Wang Chuyan looked at Fu Jinxiao very excitedly, hoping to get the favor of Actor Fu.
After Fu Jinxiao heard her reply, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little. He glanced at the woman lightly, and instead of handing her the flower as gently as the woman imagined, he said, "Ah I see. This 'love at first sight' you just speak of is that fickle. You can just change your target to anyone, right?"
Wang Chuyan's face turned pale.
When she looked at Actor Fu's smiling face again, he already used his acting prowess to appear as harmless as possible.
"No…" Wang Chuyan wanted to explain. "I didn't an that."
Fu Jinxiao raised an eyebrow, "Then what do you an? Too much of a good thing is not good, right1he implied that his "favor" is too good, hence it's not a good thing. He basically scared her off.. Do you agree with that statent?"
Wang Chuyan was stunned and had nothing to say, she lowered her head with reddened eyes, and ran away.
Shen Xingsui saw her escape in a flash with a confused expression. "Hey, you…"
Fu Jinxiao saw that he was still staring at her back, and raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you feel bad?"
Shen Xingsui was wronged again. He explained his aning, "No, I just think she is still a little girl, surely, she ant no harm, right? Probably only having a small crush or sothing like that?"
"If you feel sorry for her, then you are making a big mistake." Shen Xingchen popped out from behind to interject, "She doesn't really like you, she just wants your lapel flower as a symbol of your favor. Why? It's simple, she knows that you have a good resource and future prospect in the industry, and she wants a share of that pie. And if I'm not wrong…"
Fu Jinxiao completed Shen Xingchen's guest, "After a while, when other male artists with better prospect debuted, she will change her partner in a heartbeat."
Shen Xingchen snorted in amusent. "Yup. What he said. Fu-ge is wise."
Both of them were children who grew up in wealthy circles, and they were very familiar with these type of gold-diggers. This kind of people had been around since both n were young, and naturally, they had developed the ability to sll them from a mile away.
Shen Xingsui was educated and gradually understood.
The agent Wang ican saw both of her artists talking. She ca over and said, "The party here is over, you all go back quickly. Suisui and Teacher Fu can go back to the dressing room to remove your makeup, the makeup artists are waiting."
Shen Xingsui nodded.
Fu Jinxiao had already walked towards the dressing room first, followed by Shen Xingsui behind him.
When passing by the corridor and the back edge of the stage, many actors who had stepped off the stage were calling their families to report that they were safe. A big portion of them were happily chatting, so even shedding tears.
Shen Xingsui was fascinated.
A person was holding a pile of sundries coming from the corner in front, and the two of them almost bumped into each other head-on. But fortunately, Fu Jinxiao stopped him with quick eyes and hands, which prevented the accident from happening.
Shen Xingsui exclaid, a little startled.
Fu Jinxiao glanced at him indifferently, "Pay attention."
Shen Xingsui nodded quickly. "Thank you.
"You see a girl you like to give your lapel flower?"
Shen Xingsui blushed, "How could that be!"
"No, I'm… quite moved to see that everyone seems to be busy packing up and going ho." Shen Xingsui smiled lightly and said. " At this ti last year, Anran's identity was just found out, and everyone in the family went to find Anran. Since that ans I'm no longer related to the Jian family biologically… they left behind."
Fu Jinxiao's eyes darkened.
This seed to be the first ti that Shen Xingsui had taken the initiative to tell him sothing about the past.
Fu Jinxiao asked, "You live alone, then?"
Shen Xingsui nodded in response, "Yeah."
"The Jian family is always very busy, and we seldom get together. I rember last year when there's a firework display for a festival, and I wanted to watch it with them. But no one ca, so I don't go there in the end."
"I… I thought that, m-maybe everyone didn't leave alone at ho on purpose. But, they looked a lot happier when they learned about Anran's existence, so…" Shen Xingsui lowered his voice as he spoke, and finally showed a sowhat stiff smile, "It was only later that I realized… ah, so I was just deceiving myself. I shouldn't be that blind to see their distaste for . I should have known it… for a long ti ago."
Fu Jinxiao pushed open the door of the dressing room and walked in. The man swaggered, sat down on the chair, and said, "In this world, any decision made by everyone is the sum of their experience. Especially the decision you made spontaneously. But what happened in the past… it happens. Nothing you can do about that."
Shen Xingsui wasn't sure what to think of that.
Fu Jinxiao smiled at him and said, "I didn't say it was sothing you can or cannot control."
Although these words were a bit heartless, they were true.
Shen Xingsui didn't feel sad anymore, he just gave out a wry smile and said. "Well, you are right, people have to look forward. And I think I have been very lucky this year. I have a very good family, and a teacher who takes good care of . These are enough to make feel satisfied."
The makeup artist started to remove Fu Jinxiao's makeup.
Both the artist and Shen Xingsui didn't expect that Actor Fu still had sothing else to say, "Actually, strictly speaking, I take care of you this well… not because you are my student."
This sentence was full of hidden aning, and yet, very frank.
The make-up artist's hands trembled, 'Actor Fu, Actor Fu, you actually are very honest!'
On such a night of the Spring Festival Gala, he actually said it so bluntly, and he spoke clearly to another young man!
Shen Xingsui's eyes also widened slightly, and he was obviously a little shocked. The youth pondered for a while, and then said, "I know."
This ti Fu Jinxiao was the surprised party.
