Chapter 101
A perfect first step.
Bai Gaoxing looked at the only person he was following on his account, and after examining him for a while, he secretly glanced at the man next to him.
We met eyes!
Bai Gaoxing turned around in panic again, holding his cell phone in both hands and pretending to be busy.
After a while, he couldn't help but secretly tilt his head to take a look. This time, Li Pu was not looking at him, but facing straight ahead, as if in a daze.
Li Pu's cell phone was placed next to him, and the screen was still black, with no change due to the attention.
Come to think of it, the ding-dong sounds would be too distracting, and Li Pu is the type who would turn off message notifications.
Then let him follow him secretly~ Bai Gaoxing happily looked at Li Pu's Weibo account several times, and after following the only one for a minute, he searched for the second person to follow.
Agent Lei Li.
Send a private message: [Sister Li, I am Dabai^_^]
The name Dabai was not only his name when he was a parrot, he was often called that even when he was a human, so Bai Gaoxing was very familiar with calling himself that.
The other side replied almost immediately: [Dabai? ? You went home? ]
Bai Gaoxing: [Yes!]
In the office, Lei Li held her phone and marveled at how lively and cute Dabai was as an adult. The next second, she was troubled by Li Pu.
She typed: [I will send you and Li Pu a few resumes. You can discuss which one is suitable, or pick out the one you like and send it to me. The resume will serve as your biographical information in the future. You must choose carefully and remember it.]
The boy who grew from a parrot into a human had a blank past.
If I don't produce something worthy of recognition, I will not be able to convince the company or the fans at this position.
Packaging is what an entertainment company is best at.
Although I don’t know why Li Pu said that the boy can definitely take on this job...but for safety reasons, I still have to consider all aspects carefully.
Soon, Bai Gaoxing was followed back by Lei Li, who also sent him several accounts of frequently used chat software. →
Bai Gaoxing immediately downloaded the chat software and added Lei Li as a friend.
[You, Li Pu, have been added to the group by Lei Li.]
[Group owner] Lei Li: Here are some resume templates, @黎譜, @大白, you two can take a look.
Swish, swish, swish, five files popped up at once.
Bai Gaoxing clicked on one at random, and the densely packed small characters made him feel dizzy.
This is not a decision he can make alone.
Bai Gaoxing turned around with his phone in hand and looked at the man who seemed to be distracted. "Li Pu? Check the WeChat group."
Li Phou picked up his cell phone.
Seeing that Bai Gaoxing was already in the group, Li Pu looked at the boy in surprise, and then clicked on a file.
It contains an introduction to Dabai.
Peter Wang has already dealt with all the details of the boy's life. He is basically a person who grew up abroad and recently returned to China. This way the summary is better concealed, and there is more room for adjustment to fill in the gaps.
However, they still need to work out the details themselves.
For example, this resume that says "I have three years of experience in translation..." doesn't work at first glance.
Li Pu clearly remembered that the boy's age written on his household registration was only eighteen years old.
Too young.
Li Pu lowered his eyes slightly and continued to browse the resume. When his fingers were about to slide down, a warm body leaned forward and seemed to be about to fall.
"What do you think of this?" Bai Gaoxing held up his cell phone to show him, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Ten years of experience in written translation...
Li Piao did not read any further. The word "ten years" at the beginning was enough reason for him not to read on.
He turned his head, held the boy's still soft face with one hand, and asked calmly: "How old are you?"
"Eighteen..." Bai Gaoxing blinked.
It seems he was not mistaken.
Li Pu did not say anything, but just stared at the boy in front of him until he realized what he was saying. "Ahahaha... That's too exaggerated, isn't it?"
Bai Gaoxing rested his chin on Li Pu's palm. This posture was quite comfortable for him, so he raised his phone and continued to read, "Studying abroad? Studying abroad is always possible!"
As for the written translation, it’s actually not that exaggerated. It’s just the few years I spent abroad plus the few years I spent studying hard for exams as a student in China... ahem, it’s enough to just give you a vague idea.
"That's fine." Li Pu nodded.
Bai Gaoxing wrote this down, left the hand that was lending him leverage, and sat up straight. From the action just now, two red marks were left on both sides of his cheeks, like cat whiskers, but he was unaware of this and was still reading the rest of the text seriously.
Li Pho reluctantly suppressed the raised corners of his lips. He suddenly realized more clearly that young people have a body that leaves traces easily. He gently twisted his fingertips that still retained the boy's body temperature and continued to dive into the ocean of information.
