[Episode 9] That's why I wanted to ask him what happened between the both of them. Hold on. Ten more minutes. I could still practise a little longer. You had a fight with Xining? Her manager wants to see you. Where is he? By the door. Yingjun. Did something happen to Xining? Did you guys fight? I... Xining is missing. What do you mean? She had a schedule this afternoon. But I couldn't reach her. That's why I came here to ask if you two have had a fight. We did have an argument. But where could she have gone to? Mr. Ji. Why are you here? You had a schedule this afternoon. Zhen Yingjun was looking for you. I thought I should try my luck here. I'll head back now. It's fine. You are thinking why the company is doing this, aren't you? Do you remember what you said when you gave up on dancing? You said that one day, you will get up on your feet again and stand equal to him. How did you know I said that? That's not the point. If I hadn't refused to partner up with Yu Le in the first place, all of this might not have happened. I'm a coward. You're not. Everyone fears rumors. Especially for you who are at the centre of the controversy. But if I had been braver... Do you know why Yu Le gave you the second female lead role in a movie focused on the main female lead role? It was Fang Yan's idea. She prompted him to persuade you to give up the lead role. Even if you insisted, he would still persuade you. No matter what decision you made, it will still end up the same. He will still think you and the company stopped him from getting the role. Mr. Ji. You were behind this? There's only so much you can get. Everyone wants the best part. Wang Ziheng is under our company. Yu Le is not. Ye Xining. You have to understand that he doesn't have feelings for you. At least not that much. When it comes to our best interests, these sentiments are insignificant. I know. Why did you do so if you knew? You have never really liked someone, have you? You knew there was someone he cares about but you refused to let go. You thought time could heal everything. That you are the exception. These presumptions are wishful thinking. You have changed, Mr. Ji. You were nice to everyone. But it felt distant. It was like you were in a different world from other people. But I came to notice you seem more approachable now. Is that so? Yes. It's strange. You pointed out the truth without mercy about my relationship with Yu Le. I should be mad. But somehow I feel relieved. We have to stop in time to prevent further losses. If he's not that into you, you should make up your mind and end this relationship. If everyone was this decisive with their relationship, there wouldn't be so much unfulfilled wishes, reluctance to let go, and unappreciated feelings. If you couldn't give up for now, I could give you time. But not too long. What do you mean? You have to go through something to know when to give up and accept reality. Ji Shu! What? Who are you to tell her what to do for her love life? You are asking Xining to end their relationship so that she would consider you? The second male leads in other dramas do things without expecting anything in return. But you kept asking her to change her mind. Qi, that's not what he meant... You were eavesdropping? I wouldn't have known you are so manipulative if I didn't eavesdrop. Your perfect little scheme. No matter how they try to change, they will still end up fighting. I'm manipulative? Do I have to do this if it isn't for you? What does this have to do with me? You are intervening in someone's love life, I didn't force you to do it. Qi, it's not like what you think. Mr. Ji doesn't think that way. Xining, you don't have to speak for him. You trust people too easily. You don't know what's in their mind. He wanted you and Yu Le to break up so he could be with you. Why would I do that? I don't even have feelings for her! You don't? You're lying. You were the first one to show up when she was having a hard time. You even tried to undermine their relationship. If you don't like her, would you have shown up when she needed it the most? You even were persuading them to break up. Isn't that because you like her? I'm not the one who likes her. It's Ji Shu. What? You have two personalities now? Ji Dashu? Ji Xiaoshu? Song... What? I'm not done yet. It's always the one closest to you that catches you off guard. Xining, don't go anywhere. Yu Le will be here soon. Stay there! Yu Le? Do you remember that song during the orientation? Of course I do. That was the first time we met. Do you think our encounter was a stroke of luck? It was a good thing to happen. Yu Le. I didn't know about "The Trail". If I knew things would turn out this way... I know. Qi told me everything. I misunderstood you. It's all in the past now. I'm glad we sorted it out. When I watched you dance, it was like seeing a real swan. A swan getting ready on its feet and spreading its wings to fly towards the sky that it longs for. At that time, I thought what magic does this girl have with her feet? It was like you wouldn't fall no matter what. I might fall. I'm sorry, Xining. I jumped to the conclusion. I got mad at you without confirming the truth. I was