Du Yibai felt that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.
Faced with everyone's accusations, no one spoke up for her, and the situation was very awkward.
Several black cameras were also pointed at her, capturing the subtle expressions on her face.
She had no choice but to admit that it was her own fault and apologized to Mingfu with an embarrassed look.
"It's really not Mingfu's fault. Today's time is limited, and I don't have the extra time to comprehend it thoroughly. Mingfu, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. You taught me very well, and I have memorized all the key points. I believe I will master it in no time."
Even at this time, she did not forget to put the blame on objective reasons.
"If you have any questions, you can continue to ask me. I will definitely tell you everything I know. After all, we are good friends." Ming Fu looked at her with a smile, and deliberately repeated and emphasized the word "good friends" she mentioned.
"Okay..." Du Yibai also smiled awkwardly, but the smile was very stiff.
Her expression was also seen by the audience.
My sister's best friend looks so strange. The subtle atmosphere makes me feel that they don't seem like best friends at all.
[I'm afraid she's just an ordinary classmate, pretending to be so popular because of her younger sister. Her enthusiasm is really awkward and looks unnatural.]
[A true friend is not like her, who is sarcastic and stabs you in the back.]
I really beg her to stop using me for free. Her sisterly love is so fake, even fake friendships are more genuine than hers.
Even though the audience knew that Du Yibai was acting, she had to continue to play the role of a "good friend".
If she gives up acting now, not only will all her previous efforts be wasted, but she will also be slapping herself in the face and letting the audience know that she is a lying liar.
But as long as she keeps acting, she can make the fake look real, and maybe she and Mingfu will become real best friends.
So she acted as if nothing had happened, and continued to stick to Mingfu as usual, being affectionate and attentive to him.
Du Yibai only pretends in front of the camera. As long as the camera is not shooting, she will stop pretending.
While changing clothes in the locker room, she didn't pay any attention to Ming Fu from beginning to end. After changing her clothes, she left without even saying goodbye.
Mingfu didn't care about her behavior at all, let alone where she went.
Although Tan Lu had guessed the relationship between the two, it was not as Du Yibai said.
Still unable to hold back, he asked Mingfu, "You two?"
Ming Fu didn't even turn his head, and only answered with two words: "I'm not familiar with it."
Tan Lu, who realized the truth belatedly, was amazed. She had met all kinds of people in her work and rarely misjudged someone. She could only say that this girl named Du Yibai was no ordinary person.
Du Yibai ran out in a hurry, not only because she didn't want to act out her sisterly love with Ming Fu behind the camera, but also because she had something to ask Lao Huang.
Lao Huang spent half a day in the sun today and he was almost dried out by the heat.
Zhou Xiao said that in order to protect the equipment, all the equipment was placed in the shade, and the several umbrellas in the group were used to shade the equipment. Lao Huang could only hold such an umbrella for himself and stand in the sun. The heat rising from the ground was even hotter than the sun.
After half a day, Lao Huang almost lost his life and had no appetite.
"What's the matter again?" Old Huang was in a bad mood, and his temper was naturally not very good. He became impatient when he saw Du Yibai.
Du Yibai took a fan and fanned Old Huang sensibly.
"Director Huang, you must be suffering from the heat. I ordered you a bowl of mung bean icy porridge. It's really refreshing. Would you like to try it?"
This is Duyibai's takeout. It was just delivered and is still steaming.
Old Huang took a look and saw that Du Yibai had already helped him make mung bean porridge.
The plastic bowl contained glutinous rice porridge with ice cubes, boiled brown sugar, garnished with ice dumplings and mangoes, and sprinkled with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts. The outside of the plastic bowl was soaked with water droplets.
It is indeed a great way to relieve summer heat and it looks very appetizing too.
Old Huang took it without hesitation, tasted the icy cold porridge, found it very appetizing, and drank it all in one breath.
His stomach felt better and the heat was gone. Old Huang's temper improved a little and he looked at Du Yibai with more favor.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"I want to ask Director Huang, what is the process of our program?" Du Yibai asked with a flattering smile while continuing to fan Old Huang.
