The iron security door was slammed shut with a loud bang, attracting the attention of an old lady who had just come upstairs. She looked up while holding the tofu pudding she bought for her daughter.
"Shi Xi, why are you leaving home so early today?"
The person whose name was called turned around, revealing his beautiful face. The corners of his eyes drooped slightly, and he looked innocent. A small mole was found at the end of his eye. When his long, curled eyelashes were folded, the small mole was half-hidden.
The key turned around the tip of the slender index finger and was held in the palm of the hand.
He smiled at the auntie across from him, a dimple on his left cheek, curved eyebrows, and his hair swept across his cheek: "Auntie Fen. It's a busy weekend today, and my boss asked me to go early."
The tube-shaped building was covered with small advertisements for sewer unblocking. From here, one could hear a young couple quarreling downstairs. Luo Shixi stood in the narrow corridor, and even though he was wearing the simplest shirt and jeans, he still looked out of place here.
Seeing him smile, Auntie Fen's mood inexplicably improved, and she also smiled: "Come back early at noon, Auntie Fen will make pickled fish for you today."
"No need, auntie. The boss said lunch is provided. I'm going to be late, so I'm leaving first." Luo Shixi waved his hand and went downstairs in two steps.
"Then remember to eat more meat and vegetables, you are still growing!" Aunt Fen shouted to the boy who was walking away.
Luo Shixi's answer came after a while: "Remember Aunt Fen!"
When he went downstairs, he accidentally kicked the garbage thrown at the door on the first floor and heard a "ding" sound of metal collision. Luo Shixi looked down and found that Uncle Li's suona was thrown out by his wife again.
What is the first time this month?
Luo Shixi thought about it, jumped down the last few steps, rushed over, got on the electric scooter, and rode away with a beeping sound.
When they arrived at the milk tea shop, the boss was loading the milk tea for his colleague, another milk tea delivery man. When he saw Luo Shixi coming over, he quickly greeted him: "Shixi, you came just in time. We have a lot of orders today."
Luo Shixi breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at his boss, who was grinning so hard that his teeth were showing. He was three minutes late today, and normally his boss would be furious, and he would be scolded.
Fortunately, the order saved his life, Luo Shixi thought, and quickly and swiftly stuffed the milk tea and desserts into the box at the back of the electric scooter.
Watching the boss go back, Luo Shixi whispered to his colleague Brother Li: "Fortunately, there are a lot of orders today, otherwise I would be scolded to death."
Brother Li snorted and laughed, as if he had seen through the boss's face: "Since you became famous, the store's business has improved a lot. How could the boss be disrespectful to the cash cow? He has to pay tribute to you quickly."
Seeing this, Luo Shixi smiled and told Brother Li to stop teasing him.
Becoming popular online was a very sudden thing. He had just found this summer job not long ago. A few days ago, he went to deliver an order. When the customer opened the door, he found that the delivery boy had changed. He was surprised for a moment and then took the milk tea.
Coincidentally, the customer was a food anchor who was a little famous on the Internet and was live streaming at the time. The camera facing the door recorded Luo Shixi's appearance, which aroused the curiosity of netizens. It was widely circulated through short video platforms for a while, and he was called the most handsome delivery boy. He brought up the business of the store, and some people even came to see him specifically.
However, as a delivery man, Luo Shixi would not stay in the store for long, so those people returned disappointed. Not being able to see him made them cherish the few videos of Luo Shixi showing his face online, and each short video had tens of thousands of likes.
After everything was packed, the two of them set off on their electric scooters.
The bulk of the orders today are from Orange TV, and you can tell which group is treating us again.
Luo Shixi was originally wondering why someone would place an order for a small milk tea shop, but when he saw the person coming down, he understood that they were here to take care of his business.
"Sister Li!"
The headquarters of Guochengtai is located in the CBD, the most luxurious area in the city. Luo Shixi stood downstairs of the company where people were coming and going, waving to his old acquaintances, his smile was particularly dazzling in the sun.