inconsiderate of your feelings. Will you stop being mad at me? I have my problems too. Will you dance with me, my princess? Campus romance is the best indeed. No. Young puppy love should be forbidden. They should focus on learning in good schools. Then we'll have promising youths. Mr. Ji. We are being suspicious now. We are done for if they see us. There's nothing going on between us. No, I mean what if Yu Le and Xining thought we are eavesdropping? It's inappropriate. You're the one who has been eavesdropping. Mr. Ji. What I said earlier, please don't take it to heart. You know arguing can't solve problems. It's suffocating to hold it in. Yes, you're right. (What's going on?) (Why isn't this chapter ending?) (The time should stop if the misunderstanding has been cleared.) (Is it a bug?) (Based on the previous patterns,) (there should be nothing wrong with the mechanism.) (But why isn't it working now?) Where are you going? Why are you heading down? It's just a school anniversary, what's with all this fuss? It's a sparkler! The last time I did this was during Chinese New Year when I was in university. Do you know how dangerous this is? Helium balloons explode when it gets in contact with sparks. I... I didn't know. The good thing is that Yu Le and Xining left. It would be dangerous if I lighted it. (Could this be the trap laid by the dumb author?) It's not. It's not? I mean the school must know the potential hazards of helium balloons. Exactly. It's fine if the students don't know. The school leader must know. Why would they put these things here? (I'm reading too much into this.) (This should be a sweet love story.) (Why is it becoming a suspense story?) Let's just go. I don't understand. Mr. Ji. How did you know Xining would be in the hall? Do you have golden fingers? She said she would go to the school stage whenever she's feeling down or pressured. It's where her dream began. Mr. Ji. You said you don't have feelings for Xining. Why do you remember every word she said? You have liked her since high school? Yes. Darn it. I thought Ji Shu came second. I even said sequence is important. Perfect. It's hard to tell who comes first and who comes second now. I thought you liked me. You don't even know how many rivals you have. Of course I do. I can't count them all with my hands. Tell me who they are. It's... it's her. She pestered you the most. She bullied other girls who tried to chase after you. Really? I don't remember. You were focused on your studies. These things always happened. You weren't bothered. Do you remember what you ate yesterday? Yes. You do? It's problematic if you don't remember. What did I eat yesterday? Why can't I remember? Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji. How did you catch feelings for Xining? She looks good when she's dancing. That's it? Yes. (How shallow.) (I'm glad it's not some cliché) (in which the female lead protected) (the fat, rich boy from getting bullied.) (Looks like only a devoted and open admiration) (could beat this secret crush.) Mr. Ji. You shouldn't just fix your eyes on a single rose. Look at me. I'm a morning glory. Morning glory? I'm glad you are self-aware. But some people prefer roses. Mr. Ji. You are someone of status. Roses are too superficial. Morning glory suits me better? We will complement each other. Is that so? Yes. I don't mind if you give it a try first before paying. I do mind. Mr. Ji! Give it a try! How about installments? Mr. Ji! I didn't know the second male lead had liked Xining since high school. Should I continue to stand in his way? But no matter how hard he tries, it will all be in vain. He will only get hurt in the end. Do you see how Qi is being all depressed today? Yes. It must have something to do with Mr. Ji. I'm sure. In fact, I forgot something in the office yesterday. When I came back to get it, I saw Qi getting in Mr. Ji's car. Seriously? Oh, gosh. I knew it has to do with Mr. Ji. I want to know how far they have progressed in their relationship. I bet they have made a big progress. What are you guys doing? I thought we have a meeting. Right away. You may begin. I found the news about our artists on these two websites. I'm not sure what their sources are. But I contacted the person-in-charge to delete the post. But the news is still spreading on the internet. Fu Wen cheated on his girlfriend. Is he some pervert? It was at a dinner with the shooting team. There were other staff members. Fu Wen's career is advancing now. These rumors will ruin his image. The PR team will follow up on this. Before Zhou Hao's debut, he performed a stunt where someone would smash a stone slab on his chest. The stone slab didn't crush but he was so shocked with the hammer that he passed out. About this, it must be our competitor who shared this but things took another turn. It even helped us to promote. Now the netizens are saying he will have good sense in variety shows. That we should let him go on more variety shows. So the truth is... I checked with Zhou Hao. He had low blood sugar at that time. An Jing. PR team, clarify this matter. Alright. Why is there still news about Yu Le and Xining breaking up? People are still