One Useless Rebirth

“Manager?” Xing Shaofeng got interested and supported his head with his hand. The horrible skin of his face contrasted sharply to his slender and beautiful fingers. He asked, “So your friend is a celebrity? Do you mind telling me who he is?”

He Bai had spent so many years with him in the past life, so he knew that he got interested when he asked that way. He then replied immediately, “My friend is Di Qiuhe. He used to work for Huangdu but now he is working on his own. He has got the perfect look and acting skills, and he is also very hardworking and with huge potential. You will get much more from him, trust me!”

Xing Shaofeng had strong capabilities but he didn’t want to be controlled by the company. He also didn’t want to start his own business, so he only wanted to work for someone.

His preference for a job was quite special that he only chose individual person to work for. And he only chose the one who had huge potential and who was particularly good at something. In his words from the past life, he would say, “I really enjoy the feeling of cultivating my own boss.”

He was also quite peculiar in asking for salary. The more potential his boss got, the less money he would ask for; yet the less potential his boss got, the more money he would require on the contrary. It was said that he believed that he felt “not willing to fight at all, and sometimes wanting to smash the boss” when developing a person with less potential. And instead, he felt “super eager to fight and would rather pay his own money to witness the process of a nobody turning into a great one.”

Anyway, this was a guy with strong capabilities and also interesting personality. Yet a person like him saw He Bai as a guy with huge potential in the past life, and he had only asked him for 1 million as his annual salary, which was his lowest request for god’s sake!

Back then, He Bai had felt that the price was a bit expensive, and then he had been totally

convinced by Xing Shaofeng’s financial planning. It was just super hard to find someone like him who managed your money to make more money to pay his own salary! One must be retarded to not hire him!

But maybe because no one was retarded, so Xing Shaofeng could never get along with his bosses. Ordinary people always wanted to keep their cash cow for their entire life, but the cash cow didn’t think the same.

Therefore, there were many dramas going on, such as looting, forcing, or something like “if you aren’t mine then you aren’t his either.” And then, that was quite a good-looking cash cow, who was so lovely and considerate. So apart from those money-looting bosses, there were also some lunatics who wanted to ruin him as they couldn’t get him.

What a sad story. Could anything be more pathetic?

It seemed that Xing Shaofeng’s face was ruined because a former female boss failed to get him and got mentally ill that she put a poisonous bug on his face. Yet luckily, that bug was not as horrible as the sulfuric acid, so he could still be cured. Also, Xing Shaofeng was born to be handsome, so after half a year of recovering, he regained his beautiful face and didn’t have any scar left.

So jealous.

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m wondering about how your face…” He Bai wisely stopped speaking with a sly grin. That was so close that he almost got busted. He Bai has just spent too many years with him in the past life that he had no guard up in front of him.

“Face?” Xing Shaofeng saw that he suddenly stopped speaking with his grin, so he thought maybe He Bai was afraid of touching his sore spot. He laughed lightly and said, “Just got ill and it’s gonna be alright after a few months. Sorry for scaring you.”

He Bai immediately said that he was not scared and changed the topic right away.

Xing Shaofeng looked at his face and saw his clear eyes. He smiled even more and said, “I know the Di Qiuhe you said. He is the oldest son of Huangdu. And the thing about his family is quite heatedly discussed on the internet lately. I know barely anything about the showbiz, so can you tell me something about it?”

Hearing that, He Bai knew that he might have a chance, so he talked Di Qiuhe up from head to toe as if he was a big fan of him.

Xing Shaofeng looked at him while listening and he was quite suspicious about Bai’s trust in him, yet he really liked that. Therefore, he relaxed when talking to him, and they got closer to each other soon.

When the plane landed, Xing Shaofeng was super curious about Di Qiuhe. And he and He Bai had become good friends from strangers at rocket speed.

Xing Shaofeng was quite surprised about how relaxed he got today, but he just let it go after making sure that He Bai meant nothing bad. There were just so few right people to meet in this world, and now that he’s met one, how could he just let him go?

At the airport.

Di Qiuhe worked intensely for two big scenes on purpose, just to make the time for tonight to pick He Bai up at the airport. But when he finally met his lover, he found out that he was with someone! And that was a guy! A guy with wide shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs. A guy who was his matched rival!

That totally alarmed him that he frowned and dragged down his mask a little bit, and then went from the dark corner into the crowd in a brighter place so that He Bai could easily see him.

Then He Bai walked closer to him without even noticing because he was talking with his companion devotedly and passed him by.

Bang!

His joy was short-lived and he strode along to press He Bai’s shoulders with his eyes drooped. He held him in his arms and dragged him close, and then squinting at Xing Shaofeng who looked back after hearing the noise. He said by He Bai’s ear with his eyes half-opened, “Puppy, who is this? Is he some stranger you met on the plane?”

Since he was wearing a mask, there was no breath blowing in the ear. He Bai just got surprised lightly and then went grumpy that he relaxed his tense body to hit him with an elbow. He Bai turned over to face him and rubbed his head, saying with eyebrows knitted, “Are you trying to freak me out? Why are you here to pick me up? Have you finished your drama?”

Di Qiuhe just stood there to get rubbed and he even bent down his head a little bit. He replied while making his scarf neat, “I finished early today so here I am. It’s so late, are you feeling cold? Let’s go back to the hotel.” Then he tried to take him away.

“Wait!” He Bai felt that Di was really good at ignoring other people, so he dragged his arm to pull him back. He pushed him to Xing Shaofeng and introduced, “This is Di Qiuhe. How do you feel? Told you he’s got the perfect shape. Look at the legs, waist, pecs, fine bones…can’t see his face right now because of the mask but please don’t worry, because he is definitely more handsome in person than in the picture!” He tapped on Di Qiuhe’s waist, back and face with tons of affection.

What a pity that his little Bai and heart still didn’t feel anything.

However, Di Qiuhe was totally turned on by his touches. The moment when he wanted to rub him in his arms, he saw that guy who fully covered his face was following He Bai’s words to look at him up and down. So he dragged down He Bai’s hand and asked with his eyebrows frowned, “Bai, who is this…”

And how come puppy was acting like a pimp trying to pimp out his whores?

“Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce.” He Bai was acting just like a worried “old father” who was trying to set up his silly son with a pretty girl. He walked out and stood next to them and introduced them to each other, “Qiuhe, this is Mr. Xing Shaofeng, a friend I met on the plane. He is an excellent talent manager. Shaofeng, this is Di Qiuhe, my good friend.”

Di Qiuhe was getting super jealous.

Shaofeng? How come he got so intimate with a stranger he just met? Besides, why did he introduce more about him than me? He favored him?

With all of those questions in his mind, Di Qiuhe pretended to be just as usual and reached out his hand to Xing Shaofeng, saying politely, “Hello, nice to meet you. Bai is a simple person and thank you for taking care of him on the plane, Mr. Xing.”

Xing Shaofeng looked at them and realized something. He shook his hand with him and smiled, “Hello, you’re welcome Mr. Di. Bai was such a nice person that he helped me out on the plane. I should thank him a lot, if anything.”

Di Qiuhe became even more jealous hearing it that he was almost going crazy.

This guy…seemed to be challenging him.
