My Life with Narration-Chapter 230 - 229: Fairy Sister Is Okay
That's right, she's a funny girl. Just from the first meeting, Tang Nan left such an impression on him. It must be said, she has a distinctive character.
After drinking a can of Coke, Tang Nan finally stopped shedding tears and didn't care about ruining her female artist image. Instead, she chatted with him with great interest.
The four of them sat on the sofa. Through their conversation, he learned that the three people sitting in front of him were actually the only three major shareholders of the company.
In other words, the three people in front of him were Da Huang's financial supporters. As for why they weren't his, the explanation is simple: he hadn't made them any money, so why should they get any benefits from him.
Da Huang, who was far away at the restaurant, didn't know that he had gained another "mom." But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't mind. After all, this dog is attracted to beautiful women and can't resist them. With someone as beautiful as Tang Nan, he'd be wagging his tail in no time.
"I heard in the capital that Su, you're only 22 years old, and you were brought home by someone named Shen for 800 bucks, is that true?"
On the sofa, Tang Yan asked excitedly, her eyes burning with gossip fire, though her nose was a bit red. It was clear that the previous nose bubbles were quite damaging.
Upon hearing this, Su Qing immediately wanted to give her a piece of his mind. What kind of talk was that, saying he was brought home for 800 bucks? Do I look like a pretty boy to you?
Left with no choice, he could only look helplessly at the landlady and Shen Yi, seeking their help. How should he respond to that?
Shen Yi countered with a sneer: "Why, can't I? If you're capable, you can also spend money to get someone, no one's stopping you. Why is someone in the entertainment industry so gossipy!"
"Why can't someone in the entertainment industry gossip? Besides, the entertainment industry has so many gossipy bits, it's enough to make me sick. The gossip here is much more enjoyable!"
"Go chew on your crap, and stop poking around!"
"Mind your own business, I'm talking to my brother-in-law!"
"Who are you calling your brother-in-law!"
"Isn't he?" Tang Nan pointed at Su Qing defiantly.
Shen Yi clenched her fists: "He's your father!"
Su Qing: ...
Thank you, thank your whole family.
He hadn't done anything, yet today was the second time he was declared a dad, and the daughter was older than the dad. Where's the justice in that?
"Alright, alright, you two are adults. Why are you still bickering like before? Xiao Su, don't mind them. Even if they do fight, it's just pulling clothes or pinching thighs, nothing serious!" Wen Nanqing said, shaking her head helplessly.
Though the three of them were all beauties, with first-rate figures, looks, and temperament, their personalities were completely different.
The landlady appeared dignified and gentle but was quite seasoned behind the scenes. Shen Yi seemed smart and capable on the surface but was a bit petty and scheming. As for this Tang Nan, she looked like a cool beauty but was genuinely a funny girl.
He couldn't understand how these three could get along together.
And maybe due to their similar ages, Shen Yi and Tang Nan were always in a state of rivalry. Plus, as women, even if they seemed to not care, deep down, no one wanted to admit they were lesser than the other.
On the other hand, Wen Nanqing was a few years older, so she naturally became the older sister. Also, back when they hadn't made a name for themselves, Shen Yi wasn't the big boss of the company, and Tang Nan wasn't a rising star in the entertainment industry. So, the wealthy Wen Nanqing naturally became the leader.
However, hearing this, Su Qing got interested: "Really? Oh man, why are you kicking me!"
Before he even finished, Shen Yi, who was sitting beside him, kicked him lightly with her bare foot.
"Put away your dirty thoughts, got it?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qing was speechless. He hadn't even said anything yet. Why bully people like this? On the contrary, Tang Nan's eyes twinkled, and she suddenly laughed: "Brother-in-law, I actually have quite a few private photos of Xiao Yi in my hands. Here's the deal. If you take good care of your sister, I'll let you have a look!"
"Hey bro, let's talk for a moment!"
Shen Yi: ...
Seeing Su Qing's enthusiastic demeanor, she instantly had the urge to beat him up, wanting to throw them both out together.
Wen Nanqing covered her mouth, chuckling quietly. Speaking of blackmail material, just like Su Qing and Wang Xing, the three of them had plenty as well. While they didn't have any scandalous private photos, they certainly had their share of dirt.
Su Qing's words made Tang Nan laugh heartily. Even though she was a cool beauty, when she laughed, she was like someone completely silly, with her mouth wide open, laughing non-stop.
"Alright, now that you've seen the people, tell us, what brings you to Jiang City? Don't tell me you're here just to see him. The Capital Company is so important, and it can't run without people!" Once Tang Nan had laughed enough, Shen Yi asked.
"Can't I have friends in Jiang City? I'm here to return a favor, and while I'm at it, see you all, and my brother-in-law!"
