Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes. Mei Zihan is transparent, not shameless like his ex boyfriend, what would he be afraid of?

“Cough, what does your boyfriend look like? Let me see. What does he do?” w.a.n.g Xiaoman’s gossiping heart began to rise.

Mei Zihan’s mouth turned up again. “He’s a university teacher, Jiang Ying. Here, let me show you the picture.”

“University teacher? An intellectual! ” w.a.n.g Xiaoman can’t help but rock her brain a little, “My boy’s taste has changed?”

“Leave me alone. You see, my taste has changed, but it has become better.”Mei Zihan opened his cell phone like a treasure offering and released a photo.

“Ah, a handsome man!” w.a.n.g Xiaoman looks at Mei Zihan in surprise.

She has been in the circle for so many years. She has seen her share of handsome guys, but from her perspective, Mei Zihan’s boyfriend is too handsome. What’s more, his temperament is outstanding. The photos couldn’t restrict the intellectual atmosphere around the man.

In circles… There are all kinds of people in the circle, but just a few like him!

If he entered the circle, she’s afraid he’d make many people blush.

Mei Zihan turned off his mobile phone and said happily, “That is, I fell in love with him at first sight. Could I be any worse?”

When w.a.n.g Xiaoman saw Mei Zihan like this, she was too lazy to beat him.

“Take care of him!”

“Definitely.” Little Plum was as beautiful as a flower.

“Think about what I said before.” w.a.n.g Xiaoman said again, “You don’t want your boyfriend to watch you in this kind of show every day.”

(TLN: Mei Zihan’s name written in chinese is ‘梅自寒’.’梅’ means plum, which is why sometimes he may be referred to as ‘Little Plum’)

Mei Zihan confessed bitterly, “I see. Sister Xiaoman, it doesn’t matter if you are hungry. You can’t be hungry for my little niece. Have a meal.”

“Rascal, you don’t have to tell me!”

Finally, after talking with sister Xiaoman, Mei Zihan came down to eat his own food.

In fact, Xiaoman’s worry is not unreasonable. Mei Zihan does not have a broker or a company at present. He is independent.

Aunt drama has the advantages of aunt drama. It’s quick to take money, and his private life is not disturbed. He can take a holiday if he has nothing to do. 

He really can’t take on two more plays. Anyway, it’s next door. There are so many directors coming and going. They are familiar with him. They will always give him a job. After all, Mei Zihan’s performance is pretty good.

There will always be roles suitable for young people in the drama of aunt, and the young people must be good-looking and pleasing to their mothers. But it’s hard to find such an actor.

Those students who have been trained in science and technology are busy finding companies and Star Studios for themselves before they graduate. They can’t even go to act in online dramas. How can they have a better future than this kind of dramas? In the past, the cast managed to find a young fresh meat actor who had just graduated to act as the second boy. When the contract was just to be signed, they fled to act in an idol drama. At last, they went to find Mei Zihan to help them.

At least, directors love to use Mei Zihan. He is young and suitable. His acting skills are not bad. His face is pleasant and his pay is not high. That’s him!

Before meeting Jiang Ying, Mei Zihan liked this working state very much.

Perform a play, and not even in a month or two, you could get from one hundred to two hundred thousand yuan. It doesn’t need to be a cut. It’s much better than those who are just all talk.

He just saved enough money a few days ago to get a down payment for a high-end apartment. When he is a few years older, goes through more vicissitudes of life, and improves his acting skills, he will be the “handsome middle-aged uncle” actor that many troupes want!

Now, there are too few such actors. Those actors who should have acted as uncles and elders are still playing the role of young master, even red flowers have to suit green leaves. Mei Zihan, with such a mentality, is a salt fish.

(TLN: By ‘salted fish’ or ‘咸鱼’ it’s used to describe people don’t want to do anything and don’t want to move. In this context I think it means that Mei Zihan doesn’t want to improve or doesn’t have a concise goal)

(TLN: By ‘even red flowers have to suit green leaves’ or ‘红花也得绿叶配’ the idiom means that even though red and green are contrasting colours (opposite each other on the colour wheel) they are still compatible. The red flowers need the green leaves to support. I’ve translated a Link that seems to make the most sense but I’ll also leave some more.)
