Chapter 06



When Luo Ding walked out of the auditorium, he saw Wu Fangyuan pacing anxiously around the same place. When he saw that it was him, he immediately greeted him with concern: "Are you tired? Hungry? I'll take you to dinner! "



He didn't ask about the result of the audition at all. This time, when he brought Luo Ding to the audition, his heart was ready to just let Luo Ding come out to see the world. After Luo Ding was asked to enter the auditorium alone, Wu Fangyuan regretted it. He had always knew that Luo Ding, who had social phobia, was hopeless at communication when he was alone that it became a mental disorder for him. Now, looking into Luo Ding's eyes, he inevitably felt quite guilty about it.



Luo Ding patted him on the shoulder before he could speak. The glass door opened and Hu Xiao came out with a black face.



When he saw Luo Ding, he frowned and looked disgusted. When Luo Ding came out, it seemed that Yang Kangding, who couldn't be seen before, appeared suddenly like being equipped with a radar. He quickly approached and howled, "Did you get chosen?"



Hu Xiao's face became even worse.



Yang Kangding looked lost: "Oh. Don't lose heart. If can't get it this time, you still have another chance. Did you talk to Director Zheng and Director Deng? "



Hu Xiao, without saying a word, bypassed him and left. Yang Kangding was sure that he was angry and didn't dare to ask more questions. He tried to catch up with Hu Xiao but Wu Fangyuan tried to keep him. "Yang ge, we are all free this time. I've ordered lunch, you and Hu Xiao together..."



"Together what? You only know how to eat! " Yang Kangding was unhappy. When Wu Fangyuan hit his sore spot, he immediately started to curse like fried popcorn kennels. "Don't you have eyes to see that I'm in a bad mood now...."




Luo Ding frowned and stretched out his arms to pull Wu Fangyuan, who was scolded, towards his back, while he raised his chin toward the direction Hu Xiao went: "You have to hurry up, what are you doing still chirping here?"



"You--!" he was only halfway venting and was interrupted. Yang Kangding became angrier, he stared at Luo Ding and wanted to start scolding him.



"What about me?" Luo Ding's face looked down at him with deadpanned expression. His eyes were as cold as if they had just been lifted from the ice cellar. Yang Kangding was instantly dumbstruck.



He took two steps back in disbelief. His anger withered. He couldn't help wondering where Luo Ding's amazing aura came from. But because he didn't care much about Luo Ding, he didn't have any pictures of getting along with Luo Ding in his memory. He couldn't even recognise the difference between the past and present Luo Ding even if he cut his head open.



So people were this cheap. Luo Ding used to be polite to him, and never dared to retaliate no matter how bad he was to Luo Ding. Now Luo Ding was unwilling to pretend to talk to him nicely, yet he dared not even start an ordinary quibble.



Yang Kangding was silenced for a long time until he turned around and left. Luo Ding just took back his hand that was in front of Wu Fangyuan.



Luo Ding just swept a glance at him and made someone's life difficult? Was he serious? Wu Fangyuan questioned himself. Or was Luo Ding so bullied before? No matter how powerful Yang Kangding was, he also relied on the artists in the company to eat. Luo Ding was one of the few pillars in the studio that could be sold. Even if he didn't change his soul, Yang Kangding and him were not at the same level. If the matter was put on the table and weighted, it's Yang Kangding who should be worried about the future. Obviously, Yang Kangding also understood this truth, otherwise, he would never choose to leave in a gloomy way just now.



Luo Ding lowered his eyes, his gaze heavy. Wu Fangyuan was the most important friend in the life of the original body. Luo Ding took over the life of the original body, meant that he would shoulder all his troubles and worries for him too. Besides himself, no one else could bully him. It's just that Wu Fangyuan had probably followed Luo Ding for a long time, but his understanding of the circle was yet a little shallow. He just touched the surface of the pool in the entertainment circle.



Wu Fangyuan was also moved by Luo Ding's first obvious act of protecting himself. Although he complained, it was just because he was worried on behalf of Luo Ding. He thought of the warm feeling for a while, before he snapped back: "Hungry? Shall we have dinner? "



"Wait." Luo Ding looked at his watch again. "Let's wait for someone."



Who was he waiting for? Wu Fangyuan was stunned. He turned his head and looks at the direction of the door. Hu Xiao and Yang Kangding were gone. Did Luo Ding know other people besides himself in this place?



He was thinking of this when the glass door of the audition hall was pulled open again, and a low and sweet male voice sounded: "I've made you wait for a long time. Director Deng pulled me to discuss next week's make-up shooting, did he mention it to you..."



"Yes." Luo Ding replied briefly, not cold nor warm. "My assistant has ordered food in a restaurant. Since you want to have dinner, we'd better go to the place he'd already booked."



Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, and the brother raised his hands and put them on Luo Ding's shoulders. In the performing arts circle, when ordinary little artists see his face, they would be itching to approach him and put on a flattering smile in order to be close to him. This kind of enthusiasm was interesting when seen once or twice, more than that, it's just unbearable. Luo Ding's way of keeping a distance while getting along with others made him feel more comfortable than he could imagine.



