Chapter 383 No girl can refuse to shine
Song Zhi wanted to go back with Meng Bai at night, but he persuaded him to stop, saying that he was at a critical moment of changing situation and had a lot of things to do.
Seeing that he had something important to do, Song Zhi did not force him to accompany him. But before leaving, he reminded him to go to the Golden Eagle Festival next month together.
"Golden Eagle Festival?" Meng Bai asked curiously: "Which drama are you nominated for?"
"Sparrow."
"Isn't your role the second female lead?"
"It's the second female lead, but the first female lead didn't sign up, so it's only me." Song Zhi explained.
Meng Bai thought about it and realized that the first female lead of the drama "Sparrow" is Zhou Dongyu, but she is on the movie route. Although she also shoots TV series from time to time, she basically does not participate in the TV series awards.
If she is awarded, the bonus is not great, and if she is not awarded, it will affect her personality, so it is better not to participate.
For this reason, the crew of "Sparrow" only reported Song Zhi when they signed up, after all, the role of "Li Xiaonan" was quite outstanding when it was broadcast at that time.
In fact, it can't be considered a leak, because the name of the Golden Eagle Award for the female lead is originally called "Audience Favorite Actress". From the perspective of "audience favorite", Song Zhi's "Li Xiaonan" is much more reliable than Zhou Dongyu's "Xu Bicheng".
As for Meng Bai, the one selected is naturally "Peace Hotel", and Arc Light currently has only this one TV series aired.
Similar to the last Magnolia Award, this time the Golden Eagle Award nominated a total of four awards-TV Series Overall Award, Best Screenwriter, Most Favorite Actor, and Most Favorite Actress.
However, both director Yang Lei and leading actors Qin Hao and Qin Lan are filming, and they think they can't win any awards, so they have already stated in advance that they will not be present.
Relatively speaking, there is still some hope for the TV series overall award. Even if the "Best TV Series" cannot be won, it is not bad to have an "Excellent TV Series". As a producer, Meng Bai is naturally the most suitable candidate to receive the award.
He originally planned to go, but in front of Song Zhi, he pretended to think about it for a while before agreeing to "accompany her", which made the young lady leave happily.
Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief after solving one-third of the problem, but he did not completely relax because there were still two "tough battles" to fight.
Neither Teacher Li nor Boss Li were as easy to coax as Song Zhi.
Especially Li Yitong, who had known Meng Bai for too long and knew his details very well, it was difficult for him to fool her with just a few nice words.
Alas, Meng Bai sighed and decided to take it one step at a time and solve Teacher Li first.
Thinking of this, he called back Hua Yan, who had been hiding for half a day, and left the company after asking a few questions, and then went straight to the airport.
...
Shanghu, Jing'an Shanghai TV Building.
"Teacher Li, you have worked hard today." The TV station's program director greeted politely.
"No, no, it should be, you are the ones who have worked hard."
"You are welcome." The director smiled warmly and said, "The program recording was very successful. Our program group will communicate with your team about the specific broadcast matters later. It's quite late today, you should rest early."
"Okay, you should rest early too." Li Qin responded with an embarrassed smile.
She had been in Shanghai for many years before, and had come to Dragon TV to record programs more than once or twice, but she had never enjoyed such warm and polite treatment as today.
From the director of the program group to the staff who were in charge of the connection, they basically greeted her with a smile.
This must have something to do with her rising status. After all, she is now the heroine of a movie with a box office of 800 million yuan, but she knew in her heart that it was more because of her relationship with "that guy".
When she thought of this, her originally good mood suddenly became gloomy.
Humph, she had known that the bastard was a playboy, but after seeing the actual news, she still couldn't help but get angry.
The key is, he hasn't called her yet. Does he still want to wait for her to take the initiative to find him? You know, tomorrow is...
Rolling her eyes, Li Qin silently adjusted her mood. She has decided that unless this guy appears in front of her before tomorrow night, she will never pay attention to him this time.
Well, absolutely not!
This sentence will never be changed!
The conditions will never be relaxed!
After packing up, Li Qin went downstairs with the assistant team. After exiting the elevator and entering the parking lot, she thought the driver had already driven the car over, but unexpectedly, the assistant Jiajia ran over and told her with a strange look that there was something wrong with the car.
"Is it serious?" Li Qin was thinking about something, not paying attention to the expression of her assistant, and asked casually.
"Well, it's a bit troublesome... maybe we need to find someone to fix it."
Jiajia introduced the situation, and then hurriedly said: "But we have contacted another car to come, so it doesn't affect it."
"Well, okay. Then you tell them that if the car can't be fixed for a while, we can wait until tomorrow to fix it. Let's go back and rest today." Li Qin instructed.
Jiajia responded, and then took her to another car.
Li Qin got in the car without thinking much, and turned around to see Jiajia standing outside without getting in the car. She couldn't help but said strangely: "Come up, go back and go to bed early."
"I'm sorry, Sister Qinqin, it was President Meng who forced me to do this!" Jiajia bowed deeply to her, shouted loudly, and then ran away in a hurry.
