I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 113: Sleeping with You?
As expected, Xu Kong regained the first place in the first episode after missing four episodes.

And it is still the kind that is undisputed.

The recording of the competition was temporarily over, but Xu Kong did not leave Star City immediately.

Wu Youxue invited him to dinner, not in the name of the program director, but in the other party's personal capacity.

What made Xu Kong laugh and cry was that the place Wu Youxue brought him to was actually the private restaurant where he and Su Zhi had been last night.

Even the private room was next to the one Xu Kong booked yesterday.

……

"Are you adapting well after going to Fengge?"

Wu Youxue asked with a smile.

"It's OK. The company is a bit bigger, so I don't feel any different."

Xu Kong replied.

Of course, although he never mentioned it to others, he had to admit that Xu Kong still missed the chairman's lounge of Fengqing Entertainment.

However, since he left Fengqing Entertainment, Yu Yaqing has never contacted him again.

Although Song Youyou is good, from time to time, I still think of Yu Yaqing's unique footwork.

"If you have any questions later, you can ask me."

"Although I have never been an artist, I should be able to give you some advice."

Wu Youxue took the initiative to show his goodwill, and the song that Xu Kong sang on this episode really benefited the other party.

At least from this time on, I no longer simply regarded Xu Kong as a so-called investment, and when I spoke to him, I always spoke from the perspective of a friend.

It can be seen that Wu Youxue still feels a little regretful.

If Xu Kong's contract wasn't too expensive and Feng Ge was wealthy, the best outcome would naturally be to sign Xu Kong to a company under Mango.

The meal was quite enjoyable and they drank a little wine, but neither of them was drunk.

Wu Youxue taught Xu Kong many invisible rules of the entertainment industry and shared a lot of gossip and interesting stories.

Although Xu Kong himself was not unfamiliar with these things, he still felt warm in his heart when Wu Youxue, a top director of Mango TV, was willing to tell him these things in person.

"When will our new drama officially start filming?"

On the way back to the capital, Guo Zihao asked.

"It should be just these two days, what's wrong?"

At present, the main characters of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" have been almost decided, and the location selection and props have also been completed. After recording this episode, the official opening ceremony should be held.

It has to be said that since Guo Zihao stopped serving as Xu Kong's agent, he has become more and more accustomed to being this assistant.

Moreover, compared to helping Xu Kong with business docking and receiving notices, the other party was obviously much more reliable when doing other things.

Work like the filming of the Legend of Sword and Fairy and the preparation of props were completed to Xu Kong's great satisfaction.

So he simply decided to let Guo Zihao continue to be the stagehand of the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew, just like he did in "Want to See You".

When Guo Zihao heard Xu Kong's question, his expression became awkward.

But in the end, he said, "I may have something to do in the next two days and need to take a leave. Can I join the group a few days later?"

Xu Kong nodded thoughtfully.

"It's no big deal."

"But what's wrong with you? Are you in love?"

Guo Zihao is only a few years older than Xu Kong, but this little fat guy has been a solo artist until now.

At the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, I am considered an older bachelor. It seems that it is time for me to find a partner.

Guo Zihao hesitated for a long time, and then said angrily: "It's none of your business, just decide whether to approve the leave or not!"

Xu Kong found it a little funny.

But it's also a bit strange. Logically speaking, they have only been in Fengge for a short time, and Guo Zihao has been running around outside most of the time.

"Wait, your girlfriend, isn't she an artist of Fengge?"

Xu Kong remembered something and couldn't help but ask.

The main reason was that he thought of Shang Yuxin. Xu Kong had clearly seen the other party's level.

People like Guo Zihao are just toys to many female artists in the entertainment industry.

There is no possibility of beating the opponent.

Fortunately, Guo Zihao shook his head at this time.

“Not an artist.”

"But she is indeed Fengge's employee, and the assistant to Manager Zhu Yu."

"I haven't confessed yet. This time she asked me out for dinner."

Xu Kong felt a little relieved after hearing this.

