"Sister Yinyin, please take a look at tomorrow's schedule. If everything is ok, I'll contact Sister Liu."
After Zhao Xiaoxiao helped Su Yinyin organize her clothes and put them in the closet, she sent her an itinerary map.
"No problem. Oh, and remember to send the final footage you just shot to Sister Liu. She just asked me if I had it."
Zhao Xiaoxiao made an OK gesture and walked to the kitchen to take out the food that had just been heated up.
This was Su Yinyin's first meal at home after moving to her new home. Although it was takeout, it was a small break.
Zhao Xiaoxiao opened two cans of beer and handed one to Su Yinyin.
"Sister Yinyin, congratulations on your housewarming. Cheers."
Su Yinyin clinked her glasses: "Cheers."
The cold beer went down her throat, and the chill went straight to her lungs. Su Yinyin couldn't help but shiver.
Zhao Xiaoxiao chatted with Su Yinyin while eating: "By the way, Sister Yinyin, have you told Teacher Lu about moving out?"
Lu Jingxu had just finished filming a play abroad and would not be back for a few days. During his absence, the housekeeper and aunt at home did not go to work, but they still paid their salaries, so he was a good boss.
Su Yinyin shook her head: "I've been too busy these few days since I returned to China, so I haven't had time to tell you."
But you'll know eventually.
Zhao Xiaoxiao hesitated when she heard this, not knowing what to say. Su Yinyin saw through her thoughts and said directly, "Are you asking if he'll be angry if I don't tell him?"
Zhao Xiaoxiao widened her eyes for a moment, then nodded.
Su Yinyin held the phone and thought for a while, her typing hand hesitating in the chat window.
"Maybe... maybe, but he can't control me. Anyway, I've moved out now, and he doesn't even know where I live. Can he just come out of nowhere and start a fight with me?"

Su Yinyin was woken up by a barrage of phone calls that day. When she picked up the phone, she thought it was an alarm clock. Just as she was about to turn it off, she found it was a call from Lu Jingxu.
"Hello." She yawned, her speech still slurred as she had just woken up.
"Where are you?"
"Home."
"I didn't see you, how come your things are gone?"
Lu Jingxu watched as the sofa, which had been occupied by those gaudy pillows and dolls, suddenly returned to its original state. He was a little overwhelmed for a moment. At the same time, there was a credit card with a deposit of three million on the dining table. That was half of Su Yinyin's salary these days, and she had to keep the other half to slowly pay off the mortgage.
Su Yinyin then realized that Lu Jingxu must have returned to China, and she said "Oh".
"I forgot to tell you, I've already moved out. I've left three million on the table as repayment for the money I paid you back. If you think it's not enough, I'll pay you back the remaining three million slowly."
Lu Jingxu pinched the card with his fingers, his nails digging into his flesh. "Do I need your three million? Why didn't you tell me you were moving out?"
Su Yinyin said in a daze, "I forgot."
"Where are you now."
"Why should I tell you?"
Lu Jingxu was furious. He took an early morning flight to rush back and even bought her breakfast on the way. He didn't expect to see this scene when he got back.
"Lu Jingxu, look at the time. Three months have already passed, and I've already paid you back part of the money. I no longer have any reason to stay at your house, but I still want to thank you for taking care of me these days."
Lu Jingxu felt empty inside, his fingers loosened suddenly, his voice became softer, and he choked in his throat.
"…What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is - we're over. I'm no longer your replacement who can come and go at your call. From now on, we don't need to contact each other except for work matters."
After saying this, Su Yinyin hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
To be honest, after saying these words, I feel an indescribable emptiness in my heart.
It's over. I was clearly the one who said this, and I was the one who took the initiative to pull out the connections and feelings of this period from the tangled roots. But why, those roots seemed to have grown into my flesh and blood?
When it is withdrawn, there will be a dull pain.
She didn't dare to think too much. Lu Jingxu called her several more times. She was so annoyed that she simply blocked his phone number and WeChat.
He chuckled at himself, thinking, it was just a substitute, why bother thinking too much.

Zheng Shuang has always been very efficient in his work. As soon as he said he wanted to start a column, he would immediately gather people together.
When the lineup was officially announced, Su Yinyin checked online and found that most people were praising the show.
[Except for Li Ziyuan, I don’t know any of them. Does anyone really want to watch this?]
Li Ziyuan is a very famous talk show host with extensive experience in the entertainment industry. Because his previous regular talk show variety show was cancelled, Zheng Shuang found him and hoped that he could continue to serve as the regular host of the new show.
[There's Su Yinyin. I've been looking forward to her since I saw her playing games on a variety show before. I think I'll go and see her this time.]
[I have a premonition that it will happen...]
[Isn’t it just old wine in a new shell? I don’t expect it.]
…
In the novel, the key point of the show's reversal in reputation is not just the popularity of the guests. It is better to say that it is because the show has given everyone in it more exposure rather than the guests making the show popular. The real reason for its breakthrough is that the interactions and repartee between the people in it are very interesting and worth watching.
In addition, with the fission spread of online marketing accounts and short videos, some interesting and fun interactions spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, attracting more people to watch.
Today is the first recording of this program. Zheng Shuang knew that Su Yinyin was very optimistic about this program, so he couldn't help but talk to her more.
Unlike when the two were still unfamiliar with each other, Zheng Shuang was polite to Su Yinyin. After several contacts, he was now in a state of speaking his mind directly to Su Yinyin.
"Yinyin, don't tell me. I'm really panicking right now. This show doesn't have many sponsors to begin with. If this episode isn't interesting, I'm really afraid they'll all run away."
Zheng Shuang came to the dressing room and stood behind Su Yinyin with his arms crossed.
"Teacher Zheng, your worries are unnecessary. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, we still have Teacher Li to hold it up."
Su Yinyin got into the mood naturally, and Li Ziyuan beside her smiled happily when he heard it.
Although he has a lot of experience, after just getting along with each other, Su Yinyin has already discovered that he is actually not arrogant and speaks in a more witty way.
After all, he is an old man who has experienced the golden age of TV programs. His hosting skills and ability to control the situation and throw jokes are first-class.
