Shen Jia’s fans really experienced what it was like to ride a roller coaster.

After seeing the clarification on Weibo, they first made a big sigh of relief, put down their heart and cried happily. While crying, they celebrated that their baby brother didn’t fall in love behind their back. 

Then they were furious and criticized the paparazzi for inventing news, scolding the paparazzi for being so blind that they couldn’t even differentiate men from women!

Finally, they were excited to see the photo of a teenage Shen Jia, boasting that he was beautiful, lovely, handsome and cute even when he was just a child. It wasn’t until they had no more words that they moved their eyes that could only see their baby brother and resumed their normal sense of reason. In an orderly and polite manner they finally looked at Qi Cong.

With his looks, many fans couldn’t help saying ‘shit’ in their hearts

This new assistant…looked very nice.

Compared with the fans who could only see their own baby brother, the reaction of melon eating netizens was much simpler and clearer. They enthusiastically beat all fans with sky-shattering laughter, occupying the top few of the hot reviews.

Ate a melon: Shit ha ha ha ha ha ha, so Shen Jia’s girlfriend that stirred up the hot search all day is in fact, a man? What’s with this stupid ass paparazzi? Was he trying to abuse Shen Jia fans? The bloggers of Shen Jia’s girlfriend in the Green Zone are you all, right? hahaha

Health and safe 20: Ha ha ha ha ha ha, I laughed so loudly that the neighbors next door sent security guards to arrest me [caught on the spot.jpg]. 

Food is protective color: The long hair and the angle of death can’t block his good-looks. Now even a star’s assistant has a requirement on the face value [kneel], no wonder that the assistant brother was recognized as a girl. With his excellent cheek profile and thin figure, coupled with the hair grown much more than the average man, he really looks like a tall, thin and rustling girl from a distance.

Then in the forth place, there were finally some comments from Shen Jia’s fans.

Want to go to the end of your line of sight: Other star relationships are exposed and are a bloodbath, but Shen Jia’s ‘relationship’ was exposed by a stupid ass paparazzi who confused a man as woman. Shen Jia, you need to reflect on it.Because of this, what paparazzi will be willing to shoot you [dog head]

 

…

 

When the Internet exploded, Qi Cong was following Shen Jia to his residence in Beishi with Shen Jia’s agent, Zhao Zhenxun.

Qi Cong was in charge of driving, while Zhao Zhenxun and Shen Jia were sitting in the back seat. One was reporting the schedule quickly, while the other was listening.

“…on the 29th, you have the “Singer Guess” recording. On the 30th, there is the performance on Chunyu’s Public Welfare platform. On the 31st, you will join the crew of “Qing Gu Chuan”. On the 1st, it’ll officially start filming. I’ve already printed the script of “Qing Gu Chuan” for you. This is your first time as the male lead in a large-scale ancient drama. You should try your best to act well. I don’t want your acting skills to be amazing. I just want you to not to be overshadowed by the second male lead, or third male lead. Do you understand? “

Shen Jia said bitterly, “It’s almost half a month from tomorrow to the end of the month. Is there no rest for even one day?”

Zhao Zhenxun showed a fatherly face. “No, you have already finished your holidays this month and for the next month.  If you give me a good performance in “Qing Gu Chuan”, I’ll give you a few days off in October. ” 

Shen Jia collapsed in despair. “I wanted to see Brother Cong’s competition in October…”

“What are you thinking about! If you have time, just watch it! ” Zhao Zhenxun took a look at Qi Cong, who was driving and swallowed his words. “Also he may not be able to get a place in the competition.” Then he pulled Shen Jia up to continue talking about his work.

More than half an hour later, the car entered a high-end neighborhood in the Ping District of Beishi. Shen Jia became alive again. Holding the back of the driver seat he guided Qi Cong, and excitedly talked about how he would make room for Qi Cong after he got home.

“Qi Cong.”

Shen Jia stopped talking and Qi Cong looked through the rearview mirror at Zhao Zhenxun and answered, “Agent Zhao.”

Zhao Zhenxun, who still wore a fatherly face, said, “You will have a physical examination tomorrow. After your medicinal examination, come to me with the bill and I will reimburse you. In your position as Shen Jia’s personal assistant, you’re mainly responsible for taking care of Shen Jia’s daily life. You will remind him of his daily schedule and urge him to prepare for the schedule in advance. Give me your contact information so it will be more convenient to keep in contact.”

