Chapter 112: The 112th Melon Two-in-One
Hearing that it was Shen Que's sister, Lin Yang showed an expression of realization. After apologizing to Shen Mu, he looked at Xu Qingye again, waiting for his instructions.
"The manuscript is ready, just send it out. I've been guiding you for a while, so write me a summary report and I'll see if there's any other work that's suitable for you. Your income will be limited if you just run an account, so you can try other jobs."
Xu Qingye looked at Lin Yang seriously. Lin Yang was a professional match and should be able to handle other business of the company. It just depended on whether he was interested or not.
"Okay, I'll do it carefully."
Lin Yang nodded, stood up and left the office, and when he reached the door, he looked back in the direction of Shen Mu.
Chen Mu waited until they got off work before leaving, and was dragged by Cao Mu'an to go shopping. After she started working, her relationship with her classmates became much more distant, and she couldn't find anyone to play with except the people in the company. However, their company was full of men, so they really couldn't play together. As for Pin Yue, who had just arrived, Cao Mu'an played with her twice, but he couldn't keep up with her spending level, so he quietly slipped away.
Chen Mu and she have more of the same hobbies, so they have more things to talk about when they get together.
Xu Qingye is working overtime in the office. He has to do various inventories at the end of the year. Xu Qingye is working overtime. The so-called inventory is actually all a behavior of marketing accounts to pull down and criticize. Whoever spends money will be praised, and those who don’t spend money may not be criticized, but they will definitely be thrown into the mediocre category.
Xu Qingye is quite particular. Even if he wants to pull something out, it has to look natural. He is choosing the most appropriate inventory classification for his customers.
Xu Qingye looked at the pile of materials and felt a little dizzy.
"Su Ziyu, where did Su Ziyu fall? Her acting was a little off, her looks were a little off, and as for her performances, only her duet with Jiang Boqi stood out. It's really hard for a contestant to be mediocre in all aspects, so why did she fall short in the improvement category?"
Xu Qingye muttered to himself that he had to raise Su Ziyu's price. Su Ziyu was too average in every aspect. He was not bad, but just not outstanding enough.
In comparison, Jiang Boqi can include a lot of various inventories, even his own personal inventory. He has made a lot of headlines this year, including the duet stage with Su Ziyu, the mentor show stage, the collaboration stage with the trainees, etc., which are all very exciting when taken individually.
"Forget it, just throw it into the list of some shining supporting roles."
Xu Qingye was too lazy to dwell on it. Su Ziyu's best performance this year was "The Compound", and his performance in the compound was quite remarkable.
Xu Qingye quickly edited a video and then moved on to the next one.
He was busy when his cell phone vibrated again. Xu Qingye pressed the answer button without checking the caller ID.
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, Ono."
Xu Hong's voice came from the phone. Xu Qingye held the phone away and looked at the name.
"Sorry, I was working so I didn't look closely. What can I do for you?"
"I've already auditioned for the script you recommended, and filming will start after the New Year. I'm just letting you know. If you're free after the New Year, could you come visit the set? I'd love to work with you more."
Xu Hong spoke cautiously. She used to keep an eye on Xu Qingye because she was afraid that he would enter the entertainment industry and be recognized by his father. Now he has his own career. Although it is somewhat related to the entertainment industry, he will not be in the spotlight. Xu Hong still cares about the relationship between them. Even if they cannot be as close as an ordinary mother and son, at least they can communicate normally and have a meal together occasionally.
Xu Hong did not expect Xu Qingye's forgiveness, she just hoped that at least there would not be tension between them every time they met.
"Well, please send me the address and notice. Also, the price for next year's cooperation will be increased. I will send you a quotation later."
Xu Qingye responded nonchalantly, clicked on a video and watched it, then put it into the corresponding category.
"Well, I'll send it to you when I finish it later. Don't work too hard, and get some rest early."
Xu Hong was very happy to hear what Xu Qingye said. At least he didn't resist her too much.
"Well, if you have nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Xu Qingye was about to hang up the phone when Xu Hong hurriedly called out again.
"Wait, Chinese New Year is coming soon. Do you want to stay at my house for a few days? Your uncle would really like to meet you."
Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to realize who the uncle she was referring to was.
