TRMP Chapter 106

Jiang Yifeng stayed at the KTV until Guan Shaodong sobered up.

After waking up, Guan Shaodong dazedly held his head, his clear eyes revealing a simple and pure foolishness.

“Why does my head hurt so much…”

He looked at the table full of beer, and then felt the soreness and pain all over his body and the hoarse, painful voice. He hadn’t even seen the people on both sides clearly when he shouted, “Did I lose my virginity?”

Jiang Yifeng: “…”

Manager: “…”

Jiang Yifeng threw a pillow at his head, and the manager next to him poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to Guan Shaodong.

“You howled about your first love all night, of course you’re hoarse.” The manager grumbled, “You drank more than a dozen bottles of beer by yourself. You’re lucky you didn’t get alcohol poisoning, otherwise the headlines tomorrow would be about you…”

As soon as Guan Shaodong heard “first love,” he immediately slumped against the sofa, his whole person dazed.

He held the lemonade to sober up, and wasn’t willing to speak.

“Want to catch Hu Zhaocheng in the act?” Jiang Yifeng raised an eyebrow and asked.

Guan Shaodong’s eyes widened instantly.

“You—” He pointed at Jiang Yifeng, unable to speak for a long time, his whole person Confused, as if he hadn’t expected Jiang Yifeng to know.

However, Guan Shaodong reacted immediately and nodded fiercely.

Guan Shaodong originally only said that there were many similar things in the entertainment industry, but when sexual bribery happened around him, Guan Shaodong felt a burst of anger suppressed in his chest.

Jiang Yifeng shook his phone, “Hu Zhaocheng has been contacting me recently. We can only catch him in the act of drugging. If you want to take him down, we can try.”

“No way.” Guan Shaodong immediately rejected Jiang Yifeng’s proposal.

He saw that Jiang Yifeng’s expression wasn’t very happy, and then frowned and added, “He’s been much more cautious recently. If you change your attitude directly, he’ll definitely notice something. Don’t… we haven’t found the evidence yet, and you’ll be caught.”

Guan Shaodong didn’t dare to risk Jiang Yifeng. Before he had complete certainty, Jiang Yifeng couldn’t casually deal with Hu Zhaocheng.

That bastard didn’t even look human, and he liked men.

Guan Shaodong felt terrified just thinking about it.

“Did you think I was an idiot?”

Jiang Yifeng raised an eyebrow.

Guan Shaodong: “…”

Jiang Yifeng flipped through the records of his contact with Hu Zhaocheng—the two of them hadn’t added private contact information, but there were various intermediaries helping to contact them. Luo Qi had received several invitations, and there were many miscellaneous invitations related to Xinghai Entertainment.

“I met with Gu Miao. Gu Miao told me that the two of them are truly in love, but he’s given up on himself because Gu Miao isn’t willing to admit their relationship in public.” Jiang Yifeng went through all the things in his mind, quickly sorting out the context of the whole thing: “The point he’s most concerned about is admitting their relationship in public.”

“The more homosexual relationships there are that don’t avoid suspicion, the more he’ll pay attention, and the more stimulated he’ll be.”

“I plan to attract his attention to me, so that he takes the initiative to come to me, rather than me passively going to him…”

Jiang Yifeng patted Guan Shaodong on the shoulder, “Can you find a bug, a locator, and a miniature camera?”

“Is the evidence filmed with that effective?”

“Then change it to a button-type camera, with video recording, audio recording, and immediate police reporting. We can’t lack any of them.”

Jiang Yifeng and Guan Shaodong sat in the KTV making a great plan, and after Guan Shaodong heard all the details, he only felt a surge of heroic feelings.

“Awesome, no wonder my brother told me not to mess with you.”

Guan Shaodong smiled foolishly, and the next second he took out his phone to have his brother also cooperate with their great plan. The first time the call was connected, Jiang Yifeng heard Guan Shaodong say cheerfully, “Brother, help me come out of the closet with Jiang Yifeng.”

Jiang Yifeng almost wanted to snatch the phone over.

Fortunately, Guan Yiqiang was a normal person. He asked very calmly on the other end of the phone, “Are you courting death?”

“It’s a publicity stunt. I’ve been filming recently, and the popularity hasn’t been declining a lot?” Guan Shaodong didn’t want Guan Yiqiang to worry, so he explained to Guan Yiqiang that he was using Jiang Yifeng to hype up his popularity and help sell some bromance.

Guan Yiqiang asked in shock, “If you want to hype up your popularity, don’t you have enough resources? Do you want me to call Chen Yong and have him get you a few more variety shows? Besides, does Jiang Yifeng know?”

“He knows.” Jiang Yifeng interjected next to the phone.

Guan Yiqiang was silent.

After a long time, he said blankly, “Do you want the kind of publicity that makes things dead, or the kind that leaves room for maneuver?”

“We need the kind that leaves room for maneuver, ambiguous, neither denying nor admitting it.” Jiang Yifeng prompted.

Perhaps because the two of them said it too solemnly, Guan Yiqiang finally agreed to their publicity stunt.

The two came out of the KTV together that day, followed by Guan Shaodong’s manager, Chen Yong, not far behind.

Passersby took pictures of the two of them together and posted them online, originally just to show off that they had met celebrities. However, that evening, that blog post was screenshotted by a marketing account, with the caption: [A little sweet~]

The fans of both sides were confused.

However, the fans of both sides quickly clarified under the blog post, and said that it was normal for good friends to sing K together.

In the evening, a bromance marketing account released a clarification short film co-produced by Jiang Yifeng and Guan Shaodong.

[How did I only see this short film now! Ahhh, it’s too good! Is there any food, let me eat!]

People under the marketing account responded immediately. Some people simply praised them for looking good, some people released food, and some people came forward to clarify as fans.

