Chapter 470: Going Back
In the end, Yu Linna still went back. She had no better way, nor did she have anything else she could do. The only thing she could do was to take this as a lesson and look for another opportunity. Indeed, she was not smart enough. If she had been a little more shrewd, a little more cautious, perhaps she could have perfectly resolved this matter.
But it was hard to say. After all, her opponent was Chenghe, the Chenghe that could cover the sky with one hand. Even if she had chosen to call the police, there was no guarantee that there were no people from Chenghe in the police station.
…
At the same time.
Ye Zhiyun was working hard on filming her movie. She had made up her mind this time. As soon as the movie was finished, she would prepare for the filming of a TV series. The scriptwriting work was handed over to Wen Yajun. At present, the movie she was filming was I Just Want to Be With You. It was a story about a sweet love, and Ye Zhiyun was also quite happy filming it.
Besides that, she would receive a bouquet of flowers at the company every two days, which was also a pleasure outside of her work.
It was just that the flourishing development of her career did not mean that her love life was smooth sailing. Of course, for her, this was just in the past.
The matter of her dating Yu Linna was only known to a few people in the company, all of whom were very close to her. After all, in this era, it was not a rational thing to rashly announce that you were coming out. Many people probably also knew what the consequences of doing so would be.
The company’s producer, Jian Luo, was a woman over 30 years old. Her career was successful, and her work was also very smooth. After joining this company, she had been working hard for it. She was a rationalist and believed in stability and security.
This day, after work, she came to Ye Zhiyun’s office.
“Zhiyun.”
“Sister Luo? You’re here. Sit down. I’ll talk to you after I’ve looked at the documents for a while.”
“Mmm.”
Jian Luo was very patient. She sat on the sofa, waiting for Ye Zhiyun.
Ye Zhiyun first dealt with the work at hand, and then made tea for Jian Luo and brought out some tea snacks. Although the two of them were from the same company, their private relationship was alright. Jian Luo had also received Ye Zhiyun’s father’s help before. A large part of the reason she had joined this company was out of a sense of obligation.
When Ye Zhiyun had first rented the company’s building, it was Jian Luo who had helped.
“Zhiyun, I’m just going to say something that has nothing to do with work. You can just listen, and you can also pretend I didn’t say it.”
When Jian Luo said this, Ye Zhiyun, on the contrary, felt that this matter was not so simple. For her to be able to show such an attitude, it meant that the matter was indeed a bit big.
“You, although I don’t have much right to say anything about your private life, you still have to think it through.”
She said.
From the moment she had spoken like this, Ye Zhiyun had understood what the other party wanted to say. It was nothing more than having an opinion on her feelings.
“You are still young, and your future is important. I don’t plan to interfere with your choice, but you have to know that when the day comes when it is exposed, it will be the time when we are most passive.”
“I understand what you mean, Sister Luo. You just want to tell me to give up being with her, right?”
“I didn’t say that. But the company is not yours alone. The entertainment industry is also a very complicated place. I’m worried that she will affect your work. You’ve just become a director, have no experience, and no seniority. To have such a big story dug up at this time is definitely not a good thing for you.”
“On what grounds do you have to say anything about my choice?”
Ye Zhiyun was also a little angry.
Her being with Yu Linna was purely her own will. Why should others interfere with her choice? No matter what the reason was, this was a very annoying thing.
Jian Luo was not in a hurry, nor was she angry, just sitting there.
“It’s fine to be in a relationship. I haven’t objected. You can have an underground relationship. If you don’t bring it to the surface, I will definitely not say anything about you.”
Ye Zhiyun clenched her fists on her knees. She could clearly feel the temperature in the room dropping. Although the heat was on, it felt a little cold.
“Zhiyun, don’t you think we are all fools? You see for yourself, what is this?”
She threw a newspaper in front of her. This was the headline of an entertainment weekly. Among them, Ye Zhiyun, when she was outside alone, had been captured on camera and had made the headlines. Among them, the ring that Ye Zhiyun was wearing on her hand had become the focus of people’s attention.
It was very obvious that the position of the ring she was wearing and the style of the ring were telling people at all times that this was a couple’s ring. This was also telling people that Ye Zhiyun was in a relationship.
Because of this report, the rumor that Ye Zhiyun had been having an affair with Zhu Yiqian, who was often in the entertainment industry with lesbian scandals, had been broken. After that, everyone was hotly discussing who Ye Zhiyun’s partner was. In this era of entertainment to death, many people were concerned about the private lives of these stars.
That day, Ye Zhiyun had just been separated from Yu Linna. If she had been captured on camera with Yu Linna that day, the consequences would have been even more serious.
“Next time, if this kind of thing happens again, our public relations department won’t be able to save you. You are also an adult. You should have your own ideas. I’m telling you, it’s fine to be in a relationship, but please understand that we cannot bear your willfulness.”
Jian Luo’s face was stern, her tone quite serious.
