Their dormitory wasn’t far from the company and was in a newly built apartment building.
That night, Qin Qing sent them to their apartment, and before leaving, he told them: “If you go out, remember not to go too far. Some of you are underage and shouldn’t drink alcohol.”
After saying that, he turned around, raised his hand, and left.
Guan Yiyun glanced at Qin Qing’s back while the other three boys muttered as they walked in:
“Is his direction Tongshen New Village?”
“I think so. He lives in a basement, so it’s impossible to live in Shang Linglong”
“Ah, it’s too miserable. I’m afraid I’ll be like him in future.”
“Did you see the shoes he was wearing?”
“Yeah, the local type.”
“Alas….Brother Yi? ”
Guan Yiyun listened to them talk about the new assistant and frowned
Someone asked: “What’s the matter? ”
Guan Yiyun: “It’s nothing. ”
After getting on the elevator, Guan Yiyun said: “How many kettles do we have in the dormitory?”
“Several, I think.”
Meanwhile, Qin Qing had already walked to Tongshen New Village.
This was an old neighborhood. The houses were low and dilapidated, yet it was crowded and busy, especially by the many small shops facing the street.
Qin Qing had printed his resume here before. Now he was walking by and happened to buy some fruit. After buying the fruit, he went to collect some snacks and carried them back.
Walking was lazy and comfortable and It was even better when the cool air blew at night.
Qin Qing felt that this was already very good, that the rhythm of this life was appropriate. He worked during the day, rested at night, ate whatever he wanted, didn’t have to work overtime to socialize, and had nothing to worry about.
Even in this city where he had stayed for many years in his previous life, he had the leisure to stroll and observe. At this time, most of B City was still under construction, and there were still many old local buildings.
There was a large area of urban villages, and across the road were newly built overheads and shopping malls. Here there were many shops and people.
Qin Qing worked hard in his previous life. From a waiter serving dishes to a partner in a cultural company. He only cared about what this city could bring him, and never paid attention to anything else.
Now walking around slowly, he found that B City was actually very beautiful, and there was a unique sparkle that belonged to this city.
It was very down-to-earth and reassuring.
Qin Qing then sped up, and after leaving the old village, he passed through an underground passage to Linglong Square, which was separated by an archway.
There was a large shopping mall on the square. People were going in and out of the mall and it was as lively as that old village just now.
Qin Qing walked through the square with his own food. He glanced around and saw a huge advertisement for a luxury brand on the wall outside the mall.
In the advertisement, was their spokesperson for this season.
Glancing at the spokesperson, Qin Qing paused. He was not only surprised but also felt a little strange. The spokesperson turned out to be Su Zhihe!?
Su Zhihe hasn’t stopped yet!?
Right, it’s only year xx20 now.
Su Zhihe, this year hadn’t retired yet.
Qin Qing stood in front of it and looked at the man in the advertisement. A subtle feeling slowly rose in his heart.
In his last life, when he first came to B City, he worked in a hotel and was focused on making money. He didn’t know any stars yet.
When he entered the entertainment industry and started from the bottom again, he only heard of many big shots but never had the chance to see them.
After becoming an agent, he was able to see the world. He had seen all the top actors and actresses, but never saw Su Zhihe.
Later, Film emperor Su disappeared from the circle and didn’t show up on any occasion. Not to talk of seeing him, there were only rumors related to this person in the whole entertainment industry.
Now seeing Su Zhihe in the advertisement, Qin Qing felt very happy in his heart. When he thought that this actor was still there at this time, it once again confirmed that this was the point in time when everything had just started.
He smiled at the man in the advertisement, then turned around, and left.
The next day, when Qin Qing got to work. As soon as he arrived at the training room, he was stuffed with a hot water kettle.
After the youngest of the four boys stuffed the kettle, he crossed his waist with one hand, scratched his head with the other, and looked to the side of the room: “That, we have a lot in our dormitory, and we don’t need it. You can have it.”
Qin Qing looked at the kettle in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
The boy looked embarrassed and he was still scratching his head after speaking. when he stopped, he quickly said he was going to train and turned around to run away.
Qin Qing was a little surprised and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he carried the hot water kettle.
