Chapter 112 - You're The One Pursuing That Young Girl?

“It’s written pretty well, interesting and imaginative.” Shi Sui commented with a sparkle in his eyes.

The most famous agent in the industry inhaled deeply and exhaled repeatedly before finally clenching his teeth and asking, “What the hell are you thinking? Are you just playing around, or are you for real? I need to know, so I can arrange your next project.”

Innocently, Shi Sui said, “That will depend on her.”

Si Chuanbai: ???

The man lost his usual calm demeanor and took off his glasses. “So the netizen’s speculations are real? You’re pursuing the young girl?”

“Not pursuing.”

Si Chuanbai sighed in relief.

But the next second, he heard Shi Sui say with a lazy tone, “It’s not the time yet.”

Si Chuanbai felt his heart stop for a moment, feeling a sudden urge to take a gulp of Jinxin oral liquid*.

“You must be familiar with her reputation in the industry; but if you are insistent, I have nothing more to say.” Si Chuanbai grinded his teeth and exhorted like an old father. “Make sure to take appropriate measures, unless you plan to attend a certain daddy and child show in three years.”

Shi Sui feigned a smile, its meaning unclear.

Si Chuanbai knew that Shi Sui always had his own opinion, so once his mind was set, nobody else could change it.

“As long as you know your boundaries. Next let’s discuss next month’s itinerary…”

Si Chuanbai was nimble and professional, and in thirty minutes, they had solved all their tasks.

“OK, I’m going to head off now. Call if you need anything.” Si Chuanbai’s expression was stiff as he worked in a professional manner.

Shi Sui filled another bowl of rice noodles for himself and looked up. “You really don’t want to have a bowl before you go?”

Si Chuanbai said condescendingly, “I’m not interested in Chinese-style breakfast.”

In truth, he could have finalized all his work with Shi Sui over the phone. He had only come in person to see Xiang Yi with his own eyes…

Sure enough, it was just as the netizens say.

She didn’t even fill Shi Sui’s bowl with rice noodles for him!

If that was all, it would have been okay; but Shi Sui actually took the initiative to pour water for her, even going as far to ask her in a well-mannered way before pouring if she wanted it hot or lukewarm.

Si Chuanbai felt his heart become tight.

His eyes fell on Xiang Yi, who was busy packing small dishes and fruits while chattering with that colorful feather duster. “Do you want some numb and spicy beef? I have them vacuum-sealed so they can be kept for a long time. There’s also pickled radishes and cabbage, I’ll pack a bit more for you?”

“Darling, that’s more than enough.”

Ah Nan glanced at Si Chuanbai with a guilty conscience. The man’s hair was combed back and greased with shiny wax. Ah Nan could tell his watch and cufflinks were expensive from the first glance, and his shoes were polished to an incredible brightness. His black briefcase seemed ordinary, but it was actually a custom piece from a very big name brand…

While here he was, wearing a 39.9 RMB-floral print shirt from Taobao and a 20 RMB-pair of loose shorts from a night market stall. The most expensive piece he was wearing was his 100 RMB-shoes from Adidas…

Ah Nan felt so embarrassed that he couldn’t even lift his head. His attire would normally be quite passable, but today he was on vacation and he had really let himself go, dressing like this and leeching breakfast at Xiang Yi’s home. Who knew he would run into Si Chuanbai…

Without comparison, there is no harm o(╥﹏╥)o

“Here, it’s packed well. It should last you a long time.” Xiang Yi wrapped the bentos stacked half a meter high in a floral print cloth.

Ah Nan was moved. “Oh, oh honey, you are so kind. I will work hard once I return, and continue finding profitable endorsement opportunities for you! The most chill ones, too!”

Si Chuanbai: “…”

There’s no issue here.

It was just too real.

Before he left, Si Chuanbai glanced at the packages in Ah Nan’s arms and felt inexplicably…

Envious.
