Rebirth

  Xiao Yuancheng finally opened his eyes, and the strong light stimulated him to wake up a lot.

  This is...

  Everything around is white, and there's a smell of disinfectant. Two men are sitting next to me, they look familiar but I can't think who they are for the moment.

  This is the hospital!

  Was I saved myself?

  Xiao Yuancheng suddenly turned his head, narrowed his eyes and looked for a while before finally recognizing the one in the suit closest to him as his agent, Ren Shu.

  Their company divides artists into several large groups according to development requirements, and the one who leads a group of artists is called the artist director. Under the artist director, the person specifically responsible for the artist's daily life and running activities is the agent. Because there are five people in the Haeundae team, their agent also has two assistants.

  So it should be Assistant Yang Rui next to Uncle Ren.

  "It's unbearable, right? Alcohol poisoning. Let's see if you dare to drink so much next time." Ren Zeyue had a worried look on his face, "If it were in New York, I would have scolded you until your blood splattered everywhere. But since I'm being lenient with you, you end up causing such a big mess instead."

  "Alcohol poisoning......" Xiao Yuancheng felt his mouth dry, licked his lips to moisten them a bit, "What's wrong with me?"

  Didn't he save the one who was killed? How could it be alcohol poisoning?

  And wasn't Ren Shu transferred out of their group just when it was exposed that He Fang was supporting him? The financial director of their group didn't like him, so the new agent didn't care about him either. His rapid self-destruction has something to do with Ren Shu's transfer.

  "You were making a scene outside the bar, if someone hadn't recognized you and notified me in time, who knows what even bigger trouble would have happened."

  "What... what date is today?" Xiao Yuan Cheng suddenly sat up straight.

  "What's wrong? Today is June 15th?" Ren Zeyue looked puzzled.

  June 15th!!!! Xiao Yuancheng took a deep breath.

  He remembered, no wonder the scene in front of him was so familiar. June 15th was the day the scandal broke out. On June 14th, he was drunk and unaware of what happened, and then Uncle Ren sent him to the hospital. After the incident broke out, Uncle Ren held a press conference for crisis management after consulting with the old general manager. He went directly from the hospital to the press conference, where he had a verbal spat with a reporter who spoke very rudely, resulting in Uncle Ren's efforts having the opposite effect. Not long after that, it was exposed that he was gay, and Uncle Ren tried to organize water armies to confuse public opinion, but before he could clear his name, another piece of news broke out about him being kept by someone, which ended up getting Uncle Ren transferred away.

  Was it said that his dying wish was heard by a passing god and actually reversed time?

  Xiao Yuancheng stretched out his hands and looked at them, touching his face and arms. The tactile sensation was very clear, everything was real, not like he was dreaming. This was simply too mysterious, far exceeding Xiao Yuancheng's understanding of the world.

  "Are you okay?" Ren Ze Yue touched his forehead, "The fever has gone down already."

  "What time is it now?" If he didn't remember wrong, the press conference was at 8 o'clock in the evening. He clearly knew that he had been hospitalized for alcohol poisoning but didn't come to see him. Ren Shu called because of the press conference and he snatched the phone to quarrel with He Fang. When attending the press conference in the evening, his whole spirit was not good.

  "It's almost twelve now, are you hungry? Rui Zi, go buy some food." Ren Ze Yue took out his wallet from his pocket and handed it to Yang Rui, "Don't buy fast food, also don't buy butter or high-sugar drinks, remember to get a receipt."

  After Yang Rui left, Ren Ze Yue finally let out a sigh.

  "Everyone in high positions knows about your argument with Director He in the office, I didn't expect you to have a temper and argue with people, what's going on?"

  This sentence sounds familiar, it seems that Uncle Ren also said so in the past... No, to be precise, this is something that happened in the previous life.

  At that time, he was filled with grievances in his heart. The matter of Boyce and He Fan was something he couldn't even mention to Uncle Ren. One reason was that his pride wouldn't allow him to admit emotional failure, another was that if he spoke out, there might be more severe consequences. After all, He Fan was still his superior, with great power in the company.

  "Yuan Cheng, I'm going to give you some advice," Ren Ze Yue lowered his voice. "You're new to the circle and still young, there are many things you don't understand. It's best not to get emotionally involved with people in the circle, especially those of the same sex, it's all just for fun. How about this... I'll help you communicate with your fitness coach, next week increase your training intensity, exercise more, and stop daydreaming."

  "Uncle Ren." Although he had heard it again, Xiao Yuancheng couldn't help but be moved, especially knowing that Uncle Ren would soon be transferred to lead new people because of him, making him feel even more sorry for Uncle Ren.

  "Don't mind me saying this, but arguing with Director He will only make people who want to see a joke laugh. Although there are many people in the company who spoil you, there are also quite a few who dislike you, don't give them an excuse."

  Xiao Yuancheng remembered that in his previous life, when he heard these words, he was disdainful and thought that Uncle Ren did not understand the situation between him and He Fan. However, later experiences told him that Uncle Ren's words were true. In this life, he could no longer be as frivolous as before. He had to learn to calm down and distinguish between the people around him, who was good for him and who was hiding a knife in their smile.

