Chapter 2: Rescuing from Dire Straits

The atmosphere turned extremely awkward in an instant. Li Momo fell silent, and Ren Qingzhou did too. They both stared at Su Tang as if she were a rare animal, making Su Tang feel quite uncomfortable under their gazes.

Finally, Ren Qingzhou broke the long silence. "It's okay. There's still time. We can just choose another one." You're the first one who came all the way to chase a star but refused to be on stage with the idol. You've successfully caught my attention.

Su Tang, who had successfully caught the idol's attention, felt out of place standing there and promptly decided to leave. "If there's nothing else, I'll..."

Li Momo understood. "Sure, sure. See you later."

See you later from across a sea of people.

After leaving the lounge, Su Tang got lost.

Getting lost in an airport full of signposts. She didn't know where she got the confidence to think she could find her way out of this dimly - lit place on her own.

After walking in a big circle, she ended up back at the lounge door. She ran into Li Momo, who was just pushing the door open...

Li Momo was surprised. "Why are you back again?"

Would it be inappropriate to say she got lost? It would make her seem not very smart...

"Did you forget something? Or can't you find the way out?"

"I can't find the way out..." [Looking honest and straightforward.jpg]

"I'll take you out." Li Momo, either out of kindness or simply having nothing better to do, just grabbed Su Tang and started walking.

Su Tang was flattered. "No, no. You're busy. I can find the way out myself." Although it might take some time...

"It's no trouble. I'm just going out to pick someone up. It's on the way." Since that was the case, it was better to accept the offer.

"What a great opportunity today. It's the first time I've seen a fan who doesn't want to interact with Ren Qingzhou." Actually, Li Momo wanted to ask why she refused. Did she see that this guy had ulterior motives?

"I'm not good - looking and I don't photograph well." Su Tang's reason was simple. She just thought she didn't look good in photos. If she was snapped by countless cameras at that time, she'd be mocked on Weibo for years.

Li Momo despised herself. She had come up with countless assumptions in her mind. For example, this girl saw that Ren Qingzhou had ulterior motives and thus kept her distance. Or, she saw that Ren Qingzhou favored her and was playing hard - to - get.

She was just being too dirty - minded. It turned out that the girl just thought she wasn't good - looking. Li Momo observed the little girl in front of her carefully again and made a fair assessment - her round face really didn't photograph well.

She had a very accurate self - positioning. Momo was speechless. Momo decided to lead the way.

Momo's phone rang... It should be the computer repairman.

"Sorry, I'll answer the phone."

"Okay." Su Tang was wondering if she should step aside to avoid accidentally hearing some show - biz secrets or some explosive news.

"You can't come? Then what should we do now? We're in a hurry here."

"That computer just suddenly went black. How should I know what's going on? If you can't come now, who can fix it?"

"The stuff in that computer is very important. When it went black, the disk with the backup also couldn't be opened. If I had a backup now, I wouldn't be so anxious."

Li Momo said three sentences in total. It seemed that she had been stood up, probably by a computer repairman. The specific situation was unclear.

After answering the phone, Li Momo's mood immediately changed. She quickly said to Su Tang, "I suddenly have something to do. It's not too far from here to the exit. Just go straight along this road and then turn right. I have to go now."

"Okay." Su Tang nodded. "Thank you."

Li Momo nodded and was eager to go back.

One of the very important principles in Su Tang's life was - don't meddle in other people's business.

But how could the idol's business be considered meddling?

"Sorry, may I ask what's wrong with the computer? Maybe I can help."

Li Momo thought there was suddenly a goddess - like aura around Su Tang. No wonder Ren Qingzhou had taken a fancy to this girl. God was creating opportunities for them to have a story.

"Come with me."

Three minutes later, Li Momo returned to the lounge. In front of her was a computer that wasn't cooperating well.

"There's a short video for today's concert in this computer. I don't know why, but it suddenly stopped working. Even more unfortunately, when it stopped, the hard disk with the backup also malfunctioned." Li Momo briefly introduced the current situation.

Su Tang's phone rang. It was Fang Ting, her colleague and friend.

"Answer the phone first. There's still time." Li Momo also saw the incoming call. Su Tang answered the phone, and Fang Ting's voice boomed in her ear.

"Su Tang, are you on your way to the Workers' Stadium?"

Fang Ting and Su Tang were very close. She knew that Su Tang was going to Ren Qingzhou's concert today.

"I'm already at the Workers' Stadium."

"That's really great. Do you want a chance to get up close and personal with your idol?"

I've already had two close encounters with my idol in the past two days. Even if God is dropping pies from the sky, he can't just target one person!

"It's like this. I have a college classmate. He has a cooperation with your idol's studio. Now there's a problem with the computer in your idol's studio, but there's also a problem on my college classmate's side, so..."

"Okay, okay. I get it." I'm already sitting in front of this problematic computer.

"I'll send you the contact number on WeChat. Contact him. Maybe you'll really get to see your idol."

Fang Ting's voice was really loud, and Su Tang's phone's speaker was really good. Li Momo could almost hear every word Fang Ting said clearly.

