I Heard That I Am Poor - Chapter 23
Chapter 23: I Know the what to do
However, when Xie You was pulling the progress bar back for the nth time, his hand suddenly stopped. He frowned slightly and watched a not-so-special scene several times.
Something isn’t right.
Xie You was feeling unsettled in his heart. He took his mobile phone and quickly dialed Qu Xiaoran’s number. Without waiting for the other person to speak, he said first, “What happened to Yu Nian?
Qu Xiaoran didn’t react for a while, and asked in a daze, “What’s wrong? My brother has gone abroad, and I haven’t been to the company for a few days.” Feeling Xie You’s tone was not right, he hurriedly said, “Xie Xiaoyou, don’t worry. I’ll ask someone right away! I’ll call you back soon!”
Xie You hung up the phone and held it in his hand. His eyes fell on Yu Nian on the screen, and he didn’t look away.
If he was not mistaken, there was a frame where Yu Nian’s face showed pain, but it was quickly covered by a smile.
Not long after, Qu Xiaoran called back.
“Hey, how did you know? Yu Nian did have an accident.”
Xie You took a breath and asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”
“I called Meng Yuan directly to ask. He said that on the day of the show recording, at the time of rehearsal, a black-hearted person sprinkled water on the stage where Yu Nian stepped on. Yu Nian couldn’t stabilize and fell down. Originally, Yu Nian was supposed to hit on his knees, but he was smart enough to avoid his knees and only twisted his foot.”
Xie You spoke more slowly, “During the rehearsal…?”
“Yeah, it was at the time of rehearsal! Later, Meng Yuan personally sent him to the hospital, it was no big deal. But your Nian Nian bore it all, and during the time of recording, danced with his injured foot.” Qu Xiaoran said with a sigh of relief, “He had danced for more than a few minutes, and endured it all. I’m feeling pain just thinking about it!
It must have hurt.
Xie You watched the scene again without blinking.
The pain must have been so unbearable that his expression showed such a flaw for a second, right?
“…Hey Xie Xiaoyou, are you listening?”
“Yes.” Xie You’s voice was a little hoarse, “They got the person?”
“Almost there, the program team said that they will explain it.”
After hanging up the phone, Xie You didn’t move for a few seconds. After a while, he opened the text message interface, and his fingers hung on the buttons on the screen for a long time, but he still didn’t press them.
He can’t do it for now.
Self-mockery appeared in his eyes, which was then replaced by a deeper coldness. Xie You held the phone and clicked on the show to continue watching.
In the scene, Yu Nian’s expression couldn’t be seen at all. He was sitting on the sofa in the lounge waiting for the results of the vote. He smiled relaxedly and occasionally said a few words to Xia Mingxi next to him.
In the distant shot that passed by, one could see that Yu Nian had changed out of black leather shoes and put on light-colored slippers. Many viewers also noticed it, and it became the focus of the barrage discussion for a while.
[Why did Yu Nian put on slippers? Although he is in the lounge, he can’t be so casual, right?]
[Maybe the leather shoes hurt his feet, so squeamish!]
[Haha, he’s putting on airs when he just debuted?]
[There should be a reason, right?]
At the same time, Meng Yuan was on the phone with Yu Nian.
“I sent out the press release and threw a lot of money to turn the situation around! Damn, there are even some messed up black fans who say you are squeamish and putting on airs, it’s really a headache! It doesn’t matter if they quarrel on the barrage, but they even turn to your Weibo to continue arguing! Are they so idle?”
Yu Nian persuaded Meng Yuan, “The most they can do is argue on the Internet. They can’t come in front of me to scare me.”
Meng Yuan snorted twice, barely suppressing his anger, ” It’s also good for now. The more they say you’re squeamish and putting on airs, the more their face will hurt!” He held his breath and said, “Just now, Lao He called me.”
Yu Nian understood, “Got results?”
“Got a damn result!” Meng Yuan’s volume was raised two degrees again, “They checked it out, and finally said that a staff member in charge of chores didn’t pay attention. During the two minutes of the rehearsal break, he went to the stage to clean up, and the towel was not wrung out and kept dripping, so the water was left on the stage. Fuck, is this okay?”
Yu Nian lowered his eyes, his eyes fixed on a certain point in the air, “But there were many people at the scene, everyone was busy, and there was no monitoring, so it’s impossible to determine whether it was unintentional or intentional, right?”
“Yes.” Meng Yuan’s voice was astringent, “I can’t go to Lao He to insist on an explanation, and he also can’t don’t anything.”
After listening to Yu Nian’s silence, Meng Yuan continued, “The program team will issue a statement explaining the specific situation, and medical expenses will be doubled in compensation. They will do their best to cooperate with our request.”
Yu Nian knew that this was the best result, and there was also Meng Yuan’s reputation and connections. After all, he was just a newcomer who had just made a little splash in this circle.
“Brother Meng, it wasn’t easy to get this result.” Yu Nian said in a calm tone, “I will pay more attention in the future.”
As soon as Meng Yuan heard him say this, he knew that Yu Nian understood. It might be that the boy was too sensible, but this kind of mentality made people feel more distressed. Meng Yuan sighed, “When this matter comes out, and the program team issues the statement, your image will be very positive. You should rest now and not be affected by these trivial things,” He smiled bitterly, “As I often say, don’t let yourself be affected.”