Qi Cong nodded. “All right. Can I give you my contact information tomorrow? I’d like to change my contacts to a Beishi number. “

“Then send me a message as soon as you are done. You can ask Jia Jia for my phone number. Are you kidding me?” Zhao Zhenxun suddenly looked at Shen Jia beside him. “You think I’m fierce? This is my usual attitude towards you, and this is also my usual attitude towards Xiao Han. Work is work, personal acquaintance is personal acquaintance, the score is clear. “

“Brother Zhao!” Shen Jia said and glanced at Qi Cong secretly.

Qi Cong knew that Zhao Zhenxun was saying this to him. He parked the car steadily in the underground parking lot of building number 7 in the community and interrupted Shen Jia. “We’re here.”

The three of them got out of the car, took the elevator to the tenth floor and entered Shen Jia’s house. Zhao Zhenxun helped Shen Jia put Qi Cong’s luggage in the second bedroom, and then confiscated Shen Jia’s sports car keys and looked at Qi Cong.

Qi Cong was waiting for the remaining talk.

Zhao Zhenxun frowned, looked at Shen Jia and then said to Qi Cong, “Contact me as soon as possible after changing your number tomorrow.” He then left without even drinking a sip of water.

“I was scared to death. I thought Brother Zhao was going to detain you, too.” Shen Jia breathed a sigh of relief, then happily grasped Qi Cong’s shoulder. “Brother Cong, we can work together in the future. Don’t think too much about it. Brother Zhao has a sharp tongue, but a heart of tofu. He doesn’t hate you, he just always talks like that. “

Qi Cong smiled at Shen Jia, “I know.”

Shen Jia’s house was very big, with four rooms. When Shen Jia was moving in, he only decorated the master bedroom and the second bedroom. The remaining two rooms were changed into a game room and a gym and dance studio respectively. 

After settling him in, Shen Jia took Qi Cong to the nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities, have dinner and then they returned home to wash quickly. Shen Jia rushed into Qi Cong’s room with a photo album. “Brother Cong, let’s sleep together tonight!”

Qi Cong, who was sorting out the balance in his planning account, covered the notepad and smiled at Shen Jia, “All right.”

Qi Cong also went to wash up before he laid down on the bed. Shen Jia hurriedly joined in and leaned over, pulling Qi Cong. He flipped through the album while remembering the past and laughing like a fool from time to time. 

Qi Cong looked at Shen Jia with a warm expression.

If there was anything that happened in the past three years that could make Qi Cong feel good, it would be the change in Shen Jia. Three years later, the young man who was once tortured by school violence and the changes in his family finally got rid of the shadow of the past. When he mentioned the past, his words were full of lovely and warm details, and he no longer brooded about past injustices.  

Qi Cong withdrew his gaze and  looked at himself as a teenager with baby fat in a picture. His thin fingers tightened slightly.

Does this also mean that as long as he is willing to work hard, the deep hole he has fallen into will also be filled one day? 

 

…

 

Shen Jia had a job the next day and woke up early. Qi Cong got up as well and made a simple breakfast for him.  Then he watched as Shen Jia left with another assistant who came to pick him up. Afterwards, he went back to his room, sorted out his documents and various materials, and put them in his backpack before going out.

On the way to the hall, Qi Cong opened his Weibo in the spirit of getting familiar with the working environment and the current social network in advance.

An account with the ID of “Small tail of words” automatically logged in. Qi Cong quickly scanned the Weibos sent by this account and found it was full of emotional rubbish. Disgusted, he immediately logged out of the account.

This reminded Qi Cong of something.

He exited Weibo and clicked on WeChat, only to find that the dialog box with Jiang Zhaoyan was placed at the top of the interface. Looking at more than 30 unread messages displayed on the dialog box, he didn’t read them but instead, deleted them and scanned the address book with a glance. After discovering that he didn’t know any of his contacts, he felt relieved and canceled the Wechat account with a subtle feeling of vengeance.

After finishing that, he arrived at the business hall. He got out of the car and after getting the number for the business window he needed, his mobile phone rang.

The call was coming from an unfamiliar number.

He answered. “Hello, who is this?”

“Did you block my WeChat?” Jiang Zhaoyan’s voice came out with a tone of soaring anger, “Qi Cong, you’re going to be an assistant for Shen Jia, are you crazy? How many businesses have you talked to on behalf of the company in the past? Now that you will work for some small artist, what will the customers who have talked about the business with you think? Even if you want to work as an assistant, why do you need to be so high-profile? Are you trying to make me lose face? Are you getting back at me?” 

Qi Cong expression sank as he asked, “Jiang Zhaoyan, you didn’t listen to a word I said last time, did you?” 

The other side of the phone was quiet for two seconds.

