The Xue family in the imperial capital, was now being driven to a dead end by several big families, and it was trying to counterattack fiercely, but there was a state of dying. The emperor was in the center of power. One of the family was involved, so they were also more or less implicated. As the leader of this change, the Pei family was naturally unable to stay out of the matter, but because of this, they discovered some shortcomings in the family and took the opportunity to cut off a few malignant tumors.
Hengsheng was the secondary target of the Xue family’s counterattack. During this period, the stock price fluctuated like a roller coaster. Investors who were not strong enough to bear it would be scared by the coquettish K-line chart.
However, Chairman Xue, at the helm of Hengsheng, always looked like “you people really have never seen the world”. The major shareholders who came to find faults all went down, holding the quick-acting heart-saving pills in one hand and staring at them. With the next fluctuation in stock price, the next wave of fault finding was brewing.
“Dad Xue, are you planning to watch your company go bankrupt like this? Don’t plan to do something?” Pei Ziteng was lying halfway on the sofa in the study, rubbing his bulging belly, worrying about his six pack abdominal muscles becoming one piece.
Originally, he planned to go to the company to talk to Xue Chengxiu about the current situation of the imperial capital Xue’s family. But when he met Zhang Zhenqi and his fiancée halfway through, he was agitated by Ge Rui’s words. When he thought of the grilled fish slices he had eaten at the club last time, Pei Ziteng felt shamelessly greedy. So, he immediately formed a group with these two to come to Xue Chengxiu’s house to have a meal.
Before they came, they called Xue Chengxiu specially, but Mr. Xue was very busy, and the call was not received. Pei Ziteng and the three of them then acted as if they were invited and ran to Xue’s villa enthusiastically.
They had been playing with Xue Chengxiu since they were young. Aunt Wang had also watched them grow up. She knew Pei Ziteng and Zhang Zhenqi very well. So, she smiled and greeted them to come in and sit down. It so happened that Yu Siyang also brought a friend home from the audition as well. With so many people, the house hadn’t been so lively for a long time, and Aunt Wang was very happy to take out the various snacks made by Xiao Yu to greet the guests.
They had eaten a lot of snacks in the afternoon, but they couldn’t resist the temptation to eat too much in the evening. Pei Ziteng and Zhang Zhenqi were half paralyzed on the sofa in the same posture, while Xue Chengxiu was still tall and straight, making tea slowly, and responded to Pei Ziteng’s words with a sneer.
What a joke, how could his company be bankrupted by Xue family’s innocent means.
“Qizi, let me tell you a joke,” Pei Ziteng thought of something, suddenly laughed, poked Zhang Zhenqi, and said in a gossipy tone: “Dad Xue is now a representative figure of unscrupulous descendants, and now every family takes him as a negative teaching material.”
Zhang Zhenqi gave him a blank look, and said, “I don’t think this thing is funny.” He didn’t want to think about the reason for Chengxiu doing this as a means of laughter!
“No, I didn’t laugh at that,” Pei Ziteng was staring at the two men with sharp eyes, waving his hands and quickly explained: “My dad, you know, talked to me and my brother and taught the soldiers under his hand the same as us. He beat me when I didn’t agree. I went back a few days ago. He actually greeted me softly, as if his person had changed, and it frightened me. Later, I asked my mother and she told me that he was afraid of forcing me. If I became too ruthless, I may follow in the footsteps of Chengxiu.”
Xue Chengxiu: “…”
Zhang Zhenqi: “…”
Pei Ziteng moved over, patted Xue Chengxiu on the shoulder, and said with great emotion: “Brother, thanks, I hadn’t listened that tone in my life. Dad talked to me so softly, the picture was so beautiful that I dared not even look at it.”
Zhang Zhenqi now understood why Uncle Pei beat Pei Ziteng from childhood to adulthood. If his future children were also so daring, he would also have to do so, not to mention directly using the belt.
“How is Xue Chengji now?” Xue Chengxiu took the brewed tea by himself, not interested in the jokes Pei Ziteng said at all.
Pei Ziteng held his teacup and said in a daunting manner: “What else is going to happen? Naturally, he had to accept the ‘hospitality’ in the detention center.”