discussing them. They should display their interactions more to deny these rumors. And update on Xining's work? The movie has finished editing and submitted for competitions. She has to join a variety show recording today. There are more magazine and variety show invitations lately. Including some acting role invitations. Her overall popularity is increasing. Her popularity is rising, her resources should also catch up. Or her value will remain stagnant. -Alright. -Got it. Check the news source. Send a legal letter if needed. Publish a statement to clarify. Artists are not only our partners, they are also our family. We have to protect them, okay? Yes. Also... Excuse me. Hello? Okay. I got it. Mr. Ji. Xining fainted on set. She's been sent to the hospital. What? Let's go to the hospital now. Mr. Ji. That's it for today. To the hospital. Mr. Ji. What are you doing? I'm coming with you. You don't have to. I promised you. I will keep my promise. You had better be. Doctor, is she okay? She didn't have enough rest. She fainted due to low blood sugar. But the patient's condition is not well. I suggest doing a thorough check-up. Here's the health assessment form. Okay. Thank you, Doctor. You're welcome. Xining. You scared me. I'm sorry to worry you. Have you been working too hard lately? I guess I didn't have enough rest. The doctor said you should do a thorough check-up. Don't worry. Xining. I have to pick up a call. -I fell from the stairs. -Xitian. Where are you? I'm in the hospital. I'm scared. Don't be scared. I'll be there soon. What happened? I'm fine now. What did the doctor say? Eat well and rest well. Okay. Xining. Something came up. I have to go. Sure. Xining, give me a minute. I have to go to the restroom! Slowly. Here. You have to apply the ointment every day. I will prescribe some anti-inflammatory medication. Do you have any medication allergies? She's allergic to cephalosporins. I can't believe you still remember that. Are you okay? Could you walk? You are seriously injured, and you're still walking? What if you tear up your wounds? Stay put. Thank you. Yu Le, Xining is waiting for you. Xitian. I have something else to do. I can't send you home. But I'm too scared to go home now. What if they harass me again? Look. I gave them the money. But they still won't leave me alone. I don't know what to do now. Yu Le is not a cop. If you're scared, I can go with you to file a police report. -Yu Le... -Don't be scared. I will settle this for you. Well, could you stay with me tonight? I don't have many friends here. No way. If he stays by your side, he will be on the trending list again. You could stay at my house if you're scared. We are not that close. She can't. Why not? I'm the landlord. I don't want another person on the same floor. Mr. Ji. She's a girl in a vulnerable state. She's hurt and can't go back to her home. It's none of my business. Mr. Ji. A girl is being harassed by a loan shark. You're just going to stand by and watch? She has Yu Le. Not Yu Le. He has to avoid scandals. I'm single too. I have to be careful too. If so, you'll have to be careful for the rest of your life. Xitian. Don't worry. I won't let them hurt you. Okay. I will arrange Gao Ming to send you to another house. The security is reliable there. You don't have to worry. But I... That's a good idea! No. Can't you stay by my side? Xining is still in the hospital. I can't just leave her. Gao Ming. Let me know after you sent her home. Okay. I... Yu Le, I get scared when I'm alone. Call me anytime if anything happens. Xitian. I used to practise Taekwando. You don't have to worry with me around. No. Let's go. Yu Le. (Gao Ming, Gao Ming.) (You're the reason she's frustrated.) Well done! Qi. Mr. Ji. I'll go first. I have to take care of Xining. Go ahead. Mr. Ji, let's go. (This is not right.) (Song Yanqi is within my sight all this time.) (She hasn't done anything to change Yu Le.) (What is the reason) (for this plot change?) Mr. Ji, what's wrong? Is he feeling bitter that he failed to split up Xining and Yu Le? (Ji Shu, it's really you.) (When did you enter?) (You had so many chances today.) (Why didn't you stop her from changing the plot?) (You have changed.) (Tell me why.) (Is it because of her?) (The plot can change,) (but you shouldn't.) (How about I restore the plot in your stead?) Who are you? What do you want? Song Yanqi. Mr. Ji, why did you knock on my door in the middle of the night? Did you see anything or hear anything suspicious? This is why you came in the middle of the night? Just answer me. Yes or no? No. That's good to know. (That person knows me.) (He even mentioned something about entering.) (Could he be...) (someone from reality?) Did you have a nightmare? No. This won't do. I have to end the story and return. The longer I stay, the more dangerous it gets. Is he sleepwalking? Well then... Yu Le. Look what have you done! What's wrong, Ms. Yan? See for yourself! What is this? "What is this?" I should be asking you instead. Tell me what all this is about. I... You opened up about your relationship. I could tell people you're being responsible. You said you want to act. I tried everything I can to find opportunities. What's