Tang Nan laughed happily, with a carefree attitude. Just moments ago, she was howling and crying, with her nose bubble out, and now she could laugh heartily. Hmm, no wonder she was in the entertainment industry. Acting skills might not be great, but she sure can put on a show.
Hearing this, Wen Nanqing asked in confusion: "You have friends in Jiang City besides us? How come you never mentioned it before?"
"I have plenty of friends," Tang Nan said proudly, but then sighed, "But they're all people I met after entering the entertainment industry. You know, in this line of work, it's mostly about maintaining appearances. It's rare to build genuine friendships. Especially in the past couple of years, it's been about having fewer friends and more paths. Everyone's cautious. I'd say I'm doing quite well."
Shen Yi: "Speak normally!"
"Um... Next Saturday, a friend of mine is holding a concert in Jiang City, and I'll be a guest performer."
Hearing this, Su Qing and the others exchanged glances, a bit puzzled.
"What? You three don't know? Ziqi, oh my, you guys..." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.
"We're not in the industry, nor do we follow celebrities. A concert has nothing to do with us. Besides, with that rough voice of yours, you can still be a guest performer?" Shen Yi provided a perfect explanation.
Indeed, nowadays, apart from the fans of various artists, few people care about concerts. Su Qing, for one, had no interest. Even if he knew, it would just be an "oh" and he'd carry on with his life.
Of course, this is just for someone like him who doesn't follow celebrities. Someone else might be thrilled.
"What are you talking about? I'm a triple threat in film, TV, and music!"
Wen Nanqing: "Aren't you a model? Since when did you start doing other things?"
Tang Nan: ...
"Sister Wen, she seems to have been on variety shows and acted in movies, but I've never seen her sing!" Su Qing explained from the side.
Hearing this, Wen Nanqing was taken aback. Her days were now filled with taking care of kids, no time for dramas or variety shows, she'd long quit them. Hearing her friend was doing so well, she suddenly felt out of touch.
"Really? When I have time, I'll take a look at your work since we're friends, but I'll pass on the concert. If it were a Liu Dehua concert, I'd be interested."
Su Qing: "If Hu Ge were holding a concert, I'd be interested too, but he's busy!"
The two chatted nonchalantly, completely uninterested, giving Tang Nan a sense of defeat.
Why? Why don't you guys care about such a big deal?
Only Shen Yi giggled: "Should've let someone else talk about it. Nobody here is interested in the entertainment industry. But why are you here a week early when it's next Saturday?"
"Do you think this is my only friend? I have another friend filming here. I'm visiting the set, so you guys have to take care of me this week. I'm not staying in a hotel!" Tang Nan felt defeated. Her proud achievements caught no interest here.
She was still a celebrity. Shen Yi and Wen Nanqing's reactions might be expected, but why did this young man in his early twenties remain so calm?
Shouldn't someone his age be speechless with excitement seeing a big star like her? This isn't right. Could it be I'm not popular anymore?
"Filming in Jiang City? Over in South City?" Su Qing asked.
In the southern suburbs, there was an ancient town, a tourist spot in Jiang City. Though not as quaint as the real Jiangnan towns, it had its charm. Most filming in Jiang City happened there.
"You know?" Tang Nan was a bit excited, finally feeling the celebrity effect: "Wanna know who's filming? Beg me, and I might tell you, plus some entertainment gossip, like who's dating who and what celebrities are really like. I know some things."
Seeing the slightly smug Tang Nan, Su Qing suddenly lost interest in celebrities, even old Hu. What if old Hu is a goofball in private? That'd be disappointing.
"Hey, what's with that look? Are you looking down on me?" Tang Nan was a bit flustered, seeing a hint of disdain in Su Qing's eyes.
"No, I just don't follow celebrities nor care to know."
This inevitably fired up Tang Nan's competitive spirit: "Not interested in even big-name celebrities and gorgeous actresses? I can get you an autographed photo, introduce you, and maybe even arrange a meal together."
Su Qing continued to shake his head: "If they're celebrities, let them stay on TV. What's the use of introducing them to me? Are they going to become my wife?"
Yes, that's his logic. Be it a male or female star, just admire through the screen. Seeing them in person might lead to disappointment. This encounter was a perfect example.
"You have such thoughts?" Tang Nan was shocked, then glanced at Shen Yi, who remained as calm as ever, as if she hadn't heard anything. She gave him a thumbs up: "Young man, you're the most courageous man I've met. Seems like little Yi is totally under your thumb."
"But are you sure?"
Hearing this, Su Qing chuckled: "Of course, I'm sure. I don't follow celebrities!"
"Not even if it's a goddess?"
Su Qing: "...Um... A goddess is an exception!"
Everyone:...