Old Huang lay still and asked her in a dragging voice, "What do you want to do?"
"I just want to be mentally prepared. I don't want the afternoon to be the same as the morning because I'm not fully prepared." Du Yibai bit his lip unwillingly and continued, "Making a fool of myself in public."
She just didn't know the process before, didn't know she had to dance on the beach with waves, and didn't know she had to learn surfing. If she had known earlier, she would at least be mentally prepared and plan ahead.
If I can't make a big splash, at least I can't embarrass myself.
Old Huang also despised her for being so shameful and snorted, "You just don't know your own weight. You don't have the diamond drill, but you insist on taking on porcelain work. If you don't suffer the loss, who will?"
The smile on Du Yibai's face froze. This old man was really rude in his words.
She didn't dare show any displeasure, so she could only continue to smile and say, "That's why I need your guidance. If you don't help me more, how can I improve on my own?"
Du Yibai's flattery was directed at Lao Huang, and Lao Huang felt good about it, but he still couldn't help but feel that she was troublesome.
"I just took a few of your specialties, and you keep asking me for help. Do you think I'm a good person? It's really troublesome."
Du Yibai heard that the old man thought the money was too little and was unwilling to help with the work.
But she just kept smiling and didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Old Huang was just complaining casually and had no intention of asking Du Yibai to pay now.
After complaining, he searched left and right during the break and right, and it took him half a day to find his copy of the script, which he threw to Du Yibai.
The entire script is very new, with no signs of having been opened.
"Just watch it here and don't take it out, otherwise it will have a bad influence." said Lao Huang.
Du Yibai agreed repeatedly.
She took it and quickly opened it. The first few pages were the procedures that had already been completed, and the procedures from the fourth page onwards were for the afternoon.
When he turned to the fourth page, Du Yibai's eyes lit up and he read the contents carefully.
"Have you finished reading?" Old Huang was urging her. The break time was almost over and the people who had gone out to eat were about to come back.
"I've finished reading it. Thank you, Director Huang." Du Yibai closed the script and returned it to Director Huang with a happy smile.
Old Huang snorted when he saw her happy expression.
"Hey, you're so happy just reading a script, do you have some new ideas?"
Du Yi smiled easily and said, "No, no, what kind of ideas could I have? I just want to thank Director Huang for your enthusiastic help."
Old Huang poured a bucket of cold water on him: "It doesn't matter if you have some tricks, but don't mess them up in the end. That will make you look bad, not me."
Du Yi said with a forced smile, "I will follow Director Huang's instructions and will not embarrass myself again."
As she turned to leave, she rolled her eyes at Lao Huang.
But in the blink of an eye, he immediately put on a happy smile, opened the door of the lounge, and happened to bump into the staff who were returning from lunch.
Du Yibai greeted them with a smile, and left feeling refreshed, with even his steps light and brisk.
Several staff members looked at Du Yibai's brisk footsteps, and then looked at Lao Huang in the room.
They winked at each other and couldn't help but gossip.
"Why are they always together? Before the show started this morning, she also came to the lounge to look for Lao Huang."
"Old Huang has always been speaking up for her and supporting her."
"They won't be?"
"Eh~ No way…"
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence."
A few people who felt they had discovered a shocking secret suddenly became very secretive and dared not continue discussing it.
Instead, I created a small group and chatted in the group.
Du Yibai didn't know that her visit to Lao Huang had been misunderstood. She immediately found a deserted place and called her family.
"You finally answer the phone?" Du's mother asked unhappily.
Du Yibai said: "I'm recording a program, I don't have time to answer the phone."
Du's mother: "How dare you say that? Look at what you recorded."
Father Du: "Yibai, your performance today was really bad. If I had known you were like this, I would have stayed away from the TV show."
Mother Du: "You have no idea how many people are waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. Take Aunt Wang next door. I asked her to come to my house to watch you on TV, but she said she had to go to the market to buy some goods and didn't have time to watch TV. After you fell, she came to visit us and asked if you fell hard and if you were hurt. Was she just caring about you? She was just here to see my family make a fool of themselves."
