Shut Up, You Fake Fan!

Of course, all of that wasn’t important.

Ye Jiuyue just felt like there was no need for Shen Weixing to explain in such detail, so he nodded and conscientiously said, “Then I’ll go back by myself.”

“Your foot——”

 

 

Ye Jiuyue said, “It’s fine.”

Shen Weixing said, “Then call a taxi.” 

Ye Jiuyue nodded.
“Okay.”

 

Shen Weixing thought about it.
“Nevermind, wait for me a little, I won’t take too long over there.
In the afternoon, I’ll drive you back.”

Ye Jiuyue said, “There’s no need.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to accompany me and show your face.
Even if you were willing, I wouldn’t be.” Shen Weixing said, “I’ll first bring you to a room downstairs to rest awhile, you can take an afternoon nap.”

 

Ye Jiuyue sincerely said, “There’s really no need.”

“Then you do your homework, you’ve brought your backpack anyways.”

“There’s really no need.”

 

“It’s not a room that’s booked specifically for you, it was originally always booked.
If you don’t sleep there I would have spent money anyways.” Shen Weixing pulled him up without giving him a chance to argue.
“Let’s go, go, go.” 

Ye Jiuyue was speechlessly pushed by him to walk out of the room and along by him. 

　

 

Shen Weixing frequently came over here for filming, and was a little fussy about his living quarters, so he booked a guest room long-term.
The interior decor and furnishing had all been changed.
When Ye Jiuyue went in, he felt that it was pretty casual, the bed sheets and stuff were all not the same style as the hotel and were instead very like the style found in the apartment that Shen Weixing rented for Ye Jiuyue. 

Ye Jiuyue casually asked,  “Is your house also decorated in this sort of style?”

Ha.
Ha.
Already asking about my house, thinking about entering and making it your own! Impossible, don’t dream about it.
Shen Weixing coldly laughed as he thought, but replied out loud, “Basically.”

“En.”

Here it is again, who the hell knows what you’re ‘en’ing about.
Who knows, deep down you might be thinking of ways to seduce me, cling to me, deceive and captivate me, and then get me to take you home.
You might even take advantage of when I’m not paying attention and take a picture to use for showing off! I’ve already seen past you.
Shen Weixing coldly thought.  

“Do as you please, there’s nothing much that can’t be touched.
Don’t leave, I’ll come back in a short while.” Shen Weixing said before he went out. 

Ye Jiuyue looked around the room, then carried his backpack over to the desk. 

 

This hotel guest room’s decor was most likely changed by Shen Weixing; the table had been moved in front of the window, so there was plenty of light.
There were even a few books stacked on the table.
Ye Jiuyue picked one up and took a look, only to find that it was actually a prep book for the civil service exam, and a lot of the questions had been very seriously answered by someone. 

Shen Weixing wanted to take the civil service exam? 

He really has high goals, hmm.

Well, the main thing was that it would be cost-effective.
If he went out with Shen Weixing, then the hotel room would definitely be a single room.
Letting Shen Weixing pay for it would then be justified; it wouldn’t count as taking advantage because Shen Weixing staying by himself would have spent this money anyways. 

But as for the plane ticket and other personal expenses, Ye Jiuyue had to pay for them himself.  

That’s why he had to get the scholarship money. 

Temporarily setting this as a new goal, Ye Jiuyue delved into the sea of knowledge once again. 

 

　　 

Shen Weixing hurriedly went to meet up with Xia Qiu, and chatted with the two investors for a while. 

In actuality, these two investors weren’t planning on discussing business, and had purely come over just to take a look at things.
Director Gu naturally invited them out to eat; as for Xia Qiu, he’d been staying by Director Gu’s side the whole time, so he was invited along as well. 

But since Shen Weixing was there as well, the situation changed.

The two investors weren’t from the film industry themselves, but nowadays, the industry was popular; they had sponsored a few dramas and had profited, especially making big profits with series that had Shen Weixing in them.
That’s why they thought highly of Shen Weixing and even wanted to use Shen Weixing as a means to formally enter and get a finger in the pie that was the entertainment circle.

Gradually, the two dragged Shen Weixing off to chat about a new series.
Truthfully, there weren’t any plans either, it was just making big promises; promising to give Shen Weixing the position of production director, producer, etc, and they wanted to work with him.