  Ren Zeyue patted Xiao Yuancheng's head, picked up his phone and looked at it for a while, "Yesterday, besides drinking wine, did you drink anything else?"

  "No... I took the 'medicine' from the wine bar." Ren Shu was standing behind him at this time, after all, as an artist, he had to take great responsibility for what happened. In his previous life, he lied to Ren Shu and refused to admit that he had taken stimulants, which later made Ren Shu very sad.

  He can't repeat the same mistake again.

  "Yesterday, I was in a bad mood, and Xiao Bao took me to a bar called Sin. Inside, we ran into Fei Jie from Dong Yun, and she saw that I was in a bad mood, so she gave me some chocolate beans and invited us to play with them. Later, we drank a lot of alcohol and had a great time playing in the private room. Finally, all I remember is that Xiao Bao left early because he had something to do, and then more people came into the private room. After that, I don't know what happened." This was Xiao Yuan Cheng's first time telling someone about what happened that night. Xiao Bao is a member of the same group as him, with the stage name Bo Ao, and both the company and fans call him Xiao Bao. His role in the group is to be the "offbeat second dimension", which suits his nickname very well.

  "Why would you go drinking with someone from another company at a bar?" Ren Ze Yue quickly grasped the key point, "There are many people in the circle of sin, and it's normal to run into second-tier artists. But even if you want to go to a bar to have fun, why do you have to be with Dong Ent's people?"

  "What's the deal between Dongyu and our company?" Dongyu Media isn't a big company, most of the artists signed under it are just models and third-rate small actors. Even their top artist, He Feifei, is still struggling in the third and second tier, seemingly posing no threat to Shanghua. The two companies' directions aren't quite aligned either.

  "I've just heard some strange rumors... never mind, anyway, the company has set a rule that NYC and you, as well as Xiao Bao, should not spread any CP (couple) news, this kind of fan won't buy it."

  "Yesterday, I received a notice from NYC, and when I called, no one answered. When I returned to the dormitory, only Xiaobao was there playing games, and he hadn't eaten dinner yet either. So we went out together."

  Due to the influence of Korean pop culture, domestic groups also need to occasionally add some ambiguity to attract attention, which is clearly stipulated in the company's planning for the group. However, their relationships with each other are not bad (before knowing about Boyce and He Fan's situation, he thought they had a good relationship). So except for Lin Ze clearly showing his dislike for Wang Dao, the four of them get along fine.

  The main CP setting is him and captain NYC, Bao Ou and NYC, Lin Ze and Boyce. The deputy CP is Bao Ou and Boyce, Lin Ze and NYC. He is the youngest, set as a flower boy type (although he can't help but feel awkward every time he hears this). NYC has an image of social elite, Lin Ze is relatively distant from people, set as a cold noble son. Boyce has a good figure, known for being sexy, usually in music video outfits or promotional photos, Boyce exposes the most. Bao Ou often does some silly and cute things, responsible for creating laughter points.

  Among the five, he is closest to NYC. In private, NYC is a motherly figure who likes to worry and clean the house. When she has free time, she will sweep the dorm's living room and cook for others. Next is Boyce - but no one expected that Boyce would stab him in the back. In private, Boyce is quite feminine, liking fitness and skincare, far from his wild image on stage. People say Boyce is the person with the biggest difference between his on-stage and off-stage personality. Xiao Bao's relationship with NYC is not very good, but no one knows why, so he generally doesn't show too much closeness to Xiao Bao. Lin Ze is just a bit familiar with NYC and doesn't communicate much with the other three.

  According to fans now, NYC and Lin Ze are both tops, Boyce can be either top or bottom, so his pairing with NYC's orthodox beauty YC and Lin Ze's strong top-strong bottom CP are both very popular. Boyce and Lin Ze were imagined as the bottom who constantly attracts the attention of the top but actually cares deeply, it makes sense that the company doesn't allow their CP to be spread out, because if they were to take the traditional route, they would both be bottoms, which is indeed not very interesting.

  "Yuan Cheng, Uncle really wants to teach you all his experience, it's just that he can't. Ren Ze Yue let out a long sigh, "Even if it's a team effort, one still has to be careful, don't be so careless and trusting of others, people's hearts are separated by skin."

  "Fourth Uncle, you mean Xiaobao deliberately brought me to the bar?" Xiang Yuan Cheng had never thought of this before, but if it wasn't for Xiaobao's suggestion, he really wouldn't have thought of going to a bar. Last summer when they debuted, he was only in his third year of high school and had just been freed from a boarding school, entering an intense training schedule and promotional activities. He hadn't even attended his own university properly, and the final exams before this summer's break had caused a small commotion. He didn't know any of his university classmates, and many places young people went to were not accessible to him.

  Although it's not the first time I've had a drink, I don't often drink and have never drunk so much.

  "I didn't say that, maybe Xiaobao just kindly brought you to relax, I just said you should pay attention to yourself in the future, and weigh clearly in your heart where you should go and where you shouldn't."

  "Thanks, Uncle Ren." He knew very well that in a place like a bar, even if he went there again in the future, he wouldn't let himself get drunk to the point of losing his senses. Before he became strong enough to protect himself, all he could do was be careful and cautious, taking things one step at a time.