But he suspected that Shen Xingsui actually didn't know what he ant, so he tentatively said, "So you don't have to treat as a teacher all the ti. Based on our friendship, you and I have changed our status and relationship, so there is no need to be so restrained with , understand? "
Shen Xingsui said bluntly, "I understand."
'It turned out that he really understood?'
A smile appeared on the corner of Actor Fu's mouth, but it was a pity that the smile didn't last long, because the youth beside him excitedly added, "Then are we already friends?"
"…" The room was quiet for a mont .
However, Shen Xingsui looked like he had found a treasure – he was very happy, his eyes outrightly had a sparkle inside. "Ah, ah… you really are a good person!"
"…" A faint smile appeared on Fu Jinxiao's face, but he didn't answer verbally.
The makeup artist tried her best to hold back her laugh. But a snicker managed to escape despite her efforts.
Fu Jinxiao then gave her a cool look, "Is it so funny?"
"No," The makeup artist suppressed a smile and said, "I want to applaud the great friendship between you two."
Shen Xingsui looked at her and was very touched. The youth didn't expect her to be so nice to him, so he looked at her gratefully and said sincerely, "Thank you."
The makeup artist snickered again and said, "You're welco."
Fu Jinxiao gave her another warning look, "Again, is there sothing so funny? If you want to laugh, you can do it outside."
The makeup artist finally felt Actor Fu's sadness, she didn't dare to laugh anymore. Plus, she was afraid of being stabbed by the actor, so she lowered her head obediently and said, "I'm sorry, Fu-ge, I was wrong."
Fu Jinxiao let her go.
Shen Xingsui didn't know what was wrong, nor could he interpret what kind of riddles they were talking about.
After the two of them finished removing their makeup, Wang ican also dealt with things outside and ca back. "Tonight, I will send this year's red envelopes and gift boxes to various dia and studios in your na. Do you want to decide the amount?"
Every year, large studios would give red envelopes to the dia and friends on such important festivals for social etiquette.
Fu Jinxiao said casually, "The gift box is the sa as last year. Everyone has worked hard this year. Let's pack a little more red envelopes and go back to have a good year. Also, I heard that the executive agent is going to get married next year. Help pick two cars and send them in my stead. She's going to need a dowry, right? With this, I hope she will not resign despite her new marriage."
He was always generous, and with a few simple words, this year's year-end benefits were doubled.
There was a burst of cheers in the small dressing room, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces. This was also the reason why many people followed Fu Jinxiao wholeheartedly. He was very generous to his staff.
Shen Xingsui was confused about this, however.
Wang ican smiled and patted him. "Don't worry, your public relations gifts and such were already ordered alongside Fu Jinxiao's. He's the one who helped you manage this. If you want to thank soone, then thank him"
Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao in surprise.
"You're welco." Fu Jinxiao was holding a black phone in his hand, and the ending of his words was drawn out, "After all, I'm a good person, aren't I?"
Wang ican was taken aback. She needed context. "Ah?"
Although Shen Xingsui felt as if he ant sothing else, he still sincerely said, "Thank you, Teacher Fu! I, uh… actually, I also prepared a gift for you!"
Fu Jinxiao was surprised, "Really?"
Shen Xingsui nodded heavily, but said again: "But I didn't bring it with tonight."
"…"
There was a mont of silence in the room.
Wang ican comforted him and said, "I've done all this for you, don't worry, you're still too young to know this instantly. It's normal for you to not know these rules. As your agent, I'm the one who needs to take care of this anyways. All you need to do now is work hard and enjoy your New Year. Hey, you're still 21 years old too, right? Go back and wait to receive red envelopes from other elders!"
Shen Xingsui was very grateful.
In the dressing room, Wang ican began to give out red envelopes to other staff mbers, while Shen Xingsui watched from the side.
Who knew that there was a voice next to him, calling him, "Suisui."
Shen Xingsui looked back suspiciously, and saw Fu Jinxiao who was sitting next to him beckoning to him, "Co here."
Shen Xingsui hurried over obediently, "Fu-ge."
Fu Jinxiao took out a small red envelope from sowhere and gave it to him. He put the envelope on Shen Xingsui's hand with a smile. "Happy New Year."
Shen Xingsui never thought that he would receive a red envelope from his idol! The size was bigger than usual, and it was… strangely soft, yet heavy, but it was a red envelope nonetheless!
He was a little excited and happy, and said hesitantly, "Thank you, Teacher Fu! But, but will this be a bit expensive? I can't take your money."
Fu Jinxiao saw that he was always too sensible, and said slowly, "Everyone got this. Whether or not it's expensive or not, it's not sothing that you, as the receiver, need to be concerned about. Plus, I don't want to let you be left behind."
This was the first ti he heard soone tell him that because other people have it, he should get it too.
In the Jian family, there were three sons, but Jian Kuo has a different attitude for the three of them. Both Jian Gu and Jian Zhi were excellent, so he gave them a shower of affections and gifts. But for him… Jian Kuo would instead say:
"Why don't you learn from your brothers?"
"If you are so good, I will definitely buy it for you."
But Fu Jinxiao and the Shen family… didn't care about that. Their gifts were unconditional.
Shen Xingsui's heart was burning hot, and his eyes were even a little red. He choked back a stray sob and thanked Fu Jinxiao again.
Seeing him happy tonight, Fu Jinxiao also smiled. Before he could say sothing, Shen Xingsui continued, "You are really kind. It is my luck to et you. I sincerely pray that we can be friends forever."
"…"
'No, no, no, no. Being "friends" forever is unnecessary!'
