[233. Fall in love again]

When Cheng Qingxing heard this, his hands that were cleaning the stove suddenly stopped.

She bent her fingers slightly, took a deep breath as she looked at him, then smiled and said, "What do you mean? Is it appropriate to invite him?"

He did not forbid Yan Shenghui from participating in the show, he just felt that Yan Shenghui's image was not suitable.

"He's a planned flying guest, not a permanent one." Bai Zhian added, then walked out slowly.

Li Mingle, who was standing by, immediately added: "I didn't know you two had this relationship at that time. The production crew..."

"As for the flying guest, I just feel that he is not suitable." Cheng Qingxing said softly, sat there and started drinking.

To be honest, he didn't really care about Yan Shenghui participating in the show. He could accept it even if he was a permanent guest.

After all, he is here to make money, so it’s okay for the program crew to arrange it however they want. What’s more, he is just a flying guest and we can only see him in one episode, so there is no problem at all.

"That means he can accept it." Bai Zhian said with a smile, then looked at Li Mingle on the side, "I told you, he won't care. Look how worried you are."

When Li Mingle heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He started to eat the food cooked by Cheng Qingxing.

He just took a bite of the beef and subconsciously let out a sigh.

"What are you calling me?" Bai Zhian gave him a look of disdain, "You have to endure it even if it doesn't taste good."

"No! It's super delicious!" Li Mingle had an expression of disbelief on his face, and then picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs next to it and started eating.

It's sour and sweet, and the meat is just the right amount, not dry at all. The cooking skills are definitely at the chef level!

"Teacher Cheng is good at cooking." Li Mingle sighed.

Cheng Qingxing felt that he was exaggerating a bit. He took a bite himself and found it was actually quite good, not as exaggerated as he said.

But his craftsmanship is indeed good, and Zheng Xuhe often praises himself.

"He is indeed good at cooking." Bai Zhian echoed, "For his partner, he learned to cook well—"

With a "bang", Bai Zhian's stool was kicked directly. Without finishing her words, she rolled off the table.

Bai Zhian sat on the ground, looking at him with a gloomy face, and then raised her middle finger at him, "I told you, don't kick my stool when you eat! You will choke! If you choke to death, who will write the script for you!"

"Isn't there a replacement?" Cheng Qingxing pointed at Li Mingle and said coldly, "I asked you to revise the script of "The Kite's String". How is your revision going?"

"Oh, I don't have time~" Bai Zhian got up from the ground and continued to sit in the same position, then said with a smile, "But I asked Li Mingle to help me write it."

Cheng Qingxing was not too surprised. Bai Zhian must have had her reasons for bringing Li Mingle here, and this was probably the reason.

He asked Bai Zhian to come for dinner, one reason was because he was going to move house later and wanted her to come and help him finish some food, and the other reason was because of the script.

Bai Xiyuan must be anxious. It has been half a month and a version has been produced.

"So how far have you written it?" Cheng Qingxing looked directly at Li Mingle, "Student Li Mingle, you should answer me about this, right?"

"Well, I've already written a version," Li Mingle said, holding a piece of pork chop in his mouth, then went to the sofa, took out a folder from his bag, and handed it to him.

"There is also a second edition, but I feel that the first edition may be more suitable. However, I don't know what your preference is, whether you prefer something more literary or more commercial. If you prefer something more commercial, then you need to read the second edition."

Cheng Qingxing couldn't believe it. He took the document from his hand and put it aside. "Eat first, we'll look at it later."

"Okay." Li Mingle continued to chew the meat and took a sip of strawberry juice. "But this story is really cliché. No matter how I change it, it won't exceed expectations."

Hearing this, Cheng Qingxing smiled instantly.

Li Mingle thought he had said something wrong and quickly explained: "I'm not saying this story is bad, it's just that he is a little too... too..."

He couldn't find an adjective for the moment, so he kept saying "too" for a long time without saying anything else.

"Too cliché, too romantic, too lifeless." Bai Zhian took over his words, then took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, looked at Li Mingle and asked, "Don't recommend it, right?"

Li Mingle shook his head. He also smoked, but he usually didn't smoke in situations like this.

Those who work behind the scenes are basically smokers. If they don't smoke, they will feel uncomfortable.

"I have no objection, but Teacher Cheng——"

Li Mingle looked at Cheng Qingxing. In his stereotype, Cheng Qingxing should be the kind of person who doesn't smoke.

"He's fine, he smokes it himself." Bai Zhian had already picked up the lighter and started smoking, "I'm telling you the truth, this story is too vulgar no matter how you tell it, it's just to cheat the money of those young girls who haven't eaten bran before."

"I know, but it's too late." Cheng Qingxing ate beef and said with a smile, "Party A has already drafted the theme. It's useless for you to dislike it. You can only make it perfect."

"It's all done to be perfect." Bai Zhian waved her hand in disdain.

She really didn't like this kind of sentimental and clichéd script, so after Cheng Qingxing told her about it, she directly refused and said that she didn't want to make any changes.

Bai Zhian knows the film market and stories very well. In her opinion, this story is rubbish and taking it will only ruin her reputation.

But Cheng Qingxing offered a very high price. After thinking it over, she decided to let Li Mingle take the job and just make a small profit from the difference.

"It's indeed a cliché love story, but all love stories in this world are cliché." Li Mingle denied Bai Zhian's words, "Love is about separation and reunion. The Kite's String is actually very suitable for this theme. Even if it is cliché, you can find different shining points in the cliché."

Bai Zhian was not angry at his words, but looked at him with her chin propped up, grabbed his chin teasingly and asked: "So our classmate Li, how is your writing going?"

"In the story I wrote, someone was betrayed spiritually. When they returned to the mountains, they were no longer the same people they had been before. The world outside was too beautiful. The hero had someone else in his heart, but the surrounding environment made him stay where he was."

Li Mingle briefly told his story, then looked at Cheng Qingxing and said with a smile, "In the end, he fell in love with the heroine again."
