Chapter 17 Chapter 017 "Mr. Yan, do you have any...
This year marks my fifth year as a fan of Shannai, and also my second year since he retired from the internet. It was the early days of the short video boom, and like me, many people stumbled upon Shannai and became obsessed with him. In an era before video editing became so sophisticated, his cross-dressing videos were considered technically proficient. Shannai loved livestreaming, often sharing his daily life with fans and sending birthday wishes and gifts to friends on their birthdays. I miss those days, the days when he said dressing up as a hobby and doing livestreams was a way to chat with people. While other streamers would call him "baby," Shannai always insisted on calling his fans "sisters." He said girls were the most beautiful things in the world. But this dreamlike beauty crumbled after he was cyberbullied, never to be seen again.
The online violence carnival two years ago was ridiculous. A group of inexplicable people swarmed in, using all sorts of inappropriate pretexts to insult and frame Shannai in an attempt to attract traffic and make money. But fans who follow his Weibo know that Shannai donates supplies to girls in poor mountainous areas every month. But during that period, the countless speeches in his favor seemed to be ignored, and only overwhelming insults were left. I still remember it vividly. A month after that time, on June 13th, Shannai stood up. He chose to sacrifice himself and not occupy public resources, so he went into hiding and disappeared for two years.
I have hoped countless times whether Shannai would change his track and create a new account like other bloggers. Even if he can't be recognized, he can live a good life. Today, I accidentally saw the push of "Taoyuan Cottage" on my mobile phone. When I saw that familiar face, I was dazed at first, and then I was not sure. It was not until he spoke that I was sure that he was Shannai who once brought us so much warmth.
It’s great that he still sticks to his hobbies. It’s great that he still loves to laugh and be lively.
I want to say, thank you for being willing to step in front of the camera and let us know that you are doing well. Keep going, Yan Nanxing! We will always support you!
At first glance at the comments, all of them are supportive and blessing. Nan Fei still remembers the panic she felt when she was caught by Yan Nanxing when she secretly went to search for Shannai that day, but she did not directly acknowledge this identity due to the ambiguous and teasing words. Is the person described in the blog post really Yan Nanxing?
Nan Fei raised his head and expressed his doubts to his agent. Zhao Zong nodded gently at him: "It's one person."
"You're saying that Yan Nanxing, who fooled me around so much and pretended to be a decent person in front of others, has experienced all this before?" Nan Fei was still a little bit incredulous. Although Shannai's fans' comments were consistent with Yan Nanxing's disguise in front of others, how could he be a pure white person in private?!"
Noticing the "cyberbullying" content, Nan Fei frowned slightly: "After being popular for so long, he can still be cyberbullied. Someone must have been punished."
Zhao Zong responded, "Two years ago, public relations weren't as developed as they are now. Just covering someone's mouth could ruin an ordinary person. It's a very straightforward capitalistic tactic. He must have offended someone, which is why he's being deliberately smeared."
Nan Fei's eyes fell on those heartfelt blog posts and he snorted coldly, "That's right. He's worked so hard to portray his character to the public, so it won't be that easy to break down."
After reading the Weibo post, Zhao Zong reminded: "Have you made a decision?"
Yan Nanxing's past experiences and his excellent conditions in all aspects, coupled with the fermentation of "Taoyuan Cottage", made it inevitable that he would become a hit. But after a few days of not-so-harmonious partnership, would Nan Fei still choose to do business with him?
Nan Fei was a little worried. He had been paired with a "vase" team from the beginning, so it was hard to say whether to continue at this point. "... Let's talk about it later. I'll talk to Brother Tang in person when the time comes."
The conversation was almost over and it was time to prepare for departure. The luggage had been packed last night and they could leave as soon as they got their suitcases. Nan Fei happened to remember that Yan Nanxing had left him a little surprise on the bedside table, so he went to look for it and saw a small blue velvet square box.
Lapis lazuli is the representative color of Nanfei. Just from the packaging, you can tell that the gift giver must have put a lot of thought into it.
After discovering this, Nan Fei felt inexplicably happy. He went up and picked up the square box and placed it in his palm. The thing was not big, but it was quite heavy. He opened it carefully and saw an elaborately decorated glass perfume bottle.
Nan Fei sprayed some test fragrance, and a light herbal scent wafted out, with a not-so-obvious woody feel, a hint of freshness in the coldness, a mint-like stimulation, but not strong, just enough to wake up the mind and focus.
Under the perfume bottle is a small card with an emoticon drawn on it.
[This is the perfume I personally picked out and I think it’s perfect for you, the star that everyone is watching. ^-^]
Nan Fei felt a heat behind her ears.
After packing up the things, I walked out and happened to bump into Shen Yuzhe who lived opposite. After saying hello, the two of them went downstairs together. I saw Tang Jingyun and Tao Xi also going out to leave.
"Good morning, good morning!" Tao Xi raised her hand and waved at the two male guests. "Hey, why are there only the two of you? Where's Sister Nanxing?"
"He left half an hour ago." Nan Fei explained. Suddenly, she saw Tao Xi sniffing something and leaning forward. "What's wrong? Do I smell?"
