âPresident Du said! She doesnât want me to tell youâŚâŚâ Xiao Yi said: âShe doesnât want it to affect your filmingâŚâŚâ
Luzhou is clearly unable to control his anger, he grabbed Xiao Yiâs collar and threw him on the car door, Xiao Yiâs knocked against the door and the sky spins, the earth goes round. Â Earlier when being pushed down by Luzhou, his elbow grind against the ground, now it is still bleeding.
(T/N: The sky spins, the earth goes round = head spinning around)
Luzhou shouted: âGive me the key!â
Immediately after that, donât know where Xiao Yi got the strength from, while muddled headed he suddenly roared at Luzhou: âIâm not giving it to youâ!!!!â
He knows that when he give the car key to Luzhou, Luzhou will certainly racing with high-speed on the highway, at the moment he is unable to control his own impulses, if by any chance he got into an accident, it will be troublesome.
Luzhou at once was shocked when Xiao Yi roared at him.
Xiao Yi furiously pushed Luzhou back, then kicked his foot.
âYou dare to kick me?!â Luzhou bellowed in rage: âGet out of here! Youâre fired!!â
Xiao Yi then shouted toward him: âDo you believe that I will run you over and crush you to death!!â
(T/N: The âIâ Xiao Yi used is superior)
Xiao Yi stagger to crawl up, he opened the door to the driver seat, Luzhou at once was surprised, he subconsciously walk toward the curb to avoid something, Xiao Yi then drove away, leaving Luzhou standing alone in the rain.
Luzhou: ââŚâŚâ
This is the first time Luzhou was being mistreated to this level and was speechless, he thought for a moment, then suddenly feeling this is absurd.
âGood, very good,â Luzhou yelled toward the darkness: âGet out of here!â
After a while, the tail light flickering, the SUV slowly reverse.
Xiao Yi opened the door to the passenger seat and glance at Luzhou.
âGet in the car,â Xiao Yi said
Luzhouâs impulses, in a split second was over, in fact, this matter have nothing to do with Xiao Yi, but he was very unfortunate, at this time become Luzhouâs underserved target to vent his anger on.
Luzhou got in the car, he notice Xiao Yiâs action is very strange, his movement of steering is very stiff, moreover he is also panting heavily, Luzhou glance at Xiao Yi and saw tears streaming down his face.
âAre you even a man,â Luzhou was hard to believe what he saw and said: âYou cried just because of this?â
âSay youâre sorry,â Xiao Yi tremble while driving, âSay you are sorry and Iâll forgive youâŚâŚâ
âFine, fine.â Luzhou said: âI didnât control myself, I shouldnât get angry at you.â
Xiao Yiâs face was full of tears, he said: âUhm.â
Luzhou didnât speak and turned to look at Xiao Yi, he didnât expect Xiao Yi to actually cry.
It has been a long time since he cried, crying loudly without tear while depressed isnât count. After graduation, he cried out loud once, 4-5 years have passed and he hasnât cried once.
âThis is stupid ahâŚâŚâ Xiao Yi thought, âobviously I didnât do anything wrong, why should I receive a beating, am I an MâŚ..this is stupidâ
(T/N: M = Masochist)
Xiao Yi panting and panting, then finally calm down.
âPull up ahead,â Luzhou said
These days his mental state is stretched to the point of snapping, high-intense work, lack of sleep and rest, as well as stress, fatigue. At this time his limit reached the end, plus because of this events he finally have a mental breakdown, but afterward Xiao Yi feel as if he was relieved from a burden.
âIâm sorry.â Xiao Yi said after stopping.
Luzhou didnât reply, he look a little unnatural.
The two men entered the convenience store, Luzhou said: âGo make two cups of hot coffee.â
Luzhou apparently is tired and rubbed his temple.
Xiao Yi didnât where his phone went, he went to paid for the two coffee, Luzhou then exited the restroom. They stand outside the convenience store, behind the white light, in front of them is the dim light of the highway, they stood side by side before the rain and drink their coffee.
Earlier in the car Xiao Yi have a feeling of being at home, this make him he actually cried. âIt must be an illusion, just forget it.â His elbow is still bleeding when he fell and scraped his skin earlier.
