The assistant looked in the same direction as Tong Yu and saw Jin Xuyuan there, so he promptly stopped talking.
Jin Xuyuan and Tong Yu had never gotten along with each other. Although Jin Xuyuan was one of the top agents as well, none of his artists had become a superstar like Huo Xiang.
There was a huge gulf between Tong Yu and Jin Xuyuan.
Jin Xuyuan crossed his arms as he leaned against the door. After some time, he finally walked in slowly.
He strolled up to Tong Yu’s desk and sat on the edge before he flicked his fingers and looked sideways at Tong Yu. “What are you working on?”
Tong Yu leaned into his seat expressionlessly and said, “Aren’t you asking the obvious?”
Ever since Huo Xiang had gotten into the accident, Jin Xuyuan kept coming by the office. It was clear that Jin Xuyuan was here to gloat.
Jin Xuyuan did not get upset when Tong Yu spoke to him rudely. “Why the temper? If I didn’t know better, I would have thought Lucky was badly injured from the accident.”
Tong Yu glanced at Jin Xuyuan coldly without answering.
Jin Xuyuan smiled as he leaned further into the table and pretended to say softly. “I just saw all the terrible things they are saying online. I hope Lucky didn’t do anything stupid to jeopardize his career.”
After hearing what the assistant just said, Tong Yu naturally knew what Jin Xuyuan was driving at.
Tong Yu straightened his body and said with an ambiguous smile, “Well, you look very happy that Lucky is in trouble.”
To be honest, Jin Xuyuan was the first person he felt suspicious of the moment Huo Xiang got into an accident.
He had already asked for Jin Xuyuan to be investigated and was waiting for the report.
Jin Xuyuan replied candidly. “How can you say that? How can you malign me like this? Since I work in the same talent agency, I am on your side and care a lot about Lucky’s image as well. I just feel sorry for him now that this has happened.”
Tong Yu scoffed gently. “Cut it out already.”
Jin Xuyuan glanced at Tong Yu and asked. “How is Lucky? We are peers, so there is no need to hide the truth from me, right?”
“No comment.” Tong Yu pursed his lips and veered his eyes the moment he finished his sentence. It seemed as though he did not want Jin Xuyuan to know anything.
Jin Xuyuan sighed. “Fine. I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help, but it seems you don’t need my support.”
Tong Yu’s phone vibrated on the table. Someone was calling him.
Jin Xuyuan looked sideways at the phone screen. Before he could see the caller ID, Tong Yu picked up the phone.
“Please make yourself scarce,” said Tong Yu coldly to Jin Xuyuan without answering the phone.
Jin Xuyuan smiled as he put down his feet and slowly straightened out his shirt cuffs. He finally said kindly, “If you need help, my offer is always open.”
Tong Yu did not look at Jin Xuyuan. He was clearly on the verge of losing his patience.
Jin Xuyuan raised his brow and quickly left the office.
The assistant hurriedly walked up to the door and closed it.
Tong Yu waved to his assistant. “You may leave.”
The assistant nodded and left.
After the two of them had left his office, Tong Yu answered the phone. It was the private investigator calling.
“Okay. Let’s talk more when we meet in person.”
Before long, Tong Yu hung up the phone.
Judging from the investigator’s tone, he must have found something. Tong Yu opened his drawer to take his car keys and grabbed his jacket from the chair before heading out.
