45. Chapter 45
Zhou An didn't say anything yet, he then comforted: "The matter hasn't been decided yet, wait for me to talk about it first." Don't think about it, you've worked hard. โ
Hearing this sentence now, Zhou An felt that it was too ironic.
Guan Ce is right, if he really did his best, how could he lose his first chance to be a starring actor because of a scandal?
However, Song Yutao would say such things to surprise him, although he usually has a poisonous tongue, it cannot be denied that he is indeed a responsible agent.
"I'm sorry for you." Zhou An said in a low voice.
Upon hearing the news, he was unusually calm.
Hanging up the phone, Zhou An looked at Guan Ce's used water cup in a daze, and kept replaying what the other party had said in his mind.
After a long time, he buried his face in the palm of his hand and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Zhou An, you deserve it!" โ
This report of the "unspoken rules" is like a super flu virus, which spreads quickly through the Internet.
Tieba, forums, and Weibo fell one after another, and there was a lot of scolding under Weibo with the name of "Qiao Yuan", and even some fans of Shao Bing joined in the scolding war against him, saying that he "wants to eat swan meat โกโก leprosy", "little white face is shameless" and so on.
If it was before, Zhou An would definitely not care about this, because in his opinion, why should he care about other people's thoughts for things he hasn't done.
But after the conversation with Guan Ce, he began to reflect on whether it was because he was too self-egoistic, so he was so easy to recruit blackmail?
In the past few days, Song Yutao has been busy communicating with the producer of the micro-film, that is, Zhou Tao, striving to secure the position of the male protagonist for Zhou Bao. Zhao Jun was holding the tablet all day and scrolling through the news, his brows furrowed.
Zhou An is estimated to be the most laid-back person, but that is only on the surface. In fact, since Guan Ce left his house last time, Zhou An didn't dare to take the initiative to contact the other party.
It's not that I'm afraid of being disciplined by the other party again, but I feel that I don't have the face to see Guan Ce.
Zhou An considers himself a hard-working man, and since he left the orphanage at the age of fifteen, he has been telling him every day to do his best to live as a human being.
In order to take advantage of the opportunity to observe the classroom, he took a job as a school cleaner, and worked like a sponge to absorb whatever knowledge he could learn every day between work.
When he was a little older, he began to work on construction sites. The work on the construction site is a little more than enough to eat, and he has more time to study.
In this way, with a spirit of not admitting defeat, Zhou An was stunned to get a graduation certificate from a junior college.
Later, by chance, he participated in the filming of a movie, and seeing the performances of the actors, he suddenly found a new direction in his life, and suddenly understood what he was living for.
During the time when he was waiting for the film and television city, Zhou An never stopped learning, he always thought that he was different from those people around him who were messing around him day by day, he had dreams, and he also had the determination to realize his dreams, and he firmly believed that one day he would realize them.
Then, he really achieved it - reborn as Qiao Yuan.
Zhou An looked at the man who only showed a pair of eyes in the mirror, calmed down, and quietly left the house while Zhao Jun went out to buy vegetables.
He didn't receive any news from Zhou An for three days, and Guan Ce was a little uneasy.
He rarely regrets what he has done, but in the past few days, he has constantly reflected on whether the words he said to Zhou An before were too heavy.
Compared with other artists, Zhou An is very dedicated, does not play big names, except for some ego, there is no big problem. People have a temper, and they can't force him to become a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing.
Just thinking about it, the phone rang, and Zhao Jun's panicked voice came from the other end: "Guan, Mr. Guan, Brother Yuan is gone!" โ
"What?!" Guan Ce frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation, be careful." โ
Zhao Jun looked at the empty room and was about to cry: "I went out to buy vegetables, and it only took me ten minutes, and I didn't see Brother Yuan when I came back." I called him, but it never answered. โ
"Let's see if his papers are still there."
Guan Ce's voice was very steady, with a reassuring power, Zhao Jun also knew that he couldn't panic at this time, so he immediately walked to the coat rack and rummaged through: "The wallet is still there, and the ID card is also there." โ
"Don't panic, he must not have gone far, otherwise he wouldn't have brought no money."
Zhao Jun snorted: "But where will he go?" Now there are so many reporters outside waiting to block him, in case ......"
"It's going to be fine." Guan Ce was determined.
"Hmm." Zhao Jun's heart finally settled down, thought about it, and whispered to Guan Ce, "Mr. Guan, this matter is not Brother Yuan's fault, can we not ...... Don't blame him? โ
Guan Ce looked at the hazy mountains in the distance, and sighed inaudibly: "No one blames him, this is his responsibility." โ
"I understand." Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Brother Yuan is working very hard, he has been improving all the time, I think we can give him more time." โ
"I'll think about what you said."
