CEO's Sweetheart is a Super Idol-Chapter 442 - 434: Degenerate Fans

Shenghai, a luxury villa

Night gradually covered the light, and the last rays of the setting sun in the western sky were reflected in a pale blue hue.

"Time’s up, you should head back."

"Ugh, so annoying, why does time fly by so quickly?"

Lv Fangxin sat on the soft Persian rug, gazing at the vanishing sunset outside the window.

"Fangxin, two years from now, sign with my company! I’ll make you a big star."

"I’d love to, but my current company signed an eight-year film contract with Penguin."

Lv Fangxin revealed her business secret.

Chen Yinghan was stunned: "Your film contract is with Penguin? When did you sign that?"

"I signed it after the first public performance, and it also includes a revenue-sharing agreement." Lv Fangxin explained the details of her contract to her friend.

"Your contract technically belongs to ’Art Vision’ company, though I’ve never heard of that company."

"That company is just my old company, they changed the name."

"No, a name change for a company often involves a lot of things. The ownership structure of your company seems unusual."

Chen Yinghan couldn’t shake a vague sense that something wasn’t right for her friend.

"Forget it, I don’t want to dwell on it anymore. For now, my priority is to secure a few good acting roles."

"That’s a smart move. As long as you make a mark in acting, Penguin will value you."

"Yinghan, I used to resent how Sister Yezi and the others treated themselves like merchandise, but not anymore."

Chen Yinghan chuckled: "In essence, we are merchandise, but we can also turn into masters."

"If you were my master, I’d obediently follow you for a lifetime." Lv Fangxin gently snuggled into her friend’s embrace.

"You can just be my little kitten."

"Little kittens can be quite mischievous."

"Then let me see just how mischievous you are."

The spacious bedroom burst into joyful laughter.

What could compare to the joy of good friends spending time together?

No one knew how much time had passed. Hair disheveled, Lv Fangxin reluctantly got up: "Yinghan, I have to go now."

When Lv Fangxin stepped out, she had applied light makeup, and her hair and face looked neatly groomed.

Just as Chen Yinghan was about to leave, Lv Fangxin stopped her: "Yinghan, I want to give you this."

"Huh!"

The latter took it and saw that it was an intricately folded letter, emitting a fragrant aroma.

Upon opening it, inside was a maple leaf with its tips as red as flames.

"When I was back home, I loved wandering through the mountains, especially the maple trees up there."

"Today, when I passed by the park, I saw the maple leaves had turned red, so I picked one and brought it back."

"Look, doesn’t it resemble the fiery passion of our friendship in its youth?"

Chen Yinghan fought the urge to hug her friend, her eyes glimmering with tears: "Fangxin, we’ll be best friends for life."

"Yinghan, I’ll be busy with schedules for a while and might not be able to visit."

"I’ll come find you when I have time."

"It’s so sad. Who knows when we’ll have another magical time like this?"

Lv Fangxin lowered her eyelids, gently kicking the pebbles on the ground.

"I feel the same. I wish I could see you anytime, anywhere..."

"Yinghan, remember to video call me on WeChat."

"Of course. You need to call me often, too."

"Make sure to buckle your seatbelt while in the car... Goodbye."

Though reluctant, wearing an autumn British schoolgirl outfit, Lv Fangxin got into the Maserati her friend had arranged for her.

As Chen Yinghan stared at the empty pebble path, unease suddenly crept into her heart.

She couldn’t pinpoint the reason, but the feeling was genuinely unsettling.

Even though they had been cautious, meticulous, even employing preventive measures.

What they didn’t know was that a drone was overhead, filming them.

A street away, Li Ke was sitting inside a van, watching what looked like scenes from a drama.

"What a pity, I only have these images that can’t be used as solid evidence. How am I supposed to capture something impactful between them?"

Li Ke took a big gulp of cola, leaned his head back against the chair, and racked his brain.

He had no respect for those so-called "sasaengs." Compared to what he was doing now, those people were nothing more than child’s play.

"This Chen Yinghan is really wealthy, with an exceptionally strong sense of vigilance."

Li Ke had considered disguising himself as a repairman or telecom worker to place surveillance devices at her house.

He’d even contemplated hacking her home’s security and monitoring systems.

But later, he realized he was just being overly influenced by television dramas.

First off, if Chen Yinghan’s home truly needed such services, they’d make appointments.

Only pre-approved personnel would be allowed in to handle issues, and there would always be someone supervising them.

As for hacking into the monitoring systems, her equipment certainly wasn’t the standard gear found in regular households.

Additionally, security experts regularly conducted comprehensive checks on her property.

Li Ke knew he wasn’t 007, so he pondered alternative ways to achieve his goals.

Flower City

Su Xiaoya and Xiao Li had just stepped off the train.

During this season, there weren’t many travelers, and the two smoothly arrived at the exit.

Once outside, the air seemed to turn fresh again.

"Xiao Ya, this is Xiao Ning’s first solo fan meet-and-greet," Xiao Li said excitedly, lugging a large suitcase.

"Haha! Tomorrow we’ll be shouting ourselves hoarse." Su Xiaoya, holding a branded little purse, had a spring in her step.

"Tonight, we’re even staying in the room right next to Xiao Ning’s!" Xiao Li’s chubby face was full of smugness.

She had used some tricks to obtain Xiao Ning’s room number and booked theirs in advance.

"Ugh, Xiao Ning’s company is so awful, hosting his debut event in such a shabby city," Xiao Li grumbled as she struggled to lift her suitcase.

"There’s a reason for it. The local TV station invited Xiao Ning onto a variety program," Su Xiaoya explained.

"Later, they even asked him to be the cultural ambassador for an opening ceremony event, so the debut showcase was arranged here."

"Xiao Ya, when did you find out?" Xiao Li was completely shocked, and a little bothered inside.

"Just now. A friend of mine sent me a message on WeChat," Su Xiaoya replied.

"Why would Xiao Ning’s team keep such good news under wraps? These decisions aren’t made at the last minute!"

"Xiao Ning’s quite famous now. If fans found out he recorded a program here, what would happen?"

Xiao Li froze for a moment: "They’d definitely be furious and accuse the company of mismanagement, complaining about choosing such a lousy show for his debut!"

"Also, did you know there’s an important sports event happening in this city this year?"

"I didn’t. I don’t watch sports!"

Xiao Li’s response made Su Xiaoya want to roll her eyes, but the latter quickly added: "At least you understand the event’s influence."

Su Xiaoya nodded:

"Exactly. Xiao Ning wants to land the lead role in the film promoting this event."

"Even though movies like this might not do well at the box office, it can enhance reputation and status within the industry."

"That’s why Xiao Ning doesn’t want fans targeting the local TV station."

"You know there are way too many young fans now, and most of them don’t understand such matters."

Xiao Li couldn’t help but admire: "Our brother is always thinking things through so thoroughly!"