Father Du: "Yibai, you made your mother and I lose face today. Do you know that all our relatives and friends know about it? Where can we put our old faces?"
Du Yibai was tired of hearing these words, so he suppressed his anger and interrupted them.
"Mom and Dad, could you please shut up and listen to me?"
"Your father and I don't have any money. You've almost drained all the money in the house."
Money, money, money, more money!
Du Yibai closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself.
Her parents always mentioned how much they spent on her, every day, all the time, for fear that she would forget and not pay it back later.
Du Yibai gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not asking for money, don't worry."
Mother Du: "Okay, tell me what's going on."
Du Yibai: "I remember my dad had a high school classmate named Jiang Yuezhou who worked at the South China Sea Institute here?"
Father Du: "You still remember this? He came when you were born, held you in his arms, and gave you a silver bracelet. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly mentioning me, your old classmate?"
Du Yibai felt relieved, knowing that he was not mistaken.
"We're going to the South China Sea Institute this afternoon for a tour and study. The teacher who will be hosting us is Jiang Yuezhou."
Father Du exclaimed, "What a coincidence!"
Du Yibai: "Dad, say hello to Uncle Jiang and tell him that I will be there soon. I will be among the people who visited today, so that he will have an idea."
Father Du pondered for a moment and did not answer.
Du Yibai: "That's it. I have something else to do. I'll hang up first."
Father Du listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone and did nothing for a long time.
Mother Du: "Jiang Yuezhou, haven't we been breaking up for a long time?"
Father Du crossed his arms and snorted.
At the beginning, he had an acquaintance who was helping a large enterprise to obtain bridge tolls. He said that the interest rate was 30 percentage points a year. The people he knew made a lot of money by lending bridge tolls, and they lived in big villas and drove million-dollar luxury cars.
Du's father was also tempted at the time, knowing that it would cost a lot of money to train Du Yibai into a star. Who wouldn't want to retire early?
But he didn't have much money at that time, so he thought about borrowing some from his friends and sharing the money if he made any.
The first person he thought of was Jiang Yuezhou. At that time, Jiang Yuezhou had no children and no partner. He saved all the money he earned, which was at least hundreds of thousands.
As a result, Jiang Yuezhou refused to lend the money when he heard it. Not only did he refuse to lend it himself, he also told their mutual classmates not to lend him money.
They said that the bridge toll that Mr. Du mentioned was a Ponzi scheme, and the people online were planning to make a quick buck and run away, and the people below would definitely lose everything.
At first, Du's father explained to Jiang Yuezhou in a kind way that the borrowers were large enterprises with decades of history, some of which were even listed. He knew people who had borrowed bridge loans and had received the money for several years. The money was paid on time every month and had never been delayed for a single day.
He also told Jiang Yuezhou the example of buying a house and a car with the help of bridge tolls.
However, Jiang Yuezhou refused to believe anything Du's father said and asked him to give him the contact information of the relevant personnel so that he could call the police.
Father Du finally found a project to make money, but Jiang Yuezhou repeatedly rejected him and cut off his way to borrow money. How could Father Du tolerate this?
He was so angry that he immediately broke off relations with Jiang Yuezhou and deleted all of Jiang Yuezhou's contact information.
Since he could no longer borrow money from his classmates, he borrowed some money from relatives and friends and raised about 100,000 yuan.
Then Du's father also received the installment interest for half a year, and encouraged several acquaintances to lend tens of thousands of yuan each, and he also received a rebate.
In the past six months, he had been dreaming of getting rich every day, calculating the rebates for bringing people and how much he could earn from the last payment.
As a result, Mr. Du’s dream only lasted for half a year. After half a year, the installment interest stopped arriving and the people upstream could not be contacted.
Only then did Mr. Du realize that he had been cheated.
The scammer took the money and left the country and has not been caught yet.
After Jiang Yuezhou was deleted, he never contacted Du's father again.
When the scammer absconded with the money, Jiang Yuezhou did not call to express his condolences, and Du's father was even more reluctant to contact him because he lost face.
We haven't been in touch for ten years.
Du's mother: "What should I do? Are you going to make this call or not?"