with this now? What more are you not telling me? Do you still want to stay in this industry? Ms. Yan. This is not true. It's just a joke I pulled with Xining. A joke? Do you think the social media accounts will buy it? But it was really meant as a joke. I wasn't being serious. You were not serious. But what about Ye Xining? Gao Ming. Monitor public opinion. Get ready to manage the comments and counter malicious attacks. Also, prepare a press release. Mention that Yu Le will be acting in Director Wang's latest movie and attach the audition photos. We'll try to distract the public's attention. I'll get right on it. Now you can tell me the whole story. Someone must have made it up. We will verify this as soon as possible. We will release a statement officially later on. Chat records? The internet is advanced nowadays. Anything can be fabricated. Someone must have edited the photo. Everyone! Contact the press and find out the source. Meeting in ten minutes. I'm already talking to them. Good. Qi. Xining is still in the hospital. Keep in touch with her. Hello? How did this happen? The story isn't supposed to go like this. (Could it be) (that mysterious man from last night?) (The plot is advancing earlier than expected.) Impossible. This is definitely fake. You are friends with Xining on WeChat. You will know if the chat is real. The display photo. The display photo could be fake. Someone must have edited it. Their relationship is inherently a mixture of truths and lies. That is a fact. You knew from the beginning, didn't you? Truths and lies. What are the truths and what are the lies? (Ji Shu.) (Just wait and see.) (When I return to reality,) (I will kill you and feed your body to dogs!) Yu Le! That's ridiculous! I didn't know things would escalate. Nothing can remain a secret in this world. Especially in this industry. You said only you and Ye Xining knew about this. Ye Xining should be the one who leaked the screenshot of the chat. Impossible. She's not that type of person. Don't assume only the best in people. She's just using you to get what she wants. No. I was the one who suggested it. I know this is unfair to you. I will try my best to compensate you. I want to settle down to hone my acting skills. To remove my label as an influencer. But everyone seems to care more about my dating scandals. I don't want to be just a fleeting star. Okay. I'm on board. Okay. Xining. Don't look at the comments on the internet. The netizens... Qi, you don't have to speak for him. I saw it yesterday. Ask me whatever you want. I know I shouldn't probe into your personal life. But this is really serious. This will also affect your career. You want to know if the rumor is true. Am I right? Yes. The agreement is true. The chat conversation is true. But the physical agreement leaked online is fake. We only have a verbal agreement between us. It's true? I'm sorry, Qi. I'm sorry to disappoint you. What about the feelings between you and Yu Le? How could you do this? Alright. Calm down. What's urgent is that we have to leave the hospital now. That's right, Qi. Or it will be too late. You saw it too when we were on our way. Some of the media outlets are on their way here. Ms. Yan. Okay, I got it. Fang Yan would like to meet to discuss how to handle this issue. She could come to our office. Okay. Yingjun. What about Yu Le? This has a bigger impact on him. Fang Yan seems to be frantic too. Mr. Ji. Can I ask you for a favor? Say it. Try to salvage Yu Le's reputation. He has come a long way. Please. What about you? Have you thought about yourself? Mr. Ji. We should think of a way to leave the hospital for now. I have an idea. Ye Xining is here! Ye Xining! Ye Xining! Ye Xining, did you and Yu Le reach a contractual agreement so that he provides you with resources? Ye Xining! Are there any real feelings between both of you? Ye Xining, did Yu Le force you to sign it or it was a mutual agreement? Say something, Ye Xining. Yu Le cheated on you when you were sick. Do you have anything to say about that? Ye Xining, say something. Ye Xining! Yu Le cheated on you when you were sick. Do you have anything to say? Ye Xining! What is your relationship with the company director? She's not Ye Xining. No, she's not Ye Xining. -Make way. -Where's Ye Xining? Where's Ye Xining? Ye Xining? Where is Ye Xining? Where's Ye Xining? Where is Ye Xining? She's not out yet. She's not out? Just let it out if you want to cry. Why would I cry? This is all the dumb author's fault! Darn you, Ji Shu. I'll kill you! Mr. Ji, don't get me wrong. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about that jerk with the same name as yours. You're really mad. How can I not be mad? I shipped a fake couple! This is all his fault. He keeps getting in my way. I warned you long ago. Don't get all invested when you ship a couple. You are regretting it, aren't you? We look up to the sky with our feet on the ground. Life hangs by a thread. Losing temper over someone petty, no one can take your place when anger leads to illness. This isn't worth it. Ji Shu. There are so many other names. Why is your name Ji Shu? You could look like anyone else. Why do you look exactly like him? You're even not happy with my name? I can't believe this is true. I saw it. I saw there are feelings between Yu Le and Xining. Even if there's an agreement, it's also meant as a joke. Someone found out about it and twisted the truth. That agreement must be a fake photo. How do you tell what is real and fake? I know how gossip sites work after all these years. These things usually come with a testing phase or a gradual build-up. This came without warning. Someone must have leaked it with bad intentions. That makes sense. What else? And contractual romance sounds like something from a web novel. Even if it's real, do you think they are that stupid? Is this some TV show? They wouldn't have left the evidence to pose risks to themselves. What about the chat record? Even if the chat record is real, it could be just a part of a whole conversation. Couples role-play sometimes. It's normal to pull this kind of joke. You have a point. I will catch the person behind this. (Why did this break-up) (happen earlier?) (Did something happen in reality?) (Who is that mysterious man) (from last night?) Could it be him? I know. This won't affect us working together. I will deal with this in the best way possible. Sure... We will come for the audition. Okay. Goodbye. Ms. Yan. The brand said that if we still remain silent, they will terminate the contract. Some even issued termination statements. Okay. Try to talk to them first. Mr. Ji and I will come up with countermeasures. Okay. How do you plan to handle this, Mr. Ji? What is your plan? I believe everyone knows the whole story. Yu Le is part of the reason things turned out this way. But it takes two to tango. Ye Xining agreed so that she could have his resources. You're right. (Darn this second male lead.) (He must be glad) (that he has a chance to separate them now.) I don't want to interfere with their relationship. Now we are all at risk of paying a high penalty for breach of contract. I believe you wouldn't want to lose money before even earning them, Mr, Ji. What do you plan to do? We will cooperate. We must not admit that the contract is true. We will explain it's a prank between friends and it was extracted without context. Excuse me. I think so too. But do you think the netizens will buy it? We are not just going to clarify. My friend is shooting an idol drama. I talked to him. They will be acting in the drama. This photo will be the behind-the-scenes photos. We will take this opportunity to announce this drama and go on TV shows together. I also plan to have them participate in the dating reality show. Fang Yan. You finally changed your mind. I arranged a live broadcast at 3 PM. They will clarify this matter together. Mr. Ji. The film by Director Qian won. Xining won the Best Actress! Shall I release this news to cover up? No. We'll go with her decision. Okay. What do you think, Yu Le and Xining? Mr. Ji and Ms. Yan. Can I talk to Yu Le alone? Sure. Xining. I didn't know this would happen. I should have cleared my chat records. It's not just your fault. That is the truth. We can't hide the truth. I didn't think it through. Why did I suggest something so ridiculous? Yu Le. Ms. Yan is right. I agreed to be with you not just because I like you, but also because I want resources. Resources? Are you saying this because you're mad about me and Xitian? I admit she was once important to me. But that was in the past. Are you sure? Maybe, Yu Le. Every time I saw you with Xitian, I couldn't say anything even if I was jealous. Do you know why? Because our intention isn't pure from the start. It doesn't matter what our initial reason to be together is, I just want... Pick up the call. Yu Le. I came back to grab my things but they found me. I'm stuck upstairs. Go. Wait for me. Why is he heading out? Something happened to Xitian. What? The live broadcast is about to start. I'll make him come back. Qi. Forget it. I can't. I'm here to stop this from happening. Yu Le! Do you know what are you doing? Yes. Then why are you leaving? If you can't make it back in time, you're going to let Xining deal with the netizens alone? How is that going to make her look? I will return before the live broadcast. What if you can't? What if you can't make it? Do you think Sun Xitian will let you go once you are there? She can't wait for you guys to break up! Xitian is not what you think she is. Qi. When I was training overseas, there were so many times I wanted to give up. Xitian was by my side during my hardest time. I have to do something when she needs me. Are you stupid? That is exactly why she's doing this to you. I'm suspecting she's the one who leaked the contract! I know you are close to Xining. You worry for her. But you can't accuse her without evidence. Forget it. Say no more. Come back with me. You could go to her. But that will be after the live broadcast. I can't! She's in danger. What if something happens to her? You could call the cops. You could dial 120 if you're sick. Are you a cop or a doctor? Why do you care so much? I... Tell Xining that I'm sorry. I will make it back before the live broadcast. Yu Le. Yu Le! Yu Le! Yu Le! Yu... (You can't stop this.) (Give up.)
