After I Was Reborn, I Was Caught by an Actor

16.2

 

Cui Huohuo, as a bad student*1t/n: 学渣: An academically poor student had a natural instinct to be very respectful towards top students. He raised the small electric fan hanging around his neck towards Qin Qing: “You should keep reading okay, I’ll help you with blowing the air.”

 

Qin Qing smiled: “No need, blow yourself instead.”

 

Cui Huohuo gestured for him to continue: “You see, I won’t disturb you.”

 

This scene fell into the eyes of the other two artist’s assistants, practically confirming the intriguing relationship between Qing and Su Zhihe.

 

Because see here, if both assistants were on equal footing, then why does Cui Huohuo need to hold up an electric fan and serve the other one like his boss?

 

Wasn’t it because the status was not ordinary?

 

These people senselessly started to chew their tongues* behind their back.

t/n: gossip/talk rubbish imo

 

“Who is he? Don’t think I’ve seen him before? I’ve only seen Cui Huohuo.”

 

“A newcomer.”

 

“He looks so young.”

 

“Yeah, he’s not old. I doubt that he’s up to twenty.”

 

“He’s fate must be bad to suffer hardship like this and not enjoy life.”

 

“It’s unlikely for Big Shot Su to ever dote on anyone.”

 

“Exactly. He can only sit in the RV and blast the air conditioning to feel happy.”

 

………….

While chatting, someone said, “Oh, how about going over to meet him.”

 

“Meet him? How?”

 

“I’ll just walk over and meet him.”

 

“You think you can do that? Isn’t that Boss Su’s person? Do you want to die?”

 

“What are you afraid of? They wouldn’t care, they are very busy recording.”

 

“In any case, I won’t go.”

 

“If you won’t go, I’ll go. It’s just a little boy, I’m not afraid.”

 

And really, there was someone who went over to meet Qin Qing with the excuse of borrowing some ice.

 

When they saw Qin Qing up close, he was amused in his heart: “Big shot Su, what’s going on? Even if the little boy was having a hard time on site, why was he so shabbily dressed?”

 

These clothes and these shoes, aren’t these street stall goods.?

 

That assistant’s eyes swept over Qin Qing’s body and the smile on his face gradually got deeper as if he’d discovered some interesting truth.

 

As soon as he raised his eyes, he met Qin Qing’s flat gaze.

 

Qin Qing: “there’s none.”

 

Assistant: “Ah?”

 

Qin Qing: “I said, there’s no ice.”

 

The assistant took Qin Qing as a child. He didn’t use the rules of how to get along with other adults. He was rejected but was still asking: “Is that so?”

 

There was clearly an icebox beside his feet.

 

He said again, “Don’t be so stingy. Just give me a little. We’re all in the same industry and are recording a program together, and will frequently meet”2t/n: 抬头不见低头见  lit: I don’t see (meet) the head raised but bowed; meet frequently. i was told that this is along the lines of ‘gave a little face, we’ll always see each other

 

Qin Qing directly ignored him and lowered his head to continue reading.

 

Not to mention that the assistant who asked for ice looked embarrassed but even Cui Huohuo was hesitating. Should they not give some?

 

Won’t that seem too unreasonable?

 

It seems that that’ll be meeting frequently has some truth in it.

 

Qin Qing didn’t acknowledge him at all and acted like that assistant was air.

 

The assistant didn’t expect that the little boy that looked young and naive, would actually be so rude when refusing people.

 

Who gave him the confidence? Su Zhihe?

 

Little brat, didn’t your mother ever teach you that to mix with somebody, it was important to be tactful and save face for others to leave a way out for yourself?

 

With a difficult temperament like this, watch how society will teach you how to behave!

 

But since Qin Qing really didn’t give out some, the assistant couldn’t do anything and had to turn around and leave.

 

As soon he left, Cui Huohuo asked Qin Qing: “Is it okay like this? Won’t it offend people too much?”

 

Qin Qing looked at the formula pocketbook and asked: “you carried this bit of ice, how long did it take you to go back and forth.?”

 

Cui Huohuo: “Uh an hour.”

 

Qin Qing: “when he came over, it didn’t even take a minute for him to open his mouth to ask for ice.”

 

Cui Huohuo scratched his neck.

 

Qin Qing turned his head to teach him: “Remember well, this isn’t called borrowing something, it’s called ‘taking advantage of someone’.”

 

What’s more, that man originally didn’t come over to ask for ice cubes. Ice cubes were simply an excuse.

 

That man came to observe him.

 

As for why another artist’s assistant would intentionally use a pretext to come over and observe him; he also wants to know what’s so good to see.

 

Qin Qing: Maybe to see if he was among the dirty pieces in the dye vat. 

 

At this time, where several assistants had gathered together, the sound of laughter could be heard.

 

Cui Huohuo looked over and realized: “They aren’t laughing at us, right?”

 

Qin Qing flipped the book, he clearly understood what was going on: “they are talking about me.”

 

Cui Huohuo: “talking about you? Why are they talking about you?”

 

It doesn’t matter.

