Chapter 13 Chapter 13 "The rich young master plays for fun and pays real...
Ever since he last visited the crew, Ming Le hasn't chatted with Lou Ye recently because their school is about to have midterm exams.
Although his family had no expectations for his academic performance, Mingle was not that bad either.
In order to prevent Ming Che from finding a chance to laugh at him, Ming Le never played around when he should be studying, and was determined not to be a good-for-nothing who only knew how to spend money.
"Okay, please drop me off at the next intersection. We can't get any closer to the school." Mingle was wearing a blue and white school uniform and carrying a black schoolbag that was faded from washing.
"Okay, young master. I'll pick you up on time after class." The driver took something from the front seat and said, "Young master, this is the breakfast you brought for your classmates. Remember to take it with you."
Mingle reached out to take it. It was quite large and a bit cumbersome to hold.
He had to walk the remaining ten minutes to school. If he asked the driver to take him to the school gate, he would definitely be seen by people who knew him.
Forget it, proper exercise is also good for your health.
When they were almost at the school gate, Mingle quietly put the lunch box into his schoolbag. Their school did not allow outside food to be brought into the school.
I heard from Dazui that instant noodles, milk and bread are not allowed. I don’t know what kind of broken rule this is.
Seeing that the bell was about to ring in a few minutes, Mingle zipped up his schoolbag and ran back to the classroom.
He felt someone maliciously pull the strap of his schoolbag, and then there was a "click" sound as the schoolbag fell to the ground.
Mingle was stunned for a moment.
Gou Hao turned around with a roguish smile on his face, full of malice. Then, ignoring Ming Le's shock, he turned around and ran away.
Always come to provoke him!
Mingle pursed his lips and silently raised his middle finger at the man's running back.
He picked up his schoolbag and entered the classroom on time. It was morning self-study time.
Gao Pengxuan and his classmates sat in their seats crying for food. Mingle took a breath and opened his schoolbag.
Fortunately, the housekeeper packed the food box intact and the breakfast inside did not spill out.
"Lele, what did you bring? It smells so good."
When Mingle went out in the morning, he asked the housekeeper to pack the food. The food boxes were categorized but the capacity was quite large, so they should have everything.
"Shaomai, xiaolongbao, fried dumplings..." Gao Pengxuan took the vocabulary notebook off the table. "Such a rich variety, did you buy them at the breakfast shop?"
Mingle flipped open the paper he hadn't finished and said calmly, "My mother did it."
The classmates in the class usually get along well with Mingle. Some of them have already reached out to ask for food, and Mingle asked Gao Pengxuan to share the food with everyone.
"It's delicious! Auntie's cooking is amazing!" Gao Pengxuan stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth. "Why do the ingredients taste different from what I usually eat? What's this black, chopped thing? It's so fragrant, tender, and smooth."
Mingle thought about it and thought it should be chopped matsutake mushrooms. He had very limited knowledge about ingredients.
"Mushrooms, my mother bought them at the market yesterday."
Gao Pengxuan suddenly realized: "No wonder, it tastes similar to me too. But this smells so good. Which vegetable market did your mom buy it from? I'll ask her to buy some for me when I go back this weekend."
Mingle: “…” He couldn’t even stop eating.
"See, it's all your fault for talking too much. I got this problem wrong." Ming Le drew a red cross on the paper and tried to recalculate it with great effort.
"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you." Gao Pengxuan quickly picked up another steamed bun with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, continuing to concentrate on eating.
This group of people, in the time it took him to say a word, their food boxes were empty!
"Is Gou Hao sick? Why do I feel like he is staring at you?" Gao Pengxuan used a book to cover himself and nudged Ming Le with his arm.
Mingle finished the last question and put the pen cap back on. He got angry when he mentioned this person.
Because of what happened last time, this person hated him, but he was not wrong in the first place. It was Gou Hao who started the trouble first.
"He just deliberately knocked my schoolbag off the school gate. Luckily the lunch box was packed intact, otherwise you would have no food for this morning."
Gao Pengxuan pounded his fist on the table when he heard this: "This is too much!"