Well, he’ll just put it in the office first.
At least, this showed that what he said to them yesterday was useful.
The whole morning was peaceful.
The four boys were in drama class, and Qin Qing sat in the corner of the training room looking at their materials and training records.
At noon, the five people ate together.
The four boys were not familiar with Qin Qing, but there was a kettle that expressed concern, so the distance was not too far again (t/n: closeness). Not to mention that they are the same age.
A boy asked: “was the kettle easy to use?” ”
Qin Qing: “Yes, thank you. ”
Another boy: “It was actually from Brother Yi. ”
Qin Qing looked at Guan Yiyun. Guan Yiyun was sitting on the floor eating. He was startled when he heard those words and raised his leg to kick the boy: “If you don’t speak, you won’t die!”
The boy muttered: “You don’t dare to admit it. ”
Guan Yiyun had a thorny expression: “dare to? ”
The boy changed mouth: “Why don’t you admit it? ”
(t/n change mouth: to change tune/words.)
Guan Yiyun stared: “What did I not admit. Am I the one that said nonsense?”1ran my mouth/been forward
Boy: “Oh. ”
Qin Qing looked amused and said it again, specifically to Guan Yiyun: “Thank you.”
Guan Yiyun, as if afraid of people knowing that it came from him and or people thinking that it was out of concern, argued: “That was originally an extra, it’s the same as throwing it away.”
Qin Qing: “well, thank you. ”
Guan Yiyun said: “Thank you for what? It’s unnecessary to say that. ”
Qin Qing: “Well, thank you. ”
Guan Yiyun: “…..”
Teenage boys are thin-skinned and temperamental. They love to flex their teeth and claws and are also a bit rebellious and always want to be contradictory. Qin Qing understands all that.
He could see that these boys were just a little bit thin-skinned, but they weren’t malicious to others.
It can also be seen that amongst them, Guan Yiyun was regarded as half the boss.
Not only because Guan Yiyun was a little older, but also because he knew a lot, had more ideas, liked to take the lead and make decisions.
Of course, the temper was also not small.
Qin Qing was only on his second day of work but had to deal with another trouble caused by Guan Yiyun before now.
It was said that he fought with a colleague in the company and beat the other party to the point that they didn’t come to work for a few days.
In the past few days, the assistant had changed, and the management head of the company had also returned from a business trip. The colleague who had been beaten and rested for a few days had also brought various medical bills to the company for accountability.
Now that the boss was ready to deal with this matter, a colleague told Qin Qing to take Guan Yiyun upstairs.
Qin Qing thought for a while, and asked on the phone: “Why did they fight?”
Colleague: “Xiao Li, who was beaten up, gossiped about a star that Xiao Guan liked. It was a bit unpleasant. He happened to be heard by him at the elevator door, and so Xiao Guan took action.”
Colleague: “It was nothing at first, just grabbing the collar and pushing a few times. His attitude was definitely not good and they didn’t really fight, but Xiao Li took it seriously. He kept saying that he was injured and went to the hospital for several days. After several days of treatment, he’s come back to bother Director Yuan again, which is a bit troublesome.”
With that, Qin Qing said: “Okay, I see.”
Qin Qing went to the training room and called Guan Yiyun.
Guan Yiyun was very smart. With that milky grey hair, he guessed it at once: “That idiot has come to the company. ”
Qin Qing asked the other three boys to continue their training and took Guan Yiyun out. He didn’t say anything at first. When he got to the elevator door, he pressed the button and said: “I just entered the company. I’m just an assistant and can’t help you. ”
Guan Yiyun was taken aback and looked at Qin Qing: “I didn’t ask you to help me. ”
Qin Qing: “You kindly gave me a kettle, so I have to give you something back. ”
Guan Yiyun was young at heart. When he heard those words, he stuck his hands into his ripped jeans, and looked indifferent: “What does that have to do with this? I said it was an extra kettle”
However, the intention was not just an idle thought.
Qin Qing could feel it. He was able to distinguish good from bad.
If someone treats him well, he has no reason to just accept it and not give something back.
