After the former actor was forced to open for business

The atmosphere in the room almost froze at that moment, Fan Yue swore that he was so embarrassed for the first time in 30 years of his life, shame made him not know where to put his old face.

He quickly got up and put on his clothes, the only thing in his mind was a sentence he saw on Weibo before——

As long as I am not embarrassed, it is someone else who is embarrassed.

Well, he's not embarrassed, not embarrassed, not embarrassed...

Damn, it's really embarrassing!

Fan Yue swallowed hard, a drop of sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead.

Xia Jincheng's voice came from the phone receiver at an untimely time: "Fan Yue? What are you doing?"

He frowned and picked up the phone from the carpet. After struggling for a long time, he pointed the camera at himself again, pretending to look normal.

"I was just... changing clothes, sorry."

The person on the screen laughed silently, "Oh, I've been training in good shape these days."

No matter how he said this, it sounded like he was teasing him, Fan Yue couldn't help but blushed, and looked away with dodge eyes.

What should he say at this time?Thank you for the compliment?Why doesn't it feel right...

Fan Yue simply gave up struggling, and said in a tone that he would never have normally: "It has always been good."

As soon as he said the words, he regretted it, because he obviously felt that the atmosphere was getting weirder, and the person opposite seemed to be trying hard to hold back his smile?

What's so funny, what he said is obviously true.

Fan Yue's complexion is not very good, but he has already been seen by others, and there is no room for redemption at this point, so he should find a way to change the topic.

But just as he was about to speak, he heard Xia Jin present: "Well, but it can be better."

Fan Yue: "?"

Mr. Xia's words seem to have deep meaning... Maybe he should ask how to become better?

or farewell.The topic was weird enough now, and he didn't want to get any weirder.

Fan Yue cleared his throat and looked at him with a frown, "Xia always wants to talk about the hot search, or arrange your brother to be my assistant?"

No, I want to talk about your body.

Xia Moumou replied this sentence in his heart, but it didn't embarrass anyone. He followed Fan Yue's meaning and took the words, "Did you see the hot search?"

"kindness."

"Just right. The copywriting company you responded to has already thought about it for you, and He Qiaoqiao will send it to you later."

Fan Yue nodded, "How was the matter handled?"

"Of course it was a beautiful fight." Xia Jincheng slightly raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips rose slightly.

This is a rare young man's pride on his face.

"Tian Yuan, I have already fired the person for you, and the hot search has also been withdrawn. However, after the filming starts, there will be personnel transfers in the crew, which may require you to get used to the new partner again."

Personnel transfer... Fan Yue had a general idea in his mind, but he didn't point it out, and only agreed: "Okay."

It seems that the incident this time was indeed a big one. The temporary replacement of actors two days before the start of the film was of no benefit to the crew. It must have taken a lot of effort for Xia Jincheng to make Chen Liheng, an old fritter, compromise.

At this moment, the person in the video seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, pinching the space between his eyebrows.

Fan Yue saw that the background behind him was still the bookcase in the office, and couldn't help frowning, "Are you still in the company?"

It's already dawn, this person must have stayed in the company all night...

"En," Xia Jincheng sighed lazily, feeling tired, "Go back and rest in a while."

Fan Yue's heart tugged inexplicably, feeling a little sorry, "Thank you, Mr. Xia."

This sentence seems to be very useful, and someone who was tired just now smiled and raised his eyes, "I have learned to care about my boss, and I have made progress."

I have to say that Xia Jincheng is really pretty when she smiles, otherwise Fan Yue wouldn't be fascinated every time.

Sometimes he even thinks, if Xia Jincheng does not become a boss but debuts as an actor or an idol like him, it is not certain who will get the most handsome appearance in the entertainment industry.

"You're tired after flying all night, take a rest early to adjust." Xia Jincheng said as he was about to hang up the phone.

Fan Yue didn't stop him either, "Okay, you too."

"kindness."

……

Hearing what Xia Jincheng said on the phone, Fan Yue thought why Qiao Qiao would just send him the Weibo copy, but he didn't expect that she brought not only the copy, but also herself.