Ye Zhiyun was not alone. Her actions would affect everything in the company. Even if she was not a big star, after this period of gossip with big stars, she had also slowly accumulated a certain amount of traffic. Although she was hotly discussed by people for only riding on the heat, she did indeed have traffic.
To have her relationship with Yu Linna exposed at this time, the consequences would be fatal.
“This is my private life. Why do I have to consider you irrelevant people? Are you my dad or my mom? On what grounds can you decide my choice? Can’t I just have my own life?”
Ye Zhiyun had said what she had always wanted to say.
But Jian Luo did not fall for her trick.
“You think about it yourself. I will not say it a second time. I will only say this kind of thing once.”
After she had left, Ye Zhiyun sat alone in her office and began to be at a loss.
She still wanted to be with Yu Linna, still wanted to continue to develop. She did not want to end it like this. No matter what the other party said, she would insist on being with her. Yes, no matter what…
Ye Zhiyun held her head. This day, she had locked herself up.
…
After leaving Chenghe, Yu Linna had wandered alone on the street, not knowing where to go. She had already called Fang Jiangning, saying that she had come out of Chenghe and telling her not to worry.
She took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo, and found that Ye Zhiyun’s news was on the hot search. Once upon a time, Ye Zhiyun was just an unknown little person, or rather, she only belonged to a large family and rarely entered the public eye. Now she slowly also had traffic. She just hoped that her work would get better and better. She had given the other party a script. She hoped that Zhiyun could film it well.
That was her only wish.
She had fallen in love with Ye Zhiyun. No matter who pursued her, or who had a crush on her, she had never been moved. Just because her heart had only been given to Ye Zhiyun.
Suddenly, a light rain began to fall. Yu Linna did not have an umbrella. She hid in a convenience store to take shelter from the rain. Although the rain outside was not heavy, it was not small either. Yu Linna was a little bored sitting in the convenience store. She slowly waited for the rain to stop.
Not long after, Fang Jiangning walked in with an umbrella. Seeing Yu Linna, who was taking shelter from the rain in the shop, she couldn’t help but sigh.
“I’ve told you so many times. It might rain today. You should bring an umbrella when you go out.”
“I’s sorry. I completely forgot.”
“Forget it. Anyway, I’m here. Do you want to buy some snacks?”
“Okay.”
Fang Jiangning bought some things in the convenience store, bought a bottle of drink for Yu Linna, and sat down to chat with her. The two of them talked about some things about Chenghe, and Fang Jiangning also slowly learned about some of the things inside.
“I see. That’s a really formidable opponent. After all, think about it. That’s Chenghe. In the whole country, it’s considered a very famous big company. It’s even been called the Hollywood of China.”
“For such a company to have survived until now is really unthinkable.”
Their voices were very low, trying their best not to let the people inside hear. This kind of content, this kind of news, was something that outsiders could not know.
“Linna, you’ve signed with Chenghe before, right? Although you’ve never been willing to tell me, I think it has something to do with Nangong Ying, right?”
“…”
“Do you still remember? In your third year of high school, you disappeared for a period of time. I didn’t know where you had gone. I only knew that one day you suddenly came back.”
Yu Linna was silent for a long time. She also knew that Fang Jiangning was asking her about what had happened back then.
This matter had happened almost three years ago. Some things could be forgotten, but some things could never be forgotten. For example, the harm that Nangong Ying had once brought to her, or the unspoken rules that Chenghe had once wanted to do to her. These things she had never said out loud.
“Let’s talk on the way back.”
Yu Linna said.
…
On the road, the two girls, sharing an umbrella, were chatting about some stories that no one knew. Fang Jiangning’s face became more and more grim, until in the end, she even showed a particularly angry expression.
“This is really too much! Is this something a human would do!”
Her reaction was also within expectations.
These words, Yu Linna had not said to anyone other than Ye Zhiyun. After all, this was not something to be proud of. But after holding it in, two or three years had passed. In the end, she still had to face it.
“It’s all in the past. I have nothing more to say. I don’t resent anyone. I just regret why I was so foolish back then, having a daydream, thinking I could live a life of luxury and indulgence. In the end, at that time, I was too poor and wanted to escape poverty at the first opportunity. I rushed into the entertainment industry for the sake of money. But Chenghe taught me a lesson. If I had entered the entertainment industry back then, perhaps Yu Linna would not have been as steady as she is now. She might have become a second Nangong Ying.”
It had really been too long, almost three years.
In the blink of an eye, her story had had too many things happen in these few short years, and her life had also changed overnight. The person who couldn’t even afford a meal a few years ago was now living a much more comfortable life than anyone else. Her current fame in the country was not just a little. Even in Japan, it was very great.
She was a bona fide big star. This was not a lie. It was just that she had basically not taken on any commercial endorsements.
The cars on the road moved slowly forward. On the rainy road, the colorful umbrellas moved in a regular pattern. The two of them crossed the crosswalk at the red light. She looked up, wanting to say something, and found that she had almost said everything.