In the end, after much deliberation, the two decided on the simplest and least likely to be mistaken background: one that matched the information provided by Peter Wang - an ordinary, well-behaved student who had just returned to China.
Because I happened to have lived in Country F for many years and my cousin knew Li Pu, I was brought in to provide language guidance.
Yes, Wang Peter also felt that he could no longer hide his childhood friend's identity and was always ready to dedicate himself.
Wang Peter, who had gained a lot of fame on foreign social media platforms for his photography, has also been recognized by his fans in China after returning to the country, and they happily interact with him on Weibo every day.
But so far, no one has linked him to Li Pho—except for the time he took a magazine photo for the parrot Dabai.
After sending the selected information to Lei Li, the two received an "OK" expression in the group, saying that she would just touch up the rest.
"Is this possible? Isn't it too simple?"
Bai Gaoxing was very interested in creating an identity for himself, and it felt like creating a character for a game. The person in the data was very similar to the real him, so he was not afraid of being criticized. However, many things were written in a rough way, and I felt that they could not withstand criticism.
to ponder.
"Don't worry." Li Pu said, "She will supplement the information more comprehensively."
After all, he is a professional. Bai Gaoxing was relieved, and then he heard Li Pu say: "Others, you can add more if you think of them."
That makes me feel more at ease.
Bai Gaoxing immediately turned around, huddled back on the sofa with his phone in his arms, and continued to surf the Internet happily.
“……”Is it really that fun?
Li Pu looked at the boy who was concentrating on his phone with a glow in his eyes, and suddenly felt left out.
After all, he had gotten used to Dabai's way of getting along with him, where he would take the initiative to rub against him, jump on him, and use his beak and claws to attract his attention.
After a long time, Li Phou also turned on his mobile phone.
He frowned, clicked on the Weibo post he rarely read, and began to refresh the homepage aimlessly.
Since he didn't like business in the past, he had always handed over his Weibo account to his agent to manage. He followed a lot of topics related to his peers and himself. Now, every time he refreshes the page, he can see a lot of new content.
Li Pu focused all his attention on the interface in front of him and decided to learn more about what the boy was interested in. The next second, he saw a familiar title.
[A collection of beautiful pictures of Mr. Li and Dabai! And more (hiss, you know...]
He has seen this.
Li Pho secretly recalled that when he was looking for evidence of Da Bai's online activities, he had seen titles like "Li Pho × Da Bai" several times.
But because he was too shocked by Dabai's actions at that time, and wanted to find more facts to confirm, he did not read it carefully.
Now it seems that maybe... I can find something that Dabai likes here?
Subconsciously thinking that this was still a fan-drawn picture of him and Dabai's daily interactions, Li Pu clicked on it decisively.
On this side, Bai Gaoxing was already showing off.
The avatar and nickname were both his regular ones. They looked very friendly and familiar, and the operation was very smooth. He quickly read through today's news, and then followed a lot of non-stop -
Food blogger.
He had never enjoyed such a treatment before, as he only knew how to eat in the cafeteria and order takeout! Why not seize the opportunity and order the dishes carefully!
Bai Gaoxing flipped through the mouth-watering pictures of delicious food and nodded secretly.
This one is good, ah this one is also good... and this one, this one! How can I tell Li Pu to politely express that I want to eat this...
Just when Bai Gaoxing was extremely confused, a shadow loomed over his head.
"What are you looking at?"
"Dinner tonight..." Bai Gaoxing turned around subconsciously and answered, and then heard a chuckle.
Li Pu lowered his head. From his perspective, he saw the young man holding a mobile phone filled with food pictures, looking up at him blankly.
He glanced at Bai Gaoxing's phone interface, his expression softened slightly, and then asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"How about braised pork?" Bai Gaoxing asked enthusiastically, "I'll help wash the vegetables!"
Li Pho responded quickly: "Okay."
Why do fans like that kind of...
In the kitchen, Li Pu, who was cutting meat, suddenly stopped.
Bai Gaoxing, who was washing vegetables, noticed it and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"
"…Nothing." Li Pu continued his actions, and said to the boy in a disguised manner: "Help me get the cooking wine."
Afterwards, even after preparing dinner, spending the night in leisure time, and lying down in bed before going to sleep, this thought kept lingering in Li Pu's mind.
It was not until the lights were turned off with a "click" and the boy's warm body lay against him that Li Pu truly felt the shock that those creations brought him.
