Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn - CH 56.1

Shen Xingsui looked at Fu Jinxiao innocently and with some doubts.

Fu Jinxiao met this gaze, and sighed helplessly in his heart. After all, his face was wiped clean. His tone seemed to be criticizing, but it was more on the line of pampering, “How old are you? Are you a fragile little lady? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by your fans?”

Shen Xingsui was already ashamed and annoyed, but when he heard him say this, his temper flared and he retorted angrily, “I’m not a crybaby! T-this tears… uhm, it’s because…”

Fu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, “Because of what?”

Shen Xingsui lowered his head, trying to divert his attention with the account book in his hand. But under Fu Jinxiao’s scorching gaze, he squirmed and whispered, “Because I think you’ve worked too hard, so I just…” As he spoke, he felt more and more embarrassed. His voice became softer, until it couldn’t be heard at all.

Fu Jinxiao looked at the honest boy in front of him. With a wolfish grin, he teased, “So you love me?”

He spelled it out loud for the youth.

Shen Xingsui was a bit miffed that his feelings were now out in the open, but he was very happy to be understood, so he nodded lightly.

Fu Jinxiao sat down opposite him, and glanced at the young man whose skin was sunburned and red, while his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat. Today’s sunlight was rather harsh.

Normally, Shen Xingsui had a good posture – mostly as a leftover of his upbringing in the rich Jian family – but today, he was too tired to keep it up. He slouched, and it only made him look smaller.

“Why don’t you feel sorry for yourself?” Fu Jinxiao poured a glass of water and handed it to him, “The task assigned to us isn’t that hard, but because the weather is rather bad, it’s not good for your body. I’ll ask the crew to give us extra sunscreen later. Also, don’t forget to check up with a doctor to treat your sunburn, or else it will be painful.”

Shen Xingsui was still muddle-headed, “Huh? Uhm, sorry?”

Fu Jinxiao went back to the chair and sat down, opened the meal Shen Xingsui brought over, and said in a slow manner, “Nothing. It’s just, I’m so tired right now. Plus, I’m confused as to how to make you realize how hard you’re being on yourself. Thankfully, this teacher of yours isn’t a crybaby, otherwise, I would already cry when I see how you never felt sorry for yourself.”

The actor said this humorously, his tone was full of teasing. This made Shen Xingsui chuckle and laugh, lifting up the atmosphere.

But with an uncontrollable grin on his face, Shen Xingsui was finally hit with a realization. What does Actor Fu mean, when he said that “Shen Xingsui never felt sorry for himself”?

Was this how Fu Jinxiao perceived him?

Was this true?

Maybe it was just Actor Fu talking casually, just as an example.

Shen Xingsui was so overwhelmed that he couldn’t think of an answer. However, it was different with the live broadcast audience. Sometimes, outsiders looking in really could grasp everything clearly.

[I see it now!]

[Ah, Suisui indeed always prioritizes others more.]

[The most pitiful thing is that no one prioritize him as number one.]

[Incorrect, Fu-ge clearly cares about him!]

[Wuwuwuwuwuwuwu quickly lock this pair up!!]

As the morning passed, many people got the news that there were idols selling fruits in the farmer’s market here. Some of them were fans, and they had relatively strong economic capabilities..

Before the lunch break had passed, a young lady in yellow came to the stall and said, “Boss, how much is this fruit?”

Shen Xingsui hurriedly walked over to tell the price.

The young lady in yellow clothes was generous, “It’s okay, you can give me ten catties11 catty = ~600 gram for everything!”

Shen Xingsui was shocked, “Although I am very grateful for your support for our business, are you okay buying this much?”

The little girl in yellow looked shyly at Fu Jinxiao at the back, “It’s okay, you don’t have to worry about it. If you really want to thank me, why don’t you just find a way to give me something extra? Maybe a gift?”

