Chapter 137 Qi Xingzhou's Gift (Two Updates in One)
On days without mobile phones, the guests all went to bed early. Even Jiang Ning went back to the house to rest after standing on the balcony for a while.
The live broadcast room's heat gradually waned. Huo Ziheng put down his phone, a complicated expression on his handsome face.
That evening, Huo Ziheng left the program crew and took the earliest flight back to Beijing.
Brothers Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian came to the airport to pick them up in person.
As soon as he saw Huo Ziheng, Huo Kaiping praised: "Second brother, you are still so handsome."
"That's right, that production crew didn't capture your handsomeness at all." Huo Kaian continued.
Huo Ziheng saw some edited videos posted by some media accounts on the Internet. It was fine on the first day he joined the program crew, but after that... he became more and more sloppy and slovenly. For so many days, he didn't even take a shower, let alone other hygiene issues. It was a situation that even Huo Ziheng himself couldn't bear to look at.
Huo Ziheng didn't want to recall the past few days, so he asked, "Where did you park the car?"
"It's just outside, walk, walk, walk." Huo Kaiping walked in front to lead the way.
Suddenly, a passerby pointed at Huo Ziheng and shouted, "Huo Ziheng?!!!!"
Huo Ziheng subconsciously looked at the other person, who was a young girl he didn't recognize.
The other party was obviously not sure until she saw Huo Ziheng's full appearance. She walked forward excitedly and asked: "Why are you here? I thought I saw the wrong person! I watched "Survive 30 Days"..."
Seeing her excited expression, Huo Ziheng suddenly had an ominous premonition. Moreover, he could feel that because the girl's voice was too loud, someone nearby had already looked in their direction. When he heard the name of the program group coming out of her mouth, Huo Ziheng's scalp tingled, and he pulled Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian and ran.
When a man really runs, his speed is beyond the reach of girls.
The three of them soon left the girl far behind, leaving her standing there in amazement.
Even after getting in the car, Huo Kaian still laughed and said, "Hahahaha, second brother, I didn't expect you have fans now."
Huo Ziheng didn't look happy at all: "What kind of fans are those? Don't they want to laugh at me?"
He looked through many comments from netizens about this live broadcast. Apart from Jiang Ning, whose reputation had made a big turnaround, all other guests had become her foils. He and Huo Miao were the two who suffered the most, being scolded by netizens every day.
During this period of time, Huo Ziheng received more scolding online than he had in the past twenty years combined!
If he hadn't run away just now, the girl would definitely have asked about the identities of Jiang Ning and Huo Miao, which was something Huo Ziheng didn't want to hear.
The unhappy expression on Huo Ziheng's face was too obvious, and Huo Kaian didn't dare to laugh when he saw it.
Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian are still high school students and cannot drive before they are 18 years old.
Inside the luxury business car, Huo Kaiping asked the driver to raise the partition so that they could sit in the back and chat without worrying about being overheard by the driver.
Huo Kaiping was a little more calm than Huo Kaian. He said to Huo Ziheng, "Second brother, the program crew rashly changed the filming method to broadcast your life live without your prior consent. They are breaking the law, right? Take the contract and sue them."
If the program team hadn't suddenly come up with this, how could the identities of Huo Miao and Jiang Ning be leaked? He and Huo Kai'an wouldn't have been laughed at by their classmates and even stopped going to school, and their parents and eldest brother wouldn't have been so sad all day. Not to mention, Sister Miaomiao's reputation has now fallen to the bottom! Huo Kaiping didn't dare to think about how much of a blow it would be to Huo Miao after she knew all this.
Speaking of this matter, Huo Kaian was also filled with indignation and cursed the program crew for being unethical.
Both brothers agreed that Huo Ziheng should sue the program team.
Huo Ziheng rubbed his forehead tiredly: "We signed a contract at that time. Let me take a look at the contract when I get back."
The production team was not stupid, and they would never intentionally do something that violated the law. He remembered that when they went to the Orange Entertainment Building to shoot the promotional video, the production team took out a contract for them to sign. Because it was the opportunity that Huo Miao had been dreaming of, he and Mu Mingxuan signed it without even looking at it.
Huo Ziheng was somewhat suspicious as to whether there was something wrong with the contract signed at that time.
After the three brothers returned to the Huo family, not only Mrs. Huo was at home, but also the eldest brother Huo Li.
Seeing Huo Ziheng enter the room, Mrs. Huo stood up and took Huo Ziheng's hand, looking him over carefully, her eyes reddened: "Thank you for your hard work during this period..."
Huo Ziheng is not a person in the entertainment industry. If it weren't for Huo Miao's invitation, Huo Ziheng would never have participated in this program, and he would not have been scolded so harshly by netizens.
"Mom, it's okay." Huo Ziheng shook his head and looked at Huo Li, who was sitting on the sofa in a suit and leather shoes with a serious expression, and said, "Brother."
"Yeah." Huo Li nodded slightly, "Where's the contract you signed with the program team? Take it out and let me see it."
