122: Acting Out of Control
Women rarely do things cleanly and efficiently. The negotiations between Bai Feifei and Yao Nulang dragged on for a week without reaching an agreement, leaving Han Wen speechless.
He knew perfectly well that Yao Girl was deliberately stalling. It wasn't to raise the conditions; she was simply waiting for Han Wen to show up in person.
Because she's the woman behind Han Wen. Even if a contract is signed, it will be with Han Wen; Bai Feifei isn't qualified.
The two are said to be sisters, but their relationship is really just so-so. At least, Yao Girl wouldn't really consider Bai Feifei a sister.
For the sake of men, interests, and family status, it's already a miracle if two people don't fall out; how could they possibly be as close as sisters?
"Han Wen, why don't you come to the company?" Bai Feifei said helplessly on the phone. "I don't know what's wrong with Yao Yao. She seems like she's suddenly become a different person. If you don't show up, this matter probably won't work out."
Han Wen knew that Yao Girl was causing trouble. She didn't dare to come in front of her mother or herself, so she only dared to bully Bai Feifei secretly. That was going too far.
He still had deep feelings for the female knight-errant, and now that she was in trouble, he naturally wanted to help her.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll be there in a bit." Han Wen nodded.
He had important business to attend to, and he probably wouldn't be able to rehearse with his teacher, Ms. Yu, tonight.
"Is something wrong?" Teacher Yu was somewhat surprised to see Han Wen packing his things.
These days, she spends every night with Han Wen honing her acting skills and has grown accustomed to his company.
I was surprised and a little reluctant to see the other person leave tonight.
"The company wants to sign a new talent, but my girlfriend can't handle it. So, I need to go and see for myself," Han Wen replied.
"What exactly is the reason?" Teacher Yu asked curiously, "Are all newcomers this arrogant, conceited, and ignorant these days? They're letting such a good opportunity slip by; what are they trying to do?"
"Because I'm jealous," Han Wen replied with a smile. "The company boss is my official friend, and the artist he's signing is the woman behind me. Tell me, how could this not cause trouble?"
"You, oh dear, Korean, I was just asking casually, why did you tell me right away?" Teacher Yu was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed.
Because she is now, in fact, the woman behind Han Wen.
"You're the teacher, and I'm the student. If the teacher asks a question, how could I, as the student, dare not answer seriously and honestly?" Han Wen explained with a smile, "Teacher Yu, would you like to come with me to watch the excitement?"
"I'm not going," Teacher Yu shook her head. "If they start arguing and fighting, I won't know whose side to take."
"Don't help anyone else, just help me. No matter what happens, just remember to always stand by my side." Han Wen replied, "Don't worry about being caught in the crossfire. I know my own woman, I can handle her."
"Do you even know me? Are you going to try and control me?" Teacher Yu asked with a smile.
"I wouldn't dare. You're my teacher, and I'm your student. You're the one who controls me, not the other way around." Han Wen shook his head. "I asked you to come over because I hoped you could help me. You're my favorite woman right now, so you'll definitely help me, right?"
"Hanwen, you seem to be getting more and more shameless and vulgar lately." Teacher Yu was speechless, feeling that Hanwen had changed so much recently that it was hard for her to accept.
"Teacher Yu, haven't you noticed or realized that although I haven't become Ma Xiaojun, I have become a different person?" Han Wen reminded him with a smile, "Besides, this isn't vulgar, but rather romantic."
As the saying goes, "A man who doesn't live life to the fullest in his youth has wasted his life; if you don't go crazy now, you'll be too old later." Life is short, so I definitely want to make the most of my youth and live life to the fullest.
"Excuses? You're just a lecherous womanizer." Teacher Yu exposed his shameless face.
"If a man isn't lustful, is he even a man? If a woman isn't jealous, is she even a woman?"
"Teacher Yu, I don't believe you're feeling comfortable right now. I don't believe you don't want to go and see what's going on." Han Wen also directly touched the other person's heart: "Come on, let's go see your rival. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
You wouldn't want to be utterly defeated and forced to flee in disarray if you two were to meet again someday, would you?
"You knew I was upset, but you still brought it up on purpose. Han Wen, you can be really awful sometimes." Teacher Yu said angrily, "Aren't you worried that I'll team up with them to teach you a lesson later? Then you'll have nowhere to cry."
"Teacher Yu, you underestimate me. If you really think that way, you can try it out later." Han Wen said nonchalantly, "Let's go, Teacher Yu, it's time to take you to see my women."
"Fine, I'll go. Who's afraid of who?" Teacher Yu gritted her teeth and decided to go for it.
Han Wen was delighted to see that Teacher Yu had agreed. He picked up his packed things, took her arm, and they walked outside together.
"Teacher Yu, please keep my acting training class with you and my upcoming movie role a secret," Han Wen said as he walked. "I don't want my family or anyone around me to know about these things."
"Why?" Teacher Yu asked in surprise.
"I'm afraid I won't achieve anything and they'll laugh at me," Han Wen explained. "In the past, my mother hoped I would become an actor, singer, or host. But I refused."
I've suddenly changed my mind, and I feel so ashamed. So, I have to do these things secretly, without telling anyone.
If I don't achieve anything, I'll pretend none of this ever happened. If I do achieve something, then I can make a big splash later.
"You, Hanwen, you're really funny." Teacher Yu nodded. "I'm your teacher, of course I'll help you. But, you asked me to lie, how exactly are you going to thank me?"
"Teacher Yu, how about I give you a courtyard house?" Han Wen thought for a moment and then suddenly asked.
"Ah, Korean, did I hear that right? You're not kidding me, are you?" Teacher Yu was stunned and very surprised.
"I'm not joking," Han Wen said seriously.
"Hanwen, you know, I'm going abroad. And I don't know when I'll be able to come back."
Even if you gave me the house, I wouldn't live there. Why would you do something so pointless?
"Besides, who knows what might happen in the future? You don't need to go to so much trouble for me." Teacher Yu sighed.
"Teacher Yu, I understand what you're saying. But I just want to give it to you. I have many houses, and they're not worth much these days."
"You're my woman, so take what I'm giving you." Han Wen said firmly, "I hope that even if you're abroad in the future, you can keep your heart in China. Keep it with me, keep it in this house."
I'm waiting for you to return after your studies, waiting for you to come and help me. I have many businesses and many things to do; I simply can't manage them all by myself. I need your help and support.
Even if we don't become husband and wife in the future, we can still be friends or confidants, or continue as teacher and student.
"Okay, Han Wen, I understand your intentions." Teacher Yu thought for a moment and nodded: "I can accept the house."
But you don't need to give it to me right now. Let's talk about it after I get back to China, okay?
"Okay, I'm relieved as long as you agree. I'll take you to see some houses tonight, and I'll hold them for you once you've chosen one."
"So that I don't accidentally give it to another woman and you'll be angry when you return to China." Han Wen smiled: "Teacher Yu, I'm so lucky to have you in my life."
"Han Wen, you're really too good at chasing and coaxing girls. Meeting you in this life is the worst luck I've ever had." Teacher Yu gritted her teeth, making a cracking sound.
