138. Demonic
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
For a moment, the idea of Coolrunning was beyond Qi Leâanâs grasp. How could they ask two celebrities to have a public debate inside the company?
It was the first time Chen Bin encounter such a situation, and he was amazed.
Even Wei Changfeng, who was experienced, had nothing to say this time. He held Qi Leâanâs little hand and comforted him, âWhy donât we just skip it?â
Qi Leâan pinched Wei Changfengâs hand, then he gritted his teeth and said, âLetâs do it! I have to take revenge on Li Zheyu!â
Wei Changfeng looked at Leâan as if he was watching a vigorous tiger cub and couldnât help laughing, âOkay, letâs do it! Iâll go with you.â
Qi Leâan was adamant that he did not want Coolrunning to accept the two celebrities at the same time, so he said, âWei Sama, you should wait for me at home! Iâm sure Iâll win the championship! â He said as if he were about to have a debate.
At the same time, Li Zheyu, who received the notice, dropped the cup in his hand. He was so furious and thundered, âWhat the hell?!â
âHave they lost their mind? Or was Gloryâs reputation not big enough? How could a little Qi Leâan compete with me? â
By his side, the assistant held his breath and didnât dare to breathe. He had to bear Li Zheyuâs wrath.
The agent, who had been with Li Zheyu for many years, saw that he was almost calm, so he whispered quickly, âAt first, everything was already set. I wonder how that Qi Leâan flattered the person in charge, whose name was Deng Jie! He did his best to recommend Qi Leâan.â
âQi Leâan,â Li Zheyu ground his teeth and squinted his eyes, then he said, âWell, hasnât he learned his lesson yet?â
Back then, an unknown newcomer dared to steal his role in âBetter Daysâ! It was not until the end that he found out that Qi Leâan was the frequent and welcomed guest of Director Chenâs daughter. However, chasing him out of Glory and humiliating him was also his revenge on him. He would definitely let it go if Qi Leâan kept his nose clean. But now how could he dare to compete with him for endorsements?
The endorsement of Coolrunning was arranged by his brother! There must be a lot of benefits that would come along with it. How could Qi Leâan dare to steal it?
The more Li Zheyu thought about it, the angrier he became. The assistant on the side was frightened. His agent looked at him and said, âZheyu, do you think we should give Mr. Jiang a call?â
âYes! No⦠wait a moment! â
Jiang Shan was one of his supporters, but this guy caused a lot of trouble a while agoâ¦
âIâll call him personally,â Li Zheyu said with a mocking expression, âQi Leâan, you can just wait to disappear from this entertainment industry!â
The assistant couldnât help but look up at Li Zheyu. His face was so twisted that it made people feel a little cold.
Li Zheyu clamored to call his godfather while Qi Leâan reported some progress to Yin Yan.
Yin Yanâs management of Qi Leâan was quite casual. He didnât care much about him at ordinary times but he wouldnât forget him if there were good things. The endorsement of Coolrunning this time was arranged by Yin Yan, so Qi Leâan naturally had to report to the boss.
Yin Yan was also shocked by the request of Coolrunning. He asked over the phone, âA public debate? What does it mean?â
âIt probably means two people standing together to express their opinions?â Qi Leâan was not sure.
Yin Yan was speechless.
âUncle Yin?â Seeing that Yin Yan had not spoken for a long time, Qi Leâan couldnât help but ask.
Yin Yan sighed and said, âLeâan, why donât we give up this advertising endorsement? It shouldnât be like this.â
A celebrity has an identity and an idolâs burden. Competition for an endorsement was already a murky business. And now, they still had to meet each other, and everything offstage was on the table. In addition to Li Zheyuâs reputation within the industry, Yin Yan could imagine that there would be definitely unpleasant conflicts.
Qi Leâan was not in a hurry to make money now. It was fine if he didnât want this endorsement. Anything was better than making an enemy.
However, after hearing Yin Yanâs words, Qi Leâan did not retreat, âUncle Yin, I want to go for this endorsement.â
Yin Yan said seriously, âLeâan, do you know who youâre up against?â
Qi Leâan made this decision because he knew who it was. He has never provoked Li Zheyu. His role in Better Days was obtained by his capability. The thing that Li Zheyu used his birth to humiliate him was not over!
If he were to quit now, Li Zheyu would think that he was afraid, but he was not!
What was the big deal about meeting on the same stage? In his last life, hadnât he begged for a role or an opportunity? There was no such thing as a free lunch. Since this was a fair competition, he had to seize the opportunity.
âUncle Yin, I know it, but Iâm not afraid.â
Qi Leâanâs voice was full of certainty. He did not know if Yin Yan was relieved or angry. He said, âYou can go if you want, Liefeng was there anyway.â
The entire studio was your support. Although we were not as big as Glory, Glory shouldnât take all the rights of speech.
Qi Leâan understood Yin Yanâs words and was touched, âThank you, Uncle Yin.â he said.
Yin Yan smiled and asked, âDonât mention it. By the way, howâre your studies recently?â
Qi Leâan was speechless. He couldnât go on and was about to hang up.
After the daily greeting, Qi Leâan hung up and turned to look at Wei Changfeng who was sitting on the bed. Wei Changfeng smiled and asked, âWhat?â
âWhy are people asking me about my study every day?â Qi Leâan put himself on the bed and said helplessly.
Wei Changfeng scratched Qi Leâanâs nose and said, âDo they really ask you every day?â
Qi Leâan rubbed himself up and snorted, âYes, they do. especially Wei Sama!â
Wei Changfeng felt that Qi Leâan was so cute that he couldnât help asking, âHave you finished the papers today?â
Qi Leâan, ââ¦â He had to get up and write the papers!
