183. Wait For Me
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
Qi Leâan felt that the world was too small. He hadnât heard Wei Changfeng say that he knew Emma before, but now Emma told him instead that she knew Wei Changfeng.
âReally?â Qi Leâan widened his eyes, âIâve never heard him talk about it.â
Emma smiled, âI got to know him from a movie. After watching âInterstellarâ, I was moved and looked for him for a long time, but I was told that he didnât stay or work in Hollywood.â
Qi Leâan couldnât help admiring the charm of his Wei Sama, which had made Emma remember him only after watching one of his movies.
âI didnât expect him to be your boyfriend!â Emma was excited, âI canât wait to visit and eat in your family.â
Qi Leâan agreed with a smile, âOf course. Thatâs no problem.â
On the same day, Qi Leâan told Wei Changfeng about it as soon as he got home.
Wei Changfeng was also surprised when he heard this. He said, âIf we have time, we should serve her a good meal.â
Being so happy, Qi Leâan forgot about Li Zheyu. It was only when he was woken up by Chen Shanâs call the next morning that he suddenly remembered such a person.
âLeâan!â Chen Shan asked on the phone, âWhy would the media ask if youâre coming out of retirement?â
Qi Leâan thought that the news of his comeback could not have been released by Li Zheyu, so he concluded that the real situation should be the media saw him at the charity meeting last night and wanted to make a big fuss about it.
He told Chen Shan the whole story, and Chen Shan sneered after listening, âHe wants to go to Hollywood? He is daydreaming! Donât worry about it. Just leave it to Brother Chen!â
Chen Shan was no longer what he used to be. He had inherited the family business and was no longer that humble brokerage man three years ago. The powerful Young Master Chen, who had real power, was now a rising star in his city. Besides, the Chen family was still holding shares of the Glory Studio. Thus perhaps the sensible media had taken the initiative to curry favor with him.
Young Master Chen confirmed that he was pleased this time.
âBy the way, does your director have any ideas about the domestic publicity?â Chen Shan asked.
âDamien usually doesnât care about these things,â Qi Leâan replied after a pause, âBut it seems that Tresse doesnât have any plans to publicize it at home.â
It was true that music was still an unpopular theme in China, and Hollywood had not yet realized that the Chinese market was a huge cake in recent years. Qi Leâan once consulted Tresse for such questions, and Tresse replied that Qi Leâan had the right to publicize the musical in his own country.
Hearing this, Chen Shan said, âThen Iâm relieved. ..Since Li Zheyu wants to go into Hollywood, weâll just let him turn over there!â
It would never be too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and at this moment, it was the time.
After hanging up, Wei Changfeng, who had listened to the whole story, frowned and asked Qi Leâan, âDid you meet Li Zheyu yesterday?â
Qi Leâan nodded. âI was very angry then, but when I talked to Emma about you, I forgot all about it. Anyway, I have tricked him into three million RMB. I feel so happy just thinking about it!â
Hearing Qi Leâanâs triumphant response, Wei Changfeng did not know whether he should cry or laugh. He asked, âArenât you afraid that he will retaliate against you?â
Qi Leâan looked confident, âItâs he who insisted on bidding for the painting himself. Besides, Iâm working in Hollywood right now. How can he get revenge on me?â
In Qi Leâanâs mind, he was thinking, âThe time I return to China, you, Li Zheyuâs reputation will be ruined!â
âItâs not easy for us to enjoy such holidays. Letâs stop talking about him!â Qi Leâan didnât want to waste his good time on such a disgusting person, saying, âWei Sama, Wei Sama, whatâs the schedule for today?â
It was the last day of his three days off and he always wanted to stay with Wei Changfeng only.
Wei Changfeng smiled, âDidnât you want to see the art exhibition before? I have two tickets. Shall we go together?â
Qi Leâan was willing to go anywhere with Wei Changfeng! His eyes immediately lit up, âYes, letâs go!â
Meanwhile, it was already evening in China. After Chen Shan hung up the phone, he started to reply to messages. He was so busy that he didnât even have time to sleep in a bed.
However, the man with him was unhappy about this. His lips curled and he turned off the wifi.
Young Master Chen had been playing games this month so much that he nearly forgot to eat or sleep, so he was determined to bid farewell to the mobile games and turned off his mobile phoneâs Internet access. At this moment, as he found he couldnât send messages, he immediately cursed, âWhat awful Internet! Iâm doing something seriously right now!â
Li Che responded in a voice dripping with sarcasm, âOh? How serious it is? â
Chen Shan immediately reacted. He had just read the message and ignored the man in bed to answer a call. He knew the man was angry with him now.
He thus threw his phone away and smiled cheekily, âNothing serious! There is nothing more important than about you in this world!â
Li Che sneered, âI think everything is more important than me!â
Then, he put on a coat and got out of bed.
Chen Shan was dumbfounded and quickly put down his phone, âPlease! Iâll finish it in five minutes!â
Without even darting a glance at him, Li Che walked out with his car keys, saying, âBut I canât even wait five minutes!â
Then, he slammed the door shut in front of Chen Shan.
Chen Shan, who was left there, gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing to deal with such a moody person! After a pause, he ran to the router and plugged the power cable into the router, ready to deal with Leâanâs issues first.