He remembered that Zhu Yu's assistant should be a college student who had just graduated. He forgot what she looked like, but she should not be the particularly pretty type, otherwise Xu Kong would not have forgotten her.

Of course, when I met him before, the clarity and stupidity in his eyes, which are unique to college students, didn’t seem fake.

Xu Kong was a little speechless. Ever since he had a chat with the great director Ding Lixin last time, he was amazed at Shang Yuxin's methods, but he also felt that he was about to have PTSD.

Strictly speaking, even in the entertainment industry, although there are a lot of intrigues, people like Shang Yuxin are still only a minority.

But Shang Yuxin, it’s better not to provoke her if you can.

On the first day back in the capital, Xu Kong lay in bed at home for the whole day.

It’s true, she herself is a little uncomfortable with this kind of life.

As a top star, his schedule is always packed. He takes several flights a day. He can be shooting a commercial in the north in the morning and perform in the south in the afternoon.

Now that I suddenly have some free time, it’s great, but I can’t help feeling a little empty inside.

The preparations for The Legend of Sword and Fairy are basically ready, and the next step is to wait for the opening ceremony.

Zhu Yu’s advice to Xu Kong was to postpone all remaining announcements except for participating in the next few episodes of "Our Song".

Xu Kong could only sigh at Feng Ge's wealth. He bought him back at such a huge price. Just like Lin Hong said, he did not care whether he could recover the cost in the short term.

On the contrary, some small companies in the circle almost suppress their artists in various ways in this regard, hoping to squeeze out all the surplus value before they become outdated.

In comparison, companies of Fengqing Entertainment's size are considered to be relatively conscientious.

Xu Kong’s boredom didn’t last long, as Song Youyou came over.

The other party was already familiar with Xu Kong's residence in the capital.

Although Xu Kong never told her the password to his home, this did not prevent Song Youyou from frequently making surprise attacks late at night.

It's the same this time.

But the difference is that Youyou always changes her ways every time she comes.

Xu Kong even suspected that the other party was planning to practice most of the plots he had seen.

This time, Youyou is wearing a black leather cosplay costume and a white fur wig on her head.

Xu Kong wasn’t quite sure who the other person was cosplaying, mainly because he had little knowledge of most of the anime in this world.

"Don't take it off!"

At the critical moment, Xu Kong was stopped by Song Youyou.

Seeing Xu Kong's confused expression, Song Youyou said:

"I won't feel that way if I take it off." - "What if I don't take it off?"

Before Xu Kong finished speaking, Song Youyou took the initiative to demonstrate it.

This allowed Xu Kong to fully appreciate the exquisite design of Song Youyou's cosplay costume.

He didn’t know about the other things, but he was sure that the clothes definitely did not restore the character!
Because the black stockings underneath are open, they are breathable and convenient.

Even the above is exquisitely designed. It looks like it is wrapped tightly, but in fact, if you pull it slightly, the truth will be revealed.

The filming of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has not officially started yet, but the latest episode of "Our Song" has been officially aired.

The fact that Xu Kong took first place again soon became a hot topic on Weibo.

However, this time, Xu Kong's song was indeed very popular, but more people paid attention to the lyrics.

"After Xu Kong came back, he seemed to have figured something out. His whole state was completely different."

"I feel the same way. He probably wants to express his attitude through this song. Rankings and the like are not that important."

"It can be seen that this change of company was a big blow to Xu Kong. After all, he is still a young man. It is normal that he couldn't accept the betrayal from Feng Qing for a while."

"Xu Kong is becoming more and more like a professional singer and musician, which is a good thing. After all, if he continues to be a traffic star, he won't go far."

Xu Kong looked at the various so-called professional analyses on the Internet and began to doubt himself.

Although he disappeared for a while, has the change really been that big?

And although Yu Yaqing's sale of his contract was indeed unplanned, Xu Kong was not affected that much.

After all, such business practices have long been common in the entertainment industry.

Especially for the contracts of some popular idols, it is very normal to change hands two or three times at a time.

I can only say that today’s netizens really have too many imaginations.