Who asked Wei Changfeng to be the teacher who set the questions! Every time he thought that Wei Changfeng had personally selected and assembled every question, there was no way he would not do it!
Qi Leâan was doing the paper half joyfully and half painfully. Ever since Wei Changfeng accepted his tutoring task, his grades had indeed improved. He felt that the few papers that Teacher Luo sent over a few days ago were much easier than the questions in mid-term exams.
Qi Leâan, who was focused on the papers, didnât know that Li Zheyu, who was thousands of miles away, regarded him as an eyesore.
As the days of the finishing of âBlueâ got close, the public debate of Coolrunning has come. Probably because he was ânot nervous before the exam, Qi Leâan took the public debate with composure. He always had the feeling that the endorsement would definitely belong to him.
On the contrary, Chen Bin was very nervous. He had prepared countless documents for Qi Leâan and he even asked people to find out the preferences of Deng Jie and other leaders of the company.
âThereâs nothing to say about that Deng Jie, as she doesnât seem to like anything,â Chen Bin flipped through his phone and said, âBut the CEO of Coolrunning would also come. He should be the one who makes the final decision.â
Chen Bin put his phone in front of Qi Leâan while he was saying it.
There was an old man with white hair and wrinkles on the screen. He smiled with a kind expression. Qi Leâan remembered that the CEO was only in his sixties, so he asked curiously, âWhy does this guy look seventy or eighty years old?â
Chen Bin said, âHe is sixty-seven, almost seventy.â
He was still working in his sixties. How sad it was!
Chen Bin saw through what Qi Leâan was thinking and said, âPresident Li is now working behind the leading group. He only appears on important occasions.â As he said this, he swiped the screen and said, âThis is President Liâs grandson, the person in actual charge.â
âWhereâs his son?â Qi Leâan looked at the young man who was less than thirty years old on the screen and asked strangely.
âHe passed away,â Chen Bin said calmly, âLi Che has been around with President Li since he was young. Everyone calls him President Li Jr., and what he likes best is sports cars.â
Qi Leâan blinked. He didnât know anything about the car.
Did Wei Sama have any research on cars? He could ask Wei Sama when he came back from the scene later.
Chen Bin looked at Qi Leâanâs distracted expression and said angrily, âQi Leâan! Do you still want to listen or not?â
Qi Leâan quickly came back to his senses. He sat upright on the sofa with his legs folded and said. âYes, please go on. President Li Jr. likes sports cars. What about President Li? What does he like?â
âHe likes children,â Chen Bin said expressionlessly, âPresident Li used to have a hard time, and a pair of his siblings didnât survive. After he became rich, he has been subsidizing all kinds of children to see doctors and go to schools.â
Qi Leâan was stunned and asked tentatively, âBrother Chen, do you think I am like a child? The kind that President Li likes?â
Chen Bin thought inwardly, âWhat should I do? Iâm so tired of it and I want to go back to my room to play games.â
With Chen Binâs warning, Qi Leâan finally remembered everyone he was about to meet tomorrow. When Wei Changfeng came back from the scene, he saw Leâan holding an iPad on the sofa with a grievance.
âWhatâs wrong?â Wei Changfeng asked curiously.
Qi Leâan put down his iPad and smiled happily, âWei Sama, youâre finally back! Have you eaten yet?â
It was a night scene tonight. Wei Changfeng had a boxed meal with the crew, so he nodded, âYes, I have. What about you?â
Qi Leâan ran over and hugged him. It happened that Gary, who had just parked his car, entered.
The two people, ââ¦â
âI forgot that Wei Sama still had a tail!â
As he pretended to be fine, Qi Leâan said, âBrother Chen just told me something about the leader group of Coolrunning. Wei Sama, do you know anything about cars?â
Qi Leâanâs words were confusing but Wei Changfeng understood his meaning.
âYou mean Li Che? I met him once, and this person⦠is a bit demonic.
Qi Leâan blinked his eyes. âWhat do you mean âdemonicâ? He looked decent on the photos!â
Wei Changfeng didnât explain much. When Qi Leâan saw President Li Jr. the next day, he understood Wei Changfengâs meaning.
Because of this endorsement, Qi Leâan had to ask the crew for a day off. Luckily, he had a good rapport with everyone, so the director waved his hand and let Qi Leâan go.
Chen Bin drove Qi Leâan to the headquarters of Coolrunning in City B. Downstairs, the Starbucks was still bustling, and the busy office area was not different from the last time they saw it. The two of them drove into the underground garage and Chen Bin drove around three times before he found a parking spot. Surprisingly, just as they were about to park the car in, a red sports car dashed in front of them and parked in that place.
Chen Bin has never been robbed of a parking slot. He was so furious that he was about to get out of the car to fight with them.
As a result, Qi Leâan watched the doors of the red sports car slowly rise. President Li Jr., whom he had seen on the screen last night, came out of the driverâs seat.
President Li Jr. looked over and smiled. âSorry, I parked here first.â
Chen Bin, who clenched his fists and was about to punch him, ââ¦â
Chen Bin murmured a few times that impulsion was the devil and drove to find another parking slot. Just then, President Li Jr. turned to open the door of the sports car and Li Zheyu came out of the car.
Of course, Li Zheyu saw Qi Leâan sitting in the car. He looked this way scornfully.
President Li Jr. smiled apologetically and the two of them left.
Chen Binâs mind heated up and he stepped on the accelerator under his feet. Their car suddenly had a close encounter with the red sports car.