“Xiao Cong,” Jiang Zhaoyan’s voice suddenly lowered, and his tone became a little fidgety. “Stop making trouble. Can’t I arrange things according to what you want? If you don’t want to go to other departments, you can stay in the position you were in before. I won’t move you. I can also explain to you what happened between Xia He and me. The situation isn’t what you think. Can’t we live in peace? “

“Are you done?”

“What?”

“Listen, Jiang Zhaoyan.” Qi Cong looked at the digital clock on the wall of the business hall, and his eyes were fixed at the numbers in front: ‘2020.’ “I will not now, or in the future, let you take anything from me again. I will absolutely, absolutely, peel off layer by layer, all of the benefits you have gained by sucking the blood of my parents and I. I want to see you go to hell. ” Then he hung up the phone, went to the corresponding business window, and said to the staff inside, “Hello, I want to cancel my original number and get a new one.”

 

…

 

After coming out of the business hall, Qi Cong got on the subway and went to the hospital. On the way, he sent his new numbers to his parents, Shen Jia, Shen Man and Zhao Zhenxun one by one, and then re-registered on Wechat with his new numbers.

After that, he flipped through the files and photos on his phone, backed up those related to his parents and Shen Jia, and then restored the phone to the factory settings.

At this point, all the traces of the past three years on his mobile phone have been completely erased.

“Ha ha ha ha, look at the topic in the hot search about #Shen Jia girlfriend#. It’s killing me. Whose picture was it?”

Qi Cong looked from his mobile phone and looked up at two girls with backpacks on their backs.

“Don’t make any noise. He seems to be on a hot search again.”

The girl who spoke first approached the other girl and looked at her cell phone. “What hot search? Apart from the publicity of ‘Heaven asked’ and the shooting of ‘Above the Dynasty’, Gu Xun should have no other work. Is it the promotion of ‘Heaven asked’? ” 

“No, Gu Gu got lost in Haicheng and was late for the event. Ha ha ha. Look at this.” The girl with long hair held up her mobile phone and clicked on a picture. “Look at this. It was taken by passers-by. Gu Gu parked at the side of Haicheng Street and got off to ask for directions. It makes me laugh to death. It turns out that Gu Gu still has time for that. “

“Pfft, didn’t he use the navigation?”

“I don’t know.”

Qi Cong’s position gave him a clear view of the cell phone the girl was holding. He didn’t want to peek, but the girl’s mobile screen was too large, and the action of holding up her mobile phone was too fast. Before he could change his line of sight, he saw the photograph.

Then he froze.

In the blurred image, a black car was parked on the side of the street, and a man in a hat was standing on the other side of the car. He stood with his back to the camera, tilting his head slightly, as if he were looking at something.

What stunned Qi Cong was that the place where this man was standing was exactly where he and Shen Jia were secretly photographed by paparazzi the other day, and this Gu Xun had more than just his chin photographed. Even the outline of his face was a little like the one he remembered.

When the subway train stopped, the girl put down her cell phone and left with her companion. Qi Cong snapped back to reality and there were some vague feelings in his mind, but he had no clue what they were when he looked closely at his past. 

Zhao Zhenxun’s call interrupted his thoughts. He lowered his head and put his cell phone to his ear.

“Agent Zhao.”

“Qi Cong, I had something to tell you yesterday but I couldn’t do it in front of Shen Jia.”

“What do you want to tell me?”

“Qi Cong, I admit that I still have some prejudice against you, but I can distinguish between personal issues and work. According to the relationship between you and Shen Jia, if you debut in the future, you’ll most likely be assigned to me, so I will give you some suggestions. Take advantage of this one and a half month’s time to explore your own advantages and specialties. If you have learned to play a musical instrument, pick it up again, if you know how to dance, you still have time to recover your form. If you can’t sing, ask Shen Jia for advice, and if you have any other talent to show, do the same.

“To put it bluntly, Manju will not send a man who can’t do anything to a stage that will be seen by the whole nation, only to be disgraced. In this one and a half months, I don’t care what method you use, but you must find something you are better at than other trainees who have worked hard for many years. Otherwise, it will be unfair to choose you and not those trainees who have been waiting for the chance to debut for a long time. “

“I understand.” When the subway arrived at the station, Qi Cong stood up and walked out with the flow of people. “I will try my best.”

“It’s good you understand. Also, if your performance doesn’t meet my expectations, I hope you will take the initiative to tell Shen Jia that you are not willing to participate in the talent show and want to find another job. “

Qi Cong hesitated for a moment, then continued to move forward as he calmly replied, “All right.”