Xue Chengxiu asked, “The old man didn’t think of a way to go in and see him?”
“How could it not be possible.” Pei Ziteng sneered. “Don’t worry, there was a jailer watching it, and even a fly can’t get in.”
Xue Chengxiu nodded slightly and said that he knew it.
“That’s it? Mr. Xue, your company is about to go bankrupt. Don’t do anything to make the Xue family stand up again?” Pei Ziteng felt that he was really worried like a little boy, and he was very anxious here. Mr. Xue was still quite motionless, the emperor was really not in a hurry…Bah, bah, he was nothing like that.
“What’s the hurry, it’s not too late for a good show,” Xue Chengxiu chuckled lightly, “wait for the verdict of Yang Yang’s second uncle and aunt’s case to come out, and then do it.”
He can still find opportunities to show affection!!! Pei Ziteng was shocked.
In this world, there was simply no way for single dogs to survive. He would not come to eat a meal for a long time. The three couples showed affection in front of his eyes. It was so spicy that his eyes hurt.
He used to think that being single was fine, but when his friends around him found their companions one by one, they always stuffed him with dog food. After eating tons of dog food, he suddenly felt that being alone was really pitiful.
“When will Xiao Yu’s Second Uncle’s sentence be pronounced?” Zhang Zhenqi asked.
“Next Monday.”
The three were talking, when the study door was knocked, and when Xue Chengxiu said “please come in”, the door was pushed open, Yu Siyang probed in, looked at Pei Ziteng and Zhang Zhenqi and said: “I have soaked some Jian Xiaoshi tea[1], do you want to drink a little?” He also glanced at the bulging stomachs of these two people.
Before he could finish his words, Ge Rui holding a cup of digestion tea, said “I’m going in”, walked into the study and handed the tea to Zhang Zhenqi.
Pei Ziteng watched Ge Rui come in, watched her give tea to Zhang Zhenqi, and watched her wait for Zhang Zhenqi to finish drinking and then take the cup back. He felt sad, and said pitifully, “Isn’t there mine?”
Ge Rui didn’t even look at him. And said directly: “If you want to drink, go down by yourself.”
Pei Ziteng turned his head to look at Yu Siyang, but when Ge Rui came in, Xue Chengxiu left the study and pulled Yu Siyang back to the living room.
The poor single dog could only aggrieve himself to pour tea for himself.
——It is really necessary to join the Association of Care for the Physical and Mental Health of Single Dogs
In the living room, Luo Peng and Zhan Heng were playing with Mu Mu, Nong Yuan and Lin Houzhong were talking, Wei Xiaofeng holding the remote control changed channels every ten seconds, Aunt Wang was complaining about the current TV dramas, while Xue Chengxiu and Yu Siyang sat together on a two-seater sofa, whispering something.
Pei Ziteng poured himself a cup of digestive tea in the kitchen and leaned against the wall of the living room and exchanged glances with Zhang Zhenqi, who had just come out of the study.
Before when they came to play, the huge villa was always deserted, even if there was a child in the house, it was not too lively. Now there was one more person, but the feeling was very different. The house was still the same, but it had a warm atmosphere. In the living room, there were chic decorations for parents and children, the drinking cups were couple cups, and the short table next to the sofa had a photo frame of three people, revealing the atmosphere of “this is a family of three” everywhere.
Mu Mu ran wildly in the living room laughing, avoiding Luo Peng’s big hand that was about to tickle him, threw himself between his father and brother, and hid himself, his round eyes blinking slyly as Luo Peng deliberately pretended to not see him—in fact, he didn’t dare to snatch someone from the boss—after turning and walking away, the little guy ran over and patted Luo Peng’s leg, and then laughed and ran wildly in the living room again.
Pei Ziteng looked at Xue Chengxiu, who was more popular than before, and couldn’t help wondering, it turned out that taking a companion could have such a magical effect, should he also consider finding a companion.
Wei Xiaofeng changed the TV program around, and found no good programs, so he gave the remote control to Aunt Wang, sat on the sofa next to Yu Siyang, and said: “I heard Luo Peng say, the cover editor of MODE embarrassed you.”