The world is really a small circle. Li Momo looked at Su Tang, and Su Tang looked back at Li Momo. There was also Li Momo's fresh - off - the - press WeChat contact on Su Tang's phone.

Su Tang studied computer science in college. She was a so - called programmer, a typical science and engineering girl. After graduating from college, she went to work at Tencent, responsible for technical support and software development. Her department was full of men, like a monastery.

Solving this little bug was easy. Having entered this lounge twice within a day, Su Tang took a brief look around. Ren Qingzhou should be getting his makeup done here, so there were many clothes and some of his personal items.

Finally, the problem was solved. Li Momo heaved a sigh of relief and thanked Su Tang repeatedly. "Thank you so much today!"

Su Tang waved her hand repeatedly. "It's okay. I'll leave now."

"I'll take you out." Li Momo was sure that this lady, who could easily solve computer problems, couldn't find the way from the lounge to the exit.

Su Tang finally walked out of the maze - like Workers' Stadium. She checked the time. There were still three hours until the concert.

Ren Qingzhou was doing his final rehearsal. By the time he finished, Su Tang had already left.

Li Momo sang Su Tang's praises in front of Ren Qingzhou. "She's just a little girl, but she studies science and engineering. She seems really amazing."

"By the way, she should know Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai couldn't come today, and he recommended her."

Jiang Bai was Ren Qingzhou's good friend. He also studied computer science. He had just quit his previous company and was planning to start his own business. He was in charge of all relevant business in Ren Qingzhou's studio.

"How does she know Jiang Bai?"

"Maybe they're college classmates? They should be in the same major."

"I have to ask about this."

"You're not really interested in Su Tang, are you? She's a proper good girl." Li Momo's affection for Su Tang soared. She couldn't let Ren Qingzhou harm this girl.

"Am I not a good person?" Ren Qingzhou was once again confused about how Li Momo saw him. In his assistant's eyes, what kind of a heinous person was he? 【Confused.jpg】

Ren Qingzhou decided to call Jiang Bai.

"Jiang Bai, do you know that girl who came to help today?"

"It's a girl?" So he didn't know.

"Where did you find her? Are you reliable? You stood me up and sent someone to fool me." Ren Qingzhou decided to bluff Jiang Bai.

"Just tell me if it's fixed or not. If it wasn't fixed, you'd be blowing up by now instead of calling me to try and get information." Jiang Bai wasn't taken in.

"Give me her contact information. I want to thank her." Ren Qingzhou was straightforward.

"I really don't have it. She's a friend of a friend of mine. But if you want, I can ask for it for you."

"Is your friend a guy or a girl?"

"You're not really into her, are you? You're something. How old are you and you're starting to believe in love at first sight again?" Jiang Bai and Ren Qingzhou had grown up together. He knew quite a bit about Ren Qingzhou's love life. Ren Qingzhou had only had two relationships, and both times it was love at first sight. That feeling was indescribable.

In short, this guy was a sentimental creature, always chasing that heart - fluttering feeling.

After he entered the entertainment industry, there had been no scandals, because he really hadn't been in a relationship. In Ren Qingzhou's own words, he hadn't found that heart - fluttering feeling again.

Jiang Bai also became interested in Su Tang. He decided to ask Fang Ting for a photo.

"I just want to thank her. You're thinking too far ahead." Su Tang really caught Ren Qingzhou's eye, but it was still too early to tell. This definitely couldn't let Jiang Bai know.

"Okay, whatever you say." Jiang Bai fully considered Ren Qingzhou's feelings and didn't expose his little thoughts. "I'll go ask my friend for it. Wait for my good news."

"Okay. I have a lot of things to do here. I won't chat with you anymore." Now that his goal was achieved, Ren Qingzhou quickly ended the call, leaving no room for Jiang Bai to daydream.

As soon as Li Momo entered the lounge, she saw Ren Qingzhou with a satisfied look on his face.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?" For some reason, she always felt that spring was coming for her boss.

"Nothing. How's it going over there?" Ren Qingzhou quickly changed the subject.

"Everything's okay." Li Momo checked the time and then said, "It's time for you to touch up your makeup."

It's important to focus on work rather than just gossip. Li Momo had been with Ren Qingzhou for four years, from his obscurity to now. Although he wasn't extremely popular, he still had a place in the entertainment industry. She knew that although Ren Qingzhou was a very easy - going person in daily life, he was very serious about his music career and attached great importance to tonight's concert.

The makeup artist for this concert was someone he had often worked with in the past two years. He was quite familiar with Ren Qingzhou's facial features and could do the makeup more easily.

Even so, it still took half an hour to do the makeup, and since the makeup was done quite early, some parts needed to be touched up again.

After the makeup was touched up, Ren Qingzhou still needed to record a short video, which would be given as a bonus after the concert.

After all these tasks were completed, it was time to get ready to go on stage.

Actually, the workload of an entertainer was extremely heavy. Ren Qingzhou had been as busy as a spinning top these two days. Fortunately, there would be a break after the concert.

No matter how many concerts he held, Ren Qingzhou would still be very nervous. When he got nervous, he would unconsciously want to drink water.

Li Momo saw him keep drinking water and couldn't help reminding him, "You've drunk too much water." You won't be able to go to the toilet later...
