I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 118 Aren't there a lot of women around you?

Qiu Qing's message was like an ice-cold cola on a summer day, instantly calming and soothing Ye Xian's previously fiery heart.

"Are you done with get out of class?"

At this time, around 11 a.m. in the UK, Qiu Qing should have just finished class.

The voice call came through immediately, and Qiu Qing's clear voice came through amidst the noise of people: "I just got off the subway, you're still awake?"

Ye Xian immediately laughed: "I'm too excited to sleep, what do you suggest we do?"

"If you can't sleep, go for a swim in the sea! We used to do that all the time when we were kids!"

Qiu Qing's voice carried a hint of relaxation: "You, so what if you've become a little famous? What's the big deal?"

Ye Xian lay down on the bed and changed to a more comfortable position: "This sudden surge in popularity is something I've never experienced before. I gained 120 million followers in just one day and one night, and it will probably continue tomorrow. Plus, Jiang Tian will be in my live stream tomorrow night, so this wave might really be huge."

"That amazing?"

Qiu Qing had only heard about Ye Xian's popularity from her mother, but she didn't expect it to be this amazing. Now that she heard about it, he must have become famous.

"It's alright. There are also phenomenal internet celebrities who are even more amazing than me. They can easily gain two or three million in a day," Ye Xian explained.

"Little Xianzi, you've really made something of yourself!"

Qiu Qing joked, "So, you're practically a celebrity now!"

Ye Xian hummed in response but did not reply.

Qiu Qing chuckled softly, "What? You don't want to?"

Ye Xian shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but I'd rather do live-streaming e-commerce. It's easier that way. Last night, so many people suddenly surrounded me, which scared my auntie. It also made me a little afraid of being a celebrity."

"What's wrong with that?"

Qiu Qing held her phone between her head and fingers, took out her keys, opened the door, threw her backpack on the sofa, and poured herself a glass of water.

Then she continued, "First of all, Mom wasn't scared. She was trying to protect you, but you ended up protecting her instead. She praised you a lot when she got back! Little Xianzi, you did a great job! I'll reward you properly next time."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Hearing the sound of drinking water coming from the other end of the phone, Ye Xian suddenly felt that he was also a little thirsty.

"Secondly, what's there to be afraid of? This time it just happened suddenly, and Uncle Ding didn't have a contingency plan. It won't happen next time! Besides, I heard that Sun Li is also coming, along with Qian Duoduo, Zhao Fen, Wang Feifei, Wang Yin, Li Xin, Duan Fei..."

"By the way, aren't you surrounded by a bit too many women?"

Qiu Qing grew angrier as she spoke. She'd only been gone a few days? A month?

How come this guy suddenly has so many women around him?

How did my mom manage to keep the door open?

This place has been robbed and is completely exposed!

Ye Xian touched his nose, his voice tinged with embarrassment: "Really? Isn't Uncle Ding still here?"

"Get lost! Uncle Ding is an elder! You have too many women around you! You better watch out!"

Qiu Qing felt like she was about to explode!

I called to try and calm him down, but the more I talked, the angrier he got!

Sure enough, all men are big pigs!

Ye Xian quickly begged for mercy: "We'll be hiring a few operations staff in the next few days, and I expect a lot of men will be joining!"

Qiu Qing snorted, "That's more like it!"

"Let me tell you, whether or not you become a star is your decision, and I won't influence you! Just like you told me before, it's your future to choose, and I will support you."

But I feel you need to look forward, be bolder, and stop hiding in your little world.

The songs you've released so far are all very good. I played them for my mentor, and he thought they were excellent too, even wanting to cover them in the UK. This proves you have talent and ability; don't waste it.

Singing and selling products aren't mutually exclusive; Aya proved that, didn't she? The two can coexist.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel relieved!"

Ye Xian smiled slightly, genuinely grateful to Qiu Qing for calling at this time.

Often, people know how to choose their future, but they lack the motivation and courage to take that final step. They tend to consult with relatives and friends, mainly to gain their support.

Unfortunately, the reality is that everyone received a bucket of cold water.

It splashed on you until you felt ice-cold all over.

All your lofty ambitions were extinguished in their infancy.

As a result, we have become more mediocre and have learned to discourage others.

"Hmph, it has to be me."

Qiu Qing wrinkled her nose and said smugly, "Then hurry up and give me a reward!"

Ye Xian felt much better and started joking: "You just said you'd reward me handsomely, doesn't this just cancel it out?"

"You little busybody, you're getting the better deal and then acting innocent!"

Qiu Qing grabbed a cushion from the sofa and slammed it onto her lap: "Yours is yours, mine is mine, how can they cancel each other out?"

"Okay, okay, then what do you suggest we do?"

When she's with Qiu Qing, she's always the one begging for mercy; it seems like that's been the case since she was a child.

"Isn't this something you should be thinking about?"

Qiu Qing said angrily, "What kind of reward do you give me? You're such a clueless straight man who doesn't understand romance."

"How about this, sing me a song first to cheer me up."

Which song would you like to hear?

"You choose!"

""I'll hold"?"

"Don't mention that song to me, have you forgotten how it drove me crazy last time?"

Which song would you like to hear?

"You choose!"

……

Time passed quietly, and Ye Xian's voice gradually became low and barely audible. Qiu Qing listened to the increasingly heavy breathing coming from the other end of the phone, and her beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

This guy must be exhausted lately.

A minor incident, a major incident, overnight fame...

In just one month, Ye Xian's experiences, as told by his mother, were quite alarming even to himself, let alone the person involved.

Being a man is often very difficult.

Go to sleep, go to sleep.

Qiu Qing murmured softly.

……

The next morning, Ye Xian, refreshed after a good night's sleep, went for a run on the beach.

Several more figures appeared around him.

There are Li Xin, Duan Fei, and today's protagonist—Jiang Tian.

Today's shoot included this scene, and Jiang Tian, ​​who works out regularly, joined in.

After meeting, the group didn't exchange many pleasantries, but instead started running after warming up.

Bai Jie, Ding Zhan, Sun Li, Jiang Tian's assistant, photographer...

Several people stood aside, helping to film various shots.

Unbeknownst to them, Ye Xian's team was growing stronger.

Previously, when he filmed running scenes alone, he had to go back and forth to find the right angle and pose for the shots.

With the addition of more professionals, he has finally begun to enjoy the treatment a star deserves.

However, upon seeing Ding Zhan early in the morning, he suddenly remembered a question from yesterday, and during a break in filming, he walked up to Ding Zhan.

"Uncle Ding, were those news reports your doing?"

……
