The man with the note "David" is obviously Ethan Lu's agent. He is now chattering to Ethan Lu on the phone and giving her instructions.
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone. Ethan Lu lowered his head and said nothing, with a strong look of annoyance between his brows.
Who wouldn't be upset when they have to take on debts for their "parents" right from the start?
The agent talked for another three minutes, and perhaps because he was tired, he took a breath and rested. Finally, he asked: "Think about it yourself. Is now the time to be willful? Come, I will check for you now to see how much you still owe for the advance you took..."
"Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand! Did you hear that?" After a burst of noise, the man shouted exaggeratedly, "You have to pay off the money first before you are qualified to talk to me about quitting. I used my life as a guarantee to persuade the company to give you special treatment. Is this how you repay me?"
Ethan Lu thought he was being noisy, frowned, and held the phone a little further away.
The agent didn't get a response for a long time, and thought he had successfully persuaded the child who suddenly went crazy, so he softened his tone and asked: "How is it? Let me ask you, have you thought it through?"
Ethan Lu thought it over and said calmly, "If I can pay back the 500,000 yuan, I can stop working."
... The person on the other side choked obviously.
From the perspective of the agent, Ethan Lu was cultivated by him, and he is the most popular person among his current managers. How can he let him go? Isn't this just cutting off his own cash cow? The age of 10** is the best time of his life, and there will be huge commercial value to be discovered in the next five years. The advance payment of 500,000 is just an excuse to suppress Ethan Lu. He will never let Ethan Lu quit now.
"Yes...right." The agent agreed at first, stuttering a little because of guilt, and then immediately added, "Don't forget that your contract will expire in a while. If you let go now, you will have to pay a penalty of three million."
Ethan Lu said bluntly: "Then call the police to arrest me."
...The agent didn't expect it.
Ethan Lu hung up the phone directly. #br...
r#He meant it when he said that.
Two seconds later, the phone rang and Ethan Lu answered it.
The agent said angrily: "You little brat, you are so stubborn..."
With a "beep" sound, Ethan Lu hung up the phone.
The phone rang again.
Connected.
The agent roared: "Ethan Lu you..."
With a "beep", it was cut off again.
When the phone rang again this time, there was a few seconds gap between the last time.
Lucy held it close to her ear.
The agent cried: "Please don't die first, can we discuss everything?"
Ethan Lu didn't say anything, but didn't hang up the phone either.
"Why did you suddenly become so tough..." The agent seemed to be talking to himself, and finally softened his tone and said helplessly, "If you suddenly want to change... that's fine, you have good conditions, it's not a big problem for us to turn our target to female fans, but at least give our public relations some time to react. How about this, don't rush to reveal your gender, it will cause a lot of trouble for me to deal with it, can you bear it for another week? Just one week, don't do anything this week, just post a video, I beg you."
Ethan Lu was a very tough boy, but he was soft-hearted and did not take any hardship. Seeing that the other party was so humble, he did not make it difficult and confirmed again: "Pretend for another week?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" the agent said hurriedly, "Just one week, I'll handle it."
Ethan Lu said "Oh" and said lightly: "Then hurry up."
Agent: ... Listen to the tone, who is the boss of whom?
He suspected that Ethan Lu must have been stimulated by something, otherwise why would he become a different person. He used to be obedient and sweet-mouthed, very pleasing to the eye, but now he is so straight and tough that people hate him.
***
Lucy hung up the phone.
He considered that it would be best to continue to take over the original owner's account and use the resources of 900,000 fans...
At least I can support myself, but if it comes at the cost of pretending to be a transvestite, I am unwilling to do that.
Ethan Lu looked at the time and found that Jason Ji had been gone for a long time.
He was just about to look up to see if the person was still in the bakery when he suddenly felt a chill on his cheek, which gave him a startle.
When he turned around, he saw Jason Ji standing behind him, holding a glass of orange juice and placing it next to his face, with a triumphant smirk on his face.
Childish or not?
Ethan Lu glanced at him sideways. Although he was unhappy, his icy face showed no emotion for a long time.
"Here." Jason Ji extended the hand holding the paper bag forward, raised his chin towards the bag, and said, "The cup of milk tea inside is for you."
Ethan Lu was thirsty, so he unceremoniously opened the paper bag and took out a cup of warm milk tea.
He glanced casually and saw three other drinks in the bag, each of a different kind.
Jason Ji suddenly said, "Just now I accidentally heard you say you want to pretend for another week. What are you pretending for?"
Hearing this, Ethan Lu's straw almost went astray, but fortunately he made up for it in time and the milk tea didn't spill out. He said calmly, "Pretend to be your uncle."
... Jason Ji thought to himself that he could actually be humorous.
He glanced at Ethan Lu's flat chest and said meaningfully, "You are really acting like a big shot now." Then he changed his mind and asked, "So this is why you started going to the men's restroom?"
Since Ethan Lu promised his agent to continue pretending, he naturally kept his word and just said perfunctorily: "I looked in the wrong direction at that time."
