Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Signed Artist She is very aggressive...
"Thank you." You Zhi raised his hand, picked up the kettle, and poured himself a glass of water.
Xu Qinghu looked at his fair and handsome face, and his eyes that slightly avoided her gaze, and thought that this person did not have much description in the novel. He was almost a cannon fodder to set off the male protagonist. He had no intersection with the female protagonist and the supporting actress. After the dating show ended, he returned to his own life.
If she didn't know the content of the novel, she wouldn't have paid any attention to him.
In the plot, You Zhi was also the first male guest to arrive, but she was eager to get in touch with Gu Jingchen and was particularly cold to You Zhi, making the already introverted You Zhi even quieter, leaving many netizens with a bad impression of her.
"You know what?" Xu Qinghu said with a smile, "I don't usually like waiting for people. You're the first one here today, and I think that's great."
You Zhi didn't expect to be praised. He curled his fingers secretly and explained softly: "...I didn't have classes in the afternoon, so I came early."
"Really?" Xu Qinghu blinked. "It seems I thought too much. I thought you came early on purpose."
"No," You Zhi's breathing paused slightly, and he said subconsciously: "I also arrived early. I didn't want to make the girl wait too long. I..."
"Thank you," Xu Qinghu looked at his gradually reddening ears and cheeks and said with a smile, "Because you came early, I felt less embarrassed to be alone."
You Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and his gaze finally fell on her face. Her eyelashes were long, like light wings. When she looked at people, there seemed to be tiny stars flashing in her eyes.
"You're welcome," You Zhi held up the water cup to shield his face, "Nice to meet you."
Xu Qinghu looked at his fingertips which had turned slightly white from exerting too much force, but did not expose his awkwardness caused by nervousness.
I naturally changed the subject, "What do you like to do besides attending classes?"
You Zhi put down his hand, looking much calmer, and answered seriously: "I like reading and traveling."
"What about you?" He looked at Xu Qinghu and asked in a low voice: "Do you have any hobbies?"
"My hobby is making money," Xu Qinghu said slowly, "and my favorite thing is looking at the numbers in my bank card. The more numbers there are, the happier I am."
You Zhi's eyes changed slightly, as if he didn't expect her answer to be so nakedly realistic.
They were broadcasting live, and if she mentioned any hobby, it would be better than her current one. There must have been many people blaming her in the live broadcast room.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qinghu seemed unaware of his concern. "Do you think I should have some very elegant hobbies?"
You Zhi shook his head. He looked at the girl opposite him and became more and more impressed by her.
[Holy crap, what is the fifth girl talking about? Her hobby is making money. What kind of answer is that? So vulgar!]
[+1, You Zhi already said she likes reading and traveling, so she just said no. I don't understand this answer.]
[Isn't everyone above short of money? Isn't it good for the fifth girl to like making money? This answer really makes me look at the fifth girl with new eyes. This answer is so good. Who doesn't like money!]
[When I first started watching, I thought the fifth female lead was definitely pretentious, but I didn't expect her to be so genuine. I kind of like her.]
[Of course, the more numbers on your bank card, the better. Who doesn't like making money? Those who don't like making money should get beaten up!]
[Am I the only one who thinks the fifth female lead is incredibly beautiful? You Zhi can't even meet her gaze.]
"Then what is your job?" You Zhi began to ask questions proactively.
If he was answering Xu Qinghu at the beginning, now he wanted to know more information about Xu Qinghu.
"My main job is to work with artists signed by management companies."
Rather than being exposed by the heroine's family and being caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, Xu Qinghu would rather speak out himself.
She is just an unknown person who has signed a contract. She went on the show for ulterior motives, so what?
[Artist? I knew that since the fifth female lead is so pretty, she must be an actress or internet celebrity. I didn't expect it to be true. So she's not really looking for a partner!]
[I don't like the fifth female lead. She joined the show purely to debut. People like her have ulterior motives!]
What the hell is the production team doing? Why are they casting guests with ulterior motives like this?! Can they just cast ordinary people?! I want to watch a love show about ordinary people!
You Zhi was obviously surprised, but he did not have any negative impression of Xu Qinghu. Instead, he asked, "So, does your agency agree to let you appear on a dating show?"
"Why are you so cute?" Xu Qinghu was amused by him. "I definitely have to report my appearance on a dating show, and my agency contract doesn't prohibit me from dating. If I'm not on a dating show to find a partner, what else am I doing?"
But there are still many voices questioning her in the live broadcast room.
Xu Qinghu: "Of course, if being on a dating show can get me more job opportunities and help me earn more money, that would be even better."
She is frank and does not hide her desire for money, fame and fortune.
She came to the dating show to find a partner and also to gain fame. There is nothing to hide.
[The fifth girl's words sent my heart racing. How could she say that?]
[What's wrong with her being an entertainer? She's not hiding anything. Don't be too harsh on the fifth female lead.]
