7 min read1,675 words

More than 70 million Weibo fans of Wu Qianyi pushed Gu Caocao to the fire (popular), but unfortunately the scenario didn’t go as Pei Xian thought.

The attention of the fans was all on the flourishing beautiful wool and the Carslan [1] big eyes of Gu Caocao, bringing up the topic of the most beautiful alpaca in a hundred years.

There were also many pet Big Vs [2] forwarded attention and tactile acute pet supplies manufacturers sent advertising invitations.

The explosive [3] Gu had won more than 2 million fans in a week with the number of interactive as high as 700k. It had also rapidly broken through the 100k mark of Baidu Index. However, it failed to escape the fate of teasing and only exploded in the sheep pen, surrounded by pet topics. It was far from Pei Xian’s imagination of upper-class women, young ladies of note and fashion circles.

Pei Xian watched the continuous messages on Gu Caocao’s Weibo. Caocao is really beautiful; Caocao is so adorable; flourishing beautiful camelid; Daniel Wu [4] within camelids; really wants to watch Caocao’s show on TV; begging for the secret of Caocao’s beauty…

Too much of buttering up the camelid! Pei Xian’s hand scratched at the bedsheet. Don’t you find that it is wearing 200k worth of necklace? Don’t you see it running in the super villa? Don’t you know if the vest it wears is F, K, and all kinds of super brands?

Even to an alpaca, you superficial people only want to look at its appearance, why can’t you be even more superficial and look at how rich our family’s Caocao is?

Would you please praise that it is a big shot rich camelid? Oh, I’m so angry!

Pei Xian’s first plan to show off his wealth failed, over!

However, he was confident because the Alpaca Cafe in Haiguang Street was being renovated, but when it was done, Gu Caocao would be the first beautiful alpaca with 10 million of assets.

As for why the need to make life difficult for Xiao Yuhang, Pei Xian counted his fingers as he justified himself.

First of all, he couldn’t fail Madam Gu’s entrustment to remove ill fortune (Xiao Yuhang) after taking her money. Secondly, Xiao Yuhang in the original book seemed to only spend crazily on Gu Han’s money. In fact, every unreasonable request of Xiao Yuhang foreshadowed Gu Han’s defeat in the future, which could be called a walking bearer of ill luck!

Pei Xian resigned himself of not being able to do anything to the mad dog Zhou Kai, but he still had a little bit of strength to be pulling hair with Xiao Yuhang. With the thought that there was a possibility he might failed, Mister Gu would chase him out like rubbish and he was unsure if Mister Gu would have turn for the better on his road to bankruptcy.

However, he was just a little substitute. Gu Han didn’t want him to appear in the public, so he could only trouble the big star Xiao to quietly find out this secret.

From the original book’s point of view, Xiao Yuhang was the flower of frozen earth on the snowcapped mountain, which meant he would never be wronged or shared the favoritism he got with others. Pei Xian remembered that Gu Han had helped his friend’s girlfriend to win a talent show and Xiao Yuhang almost asked him to break up. Gu Han then [dog]lapped him for half a year before he could recover his crystal heart.

If Xiao Yuhang knew that Gu Han not only lived with the substitute, but also spent a lot of money on the alpaca raised by the substitute, hehehe, they must break up and whoever didn’t want to break up was the dog!

After the “plan to overthrow the princess and save the ugly dragon” was drawn up, Pei Xian suddenly felt like he was a jealous Imperial Concubine in the cold palace, who tried to frame the beloved Imperial Concubine Qian[money] by any means and tried to replace her, and that…. seemed a little shameless.

When he pondered about it carefully, Pei Xian thought that he lost the battle at the beginning was because the wrapping team couldn’t do it. This could blame on Secretary Ke.

Secretary Ke joyfully celebrated the end of his career as a wonderful alpaca agent with eagerness and zest.

Gu Han had eaten the classic dishes of the extinct Emei School’s dining hall and was ready for the live broadcast of upside down having diarrhea. Unexpectedly, nothing happened in the end.