When He Qiaoqiao knocked on Fan Yue's door, Cheng Lu had just bought dinner, and Xia Yu was busy arranging a plate for Fan Yue.

She carried a suitcase, and was full of dust, "Xiaoyue, you don't know how much Mr. Xia was yesterday—"

Halfway through the words, He Qiaoqiao looked at Xia Yu, blinked, and turned to meet Fan Yue's gaze.

Before she could ask, Fan Yue first dragged the person and the box into the room, "Come in for a drink first."

Cheng Lu is very discerning, so he hurriedly poured a glass of water for He Qiaoqiao, and handed it over with a smile, "You are Brother Fan's manager, Miss Qiaoqiao, right? I am the new friend arranged by President Xia for Brother Fan Assistant! My name is Cheng Lu."

A boy who smiles openly is more eye-catching. He Qiaoqiao couldn't find anything wrong at the moment, so he thought that this boy must be better than that Tian Yuan, so he nodded to him and smiled, "Hello, hello!" , we will rely on you to take care of Xiaoyue from now on."

As she spoke, her eyes still fell on Xia Yu.

He Qiaoqiao secretly tugged on Fan Yue's arm, and asked him in a low voice, "What's the matter, Mr. Xia is so worried about you that he even sent his younger brother to monitor you personally?"

Fan Yue: "..."

Sometimes he really doubts why his cousin's IQ is inversely proportional to her age. She is in her 30s, and she speaks naively and secondary.

Before Fan Yue could answer, Xia Yu walked over by himself, "Hi, sister Qiao Qiao. I'm Xia Yu, and I'm Brother Fan's assistant."

"Assistant?" He Qiaoqiao choked for a moment, looking at his cousin beside him with a complicated expression.

"I'll tell you later." Fan Yue felt that it was a bit difficult to explain this matter to He Qiaoqiao. After all, she always had a lot of strange problems, so it's better to solve other things first.

"Have you booked a room yet?"

He Qiaoqiao shook his head, "I came straight here to look for you as soon as I got off the plane. I have already sent you the copy of Weibo, please remember to post it later."

"Okay." Fan Yue nodded and looked at Cheng Lu beside him, "Xiao Lu, go and open a room for her first, it's better to be closer to us."

"Okay, Brother Fan."

Xia Yu was obviously still enthusiastic about his first job, so he leaned over and asked, "What should I do, rubbing my legs and shoulders or something else?"

Fan Yue glanced at him and said calmly, "Sit down and eat."

After all, he was a young master and Boss Xia's younger brother. He still couldn't let him work with complete peace of mind, and felt very sorry.

But Xia Yu obviously didn't think so, and happily dragged He Qiaoqiao to the table, "Sister Qiao, you are exhausted after sitting on the plane for a long time, come and sit quickly."

Both of them have familiar personalities, although there is a big age difference, but fortunately, He Qiaoqiao is young at heart, and he and Xia Yu quickly got acquainted, as if they were cousins.

Fan Yue ate silently at the side, and posted Weibo by the way, and spontaneously accompanied it with a picture of today's meal.

Actor Fan Yue V: I will admit what I have done, and I will never endure being framed if I have not done it.The strength of an actor is always proved by his work, and one-sided evaluation does not constitute an influence. I firmly believe this, and I am also proving this to the world.good evening everyone [picture]

The feeling of self-contained heat was numb, and Fan Yue turned off his phone after posting Weibo.

The hot chat between the two people over there seemed to have come to an end. Xia Yu came over and sat next to Fan Yue, winking at him, "Brother Fan, your birthday is coming soon, do you have any presents you want?"

Fan Yue frowned and looked at the date on the phone, it seemed that it was indeed a few days away.

He hasn't paid much attention to birthdays for many years, and maybe he would have looked forward to it before because he knew someone would make a cake for him, but since that incident ten years ago, he never looked forward to it.

Now he simply shook his head, "No."

"Then do you want to have a birthday party?" Xia Yu rubbed his chin, "Although it's in the crew, it should be okay... Shall I go talk to my brother?"

"No need." Fan Yue pressed back the phone he had picked up, and said in a deep voice, "It's not my birthday."

