Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Chapter 56
Wang Mowen was still unwilling to give up and wanted to get Hanna to join him in the fight against the enemy, but when he turned around, Hanna was gone.
He could only bring along Yi Jingxing and the others to bolster their support: "Brother Jingxing, Haoxian, Yunyan... Given Nana's relationship with us, shouldn't we seek justice for her?"
Chen Haoxian and Xia Yunyan looked at Yi Jingxing at the same time. Yi Jingxing laughed dryly, "I don't know the whole story, so it's not for us to interfere. But we're able to record this show together, and meeting together is fate. Let's talk it out. There's nothing we can't solve."
As soon as Wang Mowen saw Yi Jingxing speak, he knew that this good guy was going to smooth things over again. He glanced coldly at Shen Haoxian and Xia Yunyan, who were known as "Hanna's diehard fans". Seeing that they had no intention of intervening, he knew that he had lost this time.
The three people on Fang Qi's side are of one mind, while the five people here are of ten minds. There's no way he can beat Fang Qi!
Wang Mowen laughed coldly, tui loudly, and walked away.
After Yi Jingxing and the others left, Lin Mengmeng jumped in front of Fang Qi, looking surprised: "Okay, Fang Qi, you're such a good friend!"
Fang Qi glanced at her and said unhappily, "If he hadn't been cursing so loudly, I wouldn't have been able to pretend I didn't hear it. Do you think I want to stand up for myself?"
"Hehe, since you helped me and Tingting, I won't bother with you this time..."
"That……"
"I'll remember your merit. You'll benefit from it in the future."
"I'll wait."
Gu Ting hugged himself tightly, the "light bulb", and felt more redundant than ever before.
Gu Ting and the other two returned to the sea view villa and learned that 21 Yin Chui Sting had also been invited by Xiao Fugui to stay there. Now the huge villa was bustling with people playing games, playing mahjong, playing billiards, watching TV, eating melon seeds, chatting... It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Gu Ting never imagined that one day he would be sitting in a sea view villa, playing mahjong, mobile games, eating melon seeds, chatting about gossip with his online fans offline... It would be as comfortable and happy as a gathering with friends.
Gu Ting had only played a few rounds of mahjong when she was ruthlessly driven away by fans whose faces were slightly green with anger. They drove her straight to the game area and began her journey of abuse.
What made Gu Ting even happier was yet to come. Since Sting and his friends had nothing to do in the afternoon, they decided to have a bonfire BBQ at the beach in the evening.
Before Gu Ting and the others came back, they had already set up the tent, arranged the table, prepared the grill, charcoal, ingredients, and drinks, and started the bonfire... Now everything was ready, just waiting for Gu Ting to appear.
Gu Tingzi was naturally happy because of Chui Sting's thoughtful preparation. Under the resentful and jealous gaze of the director team, Gu Ting and the other two handed over 600 yuan of the 800 yuan they earned today and naturally joined the BBQ team.
Why was today's income only 800? It was because the weight of the seaweed harvested by Lin Mengmeng was significantly different, so she was deducted 100 yuan. Gu Ting guessed that Han Na and Xia Yunyan earned even less because they harvested even less seaweed than Lin Mengmeng.
Since it is by the sea, the ingredients for dinner include not only various meats but also various seafood. More than 20 people are busy grilling meat, seafood, seasonal vegetables, and fruits... Soon the aroma of barbecue wafts through the air.
Gu Ting was very foresighted. She brought a folding chair and started grilling slowly. Sure enough, every time a portion was cooked, Gu Ting would come over to eat it. She would eat as much as she grilled until all the food on the plate was eaten up.
Gu Ting completed the task of feeding fans and clapped his hands. In the blink of an eye, a huge plate of barbecue appeared in front of him - it was raised through crowdfunding by 22 fans, and the quantity was large enough to satisfy your hunger.
Lin Mengmeng gnawed on corn nearby, a hint of resentment in her eyes. It wasn't jealousy, but pure envy. Why didn't anyone bring her meat? She didn't know how to grill meat, so she could only eat the half-cooked, half-mushy grilled corn.
When Lin Mengmeng came to her senses, she suddenly found a plate of peeled mantis shrimps in front of her. She looked around and the closest person was only Fang Qi.