 

It would basically be about, his style and his clothes, his appearance, and the way he spoke and then they’d start baseless and unpleasant associations: to criticize and speculate and chew their tongues.

 

Cui Huohuo looked over again and discovered that a few people were also looking at them.

 

Cui Huohuo frowned: “Is there something good to see.”

 

There was definitely nothing interesting to see.

 

Yet this wasn’t the case for those people there.

 

Cui Huohuo somewhat understood: “No wonder the boss allowed me to avoid these people when I’m alone.”

 

As a result, just after the assistant who asked for ice left,  another assistant voluntarily came over to share a coke.

 

The assistant laughed hehe and towards Qin Qing said: “let’s get to know each other and be friends.”

 

Qin Qing didn’t take the Coke and raised his eyes to look at him.

 

The assistant started talking: “Are there only two assistants on Teacher Su’s side?”

 

Qin Qing did not make a sound.

 

The assistant was smiling: “Ah no. I’m not asking you for something. Don’t look at me like that.”

 

Baffled, Cui Huohuo was unable to resist: “What do you guys want?”

 

“I told you, to be friends.” The assistant carried two bottles of coke and in a reproachful tone: “it’s you guys that are ignoring me, okay.”

 

After he finished saying this, he swept his eyes over to Qin Qing and seeing that he didn’t react to anything, felt bored and left with the Cokes.

 

And after this, one after another, there was always someone coming over. Some people would find a reason and some people simply didn’t even have a reason. Just did like they were passing by and they’d look at Cui Huohuo and then take a long and meaningful glance at Qin Qing, before walking past.

 

Cui Huohuo: Where is the zoo you guys are visiting one after another?

 

However, these people are not really doing anything. It was simply to embarrass people.

 

Cui Huohuo couldn’t make sense of it. Are they targeting Qin Qing?

 

Qin Qing absolutely didn’t provoke them right?

 

At most, he didn’t borrow the ice cubes, that’s all.

 

Not borrowing the ice couldn’t be the reason why these people were targeting them, right?

 

When another person came, Cui Huohuo was completely furious. He glared at the person and stood up from the chair with a swish.

 

The other side was startled. What are you doing?

 

Cui Huohuo raised his hand and pointed with a warning face.

 

The other side stepped back, but his expression was not afraid at all.

 

Cui Huohuo sat back down: “they’re sick!” He turned his head and looked at Qin Qing. Seeing that he was still memorizing the formula: “You are also being too calm!”

 

You’re being targeted like this!

 

Qin Qing: “There are still two pages left, wait for me to finish memorizing.”

 

Cui Huohuo: “You can still continue to memorize?.”

 

Qin Qing was unruffled: “I can.”

 

In those days, Inorder to climb up, what things didn’t he experience?

 

This was merely common child play at most.  

 

This thing was not enough to infuriate him.

 

After he finished memorizing the two pages, Qin Qing closed the book, stuffed it into the bag, and stood up: “Let’s go.”

 

Cui Huohuo: “Where are we going?”

 

Qin Qing: “Take you to attend a social practice class.”

 

They walked to the place where the assistants were gathered together, when they got 2 or 3 meters away, they were confronted with several stares. Qin Qing calmly began to “teach”. He signaled to Cui Huohuo to look at the man who had just come over to ask him for ice cubes.

 

“Those who move first* are generally divided into two types of people. One type is instigated by someone, and one will charge enemy lines by themselves”

t/n: taking the lead in doing something*

 

“Like him for example, he obviously wanted to come over by himself.”

 

Why?

 

“Because when he faces people, he’s able to observe by himself so when he comes over he will use the excuse of asking for ice.”

 

“This kind of person has his own observation method and ability to do things and will take the lead*. It shows that this type of person is fond of coming up with ideas for people.”

 

The assistants that were sitting together: “?????”

 

What the hell is this?

 

The assistant who was commented on: “hey? What are you doing?”

 

Qin Qing ignored it all and continued to signal to Cui Huohuo to look at the man who had just brought the Coke to them.

 

“He brought something to come over with the reason of making friends, normally this kind of person is better at talking because they are good at communicating with people.”

 

“and if there is a high emotional intelligence, as a rule, they will not glance at things when  chatting with someone and If they brought something, even if they can’t make friends or other people ignore them, they will not take the things away.”

 

“but things that are taken away, indicate a lack of sincerity, and the emotional intelligence is also not enough.”

 

“You need to be cautious to get along with this type of person because when you talk more with him and think that you and he are very familiar, he may misunderstand some of your words and actions because of his insufficient emotional intelligence, and ultimately when you feel that you know each other very well, he’ll think you’re nothing special.”

 

The assistant that brought the Coke: “…”

 

The assistant raised his finger to Qin Qing, but fearing any undesirable repercussion, intentionally suppressed his voice. As he approached, he snapped: “What are you doing?”

 

Qin Qing ignored him the same way, and then signaled to Cui Huohuo: “This is one who came over then walked past……”

 

“F*ck!” That person: “You, shut up!”

 

The other few assistants speechlessly looked at Qin Qing.

