I want to have a normal campus romance

Just as I was looking at the venue and thinking about how to apologize to Xia Xiaoyao when I left, I suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered in the venue in front, as if there was some dispute.

I saw a few crew members arguing with a man in a suit. I didn't know what those crew members looked familiar to me. They should be the ones who shot the cover of the MV last time. However, the man in the suit... looked like Assistant Qian who drove a Bentley whom I met not long ago.

"Assistant Qian, it's not that we don't want to follow the head office's arrangements. It's just that the personnel list has been finalized and there's no way to change it."

"Yes, this MV is originally Miss Xia's album MV. If we follow the arrangement of the head office, then the expenditure on the film remuneration will be far higher than the original budget."

After hearing the explanations from several people, Assistant Qian seemed very dissatisfied. Looking at the increasing number of people gathering around him, his expression was a little unnatural, and he shouted to the people around him:

"What? What? Don't you have to work?"

When I heard what he said, I thought to myself, this guy called Assistant Qian is so arrogant, isn't he afraid that the crew will go on strike? Although the faces of the people around him were full of displeasure, no one stood up to say anything, and there was not much surprise in their eyes, as if they had long been accustomed to this.

But Assistant Qian didn't buy it. After looking around, he suddenly fixed his eyes on me. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but more of it was pride.

"Look, how did you guys manage the security? How did you let an outsider into the crew?"

"Assistant Qian...that's not an outsider. He's the male lead of our crew."

Assistant Qian was stunned when he heard what the person next to him said. The smug look on his face froze, and he was followed by various looks from other people. Seeing this, I thought to myself that I was unlucky to have witnessed such a thing.

Although I can choose to play dumb and run away, this will not only fail to solve any problems, but may also cause others to look down on me. Besides, this is not my style.

Fortunately, I am the leading male actor in the crew and I didn’t sneak in. What is there to be afraid of?

Besides, I’m not afraid of those who wear shoes if I’m barefoot. Anyway, I’m not going to be in the entertainment industry in the future, so why should I be afraid of him?

Thinking of this, I instantly felt a little more confident. I chose the right moment and said something. Although my voice was not loud, it was definitely loud enough for everyone to hear clearly.

"Hello, Assistant Qian, I'm the lead actor of the crew - Lin Ran."

I could clearly see a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at me, but that look disappeared in a flash. When he saw me coming over, a hypocritical smile instantly appeared on his face and he extended his hand to me.

"Mr. Lin, right? Excuse me... I heard that the crew had found a male lead. How offensive. I wonder... Which college did Mr. Lin graduate from? Which agency does he work for?"

I see. No wonder he was so respectful to me all of a sudden. It turned out that he didn't know my background and didn't dare to speak casually. He wanted to find out more about me first and then make the best decision.

So I didn't respond to his question, but instead asked him back in a confident manner:

"Assistant Qian, aren't you going to introduce yourself first?"

"Ahem, I'm the assistant manager of Moqian Group, my last name is Qian."

Seeing that his tricks didn't work, he coughed twice to ease his embarrassment. Although he looked unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything because he saw that I was very confident. He even handed me a business card while talking.

After hearing his words, I instantly understood why he dared to talk to people around him like that. I had heard of the Moqian Group, which was well-known not only in Jinhai City but also in the whole country. However, the person in charge of the Moqian Group was much more low-key than his company.

"Well, may I ask you..."

He asked hesitantly. His respectful look at this moment formed a sharp contrast with his arrogant look just now, like a "chameleon".

I smiled at this and said to him slowly:

"Oh, I don't have an agency. I'm a college student at Jinhai University."

Chapter 63: Why don’t you call yourself a young man out of anger?

No more pretending, I’m showing off my cards!

After all, even if I didn't say it, he would keep testing my bottom line. Instead of engaging in some inexplicable verbal battle with him, it is better to just confront him directly. At least I can still see his wonderful expression.

Sure enough, after he heard what I said, his smiling face immediately froze, and even the muscles on his face twitched a few times, making his expression a little distorted at this moment.

When the people around him saw him like this, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly, but there were still a few guys who had not received special training who laughed out loud.

It seemed that he felt that he had lost face in front of others. Assistant Qian's face turned red. He no longer looked respectful and gentlemanly. He was just like a chameleon who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

"You fool me?"

"What? Is there something wrong with the way I introduced myself? Or maybe you would be more satisfied if I said that I graduated from Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy and work for some giant entertainment company?"

As I said this, I smiled and spread my hands towards him. Looking at his frustrated look, I instantly felt much better physically and mentally.