Everyone was enjoying the sea breeze, drinking beer, eating seafood and barbecue. They were all a little tipsy after drinking.
Gu Ting was eating, and a group of fans surrounded her, chirping like sparrows having a meeting.
"Sister Ting, the atmosphere is so exciting now, it would be a shame not to sing a song, right?"
"'Good Luck Comes'?"
"My favorite is 'Gong Xi Fa Cai', it's such a heavenly sound..."
"I've been playing 'The Goddess of Wealth' on repeat lately, and I want to hear Sister Ting sing it. Oh my god, look at my innocent and eager eyes, please satisfy me..."
"You're all talking about this and that. Who do you want Sister Ting to listen to? Aren't you making things difficult for Sister Ting?"
Gu Ting was about to nod, but he changed the subject: "In order not to embarrass Sister Ting, why not just sing every song once? Come on, everyone applaud!"
Twenty or so people managed to create the momentum of hundreds of people.
Gu Ting: “…” We are all fans, but other people’s fans are so considerate, why are my own fans so mean?
But she was not stingy enough to not sing a few songs. Gu Ting began to hum along with the accompaniment. Soon, Yin Chui and Sting also joined in the chorus. The singing echoed into the sea, blended into the wind, and was heard from far away.
The moon is bright in the sky, the waves are dancing, and the singing is melodious. The moonlight tonight is particularly charming.
The assistant director, editor, and others off-camera were grinning so hard their teeth were practically breaking. The original intention of filming the show was to make them endure hardships. But where was the hardship? Where was the difficulty? Where's the medicine for conjunctivitis?
It was a lively night, with both the host and the guests having a great time. As the bonfire was about to die out and everyone was packing up and heading back in twos and threes, the invisible man Du Kaifeng suddenly appeared.
"Are you free? Xiaoyan always has something to talk to you about." Du Kaifeng stuffed the phone into her hand without saying anything and turned away.
Seeing that her cameraman also picked up his camera and ran away without paying any attention to her, Gu Ting turned off the microphone herself, then stood alone on the beach watching the bright moon rising over the sea and answered the phone.
"Du Kaifeng said you have something to talk to me about?" Gu Ting raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Kaifeng said that someone used despicable means to hurt you. I am very worried about you." Yan Xiu's answer was more straightforward than Gu Ting had expected.
Gu Ting was caught off guard, and perhaps the alcohol took effect, his cheeks seemed a little hot.
She forced herself to get rid of the mess in her mind and said, "I've always had good luck, and with Du Kaifeng, there's nothing to worry about."
Yan Xiu's attitude remained serious, yet he felt helpless. "You've had too many accidents. Too many can't be accidents. I've already asked someone to investigate this incident, as well as the other accidents that have occurred over the past month. From now on, you must be more careful."
Gu Ting was a little speechless. A while ago, she had been making fun of Yan Xiu, telling him to be careful of being hacked. Now it was her turn. She and Yan Xiu were really a pair of brothers in distress.
Just as I was daydreaming, Yan Xiu's voice suddenly changed, and there was a hint of inexplicable meaning in his gentle voice: "Do you mind that I intervened in this matter without asking for your consent first? If you mind, I apologize to you." But it was impossible to correct it.
Gu Ting held her forehead, she might really be a little drunk. Yan Xiu's gentle and pleasant tone fell into her ears and climbed to the top of her heart, with a hint of indescribable comfort, which made her inexplicably palpitate.
Perhaps she was silent for a long time, so Yan Xiu asked again: "Tingting?"
Gu Ting's hand, which was touching his forehead, suddenly clenched into a fist and said in a casual tone, "Why are you calling me Tingting all of a sudden?"
Others also call her Tingting, but when the word "Tingting" comes from Yan Xiu's mouth, it always feels a little different.
Yan Xiu chuckled and explained, "I also got a card for you. You're a member of Influence Sting. Many fans in the group call you by your nickname. I'm used to it."
Without waiting for Gu Ting's reply, he changed the subject and said, "Kaifeng said you were caught in a seafood rain yesterday, including a bluefin tuna. It's a pity that you couldn't witness it with your own eyes."