"Sorry, you're late. My boyfriend's parents asked me to go to his house for the New Year, and I've already agreed."
Xu Qingye refused. On the one hand, he really had an appointment, and on the other hand, he didn't want to have too much contact with Xu Hong.
Xu Hong was obviously stunned for a moment. He didn't know whether Xu Qingye was just being perfunctory or telling the truth, but in the end he just nodded silently, and then he heard the busy tone of the phone.
Xu Qingye hung up the phone and sent a quotation. Xu Hong directly transferred a sum of money, which was the advertising cost for one year.
Xu Qingye took the money and sent a very official message.
Xu Qingye was busy until twelve o'clock, then he got up and went home. When he opened the door, the house was brightly lit. Shen Que was sitting in the living room and stood up when he heard the door open.
"Why are you replying so late? You didn't even reply to the message I sent you."
Shen Que reached out and took Xu Qingye's bag, and Xu Qingye leaned against him.
"Ah, I've been so busy I haven't had time to check my phone. There's so much to do at the end of the year, and just taking inventory has taken me days."
Xu Qingye put his arms around Shen Que's neck and exchanged a light kiss with him, then slumped down on the sofa.
"Are you tired? Is there anything I can do for you? I don't have much to do in the next few days."
Shen Que reached out to rub Xu Qingye's shoulders. He was so tired today, probably because of him.
"You should have a good rest during your vacation. You have worked hard during this period."
Xu Qingye shook his head. He couldn't ask Shen Que to help him edit the pictures.
"If you really want to help, come with me to watch all the Spring Festival movies. You have to watch them once to know whether they are good or bad. There are a lot of previews happening lately. Let's go and watch them together. You can also help me write the reviews."
"You're really rude. Don't lie here anymore, take a shower and rest."
Chen Que pulled Xu Qingye up, and it would be almost dawn if they lay down again.
***
There are many activities at the end of the year, and Chen Que will not be attending the party this year, so he is free in advance. The crew of "Night Spread" is still struggling and said they will give him a reply after the New Year. Naturally, Chen Que chose to stay at home and pick his feet with peace of mind. All the materials for various endorsements have been shot early in the morning, waiting to be broadcast in turn during the New Year.
"You're not attending the party this year. Didn't any TV station invite you?"
Xu Qingye asked curiously. Even if the aura of the Best Actor was no longer shining, his movie was about to be released, so logically it should still be a hot topic.
"I was invited, but I turned it down. I'm not really good at singing. I'd rather stay home with you."
He attended various parties and did nothing but singing, so Shen Que gave up.
"cut."
Xu Qingye smiled secretly and pulled Shen Que to the study. He decided to work from home today and let Shen Que serve him with pen and ink.
"First, take a look at what's trending today. If you find anything interesting, tell me."
Xu Qingye assigned Shen Que a small task, while he continued with the classification from last night.
Shen Que responded and turned on the computer to help Xu Qingye organize. He was using Xu Qingye's laptop, and all the social software were automatically logged in as soon as he turned it on.
Xu Qingye has a lot of messy accounts, and he can be found in various forums and gossip gathering places.
Shen Que didn't check his social account, but when he logged into Weibo, a lot of messages popped up automatically.
Xu Qingye is currently logging into the account of Chenqueye. He recently updated a praise post, mainly to show off pictures. He has followed all of Chenque's performances during this period, so there are a lot of materials. He directly made a big inventory of Chenque's styling.
The account "Genuine" has already gained a certain degree of popularity among Shen Que's fans, after all, it was personally verified by Shen Que. Moreover, the image quality of this account is high, the updates are stable, and there is no commercial activity at present, so fans feel at ease.
Chen Que clicked on it curiously and took a look at the background of Xu Qingye's account. He found that there were a lot of unsent content in the draft box.
He clicked it and took a look out of curiosity.
Indeed wild: [Picture] Who understands this wrist, it is so suitable for tying a red rope. I can't imagine how astringent the red rope will make the wrist look especially white, and how the faintly visible blue blood vessels will be. If it is tightened a bit, it can even feel a little fleshy...
Indeed: [Picture] The stylist who dressed Shen Que in this silk shirt is simply a genius. The silk sticks to the skin and outlines the beautiful shape of the muscles, like a tightly wrapped gift, waiting to be roughly unwrapped. I love it.
