106: Chapter 106 The Disabled CEO's Benefactor 3

Coincidentally, his career had also reached a Bottleneck, so Lu Zhan posted on Weibo, announcing his temporary withdrawal from the entertainment industry to pursue further studies at the prestigious Sheng Lunya University.

Once the news broke, it immediately topped the trending searches, causing an uproar in half the entertainment industry, while fans wailed in grief.

Manager Wang Fang was infuriated by his lack of ambition; failing to develop his career while at the peak of his popularity and instead disappearing from the public eye was simply self-sabotaging his future.

However, the decision was already made and difficult to change. Further talk was useless, and in the end, she could only helplessly comply with him.

But Manager Wang Fang's heart was full of regret; stars in the entertainment industry were replaced so quickly. After a few years, who would still remember Lu Zhan?

The little assistant, Assistant Yang Chen, had eyes brimming with tears, crying as he promised to continue being his assistant when he returned.

Fu Jingzhe remained as gentle as ever, even hosting a family dinner to see him off before personally escorting him to the plane.

Upon his departure, Fu Jingzhe told him that he respected all his decisions and would always wait for his return to be his solid support, and that the doors of Xingsheng Entertainment would always be open for him.

Lu Zhan's expression remained normal on the surface, but internally he was noncommittal. He simply told Fu Jingzhe that he would be focusing entirely on his studies and did not wish to be disturbed by anyone for the next few years.

After boarding the plane, Lu Zhan left a clone behind and directly departed from this Small World.

Thinking back to this, Lu Zhan had basically sorted through all his experiences from his previous visit.

“009, how long have I been gone, and where am I now? What is Fu Jingzhe's blackening value, and what is his general situation currently?”

“host, the Male Protagonist Fu Jingzhe's blackening value is 93, and the reason for his blackening is unknown.”

“This is the third year after your departure. You just finished your graduation ceremony at Sheng Lunya University not long ago, and this is your residence near the university.”

“Fu Jingzhe's current situation isn't much different from when the host left, except that he has become increasingly cold and ruthless in his conduct, and his methods have become much harsher.”

“There is some tabloid news; it's heard that a year ago, Fu Jingzhe took an eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth as a young pet, but it's unknown whether this is true or false.”

“Also, there were rumors that leaked from somewhere within the upper-class circles of A City.”

“They said that Fu Jingzhe's legs seemed to have some problems, but before the rumor could spread, the matter was handled cleanly and has not been mentioned since.”

“Additionally, there is some information regarding you, host. During these three years you were away, Fu Jingzhe initially sent you many messages.”

“But because you instructed the clone to minimize contact with Fu Jingzhe when you left, the clone was extremely cold and perfunctory every time.”

“The clone never answered any of the video calls from Fu Jingzhe, rejecting them directly and replying that he was busy and had no time.”

“After this happened many times, Fu Jingzhe seemed to understand something. Since then, he hasn't disturbed you much, only sending sincere blessings during holidays.”

“That is the basic situation of these three years. host, the mission for this world is still to eliminate the Male Protagonist's blackening value.”

“Finally, a reminder to the host: please maintain your persona and perform immersively. Do not let the character become fragmented. 009 is going into stealth mode!”

After saying this, 009 went silent.

Lu Zhan poured a glass of red wine and held it in his hand, sitting on the sofa in a relaxed and casual posture.

His face was cold, and his indifferent eyes were slightly unfocused as he pondered everything 009 had just said.

In his memory, Fu Jinghan's Aura was majestic and powerful, and he always had an air of being unapproachable.

He was never interested in matters of romance, and his well-tailored suits were always worn with extreme neatness and discipline.

So, regarding 009's mention of Fu Jinghan keeping a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth as a lover, Lu Zhan didn't quite believe it in his heart.

On the contrary, the other rumor about Fu Jinghan's legs having problems caused a few hints of doubt and uncertainty to rise in Lu Zhan's mind.

Recalling various things from the past, Fu Jinghan's pace in front of him was always slow and never hurried.

And those legs were always covered tightly; even in the middle of summer at his own home, they were never exposed. Every detail suggested something was abnormal.

Lu Zhan figured the rumor was likely true, and if nothing else, it probably stemmed from the lingering effects of that car accident.

Fu Jinghan might have used methods to keep everything hidden at the time out of his own pride and self-esteem.

This was understandable; after all, for a proud son of heaven like Fu Jinghan with such a haughty nature, how could he be willing to expose his vulnerability to the public?

Regarding this, Lu Zhan couldn't help but feel a pang of pity in his heart. He thought he had successfully changed Fu Jinghan's fate, but he hadn't expected some unhealable defects to remain.

Back then, he was too green and immature in matters of the heart to see through the hidden meanings, but now, after experiencing several Small Worlds, Lu Zhan's heart was already clear.

Fu Jinghan's attitude toward him during those years was clearly unusual; someone with such a difficult personality was actually very gentle and sincere toward him.

He gave money when asked, provided connections and resources, and never hesitated when it was time to back him up.

He even supported his stubborn decision to go abroad for further studies and said those ambiguous words. Fu Jinghan's various behaviors were clearly a sign that he was infatuated with him.

Since that was the case, Lu Zhan basically had a general idea of the reason for the blackening and how to eliminate the blackening value.

Thinking of Fu Jinghan's ascetic appearance, with even his shirt buttons fastened to the neck, Lu Zhan couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart; he felt that he had truly and completely turned gay.

But there wasn't much annoyance in his heart. His mindset had already flattened out, and he even felt, since who knows when, that boys seemed quite cute!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Zhan's cold face, and his indifferent eyes carried a hint of obscure meaning.

He picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and then took out his phone to book a flight back to A City for tomorrow.

...

In A City, on the top floor of the Fu Group building, the towering glass windows reflected the city's bustling scenery, forming a sharp contrast with the interior's exquisite decoration and serious atmosphere.

On this spacious and luxurious top floor, everything seemed to demonstrate the Fu Group's extremely profound strength and pivotal status.

At the entrance of the top floor were two beautiful receptionists with excellent temperaments, responsible for receiving visitors and guiding them to the President's office or meeting rooms.

Special Assistant Jiang and two assistants were located next to President Fu's office. Special Assistant Jiang was President Fu's right-hand man, experienced, highly capable, and possessing solid professional knowledge, and was highly regarded by President Fu.

Meanwhile, Fu Jinghan was sitting upright at his desk, reviewing documents with a cold expression. The large office was silent, with only the slight sound of pages turning occasionally.