Ming Le quickly said a few words to comfort her. He was not afraid, but he just didn't want to cause trouble.
"It's okay. As long as he doesn't go too far, we don't have to look at him straight in the eye. It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain." Ming Le said softly. He felt a strong gaze staring at him but didn't look back.
…
As the seasons change, the weather gradually becomes cooler and the shooting environment is not as harsh as before.
Lou Ye just joined a new crew, it is a modern suspense drama, and the role he plays is a positive policeman.
"Brother Lou, when you were still filming just now, Brother Chen called and said he should come to the crew." Geng Zhao skillfully handed over a towel and a coat.
The last time Young Master Ming came, he said he would get them an RV, and the company really prepared one the next day. However, probably to avoid gossip, they kept it low-key, and it wasn't a luxurious one.
But this made their work on the set a lot more convenient. When Brother Lou was filming, he could rest on it whenever he had nothing to do. It was so comfortable. The assistants of other artists would envy him to death when they saw it.
Having been with Lou Ye for several months, Geng Zhao is no fool and understands why the company is willing to support Lou Ye.
This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, but he thinks the relationship between Master Ming and Brother Lou seems really pure, just like children playing house.
It was totally different from the kind of sponsorship he had imagined, like the younger brother admired the older brother so much that he paid for his support.
"Brother Chen, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lou Ye looked broad-shouldered and long-legged in his black police uniform, and he wore a pair of long leather boots with laces.
He wiped the sweat with a towel, and the loose hair on his forehead was lifted up by sweat, revealing his full forehead and handsome eyebrows.
Geng Zhao took the towel he had used and said, "Brother Chen didn't tell me the details."
Chen Si usually takes care of Lou Ye's work personally. As an assistant, he usually does most of the work to arrange Lou Ye's daily schedule and report the work progress to Brother Chen in a timely manner. He doesn't know other more private matters.
Lou Ye said calmly: "Okay."
He put his long legs on the black RV, and there was still time to rest before the next shooting.
The phone screen was black and it was unusually quiet. Lou Ye suspected that the network was not good because they were filming the real scene in a remote area.
"Double Kill." The game's notification sounded, and Lou Ye glanced at Geng Zhao, who was fighting hard with his phone in his hand.
Geng Zhao noticed it sensitively. What's wrong? Even during working hours, Brother Lou didn't say that playing games is not allowed.
Lou Ye: "Is your internet connection good?"
Geng Zhao was confused: "Huh? That's great, it's 5G."
He won the game without any effort, swiped his finger to exit the page, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Brother Lou?"
Lou Ye unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip: "Nothing."
Geng Zhao had followed Lou Ye for a few months and understood his boss's personality. He was very aloof. If there was nothing work-related, and Geng Zhao didn't take the initiative to speak, Lou Ye would remain silent for the entire day.
I guess I just keep things to myself no matter what happens in life.
Geng Zhao felt exhausted just thinking about it, and asked tentatively, "Brother Lou, do you want to know why there's been no news from Young Master Ming these past few days?"
He kept guessing, otherwise why would Lou Ye ask if the internet was good? Normally, apart from his family occasionally calling him, no one would contact him.
Judging from his appearance, people who don’t know him would probably think that Lou Ye has dated countless girlfriends in private. He also thought so before.
It was not until I got to know him that I realized he was a monk, truly pure-hearted and free from desires.
But it’s better this way. It’s troublesome for celebrities to fall in love, and it will affect their career if they are photographed by paparazzi.
After hearing what he said, Lou Ye said: "...I didn't ask." He asked why the young master was doing this, because he was bored.
Geng Zhao looked at Lou Ye several times, and felt that he was not sincere, so he spoke hesitantly:
"Master Ming said he has midterm exams these days and he needs to study hard, so he won't contact you for the time being."
"He also said that you would be very busy on the new crew, so he didn't bother you."
Lou Ye had a blank expression on his face: "Why are you saying this?"
Geng Zhao took a deep breath, his smile stiffening: "Brother Lou, guess."
