Top Star: Journey To Become A Global Star - Chapter 289

Chapter 289. Return to Beijing (2)

The next day,

As the official shooting was already finished, there was no need to stay at Hengdian anymore. There was the shooting for the special episode left, but it would be filmed in Beijing.

Moreover, the meeting to discuss his album with Starlights was also going to happen soon and he needed to prepare for the album.

There was also the promotions for «Slayers» that would begin after the trailer would release.

It will start from Beijing and then, the whole cast would travel to different places like Shanghai and Jianghu.

But before all this, Ren needed a break.

He was tired after shooting for months and wanted to spend more time with his family. That’s why, just a day after the shooting, Ren flew over to Beijing.

His arrival was kept a secret. That’s why, no media reporter or paparazzi was on the airport.

Ren was even wearing caps, sunglasses and a mask – the three items that would hide the identity of celebrities in public places.

With all this, no one recognised him at the airport!

“Where’s Chief Jiang?”

Standing in the airport lobby, Ren looked around, trying to find Jiang Wan who was going to come pick him up today.

“Maybe he’s late. The traffic is too much anyway.”

White bear said, standing next to Ren. He was holding the luggage in one hand and for some reason, he was also wearing sunglasses.

Ren thought that it was odd and decided to ask about it.

“Why are you wearing sunglasses?”

“Ah, well, people sometimes recognise me if I don’t. So, now it became a habit.”

“They do?”

Ren tilted his head and asked. White bear nodded his head with a gloomy expression on his face and explained.

“Somehow, people started recognising me as your manager after ‘Movie making’. I thought they would stop after a while, but it still hasn’t stopped. Apparently, I’m now one of those ‘Star managers’ that even appear on reality TV shows.”

Movie making was White bear’s first appearance on a reality TV show and he has done it without thinking anything, but he was still handling it’s consequences.

Ren felt that it was surprisingly and by White bear’s expression, he figured out that he don’t like being famous much.

Feeling curious about it, he opened his mouth to ask.

“You don’t like being famous?”

“Well, it’s not that I completely hate it, but…”

“But?”

White bear scratched his chin before continuing.

“It’s just gets annoying sometimes. Sometime ago, I went to a ice cream parlour, but people recognised me quickly as I was not wearing sunglasses. Before I knew it, they surrounded me and started asking questions about you. Some even thought that you were there with me… It was just a mess!”

White bear frowned a bit, thinking about that appearance. He was really scared that day and the worst part was that he wasn’t even able to buy his favourite ice cream.

“You went through a lot of trouble.”

Ren smiled awkwardly and said. He was feeling bad for White bear, but getting famous was always like this.

“Yeah, I even talked with Director Zhao for a solution.”

White bear suddenly said and Ren tilted his head and asked.

“What did he say?”

“He asked me if I want to change my profession to an entertainer.”

He said while shaking his head, but Ren burst out in laughter. As they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard a shout.

“Ren! White bear!”

Both of them turned their heads and saw a person coming towards them. It was Jiang Wan who was smiling and waving his hand.

“Chief Jiang!”

They went towards him and Jiang Wan apologised, saying that there was too much traffic and because of that, he was late.

After that, they didn’t stayed standing on the airport for long and quickly put their luggage in Jiang Wan’s van. They got up on the van and Ren finally took a deep breath.

“Huuh.”

It was like he was releasing all the stress he had acc.u.mulated in Hengdian.

‘I would go and sleep for two days.’

Ren thought and looked outside the window. He was in Beijing after some months, but there was not much change.

As he was thinking about lazing around in his home, Jiang Wan suddenly dropped a bomb.

“Oh yeah, the CEO wants to see you.”

“Eh?”

Ren turned his head at a rapid speed hearing that and looked at Jiang Wan with an absurd expression on his face.

“CEO Xu wants to see me? Why?”

“How would I know what goes through CEO Xu’s mind? I’m just a mere Chief who was told to bring you back to the company.”

Jiang Wan said and shrugged his shoulders. He then started focusing on driving while Ren fell into thoughts.

‘Why does she want to see me?’

Ren thought, but there can be too many reasons behind her calling him.

It can be that she just wanted to meet him as it’s been sometime since they had talked, but she won’t call him straightway after he had landed in Beijing if that was the case.

There must be something urgent.

‘Is it about «Slayers»? Or the special episode? Or does she want to talk about my album?’

Ren thought about a lot of things, but there was only person who can give him the right answer and that was CEO Xu.

* * *

“I just got the message that he had landed. They are now on their way here.”

Director Zhao said and turned to look at CEO Xu who was looking outside the window with an unknown expression on her face.

CEO Xu was always like this – cold and mysterious.

“Good.”

She just said a single word and turned back to walk towards her leather chair. She sat down and Director Zhao again opened his mouth.

“What do you want to talk to him about? Is it really that urgent? Ren must be tired since he have just came back-”

“I just wanted to talk to him about something. It’s nothing much.”

Director Zhao didn’t felt that it was nothing much. There must be a good reason that CEO Xu was calling Ren here, but he didn’t ask much as he knew he won’t get any answer.

He just glanced outside the window and shook his head.
