8. A Lesson for Mr. Li

Translator: Sissy That Walk

People always say the wall has ears, well the wall in show business was covered with ears.

“I’m fine, thanks to Wei Chang Feng.” Qi Le An put down the drinks and replied.

Assistant He sighed and opened the door for Hu Bin.

“An! Are you hurt?” Hu Bin asked with concern.

Qi Le An was so touched that so many people cared about him, he replied promptly, “I’m fine, really.”

Hu Bin closed the door and said indignantly, “I know that Fatty Wang, he is scum! An, just watch out in the future, I don’t want you to get hurt!”

Qi Le An found the way Hu Bin stressed ‘get hurt’ was quite amusing.

Hu Bin put on a straight face and said that was no laughing matter, he babbled on about that Fatty Wang, “He is a useless person himself, but his brother is one of the main property developers in this film and television base, that’s why he plays the tyrant at will in the area and everyone fawns upon him.”

Qi Le An didn’t know the inside information until now.

“But Wei Chang Feng is such a great man!” Hu Bin now slumped down in Assistant He’s bed and muttered, “You don’t see a chivalrous guy like him every day.”

Qi Le An felt so warm on hearing Wei Chang Feng’s name.

“Get out of my bed!” Assistant He glared at Hu Bin, “Here is your outfit for tomorrow, now go back to your own room, take a shower, and go to bed! You are shooting on location tomorrow, and we are leaving at six thirty!”

The crew were going to work in Team A/on Location and Team B/in Studio for a few days to save time staring from the day after, Hu Bin, Lin Xue and Wei Chang Feng would be shooting with Team A, while the rest would shoot with Team B.

Hu Bin left them reluctantly.

Qi Le An had no shooting the next morning, but he couldn’t fall asleep after Assistant He left. He figured he might as well get up and study the scripts, Weibo(Chinese Twitter) wasn’t a thing back then, Qi Le An found he could concentrate better without distractions like social media.

Qi Le An had lunch around eleven, then he went to the setting. Having no assistant, Qi Le An was used to take care of himself.

The Deputy Director appreciated this young man a lot, he even greeted Qi Le An on his initiative. Qi Le An greeted him as well, then he went to the dressing room.

Hu Bin and Lin Xue were back on the weekend, Hu Bin told Qi Le An that Wei Chang Feng had left for his part was all finished.

Mr. Li came to visit Qi Le An this day, he brought a lot of snacks for the crew members, “Our An is very lucky to work with this crew, please bear with him if he does something wrong.”

Mr. Li looked so friendly, all the crew members started to like Mr. Li as well, they thought Qi Le An was Mr. Li’s student, Mr. Li must be really nice as well.

The Deputy Director allowed Qi Le An to spend some time with Mr. Li in the afternoon.

However, Mr. Li’s face darkened as soon as he walked out of the setting with Qi Le An.

“An, I heard you’ve offended Boss Wang?” Disapproval was written all over Mr. Li’s face.

“That was pure misunderstanding,” Qi Le An explained, he didn’t want say anything that might upset Mr. Li at the moment so he simply added, “it’s all settled now.”

Mr. Li looked a bit displeased, “Boss Wang has a lot of connections, don’t offend him any more. Let’s go apologize to him tonight.”

Then Mr. Li said, “I need some rest now, wake me up later.” Mr. Li was exhausted for he had taken the earliest flight that morning.

It now dawned on Qi Le An that he could use his system to change Mr. Li’s mind.

Qi Le An walked Mr. Li back to his hotel room, he said in an earnest tone, “Mr. Li, can you give me a hug?”

Mr. Li was kinda glad that this boy needed him so much, he hugged Qi Le An with a smile and said gently, “An, don’t you worry about a thing, I’m here for you. I have it all figured out about tonight, but you need to keep this in mind, you need to give something to get something.”

Qi Le An took a hair falling on Mr. Li’s shoulder and said, “Thank you so much, Mr. Li.”

With that Mr. Li nodded and opened his door.

Qi Le An went back to his room as well, he was glad that Assistant He wasn’t in the room, that saved him the trouble of explaining this to him. Qi Le An put Mr. Li’s hair under his pillow and lied down, but he had some trouble entering the system.

Qi Le An stated to panic as he noticed half an hour had passed, he stared to worry whether this plan was going to work out.

‘But no! I don’t want to be a part of Mr. Li’s disgusting plan! He is going to force me to grovel to or even offered myself to that Fatty Wang! I have to enter my system and fabricate a nightmare for Mr. Li!’

“Welcome to the Nightmare System.”

Qi Le An heard the familiar voice after a few days, he asked anxiously, “How many feelings can I fabricate now?”

“You can only fabricate a sole feeling.”

Qi Le An bit his lips, he wanted to warn Mr. Li by fabricating a nightmare, but he wasn’t sure about the details.

“The hair’s owner is sleeping lightly, he is going to wake up anytime, you can only reenter his dream after he falls asleep again, please fabricate the dream as soon as possible.”

This was the first time that Qi Le An had learned about this rule, he strode to the desk.

‘Hmm, what dream would stop Mr. Li from taking me to Fatty Wang?’ Qi Le An still wasn’t sure.

But he had to fabricate the dream after he heard the system’s red alert.

‘I’m running out of time, it’s all right if the dream is a bit bizarre, yeah? It’s just a dream!’

‘I can only create one feeling, how about fear! What’s Mr. Li’s biggest fear, loss of fame! He is reduced to a teacher from the most promising manager in show business, that what has happened to him in real life, he’s been working so hard to get back to show business. I might as well make him a person who has lost everything and is hated by everyone!’

Qi Le An wrote swiftly and managed to leave the system before Mr. Li woke up. He kept panting in bed after he left the system.

The alarm now went off soon, Qi Le An washed his face and walked to Mr. Li’s room as he was instructed.

Mr. Li opened the door for Qi Le An after the first knock, obviously Mr. Li was awake before Qi Le An came. There was fear in his face.

“Mr. Li, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, come on in.”

Qi Le An walked in and opened the curtain, he asked, “Mr. Li, when are we going to meet Boss Wang?”

“No,” Mr. Li answered, “We are not seeing him.”

“Ah?” Qi Le An pretended he was confused.

A mixture of emotions showed on Mr. Li’s face, “I’ve thought about it, we are not going to see him now that Wei Chang Feng has settled it for you.”

Qi Le An lowered his head and hid the joy, ‘I made it!’

Mr. Li unbuttoned his collar agitatedly, “Wei Chang Feng has settled it for you, all we need to do is be grateful to him instead of make an unnecessary move.”

It sounded like Mr. Li was saying that to comfort himself.

With that Mr. Li paced back and forth in the room and told Qi Le An with great determination, “An, you are still young, don’t do anything you might feel regret for fame.”

Qi Le An was surprised a dream would work like a charm.

Mr. Li felt like what he just said was a slap on his own face considering what he had said to Qi Le An before lunch.

‘But this must be a warning from God, the dream! For I barely dream.’

With that in mind, Mr. Li continued, “An, I will make you famous!”

There was even a touch of craziness in Mr. Li’s eyes at this point, Qi Le An was stunned.

Qi Le An now was curious to find out what Mr. Li had done to offend the leadership in Glory.
