Chapter 507
"Ding-ding-ding-ding~ Ding-ding-ding-ding~"
In the somewhat dim cabin, the classic Apple ringtone echoed in the room, waking up Yang Chaoyue from her sleep.
She followed the ringtone and reached for her phone. She opened her eyes with difficulty to look at the name of the caller, answered the call and put it to her ear: "Sister Meng, good morning."
"It's almost noon, and you're still saying good morning?" Meng Ziyi's voice came from the other side of the phone, "What time did you go to bed last night? Why haven't you woken up yet?"
"Is it almost noon?"
Yang Chaoyue sat up from the bed in a daze: "I also forgot what time I went to bed, and it's all your uncle's fault..."
As soon as she said this, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, and immediately stopped talking.
However, as soon as the words came out, how could the other party not hear it. Meng Ziyi's tone instantly rose eight degrees: "What uncle? You were with my uncle last night?"
Yang Chaoyue was now fully awake. Listening to the surprised voice of her bestie on the other side of the phone, her little head was working quickly to think about how to make up for it.
"What are you thinking about? I mean, my schedule was already quite full, but my boss suddenly arranged a job for me, so I had to stay up late and work overtime to catch the plane."
"Is that so?" Meng Ziyi asked half-doubtfully.
Objectively speaking, this explanation seems to be fine. But subjectively, her intuition always felt that something was wrong.
"That's it, otherwise?"
Yang Chaoyue deliberately said in a teasing tone: "Why, do you really want to call me aunt?"
"Go away! Stop it." Meng Ziyi snorted: "I tell you, you must stay away from my uncle. He is a playboy. You keep dangling in front of him. Be careful that he will eat you one day."
In fact, he has already eaten...
Yang Chaoyue grinned and said silently in her heart.
She changed the subject: "Why did you call me?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Xiaoye and I made an appointment to go out and play today, and I wanted to ask if you were with us in Jingbei." Meng Ziyi said: "But since you are busy, forget it, let's wait until next time."
"You didn't look for me when I was here before, and you looked for someone else as soon as I left, hum!"
"Oh, then I was also busy before, and I just happened to be free today, so I asked you out right away."
"You made an appointment with someone else before looking for me, you are not sincere to me at all!"
Yang Chaoyue's half-true and half-false "tantrum" caused Meng Ziyi to comfort her again and again, until she agreed to various "conditions", and then she was coaxed.
After being so disturbed, the "slip of the tongue" just now was also forgotten.
After ending the call, Yang Chaoyue looked at the phone and muttered softly: "Both of them are playboys, hum!"
After getting dressed and walking out of the cabin, the sun and sea breeze were greeted as soon as the door opened, which made people feel refreshed.
Arriving at the deck terrace, she saw Meng Bai standing in front of a barbecue grill, turning the ingredients quite skillfully.
She walked over, and the man turned around when he heard the footsteps, with a smile on his face: "Are you awake? I thought you were going to sleep for a while."
After that, he turned down the fire, wiped his hands, walked over, and looked the girl up and down: "Are you okay?"
"Don't worry, boss, it's okay."
Yang Chaoyue said, and bent her arms and made a gesture: "I'm very strong...hiss-"
She couldn't help frowning halfway through the words - her legs were a little weak, and there was a little pain in her body.
"What's the matter, this young warrior can't do it?"
Meng Bai teased, but still helped her sit down gently, and poured her a glass of warm water by the way.
"Thank you, boss."
"Why don't you change the name? It feels a bit weird to call you boss all the time."
"Change your name?"
Yang Chaoyue blinked, and a cunning look suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Then... little uncle?"
"Puff--"
Meng Bai almost spit out a mouthful of water in his mouth. After swallowing it for a long time, he turned his head and looked at him: "What did you call me just now?"
"Little uncle! Didn't you ask me to change my name?"
"Then why do you change it to this?"
"I'm Sister Meng's friend, it's so appropriate to call me that together with her."
Yang Chaoyue said, and deliberately changed her tone and continued to shout: "Little uncle, little uncle, little uncle..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Meng Bai stopped her, "Change to a more normal one, you can call me brother."
"If I call you brother, I will be of a different generation than Sister Meng."
"Then you can also call me dad." Meng Bai raised his eyebrows, "I remember it was quite smooth without you calling me that last night."
Yang Chaoyue's cheeks turned red instantly, and she couldn't help but recall all the bad scenes of last night in her mind. She stammered: "Then, then I'll still call you brother."
Meng Bai also recalled the scenes of last night.
And it must be said that Xiao Chaoyue's strong figure also adds a lot of new ways to play the game.
He can do it, it's okay.
Every time he sees the girl's innocent face filled with an attractive blush, Meng Bai can't help but want to start the next round.
Thinking of this, he felt the heat in his body begin to surge again. He picked up Yang Chaoyue who was still drinking water and laid her flat on the table while she was in a daze.
"Old, uh, brother, I'm hungry, why don't we eat first."
"Lunch will have to wait a while, let's order some appetizers first."
...
Until noon on the third day, the yacht that had been out at sea for two days and two nights finally returned to the port. Yang Chaoyue held Meng Bai for a long time, and finally reluctantly left with the team.
But when she left, her steps were a little weird. Seeing this, the assistant girl who came to pick her up had countless thoughts in her mind, but she wisely chose to turn a blind eye.
Meng Bai returned to work in a comfortable manner, and first cared about the cooperation situation of the "Three-Body Universe". The team of Arclight reported that everything went smoothly, but it would take some time for the equity handover.
He didn't rush too much. Anyway, the film and television adaptation was already in preparation, and the copyright development in other aspects could not be done in a day or two, so there was no rush.
Before returning to Beijing, he talked to Xu Fang again. The widow took advantage of the momentum of cooperation with Arclight to temporarily secure the position of chairman of Youzu.
"Mr. Meng, don't you really consider investing in Youzu?" Xu Fang said with a smile, "I think Youzu will develop better in your hands than in mine."
"Don't worry, let's talk about it after the handover of 'Three-Body Universe' is completed." Meng Bai laughed.
The game industry is also a part of the entertainment sector, and it is still a very important position. Arclight had considered whether to enter the game industry as a derivative of film and television entertainment.
But if you really want to do it, there is no need to go through Youzu. After all, this company mainly relies on marketing and promotion, and does not have any core productivity.
Xu Fang also knew the situation of her family, so she didn't ask too much, just thanked Meng Bai again.
After a day of rest in Shanghai, on the day Meng Bai returned to Beijing, the nomination list for this year's Magnolia Awards was released.
Most of the nominated works were nothing special, but in the nomination for "Best Actress", two eye-catching names appeared.
[Best Actress nomination, "The Golden Years", Li Qin.]
[Best Actress nomination, "The Rebel", Li Yitong.]
