老攻身患绝症[穿书]

Chapter 173

After ‘I See Xuanyuan’ was released, Xie Yang gradually resumed his artist activities. Due to the popularity of ‘I See Xuanyuan’, Qin Cheng had been walking on air recently and was ambitiously trying to push Xie Yang up.

Qin Cheng thought very well. “You have enough popularity and awards in the music category. You have shot for three of the five heavyweight magazines and are in talks for the other two. Two new endorsements have been finalized. Now only a movie award is missing to confirm your status. I suggest that you take another movie next.”

It took a few months to shoot a movie and he was afraid the clingy mouse would go crazy.

Xie Yang saw Qin Cheng’s eyes that were shining and full of fighting spirit and swallowed down his words of refusal. “Yes but the script has to be chosen carefully. I will only shoot the characters I want to shoot.”

“Of course. You started well and you have to be steady. I have a sense of measure.”

Xie Yang nodded and continued. “Then the script should be picked slowly. The most urgent task is to make the new album as soon as possible. I am still considered a newcomer in the music world. It isn’t good if the second album is too far apart from the first album. What do you think?”

Qin Cheng agreed. “This is reasonable. If you are a ruler sitting firmly on the throne or a short-lived star will depend on the quality of the second album. We have to do well with the new album!”

“Then try and help me reduce my commercial activities as much as possible. I want to concentrate on writing songs.”

“Okay, no problem.”

Xie Yang was satisfied and retreated while Qin Cheng still hadn’t reacted.

A few minutes later, Qin Cheng ran out of the office and stared at the closed elevator. He was both amused and angry. “This stinky boy, he didn’t take any new jobs after a long time and instead pushed a lot of them. I want to kill him!”

Finally, under Qin Cheng’s nagging, Xie Yang accepted a new job. It was to be a guest in a food variety show. Qin Cheng didn’t understand. “There are so many variety and reality shows and many of them are related to music. Why choose this one?”

“The filming location happens to be in the city where Qiu Xing is going on business.”

“…Don’t tell me you suddenly decided to take a new job because Mr Qiu is away from home on business.”

Xie Yang smiled and said nothing. Qin Cheng picked up the itinerary and left. He was afraid that he would kill his unmotivated artist if he stayed a second longer. Two days later, Xie Yang boarded the plane to Y City without telling Qiu Xing. After getting off the plane, he received a call from Qiu Xing.

“Why did you turn off your phone?”

Xie Yang calmly lied. “I turned off my phone to sleep in the afternoon. Are you busy at the branch office? When can you come home?”

Qiu Xing’s tone slowed. “It is almost over. I should be able to go back tomorrow night.”

Tomorrow night? Then they could go back to B City together. Xie Yang thought about it but didn’t say that he had arrived in Y City. Instead, he stated, “Then remember to bring me back some local products of Y City. I heard that their flower pastries are delicious.”

“Yes. Is there anything else you want to eat?”

Xie Yang replied in a low voice while covering his mouth.

There was a few seconds of silence.

“…Talk less nonsense. Be obedient at home.”

The call ended.