He took a big sip of milk tea, his cheeks puffed up, and without saying hello, he turned around and left.
Jason Ji stared at his back, thoughtfully.
***
Before Ethan Lu walked out of the cafeteria door, a group of people came towards him.
That group of people walked sideways, blocking the road.
Ethan Lu took a look and saw that there were nine people, one walking at the head, and the others following behind him in a cone shape, the formation was like a billiard ball...
Colorful balls arranged on the table.
The leader held his head high and sang a tuneless song. His suit-style school uniform jacket was not worn properly, with the back deliberately pulled down, leaving only his arms in the sleeves, and his steps were very arrogant.
Ethan Lu stepped aside to make way.
The man's name was Ryan Qu, and people in Canglan Private High School nicknamed him "Qu Bawang". You could tell what kind of person he was just by listening to his nickname.
At first he didn't notice Ethan Lu standing beside him, but after taking a casual glance at her, he looked again and again, and finally he stopped with a soft "Yoho".
"Who is this girl?" Ryan Qu asked with great interest.
A little brother stood out from the crowd behind him, with a very good eye: "The internet celebrity in Class 8, Ethan Lu."
"Internet celebrity..." Ryan Qu thought for a moment, dragged out a long tone, and said "Oh" in sudden realization, "I was wondering why she looked so familiar, it turns out she is Grace Lin's best friend, hiss... that's not right." He turned around and touched his chin with one hand, and looked at Ethan Lu from beginning to end without any hesitation, wondering, "Why doesn't she look like her? I remember the one in Class 8 who looked very coquettish, a typical Internet celebrity face."
Ethan Lu stopped chewing the coconut, but only for a moment. He stared outside the glass wall, continued drinking his milk tea, and waited for the people blocking his way to go away.
"Brother Qu, she didn't wear any makeup today." a younger brother reminded.
"Fcuk." Ryan Qu smiled and stared at Ethan Lu, seeming to be more interested. "There are actually girls like this? She looks better without makeup than with makeup."
Suddenly remembering something, he said, "Huh? Didn't I date her before the long vacation?"
Another younger brother stepped forward and reported everything: "Yes, but she didn't agree. I heard from Sister Zhi that she made another appointment with Jason Ji."
"Fcuk, the chronology..." Ryan Qu didn't know how he felt offended and his face darkened in an instant.
He shook his shoulders, threw on his coat, rubbed his hands and said, "Wait, I'll get you a daily sister-in-law."
...
Ethan Lu was not too far away from them. If the other person spoke softly, he might not be able to hear it, but that person had no scruples and spoke even louder than normal, making it hard not to hear it.
Ethan Lu looked cold and bored, and drank the cup of milk tea cleanly.
Ryan Qu approached and just said "Hello" when someone suddenly interrupted with a smile: "Excuse me, excuse me."
Ryan Qu looked to the side and saw that the person coming was actually Jason Ji.
Ryan Qu's expression suddenly turned cold, with a hint of inexplicable vigilance.
Seeing that Ryan Qu was still blocking the door, Jason Ji raised his eyebrows, and then his beautiful eyes and eyebrows showed a smile, and the ending tone rose slightly: "Classmate?"
Ryan Qu's face was frozen, and there was more and more resentment in his eyes, but he just couldn't utter a word, and finally took a step back.
So the younger brothers behind him all retreated in unison.
Jason Ji walked towards the door, and Ethan Lu saw that the people blocking the way finally made way, so he followed him towards the door.
"Hey? Don't go." Ryan Qu grabbed Ethan Lu's arm from behind without thinking.
Being rudely intercepted by a stranger, Ethan Lu frowned and pulled his hand back.
As a result, Ryan Qu failed to dodge in time and was hit hard in the face by that hand.
The "pop" sound was very loud.
Hearing the noise, Jason Ji turned around and saw that Ethan Lu's face finally showed some emotion, and it was obvious disgust.
Jason Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, attracted by the expression on that world-weary face. Ethan Lu's appearance was obviously a kind of neutral beauty, but once he showed a fierce look, he actually looked very manly and inexplicably handsome.
Why didn’t I notice it before?
Ryan Qu covered his nose and was obviously startled. Then he realized that he was very embarrassed in front of his brothers and cursed uncontrollably: "Fcuk you! What are you doing, little B!tch!"
Ethan Lu remained unmoved and never looked back, so the people behind him could not see him...
expression.
After Ryan Qu finished scolding the man, he saw that the man didn't refute him. He rubbed his nose and finally regained some control. He hummed for a while and squeezed out a contemptuous smile: "You are still a tiger's B*tt that can't be touched. Don't think you can be arrogant just because you have a few fans. You are just a small internet celebrity. Those who are more famous than you have to call me master when they see me. You can take off your clothes by throwing a piece of money, and you can get a full range of services by throwing a card. Why are you pretending in front of me? Do you think I don't know who you are? Do you think being noble is worth more money?"
