Chapter 454 Li Ye: I didn’t do anything! How to explain?

After finishing the hot pot, Li Yue did not leave immediately.

Instead, just like before, he lined up in front of the TV with Pei Wenhui, Fu Yiru, Wen Leyu, and a newcomer, Yang Yujiao, and started enjoying the "home theater".

Yang Yujiao looked at Li Ye serving melon seeds, peanuts and drinks to several girls, as well as a variety of fruits to choose from, her face full of shock and disbelief.

[Is this a job for men? My brother always says that this brother Li Ye has a bad temper, so how dare these sisters order him around? ]

However, a few minutes later, Yang Yujiao was shocked again by several "sisters".

The reason was that commercials started running on television.

After everyone from the Jia family left, the TV in Yang Yujiao's home could finally be shown again. During these few days, Yang Yujiao memorized several very distinctive commercials.

For example, Yang Yujiao liked watching advertisements for Fenghua clothing, Pengcheng Red Bull, and Xinxing sewing machines very much and even remembered every line in the advertisements word for word.

But when the advertisement started on TV, Yang Yujiao unexpectedly heard the "disdain" from several sisters.

"Hey, how was the advertisement for Fenghua Clothing shot this season? They only shot the actors' faces, and barely showed the clothes. Sister Xiaoyue, you need to give some advice to the advertising department. You can't let them just use the money to make up the bill."

"Oh, I have already made my suggestion. After communicating with the film studio, the advertising department has started shooting a new commercial and will replace this one in a few days."

"This season's Pengcheng Red Bull is pretty good, but it's still a little bit worse than the volleyball player Yang Xiaojuan in the first season. Xiaoruo, what's the reaction from Pengcheng? You can't stay out of it. You have a stake in this family."

"I asked my mom, and she said that the sales of Pengcheng Red Bull increased by 15% compared to the previous season, so it is hard to judge the effect of this advertisement.

The main reason is that he is an athlete, not an actor, so we only gave him a day and a half. His acting was so stiff that there was no way to correct him, so we are going to replace him with a gymnastics prince for the next season. It is said that he is more photogenic.

“.”

When the advertisement for the Xinxing brand sewing machine came on, several girls collectively said in disgust: "Why is this advertisement so crude? It's so dry and no different from those welcome letters. What does Xiaohui's Dayong do for a living?"

Pei Wenhui said aggrievedly: "This script was written by my brother, how can we blame Dayong! Besides, we produce machinery, which is not as easy to film as your drinks and clothes."

The three girls turned their heads and looked at Li Ye, demanding an explanation with burning eyes.

Li Ye spread his hands and said innocently: "My first version of the script was not written like this, but mechanical products are not sold to workers, but to factory managers, so this is it."

Li Ye explained that the first version of the script he wrote was about a seamstress who, after working on an old-fashioned sewing machine for many years, developed various occupational diseases. She then switched to a Nova brand sewing machine and immediately felt much more relaxed.

But those damn factory managers didn't even consider whether the workers would have headaches or tinnitus when choosing products. They only cared about production efficiency. So Li Ye's script was rarely rejected by Guo Tianyong.

Li Ye was not angry. Instead, he thought that a manager like Guo Tianyong was very good. He then wrote a second version of the script, which replaced it with a simple and crude comparison of the percentage increase in power saving, durability and other data.

"Okay, okay, let's not discuss this anymore, the TV show is about to start."

Following Wen Leyu's reminder, the girls immediately stopped discussing the advertisement and gathered together to watch the newly introduced Lijiaopo TV series "The Wrath of the Sea" while discussing the plot and story in it.

In fact, whether it is Wen Leyu, Li Yue, Fu Yiru, or Pei Wenhui, none of them likes to chatter, but when they get together, they always talk about some meaningless topics.

Li Ye understood that this was actually a way to release emotional pressure. Three women on a stage, it would be strange if they didn't chirp like magpies! What's more, there were five girls on the scene today.

