Chapter 14 Chapter 014 "Nan Fei, you...
Two or three days of spending time together day and night was enough to observe a lot of things, and Yan Nanxing himself did not deliberately hide them. He was obviously much more meticulous when interacting with Tao Xi and Tang Jingyun. However, when he was in the same frame with the other two male guests from different groups, it could be said that there was no interaction or content worth editing.
No matter how slow Nan Fei is, he is still an artist and is sensitive to topics. He doesn't believe that Yan Nanxing, who is a "net celebrity", doesn't understand this.
Looking at Nan Fei's fixed eyes, Yan Nanxing sighed helplessly: "I'm going to be sad if you say that. Obviously, you've always been the one I care about the most."
The witty remarks that changed the subject and the evasive approach revealed the speaker's attitude. Just at this moment, the camera was raised again and Nan Fei had to stop questioning.
The guests gathered their energy and resumed filming. When they arrived at the destination, Yan Nanxing and Nan Fei got out of the car first.
Following the route, the two of them first went to the hardware store to buy daily tools. After checking the tools on the list again, even the quiet Nan Fei couldn't help but complain in front of the camera that the production team hadn't even prepared these. The cameraman nearby wanted to defend himself but didn't dare to speak, which made Yan Nanxing laugh: "I didn't realize you were so good at living."
Nan Fei held the phone, her fingers unconsciously clenched, not knowing what she was nervous about: "I've been used to doing housework since I was a child."
"From a young age? How young? As far as I know, most families wouldn't let their children do such detailed housework, right?"
As he spoke, Yan Nanxing took out a light bulb from his handbag and shook it. This was actually not on the list prepared in advance, because after entering the hardware store, Nan Fei suddenly mentioned that the light bulb in their room was a bit old and the brightness fluctuated, so it would be safer to replace it.
Yan Nanxing didn't notice this and was a little surprised at the time, not to mention that Nan Fei looked so skilled when choosing tools that it was obvious that he had some experience in this field.
Who wouldn’t praise this man as a must-have for a family?
I have to sigh that it was the right person to bring along.
Nan Fei didn't respond to this, as he thought it was perfectly normal. "Not everything started in elementary school, but I started living alone in high school, and I only gradually learned a lot of life skills after that."
Let's stop here, as anything I say next might sound like bragging in front of the camera. Nan Fei is known as a "top star" because he's been a constant topic of discussion since his debut. Anyone who pays any attention to entertainment news knows that his mother is Lou Jing, the internationally acclaimed Chinese film queen of twenty years ago. And among all the second-generation celebrities, Nan Fei is the only one who has truly made a name for himself.
However, Ms. Lou was completely Westernized in raising her children. She had let Nanfei live alone and go to school since he was sixteen years old. On the one hand, it was because the big star's work required him to travel all over the world and it was impossible for him to do both. On the other hand, Nanfei was indeed a very worry-free child.
It is quite surprising that such a pure oriental gentleman was raised in such a Westernized way.
Nan Fei had to explain himself. He didn't have the nerve to do that. Besides, wasn't Yan Nanxing his fan? Didn't he even know this?
However, Yan Nanxing, who had just said she "liked his songs" a few days ago, now stepped forward like a curious cat and said, "High school? That's only fifteen or sixteen years old. Did you start living alone at such a young age?"
Is sixteen considered young?
For Nan Fei, who has always been independent and opinionated, that is the age when he has just established his three views and needs to train himself. In his opinion, it is already the age to enter the adult world.
Nan Fei didn't know how to respond to Yan Nanxing's aggressive words, so he didn't say anything. He took a step back, widening the distance between them. "Time is tight, let's hurry to the pharmacy first."
Yan Nanxing chuckled and followed the pace: "That's right, let's go."
Zhaoling County has a pleasant climate, but the temperature fluctuates greatly throughout the day. Although there is plenty of sunshine during the day, the air at this time is a bit damp and cold, and it feels like a sudden change from warm to cold.
There are only a few large pharmacies in the county town. The program crew asked for filming opinions in advance and found a store that was not too far away. When they arrived, Nan Fei took out his mobile phone and checked the list again to prevent omissions. However, Yan Nanxing, after walking in, directly reported a series of medicine names.
The sudden announcement of the medicine names stunned everyone present. Apart from the commonly heard names such as ibuprofen and montmorillonite powder, the rest of the medicine names seemed a little familiar, but they couldn't tell what they were.
It was obvious that the clerk was also stunned. Generally, customers who come to buy medicine ask for cold medicine and fever-reducing medicine. It is rare to see someone who can accurately say the name of the medicine. It seems that he has met an expert.
