Chapter 112 Gossip Magazine
Yue Ning got up very early. Every morning she started from home and ran all the way to the Ocean Park. The round trip was about ten kilometers, and Yue Ning managed to finish the run in thirty-five to forty minutes.
After running, she returned home and ran into her grandfather who was about to go out.
Hong Kong has many traditional customs, and his grandfather has also arranged them, so Yue Ning is not in a hurry.
Yue Ning went into the bathroom to take a shower, and rubbed her clothes and hung them up to dry.
We hired a part-time worker and a washing machine. We just need to wash our underwear by hand. Washing machines of this era do not have an automatic water filling function. You have to wait for the water to be added, and the cleaning power is not that good.
She went to the kitchen and got a bowl of multi-grain porridge, paired it with the scrambled eggs with preserved radish her grandfather had made, and turned on the TV to watch the news.
The first two Hong Kong and Macau Chef King Competitions only became popular in the later stages, but this time it was a hit from the very first episode.
If we say that at the beginning, everyone was attracted by Yue Ning's expression, after watching it, the audience began to empathize with Yue Ning.
They sent out a brainless cook, that's outrageous. If you don't want to compete, why don't you just say so?
When Baohualou's two hot dishes came out, the audience knew that Baohualou had no hope, but they were still praying silently in their hearts that Baohualou could win.
Seeing the unexpected turn of events, the master of Chunfenglou failed, most people in the industry knew that Baohualou won. The audience didn't know, and their hearts were hanging in the balance.
The last clay pot rice at Baohualou did not have the special effects seen in TV dramas, but it had the expressions of the judges and the audience on the scene, making the audience in front of the TV seem to smell the fragrance.
The Baohua Building team won the preliminary round, making it seem like Baohua Building had already won the championship.
The news about her and Qiao Junxian doing aerobics yesterday is still hot, and Hengtong's newspaper interviewed several housewives. Most of the interviewed older sisters said that they loved the young couple to death, even though they did aerobics like two ducks swaying.
After breakfast, Yue Ning put on some light makeup, put on a light gold jacquard double-breasted shirt over a white silk vest, and took out a string of blue water jade beads from the jewelry box.
Jadeite has always been valued for its green and purple colors, and jadeite with good water quality and good color is sought after. Currently, not many people like this kind of blue water jadeite. When Yue Ning and Cui Huiyi were shopping, Cui Huiyi took her to a friend's jewelry store to look at the goods.
She saw three strings of sky blue without a trace of gray, pure glass, and beads that had just come off the glue, casually placed on the counter next to her. Each one was priced at only a few thousand. After asking, the boss was willing to give her a 50% discount. Yue Ning chose two and asked the store to change them into a long necklace, which was just right for her outfit today.
Yue Ning took her handbag, changed into a pair of leather shoes, and went out.
It only takes about ten minutes to walk from home to Ningyan.
The neighbor lady on the same building came back from walking her dog. She became familiar with the lady and the dog.
"Morning, Auntie!"
"morning!"
Yue Ning bent down and touched the Samoyed's big head: "Good morning, Maomao."
Yue Ning said goodbye to her aunt and met two neighbors. Although she couldn't remember their names, she greeted them along the way. On the sea, she could see fishermen's sampans and sailboats. She walked a few steps and passed by a newsstand. Usually, she would stop to buy a couple of newspapers or magazines, and today was no exception.
She walked over and lowered her head to read newspapers and magazines. People at the stall looked at her. Yue Ning was already accustomed to the attention.
The stall owner usually recommends the latest magazines to her, but today he did the opposite and took a newspaper to cover the colorful gossip magazine next to it.
Yue Ning picked up a newspaper. A coup broke out in Afghanistan? Decades later, there is still unrest there.
"Boss, I want the new issue of Sunday Spring News, the one with Yue Ning."
Yue Ning held the newspaper and looked towards the voice. The fat middle-aged man who was walking towards them noisily stood there in a daze.
Yue Ning looked at the boss again, and the boss's eyes fell on the area covered by the newspaper.
Yue Ning reached out and opened the newspaper, which was a colorful magazine. She picked up the newspaper.
She is today's cover girl. In the photo, she is standing leisurely in a sports vest. There is also a small picture of her back doing pull-up bar at the bottom, with clear muscle lines.
Image caption: "Calm and peaceful, like an airport, strong and powerful, Mong Kok is invincible."
This magazine likes to dig up gossip about the entertainment industry and Hong Kong celebrities. Almost every issue of the magazine features beautiful actresses in scantily clad clothes, and the target customers are these men.
The uncle looked at her, then at the newspaper stand owner: "I'll buy it later..."
Yue Ning handed the magazine to the uncle, and the uncle came over tremblingly to pay.
Yue Ning also took out his own newspaper, took out money from his small bag and gave it to the boss. The boss, the uncle, and everyone who bought newspapers at the stall looked at each other in bewilderment.
The boss silently collected the money and gave the change. Yue Ning took the newspaper and said politely as usual, "Goodbye."
The boss immediately smiled and said, "Goodbye."
Just as Yue Ning was about to turn around, the uncle asked, "Yue Ning, are you really invincible in Mong Kok?"
