Chapter 18
Zhao Wenhan has been spoiled since he was a child. Someone always gives him what he wants. The first time he stumbled in his life was when he met Xia Yan.
The feeling of being unable to get the love he wants can drive a person crazy.
Especially... he had gotten it briefly.
Looking back now, the few minutes in the bar seemed like a beautiful dream that was gone in a flash.
When he arrived at the "Love Island", although he was nervous and restless, his heart was full of despicable expectations, trying to replace Tu Xi's position.
But in the blink of an eye, he had been here for two days.
Xia Yan was still owned by Tu Xi, and his brother suddenly sent a message saying that he had an urgent matter and needed to leave for a few days, asking him not to act rashly.
Zhao Wenhan is not a rude and willful person. He knows how busy his brother is at work.
Besides, it is precisely because of his brother's busy work that the profits of Zhao's company are rising steadily. As one of the major shareholders, his assets are also rising. It's just
... it's just that he clearly said he would help him, but now he is leaving and not allowing him to move...
Zhao Wenhan bit his lip, feeling a little dissatisfied with his brother.
He rubbed his eyes, and his eyelashes were a little wet. He felt more and more uncomfortable the more he looked, but he couldn't help but keep his eyes on the intimate and sweet two.
... ...
...
Xia Yan was wearing a round-necked top today. The clothes were slightly loose, and his fingers could easily reach in. Feeling the man's movements going down, he finally couldn't help it and grabbed the other's hand.
"I'm wearing clothes, so my bottom can't be exposed to the sun."
He said this as calmly as possible, not daring to show his fear in front of the camera, but in fact, he was already panicking in his heart. If Tu Xi pushed too far...
Xia Yan couldn't guarantee what he would do.
After all... it was very strange to have someone put their hands into my clothes in front of the camera, even though it was just applying sunscreen! No no no! As long as it was sunscreen applied on the front, it would be very strange.
There was a sense of shame of doing DO in broad daylight.
"Sorry, I accidentally indulged in it." Tu Xi smiled innocently, his eyes were extremely innocent, but his face was a little lazy after satisfaction.
When he withdrew his hand, his index finger gently rubbed the young man's Adam's apple, as if it was just an accidental touch, but the young man trembled visibly, and it was obvious that he was very sensitive.
Photographer: “?”
Focus, close-up, all for me!!!
Xia Yan: “…” Help! The child is going to shut himself up!!!
What is Tu Xi addicted to? The photographer was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, wishing he could make a big scene right away. However, Xia Yan’s lips were tightly closed, and he didn’t dare to ask more, for fear that Tu Xi would say two more embarrassing words.
Then he would definitely die on the spot!!!
Their voices were neither loud nor soft, and Zhao Wenhan and Wei Junhao, who were a little far away, could only hear a few vague words.
The eyes behind Wei Junhao’s sunglasses had opened at some point, and were quietly staring at the two people beside him.
He stared at the young man's red ears for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "Ha!"
He blushed and his heart beat fast after being teased, and he still had the nerve to say that he was a top?
He was obviously being taken advantage of.
The funniest thing is... I believed his lies.
Wei Junhao gritted his teeth fiercely, sat up abruptly from the recliner, stretched out his long arms, and packed up his things with a bang. I don't know if he had Parkinson's disease today, and his hands kept shaking and dropping things.
The huge noise destroyed the tranquility of the beach.
The charming and ambiguous atmosphere was swept away, making people feel that they were in a decoration team.
The movie emperor and his wife who came back from swimming: "..." What happened? He ate explosives.

That night, Xia Yan had strange dreams all night and was listless all morning. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he was suddenly called by the director.
"Xia Yan, wait a minute."
"?"
"Just now your agent called me and asked for a day off for you." The director continued, "I agreed. You can pack up and go back to the capital later."
What could Wang Dazhuang have to do?
Xia Yan was confused. He could just be lazy for a day without facing the camera or acting. Who could resist the temptation of "not going to work"?
The young man nodded: "Okay, thank you, director."
"No problem. After all, you have important business resources to discuss. I can't cut off your financial resources." The director joked humorously.
"?"
"Calm down a bit and pay more attention to Tu Xi. The wind direction on the Internet can easily change." As a person who has experienced this, the director advised earnestly: "In front of the camera, you should be more restrained... Don't ruin your future."
The director has been in the circle for many years and has always been kind to others.
Xia Yan's appearance and temperament, even if his acting skills are poor, are a wonderful embellishment as a vase in the play. It is a pity to retire from the circle.
No! This face cannot be seen only by them.
It must be shared with all netizens.
Recently, it seems that a new camera has been released, claiming that it can restore the appearance of humans 100%, without beauty, filters, or distortion... He has to make one.
Wait until the last day of live broadcast, it will definitely be a hit!!!
The director's eyes were burning with fire, full of ambition, and he ran to the side to find connections and find ways to get a new machine, completely forgetting Xia Yan.
Xia Yan: "..." What kind of resources are these!
