Market supervision was quite lax back in 2011, you could get an anonymous SIM card easily at places like commercial streets, train stations and college towns. Anonymous SIM cards had attracted a lot of customers for the customers didn’t need to provide any ID besides the huge discounts.

Qi Le An had been thinking since he had seen the project in Wei Chang Feng’s room, Wei Chang Feng would suspect him if he pointed out directly and warned him about this. How could Qi Le An explain why would he know the inside information of those producers, and why would Wei Chang Feng believe him, a nobody in the industry.

Qi Le An decided he’d better stand in the background and remind Wei Chang Feng in some other way. He bought a SIM card and put it in his phone first thing after he went back to his dormitory, he started to ponder over his wording.

The General was produced by a company named Poised Deer, a leading player in daily chemical industry. If Qi Le An’s memory served him right, Li Hao Sheng, the corporate representative of the company was among the producers, and with a little it of research you would find that this Li Hao Sheng and the lieutenant of the Hong Gang were blood brothers. This whole thing was initiated by that Li Hao Sheng.

Qi Le An couldn’t believe what he had overheard in his last life could be so useful at the moment. He texted a long message to Wei Chang Feng, he was sure this message would alarm Wei Chang Feng for it was fully-detailed and well-grounded.

‘He was so drunk last night, I wonder how is he doing now, probably a bad hangover?’

Qi Le An’s phone vibrated soon, he checked the screen promptly, it was Wei Chang Feng, the message was short, “Who are you?”

Qi Le An smiled, he turned his phone off and switched his own SIM card back on, then he carefully put this new SIM card with Wei Chang Feng’s ear stud deep in the drawer.

It was still early, Qi Le An decided to spend his afternoon in the library. He made a plan that he would read every day to better enrich himself, that was an important way for personal growth. He grabbed a few bites in the canteen and went off to the library, and to his surprise, the library was so packed.

‘Haha, thanks to you, Brother Hu Bin, more and more people are into reading since you’ve become the reading promotion ambassador in Hai City.’ thought Qi Le An with a big smile.

There were four floors in Hai City Library, the first floor was the lobby and self-study area, the second floor was home to professional books, the third was for modern novels and social sciences books, while the fourth floor was for some historic newspapers and books, readers needed to apply for access for the fourth floor.

Qi Le An had already done his research before he came, he soon found most of all the books he wanted to borrow, among them were two new novels, he knew it very well both novels would be adapted to movies soon, he would like to read them in advance to better prepare himself and fight for the opportunity to be a part of the movies.

He then went to the third floor to find the last book on his list, but he alighted on a familiar figure who was sitting on the ground by the window as he turned around, it was Hu Bin who was engrossed in a book.

Qi Le An walked towards Hu Bin who was reading a manga book. All of a sudden Hu Bin raised his head as he sensed someone was approaching him, his eyes sparkled as he saw it was Qi Le An, “An!”

Hu Bin muffled his voice for they were in a library despite the excitement as he saw Qi Le An.

Qi Le An found it amusing that a big star like Hu Bin spent his day off in the library reading a manga book, “Ha, Brother Bin.”

Hu Bin checked the time and put his book back o the shelf, Hu Bin put his arm around Qi Le An’s shoulder, “Ha, let’s go out and talk, yeah?”

Qi Le An nodded.

“Ha, what are the odds, how have you been, An?”

Qi Le An smiled, “Nothing much, I’m starting to read more, thanks to you.”

Hu Bin cast a glimpse at the books in Qi Le An’s hands, “You like this type of novels?”

Qi Le An didn’t explain anything, soon they arrived at the rest lounge. Assistant He charged towards Hu Bin as soon as they entered the room, “Hu Bin! Where the heck have you been?”

Hu Bin took refuge behind Qi Le An’s back, “I went to see my brother from another mother!”

Assistant He’s face softened as he saw Qi Le An, “Can you please let me know next time, just don’t go MIA!”

