Chapter 9: Encounter with a scout
"Qin Qi!"
"shut up!"
The two elders roared in unison.
Qin Hehai raised his hand and slapped Qin Qi directly on the face.
Qin Qi's face was tilted to one side after being hit. He maintained this position, as if he had been awakened by the blow. His eyes were staring at the floor, as if he wanted to stare a hole through it.
Shen Jun was so angry that his face turned pale. Seeing tears in Kong Nanzhu's eyes, he quickly explained: "Nannan, don't listen to his nonsense. Your father Qin and I have always treated you as our own daughter. You..."
"Mom, I know."
Kong Nanzhu forced a smile, and she didn't know why she could still smile.
Qin Hehai: "You didn't even ask Nan Nan if she agreed. Nan Nan may not think highly of you. You've gotten carried away with just a few fans. Do you really think you're popular with everyone?"
Qin Qi licked his back teeth, pressed the tip of his tongue against his burning cheek, and sneered nonchalantly, as if he knew the answer to this question.
Shen Jun looked at her expectantly and suddenly asked Kong Nanzhu the question.
Kong Nanzhu suppressed the emotions surging in her heart. She received hope and encouragement in Shen Jun's eyes, as if he was encouraging her to speak up, speak up quickly, tell him what you think.
Kong Nanzhu quickly recalled in her mind whether she had inadvertently expressed her secret love for Qin Qi. Those feelings that should not have been developed for her younger brother appeared during the period of a young girl's love.
It’s like when the diary I secretly hid when I was a child was opened by my parents. I feel ashamed and nervous, and I wish I had never done that.
But, how can one deny something like feelings?
"I do."
Qin Qi was stunned, and suddenly raised his head to look at her with a sharp gaze. …
The phone vibrated suddenly, and Kong Nanzhu came back to his senses. His thoughts were dragged from memories to reality, and he saw a question mark appear on the conversation interface.
Qin Qi:?
Qin Qi's phone also stayed on the conversation interface between the two people. He watched the words the other party was typing appear over and over again, and then calm down. His curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but break the deadlock first.
Kong Nanzhu didn't understand what his question mark meant. Before she could respond, Qin Qi called her.
They seldom called each other, and Qin Qi usually sent her messages directly when he had something to say.
Qin Qi's voice sounded extremely magnetic in the quiet night, and its texture was like the mellow and rich black coffee, which made the back of the neck itch after just one sniff. "You just lost, deleted, deleted, lost, what did you want to tell me."
He actually saw it.
Kong Nanzhu felt embarrassed as if he had been caught. "Uh, good night."
Qin Qi: “…”
You just said one sentence and you can't wait to hang up the phone?
Qin Qi: "You don't want to talk to me."
Kong Nanzhu: "No, no, I mean, I wanted to say good night to you just now, but I was afraid that you were already asleep and couldn't see it..."
Qin Qi's tone slowed down, "If you send it, I can see it tomorrow."
"Oh, okay."
Nothing to say again.
Kong Nanzhu had no idea why Qin Qi suddenly called her. In the past two years, Qin Qi rarely contacted her on his own initiative.
Kong Nanzhu: "Are you in the hotel now?"
Qin Qi: “Yeah.”
Kong Nanzhu wanted to ask him if he was angry at night, but she didn't want to add to Qin Qi's worries before going to bed, so as not to affect his rest. After hesitating for a moment, she gave up and said, "Hurry up and rest. You must be very busy tomorrow."
"Don't you have anything else to tell me?"
Kong Nanzhu felt that there was something wrong with Qin Qi's tone. Yes, it was, but he was afraid that you would be unhappy if he told you.
"I checked the weather forecast. It may rain a little in Changsha tomorrow. Tell Xiao Liu to keep an umbrella ready at all times."
Presumably, as an assistant, she must have considered this matter more carefully than she did. After saying this, Kong Nanzhu was afraid that Qin Qi would think she was nagging, but Qin Qi just chuckled and said, "Okay, you should go to bed early too. Staying up late is not good for your skin."
If the two were video chatting at that moment, Kong Nanzhu would be able to see Qin Qi's expression change from gloomy to bright.
After hanging up the phone, Kong Nanzhu rolled around on the bed excitedly, and all the bad emotions were dispelled by his proactive concern.
In the coffee shop, Kong Nanzhu and Xu Qingqing sat by the floor-to-ceiling windows with a great view and took photos.
