Chapter 464

Not long after leaving the company, Fade Chen's cell phone rang. He looked at the cell phone, but it was an unfamiliar phone number. He paused for a moment, and then connected the phone, "Hi, hello, you are—"

Before Fade Chen could finish speaking, a hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Fade Chen? I'm Xie Xiaoyan, and Dongwei is going abroad. Can you come for the air ticket tonight?"

Hearing the words, Fade Chen immediately reacted. This Xie Xiaoyan is Huo Dongwei's best friend and classmate, and Fade Chen had dinner with them last time.

Hearing that Huo Dongwei was going abroad, Fade Chen immediately said, "Where are you? I'll come right over."

Xie Xiaoyan said: "I'm on the side of Yihuan Road Food Street, Michelin Western Restaurant."

Fade Chen hung up the phone, and then quickly drove towards the Michelin restaurant in the food street.

Just after parking the car at the entrance of the restaurant, Fade Chen saw an anxious Xie Xiaoyan walking over, "Fade Chen, you are here!"

Fade Chen didn't exchange pleasantries. He walked side by side with Xie Xiaoyan and asked at the same time, "Did something happen to Sister Wei? Why did you suddenly want to go abroad?"

Xie Xiaoyan sighed softly, glanced at Fade Chen, and couldn't help but think of what happened some time ago.

That time, Fade Chen and the two of them went to the class reunion together. After returning, Xie Xiaoyan tested Huo Dongwei's feelings for Fade Chen. But in the end, it was discovered that Fade Chen was married.

As a result, Huo Dongwei's newly sprouted feelings were hit hard at once, and she was decadent for several days.

Later, Huo Dongwei turned her mind to her career. He took on a lot of work at once, and was going to use the busy work to numb himself and make himself forget the feelings in his heart.

Although Xie Xiaoyan felt sorry for her best friend, she also knew that Huo Dongwei needed to get out of that relationship.

Originally, their idea was good, but they didn't expect it. After starting to work, Huo Dongwei's career did not go smoothly. Clients and brokerage companies said that she is not popular enough, not well-known, and she is low-priced and ridiculed. In short, she is slowly not paying attention to her.

As a result, these things caused a lot of conflicts, which made Huo Dongwei's work unsatisfactory. Especially the recent contract issue with the brokerage company made Huo Dongwei even more upset, and she didn't have the mood to work at all.

The emotional wounds haven't healed yet, but the troubles at work hit again, and Huo Dongwei's pressure was doubled, and she almost collapsed.

In the end, Huo Dongwei couldn't stand this kind of life, so she suddenly decided to give up her acting career and study abroad.

And she didn't notify Xie Xiaoyan until she was about to leave today, and let her have the last farewell meal together. As for Fade Chen, Huo Dongwei naturally didn't tell him because of the emotional problem in his heart.

Xie Xiaoyan sensed Huo Dongwei's thoughts and knew that she was going abroad now, and she didn't really want to study abroad at all. It's a helpless way to escape the pressures of work and relationships.

If you can't solve these things head-on, if you just avoid them, you won't solve the fundamental problems at all. Besides, Xie Xiaoyan didn't support Huo Dongwei's giving up her acting career.

So, in this situation, Xie Xiaoyan thought of Fade Chen. I want him to untie Huo Dongwei's knot and help her persuade her to stay.

These experiences and thoughts flashed through her mind, and Xie Xiaoyan immediately told Fade Chen about Huo Dongwei's current situation.

Of course, Xie Xiaoyan didn't say anything about feelings directly, but only said that Huo Dongwei had emotional troubles.

After hearing this, Fade Chen sank slightly, and quickly followed Xie Xiaoyan into the restaurant.

Huo Dongwei arrived first and saw Xie Xiaoyan approaching. He couldn't help waving his hand and saying hello, "Xiaoyan, here—"

As a result, when Huo Dongwei saw Chen Fei who walked in with Xie Xiaoyan, her complexion changed, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched a little, a smile flashed, and then quickly turned into a low-pitched mournful expression.

Xie Xiaoyan sat down with a smile, and said to Huo Dongwei: "Weiwei, I was outside just now and happened to meet Fade Chen, so I asked him to come with me."

Huo Dongwei knew in her heart that such a coincidence must have been deliberately arranged by Xie Xiaoyan. But she didn't tell the truth, she just nodded lightly, and then smiled at Fade Chen: "Xiao Chen, you're here, sit down."

Although Huo Dongwei's smile was still gentle and polite, Fade Chen felt a different kind of alienation from it. That's a sense of distance that wasn't there before.

Suddenly, Fade Chen couldn't help feeling pain in his heart, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he sat down anyway.

Immediately, the three ordered some western food, and chatted while eating.

"Sister Wei, do you really want to go abroad? Can't the company's affairs be resolved through negotiation?" Fade Chen asked aloud.

Huo Dongwei lowered her eyebrows, sighed softly, and then said: "My popularity has dropped sharply now, and I have reached the level of the middle reaches of the second tier. The company is dissatisfied with my treatment and wants me to change a contract. A higher share, but lower treatment. I don’t want to agree to such a condition.”

After hearing this, Fade Chen couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation, "They will praise it if it becomes popular, but if it doesn't, they will make trouble. How can there be such a thing."

Huo Dongwei shook his head and said, "This is how the entertainment industry works."

Fade Chen frowned again and said, "Sister Wei, why don't you just leave the company and go out on your own. Don't many celebrities come out and start their own studios now?"

Huo Dongwei explained: "It's not that I haven't thought about this, it's just that I'm not good at handling these affairs at all, and asking me to manage various ideas in the studio and negotiate business with businessmen is simply more uncomfortable than killing me .Secondly, my contract with the company is still three years away, and if I do not agree to sign a new contract, it is impossible for the company to terminate the contract and let me leave."

"Is there no other way?" Fade Chen said.

Huo Dongwei shook his head, and said, "Forget it. Anyway, I've had enough of this muddy water in the entertainment industry. Going abroad now can be regarded as a vacation for myself, so I can relax."

When Xie Xiaoyan heard this, she persuaded her reluctantly: "Dongwei, you have loved acting since you were a child. After graduating from the Academy of Film and Television, you have worked your way up to the present. Finally, you are in this position. Do you really want to give up?"

Huo Dongwei couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, a different light flashed in his eyes. In the end, he shook his head and said to Xie Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, I know you are doing it for my own good. However, I really don't want to continue to intrigue with them now, I am too tired!"

When Xie Xiaoyan heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say. After all, if she could persuade her, she had already said it before. So, at this moment, she could only look at Fade Chen for help.