"Hmm! Did you spray perfume, Nanfei? It's such a refreshing smell!" Tao Xi asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Nan Fei unconsciously stood up straight and cleared her throat, wanting to show off but pretending to be reserved: "Yes, it's a gift from Nan Xing."
Tao Xi's words attracted the other two as well. Tang Jingyun couldn't help but sigh, "Nan Xing is really good at choosing. This flavor really suits Xiao Nan. It feels low-key yet luxurious. I don't know what they added to it. It's obviously very light in flavor, but it has a very strong presence."
Just like Nan Fei, he is usually silent, but thanks to his wild and unrestrained typhoon, as long as he is there, he cannot be ignored.
Nan Fei was so flattered by these words that he was about to say something modest when Tang Jingyun continued with a smile, "The same thing happened with the bottle Nan Fei gave me. I've never found a perfume that suits me so well. I'll ask him where he picked it when I get home. His skill is enough for my studio's quality control department to learn for a while."
Nan Fei:?
Tao Xi followed suit and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Nanxing added a little white peach scent to my perfume! I love it so much!"
Several people looked at Shen Yuzhe, and he touched his neck embarrassedly: "Ah, yes, Nanxing also gave gifts to me and Brother Cen last night. He is so kind, I didn't even think about preparing gifts."
Nan Fei: "...then he really has a lot of heart."

Although Zhaoling is the neighboring city and county, it is located on the edge and happens to be next to Huayang City. It takes three or four hours to drive to the city center.
Today was also a lucky day. When he arrived at the main road, he just happened to avoid the morning rush hour. When he arrived at the branch of Caiyi in Huayang, Yan Nanxing looked at the well-decorated office and couldn't help but sigh: "In the past two years that I've been a hands-off manager, you've done a good job."
Two years is enough to set up a branch company, but as far as Yan Nanxing knows, Xing Rui has set up more than one branch company in these two years.
But why did he have to take a break from his busy schedule and open a branch in Huayang?
Yan Nanxing walked straight into the president's office, sat on the office chair, looked at the nameplate on the table, and began to interrogate him with a smile: "Tell me, what is the purpose of opening this company?"
"Huayang is neither a first-tier developed city nor does it have any particularly outstanding landmarks. Its only advantage is its prosperous commerce and trade, but that doesn't seem to be relevant, does it?"
Yan Nanxing got straight to the point, but Xing Rui was clearly prepared: "We all grew up in Huayang. Apart from anything else, our extensive network of contacts is irreplaceable. Yan Nanxing, you can't stay out forever. You'll have to come back one day."
Yan Nanxing's eyes trembled slightly.
Cai Yi and Yu Yian complement each other and are always one, just like he and Xing Rui have supported each other for so many years to achieve their current achievements.
Caiyi is paving the way for Yian.
They had known each other for so many years and were all intelligent people, so some things went unspoken. Xing Rui advised sincerely, "Nanxing, you'll have to come back and inherit the family business sooner or later. After all, your family truly holds the throne, a century-old foundation, unlike ours. If you don't take over, who can the Yan family rely on? Your cousin who's obsessed with nothing but scientific research?"
Yan Nanxing did not answer.
Although it was a fact that both of them knew, it was indeed not appropriate to bring it up at this point.
There was no way to stay in this stalemate. Xing Rui sighed and started looking for a way out. He took out his work tablet, pulled out the recent artist data, and threw it in front of Yan Nanxing.
"Okay, I don't want to talk about it. This is something you're interested in, right?"
"New artists? The same ones we saw at 'Wish' last time?"
Yan Nanxing took it and flipped through it one by one. His memory matched them one by one with the group of children he had met less than half a month ago. Finally, a look of appreciation appeared on his face: "You have a good eye. This group of children is quite promising. Three of them are in the top ten of the popularity list."
"Actually, we're still not that impressive. Our performance is average compared to the same period. We're just taking advantage of the trend." Xing Rui walked over to Yan Nanxing and compared his newcomers with those of other companies. They were actually catching up very closely. "If we can't innovate, the buzz won't last long."
"Oh, there's one with a really unique personality who's unreplaceable. He's the top streamer in the 2D track. He does some cosplay, has great acting and good scripts, and he makes short films with strong storylines. As far as I know, he's still an individual and hasn't signed with an agency. I talked to his assistant, and he has a kid who's still in school and has a lot of schoolwork. He probably treats this as a hobby, so he won't sign anything."
Xing Rui clicked on the blogger's homepage. To be honest, that face is indeed invincible, but as long as there is a possibility of becoming a potential competitor, it is not a good thing.
Yan Nanxing looked at the schedule on his homepage, tapping the table with her slender fingertips: "IP is at Xinhai, it's not a holiday, is he studying at Xinhai?"
Xing Rui nodded: "Probably. Apart from the winter and summer vacations and the days during his schedule, he spends most of his time at Xinhai."
"Okay, I'll go check it out after I'm done with this." Yan Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief. "Is there anything else?"
"Yes." Xing Rui quickly took out a set of electronic documents and sent them to Yan Nanxing, "Have you ever considered re-establishing the women's clothing account, Mr. Yan?"
