Chapter 424 Boss, he seems to have made a fortune
Qiu Manman found a good excuse and said apologetically, "I'll pay the bill. Sorry, I have something to do at home and need to go back."
Having said that, he left leisurely.
Huo Ji sighed softly, "Was I dazzled just now?"
Huo Miao also followed suit and said, "Maybe my eyes are blurry, otherwise how could I see Qiu Manman answer the alarm?"
Both of them fell silent.
Only after getting on the car did Qiu Manman breathe a sigh of relief.
"I don't know what's wrong with them. They don't want to work during this good time, but have to stick to me."
"Fortunately, I've gotten out of it."
The cold wind slowed down a bit, and Qiu Manman found Xiao Liu's contact information on her phone.
She tried to call.
No one answered the first time.
The second time, the third time, the fifth time, the seventh time.
I called but no one answered.
The results are clear.
Xiao Liu felt guilty, so guilty that he didn't dare to answer the phone.
"Xiao Liu, you'd better not let me run into you."
Unable to contact Xiao Liu for the time being, Qiu Manman went to visit Bai Niao.
She has always had the address of Bai Niao's house. Before, there was no need to go to their house to discuss the details. Today, she happened to have nothing to do, and she just happened to communicate some ideas about the script.
The most important thing is that I happened to be close to it.
Qiu Manman took the elevator to Bai Niao's house and rang the doorbell.
Across the door, Bai Niao held the bowl and wondered, "Who will come at this time?"
"Who knows?" Xiao Liu took a mouthful of hot rice and shrugged, "Anyway, it can't be Qiu Manman."
Shiratori: "Of course not. Sister Man has never come to my house."
Xiao Liu secretly rejoiced, "That's great, I knew you were safe here."
As soon as the door opened, Qiu Manman stood at the door in a proper manner and greeted in a friendly manner, "Teacher Bai Niao, I am sorry for coming to visit you out of the blue."
"No, no, no, no, not abrupt..."
The white bird stumbled and stumbled, and kept looking inside out of the corner of its eye.
Xiao Liuhun's body stiffened.
who?
Who is coming?
——Autumn is long.
Xiao Liu was thinking about where to hide.
Bai Niao wasted time at the entrance, "Sister Man, I'm so surprised. Your arrival has brought glory to my humble abode."
"What a coincidence! I'm having dinner right now. Would you like to have dinner with me, Sister Man?"
The white bird deliberately blocked Qiu Manman's gaze from looking into the house.
Qiu Manman didn't have the bad habit of looking around randomly the first time she went to someone else's house.
But, I was asked to change into slippers.
When she lowered her head, she saw a pair of white sneakers.
"This pair of shoes looks familiar. Xiao Liu seems to have a pair."
Bai Niao leaned against the shoe cabinet and hummed, "I bought it with her. Do you like it? I'll send you a link."
"No."
After changing into slippers, Qiu Manman sat on the sofa in the living room.
Bai Niao quickly cleaned up the dishes, took out new dishes and chopsticks, and served a bowl of rice for Qiu Manman.
"Sister Man, come and eat. If you don't eat, you are looking down on me."
Qiu Manman held the bowl.
Such a big tall hat is put on.
You can't not eat it.
Qiu Manman had no choice but to sit at the dining table with her bowl in her hand. She sat in the same place where Xiao Liu had sat before.
"Mr. Bai Niao, I'm here to discuss the script with you. Are you free this afternoon?"
“It’s a must!”
Bai Niao's heart was pounding and his eyes were darting around.
She was wondering where Xiao Liu had hidden.
The layout of their house meant that Xiao Liu couldn't hide in the bedroom.
That only leaves the bathroom.
I just checked the kitchen and there was no one there.
Bai Niao silently prayed in her heart that Qiu Manman would not go to the toilet, otherwise Xiao Liu would definitely be discovered.
What a coincidence today too.
Coincidental's mother opened the door for Coincidental, and Coincidental arrived home.
"Sister Man, how is it? Is my cooking skill good?"
"Not bad. You eat five dishes by yourself at home?" Qiu Manman glanced at the dishes on the table.
"Ah... yes, actually it's just today that I'm a bit extravagant." Bai Niao smiled bitterly.
This feeling of covering up a lie is really too difficult for her as an honest person.
Bai Niao was extremely nervous right now and had no appetite at all. She pretended to be calm and picked up her phone to send a message to Xiao Liu to discuss the matter.
[I will lead Sister Man to the bedroom later. You can take the opportunity to leave here. It is too dangerous.]
Dong~ message alert sound.
As soon as the white bird sent the message, it heard a clear and pleasant prompt tone.
The reminder sound is still from Qiu Manman.
Qiu Manman turned around and picked up her phone. "Who sent you a message?"
"Let me see..."
The white bird's hair stood on end.
Something bad is happening!
Xiao Liu's actions are not clean at all. How could he escape and leave his phone behind? !
