Huo Qu's life here was pretty regular. During daytime he would go to the filming set with Yu Qinghuan and acted as his assistant by the way, while at night, he would go to sleep at 9 obediently.
The whole crew knew who he was, plus he always wore that indifferent face to anyone except Yu Qinghuan, few people would talk to him. So, he lived a very comfortable life here.
When Huo Rong came to visit him, he could barely recognize his own little brother who became so down-to-earth.
At the time, Huo Qu was standing next to Liu Jia'an, helping him calculate the perfect angle to shoot.
With strings of precise numbers coming out of his mouth, Liu Jia'an's face was flushed with excitement. An over sixty years old man ran back and forth holding the camera according to the angle Huo Qu said.
While for Huo Qu, once it referred to his own professional field, he immediately changed from that cute guy to a very serious expert.
While others were busy with their asses off, only he stood there firmly, like a general having an ace up in his sleeve, with a simple command, the whole army would be at his service.
Yu Qinghuan had never known that Huo Qu could be so shining when in work. Those cold numbers now all condensed into his charm. That kind of unique abstinent appeal only belonging to scholars made him pin his eyes on him.
"Huo Qu," after trying his best to get himself together, he waved at Huo Qu, "Come here. You brother comes to see you."
Yu Qinghuan's voice immediately turned that bland and serious expert into a cute boy again. His face turned slightly red. He then trotted to Yu Qinghuan's side and looked at him joyfully, "Qinghuan, you want me?"
As for Huo Rong aside, he totally ignored him.
"Not me." Yu Qinghuan adjusted the hat for him and said, "It's your brother who wants you."
"Qu," Huo Rong felt very annoyed since he little brother totally ignored him in front of Yu Qinghuan. So he deliberately elbowed Yu Qinghuan aside and leaned before Huo Qu, "I'm here. I'm here."
As soon as he finished his words, Huo Qu already put wrinkles in his brows. He then moved aside and didn't stop until he could saw Qinghuan's face over his brother's big face.
Huo Rong, "…"
His silly brother Huo Rong immediately felt like thousands of arrows penetrating his heart. His little brother he had brought up offered himself to some other man. This felt awful!
He decided to take his little brother away from Yu Qinghuan, otherwise maybe someday his little brother would really be his!
After a dry cough, Huo Rong directly got to point, "Qu, the Institute is urging you back."
The Institute had all kinds of holidays, but Huo Qu had never taken any. He worked very hard and was self-disciplined, the most wanted employee of any boss.
The dean had never expected his most capable subordinate would skip work someday, the I-don't-want-to-come-back kind.
One or two days would be OK, three or five days would be fine, but ten days or half a month? Definitely no!
Finally the dean called the Huo Family.
All his words were indicating that the lab was going to lay paralyzed, and he wanted Huo Qu to go back to do his job!
As for Huo Qu running away from the world academic conference thing, he didn't care at all!
Actually he sent Huo Qu there just to show off, never expected him to exchange with others. His job was to wear that face as a mascot.
Such a high intelligent and super capable young talented scientist only belonged to our country! Everyone there would be dead jealous, wouldn't they?
Even if he didn't have a chance to show off, there'd be next time. Anyway Huo Qu belonged to their research institute. Giving other countries a few hundreds of years, they wouldn't be able to cultivate such a young talented scientist like Huo Qu!
The dean's OS: With Huo Qu here, we always have the confidence!
Even so, the dean still refused to go to him in person. He was smart enough to kick this hot potato to Huo Qu's family. After a long time meeting, the whole family decided to pass this important mission to Huo Rong…
"I want a vacation!" on hearing his brother, Huo Qu said so with every word stressed.
If it had been before, Huo Rong would be very glad if his little brother asked for a vacation. But now, it only gave him a headache. This was the first time he felt that the original Qu was not bad.
"Qu, don't be naughty." Huo Rong took out his phone and wanted Huo Qu to take a look, "Your dean has called me quite a few times. It's something urgent." After a pause, he made some concession, "if you wanna stay here, you can come back when you finish your job,"
Facing his nonstop persuasion, Huo Qu didn't buy it at all.
Finally Huo Rong could only turn to Yu Qinghuan.
"Be good! Go back with your brother." Yu Qinghuan said harshly, "Do you want to quit your job?"
"No, I don't." Huo Qu licked his lips and looked at Yu Qinghuan nervously, "But…I…I want to stay with you."
"The premise is you should take your own responsibility," Yu Qinghuan heaved a sigh, and touched Huo Qu's head, "Huo Qu, I hate those who are stubborn and irresponsible."
This totally worked on Huo Qu. In case Yu Qinghuan hated him, he immediately replied, "No, I'm not that kind."
"But if you don't go back now, it's kind of being irresponsible."
"Then…I'll go back now."
"Hm."
Huo Rong who was standing aside dropped his jaws. So his little brother was so easy to tackle with? With only a few words? Had he always been using the wrong methods?
On thinking of this, he deliberately spun around and came before Huo Qu and mouthed off, "Qu, I also hate irresponsible people."
Soaking in the sorrow of parting with Yu Qinghuan, Huo Qu totally turned a deaf ear to him. He just detoured this giant barrier and came to Yu Qinghuan's side.
Huo Rong, "…"
After Huo Qu left, Yu Qinghuan was still immersed in the big loss, then Ada called, asking him to prepare all the materials and to go to sign the contract with Starlight.
