Jian Qiaoxin felt his scalp get numb when he saw the man being like this, he then wondered if he had not done a good job and had provoked the boss.
Actually, he did not want to get too involved with Yan Gan, in general, Yan Gan was also the biggest investor of the drama. The man could have him replaced with just one word.
Haiz, why was he so unlucky? He encountered the big boss wherever he went.
Fortunately, when he went to bed at night, he slept alone on the first floor and the other man was on the second floor, they both were staying far apart.
After washing up, Jian Qiaoxin finally took out the phone that he had not touched since the afternoon. There were more than 100 missed calls, and there were countless unread messages in WeChat.
As he was looking through them, the screen showed an incoming call.
Jian Qiaoxin hesitated for a while, then answered: "Hello?"
"Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin, you finally answered the phone. You know how worried I was." Qiu Jian's anxious voice came: "Where are you?"
Jian Qiaoxin just took a shower and was drying his hair with a towel: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Qiu Jian reluctantly said: "Are you still angry at me? Where are you, I will come to you."
"Qiu Jian, we've broken up, don't look for me anymore." Jian Qiaoxin put down the wet towel and walked to the window to open it: "That's all, I'm hanging up."
Qiu Jian on the other end of the phone seemed to hit something, and his foreboding voice came: "Xiao Xin, don't be like this. There is nothing between me and Wen Yuan, why do you want to break up because of him, an insignificant person? You're willing to end our relationship of five years. I know I'm wrong, please don't leave. I'll go find you, yeah?"
He pressed the end call button, and Jian Qiaoxin dragged the name into the blacklist; he made his bed and was ready to go to sleep.
The next day
The weather was nice today. It was noon when he woke up from his sleep.
When Jian Qiaoxin went downstairs, Da Gua was immersed in his homework in the corridor downstairs. Upon hearing the sound of someone coming downstairs, the child turned his head: "Brother Xiao Xin!"
Jian Qiaoxin waved at him: "Morning."
He looked around, a little scared of where Yan Gan would come out.
"Brother Xiao Xin is looking for Uncle Yan?" Da Gua pointed outside: "Uncle Yan left early in the morning, and he said next time he comes, he will bring me a toy car."
Jian Qiaoxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said sternly: "I wasn't looking for him, don't talk nonsense."
Da Gua smiled, biting his pen: "Brother Xiao Xin, Uncle Yan is so handsome, more handsome than our school's physical education teacher. He is still the big boss and often buys things for us. I will grow up to be like him."
Jian Qiaoxin felt quite amazed how important it is for the elders to play a positive role to children.
He touched Da Gua's head: "Yes, you have to study hard and become the big boss in the future."
Da Gua looked very happy and had more motivation to learn, so he immersed himself in the homework problems, and was not even interested in going out to play.
Jian Qiaoxin stood up and said, "I'll make breakfast, and when Grandpa comes back from his walk, tell him that I will head back to A City in the evening."
Jian Qiaoxin said: "Pretty soon."
There was still a scene to shoot tomorrow, he could just drag his suitcase into the filming crew. The filming crew usually prepared a hotel for actors who live far away to stay there until they finished the filming.
Jian Qiaoxin took a two-day break, and the crew had not changed much since he left, so he was still busy.
Director Wang found him: "Xiao Xin, we have to do outdoor shootings in the next few days, are you okay?"
Jian Qiaoxin said: "Director, do they involve hanging on wire?"
"Yes." Director Wang sighed with his chubby beer belly.
Jian Qiaoxin nodded understandingly: "No problem, I can do it."
Director Wang was not worried about him; however, the other young ancestor [1], he could only say: "Mr. Yan has arranged two acting teachers for him, so he should be better than last time."
About how much better, no one could tell.
Jian Qiaoxin smiled: "I see."
He wasn't completely unprepared. Yesterday he bought knee pads and tied them around his legs. This time he could be tossing around on them. He might get a little tired, but it did not matter, as long as he could still walk. He was fully armed.