After Yan Nanxing ordered two cold medicines, the clerk took one from the shelf. When he was about to get the other one, he was suddenly stopped: "You didn't take the medicine I ordered, did you?"
The clerk calmly explained with a smile, "I was just about to introduce this. This is a new cold medicine that's very effective in relieving symptoms..."
"No need, just take the one I mentioned." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yan Nanxing.
The clerk still did not give up: "Sir, you may not understand it very well. Let me recommend it to you."
Yan Nanxing's expression didn't change, but his voice obviously turned colder: "No need."
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Nan Fei looked at Yan Nanxing intently. He thought that the man who was always used to pretending to be good-tempered would also lose face in public.
But considering that they were filming, Yan Nanxing quickly calmed down and said, "No need for recommendations. We know what to buy. Just take what we give you."
After the warning, the clerk stopped doing unnecessary work, shut up and quietly took the medicine and paid.
"The total is three hundred and twenty-seven and eighty yuan. I've packed it for you." The clerk finished the count neatly. Yan Nanxing turned to look at Nan Fei, who was in charge of paying. The latter reacted and went up to scan the code. He found that the remaining balance was just a single digit.
...Someone calculated the cost when he ordered those medicines, right?
Spend just the right amount, take all the advantages you can, and leave no way out for yourself.
Seeing Nan Fei's dazed look, Yan Nanxing urged, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"It's okay." Nan Fei calmly paid the bill and came to terms with it. Yan Nanxing dared to do this simply because he took into consideration that the recording would be over tonight and that's why he spent the money without any worries.
The clerk was about to take out the convenient bag when he saw Yan Nanxing handing over a medicine box. He started to chat while packing, "So you're a doctor too. No wonder you know so much about medicine."
But Yan Nanxing didn't respond. He glanced at the medicine shelf behind the counter and suddenly asked, "Is your store selling Shengjia products?"
Nan Fei followed his gaze and indeed saw a row of shelves with the label "Shengjia Pharmaceuticals" on them. This was a blind spot. Apart from the expensive price tags on each row, there was nothing else to tell.
The clerk's eyes lit up, thinking there was another sales opportunity: "Yes, our company has a cooperation with Shengjia. There are discounts recently. Their common medicines are also very effective. Would you like to take a look?"
The clerk was about to start introducing the products when he reached out to pick one from the shelf. Coincidentally, it was the cold medicine that Yan Nanxing had just "returned".
So the atmosphere that had just become lively came to an abrupt end.
Anyone can see how awkward the situation is.
Yan Nanxing chuckled, packed up his medicine box, turned around and called Nan Fei: "Let's go."
The filming crew walked out in such a mighty procession.
After leaving the pharmacy, Nan Fei walked up to him and couldn't help asking, "Do you have any opinions about Sheng Jia?"
Yan Nanxing now had some meaning: "Why do you think so?"
Nan Fei didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He couldn't just say it was intuition, could he? Fortunately, Yan Nanxing didn't ask too much, so he told her what she wanted to know: "Shengjia, there have been too many new products released in the past two years. They're too utilitarian and expensive. The therapeutic effects of the traditional medicines are indeed okay, but why buy theirs if you have that much money? There are so many generic alternatives."
Yan Nanxing's comments were neither praise nor criticism, but his disdain was evident. Nan Fei asked, "So you know so well, do you work at Shengjia?"
"That's not something you can say. If I go to a company that's solely focused on marketing, I'll be completely screwed." Yan Nanxing put his hand to his lips and smiled slightly. "As for how I know, I guess based on experience. Most people in the same industry can tell."
"Anything more specific would be a trade secret. I can't tell you for free."
Who cares about so-called business secrets? Nan Fei was speechless: "I was thinking, that part just now was filmed. If it really goes as you said, for a company that loves hot topics so much, when the show starts in two weeks, aren't you afraid of causing trouble by your words?"
Although these words were unpleasant to hear, it was obvious that Nan Fei was reminding him with good intentions. Yan Nanxing exclaimed, "Ah," and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "You're right."
Yan Nanxing will listen to people now? It's really like the sun rising from the west. Watching Yan Nanxing finish his words and turn around to look for the assistant director of the filming, Nan Fei thought he would discuss with the director to delete the previous content. But when she followed him, she heard Yan Nanxing's last sentence: "I've given you the contact information. Be sure to remember to ask Shengjia for advertising fees."
Assistant Director: “…Is that right?”
Nan Fei: ...I’m too lazy to criticize.