If you hold back for a while, you will get angrier. If you take a step back, you will lose more. It's not that I don't know how to read people's faces, but this is the score situation. If others are pushing you and want to hit you in the face, do you still smile and extend the other cheek to let him hit you more happily?

As for whether I would offend him, I didn't care. After all, I was just a temporary worker who would leave after finishing the work, and the person who paid me was Xia Xiaoyao, not him, so why should I be afraid of him?

As I said this, many of the people around me showed disgusted expressions, and Assistant Qian seemed to realize something and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"You! You can do it! You have guts!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

"Young people, don't be too arrogant!"

"Why don't you call me young in anger?"

It was obvious that Assistant Qian had been flattered by others and had never encountered such a situation. I guess if we were not in a public place, he would have started to curse. Of course, as a Zaun pianist, I am not afraid.

"I'm telling you! The entertainment industry is so small. Believe it or not, if I send a message to every group, you won't be able to continue working in this industry!"

When I heard his words, I was instantly happy, nodded towards him and said:

"Then send it."

"send what?"

He was stunned when he heard what I said.

"Don't you want to send a message? Go ahead."

I shrugged indifferently and said, I'm just a temporary worker who would do a quick job and then leave. I had no plan to continue working in this field. Besides... I'm only a sophomore now, and it's still unclear whether he will still be working in this field when I graduate.

Oh...it’s so good to be young!

Assistant Qian choked after hearing what I said, and it seemed that he didn't expect that this trick didn't scare me.

"What? You didn't bring your phone? Do you need me to lend you mine?"

I said as I took a few steps forward, pulled my phone out of my pocket and handed him my phone.

"This this......"

Assistant Qian was a little confused about what I was saying, and he seemed to have realized that I was just a temporary worker who was outside the industry rules. He didn't buy into his words at all, and simply turned his gun around and shouted at the crew members next to him:

"Look at the kind of male actors you guys have hired. They have no respect for the leadership at all!"

When the big brother in the crew heard what Assistant Qian said, he was angry but couldn't say anything. There was even a hint of envy in his eyes when he looked at me, perhaps he was envious of me for being so free and easy.

"you..."

Before Assistant Qian could finish his words, I interrupted him harshly.

"What kind of leader are you? Let me tell you! Respect is mutual. Do you really think you are the best because you are a leader?"

Although I don't really like to meddle in other people's business, but seeing Assistant Qian's domineering attitude and the big brother of the crew bending over and nodding with a smile on his face, I felt more or less touched.

After all, the crew boss was probably only four or five years older than me, and he might not have graduated from college that long ago. Perhaps as I grow older and take on more responsibilities, I will slowly compromise with society. If that were the case, I might also hope that someone would stand up and speak for me.

"you!"

Assistant Qian pointed at me and wanted to say something but was speechless. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted "Well done!" and the crowd immediately responded. People around started clapping, and some took out their phones to take videos.

This made Assistant Qian, who had been pretending to be a haughty leader, suddenly embarrassed. He looked around and wanted to say something, but seeing the cell phone cameras all around him, he dared not say anything.

In the end, he simply left without saying a word, looking very embarrassed, but before leaving, he gave me a vicious look, as if to say, "Just you wait."

But I don't care about it. After all, by the time he comes to bother me again, I will have already finished this business and retired.

When some of the crew members around me saw this, they looked at me with a bit of kindness in their expressions, and their faces showed an expression of great revenge. It was obvious that they suffered a lot in their daily lives.

"Brother Lin, you are awesome! Qian Jiang was speechless just now because of what you said. I thought you were just a student and underestimated you."

"But I heard that Qian Jiang is the assistant of Manager Liao from the head office. Although Manager Liao is only a department manager, his position is not low. Moreover, he is from the head office. If you offend Qian Jiang like this, he might cause trouble for you in the future..."

I heard what a crew member next to me said, smiled at him, waved my hand and said:

"Hey, it's okay. I got into this business purely by accident. I may never do this again in the future. Why would he bother me then?"

The big brother from the crew who was scolded by Qian Jiang at the beginning looked at me with regret and sighed.

"You can work with a star like Miss Xia right from the start, and you can also get along well with a director like Director Yang. If you want to do this, your starting point must be high. Miss Xia is also very nice, and she often brings coffee and drinks to the crew."

When I heard what the big brother from the crew said, I didn't have any thoughts. After all, human luck is limited. I can't expect everything to develop smoothly as I imagined, so I didn't take his words to heart.

