Feng Chengyuan stared at Yu Nian with a complicated look in his eyes. After confirming that she wasn't joking, his expression turned somewhat peculiar.
He slowly got up and dialed the phone number of Yu Nian's attending physician.
The attending physician rushed to the scene soon. As soon as he entered the room, he sensed the strange atmosphere.
Feng Chengyuan motioned for him to come to one side. "How's her condition?"
"Just like yours, only minor scratches."
"Are you sure?" Feng Chengyuan stared at him suspiciously.
The attending doctor felt a bit unhappy. Could the president just randomly question his medical skills?
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Is there something wrong with her mind?"
...
After the attending physician swore with his life that Yu Nian was sober and normal, Feng Chengyuan felt confused for the first time in his life.
He Zhiping beside him quickly said, "Mr. Feng, don't mind. Our Yu Nian has been through a lot recently as an entertainer. She might have spoken without thinking. Please forgive her."
"An entertainer?" Feng Chengyuan was a bit surprised. Running an entertainment company, he was bound to know something about the entertainment circle. After thinking carefully, he realized that the name Yu Nian had indeed been on the hot search frequently in the past month, but all the news was useless negative stuff.
But one shouldn't judge without knowing the whole story.
No matter what Yu Nian had done before, he was saved by her. Their encounter had just begun, and he never cared about rumors.
He walked up to Yu Nian and said, "Anyway, thank you for saving me. I'm the president of Feng Group. If you want to continue your career in the entertainment circle, I'll provide you with the best agent to plan your route and spare no effort to promote you to the front line. If you have other requests, I'll also mobilize all my connections to help you. Here's a black card. There's no password. Use it first. You can contact me whenever you have anything.
I have a lot of things to deal with in the company. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
With his slender fingers, he handed the black card to Yu Nian, then turned around and left.
Yu Nian stared at the card for a while, then gave a playful smile.
He Zhiping finally came to his senses and said with a bit of disappointment, "When Mr. Feng asked you just now, why didn't you answer? So many people are desperate to get into Feng Group. He's willing to promote you. Why don't you seize this opportunity quickly?"
Yu Nian gave He Zhiping a lazy look. "At most by tomorrow night, he'll come back."
He Zhiping was stunned. "Why are you so sure?"
"Because he can't live without me. We're destined to be together."
After the contract was formed, although Feng Chengyuan could live like a normal person, in essence, he was no longer a human but a contract person.
The relationship between a contract person and the contract master was like that of a fish and water.
Water could still be water without a fish, at most just lacking some colorful hues.
But a fish would surely die without water.
He Zhiping was silent for a while and then started to habitually ignore Yu Nian's crazy words.
The two walked out of the rental house. He Zhiping looked a bit lost. "Yu Nian, where shall we go next?"
"It's not 'we', it's 'you and me'." Yu Nian yawned lazily. "Have you forgotten? I've already terminated the contract with your company. You're no longer my agent."
He Zhiping was stunned and then lowered his head a bit dejectedly.
"However, you can jump ship and follow me."
He Zhiping's eyes suddenly lit up but soon dimmed.
Although he was reluctant to part with Yu Nian as an artist, with his qualifications, he couldn't get into Feng Group, nor could he do much for Yu Nian's stardom. Moreover, he hadn't officially left his original company yet. They probably wouldn't let him go easily.
Thinking of this, He Zhiping took a deep breath, held back his tears, and said with a smile, "All good things must come to an end. Yu Nian, I'll go back to the company first. It's been a pleasant cooperation these years. Take good care of yourself."
Yu Nian looked at He Zhiping for a while and frowned slightly.
He Zhiping quickly hid his emotions and turned around to leave.
"We'll surely meet again somewhere. Trust me, we'll see each other soon."
Yu Nian's soft voice came from behind. He Zhiping was a very emotional person. He couldn't stand any comfort, especially when he was feeling wronged. His tears would just flow like a string of beads.
He suddenly turned around. "Yu Nian..."
But Yu Nian had already walked far away, leaving only a soft voice: "By the way, I'd advise you not to take a vehicle today. Just walk back."
He Zhiping: ???
After parting with Yu Nian, it was getting late. He Zhiping walked in a hurry towards the company.
There was a soft ringing sound. He quickly took out his phone. Seeing the name "Skinflint Zhou" in the contact, he let out a deep sigh.
He answered the phone, and a storm of scolding came. "He Zhiping! Do you still want to work? Absent from work without permission. Don't even think about getting this month's bonus!"
He Zhiping was on the verge of crying. "Boss, didn't you give me half a day off today to terminate the contract with Yu Nian?"
"Don't tell me that! I'll give you half an hour to come and see me. Otherwise, you can just get out like Yu Nian!"
Looking at the hung - up phone, He Zhiping felt extremely tired. Just then, it started to drizzle. He didn't know whether it was rain or tears sliding down his face.
"Sir, do you need a taxi?" A black taxi slowly stopped in front of He Zhiping. It was a bit dark inside the car. He Zhiping only noticed a mole on the driver's face.
He looked at his phone. There were less than 20 minutes left until the time Skinflint Zhou had set. Without thinking, he got into the car and reported the destination.
The rain outside was getting heavier. The car was driving in the rain, but He Zhiping didn't know why he was getting more and more panicked.
He took a light breath and felt there was an indescribable strange smell in the car, which made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Looking around, He Zhiping was sure that the smell was coming from the driver.
"I'd advise you not to take a vehicle today."
Yu Nian's voice suddenly floated in his mind. Along with the growing sense of uneasiness, He Zhiping suddenly shouted, "Stop the car! Stop the car quickly!"
The driver glanced at him through the rear - view mirror. He Zhiping felt cold all over. There was clearly no fog in the car, but he couldn't see the driver's face clearly.
"What's wrong, sir? We'll be there in ten minutes."
"I don't want to take this car anymore. Stop the car quickly. I'll pay you double!"
The driver gave He Zhiping a strange look and slowly stopped the car at a bus stop.
After He Zhiping paid the money, he scrambled out of the car. There were a few people waiting for the bus at the stop. He Zhiping felt a bit more at ease.
Watching the black taxi slowly drive away, he was a bit puzzled. Had he really been influenced by Yu Nian? Why was he starting to act so strangely?
He Zhiping stayed there for a while to calm down. Just as he was about to take another taxi to the company, several ambulances rushed by from the opposite direction.
"What's going on?" a passer - by asked.
Someone took out their phone and checked, then exclaimed, "There's been a car accident on the road ahead. It's on the social news."
"It seems to be a multi - car collision. The cause was that a taxi driver was driving under the influence. The other car owners only suffered minor injuries, but his car was completely deformed. He died on the spot."
He Zhiping's hands trembled. When the last ambulance passed by, he saw the person lying inside clearly. The body was horribly mutilated, but the big mole on the side of the face was clearly visible.
The driver's voice gradually emerged in his mind.
"Sir, do you need a taxi?"
...
He Zhiping never smoked, but at this moment, he asked a passer - by for a cigarette and tremblingly dialed Yu Nian's phone number.
