Chapter 24 - Cliff
Unfortunately, Da Kes heart collapsed but he failed to stop Li Zhaos selfie. He despairing looked over and barely maintained a polite smile. Zhao Zhaos foundation is so good that any photo shot would be beautiful.
Li Zhaos facial features were good plus his skin was in great shape. The angle of this selfie was bad but it was still good-looking. Fans saw this selfie with no filters or photoshop, even the angle was very casual, and guessed this was taken by Li Zhao himself.
My baby is really a born beauty. He looks so good despite the terrible selfie angle. I can, I really can.
There is no double chin at this angle. Husband, for you, I am willing to eat less rice.
Zhang Xiaoyuan, come out to die. Why havent you taught the baby to take a selfie?
Surely Zhang Xiaoyuan didnt deliberately let the baby shoot like this so that we will no longer like Baby. Then he will take Baby home to open a noodle restaurant?
Zhang Xiaoyuan, you heartless dog!
Zhang Xiaoyuan, forget it. Even if my Baby takes a selfie where his face is turned into a pumpkin, I will continue to like him. Please roll out of the entertainment industry alone.
The excitement of the entertainment industry had no effect on those who didnt follow celebrities. Special a.s.sistant Qin had half a day of leave to help his family. Once he returned to the company, the atmosphere of the a.s.sistant department was a bit strange.
Boss. The a.s.sistant took out a bag of something with colourful wrapping. Do you want to have one?
Special a.s.sistant Qin looked stunned. Why did this look the same as the gift Li Zhao had given him?
Corporate benefits? Special a.s.sistant Qin asked. He wondered when the company had arranged such benefits.
It seems you dont know. The a.s.sistant lowered his voice. This morning, the boss bodyguard brought it. It is said to be a gift from the boss friend.
Since it was given by the boss friend, you should keep it safe. Special a.s.sistant Qin stated. This heart is too rare.
Right? The boss friend is very kind. He went out to play and brought something back for us.
This type of natural food is good for the body when eaten. The boss friend must be a person with good taste.
Everyone rushed to give praise. They mightve never seen or heard of the big boss friend before but since the boss specifically arranged for the bodyguard to bring things over, it indicated that the friend had a great status in the boss mind. Thus, it was right to give praise.
As the a.s.sistants of Yan Tings company were frantically praising Li Zhao, Zhang Xiaoyuan was looking at Weibo and found that he was being scolded again. He didnt do anything.
Are you being scolded? Luo Rong handed the planning book to Zhang Xiaoyuan before taking a drink from the refrigerator. He threw it at Zhang Xiaoyuan with the mentality of comforting the other person. As a mature agent, you should learn to endure scoldings. The more popular an artist, the more the agent will be scolded. If you cant endure it, just think about the money in your bank card and youll let it go.
Thank you. Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly. Im not angry. I just have a psychological shadow regarding the words open a noodle store.
Today, I came to find you to discuss Zhao Zhaos development route. Luo Rong watched Zhang Xiaoyuans face.I think you can see that the company wants to focus on developing Zhao Zhao.
Zhang Xiaoyuan took a sip and placed the drink on the table. Brother Luo, I might be known as Zhao Zhaos agent but he is the child I grew up watching. I personally hope that when the company arranges Zhao Zhaos development route, it can respect Zhao Zhaos personal choices as much as possible.
Please rest a.s.sured that the company wont discourage Zhao Zhao. Luo Rong had several first-tier artists under his hands. Thus, once the company arranged for him to work as an executive person for a new person, he thought that Li Zhao was a senior person of the company.
However, through his observation of Li Zhao and Zhang Xiaoyuan, neither of them seemed to have a high background. Was it really that Li Zhaos ability was so valued by senior management that they arranged for him to come here?
Zhao Zhaos facial features are outstanding and appealing to viewers. This is conducive to building a fan base for him. Luo Rong folded his arms over his chest. However, this isnt enough. As an artist, he needs a better sense of the lends, fas.h.i.+on sense and expression management. I have decided to arrange teachers for him in these regards. Do you have any comments?
Zhang Xiaoyuan wasnt a fool. He knew that these arrangements were really good for Li Zhao. Previously, they had no money and contacts. Even if he wanted to ask teachers to teach Zhao Zhao, he couldnt contact any professional teachers. Now that Strawberry Entertainment took the initiative to mention these things, he happily agreed.
Mr Ting, Li Zhao is a rare good actor. The company has arranged teachers to give lessons to him while he is in the crew and he has made rapid progress. Every teacher praises his talent. The president of Strawberry Entertainment took the initiative to call Yan Ting and talk about the companys arrangements for Li Zhao. Yan Ting responded casually.
Once President Sun hung up, his a.s.sistant Cao Jia wondered, Boss, Mr Tings att.i.tude is so cold and he doesnt seem to value Li Zhao very much. Did we get it wrong? Perhaps Mr Tings a.s.sistant really did just talk casually.
