Chapter 22: The Troublesome Social Network
Fang Xin, who was not very drunk, quickly left the scene on the pretext of feeling dizzy. He asked Xiao Huai to take him back.
The cold wind made him feel much more awake. Suddenly, his shoulders felt heavy and a coat was put on them.
He looked up and saw Lu Ziyan's concerned look, "Are you okay?"
She smiled nonchalantly to indicate that she was fine, then leaned on Lu Ziyan as if she was exhausted.
"Lend it to me for a bit."
His eyes were a little blurry, the taxi was late in arriving, and he could feel himself gradually losing consciousness.
Lu Ziyan reached out and grabbed him to prevent him from slipping.
"You're forcing yourself to drink even though you can't. You're just asking for trouble."
Fang Xin's eyes were dazed and her tone was a little vague, "Everyone has drunk it, how can I..."
"Director Lin likes you, how can he force you to drink if you don't want to? You are just a fool!"
Lu Ziyan's words were fierce. If he hadn't chased him out just now because he saw that his steps were unsteady, he would probably be lying on the street and being bullied by others.
Xiao Huai looked at Lu Ziyan gratefully, "Luckily, Mr. Lu came to help me, otherwise Brother Xin would never be able to go back to this state."
Lu Ziyan called for his own nanny car and pushed Fang Xin in first.
"You guys go back first. I have to go back and wait until the end. Otherwise, I will be disrespectful to Director Lin if I leave in the middle of the show."
Lu Ziyan waved his hand to signal them to go first. Fang Xin had already passed out in the car.
Xiao Huai nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ziyan watched the nanny car leave before entering the hotel. In the distance, a pair of gloomy eyes under a black umbrella stared at his departing back.
After a moment's silence, he turned and left.
Fang Xin finally opened her eyes when she felt a splitting headache. It was already early the next morning.
Sitting on the bed with messy hair, I picked up my phone and saw that it was already nine o'clock.
"What a sin! Drinking so much is really fatal..."
He muttered, got up and went to the bathroom, slumped over and not looking well.
After washing up, I received a call from Anmei.
"You don't have to film recently, so come back and spend time with your aunt, Xinxin."
Fang Xin thought about it and realized that there really wasn't anything going on recently. It was just that the contract was about to be terminated and there was no movement from the company at the moment.
I seldom go online, and the trailer was just released but there wasn't much of a stir. After all, it wasn't produced by any well-known group, so naturally there wasn't much attention.
So I simply packed my things and went to Xu's house.
On the way, he learned that it was Lu Ziyan who helped him return home last night, and he sent a message to thank him.
Xingxing: Thank you. If you hadn’t been there yesterday, I would have become a homeless person.
Deer: You really have to thank me. Luckily I was cautious and came out to take a look.
Xingxing: What gift do you want?
Deer: Send me your acting skills!
Xingxing: That won’t work. How can I give it to someone who is born with it?
Deer: ...Wow, you are so hurtful.
Star: Hahahahahaha [animated expression]
Lu Ziyan didn't reply to the message, perhaps he was busy. A few minutes later, the phone rang.
"Hey, why don't you reply to my message and call me?"
Lu Ziyan's voice sounded like it was coming from outside. "I thought you would pretend you didn't see it if I sent you a message, so I feel more at ease calling you."
"Since you want to thank me, then treat me to a meal!"
"Okay, then you choose what you want to eat, I'll follow your instructions."
Fang Xin was also very excited that someone wanted to go out with him. This was the first time someone asked him out here.
"Of course it's the store that's been super popular recently, the one called Sen Yan. Remember to take beautiful photos for me. I'll upload them to Weibo hehe."
"Of course I will take a picture for you. When are you free?"
Lu Ziyan was silent for a while, "Wait for me for a week, I will be free later."
After the two made an appointment, Fang Xin also arrived at Xu's house.
When An-Mei saw him, it was like seeing her own son. The two of them had endless things to talk about and they chatted until late at night before going to bed.
At night, Fang Xin was lying in bed and checking his phone. He thought about how he had only been filming movies recently and had only used his phone to send messages and make calls.
Now that he had some free time, he opened his Weibo and checked his number of followers.
"Oh my god, why did the original owner always post things related to Xu Shi'an?"
He was so scared that he almost threw his phone away. He looked around a few more times and found that the people following him were not his fans at all, but haters who cursed him.
"It's true that a tree without bark is doomed to die, and a shameless person is invincible. He pesters the president of the Xu Group without even looking at what he looks like, hahahahahaha."
I saw a selfie, and behind him was Xu Shi'an chatting with someone, and he was smiling happily.
The comments below are nasty.
"Oiran, I'll order you."
This one received the most replies, and it was also the most outrageous.
"This is the first time I've seen the term 'heavy makeup' on a man. I'm really stye-eyed."
"He couldn't possibly have done this eyeshadow color combination himself, it makes me laugh to death."
"Whose waiter is this who comes out to greet guests? Who would be in trouble if he doesn't take the guests away?"
"How can he be so ugly and shameless?"
"I'm almost out of appetite for dinner."
"If Xu Shi'an likes him, I will use the toilet as a restaurant in the future..."
"Even if Xu Shi'an likes dogs, it's impossible for him to like him, hahahahaha."
Fang Xin closed and opened his eyes again, repeatedly confirming whether this was his own Weibo post.
At this time, Director Lin sent a message to the group of "Thousands of Years", asking everyone to forward the broadcast time and trailer of the drama.
Everyone replied that they had received the message, except him who was hesitant to reply.
If this Weibo post were to be released, it would definitely bring a bloody storm to the drama.
So he hid all the things he had posted before, and only reposted the Weibo until his Weibo was clean.
The first thing to post is the show's broadcast time and the makeup looks of individual actors.
Almost all the protagonists received a lot of praise, including Lu Ziyan.
Only his haters said nasty things below.
"The Oiran is here too?!"
"The last time I watched his drama was last time, and I had to use eye drops for a month."
"Why would anyone want an Oiran to act when his acting is so bad? Director, are you blind?"
"Ahhh, how can my little deer be in the same play with the oiran! Last time I went to watch it just for my brother, and ended up being scared to death by the oiran."
"I give up. How can you have such good taste to invite an oiran?"
"She has the talent to act. She likes men, so can't she make the director like her?"
"What you said above is... really pleasing to the ear."
Fang Xin turned off her phone immediately. Since things had already come to this, why should she be afraid of anything else?
But it will eventually affect his mood a lot. He muted his phone, buried his head in the pillow, and planned to have a good rest for a few days. He would complain to Lu Ziyan when he saw him.