So when the group went to an outdoor shooting again, the staff of various departments were ready, and the filming officially started.
On the clapperboard: "Act 1, scene 20 of "Wangjiang Pavilion"! Action!"
Above the inn, someone spoke insultingly with harassing intention.
Jian Qiaoxin drew his sword: "We were being nice yet you took it for granted, do you really think we can be bullied that easily?"
He jumped down from the upper floor, his white clothes fluttering, his toes stepped on the table, his posture was calm, as if he were stepping on a lotus flower.
A sword was unsheathed in his hand, stunning all directions.
Because this scene required two people to jump down together, but when Jian Qiaoxin had landed, Wen Yuan almost fell down crookedly on the way.
From the director's booth: "Cut!"
Because this was Wen Yuan's own actions, everyone still thought it was nothing, but as it went on to later scenes, the people at the site could notice something very intriguing.
A scene that could be done swiftly, as long as it involved Jian Qiaoxin, Wen Yuan would definitely make some mistakes, and he had Jian Qiaoxin redoing the scene back and forth many times.
The whole crew did not rest until lunch time.
After the filming, he came to find Jian Qiaoxin: "Xiao Xin, are you okay, I'm sorry, I was so clumsy, I'm causing you trouble again."
Jian Qiaoxin glanced sideways at him: "It's okay."
"Impossible! Ah, I mean, if you are tired, don't pretend to be okay. I'm really sorry." Wen Yuan stood in front of him, his head was low with a well-behaved appearance.
Jian Qiaoxin waved his hand: "Are you really sorry to me?"
Wen Yuan nodded: "Yes."
"Then you should do less NGs. After all, not like I'm the only one you have to work with in the future."
Beyond this mountain is another mountain, there is another sky beyond this sky; I don't have the ability to tell you off, but others can. If you have the ability, you will become a legend someday. I will see how long Yan Gan can protect you.
Wen Yuan's face looked a little ugly: "What do you mean?"
"The literal meaning." Jian Qiaoxin's beautiful face had a smile on it, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "As for whether I'm tired or not, don't bother yourself with it. We have been filming all morning, I think you must be tired."
Wan Yuan felt like his insides burned with anger at hearing these words, he glared at Jian Qiaoxin, seeming to breathe fire at him.
Jian Qiaoxin had no time to play mind games with him: "If there's nothing, I'm leaving now."
The hospital incident made him understand that it was impossible for him and Wen Yuan to have a good relationship and become friends. Now that the matter had become a foregone conclusion, he did not have to endure the other's arrorange.
Wen Yuan's private lounge.
"Bang!"
The glass was thrown on the ground. Wen Yuan was sitting on the sofa and was very angry. His pretty little face was stained with red of anger, and he had nowhere to vent them out.
The assistant, who got kicked out by him, stood outside the door and didn't dare to go in.
Wen Yuan said unscrupulously: "Jian Qiaoxin, you bitch!"
The person in front of Wen Yuan was his agent, Jiang Cheng. It could be said that Jiang Chen had some contributions to Wen Yuan's spoiled and arrogant character today. Originally, Jiang Cheng did not have any connections in this industry at all. Thanks to his luck for having Wen Yuan as his artist, this hard-to-please young ancestor but also his money tree. Of course, he did not have to compete with other agents for Wen Yuan's resources, because the big boss behind Wen Yuan had the great power and good resources that they needed.
So the agent and Wen Yuan were actually relying on Yan Gan for income. Although Jiang Cheng didn't like Wen Yuan, he was a grasshopper on a rope. He had no choice but to think for Wen Yuan.
Jiang Cheng reassured him: "You should be more prudent. It's true that you're in the wrong just now. Since you are doing your work, you have to produce good results. If you keep doing this, the director will also be very angry. In the future, you will just be wandering around in this circle with no achievement."
Wen Yuan gritted his teeth after hearing this: "What the hell are you talking about, Yan Gan has the resources, do I still need to be afraid that no one would want to sign me on their movies? That Jian Qiaoxin bitch, who he thinks he is to give me a moral lesson!"
