ESE Office Building.

"Two weeks." The tall man facing the transparent wall-to-ceiling window said, looking down at the numerous people and vehicles on the ground from his vantage point. "Within two weeks, I want to see Feng Jing's resignation letter on my desk."

"I?" Amanda could not believe her ears at the moment. She had been in this industry long enough to see the on-and-off business relationships, and she had seen some people get mysteriously dismissed from the circle, but even when Li Rui called her into the office and personally commanded her to make Feng Jing resign, she still could not believe it.

...The other person really wants Feng Jing to be out of ESE?

A few days ago, Li Rui and Feng Jing's relationship had caused such an uproar in the industry and had become well-known.

But among the elites in the ESE, who does not know about their ambiguous relationship? Who does not know that Feng Jing has contributed so much to the company's growth for Li Rui?

Even when those journalists from the media, one by one was trying to pry some exclusive news about the ESE elites, who would dare to give the media the exact information? Or dare to comment about something?!

Why now...

Why does it have to be her?

"After Feng Jing resigns, you will take over his position." The tall man simply said in a low and placid tone, with a hint of arrogance of an ancient emperor who is in charge of all the reins. He did not care about his decision would affect other people, or more like setting off a storm in the entertainment industry...

Compared to her earlier shock, this made Amanda forget to breath!

Her pupil enlarged, and her expression was beyond shocked!

She will be replacing Feng Jing?

To become...become the new Director of ESE?!

"I...you mean..."

"Want me to repeat it again?"

After the huge disbelief was the feeling of being deeply shocked! Those words were repeated in Amanda's mind several times before she finally breathed in a few mouthfuls!

Feng Jing had a righteous and strong personality, who adorned a gentle, calm, and compelling character!

Even if he was no longer a star, he could still attract all the attention from the media! Putting aside his personal life, he transitioned from being a popular idol to becoming the high-level and smart PR personnel---this ability is in no way inferior to his acting talent! He even knew how to avoid his own weaknesses, and cleverly made good use of his previous influence and used his connections to his advantage!

With his dual identity, even if it was just an ordinary new person in this industry, as long as the person was under Feng Jing's care, the new person would have more opportunities to be exposed to the audience! It could be said that as a starter, the person already is a level higher than most newcomers from other companies!

So for Feng Jing to become Director at ESE, it was not just simply based on his relationship with Li Rui.

His ability, the resources in his hand from his previous experience, that was something that other PR personnels could not replicate! Not every popular idol who is at their prime time would be willing to give up the spotlight to retreat to backstage! Nor does every idol have the ability to become an ace agent!

But now Li Rui was hinting---if Feng Jing were to leave, she would be the new Director of ESE!

No, this is not a hint, it's a promise!

Amanda was shocked and did not know what to say! Even she did not dare to think of comparing herself to Feng Jing, or to replace him! Her only goal was to follow Mu Zhe Bai's path! She wanted to compete with Mu Zhe Bai by cultivating an international star, and then become a PR personnel of ESE like Feng Jing.

But now---becoming the new Director of ESE!

The title, the position, the office, and the right of a Director! In this luxurious ESE building, there is only one Director, that is her, Amanda!

Followed by the huge shock of disbelief...it is the huge temptation.

Amanda could hear her heart beating chaotically and her face heating up, but her feet and hands frozen up. Feng Jing...the person she used to like, the one she used to look up to.

"I understood."

Amanda heard herself reply in a dry, trembling, and clear tone.

*** *** ***

Amanda could not tell what she was feeling. Was it because she was shocked to see Li Rui being cruel to Feng Jing, or because she was shocked to learn that Li Rui promised to let her be the new Director of ESE. Such intense emotions intertwined with each other, making her face turning from red to pale and vice versa; when she left the office, she accidentally bumped into Mu Zhe Bai right outside the door.

It was such a strong bump that it caused Mu Zhe Bai to fall back a few steps.