[I really like the fifth female character now. She really means what she says.]
[I don't know if You Zhi likes it or not, but I've already become a fan.]
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside again.
Xu Qinghu raised his eyes slightly and saw a slender figure passing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Through the light and shadow, he could clearly see the custom-made suit the man was wearing, with broad shoulders and long legs, and an imposing demeanor.
The wind chimes at the door rang pleasantly, and the glass door was pushed open.
The face of the person who came appeared clearly in Xu Qinghu's eyes. He had handsome eyebrows, deep eyes, an elegant and calm posture, and an indescribable air of nobility.
The moment he saw Xu Qinghu, the man's eyes moved slightly and he walked into the restaurant.
"Hello," he nodded to Xu Qinghu, sat down next to You Zhi, and with a faint smile on his face, he introduced himself: "I am Du Yanting."
"Hello," Xu Qinghu was not intimidated by his outstanding appearance. "My name is Xu Qinghu."
Du Yanting nodded, "Are you having dinner with all the male guests today?"
"Yes," Xu Qinghu explained, "I came three days late, so I have the privilege of eating with everyone."
"It seems that besides you, the female guests in the cabin will also date the male guest who just arrived."
Xu Qinghu smiled but did not respond.
Du Yanting is a more difficult character in the novel. He comes from a wealthy family, and "Love Diary" is a program invested by his mother. He has always wanted to become popular again, but has yet to make a splash.
In order to revive the show, the production team went to great lengths to find several guests with extraordinary backgrounds, including investor Du Yanting.
Du Yanting's counterpart female guest is Qiao Wanshu.
Both of them come from wealthy families. If they can join forces, it will naturally be the biggest attraction for the program.
Unfortunately, although the program team has selected the guests, they cannot formulate a script and control the development of the relationships between the guests.
Although Du Yanting participated in the show, he did not develop a relationship with Qiao Wanshu, nor did he hold hands with anyone, and finally left the show alone.
As for whether he has ever liked Qiao Wanshu, there are several subtle hints in the novel. He had a good impression of Qiao Wanshu at first, but with the addition of the male protagonist He Shengnian and the second male protagonist Gu Jingchen, he quickly gave up the competition for Qiao Wanshu.
He comes from a wealthy family and has outstanding abilities. He has no shortage of suitors like Qiao Wanshu around him, so there is no need for him to lose his composure for her.
Furthermore, with the love-hate relationship between Qiao Wanshu and others, the show's resurgence was inevitable, and there was no need for him to continue to contribute.
After Du Yanting arrived, the originally harmonious atmosphere seemed a little stagnant.
Xu Qinghu didn't remain silent. He smiled and said, "I haven't asked about your age or job yet."
Du Yanting said slowly, "I'm 29 years old and I'm the manager of a family business."
Xu Qinghu nodded.
"What about you?" Du Yanting asked, "What job are you doing now?"
You Zhi also looked at Xu Qinghu with some worry in his eyes.
Xu Qinghu remained calm and said, "I'm 22 years old and a newly signed artist."
Du Yanting was also stunned for a moment, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Xu Qinghu looked helpless: "Why are they all acting like this? Is it weird that I'm participating in this show?"
"How could that be?" Du Yanting came back to his senses in an instant, and his eyes looked at Xu Qinghu without any change. "I look forward to seeing your performance on the screen one day."
Xu Qinghu's eyes curved, "I'll lend you my good wishes."
Du Yanting rested his fingertips lightly on the table when he heard this. "With your qualifications, you should directly participate in a talent show or enter the entertainment industry. This will be more helpful for your future development."
"Thank you for your concern," Xu Qinghu looked into his eyes, a smile still on his lips, "but who says celebrities can't participate in dating shows and find someone they like?"
Du Yanting was stunned again. He thought Xu Qinghu would be embarrassed by his question and create a scene, but Xu Qinghu immediately asked him back.
"Of course not," Du Yanting chuckled, "I'm just a little curious."
Xu Qinghu: "Being on the show not only allows me to meet more friends, but I also get paid. Doesn't this count as my job?"
"That makes sense," Du Yanting tactfully decided not to continue the conversation. "Welcome."
Du Yanting actually feels like he can't win over the fifth girl. I thought the fifth girl would be ashamed of herself when she saw him.
[What about the fifth female character? Her name is Xu Qinghu. She's very open and honest. Why should she be afraid of Du Yanting?]
[I suddenly felt that Du Yanting was no better than that.]
[However, is it possible that Du Yanting realized that the fifth female character seemed open and honest, but was actually very aggressive, so he stopped.]
"Would you like some water?" You Zhi pushed the kettle to Du Yanting's side, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Du Yanting said thank you and picked up the kettle to pour himself a glass of water.
Not long after, two footsteps were heard outside.
Xu Qinghu knew very well who was coming, but she still looked expectant.
