Chapter 131 Eating, drinking and having fun

"Charlie, are you kidding me? Even if Xiaoxiao didn't happen, you're asking me to be her partner. You're crazy. I won't go!"

"Do you think I want to? I care about your status more than you do. What I least want to see is someone suppressing your status like this." Charlie said with a headache: "Although I am in charge of the production department, I am also under the command of General Manager Qiu. If you don't agree, he can't do anything to me, but can he do anything to you?

Mingxu, if Mr. Qiu wants to make things difficult for you, even if it means banning you, it's just a matter of words. And you haven't acted in vain. I've secured a good resource for you. You can rely on this resource to gain a firmer foothold in the TV station. Whether you can become the future number one depends on this time."

Big brother? Now he's going to be the little brother! Mingxu rolled his eyes and was about to refuse again, but he rolled his eyes and asked, "Mu Guiying will start filming so soon?"

"The time hasn't been set yet. It takes time to assemble the team and the script isn't finished yet, so it might take about two months. But Wang Shasha is eager to start work, so she might do the styling and other preliminary work first."

Mingxu asked, "When do we start trying on makeup?"

"About a month, I'd guess."

"I understand." Mingxu said only this and left.

Charlie behind him said loudly: "Then I will agree to it for you."

"Whatever you want."

Mingxu left the TV station. Seeing that it was getting late, he picked up his mobile phone and called Hu Xiaoxiao, "What are you doing?"

"I have nothing to do, so I might as well eat and drink." Hu Xiaoxiao curled up on the sofa, leisurely eating potato chips and watching TV.

When Mingxu heard about food and drink, his face lit up and he asked, "What to eat? What to drink? I want some too."

Hu Xiaoxiao thought about tomorrow's schedule and said, "I'm going out fishing tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

She has recently taken a liking to eating seafood. It tastes good when steamed or grilled, as long as it is fresh.

Going fishing on a boat is a very relaxing activity where you can have fun and eat.

Mingxu is an expert at barbecue, and it would be even better if he joined in.

"Come on, come on! You must come! What time tomorrow?" Mingxu was even more anxious than Hu Xiaoxiao. "I'm going to prepare the ingredients for the seafood now. We'll catch, slaughter, and cook it on the boat tomorrow. God knows how long it's been since I've eaten something this fresh."

After hearing the location and time reported by Hu Xiaoxiao, Mingxu turned the steering wheel, drove the car to the market, and started shopping.

Early the next morning, Xie Zhiheng sat on a recliner with his eyes half closed, yawning continuously.

Hu Xiaoxiao poured him a glass of warm water and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

Xie Zhiheng yawned again and made an OK gesture. "I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Mingxu arrived at the dock on time, carrying bags of things. Hu Xiaoxiao went over to help him load them onto the yacht. When she saw the contents of the bags, her eyes sparkled and she asked, "Is this all food?"

"Yes, I was worried you didn't have breakfast. Look, there's breakfast takeout from the teahouse, and there's even cake. Here are some ingredients for the barbecue later. Oh, and I also brought some marinated chicken wings and drumsticks, just in case you don't catch any seafood."

Mingxu made very thorough preparations, with everything to eat and drink.

Xie Zhiheng came over to help put the food on the table. The breakfast was still hot and the aroma made him hungry.

She opened the things one by one and called Hu Xiaoxiao and Mingxu, saying, "Sister Xiao, Mingxu, hurry up and eat while it's hot."

The three of them were not polite when it came to eating. They sat together, picked up their chopsticks, and had a delicious, rich, and filling breakfast.

The boat they took to the sea was a flying bridge yacht that Xie Zhiheng had bought before. There was a soft canopy on the top of the yacht to provide protection from the sun and rain, making it perfect for enjoying the scenery.

There is ample space below deck for relaxing.

After breakfast, they went to the first deck to prepare their fishing gear.

Mr. Mingxu lit the charcoal fire for the barbecue. When the fire was strong, he grilled a few skewers of vegetables to relieve the greasiness.

Hu Xiaoxiao took a chair and sat next to him, looking at the scenery while waiting for the meal.

After eating, he waited for more food. Hu Xiaoxiao loved this day very much.

Mingxu's cooking skills have improved again. The barbecue ingredients he prepared are even more delicious than those in barbecue restaurants. Hu Xiaoxiao and Xie Zhiheng can't stop eating them.

The one who ate the most was Mingxu. Not only did he eat all the cakes and snacks he brought, he also ate most of the fish he caught.

As the days go by, the leisurely life filled with delicious food makes people reluctant to leave.

Before he knew it, a month had passed. One day, Mingxu was getting ready to go out and make an appointment with Hu Xiaoxiao to go sea fishing.

After playing around for a while, they decided that going out to sea was more comfortable. They found an uninhabited deserted island with a large space. They ate and drank facing the vast sea and had a great time.

When playing in the city, you need to wear a mask wherever you go, otherwise you will be recognized immediately and feel very restrained.

"Mingxu." Wang Shasha called. "Are you free today? If you are free, come over and try on some makeup."

"Is the styling ready?"

"Everything is ready. I have prepared several sets of costumes for you, all tailor-made for you. I won't treat you unfairly in this drama." Wang Shasha made a promise on the other end of the phone.

Mingxu agreed readily, "I'll go try on the makeup now."

"I'll wait for you." Wang Shasha said happily.

Mingxu picked up the car keys and drove to the TV station.

After getting off the car, Mingxu whistled all the way up.

However, people who saw him along the way first looked puzzled, and then surprised.

Mingxu was in a good mood and greeted everyone. He pressed the elevator and went up to the floor where the final photos were to be taken.

The elevator door opened, and Mingxu walked to the studio with familiarity. Before he even arrived, his voice was already there. "I'm here. Where's my costume? Let me try it on first."

The costume crew heard Mingxu's voice and pushed out the clothes rack. Just as they were about to ask Mingxu to change into his costume, they looked up and their eyes widened involuntarily: "Mingxu?"

"What? You didn't recognize me after not seeing me for a while?" Mingxu smiled, and his teeth looked particularly white.

Everyone else turned to look over, all with shocked expressions.

Wang Shuangshuang put a lot of effort into the drama "Mu Guiying". For only 20 episodes, she prepared more than 20 sets of costumes for herself, and she changed one set for each episode and had extra costumes.

She changed into beautiful clothes, put on makeup, and took dozens of photos of each look so that she could pick the best ones for publicity.

"Is Mingxu not here yet?" Wang Shasha changed into her favorite costume and prepared to take the final photo with Mingxu later.

"Here...here..." The staff member who came in heard it and replied in a cryptic way: "He's outside. How about you go out and check on him?"

Wang Shasha asked curiously, "Why are you looking at him? Let him change into his costume and take a photo!"

"But, Sister Sha, the costume department has encountered a very difficult problem."
