Chen Xiu summed it up in one word, humiliating.
Being a famous celebrity looked bright on the surface, but it was a sad reality behind the scenes. Although there were fans who supported their stars, the public opinion on the Internet was enough to make people sulk at home.
In the past two days, Chen Xiu’s mood had been terrible. Taking advantage of his free day, he went out alone to drink.
By the way, being a star, he couldn’t go to a nightclub or bar. Chen Xiu’s public image couldn’t be destroyed. Hence, he had to settle for the hotel’s bar.
Unexpectedly, when he went to the hotel, Chen Xiu met Chen Shu again.
Chen Shu didn’t come by himself. There was another person next to him. If he was right, he was the President of Guanghe Film Company, President Niu.
Chen Xiu really wanted to curse in his heart. He and President Niu’s company had collaborated in one film only, and the future cooperation had never been discussed.
But accompanying his little uncle, President Niu actually smiled at him? The two were chatting happily, and the atmosphere between them was very harmonious.
He almost suspected that Chen Shu was really the President of Huarui. But when Chen Shu looked left and right, he didn’t have the aura of a wealthy billionaire.
Chen Xiu watched his little uncle and President Niu enter the elevator. The elevator was empty, and there was no one inside.
People would become shameless in front of benefits. Chen Xiu rushed forward with a giant step and pressed the elevator button with a bang. The closing elevator door slowly reopened.
After hesitating for a while, he walked into the elevator. “President Niu?”
How did a person suddenly appear before them in such a friendly manner? The two people in the elevator looked at Chen Xiu in unison.
Being someone nominated for the best actor in a TV series did suit him. Chen Xiu’s expression was genuine, astonished, and contained with surprise.
Chen Shu wanted to laugh. The corners of his mouth were pressed into a straight line, and then he looked away. President Niu’s attitude was polite but alienated. “Long time no see.”
“I was just passing by.” Chen Xiu looked at President. Niu, then glanced at Chen Shu and said, “This is?”
Chen Shu: “.……”
President Niu and Chen Shu looked at each other. President Ni did not disclose Chen Shu’s identity, though. “He is my friend.”
As soon as he heard the answer, Chen Xiu’s mind suddenly flashed with many ideas. Friend? Could it be that Chen Shu had recently cooperated with President Niu to invest in a film company?
It might be because he had performed too many plays over the years. In Chen Xiu’s mind, he imagined his little uncle as a two-faced person who was a big boss behind the scenes with schemes.
If Ye Sui heard Chen Xiu’s inner thoughts, she would strongly vomit. Chen Shu was such a gentle person; how could he be two-faced with a scheming mind?
Chen Xiu’s silly thoughts could almost be turned into a book.
Chen Shu turned his head to meet Chen Xiu’s gaze and smiled thoughtfully, as if saying to him, don’t guess, you won’t know the truth.
Chen Xiu looked at President Niu and wanted to say something. “Are Mr. Niu and him here for dinner?”
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Xiu casually. His expression was indifferent, and he didn’t say much.
President Niu spoke very cooperatively, interrupting Chen Xiu’s plan with a simple sentence. “It is not working time. My friend and I are discussing some personal matters. We’ll leave first.”
His meaning was clear: he shouldn’t bother them anymore.
Chen Xiu’s smiling mouth stiffened a bit. “I just came to find someone, so I won’t disturb you guys.”
Chen Xiu casually pressed a button. The elevator door opened, but he didn’t know where he was, so he went out directly, putting on a mask and a hat. His face was gloomy, though.
The cleaner, who had just cleaned a room, saw a man standing here uncomfortably, his entire face covered.
The cleaner said in a cold tone, “I’m sorry, sir. Which room do you belong to?”
Chen Xiu was so angry that he got into another elevator. He didn’t even eat any food, turned around, and left.
For so many years, everyone felt that only Chen Xiu in the Chen family could inherit the company. Relying on this, he did not learn to manage the business by heart but entered the entertainment circle to make a big splash.
The Chen family had good genes and excellent facial features, not to mention that he had his family’s support. Thus, his entertainment career was a booming one.
This might be because the Chen family had acquiesced Chen Xiu being the heir. They had valued Chen Xiu since childhood. Even though Chenhe grew up to become a star, Chen Shi never controlled him.
That was until now. Chen Xiu finally began to panic.
Chen Shu was different now from the past. Not only had he achieved something in his career, but he might also have a broader and deeper network.
If Chen Shu wanted the Chen Group, what opportunity would he have?
