Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 420 The Money-Giving Auntie Is Immortal (5)
Zhou Shichu and Wu Siyan took little Fu Lin to the supermarket outside the community to buy a new ball. Lin Lin was so happy that he kept pestering Zhou Shichu to play ball with her. Zhou Shichu played with him for more than ten minutes before other children came and joined in, so she was able to leave.
Wu Siyan, as Linlin's uncle, sat upright on a chair beside him. Zhou Shichu walked over and sat down beside him with some resentment, saying, "Aren't you going to play with your little nephew?"
Wu Siyan looked at Zhou Shichu, smiled and said, "I see you are having a lot of fun playing with him, you don't even need me."
Zhou Shichu had just finished exercising. She was sweating and her cheeks were stained red, which made her look particularly energetic. Wu Siyan took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handed it to her, and said, "Wipe the sweat off."
Zhou Shichu didn't bother to be polite with him. He took it and wiped the sweat off his face and neck.
"Do you live in this community?" Wu Siyan watched his handkerchief wiping across the slender swan neck of the woman next to him, and suddenly felt his throat a little dry.
Zhou Shichu nodded and said, "My home is right here." After wiping the sweat and cooling down for a while, she wanted to go home, but looking at the handkerchief in her hand that she had used to wipe the sweat, she felt a little embarrassed. It would be embarrassing to return it if it was dirty, but it seemed impossible not to return it either, after all, the handkerchief was delicate and obviously not a disposable item.
Wu Siyan seemed to see her embarrassment and said kindly, "I have a lot of handkerchiefs at home. I'll give this one to you."
"Thank you then. Next time I'll make some snacks for you. Which floor do you live on?" Zhou Shichu asked immediately.
"Room 402, 4th floor, Building B, is my parents' home. I rarely go back here." Wu Siyan replied.
Zhou Shichu understood that he must be living in the house assigned by the research institute or other places with better security, so he said with some regret: "It seems that I have to rely on my luck if I want to meet Mr. Wu."
Wu Siyan took out his phone and said, "Actually, there's no need to push your luck... Let's add each other on WeChat. Fu Lin seems to like you very much. We can come down and play together later."
Zhou Shichu didn't think much about it and added him on WeChat. Then he said goodbye to little Fu Lin who was sweating profusely while playing and went home.
Wu Siyan looked through Zhou Shichu's circle of friends. The first few posts were all about food. Either she reviewed a dish from a certain restaurant, or she showed off her own cooking. The latest one happened to be a photo of a few home-cooked dishes she made.
The ones before that are forwardings of information about the financial industry, all of which are about work, with basically no content about life.
Wu Siyan looked at the two completely different posts on WeChat Moments and guessed that Zhou Shichu must have had a big change in his life recently, most likely resigning. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly become a different person, with such different interests.
Of course, he didn't expect that Zhou Shichu had really become a different person.
Zhou Shichu returned home and washed and hung up the handkerchief given to him by Wu Siyan. He planned to return it to Fu Lin when he met him one day. After all, it was his uncle's thing.
Half a month later, Zhou Shichu successfully resigned from the company and became an unemployed vagrant. After recuperating at home, he traveled all over the country.
Zhou Shichu was walking in the airport with a suitcase. As soon as he entered, he heard deafening shouts and screams: "Lin Zhiyue! Lin Zhiyue! I love you..."
"Lin Zhiyue, wait for us, don't leave in a hurry!"
"Yueyue! Smile and take a photo..."
…
The excited and fanatical fans rushed towards the tall and handsome male star in the crowd like zombies just out of a cage, ignoring the obstruction of bodyguards and security personnel.
Zhou Shichu frowned. There were too many fanatical fans, rushing around and blocking her way. She impatiently pushed away the screaming star-chasing girl who was squeezing on her. Suddenly, someone stepped on her foot. She came out angrily, glaring at Lin Zhiyue who was still signing autographs for fans. She grabbed a staff member nearby and asked, "When will this star leave? Is no one going to care if he's blocking the way?"
The staff member was sweating profusely from his busy work. When he heard Zhou Shichu's unhappy question, he could only smile bitterly and said, "I don't know either. These fans are too crazy. Even the bodyguards and security personnel can't stop them. I can only hope that Lin Zhiyue will finish signing as soon as possible."
Zhou Shichu took out her cell phone and saw that she had booked a first-class ticket, so she asked the staff to take her through the VIP channel so that she would not miss her boarding time.
But when she got on the plane, she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her, blocking her way to her seat.
Zhou Shichu: Does she have a grudge against this Lin Zhiyue? Is he blocking her way?
Zhou Shichu patted Lin Zhiyue's shoulder impatiently: "Hey!"
Lin Zhiyue was even more impatient than her. He frowned, turned around and said unhappily, "What? You want an autograph again? Hurry up and get the paper and pen out. I don't have time to waste with you!"
Zhou Shichu looked at him with a cold expressionless face. Before he could say anything, Lin Zhiyue couldn't wait any longer: "What are you standing there for? You've already chased me all the way to the first class cabin. Can't you fans have some sense of propriety? Don't give me some private space? Don't push your luck. I'm giving you an autograph because you're my fan. Don't be too greedy and still want to take a photo with me..."
"I'm not your fan." Zhou Shichu looked at him coldly, "You're blocking my way. I just want you to make way."
When Lin Zhiyue heard this, he saw that Zhou Shichu really had no shy admiration for him, and it was obvious that he was not really a fan of his. So he blushed with shame, and said angrily: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"
After saying that, he made way for Zhou Shichu. Zhou Shichu rolled his eyes and walked away, ignoring him completely.
Lin Zhiyue was both ashamed and angry, but he had no way to deal with Zhou Shichu, so he could only kick the seat next to him angrily and sit back in his seat.
Zhou Shichu just ignored these stars who were so obsessed with their fans that they went crazy. They had few serious works, but countless other messy hypes. Their inflated popularity was like castles in the air. It would be fine if such traffic stars did not get into trouble, but if something went wrong, there would be no confidence to save them.
Lin Zhiyue actually has a complicated relationship with Zhou Shichu, because he was Zhou Shi's college friend and has a good relationship with Zhou Shi now.
In the original fate of the original owner, Zhou Shi inherited the original owner's inheritance, saved the company, and then rose strongly. Lin Zhiyue, because of his good relationship with him, took advantage of his influence and thrived in the entertainment industry. He successfully transformed from a traffic star to a powerful actor, and finally became a respected movie emperor.
It would be strange if Zhou Shichu could be happy seeing him now, as he was another person who followed Zhou Shi to rise to prominence.