Sister Li has big wavy hair, a typical urban white-collar outfit: "You came quite quickly, there are a lot of things, do you mind carrying them up with me?"
"Of course I don't mind. I also want to thank Sister Li for taking care of our business." Luo Shixi quickly got out of the car and followed Sister Li into the building.
His salary was paid daily, according to the number of orders, three yuan per order, and he earned more than a hundred yuan per trip. Thinking of the money that was about to arrive, Luo Shixi narrowed his eyes happily.
If there is any money left after paying the tuition, he will invest it in a fund and watch the money make money.
His appearance was so eye-catching that people on the street kept asking Sister Li if he was her brother.
"Sister Li, it would be great if you could recruit your brother to be a star."
"That's right, with this look and this figure, it would be a waste if she didn't enter the entertainment industry."
Sister Li glanced at Luo Shixi, who smiled back at her foolishly: "Don't think too much, she still has to go to school."
When we got there, Sister Li put the milk tea on the table: "Director, I ordered the milk tea."
The atmosphere in the room was heavy. The director looked up from his computer and said, "Just leave it there. Who wants to drink it? Hurry and get it."
Someone put down his pen and rubbed his forehead: "I'm not in the mood to drink, Director. We are suppressed in everything and we can't even find enough people."
"Do you think White Bear Terrace did this on purpose? He is just setting up a stage to contradict us."
"Needless to say, this must be intentional. We have a talent show and they also have one, and they are trying to steal my girl! This is too much!"
Complaints were heard one after another, and the whole room was noisy.
Luo Shixi hesitated at the door for a long time. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly slipped in, put down his milk tea and wanted to run away.
So many people!
Just when he was about to step out of the door, the director's voice strangled him like doom: "Hey, Xiao Li, is this your brother?"
In a flash, everyone's eyes turned to Luo Shixi.
Dozens of eyes were staring at him, making him sweat coldly. Luo Shixi pulled his foot back stiffly, turned around like a robot that had just been oiled, and showed an eight-tooth professional fake smile.
Unexpectedly, when everyone saw his smile, their eyes became brighter. If we had to describe it, it was like replacing a 40w energy-saving lamp with a 500w searchlight.
Can't find enough candidates for the draft? Here's a ready-made one!
Still high quality!
"Good, not bad! The boy looks really photogenic when he smiles." The director turned to Sister Li and asked, "Does your brother want to enter the entertainment industry and become a star?"
Sister Li quickly waved her hands: "Director, this is not my brother, he is a delivery man from the milk tea shop."
Facing everyone's attentive gazes, Luo Shixi put on a shy smile and politely refused: "Sorry, I don't want to be a star, I still have to go to school." But in his heart he was complaining wildly, how short of people must they be to grab anyone they see to serve as a soldier.
The first person who complained loudly refused to give up: "Are you really not going to reconsider this? After you become a star, you can go to school and make a lot of money."
Sister Li frowned when she heard his seductive tone.
What does Sun Shilong mean? Is he trying to trick a kid who has no social experience?
Luo Shixi was about to shake his head when someone from the production team next door happened to come to discuss the issue of camera equipment with them. A lot of people came in and the scene became chaotic for a while, so he took advantage of the chaos to leave quickly.
Don’t think you can fool him just because he has little social experience. That person must be trying to get something for nothing!
He'd better send milk tea.
The production team was so busy that they could not stop. There was nothing they could do. The show was about to start, but they were poached. Naturally, there were loopholes everywhere. They wanted to split themselves in half. They were so busy that no one drank the milk tea on the table even though it had gone cold.
By the time I finished all the stressful things, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The director took a sip of cold tea to moisten his dry throat. "Alright, we've been working overtime for a week straight. Let's go home early today. There is always a way out. We have been preparing for this program for so long. Which part was not carefully planned? We can't lose confidence because of such a small matter."
He boosted everyone's morale and asked the employees to leave first.
The director looked at Sister Li's back, thought about it, and finally called her over and asked her for the phone number of the delivery man who would deliver the milk tea today.
