We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

Su Weile was stunned for a moment. Something happened? What happened?

He had told Jin Jiajia and Yu Changning that he was safe last night, and everyone was fine. As soon as Yu Changning said something had happened, Su Weile's first thought was whether something had happened to Jin Jiajia.

Switching to Yu Changning's chat page, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yu Changning then sent a link: "Shocking!! Allegedly, a pornographic video of rising star Xin Yue has been leaked. --- The sudden fall of a rising star."

Su Weile was genuinely surprised. She clicked the link and found that the video was no longer available.

"The video won't play, is this a prank?"

Yu Changning quickly replied, "It shouldn't be. I saw a screenshot of the video posted by someone else, and it's gone viral online. The person in the video isn't blurred out, and it's clearly Xinyue."

Su Weile didn't quite understand the situation. "Then why can't I find related news online anymore?"

Although Yu Changning was young, she had spent at least two years in the entertainment industry and was quite knowledgeable about these things. She immediately began to explain them to Su Weile.

"This is a battle of capital. Xinyue was able to stand out among a group of newcomers, of course, because of the strong capital behind her."

It's now a battle between two forces. You post, I delete; you post again, I delete again. We'll see who has the greater power in the end. Xin Yue's future in the entertainment industry will be decided in this struggle.

Su Weile was truly amazed. The entertainment industry is a deep and complex place. People who don't understand the rules would never imagine that the disputes over right and wrong are just the result of a struggle between capital. Whatever result they want everyone to see, everyone will see.

Su Weile recalled what Tang Shaowu had coldly said to Jin Fei back in the hospital:

"Who the audience likes and who they want to see, frankly speaking, is who the capital behind them wants them to like and who they want to see. And what you need to do is play your roles well—the roles we've tailored for you."

Su Weile suddenly felt uneasy; he really disliked this industry more and more.

Yu Changning continued, "Xinyue is usually too arrogant and domineering. Now everyone is speculating about which powerful figure she has offended."

By the way, Brother Le, the manager of Xinyue that you beat up yesterday arrived at the film set early this morning. It's such a pity you weren't there. He was so cowardly that he was almost kneeling down and apologizing to the director and Sister Jiajia.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I cried my eyes out. I even mentioned you, asking for your address so I could come and apologize. You're completely different from how you were at the police station yesterday, yelling that you wanted us in jail!

Although Su Weile wasn't one to kick someone when they're down, thinking back to their arrogant and domineering behavior yesterday, he really felt they deserved it. This karma coming back to haunt them was quite satisfying.

Su Weile chatted with Yu Changning for a few more minutes and learned that Jin Jiajia had resumed her normal filming schedule. Whether or not the lead actor in the movie was changed didn't affect her, so Su Weile was relieved.

He could tell that Yu Changning was quite happy, and the two chatted lively for a while, even making a promise to go to the film set together again next time.

Tang Shaowu finally ended his business conversation with his secretary just before they arrived at the company.

The moment the call ended, Tang Shaowu looked at Su Weile and asked, "Who were you chatting with?"

Su Weile exited the chat with Yu Changning and said, "Nobody, just a kid. You've ended the call? You're always so busy."

Tang Shaowu looked at Su Weile and asked, "The kid you fought with yesterday? I heard you even got Attorney Shen to bail him out?"

Su Weile muttered to herself, "Attorney Shen is such a big mouth; he has to report such a small matter."

"Yes, that's right. After all, he got dragged into this because of me. If he hadn't helped me, he wouldn't have been arrested by the police."

Tang Shaowu sneered and said, "Hmm, they haven't known each other for long, but their friendship is quite deep~ Will they be together again in a couple of days..."

Su Weile had a pretty good grasp of Tang Shaowu's temperament. He felt that Tang Shaowu was like a child who had never had toys before, and when he finally got one, he was extremely stingy about sharing it.

Perhaps because she had never had a close friend, Su Weile felt that he was particularly domineering towards her, demanding, and strict.

Upon sensing Tang Shaowu's off-key tone, Su Weile immediately stood up from her seat opposite Tang Shaowu and sat down next to him. "Our friendship isn't deep at all!!! Just ordinary friends. It can't compare to our friendship. What kind of relationship do we have? We're best friends, the kind who ring bells together."

When Su Weile mentioned "ringing a bell," she spoke in a low voice, but her face still turned red.

Tang Shaowu was amused by his adorable appearance, and his displeasure dissipated. "Is he telling the truth?"

"Mmm, it's even more real than pearls."

Tang Shaowu glanced at Su Weile's still slightly bruised mouth. "Does your mouth still hurt?"

Su Weile saw Tang Shaowu staring at his mouth, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of the strange dream he had yesterday. The blush that had just subsided returned to his face.

Su Weile said a little nervously, "No, it's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. My beautiful grandma said that there's fresh flesh in the mouth, so it heals quickly~"

Tang Shaowu looked at him without saying anything, then reached out and placed his hand on the back of his neck, gently stroking the ends of his hair with his fingers.

Upon arriving at Tang's headquarters, as soon as the car came to a stop, several managers who had been waiting at the entrance came forward to greet us.

Su Weile followed Tang Shaowu, surrounded by everyone, and entered the Tang Group building.

As he passed through the lobby, he was bombarded with stares from a group of employees. It wasn't until he boarded the private elevator for the upper floors that Su Weile finally let out a long sigh of relief. He had never been treated with such a grand reception before, and he was a little unaccustomed to it.

Su Weile looked at Tang Shaowu, who seemed completely used to it, his demeanor calm and composed. Su Weile recalled her uncle's words, "Young Master Tang is not from our world."

Su Weile made a surprising discovery: whenever he was alone with Tang Shaowu, he felt no distance from him at all, regardless of age or social status.

However, as soon as one enters Tang Shaowu's social circle, that sense of distance immediately becomes apparent.

Tang Shaowu was such a high and mighty young master. Su Weile sometimes felt a little dazed. Could this outstanding young master be the same Tang Shaowu who needed her so much?

Tang Shaowu was listening to another manager's report when he glanced to the side. Then, ignoring everyone else around him, he grabbed Su Weile's hand and said, "What are you thinking about? I might be a little busy later. Should I have my secretary show you around, or do you want to wait for me in the office?"

Suddenly, it became so quiet that they could almost hear each other breathing. The manager, who had just been reporting, froze on the spot, unsure of what to do.

Su Weile blushed and pulled her hand away. She said firmly, "You go ahead and do your thing. I'm not a child anymore. I can find my own shows."

Tang Shaowu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back to the office at noon and have lunch together."

When the elevator reached the top floor, Tang Shaowu led Su Weile out first, while the others waited quietly for the two to leave before stepping out of the elevator together.
