- Chapter 17.1 Shock! Another big guy is a fanBai Ziwei was really angry. He was a fiery spirit who couldn't stand being patient, how could he bear this now?The company's double standards were way too obvious. Weren't they afraid of being scolded to death by their own fans?Veins throbbing at his temples, his fighting spirit rose, waiting for either Shen Ci or Zhou Xing to start explaining. Whatever they said, he had decided he would fight back viciously and spray them to death!Shen Ci: "Um, can we swap our acts?"Bai Ziwei: "... Huh?"Shen Ci handed him some paperwork: "I'm sure I won't be able to do this, it would be a waste if I had it. I happen to like your act too."He turned to Zhou Xing: "Zhou Ge, is that okay?"Zhou Xing shrugged nonchalantly: "No problem, we respect the artist's wishes haha."Bai Ziwei: "...."A knot of fury lodged in his throat, neither rising nor falling. Suddenly feeling deflated, Bai Ziwei nearly choked on his own frustration. He looked down at the act he was ready to fight Shen Ci for and having received it so easily, suddenly he felt it wasn't all that special.Shen Ci nervously watched as Bai Ziwei's face turned the color of a pig's liver, thinking that he should be safe from any protagonist aura related turbulence now.The feeling of surrender was quite satisfying, he thought. He had avoided conflict and got a simple act suitable for himself-- it was like killing two birds with one stone!Shen .big coward. Ci gave himself a big thumbs-up in his mind.Bai Ziwei snorted and with nothing to say, finally had no choice but to leave in annoyance.Zhou Xing patted Shen Ci on the shoulder, looking at him admiringly: "We'll make some changes to this act, don't worry, we won't let you be at a disadvantage."Bai Ziwei's original act indeed didn't offer much exposure and it lacked topics for hype. But it was a general plan given by the artists' department, so Zhou Xing was just following orders.Everyone would prefer an act with better exposure, ability to showcase talent and topic attractiveness. Bai Ziwei's anger wasn't unreasonable.Zhou Xing had been prepared for a big showdown, even getting ready to sit back and enjoy the drama. But he hadn't expected Shen Ci to give up so generously.In order to avoid tension between artists from the same company, he had made such a huge sacrifice. Zhou Xing immediately revised his impression of this rumored spoiled "little young master", his original impression raising a bit significantly.Rumors, sure enough, are just that-- unreliable groundless talk.Shen Ci, however was a bit frightened: "Then, please don't make it too difficult.... I really can't dance."Zhou Xing burst out laughing with a haha: "Alright, we'll customize it to your ability."***Holding the folder, Shen Ci's next task was to coordinate the filming of a music video. The MV was for a hot pop singer from the same company's new song. As it was a youthful love song, the company had chosen Shen Ci and another young girl to film it together.This time the coordination went quite smoothly. In the end, Shen Ci was forced to take a group picture with the girls from the responsible team-- no pictures, no materials.After the group pictures were over, seeing that the tragedy of being surrounded and harassed by the receptionist girls from the Lu Group was about to happen again, Shen Ci seized the opportunity to escape.With a numb expression, he set off on the road back to Zhang Ge's office. Seeing that there weren't many people on the road, he took out the filming plan for the MV he had just received and started to look through it.A youthful love story, ah...During the filming of "Don't Say Farewell" last time, his seniors had criticized him for his lack of sincerity in his emotions, saying that it would be better to fall in love before filming again.The question was, where could he find love? From childhood to adulthood, he had never had a crush on any girl. Later, he didn't know when, but he suddenly became very fond of Shao Jinhuan and what he thought was a crush that lasted for several years was forced to come to an end.The feeling of liking Shao Jinhuan.... Shen Ci discovered blankly that he could no longer remember what it was like.Closing his eyes again, Lu Xiao's gentle smile unexpectedly floated into Shen Ci's mind.Shocked, Shen Ci shook his head fiercely. Mom, his brain must be broken!"Thud!"Caught off guard, Shen Ci bumped into something and fell backward.He scrambled to his feet quickly