Chapter 8: Lone Wolf Walking Alone
**If I lie to you, will you forgive me?
**Yes, because I know you like me.
Jiang Qi was called out by Shen Lei with a phone call and was half-forced to the film set to watch an audition. The young man just crawled out of bed, got ready with a simple wash, and went out. When he huddled in the back seat of the car, there was a sleepy look all over him.
His jet-black, slightly long hair fell onto his forehead, and the way it drooped over his eyelids made him look like a prince charming who could evoke sympathy.
Shen Lei turned around and took a glance, feeling that Jiang Qi’s hair seemed to have grown a lot—fourteen months ago when he picked him up at the prison gate, the young man had a short crew cut, and now it had grown this long.
However, this nonchalant appearance…
Shen Lei tentatively asked, “Haven’t checked your phone?”
Now, everywhere on the forums, people were discussing the two characters ‘Jiang Qi,’ creating a buzz that never seemed to end. Unless the characters ‘Jiang’ and ‘Qi’ were expelled from the Chinese dictionary, there was no way to completely erase the negative discussions.
Moreover, Jiang Qi didn’t have a signed contract with any company, no backing. Who would help him hire an online army to counter the negativity? It was already good enough that he didn’t take advantage of the situation to throw more stones. The heavy suppression of the negative trends felt like a shackle, making Shen Lei uncomfortable just looking at it. So, he decided to take the opportunity to call Jiang Qi out and help him relax a bit.