With the help of both Mu Zhe Bai and Xie Yi, Amanda was able to stand firmly on her feet, but her mind was still in a mess so she did not remember to say "thank you" and just directly headed back to her office. She wanted to call Chu Feng to let him be the first to know!

"What happened to her?" Even Xie Yi noticed something was not right with Amanda. She looked like she was too excited.

Mu Zhe Bai looked at Amanda's anxious expression and her uncoordinated walking posture, he stretched out his middle finger to push up his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Let's first talk with Chairman Li about the new project. James is the director of 《The Rising Empire》which has sold over a billion ticket globally, and his new movie this time has a Chinese role, no matter how much public relations we use, we must get it!"

"Uh!" Xie Yi's expression became cautious and serious as he nodded his head.

The conversation with Li Rui went smoothly.

In fact, Mu Zhe Bai believed Li Rui was quite distracted as the man did not seem to listen to what he said. Li Rui reacted quickly, although Mu Zhe Bai found it somewhat strange, and he could not tell whether the man was trying to hide his distraction or not.

But his purpose was to persuade Li Rui to agree to use all of ESE's global connections, money, and forces to help Xie Yi win the role, after Li Rui had totally agreed to it, he did not go deeper into Li Rui's strange distraction from earlier.

Aside from matters related to Xie Yi, truth is, Mu Zhe Bai had no interest in other people's matters.

Even if there were a commotion in the company at this time regarding his immediate superior Feng Jing, or even if it was about ESE's chairman...

The conversation was about the new movie role.

Li Rui paused, looking like he was pondering about something. Mu Zhe Bai and Xie Yi understood that the other man was going to give some specific order.

"Feng Jing will resign on his own, that is for sure...if the reporters ask about it, you should know what to say."

Mu Zhe Bai and Xie Yi were surprised in unison, and their bodies sitting on the office couch felt somewhat uneasy.

They had heard of such news, even if they were not that concerned, even if they did not pay much attention to it, even if they were mentally prepared for it, hearing this sentence from Li Rui's mouth, stunned both Mu Zhe Bai and Xie Yi for some time as they glanced at each other.

"It's something we should do, we understand now."

Mu Zhe Bai was slightly quicker to react than Xie Yi. He made a brief and accurate stand on the situation, and then found an excuse to quickly take Xie Yi out of Li Rui's office.

*** *** ***

"I never thought..." Xie Yi's voice was a bit confused.

Even though they had left Li Rui's office a while ago, Xie Yi's mood was still very complicated.

He knew that Li Rui was rational, cold, and ruthless.

But Feng Jing, he had been working with Feng Jing at ESE for more than ten years. From when he first entered ESE, he often saw Feng Jing in the building, yet the other man had still ended up with such a result...

It made him think back to that time when Du Yun Xiu had called him. {the past life Du Yun Xiu, I hope people don't just jump the ship and be like "when did he call" LOL, please keep up with the storyline and the timeline too ^^}

Maybe...in Lin Xuan's eyes, he was as ruthless of a man as Li Rui is now.

Xie Yi felt very stuffy in his chest.

A kind of inexplicable restlessness, and a deep frustration.

He could already imagine that when the news of Feng Jing being kicked out of ESE is officially confirmed, Feng Jing would have to face the reign of terrors; compared to the uproar in recent days, it would be on a different level...

At this time.

Someone pressed down on his shoulder, quite hard but steady. Within that second, the person successfully shooed away that heavy feeling in his heart, it became calm again, and then his heartbeat steadied like serene water.

Xie Yi knew that person was Mu Zhe Bai.

Before, when Du Yun Xiu's sexual oriental was exposed,he also wanted to come out, but just like this time, Mu Zhe Bai, in a calm manner, had pressed him down.

"Earlier, Amanda was like that due to this."

"Hm?" Xie Yi's tone hitched up, as he confusedly turned to look at Mu Zhe Bai, not knowing what the other man meant.