Yue Ning stopped laughing and said, "Are you stupid? I'm not a gangster, I'm law-abiding, how would I know if there are any enemies?"
"That's right!" said the newspaper stand owner. "She's not a movie star. She makes a living by her cooking skills. What do you mean by strong and powerful? What do you mean by invincible in Mong Kok? She hasn't bullied anyone, has she? Girls are very polite."
"I'm leaving. Ningyan opens today." Yue Ning said.
"Good luck with your opening."
"Good luck!"
“…”
A group of people congratulated her, not knowing whether it was to ease the embarrassment or to express their sincere blessings.
Yue Ning is looking forward. She was very thin when she first came out. After that, she ate more. However, she usually exercises a lot and works hard in the kitchen. In addition, she pays attention to the structure of her diet. Her body fat rate has always been low. People with a lot of muscles will definitely not have big breasts. But is it too much to say that she is comparable to the airport?
Forget it, when you are famous, you will have a lot of gossip. There is nothing to worry about.
Ning Yan was just in front, and a stage had been set up outside yesterday. For Sophie, who hosted countless events of all sizes a year, this kind of opening ceremony was really a piece of cake.
But Sophie has a lot of things to consider. The more the grandparents and grandchildren put the financial power in her hands and let her decide the economy, the more she wants to make the opening ceremony look grand while controlling costs.
For this purpose, Sophie went to the TV station in person to discuss sponsorship matters.
After the talk, she came back and told Yue Ning that she had gotten a sponsorship from the TV station, so Yue Ning put it aside. She trusted her sister's work.
It wasn't until Yue Ning received a call from Cai Zhiyuan that Cai Zhiyuan asked her, "Ningning, it has always been the businesses that pay the TV stations for advertising. I have never heard of businesses asking the TV stations for sponsorship."
Yue Ning didn't understand what Cai Zhiyuan meant, so she called Sophie and asked her what was going on.
Before hanging up the phone, Sophie said, "Mr. Cai doesn't want to sponsor, I can find Mr. Dong from STV and exchange it for exclusive coverage of the Ningyan opening. Do you think he is willing?"
As for this stage ceremony, and the hosts today, all of them are HTV or HTV-related partners. Ning Yan didn't pay a penny.
Sophie also said, "Mr. Cai, please don't consider this as a personal relationship between you and Ningning. This is a cooperation between companies."
These words must have made Brother Zhiyuan mad.
Only ten minutes after hanging up the phone, he called again. Yue Ning was so proud at that time: "Brother, think about it, this is how your sister helped you in the past, do you feel better?"
Thinking of this, Yue Ning was very happy to see Cai Zhiyuan who arrived earlier than her. She quickened her pace and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Zhiyuan."
Today is the opening ceremony of Ningyan. HTV did host a small part of the content, and Cai Zhiyuan was also an invited guest.
But as a boss, there was really no need for him to come so early. But he came anyway. After being here for such a long time, he saw that Su Fei was either talking to Yue Baohua or chatting with today's partners.
She only gave his former boss and former bed partner two or three minutes and sent one of their managers to accompany him.
I guess she thought he came too early and caused her trouble.
He was bored when he heard a sweet voice and a brilliant smile.
The owner of this face loves to stab him in the heart.
Since Sophie left, her department has had two more supervisors, but none of them is as efficient as her. Moreover, he did some calculations in the past two days and found that with the same amount of operations, expenses increased by 9%.
He was furious at the meeting, and the people below him said to him tremblingly: "Why don't you go and invite Miss Su back?"
This is really a case of bringing up something that is not relevant. If he could be invited back, would he still be so angry?
He couldn't help it, so he went to Sophie's house and knocked on the door, only to find out that Sophie had actually sold the house.
He called Sophie and asked her where she had moved to. Sophie still thought he was confused.
He could only ask Yue Ning, who told him, "I've been to my sister's house. Their neighborhood is full of mixed people, and there are dozens of families sharing four elevators in their building complex. It's too crowded, and it's not safe for a girl to live there. I gave my sister two options. One is that I rent her a house next to my house, and the company will pay for the rent. The other is that she can buy a 700-800 square foot unit and live in Repulse Bay. My sister felt that it was not cost-effective for the company to pay the rent, so she decided to change houses. So she found a house near us, and the company paid the housing subsidy in advance!"
Later, Yue Ning added: "I also gave my sister a car. This way, it will be much more convenient for her to go out and discuss business cooperation! Swords are given to heroes, and rouge is given to beauties. Sister Su is a hero who can expand territory, so of course I have to give her a sword to show my sincerity."
Cai Zhiyuan was completely speechless after hearing what the little girl said. He had always known that Sophie was a capable person under him, and he also knew her abilities and entrusted her with important tasks.
But what is the reality? He still subconsciously regarded her as a woman. He never forgot to give her jewelry, brand-name handbags, cosmetics and flowers. Regarding the problems Yue Ning mentioned, he thought that if Sophie worked overtime too late, she should not go home, and let her live in a hotel near the TV station. Letting her live in a wealthy area and have a car can reduce safety risks and make it easier for her to travel. He never thought about these.
How could Sophie return to HTV? Compared with the 9% expenditure of their department, this amount of money is really pitiful!
Yue Ning ran to Cai Zhiyuan and said, "Brother, you're here so early!"
