Chapter 170: Therefore, boss, don’t always be alone.
“A bunch of busybodies… Good-for-nothings.” Shi, the boss, muttered, but actually, she had already let her guard down. She knew the rules of the industry, was deeply familiar with its darkness, and believed she could grasp the public psyche, but some things always exceeded her control, like sincerity.
At that moment, Sun Ling couldn’t help himself and said to her, “So Boss, don’t always be alone.”
“Yeah, my CP, how about dinner together tonight?” Chen Beini also came over and shamelessly snuggled up to the boss.
“Eat by yourself, I’m dieting.” The young lady was not yet used to mingling with everyone.
“Lose weight my ass, come to my room, I’ll show you something.”
The boss felt that Chen Beini was up to something, but in the end, she didn’t voice her refusal and was led by Chen Beini toward the hotel.
After spending an entire day in self-imposed exile, embarrassed, Gu Chengyu found out about his major fan and Shi Lan’s dispute only after night had fallen. That’s because, after being rejected by Shi Lan at noon, he had secretly drunk some alcohol and then sprawled asleep on the couch all afternoon.
His team had called him, but he didn’t answer. It was only after his assistant finished his work and woke him up that he learned what had happened online.
His fans’ relationship with Shi Lan had gotten increasingly strained.
“Huahai contacted the team and issued a stern warning, telling us to tightly control the fans, or else they’d send you home. But you’re an A-list celebrity, how easy is it to control these fans?” the assistant lamented, sitting next to Gu Chengyu, “However, this time it was our big V who provoked trouble, so the team had the fan club kick out that big V, just so you know. Also, Chengyu, stop drinking, we have shooting tomorrow.”
“So you’re saying, An Lan hates me even more now,” Gu Chengyu sneered, then kicked a bottle of booze over, “Are these fans brain-damaged?”
“It was you who said you hated An Lan. That’s why they started attacking her,” the assistant couldn’t help but defend the fans, “Over these years, your fans have always seen An Lan as a tumor. How could they know your attitude has changed now? Your fans have done even worse things in the past, but back then An Lan just took it and didn’t make a fuss.”
“Sending threatening letters to An Lan, mailing her a skinned dead dog, things like that.”
Gu Chengyu closed his eyes after hearing this and took a deep breath: “I didn’t know.”
“Alright, don’t think too much about it. The messes you’ve made are already enough, let’s return to tranquility for the remaining two months. The company is already expressing displeasure with you, Chen Beini’s issue hasn’t been fully resolved yet, and you’re constantly entangled with An Lan. Do you not care about your public image?”
Gu Chengyu didn’t speak, and after a long while, he nodded: “I know what I’m doing.”
“Let go of An Lan,” the assistant continued, “It’s clear she’s not interested anymore. If you keep pushing, your fans will only get worse, and she’s really suffering.”
“I know the fans are too extreme, but if she didn’t overreact, none of this would have happened. It takes two to clap, I’m already paving the way for her, couldn’t she endure it for me? Now things are even more complicated, I’m tired.”
The assistant was silent.
The assistant felt that he couldn’t continue the conversation with Gu Chengyu.
After all, he had conveyed the company’s message. As for what Gu Chengyu thought, it was up to him.
