Liu Yong pushed the door open. When he saw the two of them, he knew that they were at loggerheads again. He quickly walked over and took down Liu Qiao's raised hand. "Sister Qiao, you're such a big star. Why are you arguing with a newbie? Calm down, calm down. I'll teach him a lesson later. This kind of thing requires Sister Qiao to do it personally."
Liu Qiao breathed heavily, but she still couldn't calm down. She said to Liu Yong, "I'll give you face and let him go for today. But you better teach him a lesson. Otherwise, I won't let him go easily!"
"Thank you, Sister Qiao, for giving me face. I'll definitely teach him a lesson. Don't worry, don't worry. We still have to go to the audition later. You can't be so angry because of him that you can't act normally. Calm down, calm down. "Liu Yong tried to persuade her.
"Cancel his audition and let him go home to reflect!" Liu Qiao said to Liu Yong in a commanding tone.
"This …" Liu Yong said awkwardly. "I just sent in the audition number. It's not good to cancel it now. You know that this isn't an ordinary crew. Everyone is being careful. Sister Qiao, just bear with it. They're just newbies with a two-year contract. In less than a year, their contracts will expire. It's not certain if they can be renewed. With Hua Xi's personality, there's probably no hope of renewing the contract. But the company pays them a salary. They have to do some work, right? Just bear with it for a few more months. Soon, this person will disappear completely in front of you. It's not worth it to be angry with him. "
Liu Qiao turned her head and glared at Tao Wan. "This isn't over. Just you wait!"
Liu Qiao walked out with her head held high. The anger in her heart couldn't dissipate. She was still upset that she didn't slap him.
"What are you all standing there for?" Liu Yong said to the stunned newbies. "The car is downstairs. Go down."
The rookies all looked dejected as they walked out of the lounge one after another. The reason why they were like this was because Liu Yong's words were exactly what they were worried about.
The company hadn't been established for a long time, and the most famous star was Liu Qiao. The competition in the entertainment industry was fierce. If the boss of the company didn't have some connections, Liu Qiao wouldn't have been able to enter the company.
The company's idea was to use a mass screening method to select the most qualified people from a large group of people. If this batch didn't work out, they would change another batch. The company wanted to nurture their own famous stars because it was too difficult to sign famous stars. The company had signed a lot of newcomers, but they only signed a short two-year contract. It was like a probation period, but they would be given a guaranteed salary every month.
Once the two-year contract was up, whether they could stay or not was the thing that these newcomers were most worried about. It was very difficult to sign with a formal management company now. Even if the chance of becoming famous was small, at least there was a chance. Moreover, the company also gave him a guaranteed salary, which was no less than the salary of a white-collar worker. After leaving the company, he would be further away from his dream.
"I say, why don't you learn from your mistakes? You've been taught a lesson by her so many times, but you still want to offend her. Can't you just bear with it? Bear with it for a while, and you'll be able to see the world. Just keep it in your heart. When you become more famous than her, she'll come begging you. The entertainment industry is so realistic. "
Tao Wan was expressionless and didn't say anything. He knew that Liu Yong was doing it for his own good, so he didn't say anything. But it was impossible for him to tolerate people like Liu Qiao. Even if he left the company and became an internet celebrity, he would still find a way to become famous. As long as he had fame, it wouldn't be difficult to act.
"This is the last time." Liu Yong helplessly shook his head and said, "If you offend her again, I won't care. Just wait for the contract to expire and leave. Originally, I thought that you were the most likely to become famous among this batch of people. Let's not talk about becoming an A-lister, even a B-lister or B-lister would be good. What if one day your luck changes and you become famous after playing a role that no one wants? But now it seems that your personality isn't suitable for the entertainment industry. If you want to survive in the entertainment industry, you'll have to bear with it for a long time. That's the rule of the industry. "
Liu Yong really wanted to groom someone. He didn't have much of a future if he kept managing these newcomers. But even if he wanted to be a manager, he needed someone to groom. The manager told him that as long as he could groom a promising newcomer, he would be the manager after signing a formal contract. Otherwise, he would have to be the team leader of the newcomers.
When Tao Wan and Liu Yong got in the car, the atmosphere in the car was quite bad. Everyone seemed to have something on their minds. Halfway through the journey, someone started talking about the drama they were going to audition for. Thus, those people temporarily forgot their worries and started discussing excitedly.
"I heard that the main lead this time is Zheng Xuanlin. He's a three-time Best Actor. He only acted in movies in the past, but this time, he actually took on a weekly drama."