"Just a few days ago they let out a few rumors and some speculations. But they are not real blows to Feng Jing, as long as ESE says nothing, the media has nothing to prove this news to be true."

"But now this matter is being handed down to Amanda, and it is a different story now. If my guess is correct, in the next few days ESE will do something, perhaps a press conference?"

Mu Zhe Bai said, seeing that Xie Yi's mind is now on his words, no longer falling into the past and self-blaming himself, he patted the man's shoulder twice, then retreated his hands.

"But Amanda...I, I still don't understand...how Li Rui can do it! To let Feng Jing resign?"

"Feng Jing is probably going to resign on his own."

"Feng Jing is like a hero of ESE, everyone knows this. Li Rui's intention must be that he wants Feng Jing to resign at his own record. This would reduce ESE's negative image at the maximum, they must have made some secret compensation in this amend---just that, Feng Jing does not do as he instructs, deliberately turning things into this mess, causing such a big ruckus."

"Self-resignation?"

"Even with that said, once this news gets released, everyone would know something is not right about this. Especially those crazy paparazzi dogs who have much more sensitive noses than others."

Mu Zhe Bai took off his glasses because there was some dust on the lens.

He took out a special eyeglass cloth from the office drawer and inspected it. Without the glasses, Mu Zhe Bai does not have that deep temperament in between his brows like Li Rui.

"Li Rui has Li Rui's own way of approaching, and Feng Jing naturally will find his own path on this road."

"No, I mean when Li Rui and Li Chen were competing for the power of ESE, it was due to Feng Jing's help. What reason does he have to make Feng Jing quit? I mean why would he want Feng Jing to quit?" Xie Yi had a hard time accepting this fact.

Mu Zhe Bai remained silent for a few seconds, and he was wiping his glasses while organizing his thoughts.

"How should I explain this?"

"Feng Jing and Li Rui can be seen as the general and the emperor in the ancient days. Feng Jing is a righteous person with great ability, and he has always been Li Rui's striker. To be precise, Feng Jing has taken a good hold on these talented artists, so that in case Li Rui fails to take over ESE, then he can always take these artists away from the company. If that is the case, when Li Chen is not in charge of ESE, the company is just an empty shelf. Then, as its vitality is heavily damaged, then he has to re-cultivate a new talent and start anew, everything cannot be done within a short few years."

"And Li Rui, or the emperor in ancient time, is well versed in the art of an emperor. He does not want meritory but it is the power, the status, and the prestige. Feng Jing fights in the war for him, and achieves a lot for him! But Li Rui won't be grateful for that. China is such a nation where the emperor would relinquish one's military command over a glass of wine, and cook the hounds once all the hares are bagged..."

"Li Rui is always on the edge with people of great achievement. In fact, the moment Feng Jing rode on that horse with a shield in his hand, in Li Rui's view, Feng Jing has become a potential threat in the near future to his power. Therefore, when Li Rui became the Chairman of the board, he immediately promoted Feng Jing into the Director position."

"Director? Haha. It seems to be an affirmation and a thank you to Feng Jing, and to expand Feng Jing's power. But it is not really a rise to power but more like a falldown. Since Feng Jing became the Director, Li Rui did not let him to be in direct contact with any of the new artists! To frankly put it, Feng Jing is now not a manager, instead his only power is in the PR department!"

"It's a reasonable position...just that, this successfully cut off all connections between Feng Jing and his artists. Now forcing Feng Jing to resign, there will be no artists coming with him."

"Of course, these are just old calculations." Mu Zhe Bai put his glasses back on, his eyes showing a trace of sympathy for Feng Jing.

"But Feng Jing is completely oblivious to these changes. Take these two years for example, he spent five times the usual fund to train Legacy, Li Rui of course did not care about this little money. Li Rui cares more about something else."

