Zhou Yan did not answer the phone.
So Zu Qi called him again.
This time the ring sounded for a long time before Zhou Yan’s lazy voice came from the receiver: “Hey Xiao Zu, you haven’t contacted me for so long. I thought you had forgotten me.”
The one sentence obviously sounded normal, but he didn’t know why, when it came out of Zhou Yan’s mouth, there was a strange feeling.
Zu Qi has always had a bad impression of Zhou Yan.
He still remembered that when he had just given birth to Xue Wanwan and was still in the hospital, Zhou Yan kept calling him about Tang Moning. He claimed that he was caring about his health, but in fact he just wanted to get something out of Zu Qi’s mouth. That’s all.
Zu Qi pursed his lips and said straight to the point: “Brother Zhou, have you been busy recently? I received an audition notice not long ago, and I would like to ask if you have time to accompany me to attend it.”
After hearing this, Zhou Yan was silent for a long time. His tone suddenly became serious: “What audition? A resource that Mr. Xue introduced to you?”
“No.” Zu Qi said, “It was a friend who created the opportunity for me by connecting the dots, so I want to give it a try.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yan instantly lost interest.
As Zu Qi’s manager, he naturally knew who in the circle was close to Zu Qi, but they were all young people about the same age as Zu Qi.
Even though there was a popular young star Heng Jingchen in it, he himself could only get leading male roles in medium-sized dramas. How could he introduce good resources to Zu Qi?
“I’ve been very busy recently. If you need someone to accompany you, just ask Xiao Dengzi to go with you.” Zhou Yan refused coldly, “If there are good results, you can tell me again.”
The Xiao Dengzi mentioned by Zhou Yan was the assistant of the original owner, a boy who had just graduated from college. He had a gentle and honest personality and was very strong-looking. So, everyone preferred to call him Fatty Deng.
In fact, Xiao Dengzi was very kind to the original owner. Not only did he work hard, but he also took good care of the original owner’s life.
It was a pity that he followed the wrong person. The original owner had little status in the company. So, as an assistant, Xiao Dengzi had even less say. He was moved around by Zhou Yan like a brick. He went wherever he was needed.
So much so that Zu Qi had never seen Xiao Dengzi in person.
The funniest thing was that Xiao Dengzi was sent to work for other artists as a favor by Zhou Yan, but the salary he received was still deducted from Zu Qi’s labor remuneration, which was equivalent to using his money to support other people’s assistants.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Zu Qi’s eyes, and he said, “But Xiao Dengzi seems to be working beside Sister Hui. It wouldn’t be a good idea for me to call Xiao Dengzi over directly, right?”
Zhou Yan said disapprovingly: “You can just discuss it with Liu Huishan. Anyway, she will return it after using it, she is not such a stingy person.”
Zu Qi was immediately angry after hearing these words.
Did Zhou Yan really think that Xiao Dengzi was his?
He also said that he would return the person when he was done with it. Xiao Dengzi was an assistant who was supported with his own money, so why should he be sent to others as free labor?
So shameless, he had no idea!
Zu Qi scolded Zhou Yan from head to toe in his heart, but on the surface, he was very calm and responded softly: “Since Brother Zhou has said so, let me go and say hello to Sister Hui.”
After a few perfunctory hums, Zhou Yan hung up the phone in a hurry. His side seemed to be busy. Zu Qi heard someone beside him kept urging Zhou Yan.
Even though it was very low, it was still caught by Zu Qi.
It was Tang Moning’s voice.
Zhou Yan has always supported Tang Moning. It would be really strange if one day they didn’t stick together.
Zu Qi put away his cell phone while thinking about it, squinted his eyes and pondered for a long time, and soon a pure black nanny car slowly stopped in front of him.
“Hi, Zu Qi.” Heng Jingchen rolled down the window and waved to Zu Qi.
Zu Qi quickly put away the unhappy look on his face, subconsciously pulled up the brim of his hat, then got into the car and sat next to Heng Jingchen.
Compared to Heng Jingchen, who had just finished filming and was dressed up brightly, Zu Qi’s equipment made him look like a thief – a three-piece set of baseball cap, sunglasses, and mask, and a thick down jacket pulled directly to his chin. The whole person was so well armed that Zu Qi might not even be able to recognize himself in the mirror.
Heng Jingchen whistled meaningfully.
Zu Qi smiled awkwardly and reached out to take off his sunglasses. Before he could take the next step, Heng Jingchen suddenly stretched out his hand to hold the brim of Zu Qi’s hat that he had lowered deliberately and lifted it up.
Then he saw a pair of beautiful eyes that were as bright as peach blossoms, and he felt a little helpless.
“I remember you never had the habit of wearing these things, right?” Heng Jingchen said with a smile.
“It wasn’t needed before, but now it is.” Zu Qi pulled up the mask and hat and sighed, “People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. I didn’t know those girls could be so crazy before.”
Speaking of this incident, he recalled what happened a few days ago…
Zu Qi felt a little bored after staying at home for a long time, so he walked alone on the path in the villa area to get some fresh air. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter a group of young girls walking towards him.
And the girls immediately recognized Zu Qi.
Immediately afterwards, a very spectacular chasing competition began.
The girls were like wolves seeing sheep, their eyes were shining with excitement, and they chased Zu Qi for almost two hundred meters.
It wasn’t until several security guards who came after hearing the sound stopped the girls in time that Zu Qi was able to escape. He hurriedly returned to Xue’s house in despair, and never dared to go out alone again.
After hearing Zu Qi’s plaintive narration, Heng Jingchen’s face suddenly filled with gloating, and he laughed so hard that he rolled forward and back.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Zu Qi looking at him with cold eyes, and Heng Jingchen’s exaggerated laughter stopped abruptly.
“Ahem, aren’t I just happy for you…” Heng Jingchen cleared his throat, “Look, it’s been two years since your debut, and this is the first time you’ve met such crazy female fans, right? Congratulations, you are finally no longer surrounded by anti-fans.”
Zu Qi: “…They were not my fans.”
Heng Jingchen was stunned: “Then why were they chasing you?”