Of course, Yang Yujiao, one of the five girls, couldn't say a word.

Her mind was now full of question marks and shock.

She knew that her sister-in-law Li Yue worked at Pengcheng Factory No. 7 and had a relationship with Fenghua brand clothing. But if the sister-in-law gave some suggestions and the TV commercials had to be re-shot, that was obviously beyond the little girl's understanding.

The other two are even more incredible.

The girl named Xiao Ruo was actually related to Pengcheng Red Bull, and she also mentioned the gymnastics prince.

And the one called Sister Xiaohui said something even more shocking: What do you mean by “your drinks and clothes”?

Pengcheng Red Bull and Fenghua brand, are they yours? Aren't they public property?

Yang Yujiao felt that the three sisters' bragging just now was twenty miles more exaggerated than those of the most boastful boys from Beijing in the class.

But looking at the expression of her sister-in-law Li Yue, Yang Yujiao didn't feel that was the case. After all, in her mind, her sister-in-law was a powerful woman who did what she said.

So, who are these sisters?

. . . . . . .

“Boom boom boom~”

Just when several girls were enthusiastically discussing which girl in the TV series Li Jiaopo was prettier, the sound of a motorcycle suddenly came from the small street outside the courtyard, and then it seemed to stop at the door of Li Ye's house.

"Duoduoduo~"

The door knocker rang, and a guest arrived.

Li Ye got up to open the door, and Li Dayong followed closely.

"Who is here at this hour? Someone from Brother Peng's side?"

"No, it sounds like an imported Toyota 125."

Jin Peng does have a few motorcycles, but they are all Xingfu 250s, which are very different from the soft-spoken 125.

But if they were not acquaintances, who would know that Li Ye lived here?

But after Li Ye opened the gate, he found that the visitor was actually an acquaintance - Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui is the son of Professor Zhang from Beijing University of Foreign Studies. Professor Zhang sold the Zaojun Temple courtyard house to Li Ye, so Zhang Rui was considered half the owner of this courtyard house.

Later, Zhang Rui went abroad to study. When Li Ye came back from Hong Kong Island for the first time, he met him on the bus at the airport.

Seeing Li Ye open the door, Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Brother, you are really at home! I came to look for you these two days, but no one was home. I asked the neighbors and found out that you don't come here very often. There are only people at home occasionally at night."

Li Ye smiled slightly and said, "There may not be people at home only at night. I will come here on Sundays. Sometimes when relatives come to visit, they will also stay here."

Zhang Rui's eyes changed and he smiled, "Yes, it must be very convenient to have a house in Beijing."

Li Ye saw that Zhang Rui didn't look like he was just passing by, and he couldn't always block him at the door, so he said calmly: "Brother Zhang, come in and take a look?"

"Then sit down. I've been away studying abroad for two years. I've dreamed of this yard many times. I really miss this home."

Zhang Rui smiled and nodded, then walked into the yard.

Li Dayong looked at Zhang Rui with a cold face and exchanged glances with his brother Li Ye.

You came to my house late at night on a snowy day. Are you here to interpret my dreams?

However, Zhang Rui did not notice Li Dayong's look. After entering the yard, he said naturally: "This used to be my room. Brother Li Ye, did you change it?"

Li Ye said calmly, "Yes, it was changed into a bathroom and boiler room. The weather in the north is too cold, so we have to change the heating system. Otherwise, if the elderly come to our house, they will not be comfortable living there."

"Oh~"

Zhang Rui sighed: "Brother is a careful person, he thinks everything through, unlike me who sold the house in a hurry and ended up with regrets in my heart."

“.”

Li Ye looked at Zhang Rui calmly, without any expression and without saying a word.

Seeing that Li Ye didn't respond, Zhang Rui said awkwardly: "Brother, do you remember that there is an osmanthus tree here?"

Li Ye nodded to indicate that he remembered.

When Professor Zhang moved, a student from the Agricultural College who claimed to be an expert helped move the osmanthus tree in the corner of the yard.

