Chapter 24 Chapter 024 Yan Nanxing walked to the south...
"Shaw Peisi? I've never heard of this name. What's wrong with this artist?"
After leaving the airport and arriving at the hotel, Yan Nanxing originally wanted to rest for a while, but not long after he sat down, Wan Quan suddenly brought up the matter of the flying guests again.
Wanquan was so efficient that he screened out the possible candidates in just a few hours, but he only mentioned the others briefly and then put them aside. Only this person was given special attention and explained in detail.
The photo and name were brought out together, but Yan Nanxing had a lukewarm reaction after seeing them. Although he knew that this was too normal for an ordinary person, Wan Quan was still a little surprised that he, a former internet celebrity, really didn't care about anything in the entertainment industry.
Yan Nanxing simply picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea calmly, frowning slightly: "What kind of tea does such a big hotel use? The taste is too bad. Can you help me check the compartment of the suitcase? There are my usual tea bags in there."
Well, this guy not only doesn’t care, he doesn’t pay attention. He cares more about the current experience.
While Yan Nanxing was looking at some documents, Wan Quan silently took out the tea bags and brewed a new pot as he requested. When he came back, he saw that he had put down his phone and was leaning against the sofa for a nap with his eyes closed.
Wan Quan was somewhat helpless: "Let's get to know each other a little bit, so that there won't be any unpleasantness when we meet tomorrow."
So Yan Nanxing lazily agreed, opened his eyes again, took out his phone to check, and said, "I've finished reading it."
He is a very ordinary actor, a popular young actor, but he only stars in popular dramas, which do not arouse any interest in people.
Wanquan: “Turn the page.”
Just as he was about to turn the page, Yan Nanxing's eyes widened.
No wonder Wanquan asked him to pay special attention to this person.
The circle is so small that the program team has limited options for choosing flying guests. Either they are recently popular and come to the program to promote their works for mutual benefit, or they have some personal grudges with the regular guests and come to stage a drama. Considering that the program has not yet officially started, Wan Quan is more inclined to the latter.
The regular guests on the show generally have pretty good social reputations, so it's hard to find someone from the circle who has some issues with them.
As a result, Wanquan told him that the truth was far from as simple as he thought.
"Except for Chen Yuzhe, the guests of the program are all veterans in the industry. How could there not be a colleague with whom they have a grudge over the years? To put it more bluntly, they are rivals."
"If you ask which of them has the most well-known opponent, it's definitely him."
After just two or three sentences, Yan Nanxing had already sat up straight, his expression slightly solemn: "How could it be..."
Yan Nanxing frowned slightly, and Wan Quan finished the rest of his sentence for him: "How could it be Nan Fei? I never thought that Nan Fei, who is praised by everyone in and outside his circle, could have a rival?"
That being said, it is not difficult to understand if you look at more information about this person.
The relationship between Shao Peisi and Nan Fei is actually quite complicated.
When they debuted, they belonged to the same company and the same boy group.
In his early years, Nan Fei debuted as the leader of a five-member boy group. After the two-year limited period ended, the members went their separate ways and developed separately. Some retired and some moved behind the scenes. Now, only Nan Fei and Shao Peisi are left on the stage.
But Shao Peisi switched to a career in acting and is now considered very popular in the industry. Nan Fei, on the other hand, took a different approach and continued to hone his skills in music as an original rapper, and even achieved some success.
"The reason these two became rivals is, firstly, because Shao Peisi's contract expired last year and he joined a rival company, and secondly, the few times they've appeared on stage together in recent years, they've always ended in an ugly scene. As for the reason—"
Wan Quan kept the question a secret, pausing before continuing, "There's no official explanation for the reason, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that these two don't get along. With the main character causing such a commotion, fans have also decided to split ties and divide their stances."
Yan Nanxing laughed at this reason: "What difference does it make whether I said it or not? Anyway, I don't know. But now this rival is coming to Taoyuan as a flying guest?"
Wan Quan nodded: "That's what I mean. Shao Peisi happens to be available recently, so he is the most likely candidate to come."