"Ah..." Young Master Xia's disappointment was clearly written on his face. This time he came with a mission. If he couldn't finish it, his brother would lock him up at home again. It's sad to think about it.

"It's okay, Xiao Yu, don't bother with him, he's a workaholic right now." He Qiaoqiao waved his hand at Xia Yu, went over and pulled him up, "Do you and Cheng Lu want to eat anything? I'll take you two Go eat something delicious."

Even young people can't pass the test of eating. Cheng Lu's eyes lit up sitting next to him, and he said he was embarrassed, but he had already stood up and prepared to go out, "Sister Qiao, where are we going to eat? Before I came After doing the guide, I know that there is a good grilled fish nearby! Xia Yu, do you have anything you want to eat?"

"Grilled fish? I can!"

"Let's go, don't take that stern-faced one."

The three of them went out the door in a lively manner, and the room fell silent immediately.

Fan Yue sat in the living room by himself, but he didn't feel anything. After eating a few mouthfuls of choy sum, he didn't have any appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and walked into the room.

With those "noise sources" gone, he was quieter and could still read the script.

The phone suddenly vibrated, it was an unfamiliar call, and the number belonged to the capital.

With the shadow of answering the black fan's phone call last time, Fan Yue frowned, looked for a while and found that the other party was really persistent, and then connected the phone.

"Hey?"

"It's me." Someone's voice came from the receiver, sounding a little tired.

Fan Yue was silent for a long while, and he didn't feel any pity because of the exhaustion shown by the other party, but his tone was outrageously cold.

"I said that there is no need to contact." He was about to hang up the phone.

"But I want to apologize to you personally!" Pei Qing choked up a little when he said this, "I'm sorry... this matter was arranged by the company, and I didn't know it beforehand. They took my phone and sent that wechat Bo. Fan Yue, I..."

"Understood." Fan Yue didn't give him a chance to continue, "Is there anything else?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, "...not anymore."

"Don't contact me again, it's unnecessary." Fan Yue hung up the phone after finishing speaking, and added the number to the blacklist.

He still doesn't quite understand Pei Qing's purpose of doing this, he has ignored his warning several times, and deliberately made some false appearances in front of others to show that the two are familiar or even ambiguous.

Like a child desperately trying to get attention, naive and ridiculous.

But they are not children after all.

Just thinking about it, the phone in his hand vibrated twice again.

Fan Yue frowned, he was not in a good mood now, and he didn't really want to contact anyone.

Xia Jincheng's name was displayed on the screen, making Fan Yue pause for a while when he turned off the phone.

It was a voice message, five seconds.

Fan Yue clicked on the voice message, and the man's deep and slightly hoarse voice came from the receiver.

"Are you still used to it? Are you acclimatized?"

Xia Jincheng's tone was a little lazy, it sounded like he had just woken up, and his speech was unusually slow.

The negative emotions caused by Pei Qing just dissipated almost as soon as that person's voice sounded.

Fan Yue calmed down and replied patiently: "Fortunately, there is no acclimatization."

The other party replied almost instantly: "That's good."

After a while there was another voice message.

Xia Jincheng: "Xia Yu took the initiative to ask to be your assistant. If you cause trouble to you, you don't have to worry about it. You should be punished and scolded, and you should let him experience it."

Fan Yue: "Okay."

The words "The other party is typing..." were displayed again at the top of the chat window. Unlike before, Fan Yue had a rare feeling of anticipation.

Perhaps Xia Jincheng made him feel much more comfortable than that person, which made him have such unbelievable expectations.

Fan Yue wanted to say something, but after much deliberation, there was nothing too appropriate, so he had to give up in the end.

Obviously, the other party is the same as him.

Xia Jincheng repeatedly entered and deleted in the edit box, until finally only two words "good night" remained.

He squeezed the space between his eyebrows and took out a photo from the drawer of the bedside table.The young man in the photo smiled wantonly and sunnyly, and his superior facial features gave him a sense of beauty beyond gender under the influence of light.

On the back of the photo, there is a paragraph written with a marker pen. The writing style is not sharp but neat and beautiful.