"His studio seems to have invested in this drama. Zheng has always valued the script. He must be satisfied with the script this time. That's why he took on this drama."
"The director and scriptwriter of this drama is Xiang Qing. She's a famous director and scriptwriter. She's won a lot of awards. She's also the director of Guan Heng Film and Television. I heard that Guan Heng invested a lot of money in this drama. It's a collaboration between Guan Heng and Zheng Xuanlin's studio. "
"For people like us, this drama is unattainable. But for Zheng, it's definitely the second best choice. No matter what, he's still a movie star."
"Do you think that Zheng took on this drama because of Cheng Yi? If that's the case, then it's too sweet. I'm their CP fan. "
"Didn't Zheng Xuanlin tear down the CP before? He said that he and Cheng Yi are just ordinary friends. It's impossible for them to develop a romantic relationship. "
"Those big stars are like that. They definitely won't admit it if they're not photographed."
"Even if they're photographed, they still won't admit it. It should be said that as long as they don't want to make it public, they won't admit it."
"Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi are really a good match. It'll be great if they're really a couple."
"Group leader Liu, do you have any gossip? Are Zheng Xuanlin and Cheng Yi together? "A girl asked curiously.
"I do have some gossip. That is, in another two or three months, another batch of newcomers will enter the company." Liu Yong said expressionlessly. He thought that this batch of newcomers was hopeless. He'd better count on the next batch of newcomers.
The car instantly quieted down. The atmosphere that had just become lively immediately dropped.
Tao Wan had been resting with his eyes closed. Among the topics they were talking about, the only thing that caught his attention was Zheng Xuanlin, his lover in his previous life, and the target of his strategy in this life.
The video of Tao Wan playing Go with Su Yongfu was uploaded to the Go enthusiast forum by several people. Then, he went viral on the Internet. Posts discussing the process of him playing Go with Su Yongfu kept popping up. Not only did the online media report on him, but many famous Go commentators also said that he was a genius.
Su Yongfu participated in a charity event. When he was asked about this during an interview, he praised Tao Wan without hesitation. He said that if he participated in the competition, it wouldn't take long for him to dominate the entire Go world. Such a genius was hard to come by in a hundred years.
Not only did Tao Yuan become popular in the Go world, but he also gained a certain level of fame on the Internet.
They felt that someone who could be praised by the Go Saint must be very powerful. Although people who didn't understand Go couldn't understand how powerful the Go Saint was, someone who could be called a saint must be a master among masters.
Tao Wan didn't win against Su Yongfu because he felt that it wasn't an official competition. Moreover, Su Yongfu was the Go Saint. It wasn't good for him to win against him directly. He wanted to save some face for the old man.
It was just that Wei Shicheng was a little dissatisfied that he had lost the painting. He promised to draw a better one for him, so he happily hugged him, kissing and rubbing him.
After the teachers of the Go Department of the National Academy saw the video, they immediately wanted to meet with Tao Wan. However, Tao Wan asked for leave because Du Yi was about to undergo surgery. He told the dean of the Go Department that he would meet with them after the award ceremony.
The dean and the Go teachers were very eager to see him. They even wanted to visit him. However, after the dean knew about his brother's situation, he comforted the other teachers and asked them to wait.
Wei Shicheng helped to arrange the hospital and doctors. They didn't have to wait too long. After the various examinations, they could start the surgery.
Tao Wan sighed in his heart about the benefits of being rich and powerful. The original owner's father ran around for several years. He only managed to contact the hospital before he died. Unfortunately, before Du Yi could start the surgery, he went bankrupt and passed away.
Tao Wan had already taken Du Yi for various examinations. After a few days of rest, he could go to the hospital and wait for the surgery.
During the few days of rest at home, Tao Wan went out for a few hours every day. He told Du Yi that he was going to work. In fact, he was going to sleep with Wei Shicheng. However, since he was kept by Wei Shicheng, it was his job to sleep with Wei Shicheng. He wasn't lying. He just couldn't tell what his job was.
Today, Tao Wan didn't prepare to leave the house. Du Yi asked in confusion, "Brother, don't you have to work today?"
"Uh … because you are going to have the surgery soon. I don't trust you to stay at home alone. So, I brought my work home," Tao Wan said.
"Oh, then I won't watch TV. It's too noisy and will disturb your work. I'll go back to my room and read for a while." Du Yi turned off the TV with the remote control and stood up.
