Kidnapping a Daddy as a Gift for Mommy

76. The big shot.

Translator: Flying Lines

The onlookers were people who had seen the world, who were experienced and sensible. As the headmaster apologized to Xia Xingcheng, risking himself to offend the Xu family, they began to suspect secretly that there must be a big shot behind Xia Xingcheng.

Otherwise, even if the truth was not on the side of the Xu family, the headmaster would not take such a big risk.

Until now, seeing that Xia Xingcheng got in a luxury car, and the child called someone father, the speculation in their hearts became more and more clear.

It seemed that the big shot behind Xia Xingcheng, who could look down on the Xu family, must not be simple.

They started to look at each other in surprise, thinking that they should befriend Xia Xingcheng.

Xia Xingcheng was no fool, of course, she could see the headmaster’s attitude toward her and the way he was carefully behaving. Someone must have pulled some strings secretly. She knew she did not have that kind of influence, so it must be Sheng Yeting.

Thought of this, Xia Xingcheng said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you for today."

If it weren’t for Sheng Yeting, maybe she would have been humiliated by the Xu siblings again!

Sheng Yeting was slouching back in the car seat. He snorted noncommittally and showed no expression.

“Where are you going?" He asked.

Xia Xingcheng thought about it and decided to go to work first. After all, to disturb Yaoxi this early would interrupt her rest. So she said: “Take me to work, please. Thank you.”

Sheng Yeting opened his eyes, within was obvious disdain. “Xia Xingcheng, why would you be so polite to me? What do you take me for? A nanny? A driver?" Sheng Yeting said with a chuckle.

Xia Xingcheng hurriedly explained: "Sheng Yeting, what are you talking about? You misunderstood me!"

She did not know why Sheng Yeting suddenly had such an idea. Was it true that the greats think in weird ways?

"Huh." With a cold snort, Sheng Yeting closed his eyes and resumed his fake nap, as if he was about to ignore Xia Xingcheng completely.

Xia Xingcheng was confused by his action. She felt more and more strongly that this man was really moody.

It was until she arrived work, Xia Xingcheng suddenly realized, maybe Sheng Yeting did not like her saying thank you?

Then why wouldn't he just say so? What an awkward person!

Xia Xingcheng could not help but feel funny. But after all, it happened already, she did not want to think about it anymore. She was planning to go straight to her office.

However, unexpectedly, Gu Xingxi was training in the training room as she passed by.

Xia Xingcheng was surprised for a moment. Now his role in "Love Through Time 2" was confirmed. But his sister was just out of surgery and certainly needed to be taking care of, why would he come to work so early?

She walked into the training room. Gu Xingxi also saw her and said hello with a smile.

It was still early at this time, there was only Gu Xingxi in the training room. Xia Xingcheng asked him in surprise: “Why would you come so early? Yaoxi is still in recovery. Doesn't she need to be taken care of?"

Seeing the worries on Xia Xingcheng's face, Gu Xingxi was touched again. He explained: "I hired a private nurse to take care of my sister. Now that ‘Love Through Time 2’ is about to start shooting, I can't fall behind with my training, so I came here."

To Gu Xingxi, Xia Xingcheng was his savior. So no matter how painstaking the work was, he would not let her down.

Xia Xingcheng nodded with understanding. She was very moved that Gu Xingxi could work so hard. So she said: “You can continue your training. But Yaoxi was still recovering these days, you should spend more time with her, otherwise, she would be lonely.”

Gu Xingxi nodded, feeling more motivated.

Xia Xingcheng didn't say anything more and went straight back to her office. In fact, the work as an agent was difficult but also simple in a way.

Now, for example, she was routinely checking on Gu Xingxi's Twitter feed to see the comments and trends, as well as the postings of the big influencers.

A couple of days ago, Gu Xingxi’s popularity went high and gained a lot of loyal fans. Although it went down in these two days, still a lot of people were asking was Gu Xingxi gonna play the male supporting role in "Love Through Time 2".

Reading this, Xia Xingcheng suddenly had an idea, to strike while the iron was hot, publicity now would have the greatest impact surely.

With that in mind, Xia Xingcheng picked up the phone and called the director of "Love Through Time 2".

Seeing it was Xia Xingcheng, the director was very enthusiastic, he immediately asked when they could meet in person to discuss the details.

Xia Xingcheng agreed, then she segued to say: "Now that the actors have been confirmed, can you release the information that Gu Xingxi was gonna be in it in advance?”

The director had been working in the entertainment business for many years, of course, he knew her purpose, he accepted her proposal immediately.

"Okay, I agree. I will notify them now. I wish we will cooperate presently.”

Xia Xingcheng nodded with great pleasure.

After a while, a tweet was posted on the official Twitter account saying that "Love Through Time 2" had finished casting, and directly tagged Gu Xingxi’s Twitter saying: “You are forever Long Tianxing. Happy cooperation.”

After the tweet came out, the director immediately forwarded the tweet and wrote: “Gu Xingxi is a great actor, a wonderful star, neither arrogant nor impetuous. I like him very much. He has a bright future. I am rooting for you!”

Seeing this, Xia Xingcheng contemplated for a while and forwarded his tweet using Gu Xingxi's Twitter account, saying: "Thank you, to all the friends and fans for supporting me over the years. I won't let you down!”

In an instant, Twitter exploded again. After all, "Love Through Time" was a classic, and the news about Gu Xingxi returning was very exciting of course.

“Recently, I stayed up late and watched 'Love Through Time' again. Xingxi’s performance was amazing!"

“Not only the performance was amazing, but his face was also so perfect, I want to lick the screen!"

“I don't care, I'm turning into his fan, whatever."

"Looking forward to ‘Love Through Time 2’! I'm gonna stay up all night."

Seeing the comments from his fans on Twitter, Xia Xingcheng curved her lips into a smile. She was happy for Gu Xingxi sincerely.

Shortly, the number of his followers and the trending hashtags about him climaxed. Xia Xingcheng was happy with the results.

Presumably, Gu Xingxi would also be very happy to see it on Twitter.