It’s just that the bromance marketing account didn’t make it to the hot searches, so it only affected a small number of people.

However, paparazzi took more and more pictures of the two of them going in and out together.

After the crew took a break, all the actors had extra time. Whether it was Jiang Yifeng or Guan Shaodong, they had to use a month’s vacation to shoot magazines or variety shows.

But the onlookers and the paparazzi who followed the shots could always find the two of them staying together. From time to time, someone would reveal that Jiang Yifeng went to visit Guan Shaodong and brought milk tea to the staff on the scene, or that Guan Shaodong went to visit Jiang Yifeng and brought desserts to the TV station staff.

The two of them had a lot of work, and it only took half a month for the blog posts of the two of them traveling together to make ten or eight hot searches.

The paparazzi had never photographed Jiang Yifeng’s partner, and even the station sisters and illegitimate children hadn’t been able to catch the figure of that sister-in-law.

However, the love partner that Jiang Yifeng personally admitted could not be faked.

After half a month of paving the way, a marketing account finally asked, “Is there a possibility that Jiang Yifeng’s so-called love partner refers to Guan Shaodong? They met half a year ago, and there were rumors of opening a room early on. Guan Shaodong took the initiative to lend his account to Jiang Yifeng to send a clarification video. They cooperated twice and stayed together during filming, and they were inseparable after filming… And according to the time, Guan Shaodong’s marketing team put in a lot of effort before and after Jiang Yifeng was cyberbullied. Does it mean that Jiang Yifeng’s so-called love partner is Guan Shaodong? In this way, Jiang Yifeng is really brave, and he dared to admit his love affair in public.”

The brief summary was followed by a long explanation and analysis.

As soon as the blog post came out, it was pushed to the hot search in a short time.

When Jiang Yifeng’s phone popped up with a reminder, he was sitting in the backstage of Guan Shaodong’s recording program, wearing headphones pretending to chat with people, but actually looking up and talking to Xie Jingshen.

“What?” Jiang Yifeng opened his phone and glanced at it, then immediately closed his phone.

However, Xie Jingshen still saw it.

Xie Jingshen raised his eyebrows, his eyes passed through the white frame and fell on Jiang Yifeng’s cheeks, with a probing and doubtful look.

Jiang Yifeng blushed and put away his phone, explaining softly to Jiang Yifeng, “The marketing account is posting randomly.”

“I know, aren’t you talking to me.” Xie Jingshen’s expression was gentle, falling on Jiang Yifeng’s cheeks, making Jiang Yifeng’s cheeks feel hot.

Jiang Yifeng didn’t tell Xie Jingshen that he was going to take risks to lure Hu Zhaocheng to come forward.

He was afraid that Xie Jingshen would worry.

Jiang Yifeng’s eyelashes trembled, he glanced at Xie Jingshen carefully, and then nervously withdrew his gaze.

“The recent new drama has a lot of cooperation with Guan Shaodong… Longli’s new perfume has been formulated, and I’ve handed over the company to him to manage. I plan to be a hands-off shopkeeper, just occasionally look at the accounts and wait to share the money.” Jiang Yifeng transferred the topic awkwardly, “I feel like I’m getting closer and closer. I don’t know when… I’ll be able to meet you.”

Jiang Yifeng gesticulated and talked to Xie Jingshen.

Xie Jingshen tapped on the table, he nodded, and leaned forward slightly: “I went on a business trip to a small city called Yan City the other day, and I also saw Chunlu Road there.”

After he finished speaking, he tilted his head and smiled slowly, “Next time I go to your place, we can choose the highest place… to see what’s different between the two Chunlu Roads.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yifeng nodded.

His phone vibrated, and when he looked at it again, he saw that Guan Shaodong had sent him a message.

Jiang Yifeng cut off his connection with Xie Jingshen and quickly went out the door. Guan Shaodong waved to him and leaned over excitedly, “Hu Zhaocheng is here to see me.”

After being rejected by Jiang Yifeng several times, Hu Zhaocheng actually took the initiative to find Guan Shaodong.

Jiang Yifeng knew that Hu Zhaocheng had been hooked.

“Can we close the net today…”

“Too fast, I’ve always had conflicts with Hu Zhaocheng. It’s impossible for him to fool me the first time.” Jiang Yifeng shook his head, “Don’t be too anxious, Hu Zhaocheng is not a fool.”

Hu Zhaocheng is just a playboy, not a fool.

Speaking of this, Guan Shaodong’s excitement gradually faded.

After the two discussed it, they went to the appointment together. Hu Zhaocheng did ask a lot of questions about the two of them, and kept hinting at Jiang Yifeng during the meal.

Jiang Yifeng pretended not to understand the whole time, which made Hu Zhaocheng very disappointed.

When leaving, Hu Zhaocheng looked at Jiang Yifeng and smiled, “Teacher Jiang, let’s meet again next time. I’ve asked Teacher Jiang so many times before, but Teacher Jiang didn’t come…”

“I’m just lazy, I don’t like going out.” Jiang Yifeng’s words sounded perfunctory, but Hu Zhaocheng couldn’t refute it, so he could only send the two of them out.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, they high-fived.

“We caught him.” Guan Shaodong sneered, “It won’t be long before that bastard is hooked.”

Jiang Yifeng was also very happy, and a kind of exciting emotion lingered in his chest, and it couldn’t be calmed for a long time.

The two thought that if they increased their efforts, Hu Zhaocheng could be hooked soon.

However, before Hu Zhaocheng was hooked, Jiang Yifeng received an invitation.

“An invitation to visit the film industrialization in Country A…?” Jiang Yifeng pointed at himself, his eyes widened.

“Yes.” Luo Qi was also very excited, “The Actors Association is paying for you to go and study… for a week.”