The steel stomach and iron intestines Boss Gu called the whole family to hold a meeting to officially ban Pei Xian. The yellow and black nuclear weapon sign “Pei Xian and Gu Caocao are forbidden to enter” was hung at the kitchen door, which set his mind at ease to visit the retirement real estate site the next day.

In the middle of the day far away in K City, Gu Han escaped from social intercourse and hid in the hotel to call room service to have lunch with Pei Xian via video call from thousands of miles away.

Nowadays, he was very jealous of Gu Caocao. Every time he saw the big white alpaca sticking up its fat ass as it occupied the big bed to sleep with the little quail head to head, he wanted to secretly steam Gu Caocao in clear soup!

Laden with anxiety, Pei Xian bit the spoon as he talked with Gu Han. He didn’t glance at the TV at all.

The TV was broadcasting a red carpet visit to Wu Qianyi at Film Festival. The Entertainment interviewer asked: “I heard that Qianyi Studio is going to recruit new people? I wonder if you can disclose the signing standard?”

Wu Qianyi was dressed in a tailored high style D’s sponsored evening gown, her hair bundled into a ball with few loose hairs floating, and a ten carats of pear shaped pink diamond on her jade hand that made the dog’s eyes blinded.

She opened her lips lightly. “There is only one standard, which is being out of the ordinary beautiful, so beautiful that it can tug at one’s heartstrings and distort one’s minds.”

Behind the isolation bar, the fans responded crazily, “Baby Qianyi, look at me! Am I beautiful?”

Pei Xian was a little distracted as he sipped the soup and suddenly, he got a good idea. He picked up the IAD in one hand and dragged over Gu Caocao’s head with the other hand.

“Is it beautiful?” He absent-mindedly asked to the screen.

The big white head of Gu caocao suddenly appeared, making Gu Han shook his hands and sprinkled the soup all over his body. “Beautiful. When I bought it, the owner said it is one in a million beautiful little alpaca.”

“Mister Gu, I believe in your aesthetics.” Pei Xian nodded firmly before he hung up the connection and didn’t even give Boss Gu a chance to say goodbye.

He quickly logged in to Wu Qianyi’s studio to download the artist application form and filled it, neat and quick. Suddenly, he found that the last round of on-site interview was this afternoon. He didn’t know which day the interview broadcast on the TV was on.

Pei Xian hastily changed his clothes and combed Gu Caocao’s hair. Then, he hurriedly called the driver to go to the interview site.

Wu Qianyi’s work (acting) was third class, her being the subject of a talk was second class, her face was first class and she was an exotic flower with top-ranking family background which made people love and hate that her fans were evenly matched the sunspots [5] . She could be called a walking flow packet [6] .

Meanwhile, what she wore, ate, used and played without exception would become the upper class’s popular products, thus she was the most favorite female star for all famous brands.

Gu Caocao needed to have one tenth of her qualities, so it could kick this trash Xiao Yuhang flying.

Wu Qianyi’s studio was utterly pretentious. It was located in the green and beautiful embassy area, an old-fashioned and mottled villa owned by her.

Pei Xian arrived at the door very early but many people had already lined up. The staffs were handing out the numbers.

For the sake of Gu Caocao’s comfortableness, they had to ride in the bulky Cullinan.

The huge headlights of the tank-like solid, majestic black SUV stopped in front of the white and beautiful building that had a sense of fragmentation across time and space.

The driver trotted over to help Pei Xian out and took Gu Caocao down before going to find the parking space.

Pei Xian led Gu Caocao to the end of the line and it caused a commotion.

He was a beauty in his own right, wearing a Scottish style hand-made casual suit and a dusty blue navy-collar thin windbreaker, made him seemed charming and elegant. Accompanied by a white alpaca bloated with pride, he looked like a little prince in a fairy tale.

A staff in a pink suit suddenly went to the front of the line, took back the number one card and went directly to Pei Xian, “Honey, let me see your application form.”

The man’s manner was coquettish with quite a high effeminate aura. Pei Xian held the number card, raised his head and handed the application form to him.

“Gu Caocao… em…” He just glanced and the corner his eyebrow jerked slightly. What a vulgar name!

Just like that, Pei Xian successfully skipped the line and entered the interview site in advance.
