RPAGF Chapter 160: Carrying out the deception to the end
Chapter 160: Carrying out the deception to the end
half a month later.
Ye Yan and Xu Qingran hadn't seen each other for another half a month. Ye Youcheng felt that he wouldn't be able to wait for them to reconcile for the time being, so he discussed with Qiu Yuan about going back to their hometown together.
Ye Yan did not try to keep them. After all, his work was piling up like a mountain. He had to deal with all kinds of dinners, interviews, fashion events, and the post-dubbing of "Chu Cheng".
Before leaving, Ye Youcheng told him, "Your parents made you suffer a lot when you were young. Now you can't bear to be wronged anymore. If you are unhappy, break up with him. If you can't bear to part with him, just give him some way out."
Isn't this nonsense, Ye Yan thought. Of course he couldn't bear to part with Xu Qingran, but he wouldn't give him any way out. After all, Xu Qingran could say to his mother "It's okay not to be serious" with a clear conscience. He couldn't accept it even if it was a white lie.
The hottest season of the year has arrived again. Now Ye Yan no longer has Assistant Xu who always holds a small fan waiting for him to rest. Instead, there are two people fanning him, one on the left and one on the right.
Ye Yan looked at Xiao Rui in confusion as to why he didn't use a fan. Xiao Rui reminded him that he had a headache and couldn't use a fan.
So that's how it is? No wonder the fan head became more and more stuffy and uncomfortable the more it blew. Now he knows the reason.
Sure enough, a female assistant is more considerate, but why, he still hopes that the person holding the fan is still there, so that he is not so afraid of headaches.
At the end of the month, Ye Yan was invited to attend the Tianyin Awards, one of the largest and highest-level music festivals in the Asia-Pacific region and one of the most prestigious awards in pop music, as an award presenter.
The person who invited him was the composer of the theme song of "Chu Cheng" and the chairman of the jury, a famous musician who fell in love with this genius at first sight after listening to his singing.
The ceremony was held in the largest art venue in the country, located on the third ring road of City A. The 9-seat venue had an occupancy rate of %. In addition to fans who came to follow the major idol groups and singers, half of them came for Ye Yan, the award presenter.
You have to know that Ye Yan is the only actor in the entire entertainment industry who is popular enough to grab a share of the idol circle.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, tens of thousands of fans outside the venue began to line up for ticket checking. Countless uniform cheering banners were hung with the images of super idols and talented singers who were extremely popular in the entertainment industry. Each of them was so handsome that it was almost unfair to say that they were beautiful.
There was no Ye Yan among these cheering flags. After all, he was just an award presenter and it was not appropriate for him to compete for the limelight in someone else's home turf.
However, the organizers still gave him the treatment that a top actor deserves. In the most conspicuous center position outside the museum is a huge poster of Ye Yan, firmly occupying the C position.
"The most popular idol in the Asia-Pacific region at this Tianyin Festival is Xuan Lin."
Ye Yan stood in a high-heeled outfit under the spotlights that looked like thousands of stars, facing the nearly 30,000 fans on three sides of the stage and the light boards in their hands as she announced the winner of the most anticipated award tonight.
The most popular idol, winning this award is equivalent to taking the position of the number one idol.
Well-deserved, the one who once recorded a reality show with Ye Yan, the ACE of the idol group popular in Asia, Xuan Lin.
The newcomer who bowed to him and called him senior backstage four years ago is now a shining star.
Xuan Lin took over the heavy trophy from Ye Yan amid the cheers of thousands of fans. The two smiled at each other. The moment their eyes met, Ye Yan whispered congratulations. The scene was captured by the camera of the fan in the front row and spread across the Internet.
Century on the same stage
"Mr. Xu, it's the chairman's wife calling."
In the VIP stand area, Qiao Lin handed the phone to Xu Qingran, who was in disguise.
He also came, wearing a windbreaker, a baseball cap and a mask, which was a big sacrifice in the midsummer season with a temperature of over 30 degrees.
Xu Qingran glanced at the phone screen, without any intention of answering, and looked back at the stage.
"I have something important to do tonight. I don't have time to argue with her. Bye."
Xu Qingran refused. His attention was all on the dazzling Ye Yan on the stage. It was obvious that Lin Anyi knew that he came to see Ye Yan again, so she called to interrogate him.
I have guts, Qiao Lin thought, smiled bitterly, took back the phone and hung up for Xu Qingran.
"Then when do we leave?" Qiao Lin asked again, as if Xu Qingran had another destination tonight.
"Half an hour later." The answer was concise and to the point. He didn't need to give details to Qiao Lin.
"Okay then, I'll go notify the helicopter standby."
There were roughly 30,000 people in the stadium, so there would be epic traffic jams coming and leaving. Xu Qingran didn't have the time or patience to compete with them for passage, so a helicopter was the best option.
Since Ye Yan was only there to present the awards, whether he wanted to watch the rest of the concert depended entirely on his mood. If he didn't want to watch, he could just leave after he got off the stage.
However, Xuan Lin invited him to attend the celebratory cocktail party held by the company for him after the meeting, which would last no more than an hour and a half, and leaving together after the meeting would be the best option.
He didn't know Xu Qingran had arrived. It was only when he returned to the lounge and saw Qiao Lin waiting inside that he realized something was wrong.
Seeing this, Tan Zhuoxi quickly ordered the bodyguard behind him to close the door.
