Chapter 045
After returning to the room, Xu Jingning's heart was still beating fast.
Although I looked nonchalant when I got up, I still felt a little guilty and scared when I realized how bold a thing I had done.
Such a despicable excuse is too easy to be exposed.
But judging from Yan Xun's performance... he doesn't seem to care about this matter.
Thinking of this, Xu Jingning felt both happy and sad.
So what does Yan Xun mean to him?
He gave unconditionally and did not ask for anything in return, but Xu Jingning's sensitive intuition made him feel that this person had ulterior motives.
"He likes you! How many times have I told you that he just likes you!"
2874 picked it out and complained: "Even if you muted me, he still likes you! Men are all the same. They treat you well now, but once they get you, you don't know what they will do!"
Xu Jingning was annoyed by it, and rarely did she object to 2874's nonsense: "Didn't you praise him to the skies before? Why do you keep saying bad things about Yan Xun now?"
2874 automatically shut his mouth.
It doesn't know either, but every time it sees Yan Xun staring at its little host... it feels a sense of crisis.
2874 usually wouldn't show up when there was nothing else to do. Xu Jingning didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he asked it about the real matter: "Did you find out anything?"
"Hmm!" The small system immediately shifted its attention. "What we can confirm now is that the contents of Shen Luo's USB flash drive are indeed true, but that's not enough. It's hard to find out more in the short term because they are hidden too deep there."
"How about I rationalize these evidences first? Anyway, they will be used sooner or later!"
Xu Jingning acquiesced to its actions and then threw the system back to work.
As for the other evidence… I’ll just give Chen Luo a doll next time we meet.
The performance just ended last night, and the next live broadcast will have to wait until the next day, so a whole day of rest time was left. After sitting there for a while, Xu Jingning realized that there was nothing to do.
How about...having some fun?
He opened WeChat and started bombarding Xiang Yuan with various emoticons.
The other party seemed to be taking a break as well. Almost as soon as the first message was sent, the chat interface showed "The other party is typing..."
Xiang Yuan: Don’t talk to me, our brotherhood is over.
Lemon: Then why don’t you reply to me?
Xiang Yuan: ...
After experiencing yesterday's heavy blow, Xiang Yuan slowly felt a little taste.
The relationship between Yan Xun and Xu Jingning is definitely not simple!
But after being personally certified by Koi Matchmaker as a resentful person who would fail if he supported anyone, Xiang Yuan no longer dared to support this couple easily.
But his eyes, his brain, and all the common sense he had learned in his life were pointing to a naked fact!
There is absolutely nothing innocent between Yan Xun and Xu Jingning!
During the brainstorming period, Xu Jingning, who knew nothing about it, happily sent a few posts.
Lemon: Do you want to go out and play today?
Lemon: Come on, find an excuse to ask me out. Choose one between a haunted house or a room.
It was impossible for her to stay at home. As she was a little slow in feeling ashamed, Xu Jingning couldn't stay in the same space with Yan Xun.
Xiang Yuan: ... Ningning, wake up and confirm your identity. It’s not appropriate for us to go to play any of them, right?
Xiang Yuan: And didn’t Director Xu arrange a dinner party tonight?
This time it was Xu Jingning's turn to be confused.
When did Director Xu say that? How come he doesn’t know?
Xiang Yuan immediately understood and explained to him: It was said in the acting group at 11 o'clock last night. You didn't check the group, right?
He was kind enough to send me a screenshot as well.
At eleven o'clock last night...at that time he seemed to be busy engaging in a battle of wits and courage with Yan Xun.
Xu Jingning felt a little guilty.
Clicking on the screenshot, it was indeed a message sent by Director Xu. The dinner time was set for tonight, at a five-star hotel, which was reserved, and all students and mentors were required to be present.
Lemon: Okay, I'll go ask Yan Xun how to arrange it.
Xiang Yuan: Are you planning to go with your tutor? I remember your home is not far from this restaurant, but Teacher Yan doesn't seem to live in Pingjiang all the time, so he will probably arrive later.
Lemon: Yes.
lemon: But he also lives in Pingjiang
After this message was sent, Xiang Yuan didn't reply for a long time. After half a day, he timidly sent a question mark.
Xiang Yuan: Let me make a bold guess...Xu Jingning, have you moved?
Lemon: Yes ^-^
"Fuck!" Xiang Yuan complained from the bottom of his heart.
Xiang Yuan: Don’t tell me...you two are not living together, are you?
Xu Jingning, who usually sent messages quickly, suddenly stopped sending messages.
Just when Xiang Yuan was getting extremely anxious, he finally received a brief reply.
Lemon：Yes.
Six o'clock in the evening.
When Yan Xun and Xu Jingning entered the box together, everyone was already there.
At first glance, everyone seemed to have been chatting for a long time and the atmosphere was very lively. When they saw the two of them, they immediately greeted each other enthusiastically.
"Hey, Teacher Yan is here." Weekend smiled and shook the wine glass in his hand, "As expected of you two, you are here to be the finale, right?"
Yan Xun maintained a proper smile and responded: "Why, are there any distinguished guests who haven't arrived yet?"
"Well, you're an old acquaintance. You'll know when you meet him later." Weekend Mo lowered her voice and approached Xu Jingning, quietly touching her shoulder, "Oh, Ningning has become more handsome again. Come on, let your sister kiss you!"
Xu Jingning was embarrassed: "Sister Zhou Zhou!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Weekend Mo happily retracted his action and winked at him, "The rules for the next round of grouping will be changed, remember to choose the sister~"
Sure enough, she has not given up this idea yet and is seizing the opportunity to get Xu Jingning into her team.
