My dragon

Nan Huailin couldn't believe it: "Are you sure you want to eat this?"

Philadelphia nodded: "This is what I wanted to eat most when I was in the United States."

This is an open-air barbecue stall, the business is booming, and there are no empty seats.

There are rows of meat skewers on the barbecue grill, sizzling with oily smoke, and the rich aroma is particularly appetizing.

Nan Huailin smiled: "I thought..."

He thought that rich people like Philadelphia would not eat this kind of roadside stalls.

Philadelphia asked, "For what?"

"It's nothing." Nan Huailin was afraid that Philadelphia would laugh at him for his ignorance.

Philadelphia didn't ask again, looked at the menu to order, and asked Nan Huailin halfway through the order: "You are a patient, isn't it good to eat skewers?"

Nan Huailin said: "It's okay, I haven't eaten for a long time, you should be more open."

Philadelphia pointed to the menu and said to the waiter, "Then this page will be double."

Nan Huailin: "...are you a Taotie?"

"No, I belong to the mouse." Philadelphia replied solemnly, and asked again solemnly: "What do you belong to?"

Ever since he was a child, Nan Huailin hated people asking about his zodiac signs.

"...a pig." He replied reluctantly.

People who belong to pigs feel bitter.

After thinking about it, it seems that the rat is not much better than the pig, and I feel a little balanced again.

"Then you are one year older than me," Philadelphia said, "but you look much younger than me, is it because you are smaller?"

Nan Huailin: "..."

I really want to beat him.

Philadelphia looked through the drink list: "Don't drink the wine." He looked up and said to the waiter, "Come on, two cans of Lulu, it's hot."

The waiter left, Nan Huailin asked: "Don't you have something to tell me? What's the matter?"

Philly looked at him: "Do you know who I am?"

"...You are from Philadelphia." What an inexplicable question.

"I'm asking about my identity," Philly said with a smile.

Nan Huailin thought about it and said, "You are the younger brother of the president of Mingxi Media."

"Wrong," Fei Cheng said, "I'm Ming Xi's artist director."

"Ah?" Nan Huailin was slightly surprised. He remembered that Mingxi's artist director seemed to be named Cai. When did he become Philadelphia?

"I fired your agent today." Philadelphia said again.

"Open?" Nan Huailin was a little confused, "Why?"

"Because he doesn't do personnel business." Philadelphia said simply and clearly.

Nan Huailin was a little happy.

The worst thing he did was to sign a contract with He Dinghong. He thought he was his bole, but he turned out to be a pit of fire.

"I will distribute the artists under He Dinghong to other managers, including you." Fei Cheng said, "But I heard that you want to terminate the contract with Ming Xi?"

Nan Huailin nodded hesitantly: "En."

The reason why he wants to terminate the contract is because he offended He Dinghong, and there will be no way out if he stays in Mingxi, but now that He Dinghong has been kicked out by Philadelphia, it seems that he has no need to terminate the contract.

The waiter put the hot Lulu on the table, one can per person.

Philadelphia pulled the ring and handed it to Nan Huailin: "It's all yours, I don't drink it. If I film for you, will you still terminate the contract?"

Nan Huailin didn't answer.

He took a sip of Lulu, which was almond-flavored and a little sweet.

Philadelphia continued: "I looked at the information of all the signed artists of Mingxi yesterday, and roughly counted them. There are three first-tier artists, eight second-tier artists, and six third-tier artists. Eighth-line. I am going to clean up these [-]-line artists. Survival of the fittest, keep the truly capable ones, and eliminate all the fake ones. Completely reshape Mingxi's artist chain. Are you confident that you can stay?"

Nan Huailin didn't answer but instead asked, "So what if you stay?"

Philadelphia said: "If you can successfully stay, I will naturally provide you with resources so that you can film, but there is no guarantee that you will be popular, because popularity depends not only on strength, but also on luck."

Nan Huailin was moved.

He doesn't want to be popular, he just wants to have scenes to shoot.

"How are you going to clean it?" Nan Huailin asked.

"Examination," said Philadelphia, "from ancient times to the present, this is the simplest and crudest way to select talents."

Nan Huailin said: "I am confident that I can stay."

Philadelphia hooked his lips and smiled: "So confident?"

Nan Huailin nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

His eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if they held stars.

Philadelphia suddenly wanted to do this thing well, and he hadn't had the urge to do one thing well for a long time.

"I haven't figured out the method and time of the exam yet. I'll let you know when it's decided, but don't worry, I won't make you wait too long." Philadelphia paused, then said, "By the way, which agent do you want to follow?" Man? I can let you pass."