âWhat are we doing now?â Xiao Yi tried to change the subject, he carefully asked Luzhou. Luzhou look at Xiao Yiâs bleeding elbow, immediately went to buy a bottle of distilled water and wash his wounds.
âWhat can we do?â Luzhou said
âPresident Du is in Hengdian right now.â Xiao Yi said: âAt night we can find her, she must have an idea how to solve this.â
âIâll see.â Luzhou tell Xiao Yi to turned his head toward him, with an apologetic eyes he said: âIâm like that, when angry I canât control myselfâŚâŚIâm sorry, I was too impulsive.â
âItâs nothing.â Xiao Yi said: âGetting beaten by the male god is my honor ah ha ha.â
âYou are a M right?â Luzhou didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
After that they didnât speak, just drinking coffee. After finish the coffee, Luzhou squeeze the paper cup, thrown it into the trashcan and said: âLetâs go back.â
Xiao Yi suddenly feels tired, the kind of tired after relaxed, after released all the emotional pressure, he feel very comfortable. On the way back he was driving, Luzhou found the phone that was thrown under the seat, his face was gloomy when continue looking at the online comments.
âDonât look at it anymore.â Xiao Yi said: âThe more you look, the more it will make you unhappy.â
Luzhou put the phone away and looked out the window in silence.
Xiao Yi said: âYou donât need to pay attention to what people said online, my former editor said, there is all type of people online, they just like to criticize others, if you take it serious youâll lose.â
Luzhou took a deep breath, a little emotionally unstable and replied: âIâm not that kind of person, but if worse come to worse weâll just expose all the stories regarding of Zhang Xiran online, letâs see who is more afraid of who.â
Xiao Yi didnât answer, attentively driving through the toll station, he glance at Luzhou once then said âLater donât quarrel with president Du.â Xiao Yi said
âI know.â Luzhou said impatiently: âI know her for ten years, I followed her after debut until now, who do you think you are?â
Xiao Yi self-deprecating smile and said: âExactly, Iâm just a shrimp in ranking, only act as your punching bag.â
(T/N: Shrimp = small fry)
âI already apologize,â Luzhou said: âDo you want me to kowtow to you?â
(T/N: Kowtow = bow down)
Xiao Yi smiled and waved, but inside he was a little sour.
Luzhou canât get angry with Du Mei, also canât get angry with Ning Yaqingâs manager, even more he canât get angry with Zhang Xiran, without any better option he have to vent his anger on a small assistant like him.
Before in his previous company Xiao Yi was being bullied often, he was cursed at every turn by the editor, âdonât want to work anymore than pack up your stuff and leaveâ, now even when he changed to a job that make a lots of money, he still get scolded, but the boss is more ruthless, beside scolding he event want raise his hand.
Fortunately, Luzhou doesnât aim at him. Some people after scolding would then think up every possible method to give another person a hard time, Luzhou at least apologize. Xiao Yi optimistically thought, with this fact, this job is still better.
When arrived in Hengdian, it is already 2 oâclock at night.
Du Mei already waiting at the hotel, seeing Luzhou brought a gloomy expression back, she said: âHave a late meal first then talk.â
One side of  Xiao Yiâs forehead still have red marks, after moved the valise, Du Mei glance at it, then looked at Luzhou, with the eyes meaning to blame, Luzhou didnât say anything, just sit down and eat.
Du Meiâs assistant have fallen asleep, Xiao Yi grab a partitioned box and decide to take it back to his room, Luzhou said: âWait, sit down.â
Du Mei said: âYou already know?â
âI know.â Luzhou casually eat a few bites then pushed the partitioned box aside, opened his valise and look through it, Xiao Yi said: âWhat are you looking for? Iâll look it.â
Luzhou said: âYou just eat.â
Du Mei said: âIt was Ning Yaqingâs manager who spreaded the new, today I talked with Qi Quan to see if there  is anyway to fix this, Qi Quan was completely indifferent, I think he is reluctant to solve this situation.â
âCan we just let it be?â Luzhou simply suppressing his fire and said: âCan I do something that I want to do?â
Du Mei sighed, one hand rubbing her temple and said: âThink about your image, I know all these years you worked very hard.â
âAre you saying without her I canât possibly act?â Luzhou said: âI have enough of these people! No matter what I do, they will say I climb up by clinging on to a womanâs thigh! Sister Du, can you endure it?â
While talking, Luzhou  pulls out a bottle of Shuang Fei Ren ointment and rubbing it on Xiao Yiâs elbow.
