Chapter 30 Counting Sheep



"Are you blaming me for causing you to film so many times?" After being sulky alone for a long time, Song Yu angrily looked at Li Zhao who was happily drinking milk tea: "Also, do you have a pig brain? That Zhao Junnan is obviously problematic, and you are still smiling at him foolishly. Stay away from him from now on, okay?"

His family is rich and powerful, so even though he is not very famous, not many people in the circle dare to offend him. So when he learned that Zhao Junnan was going to join the crew of "Tian Ge", someone told him about Zhao Junnan's background.

He became famous as soon as he debuted, but his big-shot attitude made people in the circle dislike him. After a decade of silence, he made a comeback with "Xia Jun". Now he is trying to sell the persona of a dedicated veteran cadre everywhere, but in reality he is just a bad person.

Looking at the milk tea in Li Zhao's hand again, Song Yu felt that it looked familiar. Wasn't this his favorite brand of milk tea?

Noticing that Song Yu was staring at the milk tea in his hand, Li Zhao explained warmly and friendly: "Your assistant bought you milk tea just now, but you said you didn't want to drink it, so your assistant gave it to me."

Song Yu took a few deep breaths and advised himself to stay calm and not get angry: "Aren't you afraid that my assistant will put something else in the milk tea? Artists don't accept food from fans nowadays, and you still dare to eat my assistant's food?"

"Have you ever been hoeing the field in the middle of the day, with your sweat dripping down to the ground?" Li Zhao sipped his milk tea. "We have known each other for such a long time, I believe you are not that kind of mean person."

"Do I really want you to trust me so much?!" Song Yu felt his head buzzing, and even began to doubt why he chose this thing as his opponent in the first place. This was simply a mockery of his IQ.

"Okay, okay, drink if you like. If you gain weight and your skin becomes bad, it's your own business." Song Yu covered his face with the script, deciding to out of sight out of mind.

He is a normal person and shouldn't bother with these weird things.

After Li Zhao finished his milk tea, he took out his cell phone and opened Zhang Xiaoyuan's WeChat chat box.

Zhao Zhao is lucky: I just went to be an excellent Young Pioneer.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: What the hell?

Zhao Zhao is lucky: when people say bad things about me, I help them close the door. Also, my mobile phone has become more sophisticated and has learned to record automatically.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: …

Zhang Xiaoyuan: Don’t be silly, send me the recording.

Li Zhao sent the recording to Zhang Xiaoyuan, and soon after, he received a long and angry curse from Zhang Xiaoyuan.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: Zhao Junnan is that idiot! What an idiot! He's pissed me off and I'm about to have a heart attack. When he shamelessly advertised in front of the media that he wouldn't use a body double and was trying to sell his professional image, I knew he was an idiot who used his butt as a face!

Zhao Zhao is lucky: Brother Xiaoyuan, good children should not swear.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: What a lousy kid! He actually refused the small role that the director of "Xia Jun" wanted to give you. He knew how difficult it was for an actor like you with no background to get a role with lines and a plot in a TV series that was broadcast on TV, but he did it anyway. I've been in the industry for so many years, and I've never seen anyone as disgusting as him. Even Song Yu, the little idiot, is better than him, the big idiot.

Zhao Zhao is lucky: You can scold Zhao Junnan, but don’t scold me, the one who feeds you. I just finished drinking his milk tea.

Zhang Xiaoyuan: …

Zhang Xiaoyuan: You naughty kid, you came here just to piss me off, right? !

Seeing that Brother Xiaoyuan was about to give up scolding Zhao Junnan and turn around to scold himself, Li Zhao quickly said that he had to film and put his phone in his pocket.

"Brother Song, how about we rehearse another scene?" Seeing that Song Yu was depressed, Li Zhao stood up, picked up the script and walked to Song Yu: "Have you ever thought that food tasted bad before, but found it was not bad after tasting it?"

"What? You're a nobody, and you want to teach me how to act?" Song Yu took the script off his face and turned his head away uncomfortably: "No need."

"No, I just want you to act with me." Li Zhao put the script down and stopped smiling. He was no longer Li Zhao, but the great official who had left his name in history in the play.

"Sir Zhang, now that we are facing foreign enemies, is Xu more hateful than them in your eyes?" The young man had a handsome face, and his every move could drive the women of the capital crazy.

Song Yu didn't expect Li Zhao to get into the role so quickly, and was stunned.

"Brother Song?" Seeing that Song Yu didn't respond to his lines, Li Zhao instantly pulled his emotions out of the character in the play and bent down to look at him: "Director Yang only gave us an hour to rest. I'm afraid I won't perform well. Can you help me?"

Song Yu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"Brother Song, Brother Song." Li Zhao clasped his hands together and looked at him with shining eyes.

Song Yu clenched the script in his hand, and after a while he snorted, "Let's get started."

"Brother Song, I think you could be a little awkward when you said this line, just like the way you were awkward when you asked me to stay away from Zhao Junnan just now."

"Who's weird?! Who?!"

"I was wrong. I was wrong. I mean, it was like the feeling just now. How about we do it again?"

At the shooting site, Director Yang repeatedly looked at the previous shots and was so worried that he almost rubbed his forehead: "Each of these is worrying."

