Chapter 148: Get Out

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everyone recalled the scene of Lin Xi applying medicine on Chen Che in front of the audience and the misunderstanding between the two of them.

However, now that they seemed to have resolved the misunderstanding, their relationship became more harmonious.

Everyone was puzzled as to why Luo Heng’s attitude would change so quickly.

Luo Heng spread his hands, his tone slightly helpless. “Sister Mi once communicated with me privately, hoping that I could take care of Little Xi and interact more during the show. But this involves personal relationships, and the company still has to have the final say. But it’s obvious that the company hasn’t settled the matter…”

Luo Heng paused for a moment and could not help but laugh. “Unexpectedly, I had a good relationship with the two of them, but I realized that they seemed to be conflicted.”

Zhao Chao interrupted, “Actually, it can’t be said to be completely unrelated. Previously, Shen Hong and Fu Ziqing were partners. After Fu Ziqing gave birth, Little Xi joined. There can’t be a vacancy. It’s either you or Chen Che. If you don’t agree, Chen Che will naturally take over.”

Qin Feng frowned and said, “Is Little Xi a little indignant? Her manager is always targeting Chen Che.”

Shen Hong sneered and said, “It’s about time. No matter how overboard it is, we have to make our stand clear. This is not a matter of who we’re helping, but Chen Che is indeed talented and the plot is well designed. The director is satisfied and gave us more room to perform. Her agent looks down on one and curry favor with another. There are really enough scenes.”

Chu Feiyun smiled and said, “Her presence is too strong. She’s even stronger than Little Xi.”

Jin Song also expressed his opinion. “There’s no choice. Little Xi is still a newcomer after all. She has to listen to the company and manager’s arrangements. Unlike us, who have our own studio or have been in the industry for a long time, no one will care so much.”

Zhao Chao continued, “Wasn’t my situation the same?”

He looked at everyone and continued, “Actually, Chen Che has already changed a lot. In the past, he wouldn’t tolerate a small manager pointing fingers at him. He’s already very magnanimous to be able to endure until now. In addition, I really believe that the director will definitely look for him. Look at how good the plot he designed is. It’s obvious that the effect, fun, and plot lines are stronger.”

Qin Feng nodded. “1 didn’t expect this either. His variety sense, ability to build momentum, and ability to stir up trouble are all very outstanding.”

Qin Feng suddenly laughed and looked at Zhao Chao. “So you’re so good to Chen Che because you want to nurture a successor.”

Zhao Chao smiled knowingly and turned to ask Luo Heng, “Little Luo, are you interested?”

Luo Heng shook his head. “I’ve already reached my limit. I can’t jump ship to another company. It’s about my image.”

Luo Heng said thoughtfully, “This is even better. I actually feel that it’s more lively now. With Chen Che, we can perform more comfortably.”

Shen Hong glanced behind and suddenly said, “Speaking of which, do you think there’s something fishy about the two behind?”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they laughed, but they did not say anything.

The car was about to reach the hotel, so the topic naturally came to an end.

Everyone was tired today. They had indeed been tortured by Chen Che and the director. Perhaps their down time was only slightly better than Chen Che’s.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

When the car returned to the hotel, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

The next episode would be filmed the day after tomorrow. They would go to Yi City and needed some time to prepare.

Chen Che still had to go to the capital.

Chu Zhengfei’s assistant had already sent a message to inform her of the time. Fortunately, it was a red-eye flight. After sending her off, she could still come back to film the second episode. It would not be delayed.

Chen Che returned to his room and took a shower first.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The wound should not have touched water, but who did not want to take a shower?

It was like eating. There was an ulcer in your mouth. One can try not to touch it, but who wouldn’t eat?

Hence, Chen Che tried his best to wash his front. He quickly rinsed him back and he tried his best to avoid the wound, but the pain was still unbearable.

Especially when the medicine was washed away.

Bathing was supposed to be enjoyable, but now he hoped it would end quickly.

Not long after, Chen Che came out of the bath.

Looking in the mirror, he saw the scars on his back.

The wound was washed open. Although blood was seeping out, it was not as serious as in the morning.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Che thought to himself, I’ll ask Brother Chao and Brother Li for help.

Knock knock!

The knock on the door broke the silence. Chen Che’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Brother Chao was visiting?

He stepped forward to open the door. Just as he turned the doorknob, he heard a loud cry.

A figure darted in like a cheetah and collided with Chen Che’s chest.

Chen Che staggered and suddenly sat on the ground.

He looked up with a sharp gaze and saw Lin Xi looking back at the raised carpet with a frown.

“Aren’t you opening the door?”

Chen Che rubbed his chest and complained, “My chest is now flat from cushioning your fall!”

Clearly, Lin Xi had lost her balance and bumped into Chen Che.

She rubbed her chest and couldn’t help but say, “Shouldn’t I be the one saying that?”

Chen Che was stunned and subconsciously stood up. “What are you doing?”

Lin Xi clutched her chest and avoided his gaze.

The corners of Chen Che’s mouth curled up slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes. “Why are you here?”

Lin Xi held her pocket and sat at the side. “I’ll apply the medicine for you.”

Chen Che sighed softly. “Didn’t I say that I don’t need you in private?”

Lin Xi looked at the door and said calmly, “That’s why I didn’t come myself.”

Chen Che looked at the door. Sure enough, Brother Liu followed him in with an expression as if he owed him money.

Chen Che hesitated. “There’s… no need. Brother Chao will come over later…”

Lin Xi placed the bag aside. “Since you’re here, why bother Brother Chao to come personally?”

Chen Che looked at the bag and glanced at the medicine bottle on his side. “Strange, I have one here too.”

Lin Xi took the bag from Brother Liu’s hand. “Yours is for internal consumption. The ointment is with me.”

Chen Che nodded. “You even know how to make deductions? In order to make it easier for us to meet next time, you specially left a lead.”

Lin Xi stared at Chen Che with burning eyes but did not answer immediately.

“You?” Brother Liu sneered. “You still…”

“Enough!” Chen Che waved his hand and interrupted, his gaze like a sword. “I don’t want to, and there’s no need to listen to your nonsense in my own territory!”

Chen Che pointed at the door disdainfully and looked at Brother Liu coldly. “On my territory, I have the right to say to you… Get lost.”

Brother Liu’s expression was terrifyingly dark. Every time he met Chen Che, his face seemed to be covered in dark clouds.

“That’s enough. Stop arguing.”

Lin Xi rubbed her temples helplessly and said with a bitter smile, “Why do you keep arguing the moment you meet?”

Chen Che widened his eyes and looked at Lin Xi in surprise. “Are you trying to forcefully turn the class struggle into an internal conflict? Are the two of us arguing?”

Brother Liu glared at Lin Xi angrily. “I told you not to come. See for yourself now!”

With that, he turned around. “Go back!”

Lin Xi didn’t move. She looked at Brother Liu. “Go and call Brother Chao over.”

“Lin Xi!”

Brother Liu’s tone became abnormally stern. Clearly, when Lin Xi could come over just now, Brother Liu actually followed. It was only after an intense battle that they reached a consensus, and this delicate balance was easily broken by Chen Che.

However, Chen Che crossed his legs leisurely. He did not care about this matter. He even hoped that she would leave with Brother Liu because he realized that the so-called self-destructive image of keeping a distance was actually useless in front of Lin Xi..