Li Qin was still thinking about what that sentence meant, when she suddenly found in panic that the electric door had slowly started to close, and the driver in the driving seat started the car and drove out.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Li Qin shouted at the driver, "Stop the car quickly, or I'll call the police!"
As she said that, she wanted to take out her phone from her bag. As a result, when she lowered her head, she tragically found that her things were all with the assistant.
This was very embarrassing.
The driver in a hat didn't say anything, but just glanced at her through the rearview mirror, and then chuckled.
"Heh."
"..."
Li Qin's expression froze, she was very familiar with this voice.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the familiar back of the driver, and suddenly reached out to take off his hat.
"Asshole, I knew it was you!"
"Hey, hey, girl, please be gentle, I'm still driving, be careful of the next car full of lives. When the news comes out tomorrow, people will think we are committing suicide for love." Meng Bai said while holding the steering wheel tightly to avoid being affected by the girl's actions behind him.
"Bah! Only a ghost would commit suicide for love with you!" Li Qin said angrily.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you, saying something casually at this time of night may attract some unclean things."
"Haha, do you think I will believe you?"
Li Qin said stubbornly, paused for a while, and then carefully put her hands together and bowed to the surroundings.
Meng Bai watched her actions in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Li Qin blushed when she saw this, and then sat in the back seat with a stern face, not saying anything.
The car drove eastward in silence all the way, and finally stopped at a park by the Suzhou River.
"Teacher Li, please get off."
Looking at Meng Bai standing outside the car door, Li Qin snorted, but still walked down.
In late September, the temperature in Shanghai was not bad during the day, but it was a bit cool at night. Li Qin came out of the TV station, and her clothes were not too thick. A gust of night wind blew, and she couldn't help but groped her arms.
But then, she felt warm and a coat was put on her body.
"It's cold at night, put it on." Meng Bai said.
Li Qin muttered softly, knowing that it was cold but still took her to this remote place, but she still put on the coat obediently.
After following Meng Bai and turning left and right for a while, she was wondering where they were going, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
I saw a tent-like pavilion on a flat ground surrounded by tall trees. The soft light in the pavilion shone on the white tables and chairs. There were dotted light strips around the pavilion, and in the distance there were a few staff members who seemed to be chefs busy at work.
Meng Bai walked to the table, moved a chair and made an inviting gesture. Li Qin thought to herself that she must not fall for this guy's sugar-coated bullet, but her body still walked over and sat down involuntarily.
Meng Bai chuckled, waved to the staff in the distance, and then sat down opposite.
After a while, a waiter came over with a tray with a hemispherical lid on it. Judging from the posture on the table, it didn't seem to be light.
The waiter glanced at Meng Bai, and when he saw him nod, he opened the lid. In an instant, a rich and spicy aroma filled the pavilion, making people salivate unconsciously.
"Try it." Meng Bai said.
Li Qin looked at the big bowl of red oil in front of her. Even though she had decided not to speak just now, she couldn't help but say, "Why is there a pot of crayfish at this time?"
With this atmosphere and this scenery, shouldn't it be something like red wine steak? What is this crayfish!
"Just caught, very fresh." Meng Bai said.
Li Qin rolled her eyes. This is not a question of freshness or not. This is... Don't say it, this crayfish smells really good.
Because she had to record the show, she only ate a little nuts and the like at night. She didn't dare to eat more. It was just when she was hungry. A pot of fragrant, shiny and red crayfish was placed in front of her. It was really hard not to have a big appetite.
Thinking of this, Li Qin no longer struggled, put on gloves, picked up a crayfish and started eating.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Meng Bai took another bottle of beer from the side and opened it, and then poured a glass for each person. At the same time, he signaled the waiter to continue with other dishes.
Li Qin ate a mouthful of lobster and a sip of wine, and her eyes narrowed as she ate.
I have to say, except for the strange atmosphere, crayfish and beer are really much better than red wine and steak.
Sure enough, this is a midnight snack more suitable for Chinese babies.
"Did you ask someone to prepare these?" Li Qin couldn't help asking.
Although she was still angry, it had dissipated a lot compared to before.
Anyway, this guy was still very nervous about himself.
"Yeah, come here to prepare during the day, and I'll wait for you at the TV station in the evening."
"Jia Jia, this little traitor, actually betrayed me, I'll fire her later."
"That's right." Meng Bai nodded.
Li Qin was not satisfied: "Hey, do you still have any conscience? You forced me to do this!"
"So I plan to wait until you fire her, and then I will recruit Hu Guang. Then I can communicate with her about Teacher Li's usual habits and hobbies, life trajectory and so on..."
"You wish, I won't let Jia Jia go along with you." Li Qin said: "Rogue!"
"Wow, how am I a hooligan?"
"Isn't it considered flirting with girls everywhere?" Li Qin said with wide eyes.
Meng Bai smiled bitterly: "This is a misunderstanding, listen to my explanation."
"Okay, then you explain." Li Qin immediately said: "I'm listening."
The second time is familiar, Meng Bai immediately repeated the paragraph he had said before from beginning to end.