"Following by Du Yun Xiu's car accident incident, Feng Jing did not tell Li Rui about it, but instead used ESE's name to pressure the crew to delay the filming progress to wait for Du Yun Xiu's recovery, making ESE pay out compensation for the delay. For this incident, he had used his authority in ESE to settle it down."

"If there were just these two matters, Li Rui could still accommodated his wish. But then came the voting on the newcomer award, and Feng Jing simply challenged Li Rui's authority. The artists are from ESE, and ESE's chairman is Li Rui. Li Rui had decided the newcomer award should go to Chu Feng, but Feng Jing decided to support Du Yun Xiu on this matter, that was too unwise of him."

"And recently, Li Rui has always wanted his brother Li Xiao to be in Luc Rohmer's movie. And the result was that Du Yun Xiu got it. It is said that the two of them had an argument over this matter. For Li Rui had always favored his little brother over anything; even if in the end it was Li Xiao who gave up the role, that didn't mean Li Rui would not add this onto Feng Jing's sin list, for he must be thinking that Feng Jing underhandedly tried to persuade his little brother to give up the role.

"Indiscriminate use of authority, overpowering, challenging his authority, and even darinf to touch his own family member. Who is Li Rui, Li Rui is the chairman of ESE.If a chairman faced these problems, what you think he would do?"

"But...they have been together for more than a decade."

"Then---this is the root of the problem."

"This year Li Rui is already 39 years old, and Feng Jing is 34 years old. For a middle-aged man, the feeling of number 38 and number 39 are not the same, and number 39 and number 40 are only different by one number."

"Number 40 is not that far away, Li Rui also needs to make his decision quickly. At 35 years old, he got engaged with the daughter of the Qin group, and it has now been three years, and he needs to make the decision of whether he is to get married to the Qin family's daughter, or to live together with Feng Jing. Maybe in these two years, he has been considering this as he has been trying to balance both sides, but it's no doubt that this has dragged on for three years, so the Qin group must have put pressure on him regarding the engagement, or he has other matters planned for his life..."

"After all he chose the power, and gave up Feng Jing."

"I'm afraid this is the Qin group's daughter's condition of getting married, no wife can tolerate her husband's male lover and her husband being in the same company and meeting eye-to-eye everyday."

"And if he were to refuse the condition, that might lead to a retaliation from the Qin group; and if he were to break up with Feng Jing, the younger man would take revenge on him---obviously, the threat from Feng Jing is on a much smaller scale. To minimize all risks and dangers, it is a judgement and decision that a company's top authority usually makes."

Xie Yi carefully listened to the analysis, and did not say anything for a long moment.

Finally he propped his hand up to rub his forehead, "that...even though I can understand Li Rui's practise, I also feel Feng Jing is very pathetic, and worthy of sympathy."

"This world is like that. People who are standing at a higher status will achieve a lot of things, but will also lose many valuable things as well..." Mu Zhe Bai's eye flashed up a deep light, comfortingly patted on Xie Yi who was currently in a low mood.

"Ah, right, then what is with Amanda? Li Rui would really let Amanda..." Xie Yi suddenly remembered that they had just met Amanda at the door to the office, if Li Rui told them of this matter, that means Amanda is taking on this matter.

"Li Rui should make her do a lot more work." Mu Zhe Bai smiled naughtily, but there was no smile in his eyes, "since Feng Jing would not silently resign, then it would only retort in a much tougher method. If this matters completes smoothly, it's possible that Amanda would be sitting in Feng Jing's position."

"Her? Does she even have that ability? Even if there are a few small stars under her care along with Legacy---she is nowhere comparable to you! Why not let you be the director!" Thinking that Amanda is likely to become ESE's new director, Xie Yi was in utter disagreeance!

Hearing that Xie Yi wanted to protect him and wanted to stand on his side made Mu Zhe Bai's contours soften, and the corner of his lips curved up into a gentle smile.