Zhao Jun is not Zhou An, and Guan Ce will inevitably use a business-like tone towards him. However, Zhao Jun is just a small assistant, and it is unruly to call Guan Ce directly if he has something.
Even if Guan Ce didn't realize this, it was impossible for Zhao Jun, a person who takes his work very seriously, not to have this awareness.
Therefore, the reason why he called Guan Ce was not what he said before.
After being silent for a few seconds, Zhao Jun finally mustered up the courage to say, "Mr. Guan, Brother Yuan really cares about you very much, he suddenly went out, can you ...... Can you give him a call, he will definitely answer! โ
Guan Ce paused for a few seconds and said, "I know." โ
hung up the phone, but Guan Ce didn't call Zhou An immediately. He pinched his mobile phone and looked at the water cup left by Zhou An on the table in a daze.
According to Zhou An's character, he shouldn't be affected by such a report, so what made him "run away from home" was really his own words?
Want to call? He never seemed to have taken the initiative to call Zhou An because of a private matter, but today's incident is not a private matter.
In the end, Guan Ce's call was still called. But unfortunately, Zhou An didn't answer.
A few minutes later, Zhao Jun called to say that he had found Zhou An's mobile phone in his room, indicating that Zhou An had taken almost nothing with him when he went out.
Zhao Jun was very worried about Zhou An's safety, for fear that he would run away from home. Guan Ce wasn't too worried, Zhou An's kid wasn't so easy to be knocked down, at most he just went out for a walk.
Unexpectedly, Zhou An didn't go home until dark. At this time, not only Zhao Jun, but even Guan Ce, who had always been calm, began to worry.
"Mr. Guan, why don't we call the police?" Zhao Jun's voice was obviously crying.
Guan Ce was driving around the street, hoping to see Zhou An, and when he heard the words, he said, "Look for it again." โ
The gust of wind of the scandal has not passed, and if it disappears again, it will be a big deal.
Guan Ce drove around the street for more than an hour, searching all the places where Zhou An might go, but he didn't see anyone.
Where will it go?
No matter what aspect it is, Zhou An is not a person who will run away in a negative mood. Could it really be that something happened as Zhao Jun thought?
Guan Ce's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened, and his feelings gradually began to be irritable.
At this time, he turned into a brightly lit alley, and the road was lined with various food stalls, which seemed to be a lively night market.
The aroma of food slowly seeped into the car, and Guan Ce smelled the aroma of barbecue.
That's right! A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, thinking of the community that Zhou An took him to last time, and looking at Zhou An's familiar attitude there, he was very likely to be there.
With a goal, Guan Ce stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the Fulin community!
As the night deepened, Zhou An sat at a simple folding table, holding a beer glass in one hand and pinching the end of chopsticks in the other, casually pulling on the plate.
Surrounded by people enjoying the nightlife wantonly, the laughter and laughter mixed with the aroma of food at any controlled volume constitute the most authentic scene of the night market.
In such a noisy environment, Zhou An's heart was extraordinarily calm, and all kinds of things before his rebirth kept coming to his mind.
All along, he thinks that he cherishes this hard-won second life very much, and does his best to realize the dream that was once out of reach, and he feels that he has a clear conscience.
But the facts slapped him hard, not to mention moving towards his dream step by step, look at him now, he is riddled with scandals, and the film he starred in for the first time is likely to be replaced, and he is so badly mixed, how can he be embarrassed to say that he did his best?
But what's wrong?
Zhou An sighed, threw the chopsticks on the table, picked up the wine glass and drank it to the sky, reached out to touch the wine bottle under his feet, but touched a piece of warm skin.
"Who?!" Zhou An was startled, and quickly turned his head, seeing that Guan Ce actually appeared here, his mind was briefly blank.
Guan Ce glanced at him, filled him with wine, and then sat down across from him and looked at Zhou An without saying a word.
His eyes made Zhou An feel inexplicably empty, and the wine suddenly disappeared without a trace, and asked softly: "You, why are you here?" โ
Guan Ce looked at him slowly, and snorted lightly: "Finally know that you have to disguise yourself when you go out?" โ
Zhou An heard the sarcasm in his words, laughed dryly, and at the same time sensed that Guan Ce was angry.
If it was usual, Zhou An would definitely come up with a hippie smile, and he would be coaxed to dissipate Guan Ce's anger in a few words. But he had something on his mind today, and he originally planned to go back to see Guan Ce after he figured it out, but he didn't expect that people would suddenly come to him and see him so decadent.
Zhou An's heart was as if he had knocked over the cruet, and when he heard the words, he only smiled reluctantly, and then stared at the fried rice on the table that had been cold.
