The big star has a prince syndrome

"Boss Pei, Ye Yan is here..."

At the location closest to the booth at the charity auction dinner, a male staff member walked up to a young man in a white suit and whispered in his ear that the nameplate on the round table clearly read "Pei Sujun". The moment he turned around, his tall nose bridge was the first thing that stood out from his profile. A smile suddenly appeared on his originally serious expression, and he then stood up and walked towards Ye Yan's direction.

Pei Sujun is Ye Yan's financial backer. Any troubles Ye Yan encounters at work or people he offends will eventually be resolved smoothly for the sake of Jiusheng Group's face. Of course, there are also some brave warriors who don't believe in evil and insist on touching his reverse scale, but the result is always like a stone falling into a deep pool without making any splash.

Seeing someone looking at Ye Yan with a smile on his face as he walked towards him, Xu Qingran subconsciously stepped from behind him and walked beside him. Because he had already dug up everything about Ye Yan, Xu Qingran recognized the man who appeared in Ye Yan's information page, Pei Sujun.

He never had a good impression of the identity of "financial sponsor", so he inexplicably wanted to know what the relationship between Ye Yan and Pei Sujun was like. Was it simply the relationship between a cash cow and a boss, or was it the kind of slave relationship that was rumored, where artists were exploited for profit and financial sponsors took advantage of their power to bully others? Or was there something even more excessive... Xu Qingran had too many associations. The main reason was that the three words "entertainment circle" were always associated with dirtiness. He had not been in this industry for long and there was still a lot of room for exploration. The key point was his inexplicable fondness for Ye Yan, so he wanted to care whether he was treated fairly.

"Long time no see, Xiaoye, how are you doing lately?"

Pei Sujun took the initiative to greet her. Following Ji Yunzhi's Ye Zi, another person affectionately called Ye Yan appeared. Xu Qingran couldn't help but secretly complain after hearing this: "It's been a long time since we last met, why are you still pretending to be familiar..."

"Hello, Mr. Pei, thank you for your concern. I'm doing well recently." Ye Yan responded politely, but her face still looked bad because of what just happened in the parking lot. Pei Sujun didn't think he was being treated coldly. After all, everyone in the circle knew what kind of personality Ye Yan had. As long as he greeted her and answered the questions completely, it was already the highest courtesy Ye Yan had shown to others.

"That's good, but you'll be joining the group soon. Thank you for your hard work. If you like anything tonight, just bid whatever you want. It's all mine."

Pei Sujun was so generous that even his agent Tan Zhuoxi didn't dare to respond. However, Ye Yan didn't seem to be interested in his generosity and politely declined his kindness:

"Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your kindness. However, I don't plan to buy anything. I've already decided to donate it directly. After all, I don't have a hobby of collecting things. It would be a waste to take them back. It would be more meaningful to give them to someone who truly loves them."

What a unique personality! Xu Qingran couldn't help but look at his profile. He didn't believe it before, thinking that celebrities were just deified by their fans. It was not until now that he witnessed it with his own eyes that some people really can shine.

His eyes were too direct, and Pei Sujun, who was standing opposite, saw it all. Pei Sujun then noticed the staff member next to Ye Yan whom he had never seen before. After glancing at him, he smiled and asked:

“Is this your new assistant?”

"It's me, hello, Mr. Pei." Pei Sujun asked Ye Yan, but Xu Qingran took the initiative to answer Pei Sujun's question before him. He knew that Ye Yan was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk when he was in a bad mood, but his social bull syndrome still made Ye Yan admire him. She turned her head slightly and glanced at him sideways, tacitly approving of his behavior.

"She's good-looking and has a good image, Manager Tan. With such good conditions, don't you have any other ideas?"

Pei Sujun looked at Tan Zhuoxi and hinted. Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present understood the deep meaning of his words. Ye Yan was unhappy, thinking that this is my assistant, and he wants to poach me in front of me. He is worthy of being a businessman.

"He's certainly handsome, but whether he wants to debut or not depends on his own willingness, right? Not everyone wants to be a star. Of course, I'll definitely talk to him later and try my best to get him the job. Um, it's almost time to start. Please take a seat, Mr. Pei."

Tan Zhuoxi changed the subject, thinking to herself, "I dare not touch this ancestor's personal assistant. Mr. Pei, please don't harm me..."

Xu Qingran had never expected that Ye Yan's sponsor would take a fancy to him and want him to be an artist. He was quite happy that this was a recognition of his image. However, when he turned around and saw Ye Yan silently warning him with his poisonous eyes, he instantly smoothed his lips and silently pulled up his mask.

Pei Sujun did not sit at the same table with Ye Yan, so they each went to their own seats and sat down. The staff, assistants, bodyguards and agents could only watch from afar on the sidelines. During this time, Xu Qingran saw many big men and rich women taking pictures of Ye Yan with their mobile phones. Ye Yan seemed to be used to it. After greeting the other two senior stars at the same table, she kept staring at the stage, watching the host control the whole scene like a fish in water.

