Gigolo
Chapter 7
After Ye Nanting made such a call in front of everyone, the director, who had been making things difficult for him, started to have second thoughts.
Everyone in the entertainment industry knew who Mr. Xia was. He was a big Buddha that needed to be worshipped. No one dared to offend him.
If Xia Zhun was really Ye Nanting's backer, then the director had just lost his job.
Qi Jingwen's expression became a little ugly. He said, "Were you really calling Mr. Xia?
Mr. Xia is not someone that anyone can meet just because they want to. "
Ye Nanting smiled and said, "If you're bored and have nothing to do, then wait with me and see if Xia Zhun will come in a while. Then you'll know if I'm telling the truth."
When Qi Jingwen heard him say this, he felt a little uncertain.
He had known for a long time that Ye Nanting wanted to get close to Xia Zhun, but he had never heard that Xia Zhun had any feelings for Ye Nanting.
Now, why would Xia Zhun rush over just because of a call from Ye Nanting?
Qi Jingwen thought it was impossible. He and Xia Zhun had known each other for many years, and he had never seen him care about any woman or man at all.
Although Xia Zhun was already 30 years old and there was no lack of gossip about him in gossip magazines, the Qi family and Xia family were very close. Therefore, Qi Jingwen knew very well that Xia Zhun was a workaholic who had never been in a serious relationship.
Qi Jingwen had a crush on Xia Zhun for a long time, but no matter how he expressed his feelings, whether it was explicitly or implicitly, Xia Zhun just pretended not to understand.
Everyone else thought that Xia Zhun was taking care of him because he liked him.
Only Qi Jingwen understood that even though Xia Zhun cared for him so much, the relationship between them was still very distant.
Qi Jingwen simply said, "Anyway, I'll be on set in the afternoon, so I'll wait with you."
Ye Nanting nodded generously and said, "Alright, we shouldn't have to wait too long. He'll be here soon."
Xia Zhun was a busy man. The Xia family owned countless companies and businesses, and the entertainment industry was only one of them.
Usually, if Qi Jingwen wanted to ask Xia Zhun out for a meal, he would have to rack his brains and come up with a bunch of excuses to squeeze out a little bit of Xia Zhun's time.
Qi Jingwen did not believe that Xia Zhun would change his afternoon schedule because of Ye Nanting's phone call.
After waiting for about ten minutes, while Qi Jingwen was still firmly convinced, he heard Ye Nanting's happy voice.
Ye Nanting said, "He's here pretty quickly."
Everyone looked up and saw a black luxury car driving over. But this time, there was only one car, and no one was escorted in front.
Xia Zhun got out of the car. Because he was in a hurry, he drove here himself and did not let anyone follow him.
When Qi Jingwen saw this, he was completely stunned. Ye Nanting wasn't lying. Xia Zhun really was here, and he was so fast too.
Ye Nanting almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Looking at Qi Jingwen's dazed expression, he found it especially interesting.
Ye Nanting was actually a very, very petty person. Ever since he was young, he couldn't take the slightest bit of grievance from others. An eye for an eye was his most basic principle.
When others didn't provoke him, he couldn't be bothered to make a move. But if someone provoked him, he would definitely fight back to the end without any mercy.
Xia Zhun stopped the car and walked over to Ye Nanting.
Of course, he saw that Qi Jingwen was also there. He walked over and said to Qi Jingwen, "Xiao Qi, why are you here too?
Did Ye Nanting make things difficult for you again? "
Qi Jingwen's face was pale. It was written all over his face that he had been greatly wronged, but he said, "No, you misunderstood. I was just talking to Ye Nanting just now. He didn't do anything to me."
He said it so ambiguously that Xia Zhun frowned. He actually felt that Ye Nanting had bullied Qi Jingwen.
Xia Zhun was a little unhappy. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Nanting.
Ye Nanting calmly met his gaze and said with a smile, "Why are you looking at me?"
"You …" Xia Zhun had just said one word when he was interrupted by Ye Nanting.
Ye Nanting lifted his chin and took two steps closer to Xia Zhun. He still had a smile on his face as he patted his chest and said, "If I really bullied him, what are you going to do to me?
Huh? "
Xia Zhun's face darkened. Ye Nanting's words were also very ambiguous. How could he not tell that Ye Nanting was threatening him?
And the people around them, whether it was Han Linqi, the director, or Qi Jingwen, all misunderstood. They thought that Ye Nanting was acting coquettishly with Xia Zhun.
Xia Zhun swallowed his anger and grabbed Ye Nanting's wrist. He said, "Come with me. Let's go somewhere else to talk."
Ye Nanting raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you came back, alright then.
But I'm hungry. I didn't have enough for lunch. Let's go for lunch. "
Xia Zhun was a little impatient, but he thought that if he didn't agree, Ye Nanting would probably cause trouble again, so he could only say, "Okay."
Qi Jingwen's face turned even paler. He had known Xia Zhun for so many years, but he had never seen him so obedient to him. Every time he asked him out for lunch, Xia Zhun would always say that he didn't have time. He had never been so straightforward before.
Qi Jingwen gritted his teeth and chased after him. He said, "I want to go too. I haven't had lunch yet either. Let's go together."
When Ye Nanting heard that, he knew what Qi Jingwen was planning. He looked like he wanted to see the world burn and said straightforwardly, "Sure, the more the merrier. Let's go together."
Xia Zhun immediately said, "No."
Qi Jingwen froze for a moment and said, "Why not?"