Because they heard the rules of the program group, transactions made because of wanting to support the celebrity wasn’t allowed. It’s not easy to directly ask for a photo together. Fu Jinxiao’s fans were on the mature and sensible side, so they knew they had to indirectly ask for extra benefits.

Shen Xingsui fell into deep thought, thinking about what could be a gift, “Then I, then we…”

Just as he was hesitating, Fu Jinxiao’s voice came from behind him. He looked kind and generous, “You want to give this young lady a gift, yes?”

Shen Xingsui turned around then nodded at the question.

Fu Jinxiao said, “Let Shen Xingchen and Li Xu’an come back and help you pack the fruit together. I’ll handle this.”

Shen Xingsui didn’t ask him where Fu Jinxiao was going, but only gave him unconditional trust. After answering, he sent a message to Shen Xingchen, and then start helping customers pick fruit together.

After a while, Fu Jinxiao left and returned.

In Actor Fu’s hand was a pen, inkwell, paper, and inkstone brought from a canteen not far away, spread out on the table behind him. Skillfully, he grinded the inkstone, staining his fingers with specks of black. After the ink was poured into the inkwell, he dipped the pen inside, then started writing on the rice paper. He had powerful strokes, reflecting his noble dignity and charm. On the paper, the words “all the best” were written on one neat stroke. His movement was beautiful and the calligraphy work was magnificent.

The fans waiting beside him covered her lips excitedly.

After Fu Jinxiao put down the brush, he looked up at her and smiled, “Are you okay with this gift?”

“Yes, yes!” The fans nodded her heads excitedly. She couldn’t hold back her excitement, making her unable to speak steadily, “Really? For me? This is for real?”

Fu Jinxiao nodded politely. With a polite bow, he added, “Thank you for supporting us, thank you for your hard work.”

This was a wordplay.

The first phrase was to thank the fan for buying so many fruits, while the latter phrase was to thank her for coming from so far away into this small town.

The young lady in yellow almost burst into tears, and she was even a little uncertain, making her stumble over her words, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard, me, can I ask, this is really for me?”

Even though the handsome man was wearing rough clothes that were convenient for work, he still looked so eye-catching. He nodded at the young lady, “Really.”

The lady whispered excitedly, attracting many people – including Shen Xingsui’s – attention.

Shen Xingsui saw Fu Jinxiao’s calligraphy work for the first time, and asked his older brother, “Teacher Fu’s handwriting is really good?”

“Well, it’s only natural. The Fu family is a well-known scholar family, and his father is a calligrapher to boot. He has been influenced since he was a child. You know, the latest work of the Fu patriarch was sold for 80 million in an auction. He’s that good.” Shen Xingchen explained in a low whisper. Then, he continued to speak in a louder voice, “Fu-ge himself doesn’t write very often. He doesn’t really have an actual calligraphy piece, per se. But two years ago, a pair of his handwritten words was put up for auction, and the final transaction price was 30 million.”

Shen Xingsui’s eyes widened, and his mouth gaped in shock.

He finally understood why that fan was so excited. Compared to buying dozens of catties of fruit, getting Fu Jinxiao’s calligraphy work was much more beneficial! It should be enough to make a person rich in one night, no exaggeration.

The audience in the live broadcast room was also excited:

[Why didn’t such a good thing happen to me.]

[Taohuawu Town right? I will go there tomorrow.]

[Does this sister saved the galaxy in her last life? She’s so lucky…]

There were still a lot of fruits on the table. But after this young lady’s massive purchase, the number went down significantly. On top of that, there was still a long queue behind, some people even lined up from a long time ago, even under the scorching sun.

Li Xu’an had a suggestion. “I just contacted Instructor Li and Ranran, and they still have a small part of the flowers that are not sold out.”

After hearing this, Shen Xingchen also had an idea, “Why don’t we go and buy some of their flowers? Let’s give them to customers who didn’t manage to buy any despite queueing for a long time. Otherwise, if they came up empty-handed, it’ll be too pitiful.”

After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at Fu Jinxiao for approval.

