Chapter 53: Regardless of Top Stars, All People Are Equal!
"what……"
A scream, not loud, but filled with panic!
On the luxurious hotel bed, Zheng Shuang abruptly pulled the silk quilt over herself, her face drained of color. The arrogant, top-tier aura she had displayed on set vanished, replaced by terror.
Beside her was Li Yifeng, the actor who played the male lead in "Gu Jian". He was a beat too slow and couldn't get any cover. He hurriedly grabbed the pants from the bedside and put them on. Then he glared angrily at the uninvited guest at the door - Xu Lang.
"Xu Lang, who...who let you into my room? Get out!" Li Yifeng was practically going crazy.
Such secret "on-set romances" are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but it's the first time one has been caught red-handed.
This kind of fright could potentially leave a psychological scar.
"Okay!" Xu Lang smiled wickedly and turned to leave.
"Wait, stop right there!" Zheng Shuang said, clearly displeased.
His tense eyes darted around quickly, and he called out to Xu Lang.
The incident at noon has strained their relationship. If he leaves now, this matter will definitely be trending on Weibo tomorrow.
Her team planned to write a story after she broke up with her boyfriend, using the Xinjiang celebrity as a scapegoat to portray her boyfriend as someone who couldn't resist temptation and cheated.
But now her affair has been discovered...
"Xu Lang, you can't leave!"
She wouldn't allow this to leak out.
Xu Lang stopped and turned to look at Zheng Shuang, his smile widening as if to say, "You guessed what I was thinking."
"Should I... leave, or stay?"
"Don't leave, you can't leave!" Zheng Shuang said urgently, her heart pounding with anxiety as she saw Xu Lang's knowing expression.
She couldn't afford the consequences of a collapsed reputation. Even if she forced a public relations campaign to deny it, her career would be severely damaged. The thought of those exorbitant brand breach of contract penalties made her scalp tingle.
"Turn around, turn around first!"
Xu Lang rushed to use the "data" from his previous life to negotiate with her, but unexpectedly, someone delivered a pillow just when he was sleepy.
What a wonderful surprise!
I heard the sound of two people quickly getting dressed behind me.
Li Yifeng's selection of concubines has never changed in its true nature. The signs of this have already begun to emerge, but they will only be revealed in the following years.
Everything has a traceable pattern.
A moment later!
Zheng Shuang came to his side, sat on the sofa, and tried to remain calm, but her eyes had lost their sharpness.
Li Yifeng also sat down beside her with a somber face, the atmosphere heavy:
"Xu Lang, how did you get in?"
Xu Lang sat down and brewed himself some tea. The aroma of the tea wafted out, but it couldn't mask the unpleasant odor in the room.
"Teacher Li, I came here to invite you to go see Teacher Zheng Shuang together, but you didn't seem willing, so I had to tell a little lie to the front desk and trick them into giving me the room key."
"You should have known what Teacher Zheng wanted me to do all along, right? I thought you weren't willing to comply because you wanted to show your devotion to Dilraba, but I never imagined that Teacher Zheng was the real reason."
He originally intended to drag Li Yifeng along to make things difficult for him; however, he also anticipated that Li Yifeng might not open the door for him, which is why he tricked Li Yifeng into giving him a room key the day before yesterday.
Since they were all from the same production crew, the receptionist didn't think much of it.
But it gave Xu Lang a big surprise.
They had just finished work and returned home, and the two couldn't wait to get together. They must have been incredibly thirsty.
"Xu Lang, you're shameless!" Li Yifeng suddenly raised his voice, pointing at him:
"What right do you have to enter my room? This is an invasion of my privacy! I can sue you!"
Xu Lang took a sip of tea and gestured for him to proceed.
"Teacher Li, I admit that I violated your privacy. You should sue me if you want."
"However, I think the media will be very interested in the factual statement section in court. At that time, I will definitely apologize to you sincerely in front of all the cameras. I just don't know if Weibo's servers can handle the traffic that day?"
"Shut up!" Zheng Shuang glared at Li Yifeng!
Li Yifeng is not very famous in the film and television industry, so even if he suffers a setback now, it will not have much impact on him.
