Mr. Yuan is Always Unhappy - Chap 3
Edited by Yummers
Yuan Rui got a few days of rest before his company called him to come over to see his new assistant. Aside from that, he also had to get his script for the idol drama he was going to film. They also notified him of the time and place for his acting crash course.
The last time he sent his assistant back, the company had asked what he was dissatisfied with. He said he didn’t want someone too handsome; his new assistant seriously had a plain ordinary look, the type that you wouldn’t be able to find if you threw him into a crowd of people.
“Don’t judge Xiao Zhao by his looks, he has a lot more experience than you.” The talent agent, Li Lingling introduced, “He used to be Liang Xi’s assistant. You know who Liang Xi is, right?”
Yuan Rui quickly nodded his head to reply, “I do. He lives right above me, I see him every other day.”
Li Lingling seemed a bit shocked. “Really? He left the company when his contract expired last year. I haven’t seen him since.”
Yuan Rui fished out his phone album to show her. “I met him in the elevator just a few days ago, I even asked him to take a picture with me.”
Li Lingling turned to look as she kept speaking, “You shouldn’t grovel too much around him either. Even if you aren’t as famous as he is, you guys are all in the same industry…What is this?!”
Yuan Rui panicked as he swiped to the back of his album, he explained awkwardly, “Wrong one, wrong one. That’s not it.”
Li Lingling roared at him, “Hurry up and delete them all! Get them permanently deleted from your iCloud as well! If you lose your phone or if your account gets hacked by someone, you might as well just go hang yourself!” She was from Shanghai so sometimes when she got mad, her dialect would come out unexpectedly.
Yuan Rui lowered his head in embarrassment as he said, “I’m not that famous, no one would hack me…”
Li Lingling’s face was flushed red. No one could really tell if she was mad over her artist’s naiveness or embarrassed from seeing the nudes.
Yun Chang Jewelry Company
Zheng Qiuyang was currently playing games and slacking off at work when he suddenly received the pictures Yuan Rui sent. Instantly, he felt energy surging into him and he immediately called back. Yuan Rui asked from the other end, “Did you get the pictures? Save them.”
Zheng Qiuyang sniffed his nose that’d heated a little. “Yuan Xiao Rui, you’ve become naughty.”

“P gfjiis kjrc’a lclaljalcu jcsatlcu!”
Zheng Qiuyang continued with his own play. “Should we go to the hotel from last time? Their carpets are clean and they don’t itch, their french windows are big too.”
Yuan Rui was still trying to explain, “I really didn’t…”
Zheng Qiuyang cut him off, “Go wait outside your company, I’ll be there in a bit.”
Yuan Rui, who purely just didn’t want to delete them all for good, replied after his useless efforts at trying to explain, “Then…alright.”
Once they hung up, Zheng Qiuyang put on his jacket at lighting speed, grabbed his keys, and left in a hurry. No one in the company questioned his whereabouts.
His dad was old enough and didn’t want to work hard every day, so he resigned the year before. His jewelry company was now under the direction of his older brother, Zheng Shaoyang. The two brothers who had the same father but different mothers weren’t too close, instead, they both detested each other just a bit. Good thing that Zheng Qiuyang never had any desire for the family fortune. All he did was sketch jewelry designs every day, resembling a slouch who got by every day carelessly. Zheng Shaoyang didn’t pay him much attention either.
Yuan Rui got his script and told his new assistant, “Zhao Zhengyi, I’m going home now. You don’t have to be with me in the afternoon, I got plans with a friend of mine.”
Zhao Zhengyi quickly replied, “Yuan-Ge, no need to be so formal. You can just call me Xiao Zhao. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning, class starts at nine-thirty so we should leave around eight forty. Do you need me to call you ahead of time to wake you up?”
“I can get up myself. Did Lingling-Jie give you my address?”
Zhao Zhengyi smiled in return. “At the Golden Wall, right? I’m super familiar with the place.”
Yuan Rui smiled with him. “Right, you were Liang Xi’s assistant before, he lives there too.”
Zhao Zhengyi grinned, it made him seem a bit silly.
Yuan Rui kind of wanted to gossip about Liang Xi with him, but since they’d only just met each other, it didn’t seem like a good thing to do. So he only said, “I still have a lot of things to learn. You’re my senior in this field, I’ll be troubling you to take care of me in the future.” Once he finished, he bowed sincerely.
Zhao Zhengyi jumped back a few steps from the shocking humbleness of the other. He spoke nervously, “Yuan-Ge, don’t do that. I’m just a mere assistant.”
Yuan Rui stood up straight to say, “I’m also just a mere celebrity.”
Zhao Zhengyi was a bit moved by the honesty in his pure eyes. He replied sincerely, “More people will come to like you in the future, you’ll become a famous celebrity.”
Yuan Rui was embarrassed. “That won’t happen. The audience can be blind for a moment, but they won’t be for their whole lives.”
“……”
After quickly finishing lunch, Yuan Rui and Zheng Qiuyang rolled around the carpet that didn’t itch.
The dessert after their meal was too delicious, so the nap that day was especially sweet and hearty as well. Zheng Qiuyang was still recycling through his awesome dream of flying through the sky on a pegasus when he was woken up by a great force shaking him.
“We have to go home and sleep. If we don’t check out now, we’re going to be charged for the whole day.” Yuan Rui sat beside him with his clothes all tidied up. “Hurry hurry, put your clothes on.”
“……”
Yuan Rui spread out his shirt before handing it to him. He said with a bitter face, “Let’s not come here next time. It’s too luxurious to spend money to do it.”
Zheng Qiuyang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He replied stubbornly, “Didn’t you say your waist was about to break? Instead of resting, your mind is on something else?”
Yuan Rui’s face wrinkled even more. “It’s really about to break. You were doing it too hard, plus, you’re already so big to begin with.”
Now that Zheng Qiuyang’s pride as a man had been satisfied, he swallowed back the mouthful of blood quietly.
Yuan Rui stood up as he massaged his own waist. “The company assigned me a new assistant, not handsome at all.”
Zheng Qiuyang put on his shirt and pants swiftly. He stood on the bed as he buckled his belt while saying, “Good, that way you won’t drool all over their looks again.”
Yuan Rui helped pull the end of his shirt a bit, then proceeded to stare at his muscles with a starry-eyed expression.
Zheng Qiuyang felt it was funny. He looked at him while squatting on the bed and said in a serious manner, “You’re getting more and more popular. When the paparazzi starts to follow you around every day in the future, we won’t have many chances to spend money on it. So we should cherish it while we can, each time is worth it.”
Yuan Rui’s eyebrows furrowed, he comforted the other by saying, “It’s fine, my fame will die down sooner or later.”
“……”
He was so cute that Zheng Qiuyang felt his whole body quivering, he reached out his arms to take the other into an embrace, wanting to kiss him.
Yuan Rui struggled against it. “Hurry up and put on your socks and shoes! It’s almost time!”
