Chapter 48 Oscar for Best Screenplay.
After filming the documentary, Chen Qingqing came back from the south and looked a shade darker. As soon as she put down the dishes at Sun Ziyi's door, she started saying that her sofa looked good. However, after lying on the white sofa, her face looked even darker.
Sun Ziyi had been feeling very uncomfortable in her cervical spine recently. She was standing at the door of her house, wearing a neck brace she bought from the hospital on Taobao, waiting for a small gathering with her sisters. The brace made her look taller, and when she directed Chen Qingqing to enter the house, she looked like a female conductor of a symphony orchestra.
"Chen Yanyan, you are really tanned."
When Shen Qingqing saw the sofa, she quickly lay down, clasped her hands together above her belly button, and said slowly, "I didn't expect being a professional woman would be so tiring. I have to leave the crew at five in the morning and get scolded by the teacher every day. My body is really different from when I was in college. You think I'm tanned, but I think I'm dark because I didn't get enough rest..."
Chen Qingqing drove from Chaoyang District to Daxing, which took an hour. Sun Ziyi's residential complex was hard to find and shabby, and the destination was completely unworthy of the hour. After she finished speaking, she picked up the honeycomb on the coffee table and threw it over angrily. Sun Ziyi took it swiftly, split it in half, and handed it to Sasa who had just walked in behind her.
Sasa didn't answer. She put down the vegetables she bought and sat on the yoga mat in front of the coffee table. She hugged her legs and said nervously, "I have something to tell you."
Sun Ziyi, wearing a neck brace, bent over stiffly to look at the dishes they brought, not taking Sasa's words seriously at all. In Sun Ziyi's opinion, Sasa was not short of money and was a great beauty. For such a person, the worries were all vague and could not be grasped at all.
Sun Ziyi suddenly remembered her only possible worry, so she asked Sasa seriously, "Is your mother asking you for money again?"
Sasa shook her head, and Sun Ziyi immediately stopped taking it seriously. She took out the Wagyu beef that Chen Qingqing brought and began to remove the transparent film.
Shen Qingqing didn't move either. She continued to stare at the ceiling slowly like a mummy, and said to Sasa without turning her head: "Ms. Chen, relax and tell me your story."
Sasa picked up the hand cream on the coffee table and said solemnly while applying it, "Lin Bozhou sent me money."
Shen Qingqing opened her eyes wide, and this time she didn't lie down, and sat up immediately.
Sun Ziyi, carrying the Wagyu beef, appeared in front of Sasa in a flash.

After Lin Bozhou said that he wanted to transfer money to Sasa, he happened to run into a red light. Sasa was sitting in the passenger seat, at a loss, so she quietly picked her fingers. While picking her fingers and slowly hesitating about how to answer, Lin Bozhou suddenly reached out his hand, pressed her head like a basketball, and gently asked her to turn around and look at him.
Lin Baizhou always wears sunglasses when driving. Behind the sunglasses, Sasa didn't know what kind of look was in her eyes. Seeing that she didn't reply, Lin Baizhou said, "If you are short of money, I can give you some."
Sasa just smiled stiffly and said, "No need. You should live in a house that is bigger than your ability. I won't be able to pay you back in the future if you help me like this."
She had to admit that she really wanted to give her bank card number. During the sixty seconds she waited for the red light, her mind even flashed through the lives of some girls she had seen since childhood. Some of the "excessive" ones were called gold diggers, some were smart and married into wealthy families, and some were sent abroad for stepping on the stairs. Sasa even thought of what Chen Ang had said at the beginning, "The money I earn is not enough for Cong Shanshan to spend." She was stunned and wondered if Cong Shanshan had divorced Chen Ang because she met a man like this?
She thought of piles of stories but forgot to respond to Lin Bozhou. Her mind even flashed through the "shoe house" from her childhood, where she would go to sleep whenever she was sad.
By the time she realized what was happening, a group of elementary school students wearing yellow hats were crossing the street. The eye-catching yellow brought her back to her senses. Sasa quickly turned around and said, "Ha, look how interesting they are."
Lin Bozhou also turned his head to look at the group of children. "It's quite interesting."