During this period, the Huo family, the Mu family, and the contracted companies of several other celebrity guests have contacted the program team frequently, but no matter how they threatened or lured, the program team always maintained an attitude: the live broadcast cannot be interrupted, and they are broadcasting legally.
The attitude of the program team made the Huo family and the Mu family very angry.
The Huo family has suffered heavy losses during this period. Huo's father went on a business trip overnight to other provinces to appease customers who wanted to withdraw their investment. He has not been home for several days.
Huo Li basically lived in the company these days until his mother called him and told him that Huo Ziheng was coming back, so Huo Li went home to wait for him.
As the eldest son of the Huo family, Huo Li was sent to an elite school by his parents since he was young. He even studied abroad for two years in college and was exposed to the family business at an early age. Among the brothers, Huo Li is the most outstanding and capable one. Huo Ziheng may not be afraid of his father, but he is definitely afraid of his eldest brother.
Huo Ziheng nodded and immediately went back to his room to take out the contract he had signed with the program team.
Huo Li flipped through the contract and studied it carefully. Soon, his slender white finger pointed to a small word on the contract: "This is it."
Huo's mother exclaimed, "So, what the production team said is true? Is there really a clause in the contract that hides the live broadcast?"
Huo Ziheng felt a little uneasy.
He never even looked at the contract.
When the production crew came over with the contract, Huo Miao couldn't wait to urge him and Mu Mingxuan to sign it quickly, as if he was afraid that they would miss out on hundreds of millions if they didn't sign.
But it would be fine if they didn’t read the contract, but did Huo Miao’s company and other guests also not read the contract?
"No." Huo Li shook his head slightly: "This is a row of small words, belonging to special notes."
Huo Ziheng leaned over to take a look, and then he noticed that the small words Huo Li was pointing at said that if there were special circumstances, the program team could use other methods, including but not limited to live broadcast, to record the program 24 hours a day...
This kind of small wording as a supplement or interpretation is in almost every contract, but he always thought that this kind of clause was just for show. Who knew that the program team would actually do it for real! No wonder the management companies of other guests didn’t see it! “So, even if we want to sue the program team, we will lose?” Huo Kaian widened his eyes in shock, and was very unbelievable: “Is it legal for them to do this?”
Huo Li nodded.
Huo Kaiping: "...speechless, aggrieved."
Not only did he feel aggrieved, but the entire Huo family felt aggrieved.
The Huo family made a fortune because of the program crew's trick, but they were in trouble.
Huo Kaian crossed his arms and rolled his eyes impatiently. It seemed that every time he was involved with Jiang Ning, it was not a good thing! If she had not participated in this variety show, there would not have been so many things later! His disgust for Jiang Ning seemed to have risen to a new level.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, Jiang Ning got up the earliest.
Jiang Ning woke up just as the sky began to turn pale.
She opened her eyes, threw back the quilt, and got out of bed without any hesitation.
After washing up, Jiang Ning went downstairs and walked around the attic.
It was already evening when she arrived yesterday, and she didn't have time to look around.
I have to say that the place chosen by the program team is really good. There is a mountain behind and a river in front. A safe distance is maintained in the front and back. There is no risk of mudslides, and there is no need to worry about the river water flowing into the house when it rains and the water level rises.
Jiang Ning walked around the area and finally stood by the river.
She was wearing a black windbreaker, and had a thin figure. Her long curly hair was tied high behind her head. Two strands of hair on her cheeks were gently blown by the wind, revealing her slender and graceful neck. She had a delicate oval face with fine facial features and flawless fair skin. She looked at the river in front of her with a firm gaze, and her whole body exuded a convincing calmness.
[Good morning! As soon as I came in, I received Jiang Ning's beauty crit! ] [Her skin is so good, I'm so envious] [Indeed, no acne or spots, white and clean, I dare not imagine, if I had such good skin as hers, how happy and cheerful I would be during adolescence] [Hug.jpg] Jiang Ning stared at the river and felt a little magical: this river was actually a freshwater river.
It is very rare for a freshwater river of a considerable size to appear on a deserted island. First of all, it must be disconnected from the sea, and secondly, there must be enough rain falling on the deserted island every year for its formation.
The width of the river in front of them was nearly seven meters, and the water in the middle was bottomless. If someone fell in, the consequences would be disastrous. Just as Jiang Ning was about to leave, a fish suddenly swam over from the deep water.
It twisted its chubby body, and after swimming to the shallow water, it turned around in front of Jiang Ning to show off, and then began to spit at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning watched its actions and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The audience in front of the screen were also stunned:
[Huh? What the hell is this?] [Pfft, so funny, why is it spitting water at Jiang Ning all the time, did it drink too much last night?] [Hmm... maybe it's holding the water in its mouth and spitting it out?] [Hey, hey, hey, isn't that the point? The point is that this fish is actually provoking Jiang Ning! It's so rude! It should be put in the pot!] [I can personally testify that some fish are just mean. Last time I went fishing by the river, there was also a fish that kept swimming in front of me and spitting water at me... I was speechless. Fortunately, I didn't bring a scoop net that day, otherwise I would have to stew it] [Hahahaha, so funny, this fish is fat and big, it's a pity that Jiang Ning didn't have a scoop net and couldn't catch it] [Yeah, if it could be caught, this fish would be about 6 or 7 pounds, and it would be a big pot to cook] Just when everyone was feeling sorry for Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning squatted down and picked up two stones from the ground.
