Chapter 172 Living in a dormitory

A restrained silence permeated the carriage, with only the hum of the engine and occasional low conversations.

The newly appointed group manager Xu Zhou sat in the front row, observing them through the rearview mirror from time to time.

This kind of subtle gaze made the usually most noisy members calm down a lot. They haven't figured out the new agent's personality yet. If he is petty and leaves a bad first impression, and then tries to sabotage them behind their backs, it would be very difficult to deal with him.

Leo couldn't contain his curiosity. This restless puppy had already rubbed against Xie Qingyu, his lips almost touching his ear, and asked in a whisper, "Brother, what kind of dormitory do you think they will prepare for us?"

Before Xie Qingyu could reply, Wei Liangchen in the back row had already placed his chin between the two seats and chimed in, also lowering his voice: "What else can it be? A large flat~"

After saying this, she curled her lips, obviously not used to the restrained state caused by the presence of the new agent.

Leo selectively ignored Wei Liangchen and looked at Xie Qingyu eagerly. He didn't really care about what the dormitory looked like. He clearly just wanted to find an excuse to have a private chat with his brother.

Xie Qingyu felt helpless at the look of expectation. After a moment's thought, he lowered his voice and analyzed, "Dormitories for limited groups generally need to consider privacy, functionality, and exposure needs."

He paused, "I guess it's either a duplex or a large flat."

Compared with other room types, these two have a higher cost performance.

Leo's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. The admiring look made Xie Qingyu feel a little embarrassed, and he raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes.

Wei Liangchen, standing behind him, scratched his head in confusion. Aside from having one more option, what was the difference between this and what he had just said?!

Although the others did not participate in this secret discussion because they were too close to Xuzhou, it was obvious that they all thought the same.

Mainly according to the nature of the platform, for things that are not related to the pomp and circumstance, the most cost-effective option will be adopted.

But this time, they really underestimated the platform. The nanny car drove into an upscale residential complex and stopped in front of a... small villa?!

It was not until everyone got off the bus and saw Xuzhou walking towards the door, turned around and asked them to come over to record their fingerprints that they looked at each other in surprise. It was true!

Oh my god, Grape TV has changed. Today it’s a small step, tomorrow it’s a big step. Judging from the villa, it looks like it’s quite large. I suddenly feel a little excited.

Xie Qingyu walked at the end, looking at this tree-lined upscale community, and always felt that things were not that simple.

It's too unscientific. Things that don't conform to common sense must be fishy, ​​but he still maintains his own inference.

Gu Yan noticed that Xie Qingyu and Bai Tang were lagging behind, and deliberately put on the airs of a newly promoted captain: "Why are you two not active at all? Be careful or I will deduct your impression points~"

Isn’t it said that a new official starts with three things?

He! Gu Qi! Six fires on his head!!!

Xie Qingyu and Bai Lang looked at each other, tacitly pretending not to hear anything, and walked straight towards the villa.

Gu Yan stood there, and suddenly seemed to have an epiphany. He laughed speechlessly, "So the captain is at the bottom of the food chain?"

Every member of the team is so arrogant that even Xie Qingyu, who seems to be a good kid, has been led astray. Was he just ignored? Right? Right!

Seeing that Gu Qin had been standing there without moving, Xie Qingyu and Bai Lang turned back to pick him up. Well, after all, this was just the beginning, and people had to be given time to adapt. It would not be good for anyone to force Gu Qin into a hurry.

After the fingerprints of several people were successfully entered, the door was slowly pushed open, and then... nothing happened.

What catches the eye is the colorful "grandma style" decoration throughout the house: sofa covers with large peony patterns, lace TV covers, and even pillows embroidered with the word "Fu".

Xuzhou's agent coughed twice tactically, patted Gu Qiong on the shoulder and quickly slipped away, leaving seven people in a mess in the wind.

"Let's go in first." Xie Qingyu sighed softly. Although he was mentally prepared, the visual impact in front of him still made his temples throb.