 

It was popular to do things like this now.
Many famous actors would have their names listed as a member of the behind-the-scenes cast, it was a type of trend.

Shen Weixing didn’t have this sort of intention.
He viewed himself very objectively and felt that he didn’t have this sort of skill yet.
If it was just purely putting his name there, that would be one thing, but if they really wanted him to fiddle around, he wasn’t actually willing.
After all, it wasn’t as if his money fell from the sky either, that wasn’t even as good as just giving it to Ye Jiuyue. 

However, having been in showbiz for so long, Shen Weixing was pretty sly when facing the sponsors.
No matter if the other party were bigshots or not, whether what the other party was saying was reliable or not, and if he had any interest or not, in any case, he would speak out of both sides of his mouth and vaguely get past it.

It was just that once you ate a lot of these business meals, it really was very annoying. 

Shen Weixing felt that he would rather go back and be enraged by Ye Jiuyue; at least once he was done being angry, he could fuck Ye Jiuyue to get even. 

  

　　

 

“Not drinking any alcohol at all? Isn’t Shen Laoshi a pretty good drinker?” CEO Bing asked. 

Shen Weixing smiled.
“I have some stuff to do afterwards, and I didn’t bring an assistant, so I’ve gotta drive myself.” 

CEO Bing asked, “What is it? Just get a room and rest for a while.”

“They’re strict nowadays.” Shen Weixing said, “What if the alcohol wasn’t fully dissolved from my bloodstream and I got caught drinking and driving? Then tomorrow I’ll be in the headlines, and that would be just rotten.”

Everyone laughed and didn’t push it.

But CEO Bing asked again, “How come Shen Laoshi didn’t bring anyone along? Is it a private matter?” 

“Not quite, but I’m on a rare break, so I’m taking advantage of that to give my assistant a vacation.
Normally, if I don’t rest, they can’t rest either.” Shen Weixing said. 

　　

 

The group chatted for a while, then dispersed.
Shen Weixing rushed and wanted to get back to the room and be with Ye Jiuyue, but was called by Xia Qiu once again. 

“Shen Ge!”

Shen Weixing turned around and looked at him, “What?”

Xia Qiu asked, curious and concerned, “You’re really alright?”

Shen Weixing countered, finding it strange, “Why wouldn’t I be?” 

“Recently, it feels like you’re really busy, but you haven’t had any recent jobs, though? And you always let Xiao Tang off on a break, when I ask him what’s happening, he’s not willing to say anything.” Xia Qiu worriedly asked, “Is there something wrong? Although I might not be able to help you, don’t just keep it in by yourself, just talking about it is good too.”

“You over-thought it, aren’t I normally like this? When I’m resting, I often don’t show myself.” Shen Weixing said with a straight face.

Xia Qiu stuck his tongue out at him.
“But before, when you rested you just didn’t show yourself in front of the public, you wouldn’t disappear in private as well.
You aren’t even posting in the friend circle.”

I did, but I set the visibility to selected groups only.  

Having gotten an oddball as a sugar baby, Shen Weixing could only talk about that with a group of his shitty friends and the oddball himself. 

Yet the oddball himself never gave Shen Weixing any likes on his posts. 

Ha.
Ha.
Fake Fan. 

Or else it’s playing hard to get.
Ha.
Ha.  

 

 

Xia Qiu still wanted to say more, but Shen Weixing interrupted him, “Now you, on the other hand, if this happens again, don’t go with them.
Just now, didn’t they completely neglect to mention your new role? It’s actually all just excuses, to find people to accompany them for a meal.
Zhong Yi’s clearer than you on this, that’s why she didn’t come.
Me and your manager as well as the company will all help you with your new role.
The thing that you should be focusing on the most is doing well in your current role.
Although it’s a small production piece, if you act well, the audience and the industry insiders will see it. 

That vacation variety show’s ratings are also getting higher.
I’ve heard some things, if it keeps on rising, then it will very likely get a second season with all of the original cast.
Take some time out of your schedule to think of ways to make your persona more vivid and memorable to the audience.
If this current drama of yours starts streaming in time for the end of the variety TV show’s season one, then you will probably be able to trend for a small while.
You don’t need to worry about the issue of resources, when the time comes it’ll be you choosing them, not others choosing you.” 

Xia Qiu nodded.
“I’m not worried about the issue of resources.
It’s just that I don’t want to drag you down, and I don’t want you to be criticized by others because of me.
They all say that I’m only getting roles by always clinging onto you, it affects you negatively.”

