Comrade: Almost a Cat-astrophic Love Story

Mini top party?

Crap!

Pei Zhen was rather gloomy.

One would’ve thought that it was a happy occasion being recognized publicly as the top party. However, the use of the prefix ‘mini’ was quite damaging!

“I’m a hundred and eighty… no, almost a hundred and eighty-three centimeters!” Swiping through Weibo, Pei Zhen couldn’t help feeling resentful. “Mini? Who’s mini now!”

“Okay, stop fighting it.” Xiao Nian threw a blanket over Pei Zhen. “Go to sleep, Daddy. You haven’t been napping much lately.”

“I’m not going to nap.” Daddy Pei threw the blanket aside and said with much righteous and principled anger, “Stop getting in the way of my anger.”

Xiao Nian immediately kept quiet.

The power of love was great. It would cause people to fall into indulgence, and even change a person’s daily habits!

It wasn’t until Pei Zhen had gone through pages of comments that the mini-van finally arrived at the television broadcast station.

Pei Zhen hadn’t gone silent for long, and he was already in great demand again. The moment he got off the mini-van, reporters swamped around him, looking at him eagerly.

“Pei Pei, we heard that your parents and Fu Sichen’s parents have met.”

“Pei Pei, have you known Fu Sichen for a long time? It seems that you graduated from the same high school.”

“Pei Zhen, did your mother get drunk because she was upset and didn’t want to accept the situation?”

Pei Zhen wanted to retaliate that they knew nothing and that they should stop imagining that this whole situation was a tragedy. Their parents had never tried to be in the way of their relationship! His mother was drunk because she was happy!

“Apologies, apologies. Pei Pei is in a hurry.” Xiao Nian was a discerning man, and with the help of the bodyguards, they managed to dodge the nosey reporters. “If there is time later, we will answer all your questions.”

The entourage shielded Pei Zhen as he entered the building. The paparazzi were quite disappointed and wished they could seize the man and get him to answer all their eight hundred questions.

Pei Zhen arrived ten minutes early so that he didn’t appear too eager nor look too arrogant. After a short meeting with the Director, they started the filming.

The theme of the public announcement was to protect stray animals.

“We hear that you’ve always been a supporter of the Animal Aid Shelter?” The Director had a good impression of Pei Zhen, and hence he naturally had a friendly smile when he was going through the script with Pei Zhen. “It’s very precious, really.”

Pei Zhen was interacting with the animals brought onto the show. He laughed, but his words were quite presumptuous. “After the filming of the public announcement, you have to disseminate it widely, and I’d like this to be made known to everyone.”

“Hey, Pei Pei.” Xiao Nian, who was standing by the side, was shocked and glared at Pei Zhen. He quickly explained to the equally stunned Director with a smile. “Pei Pei, he…”

“Indeed true to the rumors, arrogant and full of himself.” Although the Director was stunned, he, however, took it in his stride and said, “Fortunately my daughter forewarned me. I know, youngsters call this behavior ‘proud coddle’.”

What? Proud coddle? Excuse me?! Pei Zhen thought. Why does it seem that the terms used to describe me lately sound so weak?!

“Right, right, right.” Xiao Nian took advantage of the opportunity to continue, saying, “Pei Zhen’s intention and hope are to have the public service announcement get more exposure so that the idea of protecting animals will better take root in people’s consciousness.”

The Director looked deep in thought and glanced at Xiao Nian with a profound expression. In his heart, he was, of course, aligned with the Station Director’s point of view.

Pei Zhen was a good actor, and even though his manager Xiao Nian looked like a pushover, in reality, he was quite astute.

Just look, with a few words, he was able to raise the level of thinking of his artiste to another level, and because of that, managed to maximizer the artiste’s exposure.

Once he was able to establish communication with the fine actor, filming could progress quite easily. While working with animals wasn’t a task that one would expect to be easy, Pei Zhen seemed to possess an innate ability to get the animals to cooperate.