Lou Ye's expression remained indifferent as he flipped through his phone: "Ming Le is so familiar with you, did he tell you about his exams?"
Geng Zhao was a little confused about his brother Lou's current awkward state?
It seems that he is unhappy that Young Master Ming shared something with him but not with him?
Oh my god, this must be his imagination.
"It's not that we are familiar with each other, but Young Master Ming is very enthusiastic." Geng Zhao explained.
Lou Ye swiped his finger across the WeChat address book. Yes, the young master seemed to be passionate about everything.
And not just to him.
Lou Ye pursed his lips, folded his hands, closed his thin eyelids, and took a nap on the sofa.
The air was inexplicably cold, and Geng Zhao shrank his shoulders and quietly left the RV. If he stayed any longer, he would turn into an ice sculpture.
Geng Zhao had been out for only twenty minutes, and when he returned to the RV, Chen Si had also arrived.
He came to H City on a business trip and happened to visit the crew on the way.
"Brother Chen." Lou Ye greeted.
Chen Si put the black briefcase he was carrying aside. He still had the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, looking gentle and elegant.
"I'm sorry to bother you with your rest. I just happened to be passing by and came to see you."
"No need to bother, I'm well rested."
Chen Si pushed his glasses up: "Are you used to being on the set?"
He originally wanted to let Lou Ye take a few days off before joining the group, but he didn't expect that this young man was even more hardworking than him and made the transition seamlessly.
He really admired the fact that she didn't show any signs of fatigue during such high-intensity work.
Lou Ye sat on the sofa, his long legs slightly apart, his posture casual: "I'm quite used to it."
He didn't have the opportunity to film before, but now he has it, and he doesn't want to waste any time.
Chen Si opened the briefcase he brought and took out two contracts: "A company is interested in you and wants you to be their spokesperson. I have two contracts here. Take a look."
"It's not a high-end product, but it's niche and has a good reputation, so I can accept it."
Lou Ye took it and looked at it. It was an old domestic skin care brand and a beverage brand.
Chen Si is a reliable person and he always reminds his artists to be careful about their reputation and not to accept endorsements and scripts just for quick money. Therefore, the contracts he gives to Lou Yeyan are all carefully screened.
Lou Ye trusted him, but still asked the endorsement company to send a sample package. As a spokesperson, he had to try it out himself and make sure there were no problems before agreeing to take the job.
"Of course. I'll just ask the other company to send it to me when the time comes." Chen Si stood up after saying what he needed to say. He had to catch a flight back to Beijing.
Lou Ye stood up and prepared to send him out. Coincidentally, his cell phone vibrated a few times. Lou Ye subconsciously unlocked the screen and clicked on it.
Chen Si looked over and saw a green page with a cute cat head avatar.
Reading the records one by one, Chen Si frowned slightly and looked at Lou Ye deeply.
Lou Ye noticed it and turned off the phone screen.
Seeing that he looked fine, Chen Si, who valued his talent, reminded him in a somewhat cold tone: "Lou Ye, you are a smart person."
"I shouldn't be saying this, but I think the most important thing you should do right now is to manage the resources you have and focus on your career."
He didn't say it clearly. Ming Le, a rich young master, might be interested in him and willing to support him now, but who knows how long this interest will last. It would be better to make good use of the resources in front of him and make a name for himself, so that he won't lose out later.
Lou Ye naturally knew what he meant and explained, "Brother Chen, it's not what you think."
Even though Ming Le had chatted with him frequently before and he had replied, there was no doubt that he was a straight man and had no extra thoughts about Ming Le. At most, he treated him as an employer.
Chen Si raised his glasses, his eyes gleaming with brilliance beneath the gold-rimmed lenses. "I don't care what you think. I'm just reminding you from your agent's perspective that those wealthy young masters are just playing around. If you're sincere about it, you'd be a fool."
"The price is not something ordinary people like us can afford." He muttered, and seemed to have thought of something, and subconsciously closed his mouth.
Lou Ye felt that his agent was really overthinking it. As a straight man, what could he possibly think? "I understand, Brother Chen."