"Happy birthday to Xiaoxia!" Behind it was a stick figure gesture of cheering. The signature was someone's signature. The handwriting was skillful. At first glance, it was a designed font, and it was vaguely discernible that it was someone's name.

Xia Jincheng's fingertips gently stroked the words on it, and his brows stretched.

"You don't remember anymore..."

It doesn't matter if you don't remember, anyway, what he wants to give him is the future, not the past.

The climate in Yu'an was quite different from that of the capital. Although Fan Yue didn't have any obvious acclimatization, he was not in a good state for a few days. Even if Xia Yu and He Qiaoqiao tried to make him happy, it was useless.

He simply eats breakfast after waking up every day, and spends the rest of the time in the hotel room, reading the script with his arms in his arms.

If you tell him to eat, he will eat a few mouthfuls, and if no one calls him, he will not eat at all, like a machine without self-awareness.

However, in two or three days, he lost a lot of weight, so much so that when Chen Liheng asked him to have dinner with him the night before the start-up, he frowned at the first sight of him.

"Fan Yue, what's the matter with you, why have you lost so much weight?"

"I'm not acclimatized." Fan Yue smiled helplessly, and followed him to the table.

Jiang Weiwei, who was sitting next to him, could see that Chen Liheng wanted to chatter a few more words, so he quickly took over the conversation, "Director Chen, Fan Yue is here, can we serve food? I'm already hungry."

Girls in the crew are always given preferential treatment, especially a beautiful and sexy woman like Jiang Weiwei, who is also a first-line actress who is popular and not easy to mess with.

Chen Liheng hurriedly smiled and nodded in agreement, and called the waiter over to prepare the dishes.

Fan Yue's seat was arranged next to Jiang Weiwei, and Jiang Weiwei specially handed him the menu, "Fan Yue, order whatever else you want. Anyway, Director Chen said he was a treat for this meal. I'm sorry if I don't give him a good meal." Come all the way to Yu'an."

Jiang Weiwei is two years older than him. Although the two are alumni, they have never worked together before.

But after getting along during this time, Fan Yue thinks that she is an actress with a pretty good personality. Although she is popular and her character design is not close to the people, she has no airs in private, and she is very good when they play against each other. empathy.

Strength and character are nothing to say.

Now Fan Yue smiled and nodded at her, "I can eat anything, you can eat more if you want. Ji Xing is not as thin as you."

Ji Xing is the name of the heroine of "Xinghai", and it is also the role that Jiang Weiwei will play this time.

Hearing what he said, Jiang Weiwei frowned, took a sip of red wine, and said enviously: "That's right, Ji Xing is not a female star, so you don't have to think about whether it looks good on camera."

The two of them chatted without saying a word, and the food was almost served.

Only a few leading actors were invited to the dinner this time, and He Cheng was also invited, but his position was a bit far away, so he was not able to get in the conversation.

When Fan Yue entered the room, he took a glance. The newcomer he pointed out before was also there, and the little girl was sitting next to He Cheng, looking a little reserved.

The leading actors are almost all there, there is no Pei Qing, but there is an extra actor who looks a few years older than Fan Yue.

"Come on, I have a few words to say to everyone before dinner." Chen Liheng stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand.

The light in the private room is warm yellow, the dining table is round, and the warm feeling comes out immediately.

"The film "Xinghai" can be said to have a long-term fate. If I knew that there were so many things going on before the start of the film—" Director Chen choked up as he spoke, and then continued with a sigh, "That must be filmed."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and heard him continue to speak: "Before, due to the intervention of the investor, the actor had to be replaced. Here I still want the other party to continue to say sorry." He said to the strange man. The actor raised his glass, "This is Li Fangji, the actor we decided on at the beginning to play the male lead, and he is also the one we finally decided on, and we won't change it again."

Li Fangji also stood up, "Director Chen doesn't need to apologize, we know what's going on in this circle, let's have fun working together."

The two clinked glasses in the air, and drank the wine with their heads raised.

Fan Yue took a careful look at Li Fangji. This man exudes the unique charm of a mature man, he walks the line of a handsome man, and he is also a well-known and capable actor in the circle.

