Spare Tire is Gone – Chapter 33.2 – Old Classmate, Please. (R)

After all of his ridiculous past was revealed, Qi Cong digested it for a while and asked, “Then when did Jiang Zhaoyan and An Xiahe get together? “

“I don’t know about that either.” Shen Jia frowned. “They suddenly announced their engagement and I don’t even know when they met. I was recording a song in Beishi when I heard the news and thought you might take the news badly, so I drove over to see you. Cong, that’s all I know.”

After chatting with Shen Jia, Qi Cong leaned against the sofa and stayed still for a long time. Then he sat up and called Qi Yin.

It was already after ten o’clock at night but Qi Yin answered the phone only after a while with a sleepy voice. “Cong Cong, what’s wrong?”

An apology almost rolled from his mouth, but he slowly swallowed it. Qi Cong steadied his voice and said, “Mom, Jiang Zhaoyan is sponsoring Jia Jia’s TV series. I’m afraid he will affect Jia Jia’s work. Do you have anything that I can threaten Jiang Zhaoyan with? Anything will do. “

Qi Yin voice immediately became sober. “Jiang Zhaoyan found you again?”

“I met him today, as well as An Xiahe.”

After a few seconds of silence, Qi Yin’s voice that had turned heavy and cold came out. “Yes, there are many. Don’t be afraid, Cong Cong. Mom won’t let him bully you again. Don’t be afraid. “

Qi Cong felt like something was stuck in his throat. He raised his hand and pressed it to his eyes as he echoed, “Well, I’m not afraid.”

 

……

 

The next morning, Zhao Zhenxun brought Qi Cong two pieces of news; good news and bad news.

The good news was that Zhao Zhenxun helped Qi Cong secure a role in “Legend of Youth” and the bad news was that Jiang Zhaoyan had increased his sponsorship and also got An Xiahe into the crew.

Shen Jia almost spewed out the soy milk he had just drank. “An Xiahe is going to act?”

“He is not acting, he will be a consultant for the art direction group. The art director will be involved in the design and construction of the various scenes, which is also considered to be in line with the business An Xiahe does.”

Shen Jia still couldn’t understand. “But An Xiahe didn’t follow his father’s business and study design. He studied piano and even won awards abroad. What’s he trying to do now, trying to become an art director? Is he no longer a pianist? “

“He wants to trouble me.” Qi Cong put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue. “On the first day of the first year of junior high, I met him in some piano competition. I won first place, and he took second place. After that he always came to make trouble for me. Further on, when Sanmu and Amber first entered into a cooperation, we met at a dinner party with our parents. He got into an argument with me, and we had a fight. Later, when I transferred to your school, he was in the next class, but he soon transferred away. Before he transferred to another school, he brought a group of people to pick on me again, and I had another fight with him.”

Shen Jia was dumbfounded. “Brother Cong, you.… Why didn’t you tell me about this? So that injury you got when you first transferred over was caused by him?”

Zhao Zhenxun also looked Qi Cong up and down, as if he was getting to know Qi Cong all over again.

“You were in a bad state at that time, so I didn’t mention it.” Qi Cong replied, looking at Zhao Zhenxun “Brother Zhao, I will find an opportunity to talk with An Xiahe so that he doesn’t affect Jia Jia’s work.”

“It would also be best if he doesn’t interfere with your work.” Zhao Zhenxun instructed, “Talk to me if you have a problem and I’ll fix it.”

Qi Cong nodded.

The next day was the day of the opening ceremony of “Legend of the Youth,” so their group headed towards the filming location in Film and Television City after breakfast. On the way to the location, Zhao Zhenxun talked about Jiang Zhaoyan’s response to yesterday’s “elevator incident.”

Contrary to Qi Cong’s expectations, Jiang Zhaoyan didn’t go crazy when the producer asked about the past and actually helped cover it up. He told the producer that they didn’t have a quarrel, but that they were suddenly reunited after they disconnected and he became a little too emotional when he said hello.

Jiang Zhaoyan even politely asked the crew to take care of Qi Cong, because Qi Cong was in poor health.

Qi Cong frowned deeply.

Shen Jia said directly, “He is the one who’s in poor health. He should go see a psychiatrist!”

Zhao Zhenxun continued, “In addition, it was the second female lead, Xiao Xiu’s assistant, who told the director about yesterday.”

Xiao Xiu. Qi Cong had a slight impression of that person. He had seen the other party from afar at yesterday’s dinner. She was a beautiful young girl with baby fat on her face and was probably not even twenty yet.

“She’s new, and the assistant she brought in is also new. It’s said that her assistant was scolded by her agent and fired directly after he returned.” Zhao Zhenxun tapped the script in Shen Jia’s hand. “The crew has many people who work together. There are also bad and good actors to work with so you need to keep this point in mind.”

Shen Jia and Qi Cong nodded.

It wasn’t long before everyone arrived at the shooting location. The courtyard where the first scene was located, was already set up. The reporters were also very lively, so as soon as Shen Jia got out of the car, he was targeted by all kinds of cameras. He greeted the media with a smile and then went to meet with the director, producer and others.

Qi Cong walked behind Shen Jia and helped him with his things.

After entering the courtyard, Qi Cong finally saw several of the leading actors of “Legend of Youth” up close.

There were five main actors in “Legend of Youth”: the male lead Shen Jia, Peng Xing as male lead no.2, Qin Zhengjue as male lead no.3, Wang Yue as the female lead and Xiao Xiu as the second female lead.

Except for Xiao Xiu, who was a newcomer, all the other actors were popular actors and idols from the past two years. Among them, the second male lead, Peng Xing, was just like Shen Jia, an idol turned actor. He was older than Shen Jia and had a gentle and warm aura. Male lead no.3 was Qin Zhengjue, who was once a child star and has high recognition value but has never been very popular and looked tough. Female lead Wang Yue was a cold beauty who was already 27 years old, debuted for seven years but popular for four years. It was a pity that she still took part in idol dramas and couldn’t advance in her career.

When the cast members were lighting incense together, Qi Cong, who was standing at the back of the stage, was suddenly pressed on his shoulder. He tilted his head and faced An Xiahe.

An Xiahe maintained the posture of holding Qi Cong’s shoulder. Looking at the leading actors in front of them lighting incense, he said in a light and strange tone, “I hear you’re going to make your debut? Do you know that the role you’re going to play was originally scheduled to be played by Lian Pengxing? Shen Jia really pushed for you, and directly asked the investor to contact the producer to give that part over to you. Are you guys… together?” After asking that, he turned to look at Qi Cong.

Qi Cong pushed An Xiahe’s hand from his shoulder and gestured to the corner. “Talk?”

An Xiahe looked at his hand, glanced over Qi Cong’s face then smiled and nodded. “Why not, old classmate. Please.”
