Chapter 323 Bonus Chapter

323:

When Zeng Chong heard Mu Shaowu say that Ye Qingxi wasn't going, he nodded, feeling that he wasn't surprised at all!

After all, his father couldn't have done it either when he encountered this situation.

He also said that I don't need to tell him about such things in the future.

How could they not be father and son? Zeng Chong exclaimed, "Even if they aren't related by blood, they must be related by soul!"

With such a dismissive attitude towards the Spring Festival Gala, it's estimated that there's no third person in the entire country who would do that.

He called back the person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala, subtly conveying Ye Qingxi's refusal.

The person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala: ...Well, actually someone declined their offer.

"What about Teacher Mu?" the person in charge asked. "Does he have time?"

Even without fish and shrimp, Mu Shaowu is still a top star!

It would be great if he could come and sing a song!

Zeng Chong: ...Then I guess there won't be any time.

"I probably won't be able to get over to Teacher Mu's side either," he said.

This isn't the fault of the person in charge; the director of the Spring Festival Gala is different every year, so naturally the person in charge of artist coordination is also different.

When Mu Shaowu refused before, the person in charge wasn't the one who is now, so naturally they didn't know that Mu Shaowu had already refused once before his son.

The person in charge of the Spring Festival Gala: ...Well, he tried his best anyway.

Both the son and the father were invited.

It's because nobody's coming!

What can he do?

The person in charge has no choice but to give up.

After adjusting to the time difference and getting enough rest, Ye Qingxi finally returned to school.

Zhong Yan saw him from afar and immediately flew over like a wild goose.

He hugged Ye Qingxi and said happily, "I saw it, you won an award."

Ye Qingxi smiled.

He knew that when he got back to the hotel after receiving the award, he saw the messages that Zhong Yan and the others had sent him.

"Where's your trophy?" Zhong Yan asked curiously. "I want to see it."

"At my house, after school today, come to my house with me and I'll show you."

“Okay,” Zhong Yan replied.

"Xiao Xi, you're amazing!" Zhong Yan couldn't help but praise, "I can't sing, act, and win awards all at the same time."

“But you’re pretty!” Ye Qingxi said.

“You’re pretty too!” Zhong Yan said sweetly.

"You have a good personality~" Ye Qingxi said.

"You have a great personality too~"

“Then you can run faster than me,” Ye Qingxi said.

Zhong Yan smiled and said, "It seems so."

Ye Qingxi affectionately held his hand, "You definitely have many strengths that I have, you just haven't shown them yet!"

Zhong Yan nodded, happily waving his hand as they walked towards the classroom.

As soon as Ye Qingxi entered the classroom, she was greeted by a series of exclamations.

"Xiao Xi, you're amazing!"

"Xiaoxi, you won an award?!"

"What is that golden phoenix? What does it look like?"

"Xiaoxi, can I see your trophy?!"

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

No, how would they know?

We can't have the whole class seen the trending topics, can we?!

"Make way, make way." At the crucial moment, Chen Xiang appeared out of nowhere and quickly pushed through the crowd to escort Ye Qingxi back to her seat.

Taking the opportunity, Ye Qingxi asked him, "How did they know I won an award?"

"Of course it was me who said it!" Chen Xiang said proudly.

He looked at Ye Qingxi and said, "Don't worry, I announced to the whole class the day after you won the award that you won that Golden Phoenix Award."

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

Ye Qingxi was both amused and exasperated.

"Why did you tell your classmates?"

He had just taken leave and was preparing to receive the award when he thought that since he had already told Pei Liang and the others, he might as well tell Chen Xiang, his unofficial manager, as well. Otherwise, if Chen Xiang felt that Zhong Yan and the others knew everything, but he knew nothing, which was not like being a manager at all, he might be sad.

Although it was just playing house, Ye Qingxi felt bad about upsetting Chen Xiang because of his enthusiasm.

“It’s a good thing you won an award, of course we should publicize it!” Chen Xiang said confidently.

Ye Qingxi: ...There's no need to publicize it so widely.

"I still want to keep a low profile," he said softly.

Chen Xiang nodded. "Understood."

"Then I won't promote it to the other classes for now."

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

"Are you still planning to promote this to other classes?"

“Yes.” Chen Xiang didn’t see anything wrong with it at all.

Ye Qingxi would definitely be too embarrassed to say it himself, so how could he let everyone know that he won an award and that he was so amazing?

Of course, we have to rely on him as our agent!

"I was planning to help you spread the word so that the whole school would know."

Ye Qingxi: !!

There's absolutely no need for that!

"But since you said you wanted to keep a low profile, then I won't say anything."

Ye Qingxi nodded, "That's a good girl."

"I'll help you promote it after the movie is released," Chen Xiang said enthusiastically.

Ye Qingxi: ...

Ye Qingxi asked curiously, "How will you help me promote it?"

"I'll have my whole family go! My aunts, uncles, cousins, and other relatives, I won't leave anyone out!" Chen Xiang looked at him. "Don't worry, my New Year's red envelopes are huge, I can invite a lot of them."

Ye Qingxi was immediately amused by his words.

Looking at the child in front of him, he felt that the child was really innocent and cute.

"Then I'll send you a red envelope too."

"No need, no need," Chen Xiang refused. "You've already given me a gift."

He shook the smartwatch on his wrist.

