Rebirth of the Little Actor Chapter 1 – “Headache.” An Xing covered his chest, pitifully.
“An Xing? Can you hear me?”
“His fingers seem to be moving.”
“Make some room, it looks like he’s waking up.”
“……”
An Xing’s eyes snapped open and he sprang up from the bed in a flash. Scattered bits of conversation reached his ears, but he couldn’t be bothered to comprehend what it meant, his memory was still stuck in the excruciating pain of his body being nearly crushed.
The teenager arched up, gripping the edge of the bed with fingers so hard they turned white and still shaking violently. The crowd, which had been slightly dispersed, instantly tensed, but did not dare to rush forward. The man standing beside the bed immediately bent down and grabbed the teenager’s shoulders to support him.
“An Xing? Are you alright? Take a deep breath!”
An Xing followed that voice and took a deep breath, and only after a long time could he suppress that dizzy and nauseous energy, gasping for breath and looking up, he looked at the person in front of him for a moment and hesitantly said:
“…… Brother Yang?”
The teenager’s straight nose and curved plump forehead was covered with cold sweat all around, his lips were white, and those light brown eyes had a water vapor in them, and there was undissolved panic and bewilderment when he looked over. Brother Yang’s heart flinched at the sight and helped the teenager lean against the bed.
“Why did you pass out for no reason, didn’t rest well last night?”
The teenager blinked and looked at him and then looked around in silence. Brother Yang simply assumed that An Xing was still disoriented and reminded him:
“Confused? On our way to lunch, you suddenly fainted and fell down the stairs, so we brought you to the infirmary……. Remember what day of the week it is today?”
Seeing that An Xing still looked dazed, brother Yang asked jokingly, but seeing that the teenager froze, and when he really did, he looked for his cell phone.
Brother Yang: ……
Looking at the date displayed on the screen, An Xing was filled with shock and disbelief.
He is the only son of the An family, and has been pampered since he was a child, being the young master of a powerful family for twenty years, his life has not been unsatisfactory. Until a month later, when he learned that he had been carried by a wrong person twenty years ago.
Of course An Xing was sad and unable to accept it, and so were the An family couple. But they were both sensible people, and after the initial sadness and shock, they wanted to get in touch with that real child of the An family.
It was just that, around the time he lost his cool on the day the truth came to light, the real young master became estranged from them.
He didn’t want to be in the real young master’s way, so he stayed at home and avoided any place where the real young master was present, but he made a mess of things and spread rumors that the real young master was ruthless and couldn’t tolerate him. The An family wanted to make it up to the real young master, but he was too cold-hearted to meet with them.
Feeling that this is not good for them, An Xing decided to go and talk to the real young master on his own, but he got into a car accident on the way.
When he opened his eyes again, he went back to a month or so ago, when the truth hadn’t yet come out. He was interning at his family’s jewelry company, and the days were still quiet.
An Xing was a bit confused.
At this moment, the others in the room gathered around.
“An Xing are you okay, just now you fell down the stairs, scared everyone to death.”
“Yeah, luckily Old Yang grabbed you, otherwise you would have fallen straight into the hospital!”
“Your lips are so white, quickly go home and rest ……”
The concern of his coworkers in a flurry of words brought An Xing back to his senses, he forced a smile and was about to speak when a young man’s voice came from the doorway.
“Who wants to go home and rest?”
Hearing this familiar voice, An Xing gave a start and looked at the man who walked in the doorway. The man was young and elegant, with the appearance of a flamboyant gentleman, but there was an undisguised arrogance under his eyes when he looked at people.
This man was his second uncle’s son, his cousin, An Hao.
The teenager nestled on the bed in a daze, seemingly still uncomfortable, and did not open his mouth. Brother Yang glanced at An Xing and said towards the visitor:
“An Xing is not feeling well, we are saying for him to go home and rest for a while, young Mr. An.”
An Hao frowned and glanced over, An Xing clearly saw the disdain and disgust under those eyes and his heart sank.
An Hao gave An Xing an impatient look and said with a stern face:
“No, that marketing plan you handed in today is not up to par, it must be rewritten.”
This meant that An Xing was not allowed to go back and rest. Several coworkers’ faces changed, but they could not say anything, and only Brother Yang frowned. He was about to speak when his sleeve was tugged and he subconsciously turned back.
The pale-faced teenager leaned back softly, and when he lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes fluttered lightly like fragile butterfly wings.
“Headache.”
An Xing covered his chest, pitifully.
Brother Yang: ……
The teenager’s face is already small, and his looks are very striking. He usually sits obediently and is very pleasing to the eye, but now that he is weakly covering his chest and saying that he has a headache, all the people’s hearts are softened, except for An Hao, who has a heart of stone.
“The task assigned to you is not completed, do you want to go home and rest? Do you think this is worthy of the efforts of the others?”
An Xing grimaced. He hadn’t fainted in the company in his previous life, but it wasn’t the first time he had heard similar words.
He was hiding his identity to enter An Ning Jewelry internship, but An Hao is different. After graduating from undergraduate school, he came in with the name of “General Manager An’s nephew”, and became a team leader in the marketing department in just two years, and was also called “Little General Manager An”, and is now his immediate superior.