“No.” Yu Siyang shook his head. He had never seen the cover editor of MODE. He didn’t know him before. Why would the other embarrass him?!
Wei Xiaofeng frowned and looked up at Luo Peng who was acting like a horse for the child, “Luo Peng, didn’t you say Darcy was embarrassing Xiao Yu?”
“No,” Luo Peng said while running with Xue Yunmu on his shoulders: “I mean, after that perverted sissy came to shoot Xiao Yu on the cover, I went to inquire. For this Christmas special, the perverted sissy set Shi Zhen to shoot the cover, but the owner of P&H is rich, and used the money to smash Shi Zhen to the inside page. The yin and yang are weird, Shi Zhen’s endorsement was robbed by Xiao Yu, and now the cover has been robbed, and it is estimated that he is vomiting blood with anger.”
“Don’t give people a nickname casually.” Wei Xiaofeng was dissatisfied.
“Hey, I think this nickname is appropriate.” Zhan Heng said with a grin. He had shot the cover of “MODE Impression” before and was tossed by this hermaphrodite cover editor. Now he was beaten to death. And no one agreed to shoot the cover of “MODE Impression”.
“Brother Zhan, you are really my confidant.” Luo Peng said that he could briefly abandon his black fan status and recognize Zhan Heng as his confidant.
Wei Xiaofeng slashed over with an eye knife, Zhan Heng’s triumphant expression stiffened, and he said, “Cough cough, don’t give people a nickname, so as not to teach children bad things.”
Luo Peng: “…” Sure enough, he still couldn’t turn white.
“The head of the group is going to shoot a cover?” Ge Rui joined the topic strongly, and went online in a second, “When will the publication be published? I must buy it. Hey, head of the group, those sets you wore in the commercial, I bought all the clothes.”
Luo Peng held Xue Yunmu high and asked with a wretched smile: “Did you buy the underwear?”
“Of course.” Ge Rui nodded wildly.
“What underwear?” Xue Chengxiu and Zhang Zhenqi asked at the same time.
Yu Siyang realized what was going on with the “underwear” they were talking about, his face flushed suddenly, and he looked at Ge Rui dumbfounded, his mouth opening and closing, but unable to speak.
Wei Xiaofeng held his forehead, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Pei Ziteng was also very interested to join in the fun and asked: “Brother Xiao Yu, why are you so red?”
“Haha, no, nothing.” Yu Siyang wanted to recover his image now.
Today, the P&H advertisement was released. He had been preparing for the audition, and he was not in the mood to watch his first commercial until he was sure about the role of Xie Xuan.
While shooting, when the photographer asked him to take off his gown, he was actually very embarrassed, but he was endorsing the whole series of products. This “full series” naturally included the underwear series, and as a dedicated spokesperson, what was to be worn had to be worn.
But seeing that he wore only an underwear in the commercial, Yu Siyang felt that he couldn’t look directly at anybody. He was really ashamed. This feeling of shame arrived when he saw the comments made by fans on his Weibo.
“What’s the matter?” Xue Chengxiu asked Yu Siyang.
Yu Siyang scratched his cheeks, and mumbled, “It’s the P&H commercial I went to shoot, I told you.”
“What does that have to do with underwear?” Xue Chengxiu asked.
“This, this…” Yu Siyang hesitated, always feeling that it would be miserable to tell Mr. Xue the truth. Look, he put on the face of such an authoritative parent again, and it was terrifying to see him be serious.
Xue Chengxiu stopped questioning his child, and he used his agent to perform the operation: “Luo Peng.”
“Here.” Luo Peng stood attentively, and under the threat of the boss’s eyes that “you will die if you didn’t say it,” he took out the phone tremblingly and opened the video player, clicked to play the full version of the ad video he downloaded in the afternoon.
A group of people-including Nong Yuan, Lin Houzhong and Aunt Wang were curiously gathered around to watch the commercial.
Then…
Yu Siyang’s masculine naked back was displayed in front of everyone… Aunt Wang said with great interest: “Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu is thin, but his butt is still quite fleshy.”
Ge Rui nodded wildly. She took Aunt Wang’s arm and said: “Isn’t that right? The figure of the head was still unexpected.”
