Chapter 063

Xu Jingning looked left and right, confused as to what agreement the two people reached when their eyes met.

But at least Xu Xingcheng calmed down. She glanced at the messages that started bombarding her phone and hurriedly said, "I'll leave Ningning to Teacher Yan for the time being. Xu Jingning, just prepare for the finals now and don't think too much. Leave everything else to me."

Xu Jingning: "Okay, I know everything."

Yan Xun also nodded modestly: "Do you need me to take Miss Xu there?"

"No, it's not far." Xu Xingcheng bit his lip, "You two should be careful, there are probably many reporters waiting around the TV station."

After saying this, Xu Jingning immediately turned to look at Yan Xun.

After his sister left, he couldn't help but ask, "You came so suddenly... Will it delay your work?"

"It won't delay me. I was at Song Han's place just now." Although he was talking about something not so happy, Yan Xun seemed to be in a good mood. "It was just right for me to escape and find you. If she is happy, I am happy too."

Xu Jingning: “…”

It doesn't feel like a good thing.

He quickly changed the topic and urged Yan Xun to hurry up and go to the film and television city for rehearsal.

The gold medal screenwriters invited by the production team were more talented than each other. They managed to come up with a pretty good story based on each person's expected character image.

The theme was specifically established as "The little happiness in daily life", part of which was about career and part of which was about love. When all the guests saw the script for the first time, they were surprised because not only were everyone's wild and imaginative ideas connected together, but they also looked very natural.

A screenwriter said at the time: "Because life is made up of many people together."

Xu Jingning thought it made sense.

The only flaw is that the screenwriter actually believed Ye Zhiliu's words and wrote the flower shop owner and the president of the economic company next door together.

During every rehearsal, Ye Zhiliu would secretly come over to watch them rehearse. His infatuated look on his face always almost made Xu Jingning lose focus.

As revenge, he went to the screenwriter and said, "Why don't we write a love story between Ye Zhiliu and Xiang Yuan? It just so happens that Xiao Ye always likes to come to our place, so she won't be bored."

After the screenwriters discussed it, they found that this would better enrich the characters, so they readily agreed.

As a result, before Ye Zhiliu could feel anything, Xiang Yuan's defense was broken first.

"No! Ningning! You're pushing me into the fire pit!" Xiang Yuan cried with snot and tears, "My legs go weak when I see Ye Zhiliu, and you want me to play a couple with her?"

No matter how stupid she is, Ye Zhiliu's looks are top-notch, especially when she is acting, her aura is so strong that Xiang Yuanyi becomes intimidated when he sees her.

Watching this scene, Xu Jingning continued to remind: "Isn't there a big market for this kind of female A and male O?"

The screenwriter pushed up his glasses and said, "Yes, Xiang Yuan happens to have the appearance of a cute little brother, so he has a lot of fans."

Xiang Yuan: “…”

He just has a superfluous mouth.

During the remaining time, everyone was still very happy rehearsing, and sometimes they would even play jokes with each other after the rehearsal. This kind of collective commitment to rehearsal greatly improved efficiency.

Two days before the final, they were able to go through the entire play without making any mistakes.

Soon, the National Day holiday finally arrived and netizens were all on vacation at home. When the time came, they entered the live broadcast room with great interest, waiting for the finals to begin.

Some of the plots revealed in the first two live rehearsals piqued the interest of netizens. What is known so far is that it is a workplace drama and the actors all use their real names, but these two points are enough to attract the expectations of most people.

The final did not have a host to guide the show like in the previous ones. After the screen was turned on, the drone took everyone to watch the people coming and going in the film and television city. After flying to the modern scenic spot, netizens seemed to have been immersed in the show after a while.

Finally, the drone camera was facing a building. As the picture zoomed in, the audience could see through the glass that it was a meeting room. Then the picture switched to a fixed camera, and the scene inside the meeting room was clearly reflected on the screen.

Chu Xinrou was holding two pieces of materials, pursed her lips and frowned before throwing them on the table: "Who did the design for this issue?"

…

Chen Zi picked up the camera and showed Xin Yao the footage he had taken. He smiled shyly and said, "I hope my creative idea won't be rejected by the boss again this time."

Ye Zhiliu was wearing heavy smoky makeup and holding a bouquet of flowers. She whistled at Xiang Yuan, who looked embarrassed: "Are you still going to help me pack tomorrow?"

Luo Yingying grabbed Ling Shu and walked out. With a dark face, she helped Ling Shu apply medicine to her scraped wrist, saying, "What is wrong is wrong. We can't stand it. If you don't dare, then I'll report it for you."

Weekend Mo and Xie Yinlan sat on opposite sides of the desk, arguing over the details of a contract.

Xing Yu found Xiao Yiheng on the rooftop and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be upset! There are so many girls in the world that you can't hang yourself on a tree!"