Shen Weixing frowned.
“Just don’t mind the things you hear those antis say.
If you can’t let it go, then don’t listen, it’s not like they can get their words to appear in front of your eyes.
I told you not to look through those gossip forums.”

That’s what was said, but Shen Weixing liked to scroll through those things himself, and was often angered by what he saw. 

It wasn’t that Shen Weixing had a masochistic streak; he was doing it with a purpose.
When he saw that it really was his problem, then he would silently change and get better.
If it wasn’t his problem and they were just mindless antis, then he would curse right back at them in his mind.   

No matter if there was or wasn’t a person in this world that was born completely perfect, at least Shen Weixing felt that he wasn’t that sort of person. 

He didn’t deny his faults and refuse to change.
Instead, he believed that if there were truths to the criticisms others said about you, then you should change, and if there were none, then use them as encouragement to do better.
Then, he smilingly watched the mad dogs who’re toxic for the sake of being toxic.
Ha ha, there are always some people that are like that for their entire lives.
As long as he himself wasn’t that type of person, then it was alright.

 

But, this sort of method wasn’t suitable for Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu had grown up extremely sheltered; how could he stand those disparaging and harsh words? Shen Weixing had tried advising him a few times, then seeing that it had no effect, he didn’t do anything more.

Now, Xia Qiu was piteously muttering, “It’s not the social forums, it’s in the company…..” He hastily stopped himself from continuing, glanced at Shen Weixing, then said, flustered, “It’s nothing, I’ll remember what you said, it’ll be alright if I just go forward as if I didn’t hear anything.”

Shen Weixing frowned once again.
“The company? Who in the company is gossiping about you?” 

“There’s no one, though.” Xia Qiu said, faltering, “Really.”

“Tell the truth.”

Xia Qiu hesitated for a while, then said, “It’s my fault too, it’s true that it was you who brought me into the cast.
That role of Na Lai’s too, it’s true that I stole it.” 

“Na Lai?” Shen Weixing thought about it.
“That happened eight hundred years ago, and that character I gave you was a minor side character.
Wasn’t the role that he had deleted another character entirely? What does this have to do with you?” 

“They all said it’s because they added me that they deleted his character.” Xia Qiu said. 

“Are they stupid? Besides, he’s already steadily getting second male lead or understudy of the male lead roles now, would he still remember these things from back when you two first debuted? Why don’t I believe this at all?” As Shen Weixing said this, he pulled out his phone.
“I’ll go ask him.”

“Don’t!” Xia Qiu hurriedly stopped him.
“Shen Ge, do you want to kill me?”

“What the heck.
I’ve collaborated with Na Lai for a few dramas, his personality is pretty good, this there is probably someone trying to drive a wedge between you and him.” Shen Weixing continued searching for his phone.
“I’ll speak with him, I’m afraid that there’s someone on his side who’s speaking badly about you too.” 

Xia Qiu grabbed his hand in a viselike grip.
“Don’t! Don’t! I’m begging you.
I won’t believe in what others say, alright? If you do that, then when I see him in the future, it’ll be so awkward.
Wang Jie said that the company wants to use him to partner with me in a drama.
If you and Na Ge’s relationship is good, then even if others say bad stuff about me, Na Ge won’t believe it.” 

Shen Weixing hesitated for a short while, then falteringly said, “Oh, alright then.
Who said bad things about Na Lai to you?”

Xia Qiu shook his head.
“I’m not saying anymore, one should forgive when one may.”

“That person is already using such an underhanded move, so they wouldn’t be someone who can be forgiven.
Be more careful on your own.
Whoever told you these things, from now on, stay on guard against this person.
This sort of person can talk badly about you to others once you turn your back.” Shen Weixing advised him with concern. 

Xia Qiu nodded obediently. 

“Alright, then let’s just let it go at this.
You don’t have anything else, right?” Shen Weixing asked. 

 

Xia Qiu shook his head. 

Shen Weixing was in a hurry to leave, so he just said, “Then hurry up and go catch up with Director Gu to get back to the set.
Prepare well and perform well, I won’t accompany you further.” 

Xia Qiu nodded. 

Shen Weixing pressed the elevator floor button for him, and accompanied him till he went in, “You go down first, I’ll go back to my room.
I have some stuff to do.”
