Chapter 538
[529] Xu Jinhuan Ruined My Marriage
"Brother Shu, something bad has happened! Running Man just informed us that your appearance has been cancelled!"
Shu Yunlang was sleeping in the van when his assistant quietly answered a phone call. After a long silence, the assistant cautiously woke Shu Yunlang and informed him of the news.
? ?
Shu Yunlang was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what had happened. Instead of getting angry, he asked incredulously, "Are you sure?"
After his assistant nodded silently, Shu Yunlang also fell silent, and the atmosphere in the van continued to drop. However, Shu Yunlang did not fly into a rage; instead, he appeared unusually calm, took out his phone to make a call, and quickly put on a gentle, ingratiating smile: "President Jiang, it's me, it's Xiao Shu..."
Everyone held their breath. Shu Yunlang exchanged a few pleasantries with Xiaoxin before cautiously raising his question: "President Jiang, I just received a notification that there's been a problem with the episode I was originally scheduled to record..."
Mr. Jiang was the executive producer for the entire season of the show. Shu Yunlang had met with him twice through connections, which led to Shu Yunlang's recording of the show. He originally thought he would take this opportunity to solidify his popularity, but he didn't expect that this situation would occur so soon after the recording.
"Xiao Shu, you're still young, don't be too impatient, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The other person advised in a serious tone, "But young people should prioritize their careers. You should put your career first when doing things. You can put your feelings aside for now. There's no shortage of beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and besides, you're so handsome. Doesn't that make sense?"
"I understand, thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Shu Yunlang understood what the other party meant, gratefully hung up the phone, and then stared blankly at his phone for a long time until his assistant asked him, at which point he said, "Have the studio issue a statement saying that Chen Xingruo and I only have a working relationship and no personal feelings."
The group exchanged glances, and before they could answer, Shu Yunlang added, "Be more polite in your wording."
The assistant still didn't understand, but immediately agreed.
Shu Yunlang looked up at the others, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, this is just an accident. I will work hard."
He usually treats everyone quite well, but he can also be really hot-tempered when he loses his temper. Seeing that he was noticeably calm this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone asked, "What did President Jiang say?"
"What General Manager Jiang means is that I have offended someone."
Shu Yunlang chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Advising me to prioritize my career and not think about relationships is basically advising me to stop pursuing Chen Xingruo; I can't afford to offend the people behind her..."
The assistant thought for a moment and cautiously reminded, "Won't issuing an announcement be misunderstood?"
"This announcement isn't for Chen Xingruo to see; it's for the entity behind it."
Shu Yunlang sighed, "I don't know who they are, and I can't contact them, so this is the only way I can let them know that I've backed down..."
He wasn't too worried about it. From the last time the trending topic was removed to this time his announcement being withdrawn, the other party's methods had become increasingly intense, but they were escalating steadily. Judging from this, it was probably a warning. As long as he made a timely statement, the other party would probably not continue to pursue him.
This is common in the entertainment industry; it's not a problem to offend people, as long as you have the right attitude.
What truly frustrated and saddened him was that it meant he had explicitly declared he was giving up on pursuing Chen Xingruo.
Although he knew all along that talking about relationships in the entertainment industry was a joke, Shu Yunlang still had a lot of genuine feelings for this girl; he truly liked her.
Moreover, given Chen Xingruo's background, if he were to actually be with her, he would be able to largely escape the unspoken rules and constraints of the entertainment industry, and even if it were just work, he would have far fewer things to consider.
'pity……'
After sighing inwardly, Shu Yunlang picked up his phone again, opened the chat window with Chen Xingruo, and wanted to send a message, but after editing it for a long time, he deleted it again.
As long as he stopped bothering her, she would naturally understand his attitude and there would be no need to bother her anymore. After thinking for a moment, Shu Yunlang said to his assistant, "Arrange for a few people to leak this information."

"A popular idol who pursued Chen Xingruo was warned and had his work appearances withdrawn?"
As a "professional" who had been paying close attention to information related to Chen Xingruo, Zhu Xiaoyi quickly saw the news and immediately sensed the gossip. "Who is it? Is it a case of jealousy?"
"A person who can issue such an energy warning is definitely not someone who's just jealous!"
"Who is that? He's definitely not an ordinary celebrity."
"Could it be General Manager Chen?"
"Why do I have a feeling it's General Manager Xu?"
The colleagues who were getting to know each other also joined in the gossip. General Manager Xu was naturally included, and General Manager Chen referred to Chen Guiliang. Although most of them had never met Chen Guiliang, they all knew of the existence of this big boss.
Zhu Xiaoyi had been working there for a while and increasingly felt that Xu Jinhuan had a rather high presence at Shuangxing Entertainment. As she was leaving get off work, she couldn't help but gossip, "Didn't they say that President Xu doesn't come to the company much? Why does it seem like everyone talks about him all the time?"
"Isn't this normal?"
Her colleague retorted matter-of-factly, "So young, so rich, and so handsome—he's practically the perfect boyfriend I could only dream of! With so many young women in our company, they're bound to gossip."
Zhu Xiaoyi asked curiously, "Didn't President Xu already get together with President Daxing a long time ago? What else is there for everyone to gossip about?"
"Da Xing and Xing Ruo are twins, exactly the same."
The colleague looked around before answering in a low voice, "Let me ask you, when you saw that rumored photo of Xingruo and Shu Yunlang, could you tell if it was the older or younger CEO Xingruo?"
Zhu Xiaoyi was taken aback.
My colleague continued, "Besides, there are so many rich kids in the entertainment industry, and Xiao Xing is usually so independent and doesn't care about those unspoken rules. So why is he so popular? It's all thanks to Xu Zong's songs, so everyone must talk about him a lot."
That makes sense.
Zhu Xiaoyi nodded, thought for a moment, and then sighed, "Speaking of which, CEO Daxing is really too lucky. She's beautiful, rich, and has such a great boyfriend. I never even dared to dream of such a life..."
"Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just awful!"
The colleague also sighed. The two looked at each other and felt a surge of emotion: "The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and pigs." Except this time, they both felt like pigs.

"Sister, I have something to tell you."
A few days later, Chen Xingruo, the person involved, finally heard about the incident from the company. After a brief silence, she took out her phone and began to complain to her sister, "Xu Jinhuan is so mean! He ruined my marriage! What does he mean by that?" (End of Chapter)