······
Shen Que couldn't read any more after reading two of them. Looking at his own photo with these texts, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Qingye who was working seriously.
The air conditioning in the study was very strong. Xu Qingye was only wearing a thin milk-coffee colored cardigan and a pair of glasses, looking very gentle.
After taking a look at Xu Qingye and then at the messy manuscripts in the draft box, Shen Que added two more words after Xu Qingye's adjective.
A scoundrel!
After exiting the backstage, Shen Que tried hard not to recall those contents, but when he saw Xu Qingye's exposed beautiful wrist, he suddenly became curious about what it would look like if the red rope was tied on his hand.
As Shen Que was thinking, he suddenly felt his mouth was a little dry. He drank some water, but it didn't quench his thirst at all.
I stayed quietly for the whole morning. Just after lunch, a hot search appeared on Weibo. It was the news that a member of a boy band officially announced his relationship. Weibo was almost paralyzed as soon as it was posted.
Xu Qingye frowned as he looked at the two names on the hot search.
In the original novel, it seems that this is not the combination. The heroine in the original novel seems to be talking about his teammates.
Xu Qingye called Cao Muan.
"Hey, you should pay attention to Gao Jixing and He Rongyue recently."
"Are you mistaken? The ones who just officially announced are Su Mufeng and He Rongyue. Why are you paying attention to Gao Jixing?"
Cao Muan was refreshing the webpage on the other end of the phone. At this moment, the news that Su Mufeng and He Rongyue officially announced their relationship was ranking first on the hot search list. Many people were busy digging for clues about their love. Although Su Mufeng had a large number of fans leaving as expected, the number of his fans kept increasing and decreasing, and it seemed that the number had not decreased too much.
It has always been a taboo for idols to be in love. Doing it so publicly is almost equivalent to giving up their idol career. Idols sell the persona of a perfect idol. Under this understanding, they are destined not to be themselves. Boldly admitting love is bound to lead to a large-scale loss of fans. No fans want to spend money to support their sister-in-law.
"If I ask you to pay attention, then pay attention. There might be a surprise."
Xu Qingye didn't explain. He felt that even if there were some errors in the plot, the difference wouldn't be too big. At most, he just messed up the timeline on Shen Que's side. Even if other people were affected by the butterfly effect, their targets wouldn't change.
"Don't tell me they're in a threesome?"
Cao Muan opened his mouth and felt as if he had tasted something big.
"I don't know. You can go by yourself. If you are free, take Lin Yang with you to see if he has the talent to be a paparazzi." Xu Qingye did not say it clearly. He was just guessing.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingye searched for information about the three people. Generally speaking, there will be clues of love, such as the red string on Su Ziyu's hand, some clothes of the same series but different styles that he and Jiang Boqi secretly wore, as well as various jewelry, mobile phone cases, etc.
In short, love leaves traces, and at the age when we love to show off, how can we hold back?
Xu Qingye didn't know anything about jewelry brands, so he pulled Shen Que over.
"Can you help me look at the brands and series of these jewelry and clothes?"
Although Chen Que was not as flamboyant as Yi He, he also dressed very elegantly. Xu Qingye was too shortsighted at first and did not see the value of Shen Que's clothes. He always thought of him as a child from an ordinary family. Later, after getting to know him a little, he found that those seemingly ordinary clothes were actually ridiculously expensive.
Sure enough, Chen Que knew a lot more than him and quickly helped him sort out a lot of things. However, their relationship seemed a bit messy. They actually had some of the same items. Gao Jixing and Su Mufeng almost shared a wardrobe and wore many of the same clothes.
Gao Jixing and He Rongyue have worn many of the same bracelets, necklaces, etc., and He Rongyue and Su Mufeng also have some couple shoes and bags.
Of course, it could also be a gift from the brand and they just happened to be wearing the same thing.
Xu Qingye packaged these pictures and sent them to Cao Muan. Searching for the same style and timing is the basic professional quality of those who support CP. Xu Qingye certainly knows that these cannot be taken seriously. If they were taken seriously, so many CP fans would just stay where they are and spend the New Year.