But he was a top celebrity at the height of his fame, and if this matter were exposed, it would affect his relationship with his girlfriend whom he hadn't broken up with yet.

Similar headlines are sure to make headlines, and the staff behind Weibo will have to work overtime again.
Her career will inevitably plummet, and all the brands and film projects she has collaborated with will lose money.
The price she had to pay was enormous, transforming her from a small-time rich woman to a heavily indebted one.
She can't accept it!
The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became, and she said:
"Xu Lang, what do you want?"
Xu Lang leisurely sipped his tea, unhurriedly turning to look at her:
"Teacher Zheng, it should be your idea!"
Zheng Shuang's lips trembled, and he remained silent for a moment:
"From now on, I will no longer make things difficult for you with the crew, nor will I ask you to do me that favor; from now on, we'll go our separate ways."
Xu Lang frowned and said:
"Teacher Zheng, you scared my friend at noon, and it also caused me some emotional distress; and you just said 'everywhere is fine, let's go our separate ways' and that's it?"
"Do you think that just because you're a top influencer, you'll always be on the right side? That not caring about others is a favor you do them?"
Shuangzi values money extremely, and she is self-righteous and egocentric. This stems from the arrogance of a top star and her inherent nature.
But Xu Lang is not someone to be trifled with!
You don't care, but I do!
It's not about being a top celebrity, but about equality for all!
Zheng Shuang became a top star with one drama. He is very arrogant and is usually pampered by everyone. He always does what he says and will lose his temper if he is not satisfied.
That's someone who spoils her; Xu Lang doesn't.
"Xu Lang, I've already let it go, what more do you want?"
Her voice suddenly rose, like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, a little agitated, and a little self-righteous.
Xu Lang remained unmoved and calmly said:
"compensation!"
"You..." Zheng Shuang was furious, her body trembling slightly.
"Xu Lang, putting aside the facts, don't you have any faults at all?"
"Putting aside the facts?" Xu Lang was taken aback. Why did that sound so familiar? He recovered and said firmly:
"I can't let it go. I had no intention of having anything to do with you. You were the one who started the trouble. What did I do wrong?"
Zheng Shuang gritted his teeth, yet was helpless. His breathing became rapid, his chest heaving, and he said:
"Fine, Xu Lang, you're young and reckless, risking your reputation—I guess I'm out of luck; but if you want my money, forget about it!"
He paused, pondering for a moment:
"I can compensate you with resources; I'll help you get a supporting role as the second male lead..."
Xu Lang remained expressionless, leisurely sipping his tea, seemingly oblivious to what he had heard, or perhaps dissatisfied.
Zheng Shuang was very unhappy and stammered:
"The second male lead isn't good enough? Xu Lang, don't go too far... The male lead, the male lead of the whole drama, if you still don't accept it, then go ahead and expose it. It's a lose-lose situation!"
Xu Lang stood up, glanced around, and saw a small notebook and a pen on the small table next to him. He picked them up and wrote a few lines.
He handed it to Zheng Shuang, pointing to the blank space in the lower right corner:
"Words are no proof; let's put it in writing. Teacher Zheng, please sign your name and leave your fingerprint. I'm afraid you, a distinguished person, might forget things."
Zheng Shuang narrowed his eyes, staring at the words on the paper for a long time, gritting his teeth, his teeth itching with hatred.
You really have no manners at all!
But with his nonchalant attitude, he's just a newcomer with no reputation, and who knows, he might actually expose himself one day.
She chose to compromise!
Sign the papers quickly.
"Handprint!"
"No ink pad!"
"Lipstick, your lipstick!"
Zheng Shuang was extremely reluctant, but she still took out her lipstick, applied it to her finger, and pressed it onto her signature.
Xu Lang took out another piece of paper, wrote the same words, but changed the name, and handed it to Li Yifeng:
"Teacher Li, is this yours?"
Li Yifeng was stunned: "I have to sign too?"
Xu Lang smiled slightly, his tone gentle yet undeniably authoritative:
"Of course, everyone who sees it gets a share; both teachers are committed to fairness."