"This is a good thing. Not only will it not have too much negative impact on you, but it can also reduce the label of you as a traffic star in the eyes of the public."

Zhu Yu pushed up her glasses and analyzed to Xu Kong.

Unlike Fengqing Entertainment, after Xu Kong came to Fengge, although there will still be a public relations team to help, most of the time, they will no longer spend such a large budget and time to control comments and buy water armies as before.

After telling Xu Kong the follow-up plans again, Zhu Yu looked at the watch on her wrist.

"It's time for lunch, do you want to join me?"

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.

"Wait for me there for a while. I'll go to the staff cafeteria to get some food."

"Anything you want to eat or avoid?"

Xu Kong shook his head, indicating that it would be fine as long as he ate the same thing as the other person.

Looking at Zhu Yu's back as she left, although it was not the first time, he was still a little uncomfortable with her very strict time planning.

I often stop talking in the middle of a conversation because it’s either time for lunch or time to get off work.

I even remember the time to water the potted plants in the office clearly.

It was consistent with the impression Zhu Yu left on Xu Kong on weekdays. Even her mealtimes were so orderly.

Before eating, he would even sort the dishes such as tomatoes and eggs, green peppers and shredded pork on the rice into different categories and arrange them very carefully before eating.

What a strange sense of ritual this is.

"Sister Yu, do you have obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Xu Kong couldn't help but asked.

After spending more than a month together with Zhu Yu, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

He started to speak more casually.

But to Xu Kong's surprise, Zhu Yu shook her head.

“I used to think I might have obsessive-compulsive disorder.”

“But later I found out it wasn’t.”

"Or maybe it's not that serious."

"Don't you think it would taste better if you separated each dish, took a little of each, and then ate it in one bite?"

Zhu Yu demonstrated as she spoke, took a bite of rice, then looked at Xu Kong with blinking eyes.

With doubts, Xu Kong tried the other party's method.

It’s actually really good, in fact, there is no difference from eating normally.

After lunch, Zhu Yu took out a small orange blanket from a cabinet in her office.

Then, like magic, a portable folding chair was moved out from the corner.

After taking off her coat and even changing into slippers that she didn't know where she got them from, Zhu Yu then remembered that Xu Kong was still here.

I asked a little embarrassedly: "I'm going to take a nap, do you want to join me?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing and changed her words:
"no."

"I mean, there's a sofa there. If you're too lazy to go back upstairs to your studio, you can rest here."

Xu Kong hesitated for two seconds, then said: "Then let's go together."

As if she sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, after handing Xu Kong another blanket, Zhu Yu quickly returned to her folding chair and lay down.

I don’t know if it was because the environment in Zhu Yu’s office was more suitable for resting, or because of the blanket she gave him, but Xu Kong slept particularly comfortably.

It was not until Zhu Yu woke him up that Xu Kong climbed up in a daze.

He stretched himself and asked subconsciously, "What time is it?"

Zhu Yu resumed her work mode at this time, checked the time and replied: "Two o'clock in the afternoon."

"You slept for more than two hours."

Xu Kong was also a little embarrassed.

"The main reason is that Sister Yu, your sofa is so comfortable."

Zhu Yu smiled and replied, "Then you can come to me whenever you feel tired in the future."

Xu Kong seemed a little surprised after hearing what the other party said.

"May I?"

"Sleeping with you?"

Xu Kong had just finished speaking when, almost subconsciously, Zhu Yu took a half step back and made a gesture with her hands crossed, knowing how to respond.

"Dah!"

Xu Kong suddenly remembered that Zhu Yu’s daughter Minmin had told him before that when her mother was nervous, she would subconsciously do some strange things.

I didn’t understand what it meant at the time, but now I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

"Sister Yu, what I mean is, can I come here during your nap time?"

However, Xu Kong did not expose it, but explained with a smile.

These words obviously made Zhu Yu feel relieved.

"Other times are fine, but I'm not in the office all day."

"I'll talk to my assistant later and ask her to open the door for you when I'm not around."