After all, this life was not the previous life. In the previous life, there was only fighting and scheming in order to get ahead and climb up. But in this life, Qin Qing wants to slow down and be a little more steady. He wants to experience the wonders in the world, even if it was unfriendly.
So he ignored Guan Yiyun’s indifference and suggested: “You can listen to me, or you can ignore it. That’s up to you. Anyway, as an assistant, I can’t stand up for you in front of the boss. ”
Guan Yiyun: “What is it? ”
Qin Qing: “There is a way to help you deceive them and get through this in front of the boss. ”
Guan Yiyun listened.
Qin Qing: “But you have to first tell me which celebrity that colleague gossiped about, and what he said.”
Guan Yiyun frowned.
Qin Qing didn’t ask again but glanced at the floor the elevator had reached.
After a while, Guan Yiyun gritted his teeth: “Su Zhihe, he mentioned Su Zhihe. ”
Qin Qing was taken aback.
He seemed to really hate even mentioning it and his voice was as quiet as a mosquito: “He said Su Zhihe was a plug-in. A human waste and a dead gay man. ”
Qin Qing: “…”
Ten minutes later, in the Director’s office.
Director Yuan sat behind his desk and on the guest sofa that was in front of the table, Guan Yiyun sat on one side, while the beaten man sat on the other. Standing next to Qin Qing was the man with glasses who had interviewed him.
It was only then that Qin Qing learned that the man with glasses was the person in charge of the HR department in the company. Because of the company’s limited business, the company only set up a few departments. The four trainees were not under the management of any department but are the direct responsibility of Director Yuan.
This time Guan Yiyun hit a colleague in the company, and Director Yuan could only personally handle it while accompanied by a Personnel supervisor.
Qin Qing brought Guan Yiyun up and when he was about to leave, Director Yuan saw that he was a newcomer and purposely asked a few things and didn’t tell him to leave after asking, so Qin Qing just stayed.
After a few minutes, the beaten colleague began to complain, saying that he went for an examination after being beaten. Although there was no problem with the bones; it was all internal injuries. It hurts here, it hurts there, and his heart was also traumatized.
The meaning of those words: Director Yuan, you have to do something about this for me!
Director Yuan had a terrible headache. He slapped his hand heavily on the table and asked Guan Yiyun: “How do you think. You don’t train properly yet you still beat people?”
The colleague who was beaten picked up a plastic zipper bag that contained the medical records and bills and patted it on the coffee table. He looked at Guan Yiyun: “What do you have to say now! ”
The personnel supervisor pushed up his glasses: “Xiao Li.” Xiao Li was the colleague who was beaten. “If you have something to say, let’s talk about it. Don’t be angry. You see, you just came out of the hospital. You have to take care of your health. Now is not the time to be angry. We are here to solve the problem.”
He looked at Guan Yiyun who had been silent all this time: “Xiao Guan is young and impulsive.”
Xiao Li: “He can hit people on impulse? Can I beat him too if I am impulsive?”
Normally, Guan Yiyun would have already spoken out by now: Hit me? Come on, come on! See who hits who today! If you dare to do it, see if Laozi can’t beat you to death!
t/n: laozi: I, your father; I (arrogant manner). I always interpret it as ‘i, your (almighty) father…lol
However, at this moment, Guan Yiyun remained motionless. His eyes were downcast, and he didn’t say a word.
When everyone saw that Guan Yiyun didn’t speak, they thought he was unwilling and embarrassed to speak so they became more vocal.
Xiao Li: “Can’t speak? You were very fierce when you hit me!”
Personnel supervisor: “Xiao Guan? Don’t keep silent, say something. Or do you apologize first? ”
Director Yuan: “Huh, you have no face now? Where did it go when you were hitting someone? Let you train well, don’t mess up things, look at you…”
Suddenly, Guan Yiyun raised his voice and bent over to bury his head in his lap, and sobbed.
This cry shocked everyone except Qin Qing.
After Guan Yiyun wailed for a few moments, he leaned up and stretched out his hand towards Qin Qing who was beside the sofa.
The corner of Qin Qing’s mouth twitched as he took a step forward and hugged Guan Yiyun.