After signing the contract for more than half a year, Nan Huailin went to the company very few times, so he didn't know much about the people in the company.He said: "I can go anywhere, you can just watch the arrangements."

Philadelphia nodded: "OK."

Their skewers were finally served, and they smelled delicious.

Nan Huailin picked up a mutton skewer and handed it to Philadelphia: "Here you are."

Philadelphia took it, took a bite, and said with a smile: "This is the taste, delicious."

Nan Huailin ate in silence for a while, then suddenly asked: "Why are you so nice to me?"

Philadelphia thought for a while and said solemnly: "Because I'm a good person." Then he added in his heart: Because you are cute.

Nan Huailin said sincerely, "Thank you, Philadelphia."

Philadelphia twitched his chin: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

The grilled skewers were served plate after plate, and Nan Huailin couldn't eat anymore, but Philadelphia showed an amazing appetite.

Nan Huailin watched him eat while drinking Lulu, thinking that he might really be a glutton.

After Fei Cheng ate the last skewer, he stretched out his long hand and took Lu Lu in front of Nan Huailin: "Give me a drink, I'm choking to death."

"Hey——" Nan Huailin wanted to say that he drank it, but Philadelphia had already poured it into his mouth, "..."

The Adam's apple in Philadelphia is very obvious. When drinking, the Adam's apple rolls up and down, which somehow reveals a bit... sexy.

Nan Huailin moved his eyes away, got up and went to pay the bill.

Just the two of them ate more than 400 yuan for this meal.

Nan Huailin complained that it was due to the fact that he was born in a wealthy family in Philadelphia. If he was born in a poor family, he really couldn't afford it.

Nan Huailin silently calculated that his current total assets do not exceed 200 yuan.

If he was going to start acting again, he couldn't do housekeeping, but there was no acting for a while, so he had to find odd jobs to support himself.

But even in such a difficult situation, he is still full of joy, because the road to his dream has suddenly become clear, and nothing makes him happier than this.

"Come on," said Philly, "I'll buy you something to drink."

"No," Nan Huailin said, "I have to go home."

Philadelphia glanced at his watch: "It's only eight o'clock, what's the rush?"

Nan Huailin said: "I'm in a hurry to go home and be with my boyfriend."

Philadelphia raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay."

Nan Huailin waved his hand: "Goodbye."

Philly said, "Wait for my call."

"Okay." Nan Huailin showed a nice smile.

The two walked in opposite directions.

Nan Huailin took out his mobile phone, thought for a while, and called Ruan Xin.

"Assistant Ruan," Nan Huailin said, "is it convenient to talk now?"

"It's convenient," Ruan Xin said, "Has your fever gone?"

"Retired." Nan Huailin paused slightly, "Assistant Ruan, I called to talk to you about something."

"What's the matter?" Ruan Xin asked.

"I told you before that I have no acting to do, but now there is a sudden turning point, and I have the opportunity to act again, so I may not have time to do housekeeping work." Nan Huailin felt deeply guilty, "You are kind Give me a job, but I have caused you trouble, I am really very sorry."

Ruan Xin smiled and said: "This is a good thing, don't be sorry, I just need to recruit people, there is no trouble."

Nanhuai Lin hurriedly said: "I will do it until you recruit someone."

"Okay." Ruan Xin said, "Is there anything else?"

"No more," Nan Huailin said, "I'm really sorry."

"It's really okay," Ruan Xin said, "That's it for now, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Nan Huailin heaved a sigh of relief.

He felt both sorry and grateful to Ruan Xin, but he couldn't think of how to make it up for a while, so he had to keep it in his heart first, and then try to repay it later.

Take the subway to Shuangqiao, and after exiting the subway station, Nan Huailin went straight to the gym.

He has been running a fever for the past two days, he hasn't exercised at all, and tonight he ate such a high-calorie barbecue. If he doesn't run for an hour to consume it, he may be so uncomfortable that he can't sleep.

He always had spare shorts and a vest in his backpack, which he changed into when he got to the gym and went straight to the treadmill.

After running for an hour and a half, Nanhuailin was drenched in sweat from head to toe, feeling tired and refreshed.

Simply take a shower, change clothes and go home.

After I got home, I took a good shower, went to bed feeling refreshed, and fell asleep with a smile on my face.

Since breaking up with Shi Yan, today is the happiest.

It's great that he still has ideals to fight for after losing his love.

Anyone who has a dream is great, and there will be miracles if you have courage.

So he is also an amazing person, and Philadelphia is probably his miracle.

Nannan: ...a pig.

Chengcheng: No, you belong to me.
