Chapter 19.4

This would be touching porcelain*. How dare I compete with a senior actor?

*T/N: A Chinese idiom. In this case, it means that Chu Xiaoyi would be overestimating his acting ability if he compares himself to a Grand Slam actor.

Knowing this, it seemed that Chu Xiaoxiao’s evaluation was not low. Chu Xiaoyi felt good in his heart, but said humbly, “Yes, yes, you are right, I don’t play as well as him…”

If I’m only less than him, that means that I still act better than others. Rounding up, that means my sister is praising me!

Chu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but be surprised when she saw him talking agreeably.

Who knows what he’s thinking.

On the third day of recording Chu Xiaoyi’s daily life at home, after he sent his sister to kindergarten as usual in the morning, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, as long as he made dinner at home, and then brought Chu Xiaoxiao back in the afternoon, he basically completed his task of being in charge of their family for three days.

Chu Jiadong and Xiao Bi had already gone out to work. Chu Xiaoyi was quite relaxed after returning home, and even had time to have a small meeting with agent He Xin.

He said smugly, “Actually, it’s not too difficult, I even have spare time to do your work.”

He Xin replied, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Chu Xiaoyi handed him the business cards he received yesterday, and said in high spirits, “Oh, look at the gap between us.”

He Xin glared at his artist inexplicably, but he was surprised when he saw the stack of business cards clearly. He exclaimed, “Where did you get these?”

Of course, He Xin knew the difficulty of digging for resources. Generally speaking, the older the broker, the more valuable he would be. That’s because, only if you have been mixed in the circle for a long time and have enough network resources, will others think of contacting you.

However, Chu Xiaoyi was really admirable. He even got the business card of the company that he was looking for before.

He actually directly got the business card of this big guy!

Chu Xiaoyi grabbed the business card and said leisurely, “Gee, I feel that it’s better for me to change careers in the future to be an agent.”

He Xin was now completely temperless, he wanted to take back the business card, and said busily, “Don’t take it back! Let me see it again…maybe you can really do it!”

Chu Xiaoyi just boasted to his agent. He did not really intend to disturb other parents. But He Xin’s focus was different from his; he wanted to give it a try when the opportunity was presented to them.

Agents don’t care about what their relationship was. Their job required them to have thick skin for their artists; naturally He Xin wanted to rush forward.

Chu Xiaoyi said, “No, I just made a joke, don’t take it seriously…”

He Xin insisted, “Then you just try! Try a little more!”

He Xin wanted to take a commission from Chu Xiaoyi’s endorsement. So naturally, he wanted his artist to joke more, maybe they’d really get more opportunities if they continued doing so.

“…”

The business cards were taken away by He Xin. Chu Xiaoyi hurriedly said, “Don’t call people indiscriminately, it will make me embarrassed!  You let me choose first! ”

He Xin unwillingly handed them back. Chu Xiaoyi’s brows furrowed as he browsed through the collection of cards. After a long time of choosing, he finally picked out two or three cards, “That’s all, only these are okay…”

Chu Xiaoyi felt that Annie’s mother and others who showed a cooperative tone were okay. But other parents were not familiar with them, so it was really difficult to bother.

He had heard Annie’s mother mention their brand’s market, and he can basically understand the other party’s hints. The two sides talked about business well, so it wouldn’t be trouble for each other.

“Okay, then how should I introduce myself?”

He Xin always had to know the distance between Chu Xiaoyi and the other party in order to grasp the initial tone of greeting.

Chu Xiaoyi tentatively said, “… Brother Xiaoxiao’s agent?”

“???”

He Xin found a new target so he left with the business cards in a wistful manner, and tried to get the job done. Chu Xiaoyi arranged the task for the agent, but he never expected that Chu Xiaoxiao would also arrange a new task for him.

Xiao Bi suddenly called, saying that the teacher asked the parents to come to the kindergarten for a meeting, but she couldn’t take leave in the afternoon.

Chu Xiaoyi said blankly, “It’s only the second day of school, and she was invited to the guidance counselor? Is Xiaoxiao so playful?”

Chu Xiaoyi has to suspect that the production team deliberately made trouble. Who can make a dramatic climax just after three days, wouldn’t this look like they’re acting in a TV series? Even their screenwriter didn’t dare to write their script like that!

Xiao Bi’s tone revealed a hint of helplessness, “Xiaoxiao doesn’t deal well with her kindergarten teacher. In fact, I took her and reconciled with her teacher once before, but it obviously didn’t work…”

Chu Xiaoxiao has always been unable to get along with a certain teacher in their class. Just before the holiday, Xiao Bi and the school came forward together, asking both sides to take a step back and completely turn the matter over.

However, this kind of concession was obviously only at surface level, and Chu Xiaoxiao clashed with the other party again two days after the start of school.
