“Hehe, why did you help me at that time? Don’t lie to me and say that I looked beautiful. At that time, I felt that I was very ordinary.” Tang Xin asked with a smile after she finished talking about her memory.
“I don’t know… It’s a coincidence…” Yang Hua said blankly.
“Actually, there’s something I’ve always wanted to apologize to you for.” At this point, Tang Xin’s face was completely red, like a ripe peach.
“Ah?”
“It was during the third year of high school…” Tang Xin looked at Yang Hua and seemed to be suppressing her shyness as she said, “I actually waited for you on purpose during the college entrance examination that day. I wanted to ask which university you will apply to because I want to go to the same school as you. In the end, I didn’t expect that I would be the one to harm you in the end, causing you to not be able to take the exam… I’m sorry.”
“I… no… it’s nothing.” Yang Hua looked at Tang Xin, whose face was flushed red, and felt his tongue roll up, unable to speak.
Yang Hua didn’t know what to say. Tang Xin also stared at him and fell silent. The huge living room gradually quieted down, leaving only the two people’s hearts that were still beating wildly.
“Cough! Humph!” Yang Hua suddenly felt that the atmosphere here was turning bad! He hurriedly coughed a few times. He racked his brain to think of a topic that could ease the awkwardness. “Just now, you said that you would help Qi Yuying to find a director who will accept her script.
“But can you ask Director Zhang not to replace Qi Yuying? If Director Zhang says that there’s no problem with her script, then there should be no problem.”
“It’s not up to the director to decide if there’s a problem with the script.” Tang Xin smiled bitterly at Yang Hua and shook her head. “There’s a very professional forum on the website of City T’s TV station. Haven’t you seen it before?”
“I’ve seen it.”
“There’s a section in the forum that allows the audience to vote. Whether there’s a problem with the script or not, the voting results from there account for a large proportion in the conclusion.”
“Ah! I see.”
“Moreover, there is another problem with the audience voting. The content of her previous episodes had not satisfied the audience. Therefore, unless she could write a better script for this episode than the previous ones, there would definitely be more people who would vote that they were unsatisfied. What do you think of her new script?”
“It’s not that good. There’s still a slight difference compared to before.”
“Then Hu Changyou will have a way to expel her from the crew.” Tang Xin said seriously.
“I understand.” Hearing Tang Xin’s final conclusion, Yang Hua’s mood became heavy.
“Don’t worry. No matter what, I’ll do my best to help her.” Tang Xin said softly.
“Forget it.” Yang Hua smiled bitterly at Tang Xin.
“You really don’t want my help?” Tang Xin revealed a disappointed expression.
“Don’t make things difficult for yourself. It’s not easy for you to become famous. Don’t ruin your future for me. I don’t want you to be implicated because of her. Besides, there might be other ways to deal with her matter.” Yang Hua’s words were from the bottom of his heart. What he meant was that he would think of a solution to Qi Yuying’s problem and that she did not need to worry about it. However, these words sounded different in Tang Xin’s ears.
Although she had been famous for four to five years, she had very few opportunities to come into contact with society. Not only did she become famous when she was in her second year of university because she starred in a blockbuster movie, but her agent and operating company had also made her walk the path of a pure and innocent girl from the beginning. Therefore, not only did she have little chance to interact with society, but she also had an experienced veteran accompanying her when she was interviewed by reporters and participated in variety shows to help her resist those strange questions.
Therefore, although Tang Xin knew a lot and had trained herself to be a well-mannered celebrity, she might not be as experienced as Wang Ruoxi when it came to dealing with people. “Do you really think I’m more important than her?” When Tang Xin asked this question, her voice became very soft.
“Ah?” Yang Hua didn’t hear what Tang Xin said clearly.
“You…” Tang Xin mustered up her courage and repeated what she had just said in a louder voice. However, just as she said the word “you”, the phone rang and interrupted her.
The number of people who knew Tang Xin’s home phone number could be counted on one hand, and they would never call her when they had nothing to do. Hearing the phone ring, Tang Xin immediately knew that it was something important. She could only stop reluctantly and say to Yang Hua, “Wait a moment.” Then, she quickly ran to the phone not far away and pressed the speaker button.
“Hey! Xinxin! It’s me. ” A man’s soft voice came from the phone. It made Yang Hua unconsciously think of a word: Sissy.
“Yes, I know! Auntie Wang!” Tang Xin shouted with a smile.
“I’m in the newspaper office, don’t make any noise!” The voice rang out again, and Yang Hua could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. An image of a seven-foot-tall man who was pinching his slender fingers and winking at people appeared in front of his eyes.
“What’s wrong? Humph! You’re calling me at this time!” Rather than saying that Tang Xin was talking to him, it was more like she was acting coquettishly to the other party. However, from the surname she called out at the beginning, Yang Hua could tell that it should be Tang Xin’s resourceful manager.
“Aiyo! My little darling! Why are you still asking me? You took a man… Bah! It’s not that I want to criticize you, but do you know that if my friend didn’t happen to see it in the newspaper office this time, tomorrow’s headline would definitely be about you…” Manager Wang was like an auntie, nagging endlessly.
Yang Hua sat on the chair and listened to Manager Wang’s complaints about Tang Xin. He felt more and more embarrassed. After a few minutes, he could not sit still anymore. Anyway, he had finished his business and told Tang Xin everything he needed to. She had also agreed to help Wang Ruoxi. As for Qi Yuying, her problem was not something that she could solve. Thinking of this, Yang Hua couldn’t help but walk to Tang Xin’s side. He gestured to her to let her chat slowly before he left.
However, Tang Xin shook her head at him anxiously, refusing to let him leave just like that. The silent pantomime between the two was quickly discovered by the sharp Manager Wang.
“Hmm? Xinxin, what’s wrong? Who are you talking to?”
“He’s an old classmate of mine. He’s Yang Hua, the one that I mentioned to you before.”
“Oh, it’s him! Sigh, Xinxin! Don’t you know that those reporters are waiting outside the door every day, just waiting for news about you? You have to be careful. By the way, did you receive the clothes I asked someone to make for you last time? Those were professionally designed.
“It’s summer. I know you like to wear dresses. However, don’t wear a skirt that’s too short. Be careful not to be photographed by others! In the future, when you go out, wear the ones I gave you, understand? Otherwise, you would be like the celebrity from last time, the one who was photographed and didn’t know about it. You have to be careful…”
Manager Wang started to grumble again.
“I’m leaving.” Hearing that Manager Wang was talking about a very private topic with Tang Xin, the embarrassed Yang Hua made a gesture to Tang Xin again, and this time he said it decisively.
