Chapter 16 Chapter 016 #Yannanxingshan……
Xing Rui brought a driver with him for a private trip today. Seeing the driver's work badge, Yan Nanxing teased, "What a new face! Is he from Caiyi or Yian? When did you, Boss Xing, bring your business to Huayang?"
"Yeah, you guessed it was a branch of Huayang. How could it be Yian? That would be like showing off your skills in front of your father." Xing Rui grinned. "Hey, I thought you were only concerned about business and didn't know about personnel changes. How did you figure that out?"
Yan Nanxing rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not blind. You're wearing work clothes. And how could I not see your preferred car model? I don't believe you drove this car all the way from Xinhai. If you're so kind, I'll take your last name."
Xing Rui pretended to be heartbroken: "Oh my, these words really hurt my heart, can't I just be kind-hearted?"
Yan Nanxing sneered and said nothing.
"Alas, the feelings have really faded. You have lived a happy and perfect pastoral life here, regardless of the day and night at home... Ouch!"
Before he could finish his words, Yan Nanxing, who was annoyed by the noise, kicked him: "You are addicted to acting, right?"
"Okay, okay, let's talk." Xing Rui put away his joking expression and first asked about the situation over the past few days. "This is your first time participating in a variety show recording. How do you feel?"
"It's just so-so." Yan Nanxing didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression relaxed. "The guests are all good, and the filming content these days is also standard, without any major waves."
"However, the show's filming arrangements are lacking. It's called a pastoral life, but it's actually a completely contrived pastoral life, performed just for the audience's amusement." Despite saying this, Yan Nanxing still has expectations. "I can see that the producer has some ideas. I hope there will be some new ideas next week."
With Yan Nanxing giving it such high praise, it must be a truly good experience. Xing Rui looked around, a look of surprise on his face. "Oh my god, I don't know who was the one who looked down on this project a few days ago, but now thinks it's good?"
Yan Nanxing didn't give him face: "If you want to know what's good about them, wait for the show to start."
"Okay, okay, I'm not interested in this either. It doesn't matter what kind of work you do," Xing Rui coaxed him, then changed the subject. "Enough small talk, President Yan, let's get down to business?"
This time Xing Rui came to pick up Yan Nanxing specially, not because they had such good relations that he had to do everything for him personally, but because Yan Nanxing suddenly called last night and asked Xing Rui to come to Zhaoling.
Yan Nanxing was waiting for this sentence. He took out an envelope from his windbreaker pocket. It was the one that the assistant director had handed to him last night.
Xing Rui took the well-preserved envelope and found it was still quite thick when he squeezed it. When he opened it, he found that it contained many pieces of paper folded into squares. When the pieces of paper were opened, they contained a string of names and contact information.
Xing Rui was a little puzzled and took it out to show Yan Nanxing: "What is this?"
Yan Nanxing smiled and said, "I met a distinguished person at the filming location yesterday. The farmers in that area all grow tea plants. I could smell the earthy fragrance on them. Guess what?"
Catching the key words, Xing Rui was stunned and a little bit incredulous: "You mean, you found the right farmland?"
Yan Nanxing nodded. "I went to confirm it, and I'm about 70% to 80% sure. The local farmers don't have any ideas, so they just plant tea as if it were an ordinary tea field. However, the tea they harvested tastes a bit bitter, which is also true. So I discussed it with that big brother, and after the soil quality is confirmed, we will hire them to cooperate in the planting at a high price."
"Then the man told me that many people in his village were growing this kind of tea tree. I asked him to find families willing to cooperate and leave their contact information door to door."
At this point, the meaning behind the words was fully revealed. Xing Rui couldn't suppress his laughter in excitement, and even his voice rose a lot: "Yan Nanxing, Yan Nanxing, your family is really easy to produce talents. The Yan family's good talents have been perfectly inherited. If you hadn't quarreled with your father and heard about his joining the Yan family, he would have laughed in his dreams when he knew about this!"
Although he knew this person was gifted, it was a bit too far-fetched to be able to pinpoint someone with just a hint of scent. But facing the reality, Xing Rui rubbed his hands in anticipation. "You said you were 70% to 80% sure, so it should be almost certain. I see you haven't got the soil quality, but what if... what if it's just a 30% to 20% problem?"
Yan Nanxing: "Nonsense, why do you think I called you here? I have other business to deal with, and I need to contact the quality inspection agency as soon as possible. It's most reassuring to leave this matter to you."
"Besides, if it's really just that 30% or 20% mistake..." Yan Nanxing couldn't help but be silent for a moment, but still continued, "Xing Rui, we've hit a wall more than once or twice, we won't be unable to withstand this little setback."
The sudden drop in the atmosphere seemed a bit out of place. Xing Rui gave a dry laugh and tried to bring the topic back: "But it still has to be you. Even when you're on vacation, you're still thinking about your main job."
"Hey, I watched the live broadcast. Only someone like you who always has his eyes on the ground can do such a thing."
Yan Nanxing also calmed down: "Just consider it as a compliment."
"But what I'm saying is, if we find a 100% suitable test field this time, once the results come out, the research costs will be more than halved, and Xiaoqian will be able to breathe a sigh of relief. It will also relieve a lot of pressure on both funding and research progress."
Hearing him mention this, Yan Nanxing couldn't help but smile in relief. "Yes, if there's good news, send it to the Xin'an Research Institute immediately. They've been working on this project for a long time under pressure from all sides. If there's a breakthrough this time, it would be a slap in the face of those old guys."
