T/N: Hiya guys!
Um, actually, I translated this chapter in a rush, double checked them in a rush too Orz
So, there might be some grammars and mistakes. I’m so sorry for the wait! *sweat*
Anyway, happy reading! (❁´◡`❁)
Shen Ran knows that Qi Xiaoyang died of depression, and judging from the current situation, his state of mind was already very bad.
He was bullied by Shen Ran, broke up with Qin Ke, and was threatened by the Qin family.
In the later stage, all his expectations were placed on his child, and he hopes that he can raise the child by his own ability.
It was a pity things didn’t turn out the way he wanted. He originally had a play and already been selected by the director, furthermore he was cooperating with the gold medal director.
However, the male lead of this play was Shen Jue. As soon as he saw Qi Xiaoyang’s name, he immediately had the director changed people.
Later, it was rumored that Qi Xiaoyang had offended Shen Jue, and no one dared to used him. He didn’t even get to play as a cameo1Raw 龙套(lóngtào); lit. dragon set. ¹Basically it describe [actor playing a walk-on part in Chinese old-style opera] : a costume worn by entourage or pawn in Chinese old-style opera , embroidered with dragon patterns. ²[utility man] : an actor who plays various supporting roles and also acts as a theater handyman, play a small role..
He himself suffered from severe depression, and when the last pack of milk powder bottomed out, it became the last straw that crushed him.
He asked his roommate to send the child and letter to Qin Ke, and then called Qin Ke himself.
Even after receiving the call, Qin Ke immediately ran to find him, but it was still too late.
The last thing Qin Ke saw was Qi Xiaoyang’s cold body. Since then, Qin Ke turned sinister( blackening) and began to retaliate against the Shen family.
The Shen family’s ultimate end, was the best Thunder strategy2Raw 雷霆手段(Léitíng shǒuduàn); thunderbolt strategy/method/means. Meaning; it’s a powerful means used to achieve a certain purpose. It comes from “using the means of thunderbolt to show the heart of the bodhisattva”. For more info ▷ http://www.51xzqz.com/yinshi/89849.html to set off Qin Ke, this second male lead.
As for who became the final winner in the end of this book, Shen Ran hadn’t read until the end when he transmigrated into the book, so he also didn’t know.
But he knows that there were three people in this book that can’t be messed with.
One was the male lead Min Xingchuan, the other was the second male lead Qin Ke, and another one… was Min Xingchuan’s later partner, Cheng Yu.
What kind of character was he to be able to convinced the male lead, still can mutually respected each other, and hold two within three years3Raw 三年抱俩(Sān nián bào liǎ); Two children born within three years.?
Shen Ran don’t understand, and didn’t want to understand.
He just remembered that in the book, he(CY) was a man who knows propriety. He gave Min Xingchuan an appropriate distance, enough respect, and put himself in a very proper position.
Shen Ran’s thought was based on the idea of playing his own role well, and promptly slip away as soon as the time was right. He just wanted to take good care of his family, do his own tasks, and climb to the peak of his life in passing.
This was enough, life cannot demand too much, true warriors do not need love.
He stepped forward and patted Qi Xiaoyang on the shoulder, and said, “Life is long and there are also many hopes. I know your parents are gone. Now that you broke up with your boyfriend as well, it is the saddest time for you. However, luck is often magical. It may give you a fatal blow, yet again it will bottom out4Raw 触底反弹(chù dǐ fǎntán); bottomed out: to have reached the lowest point in a continuously changing situation and to be about to improve. when you feel hopeless in your life.”
Qi Xiaoyang’s eyes were red as he raised his head, and asked, “Shen Ran, why do you suddenly seems to have changed?”
Shen Ran : ……
When Qi Xiaoyang asked this, Shen Ran began to tremble. Will there be character setting OOC warnings?
Fortunately, there was no warning beep in the system.
Shen Ran cleared his throat and said, “……I might be, divorced with Min Xingchuan.”
After speaking, he lowered his head in despairs, and said in a huff5Raw 翁声翁气(wèng shēng wèng qì); Google translated to in a Huff and baidu explained this words is use to describes a loud and deep voice. : “I liked him for five years, done all stupid things for him and ended up in divorce in the end. Now I know I was wrong. This is probably retribution!”