The doorbell suddenly rang. Tao Wan walked over to open the door. Wei Shicheng walked in from outside.
Du Yi was still standing in the living room. He was about to greet the guest before going into the room.
"This is Uncle Wei." Tao Wan introduced him to Du Yi.
"Hello, Uncle Wei." Du Yi greeted Wei Shicheng obediently.
"Yes, hello." Wei Shicheng nodded.
"Uncle Wei is here to talk about work with brother. We have very important things to talk about. If you don't have anything important, don't disturb us. But if you don't feel well, you must knock on the door or call me loudly. Do you understand? "Tao Wan instructed seriously.
"Yes." Du Yi nodded obediently.
"If you don't feel well, you must not bear it." Tao Wan instructed again seriously.
"Okay." After Du Yi answered, he turned and went back to his room.
Tao Wan brought Wei Shicheng into his room. Just as he closed the door and locked it, he was pressed against the wall by Wei Shicheng and kissed.
Tao Wan clung to his shoulder and raised his head to receive his domineering kiss. Soon, he was stripped naked and pressed on the bed.
Wei Shicheng had never been so infatuated with a person's body. He felt like he was addicted. If he didn't touch this body for a day, he couldn't sit still and couldn't concentrate on anything. He wanted to bring this person with him at this moment so that he could hold him at any time and do whatever he wanted to do.
Such a charming and delicious body. He couldn't get enough of it. Especially when he was like a peerlessly beautiful little goblin, straddling him and twisting his waist. For a moment, he was even willing to give him his soul. When he woke up and calmed down, he already had the idea of possessing him forever.
Tao Wan bit his lips and tried not to cry out because this wasn't Wei Shicheng's office, nor was it his high-class apartment outside. It was a rental apartment with very ordinary soundproofing. Although Du Yi's room wasn't next to his, if he went to the living room to drink water or take something, it wouldn't be good if he accidentally heard the sound of him crying out in bed.
The two of them were doing this in the room, and there was a child in the other room. Tao Wan actually felt quite guilty. But Wei Shicheng didn't want to wait for a day. It was like drinking water and eating food. He had to eat a meal every day to have the energy to work.
The sound of the bed shaking was a little loud. Tao Wan wanted him to slow down, but he was worried that if he opened his mouth, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from crying out.
Two hours later, Wei Shicheng left and went back to work. Tao Yuan was lying on the bed, looking like he had been violated by someone. Moreover, the person who had violated him had left without giving him any money. Because he was a monthly customer, he paid in one lump sum every month, so he could visit him at any time.
After a while, Tao Wan recovered. When the heat in his body subsided, he pulled the blanket over his body and prepared to sleep for a while before getting up to cook dinner.
Two days before the surgery, Du Yi was admitted to the hospital. He stayed in the VIP suite and a room for family members. These were all arranged by Wei Shicheng. Otherwise, even if Tao Wan was rich now, he wouldn't be able to get the VIP suite in the hospital.
When Du Yi started the surgery, Tao Wan waited in the family members' lounge outside the operating room. Wei Shicheng put down his work and came to accompany him.
In Wei Shicheng's eyes, the two of them were still children. For such an important surgery, there must be a real parent and adult.
Tao Wan leaned on Wei Shicheng's shoulder. He was actually still a little worried. If Du Yi's surgery failed, then he didn't fulfill his responsibility.
The system told him that the soul he replaced voluntarily exchanged bodies, and after reincarnation, he would receive more happiness. Therefore, he came to this world not only to complete his mission, but also to help the original owner do what he couldn't do. Tao Wan felt that since he replaced the original owner, he should bear all the responsibilities for him.
The door of the operating room opened, and the doctor walked out. Tao Wan immediately stood up and asked, "Doctor, how was the surgery?"
The doctor took off his mask and said, "The surgery was very successful, but he still needs to be hospitalized for a while."
"Thank you, doctor." Tao Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome." The doctor nodded and left.
Du Yi had been pushed out from the other exit of the operating room. He hadn't woken up yet, so Tao Wan had to accompany him.
"You go do your work, godfather. I can stay here by myself." Tao Wan said.
"You're sleeping here tonight?" Wei Shicheng asked.
"Yes, I don't know when Du Yi will wake up. I'm sleeping in the family members' lounge tonight."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Tao Wan avoided Wei Shicheng's face that suddenly came close, and then quickly looked at the camera.