Yu Nian replied, “Don’t blame yourself, Brother Meng. After all, it’s easy to dodge the open guns, but it’s hard to guard against hidden arrows.”
Hearing this, Meng Yuan, who originally felt that he couldn’t take good care of Yu Nian, was feeling even more guilty now. He was also worried about the huge pressure on Yu Nian, “Anyway, we have won first place several times in a row, and it doesn’t matter if we take second or third place in the next game. The most important thing is to take care of your foot. There is still a long way to go.”
Yu Nian lowered his eyelashes, his expression relaxed. He curled his lips and smiled, “I can’t dance, but I still have a voice, and if they want me not to take the first place, the other party may have to find a way to poison me to make me mute.”
Meng Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and most of the depression in his heart disappeared, “Yes, we’ll take the first place. Others can’t even think about robbing it from us.”
Just after hanging up Meng Yuan’s phone, Yu Nian’s cell phone rang again. He saw the name appearing on the screen, and he was unconsciously nervous when he answered the phone, “Uncle Rong?”
Rong Yue smiled, “It’s so late, did I disturb your sleep? ”
Yu Nian said hurriedly, “No, no, I haven’t slept yet. It’s the afternoon on your side, right?” He asked anxiously again, “…Was it successful?”
Rong Yue knew that he had been worried for several days, but he didn’t make him wait, “It went well. After three rounds of fighting with a European collector, he reluctantly withdrew his hand, and I managed to capture it. The formalities have been completed, and we will soon be able to bring You Niao Ming jade wine jar back to China.”
Bring it back.
Yu Nian closed his eyes, and it took a while before he spoke, “Uncle Rong, thank you.”
“Oh, listening to your voice, are you going to cry Xiao Nian Nian?” Rong Yue pretended to be surprised, “Let’s see, how long has it been since Uncle Rong saw you cry?”
Yu Nian sniffed and retorted with a smile, “I’m not crying, I’m really not crying.”
“If you really want to cry, uncle can pretend not to hear.” Rong Yue didn’t know what came to his mind, and said in a gentle tone, “Before the teacher and Shimu[1] left, their most worrying thing was you. Saying that you don’t care about anything on the surface, but in reality, you are too stubborn. And once you make up your mind on something, no matter how difficult it is, you’ll do it. They tell us to look after you again and again.”
Yu Nian leaned on the pillow and said “um” softly, “Grandma was always worried.”
He remembered that his grandfather once said they were bound together for a hundred years, and whoever died at the age of ninety-seven, would wait for the other for three years. By now, they should have been reunited.
On the phone, Rong Yue said with a smile, “I won’t talk about this, otherwise, after hanging up the phone, you may secretly hide in the bed and cry. I will leave for the country tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will personally deliver You Niao Ming jade wine jar to the mansion.”
This time, Meng Yuan’s actions were very fast, and not long after the show ended, he had already brought the heat. The “Sound of Nature” program team also quickly issued a statement, explaining the situation with Yu Nian in detail. He also posted on Weibo again, showing a picture of Yu Nian holding a crutch when he stepped down.
Less than half an hour after the statement was issued, the comment area exploded.
[I re-watched all the scenes of Nian Nian’s competition. At first, I was laughing happily, saying that the clothes were not torn, but now I can’t hold back my tears! It took more than six minutes! I can’t imagine how painful it would have been! How did he endure and insist on finishing the dance?]
[Heartache to the point of explosion! I showed it to my best friend and asked if you can tell if this person dancing and singing can’t stand even with a sprained foot. She watched it three times and didn’t see it. I just hope that the program team will pay attention to the details in the future. He is injured, we are really distressed!]
[Holy shit, where are those who were saying Yu Nian is squeamish and putting on airs? Someone putting on airs can sing and dance for the whole game as if their foot wasn’t hurt? Can a squeamish person sing the whole song so perfectly without shaking even a little bit? Can they dance without a single movement going wrong? You have the ability to point it out! Cry! Nian Nian is so dedicated!]
[I thought that those sweats were caused by dancing, but now I know that it was because it was painful QAQ. I went from being indifferent to being a big fan. He’s a very good singer!]
In the office, Xie You hung up the call from Qu Xiaoran, and his expression showed neither joy nor anger.
“If they can’t find out, I’ll find him. Pay attention, be quiet.”
Special assistant Qin, who had been waiting beside him, nodded, “I understand.”
After sitting quietly for a long time, Xie You stood up, took the car key, and walked out.
Special assistant Qin said, “You—”
“I know what to do.”
Xie You drove a car that he didn’t use very often, circled the city, and finally stopped on the side of the road outside Yu Nian’s Community.
It was already the end of September, and when the wind blew, the leaves were fluttering. Xie You turned off the engine, held his mobile phone, and looked at the location of Yu Nian’s window through the car window.
The light in the window was still on, so he probably hadn’t slept yet.
What is he doing now? Is it hurting so much that he can’t sleep? Is he in a bad mood?
Xie You sat like this until the middle of the night until he received the news.
“Found it.”
After carefully reading what was found, Xie You thought for a long time and forwarded it to Yu Nian. After thinking about it, he wrote again, “It’s up to you to make a decision.”