"Fan Yue, look at him, is he handsome?" Jiang Weiwei leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Fan Yue was stunned for a moment, "Huh?"

"Tsk, this one really suits my appetite." Jiang Weiwei took another sip of wine while talking, and looked at Li Fangji who was sitting opposite with a pair of charming eyes, "It's so manly."

This was the first time Fan Yue saw her like this, he couldn't help but smiled, nodded, "It's really handsome."

"Then do you like this one?" Jiang Weiwei asked so abruptly, which stopped people from asking.

Xu Shi saw that he didn't respond immediately, Jiang Weiwei was afraid that he would say something wrong and provoke people's reaction, so he quickly explained: "It's nothing else, if you are taboo, you don't have to answer. I am quite open about this Yes. Love, no one is sure about this, and age and gender are also uncertain factors, I think so."

"Well, it's okay." Fan Yue looked relieved, and his eyes drifted to Li Fangji who was opposite, and saw that the man was also looking at him, but he didn't feel so friendly.

He looked back, raised his glass and touched Jiang Weiwei, "Handsome is handsome, but too fierce. It's not very good."

"I guess you don't like it either." Jiang Weiwei said with a smile, "You are suitable for the younger and considerate ones."

For some reason, the image of a person flashed through his mind, making Fan Yue in a trance for a moment.

"Why?" he asked, frowning.

"A woman's intuition."

Fan Yue didn't speak any more, he lowered his head and listened to Chen Liheng babbling a lot like giving a lecture, and ate his own food.

In fact, he didn't eat much from the beginning to the end. I have to say that these dishes really didn't suit his appetite.

There was a launch ceremony on the second day, and they only ordered as long as they had dinner together. After the meal, everyone went back to their hotels.

Fan Yue didn't let Xia Yu and the others come to pick him up, probably because he was drunk, he wanted to take a stroll around today for no reason to relax.

There is a small lake next to the restaurant where they had dinner, and the starlight and moonlight intertwine and fall down at night, catering to the street lamps by the lake, reflecting the lake with waves.

In fact, lakes like this can be seen everywhere in Yu'an, but Fan Yue stopped here.

"Teacher Fan Yue?" A slightly immature female voice suddenly came from behind. Fan Yue turned his head to see that it was the little girl who had dinner together.

The little girl walked over quickly, and handed him a bottle of milk in her hand, "Teacher Fan Yue, I saw that you had a bad appetite when you were in the restaurant just now. This is hot milk. It's cold at night. You have warmed your hands Or a couple of sips would be fine."

Fan Yue looked at her with no expression on his face, and he didn't take the bottle of milk.

The little girl was a little panicked, "Teacher Fan, I... I just want to thank you for your advice to me before, there is no other meaning, just accept it!"

It's really unreasonable for a senior like him to embarrass a junior like this, Fan Yue reluctantly took the things over, "Thank you. What's your name."

"You're welcome! My name is Xie Qingyu." The little girl smiled with a pear dimple at the corner of her mouth, which was very sweet and cute.

"Also, thank you, teacher, for your handling of the Post Bar incident. Those people are really too much. I was also careless, and I didn't notice when I was secretly photographed..."

Fan Yue didn't understand, so, "Post it? What post?"

"Ah...it's about the fact that you were secretly photographed and posted on the post bar when you were telling me about the play. I remember you came out to clarify at that time, why..."

"If you didn't find out in time that it was the people from Zhenye Culture who did the trick, I really wouldn't be able to tell. It doesn't matter if I am a small role. If it affects you, I will regret it to death! But fortunately now Zhenye All cultural people were eliminated by Director Chen."

After Fan Yue frowned and listened to her, he probably had a result in his heart.

He had been immersed in training during that time and didn't pay much attention to these things.Thinking back to that time, Xia Jincheng and He Qiaoqiao's behavior was a little weird, it should be that time...

"It's okay, we should do it." He took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call, but the little girl Xie Qingyu didn't have much vision at this time, and she stood aside and didn't intend to leave.

Fan Yue's hand to press the dial button paused, and smiled at Xie Qingyu, "It's getting late, you should go back earlier. Didn't the assistant come to pick you up?"

