Chapter 173 Whoever's Famous Is the Boss
He had just finished singing a new song on stage. When he stood on the stage, he could clearly see that at the main table, big shots like Zhuo Hongyuan, who would never even give him a second glance, were all surrounding Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan, their attitudes unusually respectful.
Lu Xingci felt both jealous and envious.
Although he is a top star now, in the eyes of these real big shots, he is nothing more than a money-making actor.
If we can get in touch with Shen Yu, not to mention resources in the entertainment industry, even if we want to switch to business in the future, it will be smooth sailing.
More importantly, his body has been becoming increasingly restless lately; he often has nightmares at night and his chest frequently aches badly.
The person who helped him said it was a normal reaction, but he felt increasingly panicked.
If Shen Yu could take a look, maybe this hidden danger could be resolved.
Thinking of this, Lu Xingci picked up a glass of champagne, straightened his suit, put on his most polite smile, and walked towards the head table.
He walked slowly, feeling both nervous and expectant. He had already thought about how to introduce himself and how to make an impression on Shen Yu.
But just as he reached a point three meters away from the main table, two bodyguards in black suits suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way.
"Sir, please wait." The bodyguard's voice was cold and expressionless.
Lu Xingci's smile froze for a moment, and he quickly said, "I am Lu Xingci. I would like to go and offer a toast to Mr. Shen and Miss Jiang."
"Mr. Shen doesn't like to be disturbed."
Zhuo Hongyuan walked over, not even glancing at him, his tone indifferent.
"Mr. Lu, please leave after your performance. Don't disturb other people here."
The surrounding guests all looked over, their eyes filled with a sense of anticipation.
Lu Xingci's face instantly turned bright red, from her ears to her neck.
He felt countless gazes piercing him like needles, making him feel utterly ashamed.
He gripped the wine glass in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned white, but he dared not lash out.
Everyone here is a big shot he can't afford to offend.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhuo, I was being presumptuous."
Lu Xingci forced a smile, then turned and left in a disheveled state.
When he reached the hotel parking lot, he lost his temper and kicked the door of the nanny van.
"What the hell!" he cursed through gritted teeth.
"So what if he has some weird skills? That old bastard Zhuo Hongyuan dares to treat me like this! And Shen Yu, what are you pretending to be so high and mighty for! Wait until I'm even more famous, then I'll see how I deal with you!"
He was seething with anger, with nowhere to vent it. With a gloomy face, he got into the nanny car and drove towards the luxury apartment that the company had arranged for him.
This apartment is located in the most bustling area of Beijing. It's a large, single-level apartment of over 200 square meters, luxuriously decorated, and with a wide view. It was specially arranged for Lu Xingci by his company after he became a sensation.
Back when he was still a relatively unknown artist, he and the other six members of the group squeezed into a small 80-square-meter house without even a proper practice room.
Now he lives alone in such a big house, and he has a nanny and assistant to take care of him.
Thinking of this, Lu Xingci felt a little better and got out of the car, striding towards the elevator.
As soon as I got to the elevator, I saw a familiar figure.
It was Su Mu, the leader of an idol group, back when he was still a nobody.
He was wearing a low-key denim jacket, carrying a guitar, and holding a cardboard box, about to press the elevator button.
He and Su Mu had never gotten along before, and seeing Su Mu now made Lu Xingci instantly angry.
He walked over and kicked Su Mu from behind. Su Mu stumbled, and the cardboard box he was holding fell to the ground, scattering the sheet music and CDs inside.
"Hey, isn't this Captain Su?"
Lu Xingci crossed his arms, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
"You used to be so arrogant, how come you look like a dog now?"
Su Mu raised her head and looked at him coldly: "Lu Xingci, pick up your things."
"Pick it up? Why should I?" Lu Xingci scoffed, stepping on a disc that Su Mu had burned himself, grinding it forcefully. "What's the use of keeping this garbage?"
"Those are mine!" Su Mu suddenly stood up, clenching her fists, her eyes bloodshot. "Lu Xingci, don't go too far!"
"Too much? I've got something even more outrageous to say!"
Lu Xingci reached out and snatched the guitar from Su Mu's back. He glanced at it, threw it on the ground, and stomped on the guitar with his foot.
With a snap, the guitar was smashed by someone stepping on it.
"You still keep this beat-up guitar?"
Lu Xingci looked down at Su Mu, his eyes filled with contempt.
"If it weren't for me, who would listen to these lousy songs you wrote? Do you really think you're talented?"
"Who was it back then? Who was it that cried in the practice room, saying they couldn't dance and begging me to teach them? Who was it that sang off-key, and I stayed up all night helping them revise their songs and correct their pronunciation? Who was it that cleaned up their messes time and time again? It was me!"
Su Mu's voice trembled slightly, carrying anger that had been suppressed for too long.
"Lu Xingci, what have I done to wrong you? Why are you treating me like this?"
"I'm sorry to me?" Lu Xingci thought he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"You always outdo me, and you only think of yourself when things go well. That's how you treat me! If I hadn't been lucky enough to become famous, I'd still be being bossed around by you!"
He leaned close to Su Mu's ear, lowered his voice, and said viciously:
"Let me tell you, Su Mu, this industry is that realistic. Whoever is popular is the boss. Right now, I'm a top star, and you're a piece of trash nobody wants. With just one word from me, no one in the entire entertainment industry will dare to hire you. You'll be destined to scavenge for a living for the rest of your life."
After saying that, he raised his hand and pushed Su Mu.
Su Mu lost her balance and staggered back a few steps, crashing into the wall, a sharp pain shooting through her back.
He looked at the broken guitar and CDs on the ground, and at Lu Xingci's smug and arrogant face, and finally his eyes couldn't help but redden.
Five years.
He worked hard for five whole years.
From having nothing to forming a boy band and becoming its leader, he poured his heart and soul into it.
He treated Lu Xingci like a brother, sharing all his knowledge and skills with him, and taking the blame for him countless times.
Unexpectedly, after Lu Xingci became an overnight sensation, he turned around and accused him of bullying him all these years.
They also fabricated various scandals about him and incited his fans to cyberbully him.
All the fame he had painstakingly built up was ruined. He became a despicable person hated by everyone, and his reputation was worse than a stinking ditch.
Everyone wants him to get out of the entertainment industry.
He came here today intending to plead with his agent to protect him and help him, based on his work over the years.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Lu Xingci here and was humiliated by him like this.
He really couldn't take it anymore.
"roll."
Su Mu lowered her head, gritting her teeth.
"What did you say?"
Lu Xingci seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. She raised an eyebrow, took a step forward, and stared down at him.
"Su Mu, say that again?"
"I told you to get lost!"
Su Mu suddenly raised her head, her eyes bloodshot as if they were about to bleed, and her pent-up emotions finally erupted at that moment.
The smile on Lu Xingci's face vanished instantly, and his eyes turned sinister.
