Chapter 21

Sui Si's throat was clamped by an invisible hand.

He wanted to contact Yu Tang and see how Yu Tang was recovering, but not in such a fatal situation.

In W&P's headquarters building, Yu Tang is a regular employee who has joined W&P. He is a partner that W&P abandoned the letter of intent, suspended the evaluation process, and kicked out without mercy.

...former partners.

Sui Si stood there, regretting that he had stopped Yu Tang in shock.

He didn't even have the energy to think about Yu Tang's reaction. Under the surprised gazes of those W&P employees, Sui Si's face grew hot, and he was so ashamed that he had to forcefully avert his gaze to avoid turning around in embarrassment.Escape downstairs.

What does Yu Tang see him like now?

There has been such a big fuss these days, almost no one knows that something happened in his studio, and there are even gossips on the Internet, which are both true and false and ridiculed, causing uproar in the city.

How did Yu Tang feel when he knew this?

Yu Tang has done so much for the studio, but he has never been appreciated.Now that something happened to him, does Yu Tang feel happy to resolve his hatred, or does he feel pity for him, or regrets that the studio he built with his own hands has ended up in this state?

Why... could Yu Tang cut off the relationship so neatly and then really not contact him at all?

Sui Si gritted his teeth, and many doubts that had been deliberately ignored surged up like a tide, drowning him and almost suffocating him.

"Excuse me..." Sui Si forced out half a sentence, "I'm leaving right now, I..."

Yu Tang walked down the stairs.

Sui Si suddenly raised his head when he heard the footsteps.

His chest rose and fell, and as he watched Yu Tang walk down, he seemed to have suddenly seen a life-saving straw, and his face became slightly brighter: "... Yu Tang?"

Sui Si's voice was hoarse. He tried his best to clear his throat and asked in a low voice: "How are you recovering? I heard they said you were discharged from the hospital. You are now-"

Sui Si's voice stopped suddenly.

Yu Tang was facing the light, and it wasn't until he walked in front of him, only two steps higher than him, that Sui Si finally saw Yu Tang's expression clearly.

He tried to contact Yu Tang, and he imagined many possible reactions that Yu Tang might show when the two people meet again.He even thought that Yu Tang might hate him, might deliberately ignore him, and turn a blind eye to him, just like Ke Ming did when he was angry with him in the past and the gambling was at its worst...

…

Never thought of this.

The reaction of Yu Tang in front of him made him more breathless than the worst possibility that Sui Si had ever imagined.

Sui Si stood there, with a loud "buzz" in his head, and a vague smell of blood in his throat.

Sui Si looked at him, his lips moved, and his voice was so low that he couldn't hear clearly: "Yutang?"

Yu Tang looked very gentle and looked at him with friendly eyes. Xun Sheng tilted his head slightly.

"Yutang." Sui Si heard himself asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Sui Si's job is to be an actor, and he can tell clearly whether something is staged or not.What's more, the person in front of him is Yu Tang. They have been acting as spouses in front of the camera for more than two years. He knows better than anyone how poor Yu Tang's acting skills are and how incapable he is of pretending in front of others.

If Yu Tang wants to act, he can't act like this.

Sui Si closed his eyes. He stood in Yutang's warm and distant eyes when facing strangers, and was a little bit stunned by such eyes.

He would rather Yutang hated him.

"Sir, are you feeling uncomfortable?" He heard Yu Tang's voice, "Please wait a moment, we have a temporary rest room -"

Sui Si shook his head weakly: "Don't talk to me like that..."

Sui Si could no longer hide his indescribable embarrassment. He forgot everything. He took a step forward and reached out to grab Yu Tang's arm, but his grasp was in vain.

Yu Tang stepped back two steps.

"Feel sorry."

Yu Tang didn't know what he wanted to do. He frowned slightly and explained softly: "I'm not used to people touching me."

The people in front of him recognized him and knew his name.Yu Tang couldn't find this person in his memory. He walked down, just curious and wanted to ask who the other person was and whether he had met him before.

But the other person doesn't really look like a person in a normal mental state.

If something happens here, it will have a negative impact on W&P.Yu Tang didn't want to cause trouble to the company, so he stepped back and returned to a safe distance: "I'm sorry, I don't remember you, please"

Darren's voice came from behind him: "Yutang."

Yu Tang turned around and breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. Darren."

Darren walked down and nodded to him.

Those employees recognized Sui Si, but they were not sure about the treatment Yu Tang received. They thought that the so-called movie king wanted to come back and compete with them to fight for Mr. Yu because the studio could not continue running, so they urgently went to find Darren who was still in the conference room.

"I just received news from the marketing department that our promotional cooperation with you has not passed the evaluation and we have decided to terminate the cooperation. This was a decision made long ago and has nothing to do with our new sales director."

Darren signaled Yu Tang to step back and apologized politely to Sui Si: "It was our fault that we failed to keep in touch with you at all times, resulting in poor communication between the two parties. I apologize to you on behalf of the company."

