Seeing Su Lingwei hesitate, Gu Feiyang added, “We’ve been friends for so many years, I’m just giving you this little bag. If you don’t accept it, it would be like you don’t consider me a friend.”
Since Gu Feiyang had put it this way, Su Lingwei couldn’t easily refuse. She could only accept the bag, thinking about giving Gu Feiyang a gift in return.
The two of them left the “Eternal Love” jewelry store and walked around the pedestrian street. Gu Feiyang finally sent Su Lingwei back to her luxurious apartment at the Su Lingwei Imperial Court.
Soft music played in the car, and the lights from the roadside streamed into the cabin through the windows.
Su Lingwei sat quietly in the passenger seat, listening to the female singer’s ethereal voice singing about a poignant love.
Before long, Gu Feiyang drove the car to the entrance of the Emperor Court Apartments. “We’re here,” he said.
“Thank you for today,” Su Lingwei said, taking her bag and preparing to get out of the car.
“Wei Wei.” Just as Su Lingwei was about to step out of the car, Gu Feiyang looked at her slender figure and couldn’t help but call out to her.
This time, Su Lingwei heard him clearly.
She stopped, turned around to face Gu Feiyang, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
Her voice, like a gentle breeze in the quiet night, asked, “What’s wrong?”
Gu Feiyang got out of the car and, standing at a distance, looked at Su Lingwei under the streetlight.
He couldn’t help but think of the lively girl from a few years ago.
Despite the passage of time, she remained the same in his memory, a girl he wanted to protect and cherish.
“Wei Wei, I wanted to say…”
Suddenly, a hurried ringtone from his phone interrupted Gu Feiyang’s words.
“I’m sorry, I need to take this call,” Su Lingwei said, seeing that it was Zhang Mingen calling.
Usually, at this late hour, there wouldn’t be anything urgent. Su Lingwei had an inexplicable bad feeling and subconsciously answered the phone.
As expected, Zhang Mingen’s voice sounded urgent, “President Su, Ding Yiming is in trouble.”
In an instant, Su Lingwei thought of Ding Yiming’s thin, fair face. He was currently a well-known male artist in Jiahe Entertainment.
With Jiahe Entertainment’s poor performance in recent years, either the male artists had problems or they left.
He was currently the only one in Jiahe Entertainment who could be considered a star.
He was currently starring in Jiahe Entertainment’s heavily invested costume drama ‘In the Name of the King’, playing the male lead role. If something happened to him, it would have a big impact.
“What happened to Ding Yiming?” Su Lingwei asked hurriedly.
Zhang Mingen quickly replied, “He was reported for drug abuse and has been arrested.”
“What?” Su Lingwei’s mind buzzed.
She had thought that Ding Yiming might have been injured while filming, or had a fight with someone, or some past scandal had been dug up, or perhaps he had a car accident on the road, but she had never thought he would be arrested for this reason.
There was no such thing in her past life.
Su Lingwei tried to recall her memories from her past life, but she had no impression of this event at all. It was as if the story was not following the original script, completely deviating from the original plot.
If Su Lingwei had known earlier that Ding Yiming would take this path, she would have removed him from the crew and sent him to do something else on the first day she took over the company, instead of letting this happen.
Illegal activities should not be tolerated!
Not only did it harm oneself, but it was also a matter of great harm to fans and society.
Ding Yiming is really in trouble this time.
However, it would be better if he didn’t become famous through this kind of method.
It would be best if he had never entered the entertainment industry or been an artist.
But now is not the time to consider these things.
They need to find a way to solve this matter.
Someone has already leaked the information online, although they haven’t explicitly said who it is yet.
However, some clever and well-informed netizens have guessed.
Once the news spreads, it will definitely be unstoppable.
Various possible situations quickly flashed through Su Lingwei’s mind.
She told herself not to panic now.
No matter how bad Ding Yiming’s situation is, it’s not as bad as when Jiahe Entertainment collapsed in her past life.
“Assistant Zhang, I’m going back to the company right now. Call all the people in charge of publicity and public relations.” Su Lingwei prepared actively to deal with the situation.
There is a tough battle to be fought tonight.
After finishing her instructions with Zhang Mingen, Su Lingwei hung up the phone and prepared to return to the company.
When she turned around, she saw Gu Feiyang still standing beside the car, realizing that he hadn’t finished speaking earlier.
“What did you want to tell me just now?” Su Lingwei asked Gu Feiyang, looking serious.
Gu Feiyang had already heard the contents of Su Lingwei’s phone call just now.
Considering that her mind was now focused on the company’s affairs, it was not quite the right time to say those words to her.
He decided to find another opportunity to talk to her later, and quickly made a decision in his mind.
“I just wanted to say goodbye to you.” Gu Feiyang casually found an excuse to cover up what he wanted to say and then asked Su Lingwei, “Is there something wrong with the company? You seem quite anxious.”
Now that Gu Feiyang has invested in Jiahe Entertainment, he is also considered part of Jiahe Entertainment.
Su Lingwei didn’t hide anything from him and briefly mentioned Ding Yiming’s drug use and arrest. “His situation is impacting us negatively. We need to handle it immediately. I have to go back to the company now.”
Gu Feiyang hurriedly said, “I’ll take you back to the company.”
Su Lingwei nodded and got back into the car. “Thank you.”
As Gu Feiyang started the car, he comforted Su Lingwei, “There’s no trouble at all. I’m an investor in Jiahe Entertainment.
If something happens to Jiahe Entertainment’s artists, it concerns me too. It’s best to handle things quickly, but don’t worry too much.”
Su Lingwei calculated the plan in her mind, and Gu Feiyang also gave her some advice on the way.
“Ding Yiming can’t be saved like this. What he did is illegal. The company should calmly terminate his contract. As for the TV series he’s filming, they’ll have to delete all his scenes and reshoot with someone else. Otherwise, the whole show will be shelved and never aired.”
Su Lingwei understood these principles.
No matter how regrettable it is, at critical moments, choices must be made.
Ding Yiming didn’t make an ordinary mistake, and there’s no way to save him. That’s just the way it is, she can only give him up.
Gu Feiyang dropped Su Lingwei off at Jiahe Entertainment. When they arrived at the building, Su Lingwei got out of the car, and Gu Feiyang followed suit.
“I’ll go up with you. I’m also a part of Jiahe Entertainment now,” Gu Feiyang said to Su Lingwei, catching up with her as they took the elevator up together.