After hugging, Guan Yiyun, with his clumsy and immature acting said to Qin Qing in a tearful voice: “Assistant Qin, I’m so sorry Ah, ohh ohhhh ”
…….Before going upstairs………
Guan Yiyun: “Crying? Really? ”
Qi Qin nodded: “Don’t believe that a man can’t shed tears lightly. You are only nineteen. In the eyes of the adults, you are still a half-year-old child. It’s most useful for children to cry. When they cry, even a difficult matter will be settled. ”
However, Qin Qing didn’t expect that Guan Yiyun’s acting skills would be this exaggerated. But even so, this crying still had its uses.
Now that Guan Yiyun buried his head (on Qin Qing), no one could see his face, so they all turned to look at Qin Qing.
“……”
Qin Qing could only take over the acting. He patted Guan Yiyun on the shoulder and put on a soothing look, while saying: “It’s okay, it’s okay, Director Yuan and the others are here, don’t be afraid. ”
Xiao Li: “Scared? Is he still afraid of hitting someone?
Qin Qing: “Just say what you have to say, and the leaders will deal with it fairly. ”
Director Yuan: Fair. of course fair.
Wasn’t it you, a boy of more than 1.8 meters, who’s crying like this?
But crying was useful. Whoever cries was weak, and whoever was weak was justified. This world was unfair and unreasonable.
And with Guan Yiyun’s muffled description in a crying voice, the rotten words that Xiao Li spewed out were even more disgusting.
Who talked bad about Su Zhihe?
Director Yuan’s headache got bigger as he heard this. He frowned at Xiao Li: “What’s wrong with you? Su Zhihe likes men and women, does it have anything to do with you?”
He was wrong to say false things about someone’s matter behind their back, but he was also only talking about Su Zhihe, not Guan Yiyun; so why was he beaten?
Xiao Li argued: “If Su Zhihe hits me now, I’ll accept it, but why do others beat me?” So you can do it if it’s to stand up for your idol??
Guan Yiyun suddenly howled louder.
Everyone: “…”
Director Yuan’s eardrum hurt: “Alright! Alright! Stop crying!”
Guan Yiyun kept going.
Director Yuan immediately raised his hand and motioned to Qin Qing: “You take him downstairs. Downstairs! ”
Seeing that he was going to let Guan Yiyun go, Xiao Li opened his eyes wide: “Director Yuan! ”
Director Yuan frowned and tapped his finger on the table.
This was not a big deal at first. He has seen the surveillance. Guan Yiyun did move his hand, but he didn’t hit anyone at all. There was not even a scratch. So the report, internal injury, or trauma were all bullshit.
Now he has a headache because this one was crying, but the other one was fine. What was there to catch.
The company reimburses medical expenses and the like, so if you don’t go to work for a few days, your salary will not be deducted, and if you add some nutrition expenses, it will be settled.
Director Yuan persuaded Xiao Li: “Okay, what do want to argue about with a child. Don’t you see he’s crying? ”
………………….
In the corridor outside the office.
As soon as he came out, Guan Yiyun immediately turned his head and looked back: “We’ve really muddled through it? (t/n: succeeded) ”
Qin Qing looked down at the small wet patch on the hem of his clothes: “Did you really cry? ”
Guan Yiyun: “Saliva. ”
Walking to the elevator, Guan Yiyun touched his neck: “Thank you for today. ”
Qin Qing curled his lips: “You’re welcome. ”
That night, in the dormitory of the apartment building, one of the boys went to take a shower, one played games, and the other sat on the floor and read comics; Guan Yiyun laid on the bed and sent a message to his brother.
Guan Yiyun: I got a new assistant.
His brother: Hmm.
Guan Yiyun talked about how he got away with it under the advice of his new assistant during the day.
After saying that, he sent again: It’s just a pity.
Su Zhihe: What’s a pity?
Guan Yiyun: He is only eighteen, and he is one year younger than me. I gave him a kettle, and he gave me some advice. He’s very loyal. He’s just too poor and lives in a basement room. This broken company only pays him a salary of 1800. He can’t even afford to eat, so he can only eat cold water-soaked rice.
Guan Yiyun: Brother, if this broken company collapses one day, let him go to your place.
