Wei Sama, Let’s Stuff Them with Dog Food

79. The Dream University

Translator: Sissy That Walk

It was about sex-related commercials. Qi Le An recalled “softcore porn” remained a problem for Weibo for years ever since it was founded in his last life.

The problem looked severe for Weibo at the moment, for it was still a new platform, and the supervision of the platform was not in place, so it became a hidden heaven for sex-related commercials. All kinds of erotic pictures and advertisements would just emerge in an endless stream, and there were even people who used Weibo to get engaged in prostitution in a flagrant way.

This piece of breaking news had incurred a great calamity for Weibo.

In an instant, Weibo had posted several statements on their platform, the senior leaders in management were even “invited” to the police station to clarify the situation. The entire project was on the verge of collapse, celebrities who showed interest in them all tried to stay away from them overnight.

Qi Le An hesitated.

Weibo was now a basin of dirty water and whoever was related to it would get tainted. However, as a reborn person, Qi Le An knew that Weibo would definitely survive this challenge and establish an empire in no time. It was said that adding brilliance to one’s present splendor would be less appreciated than sending timely assistance. ‘If I support Weibo now, this whole team will definitely have special feelings for my help.’ Thought Qi Le An.

The question was when he should contact Weibo.

“Are you crazy?” When Chen Shan heard Qi Le An’s reply, he almost crawled over the phone and pinched Qi Le An’s neck, “Do you know the trouble that Weibo is in now? Are you going to ruin your future? ”

“Chen Ge! Calm down!” Qi Le An tried his best to comfort Chen Shan, “Listen to me… inhale… exhale… good boy…”

“Take a deep breath my axx!” Chen Shan raised his volume, “I really want to see what’s in your head!”

“Oh, Chen Ge, I’m not saying I want to work with them now, I’m thinking about more like in a few days or so!” Qi Le An got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.

Chen Shan was so angry that he couldn’t do more explanation, “That’s out of the question!” With that he hung up the phone.

Qi Le An put the phone in his pocket and washed his face, he was still determined to work with Weibo but he didn’t want to disappoint his Chen Ge.

‘Chen Ge, how can I come up with a way to convince you…’

After freshening up, Qi Le An sat on the sofa and called Chen Shan.

“Hmph!” Chen Shan answered instantly, it seemed he had been waiting for the call.

Qi Le An took a sip of milk and said, “Chen Ge, are you free today, do you want to come to mine later and have some hotpot?”

The housekeeper usually wouldn’t come over on weekends. Qi Le An figured he better learn to take care of himself as well.

“This hotpot soup base is from Chengdu, Sichuan, you know you love them, Chen Ge!”

When Chen Shan heard that Qi Le An was going to treat him to hotpot, he beamed with smiles and thought this was Qi Le An’s way of saying he was sorry! “Alright, then I’ll head over at noon.”

Qi Le An smiled, he decided to have a face-to-face talk with Chen Shan later. After he put down the phone, Qi Le An turned on the TV and watched some news.

At 11 o’clock, Qi Le An took out the pots and started to do some cleaning in the kitchen. When he was almost done, Chen Shan had arrived with two giant bags of grocery.

Chen Shan had keys to Qi Le An’s apartment. He opened the door and put down the bags, “Hey An, come have a look. Is there anything else you want to eat today? ”

Qi Le An shook his head and said, ” Chen Ge, you shouldn’t have, come sit, I’ll prepare everything today!”

Chen Shan looked at Qi Le An suspiciously, “You’re still thinking about Weibo, aren’t you? I’m telling you now! That’s out of the question! ”

Qi Le An didn’t rush to refute this time. He just smiled and said nothing, he decided to not say a word until they had dinner.

Although Qi Le An said he didn’t need any help from Chen Shan, Chen Shan still came to the kitchen to help fry the hotpot base. The chilli smell was so strong, the two kept sneezing, but the fragrance made it all worth it

After dinner, both of them were in food coma. Chen Shan had two plates of beef all by himself, he couldn’t even pick himself up from the sofa.

“Chen Ge,” Qi Le An put on a fawning smile and said, “Let’s talk.”

Chen Shan didn’t want to argue with Qi Le An when he was so full, so he said, “I don’t want to talk.”

Qi Le An looked at Chen Shan with those puppy dog eyes. Chen Shan looked away and said, “An, don’t even think about it. I won’t compromise anyway.”

“Chen Ge, look, it’s not Weibo’s fault that such a thing happened to them, is it? Someone had found a loophole, which did not mean that the platform was not good.” Qi Le An analyzed, “Chen Ge, I know you are doing this for my own good, but please, I really have faith in them.”

“An, I know this isn’t entirely their fault, but there’s a risk for you to get involved now, do you know how many celebrities have terminated their contract with Weibo now? Do you know what it means to be in this mess now?” Chen Shan frowned.

Qi Le An nodded and said, “Quite possibly people would scold me, but Weibo did not harm people’s interests or did anything unethical. I think they are innocent.”

Chen Shan looked at Qi Le An with disbelief, “Quite possibly people would scold you?”

Qi Le An went on, “Chen Ge, as a matter of fact, I don’t think I will be scolded. Have you seen anyone scolding Weibo now?”

