Under Qiao Wen’s probing gaze, Chen Jianan turned his head away and looked casually, seemingly saying ‘Why are you looking at me like this?’.

Initially Qiao Wen was bit suspicious but now he was sure that this was a masterpiece of Chen Jianan, he shook his head with a chuckle. Although he didn’t like Chen Jianan resorting to physical violence, it didn’t hurt to use it on someone like Eisen, always to discredit himself.

He no longer pressed on the question, only placed his chin on Chen Jianan’s shoulder and smiled: “Brother Nan, thank you!”

Qiao Wen was always closer to Chen Jianan, in the past they even hugged to sleep shirtless and was also embraced each other, at the time Chen Jianan had no other thought from his younger brother depend on him, and he has to look after him. 

However, at this moment, Qiao Wen’s face was stuck next to his neck, and his short hair pricked on his side of his ear, making him want to scratch it, he felt that his heart was itching to go ape, and shudder.

“Um… Xiao Qiao, you sit well, be careful to not fall down.”

Qiao Wen laughed and sat upright, just for the sake of “be careful” in his mouth, the hands that were holding on to his waist changed to tightly embrace his thin waist, and was sticking close to him as one.

Chen Jianan calmly started the bike and sped on, but on inside he roared like a beast and wanted to slap his mouth for “Be Careful”, this few minutes journey to the Walled City felt like years for Chen Jianan and finally reached the tenement building. 

Sending Qiao Wen to the second floor, Chen Jianan bid goodbye and intent to climb upstairs directly. Qiao Wen called out and asked casually: “Brother Nan, are you coming down to sleep tonight?”

Chen Jianan, who was yet to calm on the journey almost lost his foot under his invitation. He scratched the back of his head and said, “No, isn’t Haozi and me changed our beds recently? It’s quite spacious, so I won’t come down and squeeze you with bed.”

Qiao Wen who didn’t know his inner turmoil laughed and sincerely invited him once again : “I don’t mind you squeezing a bed with me.”

Chen Jianan said to himself. You don’t mind, but I mind it very much and I hate myself.

Not knowing how to respond to him, he grinned at Qiao Wen, and ran upstairs in three — two steps, it was like if he was running away from giant beast.

Qiao Wen shook his head as he watched his disappearing back.

If Qiao Wen was guessing before, he was very sure now that Chen Jianan was indeed a little weird, as for what was weird, he was not sure yet. But he wasn’t anxious enough to rack his brain or to drag him down to interrogate him to know what it was. Because with Chen Jianan character he couldn’t hold secrets for long and he would confess it soon.

The next morning, at Mingyue Factory.

Qiao Wen had just entered the office as soon as his rear foot took a step he was dragged to the sofa by the angry Lin Zihui, wasting no time he came straight to the point: “Li Xingchen work outside of Tv station was all handled by his cousin. I talked to his cousin on the phone last night. Do you know how much the other party is asking?”

“How much?”

Lin Zihui raised his palm and showed his finger: “500,000 a year, which is higher than many big-name movie stars. They’re really too much, and his cousin attitude is extremely arrogant. Relying on having a big star cousin, he’s as arrogant as two and a half million dollars.”

Qiao Wen groaned that the profession of celebrity agents in this era was far from standardized. For TV stars like Li Xingchen, who were paid per project, taking on private work is not uncommon. Usually, their family or friends manage these projects work.

Qiao Wen had read Li Xingchen’s information and found that his background was very ordinary, even a little poor. He became famous overnight, gained both fame and fortune. So for one person to achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven, it was not surprising for the people around him became swollen because he had such a cash machine.

However, the Li Xingchen he saw in the newspapers and magazines was a humble gentleman, a stark contrast to the one coming from Lin Zihui’s mouth, and he didn’t know whether it was his true character or appearance he portrait in outside.

“Half a million dollars a year is indeed too expensive, I’ll try to see if I can get past his cousin and find Li Xingchen to talk directly.”

Lin Zihui said: “The big star is very busy, he doesn’t care about these things at all, if you want to find him you can only go through his cousin. There are so many drama fans downstairs at Baozhu Terrace every day, but they never caught his glimpse. How can you find him?”

Qiao Wen laughed: “I can’t find him, but the paparazzi in Hong Kong City who are following him surely know his schedule, just spending some money we can buy his schedule.”

“Yes, that’s right. I almost forgot paparazzi are best to bribe.”

After the agreement, Qiao Wen went to contact a tabloid paparazzo that had recently specialized in following Li Xingchen. The other party was really money-minded, and after receiving 100 yuan, he generously gave him Li Xingchen’s next day’s itinerary.

Qiao Wen really felt that the paparazzi in Hong Kong City really deserves its reputation, and their tracking ability was comparable to that of the police. 

Tomorrow Li Xingchen had a private meal with a rich young master at high-end Western restaurant in Sai Kung district.

Next day at Sai Kung District.

Last night Qiao Wen prepared a well plan of blending into the restaurant and finding an opportunity to talk to Li Xingchen. 

But only when he arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, he realized that the restaurant had fully reserved and no one could get in at all.

In fact, he just gave it a try and was not disappointed. So he turned around to leave but caught a glimpse of several sneaky paparazzi lying in the street outside the restaurant. But among them one was particularly conspicuous, tall, wearing a peaked cap, with a camera hanging in front of him, watching the restaurant’s movement closely, for fear of accidentally missing it.

Isn’t this Jiang Yufeng?