Xiao Yiheng looked at each other in bewilderment: "I just came up here to get some fresh air."

…

The sound of wind chimes at the door caught Xu Jingning's attention. He looked up and saw the guest who came every day.

"The bouquet you requested has been delivered this afternoon." When Xu Jingning saw this customer, he felt much happier, and even smiled three points deeper than usual. "Is there any problem?"

Yan Xun took out the still gorgeous bouquet from behind him, glanced at the sunset outside the window, and suddenly smiled: "Ah, no."

"I just remembered the friend you helped me pursue. I think I finally dared to confess my feelings to him."

The camera finally moves slowly toward the window, and the sky gradually becomes dyed with layers of pink light, which is gentle and lingering.

[Ah ...

[I am dying of knocking, I am dying of knocking, I am dying of knocking, I am dying of knocking! 】

[Hahahahahahahahahahahaha am I the only one who noticed that the guys are all in the romance scenes, while the girls are all focusing on their careers? ]

【Ye Zhiliu: excuse me?】

[Don’t be too sceptical, this is an original script by the actors! They really dare to act out all the hidden rules of sexual harassment in the workplace]

[Wow, I was really moved. It seemed like it was happening in my daily life. I almost forgot they were acting.]

Because the voting base for the final was so large, in addition to the 5,000 votes, there were also real-time voting by netizens online. Each person had one vote and the vote could be changed at any time. The final deadline was half an hour after the final performance. So when the actors had just removed their makeup and arrived at the podium, the final result had already come out.

The host did not rush to reveal the results, but smiled and asked everyone to guess the final ranking.

When talking about the first place, everyone looked at Xu Jingning at the same time.

But their actions surprised me: "No, why are you looking at me? I should be the most 'fake' one among you, right?"

After all, the highlight of this time is the sense of reality. In contrast to other people's three-dimensional personalities with happiness and troubles, Xu Jingning, who seems to never worry, is so beautiful that it seems unreal.

Weekend smiled and picked up the microphone: "Silly child, it is because your life is too good that everyone is eager to admire it."

Xie Yinlan also sighed: "If it were thirty years ago, Ningning's life would be what I would most admire."

After all, having your own shop, doing what you like, having no worries in life, and having the people you love also love you, who wouldn’t envy such a life?

Chu Xinrou sighed, "I originally thought that fulfilling my own wish was enough, but when 'Designer Chu Xinrou' saw 'Flower Shop Owner Xu Jingning', I did feel envious."

Xu Jingning smiled: "Then Boss Chu, would you like to come and work for me?"

"It's just an idea," Chu Xinrou immediately regained her royal sister attitude, "Of course it's better to be your own boss. Being an employee is still too miserable."

Several workers on the stage looked at her.

Xiang Yuan also started to talk: "What kind of capitalist speech is this?"

"Hey, hey, hey, that guy is the capitalist!" Chu Xinrou pointed at Yan Xun and diverted the blame.

So everyone turned around again, and Yan Xun had no choice but to smile and raise his hand: "We are all workers in society, and I am not much better."

"Look, I don't even dare to confess my feelings to someone I'm pursuing."

The whole audience laughed together.

The host then announced the results, and as expected, Xu Jingning, a character who could be called "white moonlight", won first place.

Immediately after the live broadcast ended, Yansheng released the refined recording footage of the discussion topic, which immediately caused a lot of discussion online.

But no matter how lively the internet is, for everyone on the scene, this work has come to an end.

Director Xu invited everyone to attend the celebration banquet and booked the most luxurious hotel in the city center with a wave of his hand.

"In fact, the program team booked the place half a month ago. Not only did the performance make a lot of money, but it also cleared up some chaos in the circle and helped promote rectification, so the higher-ups allocated another reward." Seeing that the students were all surprised, Yan Xun kindly explained, "Director Xu didn't pay for it himself, so don't worry."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Director Xu turned around and looked at them with disdain. "Even if I were to fund it myself, I could afford it. The finals were so successful that of course we should happily host one!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing.

In fact, no matter what the scores were in the final, everyone received a prize, and the four mentors also gave each of them a generous prize. As soon as we entered the private room, we saw a dozen red banners hanging in a row, congratulating someone for winning the xx award. The picture was very exciting.

Xu Jingning: “…”

For a moment I didn't know what to say to save the atmosphere.

Director Xu didn't take it seriously and excitedly asked the waiter to serve the food.

Because of the scene setting for the final, a lot of extras were invited, and the whole hall was suddenly lively with everyone sitting down.

The guests sat at a separate table. After three rounds of drinking, Ye Zhiliu, who was drunk, started to act crazy. He grabbed Xu Jingning's hand and cried, "Ningning, I don't have any big ambitions in this life. I just want to see my CP get married before I leave."

