41: Chapter 42 Scandal (4)
——However, the only lasting effect was that before he left, Yin Maohui specifically pulled Yu Zexiao aside into his office and reiterated three times over: he absolutely must not fall in love, let alone get married suddenly!
Of course, scandals arranged by the company were not included in this prohibition.
When Yu Zexiao joined the company, he had signed what is called “The Singlehood Contract,” which stipulated that if he breached it, he would have to pay a substantial sum in damages.
Being an idol singer, many young girls really cared about whether he was single or not.
Although he knew he was far from being a true idol, at least if he had no partner, he would still be a fantasy for someone.
In the nanny van, Yu Zexiao, wearing an eye mask and stuffing earplugs into his ears, lay on the seat to rest.
By his side, Jian Anning was sitting with her head bowed, looking at the drama script for Yu Zexiao’s TV show.
“Rock Youth” could be said to have been tailor-made for Yu Zexiao, a youth idol inspirational TV series.
The protagonist is intelligent and proud, with a passion for music.
His father, the mayor, wants him to follow in his footsteps and disapproves of his musical aspirations.
So, the protagonist breaks away from his family and starts a band with a group of friends, struggling and enjoying the pursuit of their dream.
It wasn’t just the content; the protagonist’s personality, family setting, and background were practically a carbon copy of Yu Zexiao’s own life.
Essentially, this guy just needed to learn his lines and then play the part naturally.
As for the female lead, she’s the drummer in the band, from an ordinary family background.
Starting off as bittersweet frenemies, they gradually fall in love over time, and, of course, end up together despite numerous obstacles.
It’s youthful, inspirational, and pristinely pure, with the most intimate scenes in the entire show limited to a few hugs and kisses.
The company had already arranged for these scenes to be performed by a stand-in.
——Yu Zexiao was reluctant to engage in any unnecessary physical contact.
Though it was a TV series, the project was definitely high-budget and high-production.
Besides the lead actors being Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi, the director was a renowned film director, and the production had pulled in substantial efforts, even including investors from the United States.
Moreover, the show was to be filmed and broadcasted simultaneously, involving the most elite scriptwriting team from within Huaxia Country, aspiring to produce a television series with the big-screen effect of a movie.

The car soon arrived at the hotel where they would be staying.
Welcoming them was Jiang Xuanqi.
Furthermore, she was the one Yin Maohui had instructed to be involved in the fabricated scandal with Yu Zexiao.
Jiang Xuanqi had debuted several years ago, taking the fresh idol route with an innocent image.
Initially, she played the second or third female lead in quite a few hit idol dramas.
With her beautiful appearance and sweet temperament, she was constantly getting roles in films and commercials.
This time, Starlight Entertainment wanted to spread a scandal about the two of them, firstly, to boost the TV series’ popularity, and secondly, to promote her.
But what’s more important was — to use this gossip to dilute the impact of last night’s incident of Yu Zexiao getting into a fight.
Actually, while celebrities might appear glamorous on the outside, all sorts of rumors circulate privately.
Stories of fighting over a woman out of jealousy, getting married today and divorcing tomorrow are all pretty normal.
However, no one expected this incident with Yu Zexiao to explode the way it did, with that Weibo post being pushed to the top with a hundred thousand comments in just two hours!
Even though Mo Siyu later came out to “clarify” the situation, today’s top news search was still about last night’s event.
No comments, no favorites, not even the energy to update—