During this time, he turned around and looked for Xu Qingran. Xu Qingran's hat brim was lowered, blocking the upper half of his face, and the mask was blocking the lower half of his face. He was standing with his hands on his chest, one leg straight and one tilted, facing him. Perhaps because he saw him turning around, the other party raised his head slightly and looked into his eyes. When their eyes met, Ye Yan's expression did not change at that moment, and he quickly turned his gaze back to the stage.

Although Ye Yan's eyes were fixed on the stage, his mind was recalling the scene where Xu Qingran pulled him in the parking lot just now.

Damn it, he actually saw the perverted sasaeng fan's prank on me, how embarrassing...

Ye Yan complained secretly. What he cared about most was his image. The shameful clothes and note he had just seen had already insulted him. Not only Xu Qingran saw it, but the other security personnel present also saw it. Although it was none of his business, he would not wear clothes that did not belong to him. But he was afraid that some people would put themselves in his shoes and would not be able to help but imagine how he would look wearing those things, just like people would feel a lump in their teeth when they saw lemon slices. Some things were involuntary and had nothing to do with a person's quality.

As Ye Yan said, he did not raise a card once throughout the whole event. He was just a spectator, watching those celebrities and bigwigs bid high prices again and again. There was indeed nothing he liked in the auction items. Rich women bought jewelry and jade, and older capitalists scrambled for antiques and paintings. There was even a bottle of top-quality girl's red wine that had been stored in the cellar for more than 30 years. Ye Yan really had no desire to buy these things.

"Our big star Ye Yan didn't raise her cards once tonight. Doesn't she like anyone?"

After all the items involved in the auction were auctioned, the emcee walked to the audience with a microphone to interact with everyone. In order to increase the popularity, the first person he wanted to visit was naturally Ye Yan, who had his own traffic. The microphone was handed to him and the camera was pointed at him for a close-up.

This is a good opportunity, otherwise someone would probably criticize him again on tomorrow's entertainment charts for not wanting to spend money on charity, so he smiled generously in front of the camera and explained:

"It's not that I don't like it, it's that I don't know how to appreciate it. Precious things are only meaningful when they are collected by people who know how to appreciate them. Otherwise, their value cannot be demonstrated. Although I didn't spend any money tonight, I will definitely not miss out on charity. After this is over, I will make a separate donation to the foundation to do my best to help all those in need. Thank you to the organizers for inviting us and giving us this opportunity to show our love. By the way, I would also like to remind the audience watching this evening that charity should be done within one's means. Charity is not just about money, it can also be about action. You can lend a hand to others who are in trouble, but do it to the best of your ability. Because only when you are not troubled can you better love the world. Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into applause. Everyone was applauding his speech, except Xu Qingran, who was so shocked by Ye Yan's last sentence that he was momentarily stunned.

Only when you are not troubled, will you have the heart to love the world. This is the life experience that only people who have experienced hardships will have. Xu Qingran thought, when people encounter difficulties, they will only be trapped in confusion. At this time, they have to care about how to get out of the predicament and embrace a new life. Don't care whether the person running in the rain downstairs is cold. In that way, you can't help others nor yourself. On the surface, he is reminding fans not to make blind donations because of him, but in fact, he is also warning them to live for themselves. The result of helping others should be happiness, instead of worrying about not being able to buy the things they like after donating money. Doing what you can is the propaganda attitude that charity should have. Xu Qingran agreed with Ye Yan's point of view, and even if he forgot to applaud, an appreciative smile appeared on his face.

As expected, some people may appear aloof and willful on the surface, but in fact, they see things more clearly than anyone else. For a moment, Xu Qingran couldn't believe that these were the words of the arrogant celebrity who insisted on eating at a food stall in the early morning. Even Tan Zhuoxi felt that he seemed to have matured suddenly at that moment, and could speak so well on the spot, like an old father who wanted his son to succeed. He was so moved that he kept patting Xu Qingran's arm and was almost in tears:

"It's definitely going to be on the headlines tonight. It's so rare! The child has finally grown up..."

"Brother Zhuo, be gentle..." Xu Qingran dodged. Tan Zhuoxi slapped him too hard, making him feel like he was being scolded by his father when he was a child. This destroyed all the resonance he had just had with Ye Yan.

"Isn't this exciting? By the way, hasn't Xiaoyan asked you to cook recently?"

Tan Zhuoxi suddenly asked about cooking, which happened to be the question Xu Qingran wanted to know. In order to complete the cooking task, he would seriously make cooking videos after work every day, but he had no chance to show them. Xu Qingran didn't understand and thought, is he afraid that I will be too tired so he doesn't let me do it?

"Yeah, I don't know why, but I'm still as picky about food as ever."

"If he doesn't pick, then he's not the one. Is it because your cooking doesn't suit his taste?"

"No way? Didn't you hear him say that? But I think I asked him how my cooking was, and he told me to go home and try it myself and I'll know. I've been forgetting about it, so I'll go back and try it tonight."

Xu Qingran thought of some things that he didn't know whether they were important or not, but he was very confident. After all, Ye Yan ate the dishes he cooked twice and never criticized him for cooking poorly. The only time she complained about him was because of his knife skills in cutting fruit. As for why Ye Yan wanted him to taste the dishes he cooked, Xu Qingran was not sure of his intention for the time being, so he decided to cook himself tonight to find the answer.
