The Queen's Rumored Father

"I'm married! I got my marriage certificate in a small town abroad. My wife is not in the entertainment industry," He Rundong said.

Shocking!

he has married!

Of course, in terms of age, there's no problem. It's about time to get married, and it might even be considered late.

But he's an entertainment star!

This is a crucial time for him to advance from a first-tier to a top-tier position, and once this news gets out, the consequences are hard to predict.

He Rundong is really not handsome for a guy, and even... well, it's hard to describe.

However, he is particularly popular with women, especially female fans.

For celebrities like him, marriage is a taboo subject.

Even the superstars who are much bigger and more famous than him kept this matter a secret.

Once he said that, Xu Yuan understood.

No wonder He Rundong always gave him a strange feeling.

His eyes gleamed with ambition and intelligence. But whenever something actually happened, he reacted faster than anyone else. Everyone said he was arrogant, but after getting to know him, you'd find that the real tyrant was his manager.

In fact, many times it wasn't the agent serving He Rundong, but rather He Rundong assisting Hong Xilin.

Hong Xilin's words were far more forceful than He Rundong's.

So, Hong Xilin has something on him.

It wouldn't be difficult for Hong Xilin to ruin He Rundong.

"She wants to renew my contract, a twenty-year contract!" He Rundong grinned, a hint of melancholy in his expression. "Twenty years from now, what will I have left? I've already dedicated fifteen years of my life to the company; I've sacrificed half my youth!"

"They won't give me even a moment's time; they want to wait until I'm over fifty before setting me free. How can I accept such a treaty?"

"My current situation is pretty good; I'm Hong Xilin's most lucrative asset. So she hasn't made any rash moves for the time being."

He Rundong recounted his story in detail, and when he got excited, he would slam the table a few times.

"Why are you looking for me?" Xu Yuan put down his teacup.

"Because you helped Meng Xiaoxuan escape Haoyue!" He Rundong's purpose was obvious; he wanted to get rid of Hong Xilin. "And also because you are the first person I've seen who has gone head-to-head with Hong Xilin and managed to win for the time being."

"But don't let your guard down. Knowing her as I do, she definitely won't let this go."

"She is a woman whose desire for control and revenge has reached its extreme."

"Help you?" Xu Yuan's lips curled into a slight smile. "It's not impossible, but..."

"I will fully cooperate with you on the TV series 'Wind and Cloud'," He Rundong said sensibly.

The other guy on Earth became a producer early on and secured a major IP. From this perspective, he's very shrewd; he knew to proactively show sincerity and avoid putting Xu Yuan in a difficult position.

We can't let Xu Yuan state the conditions, it would make him seem like a villain, like he's after something!

Now, you said it yourself.

"Stay calm for now, and I'll let you know when I need to make the arrangements." Xu Yuan nodded and accepted He Rundong's request.

With He Rundong's cooperation, the filming of the TV series "Wind and Cloud" will definitely be smoother, and Nie Feng's role will inevitably become more and more important, transforming him from a secondary male lead to a main male lead.

This exchange is pretty good.

In the following days, the crew members indeed noticed some changes.

He Rundong seems to be in better shape, and he's causing fewer problems. In the past, he would never give in when he had scenes with Xu Yuan, but now he's repeatedly compromising.

Hong Xilin seems to have some important business recently, and she often leaves the set for one or two days at a time, so no one said anything when He Rundong gave up his role.

They were hoping Xu Yuan would take more pictures.

Both are action scenes, but Xu Yuan's are both visually appealing and fast-paced. Sometimes he can perform high-difficulty moves without wires. Who wouldn't like that?

Time quickly passed to the evening of the 15th.

The Bai Yulan Awards Ceremony of the China Television Festival is about to begin!

……

Audi was one of the sponsors for this event, so all the guests were greeted in top-of-the-line Audi A6s. This is a common practice for sponsors of various programs; even if you have prepared your own car, you must switch to a sponsored vehicle at the end.

Lei Jiayin chuckled as she looked at the relatively unknown actress sitting next to her in the car.