As an ordinary college student, I am already luckier than most people to be a leading actor in a film crew. If I ask for anything more, it would be a bit greedy.

But at this moment, the noisy crowd suddenly quieted down, and a group of men in suits and leather shoes filed in, with a middle-aged man with a beard in the front. Looking at this, I even thought that the crew of the next-door Dragon King, God of War, Shura, etc. had walked into the wrong set.

Just as I was guessing this person's identity, I suddenly found Qian Jiang following the middle-aged man with an obedient look on his face among the group of men in suits. This surprised me for a moment.

Holy shit? No way...

Isn't this trouble coming too quickly?

Chapter 64 Trading

Although I still had some hope in my heart, I felt that even retribution should not come so quickly, and I had only seen such a scene in TV dramas or promotional advertisements for third-rate novels.

But when I looked around, I didn't find any cameras. Most people had the same expression on their faces as I did. Only a few crew members with higher status next to me had serious looks on their faces.

"What happened?"

The dignified middle-aged man couldn't help but ask after seeing the situation around him. When Qian Jiang, who was following behind the team, heard his words, his eyes suddenly lit up. He hurried forward as if he had found a savior and said something to the middle-aged man.

However, after hearing Qian Jiang's words, the middle-aged man's face became gloomy and uncertain, and he shouted impatiently at the end:

"It's just nonsense!"

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Qian Jiang shuddered instantly and lowered his head to admit his mistake. However, the middle-aged man didn't seem to pay much attention to him, but walked slowly towards me.

"I'm Liao Tianli, the manager of Moqian Group. My assistant is always very quick and hasty in doing things. I didn't expect that there would be some misunderstandings here. I hope Mr. Lin doesn't mind."

I was a little confused for a moment, because I thought at first that his assistant was here to save face after being scolded by me. But I didn't expect that Manager Liao was very steady in his work, and he even handed me his business card.

It's just that what he said seemed impartial and fair, but in fact, it was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter and to forcibly define everything that had just happened as a misunderstanding in order to end the topic. Even if I was right at this point, I couldn't say anything.

I took the business card from him and found that he was indeed from the Moqian Group as he said. It contained not only his name, phone number, but also various other information including position.

"Mr. Lin, it's not convenient to talk here. How about we talk for a while?"

When I heard what Manager Liao said, I secretly sighed that this guy is really an old fox. He planned to capture the leader first. He knew that if I didn't leave, the people around him would continue to gather here, and the main cause of the instability was me.

Although I know that refusing is a good option, it will inevitably cause trouble for others. What's more, I believe that people like him definitely have a so-called back-up plan.

And from the look on his face, he really wanted to talk to me, and didn't seem like he was going to stand up for his assistant, so I didn't refuse and decided to see what he was up to.

Anyway, I'm just a temporary worker, so I'm not worried about him doing anything weird.

Manager Liao didn't say anything after hearing this, but took me to a small reception room. The reception room was not big, but it gave people a very comfortable and luxurious feeling. As Manager Liao closed the door, only he and I were left in the entire reception room.

"Lin Ran...Mr. Lin, I have long heard of your great name."

Just when I thought Manager Liao would use some clichéd words as his opening remarks, I never expected him to use these words as his opening remarks, but his tone did not contain much flattery or kind emotions.

"you know me?"

"Of course I know you. I believe there are few senior executives in the entire Moqian Group who don't know you."

Huh? When did I become so famous? Why didn't I know?

Could it be that the photo of my school's "Campus Hottest Student" has gone viral? Or has another paparazzi taken a photo of me?

When I heard what Manager Liao said, I was surprised. He smiled and said to me slowly:

"I believe you may not know the chairman of Moqian Group, but I believe you must know her daughter."

I was stunned when I heard what Manager Liao said, because I had always felt that the name of Moqian Group was constantly colliding with a name in my memory. After hearing his words, I reacted instantly.

In this case... that means Mo Yuhan is——

"Isn't that right, Mr. Lin?"

I just felt a thunderous sound behind me. Although I felt that the name Mo Qian Group was a bit subtle, I never thought that Mo Yuhan was actually the daughter of the chairman of Mo Qian Group!

What kind of international joke are you kidding?

Although I know that Mo Yuhan's father must be awesome, this is too exaggerated, it's simply too exaggerated! How can I continue to teach in the future?

"As for me... I know you are an ordinary college student. Although I don't know why Mr. Mo's daughter chose you, I believe you are also working for money, just like you came here to play the leading male role."

As he spoke, he pulled out a credit card from his suit shirt pocket and placed it on the coffee table in front of him with a "pop".