[Hmm? What is she going to do?] [Use a stone to scare the fish away?] [Otherwise, you can't possibly think that you can knock out a fish with just two small stones!] Before the mocking words on the barrage had even drifted away, Jiang Ning pursed her lips lightly, aimed at the fish, and threw the stone in her hand fiercely.
Both stones hit the fish, and in less than half a minute, the fish, which had been so proud just now, immediately turned over.
[Oh my god!] […Outrageous! Not only did he hit the fish, he also knocked it unconscious!] [With this technique, Jiang Ning is number one, who dares to say he’s second?] Just when the audience thought Jiang Ning would go down to the river to fish up the big fish, they saw Jiang Ning turn around and leave without even looking at it.
It seemed that she had just vented her anger by hitting it with a stone.
[Huh? You don’t want the fish anymore?] [It’s such a big fish!] [The fish was lying by the river. This is a shallow area. Jiang Ning could have just walked a few steps and bent down to pick up the fish and brought it back. Why didn’t she want it?] The audience was puzzled and felt sorry for Jiang Ning.
After all, these guests are lacking meat now, and what could be more nutritious than fish soup?
Jiang Ning had not taken a few steps when the fish that was pretending to be dead and turned upside down suddenly flicked its tail and quickly disappeared on the water.
Jiang Ning returned to the small attic. The sun was rising slowly, and the other guests got up and went downstairs one after another.
Last night was the most comfortable night of sleep Ling Bo, Mu Mingxuan and the others had had since they arrived on the deserted island, and everyone was in much better condition today than before.
When Jiang Ning entered the room, Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun happened to be busy in the kitchen, apparently preparing to cook noodles.
Seeing Jiang Ning coming in from outside, Nong Chun took the initiative to greet her: "Sister Jiang, good morning."
"Good morning." Jiang Ning nodded slightly and walked towards them.
Because Jian Tiantian was saved by Jiang Ning yesterday, she took the initiative to greet Jiang Ning and was very nice.
Seeing Jiang Ning coming over, Jian Tiantian said with a smile: "We are planning to cook noodles, and your portion is here. Do you like fried eggs or boiled eggs?"
There are two stoves in the kitchen. One pot is used to boil water for noodles, and the other is used to fry eggs.
"Let's fry it." Jiang Ning said.
"Okay." Jian Tiantian responded, and happily took an egg from the side and cracked it into the pot. As if she had thought of something, she asked again, "By the way, what about your friend? What flavor does he like?"
Although Jian Tiantian didn't say the name, everyone knew who she was referring to.
Jiang Ning was about to answer when she suddenly saw Qi Xingzhou appear on the stairs.
Qi Xingzhou obviously had very little luggage, but the clothes and pants he wore every day were different.
Today, Qi Xingzhou wore the same black windbreaker jacket as Jiang Ning, with black trousers, showing off his tall and slender height and upright figure. He looked fresh and clean, and some people would believe that he was a student at the boys' high school.
Jiang Ning stood in the living room below and looked up at him. At this death angle, Qi Xingzhou's facial features were still clear and smooth. He had a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and beautiful eyes with a hint of amber. He had no emotions, and under the cover of his thick eyelashes, there was a bit of indifference and emptiness.
It was not until his eyes fell on Jiang Ning and he discovered that Jiang Ning was also looking at him that Qi Xingzhou became happy at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a calm spring that suddenly became so happy that bubbles appeared.
After seeing Jiang Ning, there was no room for anything else in his eyes.
[Ahhh! Another beauty crit!] [It's really pleasing to the eyes. Every morning when I see Qi Xingzhou's figure and face, I feel that the way to work is not so annoying anymore, and even the air has become fresher] [Wow, good-looking people really like to play with good-looking people] [I dare not imagine how beautiful the children of these two will be in the future] Seeing Qi Xingzhou appear, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up instantly: "Xingzhou, good morning."
Qi Xingzhou walked downstairs quickly and was in front of Jiang Ning in a minute.
Jiang Ning pointed at the eggs that Jian Tiantian had just fried and asked him, "What flavor of eggs do you like? There are fried and boiled ones. I just ordered a fried poached egg."
Qi Xingzhou glanced in the direction of Jiang Ning's finger, his face slightly reddened: "I am the same as Ning Ning."
He had just gotten up, and his voice was a little different from usual, and he called her so intimately. When he lowered his head and spoke to Jiang Ning, he gave the illusion that he was acting coquettishly towards her.
Jiang Ning felt her ears go numb instantly.
After picking out the eggs, Qi Xingzhou raised his eyes and said in a confused tone, "Ningning, don't you like the gift I just gave you?"
Jiang Ning tilted her head: "Gift?"
[Hmm? What gift? When did he give Jiang Ning a gift?] (End of this chapter)