Even if it was captured by the camera, no one would dare to publicize what the two of them did. However, Wei Shicheng didn't force him. He touched his head like an elder and then left.
Du Yi was hospitalized for observation. There were nurses who took care of him, so he didn't need Tao Wan to watch over him all the time. Therefore, after Du Yi woke up, he only needed to take time out to visit him every day. After all, he still had a lot of things to do. He couldn't always watch over him, and there was no need for that.
The award ceremony of the Youth Cup Chinese Arts Competition began. Tao Wan felt that the day he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Because the award ceremony was quite grand and many Chinese Arts masters would come, the preparation work had been done for a while.
After the award ceremony and speech ended, Tao Wan, the second place, and the third place went to the interview area to be interviewed by the media. It was time for Tao Wan to perform.
"Student Tao Wan, as the youngest exhibitor in the National Gallery, what do you think?"
Tao Wan made a thoughtful expression and said, "If I have to say what I think, it would be that I'm lucky that I didn't send another piece of work to the competition. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the chance to stand here now."
The reporter didn't understand what he was talking about. He asked again, "Why can't you stand here if you submitted another piece of work? Are you saying that your painting skills are lower than usual, and this time, your winning piece is better than usual? "
"That's not it. My skills have always been quite stable. If it wasn't for the guidance of my Chinese Arts teacher, I would have been famous long ago. I actually don't understand. With that kind of character and standard, how could he be a Chinese Arts teacher at Tōkyō University? I feel that I'm quite unlucky to be a student of such a person. "
All the reporters were stunned. This was different from the content of the interview they had expected. Which student who had won an award did not thank the school and teachers in all sorts of ways? Why did he say that his teacher was not worthy of being a teacher and that it was a very unlucky thing to be his student?
Xu Shaoyan turned his head and looked at him with an unconcealable look of surprise. He couldn't believe that he dared to say these words in front of so many reporters.
"Are you talking about your Chinese Arts teacher?" The reporter confirmed with him, "As far as we know, you and Xu Shaoyan are both his students. Moreover, one of you is first and the other is third. He should be a very good teacher to be able to teach such outstanding students."
"Then you're wrong." Tao Wan said with a sarcastic smile, "He only has the ability to teach students to be bad. He doesn't have the ability to teach them to be good. Moreover, in order to collect money in private, he doesn't have the ability but still insists on teaching."
"You're saying that your teacher collected money from you in private?" the reporter asked.
"I don't know if other people collected money or not. Anyway, he was very forceful in collecting money from me. I can show you the evidence of the transfer and all the recording evidence."
Although reporters liked explosive news, it was the first time they had seen such a sudden revelation. Moreover, the media was broadcasting it live. Every word he said was being watched by people on the Internet. Could it be that his school didn't communicate with him first?
It wasn't that no one had suddenly held a press conference to expose this, but any reporter who exposed this news would more or less get wind of it and roughly know what was going to happen. However, they had never heard of a teacher who exposed himself backstage at an awards ceremony. Only someone who didn't want to stay in school would dare to do this, right? But by doing this, not only would he not be able to stay in school, but he might also not be able to survive in the Chinese Arts industry. After all, Tōkyō University was one of the top universities in the country. Its power was not to be underestimated.
"Let me show everyone. This is the work that I completed under the guidance of our Chinese Arts teacher, Teacher Hu Wenshan." Tao Wan opened the scroll of painting that he had been holding in his hand and let the reporters take pictures.
After the reporters came back to their senses, they furiously took pictures of the painting. Anyway, the video had already been broadcasted. The ones who had to worry about it were the leaders of Tōkyō University. Even if they couldn't report it due to public relations, they would still film it first.
"Also, I've already uploaded a recording of the process of him guiding me on the Internet. I'm going to play it now. You can record it directly." Tao Wan took out his phone and started playing the recording. At the beginning, it was the part where Hu Wenshan insisted on guiding him and then he transferred the money to Hu Wenshan.
"What are the people at the scene doing?!" The school leader who was watching the live broadcast slammed the table and said, "Hurry up and stop him!"
It was supposed to be an honorable thing. In order to encourage the students to learn from them, the school organized all the Chinese Arts students to watch the interview live. However, Tao Wan's words scared the students.
Hu Wenshan was even more stunned. He didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He thought that Tao Wan might report him to the school leader. Since he had someone to back him up, he wasn't afraid. However, he never thought that Tao Wan would expose him during the interview. No student would dare to do such a thing.
