Divorced Actor Picking Up Garbage - Chap 196
The cream melted between the lips and teeth of the two, even if it was just the simplest kiss, Yan Zixiu’s actions made Jing Shaoci so sweet that he went crazy.
He clenched his hands tightly, and even the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, almost using all his willpower to suppress his desire.
Until Yan Zixiu fed all the cake into the other party’s mouth, he didn’t get half a response from Jing Shaoci.
He put down his hand, then sat back down.
“Am I really despicable?” Yan Zixiu said in a tone full of self-deprecation, “I actually want to use this method to make you change your mind.”
He used to claim to be polite, so he always refused Jing Shaoci on such matters, but today it was he who had the intention of seducing him.
Not only was he despicable, but he also lost in an extremely embarrassing manner.
Yan Zixiu was thinking, maybe his life is really bad, so bad that he can’t keep the people he wants to keep even if he abandons all the bottom lines.
Yan Zixiu closed his reddish eyes and leaned on Jing Shaoci’s shoulder.
“Jing Shaoci, don’t leave me, okay?”
His voice was almost pleading, mixed with unresolved grief.
“I was wrong, you can tell me to do anything, as long as you don’t drive me away…”
Even so, Jing Shaoci remained silent.
After an unknown amount of time, he said in a distant tone, “Yan Zixiu, it’s past 12 o’clock, you should go.”
When Yan Zixiu got up, the broken hair on his forehead fell down, covering all the emotions in his eyes.
His heart ached so much that he didn’t even dare to breathe hard, he just felt ashamed before his eyes.
He slowly got dressed and left the Jing family.
It was already a cold winter at the end of January, and the sky was snowing at some point.
Yan Zixiu stood there helplessly, feeling that every snowflake that fell on his body seemed to seep into his internal organs, and all the blood vessels in his body constricted from the cold.
It wasn’t until thin snow accumulated on his shoulders that Yan Zixiu raised his cold fingers to cover his eyes.
What Jing Shaoci said is right, they are not lost and found again, perhaps the real loss is from the encounter in this life.
Transparent liquid oozed from his fingers, he laughed, but in the next second, sobs overflowed from his throat.
In the end, Yan Zixiu stood alone in the snowy night, crying bitterly.
After returning that night, Yan Zixiu fell seriously ill.
But Yan Zixiu stubbornly refused to use spiritual energy for treatment, let alone go to the hospital.
When Li Fengzhi found out, he had already passed out from the fever.
After he recovered from his illness, Yan Zixiu never mentioned the name Jing Shaoci again, and Jing Shaoci no longer paid attention to Yan Zixiu’s news.
The two of them lived in their own worlds as if they had never known each other.

“The dinner that Director Xue made today must be to persuade you to act in the second part of Mountain and Sea Monster Hunter.”
Li Fengzhi looked at him and said, “The attitude of the company has already been given, and everything will go according to your wishes.”
Yan Zixiu nodded slightly indifferently, without speaking.
After arriving at the meeting hall, everyone including the director was very enthusiastic about them.
Today, only the director and the assistant director came from the crew, and the rest of the audience were all investors.
“Xiao Yan, let’s see what else you want to order. The Zhejiang cuisine in this club is pretty good.” The assistant director handed him the menu and said.
However, Yan Zixiu declined the other party’s kindness, and said in a calm tone: “No need, let’s talk about things directly.”
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became awkward. Seeing this, the vice president of Baylor Media Company directly said, “Since Mr. Yan’s time is precious, let’s cut to the chase.”
The representatives of the other investors immediately sat up straight and focused their gazes.
“If you feel that the script or the salary is inappropriate, as long as you mention it, we can make adjustments immediately.”
Already after that Lunar New Year comedy, Yan Zixiu has risen to one of the most guaranteed box office male stars in Huaguo, and “Mountain and Sea Monster Hunter” made him directly stand at the top.
In the current market where even famous directors bow their heads to attract investment, as long as the five characters of Yan Zixiu starring Yan Zixiu are on the new drama label, the investors will be rushing to knock on the door with gold bricks in their hands.
Yan Zixiu glanced at all the people present, and said in a cold tone: “I heard that the heroine of the second part has been decided, and it’s Qiao Weiwei.”
In the plot of the first part, there is no love line at all, at most it is the implied warmth between Feng Yanqing played by Yan Zixiu and the demon servant Ling Nian.
But in the second part, Ling Nian was directly positioned as the heroine by the screenwriter. Not only did she have a sentimental relationship with Feng Yanqing who fell in love with each other, but also had a plot where Ling Nian killed everyone after Feng Yanqing was seriously injured.
Yan Zixiu just saw this emotional line, he didn’t need to divination, he could predict the outcome of this sequel.
All the people present were smart people, and they could know the meaning of some words just by listening to the sound, not to mention Yan Zixiu said it so straightforwardly.
