Xiao He never expected that Tong Junhui's retirement from the entertainment industry was arranged by Liu Rulan!
To be precise, it was Liu Rulan who forced Tong Junhui to leave the entertainment industry.
From the whole incident involving Tong Junhui, she keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Even if Tong Junhui hadn't taken those pills to lose weight, he would most likely have suffered anyway, perhaps even worse—in the face of the power struggles of capital, they are as insignificant as ants. It was all destined when Tong Junhui accepted that script.
If the only option is to save Tong Junhui's career, retiring from the entertainment industry is to leave it.
So she acted without hesitation, quickly and decisively helping Tong Junhui with his retirement from the entertainment industry after he received the Best Actor award.
The only saving grace was that Tong Junhui's mind hadn't been completely consumed by this thing yet. After a night of painful deliberation, he finally gave in to Liu Rulan's decision.
So what happened next was just as the outside world saw: Tong Junhui retired from the entertainment industry and disappeared from the public eye, while Liu Rulan, after experiencing a very depressed period in her career, began to mentor Su Shengxi and returned to the peak of her career.
As for the fact that Tong Junhui had clearly gone to quit drugs, but now he was appearing around those people again... Liu Rulan was not very willing to care.
—She can't control it either.
"I'll deal with Tian Heng. You absolutely must not get involved in this. Those people are terrifying."
Liu Rulan's expression was more serious than ever before.
Xiao He nodded immediately: "Okay, Sister Liu, don't worry!"
You definitely don't need to get involved!
...
In the morning, Xiao He got up and put on makeup as usual.
However, he arrived a little late today. People in the dressing room had already finished their makeup, and even Guo Xinya greeted him and left with her phone.
Fortunately, they have now finished filming the old-age makeup, and their usual modern makeup doesn't require too much time; just a haircut is enough.
Xiao He had only been sitting down for a short while when he heard a burst of cheerful laughter coming from behind him.
Xiao He couldn't help but turn his head to look.
Two actresses, one sitting and one standing, were sitting and laughing together, waiting for the makeup artist to do their makeup, just like him.
One of the girls looked somewhat familiar...
Xiao He narrowed his eyes, remembering who the other person was.
Isn't that the girl sitting there, the one who gossiped with Yuan Sitong last time? I think her name is Zhang Xiaoyu.
Xiao He glanced at it quickly and then looked away, while his makeup artist came over and began to do his makeup.
The other person's movements were very skillful, and Xiao He did not take the time to look at his phone. Instead, he stared straight at the makeup mirror in front of him and cleared his mind.
The once bustling dressing room gradually returned to tranquility.
"Qingqing, I need to go to the restroom."
Zhang Xiaoyu, who was sitting, suddenly stood up.
“Okay, then I’ll go with you.” Sun Qingqing, who was standing there, immediately said affectionately.
Xiao He's mirror perfectly reflected the two girls behind him, and their conversation reached his ears word for word.
It wasn't anything special at first; it was just a normal story of young girls holding hands and going to the restroom.
Suddenly, Xiao He's previously vacant gaze refocused, and his wandering soul abruptly returned to reality—
He saw with his own eyes that when Zhang Xiaoyu stood up, Sun Qingqing shifted her position, then took Zhang Xiaoyu's arm with one hand, put the other behind her back, quickly switched her and Zhang Xiaoyu's paper cups, and finally casually brushed her hair behind her ear with a gentle smile on her face.
"Xiaoyu, let's go!"
Xiao He: "..."
He seemed to have witnessed something extraordinary.
The main issue is that this angle is indeed very tricky.
Based on the conversation just now, we know that the girl who switched the paper cups is named Sun Qingqing, and the girl whose paper cups were switched is naturally Zhang Xiaoyu.
Just now, Sun Qingqing was half-sitting on the dressing table, while Zhang Xiaoyu was naturally sitting in front of the dressing chair. Just as Zhang Xiaoyu stood up to leave, Sun Qingqing cleverly blocked Zhang Xiaoyu's view with her body, and at the same time completed her whole routine.
Not to mention Zhang Xiaoyu, probably no one else noticed her switch.