to check on the other party: "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going, are you okay?"The person who had collided with Shen Ci had also fallen backwards. Rubbing his head, he was frowning at Shen Ci when his eyes suddenly widened."Shen Ci?! My god!"The person was a tall and handsome young man. With a trendy outfit and an earring, he looked like a cool guy, yet at this moment, he shouted in a dramatic manner like a young girl.Shen Ci froze, looking at the young man with an expressionless face as his eyes twinkled.He recognized this person as the singer of the MV he was about to participate in, Yang Ning.The reason Shen Ci could remember him was because his name, was completely inconsistent with his image. The Ning in Yang Ning's name (杨柠) literally means lemon 🍋 , so I'm assuming his happy hyper sort of personality is at complete odds with the meaning of his name (Ning in this case) as lemon is sometimes attributed with the word sour.Looking somewhat excited, he grabbed Shen Ci's arm, "I've finally met you in the company! The almanac said today was a good day to go out and sure enough, it wasn't wrong!"Shen Ci suddenly had a bad premonition.Yang Ning shouted, "I am a hardcore fan of yours! Look, look, my level in your fan group on Weibo is pretty high, right? I check in every day!""When my agent asked me to choose the male lead for my new song, the first person that came to my mind was you!""You must be here to get the MV materials, right? It would be much better to hear it directly from me! Come, come..."With a confused look on his face, Shen Ci was helped up by the chattering Yang Ning who organized the materials and brought him into the nearby studio.It turned out that not only was his name a stark contrast to his image, but his personality was also quite different!

Editor: Jodi
“Ah… come, come in and have a seat first.”
Sister Liu stepped aside after leading them in, and the cameras continued filming. Shen Ci smiled at Shao Jinhuan cautiously.
Shao Jinhuan glanced around the room and saw a writing desk and a small, broken stool by the window, so he walked over.
However the moment he sat down with his arms full of bedding, he suddenly went back and fell to the ground with a loud crash, much to Shen Ci’s alarmed gaze.
And Shao Jinhuan, who was stunned by the fall, “?”
Shen Ci hurried over to help him up, “You, you, you… how did you fall?”
“….. I don’t know.”
Shao Jinhuan picked the stool that had fallen suspiciously and pressed down on it, only to find that one side had rotted over time and had broken off, making it so that anyone who sat on it would topple over.
Shen Ci, both amused and exasperated, helped him up, “Sorry about that, I was the one who should have been unlucky…”
“Xiao Ci, what’s that noise?”
The door opened, and Wei Shuo walked in, only to immediately seeing Shen Ci’s hand on Shao Jinhuan’s arm. His eyes widened in shock.
“What are you doing here?!” Shocked, he rushed over to pull Shen Ci away.
However his haste caused Shen Ci to accidentally tug on Shao Jinhuan’s arm, making Shao Jinhuan wince in pain.
Shen Ci: “He fell just now, he might be hurt.”
Wei Shuo looked at Shao Jinhuan who was clutching his elbow, his eyes downcast as he said softly, “It’s nothing.”
Covered in dust from the fall and holding the bedding he brought for Shen Ci, Shao Jinhuan stood forlornly in the corner, looking utterly pitiful.
Shen Ci and Wei Shuo: “…..” The title Movie Emperor was really well-deserved!
In this situation, if they didn’t do something, the show’s crew, who loved drama, would definitely post this footage online…
So Shen Ci could only move forward to take the bedding, “Shuo Shuo, go get some medicine from the crew.”
“I have some with me.”
Wei Shuo ran to get it hurriedly, afraid to leave Shen Ci alone with Shao Jinhuan. He returned in seconds.
Then seeing Shao Jinhuan sitting on the bed, holding out his arm to Shen Ci, he hurried to intervene, “I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”
Shen Ci who was pushed aside by Wei Shuo watched in confusion as Wei Shuo roughly applied the medicine to Shao Jinhuan’s arm.
Shao Jinhuan had only a red mark and a scraped elbow, so it wasn’t too serious.
Wei Shuo ground his teeth and, out of sight of the cameras, flipped Shao Jinhuan off, whispering, “Just this? Who taught you to play the pity card? Quite the actor.”
“Be gentle.” Shao Jinhuan frowned, irritated by the rough treatment, “If you can’t do it, let Xiao Ci do it.”