"The osmanthus tree is dead," Zhang Rui sighed again, "So some old sayings are both right and wrong, 'If you move a tree, it will die, but if you move a person, he will live.' But in fact, even if they don't move, both the person and the tree can live, right?"

"Oh~"

Li Ye nodded softly but ignored Zhang Rui's words.

Are you still waiting for me to make a comedian? I'll suffocate you to death.

Just when Zhang Rui was embarrassed, Li Yue stood on the steps of the main house and said to Li Ye: "Xiao Ye, it's so cold, don't let the guests stand in the yard, invite them into the house!"

Li Ye smiled and asked, "Brother Zhang, would you like to come in and sit down?"

Zhang Rui hesitated for a second, nodded and said with a smile: "Come in and sit down, I have something to talk to you about."

Wen Leyu, Fu Yiru and others had already entered the east room of the main house, making room for Li Ye and Zhang Rui.

Li Ye, Zhang Rui and Li Dayong went into the living room of the main house and sat down. Zhang Rui glanced at the furniture in the room and his eyes fluctuated again.

"Seeing these pieces of furniture reminded me of my childhood, when my grandfather was still alive! He often told me the history of these pieces of furniture, but I was too young to listen."

Zhang Rui stroked the armrest of the chair, perhaps because he was thinking of his grandfather, his face showed a look of reluctance to leave.

Li Ye snorted and smiled faintly: "Brother, do you want to buy these furniture back?"

“.”

“Hahahaha~”

The expression on Zhang Rui's face froze for a few seconds, and then he burst into laughter.

"Brother, you are really a smart man. You have seen through my little tricks. I am so ashamed."

Zhang Rui shook his head repeatedly, then smiled and said, "I do have that idea. In order to study abroad, my family reluctantly sold this old house. According to the tradition of our flower-growing family, selling ancestral property is unfilial.

So I thought about negotiating with my brother. How about I offer a good price and you return the house and furniture to me?"

Li Ye looked at Zhang Rui calmly and said two words lightly: "Not for sale!"

“.”

Li Ye had no intention of bargaining. How much could Zhang Rui offer for this house? Could he offer several thousand W?

“Hahahahaha~”

"Brother, you are really like a carrot and wine! Then let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about something else."

Zhang Rui smiled for a moment, looked up at Li Ye and asked, "Brother, do you know Lu Jingyao?"

“.”

Li Ye narrowed his eyes, and after a few seconds he said, "I do know him."

Zhang Rui's smile deepened, and he continued to ask, "Do you know how she is doing now?"

Li Ye said crisply: "I don't want to know!"

But Zhang Rui shook his head and said, "Brother, let me tell you! Lu Jingyao is no longer the same as before.

She worked as a personal housekeeper for the famous British novelist Jonina Walls, earning thousands of pounds a month.

Oh, by the way, do you know Jonina Walls? She wrote a legendary novel, A Song of Ice and Fire, which is a bestseller and one of the best-selling novels in the English-speaking world in recent years."

“.”

Zhang Rui kept explaining to Li Ye everything about Lu Jingyao, but as he was talking, he suddenly realized that Li Ye's face was very cold, colder than he had ever seen before.

"I just told you. I don't want to know. Are you deaf?"

Li Ye really wanted to punch Zhang Rui in the face at this moment.

Wen Leyu is in the east room next door! You told me about Lu Jingyao, and what's even more stupid is, why did you link Lu Jingyao to "A Song of Ice and Fire"?

Shit, how can I explain it clearly?

I didn't do anything!

Yesterday, I misread the leader reward from book friend 20180208151500001 as a reward of 10,000 coins. Lao Feng would like to apologize here.

Lao Feng added another item to his debt notebook, feeling very ashamed.

Actually, Lao Feng has been thinking about updating the article these days, but my back pain came back and it hurts so much even with a back brace, so I can only postpone the update for a few days. I'm sorry, brothers.

Also, thanks to book friend 20230321175225858 for the reward.
