Chapter 117 Do you think I'm stupid

? "You, you, what are you doing?"

Li Yitong turned around in a panic, and her crescent eyes turned into a "full moon".

"I'll help you tie it." Meng Bai grabbed two ribbons and said naturally, "Why don't you do it yourself?"

"Help me tie it!" Li Yitong said hurriedly, and then found a lame excuse: "My hands are all greasy, it's inconvenient." It

was very convenient to operate from the front. Meng Bai tied the ribbon in two or three strokes, and tidied the corners of the apron.

After standing up and observing for a while, Meng Bai said to her again: "Raise your hand."

Li Yitong's thinking ability had not recovered at this time, and she raised her hand obediently after hearing that. Meng Bai stepped forward and got in front of her, grabbed her hand, and helped her roll up the sleeves of her clothes little by little.

Maybe it's because of years of typing and writing scripts, although Meng Bai's hands are also fair and slender, there is a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips, which makes the place where he is held feel rough and frictional.

However, this rough feeling is not annoying. On the contrary, feeling the temperature of the palm rising little by little, Li Yitong feels that her already restless heartbeat has accelerated a bit.

Rolling up his sleeves, Meng Bai took a step back and looked at Li Yitong in front of him.

His long hair was tied into a bun at the back of his head, and the apron belt was tied around his waist, revealing his slender waist. Dressed at home, he looks like a cute "little cook".

"Not bad." Meng Bai nodded with a smile and teased, "Boss Li, if you don't shoot movies in the future, we can make some videos or something, and it's totally fine to transform into a food blogger."

"I'm not cooking for others." Li Yitong muttered, suppressing her impetuous emotions, and then pushed Meng Bai away: "Okay, get to work! It took me half an hour to wash these dishes, and you wasted all the time."

After that, she turned back to the stove, covered her chest with her hands and showed a happy expression on her face - what to do, those "seductive" methods taught by her bestie are useless, and she is the one being seduced. It

took Meng Bai less than thirty seconds to help her tie the apron, but he controlled this girl for more than half an hour. During the following cooking, she was always a little absent-minded. She

was deliberately delaying time, and now her hands and feet were even slower. It was not until five o'clock when it was completely dark that the meal came to an end.

"Is it not ready yet, Boss Li?" Meng Bai gnawed half a cucumber, leaned against the kitchen door and asked weakly, "Do you have a deep hatred for this fish? It has been stewed for an entire afternoon and you still haven't gotten rid of your hatred?"

He had dinner at eight or nine last night, and played games with Zhang Ruoyun until after three o'clock before going to bed. It was already afternoon when he woke up. Counting it all, he hadn't eaten for nearly twenty hours.

"That's it! Fish tastes good only when it is stewed for a long time, just like tofu." Li Yitong said as she turned off the fire, and after simmering for a while, she opened the lid of the pot.

In an instant, a delicious fish aroma overflowed from the pot.

"Boss Li, this tastes great!" Meng Bai, who smelled the aroma, immediately became energetic again and gave a thumbs up.

Li Yitong found a large plate from the cupboard, which seemed to be able to hold the fish. Turning back, he grabbed the handle of the pot, exerted force with both hands, and lifted the entire pot tremblingly.

Seeing her staggering, it seemed that she would drop the pot and the fish in the next second. Meng Bai hurried forward: "Be careful, let me do it."

After saying that, he did not take the pot from Li Yitong's hand from the side, but opened his arms and went around her from behind, reaching out to hold her hand.

Unlike the last time, this time he really hugged her.

Li Yitong's breathing stagnated, but fortunately, perhaps because of the immunity she had before, there was no obvious reaction except that her face was a little red and her heartbeat was a little faster.

He served the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. After a busy afternoon, the two finally had this "first meal of the New Year". There

were not many dishes, two cold dishes, three hot dishes and a fish, but it was more than enough for two people.

Meng Bai took the kettle and planned to pour it for the two of them, but Li Yitong stopped him when he saw this, and then ran to the pile of things she brought and rummaged through them, and took two bottles of wine.

"How can we drink water on New Year's Day?" Li Yitong said in a tone that it should be so.

Meng Bai took the bottle and took a look. Wow, 36% brandy, this girl is really brave.

"Are you sure we want to drink this?"

"What are you afraid of? It's a holiday anyway, so let's get drunk." Li Yitong said naturally.

In her impression, Meng Bai never drinks much. In his words, "I can't drink much. If I drink too much, you will have to carry me back."

Even if these are all his excuses, it is estimated that his real alcohol tolerance is not that great. Although she is not much better, the problem is that she wants to get drunk!

Opening the cork and filling the glasses of both of them, Li Yitong picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, wish us peace and happiness in the new year."

"No, girl, at least have a few bites of food first, just drink it straight."

Meng Bai was obviously shocked by her "heroism", but seeing the girl holding the cup and drinking it all in one breath, he sighed and raised the glass and drank it slowly.

"Pah!"

After a glass of wine, two blushes immediately appeared on Li Yitong's face.

Oops, I seem to be a little too arrogant. I have only drunk some red wine before, and I seriously underestimated the alcohol content. Although I plan to get drunk, it would be bad to get too drunk.

Meng Bai saw that her face looked a little unnatural, smiled silently, and said, "Eat some food first, and drink slowly, it's still early."

"Yeah, okay." Li Yitong nodded.

You're right, it's still early, there's no need to rush.

While eating and chatting, Meng Bai turned on the projector and the screen, and casually clicked on a New Year's Eve concert from an unknown satellite TV station.

This kind of thing is the background music of a dinner party, and its main function is to set the atmosphere. Few people will pay too much attention to the specific content.

"Are the courses in the advanced training class stressful?"

"Fortunately, our class hours are not too many. And the teacher's main content is mostly methodological content, which is quite easy to understand."

"That's good, I'll tell you when I see a suitable role. But let me make it clear first, you should audition when you need to. If the director thinks it's not possible, I won't make concessions."

"Don't worry, I will definitely work hard and won't embarrass you."

"By the way, I may set up an agency this year, and you can sign with me then." Meng Bai said.

"Sign a contract." Li Yitong blinked her eyes: "How much is my signing fee?"

"Where can you get the signing fee as a newcomer?" Meng Bai said: "This industry lacks everything, but it doesn't lack new actors. It's already very good that newcomers don't have to pay money when signing with a company."

"There are people who pay money?" Li Yitong said in surprise.

"Of course there are not many people who have average talent, but they have a dream of becoming a star. If their family is rich, they can spend money to let their children debut."

Li Yitong suddenly realized that she had heard of this.

"Then how long does it usually take to sign a contract?"

"It depends on how it is negotiated. However, the contract for newcomers is generally ten to fifteen years, and some may be twenty years." Meng Bai said.

"Fifteen years!" Li Yitong exclaimed, and whispered: "Isn't that equivalent to selling it to you..."

"It's sold to the company, not to me." Meng Bai corrected: "And if you become popular after filming for a few years, you can also terminate the contract. Just remember to pay the penalty for breach of contract."

"Wouldn't that cost a lot of money?"

"It doesn't matter. If you want to terminate the contract at that time, I can lend it to you." Meng Bai said with a smile.

Li Yitong rolled her eyes: "I borrowed your money and then paid you back. Do you think I'm stupid?"