It was not until Xie Qingyu and Bai Lang walked into this "sea of ​​flowers" that the four most excited and fastest runners woke up from their dreams.

Wei Liangchen was the first to explode: "This is a scam! I want to complain! What idol group would live in a house decorated like this? Our fans will laugh at us!!!"

At this moment, he no longer cared about whether he remembered it or not, and he shouted that he wanted to find his agent to ask for an explanation.

Even though his idol image was only left on his face, he couldn't accept living in a house like this! He refused to do it! He refused to do it!!!

"Left a long time ago!" Gu Qi leaned against the door frame, raised his eyebrows calmly, finished off the attack, and followed him in.

Leo hung his head, unable to hide his disappointment, and walked in listlessly behind Gu Qiong.

Although he was extremely disappointed with this "Flowered Coat Dormitory", since his brother had already gone in, he could only accept his fate.

You Jinzhao and Ding Zai turned their heads to look at Wei Liangchen who was standing at the door indignantly, and then looked back at Xie Qingyu and the other three who were already wandering inside.

I decisively chose a pragmatic approach. Instead of protesting at the door, I decided to go in and conduct an on-site inspection first.

The two patted Wei Liangchen on the shoulder and decisively joined the indoor exploration team.

Wei Liangchen stood alone at the door and waited for a long time but received no support.

He touched his nose angrily, walked into the house as if nothing had happened, and slammed the door shut.

"I'm doing this for the team spirit!" He muttered quietly to save face, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the other people, afraid that no one would notice his "sacrifice".

It was almost late at night, and Xie Qingyu was thinking about the issue of room allocation.

The entire villa is quite large, but only the three bedrooms on the second floor are suitable for living, with a '2-2-3' bed configuration - two double rooms and one triple room.

The rooms are spacious, each equipped with a private bathroom, and the decoration is much simpler than the living room.

Gu Zheng shook his phone and relayed the message from his agent Xuzhou: "Just received the transfer. You will have one day tomorrow to decorate the room as you wish."

He said that letting them decorate the house themselves would make them feel more at home, and finally added a question about whether they were happy or not. He didn't convey this sentence, as everyone's expressions didn't seem happy at the moment.

After the tour, everyone huddled in the three overly soft sofas in the living room, all looking at Gu Qie.

"Captain!" Leo raised his arms like a student answering questions in class, then turned and looked at Xie Qingyu eagerly. His voice softened instantly. "I want to live with my brother! Brother, is that okay?"

Xie Qingyu originally thought that living alone would be the most convenient way to practice questions and prepare for the exam, but now the conditions do not allow it, so he has no choice.

Thinking that Leo had been talking about this since the preliminary round of the show, and that Xiao Gou really needed tutoring for next year's high school entrance examination, they could practice together, Xie Qingyu's thoughts turned in a flash, and he nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"Take me with you! A room for three is just right!" Wei Liangchen raised his hand with a somersault, and then he remembered to add, "Captain!" The ending tone of the perfunctory title was twisted.

Gu Qi lazily leaned on the sofa with his arms folded, looking at the two pairs of bright eyes opposite him, and laughed out of anger.

That's great. The "captain" just ignores everything when there's something wrong. It's really frustrating to be a captain.

Before Gu Yan could speak, Bai Lang, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "We have already lived in the same dormitory at the base, and now it's time to rotate." His voice was light, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Liangchen.

The word "them" obviously includes Xie Qingyu as well - with this calculation, half of the people present have lived with Xie Qingyu.

Dormitory 122 has a total of 6 people, and there are 7 debut spots available, with their dormitory taking up 4. Who says 122 has bad feng shui? This is clearly a Feng Shui treasure land.

Feeling everyone's attention, Bai Lang continued calmly, "I haven't yet."

The implication was obvious. Not only was Wei Liangchen's position targeted, but most of the competitors were also directly eliminated.

To be fair, Bai Lang's logic is impeccable.

The adjustment period of a new group is to break the inherent circle, build a close network of relationships among members, and accelerate the cultivation of collective identity.