Qi Xiaoyang didn’t say anything more, but just sat at the desk like this, until the sky got dark, only then he picked up the thermos bottle to fetch water.
After returning, Qi Xiaoyang said to Shen Ran, “Can you keep it secret for me?”
Shen Ran nodded: “I won’t talk nonsense outside, but…are you really not going to look for Qin Ke? He really loves you, and he has the ability to protect you father and son.”
Qi Xiaoyang smiled bitterly and said, “Qin Ke’s father called me and said that he would give me a sum of money and told me to leave Qin Ke.”
Shen Ran asked: “Did you agree?”
Qi Xiaoyang replied: “I didn’t want his money. He thought I couldn’t do what I’ve promised, so he threatened me with Xinghua Orphanage.”
It turned out to be like this. After Qi Xiaoyang’s parent died, he was adopted in the Xinghua Orphanage.
The Dean and the children were as close to him as his family, and he will also go there to do volunteer work on weekends.
Qi Xiaoyang said again: “For Qin Ke, he and I were merely having an affair6Raw 谈场谈爱(Tán chǎng tán ài); talk about love. It’s seems there’s no specific meaning to this words?? So I assume it might be a typos for 谈场恋爱(Tán chǎng liàn’ài); fall in love/have an affair/have romances., just having fun. I am different. When together with me, one have to accept my everything. He is a young master, how could it be possible for him to accept these things. Besides, I don’t want him to bear it for me.”
Shen Ran doesn’t want to get involved in other people’s love.
Besides, he doesn’t know what passion or love was. As long as he doesn’t make enemies with Qi Xiaoyang, doesn’t make enemies with Qin Ke, his goal will be achieved then.
In the future, if Qi Xiaoyang needed help in any place, he will tried his best to find a way to help him.
The next day was Monday, with two major classes in the morning and one in the afternoon.
After classes, it was four o’clock in the afternoon.
He went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon. H University’s cafeteria tasted not bad, but there was a long queue.
Shen Ran began to miss the days where there was takeaway.
It wasn’t until almost five o’clock that Chi Haoyu sent him a message: “Boss, I’m going to work, do you want to go together?”
Shen Ran looked up and saw Chi Haoyu who was packing his schoolbag.
He waved to Chi Haoyu, the two joined together and went to the village in the city behind the school.
It takes more than 20 minutes to walk from here, and Shen Ran said to Chi Haoyu: “Here is the key, you go first, I will pick up the flyer, and distribute them in the University Town Square in passing.”
Chi Haoyu responded, took the key and went to the facade house first.
Shen Ran took on a new task before going to bed last night. The new task was to negotiated a cooperative business.
In other words, it was time to find a collaborator.
What Shen Ran wanted to developed was a Live Broadcast software, and the collaborators were naturally all kinds of anchors.
He first went to the Graphic Printing Agency to get the flyers, and after paying the bill, he carried 600 flyers to Xuezhi7Raw 学知(xué zhī); Public welfare education. It’s is a portal website that integrates education information, teaching resources, enrollment and training, and education business. More info ▷ https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%AD%A6%E7%9F%A5%E7%BD%91/1527330 Square in the University Town.
It was time that school was over at this moment, there were people come and go continuously on the square, Shen Ran holds flyers in his hand and distributes them to students who come and go.
It was just that when he distributed the flyers, many classmates behind pointed at him.
Speaking of which, Shen Ran was also considered the number one influential figure in this university.
His heroic deeds of bullying others, don’t know how many school forums he has been to.
All in all, many people have a bad impression of him.
When they saw him distributed flyers here, there was a discussions in private whether the Shen family was bankrupt.
Why did the dignified young master of the Shen family come to distributed flyers?
Soon, there was a heated discussion on the H University Forum, and the post about whether the Shen family was bankrupt has also been topped.
Of course, Shen Ran has no idea about this matter.
At the moment, he doesn’t pay attention to outside matter8Raw 两耳不闻窗外事 (idiom), and concentrated only on handing out flyers.