——
After buying the necessary items, the two went to the agreed place to wait for the main group. The car arrived on time. As soon as they saw everyone's happy faces, they knew that they had returned with a lot of things today. After some communication, they found out that they had also bought a lot of extra things.
"Hehe, the production team didn't expect that we'd have a brilliant math major here," Tang Jingyun explained proudly to Yan Nanxing and the others. "Xiao Shen is like a walking human calculator. He saves time and thinks quickly. He saved a ton of money as soon as he came up with the shopping plan! And then we bought a bunch of snacks!"
Shen Yuzhe felt embarrassed by the praise and rubbed the tip of his nose with his hand: "I'm glad I can help, Sister Tang, please don't say anymore..."
"Oh, you're obviously amazing, why are you blushing and not allowed to speak?" Tao Xi smiled and turned to look at the men, "But Teacher Cen is also very thoughtful. When we went to the supermarket, we didn't even think of buying whole grains. It was he who suggested buying some dry goods, which would last longer. If the production team doesn't give us food next week, we'll be saved."
After saying that, several people turned to the camera crew in front of them at the same time. The director was sitting next to them and felt that the hesitant gazes of these people were scolding him.
Director: "...Thank you all for your hard work tonight. After the shopping, please hand in the remaining activity funds."
"Oh my god, how insidious! How can the funds be recovered?" The happy scene just now suddenly turned into a scene of repeated anger. Among them, Tao Xi was the first to express his protest, but the director pretended not to hear it.
Tang Jingyun patted Tao Xi on the shoulder and showed her the bill in her hand. Then they both suddenly looked at the director with strange smiles.
"Director Xu, we've just run out of funds. Do we still need to hand it over?"
The director didn't believe it, so he took the ticket and checked it, and it turned out to be true.
The three groups had a total of fifteen hundred dollars, and Yan Nanxing and his team took six hundred. At the supermarket, they should have paid in both small and large amounts, but Tang Jingyun, in order to make up the whole amount, insisted on asking for new material packaging bags that cost money.
The "hero" Yan Nanxing left after the filming, hiding his achievements and fame, and sat in the corner without saying a word. But as long as their mobile phones were taken away after the filming, they would find that Yan Nanxing had just sent a message to Tang Jingyun half an hour ago: Try to spend all the money, you probably won't need it next week.
The "evil plan" failed. Director Xu turned to Yan Nanxing and looked at the smiling face, and he knew that this would be the same result.
Yan Nanxing finally realized: "Oh, our group does have some left. Director Xu, do you want to recycle it?"
Director Xu felt a little hope again: "How much is left?"
Yan Nanxing: "Five dollars and thirty-two cents."
Director Xu: ...It’s better not to give it.
Everyone in the car burst into laughter. After this little episode, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when everyone returned to the garden. The guests were exhausted after a busy day. After Tang Jingyun distributed everyone's personal belongings, she stored the remaining "trophies" in the public kitchen.
Director Xu then said, "This episode's recording is over. See you next week."
After the lively shooting ended, everyone went back to wash up and rest. Except for Cen Jiashu who had to leave for work that night, everyone else was planning to leave tomorrow.
Before going to bed, the assistant director suddenly came upstairs and asked, "Nanxing, are you asleep?"
"Not yet." Yan Nanxing was taking off her makeup and went to open the door. "Is there anything else?"
"Oh! The owner of the yard over there came to the production team this afternoon and said they have something for you."
As he spoke, the assistant director took out an envelope and handed it over. Yan Nanxing probably knew what was going on, and his expression remained calm: "I understand. Thank you for your help."
"It's not a big deal, it's just a simple matter."
Nan Fei just came out of the shower and saw this scene. The assistant director left without saying much, and Yan Nanxing put the envelope into his pocket. When he turned around, he happened to meet Nan Fei's eyes.
He raised an eyebrow, but walked back into the room as if nothing had happened and sat down at the table again to use his skincare products.
The two of them were talking loudly, and Nan Fei suddenly remembered Yan Nanxing's sudden disappearance that afternoon, and it was hard not to be concerned. He looked up and saw that the camera was turned off, so he asked directly, "Did you go out with the host this afternoon?"
"Hmm." Yan Nanxing hummed as a response, but it was obvious that he had no intention of elaborating.
Nan Fei walked up and leaned against the table to look at him: "What are you doing?"
Yan Nanxing sighed: "Nan Fei, are you too curious about me today?"
"You want to know so much about me?" He smiled and stood up, approaching Nan Fei. "I'm curious, what's your identity, in order to pry into my privacy?"
