At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Su Che hesitated and nodded, unsure of how to face her.

Yesterday I confidently assured her there would be no problem and asked her to come to "Night Listening" to pick her up.

But it was obvious that he had blacked out when she arrived and hadn't been picked up.

As the venue owner, Ningning should bear full responsibility for this incident. However, after being released, she was unable to get up in the room and didn't have the strength to move even a finger, so she couldn't protect the area outside the venue. Therefore, it shouldn't be entirely her responsibility.

Now, things have become awkward.

"Cheche, Miya and I are very sad."

An Qing spoke softly, her eyes filled with disappointment.

"I know."

"Don't drink with other people next time. And no matter where you go, I'll pick you up in advance from now on."

"it is good."

"If Cheche has any needs that are difficult to express and you insist on asking someone else, you can talk to me beforehand... No matter what the need is, I can change for you and I will try my best to meet it. Just please, don't do this again and make me sad."

Her anxious and uncertain expression was heartbreaking.

There was no need for words between them; he simply gritted his teeth, nodded, and hugged the girl tightly.

In truth, he knew that whether things were clean or not, whether or not to hold someone accountable, these things were no longer important to An Qing. All she wanted was for his heart to remain by her side and for him to still be in front of her.

In today's society, people are restless and impatient.

Having someone by your side, lying next to you on your pillow, someone you can sleep with in your arms, someone you can confide in—isn't that a luxurious kind of happiness?

Having experienced Bai Qiao's disappearance for ten days and then Bai Chu's late-night affair, the girl has built up her psychological defenses and will not be easily broken again.

A real hug, a real kiss—these are the most precious things the two of them can hold onto right now.

……

An office building, 10:00 AM.

Bai Chu arrived early at the executive officer's office to wait for someone.

This 21-story building is one of the tallest in the city center of Tianhai, and it was very expensive to build and has a rich history.

The four large characters "Lingyun Media" are printed on the stone carving above the flower bed downstairs, with vigorous and powerful strokes.

In Tianhai, anyone interested in the entertainment industry knows the name "Lingyun".

Just like knowing Tianhai Broadcasting and Television Station, the company's artists can be seen on many well-known stages.

MIDI Music Festival, Pineapple Music Festival, Super Idol Season, Tianhai Good Voice, Youth Trainee, Hot Dance Troupe, Masked Singer... and so on. Lingyun can almost single-handedly sweep the top spots in various competitions and talent shows.

It's time to go to work.

Handsome men and beautiful women gathered here from all directions.

They entered the office building wearing name tags and formal attire.

They are generally very attractive, clearly having undergone rigorous interviews and selection processes before being hired.

Then I started from the bottom and tried every possible way to climb up little by little.

Bai Chu is clearly the most competitive one in the idol category.

At this moment, she was wearing a simple purple dress, carrying a bag with rabbit ears, and wearing open-toed sandals, standing sleepily outside the most impressive office door waiting for someone.

I didn't get much sleep. When I got back to my rented apartment, I just took a quick shower, tidied up, and rushed to the company during the morning rush hour.

Although my job is to be an idol and I don't need to work in an office every day, it would be unwise not to make proper arrangements for what to do next after such a big event.

She felt a little nervous just thinking about who she was going to meet next.

"Xiao Chu, why did you come to see me today? Is something wrong?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

This voice was distinctly different from that of an ordinary woman; it possessed the dignified air of someone who had long held a high position, carrying a sense of oppression between the lines, as if it could see into people's hearts.

As soon as he was told who it was, Bai Chu stiffened and cautiously turned around.

Sure enough, the person he was looking for had already arrived at the office door with his secretary.

—She is Ms. Su.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, and her face was delicate and beautiful. Time could not leave any marks on her smooth face. Even though she was over forty, she still looked full of wisdom and vitality.

She was dressed in an expensive gray executive suit, carrying a black bag from an unknown brand, and wearing high heels, which perfectly showcased her figure.