Xiao Yi: ââŚâŚâ
The char siu that filled half of Xiao Yiâs mouth almost fell out.
(T/N: Char siu = barbecue pork)
âWhatâs the matter?â Du Mei asked.
âEarlier I couldnât control myself, hit the little brother.â Luzhou pushed Xiao Yiâs hair up, saw a red spot then pressed his hand down and rubbed with his palm a few times.
Xiao Yi: ââŚâŚâ
âWhat did you say? Little brother? This shouldnât specifically refer to the âMa Tsaiâ kind of brother, right?â Xiao Yi at once feel a little elated, not only overwhelmed by favor from superior but also touched.
(T/N: Ma Tsai = the little brother (underling) of the mafia leader)
Luzhou finished rubbing the ointment on Xiao Yiâs forehead then sit down on the sofa, took a deep breath and tiredly said: âWhatever, do as you sees fit, just donât let me shake my tail in front of Zhang Xiran, everyone is happy, thatâs what she said.â
Du Mei said: âThen you need to think about it, find the right wording to get your point across and gain sympathy, wait until <<Ironhorse Glaciers Dream>> began broadcasting, it shouldnât affect too much, the mothers like to your drama, they wonât be too concerned with what the netizens said.â
Luzhou said: âI donât want to pull this kind of thing to get promoted again, not with Ning Yaqing, not with anyone, we are all human beings, put yourself in someone elseâs shoes, I donât want to get promoted by using scandal.â
Luzhou rubbed his eyes, then suddenly said: âDamn it!â
The ointment went into his eyes, Luzhou, like a gust of wind rushed into the bathroom. Xiao Yi laughed, placed the partitioned box down and went to find a towel for him.
Du Mei said: âXiao Yi, what kind of person do you think Ning Yaqing is?â
âHe doesnât understand.â Luzhou said impatiently
âEh.â Xiao Yi said: âMy opinion isnât very reliableâŚâŚWhy not let the PR team discuss itâŚâŚâ
Du Mei said: âYou are the PR, there isnât any PR network, only outside firm.â
Xiao Yi nearly slip and said: âIsâŚâŚthatâs right?â
Du Mei said: âThe PR is sleeping in the next room, all day long he keep suggesting bad ideas, I want to replace him.â
Luzhou said: âI already told you to build a responsible PR team earlier, but you donât listen.â
âThis work, having more people mean more mouth.â Du Mei frown: âThe staff members mobility is very strong, 8 out of 10 already publicize the information outside, the culprit is those assistant and PR, Iâm doing this is for your own good.â
âCan we spend some money to deleted the post on Tianya?â Xiao Yi asked: âIf not we can look for dian shui jun? I can introduce one to President Du, itâs not expensive, before when the singer come out with a new song, they would look for them.â
(T/N: diÇn shuÇ jun = people who get pay to spam. In English it either mean water army or navy, these are the two translation I got.)