Xia Zhun said, "Ye Nanting and I have something to talk about. Let's have lunch together next time."
Qi Jingwen felt very wronged. What was there to talk about? In his eyes, Xia Zhun really treated Ye Nanting very differently. They probably wanted to go on a date, so he didn't want to bring him along.
Ye Nanting looked troubled and said, "What should we do?
Xia Zhun doesn't want to bring you along. "
When Qi Jingwen heard Ye Nanting add fuel to the fire, he was so angry that his whole body started to tremble.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and simply turned around to leave in a huff.
Xia Zhun frowned, but he didn't chase after Qi Jingwen. He only looked back.
Ye Nanting clicked his tongue twice and patted Xia Zhun's arm and said, "Go after him. The little beauty is angry. It wouldn't be good if you don't go after her."
Xia Zhun looked at him coldly and said, "What's there to chase after?
Come with me and we'll talk things out. "
Ye Nanting was indeed a little hungry, so he simply followed Xia Zhun into the base's restaurant. Xia Zhun even specially asked for a private room and closed the door so that it would be easier to talk.
Ye Nanting held the menu and pondered over it. It was full of dishes that he had never tried before.
There was a much richer variety of dishes than the ones in his original world. It was a little dazzling.
Ye Nanting pondered for a long time and called for the waiter to order a lot of food.
Xia Zhun wanted to quickly talk things over with Ye Nanting, so he patiently waited for him to order. He waited for a full 20 minutes.
When the waiter finally left, Xia Zhun immediately said, "Give me the video."
Ye Nanting said, "I'm not giving it to you."
Xia Zhun's face darkened again. He said, "If you're not giving it to me, then why did you call me over?
I'm very busy with work. "
Ye Nanting said calmly, "I called you over to support me."
Xia Zhun was speechless.
Xia Zhun also saw the situation just now and understood a little. He just didn't expect Ye Nanting to be so calm. He didn't even try to hide it and directly told him.
Xia Zhun was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Ye Nanting sized him up and said, "You're really quite useful. The moment you showed up, the expressions of the director and Qi Jingwen all changed."
Xia Zhun was speechless.
Xia Zhun suddenly felt a headache coming on. To be honest, he hadn't had a headache in a long time. He didn't have a headache when it came to large projects that cost several billion yuan. But as long as he saw Ye Nanting, he would have a terrible headache.
Ye Nanting was still thinking about the expressions on everyone's faces just now. He said, "Don't worry, I was very satisfied with your performance just now. If you can continue to perform so well, I won't give your video to anyone else."
"Ye Nanting, you —"
Xia Zhun was so angry that he wanted to throw a tantrum. But coincidentally, the waiter knocked on the door and walked in with the dishes, interrupting Xia Zhun.
The waiter brought in a lot of dishes and placed them on the table one by one. Then he left.
Ye Nanting looked at the dishes on the table and even stood up to change the position of his plate. He pointed at the dishes placed in front of Xia Zhun and said, "Sweet and sour pork, braised pork with rock sugar, and carroted sweet potatoes. I specially ordered all of these for you as a reward for your hard work."
Xia Zhun looked down at the table and revealed a rare look of surprise. He frowned and said, "How did you know what I like?"
Ye Nanting laughed when he heard that. He said, "Don't worry, I didn't investigate you. I was just guessing."
Ye Nanting was indeed guessing randomly, but there was also a hint of probing in it.
Xia Zhun, his arch-enemy in his original world, especially liked to eat sweets.
He clearly looked cold and righteous, but he couldn't eat spicy food at all. He even liked sweets very much. If word got out, no one would believe it and would think that Ye Nanting was spouting nonsense.
Ye Nanting secretly sized up the man in front of him. He pondered in his heart. Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?
The same name, the same appearance, and even the same taste?
It was really strange.
Could it be that the person in front of him was really his nemesis, Xia Zhun?
But the Xia Zhun in front of him didn't seem to recognize him at all and even let him bully him. Ye Nanting really couldn't understand.
And Xia Zhun clearly didn't believe his words. He felt that Ye Nanting was patronizing him.
Xia Zhun liked sweets, but no one knew about this. His mother did know in the past, but she had passed away a long time ago.
He was usually busy with work. Although he liked dishes, he was never picky. So no one knew about it. Qi Jingwen, who boasted that he had followed Xia Zhun since he was young, didn't know about this.
Xia Zhun frowned and glanced at Ye Nanting again.
Ye Nanting couldn't understand, so he decided not to think about it. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating his second lunch.
Xia Zhun looked at Ye Nanting, trying to find some clues. But for some reason, he couldn't find anything strange. Instead, he looked a little fascinated.
Inexplicably, he felt that Ye Nanting looked a little familiar. Every movement of Ye Nanting's seemed like deja vu. It made his heart throb.
Xia Zhun reached out and pressed his hand to his heart. He frowned.
When he came back to his senses, he met Ye Nanting's amber eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Xia Zhun said.
Ye Nanting laughed and said, "You're clearly the one who's been staring at me. Do I look like sweet and sour pork?"
Xia Zhun did look at Ye Nanting in a daze. But how could he admit to something like that? He said, "I wasn't looking at you. I was just thinking about work."
"Really?" Ye Nanting's smile widened. He said, "I thought you were charmed by me."
Xia Zhun didn't know why, but when he heard his words, he felt like he had seen through him.
But how was that possible? Ye Nanting was just a pretty boy who wanted to rely on others to get ahead. What ability did he have to charm Xia Zhun? Xia Zhun had seen the world.