At the celebrity-style afternoon tea, Kong Nanzhu wore a white and pink Chanel suit with cute red lips. The waiters in the cafe had seen many internet celebrities who came to check in and take photos, but they were still attracted by Kong Nanzhu's outstanding temperament.
"Why else would I call you? I miss you." Xu Qingqing carefully found the angle and said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, so cool. I also want a big star to call me before bed to coax me to sleep."
Qin Qi missed her?
Yes, if he didn’t want to chat with me actively, how could he have seen me deleting messages repeatedly?
Kong Nanzhu's joy was written on her face, revealing the shyness of a young woman. For a moment, her expression was touching. Xu Qingqing quickly pressed the shutter, very satisfied with her freshly made work, "Tsk tsk, this is the nourishment of love."
Love, huh?
I guess so.
Although, so far, it may still be one-sided.
"Hello, beautiful lady."
A strange man suddenly approached and started a conversation. Kong Nanzhu was lowering his head and editing photos on his phone. He didn't look up when he heard the noise. It wasn't that he was impolite, but he had met too many people who approached him like this, and they were all strange. Since he was a stranger, there was naturally nothing important.
Seeing that Kong Nanzhu seemed not to hear him, the man greeted her again.
Xu Qingqing: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The man was dressed in a suit and looked quite capable. "Ladies, I'm the executive agent of Xinghai Entertainment. I just passed by outside and saw you taking pictures. May I ask if you are in the media business?"
Kong Nanzhu looked up and took a look at the man. Xu Qingqing nodded hesitantly, "Xinghai Entertainment, isn't your company at the intersection ahead?"
The man looked at Kong Nanzhu who remained silent, and said with a smile, "Yes, I was just about to go back to the company. Your temperament attracted me immediately. I wonder if you are interested in developing a career in the entertainment industry?"
"Are you a scout?" Xu Qingqing's eyes lit up.
"I guess so. Discovering artists with potential is one of my jobs. This is my business card." The man took out a business card from his chest and handed it directly to Kong Nanzhu, then took out another one and handed it to Xu Qingqing.
Kong Nanzhu took the business card and put it away politely. "Sorry, I don't have any plans in this regard for now."
The man smiled and said, "You don't have to be so hasty to reject me. You can go back and think about it carefully. In addition, we also have a live broadcast MCN agency that we cooperate with. I hope you can go back and learn about our company's strength before making any plans."
After the man left, Xu Qingqing threw the business card directly into the trash can next to her. "Nanzhu, I think you can consider it. You have never joined a guild. It is too tiring to fight alone. If someone helps you run the business, the income will be much higher than it is now, and you won't have to be so tired. Xinghai is a new company that has just started in recent years. It started out as an MCN. Why don't you go back and think about it carefully?"
"No, the most difficult part for me in finding a team is communication. Now I can do whatever I want without consulting anyone. Once I have a company, some things will not be decided by me. It's good this way now."
Xu Qingqing stopped trying to persuade her. She knew that although Kong Nanzhu had a gentle personality, he was actually a very opinionated person.
"I should also be considered half of your behind-the-scenes, right? All those beautiful photos of you were taken by me. Do you know how much a celebrity photo of me can be worth if I sell it to a fan site now?"
Xu Qingqing stretched out five fingers mysteriously.
"Fifty-one is quite expensive. If you go to a scene, you should take at least a hundred or eighty photos."
Xu Qingqing raised a smug smile and shook a finger, "Nonono, five hundred per piece! My drawing skills have been honed to perfection by you, and my works will definitely be top-notch! I am planning to open a personal studio and specialize in photography. If you want to ask me to take pictures again, you can't just give me afternoon tea to get rid of me."
In the evening, Kong Nanzhu started a live broadcast, and unexpectedly, "Gong Jian Xi Chuang Zhu" came again.
Kong Nanzhu's online name is Nanzhu, and she uses the same name on all social media platforms. It's obvious that this person changed the name specifically for her.
Xi Chuang Zhu: Can you turn on the reward function? I want to make some money
Fans left messages one after another——
[Brother Xichuang, rich and inhumane]
[Why is the name Xichuang so awkward...]
[The difference between "Xichuang Daguanren" and "Ximen Daguanren" is only one character]
Xichuangzhu: Old fans, please help explain, has the host always been so cold?
[Yes, your sister has always been like this]
This person started chatting with other fans in her live broadcast room.
With such a generous and talkative boss, the number of comments in the live broadcast room has tripled. Kong Nanzhu can also save himself from the hassle of chatting and interacting.
What an unexpected gain.
