Chapter 42 Xiaochi is so miserable
That night, Wen Chi used the excuse that he wanted to be alone and sent Xia Kai away early.
Seeing that he was exhausted and lonely, Xia Kai wanted to ask questions but the words got stuck in his throat.
All I could say was to have a good rest, and then I took a taxi home.
After a long day of hard work, Xia Kai, sitting in a taxi, finally had time to take out his phone to check the message.
He had two mobile phones, and the one he lent to Wen Chi temporarily was his personal phone. The address book only included Wen Chi, his parents, his girlfriend, and a few close relatives and friends.
The work phone in my hand at the moment, in addition to work-related contacts, is mainly used by colleagues, friends and relatives with whom I have general relationships.
Looking through the message list, there were many job offers for Wen Chi.
Ninety percent of them are of low value and are jobs that only 18th-tier idols would take. No matter how anxious Xia Kai is, he can't lower his own price at this juncture.
However, he felt that this was a sign that Wen Chi's career was improving, and his mood suddenly brightened.
Unfortunately, this good mood did not last long.
Turning to other information, Xia Kai's expression changed from relaxed to sneer.
Friend A: Wen Chi seems to have made a comeback lately. Does that count as helping him out? Don't forget each other when you become rich!
Friend B: Hey, didn't you know Wen Chi would become popular again? You're worthy of it! Next time, if you have any news, please tell the brothers so I can show off your big agent friend, haha!
Relative A: Xiaokai, do you have the autograph I gave you last time? If so, please bring it back to me. Everyone around me is talking about Wen Chi's show, and when I told them I knew his agent, they didn't believe me! Whether I can save face depends on you!
Relative B: Xiaokai, are you getting a promotion? If you're really going to be a big agent, don't forget your cousin Haohao. Bring him into the entertainment industry and find him a job or something! I heard there's a lot of money to be made in the entertainment industry. My cousin isn't looking for high-paying jobs; he'll just be looking for someone making 80,000 or 100,000 a month!
…
Xia Kai really admires the shamelessness of these people!
A few years ago, he graduated from a 985 university with a master's degree. Dreaming of becoming a gold medal agent, he decided to enter the industry and start as an assistant.
Many relatives and friends around him did not understand him and believed that he had fallen into depravity. They could not help but ridicule and criticize him behind his back. He also became a negative example overnight from being a top student and a child of other people's families.
Later, he went to work with Wen Chi. When these so-called relatives and friends found out, they immediately changed their attitude and said that he was really lucky to be able to work with such a top star.
They inquired about his salary and benefits openly and secretly, used their connections to get his autograph and take photos with him, and were even more polite and flattering when they met him during the holidays, as if he were some successful big shot!
Later, Wen Chi was attacked by the entire network. These people changed their attitude again. They pretended to care but were actually just watching the fun and criticizing Wen Chi.
They self-righteously lectured him, telling him to see the situation clearly and leave quickly, not to hang himself on a crooked tree, their tone inevitably filled with gloating...
Now.
Their warmth and compliments began again.
Xia Kai once almost became arrogant and lost his composure because of their flattery.
Now that I have experienced the fickleness of the world, I have seen through it.
He sneered and turned off his phone.
Xia Kai didn’t reply to any of the messages!
Driver: “We’re here.”
Xia Kai thanked him, paid the money, and got off the car with his luggage.
His house is in an old residential area. Although it is very old, it has a good environment, convenient transportation, and is close to the school district. In Yanjing, where every inch of land is valuable, it is considered a "luxury house" worth tens of millions.
However, Xia Kai does not live alone. To be precise, this is his parents' house.
Xia Kai is a native of Yanjing. His parents have stable jobs in the system and are open-minded. He has had a good family atmosphere since he was a child. Even though he is nearly 30 years old this year, he has not moved out of his home.
After all, the nature of his job requires him to travel around all year round, so he doesn't have much time to stay in Yanjing. It would be better for him to spend more time with his parents when he has free time.
Before leaving the hotel, Xia Kai told his parents in advance.
As soon as he stepped into the house, his parents came to greet him and asked him about his well-being.
Speaking of recent developments, my parents are very proud of me!
Father patted Xia Kai on the shoulder:
"I knew your judgment wouldn't be wrong, Xiaokai! Your mother and I watched the live broadcast. Wen Chi is a really good guy, a down-to-earth and hardworking person, completely different from the rumors out there! You should work hard with him and become a top agent in the future!"
The mother was easygoing and gentle, and also praised Xia Kai:
"Mom is not only full of confidence in your future, but also proud of your precious character of never abandoning your friends in times of crisis! In today's society, this is very rare!"
The muscular man Xia Kai couldn't help feeling shy and grateful under the praise from his parents.
He was able to be "willful" at the time thanks to the support of his parents.
Even though he was not born into a wealthy family, Xia Kai still feels satisfied and happy because of having such parents.
...What about Wen Chi?
What would his family be like?
Xia Kai's thoughts couldn't help but drift away——
In the past two years, Wen Chi has kept family information strictly confidential.
But as someone who works nearby, Xia Kai can still receive some information.
For example, Wen Chi has a very bad relationship with his family!
Xia Kai felt that Wen Chi was a good child and would never be rebellious or go against his family.
Plus, he dropped out of school at the age of seventeen to participate in a talent show and make money, so his family conditions are probably not good...
Xia Kai's mind automatically sketched out the image of a greedy and shameless family lying on Wen Chi and sucking his blood!
He felt that with Wen Chi's personality, even if he was bullied, he would grit his teeth and swallow it with blood!
God have mercy on me, why is Xiaochi so miserable!
"Xiao Kai?"
His father's voice brought Xia Kai back to his senses.
He then suppressed the heartache and sorrow in his eyes and listened attentively:
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"It's your mother who's in trouble."
Xia Kai's gaze then turned to his mother.
Huh?
Why are you hesitating?
The mother coughed lightly and said with a hint of embarrassment:
"Xiao Kai, Mom knows you're not the type to use your power for personal gain. If this makes you feel embarrassed, you can refuse."
"What? So serious? Do you want Wen Chi's signature?"
Xia Kai said half-jokingly.
Mother shook her head, but her eyes were particularly bright:
"It's not Wen Chi, it's Sui Sui. Can you...can you take some photos of Sui Sui for Mom? Oh, of course. Mom still says the same thing. If it's too much trouble, forget it! Don't let it affect your work!"
Although she said it, her mother's face was clearly full of anticipation!
Xia Kai was shocked.
My mother would never ask for this!
Now you are making unprecedented demands every year?
My father also laughed beside me and said:
"Your mother and the aunt at work are going crazy seeing Sui Sui every day! They love him so much!"
Xia Kai was silent for a long time before he murmured:
"It's over."
"What's finished?"
Xia Kai said tremblingly:
"...Koike's top position is no longer secure!"