"Li Rui even fended defense with Feng Jing! Seeing that you're at the peak of your career, he even tries to cultivate a Chu Feng to balance out your power." Mu Zhe Bai grunted lowly, Li Rui wanted to Chu Feng to win the Best Newcomer Award, of course he knows what the other man is planning, "If Feng Jing actually leaves, you think he would let me be the Director?"

"But, Amanda, her? Giving her this director position is too much for her."

"This is it. Li Rui chose her for this reason. Someone with a little bit of ability, but thinks she is the best, and someone who does not see her own weakness...such a person is the best to control, isn't it? Compared to the leadership of one hundred wise men, or to lead a hundred mediocre men, this is so much easier." Mu Zhe Bai smiled.

"Do you...don't you feel being wronged? You clearly have the ability, yet you can't surpass such useless people."

"Of course not." Mu Zhe Bai through the thin lens looked at Xie Yi's handsome and charming eyebrows.

From when he glimpsed him in his twenties, he was being attracted by the other man's dazzling brilliance, he was lucky to be come the man's personal manager, since then he only has one goal...

After hearing what the other has said, Xie Yi fell into a stupor, as it seemed he could not understand why the other man said so.

"For me, as long as I can do my best to open up the path to stardom for you, to help you clear up all the obstacles that hinder you from achieving your dream, that is sufficient for me." Mu Zhe Bai stared into Xie Yi's eyes and said that.

"I only have one wish in this life---to help you reach to your wish, and become the king of acting!"

"Everything else, whether I am being welcomed for my ability, whether I can be the director, those are not important..."

*** *** ***

"You're looking for me for this matter?" Fu Zi Han unhappily put down his fork and knife, disappointed amber eyes looking at Du Yun Xiu, "the very first day you returned to the country, you stood me up just to look everywhere for Feng Jing, and finally when I get to have dinner together with you, you are still talking about Feng Jing, until now...you hope that I can help him?"

"Help him?" Fu Zi Han shook his head helplessly, "How do you want me to help? This is ESE's internal conflict. Moreover, you want me to use Glorious Crown's power to help him."

"...No, it's not like that." Du Yun Xiu subconsciously refuted. But deep in his heart he knows that when he mentioned Feng Jing's matter, he was hoping that Fu Zi Han would give him a good suggestion, or to give him a helping hand.

These two days, just these short two days.

All the media gave out different news regarding the matter. If previously everything was just a rumor, but now it got even worse, the media even dug up the old gossip regarding Feng Jing.

So now the matter was completely different from before!

First, the media accused Feng Jing of unethical professional conduct, such as when he was a manager, he used unspoken rules on the new female artists, if they didn't agree, they would not have any events scheduled for them, and would not let them be noticed by the audience. Then the media openly publicized Feng Jing of abusing his power to use ESE's public funds, and it was not once or twice, at the same time they revealed that Feng Jing openly having relationship with the artists under his care, even had grandeur parties, one night stand, NP {numerous plays a.k.a having an orgy with multiple people}; Feng Jing becoming so famous as an idol was due to him "having a different relationship" with the producers, and he made good uses of this relationship in the Golden Cypress Award's decision panel! This implied that there is an under handling going on in the Golden Cypress Award---Feng Jing used his influence to do secret trading!

This intensity has touched the bottom line of a lot of companies, artists, and ordinary people! From the working attitude, his morality, and all other aspects, everything is being pointed at Feng Jing! Those who have been keeping a grudge against Feng Jing in the past had the opportunity to add their insult into the matter, taking on their retaliation against him as they wantonly fabricated their stories of Feng Jing being this and being that, some unnamed stars would take this opportunity to add into the flame in hope to gain some acknowledgement from the audience from this scandal. And people who did not win the Golden Cypress Award either implied that Feng Jing was doing some private transaction and showed their dissatisfaction on the matter or quickly distancing themselves. Some good people who spoke up to protect Feng Jing were immediately accused of having an "unusual relationship" with Feng Jing!

This wave of unsounded reasoning came one after another.