These coincidences can make the fake become true. Now that the two have officially announced their relationship, there must be at least something real about it.
Xu Qingye was thinking this, when he looked up and saw Shen Que looking at him with his chin in his hand.
"What do you think?"
Xu Qingye sat up straight and looked at Shen Que, thinking that he wanted to express some opinion, and looked at him expectantly, but Shen Que rubbed against him, blinked his beautiful big eyes and asked him for a reward.
"Since I helped you, can I get a little reward tonight?"
Well, he is a love-brained person, and his brain is yellow!
"The work isn't finished yet, it's useless to think about it. Hurry up and do it."
"Today's biggest trending searches have already exploded, there won't be anything more explosive coming out."
"You're so annoying. If you have nothing to do, just stay quiet and don't bother me."
Xu Qingye moved to the side, not wanting to join in the serious topic.
"I almost forgot. I haven't chosen a location for this year's annual meeting yet. Could you help me find some fun places nearby? I want everyone to go out and relax. It's a pity that we can't go camping because it's too cold. Our camping plans for this year haven't been put on the schedule yet."
Xu Qingye slapped his forehead. He almost forgot the most important thing. Last year, there were few people in the studio, so they just had a simple meal and gave a red envelope during the New Year.
There are a lot of people this year, and "The Compound" has just given out a wave of dividends recently. Xu Qingye has money in his pocket and is more confident, so he plans to reward everyone well.
"Well, let me help you take a look."
Shen Que nodded, then sat back in front of the computer and started working seriously.
Xu Qingye’s main purpose is to let everyone relax and have a good rest, so having fun and eating delicious food is enough, everything else is secondary. Even if you just find a hotel with beautiful scenery and lie down and eat something delicious, that would be fine too.
The bloody storm continued on Weibo. Xu Qingye saw someone on a forum revealing that the two of them made their relationship public in order to prevent a bigger scandal. The person spoke mysteriously, and when many people asked what the bigger scandal was, he was vague and evasive.
There were also posts saying that they made the photos public this time because they were photographed by paparazzi, and the paparazzi asked for too much money and they couldn't reach an agreement, so they simply made the photos public themselves so that the paparazzi couldn't get any advantage.
Xu Qingye looked at the various analysis posts and was at a loss for a moment. Each one looked very real, but no one knew the truth.
In the evening, Xu Qingye and Shen Que went out to see a movie. In the end, he did not buy the preview ticket because there were too many media at the scene and it was easy for him to be photographed. It would be better to wait until the movie he wanted to watch was released.
Today he bought a comedy movie that had just been released.
Xu Qingye bought a seat in a very corner. He and Shen Que wrapped themselves up tightly, making it impossible for them to be recognized.
After Xu Qingye and Shen Que got together, they rarely went out on dates like this. There was a sense of sneaky tension, which was quite exciting.
Sitting down in the seat, Xu Qingye put his hands into Chen Que's pockets, and the two held hands in the pockets.
"Watch it carefully, and remember to write a review when you get back. Don't think I'm exploiting you. I'm training you. You need to learn more about other people's acting techniques and methods. Writing a review can help you understand a movie more deeply. Putting yourself in the role is like acting it out, which will help improve your acting skills."
Xu Qingye clasped his fingers in Shen Que's palm. Shen Que's hand was a circle bigger than his, and his palm was warm, which made him feel safe.
"Got it. Teacher Xu, I will definitely study hard and live up to your expectations of me."
Shen Que chuckled. He found that he liked the way Xu Qingye pretended to be an adult. He was only three years older than him, but he always treated him like a child. In fact, he was more childish.
For example, now he started to pretend to be an adult again. Looking at his cocky look, Shen Que happily cooperated with his performance and held hands with Xu Qingye in his pocket.
After Su Mufeng and He Rongyue officially announced their relationship, the popularity of other news was suppressed. Many drama announcements were affected, and everyone couldn't help but curse, as if their rivals were deliberately making big news.
"Dawn" was officially released. Xu Qingye used his "Genuine" account to give away a thousand movie tickets on Weibo, and took all the people in the studio to book a private theater to show his support. Although I had already seen it once, it was still exciting to watch it again.