Many people questioned Shen Ran’s flyers, but many people have celebrity dreams. Some people threw his flyers into the trash can, and some people quietly put his flyers into their pockets.
Shen Ran left his WeChat account on it, and he built a WeChat group. He hope he can see the people who joined the group tonight.
If someone was willing to come to him and tried to be an anchor, that would be better.
So facing the warmth breeze in the early autumn evening, Shen Ran distributed more than 300 flyers.
After standing for more than three hours, even if he had done a lot of this kind of work before, Shen Ran was also very tired .
Looking at the streetscape not far away, he just remembered that he didn’t eat dinner.
There was a skewers shop next to him. Shen Ran wanted to eat lamb skewers. He took a deep breath, got up, pushed the door and walked in.
Although this small shop was simple and crude, it was full of people.
The waiter came over with the menu and said embarrassedly: “This classmate, do you mind join a table? I really don’t have a seat anymore here.”
Shen Ran nodded his head to indicated that it didn’t matter, he never cared about this trivial matter.
So the waiter took him to a big table in the corner, there was only one empty seat over there.
Shen Ran sat down and ordered ten skewers, two chicken wings and a plate of grilled eggplant.
When looked up, he felt that the atmosphere on this table was not very good, but when he looked again, all the people sitting around had turned to looked at him.
Shen Ran was a little embarrassed. He looked at the few people at the table and found that they were all good looking and tall young people.
There was only one older man, and a fashionable older sister about the same age sat beside him.
The two looked at Shen Ran eagerly. Shen Ran sighed helplessly and asked, “Is there any writing on my face?”
The uncle looked kind and asked: “How old is the little classmate? What year are you? Looking so handsome, do you want to be a star?”
When Shen Ran heard this, he knocked on the table lightly and said, “Isn’t this a coincidence?”
The uncle seemed puzzled, and asked, “What coincidence?”
Shen Ran took out a flyer and put it on the table, and distributed one to everyone on the table.
After reading this, the uncle happily said, “Yo? Young man, you also run an acting company? It’s a shame not to debut because of your attractive looks! Just tell you the truth! I run a small acting company, a few of them are all contracted artists of our company. Not afraid of you laughing, it’s the legendary pheasant9Raw 野鸡(yě jī); Peasant/unregistered and operating illegally (business)/ (slang) prostitute. I guess in this uncle’s case, his company is unregistered. studio. But we go on stage according to standard, and there happened to be a clothing store opened tonight, invited us to go on commercial performance. I’ve seen a lot of handsome and beautiful people, you know Zhou Xiaoyun, right? He was discovered by me, and now he is also mixed in the fourth tier. Compared with you, it’s still one in the sky and one in the underground.”
It was probably because the flyers in Shen Ran’s hand was too brainwashed, the uncle flicked the leaflet, and even sighed.
Shen Ran’s hand was not idle, he folded the flyer into a paper airplane and fiddled with it as he was thinking about how to speak.
Finally, after the uncle had finished speaking, Shen Ran said: “I can’t debut, there’s no way, just want to make a living.”
Everyone in this world has an embarrassing things that difficult to mention, or shameful black spots, and not suitable for appearing in public.
The uncle who were mixed in the circle understand these things, so he don’t asked much, but his face were full of pity.
Shen Ran asked, “Ai10Raw 哎(āi); hey! (interjection used to attract attention or to express surprise or disapprobation), uncle, how much does it cost for a show?”
The uncle was very talkative and said, “I’m not afraid of you laughing. I brought six people out and get 2600. Excluding the stage fees, one person got less than two hundred yuan, and the rest we brought them to have a good meal.”
A few beautiful young girls smiled embarrassedly, their smiles were full of bitterness.
Shen Ran threw the paper airplane out of the window, pointed to the WeChat account on another flyer and said, “Uncle, why don’t we work together? You have actors and I have a platform. Maybe another way will be open up?”
The threshold11Raw 门槛(mén kǎn); threshold/ fig. knack or trick (esp. scheme to get sth cheaper) of live broadcast was very low, and it can attracted fans just by being beautiful.
If he can directly cooperated with an acting company, he may be able to earned the first pot of gold.