The younger brothers behind him burst into laughter, and Ryan Qu felt even more powerful.
At this time, Jason Ji turned his eyes away from Ethan Lu's face and said to Ryan Qu: "Stop talking."
"Jason Ji, don't get involved in this. If you want to leave, leave now." Ryan Qu might have gotten carried away. The fear he showed towards Jason Ji earlier had long since disappeared without a trace. He said nonchalantly, "This is a matter between me and this girl. If you dare to interfere, you're going against me."
Then, Ryan Qu looked at Ethan Lu's back and continued to shout: "Come on, turn around. I still have some money in my meal card. I wonder if I can buy you a smile."
Ryan Qu lowered his head and rummaged around in his pocket, pulling out a meal card and shaking it. The younger brothers laughed again in response.
Jason Ji spoke again: "Stop talking."
"Fcuk! Are you annoying? Why don't you tell me?" Ryan Qu glared at him.
Jason Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at Ethan Lu again, saying, "This girl is going to hit someone."
"Huh?" Ryan Qu didn't understand immediately.
The next second, Ethan Lu turned around and threw a neat and beautiful punch, hitting Ryan Qu's eye socket.
Ryan Qu screamed in pain, unable to breathe. He covered one eye and bent over. He was defeated and supported by his younger brothers.
He half-opened one eye, gasping in pain, and looked at Ethan Lu in front of him in disbelief.
Ethan Lu still had one hand clenched into a fist, which was hanging down at his side in a relaxed manner. He raised his face slightly and looked at people with half-drooped eyelids. However...
The look in his eyes was like looking at an ant. He was world-weary and lazy, and no one caught his eye.
Ryan Qu is a typical second-generation rich kid. Relying on his family's power and influence, he has only bullied others and has never allowed himself to be bullied. Now that he has been beaten, it hurts so much that he almost cries out of grievance.
He pointed at Ethan Lu and said, "Wait, my brothers never hit women, but today we will make an exception for you!"
...
While Ryan Qu's brothers were still dumbfounded, Ethan Lu said calmly: "Come."
He threw the empty milk tea cup into the trash can not far away with great accuracy.
"Come on!" Ryan Qu couldn't stand the provocation.
The younger brothers looked at each other, then stepped forward and pressed towards Ethan Lu step by step.
"Wait a minute." One person stood next to Ethan Lu and said with a smile, "I don't really want to intervene, but hitting a girl is too much. How about this, I take her place?"
The younger brothers saw Jason Ji preparing to intervene, and they all took a step back at the same time---
This guy is from the provincial Taekwondo team.
Ethan Lu glanced to the side and said without emotion: "Go away."
The ruthlessly driven Jason Ji: "... I'll give you another chance, you still have a chance to stay..."
"Go away." Lucy said.
... Jason Ji looked at Ethan Lu for a few seconds, then looked at Ryan Qu and his group as if nothing had happened, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Jason Ji, I warn you not to show off." Ryan Qu covered one eye and stood behind the crowd, gasping, "hiss ha ha," "I'll beat you up too if I get crazy later."
Jason Ji narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "If I go crazy later, can I beat you too?"
Ryan Qu's face twisted for a moment, as if he recalled something that made him upset.
He searched the crowd, pointed at a man, waved his hand forward to signal him to step out, and then proudly said to Jason Ji: "This is my new acquaintance. His family has been studying drunkenness for generations.
He is the 30th generation descendant of the martial arts school. If you can beat him, I will make you a hero."
The crowd automatically made way for a path, and a boy who was not too tall and looked thin walked forward.
The boy stood more than one meter away, with a very calm demeanor.
He first clasped his fists towards Jason Ji in a very formal manner, then suddenly opened his hands and took a stance, slapped his thighs vigorously, and let out a loud "Ha!". He jumped twice on the spot, then swayed his body left and right like a spinning top, pushing and pulling his arms back and forth. He seemed to be ethereal, but in fact he had a tenacious strength to suppress it.
It's obvious that he's a trainer.
The man performed a half set of drunken boxing, which drew cheers from the whole room. He stood there in the same posture, looking at Jason Ji provocatively.
Ethan Lu could see that this man had some strength. He didn't want to involve Jason Ji, so he said, "Let's go..."
Before he finished his words, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the person next to him raised one of his long legs and kicked it out seemingly very easily. As a result, the boy who was doing the drunken boxing flew three meters away on the spot, slid for a distance on the smooth floor, and hit the pillar behind him with a dull "bang".
He tilted his head and didn't move.
The cheers in the room stopped instantly.
... Ethan Lu looked at Jason Ji beside him.
Jason Ji was holding a paper bag in one hand and a cup in the other, sipping orange juice. From beginning to end, the orange juice in the cup did not shake at all.
Jason Ji quietly put down his long legs, took another sip of orange juice, and smiled shyly at the petrified Ryan Qu: "What generation did you say he was? Sorry, I was distracted and didn't hear clearly."
Ethan Lu: ...
What is a flash sale?
I understand.
