The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend

Chapter 644: Karma Never Misses, Finale (Part 2)

Xiao Kai’s face turned red from holding it in.At this moment, Cheng Song, looking dark and sullen, slowly lifted his head from behind the desk and glanced at Xiao Kai: "What? If I hadn’t covered for you, I’d be some heinous villain in your eyes now? What are you trying to say with all that?"

"No, that’s not what I meant..." Xiao Kai realized he’d gone a bit too far, then reacted to what Cheng Song had just said and asked in surprise, "So you mean, I’m saved?"

Cheng Song spat lightly, snapping impatiently, "Ungrateful bastard, if I’d known, I shouldn’t have gone all out to save your ass."

If he really wasn’t backed into a corner with nowhere else to go, Cheng Song would never have taken all the blame onto himself.

If he really pushed Xiao Kai out as the scapegoat, once the company came down hard, Xiao Kai would be shelved, and as Xiao Kai’s agent, he could forget about having a good life afterwards. Even if he picked up a newcomer, it’d be hard to get any company resources allocated to him, and outside resources would be even harder to find. Trying to make someone big would be like climbing to heaven—unless he changed careers altogether.

But if he stepped out to take the hit, the company’s anger would fall on him alone. As long as Xiao Kai was still there, his own name value wouldn’t waver. After that, everything could still be worked out.

He’d just come back from the meeting, in an extremely foul mood. The scolding from above had been vicious, and as expected, they were going to pull all the resources he’d been in charge of.

But to Cheng Song, losing resources was still better than having Xiao Kai shelved. At least he’d still have one card left to play, right?!

Now hearing that careless tone from Xiao Kai, Cheng Song was so angry the whites of his eyes were almost all showing: "If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even be able to find a corner to cry in right now!"

He wasn’t trying to scare Xiao Kai.

Xiao Kai understood too, and immediately plastered on a fawning grin: "I knew it, no matter what, Brother Song would protect me."

Cheng Song snorted lightly: "In the coming period, you’d better behave yourself."

"Yeah, yeah, got it." Knowing Cheng Song had covered for him, Xiao Kai finally let out a breath of relief.

Besides, with things having developed to this point, after that whole brainwashing speech yesterday, Xiao Kai had actually already been sure Cheng Song would protect him. He’d only gotten worried when he saw how terrible Cheng Song’s face looked just now, afraid things might not go the way he’d planned. Fortunately, everything was still unfolding step by step according to his plan.

He was the only trump card Cheng Song could use to turn things around.

Once that trump card was gone, Cheng Song might as well change careers.

"You!" Cheng Song stood up to lecture him: "It’s easy to say you’ll behave, but you better act like it too. Don’t wander around in front of Chi Yu when you’ve got nothing to do. If he ever gets fed up with you one day, just a single sentence from him and you’ll never appear in front of him again."

The smile on Xiao Kai’s face faded, and he replied coldly, "Got it, you sure like to meddle."

Heh, the company’s already putting pressure on you. I may be a trump card in your hand, sure—but what resources can I still get?

As long as Cheng Song took all the blame, Xiao Kai already had the rest of the steps planned out.

...

A white Rolls-Royce cruised down the wide avenue.

This was Gu Yuan’s car.

Because Chi Yu’s assistant, Xiong Yao, had taken a few days off recently, Gu Yuan was worried about Chi Yu’s safety and had assigned her own car and driver to him.

Inside the car.

Chi Yu was dozing off.

Yi Shu knew the person beside him wasn’t completely asleep yet, and insisted on finishing everything he had to say.

After a while, Chi Yu opened his eyes. Yi Shu saw this and asked him, "Want some water?"

Chi Yu reached out, and Yi Shu handed him a bottle of soda. Once Chi Yu finished drinking, Yi Shu started talking: "President Xu may have long known about your identity, but back then it wasn’t public, so he still did things in a very restrained way. Now that your identity’s out in the open, President Xu not only dumped all of the company’s top resources in front of you to let you pick, he’s even generously letting other film and TV companies throw you olive branches, all desperately hoping to work with you just once."

"..."

Chi Yu’s expression was loose, his eyelids drooping, looking like he didn’t have much energy: "Split me open."

Split him into countless clones, and then they could be put to use.

Yi Shu laughed: "That kid Xiao Kai is in for it now. The company has pulled all the resources from Cheng Song’s hands, and won’t be giving him anything for a long time to come. To put it bluntly, they’ve basically exiled him."

"Not necessarily." Chi Yu hit the mark with one sentence.

Yi Shu only said this to Chi Yu; what he actually thought was something else entirely.

He hadn’t expected Chi Yu to see it so clearly too, laying out the truth in one line: "People have a thousand faces and a thousand masks. Whatever rotten thoughts they’re hiding, you can see it at a glance. For Cheng Song to have made it this far, he’s at least an old fox by now, and yet this time he actually let that brat Xiao Kai brainwash him and lead him by the nose. Heh, he’s going to have plenty to cry about later."
