Xiang Chisong was spreading cheese on toast. He glanced at her and said, "Did I owe you pocket money? Do I need to follow the production team to Country B? If you tell others about it, they will laugh at you."
"You don't understand, brother." Xiang Wan Ning quickly snatched the toast he had spread and stuffed it into her mouth: "They have arranged everything, I just need to follow the production team. It's so boring to travel to Country B alone!"
Xiang Chisong looked at his empty left hand, took another piece of toast and spread cheese on it, then asked Xiang Zhinian: "You are doing well in the entertainment industry, why do you want to quit?"
"I'm more interested in figure skating now." Xiang Zhinian saw that he had finished applying the toast, turned his head and took a bite of it, snatching it away, and answered slowly: "Didn't brother ask us to develop more hobbies?"
Xiang Chisong: …
He put the spatula aside and asked through gritted teeth, "Don't you two have hands?"
He picked up the toast for the third time, his eyes fixed on the two restless bad guys opposite him. Just as he spread the cheese on it and before he took a bite, he suddenly felt a force coming from behind him.
"Thank you, son." Mo Yin took a few bites of toast in a hurry, and ran out the door after finishing the whole piece. Finally, she braked suddenly, as if she realized something, and blew a kiss to everyone perfunctorily: "Mom is going to be late, so I'll leave first!"
Xiang Chisong: …
He asked, "Mom, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"
"She is a judge of the international music competition." Xiang Zhinian said, raising his wrist to check the time on his watch: "But she will be late by ten minutes."
Xiang Wanning said slowly: "Don't worry, Dad will race against time."
Xiang Chisong: …
...and racing against time. The international music competition is 40 minutes away from home. This is not like Kuafu chasing the sun.
But just as she finished speaking, a loud roar suddenly came from outside.
Xiang Chisong turned his head and vaguely saw the outline of a helicopter through the living room window, and then heard the sound of the helicopter starting.
——His beloved father, who had left the Xiang Group to him, was the only one in the family who was qualified to fly a helicopter.
Xiang Chisong: …
OK, OK, OK.
He looked down at his empty plate, put down the spatula with his right hand, and when the servant came forward to ask if he needed some more toast, he shook his head, exhaled slowly, and said in a deep voice, "No."
"I'll just drink some northwest wind."
Xiang Wanning saw him leaving and sent a message to his assistant. Not long after, she saw him coming back and said to her, "Wanning, your production crew is here."
Xiang Wanning, whose hair was not combed and whose face was not washed: …
She screamed and ran up to the second floor immediately.
* When Xiang Wanning had packed herself up and was about to go downstairs with her suitcase, she just happened to hear Xiang Chisong and Xiang Zhinian being interviewed by the production crew. The two chatted so enthusiastically that they had forgotten their own business.
The staff member handed over the microphone: "May I ask what Wan Ning usually does at home?"
Xiang Zhinian closed his eyes and made up a story: "Her hobbies are more elegant. She likes playing the piano, drawing, and occasionally practicing calligraphy."
Xiang Wanning, who knows nothing:? Because it was too ridiculous, Xiang Chisong next to him couldn't help laughing. As a result, the staff handed him the microphone, his eyes flashed, and he began to dig holes: "Does President Xiang know which celebrity friends Wanning usually contacts privately? Who is she close to?"
Lying at home every day, not going out of the door, not stepping towards Wan Ning: ...
He couldn't answer the question at all, but then he remembered that Xiang Wanning had excitedly said that her personality was "gentle and lively". He thought for a moment and didn't want his answer to damage Xiang Wanning's image.
So he racked his brains to think about which artists were signed to the Xiang Group, but he only remembered the name of An Yu, who had worked with Xiang Zhinian before. He said stubbornly: "There are quite a lot. You know my sister is very popular. For example, An Yu..."