âWe have a fixed partner companies.â Du Mei said: âIt doesnât matter if I tell you, but you have to keep it to yourself, we partner with the same company as Zhang Xiran, they have a good relationship with that sissy Qi Quan.â
Xiao Yi immediately laughed, Du Mei pinch her fingers in the orchid hand position and said: âHe is a sissy, but in the circle even straight men act like a sissy, ahem, how can they compare with our Luzhou, our Luzhou is a man who able to support both heaven and earthâââ
(T/N: Able to support both heaven and earth = having indomitable spirit)
Xiao Yi laughed until his stomach ache, collapse on the sofa then come back up, he didnât expect Du Mei to also have such malicious intention, Luzhou sit down on the sofa with a black line going down the side of his forehead, Xiao Yi asked: âWhy do straight men want to act like a sissy?â
âBecause the female boss, manager, PR, ah, producer and so on.â Du Mei said: âGirls is usually more friendly with GAY, getting along well with them, to talk to them, and alsoâŚâŚ.their tone is different, they can get along naturally with others women.â
âOhâŚâŚâ Xiao Yi thought âSo this is the case, lan hua zhi could also be a womanâs best friendâ
(T/N: Lan Hua Zhi: it mean orchid hand position which refer to gay)
Du Mei said: âWait until the drama broadcast, we still have to plan a mai fu with Wung Heng Gu, post some hints on weibo, find a couple of VIP ID to promote the CP, you should be mentally prepared, Luzhou.â
(T/N: Mai fu is fanservice between two men)
Luzhou: ââŚâŚâ
Xiao Yi thought, âpeople really want to maifu with Luzhou, for which reason does Wung Heng Gu allow to maifu with Luzhou, ah!!!â
Du Mei said: âYou donât need to worry about this, when that time come just control your blood pressure and pretend you didnât see anything.â
Xiao Yi looked sympathetically at Luzhou, Luzhou said: âYou want me and that guy from xuan xiu to appear together, kissing on the lip and face?! This is sick!â
(T/N: Xuan Xiu = competition on TV like Americanâs got talent and so on)
(T/N: Xiu Xing = a person who gain fame from xuan xiu)
Xiao Yi thought âhow did that xiu xing offended you, that xiu xing also have fan okay, his fan loves him very much, even put money together to build him a house and bought an ancient phone for him, unlike you, you canât even coax your fans, news just came out today, a whole group of fans turn into anti-fan, wanting to come and splash paint at your doorâ
(T/N: Xiu Xing = a person who gain fame from competition (xuan xiu)
Du Mei said: âI wonât ask you kiss on the lip or face.â
Du Mei have a resigned expression on her face, Luzhou said: âForget it, let it be, tomorrow I still have to film.â
Du Mei said: âThe whole script is complete, but there is some problems, the screenwriter and producer will make several changes, tomorrow you guys can take a day off.â
When Xiao Yi heard this, it is like welcome rain after a long drought
(T/N: Welcome rain after a long drought = A desire that been keep for so long finally it is being fulfilled/satisfied)
âHave have haveâŚâŚa day off?â Xiao Yi even suspect that he heard it wrong.
âYou have worked hard.â Du Mei said: âTomorrow take a day off, let Luzhou take you out to play.â
Xiao Yiâs eyes at once turned hollow, before when he have a week off, he didnât cherish it and complain it is too short! Now when hearing about having day off, he couldnât believe his own ears.
Having Du Mei here in the evening, she could appease Luzhou, Xiao Yi isnât worry at all. The next morning, Xiao Yi is still asleep, while there is a brutal knock on his door.
Luzhou wore a black tank top with a brief, standing barefoot outside, looking straight at his face.
âOh.â Xiao Yi also wearing a brief, eyes going around in a circle.
Xiao Yi: â?â
Luzhou pointed to the watch on his wrist, Xiao Yi is a little sober, he thought âGetting up early in the morning and you still remember how to put on a watch ah, you got up and then come over here with your watch to intimidate me?â
Xiao Yi: âWhat are you doing?â
Luzhou standing in the hallway, shouted: âWhat time is it! Youâre still sleeping! Do you want to get fired!â
The opposite door is opened, Luzhou immediately pushed Xiao Yi in, moving inside with him.
Xiao Yi is drooling, leaning against the sofa, he still immersed in his dream of becoming a big star. He was serving as Luzhouâs cannon fodder, displaying a rich expression and agile skill in front of the cameraââXiao Yi was taken fancy by a producer with a keen perception for heroes. As a result he was given a supporting role in a movie, the movie then become popular and Xiao Yi rises to fame. The tide rises, the boat floats, he then obtain a leading role. After taken a Rough and rugged paths of life, Xiao Yi eventually won the acting king award, holding a golden statue, left arm around Ning Yaqing, right arm around Zhang Xiran, standing on the Oscar-winning stage giving a short speechâŚâŚ
âThank you, my assistant Luzhou! Without him I wouldnât be here todayâŚâŚ:â
And so on, but it seem like there is something wrong.
âIsnât today is a day off today? Xiao Yi try to restore his focus with great effort. Luzhou stand in front of him with his long legs, sturdy chest, feet curling upward, looking at Xiao Yi with a bored to death expression.
âThe day off is for me.â Luzhou said: âIâm still alive, who allow you to have a day off?â
Xiao Yi: ââŚâŚâ
âYes.â Xiao Yi said: âWhat is his majesty orders, your servant will do it at once.â
Luzhou said impatiently: âGo brush your teeth and wash your face! Then lunch! What are you thinking!â