Xiao Liu, who was hiding in the bathroom, was also helpless.
She ran in and hid it only to find out that she had forgotten to take her phone after the game.
Autumn is a casual glance.
"Lead to the bedroom?"
Qiu Manman got up with a bang, and the note on this message was "White Bird".
The white bird was sitting right in front of her.
How can you send a message to yourself?
Qiu Manman carefully observed the phone and finally laughed out loud, "I understand."
"Is Xiao Liu here?"
She lowered her voice.
The white bird gritted its teeth.
Qiu Manman was playing with the phone in her hand, not panicking, and making a call with her own phone.
I called Xiao Liu, and sure enough, a call popped up on the phone in my hand.
Bai Niao: "Sister Man, look at you. It's okay to be beautiful, but do you have to be so smart?"
"Can you give others a chance to live?"
"Teacher Bai Niao, don't worry about it. This is a matter between Xiao Liu and me and has nothing to do with you."
What is certain is that Xiao Liu definitely doesn't know what is happening outside.
Only then did Qiu Manman start to pay attention to the furnishings in the house.
"Teacher Shiratori, where is Xiao Liu hiding?"
"I won't eat Xiao Liu."
Teacher Bai Niao hugged her body and curled up on the stool. Under the intimidation of Qiu Manman's eyes, she pointed to the bathroom door.
Qiu Manman cleared her throat and said, "I'm so depressed. I called Xiao Liu but he didn't answer."
"Teacher Shiratori, do you know where Xiao Liu is?"
The white bird wanted to cry.
"I have no idea."
Qiu Manman: "Then I'll make a bold guess."
Xiao Liu felt something was wrong, and he felt panicky but couldn't put his finger on it.
Hearing the explosion, Qiu Manman pushed open the bathroom door and saw Xiao Liu.
"It turns out he was hiding in Teacher Bai Niao's bathroom."
"Come out!"
Xiao Liu was carried out by her like a tool.
"Manman, I was wrong."
"There's an old saying that goes, 'You look for something everywhere but it's easy to find it.' I want to find you but I can't find you."
"I didn't expect you to be hiding in Bai Niao's house."
Xiao Liu cried, "I'm really unlucky. Even drinking cold water can cause my teeth to get stuck."
"I trust you so much and eat with you, but you let Huo Ji eat with me?"
Xiao Liu pretended to be surprised, "The person you had dinner with was Huo Ji? That's weird."
"It's no use pretending any more."
Qiu Manman's expression was very indifferent.
Xiao Liu seemed to see Si Zhuo's inner core from beneath this cold face.
As a couple, they have been together for a long time and have become more and more alike in every way.
It’s all Si Zhuo’s fault, he corrupted Qiu Manman.
"Okay, okay, you just asked me not to take Huo Miao with me. If I let Huo Ji go, it won't be considered a violation of our agreement."
Hearing her cunning excuse, Qiu Manman pinched her arm, "Then you don't know, not only Huo Ji went, Huo Miao was also there."
"Huo Miao?" Xiao Liu looked confused.
"Huo Ji wanted to talk to me about a profitable collaboration, and I agreed."
"Huo Miao wants to beat me up to vent his anger."
Qiu Manman ate her meal with big mouthfuls.
The white bird beside him made envious sounds.
"Sister Man, you are surrounded by handsome men."
"You know it again?" Qiu Manman is now afraid of those men who are interested in her.
Can you be more restrained?
When Si Zhuo heard this, she found it difficult to explain.
Bai Niao clicked on the hot search term, "Sister Man, you finished your meal with two men one foot, and then you came to my place to have lunch with me the next foot, which made me feel flattered."
"?"
Qiu Manman’s name is on the hot search again.
Ever since the filming of the variety show ended, she has become desensitized to her own name.
"How come they are still trending on the Internet?"
Xiao Liu also enjoyed the excitement.
After reading a few posts on the square, she was overwhelmed with laughter. "I am dying of laughter. How can there still be people who speculate that you two have no feelings for each other?"
"A couple in name only?"
"What else? You only care about interests but not love."
"Aren't these people talking nonsense? Si Zhuo likes you so much, but netizens are selectively blind again."
Bai Niao: "Real couples are the best."
"No matter who gets divorced, Si Zhuo will never get divorced."
Qiu Manman nodded in agreement.
"Why don't you go on Weibo to clarify?"
"Thank you for your concern. I will clarify."
Qiu Manman rolled her eyes at Xiao Liu beside her.
Xiao Liu touched his temples, feeling embarrassed.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"I feel guilty for causing us to be misunderstood by netizens for no reason. My heart is broken and I wish I could bear these misunderstandings for you."
"If I had known, I wouldn't have booked that restaurant. But you have to blame Huo Ji for this. It was Huo Ji who liked that restaurant."
"Take my punch." Qiu Manman punched her without hesitation.
After receiving this punch, Xiao Liu felt relieved.