Sui Si's chaotic thoughts were poured cold water on him, and he barely regained some sense.

... the discontinued cooperation evaluation.

Sui Si gritted his teeth, and the anger of being teased returned to his chest.

The business-like attitude of Darren in front of him was completely different from before, almost like some kind of blatant mockery.

"Cooperation...what does it mean to you? Child's play?"

Sui Si's throat burned badly. He stared at Darren and asked in a hoarse voice: "You use cooperation as a cover just to pry corners from my studio? Now you've poached people away and you won't continue if you say you won't continue?!"

Darren nodded: "That's right."

Sui Si: "..."

In the entertainment industry, everyone is a public figure after all. Even if they have any intentions, they are hidden behind the sanctimonious kindness. They make some excuses and put up a cover, but they still speak human words.

These businessmen who work for money, Nie Chi is like this, and this Darren in front of him is like this...

Sui Si held on to the handrail of the stairs. He was choked to the point of speechlessness. His chest was throbbing with pain. His eyesight went black and he had to bend down and take a deep breath.

Yu Tang was stopped by Darren. Looking at the situation in front of him, he was a little worried: "Mr. Darren, is he okay?"

"It doesn't matter." Darren said, "Do you know him?"

Yu Tang shook his head.

"He met you before. He wanted to discuss a cooperation with W&P and wanted to establish your relationship."

Darren explained briefly and asked Yu Tang: "Do you want to catch up with him?"

Yu Tang finally understood the situation, felt relieved a little, and shook his head: "No."

"Work is the first priority." Yu Tang said slowly with a gentle voice, "I will not... interfere with the company's decision-making because of my personal issues."

Darren smiled: "It's not that serious. As long as you don't feel uncomfortable, it's okay to say a few words."

Yu Tang didn't feel anything at all. He didn't know where Darren started talking. He touched his chest and looked at the embarrassed man in front of him.

He has an impression of everyone he has met in recent years.

He remembered that he had been engaged in entertainment-related work, and he could recognize the artists, agents, and heads of external relations of various companies mentioned in the marketing department's proposal just now.

With just a little recall, Yu Tang can quickly judge the value of these people's cooperation in all aspects such as fan audience, popularity, exposure, and past endorsements.

But he couldn't remember the person in front of him.

Since they don't remember, it should mean that they haven't seen each other in these years.

The other party knows about me, but doesn’t have his contact information, and he doesn’t know the formal process of business cooperation. Trying to find a personal relationship with him doesn’t seem to be a very satisfactory life.

Yu Tang thought about it carefully and asked softly: "Are you also from the orphanage?"

Sui Si's ears were buzzing. He couldn't understand what Yu Tang meant and was a little confused: "...What?"

Yu Tang's tone was very gentle: "Are you short of money now?"

He has always been very good at remembering other people. If he really has no memory of people, they will probably just be vague faces that he met in the orphanage during his childhood and have nothing in common with him.

The children in the orphanage are very different in age, and Yu Tang is considered to be on the younger side.The older group should be at this age when they leave the orphanage and start struggling in society.

"Did you study later?" Yu Tang said slowly, "You must study first and then go to work, otherwise you will suffer a lot."

Sui Si opened his bloodshot eyes and looked at Yu Tang, shaking his head weakly amid the ringing in his ears.

He couldn't understand Yu Tang's words at all, and he couldn't figure out what happened to Yu Tang. He looked at the figure in front of him, and for a moment he even began to miss the figure who couldn't move, couldn't remember to blink or speak, and looked blank and meek., Yutang was fed porridge and drank obediently by him.

"Then you go study." Yu Tang said, "When my situation gets better and I earn some money, I will do charity so that others can afford to study."

Yu Tang didn't have that much money yet, so he was a little embarrassed. His fair ears turned red, and he explained in a low voice: "I have wanted to do it for a long time, but I didn't have enough money, and I couldn't find the time before..."

He suddenly stopped talking and paused blankly.

He has forgotten why he was so busy before that he couldn't find time. W&P's work is very easy. Those reports and documents are very simple in his eyes. As long as he pays a little attention, he can handle them properly and comprehensively.

Yu Tang didn't intend to explore what he had forgotten, and he had no motivation or idea to remember it. He was just a little confused.

He himself couldn't imagine what kind of job it was that would make him think of that time even slightly, as if he was being swallowed up and swallowed completely, without even a chance to take a breath.

All the things he wanted to do and the life he wanted to try were all wiped out, and he didn't have time to do anything.

He couldn't imagine what kind of job it was that would cost him most of his life.

Sui Si watched Yu Tang being taken away, stood there for a long time, moved down the stairs step by step, and walked out of the W&P headquarters building in a daze.

Nie Chi was waiting for him outside.

Seeing Sui Si come out, Nie Chi opened the car door for him and let Sui Si sit in: "Did your talks with the W&P people go smoothly?"

Sui Si completely lost his strength. He almost fell on the back of the chair and looked up at Nie Chi.