"So, you mean that someone wants to disrupt the situation by attacking you so that they can fish in troubled waters, so they made up the news?" Li Qin asked.
"Yes, that's it."
Li Qin frowned and thought about it. It must be said that Meng Bai's explanation was logically rigorous and interlocking, and it sounded quite true.
And the doubts he raised were also reasonable. Those articles that broke the news were indeed full of mistakes and omissions in many places. There were many details that she knew that didn't match.
But if she said that this guy was completely innocent, she didn't believe it.
Not to mention Song Zhi, the two had been in opposition when they were filming "The Pretender" before. And that Li Yitong, they have known each other for so long, are they just friends?
On the other hand, the two girls sounded like they were accidentally implicated, but it was hard to say whether they were trying to cover up the truth.
She frowned in some distress. This playboy always spoke in a way that seemed true and false, which made her a little unsure.
"You have a point." After thinking for a long time, Li Qin finally admitted it.
It's impossible not to admit it. This guy has always been like this, and she can't bear to leave him, so she can only choose to believe him.
Hearing the girl's words, Meng Bai felt a little relieved. But he didn't think that this would be enough, and he still needed to continue to consolidate it.
Thinking of this, he looked at the time, then picked up a chair and sat next to Li Qin.
"What are you going to do?"
"Close your eyes."
Li Qin looked at him suspiciously, but still closed her eyes obediently.
There was a rustling sound, and there seemed to be a faint crisp collision sound, as if he was taking something.
After waiting for a long time with curiosity, she finally heard Meng Bai say, "Okay."
Li Qin half-closed her eyes and opened them, first adapted to the light, and then looked at Meng Bai.
Then, she exclaimed with joy: "So beautiful!"
Under the night and the lights, a dark red gem was suspended in the air, shining brightly under the reflection of the lights.
This is a necklace, with gems embedded in the center, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.
"Is it for me?"
"Of course." Meng Bai stood up, "I'll help you put it on."
The exquisite necklace was wrapped around the white neck, and the dark red gem hung in front of the chest, which was even more brilliant against the white skin.
Seeing the girl playing with the gem on her chest, Meng Bai smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Li Qin said without hesitation.
But then, she looked at Meng Bai suspiciously, "You have already prepared to bribe me with this gift, right?"
"How could it be, this necklace has other meanings..."
"What?"
Meng Bai whispered, "Happy birthday."
In an instant, Li Qin's mouth bloomed with unconcealed joy.
Sure enough, I knew that this guy would definitely not forget.
She felt a little itchy in her throat, coughed lightly, and said muffledly, "You said it too early, it's not my birthday yet."
Meng Bai raised his hand and showed the dial on his wrist. The second hand slowly moved to the twelve o'clock position, and then overlapped with the other two hands.
"Okay, now it's time." Meng Bai said again, "Teacher Li, happy birthday."
Li Qin looked at the watch on his wrist, which was the one he gave him before. "You are still wearing this watch." "This is the one, you must be wearing it."
Hearing this, Li Qin couldn't help it anymore, and took a step forward and hugged Meng Bai excitedly. At that moment, she suddenly figured it out. Since she liked Meng Bai and didn't want to leave him, she had to fight to the end. No matter if they were ex-girlfriends or friends, she had to believe that she would "kill them" sooner or later. Speaking of which, her advantage was very great. Even in that nonsense article, she was placed in the position of "first wife". Those beautiful women would be defeated by her sooner or later!
Meng Bai naturally didn't know about the change in the girl's mentality in his arms, but he could still feel the other's emotional changes.
Obviously, this series of moves tonight has covered up this matter.
Sure enough, no girl can resist the glittering.
He had bought this necklace a long time ago, spending more than two million, mainly because of the gem.
And there are more than one, but three in total.
The first one was given to Li Yitong on her birthday at the beginning of the month, and the second one is the one tonight. The last one is still with him, waiting to be given to Song Zhi on her birthday next month.
The styles and colors of the gems of the three necklaces are different-he will not make the mistake of "wholesale" gifts-but the prices are similar, and they are fair.
Meng Bai hugged Li Qin and whispered for a while. Seeing that the night was getting darker and the temperature was getting lower, he felt that it was almost time to go back. As for the scene, there were naturally people from the party company to clean up. When I hired people before, I signed a confidentiality agreement, so there was no need to worry that they would tell the story.
Back in the car and closed the door, the cold wind disappeared, and it immediately became warm.
Li Qin looked at Meng Bai: "You just drank, you can't drive."
"I didn't say I wanted to drive, just ask someone to pick us up later."
Meng Bai said as he pulled Li Qin to his side, slowly put his big hand between her clothes, and kept muttering: "Come on, Teacher Li, it's so cold, shouldn't you exercise to keep warm?"
Li Qin naturally knew what the man wanted to do, but she was also in a state of excitement, so she didn't refuse, but took the initiative to lead him to the right position.
"Be gentle, the car is shaking a bit..."
"Wait a minute, you're pressing on my hair."
"No, don't do it outside, I just bought this dress..."
"..."
