After reconciling with my ex, I became extremely popular.

In the sweltering heat of September, the temperature reached an unprecedented high in recent years. Although the lush green vegetation blocks some of the heat sources, the road surface is still scorching hot. The water vapor from the irrigation by the flower bed instantly evaporates into a diffuse white mist. Tao Feng is squatting by the roadside with a lollipop in his mouth. Squinting slightly due to the sunlight, he is looking at his mobile phone. —The mobile phone is playing a Weibo video titled "Teach handicapped people how to change tires in five minutes." He hasn't watched it for long when several message pop-ups appear with a buzzing sound. Tao Feng makes a sound of disapproval and turns his phone upright to open WeChat. [Qin Er: "Old Tao."] [Qin Er: "Brother Feng."] [Qin Er: "Fengfengfengfengfengfengfeng."] [Qin Er: "Brother Feng, your house is about to collapse."] Tao Feng presses on the screen with two fingers quickly: "Get lost. Say it directly if you have something to say." ["Give me the honor to have a meal together tonight."] A naughty and inviting expression pops up on the chat interface. [Xu: "I have plans tonight."] [Qin Er: "Damn it. You've been so busy recently. You're always disappearing and reappearing. Are you hiding a beauty?"] [Xu: "Stop talking nonsense. There's no beauty or golden house."] The other person's chat box shows "typing...". Tao Feng casually glances at the time in the upper right corner. It's five forty-five. His expression changes slightly. He directly calls the other person. The other side answers quickly. Through the receiver, Tao Feng hears a loud shout from there first: "There was a foul by the hitter just now." "Can't the referee blow the whistle properly? This is a black whistle! Damn it. I can still get a technical foul even sitting outside. Wait for me after the game. Don't leave!" This series of loud cursing almost makes Tao Feng drop his mobile phone. He smiles and scolds: "Is there a loudspeaker in your mouth?" The other side is silent for a moment. When speaking again, the tone slows down. Compared to just now, it's as gentle as a spring breeze: "What's up? Regretted?" "No." Tao Feng holds the phone between his shoulder and ear. Puts the wrench and jack back into the toolbox. "My car's tire burst on the way. Find someone to tow it back for me. I have something to do at six thirty. I don't have time to deal with it." "Ah, I'm playing a game. I'll be on the court soon." "You can also ask others to call. As long as they can get my car back." Having squatted for too long, when Tao Feng stands up, his leg goes numb and he staggers. "Thanks. I'll treat you to a meal some other day." After hanging up the phone, he closes the trunk with a bang and turns around to wave for a taxi. In Huacheng at nearly six o'clock from five o'clock, it's the rush hour after work. Under the bright blue sky, there is an endless sea of cars. Tao Feng pokes his head out of the car window and frowns. The urging phone rings again. This is already the third one within fifteen minutes. "Brother Wang." Tao Feng suppresses his impatience and tries to make his voice sound more gentle. Wang Wen is the agent responsible for taking care of him after he signed with Guanying Entertainment. He also has two fresh meats with a good upward momentum. Therefore, he looks down on Tao Feng, an older eighteen-line actor. He often shows him unfriendly expressions. Sure enough, as soon as Agent Wang opens his mouth, it's a series of rapid questions: "Tao Feng, where are you now? If you dare to mess up at such an important dinner tonight and make the investor unhappy and affect my year-end rating, you won't be able to take on any dramas in the next year!" "I..." The answer is a series of busy tones. Calm down. Calm down. Tao Feng holds his mobile phone and takes a deep breath. Then he reaches into his pocket and takes out his wallet. Takes out a hundred yuan and gives it to the driver: "Master, I'll get off here. Keep the change." After running down the road in a roundabout way, he scans a yellow bike with peeling paint in front of a small shop on the street. With creaking sounds all the way and pedaling hard, he finally arrives at the agreed dinner place on time. There is orange sunset glow in the sky. Street lamps on both sides of the street light up one after another. This is one of the top restaurants in Huacheng. With antique decoration and warm yellow lights, it looks a bit like an ancient painting with some noise added. When coming out of the elevator, Tao Feng is hesitating about whether to turn left or right. In the next second, his movement pauses. In the open-air balcony at the end of the long corridor stands a person. Under the dim light, the person is hidden in the twilight, leaving a tall and blurry back. Tao Feng is 184 centimeters tall. His height is already very superior among the crowd. But looking at it this way, the young man in front of him is actually much taller than him. What's more attractive is that temperament. Calm and steady. Clearly an aura that can only be accumulated by those who have been in a superior position for a long time. He can't help but look at it a few more times. As a result, these two glances make others notice something is wrong. The handsome man in a suit slightly turns his head. His side face is sharp. The spark at his fingertips flickers on and off. Looking elite and dangerous. Since meeting is fate, Tao Feng, who is caught red-handed, decides to** the embarrassment with a friendly greeting: "Hi." Then he nods towards the direction of the private room and says that he has no other thoughts: "Just passing by. I'll leave first." The man looks at his leaving figure. His expression suddenly changes. After a while, he withdraws his gaze. Gently taps the cigarette with his fingertip. His face is hidden behind the curling smoke. Tao Feng arrives relatively late. As soon as he pushes the door and enters, the two large tables in the private room are full of people. Director Chen Bai is standing in the middle of the dining room. He is carefully telling the hotel manager beside him about the serving order and precautions later. It seems that he attaches great importance to today's dinner. But this is not because he wants to curry favor. It's because this investor really saves Director Chen from a difficult situation. Chen Bai started by making niche movies. In the early years, he won several important awards. This is his first attempt in the TV circle. Naturally, he is extremely expectant. He even gambles most of his fortune— The leading cast and related supporting roles are all of considerable status. But unexpectedly, when there is less than half a month left before the start of shooting, several investors suddenly and unreasonably withdraw their funds continuously and stand Director Chen up at the same time. This is really a surprise. In those days, people were in a panic. Everyone felt that this TV drama would be aborted at any time due to funding problems. But in the end, it was a narrow escape. Three days later, they unexpectedly waited for a new investor. This investor is extremely generous. Not only does he fill the previous gap in one go, but he also exceeds nearly 30 million yuan than expected. Therefore, today's opening banquet is mainly to thank this big sponsor in addition to wishing the TV drama a great success. Tao Feng sits down at an empty seat by the window in the secondary guest seat. Basically, those sitting at this table are also small roles like cannon fodder and passers-by. Some of them are even newcomers who signed in at the same time as Tao Feng. While rolling up his shirt sleeves, he listens to their chatting. "It's so hard for me. I inquired all afternoon and didn't find out even a bit of gossip. It's a major setback in life." "Your setback is too casual. Is it sold by the catty?" "Brothers and sisters, a big shot who invested 90 million at one go! I heard that the first installment was raised in half an hour. With such a generous move, I can't think of anyone else except a coal boss." Someone teases: "Then it's over. We'll all be drunk today." "It's okay. My Brother Feng is extremely good at drinking." The baby-faced Guan Han on the right puts his arm around Tao Feng's shoulder: "In his senior year of high school, he got angry for a beauty and directly drank his opponent into the hospital. He himself was fine." There is a burst of gossipy sounds on the table. Tao Feng is both amused and helpless: "You believe such nonsense?" His hair is combed back. A strand or two is casually scattered at his temples. His slightly raised peach blossom eyes look at people, and charming. Guan Han is sharp andsimply: "At that time, the picture building in your post bar was crazy! You can still find evidence if you look it up now." Tao Feng pauses for a second: "It's really exaggerated. Moreover..." He pauses and adds: "It's not a beauty." This sentence is uttered lightly and is quickly drowned in the commotion at the door. Someone runs to notify that the investor has arrived. Everyone exchanges a glance involuntarily and stands up in unison with a rustling sound. For a moment, it's like a slowed-down literary film. The dim yellow picture is frame by frame and is stretched very long. Behind the gray-clothed waiter follows a young man. Navy blue double-breasted striped suit. White handkerchief in the chest pocket. Tall and straight posture. High nose bridge. Smooth jawline. A pair of eyes are especially black, deep and unfathomable. Logically speaking, such facial features are very charming. But the man's expression is extremely cold. Instead, there is a sense of aloofness that is out of this world. Like a sharp sword in its sheath. It looks very familiar no matter how you look at it. "That man in a suit just now?" Tao Feng takes a quick glance but can't ignore the faint strange feeling in his heart. There is a suppressed exclamation around. Even Chen Bai, who has seen all kinds of outstanding looks in the circle, can't help but be stunned for a few seconds before remembering to go up and shake hands: "Hello, hello, Mr. Wang. I am Chen Bai." There is a "click" in Tao Feng's mind. A row of "Damn it" flashes densely. He is completely stunned. He feels that his hands and feet are not listening to him. It's not until Guan Han beside him secretly pulls him that he realizes it's his turn to say hello. Director Chen is all smiles with wrinkles on his face. He pats Tao Feng's shoulder vigorously: "Mr. Wang, this is Tao Feng, a newcomer in the group. He performed very well during the audition and left a deep impression on me." "Xiao Tao, this is Mr. Wang, our biggest investor." The person in question, Xiao Tao, is still stunned. Very stunned. But no matter how confused he is like Lagrange, Taylor, and Gauss, he also knows what to do on what occasion. Soon, he comes to his senses and shows his signature toothy smile: "Hello, Mr. Wang." "Hello." Wang Lin nods at him. His voice is neither high nor low. Calm and indifferent. It gives Tao Feng an illusion that they are really meeting for the first time.