Nie Chi paused for three seconds, nodded, returned to the driver's seat and opened the communication panel: "Mr. Sui has not had any arrangements recently and can participate in the recording of the program at any time."

Sui Si asked hoarsely: "What program?"

Nie Chi gave him a name for a variety show.

Sui Si frowned.

The rating of the variety show is not low. It is an adventure show with good popularity and exposure. No matter which part he is asked to record, it is already the best resource they can receive now.

But... this variety show was the one signed by Ke Ming's manager, who required Ke Ming to hand over his mobile phone, cut off contact with the outside world, and close the recording.

The person who comes to contact Sui Si now is either a flying guest or a temporary fill-in, and must not be the main guest.

Sui Si didn't mind using himself to promote Ke Ming. He was just confused and hadn't decided yet...whether he wanted to see Ke Ming at this time.

"Don't you want to go?"

Nie Chi started the car and saw that he still didn't respond, so he was very considerate: "I can help you refuse. The invitation from the program team is just a tentative contact, and the attitude is not firm..."

Sui Si suddenly woke up and pressed his eyebrows hard, forcing himself to wake up: "Go."

In the past, Yu Tang helped him collect a dozen high-quality resources and let him choose according to his heart.of.

This is no longer the case.

If you miss this invitation, we don’t know when we will find the next suitable resource.

"Tell them back and say I can come anytime."

Sui Si said: "It doesn't matter what the link is... you can do it, I'm willing to cooperate."

Nie Chi responded as he said: "Mr. Ke's recording of the first few sessions has been temporarily completed. He sent a few messages. Do you want to reply together?"

Sui Si closed his eyes, his mind was so confused that it was about to explode. He said nothing and shook his head tiredly.

After all, I have to participate in the variety show recording. As for Xiao Ming... it would be better to wait until we meet in person.

They just had some misunderstandings, and they couldn't talk about it for the time being because they hadn't met.

Not to that point, Sui Si thought.

Ke Ming had never seen these storms before, and was frightened for a moment. They had no contact with each other during this period, so they just took a breather and calmed down.

We can make it clear when we meet again.

Sui Si took two sleeping pills, closed his eyes, and tried his best to think about the good things and the plans he and Ke Ming had together.

He couldn't think about Yutang now, couldn't think about the reason why Yutang became like this, and couldn't recall the strange look on that face.Even if any thought about Yu Tang came up, it was like a red-hot iron, mercilessly rolling into his mind, burning his skin and flesh to pieces.

The effect of the sleeping pills made him sleep all the way until the car drove downstairs to the apartment and he was woken up by Nie Chi.

Sui Si had a splitting headache and reluctantly opened his eyes: "Arrange the time and let me know when the time comes."

Nie Chi nodded: "The assistant has already packed the luggage. You can check it and see if there are any gaps."

Sui Si agreed casually, stood up and got out of the car.His legs were so heavy that he reluctantly walked upstairs and entered the house.

The new assistant came to help him tidy up the room, which smelled of his least favorite air freshener.

Sui Si's throat was extremely dry. He searched around the house and found only boiling water. The items in the refrigerator had not been touched because he had not been back for several days and some of them were no longer edible.

Sui Si went to clean the cup. He held the glass tightly, his fingers spasmed due to excessive force, and he controlled himself not to smash the thing.

No one was left to clean up the situation in silence for him again and again.

Sui Si turned on the faucet, stood for a few minutes holding the glass, turned off the water, and walked slowly back to the living room.

The suitcase had been neatly organized and placed open in the living room, waiting for him to check for any flaws.

Sui Si had no intention of doing so. He squatted down, opened the innermost safe compartment of the suitcase, and fumbled in his coat pocket for a while.

He took out the two old lucky bags that were left in the office and had not been taken away by Yu Tang.

He flattened them, put them in the mezzanine, zipped them up again, returned to the bedroom, and fell motionless on the bed.

The effect of the sleeping pills had not worn off yet, and Sui Si's consciousness was a little slow. Those words that Yu Tang had said to him at the W&P headquarters that he had not been able to hear clearly due to his trance gradually became clearer without realizing it.

Sui Si's mind was in chaos, and he thought drowsily.

Why would Yu Tang mention the orphanage?

For no reason, how could Yu Tang think of doing charity and sponsoring people's studies?

Of course, reading is useful. Ke Ming relied on reading to survive step by step with the support of the Sui family.

Ke Ming would sometimes talk to him about the past, about the hard work of studying hard at the time, about his desire to change his destiny, and about how he had finally gotten ahead and had to stand where everyone could see him.

Every time Sui Si heard him talk about those past events, she felt both distressed and relieved.

But this time, a very obscure and vague idea quietly appeared from nowhere.

When he first debuted, he also wanted to do charity work, but he put it aside because he had a confrontation with the Sui family and had no money left.

Later, things got smoother and smoother. He had to film movies, participate in shows, and had more and more things to do, so he forgot about this plan.

Xiao Ming...how come you never reminded him?
