When Ye Fei woke up the next day, it was almost eleven o'clock. Except for the few days when he was sick and bedridden, this was the first time he slept until this time.
No wonder so many people cry out for being a salted fish, it is really too comfortable. Ye Fei yawned, lazily stretched out a hand from under the quilt, fumbled around the bedside for a while, found the remote control, and pressed the button to open the automatic curtains.
Bright light slowly poured into the room, dispelling the darkness. He squinted his eyes for a while to adjust himself, then got up and washed.
As expected, Yan Xiao was not at home. Ye Fei wandered to the kitchen, took out something from the refrigerator to fill his stomach, and then went out.
He donated all his clothes yesterday, not even a set of clothes left, so he had to buy a new batch today.
Yan Xiao’s villa was far away from the downtown area, and Ye Fei drove for an hour before reaching his destination. Fortunately, this shopping mall has many big brands, and they are all located on the same floor, which saves him a lot of trouble.
He is a man of neat and tidy character, and he is even quicker when it comes to buying clothes. He was too lazy to even try it on. If he thought it was good, he just asked the salesperson to pack it according to his size, make the invoice and pay all in one go. It was a very pleasant experience. He didn't give the salesperson, who was full of compliments, any room to express himself.
In less than two hours, everything needed was bought.
After putting the bags into the car, Ye Fei did not go home directly, but went to a famous snack street in the city.
It was the weekend, and even though it was not meal time, the snack street was still crowded with people. People walked together in groups of three or four, chatting and joking, making the place lively and full of the fresh air of life.
Ye Fei found it interesting and walked slowly and leisurely behind the crowd. Occasionally I would go to the stall with the longest queue to buy some snacks, and eat while walking like everyone else. It was very comfortable.
In his previous life, he lived like a stagnant pool of water. His entire life was about work and the Ye family, and he missed out on too many beautiful things. In this life, he will make up for everything.
Ye Fei raised the corners of her lips slightly, and casually gave a lily she had just bought to a little girl with missing front teeth on the street. Just as she was about to find something else to eat, she received a call from Gu Ruijia.
"Tonight at 8 o'clock, BOSD Bar, don't forget it."
"BOSD?" Ye Fei changed her hand to hold the phone, pointed at the egg waffles on the menu, and motioned the boss to bring one. She frowned and said, "Isn't it Golden Years?"
"Hehehe," Gu Ruijia smiled obscenely, "Sun Qiong said that the new girls at BOSD are pretty good..."
He didn't say the rest, but Ye Fei already understood it all.
"Fuck you," Ye Fei laughed out of anger. He took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the boss, then walked to the parking lot with the egg waffles. "What the hell is this?"
"Why can't we talk about it?" Gu Ruijia said with a righteous look on his face, "We are just looking at it and not doing anything else. Look at you, you are overthinking it."
After being friends for so many years, Ye Fei still doesn’t understand Gu Ruijia’s character? I can't walk when I see a beautiful girl. It would be impossible if it was really like what he said.
Gu Ruijia also knew that his credibility was not good. Seeing that Ye Fei did not believe him, he said righteously: "This time it is real, I swear! Otherwise, I will eat hot shit live on the live broadcast!"
"Oh," Ye Fei said expressionlessly, "You're so proud of yourself for coming here to eat and drink for free?"
Gu Ruijia: “…”
Gu Ruijia couldn't win the argument, so she just acted like a rogue: "Anyway, we have reserved the booths, so come or not, if you don't come, I will personally go to your company and catch you."
In the past, Ye Fei would have totally looked down upon his dissolute appearance. Not to mention going, not hanging up the phone on the spot was already an extra favor. But now, he thinks there is nothing wrong with enjoying life in the moment.
"Come on, I'll give you a favor today."
"Ouch," Gu Ruijia's voice rose on the other end of the phone. "It's not easy. I thought you were going to be like my dad and teach me a lesson first, regardless of the consequences."
"What are you thinking about?" Ye Fei snorted and laughed, "Does dad acknowledge you as his son?"
"Fuck," Gu Ruijia couldn't help but swear on the other end of the phone, "Comrade Ye Fei, please be careful. You've been a little too flirtatious recently."
He wanted to ask his friend whether he had suffered such a terrible beating from society that even his personality had changed. Suddenly I felt something was wrong and listened for a few seconds: "No, where are you now? Why is it so noisy?"
Ye Fei threw the plastic bag into the trash can: "Snack Street."
"Snack street? You actually go to that kind of place?" Gu Ruijia was so surprised that she almost jumped up. "No, that's not the point! It's half past six now, are you off work?"
Ye Fei unlocked the car and got in: "No——"
Gu Ruijia breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could reply, she heard Ye Fei continue, "I didn't go to work at all."
Gu Ruijia was really frightened now. She didn't even notice the ash falling on the table. She blurted out a series of questions: "What happened? Are you sick? Did you go to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"
He was not making a fuss. Ye Fei really worked like a desperate man. Since taking over Dingyuan for so long, he has been working overtime until late at night every day and has never taken even an hour off.
I didn't go to work today. I'm afraid something big has happened.
Gu Ruijia stood up holding the phone: "Forget it, give me an address and I'll come find you."
Ye Fei was amused and touched: "Don't think too much, I just want to take a break." He fastened his seat belt and said while adjusting the radio, "I won't talk to you anymore, drive."