This was the person in charge of the financial power, without his consent, everything was just empty words.

Fu Jinxiao sat at the table to settle the accounts, counting today’s income. “Our fruits are sold at market prices. You two made several mistakes when you wrote down the sales today. I’m positive you forgot to write down a couple of them, so our money and the one written down aren’t the same. With this, you still want to make another expenditure? Can you make sure that we’re making profits now?”

Li Xu’an choked, he made one of the miscalculated accounts.

Shen Xingchen also held back, but still scratched his head unwillingly. He looked at Shen Xingsui again, hoping that with Shen Xingsui’s backing, the actor would change his mind.

Shen Xingsui, who was next to him, looked behind him and found that there were many people queuing up behind them. They must feel really hot. Some people’s backs were soaked after standing for too long. They kept holding their bags to block the sun, waiting very hard.

Shen Xingsui tentatively hesitated and said, “If the remaining flowers from Instructor Li’s side can’t be sold, they will probably be cheaper. If we want to give them away, don’t give them too many. Let’s give them to those who have lined up the longest here. Otherwise, I would be really embarrassed…”

Li Xu’an sighed.

He wanted to say, ‘What’s the use of saying that now? Didn’t you hear what Fu-ge said? He refused, so can your words mean anything in front of him?’

But Li Xu’an had enough EQ to understand that those words were too rude, so he held back. Instead, he wanted to comfort Shen Xingsui, who would inevitably be refused by the actor.

But then, Fu Jinxiao, who was busy correcting the account book, suddenly looked gentle. He nodded at Shen Xingsui’s words, “You are right.”

Li Xu’an: “……………….??”

Fu Jinxiao put down the book, and said slowly, “Then do as you said. We will stay here to keep the stalls clean and organized. You and Xingchen will go to Instructor Li to buy some flowers. Make sure you get a discount price.”

Shen Xingsui smiled, “Really?”

Fu Jinxiao nodded.

Shen Xingchen clenched his fists and jumped excitedly, “Yeah! Then let’s go now!”

Shen Xingsui was also very happy. This pair of brothers were both pure-hearted. Now this matter had been decided, they didn’t procrastinate. They quickly went to the crew to borrow a vehicle, leaving Li Xu’an alone in this mess.

The audience was currently busy laughing their asses off:

[Hahaha! Judging by Li Xu’an expression, he was definitely questioning his life!]

[Fu-ge, are you really okay with this?]

[Once Suisui speaks, Fu-ge immediately agrees!]

[Fu Jinxiao: my child’s proposal makes sense!]

[I laughed until my jaw felt sore.]

Shen Xingsui was negotiating with the director team about borrowing a small tricycle, but the director team didn’t want them to borrow it for free, and offered the condition: “You can borrow this tricycle2This one: . It’s 50 yuan for 30 minutes.”

Shen Xingsui was shocked, “Why is it so expensive?”

Shen Xingchen, who grew up as a young master, didn’t feel it was outrageously expensive. He wanted to scan the QR code to pay.

Shen Xingsui stopped him and said to the director team, “It’s really too expensive. I used to ride a shared tricycle for 4 yuan an hour. Why does this electric tricycle cost 50?” The director said earnestly, “Now resources are scarce, we can only give you this price. If you think it’s too expensive, you can ride another one. This one is manual3This one:, and it only costs 10 yuan.”

Shen Xingsui looked to the side and saw the old tricycle.

He wanted to save money, so this was a good offer. Shen Xingsui hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Okay then!”

Shen Xingchen was shocked, and stopped his younger brother, “I don’t know how to ride this kind of tricycle.”

“It’s okay, I know.” Shen Xingsui pulled his older brother to the backseat of the tricycle. He put his feet on the pedals and asked, “Are you seated?”

The young master who always sat behind the luxury car sat on the small bench of the tricycle. The big man shrank aggrievedly. But he still shouted bravely, “I am!”

Shen Xingsui pedaled forward, “Let’s go!”