 

Does this bastard not know how to behave or is he not afraid of being beaten to death?

t/n: oh God, this is my favorite chapter now

 

Was there really such a person who could stand in front of people and judge them?

 

“You came over to embarrass us, right?”

 

Several people approached at the same time, relying on the crowd’s posture.

 

Cui Huohuo subconsciously stood in front of Qin Qing.

 

Qin Qing patted Cui Huohuo and stood unperturbed while facing those people: “You should make a little more noise. Might as well interrupt the recording and let the bosses come over.”

 

Several men paused and some people turned their heads to glance at the distance.

 

Among the people who glared at Qin Qing: “your boss will also come over, and you’d be in trouble too*!

t/n: 吃不了兜着走: lit: if you can’t finish eating, (you’ll put it in your) pocket to go. Means: find oneself in serious trouble; to bear all the consequences..

 

Qin Qing was amused: “the same?”

 

His face was indifferent and asked rhetorically: “How can I be the same as you guys?”

 

Qin Qing was not only fearless of the people splashing mud on his body but like playing in the mud, he himself also jumped into the sewage: “I’m not an assistant. So what if the boss comes? Why would I be afraid?”

 

Everyone: “…”

 

Qin Qing suddenly thought of something, excitedly he looked at Cui Huohuo, and suggested: “By the way, how about interrupting the recording and letting the bosses come over to take a look?”

 

Cui Huohuo was still in the digestive phase at the moment and couldn’t make any appropriate response.  When Qin Qing asked him, he just looked at Qin Qing.

 

Qin Qing thought to himself and said. “Let’s see what would happen when the bosses come and then we’ll see how Brother He reacts when he finds out. this way we’ll also verify if brother He cares about me a lot.”

 

Everyone: “…”

 

Qin Qing with an eager expression looked at the several assistants around: ” hurry up then.”

 

“…What do you mean hurry up.”

 

Qin Qing: “hurry up and make a big noise, so that the recording stops.”

 

Who the hell dares to do this?

 

You just said you’re not an assistant!

 

You are not, but we all are!

 

No one wanted to make trouble at the site. Several assistants immediately dispersed on the spot and walked aside, not wanting to tangle with Qin Qing.

 

However, Qin Qing did not let them off, he closely followed while leading Cui Huohuo and continuing the “lesson” from a moment ago.

 

“The position of an assistant is not high, and it’s easy to come across problems that can’t be solved.”

 

“Big things are actually not big deals. But a little thing is often the most annoying.”

 

“If you can deal with it, do your best to handle it but If you can’t handle it, you can avoid it first.”

 

“But I suggest you deal with it, because the more you deal with it, the more experience you can gain and face more situations and problems in the future.”

 

“And if the small problem is not solved, the other person might later on continue to annoy you.”

 

“But the solution can’t be done recklessly. It’s better to have a way.”

 

Cui Huohuo hurried after Qin Qing: “like now?”

 

One of the men being followed by Qin Qing turned around and made a pleading motion with his hands together: “I’m afraid of you, don’t follow, okay.”

 

Qin Qing lightly snorted: “I was just waiting for you to make a big noise for me so that the recording can be stopped”

 

The man didn’t run away again but stood by a tree, hugging his arms and saying nothing.

 

Qin Qing then began to teach Cui Huohuo: “hugging the arms is the most obvious defensive movement. It shows that the heart is guarded and not saying anything might be lacking confidence or that they might be calmly thinking about countermeasures.”

 

The man: “…”

 

On second thought, run!

 

Qin Qing didn’t follow this time and turned his head to look at Cui Huohuo.

 

Cui Huohuo blinked and became very interested in this practical lesson and eager to try: “Why don’t you follow them?”

 

Because the class is already over.

 

Qin Qing smiled: “the moment the other person avoids you, your counterattack has been successful.”

 

This was Qin Qing’s first serious trick after being reborn. The trick was particularly childish and very low-grade, but it made his mood pleasant and his smile was blooming.

 

Cui Huohuo blankly stared and foolishly scratched his head asking: “These people won’t later target us again right?”

 

Qin Qing and Cui Huohuo walked back together, because of the happy mood, his tone was cheerful.

 

“If they target you again, I’ll take you on another social practice class.”

 

Cui Huohuo suddenly thought: “what if they’d made a big scene?”

 

Qin Qing smiled and said indifferently: “Then it’s best to make a bigger scene.”

 

Cui Huohuo was enlightened: “Ah right, even if we make a big scene, there’s still a boss to support us.”

 

At the same time, he remembered a more important thing that he’d almost overlooked.

 

——Qin Qing, he originally wasn’t an assistant!

 

It was Boss Su who specially brought him alongside to contact* and look at “the person he likes”.

t/n: constantly meet; encounter*

 

Who dares move the person Boss Su likes?

 

Cui Huohuo grasped the sleeve strands on his shoulders again, on the spot as if transformed into a vicious tiger, his face became domineering.

 

Bring it on, bring it on again. Let’s see if Laozi won’t tear you guys up!

 

Roar…woo ~!

t/n: I’m sure that roar, tampered off to a whimper
