"Why are you here so early?"
"I came to see you," Ni Yang said as he took off his mask and sat down beside Huo Mian's desk .
Huo Mian took a disposable cup and poured him some warm water .
"Slow down, what happened?"
"Sister Mian, please talk to President Qin . I've already recovered . Please don't keep me hanging around like a useless pretty boy . I want to do fight scenes, you know? A couple of days ago, Chen Ziqing, that renowned director talked to Sister Yingzi . He wanted me to act in a tough-guy movie, but Sister Yingzi and the company rejected his offer… Oh my god, I am so pissed . I love Director Chen! I want to act in his movie so badly! I don't care about box office sales, but I want the opportunity to transform my image! I'm not that young anymore, I can't keep acting in pretty-boy roles . I need to grow into a man . "
Ni Yang rambled on, and Huo Mian knew what he meant .
He wanted to shoot action scenes but his manager and the company wouldn't give him permission .
"They're just looking out for you . . . " Huo Mian laughed as she took a sip from her own cup .
"I know that they're looking out for me, but I'm already fine now . I keep attending dumb, useless events . I can't even hold concerts! I'm so bored . If this keeps going on, I'm going to go insane… Sis, please help me . I know President Qin will listen to you the most . Sway him with pillow talk . Please help a brother out . "
"Pillow talk… wow, you really went there . " Huo Mian was speechless .
The kid did look very lively, so Huo Mian was confident in his recovery . Plus, he didn't show any signs of rejection after his liver transplant .
It seemed like a liver donated by a member of the family was much more stable than that of an anonymous donor .
"I know what you're saying, but as a safety precaution, you have to do a full-body checkup here at the hospital . I also need the surgeon to guarantee your complete recovery . Otherwise, no way . "
"Sis… that's not necessary, it's too much of a hassle . " Hearing Huo Mian's requirements, Ni Yang felt like his head was about to explode .
"It's a must, otherwise… no deal . " Huo Mian insisted .
"Alright, alright, alright, I'll do it, but only if you keep your word . If I pass all the tests, you have to persuade President Qin into letting me take that movie," Ni Yang stated his terms .
"Deal . " Huo Mian smiled .
Then, Ni Yang turned to head out . . .
"Oh yeah, Ni Yang . . . "
"Yeah, Sister Mian?" Ni Yang turned back around .
"You… has Xie Juan visited you?"
"Her? She came to the neighborhood several times . She had a stupid thermos bottle on her; she said she wanted me to drink some chicken soup . I smashed it and told her off . She never came back after that . She's so fake, god knows why she was so nice to me . Maybe she wanted to trick more money out of me . "
"Maybe… she really cares about you?" Huo Mian asked carefully .
"She cares about me? Ha… don't kid around . Sister Mian, a woman who's never cared about me in the past 10 years, a woman who's not even worthy of being called a mother would never care about me . The only thing she cares about is that child, not me . "
Ni Yang laughed bitterly before turning around to leave . . .
Huo Mian knew that the misunderstandings between Ni Yang and Xie Juan were too deep . If she didn't tell him the truth, it looked like he would never forgive her .
However, Huo Mian had promised Xie Juan that she would keep her secret . Therefore, she suddenly felt very indecisive .
After a busy day, Huo Mian left work at 5:30 PM . When she passed a KFC, she bought a hamburger and cola .
After a quick bite, Huo Mian drove to the TV station .
The agreed meeting time was 7 PM . Huo Mian reached the TV station with 5 minutes to spare . She was always very punctual .
"Mrs . Qin, you're here . " Director Wang Xue walked over enthusiastically upon seeing her .
