On the highway from Star City to Hengdian.
Fan Ye called for a video chat.
“What are you up to, you little brat? When are you heading to Hengdian? The director is pushing for it; the opening ceremony is tomorrow.”
“I’m already on the highway, sis… ah no… daughter~”
“Hmph, finally know what it means to be a little person getting ahead, seizing every opportunity to take advantage of me. You really are something.”
“No choice, a bet is a bet, call me daddy~”
“Fine, you’ve got guts. Mom still has twenty days until wrapping up, and the moment I finish, I’ll fly to Hengdian and beat you up!”
“How are you going to do that?”
“Get lost!”
“Stop wasting time, hurry up and call me daddy. We agreed for a month, and for this month, I’m your daddy.”
“Damn… I shouldn’t have bothered to video call you… fine, fine, fine… I’ll let you enjoy it before you get beaten to death… daddy……”
“Hey~, my daughter is so obedient. I just asked your assistant for the address, and I’m sending you some gifts.”
“Oh, you even know to send gifts to your godmother. You still have a conscience, huh? What gifts are you sending?”
“Wahaha~”
“What the hell, what is it?”
“I won’t tell you, you’ll find out in a couple of days.”
“Fine, whatever, I can’t be bothered to ask. You’ve really hit the jackpot on this variety show journey. First, you participated in 'Running Man' and won two BMW X3s, then got a 1 million yuan bonus from Zhejiang TV.
Then you participated in 'Singer' and sold five songs, earning 15.7 million, plus a 1.5 million yuan bonus from Mango TV, totaling over 18 million before tax + two cars!”
“It’s only 18 million, is that a lot?”
“What the hell! Only 18 million? You’re really full of it. In the entertainment industry, income is polarized. Those who can earn tens of millions a year have surpassed 99.99% of artists, and you earned 18 million in just eight days. You’ll make other artists envious to death!”
“It’s just a drizzle~. Do you believe me? In three years at most, daddy can take down the entertainment giant Huayi Brothers.”
“Oh my goodness, you’re just talking big. Do you know how much Huayi is worth? Almost 90 billion right now!
I’ll give you ten years, and if you can create an entertainment company worth 10 billion, then you’re impressive. But don’t daydream; just follow your godmother and you’ll shine bright in your career~”
“If you don’t believe it, go to hell. I’m not talking to you anymore; I’m driving.”
“Alright, drive safely. I’ll visit you in Hengdian after I finish filming.”
“Don’t come; daddy is very busy.”
“I’m definitely going! I’ll beat you up, you little brat!”
Video call ended.
Fang Yuan slammed the gas pedal.
Speeding up to 130 km/h.
Following the navigation to turn onto the Hukun Expressway.
Stopped at a service area midway.
Na Zha called for a video chat again.
“Honey, have you arrived at Hengdian? Why did you ask me for the address at noon? You didn’t say anything when I asked you.”
“Look at you, so anxious. You’ll know when you get there; what’s the point of saying it now?”
“Hmph, you’re really keeping me in suspense. Where are you? It looks like… a service area?”
“Yeah, just stopping to relieve myself and refuel.”
“You seem really busy these days. I call you on video fifteen times a day, and you’ve hung up on me at least eight times.”
“These days I’ve been busy selling songs and recording. Do you still want to be the boss lady of an entertainment group? Do you still want to be the one who makes Fan Ye, Yang Mi, Reba, Liu Yifei, and International Zhang bow down to you?”
“Hahaha… I want to, I want to…”
“If you want to, be good. Let me give you a heads-up: when I get to Hengdian, I’ll be filming every day, so I’ll definitely be busier, and you might not be able to reach me often.”
“I understand, I’ll just call you less often. How about thirteen times a day?”
“……”
“Then twelve times, the absolute minimum is ten times, can’t be less than that. Once in the morning, once for breakfast, and once during filming breaks…”
“Baby, when I’m on a filming break, I might be busy.”
“Emmm… then it depends on the situation~. Anyway, you’re not allowed to turn off your phone; reply to me as soon as you see it~”
“Do you really like me that much? Can’t get enough of me?”
“Hehe~”
“Alright, I’m setting off now. You hurry up and film.”
“Mhm, honey, drive carefully. Kiss you~”
“Mu——”
Fang Yuan turned off his phone.
Just as he was about to start driving.
The video call notification rang again.
Baby?
Damn, you three didn’t plan this, did you?
“Hey, hello, Baby Jie~”
“Scumbag, when you sleep with me, you call me Little Sweetheart, and after you’re done, you call me Baby Jie.”
“Oh, oh, oh, look at that resentful little look.”
“I heard from my assistant that you asked for my address. What’s up? Coming to visit? Want to give me a surprise?”
“You’re thinking too much. I’m on my way to Hengdian; I asked for your address to send you a gift.”
“What gift?”
“My model, made of silicone.”
“Get lost, shameless! I heard you’ve been flirting with girls at Mango TV?”
What the hell!
“Who… did you hear that from?”
“Zhang Bichen?”
What the hell, what the hell, what the hell!
Who leaked the news??
Na Jie??
“You actually hesitated! So it’s true??”
Baby was just trying to tease him.
Fang Yuan finally understood that Baby was fishing for information: “There’s nothing going on; I’m a good person.”
“You’re a jerk! A little jerk who flirts with girls everywhere!”
“I’m not going to argue with you anymore; I need to drive.”
“Go ahead, go ahead. I’ll visit your set later~”
“So blatant? Aren’t you afraid Xiao Ming will find out?”
“Not afraid, I’m planning to confront him. I’ll just say you slept with his wife~”
“Hiss……”
“Ha~, just wait for him to come to Hengdian to beat you up~. Bye~”