Gu Ruijia wanted to ask a few more questions, but then she thought that they would meet again in the evening, so she could talk about it then, so she said, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
When Ye Fei arrived at the bar, it was almost half past eight. He had the bad luck of running into the rush hour, and the road was jammed. If he hadn't made a quick decision and taken a shortcut, he would probably still be moving at a snail's pace.
In the bar, the music was deafening, and the exciting melody and drum beats hit the heart. Ye Fei frowned uncomfortably and asked the doorman who was leading the way: "Hasn't arrived yet?"
The doorman pointed respectfully ahead: "It's right there."
Ye Fei looked in the direction he was pointing. In the booth, Gu Ruijia was drinking with Sun Qiong, drinking one glass after another without hesitation. Zhou Zhensheng was cheering on them from the side, his eyebrows raised in excitement.
Sun Qiong and Zhou Zhensheng are Gu Ruijia's friends. Ye Fei had dinner with them once but they were not familiar to each other.
Ye Fei thanked the doorman and strode towards the few people.
"Is Ye Fei coming or not?" Sun Qiong drank a bottle of wine and was already a little drunk. He yelled at Gu Ruijia, "What time is it? Are you still in the company?"
Ye Fei's reputation as a workaholic is well-known among people, and even people like Sun Qiong who have little contact with him know a little about him.
Gu Ruijia wanted to defend his friend, but he was a little unsure and said hesitantly, "No way?"
"Why don't you just call and ask and you'll know if it's possible?" Zhou Zhensheng snatched Gu Ruijia's phone, pulled his thumb to unlock the screen, and found Ye Fei's number.
Before I could dial it, it was held down by a white and slender hand.
"Sorry," Ye Fei picked up an empty wine glass and filled it up for herself, "I'm late."
"Who are you?" Zhou Zhensheng raised his head in confusion. He felt that the man in front of him looked familiar, but due to the alcohol, he couldn't remember his name.
He blinked twice, his eyes swept across Ye Fei's face, and he thought in his heart, could it be that my charm has increased recently, and this handsome guy is here to chat with him?
Zhou Zhensheng adjusted his hair shyly and coughed pretentiously: "You——"
Gu Ruijia interrupted him with a loud voice: "Ye Fei?!"
Zhou Zhensheng's hands shook and he almost spilled the wine. What? Is this person Ye Fei? That Ye Fei who is so unsophisticated that even programmers feel ashamed of themselves?
"What?" Ye Fei raised her eyebrows, drank the wine in her glass, and sat down next to Gu Ruijia, "You don't recognize me?"
He was wearing a slim-fitting shirt, which was completely black, with only a brightly colored flower vine printed on the side of the waist. The strong color conflict is extremely eye-catching, revealing sophistication in its debauchery and a bit of freshness in its sexy style.
The collar of his shirt was slightly messy, with two buttons undone, revealing his straight collarbone and protruding Adam's apple. Her hair was no longer fixed with hairspray, but was left loose and messy, casually draped above her brow bone. Under the dimly changing light, she became even more beautiful and charming, and compared with her previous rigid and serious appearance, she was like a completely different person.
"You..." Gu Ruijia looked at him dully, "What stimulated you?"
Ye Fei clinked glasses with him and smiled, "It's just a change of image, there's nothing to be surprised about." Her charming demeanor couldn't be concealed as she lowered her brows and smiled lightly. Even the straight man Sun Qiong couldn't help but be a little dazzled by her.
The relatively low-key booth instantly became the focus of the bar because of his arrival, and eyes from all directions were cast towards it frequently.
Ye Fei, however, seemed not to feel anything. He continued drinking and chatting calmly, not moved at all.
When the cup was empty, Zhou Zhensheng immediately pushed Gu Ruijia aside and filled it up for him.
Seeing this, Sun Qiong dragged out his voice and said jokingly, "Old Zhou, don't just care about Ye Fei, pour me a cup too."
Zhou Zhensheng looked at Ye Fei's face, then at his own face, and said disdainfully: "You look ugly, but you think beautifully."
Sun Qiong: “…”
He shouldn't have brought shame upon himself. All those who are Yan-sexual are fucking hypocritical!
After a few people laughed and joked for a while, Gu Ruijia brought up the serious matter: "What do you think about "The Road to Upgrading the Favored Concubine"?
Zhou Zhensheng pulled his chair closer to Ye Fei and said, "Old Sun and I both think this drama is worth investing in. Brother Fei, are you—" He paused and lowered his voice, "Do you have any inside information?"
Of course I have inside information, but I can't tell them directly.
Ye Fei leaned against the back of the chair, put down the wine glass, and supported his chin with one hand: "Indeed, a little bit."
This IP has been evaluated countless times by industry leaders, and all aspects show that it is profitable. It is obviously impossible to convince them based on data, so he had to pretend to be profound and said, "I have read this novel before. Many plots in it are not suitable for filming, and it is very difficult to adapt. Moreover, the screenwriter designated by Blue Ocean is good at urban light comedy, and the costume drama he worked on before did not make much splash."
"so."
Gu Ruijia and his friends actually didn't know much about the film and television industry, but they had a lot of spare money and heard that this field was profitable, so they just followed the trend and plunged into it. I was so scared by him that I nodded unconsciously.
"But..." Sun Qiong was still a little undecided, "Many people are very optimistic about this drama, and director Yu Chunsheng is a guarantee of ratings. Since his debut, he has never had a failed work."
Ye Fei shook his head: "Anyway, if you trust me, don't vote."
"Puff——" A familiar sneer suddenly came from behind. Without turning around, Ye Fei knew it was his cheap brother. "Ye Fei, is this how you betray your friends?"