The night was quiet, the moonlight was gentle, and Yan Xiu's voice slowly came into his ears, as if it was softer than the moonlight and more catchy than the mermaid's song.
Gu Ting was feeling a little confused. She kicked the sand at her feet unconsciously and unexpectedly kicked something that rolled to the front. She took two steps over in the moonlight to take a look and felt vaguely familiar with it.
"Yanxiu, wait a minute." Gu Ting turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone and finally confirmed that it was indeed the unknown spherical object she had encountered twice when harvesting seaweed today. She still had an impression of it because there was a black hole the size of a fingernail on one side of it.
This is the third time she has seen this thing today. However, the sea area where seaweed is grown is not in the same place as here. The distance is neither far nor near. How could it just happen to float in front of her again?
The only thing Gu Ting could think of was that the garbage missed home, and God felt sorry for this garbage "child".
But there were no trash cans around the beach, so Gu Ting had to pick up the things with disgust and prepare to find a trash can for it later so that its soul could return home.
After getting the thing, Gu Ting found that the ball was not as light as she had imagined. It weighed at least 3 kilograms.
Gu Ting picked up his things and stood up, saying to the phone, "I'm fine. Are you still there?"
"Here." Yan Xiu's voice seemed to be right next to her ear in the dark night, with his usual calmness and gentleness, which made Gu Ting think of the night when she and Yan Xiu were kidnapped for no reason.
Apart from the times when he was kidnapped and coerced in the hospital, Yan Xiu was always gentle and easy to get along with, and his emotions were always stable. Even when the kidnappers were sharpening their knives in front of him to kill him, Gu Ting never saw him lose his composure.
Yan Xiu's question brought her back to her senses: "What happened?"
Gu Ting had no choice but to answer: "I encountered the same piece of ocean trash three times today, so I decided to send it back to its home - the trash can."
Yan Xiu seemed very interested and asked, "What kind of marine debris?"
Gu Ting observed: "It's gray, and feels a bit like wax. If you smell it up close, it has a slightly foul smell."
Yan Xiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "If others say so, it might really be rubbish, but since you say so... I suggest you scrape some off and see if it can be ignited, and if it emits a fragrance after ignition. If it does, it might be ambergris produced from sperm whales."
Gu Ting was confused: "Huh???"
Yan Xiu couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are the goddess of wealth in the hearts of thousands of Yinchuisting people. You are naturally lucky in wealth. Why are you so surprised?"
Gu Ting said honestly: "Yes, I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I really can't help it. I picked up a piece of garbage from the ocean and thought it could be a treasure?" Why does it sound so magical?
But looking back on her past, when has her fortune not been miraculous?
The shock lasted only a second. Gu Ting had already accepted the gift from the sea with peace of mind and was very happy. "If it is really ambergris, you are a great contributor. Reward!"
Gu Ting's words were full of sarcasm. What kind of domineering CEO would care about such a small amount of money? Unexpectedly, Yan Xiu agreed readily: "Since you are so sincere about giving it to me, I will not refuse it."
Gu Ting again: "Ah?"
Yan Xiu seemed to take a deep breath and said leisurely, "It won't be long before I leave the Yan family and start my own business. Starting a business is not easy and capital is tight, so of course the more the better."
Yan Xiu spoke casually, but Gu Ting knew that he never disdained to lie. Yan Xiu actually wanted to leave the Yan family!
When Yan Xiu was in the kidnappers' den, he said lightly that if he could escape by chance, he would leave the family. She didn't take it too seriously at first. She didn't expect that the nice guy would be so decisive.
Gu Ting really didn't know who in the Yan family had done what to Yan Xiu to make such a good-tempered person so determined.
Gu Ting didn't know the inside story, nor did he know how to comfort him. He could only smile and joke, "Since you are my friend, I will reluctantly invest some money. It's time to witness my true strength."
If she can help Youjie come back to life, she can help a business start and grow!
Yan Xiu smiled easily: "Thank you. From now on, my wealth and career will be in your hands."
Gu Ting: “…” Thirty yuan for beef noodles doesn’t mean that her partner is destined to be a gigolo in the future. Unfortunately, the billionaire president got to eat her first.