Giving resources to someone who is about to retire? What's wrong with people? Especially endorsements. If the endorsement fails, he needs to pay a penalty of three times the endorsement fee.
His reputation is so bad? Which idiot is crazy?
Xia Yan took out his mobile phone and clicked on the agent he blocked.
In just five days, Wang Dazhuang sent him more than 300 messages. The latest message was a screenshot of a plane ticket purchase and two small packages.
Wang Dazhuang: [The plane ticket has been bought. If you don't come back tomorrow morning, I will hang myself at your door. ]
[Also, I took the two couriers left at your doorstep. Is there something wrong with your phone? Why buy a new one?]
Wait! Express!!!
The young man opened the shopping app at lightning speed, and then found out in despair... When he bought the item, he filled in the default address.
His apartment in the capital.
Generally speaking, a normal courier will deliver the item to the destination in three days.
Now there are only two days left, and the day after tomorrow is the last day of the variety show. He knocked on the store privately with a glimmer of hope: [Hello, dear, if I buy a mobile phone, how many days will it take to deliver it to this address at the fastest.] [
Hello, dear, it takes six days.]
[???] Xia Yan blinked to make sure he was not mistaken, [Why does it take so long? I can pay more and send it as an expedited item. 】
【It will take six days to send it as an expedited item, dear. The address of Love Island is relatively remote, so the express delivery is relatively slow. I hope you can understand. 】
【Okay, I got it. 】
【Yes, if you have any questions, you can ask me again. 】
The next second, the manual customer service was disconnected, and the system's automatic scoring popped up.
Xia Yan silently gave it a full score.
We are both social animals and workers, so don't make things difficult for each other.
The problem of mobile phones is easy to solve. There are stores selling mobile phones in "Love Island". The trouble is the mobile phone number. Generally, you need to bring your ID card to register, and you also need to take a photo for facial recognition.
It seems to be very troublesome if you are recognized by someone.
Apply for a mobile phone number online. As long as you fill in the ID, you can receive a mobile phone card.
"Alas!" The young man sighed quietly. It seemed that he had no choice but to return to the capital. As for the endorsement... if it really didn't work out, he could just sell the house and make the money.
The flight ticket was at 4:30 pm, and the flight took three and a half hours. It was already eight o'clock when he landed.
Wang Dazhuang drove to pick him up.
"Xia Yan!!!"
"A gentleman uses words, not hands."
"What are you flirting with in the live broadcast room? Are you afraid that you don't have enough black fans? If you like Tu Xi, then like her well. If you don't, then break up... Ugh! That's not right! You can't break up now, otherwise your reputation will be even worse..."
Wang Dazhuang rambled on and on, looking furious, but his hands were steady as he drove.
Xia Yan listened with 'hmmmm and ohhh'.
After a while, Wang Dazhuang felt that he had almost vented his anger, so he asked, "What are the business resources you are talking about?"
"This!" Wang Dazhuang suddenly became excited, "You are lucky!!!"
Xia Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The manager of Beaufort took the initiative to call me and asked you to go over to discuss in detail. He wanted to let you wear the main clothing of the new season and let you be the spokesperson for this series."
Beaufort is an old company that includes a variety of products such as clothes, jewelry, bags, and cosmetics, focusing on the high-end market.
Even first-line celebrities are rushing to promote Beaufort for free, hoping that the official will see their abilities and become spokespersons.
Such a big brand? Why would they take a fancy to me?
Xia Yan asked hesitantly.
"Hehehe!" Wang Dazhuang grinned foolishly, "You got this by your own ability. Do you remember the little girl you saved on the first day of the show?"
"Yeah."
"The little girl's father is a major shareholder of Beaufort, and her mother is the manager of the planning department. They have only one daughter, so precious."
"..."
"The little girl has always remembered you. She pointed out her savior from the video at a glance. Her parents know how to repay the favor, so they come to give you resources."
Xia Yan's eyes went dark: "..." I really know how to thank you!
He silently wiped the blood from his heart and smiled reluctantly: "You know my reputation. It's not good for them to abuse their power for personal gain."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Dazhuang glared at him unhappily, "My mother said that she watched all your live broadcasts and felt that you fit the theme of the new season, so she chose you."
"Of course, the specific situation can only be confirmed when we meet tomorrow."
"Give me a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, I want to see you in your best condition!!!" Wang Dazhuang said loudly: "So, I will be guarding your living room tonight, don't think about going out to fish in troubled waters."
Xia Yan: "..."
The car drove for more than 40 minutes and arrived at Xia Yan's apartment. He opened the door, silently picked up the express on the coffee table, and then silently returned to the room.
Think about it in a positive way, at least the "tools for committing crimes" for the day after tomorrow are in hand.
When I am ruined and disgraced, I will soon leave this world. Even if I use all my net worth to pay off my debts... it seems that it doesn't matter. At
worst, I can go begging under the overpass.
After the young man comforted himself, he couldn't wait to open the express delivery, insert the mobile phone card into the new phone, and wait for the small number to come on line.
However...
the mobile phone number needs to be activated in the business hall before it can be used.
Xia Yan: "???"
