Li Zhao is a poor, 20-year-old actor who only thinks of where his next meal is coming from. After growing up in a child only facility, Li Zhao has taken on a very optimistic personality even while ...
"What's wrong?" Li Zhao saw Yan Ting looking at him. He neither took the grilled shrimp nor spoke. He touched his face in confusion and asked, "Is there something strange on my face?"
"Yes." Yan Ting took the grilled shrimp and looked away.
"What's going on?" Li Zhaoduo touched his face several times and took out his phone to take a picture. Clearly there was nothing: "Tingting, I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, could lie."
Yan Ting lowered his head and ate shrimps in silence.
"You are so beautiful." Zhang Xiaoyuan slapped Li Zhao on the forehead and picked up the drink on the table: "Mr. Yan, this is the first time we meet. Before we came, Zhao Zhao reminded me that I couldn't let you drink. I will toast you with a drink instead of wine. This kid is straightforward and simple-minded. If he offends me in the future, please bear with me."
Yan Ting raised a can of herbal tea that cost a few yuan and clinked glasses with Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Li Zhao is very good."
Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "Although I am his manager, I have always treated him as my own brother. It's a pity that I haven't made much of a name for myself in these years. But if you need anything in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you if I can."
"Thank you." The herbal tea tasted a little sweet, and Yan Ting took a sip.
"Since we are one family, we don't need to be polite." Zhang Xiaoyuan put down the herbal tea and rubbed his hands: "Then let's... start eating."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hair on Yan Ting's temples moved slightly. It was the breeze brought by Li Zhao when he stretched out his hand. In the blink of an eye, the grilled shrimps and mutton skewers on the table flew into Li Zhao's hands. Li Zhao held the shrimps in his left hand and the mutton skewers in his right hand, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan, who had nothing in his hands, with a smug look on his face: "I knew you would do this, I was prepared."
"Tingting, come here." Li Zhao put the spoils into the disposable lunch box in front of Yan Ting: "Let's eat slowly."
"Son, am I still your favorite big brother?" Zhang Xiaoyuan picked up the last roasted potato chip on the plate pitifully, turned around and waved to the boss: "Boss, two more lamb skewers and two more pork belly."
"Okay!" In the cold winter, the shop owner was busy and sweating. He turned around and grinned at Li Zhao and them, and skillfully put the ingredients on the grill.
"Ten more skewers of shrimp, ten more skewers of enoki mushrooms, and one serving of spicy shrimp." Li Zhao whispered to Yan Ting, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"
Yan Ting was silent for a moment: "You have the final say."
"Then let's get another ten skewers of fragrant pork." Li Zhao slapped away Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand that was secretly reaching for Yan Ting's plate: "Let me tell you, the boss's fragrant pork is unique, fragrant and glutinous without being greasy, and the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth."
The diners in the restaurant laughed and talked loudly in the crowded restaurant, but did not interfere with each other, creating a tacit harmony. The boss's wife, who had gone out to deliver goods, came back. She took out the remote control from the cupboard, turned on the TV which was covered with a thin layer of dust, and hurriedly turned around to help her husband.
The TV, which had been shaking for who knows how many years, finally produced a clear picture, which happened to be Xiangguo Channel. Li Zhao calculated the time and found that the show "With You" in which he participated in recording would be broadcast tonight.
"Don't forget it, it's tonight." Zhang Xiaoyuan took advantage of Li Zhao's inattention and stole two skewers of beef from Yan Ting's bowl, eating slowly: "Tonight's barbecue is to celebrate your first appearance on a famous TV show."
Li Zhao: "But I'm paying tonight."
"It doesn't matter who pays, what matters is the thought." Zhang Xiaoyuan raised his wrist to check the time: "Wait two more minutes for the show to start."
After hearing what Zhang Xiaoyuan said, even Yan Ting put down the food in his hand and turned to look at the shabby TV hanging on the wall. In this noisy store, apart from the three of them, probably no one was interested in what was on TV.
It took three or four hours to record the show, which was only a few dozen minutes in total. Li Zhao feels that he has no sense for variety shows, but the editing effect is very good. During the pan flute performance, the program team also deliberately included several shots of the audience being moved to tears.
He thought silently that the program crew must have spent money to invite this kind of live audience which required acting skills.
A program lasts dozens of minutes in total, and the interspersed advertisements are even longer than the program. The three people were not in a hurry to leave, and they ate barbecue while watching TV.
The game segment was filmed first, but the order in which it was released was after the talent show. In the show, Li Zhao jumped onto the horizontal bar in two steps, did twenty pull-ups, and was the first to grab the toy ball.
The screams coming from the TV were enough for Zhang Xiaoyuan to guess how lively the scene was. He looked at Li Zhao with emotion. The boy was only twenty years old, but he had already begun to show his charm. In a few years, he would be in his prime. He wondered how many girls would be crazy about him by then.
"Let me see which girl will get this beautiful face in the future." Zhang Xiaoyuan clinked glasses with Li Zhao: "Come on, let's drink to Zhao Zhao's future girlfriend."
Yan Ting reached out and stroked the herbal tea can, but did not join in the toast. His eyes fell on the TV screen, where the big boy in a white shirt was laughing happily in front of the camera, like a little sun, radiating warmth.
It’s so dazzling, so dazzling that it’s blinding.
Xiangxiang is a loyal viewer of "Go With You". Sitting on the sofa and watching the show while eating snacks every Saturday is her way to relieve stress every week. She was looking forward to the previous guests, but later the production team changed the people. She felt a little disappointed and turned on the TV, eating snacks nonchalantly.