He originally thought that Zhao Junnan and Li Zhao were friends, but Zhao Junnan wanted to block Li Zhao's way. He didn't want to worry about the grudges between these artists, but it was a pity for Li Zhao's child.

The investors invited Zhao Junnan to play a guest role mainly because of his current popularity and good reputation.

The largest investor of this drama is Strawberry Entertainment. Although Li Zhao is an artist under Strawberry Entertainment, there are so many artists under Strawberry Entertainment that they may not offend Zhao Junnan for Li Zhao.

In the office, Yan Ting sat in a chair and looked through documents.

"Sir, this is Mr. Sun from Strawberry Entertainment calling." Assistant Qin came in with a phone and placed it in front of Yan Ting.

Yan Ting, who hadn't slept for twenty hours, put down the pen in his hand and took the phone from Assistant Qin: "Mr. Sun."

"Hello, Mr. Ting. I'm Sun Huaizhi." Mr. Sun's voice sounded a little cautious: "I'm sorry to interrupt your work. I called you this time to express my gratitude to you for letting our company discover Li Zhao, a good actor."

"Yeah." Yan Ting stopped flipping through the documents and listened quietly to Sun Huaizhi praising Li Zhao on the other end of the phone.

"It's a pity that Li Zhao has run into some trouble recently. Our company may not be able to resolve it in a short time." Mr. Sun's tone sounded more cautious: "But please rest assured, we will definitely handle this matter properly."

"explain."

"Recently, a top-tier actor seems to be targeting Li Zhao. All the resources we prepared for Li Zhao have been ruined by him." Mr. Sun sighed, "We had already negotiated a big brand endorsement for him, but that actor surnamed Zhao cut in halfway. Our Li Zhao is still a newcomer, how could he compete with him? Unfortunately, we can only suffer in silence because the actor surnamed Zhao is popular among the public now."

Mr. Sun rambled on for a long time, and finally hung up the phone contentedly. He then called Assistant Cao and said, "Don't worry about Zhao Junnan. Continue to give Li Zhao the resources he deserves, and double it!"

"Boss Sun, what have you done?" Cao Jia looked at Sun Huaizhi in confusion. How could the big boss suddenly become so decisive, not at all like his usual smooth self?

"I didn't do anything. I just filed a trivial complaint with the child's parents." Mr. Sun smiled mysteriously: "Zhao Junnan bullied other people's children, so don't blame the parents for causing trouble for him."

Cao Jia was full of confusion. Was the child referring to Li Zhao?

But Li Zhao’s internal information clearly stated that he came from an orphanage, so where did his parents come from?

Is this a parent who came out of nowhere?

Yan Ting put down the phone and looked up at Special Assistant Qin.

"Sir, I remember that the Ministry of Commerce is planning to find a suitable spokesperson for a new product of the branch." Before Yan Ting could speak, Assistant Qin spoke up: "I think Mr. Li is quite suitable."

Yan Ting nodded slightly.

After Assistant Qin left the office, he rubbed his temples, which were about to burst with pain, leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

My body is extremely sleepy, but my mind is very clear.

The phone screen lit up and he reached for it.

Zhao Zhao is lucky: Tingting, I'm so sleepy, but I still have several performances in the evening.

Yan Ting: I’m not sleepy.

Zhao Zhao is lucky: Then please chat with me for a while and don’t let me fall asleep.

Yan Ting: Yeah.

Li Zhao sent messages very quickly. One moment he said the midnight snack was delicious, the next moment he said the crew's lunch boxes had plenty of meat, and he even talked for a long time about how fragrant the osmanthus flowers at the entrance of the hotel were.

He was as happy as a silly roe deer and did not say a word about being bullied, as if the things Sun Huaizhi mentioned had never existed at all.

Yan Ting: Has anyone bullied you?

Zhao Zhao is lucky: Zhao Zhao is still a baby, who would bully a baby.

Baby?

The pale and slender fingers stopped, and his head suddenly felt like it was exploding with pain. He seemed to hear the woman's screams again, and the woman's soft humming.

"Baby, my dear baby..."

Ding-a-ling.

The urgent ringing of a cell phone interrupted the woman's humming. The office suddenly became quiet, with only the ringing of the cell phone echoing.

Yan Ting picked up the phone.

"Tingting, I forgot to ask you just now. It's almost one o'clock. Why haven't you slept yet?"

Li Zhao's voice came from the phone. There were a lot of people walking around on his side, and it sounded a bit noisy.

"Overtime." The pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead, and the sweat slid down his pale cheeks, but it did not reveal any expression on his calm face.

"I knew that in a big company like yours, the boss would definitely exploit people." Li Zhao sighed, "Tingting, staying up late will make you bald. For the sake of your pretty face, let's go to bed early."

Big company boss Yan Ting: "..."

"Insomnia." Yan Ting said, "It has nothing to do with the boss."

"It would be nice if I could share my sleepiness with you." Li Zhao yawned, "How about I count sheep for you, and you find a place to lie down and sleep. Maybe the sheep will jump to your place with my sleepiness."

"One sheep, two sheep... fifty sheep..."

The voice of the man counting sheep becomes lower and lower. Yan Ting held his cell phone and looked at the night outside the window with calm eyes.

The author has something to say: Ting Baby: A wolf comes, and with one howl, all the sheep are gone!