“Qiao Weiwei is the most popular little actress in the past two years, and her acting skills are also remarkable. I don’t think there is anything inappropriate for her to play Ling Nian, right?”
Remarkable?Li Fengzhi wanted to laugh when he said this.
Everyone is in the same circle, whether it depends on strength or strong support, no one can see clearly.
After hearing this, Yan Zixiu stood up and said, “Pearls and jade are in front of you, but tiles and stones are hard to replace. Since everyone has made a decision, I will not accompany you.”
After speaking, he walked out the door together with Li Fengzhi.
Just when Li Fengzhi put his hand on the doorknob, one of the investors blurted out: “One hundred million.”
Seeing that the two of them stopped moving, all the investors suddenly had a bottom line in their hearts.
“As long as you agree to act, I will give you a salary of [-] million after tax.”
Li Fengzhi was speechless for a while, among all the means, throwing money at Yan Zixiu was the most stupid way.
After all, the sum of all the people present might not be worth a little finger of Yun Sheng.
At this time Director Xue also persuaded: “Xiao Yan, you should think about it.”
“Don’t think about it.” Yan Zixiu dismissed these three words indifferently, and left directly with Li Fengzhi.
In the afternoon of the same day, Li Fengzhi notified the PR department to prepare for the response.
Sure enough, early the next morning, black drafts began to flood in.
[I heard that Yan Zixiu asked for [-] million yuan from the production team of Shanhai, but the negotiation with the producer collapsed. ]
[When people are popular, they are crazy. How many people can save less than 100 million in their lifetime, and actors can open their mouths to make [-] million. ]
[The audience spends the movie ticket money to support Huaguo movies. If it weren’t for the special effects, would Yan Zixiu’s acting skills be worth the box office? ]
Even though Xingyi immediately issued an announcement denying the rumors, the media bigwigs who were present that day tried their best to stomp him on the ground.
Several marketing companies with the most accounts received money, and the drafts were all prepared, but they were deleted by the major platforms in seconds as soon as they were sent out.
Seeing this posture, the several brokerage companies who were going to follow along with him didn’t dare to go into the water easily.
“Zixiu, you can read the script at home with peace of mind, the matter has been resolved.”
In fact, Yan Zixiu has long been used to the rhythm of the entertainment industry’s rumors, but this time he solved it so quickly, he couldn’t restrain his thoughts from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing that there was no response from the other end of the phone, Li Fengzhi called out: “Zixiu?”
Yan Zixiu moved his fingers on his lap slightly, “Is it…”
“what?”
He lowered his eyes and swallowed back the words, “Forget it, you have worked hard these few days.”
Li Fengzhi suddenly realized what the other party wanted to ask, and his mood became contradictory.
Not long after the two ended the call, Ji Luoyu’s number appeared on the screen.
After Yan Zixiu picked it up, he said ‘Hello’ in a cold tone.
“Tianshi Yan, after Fan Chu heard the news on the Internet, he immediately greeted the Internet Supervision Bureau. Those platforms will strictly control the news that smears you in the past few days.”
This was originally a good thing, but Yan Zixiu’s eyes darkened.
So it wasn’t Jing Shaoci.
He didn’t speak for a long time, and Ji Luoyu’s heart suddenly became uneasy.
“Tianshi Yan, Fan Chu has no other intentions, you, you have done so many things for the management office, we just feel that you should not be wronged.”
After hearing this sentence, Yan Zixiu said in a calm tone as much as possible: “Thank you very much.”
Ji Luoyu breathed a sigh of relief, chatted with him a few more words, and ended the call.
Within a few days, the news that Yan Zixiu was nominated for Best Actor at the H International Film Festival was posted on the official website.
Although compared with the Best Actors of the three major film festivals, this award is not so valuable, but Yan Zixiu is the first Chinese person to be nominated for this award, which is of extraordinary significance.
On the day Yan Zixiu arrived at the capital airport of country H, the organizer of the film festival and the airport police dispatched more than 60 people to maintain order, but even so, they almost couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of the fans of country H.
Not only in China, Yan Zixiu’s influence in the whole of Asia is second to none.
After finally getting out of the airport, even Li Fengzhi, who never complained of being tired, showed tiredness on his face.
“I felt like I couldn’t breathe in it just now.” The stylist said dumbfounded.
“My bracelet was broken, and I was completely carried out by the bodyguard brother.”
At the same time as they were talking, the topic of [Yan Zixiu’s Popularity in Country H] also became the most popular topic in real time, not only on Hua Country’s network platform, but also in Country H.
Not only domestic fans, but even passers-by who watched the video at the airport felt elated for some reason.
On the second day of the red carpet session, because Yan Zixiu was so popular, the organizer had to increase the time for the media to take pictures.
When he got the best actor trophy, Yan Zixiu didn’t look excited at all.