This is the female companion the company arranged for him.

The other person has acted in several poorly made online TV dramas, and even starred in a so-called online horror movie with sex as its main theme. Now, the other person has bought the opportunity to walk the red carpet with Lei Jiayin, which is obviously an attempt to ride on his popularity.

There's nothing we can do about it.

In fact, at every gala, the seats next to popular male and female stars become the subject of fierce competition. Some even openly bid for them.

These are all investments made by talent agencies to help their stars gain attention.

The company invests in and trains its employees in these areas.

The well-known party's company or agent also earns some extra money from these.

Of course, Lei Jiayin had the right to refuse. However, after glancing at the other person's work, he decided on this girl.

This young actress is fierce!

Of course, he had absolutely no other thoughts. In fact, he only had one thought in his mind, nothing else!

Lei Jiayin got out of the car, and the young actress took his arm. The two slowly walked down the red carpet.

The surrounding flashes were instantly drawn to it.

Lei Jiayin was one of the hottest celebrities a while ago, and he's still quite popular now.

The young actress exuded charm under the flashing lights, taking five minutes to walk a three-minute journey.

Lei Jiayin felt slightly embarrassed.

At the registration desk, he parted ways with the young actress, signed his name, and then stayed where he was.

He had just contacted Xu Yuan in the car, and Xu Yuan would be arriving soon.

We'll all go in together then.

Sure enough, when the next car opened its door, Xu Yuan appeared in front of the camera.

Lei Datou was so moved he almost cried.

Xu Yuan waited for him for so long before getting off the bus; that was really giving him face.

If Xu Yuan had gotten off the bus earlier, there wouldn't have been any flashing lights on Lei Jiayin's side. In this day and age, when traffic is everything, even celebrities have to step aside, especially for entertainment media.

Although both were nominated, Xu Yuan had just been embroiled in such a huge controversy and was in the spotlight, so he was definitely more likely to attract attention than Lei Jiayin.

Of course, when it comes to competing for roles, screen time, seniority, etc., Lei Jiayin's advantages become apparent.

This is not to say that Lei Jiayin is inferior to Xu Yuan, but rather that flash photography is more suitable for capturing online traffic.

Lei Jiayin wasn't jealous at all.

"What?"

Lei Jiayin, who had just said to herself that she wasn't jealous, widened her eyes and then watched as Xu Yuan slowly walked over, with Qi Wei on his left and Li Yuan on his right.

Scumbag!

There are two!

No wonder he told me to wait for him, is he showing off?

"Xu Yuan, there were rumors before that you and He Rundong didn't get along. Is that true?"

"Fake."

"Is it true that you used to be Meng Xiaoxuan's personal assistant?"

"real."

"Some people say you're a scumbag, and the current situation seems to confirm that. What do you think?"

"Go to hell!"

Xu Yuan walked quite fast, which doesn't really conform to the rules of the red carpet.

Female celebrities need to strike plenty of poses on the red carpet so they can have better photos appearing in various entertainment or fashion magazines. However, before Qi Wei and Li Yuan could even complain, they were stunned.

From that moment on, it was as if nails had been driven into their feet, and they never moved again.

One male and female celebrity after another walked past them.

The male stars all looked at Xu Yuan, while the female stars all looked at Qi Wei and Li Yuan, who were in the spotlight, with envy in their eyes.

The three of them stayed in one spot on the red carpet for nearly twenty minutes!

What a treat!

Lei Jiayin broke down in tears.

Why would such a big shot be standing in the entertainment reporters' seats on both sides of the red carpet?

Why should I wait so long?

With her legs aching and her back hurting, Lei Jiayin left in tears, walking alone into the hall.

Xu Yuan then said goodbye to the person who had kept him on the red carpet. He then led Qi Wei and Li Yuan to the registration area.

The host looked at the three of them with a rather strange expression.

Carpet star?

They're all trash!

These three are practically permanent fixtures on the red carpet!

But no one dared to say anything.

The person who stopped Xu Yuan and chatted with him for twenty minutes was... Boss Jack Ma!