The good news brought by Yan Nanxing was like a gentle breeze. Xing Rui smiled happily and carefully resealed the envelope and put it in his bag. Yan Nanxing, who was sitting next to him, stared at him and suddenly said, "You have dark circles under your eyes again?"
Xing Rui's movements suddenly paused, and he froze in embarrassment just as he was about to open his phone's camera. However, this action had already revealed a lot. Yan Nanxing said, "Don't look at it. The makeup covers it up well, but how come I didn't know you usually wear makeup?"
The atmosphere in the car fell silent again. Xing Rui tried to find an excuse, which was easy to find. He could just say he'd been staying up late late lately because he'd been supporting a new artist. But Xing Rui didn't really want to hide the real reason for his late nights. Finally, he sighed deeply, "Now that things have come to this, I can't hide it anymore. Nanxing, have you been checking Weibo these past few days?"
"without."
I'm so busy at work, who has time to check Weibo?
What's more, the guests' mobile phones were taken away during the recording of the program, but because they still needed mobile phones to communicate, the program team distributed special mobile phones for filming. The chat interfaces of these mobile phones were also filmed during the recording, and the WeChat accounts used for chatting were also temporarily registered.
The others didn't know, but Yan Nanxing paid great attention to privacy and security and had no habit of logging into his account on other people's devices. So, apart from WeChat, he hadn't used any apps that required logging into an account in the past few days, let alone reading online comments.
In fact, from the moment he decided to take on the show, Yan Nanxing had prepared himself mentally in advance. Returning to the life behind the camera after a long absence, he would have to face the huge public opinion.
But the so-called public opinion is actually a very subtle thing. In the current capital-controlled Internet environment, the reputation of a public figure is not entirely determined by his own words and deeds, but more by what kind of image the capital wants you to create for the outside world.
Because he was unwilling to obey before, Yan Nanxing was forced out once. After he finally came out of the shadows, he was asked to join the game for the second time. The main reason was that Xing Rui provided a reason that could not be refused - Yan Nanxing's illness required desensitization.
He accepted this statement and tried the solution provided by Xing Rui. However, no matter how confident a person is, he will have a sense of crisis when facing the pitfalls he has stepped into before. No matter how comprehensive the various preventive measures are, it is impossible to remain calm when facing the real situation.
In fact, during the recording, Yan Nanxing guessed that there would definitely be discussions about him on the Internet, but from the moment he got his phone back until now, he didn't dare to open Weibo even though he had plenty of time to check. At this moment, he clicked on Weibo on his phone and switched the account interface. To the right of the small account that was specially cleaned up for recording the variety show, there was a bright red "NEW", but Yan Nanxing's finger just stayed above it and didn't click it.
"Nanxing, relax, it's over." Xing Rui patted his shoulder to comfort him. "It's okay. We'll have to face it sooner or later. Besides, we haven't made any mistakes. We can't even be considered as black material. Don't be affected by the words of irrelevant people."
Yan Nanxing took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "You're right. No matter how difficult it is, can it be more difficult than having no power, no influence, no money, and no time at that time?"
He switched accounts resolutely, but it was stuck for a while when he logged in, and then a bunch of messages popped up one after another. He first noticed the exponential growth in the number of fans, and then a bunch of private messages popped up.
Looking at the 99+ on the private message interface, Yan Nanxing quickly clicked on it to clear it. Although he noticed a few compliments on his beauty, he didn't dare to look closely and cleared them all.
"He really quit the Internet completely. The last time I followed the official Weibo, I actually forgot to turn off private messages." Yan Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, and then, at Xing Rui's suggestion, clicked on the hot search - entertainment hot search.
Sure enough, his name was on the front row.
#Yannanxingshannai
For a moment, Yan Nanxing was thinking about what kind of scene he would face if he clicked on this trending search, how many people would scold him, and how many people would scold him like they did before, saying that Shan Nai was inappropriate and should be banned...
When I clicked on the entry, the first thing that caught my eye was: Internet celebrity Shannai makes a comeback? My internet favorite is back!
Yan Nanxing looked at the title of the article in astonishment. It had been posted the previous Friday, the day of the livestream. The blogger was a longtime fan from his days as a cross-dressing influencer. The entire post was devoted to his love for Shannai and his longing for her after he retired from the internet. It wasn't until last week's Taoyuan livestream that he saw Yan Nanxing's face, and he couldn't contain his excitement.
However, she was not the only one who shared the same sentiments. Many people in the comment section echoed the sentiments and expressed the same love and blessings.
In addition, there are many similar articles and comments in the entry. Except for those marketing accounts that are trying to take advantage of the popularity, most of the comments are positive, including curiosity and affectionate confessions. Of course, there are still some bad comments and insults, but basically no one pays attention to them. Overall, Yan Nanxing's reputation has skyrocketed.
Yan Nanxing scrolled through the pages, becoming increasingly surprised. "It hasn't been that long since I quit the internet. Has the internet become a new place?"
"You acted so serious, I thought everyone on the internet was scolding me, but this is it?"
Xing Rui felt wronged: "I thought you would get PTSD when you saw the name Shannai."
"Forget it, I won't tell you, you idiot." After all this, Yan Nanxing's mood suddenly became much happier. "Let me go back and take a look at what these senior fans have written... Oh my god, how can these little girls write so well..."