Even without words, the oppressive force emanating from him was still astonishing.

"Boss, I... am here to report the mistake."

Bai Chu hesitated for a moment, but still mustered her courage and proceeded with the plan.

"mistake?"

Ms. Su's gaze sharpened slightly. She gestured to her secretary to open the door, while she herself frowned slightly as she looked at Xiao Bai Chu, scrutinizing the changes that had occurred since their last meeting.

"Yes, I broke the contract and had an affair with a male member from another team."

"what?"

"I... broke the contract."

The girl's blunt words caused the female secretary to glance at her sideways.

Upon hearing this, Ms. Su frowned even more and gestured for Xiaobai Chu to quickly come inside with her.

"Tell me in detail, who is the target? Why did you do this?"

"it is good……"

Bai Chu came with the intention of turning herself in, and her purpose was to test Ms. Su's attitude.

Because this kind of thing can't be kept secret, and she didn't want to do a one-off deal and never touch Su Che again—that was impossible.

Secondly, he was unwilling to keep such a big matter to himself and deceive all his superiors, and he lived a life of constant caution.

Therefore, the only remaining option is to take the initiative to speak up and seek punishment or help from the company's upper management.

Her move was very clever.

Relying on her key position as a popular idol in "Ling Yun", she openly admitted her desire for male beauty in order to seek future opportunities.

"Last night, I was unbearably lonely and thirsty. Overwhelmed by desire, I took advantage of the darkness to meet up with the guitarist from the 'Seven Colors' band for drinks... He's an extraordinary man. Ever since we collaborated once, he's been lingering in my mind... I thought I couldn't possibly have feelings for any man, but he... he's the exception."

"..."

Needless to say, Ms. Su's expression changed slightly on the spot. She reached out her right hand and pinched the Jingming acupoint at the corner of her eye, looking like she had a severe headache.

Bai Chu continued speaking—

"We agreed to meet at a bar, around midnight."

I found him exceptionally handsome and alluring... plus we were both quite drunk, and the atmosphere was right, so I accidentally... couldn't suppress the fire in my heart.

So I... sat down next to him, thinking that just being a little closer shouldn't cause any problems..."

"Get to the point, no need for so much detail."

Ms. Su felt increasingly annoyed and simply pressed the shortcut key.

"Okay, okay, and then, naturally, we ended up chatting at the hotel. We talked all night, until we were very tired and sleepy, and we even talked about some... well, physical things."

bang bang dong!

Now, Ms. Su was fully awake.

The female secretary next to her also tactfully walked to the door and closed it behind her.

Ms. Su suddenly looked up, her gaze as sharp as a blade fixed on Bai Chu, and asked, word by word:

"You didn't use any protection?"

"……Um."

"."

"what."

Ms. Su smiled.

As a shrewd old woman, she couldn't possibly fail to see that the girl was doing it on purpose.

They deliberately got people drunk, deliberately carried them away, deliberately ate them countless times, and might even have changed their methods to better facilitate receiving resources.

what is this?

An extremely malicious conspiracy.

The ambition to rise to the top, to become a winner in life, and to overtake all other young idols of the same age is a calculated scheme.

Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?

Ms. Su asked indifferently.

"Um……"

Bai Chu was well aware of this, as the penalty for breach of contract stipulated in the contract was no small sum.

If I really have to pay it back, I might have to work for free for several months or even several years.

But she's gambling.

He bet that the mission he had been given was to eliminate all potentially threatening opponents in the Mosse tournament for "Seven Colors".

I bet that I am the irreplaceable and strongest idol in "Ling Yun", without exception.

I'm betting that my contributions to the company, my achievements, the championship trophies I've won in various competitions, and the reputation I've earned for the company will not be ignored.

Of course, the most important point is also—

Betting on Ms. Su and Su Che,

They all share the surname Su.

"Xiao Bai Chu, I've noticed that you've become very opinionated ever since you went back to the countryside."
