Professional Body Double

Chapter 18

Their company's boss booked a banquet hall at a hotel to hold a welcoming reception for Lan Xirong. Lan Xirong had actually come back to China twice before, apparently to prepare to record a single. However, that movie really did take over a year to finish shooting. After the filming finished, Lan Xirong's status in the China was already substantially different.

Almost all of people in their company had come today. Their company wouldn't be considered big, but it had seventy to eighty employees, and always performed pretty well financially. The boss was the child of an official. He owned a wide range of businesses, and his personality was also relatively weird. However, he was a good person and gave his employees good company benefits. Whether it was Zhou Xiang or some other employee, everyone felt really comfortable working for this company.

As soon as Zhou Xiang walked into the hotel, he saw Cai Wei greeting and welcoming guests. Zhou Xiang called out to him and then walked over.

Cai Wei was too busy to pay attention to him. "Go up by yourself, second floor."

When someone was famous and popular, it really was a hundred answers to a single call. At least three hundred people had come today. There were over ten reporters, and also many entertainment industry bigshots. Their Chief Wang obviously wanted to create hype for Lan Xirong.

Although Zhou Xiang was just a little no-name martial arts stuntman, his face was widely known and he knew a lot of people. In addition, he had a good personality, and could get along with almost anyone. On the way up, he came across quite a few acquaintances. He had his hands full greeting them.

After he went upstairs, he finally saw Lan Xirong and their Chief Wang. They were surrounded by people in the centre of the banquet hall.

Like his appearance on TV, Lan Xirong was young and handsome and his face was like a crowned jade. Two dimples appeared on his face whenever he smiled, and was extremely cute. His fresh and clean temperament, which lay somewhere in between a boy and a man, had the ability to make people's favourability factor of him double.

Seeing Lan Xirong flushed with success like this, Zhou Xiang found it really difficult to connect him with that boy who had just graduated from a film academy, whose future prospects were a big blur, and always carried hotpot ingredients to his house to eat with him.

Zhou Xiang aimlessly wandered over.

Lan Xirong and Chief Wang noticed him at the same time. Lan Xirong's eyes suddenly brightened and he gazed steadily at Zhou Xiang. He looked a bit excited.

Zhou Xiang calmly walked over to greet him. "Xirong, Xiang'ge congratulates you for your triumphant return." After that, he smiled at Chief Wang. "Chief Wang, you're back." He then deliberately stood to the side of Chief Wang, not setting aside excessive time for Lan Xirong.

Disappointment flashed across Lan Xirong's eyes. However, there were loads of people around him, and so he couldn't get side-tracked, and only snuck peeks at Zhou Xiang's direction from time to time.

Zhou Xiang said quietly to their originally white and plumb Chief Wang, "Chief Wang, you got black."

Chief Wang snorted twice, "What?"

Zhou Xiang winked as he said, "You went to Tibet to abstain from meat and pray to the Buddha, you haven't touched meat and fish for three months. After coming back, does everyone look strangely good-looking?"

Chief Wang glared at him. "You look strangely good-looking to me, want me to use the unwritten rule [1] on you?"

Zhou Xiang laughed, "Come at me, that's exactly what I want."