But... he missed one thing.

"Me! I also want to share a dorm with Qingyu! We've never lived together!"

You Jinzhao was enjoying the show, completely ignoring the angry look of his childhood friend Wei, and happily intervened.

Bai Lang didn't even raise his eyes: "You lived in the same dormitory with him."

He glanced between You Jinzhao and Leo, suggesting that they were roommates at the base.

Now everyone was completely convinced. What a guy, he usually looked like an iceberg with no desires, but he was better at using an abacus than anyone else, and the abacus beads were almost breaking people's faces.

So you're the best candidate~

That's the truth, but Wei Liangchen is not on this track at all.

He took a shortcut and pounced on the person involved, Xie Qingyu, like a big bird, and said in a pinched voice, "My benefactor, look at him!!! Tell me what you want to share a room with him~"

"Yue~" An exaggerated retching sound suddenly sounded.

Everyone turned around and saw Ding covering his mouth innocently, blinking his eyes: "Oh! Sin, sin, how could I make such an indecent sound~"

Very good, the performance is exaggerated, which is very good!

Wei Liangchen really couldn't bear it anymore. He was still a little scared of Bai Lang. Couldn't he deal with this guy Ding?

He immediately called him "Old Thief Ding" - who doesn't know who? Why are you trying to show off your presence here?

Ding Zai shrugged indifferently, with an expression that said, "You're obviously exaggerating too much," but his eyes kept drifting towards Xie Qingyu.

Although he didn't say anything, his eyes clearly said: "Look at this bad temper, do you really want to live with him? Are you sure? Are you really sure? ? ? "

Xie Qingyu was almost led astray by this group of people. When did it become default for him to live in a triple room?

She clearly agreed to live with Leo at the beginning, so how did the plot go so off the track?

Yu Yuzi is really not Sister Li!!!

Gu Qie watched the farce leisurely throughout. Seeing the members arguing, he finally made the final decision: "Stop arguing. I'm the captain, listen to me."

He slowly made the arrangements, "You Jinchao and Wei Liangchen will stay in room one, Bai Yan and Ding Zai will stay in room two, and me, Leo, and... Qingyu will stay in room three, so it's more convenient for tutoring. That's it, go wash up and get some rest~"

He made a move to stand up, but found no one moving. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?" His face showed no trace of guilt.

Bai Lang raised his eyes and looked straight at him, saying calmly, "I can also tutor students." The implication was that his grades were no worse than Gu Qi's.

That's putting it mildly.

Wei Liangchen was so angry that he lost his mind, forgetting the painful experience of being punished by Gu Yan at the base, and blurted out: "Using public power for personal gain, who the hell do you think you are, captain?!"

"You're such a scoundrel, Wei Liangchen! How dare you speak so rudely to the captain!" Ding Zai immediately seized the opportunity and pointed at Wei Liangchen, who was squatting beside Xie Qingyu's legs, righteously saying, "Captain, this traitor should be hung from the ceiling and sleep for a night as a warning to others!"

"Second!" You Jinchao expressed his agreement with both hands and feet, and vowed to put an end to this "evil trend".

Wei Liangchen regretted his words the moment they left his mouth, but he didn't want to lose face: "The captain hasn't even given the order, and you two are jumping up and down. Are you trying to usurp the throne?!"

"nonsense!"

"Yes, yes! You all want to rebel!"

“…”

Several people were possessed by the spirit of drama and were arguing heatedly.

Leo was dazzled and almost applauded.

Xie Qingyu glanced at Gu Qi's increasingly dark face. None of these people said anything to each other, and no one took the captain seriously.

But we can't keep arguing like this. I feel like it will go on until dawn.

Finally, Gu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Let's decide by drawing lots!"

As soon as the words fell, the people who were on edge just now instantly returned to their positions, as if nothing had happened - why didn't you say it earlier, this is what they were waiting for.

Gu Qi sneered: You’re too lazy to pretend, right?