He was extremely handsome tonight. Compared to his previous lazy and handsome look with medium-length hair, he now had a bit more heroic and wild look. When he looked at Qiao Lin, it was as if he saw Xu Qingran through him, which scared Qiao Lin so much that he trembled slightly.
"Assistant Qiao, is there anything wrong?"
It was too hot. Ye Yan took off his coat and threw it to Xiao Rui, then sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and drank water. It was clear from his attitude that he didn't like Qiao Lin, but he was forced to use polite words.
Young master, you have even implicated me... Qiao Lin thought, it's your own fault, I hope your manor can be of some use.
He still smiled flatteringly, "It's like this, Mr. Xu wants to see you. He's on the rooftop of the venue and wants you to go up and look at the night sky so we can have a good chat."
"What? Xu Qing... No, Mr. Xu is here?" Tan Zhuoxi asked in surprise.
It’s no wonder that he reacted so strongly. After all, these two have been in a cold war for a month or so, and there’s no sign of easing up. Did Xu Qingran finally lose patience and take action first?
He agreed with Xu Qingran's surrender. After all, Ye Yan had been in a bad mood and had a cold face for a long time. He really couldn't stand the cold violence of his own artist!
"Yes, he was just in the audience, but don't worry, no one will recognize him. He chose the rooftop specifically to avoid crowds. Our company is responsible for tonight's 5,000 drone show. Mr. Xu didn't want to come when he was invited, but when he heard Xiaoyan was here, he decided to come and meet you. Why don't you go up now while everyone is still in the audience?"
Xu Qingran actually came to see him, and Ye Yan felt very complicated.
So he knows that everything he did was for himself and not for me, Ye Yan thought, why not give him another chance to reflect.
After all, I love him so much.
Ye Yan was not relieved. That was why he hoped that Xu Qingran would understand where he was wrong, otherwise he would continue to be unhappy.
He didn't want to suffer the pain of love, so he could only listen to whether Xu Qingran's reason for coming to see him was an awakening.
He stood up, signaled the staff not to follow him, and then followed Qiao Lin out of the lounge and onto the rooftop.
That place is not open to the public, but Xu Qingran has a privilege tonight, as 5000 drones are there right now.
The drone show will not start until the concert at 9 o'clock. At night, only technicians are still doing the final inspection on the rooftop that stretches as far as the eye can see. Xu Qingran is their boss, so they will automatically learn to be blind.
When Ye Yan stepped onto the rooftop, the hot air finally felt a little cooler, and the next thing that came into his sight was a large helicopter parked on the helipad in the middle of the rooftop.
"Come up, we'll be watching the drone show from a helicopter later. It's even more stunning than from a distance."
Xu Qingran invited with a smile while sitting in the helicopter.
Finally, he met the person he missed and cursed every day. If Ye Yan didn't have strong self-control, he would have forgiven him today.
He sneered, "Don't use your pick-up girl tactics on me. If you want to be romantic, do your parents agree?"
When talking about his parents, Xu Qingran almost couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He felt that Ye Yan must have treated him as a child who dared not disobey his parents, and this sentence choked him to the point of being breathless.
Seeing that Ye Yan had no intention of going up, Xu Qingran simply took a deep breath, jumped off the helicopter and walked towards him.
Ye Yan thought he was about to get a reply from Xu Qingran, but he still looked away with disdain.
What happened next was beyond his expectations. As soon as Xu Qingran approached him, he suddenly picked him up.
"What are you doing? Put me down."
Ye Yan exclaimed, and the next second Xu Qingran hugged him and turned to walk towards the helicopter in the night wind.
Seeing him using force, Ye Yan was very unhappy and struggled to hit his shoulders.
"Put it down, didn't you hear me?! Xu Qingran!"
The technicians who were checking the drones around all turned around wisely; they saw nothing.
Ye Yan was quite strong. Just when he was struggling to break free from Xu Qingran's arms, Xu Qingran suddenly loosened one hand, hugged his thighs the moment Ye Yan's legs fell, and lifted Ye Yan up on his shoulders with a neat lift.
At that moment, Ye Yan froze briefly. He had never known that Xu Qingran was so strong. It was true that athletes should not be underestimated.
Xu Qingran stuffed him into the helicopter, and his subordinates outside immediately closed the cabin door. There were only the two of them and the two pilots in the plane. Ye Yan was still unclear about Xu Qingran's intentions, and after trying to open the cabin door without success, he started cursing.
"Are you crazy? I told you I don't want to see any drones. I'm here to talk to you about something, not to see the scenery!"
"If you don't like it, then don't watch it. It's not like that anyway. Let's go and I'll take you to see what you like."
Xu Qingran said lightly, and after giving the order, he fastened Ye Yan's seat belt forcefully and gently.
Ye Yan didn't understand what he meant until the huge fan blades began to rotate and the plane slowly rose into the air and moved farther and farther away from the roof.
"What do you mean? It's not like that?" Ye Yan asked subconsciously, thinking, if I'm not going to see it, why did he set off? Where is he taking me...
Xu Qingran turned to look at him, pursed his lips, and a playful look that only a pure young man could have gradually appeared on his face. He seemed to be back to two years ago.
"Didn't I tell you before that I'd take you to see a surprise gift when I'm free? I've been preparing it for almost a year, and I have to take you to see it. You're sure to like it."
Ye Yan was dumbfounded. He had been deceived by Xu Qingran again. He was not here to discuss business at all.
