"It's about to go live, and you're telling me you're not coming?!” Director Wang roared into the phone.
The stagehands, holding microphones and cameras, stood beside the director, watching the furious Director Wang, not daring to say a word. Everyone looked tense and nervous, wishing they could bury their heads in their arms.
"If you don't come now, you're not coming back ever! Don't think this show can't run without you!” Director Wang hung up the phone, his anger burning. He hung up with such force that he could have crushed the smartphone in his hand.
The assistant director nervously watched the enraged Director Wang and cautiously asked, "Old Wang, the broadcast is about to go live online, and we're missing a guest. What do we do?"
“What do we do? What do we do? You only know how to ask what to do. I have no idea what to do,” Director Wang irritably grabbed his thinning hair and shouted.
Director Wang was furious. He had a signed contract, the show was about to go live in a few minutes, and where was he going to find someone to replace him? Suddenly saying they weren’t coming, not coming at all. Did they think they were a big star, pulling rank everywhere?
Just an 18th-tier nobody, hooked up with a sugar daddy, and they dared to pull rank on his reality show.
Director Wang's chest was heaving with anger. He accidentally caught sight of a stagehand who was working as an assistant next to the executive director.
“Hey, you. You, you, you, yes, you.” The director pointed at the stagehand wearing a mask.
“Come over, come over.”
Jiang Yu, wearing a mask, was in a daze, his fine black hair covering his confused eyes.
This…...?
He remembered.
Hearing Director Wang call him over, he finally remembered. He was in a world called “The President’s Shadow Emperor Boyfriend.”
The president’s name was Jiang Yi. At just fifteen years old, he had taken over his family’s company. In just five years, he had expanded the company from domestic to international, making it one of the top 100 enterprises in the country.
Now, at only twenty, Jiang Yi was considered the golden bachelor in the circle. Countless men and women wanted to be with him, even for just one night.
Jiang Yi was handsome, with a commanding presence, and a vast fortune. Everyone in the circle was very optimistic about him, but Jiang Yi ignored all these men and women, instead, he kept an 18th-tier star named Xiao Min as his sugar baby.
Jiang Yi poured countless resources and money into Xiao Min’s development in the entertainment industry, backing him up and paying penalties when Xiao Min acted like a diva. Jiang Yi spoiled Xiao Min to the point where he was uncontrollable, so Xiao Min didn’t care about anyone.
Jiang Yi poured money into Xiao Min, until he became a Shadow Emperor.
But he, Jiang Yu, was just a cannon fodder extra in all this. Xiao Min didn’t come to this love reality show, but the show exploded after it aired.
Later, on social media, Xiao Min claimed that it was Director Wang who had given this civilian a backdoor entry, that this civilian had taken his spot. He said he hadn’t come to participate in the show because of it. Xiao Min cried to his fans online, and a flood of netizens came to the live stream of the show, attacking Jiang Yu personally.
This led to Jiang Yu withdrawing from the internet, and netizens maliciously dug up his personal information. In the end, Jiang Yu couldn’t take it anymore and chose to end his own life.
“Jiang Yu? Jiang Yu?” The executive director saw that Director Wang had been calling Jiang Yu for a while without a response, so he directly called out his name.
The assistant director noticed that Director Wang was about to lose it. He was already angry because Xiao Min wasn’t coming to participate, and now Jiang Yu was spacing out.
"Ah? Sorry, I just remembered something.” Jiang Yu apologized to the directors.
The assistant director motioned to Jiang Yu: “Director Wang is calling for you, Little Jiang.”
Jiang Yu jogged over to Director Wang and asked, "Director Wang, is there something you need?"
Jiang Yu’s beautiful eyes looked directly at Director Wang. These eyes were breathtakingly beautiful, his brows like distant mountains, his eyes like shimmering water.
Two subtly curved brows, a pair of eyes that seemed to express both joy and longing, Director Wang was mesmerized, and suddenly stammered: "N-no, nothing. Your name is Jiang Yu, right? Can you take your mask off?"
Jiang Yu slightly nodded in response to Director Wang’s words.
His slender white fingers removed the mask from his face, revealing a long, delicate, and breathtakingly beautiful face. The jade-white face stared at Director Wang, making everyone feel as if they were bathed in a refreshing spring breeze, a sense of spring awakening.
“Thump thump thump… ” Whose heartbeat was that?
Director Wang was stunned, and immediately made the decision: “Y-you! It’s you! This love reality show can’t go on without you, Little Jiang. As long as you’re here, our show is guaranteed to explode!”
The other staff members around Director Wang also saw Jiang Yu’s stunning face and were mesmerized, unable to leave, their hands stopped moving.
However, Jiang Yu looked at Director Wang with some difficulty, “But Director Wang, I’ve never acted before, and I’m just a civilian, I’ve never been in a relationship.”
"What?! You've never been in a relationship? That's great! We need someone who's never been in a relationship, see how I am?"
"Oh, my nephew is really handsome, how about I introduce you to him? He's the only child in the family, after he passes, all the money will be yours!" Director Wang directly grabbed Jiang Yu’s hands, his eyes shining brightly.
Although he was a bit older, his nephew was indeed very handsome. As long as his nephew could get Jiang Yu, they could become family.
Jiang Yu was embarrassed: "Director Wang, I'm not ready for a relationship right now."
Jiang Yu had a virtual relationship online. He remembered that he was the loneliest and most helpless when his virtual partner comforted him. The person had even offered to send him abroad, but unfortunately, one of Xiao Min’s fans was a hacker, and they posted all of his private information.
He was afraid of dragging this good person down, so he broke up with him. He remembered that after he blocked the person, the other person tried every way possible to contact him, fearing he would do something stupid.
Jiang Yu really liked this person, but he only knew his online nickname was “Chasing Light," and that he was the boss of a small company.
The person had given him many gifts. It was probably his first time pursuing someone, so he always gave him things like scarves he had knitted himself and some hand-made gadgets. Although they weren’t expensive, the shape and stitching were clumsy, but Jiang Yu always liked them. He was so silly, it was cute.
Jiang Yu and Chasing Light had planned to meet in person, but they always encountered some mishap on the way.