Xu Jingning: "...Ye Zhiliu, are you drunk?"

Ye Zhiliu said with a big tongue: "No way... a thousand cups and you won't fall down!"

A group of people were watching her throwing a tantrum and found it a little funny. They were just thinking about how to coax her away when Ye Zhiliu suddenly took out a bouquet of flowers and stuffed it into Yan Xun's hand through Xu Jingning.

"Boss Yan...Boss Yan! I know you and Brother Xu are truly in love! Please make my dream come true!!!"

At this point, everyone realized that Ye Zhiliu was talking about the previous plot.

what to do?

Xu Jingning turned to Yan Xun with a questioning look.

The bouquet of prop flowers used for the performance was secretly brought out. It seemed that the child was really looking forward to seeing that scene.

Yan Xun smiled helplessly: "Then perform another scene?"

Xu Jingning nodded: "That's fine."

So, the two of them walked up to the long stage in the banquet hall. At the front, Yan Xun half-knelt on the ground and held the bouquet in front of Xu Jingning.

He had a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with incomparable affection: "Boss Xu, can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

People at more than a dozen tables below the stage suddenly became excited and started to make a noise.

Looking at Yan Xun's face illuminated by the light, Xu Jingning was in a trance for a moment, remembering similar words he had said while leaning against the car door in the parking lot before.

Xu Jingning suddenly became a little rebellious. She didn't rush to agree, but took the bouquet and replied with a smile: "I need to think about it carefully."

"However, since I am quite satisfied with you, I will give you a probationary period first."

Although the bouquet of flowers was a prop, he and Yan Xun had indeed wrapped it personally during the rehearsal.

Each flower has a different meaning, starting from friends, to ambiguous objects, and finally to lovers.

In the script, Boss Yan would buy a flower every day under the pretext of pursuing someone and ask Boss Xu for advice.

Finally, with the encouragement and urging of his employees, he bought a bouquet of flowers, each flower of which was a record of their time together.

Looking at the two people looking at each other sweetly on the stage, the people below were both moved and howling in agony.

On the contrary, at this time, Ye Zhiliu woke up and took out his mobile phone to take videos frantically.

Xiang Yuan was frightened by her crazy behavior: "Aren't you drunk?"

Ye Zhiliu's eyes were full of enthusiasm: "No, I told you I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."

Xiang Yuan: “……!”

What a scheming woman!

As the banquet was coming to an end, Yan Xun was forced by the group of directors to drink, so Xu Jingning went out to get some fresh air. While walking towards the parking lot, he shared his joy with 2874.

Ever since they started talking, Xu Jingning tried to chat with 2874 as much as possible. After all, they both knew that if they chatted less, no one would know when that time would come.

But today 2874 was exceptionally quiet. It just listened quietly, and it responded to every word Xu Jingning said.

When Xu Jingning said he was tired and stood by the car, he suddenly felt a sense of panic.

At this time, 2874 suddenly spoke: "Ningning, I hope your future will be smooth and you will live a long life."

After understanding the unfinished words, Xu Jingning managed to hold back tears: "Yes, I will."

But this time, he didn't wait for a response.

Xu Jingning counted his own heartbeats and found that he felt so lonely and scared when he was alone.

The last time I had such an experience was before I was fifteen.

On the other side, Yan Xun finally got rid of the directors who were so eager to entertain him. He went to the bathroom to get rid of the alcohol before going downstairs to find Xu Jingning.

The person who had planned to go out for a walk by himself is now huddled in the car, crossing his fingers, with an indescribable feeling of loneliness.

Yan Xun sobered up in an instant, got in the car and sat next to him: "What's wrong, are you feeling uncomfortable because you drank too much?"

Xu Jingning didn't reply. She stared at Yan Xun blankly and suddenly said, "Yan Xun, can I hug you?"

Then he watched Yan Xun take off his coat.

Without a word she pulled him into her arms.

Feeling the person in his arms trembling slightly, Yan Xun coaxed him softly for a few words, and then he heard Xu Jingning say with a trembling voice: "Yan Xun, it's gone."

In just one sentence, Yan Xun understood.

He tightened his embrace so that Xu Jingning could feel truly safe.

While comforting softly: "It's okay, Ningning, as long as you still miss me."

“He’s always there.”

Yan Xun felt his shoulders slightly cold, much like the touch of tears.

But Xu Jingning should have listened to it.

Because the hand that was holding his neck rubbed his skin slightly.

He suddenly said something out of nowhere: "Why are the bonds between people so weak?"

Although 2874 is not considered a human, in his eyes, he is just an eight-year-old child.

Yan Xun was a little unprepared for his inexplicable question, and could only coax him as much as possible: "Well, I can't really say. For everyone, the bond is different."

"But I don't need so many conditions, Ningning. As long as you are willing, I will always be with you."
