How did I become famous?

Chapter 107 She's popular, not me (33) 10,000 words updated! Thanks to the patron!

"Why haven't they come back yet?" Su Mulin frowned her delicate eyebrows.

Why does it take this long to buy a pack of cigarettes?

That's right! The real order was to stop him from smoking.

Su Mulin glanced at her watch; more than twenty minutes had passed.

Why hasn't he come back yet?

Miss Su panicked, quickly washed her hands, dried them on her apron, and then took out her phone to make a call.

"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Su Mulin frowned slightly. She opened the door to go out without even taking off her apron.

However, several men in black suits were standing at the door.

Su Mulin's face immediately turned cold. She knew these were people sent by her father: "Where is Fang Bie?"

One of the men in the black suit, who was in the lead, said expressionlessly, "Mr. Fang is fishing with his boss, Miss. Please don't make things difficult for us."

The meaning is quite clear: Miss, you can just stay home and wait patiently.

boom--!

The door was slammed shut.

What did he mean by looking for Fang Bie? Did he want to get rid of him? Or did he want to forcibly take me back?

Leaning against the door, Su Mulin grew increasingly panicked as she thought about it. The words of the "dog-headed strategist" that had corrupted her mind resurfaced in her head.

She took out her phone, looked at the number, gritted her teeth, and dialed it.

The call was connected.

Beside the small pond, Su Xun glanced at his phone discreetly, tapped it, and then casually placed the phone screen-down on his bag.

"Xiao Fang, I didn't hear what you just said clearly, could you repeat it?"

Fang opened his mouth.

A moment of impulsiveness requires courage, but it weakens with time and eventually exhausts itself. He is now...

I can still say that sentence!

"Uncle Su, I think you're wrong."

Fang Bie, male, 25 years old.

In the past twenty years of his life, he has never argued with anyone or had a falling out with anyone.

Everyone who mentions him praises his good temper and high emotional intelligence.

That's because he's been good at reading people since he was a child. He'll go along with what the other person is saying, and even if they disagree, he won't say anything.

A pushover who goes with the flow—that's how he clearly defines himself.

When faced with two people who disagree, he will remain relatively neutral and side with the person who receives more support.

Even if he doesn't actually agree with that person's viewpoint.

That's just the kind of person he is.

They never offend anyone, never get angry, and never try to resist anything.

Fang Bie's dream is to live a peaceful life.

They have no worries about food and clothing, they won't starve, and they can live a peaceful life.

In the end, look back on all the regrets in your life, and smile as you tell yourself, "Ordinary is a blessing."

To put it bluntly, Fang Bie has no dreams.

But Su Mulin has it.

When Su Mulin told him that she had a dream with a sparkle in her eyes that day, Fang Bie felt that she was really cool.

Therefore, her dream should not be denied.

Fang may not have his own dreams, but he can be someone who protects the dreams of others.

So he raised his head and repeated the sentence for the third time:

"Uncle Su, I think you're wrong. Xiao Lin has her dreams, and you shouldn't deny her."

I'm only a 25-year-old young man. Is it okay to be impulsive and act recklessly sometimes?

Moreover, he wasn't reckless.

Anyway, his next goal is to make indie games.

Just as he said to Yan Shuangying, "I can't ask you for help, so why should I be afraid of you?"

So he has nothing to worry about anymore.

Old Man Su was overjoyed.

This guy dared to talk back to me for his daughter's sake. He's a loyal and righteous young man! No wonder he's Brother Fang's son!

Although he appeared like a friendly uncle next door in front of Fang Bie, he had long held a high position, so he skillfully concealed his smile deep in his eyes.

"Xiao Fang, you know about the Su Group, right?"

Fang nodded: "I know."

This business giant spans several industries and is said to currently have a market value of several hundred billion US dollars.

Old Man Su looked him over with interest: "Do you know what the consequences will be if you offend me?"

Fang Bie said in a deep voice, "I know."

But I'm not afraid! At worst, I'll just run away to make indie games overseas! And I can even latch onto Tom's coattails and make money off "superhero movies"!

"Since you know the consequences," Old Man Su leisurely exhaled a smoke ring, "if you take back what you said, I can pretend nothing happened."

Please don't take it back.

Seeing that Fang Bie remained silent, Old Man Su began to worry again.

Was I too harsh? Should I have acted the same way I do with my subordinates?

Old Man Su also began to struggle with the decision.

And the phone is still connected; my dear daughter is listening right now. Xiao Fang, you'd better put in some effort!

That's all the help your uncle can give you.

Fang Bie was indeed struggling with the decision.

It's easy to be passionate for a moment, but it's hard to maintain that passion.

To put it nicely, his personality is characterized by prioritizing the overall situation and being pragmatic; to put it bluntly, it's characterized by being indecisive and prone to worrying about gains and losses.