"Hurry, hurry!" On thinking of that, Yu Xin immediately got invigorated. He kept urging Yu Qinghuan, looking very impendent.
Yu Qinghuan could only get dressed up in a hurry and went downstairs. The moment he went into the elevator, Zhao Qingyuan caught up.
"I'm going with you." He was wearing a black jacket, with earphones in his ears, leaning against the elevator, a totally dandy, "In case you get deceived."
Yu Qinghuan cast a glance at him blandly, "Tell the truth."
Zhao Qinghuan, "I am bored to death here. Finally there's not my scene today. Of course I'm going with you."
"So," Yu Qinghuan looked at him like he was an amentia, "next time just tell the truth. Any of your lie would be busted in front of me."
Yu Qingyuan, "…"
Then he could only agree with a pitiful tone, "I got it."
Zhao Qingyuan was really thick-skinned. The second earlier he got choked by Yu Qinghuan's words, and the second later he already leaned by his side and slipped an earphone into Yu Qinghuan's ear, "Have a try. This song is a hit!"
After listening to it for a few seconds, Yu Qinghuan was a little speechless, "This is like from the stone age. How did you dig it out?"
The song was called Let My Tears Turn into a Missing Rain. In Yu Qinghuan's memories, it should be at least 7 or 8 years ago since he listened to it last time.
"It doesn't matter. As long as it's a classic." Zhao Qingyuan ignored Yu Qinghuan's disapproving and started humming with the rhythm.
Yu Qinghuan also ignored him, listening to the music while leaning against the elevator and resting his mind.
Right after they left, Fang Zhongxi and his broker came.
His broker looked kind of reluctant, "Zhongxi, will you really do this?"
He had contacted Ada a few days ago. But Ada said the spokesman of the normcore series watch had been settled. And he told Fang Zhongxi about this in the first place, hoping he could drop his evil idea.
But what he had never expected was that this news didn't make him quit, on the contrary, it became a catalyst.
"Do I look I am faking it?" Fang Zhongxi snorted.
His broker was all good but only liked daydreaming. In this circle, "hard work pays off" was only a fairy tale. Without connections or a sugar daddy, however good your acting skills were, you would never stand out!
Just playing with a man! He could bear with it. No big deal! He had to pay if he wanted to be famous. Actually he had already been prepared for any sacrifice. If it was not because he hadn't got a chance, he wouldn't have ended up like this!
Besides, how he became famous wasn't important. When he really became a superstar, who would care about his disreputable past!
On thinking of this, he cast a glance at his broker anathematically, "It���s OK if you don't wanna do it. Don't pull that long face. People who don't know may think your family member died."
Fang Zhongxi was not a sharp-tongued man. He was good-natured actually, or you could even say he was well-mannered. But things weren't smooth for him recently. Watching those newcomers whose acting skills were no better than him all surpassed him, he just couldn't hold himself.
"You!" His broker got ticked off. He then snorted while glancing at Fang Zhongxi's biting face, "OK, I quit! I'd rather not see those nasty things!"
Speaking of which, he already turned around and walked away.
Bah! Such an ungrateful asshole! He would like to keep his eyes wide open and see if Fang Zhongxi could make a hit by selling his ass!
While now in Starlight, seeing Evenson keep looking at his phone now and then, the assistant couldn't help asking, "Will you really see that C-list celebrity? Is it appropriate? We're going to sign the contract with Yu Qinghuan."
Evenson put on a fake smile, "Are these two things contradicting?"
"Of course!" The assistant blurted out, "You seeing that little star means you are replacing Yu Qinghuan with him, doesn't it?"
"What makes you think it that way?" Evenson stood up, with contempt in his beautiful blue eyes, "He throws himself on me. Why would I offend Huo because of him?"
After a pause, he adjusted his tie and grinned, "Besides, have I even promised him anything? He offers himself to me for free. Why would I say no?"
Looking at his boss' handsome face, the assistant didn't know why he shivered subconsciously.
When Yu Qinghuan arrived at Starlight, Evenson's assistant had already made the contract prepared.
Having signed numerous contracts in his previous life, Yu Qinghuan had already obtained the special skills of quickly extracting the keys points through the long-winged content. After looking through the contract and finding no problems and preparing to sign his own name on it, Yu Qinghuan incidentally caught a glimpse of Yu Qinghuan and noticed that he was quickly drawing or writing something on a paper.
Yu Qinghuan was a little confused. Was there something wrong with the contract and he was taking notes?
Zhao Qingyuan was always dandiacal, but at the critical moment, sometimes he was really useful.
On thinking of that, Yu Qinghuan made up his mind and said, "Qingyuan, would you like to take a look at the contract?"
Zhao Qingyuan was now still writing swiftly, looking very serious.
It seemed he didn't hear him. Yu Qinghuan could only get up and tapped at the desk before him and asked again, "Qingyuan, do you find any problem of the contract?"
"Huh?" Zhao Qinghuan was pulled back from his dedicated state. He looked at Yu Qinghuan, confused, then blurted out, "Oh, oh, you mean problem. Yeah, what is the next line of a speechless ending?"
Yu Qinghuan, "…"
He lowered his head and took a look at the paper Zhao Qingyuan was writing on, only seeing a line of big red words: LYRICS OF LETTING MY TEARS TURN INTO A MISSING RAIN!
Yu Qinghuan, "…"
Good! Now the last credit of this man had been dissipated to him!
