those years when i was a superstar

The news of Cao Kun's return to China instantly swept through the reports of major media networks.As the only son of entertainment tycoon Cao Jinshan, he was sent abroad six years ago when Cao Jinshan officially announced he would inherit the Cao Film and Television Group.After six years, Cao Kun finally returned to China.

Cao Jinshan's ravine face showed a gratified smile after seeing Cao Kun's figure.

Cao Kun's appearance is much more mature than six years ago, with a mustache growing on his angular face, his skin is much darker, and he looks a little more masculine.

When Cao Jinshan reached the age of retirement, the huge family business was waiting for Cao Kun to inherit it.

Xie Baoqi watched the news reports while basking in the sun.Cao Kun is back, and Zheng Si may be back too.

Xiaomei's phone call suddenly came.

"Xie Baoqi, where are you?"

"I'm at home." Xie Baoqi felt sleepy and couldn't help yawning.The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright, and he sat lazily on a small stool basking in the sun, and suddenly felt like he was falling asleep.

"I asked where is your home?" Xiaomei couldn't help but rolled her eyes, Xie Baoqi could feel Xiaomei's dislike through the phone.

"Why do you ask this?" Xie Baoqi yawned again.Since he left City C, Xiaomei hasn't visited his new home.What is this sudden question about his address?

"Cough." Xiaomei coughed lightly, and she whispered, "Brother Si is back."

"Beep beep..." Xie Baoqi hung up the phone abruptly, his heart was beating suddenly.

Xiaomei looked at the phone in surprise.Xie Baoqi dared to hang up her phone!Xiaomei called Xie Baoqi again angrily: "Xie Baoqi, what do you mean! How dare you hang up my phone!"

Xie Baoqi took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Xiaomei, you must not tell Brother Si about me."

"Why." Xiaomei frowned and looked at the others.Zheng Si adjusted his glasses, his amber eyes were quietly watching Xiaomei.

"I, I, I." Xie Baoqi said intermittently: "I don't care, you just don't say it!" After speaking, Xie Baoqi hung up the phone again.

Xie Baoqi looked at the phone with lingering fear.Obviously he had sealed Zheng Si in the deepest place of his heart, he didn't dare to remember this name easily, he didn't want to experience another thrilling experience.

In the past five years, Xie Baoqi has adapted to a peaceful and comfortable life...some things, some people are still suitable to be buried.

"What did he say?" Zheng Si held his chin and looked at Xiaomei quietly.

Xiaomei laughed with embarrassment, and she said helplessly: "Xie Baoqi hangs up my phone."

Zheng Si was silent for a while, and then he asked gently: "Xie Baoqi, is he in City A now?"

Xiaomei nodded silently.

"He doesn't want to show up, so I'll go find him." After finishing speaking, Zheng Si got up from the sofa and walked out of Xiaomei's office with long legs.

The days after the retired star...

Xie Baoqi suppressed his beating heart and silently put the phone aside.Today's sun was exceptionally bright, he raised his head to look at the dazzling lifting eyes, and his eyes couldn't help squinting.

Then, he sighed softly.

The noise of children came from outside the balcony.Xie Baoqi stood up abruptly and looked out.Three children dressed in soy sauce and just learning to make soy sauce are jumping up and down in front of the small flower bed of Xie Baoqi's house.

Xie Baoqi glared at them and waved his hands, shouting: "You three are wreaking havoc again! Go home! Go home!"

The three children looked at Xie Baoqi with a smile, and stepped on his little flower bed even more recklessly.Xie Baoqi yelled again, the little yellow flower he just planted was about to be trampled again.

He ran downstairs in a hurry, at this moment, a piercing female scream came from upstairs.Xie Baoqi frowned and looked up, he gritted his teeth and gave up on the cute little Huang Huamiao, then hurried upstairs.

The upstairs door was unlocked, Xie Baoqi walked in suspiciously.At this time, a wet woman with only a bath towel rushed out of the house.

Xie Baoqi hurriedly turned his face away: "Sister Lin, what are you doing here?"

The elder sister Lin that Xie Baoqi said was the woman in front of him.She grabbed Xie Baoqi into the bathroom anxiously.

"Master Landlord." Lin Rui pointed at the water heater in the bathroom angrily, and said fiercely, "Look, this water heater is broken again! You can't just use this bad thing for me just to save some money."

Xie Baoqi breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the matter...

"Change, change, I'll change later." Seeing Lin Rui's distressed appearance, Xie Baoqi hurriedly responded.

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying and crying of children.Xie Baoqi oops and ran downstairs again.

Downstairs, the three children suddenly scattered and fled.A woman rushed out from the room on the first floor with a broom in her hand, grabbing one of the children and beating her non-stop.

Xie Baoqi hurried over: "Sister Chen, don't hit the child." The child in Sister Chen's hand was crying non-stop, and the ear-piercing cry resounded through the sky in the quiet street.

Seeing Xie Baoqi rushing out to protect him, the child cried even more.