"I'm also willing to help you clarify if you need it."
"Most of the netizens here are a mixed bunch."
Qiu Manman didn't take them too seriously.
Clarification is just a show of affection.
When she returns to Jiashui Bay, we will show our love.
Then those netizens will be blinded.
At half past two, Bai Niao turned on his laptop.
"I was struggling with whether to add a tragic character in the script, even though this short play is lighthearted and cheerful."
"But I think if you want the audience to have a lasting impression and remember this short play, you need to add a brilliant tragic character to elevate the theme."
"I think the same thing as you. What do you think about just posting the role of Chen Linxi?"
Qiu Manman looked through the outlines and found that the most suitable role was that of Chen Linxi.
Xiao Liu has the mind of a businessman, "This way, his role will be increased."
"Among these villains, Chen Linxi's face is too prominent, and the audience that the skit serves are mostly women."
"Everyone watches short films. Who doesn't want to see a pleasing face?"
"In our drama, we have a face that is pleasing to the eye."
"Then there's still the unforgettable storyline left."
Bai Niao understood clearly, "Just mention Chen Linxi's role as the second male lead."
“Good idea.”
“Marketing has a buzzword.”
They discussed it and decided.
Xiao Liu was happy for a moment, then thought of the negative information about Chen Linxi.
"Whether Chen Linxi retires after this drama or continues to work in the entertainment industry, there should be no negative news about her when our drama is airing."
Qiu Manman's eyes were bright, and she couldn't hide her smile. "Leave it to me. I'll supervise Chen Linxi to clean himself up."
Shiratori: "He is also a victim. Although he is not a perfect victim, at least his reputation will not be as bad as before."
…
End of April.
S University organized a grand celebration.
Qiu Manman also got the news.
Chen Linxi originally did not have the opportunity to go on stage, so he sought help from the vice president, who was known as his ex-girlfriend.
Chen Linxi had a way to get the vice president to agree to co-host.
On the first day of the celebration, S University was very busy.
Qiu Manman contacted Chen Linxi before coming to school.
Chen Linxi met her at the school gate.
"No one else is coming with you?"
"Teacher Shiratori will come later, and a friend of mine went to park the car."
Chen Linxi handed over a black mask.
"Put it on. I have a bad reputation now. If you walk with me, people will gossip a lot."
"What a joke." Qiu Manman didn't care. "Why would I be afraid of people spreading gossip?"
“…”
I guess not many people dare to say that autumn is long.
Chen Linxi comforted himself and felt relieved.
"Chen Linxi, wait a moment."
Qiu Manman stopped him.
Chen Linxi was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, and had a slim figure. As soon as he stood under the tree, he looked like a cool and elegant male god.
Qiu Manman agrees with his looks.
"You look much better than before. It seems you are taking good care of yourself."
Chen Linxi said solemnly: "Well, I have learned a lot about performing arts recently."
"Filming is very tiring. If I'm not in good health, I'm afraid I'll faint on the set. I don't want to be so embarrassed."
Qiu Manman: "Ruzi is teachable."
Chen Linxi chuckled.
"I heard that you are the host. You were not keen on this kind of occasion before. Are you planning to clear yourself this time?" Qiu Manman asked quietly.
Chen Linxi did not hide it, "I listen to you. This is the opportunity I'm looking for."
"I'm watching you from the audience."
Bai Niao Shan Shan was late, "Am I not late?"
"No, no."
Seeing her panting, Chen Linxi begged, "I'll go get you a bottle of water."
"What a sweet and thoughtful child."
White Bird is extremely satisfied.
Chen Linxi quickly bought some water and when he went back to find them along the same route, he ran into several uninvited guests.
"You again."
Chen Linxi frowned slightly.
The yellow-haired leader walked up to him, patted his face frivolously, and tried to snatch the water from his hand.
"Chen Linxi, you've learned your lesson. You knew we would come to watch you as the host, and you even bought some water."
"Wow, you're willing to buy a bottle of water for 15 yuan."
The yellow-haired henchman said, "Boss, he seems to have made a fortune."
"Get rich?"
The yellow-haired boss was thinking about taking money from him again.
Chen Linxi snatched the water and said, "This is not for you. From today on, don't come to me. If you cause me trouble again, I won't miss our friendship."
"What?"
"Can you repeat that?"
"How bizarre! The little bastard who used to be beaten and scolded dares to speak to me in this tone."
The yellow-haired boss was angry.
"Chen Linxi, have you become rich? Why don't you wear your washed-out shirt? Buy a new one."
The yellow-haired follower discovered some details.
The yellow-haired boss also began to feel uneasy.
He looked closely, reached out and grabbed it, and stroked the fabric of the clothes with his palm.
You've never eaten pork before you've seen a pig run.
This is not some cheap stall clothing.
The yellow-haired boss believed what his henchman said. After not seeing Chen Linxi for a short period of time, he did become rich.