Zhang Zhenqi’s face turned black immediately, and he glared at his fiancee.
——What does his fiancee mean by admiring the figure of other men so much? What she admires is still that kind of part, tell him whether it’s tolerable or unbearable.
——Furthermore, how can a shrewd woman who is so appropriate on weekdays short-circuit her brain when she meets Yu Siyang that she doesn’t even observe the surrounding situation. Didn’t she see Xue Chengxiu’s face turn as black as the bottom of the pot?
Xue Chengxiu’s face was terribly ugly, and he resisted the urge to take this commercial off the shelves and kept telling himself in his heart that it would not be good if the first commercial for his child was taken off the shelves as soon as it was released. It was absolutely harmful to his career. No benefit, don’t be impulsive, impulse is the devil…
“So, you just saw this advertisement and bought the underwear that Yang Yang wore?” Xue Chengxiu stared at Ge Rui with an uncomfortable expression.
Ge Rui was frightened by seeing Xue Chengxiu, and hid behind Zhang Zhenqi, then thought again: What’s wrong with my support for idol’s business as a fan, and I just bought the same model, not all the products. I’m upright and proud, even if Xue Chengxiu is the leader’s boyfriend, he had no right to control what I buy.
“Yes.” Ge Rui said in a loud voice: “This underwear has been sold out, but I managed to get it in seconds.”
Everyone: “…”
Do you need to speak so loudly?
“Mr. Xue.”
Yu Siyang poked Xue Chengxiu’s arm lightly, and his cautious appearance made Xue Chengxiu’s heart suddenly soften.
But his softheartedness was only limited to his own children. He was more ruthless to Wei Xiaofeng and Luo Peng than the autumn wind was when sweeping the fallen leaves. “That’s how you control the shooting content as an agent?”
Wei Xiaofeng complained in his heart: not even naked. That’s it. If Xiao Yu does kiss scenes in the future, the boss’s heart which is not much bigger than the eye of a needle, wouldn’t it have to soak in vinegar[2].
Of course, this kind of inner thoughts must not be said, lest the boss who had been secretly in love for too long and had been mentally perverted, got angered and puts on small shoes[3].
“The content of the filming is for me to check and communicate with the manufacturer. I have been in the industry for so many years and have enough professional judgment to see how high the topic of Xiao Yu is now.” Wei Xiaofeng said righteously and strictly.
Wow, he dared to attack the boss, Xiaofeng was mighty and domineering. Luo Peng looked at Wei Xiaofeng with admiration.
Xue Chengxiu was too lazy to argue with Wei Xiaofeng about professionalism, so he turned his attention to Zhan Heng and said, “That is to say, if there is a large-scale movie to be shot by Zhan Heng, which can have a high degree of topicality, he can strip off his clothing. It shouldn’t matter if he is filming.”
Zhan Heng was also shot while lying down, looking at Wei Xiaofeng innocently, and blinking, as if saying, “Don’t sacrifice me.”
Wei Xiaofeng looked at him and was defeated in one second.
Where did he learn this dog-like expression? It’s really…
“Boss, it was my professional mistake this time. Please forgive me.” Wei Xiaofeng surrendered.
“This year’s bonus will be deducted by 50%.” Xue Chengxiu said, taking advantage.
Wei Xiaofeng: “…”
Pei Ziteng added fuel to the fire, “Daddy Xue is the most vengeful, so don’t offend him.”
“Mr. Xue,” Yu Siyang poked Xue Chengxiu again, looking at him pleadingly, “Don’t be angry, or punish me.”
Xue Chengxiu rubbed his hair, this idiot, he just warned the two people not to give anything messy to him next time, how could he really punish Wei Xiaofeng with his bonus?
Lin Houzhong noticed that it was not too early and said goodbye.
When Yu Siyang invited him, it was to give Zhan Heng face, and to have a meal together, it was also considered the first step in building a good relationship.
Lin Houzhong was in a very good position in the circle. Many people respected him as Teacher Lin, but it was an indisputable fact that he had not been popular, but there were often cases of violent popularity, which could be regarded as a strange phenomenon in the entertainment industry.