Father Du said angrily: "If I want to call, I need a phone."
Not to mention a contact number, Mr. Du doesn’t even have their classmates’ group.
Some of his old classmates had listened to his tricks and borrowed money to cross the bridge, but they all lost everything. He was too embarrassed to see his old classmates, and he didn't even dare to show up at class reunions over the years.
Du's mother: "What should we do then? Just ignore Yibai?"
Father Du hummed something, as if he was in a dilemma, but he didn't say anything.
Du's mother: "You should call and apologize. It's been so many years. Don't let Yibai be ignored because of your little past incident."
Mr. Du still couldn't bring himself to ask for Jiang Yuezhou's contact information, let alone apologize.
Father Du waved his hand impatiently, "Jiang Yuezhou should still remember Yibai. They helped choose her name. When Yibai turned one, he even gave her a silver bracelet. It was the most valuable among all her old classmates. This shows that he likes children, especially our Yibai. He and I have conflicts, so he wouldn't take it out on a child."
The more Father Du spoke, the more he felt he was right: "He's a man in his forties. How could he still argue with a child? He would lose points and wouldn't be able to hold his head up among us old classmates. Then, it wouldn't be me apologizing to him, but he would have to apologize to me."
Du's mother also thought it made sense. Jiang Yuezhou was an adult and shouldn't be angry with a child. After seeing Yibai, the grudges from the past might be gone.
Nanhaisoli.
Jiang Yuezhou sneezed several times.
"Teacher Jiang, you're not catching a cold, are you? Stay away from Professor Ming."
"But isn't there a TV station coming to interview Teacher Jiang this afternoon?"
"It's not an interview, it seems like a variety show."
"It's all the same. Teacher Jiang, can you please stop sneezing on TV and being unable to speak clearly? This will damage the image of our South China Sea Institute and make people think our people are not up to par."
Jiang Yuezhou: "My nose just feels uncomfortable. It can't be someone nagging me. It must be me who has a cold."
He gets a headache when he sees this group of bad friends.
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if he didn't insult him for a day, especially in front of his most respected teacher?
"For someone like you who cares so much about your image, it's very likely that you saw Professor Ming and didn't want to miss his lecture, so you're deliberately forcing yourself to stay. I say, stay away and don't actually infect Professor Ming with your cold."
The man they called Professor Ming was squatting on the ground. He turned around and looked at him when he heard this.
Jiang Yuezhou immediately said, "Teacher, I'm really fine. I'm in good health. Please continue to tell me what happened to the body of the baby whale."
Professor Ming looked up at him and said, "You should go take some medicine. It's so hot and cold now, and it's easy to catch a cold in an air-conditioned room."
"Okay, teacher." Jiang Yuezhou replied immediately and went back to his office to make a cup of cold medicine.
When we returned, the body of the baby whale had been dealt with.
This was something they encountered during their routine rescue missions at sea. The baby whale was already dead when they encountered it, so they brought it back to see if it could be made into a specimen.
Professor Ming also took off the disposable gloves on his hands, washed his hands and recorded the data.
Jiang Yuezhou walked over and said, "Teacher, you should have listened to what they said. A program crew is coming to interview you."
Professor Ming nodded and said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.
Jiang Yuezhou: "My boss asked me to go and give them a lecture, educate them on science, spark their interest, and help them understand the ocean and our work. Compared to you, I'm no match for you. If you hadn't gone out to sea to rescue people and weren't sure when you'd be back, I wouldn't have been able to do this. Now that you're back, I think you should go."
After Professor Ming finished writing the data and signed his name, he handed the notebook to Jiang Yuezhou.
"You explained it very well. You should have confidence."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Suddenly I heard the young female graduate students next to me talking.
"Will I be able to see Jing Ye later? Can I finally see my son?"
"What's so good about that unfilial son? My daughter Mingfu is still the cutest. I saw a cut of her surfing while I was having lunch. She looked so handsome. I want to learn surfing during my vacation too."
Jiang Yuezhou saw his teacher standing still and thought something was wrong with him. He walked over curiously and asked, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
Ming Bojun's face darkened and he asked, "Who's coming later?"