In his past life, after he came in for internship, An Hao often assigned work that is far beyond his current ability. If he does well, it means that An Hao is competent. If he does not do well, it means that he does not work hard enough. However, An Hao pretended to be decent, and An Xing never doubted it. He thought that his cousin was doing it for his own good, to push him to make progress.
Later, the matter of the real and fake young master came out, and An Hao no longer hid his hatred towards him, humiliating him in all kinds of ways, as if he was staying in the An family to shamelessly covet the money of the An family……. At that time, An Xing realized that An Hao never took him as a younger brother, and even more so, he took the An family as his own possession. And during the internship all kinds of “guidance/teaching”, in fact, is to let the company people after knowing his identity, identify him as a useless vase, and is not as good as An Hao to inherit the An Ning Jewelry.
The An family owes An Hao a trophy for this kind of acting.
In his previous life, when An Xing was pushed around a few times, he might have endured it in silence, not bothering to take a break even if he was unwell, but instead listened to his cousin’s words and worked hard as a stupid little chicken.
But the one who came back from rebirth was no longer the same An Xing as before!
The teenager leaning against the head of the bed’s eyes reddened and he sniffled, obviously so aggrieved that he was about to cry out, but he still pretended to be strong and smiled.
“Then I will go back to write the program in a while …… will listen to my cousin.”
Crowd: ……
Crowd: huh????
An Hao’s face instantly changed, and subconsciously blurted out.
“Don’t call out carelessly!”
The teenager’s eyes turned even redder, “…… Little General Manager An.”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the surprised and uncertain expressions of the people around him, An Xing’s pent-up breath was finally smoothed out, and it was worth the tears he held back from pinching his thigh. Already blurted out but then changed his words, anyone who listens will suspect that there is something inside.
Although he was reborn before the truth came to light, An Xing is not willing to be the one who took over the magpie’s nest, he and the real young master still have to return to their own place. Only, it was not possible to leave like a defeated dog, and he was even more unwilling to be used as a stepping stone for An Hao, and he would simply not allow An Hao to step on him to climb up.
The first step in stopping An Hao from stepping on himself to get to the top: announcing his identity and interrupting the other party from casting spells to hold his move.
And at this moment, the other people in the room did have crazy drums in the bottom of their hearts.
An Ning Jewelry was an enterprise of the An family, and it was well known that there were only two children in the next generation of the An family, one was An Hao, and there was also the son of President An who was in college. In private, everyone rumors that Mr. An’s son is incompetent, and is not capable of taking on a big responsibility, that’s why Mr. An Hao has entered the company. In the future, An Ning Jewelry will probably be taken over by An Hao.
But just now, An Xing called An Hao “cousin”? After being reprimanded by An Hao, he changed his name to “Little General Manager An”.
If An Xing is the son of Mr. An who went to college……the circle of the rich family is really complicated!
Watching the crowd frantically exchanging glances, An Hao’s face finally became uncontrollably ugly.
Before An Xing came in for his internship, he tricked An Xing into concealing his identity through the mouths of bystanders, so that he didn’t have to be special, and secondly, he was able to use his own strength rather than his identity to gain recognition from bystanders. An Xing’s character is simple and trusts him as a cousin, so he really agreed. This week, An Hao tested several times, and even more excessive words than today have been said, but An Xing did not say anything.
How is it that today, this stupid bastard suddenly dropped the chain!
An Hao had long since dropped his guard, and because he was caught off guard, he reacted in a way that instead appeared to be a cover-up. Seeing that the others were already skeptical, An Hao only had to change the choice of alternatives, easing his tone and saying:
“Forget it, if you’re really uncomfortable, then go back and rest. As for that marketing program, with your current ability, you really can’t write it. After you understand the company better and do more practical things, I’ll teach you to write a feasible one.”
If this person wasn’t scheming against himself, An Xing simply wanted to give An Hao a round of applause. Listen, in a single sentence, he bypassed the sensitive topic of identity, pointed out that he was not capable enough, and did not know the company well enough, so the program he wrote was not feasible, and implied that he was at a higher level.
It’s almost like saying “I’m more suitable to inherit the company compared to you,”
An Xing pursed her lips, and was quickly thinking of countermeasures in his head, when the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Everyone’s attention was immediately diverted and they subconsciously looked towards the doorway before their eyes widened.
“Mr. An!”
An Xing also saw the man at the door, although the man was middle-aged, his figure was well maintained, he was tall and straight, his face was resolute and handsome, at this time he came in a hurry and yet he was a bit nervous, when he looked at him, he was full of worry and love.
This person is the president of An Ning Jewelry, An Zhaoming, is also his father …… adoptive father.
“Xingxing ah, I heard that you fainted, what’s going on?”
An Zhaoming quickly stepped forward, and after blurting out his words, he remembered that his son was trying to hide his identity, and he immediately froze. He was thinking about how to remedy the situation, but then he saw his son on the bed tilting his head with a grievous face.
“Dad!”
An Zhaoming’s face instantly sank.