However, this indifference disappeared instantly after she saw the face of one of the guests. She stared at the TV for a long time until the commercials started. Then she excitedly took out her mobile phone, opened the chat group, and shared the handsome guy with her sisters.
Xiangxiang: Sisters, come out and see the handsome guys, turn on Xiangguo TV’s “With You” for a surprise!
Doudou: Didn’t the group you like cancel their recording due to negative news? A few days ago, I was complaining that there was nothing interesting to see in this issue, so why am I so excited today?
Xiangxiang: The essence of human beings is to love fragrance. We are sisters, and I have told you what I want to say. When you really enjoy it, don’t blame me for not notifying you.
After replying to this message, Xiangxiang no longer had the heart to pay attention to her little sisters. Taking advantage of the commercial break, I posted a Weibo and also brought up the topic of "Walk with Me".
Xiangxiang: I beg kind-hearted passersby to tell me, who is that handsome guy in the white shirt who has such a nice smile that makes my heart feel numb in tonight’s “Stay With You”? I kneel down to my sisters!
Xiangxiang is a relatively active fan in the "Walk with Me" super topic, and her Weibo post was quickly commented on.
Add salt to the red bean paste buns: Sisters, this is my new idol, a newcomer who doesn’t have many works, his name is Li Zhao. Recently, a drama in which he plays the leading role was broadcast on Qingjiao Video, you can search it if you are interested.
Xiangxiang thanked the enthusiastic netizens. When the commercial break ended, she quickly put down her phone and stared at the TV, not wanting to miss any shots of the little brother.
The sisters group receives new message reminders from time to time, but unfortunately, in the face of beauty, all sisterhood can become plastic.
Li Zhao did twenty pull-ups easily, that was cool.
Li Zhao played a country tune on the pan flute, which was very talented and elegant.
In the later part, other guests mentioned their wealthy friends in various high-end ways, such as brand-name bags and private jets, but when it came to Li Zhao's turn, he actually mentioned the people who were being relocated.
Helicopters, luxurious villas, and cruise ships are too far away from ordinary people, but the word "demolition" can really arouse everyone's nerves. Nowadays, many young people try their best but still cannot buy a house, and they dream of owning a house that belongs entirely to them.
So when they heard that Li Zhao's friend actually had two buildings, they were truly envious.
It doesn’t matter whether they are rich or not. What matters is that they admire Li Zhao’s friends very much. I just don’t know where to find such friends?
Under the envious gazes of the audience, Li Zhao on TV was still talking about his friend.
"My friend was very nice. He knew I was too poor to buy a house, but he still let me move into his house."
"Did you go there?" The hosts seemed very concerned about this question.
"No." Li Zhao smiled and shook his head: "He is such a nice guy, how can I take advantage of him."
Hearing this, Xiangxiang was deeply moved. The more valuable a friendship is, the more reluctant one is to destroy it. It can be seen that Li Zhao values this friendship very much.
She picked up her phone thoughtfully and opened the sisters' chat group. She found that all her sisters were talking in a crazy way, saying things like "my baby is so charming", and then closed the chat group with a blank expression.
She was worrying too much.
This group of face-chasers will not miss a good-looking boy.
In the barbecue restaurant, Zhang Xiaoyuan watched this passage in amazement, his face full of confusion: "Zhao Zhao, how can you have such a rich friend who owns two buildings?" He knew all the friends around Li Zhao, they were all the best in the poor world, and none of them was rich.
"Yes." Li Zhao put his hand on Yan Ting's shoulder and raised his chin proudly: "Here."
Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes widened: "Mr. Yan, do you really have two buildings?"
Yan Ting nodded slightly: "Yeah."
The moment Yan Ting nodded, in Zhang Xiaoyuan's eyes, he was no longer himself, but a gold ingot shining with alluring light.
"I'm full." Li Zhao rubbed his stomach and pulled his cap down: "Let's go home."
Zhang Xiaoyuan hadn't come back to his senses yet. He followed Li Zhao and Yan Ting blankly. When a black car stopped in front of them, he remembered that he had something to do: "Zhao Zhao, I'm going back to my parents tonight, so I won't be with you."
"Okay." Li Zhao nodded, "Be careful on the road."
"I'll take you there." Yan Ting's pale face looked particularly cold in the night.
Zhang Xiaoyuan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "No need, my parents are not far from here." After that, he rode away on his small electric scooter at lightning speed.
Li Zhao took Yan Ting's car back to the rental house. Just as he climbed up the stairs, suddenly a dark shadow ran towards him at the door. He subconsciously stretched out his leg and kicked it.
The shadow hit the wall and let out a pitiful scream.
"Don't move, or I'll call the police." Li Zhao looked at the black shadow vigilantly.
"Teacher Li, Li Zhao, I'm Cao Jia, the assistant to the president's office of Strawberry Entertainment." The assistant had been squatting at the door of Li Zhao's rental house for most of the day, and finally waited for someone to show up. Unexpectedly, he was kicked before he could even say a word.
Isn’t Li Zhao an actor in idol dramas? Why does the force with which he kicks people seem like someone in a martial arts drama? He rubbed the painful spot and looked up at the corridor lights that would not light up no matter what he did. "We contacted your agent earlier. There may be some misunderstandings in the communication, so Mr. Sun arranged for me to come and talk to you in detail."
Li Zhao:? ?
Nowadays, scammers not only commit fraud online, but also offline at the same time?
The author has something to say: Li Zhao: Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid who’s so easy to fool?