Wei Shuo sneered, “Just continue dreaming. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do.”
“What are you two talking about?” Shen Ci frowned, trying to listen in, but both fell silent.
Shen Ci was baffled.
Wei Shuo quickly finished applying the iodine and patted the bedding, “What’s this bedding for?”
Shao Jinhuan: “I brought it for Shen Ci. He doesn’t like hard beds.”
Wei Shuo, happy, smiled at him provocatively, “Perfect, I don’t like hard beds either, and blessings should be shared, so Xiao Ci, can I sleep with you tonight?”
Shen Ci had a flash of inspiration, “Just take the bedding with you! It’s too crowded to sleep together.”
“No way.”
Shao Jinhuan and Wei Shuo refused in unison, leaving Shen Ci stuck between them, utterly speechless.
However the two of them were adamant, so the bedding stayed, and Wei Shuo stayed as well.
So Shen Ci was forced to share the small bed with Wei Shuo that night. However despite the thick layers of bedding, he still woke up the next day with a sore back.
“Damn, this young master’s back is killing me!” Wei Shuo wailed early in the morning, and Shen Ci, woken by his complaints, almost kicked him out of bed in anger.
Then they both hobbled to wash up, Shen Ci sporting dark circles under his eyes, and while brushing his teeth, he grumbled, “I would have been better off sleeping on the wooden floor!”
Wei Shuo regretted it too, and swore on the spot never to do it again.
“Hurting the enemy, yet hurting yourself as well, I’ll have to find a different way to annoy that pig head next time…” Wei Shuo muttered, however Shen Ci didn’t hear clearly and didn’t feel like asking.

They were scheduled to go to the furniture store in town to pick out furniture for the guesthouse today, which meant they had to endure a bumpy ride on the mountain road twice.
Hence none of them dared to eat breakfast, as they braced themselves for the ordeal on the minibus.
“I’m the first guest at your guesthouse.” Wei Shuo joined them cheerfully, and this time, the director didn’t chase him away, probably because they had reached an agreement.
However Wei Shuo was soon nauseated by the ride, and vomiting miserably, he scolded the crew, “Who would open a guesthouse in such a remote place?! Are you guys kidding me?”
The director wiped his sweat, “Uh, we won’t be staying here the whole time! The challenge is important for the show’s impact.” Also, it created good drama.
The crew had arranged to visit a newly opened furniture store that was on a very large scale in the county, which had already agreed to collaborate.
It was just that Shen Ci recognized the name and logo of the furniture store from a distance and found it familiar, while Wei Shuo said, “This is the furniture retail company Uncle Lu just bought. I saw it in the news. However they unexpectedly opened in such a small county?”
It suddenly dawned on Shen Ci. He had seen it in his little uncle’s office documents.
He immediately felt a sense of homecoming and walked briskly into the store, where a manager in a neat suit greeted them with a smile, “Welcome, ‘Perfect Guesthouse’ team, feel free to browse. Young Master Shen Ci, would you like to rest and have a drink first?”
Everyone: “???”
The latter half of the sentence shocked the group so much that all eyes turned to Shen Ci, which in turn made his scalp tingle.
This… could it be that it was a special instruction from Lu Xiao?!
“No need, no need, I’ll just—”
“Are you only offering him water because of his looks?” Jiang Shu laughed, “We may not be as good-looking as Xiao Ci, but we also want water and a break, right girls?”
Awkwardly, no one responded. Jiang Shu’s smile gradually froze.
Agreeing with her would mean opposing Shen Ci, and no one wanted to cause unnecessary trouble with other artists.
What’s more whether the earlier scene was real or scripted, it had good dramatic potential, and they preferred to follow that lead.
As for Jiang Shu? She interrupted Shen Ci and provocatively mocked everyone present— she could deal with the fallout herself.
“Xiao Ci wants to browse with everyone first.” Shao Jinhuan said to the manager coolly.
The others laughed and agreed, and Shen Ci followed their lead, “Yes, yes, let’s all rest together later!”
“Okay.”
The manager didn’t say anything more and left politely.
And as they entered the mall, Jiang Shu became lively again.