"OK!" Wu Yuan promised straightforwardly and asked, "Which restaurant is it? I've been feeling hot recently. If it's a Sichuan restaurant, you'd better change it. "



Luo Ding threw Wu Fangyuan an inquisitive gaze, but saw Wu Fangyuan was staring at Wu Yuan with a blank face.



Luo Ding frowned and pushed his head down: "What a fool!"



Wu Fangyuan covered his forehead and turned to look at Luo Ding stupidly. After a while, he stared at Wu Yuan again. Suddenly, he jumped up like being beaten with a rod: "Wu Yuan!"



Wu Yuan blinked: "......Ah?" How did this fat blonde got surprised?



"You, you, you, you..." Wu Fangyuan looked at Luo Ding in amazement. "How did you get to know Wu Yuan?"



Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows and hit Luo Ding's shoulder: "You didn't tell him?"



"Not yet."



"What..... what didn't you tell me? " Wu Fangyuan couldn't understand the two men's riddles.



"Audition!" Wu Yuan frustratedly pointed toward the auditorium, "It's 《Tang Zhuan》. Luo Ding is chosen to act as Fu Zhu. He and I are rivals. We met just now and fell in love on the first sight, didn't we?"



Luo Ding glanced at him. As a former senior figure in the entertainment circle, he knew too much about what Wu Yuan and other people were thinking. It was simply his way of joking to get along with others.



Wu Fangyuan stood there stupidly, bewildered by the explosive news.



*************



Su Shengbai pressed the brim of his hat, looked around, sneaked into the hospital, and walked hastily all the way.



Carrying a basket and a bunch of flowers, he got on the elevator and looked at the red numbers anxiously. When the elevator reached the 30th floor, he hesitated.



He approached the ward very slowly. The shutters of the visiting glass window were pulled tightly. He could not see anything and had to knock on the door.



"Who?" asked an old woman in a low voice.



"It's me." Su Shengbai replied in a low voice. A moment later, the door was opened. Inside the door was an old lady with a wrinkled face, appearing to be in her fifties.



The old lady glanced up and down at Su Shengbai, and then looked over his shoulder outside. She said, "Mr. Su, my boss won't let you in."



Su Shengbai smiled bitterly: "Is he awake?"



"Awake, looking through the album again."



Su Shengbai's eyes were darkened for a moment, but the frailty was quickly covered by helplessness. He handed the bouquet to the old woman. Su Shengbai said softly, "Since it's like this, can you go inside and tell him that there are some problems with the preparation of the film, and I need his help to solve them."



The old guard nodded her head and sighed with relief when she saw that the other party had no intention to break in.



The door slowly closed in front of him. Su Shengbai put his forehead on the doorplate. He could not express the emptiness in his heart.



The man lying in the ward was Xu Zhen. Cao Dingkun had beaten him too hard. Xu Zhen's bones were broken in several places, even his internal organs had some problems. After he was sent to the hospital, he was rushed overnight for emergency treatment to stabilize his condition. He was embarrassed about the place where he was injured. Besides two ribs and thighs and arms, there was also that place.



Without concealing the truth, the doctor told them frankly that if Xu Zhen's morning wood could not appear in the morning before leaving the hospital, it would be a convenient device in the future.



It's about men's vanity. Xu Zhen had to put down the film he's making to settle down this issue. Su Shengbai thought that Xu Zhen must have hated Cao Dingkun for such serious consequences, but he didn't expect that Cao Dingkun's death would make him react so violently. If not for the incalculable negative impact on the film 《Assassin》and Xu Zhen, as one of the directors and parties involved, Su Shengbai had no doubt that the other side would send him to the police station first and foremost. Ever since entering the hospital until now, Xu Zhen hadn't seen Su Shengbai even once and had not received so much as a call from him. Even if the nurse told him that the gift she brought into the ward was from Su Shengbai, he would roar furiously and ask the nurse to throw the things out of the window.



Su Shengbai was full of hatred and unwillingness.



Didn't he kill Cao Dingkun in order to help Xu Zhen's movie could start shooting smoothly? Yet now the beneficiary had made a gesture of hating him! If you really loved Cao Dingkun, why did you take off your pants and went to bed with him? In the end, didn't he not report him only for the sake of the movie and his reputation? Now he looked at pig-like Zhu Bajie in the mirror, but Xu Zhen had no qualm to blame him.


(TN: Zhu Bajie is the pig in Journey to the West)


Su Shengbai sneered. He knew that Xu Zhen would eventually meet him today. Nothing was more important to this man than his career.



Sure enough, before long, the old guard opened the door again.



Her turbid eyes fell on Su Shengbai: "Mr. Su, please be careful. My boss is in a bad mood. Just now he asked me to put your flowers in the toilet."



Su Shengbai could only smile bitterly when he heard the words.