However, the tricky part of this angle is that Sun Qingqing's series of actions of replacing the paper cup were clearly reflected in the mirror behind her, and then Xiao He could clearly see the scene reflected in the other mirror through his own mirror... It was truly a scene within a mirror.
Xiao He was still a little confused. Was it his "criminal aura" that attracted similar people, or was this girl just unlucky? How could she have gotten such a tricky angle in the mirror reflection, allowing him to see everything so clearly?
Not even the makeup artist who did Xiao He's makeup saw this scene, let alone anyone else.
Xiao He was somewhat helpless.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
I was just talking to Sister Liu yesterday, hoping that the crew would behave themselves a bit soon, and that once that tattletale—cough cough, that assistant director—comes back, they won't dare to cause any big trouble.
Now look what's happened. Could it be that these guys got wind of this and wanted to cause trouble beforehand, afraid of missing the opportunity?
Xiao He rubbed his temples.
—This is really troublesome.
"Xiao Chen—"
Xiao He summoned Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen was sitting on a small stool not far away. When he heard Xiao He's call, he immediately ran over.
“There’s a lot of trash on this dressing table, could you tidy it up a bit?” Xiao He glanced around and winked at Xiao Chen. “If you see any unused tissues, paper cups, or water bottles on the table, please take the trouble to throw them away. Also, prepare some new water bottles, and be careful not to throw away anything that someone else might need.”
Since most of the people in the dressing room had already left, and someone would be cleaning up here soon anyway, it wouldn't be too abrupt if Xiao He asked Xiao Chen to take care of it in advance.
Xiao Chen didn't quite understand what Brother Xiao meant, but he was good at asking few questions and doing a lot of work, so he readily agreed: "Okay, Brother Xiao."
He moved very quickly, picking up the garbage bag next to him and starting to help clean up the clutter.
Xiao Chen is quite meticulous. If there are still many things on the dressing table, he will ask the makeup artist next to him. If the dressing table is relatively tidy and it is obvious that the makeup artist has tidied it up, he will directly clean up the mineral water bottles and paper cups that the makeup artist left behind.
Xiao He watched him clean up the way, finally stopping in front of the dressing table diagonally behind him.
Zhang Xiaoyu and Sun Qingqing's makeup artists had just turned around from the other side of the makeup table and were reorganizing their makeup bags when Xiao Chen casually asked her about the paper cups on the table. The makeup artist glanced at them, shook her head, and assumed they were left behind by someone else.
So Xiao Chen took the paper cups away and didn't forget to replace them with new mineral water bottles.
When Zhang Xiaoyu and Sun Qingqing returned, they found that their paper cups were gone and replaced with mineral water bottles.
Where is my water?
When Sun Qingqing saw the missing paper cup, her expression changed slightly, and her voice subconsciously rose.
Xiao Chen, who was handing out water to everyone, heard the commotion, stopped what she was doing, and hurriedly came over to apologize.
"Sorry, I had my assistant change it."
Xiao He's lazy voice came from behind them.
Sun Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned her head to look.
Xiao He didn't turn to look at them. Instead, he met their gaze through the makeup mirror in front of him, his expression slightly ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) perfunctory and apologetic: "I noticed that the makeup and powder here are quite heavy. If something dirty falls into the paper cup, the water won't be very clean. So I had my assistant change to mineral water bottles. You don't mind, do you?"
So what if you mind? Just keep it to yourself.
Hearing Xiao He's seemingly concerned words, Zhang Xiaoyu was flattered and immediately replied gratefully, "It's nothing, it's nothing, we don't mind. Thank you so much, Brother Xiao. You're so kind to notice such a detail."
"I just happened to notice it."
Xiao He smiled, then looked at Sun Qingqing with slightly cool eyes: "What about you? You don't mind, do you?"
When Sun Qingqing met Xiao He's gloomy eyes, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao He's words implied that he had seen it!
He actually saw it?
Sun Qingqing's gaze fell on the makeup mirror in front of Xiao He, then she abruptly turned her head to look in the direction of the makeup mirror where they had just been standing—
Damn it! I forgot about that mirror!
Xiao He must have seen it just now!
Damn Xiao He, what's it to him? He's such a busybody!