In previous award ceremonies, his acceptance speeches were very official, nothing more than thanking the director, co-stars, managers and fans.
But this time, he was silent for a few seconds before raising his eyes to look at the audience.
“I used to think that being an actor was just a profession. It was Teacher Han Xiangchen who made me understand the meaning that a good role gives to life.”
“Since I decided to be an actor seriously, I have also thought about what I should say on the podium.”
He paused for a moment, then continued: “Later, I felt that it didn’t matter what I said. The important thing is that the person I love will look at me tenderly in the crowd.”
But that person, he lost it.
Yan Zixiu swallowed the bitterness in his heart, and looked at the camera with a forced smile.
“I was originally a dull person, thank you for giving me color.”
After saying this, he bowed and stepped off the stage, and left the venue in a hurry without accepting any interviews.
Originally, he did not go to the celebration banquet prepared by Li Fengzhi and the staff. After returning to the room, Yan Zixiu sat alone in front of the French windows.
He picked up the phone, repeatedly typed and deleted repeatedly, but in the end, he still entered the three words Jing Shaoci.
After pressing the search button, financial news immediately comes into view.
[This year’s Forbes Young Rich List, the current CEO of Yunson Group, Jing Shaoci, ranks fifth in the world with assets of US$579 billion. Compared with last year, Jing Shaoci’s wealth growth rate is…]
Yan Zixiu turned down for a long time. In the past, the content related to the other party and himself was completely deleted, and even the search terms for the two to participate in variety shows were also avoided.
He turned off the phone screen and sat alone all night.
When I returned to Huaguo, the Chinese New Year was approaching.
Like the previous two years, Yan Zixiu politely declined Li Fengzhi’s invitation to celebrate the New Year together, and then went to buy New Year’s goods alone.
On the night of New Year’s Eve, Yan Zixiu came to the door of Jing’s house with his things.
As soon as he heard the buzzer, Jing Shaoci handed Xie Chongyun in his arms to Xie Guanxin, stood up and said, “I’ll open the door.”
There is no one else who can come in this time period except Yan Zixiu.
Seeing this, Jing Fengyi and Xie Guanxin had knowing smiles in their eyes.
Yan Zixiu didn’t expect that it would be Jing Shao’s resignation, and his heart suddenly became flustered.
“Happy New Year.”
It was just four words, but he said it very clumsily.
Jing Shaoci stood on the steps, neither speaking nor letting him in, but just looked at him expressionlessly.
After an unknown amount of time, Jing Shaoci said, “Yan Zixiu.”
Yan Zixiu raised his head, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes, but Jing Shaoci looked into his eyes without any warmth.
“Have you ever thought about it, in fact, you don’t love me as you imagined, and all the things you did before were just to make up for it.”
After Yan Zixiu left that day, Jing Shaoci fell into the most extreme torture every day and night.
He thought that if he had to live in this inextricable pain for the rest of his life, it would be better to completely cut off all possibilities.
After he finished saying that, the light in Yan Zixiu’s eyes dimmed inch by inch, like a candle in the wind, fragile as if it would go out with a single wave.
How should he tell Jing Shaoci the truth that his memory was sealed by his master? When the two of them fell in love, there was no such thing as the little prince in his mind, so how could he make up for it?
Yan Zixiu’s lips twitched, but he gave up in a blink of an eye.
He stood there silently, holding a New Year’s gift in his hand.
“I asked you to let me go, but you just want to appear cruelly in front of me time and time again.”
Jing Shaoci closed his eyes in despair, and then said with a trembling Adam’s apple: “Perhaps Duan Shaoheng is right, you are so pestering, but because there is no more suitable person around you.”
Yan Zixiu’s eyes became completely hollow, and his little persistence was completely crushed at this moment.
“Yan Zixiu, go and love others, this time…”
“I really want to forget you.”
****
More than two months later, Yan Zixiu joined the crew to shoot a new movie.
In this doomsday zombie film, he plays the leading actor Xiao Shu, while Duan Shaoheng plays the second leading actor.
Many viewers were disappointed with his resignation from the second part of Mountain and Sea Monster Hunter, which made many people look down on his new movie.
The director of this doomsday film is Chen Wei, who has been silent for many years, and has not released a new work for nearly ten years. This has led even people in the industry to think that the drama Yan Zixiu chose this time is bound to capsize.
Most of the film is action scenes, and all actors were required to do martial arts training in advance before filming started.
That day Yan Zixiu just walked out of the training ground, Duan Shaoheng followed closely and caught up.
“Brother Xiu, can we have dinner together tonight?”
Before Yan Zixiu could answer, two people suddenly appeared in front of them.
Duan Shaoheng originally thought it was someone from the Special Administration Bureau, but one of the men looked at Yan Zixiu with red eyes and said, “Xiao Wu, Master is back.”
