Chapter 235: Entertainment Has No Circle

“Where’s Fan? Did he leave?”

Bai Zhi and Su Qing Cen met up at Bai Zhi’s home after finding out that Su Qing Cen and Meng Fan had ran into the beaten fan on the road back. This kind of incident was an emotional subject for the girls.

“Yeah, he said he had to go back, so I sent a driver to take him back to Hangzhou to spare him running into more paparazzi on the train.”

After the MV film shoot ended, their small vacation came to an end as well. Tomorrow, Su Qing Cen would have to resume her normal procedures, though she had canceled all her arrangements for tonight. Tonight, she would laze around in Bai Zhi’s home.

“Sister Bai, your pajamas are too excessive, aren’t they? And underwear too! I feel like I’m bursting from them!”

“There’s so many granny PJ’s there, why did you pick that one?! Bursting out? Who are you trying to impress?!”

“I want to flaunt it, okay?! But it’s a bit empty up here and I can’t compare to you!”

The relaxed Su Qing Cen was much more playful as she happily shook her bottom at Bai Zhi. She then waddled over to the home theatre.

“Do you have that movie I told you about last time?”

“Yes.”

Bai Zhi inexplicably thought of the day she was at Meng Cai Wei’s home when she had left her undergarments in the bathroom when he coincidentally entered the shower afterward. She didn’t know if he’d seen anything or not, nonetheless, what he’d been thinking.

Sigh.

Bai Zhi suddenly felt the untimeliness. Meng Fan’s personality, as well as his increasingly muscular body, were all her type. Unfortunately, he was too young! And she wasn’t into that kind of relationship either.

She sighed and followed Su Qing Cen to play a popular movie. Thinking about it, she hadn’t seen it before either.

There were several movies she wanted to see, but she didn’t have many chances to go watch them in theatres. Hence, she renovated one of her bedrooms into a home theatre. It was constructed to a high standard, and its effects were better than that of most ordinary theatres.

“I forgot to pay him for filming the MV.” Bai Zhi suddenly remembered. She asked Su Qing Cen how much she had paid him last time to make sure it wasn’t too much or too little, then transferred 500,000 HXB to Meng Fan.

“Oh right, did you ask the crew for your voice acting show?” Su Qing Cen asked curiously.

Bai Zhi shook her head. “It’s been so hectic lately, I haven’t had time. I’m going to explore the territory first, and if they are interested, I’ll ask Meng Fan. I think Mango is very likely to agree, but Meng Fan will be very unlikely.”

Su Qing Cen was suspicious. It was one more thing that added to her confusion. “Sister bai, do you think this guy wants to become a celebrity or not?”

Bai Zhi was stumped by the question. She thought about it for a long time, then exclaimed. “I really don’t know. For him? If he wanted to be famous, he has plenty of opportunities. He’s received so many invites from TV shows, yet he even turned down David’s Las Vegas talent show. Like this afternoon too, theoretically, it was a great opportunity to break into the entertainment industry if he wanted to debut. But you can’t say he’s not seeking fame either as he keeps doing things for the sake of popularity and fame; especially his stream.”

Su Qing Cen thought about it. “Maybe he really wants to be famous, but we’ve been too narrow-minded regarding the process, and are only pushing him to become famous through the entertainment circle.”

Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up. “That actually makes sense. If we ignore the factor of blowing up in the entertainment circle, the issue would be much simpler.” She slapped her thigh and began to laugh. “Cai Wei used to always say that she wasn’t part of the entertainment industry and that she was no celebrity. She’s always maintained that she’s an actress. Maybe the two siblings have the same outlook towards this.”

Su Qing Cen strongly agreed. She then sighed. “There’s no circle in entertainment, but there is a circle in the entertainment circle. The circle can’t trap actresses, only celebrities!”

“Oh stop sucking up, you know you’re right already, pay attention, pay attention to the movie!”

“Ah, humans. We all ask for what we can’t have!”

…

“This much?”

Meng Fan was already on the road when he received Bai Zhi’s transfer.

“It’s the same amount as your Shan Jin bro paid you, plus you also guest appeared during my concert, didn’t you? Besides, you still owe me some sand art performances, so I won’t be paying you from now on!”

“Alright, I’ll take it then.”

“Since you’ve behaved so well, big sister will give you a surplus; you can have the photo too hahaha!”

Shortly after, Meng Fan received a photo in his WeChat. He took a look. Respect!

He then secretly put away this photo of Su Qing Cen lounging in excessive sleepwear that Bai Zhi had taken, in the same folder as the photo his sister had sent previously.

Fake fan? No. He was a legitimate leg Fan!

At around 9:00 pm, Meng Fan arrived near the school and bought his driver dinner before allowing him to go back.

Meng Fan didn’t return to school though. It wasn’t a good time.

Zhang Zhou Wei and the others had already began spamming him with messages regarding Meng Fan’s violence towards the K-pop star. Everyone in the academy naturally knew of this news, and even before the truth came out, Zhang Zhou Wei and the others had already spread the news on campus that Meng Fan had done it for a reason. To be honest, their actions made Meng Fan a bit emotional.

Once the truth was revealed, Zhang Zhou Wei informed him that journalists had found them at their dorm, but had been kicked out very quickly and efficiently by the school. After all, the academy was a place of learning. There was no way they were going to let a hoard of paparazzi in.

If Meng Fan returned back to school, he would be blocked at the door; unless he wore his hat.

Then again, he had to wear his hat regardless, as there were also journalists blocking his neighborhood entrance. It seems the journalists had their sources.

But ideally, this kind of incident should blow over in a day or two.

Once he took off his cap after arriving home, a message from Wu Tong came.

“Home?”

Meng Fan was puzzled for a moment. What a coincidence!

“How did you know?”

“Just guessing.” Wu Tong sent a playful emoji. “How’s everything, are you being overrun by journalists?”

“I actually almost got blocked.”

Meng Fan chatted with Wu Tong, went to shower, and continued chatting. As they conversed, he naturally began working on his manga and concluded their conversation.

The next morning, he woke up and habitually went on his run. Fortunately, his commotion wasn’t big news, and there were no paparazzi squatting in a bush waiting for him.

He exited the community and headed for the Xizi lake scenic area. On his way back, the amount of pedestrians began increasing.

“Aren’t you the iron hero who hit that K-pop idol?”

“Wow! It’s really the iron hero, you’re up running so early! No wonder you’re so strong!”

“Can I take a photo with you? I really like your…fighting skills!”

Meng Fan recognized the influence of this beating incident. If it had been before, even after the 11/11 broadcast, only students from the academy would acknowledge him, while pedestrians would just walk by. This time, he was recognized at least a dozen times during his run.

Jogging back to the neighborhood, Meng Fan could see director Charlie on the ground floor of his unit doing his morning calisthenics. It was evident that Charlie didn’t exercise much.

Seeing Meng Fan, Charlie approached.

“I knew I would find you here if I waited. You actually run this early in the morning.” Charlie was still stretching. The temperature was low, and you’d get cold if you don’t stretch. “Are you heading to the studio this morning?”

After scheduling a time, Charlie took Meng Fan with him to the cultural park. On the way, he began telling Meng Fan of the roles he’d prepared for him from the animation, “Nine Days”. They weren’t small roles either. He’d saved him the male lead!
