The moment Chen Yi said that, it was as if the reporters were just given steroids and they fought with their lives to be the one to have their microphones spoken into. Zhou Ming was fuming in anger and immediately shot forward to the front like an arrow to push them all back. He used his body to block Chen Yi from the reporters and said, 

“There is no effect on the law with his words, and they do not represent Global Entertainment. All of what he just stated are lies, just rubbish falling out of his mouth. We will give everyone a reasonable explanation for this situation. Please do not believe the rumors roaming on the internet!”

The reporters immediately turned their cameras on him and the light show that ensued could blind someone’s eyes. They started yelling over each other, but each question they asked was as if they were sticking a spear to Zhou Ming’s throat:

“Mr Zhou, as the manager for Chen Yi, besides following the orders of the executives of Global Ent, did you participate in forcing the creation of his persona?”

“Mr Zhou, you have been working for Global Ent. for more than ten years, and you have managed idols such as Tao Yan, Cheng Xi and many others. Each and every one of them, with no exceptions were first famous and then infamous and after that cycle, they all disappeared from the entertainment industry. Are there some background secrets to this?”

“Mr Zhou……”

“Mr Zhou……”

Seeing this, the corners of Chen Yi’s mouth started to hook upwards, showing off the gleeful expression of someone who just caused trouble and relished in the ensuing chaos. He was actually only feeling that these people were like dogs biting dogs. Today he’ll bite him, tomorrow he’ll bite him back, turning around in a circle, in a never ending cycle.

Chen Yi left then, leaving them in the dust to fight each other, but he would have never expected that the moment he left the company doors, he would see a very familiar car parked by the road, with the same license plate as a certain someone. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes……

Fu Xiu Nian’s head was lowered, looking at his phone to deal with some things when there was someone knocking right next to the window by him. He automatically looked over and found Chen Yi standing there just outside the window. His hands shook at the sight, almost dropping his phone.

“I didn’t know being part of the paparazzi was your part time job.”

Chen Yi pulled the door open and sat on the passenger side with his jawline tight and lips pursed. Fu Xiu Nian wasn’t sure if he was joking or really angry and so he only awkwardly coughed, 

“I was just nearby doing some things that I needed to get done, and I decided to stop by as it was on the way here.”

Chen Yi turned his head slightly, with his eyes full of suspicion, 

“Are you done then?”

Fu Xiu Nian quickly nodded his head, 

“I’m done.”

Chen Yi: “Then do you think I believe it?”

Fu Xiu Nian: “……”

This reasoning was a bit far-fetched, but just as he thought Chen Yi would chase after him for an answer, the other only leaned back against his seat, closing his eyes and resting. His breathing had quieted and he looked like he was deep asleep.

Seeing him like this, Fu Xiu Nian internally sighed a breath of relief and started to silently drive the car away from Global Entertainment.

It was the hottest time of the year and the sun was burning bright. The bugs were chirping nonstop to the point of annoyance but the car was driven very comfortably and stably. The shadows of the trees were slowly sliding across the car as they passed by, with tiny smatterings of golden light peeking through the uncovered areas, creating columns and columns of rays of light.

On the road back, there was no end to the cars passing by, no end to the crowd of humans passing by, all working hard to live. Like the millions of ancestors before them, their heads were covered by the heavens, their feet walking on the dirt of this earth and their sweat dripping onto the ground. Splattering and disturbing the dust of the earth numerous times: this was the normal lowly life of almost everyone on this earth.

Some live in fabulous, lavishly decorated lives, wishing for normality, and some live in normal, mundane lives who wish for flourishing and overly lavish wealth.

Chen Yi took a small nap and when he woke up again, the car had already stopped underneath Fu Xiu Nian’s home. He used his arm to hold up his head by the window and looked at Fu Xiu Nian. With his voice hazy and lazy, he asked,
