The photo shows Shen Antu's back as he is busy in the kitchen. He has his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and the fair skin on his arms looks so white under the fluorescent light that it seems like a second light source.
Zhou Minghui noticed that Xie Duo looked strange and asked him, "What happened?"
Xie Duo put away his phone: "No, I asked Xie Wenxuan to test him today."
Zhou Minghui was puzzled: "Xie Wenxuan? What can he do with a love-brained mind? I don't understand why you want to let him manage Beichen Entertainment."
Xie Duo did not answer his question immediately. The car stopped at a red light. There happened to be a cake shop on the side of the road. A mother and son were standing at the door. The child was crying and asking for cake.
Xie Duo pointed at the mother and son and asked Zhou Minghui: "When you were a child, if you wanted to eat cake and your mother didn't give it to you, what would you do?"
"Just cry and ask for it like this, or steal money from home and buy it yourself." Zhou Minghui didn't guess what Xie Duo meant, and waited for him to explain.
"Do you know what Xie Wenxuan did? He told his mom that his cousin was in a bad mood because his exam results were not ideal, so he wanted to buy me a cake to make me happy."
The green light came on and the car started, leaving the roadside cake shop behind.
"The next day he brought the cake to school and back again, and told his mom that I didn't like cake and wanted to give me a different gift. Two days later, I received a courier, which was a limited edition fountain pen, of which there were only ten in the country."
Xie Duo took out his cell phone again, swiped the lock screen, pressed a few times and put it back.
Zhou Minghui was confused: "So this kid is a nice guy?"
Xie Duo smiled: "Xie Wenxuan knew that I don't eat sweets, and that I always ranked first in school. He said he bought me a cake just because he wanted to eat it. He brought the cake to school that day and didn't come to see me. I didn't know anything about it until I received the pen. I already had that pen, and my own was broken by Xie Wenxuan a week before this happened. I told him that he could either compensate me with another one, or I would beat him up every time I saw him."
After that, Xie Duo added: "Xie Wenxuan was only six years old at the time and had just entered the first grade of elementary school."
Zhou Minghui was amazed: "I can't believe it. Hasn't he been chasing after a female star who is more than ten years older than him for many years? I always thought he was just a love-brained person!"
After a while Zhou Minghui realized: "That's why you let him go to see Miss Shen."
The car stopped at a high-end club. Xie Duo said before the driver opened the door: "If his amnesia is fake, let's see who can pretend better."
Chapter 10 Now His Name is Shen Antu
Xie Wenxuan felt very complicated as he looked at Shen Antu who was setting the table for him.
When Xie Duo called him today and asked him to deliver the album to Shen Antu, Xie Wenxuan was extremely reluctant because he had some hidden feelings towards Shen Antu.
About two years ago, Xie Wenxuan had dinner with some friends at a club and was about to drive home. His car was parked a little far away, and he had to walk a distance from the back door to get there.
That stretch of road was not an alley, it was just a bit secluded. After walking a few steps, Xie Wenxuan saw several burly men blocking a thin middle-aged man, and it was unclear what they were threatening him with.
Xie Wenxuan felt that the middle-aged man looked familiar, and only later remembered that he seemed to be someone from the City Hall.
At that time, Xie Wenxuan thought, what era is this? There are surveillance cameras everywhere, why are they still using this trick
Xie Wenxuan had the Xie family behind him, and he was not someone who was afraid of trouble, but he also didn't want to meddle in other people's business. He walked past them openly while watching the fun. When he passed a telephone pole, he saw a red light out of the corner of his eye. It was someone smoking in the shadow of the pole.
The area behind the electric pole is beyond the reach of street lights and is also a blind spot for surveillance.
Xie Wenxuan thought this was indeed a good spot. He subconsciously stared at it for a few seconds and suddenly recognized that the person standing there smoking was none other than Shen Antu, who was a well-known figure in the industry at the time.
Shen Antu was standing against the electric pole, with a cigarette in his hand, his hair combed back, and he was wearing a suit and tie. He was as elegant as he could be, but the way he looked at Xie Wenxuan was as if he was looking at an ant.
Xie Wenxuan's hair stood on end, and he didn't care about his image anymore. He ran away, asked for leave from the company the next day, and hid abroad for half a month.
So Xie Wenxuan originally refused to agree to meet Shen Antu, but Xie Duo knew about his death.
Xie Wenxuan has been pursuing a famous female star in the entertainment industry for several years. He started when he was in school and continued to pursue her until he took over Beichen Entertainment under Ruiqian.
This morning, Xie Duo suddenly called him and asked him for a favor. As long as Xie Wenxuan did a good job, he would agree to recruit the actress to Beichen.
Xie Wenxuan smelled a hint of conspiracy: "So what do you want me to do?"
Xie Duo: "It's very simple. Go to my villa and give a photo album to someone, and then chat with him. Aren't you the best at socializing?"
Xie Wenxuan laughed twice: "Don't praise me, just say it directly."
Xie Duo then said directly: "I know you are good at pretending, go and help me look for someone."
Xie Wenxuan: "...Okay, who is it?"
"Shen Lin."
Xie Wenxuan thought he had heard wrongly: "Who are you talking about?!"
Xie Duo's deep voice came clearly from the receiver: "Shen Lin, but now he is called Shen Antu, my lover, remember this clearly."
