âYou saw it with your own eyes just now. The scar on Xu Wangzhiâs face has recovered,â Director Cheng said. âThis injury wasnât as serious as they made it out to be. Itâs only right for you to make a comeback. Itâs just that this matter has caused a lot of public opinion. I have a friend whoâs very familiar with Mayor Xu. Heâll introduce Mayor Xu to us in two days. In a few days, itâll be the cityâs cultural celebration. Mayor Xu will be attending. At that time, you can show your face at the event and say a few words to Mayor Xu. Thatâll be the first step in your comeback.â
Chengyu was filled with confidence when he heard his fatherâs words.
If he made a comeback by Mayor Xuâs side, who would dare to say anything? Even Su Zhuoqian had to give Mayor Xu some face, right?
In the private roomâ¦
Mayor Xu raised his glass and clinked it with Qiao Weiyangâs. âWangzhi, this child, is determined to survive in the entertainment industry. Itâs all thanks to you taking care of him these few times. His mother and I are here to give you a toast.â
âMayor Xu, youâre too kind. Wangzhi and I are friends to begin with, and heâs Aunt Linâs student. Itâs only right for us to take care of each other.â
The three of them raised their glasses and drank together.
Mayor Xu and Madam Xu thanked Lu Mingjue and Tao Huan as well.
âBy the way, thereâs a cultural celebration in two days. Weiyang, you and your friends should be attending, right?â Mayor Xu asked.
âYes, I plan on going. I also want to publicize Stalker at the event.â
âAlright, get Brother Tang to contact them. Iâll arrange for someone to help you with the publicity.â
Xu Wangzhi smiled. âDad, this is the first time youâve helped me promote my work. This means that youâve officially acknowledged my profession, right?â
âIâm acknowledging Weiyang, not you!â Mayor Xu said angrily.
Xu Wangzhi muttered to himself, âAm I really his biological son?â
In the blink of an eye, the cityâs cultural celebration was held.
Related cultural projects would receive wide publicity at the event.
Many fans knew that Stalker would also do publicity at the event and had been looking forward to it.
Especially Qiao Weiyangâs and Xu Wangzhiâs fans.
This was Qiao Weiyangâs first time investing independently and filming a movie. It was another start in her career.
On the other hand, Xu Wangzhi had filmed with an injury, which made the fansâ hearts ache. They looked forward to the success of this work and seeing how it would be worthy of his efforts.
In addition, there was also a group of fans who had already started preparing for the event.
They were Chengyuâs fans.
The news of Chengyuâs comeback had long spread throughout the fan circle.
Everyone felt that his comeback was a sure bet. After all, Xu Wangzhiâs face had recovered. Chengyu did not need to pay such a huge price. He had already endured enough for the past few months.
The big fans also secretly told everyone to prepare for his return.
The support items were also ready.
At the event location, Qiao Weiyang and Xu Wangzhi appeared together.
Seeing that there were many signs with Chengyuâs name among the crowd, Qiao Weiyang frowned slightly.
Brother Tang quickly said, âIâve quietly asked around. Chengyu wants to make a comeback this time.â
âSo, Director Cheng is not making good on his promise, huh?â It was rare for Qiao Weiyang to curse.
âThatâs what I think too. But the outside world is quite supportive of him, especially after knowing that Wangzhiâs face has recoveredâ¦â Brother Tang was helpless.
âWangzhiâs face is fine because of me. But Wangzhiâs injury was caused by Chengyu!â
âForget it. If they could realize this logic, they wouldnât be supporting Chengyu,â Xu Wangzhi advised.
Xu Wangzhi seemed to be a generous man.
Sure enough, not long after, Director Cheng and Chengyu appeared at the event location.
Chengyu waved at the fans.
The fans screamed especially loudly. They hadnât seen him in months and really missed him.
They had been eagerly waiting for his comeback.
âDad, Iâm sure I can make a comeback today, right?â
Director Cheng said, âWhen my friend comes over, youâll get to say a few words to Mayor Xu before getting interviewed by the reporters. Thereâs basically no problem.â
All channels had been prepared.
Arrangements had also been made with the reporters.
As long as the response was not bad, Cheng Yu could join the cast and film.
âHello, Secretary Tang. This is my son, Cheng Yu.â Director Cheng saw a middle-aged man and immediately greeted him.
âHello, Secretary Tang.â
Secretary Tang nodded indifferently. âDirector Cheng, Iâll go look for Mayor Xu first. Iâll get Chengyu to come over later.â
âOkay, thank you, Secretary Tang.â Director Cheng had to bow down in front of Secretary Tang.
In front of true power, his identity as a big shot director meant nothing.
Chengyuâs eyes were filled with longing. He had left the glamorous entertainment industry for a few months and could not wait to come back.
Secretary Tang arrived at Mayor Xuâs side.
Xu Wangzhi and Qiao Weiyang were walking over.
Secretary Tang stopped them. âWhere are you going?â
This was the only way to Mayor Xuâs lounge. Many people wanted to come over, but it was naturally impossible for just anyone to go in.
Did Qiao Weiyang and Xu Wangzhi think they could go in just because of their identities?
Secretary Tang recognized Xu Wangzhi. It was originally impossible for him to know Xu Wangzhi since he didnât pay attention to the entertainment industry. However, Director Cheng and Chengyu had mentioned Xu Wangzhiâs name too frequently these days. He had long gotten to know Xu Wangzhi and Qiao Weiyang.
Xu Wangzhi looked at the person in front of him and frowned. âIâm looking for someone.â
âDonât go in this direction. Go look elsewhere.â Secretary Tang looked him up and down. Could it be that he knew that Chengyu was looking for Mayor Xu today, so he wanted to get close to Mayor Xu first?
âIâve already made an appointment.â
âThis isnât a place for you.â Secretary Tang blocked him.
Xu Wangzhi glanced at Qiao Weiyang, who said calmly, âThen letâs go to the event location and wait.â
Xu Wangzhi had no objections and went out with Qiao Weiyang.
A moment later, Mayor Xu walked out with many people around him.
Secretary Tang immediately went up to him. âMayor Xu, everything is ready outside. Weâre just waiting for you to head over.â
Mayor Xu nodded. He didnât see Xu Wangzhi. He glanced around and walked forward.
Secretary Tang and the others followed.
A group of people sat in the front row.
Director Cheng and Chengyu couldnât help but look excited when they saw Mayor Xu.
Secretary Tang was close to them. He glanced at them, and Chengyu made an âOKâ gesture.
The reporters had already made arrangements. As long as Chengyu appeared with Mayor Xu, his comeback would not be a problem.
Even if the people outside questioned why he made a comeback in such a short period of time, it was impossible for it to cause too much of a problem considering Director Chengâs reputation.
Qiao Weiyangâs and Xu Wangzhiâs seats were not specially arranged. They were far from Mayor Xuâs seat.
It seemed that it would not be easy for them to come into contact with Mayor Xu, who was surrounded by people.