Although it had only been two days, it was like a flood infestation, such news quickly flooded the newspapers and magazines, even got into the Internet and TV!

And these two days, Feng Jing did not go anywhere.

The man stayed at Du Yun Xiu's place, barefoot, lying on the sofa, turning on the TV to see what kind of news the media reported on him, and then just sneered and got drunk.

He made Du Yun Xiu buy all the hard liquor like Whiskey and Vodka.

Du Yun Xiu, for the first time realized Feng Jing could drink that much, chugging the liquor down really fast, even drinking it for three meals straight, and did not even have a piece of food in his stomach. His glamorous posture in the past had long gone, now he looked more like...like someone being abandoned by a lover.

Feng Jing did not reveal a slightest sad look.

Precisely due to that, Du Yun Xiu now understood that---this man was in pain, it was the kind of pain that penetrated into his bone. Pain to the bones, yet he still acted strong...

He cooked for Feng Jing, Feng Jing did not eat; he told Feng Jing to drink less, Feng Jing coldly stared at him, threatening to leave.

What kind of situation were they in now?

Right now all the journalists are eager to use the camera to record every move, and every word coming out from Feng Jing. Du Yun Xiu would not dare to let Feng Jing to go out in this state! If he were to come out looking like that, then the reporters would slander him and strip on his wound!

Du Yun Xiu really wanted to hug him tightly.

Wanting to tell him to not listen, do not look, those would be over soon, everything would just be a past...

Before, Feng Jing was surrounded by a whole bunch of camera lens, those flashing light pierced through his eyes making him unable to see, those people ridiculously interviewed him: "How does being a homosexual feel?", "Don't you feel dirty?", "The spreader of AIDS." , "The exposure of your sexuality, in fact, is just a speculation ah!..."

That was how Feng Jing...who came to Du Yun Xiu's place.

Du Yun Xiu broke up with Fu Zi Han.

For the first time, he felt that he was very weak, very useless, until now, asides from handing Feng Jing more bottles of liquor, when the other man was being slandered by the others, Du Yun Xiu could not do anything.

He gave Amanda a call, the other said to mind his own business!

He called Teng Ze and Wei Yi Fei. He was hoping that when the other two are being interviewed, they can say one or two nice things for Feng Jing; the other two said they got orders from the above, so they are powerless.

He called Chu Feng, the other line got silent for a while then asked him mockingly, since you want to help him so much, why don't you directly go against ESE? In the end, aren't you also afraid? Since it is not easy to obtain the Golden Cypress Award and get the popularity, aren't you afraid that ESE would stop all your activities due to him?

He gave Liu Yi a call, and even called Director Lian...

Du Yun Xiu had contacted all the people that he knew, but not even one person dared to refute at this time, but they also tried to avoid him as much as possible to stop all arousing suspicions. After all, as long as someone said something good about Feng Jing, that person would be seen as having shady business or using unspoken rules to win the awards, so all the awards of the person in the past will be light weighted...

*** *** ***

Du Yun Xiu stood in front of the mirror to adjust his clothes.

He was wearing a British style black sweater, and an elegant gray silk shirt. Calm black and elegant gray pants, lining from his waist along his long legs, giving a stylish and extravagant feeling.

Compared to his past two days with his anxious and powerless appearance, today Du Yun Xiu looked refreshing, as if there was no haze in his heart.

With such appearance, even Feng Jing noticed the change.

Feng Jing was lying crooked on the sofa, squinting his narrow long eyes, looking at the person carefully straightening his sleeve in front of the mirror---Du Yun Xiu seemed to be about to make some important decision, he forced himself to swallow down a big chug of liquor, but it resulted in him choking on it!

Du Yun Xiu quickly walked over, wanting to pat oFeng Jing's back.

Feng Jing waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't touch me! Go away...hehe, you're going to attend what conference now, for your new movie, or the interview with the reporters! You all go away, all of you, for your goal, for your life---you all go away."