Cao Muan didn't like this type of movie, and she watched it very seriously until the end. However, she was stunned when she saw Xu Cheng, played by Shen Que, die. She thought Shen Que was a protagonist who would always survive to the end, but she didn't expect that he would die so miserably when it was almost over.
"Ah, he died already?"
Cao Muan was a little surprised, and Lin Yang beside him explained to him.
"This character is actually the highlight of the show. He actually metaphorically represents another possible fate for the male protagonist. Xu Cheng's line seems to be separated from the whole story, but in fact it represents another ending for undercover agents, and it is the ending of most undercover agents. The director said that the prototype of this show is all drug enforcement police. Shen Que's character represents another group of people. He is a control group, but he also exists in reality."
"I see, Xiaolin, you're quite professional. This story is quite complicated, but his death was too tragic. Can Shen Que take on some comedies next time? I feel like his roles all have a tragic undertone, and he'd get depressed if he played them too much."
Cao Muan wiped away her tears. She was a person with a very low tear point. When she saw Xu Cheng fall down, she couldn't help crying. Then she put herself in Shen Que's shoes and felt like her friend had sacrificed, which made her even sadder.
Cao Muan's mood didn't improve until the subtitles appeared. The overall tone of the movie was a bit depressing. In the end, the drug-trafficking plan was obviously successful, but he couldn't be happy at all. Such success was built on the sacrifices of countless people. It can only be said that it did not live up to everyone's sacrifices and there was no way to celebrate.
"By the way, Shen Que's acting as □□ is pretty good. He doesn't look like himself at all."
Yihe also commented.
"Of course, the person I like can't be bad. Shen's name will definitely be in the major film festivals next year."
Xu Qingye was very proud. Seeing that everyone recognized Shen Que's acting skills so much, he couldn't help but feel like showing off.
"What award is Shen Que going for? Best Supporting Actor?"
Yi He asked casually, Shen Que's role was a bit awkward, although it was outstanding, the length was not enough, and he didn't know if it could be submitted for an award.
"Just get a newcomer award and become a familiar face in the film industry. You don't have to set such high standards for your first film."
Xu Qingye shook his head. The movies in this year's Spring Festival are all very good, and there will definitely be a bloody battle. In such a year with high film production, the competition for awards will be very fierce. Everyone will give 100% effort to fight for it. Shen Que can't win with this foundation, so he should just get what he can.
"After watching the movie, please help promote it."
"Haha, it's not all in vain. You really can't get any advantage at all." Yi He curled his lips and said generously that he would give all the display screens in his major shopping malls to support Shen Que.
Xu Qingye applauded with satisfaction. With Yihe's publicity, it would be enough for others to go to the movie website and write a heartfelt and positive review.
After the movie, Xu Qingye invited them to dinner and announced the news of the annual meeting. Shen Que sorted out three plans for him, all of which were plans for eating, drinking and having fun, and let them choose.
The difference lies in the different places you go to. There are warm destinations and cold places in the north. It all depends on your preference. Air tickets and hotels are all included, and you can enjoy seven days of fun.
"Go back and vote for yourselves, and tell me when you're sure."
"Long live the boss! Besides going out to play, how about the year-end bonus? How about a thick, big one that's full of surprises?" Cao Muan cheered. She had actually made a lot of money this year thanks to Zhuang Xinya's orders, but no one would complain about having too much money, especially the kind of money that can be obtained without any effort.
"There will definitely be a red envelope, so work hard and make sure you have a good last shift. Let's make some big news before the New Year."
Xu Qingye began to make plans. This was the first talent he mastered after becoming a boss, and he has now become more and more proficient in using it.
After eating Xu Qingye's pancake, Cao Muan took Lin Yang to stake out the matter. Although she thought what Xu Qingye said was outrageous, she actually believed it a little after reading the brainwashing package Xu Qingye sent.
"Tell me, what's going on with these three people? Is it a love-transfer or a multiplayer game?"
Cao Muan was squatting there feeling a little bored, so he reached out and nudged Lin Yang who was standing beside him. Lin Yang looked even more bored than him, and shook his head in boredom.
"I don't know. I've never been in a relationship, so I don't understand these things."
As the two were talking, a car stopped in front of He Rongyue's house. Cao Muan quickly perked up and prepared to see who got out of the car.