But after Chen Shan plugged the power cable into the router, he still couldnât access the Internet. He studied it for a long time before finding out that he put in the wrong password! He called Li Che immediately, but he found that he was blacklisted!
Chen Shan, ââ¦â
Right away, Young Master Chen sent a message angrily to Li Che, âIf you have the guts, then donât change the password of the router!â
However, the message was like a stone dropped into the sea and there was no reply at all.
Of course, Qi Leâan knew nothing about this farce. He was now enjoying himself with his Wei Sama and had just visited the art exhibition. He had also just enjoyed a big meal made by Wei Changfeng himself. At night, he couldnât hold back and had intimacy with his Wei Sama. Such was a happy day for him.
Early the next morning, Wei Changfeng sent Qi Leâan to the working place and their separate life started again.
Luckily, as Qi Leâanâs part of the shooting was about to be finished, the days for him were not so difficult.
After Qi Leâan arrived at the scene, the first person to knock on his door was Tresse.
âFynn just left,â Qi Leâan said to Tresse, who he hadnât seen for a long time, âWhen did you come back? I thought you would attend the charity party.â
Tresse looked bitter, âMy schedule was planned well, but it was a pity that my plane was late. Back there in the evening, I was scolded by Enda. How miserable am I!â
Qi Leâan looked at him sympathetically. He knew Tresse was the busiest guy as far as he knew. Although he didnât know what Tresse had been busy with all day, what he knew was that he had only seen Tresse three times in total during the shooting of âLala Landâ.
âI heard that you met an acquaintance there at the party?â asked Tresse.
Qi Leâan was surprised that the news spread so quickly. Frankly, he admitted, âWell, the one who made me banned in China.â
The person who knew Qi Leâan most in the crew was Tresse. He knew more or less what Qi Leâan had experienced back in China. After hearing this, Tresse nodded and said seriously, âThen how do you plan to deal with this matter?â
Qi Leâan shrugged, âThereâs nothing to deal with. Amco definitely wonât use him. By the way, my manager might hype things up in China. Will you mind it?â
Tresse certainly didnât mind it. He said, âItâs best if you can think that way. I donât hope anyone to affect your mood.â
Qi Leâan smiled, âDonât worry. Iâm very dedicated to my work!â
As he said this, Tresse looked at Qi Leâanâs collar ambiguously while asking, âReally?â
Qi Leâan couldnât help looking down and he blushed!
Today, he was wearing a round collar shirt that happened to reveal a hickey on his neck! Wei Changfeng usually wouldnât leave any traces on him. He must have been too excited last night!
Qi Leâan couldnât even explain all these himself and he felt very embarrassed. Seeing this, Tresse chortled, âDonât let Enda see this or youâll be scolded!â
Qi Leâan quickly nodded. He knew if Director Damien saw this, he would surely be given the cold shoulder.
After knowing the situation between Qi Leâan and Li Zheyu, Tresse left. He didnât say much before leaving, but that afternoon, Qi Leâan found that the Internet was full of news about him.
âThe little prince from the east! The male lead of Damienâs new movie was exposed!â
âThe goddessâs close friend? The two directors are jealous of him!â
âCan Chinese people establish themselves in Hollywood? ! Mr. Qiâs Road to Hollywood! â
â¦â¦
Qi Leâan was dazzled by the eye-catching titles online. He couldnât help reading the contents of the reports carefully and found that foreign media were even more powerful than the domestic ones!
There were many gossips like âthe mysterious little princeâ, or other titles just by adding âlittleâ in front of them.
Of course, some people questioned whether such a young Qi Leâan could play the role of Jack, about which Qi Leâan was not worried.
His appearance at the charity party was even younger than his usual look, and in âLala Landâ, he had a completely different style. With his skillful acting, it wouldnât cause anyone to feel discord at all.
Qi Leâan could also vaguely feel that his first exposed look was deliberately arranged to trigger a heated discussion in public.
He had to admit that Tresse was very good at promoting a star. The contrast brought about by this style would make the publicâs attitude towards him change from âquestioningâ to âstunningâ. More and more people would recognize him and it would make it easier for him to enter Hollywood.
Of course, he was just a beneficiary, and the real thing that caught everyoneâs attention was the movie itself.
Everyone was looking forward to Damienâs new movie. Now that something unexpected happened to the actors, everyone was even more curious.
On the day when the news was brewing on the Internet, Qi Leâanâs name finally appeared on the headlines at home in China.
At last after these few years, the name âQi Leâanâ made it to the hot search list again.
#My Idol Qi Leâan# was ranked number one on the hot topic list. Fans were leaving comments and messages on Weibo under the topic. âI knew he wouldnât leave the country and abandon us. I knew he wouldnât leave us behind. No matter what has happened, we will always wait for you! When you return to your land, all the flowers will bloom for you.â
Qi Leâan couldnât help but weep when he read the comments. He knew that there was still a group of people waiting for him in his hometown.
He logged into his Weibo account and posted a few simple words:
@Qi Leâan: Wait for me.
He was saying in his heart, âWait for me, I will come back with glory one day. Wait for me, I wonât let you feel that being a fan of mine is embarrassing.â