The red light came on, and Lin Bozhou started the car. After passing an intersection, he cleared his throat gently and finally added, "When I transfer the money, I can write it as a voluntary gift. There will be no legal conflicts in the future."
Sasa regretted it even more after hearing this, but her conscience still grabbed her and told her not to respond, so much so that she was regretting it while they were having dinner that night. While regretting it, she admitted that she was a vulgar person. Although she was bound by morality to behave properly and not pick up money casually, she would still be sad when her money really passed by.
No one is perfect. After dinner, Sasa dejectedly found an excuse to go to a meeting and took a taxi home.
-
Chen Qingqing didn't lie paralyzed this time. She sat up and hugged the pillow to listen to the excitement. After listening to Sasa's story, she cursed fiercely and started asking what happened next.
Sasa lowered his head, took out his Alipay account, showed the transfer interface to the two girls opposite, and then said, "As a result, as soon as I went upstairs, my cell phone rang. He transferred 200,000 yuan to my Alipay account using my cell phone number."
Sun Ziyi grabbed it first, and when he saw the words "Natural Gift" on it, he clenched his chest and subconsciously said, "Oh God, please give me a silly man..."
Shen Qingqing and Sasa looked at each other. Sasa suddenly reacted and asked Sun Ziyi, "Why does the McLaren downstairs look so familiar? Is it Xu Zecheng's?"
Sun Ziyi nodded, but asked in surprise, "Why do you look down on our community so much?"
Sasa said, "It's not that we look down on it, it's just that Xu Zecheng's car has been modified so coolly... I can never forget it."
Shen Qingqing wasn't tired this time. Taking advantage of the victory, she stood up and ran to the bathroom, then asked Sun Ziyi, "Are you living with Xu Zecheng? Why is his car here?"
Sun Ziyi shook her head and repeated the scene of that night, saying that Xu Zecheng wanted to break up and she was so angry that she got out of the car and took a taxi away. She called but no one answered. She couldn't leave the car there, so she drove to the underground garage of her own home.
Then Sun Ziyi raised his hand and began to swear, "I swear I only stayed downstairs and didn't go out for a while."
The two girls opposite frowned and looked at Sun Ziyi as if he were a fool.
Sun Ziyi asked, "Do you have any other questions?"
Sasa was silent for three seconds. "Can you take me out for a spin in your McLaren? I want to take some pictures and post them on Xiaohongshu..."
-
The three girls went to Shen Qingqing's house first. In Shen Qingqing's cloakroom, Sasa picked out a DIOR silk scarf for herself to tie her hair, and found a little black dress for Shen Qingqing, and matched her with a mini kelly. When Sasa was about to leave, Shen Qingqing pulled her back and put some highlights on her collarbone.
Sasa said while looking at her sparkling collarbone and sighed, "Chen Qingqing, you are really an expert. You are suitable to be a beauty blogger."
Qingqing walked behind her, looked at her smooth neck, and asked, "Do you want your hair down? Do you want your butterfly bones done?"
Sun Ziyi was fiddling with Chen Qingqing's watch, listening to the conversation, and asked, "Butterfly bones... What? Are they used as reflective tape when walking on the street?"
Only then did Shen Qingqing notice her. She was still sloppily dressed in a sports outfit and a sweatshirt, so she reached out and asked Sun Ziyi to find a skirt, but Sun Ziyi refused to wear it, saying it would affect his driving. In the end, everyone couldn't do anything about him and just let it go.
After the three of them packed up and got in the car, Sasa started spraying perfume and then told Sun Ziyi, "Hurry up and open the top. If it's not open, what's the point of calling it a McLaren?"
The three of them even searched Baidu for how to convert the top of a McLaren. When they finally finished and the street lights came on, Sun Ziyi asked as they drove, "Where are we going? To Sanlitun?"
Chen Qingqing took out her phone and typed in the name of a nightclub, "Why go to Sanlitun, old people? Let's go to Wudaokou and see some handsome and energetic male college students!"
-
Sasa hadn't been to a disco with so many young people in years. Everyone's heads seemed to be shaking like that. She thought she was wearing very little, but there were people wearing bikinis. She had been away from normal nightclubs for too long. The ones she attended were all fake dinners with minor celebrities and internet celebrities...