Those were just fantasy pictures and words...but Baymax was really by his side.
Li Pu couldn't tell whether the quilt was too thick or his thoughts were too confused. He just felt that the temperature seemed a little too high. He moved slightly and lifted the quilt a little. The next second, the boy stretched out his hand and put it on his body.
The boy seemed to be a little dazed. "Go to bed early... I have to be busy tomorrow. Good night..."
Li Pu was silent for a long time. When he heard Bai Gaoxing's breathing gradually become heavier, he gently put the arm back into the quilt.
Good night.
…
The next day, it was time to go to the company to go through the formalities. Bai Gaoxing got up early and while brushing his teeth, he caught a glimpse of Li Pu who seemed a little listless.
"Didn't you sleep well?" he asked.
The man shook his head, washed his face, and when he looked up again, his sleepiness was gone.
Then I put on a hat and a mask and drove to the company.
Haven't been to Star Entertainment for a while.
Standing in front of the company's gate, Bai Gaoxing adjusted his hat carefully facing the glass door and tucked the uncooperative white hair inside.
"Is this okay?"
Bai Gaoxing smiled, and her eyelashes trembled slightly as if covered with snow.
Li Pho looked at him for a while and said, "It's OK."
Bai Gaoxing followed behind Li Pho, appearing calm while looking around with his peripheral vision, "I hope we won't meet anyone later..." Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if Li Pho was seen bringing people in?
"No." Li Pu was the first to step into the door. "At this time, there are usually not many people in the company."
Then I ran into someone head-on.
"Teacher Li?"
Several men and women with delicate faces, who were obviously celebrities, were all stunned when they saw Li Pu, and greeted him quickly, then all turned their eyes to the young man next to Li Pu.
...Not only because I intuitively feel that the other party has an outstanding appearance, but also because he was brought in by actor Lai, which is also worth gossiping about.
However, Li Pho had no intention of introducing himself to them. He just greeted them and then took the boy to the elevator.
After the two left, the lobby on the first floor became bustling with activity.
"Oh my god, who is that next to Teacher Li?"
"Could it be a newcomer? Hey, do you have any inside information?"
"I haven't heard of it..."
"He looks like a handsome young man. Hehe, if he's a new guy, I'd like to get his contact information~"
"That's too bad for the trainees. They have to face strong competitors again?"
While everyone was discussing, Bai Gaoxing had already followed Li Pu to the agent's office.
The woman at the desk was flipping through some papers. When she saw them coming, she quickly asked them to sit down and handed them the papers in her hand, "Take a look."
Bai Gaoxing took one and looked at it.
Li Pho also took one and asked before looking at it, "Where is the big tree?"
"He's on annual leave for two days." Lei Li's expression was unusually relieved. "He said he wanted to relax."
Thinking of how Mei Youshu seemed to have just realized today that Dabai had turned into an adult, she said that the young man had been unusually calm in the past few days, and it seemed that he reacted too slowly.
Li Pu probably thought of this possibility, was silent for a moment, and started looking at the information.
"If there is no problem, you can sign directly." Lei Li said, pointing to the place for signature.
Of course there was no problem, Bai Gaoxing signed quickly and from then on he became a formal employee hired by Star Entertainment.
“Then there’s the image issue.”
Lei Li asked Bai Gaoxing to take off his hat and mask, and then said to Li Pu, "It's too conspicuous."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see this, but there is nothing we can do about it.
The boy will still turn back into a parrot if he dyes his hair black...
"Then I am... a black parrot? A black and white gradient parrot?" Bai Gaoxing guessed.
"The risk is too great," Le Pho said, referring to whether birds can withstand the chemicals in hair dye.
"That's right." Lei Li gave up. "You guys can do whatever you want. No one has ever seen a human-shaped Baymax."
No, maybe many people have seen it.
He was referring to people who had seen the Baymax anthropomorphic drawings.
Li Phou said silently in his heart that although there was still some difference between the picture and the real person, the hair color alone was enough to make people think of Da Bai.
"Should I wear glasses again?"
The group of people he met at the company entrance gave him inspiration. Bai Gaoxing happened to see a pair of lens-free glasses frames on Lei Li's desk and picked them up and put them on.
Under the cover of the frame, those pure white eyelashes are no longer so obvious, but add a bit of gentle student spirit.
It just seems to be a little smaller... This work was created by
Lei Li looked at Bai Gaoxing for a moment and asked Li Pu: "What do you think?"
The man looked at the boy and nodded slowly, "Okay."
