Chapter 44 Something's inside his body?!
After getting off the bus, Liu Chun quickly glanced around the restaurant. The only person who stood out was a man sitting by the window. His eyes were looking out the window, and there was no food on the table. He was obviously waiting for someone.
The agent looked in the direction of the person, pointed to it, and said to Liu Chun, "He's over there. Let's go over there now."
Recalling his memories, the man sitting there waiting was named Hai Xuan, someone Liu Chun had met while drinking somewhere before. As for whether he was there to collect a debt, he was certain that he wasn't.
However, everyone had drunk too much at the time, so they made some promises in front of many people, and Liu Chun ended up owing the other party a favor because of it.
What goes around comes around.
"You two are finally here! I thought you were going to stand me up."
The agent reached out and grasped his hand: "Of course not!"
"Brother Liu and I were just a little delayed on the way, but we're here now."
"That's right, waiter, start serving the food."
Hai Xuan looked at Liu Chun and liked him no matter how she looked at him, but he wasn't a perverted "gay man". Instead, she remembered what they had talked about before.
"Brother Liu, oh my, I heard from this agent earlier that Brother Liu is now a real actor, and he earns quite a bit from each film. Congratulations!" Hai Xuan laughed loudly, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that Liu Chun was an actor. Soon, it attracted the attention of several people at the next table.
Liu Chun said expressionlessly, "They're just minor actors, nothing to be proud of. But Hai Xuan, what about you?"
"The industry has been sluggish lately, so I haven't done anything yet. I'm just sitting around doing nothing, unlike Brother Liu, who gets offers to act all the time. I'm so envious! Hahaha..."
"As long as you're willing to look, opportunities will definitely come."
……
The two chatted briefly for a while, and then the dishes were served, and they started eating.
Gradually, the voice disappeared.
After exchanging a few glances, the agent and Haixuan immediately started talking again.
Hai Xuan poured three glasses of wine, then stood up and said, "Brother Liu, now that I'm in trouble, will you keep your promise and help me out?"
Liu Chun picked up his wine glass and stood up in confusion, completely unaware of what he was talking about: "Brother Hai, what do you mean by this?"
"Does that mean that just because I made money from acting, I have to share some with you?"
"Hey, that's not how it works. I wouldn't do something like that, brother." Hai Xuan paused for a few seconds before continuing, "But for someone as high-status as Brother Liu, if you could help introduce me to a role so I can get some acting experience, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Liu Chun's lips curled into a slight smile: "So, what kind of role would you like to play?"
"Of course, it should be a role one level below the male lead. After all, I also need to earn money to support my family and make a living. This request isn't unreasonable, is it?" Hai Xuan asked, without making any excessive demands right away.
Liu Chun jokingly said, "How about I just give you my lead role? After all, you're in trouble right now, and I have to lend a hand to keep my promise!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Xuan was overjoyed: "If Brother Liu is really willing to give up the male lead role, then I'll definitely be very happy, hahaha..."
"But do you think that's possible?" Liu Chun changed the subject, his whole demeanor becoming much more solemn.
Hai Xuan maintained her smile, but it quickly became stiff: "Brother Liu, you're not even willing to help me with the smallest favor. It seems that after I did you such a big favor before, this is the result I got in return."
"It's just giving up my seat so we can all have a drink together, right? It's not like you saved my life—" Liu Chun explained, "Helping is fine, but according to the ways of the entertainment industry, you can only start as an extra, maybe get one or two shots at most. To get a role right away, I'm afraid you're not qualified!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight, the agent quickly pulled them down to sit down and said, "Brother Liu, you don't lack roles at all right now. How about this, you talk to the two directors and give up the male lead role. Anyway, this kind of thing only happens once, so who will care?"
"Right?"
Hai Xuan immediately burst into laughter again, feeling greatly wronged: "Brother Liu, I'm the one in trouble now! I came to you because I wanted to get a role and earn money, but you want me to be an extra. What's the point of me coming to you then?"
At this moment, Liu Chun was helpless, but no matter what, he couldn't just throw away his own job now, so he definitely couldn't just give up the male lead position.
"If you want to act, start from the basics and become an excellent actor through your own efforts. So I won't offer you any higher positions. This is also to help you, so that you don't fall harder if you stand too high."
After saying that, Liu Chun stood up and faced the window, not wanting to waste any more words with Hai Xuan, since the other party had no intention of humbly asking for his help.
Anyway, he's already made his statement, and whether Haixuan listens or not is her own business.
Behind her, Hai Xuan was furious: "...You heard what he was saying too. I really misjudged him. Now that you're rich, you can't even help with this little thing. I really don't know how you got your status as an actress...Could it be...?"
After her agent offered some words of advice, Hai Xuan calmed down. But when she saw Liu Chun, she couldn't wait to go up and teach him a lesson first.
"Lost it... Damn it! They used to say they'd never forget each other even in wealth and honor, but now look at them, living it up all by themselves, unwilling to even help with such a small favor. Quite arrogant, huh!"
Liu Chun said helplessly, "You wouldn't go even if I asked you to be an extra?"
Give me the male lead!
"No!"
Hai Xuan clapped her hands and stood up: "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony anymore. I'll transfer this favor to my agent and I won't bother Brother Liu again. Anyway, this is what I insist on, and I won't change it."
"Hey! You!"
Before Liu Chun could speak, Hai Xuan had already run out and quickly disappeared from sight.
How can he run so fast?
Suddenly, Liu Chun seemed to remember something. Hai Xuan's aura was similar to that of his agent! Could it be that he had also absorbed the mysterious power from the 'ancient artifact' and thus learned to cultivate 'internal strength' like the ancients?
"Brother Liu, it seems he really is your friend, but he's already done me a favor like this. What should I do next?"
Liu Chun quickly recovered and said, "What do you think?"
"How about this, Hai Xuan, who just spoke, also works for our company. How about I use that favor now and you come to our company for a while? What do you think?"
Is it a company?
This must be your real purpose, right?
Liu Chun suddenly asked, "So, do you still want me to pay you back?"
The agent smiled wryly: "As long as you agree to come to our company, that little bit of money is nothing. We'll pay you back tomorrow."
What is their purpose in going to such lengths to get me involved?
[Attention! An anomaly detected in the 'antique'.]
At this moment, Liu Chun suddenly froze, after all, only he and his agent were still there, and the system was issuing this warning...
Could it be... that thing is inside his body?!
If it really was the agent who absorbed that tiger statue, then maybe others could too. If not, then it just means there's no real connection... But he really did put that huge ornament into his body.
That's incredible!