Hu Bin patted Qi Le An’s shoulder, signal to him to keep quiet for now, then he apologized to Assistant He and changed the subject subtly.

“All right, you better get ready now, I will go confirm the rundown.”

Hu Bin heaved a sigh of relief as he stared at Assistant He’s retiring figure, then he turned around, “An, what am I gonna do without you, for sure he would nag me all day if not for you.”

Qi Le An almost burst into laughter as he saw Hu Bin’s facial expression.

They were in an VIP reading room, but the library made it a temporary rest lounge for Hu Bin now, there was a couch and a long table in the center of the room, there were some outfits lying on the sofa as well.

“An, I have a small fan meeting after this fan meeting in the library, care to join me?”

Qi Le An was dumbstruck, he stammered, “But... but I hadn’t prepared anything... ...”

Hu Bin lifted a hand in the air and comforted Qi Le An, “There is nothing to prepare, twenty minutes, no worried.”

Coverage was what Qi Le An needed the most at this point, he nodded and thanked Hu Bin right away.

“Seriously, don’t mention it.”

Hu Bin’s makeup artist now entered the room to give Qi Le An some final touch ups before he went on the stage. “An, just stay here for a few minutes, I’ll come get you right after this.”

Assistant He now pushed the door open with a piece of paper in hand, “Here, here is what you need to say, can you memorize them now?”

“Of course, and by the way, An is joining me for my next fan meeting.”

Assistant He showed a slight frown, but he didn’t say anything.

Soon it was Hu Bin’s cue, he left the room in high spirit.

“An, how have you been?” asked Assistant He.

Qi Le An felt so warm and relaxed in Assistant He’s presence, “I’m fine, how have you been, Brother He?”

Assistant He nodded slightly, but the dark circles under his eyes didn’t escape Qi Le An’s notice. “Hu Bin is under a lot of pressure recently, our company wanted to create some buzz for him, but he... ...”

Qi Le An now recalled Hu Bin and Lin Xue had some publicity stunt about dating after they finished To Perish Demons in the last life.

“You are joining their fan meeting later, right? Just don’t take it personally if something happens. I understand if you change your mind now... ...”

Qi Le An appreciated how genuine Assistant He was, but that didn’t bother him, so he replied, “I don’t think it’s a big deal, Brother He, plus I don’t want to turn down Brother Bin because he offered this to me for my own good.”

Hu Bin soon came back and got changed in the lounge. They left through the VIP passage for there was a huge crowd outside waiting for Hu Bin, they would hear the exclaims after they got in the car. Qi Le An couldn’t help imagining himself become as famous as Hu Bin in the future.

The following fan meeting was held in a fancy cafe, the decoration and the location were all perfect, it was a popular choice for fan meetings in the city.

Hu Bin’s makeup artist did Qi Le An’s makeup in the car, Qi Le An again was very grateful. He was glad that he was wearing his good outfit this day, otherwise he would felt so dwarfed in Hu Bin’s presence.

Soon Lin Xue had arrived as well, she was dumbstruck for a second when she saw Qi Le An, but soon she adjusted her facial expression and opened her arms wide to embrace Qi Le An, “Little Qi, long time no see, give me a hug.”

Qi Le An smiled and hugged Lin Xue, Lin Xue always appeared as friendly in front of people, she didn’t say anything when she saw Qi Le An in her and Hu Bin’s fan meeting. It was Hu Bin who explained on his own initiative, “I bumped into An in the library just now, so I brought him with me, hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course not, I’ve missed Little Qi.”

The MC introduced Qi Le An as the special guest, the fans were all Hu Bin and Lin Xue’s die-hard fans, they knew Qi Le An was Bell in the drama, and they didn’t mind seeing him as a special guest. There were even some fans who went to him asking for autographs, Qi Le An was so flattered.

The fan meeting featured finished in great atmosphere. Qi Le An noticed Hu Bin heaved a sigh of relief as Lin Xue said goodbye to them.

‘Isn’t that a little bit of overreacting? He acts like he is afraid of Lin Xue... ...’