This vaccination had no preventive effect at all.
After listening, Yan Nanxing was silent for a moment and chuckled.
“Invite someone like this to the show?”
That would be interesting.
——
The next morning, everyone met up again. After a lively moment, the director called a small meeting with a few people before filming started.
First, the guest star of this episode was introduced. Just as Wan Quan had guessed, it was Shao Peisi.
As soon as this person was announced, everyone turned their eyes to Nan Fei who was sitting in the corner. Although they restrained their emotions, a hint of sympathy was still conveyed.
Nan Fei's already bad mood became even worse.
Only Yan Nanxing didn't look at him. He suddenly asked, "Is this small meeting being recorded?"
The director was stunned for a moment, then explained, "Taking into account the special circumstances of this guest, we need to hold a meeting to discuss it. The official filming will not begin until tonight."
What was not stated explicitly was that the program team needed Nan Fei to express his opinion.
But to be frank, saying this at this critical moment is no different from forcing Nan Fei to agree. What's more, with so many people present, Nan Fei can't say no for both emotional and logical reasons.
By the time the director finished speaking, some people had stopped laughing.
The guests looked away, and even the two ladies, who were always good at smoothing things over, didn't know what to say. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become dull, Yan Nanxing spoke with a look of bewilderment: "Does anyone know this Mr. Shao?"
After these words were spoken, the already awkward atmosphere plummeted to a freezing point.
Although I can understand that he is not from the circle and is not aware of these things, but if this topic is brought up, doesn't that mean Nan Fei is directly required to admit it?
Tao Xi was already making faces and getting mad with anxiety, but suddenly, Nan Fei spoke up to everyone's surprise: "I know him."
All the gazes turned back.
"My former colleague was a good person, but he was sometimes outspoken and easily said the wrong thing."
Nan Fei's tone was calm and emotionless. He seemed to be responding to Yan Nanxing's question, but his eyes were looking at the director, and his comments were quite normal, without any disparagement.
It can even be considered a good compliment.
Before Nan Fei said this, several people didn't dare to breathe a word, but after he expressed his attitude, the others also tried to smooth things over very tactfully.
What about strong business capabilities, being polite and easy to talk to? The more he talks, the more outrageous it becomes.
Yan Nanxing, who had brought up the topic, became silent again, but Nan Fei turned his head and caught his gaze from several seats away.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled without any purpose, as if she was waiting for him to look at her, and she knew that he would definitely look at her.
Nan Fei was silent, and after a moment, he understood the whole story.
Yan Nanxing did it on purpose.
They deliberately forced him to speak and admit his relationship with this person, so that he would have no chance to avoid the subsequent filming.
How could this person not know about his innocent side?
Nan Fei blinked and looked away.
Fortunately, he didn't intend to hide from the beginning, so Yan Nanxing's little trick would fail.
The two of them looked at each other silently without being noticed. The other guests were still adding information for Nan Fei. After all, they were all in the same circle, and their work was bound to have some overlap over the years. After a lot of chatter, Yan Nanxing pieced together a basic image from everyone's descriptions.
He has a good personality and a straightforward temper. His thoughts are written directly on his face. He is a bit casual, but he has a lively look in his eyes and is easy to get along with.
We are quite easy to get along with, but just based on this point, there is a lot to delve into.
With such a transitional opening, the atmosphere in the entire group became much more relaxed, and the director finally brought up the key project: return to the cottage this afternoon to clean up and assign groups for the new period.
When everyone heard the request, although they had a rough guess, they still couldn't help but complain.
Tao Xi didn't even bother to act anymore. Taking advantage of the fact that filming hadn't started yet, he bluntly said, "How can you record a program about cleaning? Does anyone really watch this kind of content?"
Director Xu explained: "Due to the sudden heavy rain in the past two days, the small building has suffered some damage because we did not take timely protective measures. We need everyone to work hard to repair it."
Guests: ...I just want to curse.
Listen, is this human language?
Tao Xi shifted his position and whispered in Yan Nanxing's ear, "I even suspected that the production team had caused the damage. They bought the tools at the end of the last episode and asked us to clean and repair them this time. They really made the best use of them."