But since we've made the decision, we have to stick to it!

What kind of man is he if he can't even accomplish one thing in his entire life?

He stated firmly, "I will not take back this statement, nor will I regret it."

Then his speaking speed suddenly increased.

"Xiao Lin has dreams. I don't know how you usually communicate with her at home, Uncle Su, but I know it must be your fault. You must not have much time to spend with your children at home, right? So Xiao Lin is independent, strong, decisive and free-spirited, but she has not gone astray or picked up bad habits. She is really a very good child."

And her dream wasn't anything heinous; she just wanted to be a big star. I even dreamed of being a scientist!

Many people wander around in society, only to end up covered in wounds and have no choice but to go home and quietly heal.

But some people have no home; for them, there is only a cliff behind them when they turn back!

Xiao Lin has the means! She has the goal! She has the dream! Why can't we let her go and try?

Uncle Su, you must have dreams too, right?

I don't know what your dream is, nor do I know if you have achieved your dream.

But put yourself in her shoes, do you really want Xiao Lin to look back on her life decades later with nothing but a sigh? Especially since this was a dream that was personally crushed by her father.

Uncle Su, let go! Let Xiao Lin go and see what she can do! You and the two Su brothers are her strong support, she won't do anything wrong!

If she tries, she might fail.

But if she doesn't even try, she'll regret it for the rest of her life!

If she fails, she will definitely go home obediently.

Even if she succeeds, can she be a star forever? When she gets tired and fed up, she'll definitely go back!

Uncle Su, you're strong and healthy, can't you even wait a dozen years?

Say it all in one breath, so your mouth won't get dry.

He picked up a bottle of mineral water next to him, opened it, and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, his enthusiasm cooled down.

As soon as it cooled down, cold sweat began to bead up on his forehead.

Am I being too arrogant?

This is just like telling the two "Little Ma"s in a past life that their methods of raising children were wrong.

It feels incredibly scary.

Old Man Su glanced at the phone lying face down and asked calmly, "It's not that I don't support her, but firstly, she's still too young, and secondly, she's a girl. I'm afraid she'll suffer outside, so I haven't let her go out and make her own way like her two brothers. Boys can mature quickly by experiencing the trials of society. But I can't bear to do that to a girl. Xiao Fang, you understand what I mean?"

I've hinted so obviously, how could you not understand?

Fang Bie certainly didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from saying what he was about to say:

"Uncle Su, I can protect her."

"How will you protect it?"

"I can keep an eye on her and prevent her from being exposed to the bad things in the industry. I can protect her until she becomes a big star."

Old Man Su then asked, "What if she makes inappropriate, animalistic advances while acting?"

Fang Bie's eyes were firm: "That won't happen. I'm the director, so I make the decisions. Besides, she only needs to sing. And to be honest, Xiao Lin can't even act a corpse properly. If we let her act, unless we pull some strings, she probably won't achieve anything."

"..." Old Man Su kept glancing at his phone.

Isn't Xiao Fang a joke?! She says all sorts of bad things about my daughter, and she listens to everything.

Fang, noticing the constant twitching in his eye, found it strange: "Uncle Su, I suggest you don't stay up late so often; it's bad for your eyes. Also, if your eyes feel sore, Zhenshiming eye drops can be quite effective."

"Heh." Old Man Su gave a forced smile. "Xiao Fang, you're a director yourself. Do you really think you can abandon your film and television career to meddle with Xiao Lin's singing?"

Fang took a deep breath and spoke his mind.

He had never been so sincere: "Uncle Su, I have no ambition, no talent, and no passion. I am a person without dreams, I don't want to be famous at all, and I don't want to make any movies."

But I can protect Rin's dream.

I will protect her until the day her dream comes true. And I will also protect her, preventing the sordid affairs of the entertainment industry from interfering with her.

Once she becomes really famous, I can start making games and animations!

How tiring is it to be a celebrity? You're constantly rushing from one event to another, and you have to be mindful of your image and know what you can and can't do.

If my game takes off, won't I be able to just sit back and count my money?

Go to Hawaii if you want! Go to Saipan if you want!

All I need to do is take three days each year to maintain the server!

"Really?" Old Man Su's eyes crinkled with amusement. "Are you sure you can do it?"

Fang Bie's eyes were firm: "This is a promise between two men, Uncle Su. I will not let Su Mulin suffer any harm before she becomes famous."

"Even if it becomes famous, it won't work," Old Man Su added with a smile, then picked up his phone and pressed another button.

"I promise you, kid. If you let my daughter get hurt even a little bit, I'll build you an underwater villa in the Luo River. You can live there for the rest of your life."

At home, Su Mulin, who was standing with her back against the door, put down her phone.

She felt her face burning hot, but the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

Slowly sitting down against the door, Su Mulin buried her face in her arms.

For a long, long time

"Fool."

Is it sweet?