"Director, he's a college student who has never learned singing or dancing, nor has he received formal training. He's not suitable."
The director screwed the lid on the teacup and said, "Let's talk about it later."
He naturally knew Sister Li's concerns, but now that more than 20 people have been poached, there are suddenly so many vacancies, how to fill them is really a big problem. Seeing that the show is about to start, those trainee companies are so difficult to deal with, and they will definitely take advantage of the situation at this time. It will take a lot of time just to negotiate the contract.
Finding amateurs is the simplest and most effective method.
The director planned to ask Luo Shixi again tomorrow, but he didn't expect that he would run into him on his way home before tomorrow.
Luo Shixi had been busy all day and had not eaten. He parked his electric scooter on the side of the road and sat on a park bench to eat his box lunch.
He naturally didn't go to Aunt Fen's house to eat pickled fish at noon. Aunt Fen was a nice person, but he couldn't always go to her house for dinner, so he used the excuse that his boss provided meals.
A pair of shoes stands in front of me.
Luo Shixi, holding a meal in his mouth and looking up with puffy cheeks, saw the director he had met this morning.
"Doesn't your boss provide meals? Why are you eating here at this time?" The director frowned when he saw the dishes in Luo Shixi's lunch box.
A steamed bun, a portion of bean sprouts, and a portion of stir-fried cucumber.
That’s all.
There wasn't even a drop of oil or water, let alone enough to feed the growing Luo Shixi.
Luo Shixi swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head, "Don't worry about the food, I'll buy it myself."
If he hadn't eaten all morning and was counting on today's meal, he wouldn't have bought two dishes. Normally, he could get by with just one dish.
The director sat down next to him: "Are you short of money?"
"It's okay." Luo Shixi moved to the other side, keeping a distance from him, and looked at the director with a vigilant look.
The director saw his actions and smiled: "You also heard what happened today. I do want to invite you to be a trainee on our show."
"But I can't dance. I've never been exposed to it." Luo Shixi was choked by the bean sprouts and took several gulps of water.
"It's okay. We have professional instructors to guide the contestants. You don't need to be a good dancer—" The director looked at Luo Shixi, who was picking bean sprouts slowly and with a look of disgust, and felt that his face alone was pleasing to the eye in front of the camera. "The most important thing is that I will pay you a salary, and it's not low."
The word "salary" was like a radar, instantly igniting Luo Shixi's passion. He put down his lunch box, sat up straight, and looked at the director with sparkling eyes.
The director was stunned by his reaction, and then he heard the other party ask him: "The salary is not low, how much is it?"
The director tentatively said a number: "Fifteen thousand? You stay in there for two periods, just like a summer job. You don't have to do anything, just show your face. By the way, we provide food and accommodation and..."
Before he could finish his words, Luo Shixi grabbed both of his hands.
Luo Shixi's eyes were filled with tears and his voice was choked with sobs: "Yes, Director, I have had a dream of becoming a star since I was a child. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard!"
The director was just about to say that there was no need to work hard when he heard Luo Shixi quickly reciting a string of numbers.
Seeing the director looking at him in confusion, Luo Shixi pursed her lips, revealing a dimple, with a shy expression and a straightforward tone: "This is my bank card number, just transfer 15,000 to it."
Getting paid for nothing, is there such a good thing? Last time on the show, he delivered 5,000 orders of milk tea!
Workers, workers' soul, workers love to earn part-time money! He took this order!
Director: ???
Was he cheated?
But no matter what, Luo Shixi appeared at the talent show a month later and started his part-time career. In the blurry talent show Reuters photos posted by a big Weibo influencer, Luo Shixi appeared, which aroused the curiosity of many netizens.
Who is this guy? I haven't seen him before, but he seems pretty handsome.
Netizens who often watch short videos and have watched Luo Shixi's related videos over and over again were shocked.
Isn't this the delivery guy they picked? !
He actually went to participate in a talent show!