Since receiving this gift, Chen Xiang's enthusiasm as an agent has burned even brighter!

“That’s different,” Ye Qingxi said. “This is a compliment to you.”

"Praise me?" Chen Xiang asked, puzzled.

"Hmm." Ye Qingxi looked at him. "I'm praising you for doing a good job as an agent, it's like a scholarship."

Chen Xiang burst out laughing instantly, "Really?! You think I did a good job?!"

"certainly."

"Can I continue to be your agent in the future?"

“Sure,” Ye Qingxi said.

Chen Xiang was happy.

He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he said somewhat shyly, "I think I did pretty well on my midterm exams this time."

The implication is: I can gradually improve in the future, go to the same school as you, and be your manager forever.

Ye Qingxi clearly didn't understand his implied meaning and simply said, "That's great. If you ever have any questions in the future, you can come and ask me."

"Mm." Chen Xiang smiled.

He thought Ye Qingxi was really great, no wonder she was a big star.

He's a good student, so they made him their agent and praised him!

Now we even encourage him to ask us anything he doesn't understand!

If he could, he would want to be his manager for life!

Thinking this, Chen Xiang happily returned to his seat.

Looking at his back, Ye Qingxi thought he was quite an interesting kid.

The midterm exam results came out the next day.

Ye Qingxi took a look at Chen Xiang's ranking, and she was stunned.

His little wild agent's assessment of a good exam result was that he was 31st in the class?

This isn't right!

However, Chen Xiang himself was very happy.

He nodded after seeing the rankings, "I did pretty well on the test this time."

Ye Qingxi: ...Yours is good, mine is good, but they seem different.

Ye Qingxi didn't participate this time, and Pei Liang indeed won first place.

Ye Qingxi thought he would be very happy, but Pei Liang sighed instead.

Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?

"Why are you sighing at number one?"

Pei Liang looked at him, "The higher you climb, the colder it gets. How lonely it is to be invincible~"

Ye Qingxi: ...

Kang Cong: ...

“You won’t be lonely for long,” Zhong Yan said mercilessly. “This time it’s because Xiao Xi isn’t here, but next time Xiao Xi is here for the final exam, you won’t be number one.”

Pei Liang rested her chin on her hand and looked at Ye Qingxi, "Then I'm really looking forward to it~"

Ye Qingxi: ...

What a cool guy!

Isn't he really the male protagonist of some novel?!

After Ye Qingxi won the award, film and television offers followed one after another.

Even Director Yan, who had previously rejected Mu Shaowu, called him again, saying that the role would definitely be challenging for Ye Qingxi and that he could give it a try.

Mu Shaowu: ...The key is that he just doesn't want his son to take on the challenge!

His son is only seven years old, is it really necessary to make it this challenging?!

Especially since his son himself didn't want to take on the challenge.

Therefore, Mu Shaowu could only politely decline again.

The moment Director Yan hung up the phone, the new director called.

As a result, Mu Shaowu and Zeng Chong have had no time for anything else these past two days, as they have been busy constantly rejecting offers from various directors.

"If all these directors came to you, that would be wonderful," Zeng Chong couldn't help but sigh.

Mu Shaowu also thought so.

“Just wait, once your ‘Summer’ is published, you’ll definitely get a lot of offers,” Zeng Chong assured him.

Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "I hope so."

"No need for hope, it's 100% certain!"

"Okay," Mu Shaowu said with a smile.

As November lingered and December turned and left, January quietly arrived before everyone's eyes.

The roadshow for "Summer" is scheduled for this month.

Of course, Ye Qingxi was not among the actors present at the roadshow.

"Why?" Ye Qingxi asked Mu Shaowu.

"Of course, you still have to go to school and take final exams." Mu Shaowu looked at him.

"But I've already finished the exams for the next few sessions, so why wasn't my name called?"

Mu Shaowu: ...Then why else could it be?

Of course, it's because he can't bear to see his son work so hard!

Roadshows are no fun at all. Sometimes you have to go to two cities in three days, and sometimes you have to go to two cities in one day. Most of the time you have to spend on airplanes and in cars.

He's the lead actor, an adult, so it's normal for him to work hard.

But Ye Qingxi was still young, and Mu Shaowu couldn't bear to part with her.

Feng Que clearly took this into account, so he wasn't included when the roadshow was initially arranged.

"This is an adult's job, it has nothing to do with you."

Ye Qingxi: ...Do you really think I'm a seven-year-old?

The roadshow is clearly related to every actor, okay?!

"But I want to go." Ye Qingxi looked at him. "Dad, you played the father, so you can go. I played the child, so why can't I go?"

Mu Shaowu had a headache. "It will be very tiring. We'll have to travel by car and plane constantly. It'll be exhausting."

"I'm not afraid," Ye Qingxi said. "I don't mind being tired."

"But Dad doesn't want you to work so hard."

“But I want to go with my dad.” Ye Qingxi looked at him sincerely. “I’ve never done a roadshow with my dad before.”

Mu Shaowu chuckled, "What's so special about doing this together?"

"Together, together, together," Ye Qingxi said, pulling his hand and coaxing him.

Seeing his determination to go, Mu Shaowu was somewhat at a loss.

"Alright then," he said helplessly, "but you must tell me if you feel tired."

Ye Qingxi nodded, "Mhm."

Mu Shaowu patted the back of his head, feeling that he was becoming more and more clingy.

What a clingy little thing!