"Sister Chen." Xie Baoqi snatched the broom in Sister Chen's hand with all his strength, and said earnestly: "Sister Chen, children have to be taught, why do you beat them at every turn?"

Sister Chen's accent has a Northeast flavor, which seems a bit abrupt in the southern city: "Landlord, this damn child really won't listen to me, even if I tell him not to step on the flower beds."

Xie Baoqi looked helplessly at the ruined little flower bed, feeling a pain in his heart, he also persuaded with a smile: "It's just a flower bed, step on it if you step on it, you won't hit a child."

The bear child on a plate nodded sharply, with no tears on his face.Obviously just pretending to cry.

"Landlord, I'm really sorry. This dead child just doesn't listen to persuasion. I'll clean up your little flower bed for you later."

"It's all right." Xie Baoqi reluctantly pretended to be nonchalant.Since he opened up this little flower bed, he has never seen it better.

Xie Baoqi managed to persuade Sister Chen to go inside the house with all his talk, and her children ran to play in the sand when they saw that there was nothing wrong.Xie Baoqi had just finished solving the matter upstairs, and Lin Rui upstairs complained fiercely to him that the man in the next room always pushed the garbage to her door.

Reluctantly, Xie Baoqi went to photograph the boredom of another house.

After leaving City C, Xie Baoqi returned to City A to buy an old house with the money in his small treasury, and became a leisurely landlord.It's a pity that this landlord is not as comfortable as he imagined. He is busy with the trivial matters upstairs and downstairs every day.

Speaking of which, the life of this outdated male star is really a bit depressing.Xie Baoqi was busy walking around in front of the tenants every day, but no one recognized his identity.As time passed, Xie Baoqi almost forgot that he had ever been in the entertainment circle.Only occasionally, when Boss Wang's son came to him, he would call him "big star".

"Big star!" Wang Yanyuan stood at the door of Xie Baoqi with a big bag of food and said with a smile, "Open the door soon."

"You're finally here." Xie Baoqi opened the door impatiently.

"Why are you so excited today?" Wang Yanyuan walked into Xie Baoqi's room with a smile. He walked to the kitchen familiarly and rolled up his sleeves to prepare for cooking.

Xie Baoqi also followed in a hurry, and he said with a smile: "I'm rich, and I want to have a good meal." Then, he set Wang Yanyuan's kitchen and prepared to do it himself: "Yanyuan, just sit down, If you are a guest, I will cook this meal."

"Okay, okay." Wang Yanyuan joked with a smile: "With your little rent, what money can you have. Don't tell me you're going to gamble?"

"Hey~" Xie Baoqi said with a subtle smile, "Don't worry about it, I'm rich anyway. Supper at night is mine!"

"You haven't finished dinner yet, and you're thinking about supper? You really think I don't have to go to work tomorrow."

"Then come over tomorrow night, and I'll treat you to a good meal."

Wang Yanyuan agreed, and seeing Xie Baoqi busy in the kitchen with his sleeves rolled up and an apron on, he felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

Boss Wang’s noodle shop has long since ceased operation, because he is old and in poor health.Originally, Xie Baoqi wanted to order Boss Wang's noodle shop to do it, but after thinking about how busy it would be to be a noodle shop, it would be better to be a landlord who has nothing to do.

Now he is free to raise flowers (although he can’t raise a living), basks in the sun when he is bored, collects rent when he is short of money, and sometimes invites Wang Yanyuan to have a hot pot together, not to mention how comfortable he is.

After dinner, Wang Yanyuan helped clean up the dishes before leaving.After he left, Xie Baoqi was the only one left in the empty house.

The noise of the young couple upstairs leaked in from the window, making the empty room a little more popular.

Lin Rui suddenly knocked on Xie Baoqi's door.The electric light in her house was broken, so Xie Baoqi had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and go upstairs to work as a repairman.

Xie Baoqi seldom contacts people from the past, even Wang Li and Lin Long may not have heard from him for a long time.He is used to the leisure life of doing nothing, basking in the sun every day and raising small flowers, he is simply retirement in advance.The only friend I still have contact with now is Boss Wang's son, Wang Yanyuan.

Today's Xie Baoqi loves to plant flowers in front of the house in loose clothes and thick black-rimmed glasses.

Lin Rui raised her head and said to Xie Baoqi, who was repairing and lighting the lamp, "Landlord, why do you always see you staying in the room. Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Xie Baoqi laughed and said, "I don't have anything serious to do at ordinary times. Where can I stay if I don't stay in the house?"

Lin Rui was taken aback, she looked at Xie Baoqi who was wearing beige pajamas, his pajamas were hanging loosely on his body, Xie Baoqi's figure was a little thin.He didn't wear thick black-rimmed glasses tonight, and his fair and delicate face looked very clean and comfortable.

"Landlord, what line of work did you do before?" Lin Rui asked with a smile.

"Me?" Xie Baoqi thought for a while and said, "The food delivery."