You are still very young. President Sun smiled and drank from his teacup. It is usually very difficult to talk to a person like Yan Ting on the phone. Yet today, he listened to me for so long. Doesnt this show how much he values Li Zhao?
Our Strawberry Entertainment has so many big names yet Yan Ting didnt mention them, only Li Zhao. If this isnt considered as special then what is special? President Sun gave a mysterious smile. What did Yan Ting say when he mentioned Li Zhao to me?
What did he say?
Li Zhao, that child. President Sun explained. A 20 year old boy is called a child by Yan Ting. This isnt a normal statement.
There are so many ways. Cao Jia suddenly smiled. President Sun, you are so strong. I couldnt hear so many meanings from his words.
Okay, you heard these words but dont spread them. President Sun looked seriously. Im afraid that Mr Ting will come to our company to find trouble for his child.
Ting Ting! After a day of shooting and one hour of etiquette cla.s.ses, Li Zhao lay on the bed after taking a bath.
On the phone screen, the silhouette of Yan Ting working could be seen. Hearing Li Zhao call for him, Yan Ting stopped tapping on the keyboard and looked over. Hmm?
Im dying. Li Zhao held a pillow and lay weakly. I didnt expect you to be working so late. You are still working overtime at night.
You dont want to shoot?
Thats not it, Li Zhao said. At first, I just wanted to make money. Then I thought about how people like my role and became very happy.
Actually Li Zhao lowered his voice and put his face in front of the phone screen. I have a small idea in my heart.
What is it?
I dont seem to have told you. Do you know that I grew up in an orphanage? Li Zhao scratched his head with a bit of embarra.s.sment.
Yan Ting gazed at Li Zhao and opened his mouth after a long time. No.
That doesnt matter. Li Zhao s.h.i.+fted the topic. Ill say the important thing.
Do you think my real parents will see me on TV? Li Zhaos hair was still wet and he looked very good as he lay on the bed. I was very good as a child. No one taught me after school but I still got first place in my cla.s.s.
I used to think that my parents accidentally lost me and have been looking for me all these years. I might look like my parents or I might look like my grandparents. Perhaps when they see me on TV, they will lament that their lost child shouldve grown up to be as handsome as this boy on TV.
Li Zhao spoke these words and laughed. In any case, anything is possible.
Yan Ting was silent as he watched the happily laughing child on the screen. He wondered if Li Zhao had thought that perhaps his parents never looked for him, perhaps his birth wasnt expected so he was abandoned by his parents.
However, Yan Ting couldnt say this in front of the bright smile. They will be proud of you.
Thats not true. Li Zhao yawned. Ting Ting, Ill go to bed first. Ill talk to you tomorrow. After this, he pulled the quilt over his body and lay down sleepily, not even disconnecting the video.
Li Zhao, Zhao Zhao? Yan Ting looked at the sleeping child and reached out to disconnect the video. Then once his eyes fell on the other persons soft hair, he stopped his movements.
Perhaps it was because the child was sleeping so soundly that Yan Ting felt a rare sleepiness. He held his mobile phone in his hand and left the study. Yan Ting put it on his bedroom cabinet, turned around to take out another phone and called Special a.s.sistant Qin.
How has the lost childrens gene bank project been in recent years?
Special a.s.sistant Qin was surprised when he received the phone call. The boss usually had no interest in anything, like he wasnt born with the most basic feelings. The left and death of others had never been able to impress the boss.
The progress is limited due to limited funding.
I will provide financial a.s.sistance in a private capacity. Yan Ting went to the window and looked out into the darkness. Arrange it as soon as possible.
Okay, Sir. Special a.s.sistant Qin hung up and excitedly called Dr Sun, his tone high. Dr Sun, the boss has taken the initiative to help others! Is this a sign that his condition is improving?!
Dr Sun spoke calmly, Mr Qin, dont get excited. First, we need to find out whether Mr Tings behaviour is due to compa.s.sion or if it is to help a specific person.
Whats the difference? Special a.s.sistant Qin didnt understand. Even if it was for a specific person, it was a good thing.
Who can guarantee that this specific person will stay with Mr Ting for the rest of his life? Dr Sun sighed. For a person who has no desire to live, the most terrible thing is when he decides to live well only for the person keeping him alive to leave him.
it is like pus.h.i.+ng a man who is standing on the edge of a cliff, ensuring he will never live again.
Special a.s.sistant Qins face was white with fright. Then should I find a way to keep that person away?
Dr Sun shook his head. Mr Qin, even if Mr Ting is ill, we shouldnt affect his right to make friends. It isnt fair to his friend or Mr Ting.
I see. After a moment of contemplation, Special a.s.sistant Qin could only nod helplessly. How good would it be if that person could pull the boss away from the edge of the cliff?

Zhao Zhao: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, where is my friend?
Baby Ting raised his hand: Here!