As soon as Sun Ziyi came in, he started looking around, then went in and started strolling, trying to come up with some stories about men and women as material, but the bar was too loud, and the group of people looked like they were watching a pantomime, and he couldn't hear anything being said.
Shen Qingqing was timid when she came in. She had put on five kilograms of highlighter, and her collarbone was reflecting the light. But as Mr. Wang’s wife, she hadn’t been to a disco for a long time, so she didn’t know anything when she came in.
The bartender came over and told them that they could get 100 yuan off the 1,000 yuan if they posted their location on Douyin. Before the other two people could refuse, Sun Ziyi posted it immediately, using a special effect that made it impossible to recognize her.
In the end, the three of them opened a big stage and started drinking. The three women who didn't go to the dance floor to swing opened a big stage and looked very resentful, as if they were complaining about their husbands together.
Sun Ziyi thought the two of them were boring, so he went to the next room with a glass of wine and started drinking. He was quite "dedicated" in collecting materials.
Sasa leaned close to Shen Qingqing's ear and asked, "Is that all? So boring?"
Shen Qingqing said, what I saw on Xiaohongshu is that it’s not the bar that’s boring, it’s us who are boring.
The two of them leaned on the sofa and played with their phones. Sasa sent a message to Shen Qingqing, "I don't think it's played like this in the TV series..."
Shen Qingqing said, "Are you Sun Ziyi? You still believe in TV dramas."
Sasa looked up and saw Sun Ziyi excitedly shaking the sieve with the table next to him. She continued typing, "I guess there's nothing wrong with living in a TV show...it's so joyful."
She didn't know how long it had been before a glass of wine was placed in front of Sasa. She looked up and found that it was the little model holding two wine glasses. She made a drinking gesture to her and then handed the glass to Sasa.
Sasa smiled and was about to answer when the music suddenly stopped and the whole place fell silent. People started talking louder and everyone looked towards the stage, but there were too many people dancing and they couldn't see anything.
When Shen Qingqing saw that Sun Ziyi was not at the next table, she suddenly panicked and patted Sasa, "Where is Sun Ziyi?"
Suddenly, someone clapped their hands on the microphone, using a tone that could easily qualify them for a Mandarin speaking test. "Hello everyone, let me say a few words!"
The person on the stage was Sun Ziyi. Shen Qingqing asked what was going on. Sasa was a little puzzled. "She doesn't look drunk. Maybe she really has something to say."
Sun Ziyi raised the Ace of Spades he had picked up from someone's table and said simply, "Thank you very much for being here today. I know it's not easy for everyone to come here despite their busy schedules."
Sasa and Shen Qingqing looked at each other, still not knowing what Sun Ziyi was up to.
The security guard was standing by and didn't know whether to stop the customer or not, after all, the customer looked quite normal.
Sun Ziyi then bowed to everyone, and when he raised his head again, his face was flushed. "I am very honored today that you voted for me for the Oscar for Best Screenplay. I never thought that the Oscar for Best Screenplay would be here."
After saying this, she put the wine bottle against her face and kissed it twice. Two kisses were not enough, so she took two more.
Shen Qingqing went crazy, pulling her hair in panic, "Fuck, hurry up and pull her down."
Sasa was about to rush over when someone in the crowd shouted, "Oh my god, another one went up."
Sure enough, another person climbed onto the stage, and Sun Ziyi shouted into the microphone, "Xu Zecheng!"
The two men stopped and watched the developments in the stands.
Xu Zecheng said something incoherent as he reached out to hug Sun Ziyi. Sun Ziyi burst into tears, clinging to the Ace of Spades and yelling, "Don't take my trophy! How did I win the award? So you're the sponsor?"
She freed her other hand and slapped Xu Zecheng frantically, "Leave! Withdraw your investment! I, Sun Ziyi, must win the award based on my own strength!"
Shen Qingqing reacted quickly and rushed over, trying to stop Sun Ziyi. The whole bar was in chaos.
Sasa was watching this farce in the audience, dumbfounded and didn't know how to react. She just thought the world was too crazy. Then her phone suddenly vibrated twice, and when she opened it, it was Alipay again. Lin Bozhou had transferred another 200,000 yuan, with a note on it saying it was a voluntary gift.