At this point, his mind went blank, but the staff was staring at him with delight, and Xiang Chisong's mind was full of thoughts: The atmosphere has come to this point, it would be impolite not to continue.
He thought of the entertainment news he had read before, so he read out many people's names verbatim. He didn't know whether they were male or female, but he knew that the Xiang Group was somehow related to their company. If he told others about it, at least no one would expose it and give face to him, the president of the Xiang Group.
Until he mentioned the name Lanzhi.
Xiang Zhinian silently stepped on his foot, stopping his topic.
When Xiang Wanning heard their answer at the stairs, her eyes went dark and she could not see her future.
She hid from the camera and took out her vibrating phone, and opened the live broadcast room of the love travel. As expected, the program team started the live broadcast! Xiang Wanning looked through the barrage with fear, and there were barrages from Xiang Zhinian's fans on it. It was a scene of ghosts crying and wolves howling! They were all accusing Xiang Zhinian of resolutely retiring from the circle, regardless of the lives of her fans. Now, if they want to see her, they can only watch her through her own program.
After the exhaust gas passed, Xiang Wanning saw that her beloved brothers and sisters were shouting and praising her so much that her cheeks flushed:
[What? She has so many skills?! Why isn’t this publicized?! Why?! What is the studio doing?! We fans don’t even know that Wan Ning has so many talents!]
[Oh my god! My sister can play the piano and draw! She even practices calligraphy! She is too low-key! My sweet sister, can you not be so rigid about gender? ]
[Ahhh, you guys are wondering if Wan Ning, who can play the piano, can use her brain. Her mother is Mo Yin! The awesome woman who won three championships in her 20s and is now a special judge for national competitions! All music students know her, right? Who hasn't dreamed of becoming Ms. Mo Yin's student! ]
[Oh no, I now feel that those male guests are not worthy of my sister! But I am willing to be a dog for my sister! ]
[Why do I remember Yu Quezhou saying in an interview that he likes this kind of girl? Um, she must be able to play the piano, draw, write calligraphy, etc...? ]
Xiang Wanning felt very guilty at first, and clicked the "not interested" option on the barrage every time she saw one. When she saw the barrage about Que Zhou later, she was stunned for a moment, and then shifted her gaze.
Who knew that after this shift, she would see a lot of “Ahhhhhh”, “I knew they were zd!”, “I got hit!”. She turned off the live broadcast with a headache, and just as she opened WeChat, she saw the question mark sent by Lan Zhi.
【Lan Zhi:? 】
【Lan Zhi: What is your brother playing? 】
[Lan Zhi: I was politely escorting you to the car at the crew dinner and was photographed by a paparazzi. Didn’t he come to ask me what happened? ]
[Lan Zhi: I had to persuade him to believe it. Do you know how terrified I was when I heard my own name coming out of his mouth as soon as I turned on the live broadcast?]
[Lan Zhi: Our relationship is not that good, right? Will he come to see me later? I am still in the stage of "running away from home" and "unsuccessful in starting a business". I hope he doesn't call Lan Group and tell my dad about it, and finally force me to go back and inherit the family business...]
Xiang Wanning: ...
She immediately typed to comfort the other person: [Xiang Wanning: Don’t mind it. He probably doesn’t remember the other people’s names, and doesn’t want others to think that I don’t have any friends. He’s just trying to support me.]
She sent another transfer: [Xiang Wanning: Don’t worry, my brother is not that kind of person]
Lan Zhi happily accepted the transfer and replied:
[Lan Zhi: Good brother, I just ran out of money, you are so considerate! Last time your brother misunderstood me, he also transferred some money to me. If there are such good things in the future, please continue to call me! (Cute smile)]
He felt uneasy with the money, so after thinking for a while, he searched for a list in the memo and forwarded it to Xiang Wanning: [Lan Zhi: The names on this list are all my friends, they are very tight-lipped. This way, if my brother needs extras in the future, just read out their names! ]
[Lan Zhi: From now on, we are friends for life. If you ask me who I am best with in an interview, I will definitely say your name! ]
Xiang Wanning: ...