A trace of panic flashed across Xie Qingyu's face, "Ah, yes, I'll be going back soon, teacher, you should go back early too."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

Seeing the little girl walking away, Fan Yue called He Qiaoqiao.

"Hi, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."

Fan Yue frowned when a mechanical female voice with no emotion came from the receiver.

He Qiaoqiao was probably on the phone with Xiaobao at this time, and it was normal if they couldn't get through.

Only in this case, the only thing he can find is——

"You tell me how feasible this plan is. I want specific data." Xia Jin loosened his tie, and looked at the employees with their heads drooping on the computer screen with a calm expression.

Apparently, this video conference didn't go very smoothly. "You can't even make the most basic plan. It's not your first day working in the company. Do you want me to teach you how to do it?"

"President Xia, I'm sorry, we didn't think carefully this time, we will prepare a new plan soon!"

"You—" Before he could say anything, he heard the phone on the table vibrate.

Glancing over, seeing the name displayed on it, Xia Jincheng's face softened almost instantly.

"Within three days, I want to see a practical plan, and the meeting will be adjourned."

After he said in a deep voice, he closed the computer and took a steady breath before answering the phone.

"Hello." Fan Yue was about to hang up the phone when he heard the man's voice in his ears, and couldn't help but startled.

He took a deep breath and called him, "President Xia."

"En." The person on the other end of the phone seemed not very interested, and agreed perfunctorily, "What's the matter so late?"

"I have something to do." The movement of the hand was faster than the brain just a second before the call was made. Now that the connection has been made, Fan Yue can only answer truthfully, "I have a question to ask you."

"Okay, you ask."

The street lamps by the lake were dimly lit, shining on Fan Yue's hair and shoulders, making the black windbreaker a little warmer.

"Did you handle the matter of posting on the bar before?" He asked.

Xia Jincheng didn't want to hide it, so he answered yes directly, and asked him why he brought this up.

"It's nothing." Fan Yue lowered his eyes and landed on the black shadow that was almost shrunk into a ball under his feet, "So if I didn't find out by myself, are you going to never tell me?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other side, which seemed to be the default on this matter.

Xia Jincheng sighed helplessly, "I didn't deliberately hide this matter from you. If you found out, I would still answer truthfully. What's more, this matter didn't affect you. When you finish filming this movie , I will tell you everything you want to know."

"..." Fan Yue didn't speak for a while.

He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Alcohol seemed to have played a certain role, Fan Yue felt a little light at the moment, he leaned on the telegraph pole and watched the shadow under his feet motionless.

But he didn't respond like this, but the person on the other end of the phone couldn't help becoming nervous, "Fan Yue?"

Xia Jincheng called him.

Fan Yue didn't answer.

"Fan Yue? Are you angry?" Xia Jincheng called him again.

"No." He stood up unsteadily, and walked towards the bench by the lake, "I just think..."

He didn't say the following words, and the brows of Mr. Xia, who was hung up on his appetite, were all wrinkled together.

"What do you think?" Xia Jincheng asked him.

"I think you all like to hide things from me. The trending searches a few days ago were the same, as were the hot posts on the forum before. Do I think I'm a fool if I don't ask you?" Fan Yue suddenly laughed while talking.

The person on the other end of the phone felt something was wrong with his tone, "Fan Yue, have you been drinking?"

He didn't deny it, standing in front of the bench and looking at the sparkling lake surface revealed an intoxicating tranquility under the moonlight.

"Well, let's have dinner and have some drinks."

"Where are you now?" Xia Jincheng was about to switch the phone interface to the chat interface with Xia Yu, "I'll call someone to pick you up right now."

The autumn night wind is slightly cool, and when it blows past people's feet, it brings up the scattered yellow leaves on the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

"Xia Jincheng." Fan Yue heard himself calling that person's name.

The man's magnetic voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Well, I'm here."

"Why did you do so much without telling me?" Following Jiu Jin, Fan Yue finally asked the question, with the ripples on the lake reflected in his eyes, "You signed me as a 'stained' artist for no reason, And silently helped me deal with all kinds of troublesome things. You are a businessman, how can you do things without asking for anything in return?"

"Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