Yan Nanxing also had an indescribable expression on his face. Considering what they bought last week, it shouldn't be possible that even the door was broken.
The door is really broken.
Director Xu said that the first thing to be hit was the gate.
When the six people returned to Taoyuan Cottage, the bleak scene at the entrance made them silent.
If it weren't for... the cameras all around me, I really wanted to curse him out to vent my anger.
This is no longer bad enough to describe it!
The muddy road, the mottled traces, the crumbling wooden door, the whole building seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, and the deep shell made people feel extremely heavy.
Tao Xi forced a smile with a bitter face: "Isn't it because of the heavy rain? Instead of being soaked in water for two whole days?"
Considering that the program team does not have such outrageous ability, everyone can only believe this reason.
But Yan Nanxing knew a thing or two about this: "The weather can cause this situation, but it's only March, so it's rare to have such heavy rain."
"But it only looks serious. It can be cleaned up quickly."
As he said, although the building looked miserable from the outside, the interior of the house was not affected much. The biggest damage was that the wooden door installed on the first floor for aesthetics was severely flooded.
Tang Jingyun, who has rich life experience, began to direct the grouping.
"The yard has been damaged quite a bit, so we'll need at least two people to clean it. We'll also need to do a simple cleanup inside the house, so we'll assign two people to that as well. As for this door—"
Nan Fei took the initiative to take the job: "Let me do it, I can fix it."
Everyone looked over in surprise. Nan Fei coughed lightly and said, "I live alone, so I have experience."
This is not just ordinary experience.
But because they went to the hardware store together, Yan Nanxing was not very surprised. He calmly watched Nan Fei walk towards Director Xu and asked him if he had a spare door.
Not only the guests were surprised, Director Xu was also stunned for a moment before replying that the spare door was on the way and had not been delivered yet.
After all, no matter how outrageous it was, the program crew still had basic humanity. They had originally planned to ask a carpenter to fix it, but Nan Fei said he could fix it, which immediately aroused everyone's curiosity, and they really wanted to see how Nan Fei would fix it.
But the new door hadn't arrived yet, and the old one had swelled up and couldn't be used, so everyone simply went about doing other cleaning work first.
Originally, Tang Jingyun planned to follow the previous grouping: "In that case, Taotao and Xiao Shen will clean the yard together, I will take care of the sanitation on the first floor, Teacher Cen will go check the ingredients and prepare dinner, Nanxing will work harder, and you will be in charge of the second floor balcony if there are signs of water seepage. Xiaofei, you follow Nanxing first--"
Before he could finish his words, Nan Fei interrupted him: "Can I go with Xiao Tao and Xiao Shen?"
Because of this sentence, everyone fell into an inexplicable and strange silence.
Tao Xi was a little surprised and pointed at herself and Shen Yuzhe: "Us?"
"Well, the yard is a bit of a mess, and you two probably can't handle it. Anyway, the new door will be fixed on the first floor after it's delivered, so I might as well give you a hand."
What he said made sense, and there was nothing unusual in his expression. He just interrupted after he finished talking about the groups, and didn't even look at Yan Nanxing.
Tang Jingyun didn't agree directly, and turned her head to the side, giving Yan Nanxing a questioning look from an angle that was not captured by the camera. The person being looked at didn't react as much as everyone else, and smiled to smooth things over: "Alright, no matter how much work there is on the second floor, there is no yard to do it, so let's do it this way."
The person involved said he had no objection, so everyone saved time and started cleaning as quickly as possible.
Before they dispersed, Yan Nanxing walked over to Nan Fei, bowed slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Nan Fei, what are you feeling guilty about?"
The author has something to say:
----------------------
There is an idiot... I finished my homework yesterday and forgot to set the time. Luckily I woke up early at 8am today and found it [burst into tears]
It's better to stop for a few days and confess that I am more guilty than Nan Fei.
I've been so busy lately, with more things than I expected. I pray that time will pass quickly and I can graduate soon so I can go home [Namaste][Namaste][Namaste]
