Pei Zhen was busy dodging the reporters who were chasing him down and hadn’t had the time to read the news. Now that the man had made that remark, Pei Zhen had to find out for himself.

Fu Sichen had ended the news conference according to his own estimation of when Pei Zhen might turn up.

After the conference, he had waited in his office for some time for Pei Zhen. He started to worry when Pei Zhen didn’t turn up and tried to call him.

“Sichen, Sichen!” He had barely dialed Pei Zhen’s number when Wang Youquan hurried towards him. “Have you seen the headline on Weibo?”

Fu Sichen raised an eyebrow, looking quite skeptical. “What’s up?”

He had just called for a news conference, of course there’d be a headline. Prior to that, he had kept his status as the Deputy General Manager of the agency a well-guarded secret.

Fu Sichen’s situation was much better than Pei Zhen’s; there wasn’t much antagonism with the bosses. They resolved the situation and Fu Sichen remained Deputy General Manager of the agency.

“It’s Pei Zhen.” Wang Youquan looked troubled. “All the netizens are remarking how pathetic he is now.”

“What?” Fu Sichen was shocked.

The paparazzi were very quick to report.

After all, everyone wanted first-hand information and to get the most reads. In addition, the monetary reward was great.

The image of Pei Zhen riding the rental bicycle had made its rounds on the internet, gaining him considerable sympathy. That, in tandem with Fu Sichen’s news conference, would make it appear that the pair had each landed themselves extremely different, and opposite, outcomes. The netizens’ hearts broke for Pei Zhen.

“Fu Sichen is such a shrewd person. How could he do this?”

“It’s Fu Sichen’s agency that’s truly shrewd. Not only did they not terminate his contract, but they also tempted their star with a Deputy General Manager position.”

“Poor Pei Zhen. I heard that his penalties amounted to hundreds of millions. Now he’s lost the contract, his money, and even his boyfriend.”

“Fu Sichen is a piece of trash! A big piece of trash! Pei Pei, you shouldn’t turn gay. You should be straight again, boohoo.”

There were words of ridicule, deriding remarks, but also expressions of sympathy. Pei Zhen’s ex-agency was as idiotic as to post likes on the comments.

The fact that they added salt to the wound showed how cruel those capitalists were. But on the other hand, it drew even more sympathy from the netizens.

“Pei Pei, slow down, slow down a little… ahhhhh, boohoo.”

Pei Zhen and Xiao Nian were en route and hurrying to Fu Sichen’s agency. Xiao Nian, the drama queen, couldn’t even quietly ride on a motorbike and had to spew a mouthful of suggestive lines.

Pei Zhen would have chided him if he weren’t so lazy.

With a twist of his wrist, he increased the speed of the bike, charging towards his destination.

He borrowed the motorbike from the stranger. It was weird. When the stranger realized that Xiao Nian was Pei Zhen’s manager, there was a drastic change in his attitude, and he even suggested that they take the motorbike.

When they arrived at the agency, the manager was waiting at the front entrance. The engine of the motorbike was loud and attracted the attention of the crowd. They realized that it was Pei Zhen. The reporters were elated.

For sure they were here to create a scene! Hurry up! The bigger the drama was, the better!

When the vehicle came to a halt, the reporters rushed up. Pei Zhen pulled out the key and helped Xiao Nian down. Both of them got off the motorbike.

Xiao Nian was already thoroughly shaken up, and he couldn’t hold it any longer. As the crowd closed in, he suddenly threw up a mess.

“Orrrghhhhh…”

“Eeeeeks!” The unfortunate reporters that were close by panicked and started to retreat. Those in front backed into the people behind, stepping all over each other in the commotion, cameras in hand. They got all tangled up.

Once they were all far enough from the vomiting Fairy Girl Xiao, they realized that the leading player Pei Zhen was nowhere to be seen! In the commotion, he had disappeared into the agency office!