A flash of pain crossed Du Yun Xiu's face as he still patted on Feng Jing's back to help him soothe away the pain, then slowly retreated his hand back.

"I really love acting. Really."

"This kind of feeling...is like an addiction. Whenever I finished filming a movie, I'm looking forward to the next role of the next movie. I keep on wondering what role will it be? What kind of story it will be? Can I perform the role well enough? Can I let more viewers take note of the role I play, can they feel what I want to convey to them?"

"...this kind of feeling, the kind of desire to act, as if it penetrates deep into my bones and my flesh, if I try to compare the pain of flesh and blood being stripped away from my body to not able to act again, it has the same level of pain!"

"If you ask me what I can never give up in this life, then I would answer one is love...the other is acting. But now, there is something even more heavier than those two---that is my life principle. If I cannot act ever again due to that...then it does not matter."

Du Yun Xiu lowered his head, and then suddenly smiled.

"These clothes, you probably do not remember them! ...it's okay, it's enough that I remember it."

"Honestly speaking, you may never be able to understand how much you have helped me...you let me stand on the screen again and let me understand myself even more..."

"This feeling...is really good. Really great."

"Some people might not have a chance to perform in their whole life. Some people only get one chance at acting, yet I have had two chances at acting."

Du Yun Xiu raised his head, looking at Feng Jing with a gentle smile that looks like a spring lake, although this smile seemed a bit sad, along with...

"I've been very satisfied! Really...I'm grateful to you!"

At the radio interview.

The interview was arranged by Amanda for Legacy, it was a warm-up activity to promote their third album.

Although the original contract stated that their album would be released in September, due to some circumstances, their EP only got its release now, which has already exceeded the contract period. Since they signed a five-year contract with ESE, and now it has only been two years, plus ESE has been very good to them, so Chu Feng and the others did not care much about the delay.

Of course before the recording started, Amanda had repeatedly reminded them over and over that they are not allowed to answer any questions regarding Feng Jing.

As she said these words, her eyes sharply looked at Du Yun Xiu.

However, Du Yun Xiu only gave a shallow smile.

As expected, toward the end of the program.

Topics related to Feng Jing is the most talk about news among the media, the host would not miss such an opportunity: "Recently, there are a lot of news circling around ESE's Director Feng Jing, you as ESE artists, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

Chu Feng was saying: "We would like to answer questions regarding the EP, I believe that the listeners are more concerned about this topic than most."

Du Yun Xiu unexpectedly opened his mouth and overshadowed Chu Feng's voice.

"Those news are not trustworthy!"

"Feng Jing is an honorable man. He has produced many good artists, many people in this circle who have been working with him in the past as an artist or as a manager, they can verify his ability, his talent, and his personal charm; he is someone who is worthy of recognition."

"All the efforts he has paid and done for ESE clearly showed in his works!"

"And I, someone that was being picked by him personally, have been very fortunate, to be able to participate in acting and to become a true artist. And I hold a deep feeling of gratitude toward him."

"So no matter what other people think of him, I will always stand on his side, I believe in him. I will always stand by my words of today, no matter what!"

"If ESE insists on dismiss Feng Jing, then as an artist being first-hand trained by him and have been in this entertainment industry for two years, I cannot accept such a decision! As a person, when my own benefactor who has been cultivating me is being slandered by others and I cannot speak up for him, I feel absolutely shameful for that!"

"If Feng Jing is being dismissed---then I, Yun Xiu, will leave this inhumane company!"

"All my fans who are listening to this, if you believe in me, please also believe in Feng Jing! Believe in him, support him, is your way of believing in my life principle! Thank you very much!"

Du Yun Xiu's voice was very calm.

He spoke each and every single word into the mouthpiece with a serious look. These words of his had set off an uproar.

But anyone presenting today could not stop him.

---Because every word of his was full of power.

Persistent, serious, and grateful. Those are the most common words, yet those words caused some people to feel ashamed of themselves.