Thank you, I hope there won't be a next time.
She thought sadly that she should not have created such a character.
Seeing the staff below about to come up, Xiang Wanning quickly turned off her phone, smiled, and prepared to drag the suitcase down. When the servant came up to help her, she was about to refuse, but as soon as she lifted it, her waist almost sprained, so she immediately gave up her position.
She rubbed her waist, watched the servant carry the suitcase down at great speed, and looked at him with admiration.
When the staff saw her eyes light up, they immediately let go of Xiang Zhinian and Xiang Chisong, turned around and handed her the microphone, first made a few polite remarks, and then said to her: "Wan Ning, is it convenient for you to open your suitcase for us to see? What do you usually bring when you travel?"
Xiang Wanning, who had been prepared, smiled and said, "Of course it's convenient."
She opened her suitcase and saw the camera turned around. The staff looked at the pile of things in her suitcase in surprise and hesitated.
“This is breakfast.”
"What are these skipping ropes and small dumbbells?"
"I use it for exercise."
"Ah...what are these books?"
“I’ll watch it when I’m bored.”
Xiang Zhinian: ...
Xiang Chisong: …
The two were afraid that they could not hold it in any longer, so they immediately said that they had something else to do and turned around and walked out of the house.
Xiang Chisong got in the car and was telling the driver to take Xiang Zhinian to where she wanted to go first, but when he turned around, he found that Xiang Zhinian had not gotten in the car at all.
He saw a Silber car parked in front of his house. As soon as the door opened, Xiang Zhinian got in without hesitation.
Xiang Chisong: …
"Go to the company." He said, glanced at the car, slammed the door shut, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Shen Yanli.
【Xiang Chisong: Don’t you have a job? 】
[Chen Yanli: Don’t cue, I’m about to take Chinen to work]
【Xiang Chisong: She is your girlfriend, not working for you! 】
[Chen Yanli: I just transferred the shares to her a few days ago. She now owns half of the Shen Group. Still calling her? ]
After a while, another WeChat message came over: [Chen Yanli: Brother, don't worry, I won't be fooled by a man. I pretended to be fascinated by him. This is just part of my plan. Don't say anything. I have my own pace. The future of Shen Group is in my hands! ]
Xiang Chisong silently threw the phone aside.
"Your wedding will be held in two days." Xiang Chisong held his breath and asked the assistant beside him: "What do you think if I give Wan Ning..."
"Sister Wan Ning has her own company, so she doesn't have to worry about food and drink." The assistant handed him the breakfast and said tactfully, "But if you give it to Xiang's... it will go bankrupt, right?"
"She's not stupid, she just doesn't like to learn." Xiang Chisong was a little unhappy. After taking a bite of the sandwich, his eyes lit up: "The breakfast you bought this time is pretty good."
The assistant said, "No, Sister Wan Ning asked me to buy it."
A gentle smile appeared in Xiang Chisong's eyes, and he began to praise Wan Ning to his assistant: "Wan Ning was likable when she was a child. I still remember..."
assistant:……
The assistant agreed on the surface but complained in his heart: Here it comes again, this can't shut you up, right?
——
After the production team finished filming the footage at home, Xiang Wanning got on the production team's car. In the car, the staff gave her a task card, which read: Meet up with other guests at the airport and choose your partner before boarding the plane. The remaining person will be punished by the production team! It was not until now that Xiang Wanning discovered that there was an extra male guest in the lineup this time! It is not uncommon for male and female guests to choose each other. For example, in the first episode, she and Xiang Zhinian were in the same group, so it is unclear whether the person left alone is a male or female guest.
However, Xiang Wanning thought that some guests had come to her agent to hint that they could be paired up on the show. Although she had not agreed in advance, at least she would not be the one left, right?
She breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
After the program crew's car stopped, she pushed the suitcase and first looked in the direction of the staff. When she didn't see Yu Quezhou there, she turned her head away in disappointment and walked into the airport.
A few minutes later, Xiang Wanning looked around the airport in confusion: "Is the mission card written correctly? Why don't I see anyone?"
The staff member who was filming not far away was about to answer, but saw someone walking towards this side. So he pointed to Xiang Wanning and said, "The guest is here."
Xiang Wanning turned around and saw that the man was wearing a smoky gray suit and had a handsome face. His amber eyes were filled with smiles as he walked towards her. He was gentle and elegant, giving people the illusion that he was as warm as melted spring water.
This person seems familiar.
Wait...! Isn't this Yu Quezhou? How come he is a guest? Xiang Wanning was stunned. First, she thought it was no wonder that she didn't see him with the staff. Then she was full of doubts: How come the person who presented her the award a few days ago appeared in front of her as a guest? Her hand holding the lever was a little wet. She couldn't tell what emotion she felt. She just felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster with his pace, but she didn't understand why.
It wasn't until Yu Quezhou dragged his suitcase towards her and greeted her gently that her thoughts were interrupted: "Hello."
"Hello." Xiang Wanning concealed her thoughts and stretched out her hand to him: "I am Xiang Wanning."
Yu Quezhou politely shook it, shook it gently, and separated it immediately: "I know, Wan Ning is the best actress."
These words, as gentle as a spring breeze blowing past her ears, brought an itch, and Xiang Wanning couldn't help but rub her already hot ears. She felt a little embarrassed when she heard him address her, and was distracted for a moment due to nervousness.
Until her suitcase was taken away by Yu Quezhou.
She knew how heavy her suitcase was, as it was filled with her necessary "pretentious" items, so she quickly tried to stop him: "I can carry it myself, Director Yu."
At this point, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you really the guest of this show? But aren't you the director of this variety show?"
"I'm not the director of this episode of variety show. They only found me because the previous guests didn't have schedule. But I didn't expect that after I came, I found another one..." Yu Quezhou sighed softly, frowned, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"This is my first time participating in a dating show." He whispered, "But I seem to be the superfluous one."
The assistant director who saw this scene in front of the camera said: …
Hard, the fist is hard.
But who would believe this kind of reason? After hearing this, Xiang Wanning looked at him with some guilt, thinking that she had touched upon a hidden secret of "commercial competition". She didn't have time to think about his words, and Yu Quezhou's somewhat lost voice was still echoing in her ears.
The production team must be trying to attract attention! ... But will international directors also encounter such problems?
Seeing her doubtful look, Yu Quezhou coughed lightly and said with some regret: "After all, the arm cannot twist the thigh..."
Now Xiang Wan Ning believed it. She remembered how Xiang Chisong had the final say in the Xiang Group. Yes, an internationally famous director is just an employee. How can he compare to a capitalist? Seeing that the other party took her luggage very gentlemanly, she felt even more embarrassed. She said, "I can do it myself," and reached out to take the suitcase, but found that Yu Quezhou did not let go. She looked at him in confusion.
Then, she saw the other party moving his lips hesitantly and uttering a few words silently, but she did not hear clearly.
Xiang Wanning was about to ask a question when she saw Yu Quezhou mustering up his courage and looking at her expectantly, with a gleam in his eyes, and asked cautiously:
"I asked other people before I came here, but they were unwilling..."
"Will you... choose me?"
——
The assistant director at the side saw this scene: ...
Did he know that this was a live broadcast? The staff member who was on good terms with the assistant director walked around the equipment and couldn't help but ask the assistant director: "...Director Yu, what is this?"
"Can't you see it?" The assistant director rubbed his eyes. He had never seen such an eye-catching operation: "The screen is opening."
Assistant Director: Just act. Who can act better than you?
Yu Quezhou: Don’t worry about it, it works well.