Nowadays, there were many newcomers like Yu Siyang who rose so fast, but there were very few who were full of high-quality resources like him. To make friends with such newcomers, in Lin Houzhong’s view, was good for him as well. Actors who had been tepid for more than one or two decades were also good, so he gave the newcomer face and came over to have a meal with Zhan Heng.
But he didn’t expect that after such a trip, there would be unexpected gains-he met Hengsheng’s boss.
Lin Houzhong was older than the others and had no common topics. Except for Zhan Heng, the others were not familiar, so he had been chatting with the older Nong Yuan.
He wanted to have a few words with Xue Chengxiu. It happened that he had a project for which he wanted to attract investment. It would be great to be able to get Hengsheng Capital.
But the occasion was wrong, so Lin Houzhong had to hold back his thoughts.
At this moment, Yu Siyang was also relieved that he wanted to leave.
At that time, he invited Lin Houzhong to be a guest because he happened to be there with Brother Zhan, and he promised to let Brother Zhan come to have a meal, so he asked him by the way. He also thought that Teacher Lin was not familiar with him and would not agree, but he actually agreed.
Yu Siyang was really stunned at the time, and instinctively thought that this old opera bone was too familiar.
He didn’t know how to deal with strangers, and there were quite a lot of people in the living room at home, so he hadn’t paid attention to this old drama player. Fortunately, Uncle Nong had been helping him entertain him, so that people didn’t feel left out.
“Take this back and try it.” Yu Siyang quickly ran to take a gift bag and handed it to Lin Houzhong, which contained some cakes he made himself.
Lin Houzhong took it and smiled: “So I’ll be welcome again?”
Yu Siyang smiled embarrassedly and sent Lin Houzhong out the door.
Lin Houzhong’s driver had been waiting for him outside. When he saw him coming out, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door of the back seat.
Lin Houzhong got into the car, rolled down the window, and said to Yu Siyang, “Thank you for today, and I will contact you whenever I have time.”
Yu Siyang nodded and watched the car drive far away before returning to the house.
As soon as he entered, he heard Mr. Xue’s cold voice, saying: “When are you going to leave?”
“Dad Xue, are you so disgusted with us? It’s really sad.” Pei Ziteng pretended to cry.
Xue Chengxiu used practical actions to express his dislike-walked directly to the door, folded his hands, and waited for these shiny light bulbs to disappear consciously.
“Okay, okay, if someone has a new person, they shouldn’t let the old person go, I will leave now.” Pei Ziteng took his coat and walked to Xue Chengxiu’s side and reminded: “Next Monday, don’t forget, otherwise you can go over there. I can’t stand it anymore.”
“Yeah.” Xue Chengxiu nodded.
Zhang Zhenqi also patted him on the shoulder and said, “If there is anything that can be done by us brothers, please don’t be a stranger.”
Xue Chengxiu said, “Let your wife take the underwear she bought…”
“Dream on!” Ge Rui was furious, so before Xue Chengxiu finished speaking, she took her fiancé and left quickly.
Luo Peng was irritated by the boss, so he also ran away as if fleeing.
Wei Xiaofeng cursed secretly, “Not promising”, but the speed of his going out was not slow at all. While Zhan Heng was very happy to be held by him.
After a while, everyone in the house was gone, and only the owner of the house, Nong Yuan and Aunt Wang were left.
Mu Mu had been playing crazily for several hours, and now he was too sleepy. He kept rubbing his eyes, and Aunt Wang immediately led him to wash and sleep.
Nong Yuan also said, “Oh, I’ve become an old man, I’m sleepy too. I feel sleepier as I get older.” After saying that, he entered his temporary guest room.
Only Xue Chengxiu and Yu Siyang were left in the living room.
“No more undressing commercials are allowed in the future.” Xue Chengxiu still worried, thinking that at least millions of people would have seen his child’s naked back, and he was very depressed.
However, this child’s butt was indeed very fleshy, round and full, and it must feel very good in the hand.
Yu Siyang didn’t know that Mr. Xue’s thinking was like a wild horse. He just hummed and said, “Yes, Dad Xue.”
Xue Chengxiu’s breathing fell stagnant, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