Yan Xun coughed lightly and reminded: "It's inappropriate to poach people in front of me at the end of the weekend, right?"
There was nothing inappropriate about it; she clearly felt it was perfectly appropriate.
Weekend replied without any guilt: "The next round is completely disrupted. They are not your students, so how can it be called poaching? This time you don't have the final say, Teacher Yan."
"Well, I don't have the final say," Yan Xun began to show that expression of wanting to drown someone without paying for his life, and looked at Xu Jingning, "I listen to Xiao Jingning."
End of the weekend: "..."
Xiang Yuan, who unfortunately died next to them: "..."
Damn stinky couple.
After a few words, everyone sat down one after another. After counting the number of people, someone asked whether the food should be served. Director Xu said, "There is still one person who has not arrived. He is the special guest for the next performance. Wait a moment."
Before they finished speaking, the students were still wondering why it was a guest when they saw the door of the box was pushed open again.
"Sorry, guys, I'm late."
The man who came in was a man with a strong temperament and sharp and handsome features. Even with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he couldn't suppress his settled aura.
Some of the more excited students have already shouted out: "Ahhh it's Senior Jiang!!!"
Jiang He smiled and nodded.
Director Xu asked him to sit down and then told the waiter to serve the food.
"Since everyone knows him, there is no need to introduce him. Jiang He, although he has faded from the circle in the past two years, the awards he won in the past are very valuable. He will join the recording of the program as a special guest mentor for the next performance. Today is also a welcoming banquet set up for Teacher Jiang."
Hearing Director Xu praising him like this, Jiang He smiled helplessly: "Director Xu, there's no need for such a big show. You still have to be the protagonist today."
"Oh my, this is a better excuse." Director Xu was a little pleased. "Besides, I went to great lengths to invite you here. If I don't praise you well, I'm afraid that Teacher Jiang will run away!"
Jiang He held his forehead with his hand and everyone laughed.
"Okay, okay, I'm on your old Xu's bandwagon, so let's liven up the place." Jiang He poured himself a glass of wine and toasted everyone. "There are many old friends and new friends here. I've been following the show, and I'm looking forward to working with you all in the future."
Just as he was immersed in what Jiang He said, Xu Jingning suddenly felt his elbow being bumped. He turned around and met Xiang Yuan's excited face.
"Director Xu is awesome for inviting Jiang He!" Even though he tried to lower his voice, he still couldn't suppress his excitement. "I haven't seen his new work for a long time. I thought Jiang was going to retire."
Xu Jingning blinked, remembering some gossip he had heard, and replied, "Be more confident and stop assuming."
Xiang Yuan: "Is it true? Many marketing accounts said that he stopped filming and went home to feed his child..."
Xu Jingning gave him an encouraging smile.
Xiang Yuan: “…” Damn.
Jiang He is very popular among the people, not only because he had a clear vision and chose the right development path when he was young, but also because after he officially announced his relationship, he quickly transformed himself into a movie star and became famous for his crazy output of works.
There is no director who doesn't like such an actor who has both acting skills and hard work, even if he brings money into the group. In many cases, he even invests in the team himself, and at a young age, he has several high-quality film works.
He immediately joined the next crew right after finishing one drama. His career ambition is so strong that people often forget that he is married.
As a result, after working hard for a year, his reputation and fame had risen. Just as his career was about to enter a rising period and everyone was looking forward to him presenting more high-quality works, Jiang He suddenly disappeared and stopped filming.
It’s said that he is missing...but people like Xu Jingning who are close to him know the truth very well.
Who can blame Mr. Jiang for having a wife who is an even more hardworking entertainment company boss?
No one could imagine Ye Siwen taking care of a child, so the love-brained Jiang He took the initiative to stop working and go home to be a full-time househusband, so that Ye Siwen could have more time to run her own business.
Xu Jingning and Jiang He were not very familiar with each other, but one could guess that Ye Siwen probably urged them to participate in the variety show this time.
Xiang Yuan on the side was in shock for a long time.
Because Jiang He temporarily retired from the entertainment industry, there were all kinds of messed up rumors online, but in the end, the most outrageous rumor about her going home to breastfeed her child was the real story???
So is participating in the performance this time a preparation for your comeback?
Halfway through the meal, everyone was chatting about this and that, when Director Xu suddenly changed the subject and started talking about the show.
"Actually, today, I have another purpose, which is to tell you about tomorrow's recording."
Director Xu sounded a bit tipsy, but he was still in good spirits: "The groups in the first two episodes were fixed, and the audience would get tired of it, so in the next round we plan to play a small game with completely random groups. This will not only arouse the audience's interest, but also maybe create some interesting chemical reactions."
Yan Xun said after careful consideration: "Wouldn't it be unfair to say this? Being too uncontrolled can easily lead to accidents. I think we should still consider the wishes of the students..."
Before he could finish his words, Weekend Next Door interrupted him hastily, "Whose wishes are you considering? You just want to monopolize Ning Ning and won't let go!"
Weekend Mo spoke without thinking, and everyone started to make a noise, but Yan Xun just smiled and said nothing more.
Director Xu replied while watching the fun: "I thought at first that Xu Jingning would be a good person in your hands, but he ended up causing me a lot of trouble."
"Sometimes you can even bring him along to cause trouble."
There are people on the field who like to surf the Internet to some extent. When they heard this, they knew that Director Xu was secretly referring to the trending searches from the night before.
Feeling several ambiguous glances directed at him, Xu Jingning felt numb.
No, how can I bring the topic to him without saying a word?
