If you are asked to be a professional bootlicker, you will turn the goddess into a clown?

That day, Xia Xueqi told Zhang Yang that she had accepted a role in a short play called "Step by Step".

Zhang Yang laughed when he heard the name, thinking it wouldn’t be a good crew.

I heard from Xia Xueqi that this is actually a tomb-robbing romance movie.

It tells the story of a male protagonist taking three women to rob a tomb. Every step in the tomb is terrifying. In the end, after the third woman is sacrificed, the male protagonist and the first and second women finally become a couple.

The director of the film is a new director and this is his first film.

The short dramas these days are really ruining one's worldview. All kinds of weird stories are filmed, and poor Xia Xueqi plays the third female role who dies in the end in this film.

This was originally a play with a small investment, a bad script, and a ruined worldview, but it was also the first time that Xia Xueqi was able to speak a lot of lines.

Not only did Zhang Yang not belittle her at all, he also encouraged her to love what she does and to do her best to play the role well.

He also watched a lot of tomb-raiding movies and gave her some advice.

Maybe it’s because she has honed her acting skills by playing small roles, or maybe this role is suitable for her in terms of appearance and script, or maybe it’s just luck.

"Bu Bu Shudder" became a huge hit after it was released, and the key was Xia Xueqi. Her appearance and acting skills completely overwhelmed the other three protagonists and became a huge highlight of the show.

So much so that the audience strongly demanded that the other three die and Xia Xueqi be resurrected.

This drama topped the charts on major short drama platforms for two months. The film company made a profit of nearly 40 million with an investment of only 500,000!

In order to attract audiences, the film crew brought Xia Xueqi back and reshot two episodes, really letting the protagonist and the other two women die, leaving Xia Xueqi alive.

This amazing operation made the film company earn a lot of money, and Xia Xueqi's popularity was once again boosted, and she suddenly became a hot traffic star.

As her dog, Zhang Yang also watched all the free episodes of the show.

Her acting skills have become much more mature after being polished, and coupled with her highly recognizable appearance and beautiful voice, she later filmed two dramas with considerable investments.

In just one year, she has become an A-list star.

Her life has changed so much that many people would be overwhelmed by it.

But she has always kept her original intention and still maintained the purity she had when she entered the entertainment industry.

Zhang Yang made a great contribution to this.

After Xia Xueqi became famous, she and Zhang Yang kept in touch. No matter what activities she had or how tired she was that day, she had to chat with Zhang Yang for a few minutes every night before she could fall asleep.

She said several times that she wanted to come over to see Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang initially refused, but later he couldn't resist her constant nagging and finally agreed. But for some reason, he was unable to make the trip later.

And it seems that agent Chen Ying is aware of this situation.

Later, Zhang Yang felt that with Xia Xueqi's current status and position, she no longer needed him to be a bootlicker and output emotional value.

So he asked Chen Ying whether to terminate the contract so that he could concentrate on doing Shi Yuxuan's work.

But Chen Ying hesitated for a long time and refused to agree. Not only that, in order to keep him, she also increased his salary to eight thousand a month.

For the sake of money, Zhang Yang decided to continue doing it. After all, to him, it was just a job.

But the situation is a bit bad now. Xia Xueqi is going to move to S City specially. Will everything be the same as before?

Anyway, she hasn't come yet. I'll talk about it when she really comes. Besides, even if she comes, she may not meet me. I'm just a professional bootlicker. There's no need to worry myself too much.

Zhang Yang put away his phone and looked out the window. The Tianlan Orphanage was not far ahead.

This place is less than 150 kilometers away from S City, but compared with the prosperous S City, it looks a bit shabby.

The rusty gate, the three-story teaching building, and a small playground in front, everything looks so familiar and warm.

As soon as he got off the car, the first thing he saw was the old dean Li Geng and a few children standing at the door waiting for him.

The old director has worked so hard for this orphanage that he is not even 55 years old, but his hair is already full of white hair.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yang, he smiled happily: "Finally you're here, they're all waiting for you."

As soon as Zhang Yang handed the toy over, several children rushed to grab it. Among them, an older boy walked out of the crowd, took the box and said, "Don't rush to grab it, I'll divide it up later!"

He took Zhang Yang's hand again and said, "Brother Zhang Yang, we are all waiting for you to eat."

The child is ten years old and his name is Liang Jiahao. He came to the orphanage six years ago, when Zhang Yang had not left yet. He has a very good relationship with Zhang Yang, just like his own brother.

Zhang Yang put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Xiao Hao, don't try to get close to me yet. I'm going to test you later to see how you're doing in school."

Xiao Hao raised his chin and said, "Don't worry about the exam, Brother Zhang Yang. I'm not lazy. I will study hard and become a useful person to society like Brother Zhang Yang in the future."

Zhang Yang knew that Dean Li must have praised him a lot in front of these children, making his image as majestic as an astronaut.

But in fact, I am just a professional bootlicker, or to put it bluntly, I am a prostitute.

In a sense, their status is even lower than those of those who actually sell them.

He often needs to bear the negative energy himself, which is a process of constantly suppressing himself, while at the same time he has to output emotional value to those customers.

This may seem like nothing, but he is a human being after all, and he has emotions.

If he cannot regulate himself well, or does not abide by his professional bootlicker rules, he might end up in a miserable situation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang patted Xiao Hao on the shoulder and said, "Your brother Zhang Yang can't be your role model. Study hard and be more promising than me."

Xiao Hao pouted and muttered, "You haven't even graduated yet, how come you're such a loser."

Dean Li laughed loudly and said, "This kid is very cunning, a perfect example of the young Zhang Yang of the past."

As they were talking, several people had already arrived at the dining hall, and Chef Lao Chen had already prepared a table of simple home-cooked meals.

Dean Li and the children sat down around a large round table and began to eat happily.

It was almost eight o'clock now. The children were hungry and they wolfed down the food. Zhang Yang felt warm at heart looking at them.

Dean Li picked up some food for him and said, "Zhang Yang, if it weren't for you in the past two years, the orphanage might not have been able to operate. When I think of the hardships you have endured, sometimes I don't know how to thank you."

When he said this, his voice was a little choked.

He knew that Zhang Yang was just a college student and he had to spend his own money. How could he get so much money to support the orphanage? He guessed that he must have made some sacrifices.

As for what kind of sacrifice could be exchanged for so much money, he didn't dare to think about it.

Zhang Yang smiled brightly and said, "Old Dean, you see, it took a lot of effort for me to come here. Don't say such sentimental words. I was raised in an orphanage and I didn't do much..."

Dean Li wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "I understand. I understand everything."

He took a bite of the food, was silent for a while, and then said, "The matter you asked me to do a few days ago may have some progress."
