Get Demoted Into Cannon Fodder

Arc 4.6

Shi Shen’s movements slowly came to a stop. He lightly glanced back at the man and tossed a question in a casual tone, "Oh right, what’s your name?’’

Hearing this, Gao Chen went silent, his expression was a bit hesitant.
 
Shi Shen who saw his reaction slightly narrowed his eyes and turned around intending to walk away, "Never mind-"

"... Chen."
 
Shi Shen paused and looked back in surprise, not expecting the other person to give him his real name. In the next second, however, the latter suddenly added, "Guan Chen."

Shi Shen briefly went silent. He raised an eyebrow, ‘’Guan? Are you related to Assistant Guan?’’

Gao Chen awkwardly nodded his head.

Due to their positions, it would be hard to interact with each other in the future, therefore, it didn't matter whether he was being truthful or not.

Or so he thought...

Gao Chen, too didn't understand why he was going as far as to wear a vest as Assistant Guan's relative.

It was just that seeing the other party turned around disinterestedly as if he were a nobody made his heart clench in anxiety.

I guess I am just not used to being overlooked.
 
Since things have already gone this far, Gao Chen deepened his lie with a straight face, ’’I’m his nephew.’’

"Achoo!"

Assistant Guan who was still in the party hall rubbed his itchy nose. Suddenly feeling a chill out of nowhere, he wondered if he had caught a cold or what.
 
Going back to Gao Chen's side, after revealing his identity, he was prepared to be asked for his contact number.

Well, I guess we have an affinity with each other so I don't mind giving him my num-

"It seems you are fond of 'Hen'."

Gao Chen, ’’...?’’

After dropping such a headless sentence, Shi Shen coolly walked away leaving Gao Chen to digest his words.

... Did he just call me a chicken?

No one expected Blood to do this well.

As the drama progressed, its rating continued to soar even surpassing the well-loved romantic comedy-drama, Summer Heart which aired earlier this year.

It would come as no surprise if 'Blood' were to bag several awards this year.
 
The one who benefited the most from this drama was neither Wu Wenming nor Yu Mei but Shi Shen who played the antagonist.

Due to his sudden surge in popularity, a big endorsement came to knock on Shi Shen's door even though he was not even qualified to pass the shortlist.

Cosmo was a well-known cosmetic brand. They were planning to launch a new set of perfume this year. As it happened, his handsome vampire image fitted perfectly with the theme which caught the editor-in-chief's eyes.

However, the other side was a bit hesitant since he was a bit too young.

Yu Yuan calmly relayed the news but deep down, she was not positive about securing this deal.

It was not that she underestimated her artist but Ye Xie didn't exude mature charms like what Cosmo was aiming for.

Not to mention, his fanbase was still relatively small in comparison to his rival, Du Zhu, an A-list celebrity who also came from their Agency.

It was safe to say that the victory had already been decided before the battle even started.
 
Unlike Yu Yuan who was bridled with worries, Shi Shen simply asked, "When is the audition?’’
 
Despite knowing they didn't stand a chance, Yu Yuan was still pleased to see that her artist was not discouraged in the face of this difficult challenge.