Chen Shan was stunned by that question. He thought about it carefully. The public didn’t have one bad word about, they actually felt sorry that some people took advantage of their platform like this.

Not only that they didn’t side against the platform, but also they were filled with indignation when the platform was shut down temporarily.

Qi Le An saw that Chen Shan was slowly leaning towards him, he felt so encouraged and continued, “The fan base of the platform is very strong. Besides, softcore porn is so common on the internet. Weibo must have been framed this time. They are only required to enhance their supervision system, right? They are not going to shut down forever.”

Chen Shan felt that Qi Le An made sense.

“And I really think highly of this platform. Think about it, Chen Ge. In the future, smart phones will be much popular than computers. And Weibo is doing so great in their app!”

Chen Shan’s parents were both businessmen, and he was naturally sensitive to these things. Chen Shan found himself keep nodding while Qi Le An was talking.

Qi Le An looked at Chen Shan’s expression and said cautiously, “Didn’t you say that Weibo is going to invite more young celebrities to create hype and attract more fans? After this incident, the other celebrities will definitely ditch the platform. I figure can make the best of this opportunity!

Chen Shan was amused. Qi Le An knew he did it on seeing Chen Shan’s smile.

“But my opinion doesn’t count. The company has to agree with you before we can contact Weibo,” Chen Shan didn’t want Qi Le An to get excited over nothing.

“Then I’ll go to the studio tomorrow!” Qi Le An followed up a victory with hot pursuit, “I’ll go talk to Boss Yin!”

Chen Shan agreed.

Qi Le An grinned and raised his chopsticks again, “Haha, round two, come on, Chen Ge!”

Hotpot was like this, you could always have a second round even though you were sure you were stuffed to the max just ten minutes ago.

And just like that the two had one more round!

Qi Le An went to the studio the next morning. Coincidentally, Yin Yan was in the studio for some paperwork because he was flying to Paris to watch fashion week the next day. After hearing Qi Le An’s reason, Yin Yan thought for a moment and said, “If you want to go, go.”

Qi Le An found it too good to be true, he was shocked.

Yin Yan smiled and put the documents into the file bag, saying, “It’s not an endorsement anyway. That’s all right.”

Qi Le An went home in a daze, he had prepared a long speech, but he didn’t have a chance to even recite one paragraph. Chen Shan didn’t expect it would be this easy, he was a bit speechless and he started to call his contacts for Qi Le An.

On Monday morning, Qi Le An went back to school. Mr. Luo handed the report cards to Huang Tian Xiang, Qi Le An’s desk mate. Qi Le An got to see his ranking in the entire class, he ranked 11th among 32 students in the class while Huang Tian Xiang ranked the 4th.

Qi Le An looked at Huang Tian Xiang’s report card with jealousy and decided to work even harder!

Mr. Luo would have an one-on-one talk with every student, he talked to the students on a random order, and somehow it was three days later when it was Qi Le An’s turn.

Qi Le An did terrible in Geography and Chemistry, he made some progress in English, but not a lot.

Mr. Luo looked at Qi Le An’s report card and asked, ” An, are you going to study in China or overseas after you finish high school?”

Qi Le An was stunned for a moment and said, “I’m not planning to go overseas for further education…”

Mr. Luo nodded and asked, “Do you have a dream uni?”

“I haven’t really thought about it, maybe Beijing Film Academy?” Qi Le An was not sure. After all, university was still two years away from him.

Mr. Luo raised his head and handed the report card back to Qi Le An, “Beijing Film Academy sounds great, it’s the best performing school in our country, it sounds perfect for you. Do you know you need to pick your program in the second year of high school? You need to decide whether you want to do Liberal Arts or Science. But because we are an international department, most students have plans to go abroad, so we are doing things a little differently here.”

Qi Le An was so surprised and he asked, “Aren’t we doing Liberal Arts and Science programs?”

Mr. Luo said, “Yes, we are. However, we will be teaching the subjects in English at some classes the second year. There will be three classes that all subjects will be taught in English and two regular classes, you can determine which class you want to go according to your plans for the future.”

Qi Le An didn’t expect that he needed to make a decision like that.

“Of course, there’s still more than half a semester. You still have a lot of time to think about your future plans. I’m not saying that you’re not doing well now, I just want you to have a plan and work on that plan. If you are not planning to study overseas, probably you will be better in Liberal Arts program, but you really need to work on Geography so you can have more chance to be admitted into Beijing Film Academy.”

Qi Le An felt so touched on hearing Mr. Luo’s analysis, ” Thank you so much for your encouraging words, Mr. Luo, I really appreciate it.”

Mr. Luo smiled and said, “You are more than welcome, feel free to come to me anytime.”

Qi Le An couldn’t help but bow and said, “Thank you so much!”

Mr. Luo took a sip of the warm tea and smiled.

The classmates greeted Qi Le An one after another on seeing him entering classroom. Half a semester had passed, Qi Le An and the classmates were on really good terms.

Huang Tian Xiang looked at Qi Le An nervously after Qi Le An returned to his seat, “How did it go? What did Mr. Luo say?”

Qi Le An was touched by how lovely his classmates were, he sighed and asked, “Xiang, what do you want to do in the future?”