Jiang Cheng sighed: "So you should know that everything you have now is given by Mr. Yan."
Wen Yuan was the epitome of having a fool's luck. With Yan Gan's status, he was the highly desirable male partner in everyone's dream; there were many people who would love to flock around him.
Jiang Cheng sighed: "Look at Jian Qiaoxin, he has no background, look at how much hardship did he have to suffer?"
The other boy had to withstand every mocking and criticism to stand in this industry. If Wen Yuan were Jian Qiaoxin, Jiang Cheng was sure that Wen Yuan would commit suicide due to depression.
"Don't mention Jian Qiaoxin, I really can't stand that Jian Qiaoxin person. You know, that time in the hospital, he and A Gan were ganging up on me, I knew that he was bad news. Especially just now, I, I called A Gan and told him what he did on the crew today. Guess what A Gan said?"
Jiang Cheng became a little interested: "What?"
"He told me to restrain myself, and don't always pay attention to Jian Qiaoxin!" Wen Yuan got all furious: "A Gan would never say such things before. He has always been protecting me. Fuck, this bitch Jian Qiaoxin must have seduce him! Shameless bitch, vixen whore, seducing someone else's boyfriend!"
Jiang Cheng: "......"
When Wen Yuan said that, Jiang Cheng really felt that Jian Qiaoxin could be a threat to them.
As far as he knew, Yan Gan was an indiscriminate person who protected his lover at all costs. Wen Yuan used to bully people before, even if he knew it was Wen Yuan's fault, Yan Gan never said anything. Instead, he would let his people deal with the aftermath.
He and Wen Yuan were now able to use resources lavishly, and Wen Yuan was able to vent out his anger here. It was all because of Yan Gan's favor. To put it bluntly, without the favor, Wen Yuan was nothing.
Everything was fine. According to Yan Gan's character, he looked down on this kind of petty act, and he would definitely not care about the unknown people like Jian Qiaoxin.
But things were a bit unusual now, Yan Gan actually warned Wen Yuan for someone...
Now Wen Yuan had already disappointed the big boss. If Jian Qiaoxin was really capable and was able to hook up with Mr. Yan, then he and Wen Yuan would end badly.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while: "Do you really hate Jian Qiaoxin so much?"
Wen Yuan said firmly: "Yes! I can't wait for him to disappear immediately and stop pestering Brother Jian."
"It's actually not that difficult." Jiang Cheng's mouth evoked a dangerous smile: "Either we don't do it, or we must do it thoroughly, listen to me."1
Later.
Jian Qiaoxin came out of the mall, and he walked to the hotel with a few shopping bags.
"It's already past eleven o'clock..."
He said to himself after seeing the time on his newly bought phone. He had thrown out a lot of things when he moved, and he needed to buy some new stuff too. He saw that he had a little time tonight.
Because the hotels around the film and television city were fully booked, the crew had booked a room for him at a hotel in the outskirts. It was relatively remote. The streets outside the hotel were quite empty. The taxi driver was not willing to go any further after night falls, so he could only carry the bag and walked to the hotel.
When passing by the road, there was the sound of the engine speeding in the dark not far away, and a high beam came on. Jian Qiaoxin's eyes narrowed slightly, and the car rushed straight to him.
"Watch out!"
"Boom!"
The sound of car brakes pierced the sky, the contents of the shopping bag were scattered all around, and blood slowly overflowed on the asphalt road. Jian Qiaoxin's eyes widened and trembled: "Qiu, Qiu Jian?"
Qiu Jian, who fell on the ground, was bathed in blood. Jian Qiaoxin crawled up to him with shaking hands and feet: "Qiu Jian, don't scare me, are you okay?"2
Qiu Jian's eyes closed tightly, and the driver who caused the accident rolled down the driver's seat window: "I...I killed someone?"
Jian Qiaoxin yelled at him: "What are you doing in a daze, call an ambulance!"
