Seven Loves Extra (V)
Everyone turned around and looked at the business car at the park entrance.
After the business car stopped, the door opened quickly.
The first person to come down was a man, who looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, dressed in designer clothes. His affluent life had made him look delicate and tender. In ancient times, one would say he was 'quite good-looking'.
After the man got out of the car, he stretched first, then unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and started drinking.
While he was drinking water, a woman got out of the car.
Long flowing hair, good figure, outstanding appearance - she is the retired movie queen, Lan Lan.
Lan Lan got out of the car, first glanced at the man, then turned and walked to the trunk, and with the help of the staff, took out four large 29-inch suitcases.
"Honey, come and move the luggage." She called to the man.
The man glanced at her, frowned, and reluctantly walked over, muttering, "Why don't you just ask the staff to move it? We're here to record the show, not to do hard labor."
Ruan Qi and others: ...
[Damn! How bizarre is this? You don't carry your own luggage yourself, but let the staff do it?]
[This must be Lan Lan's husband, Jiang Hengda, right? Damn, he looks like a decent guy, but why does he speak so disgustingly?]
Lan Lan gave up her career to marry someone like this? Is she extremely nearsighted and has poor eyesight?
As soon as Jiang Hengda appeared on the stage, he aroused the unanimous disgust of the audience with just a few words, and even the guests had a bad impression of him.
But in front of the camera, no matter how dissatisfied everyone was, they would not show it. They only secretly reminded themselves in their hearts that they must stay away from the couple during the recording of the program.
However, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop. Ruan Qi wants to record the show in peace, but someone else does not want to be still.
With the help of the staff, Lan Lan unloaded all the suitcases. Jiang Hengda pushed two, Lan Lan pushed two, and together they walked into the park.
However, when Jiang Hengda saw Xi Jiu standing next to Ruan Qi, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he left his two suitcases behind and walked quickly towards her.
"Master Xi, how come you got here before me? I was planning to wait for you at the airport, but who knew your flight would be delayed?"
Jiang Hengda's tone revealed a familiarity, as if he and Xi Jiu had known each other for eight lifetimes. Not to mention the others, even Ruan Qi was a little confused.
She looked at Xi Jiu with a puzzled look on her face: "Jiu Jiu, do you know him?"
Xi Jiu shook his head, looked at Jiang Hengda with his dark eyes, and asked expressionlessly, "Who are you?"
The smile on Jiang Hengda's face suddenly froze.
The comments in the live broadcast room were full of ridicule towards him.
【Hahahaha! You and Mr. Xi are acting so familiar, you're sweating like crazy, right?】
Jiang Hengda is such a snob. Just now he was bossing the staff around, practically looking down on them, and now he's groveling before Master Xi. Was he a eunuch in a previous life? How can he embody the art of adapting to changing circumstances so vividly?
The barrage was full of ridicule towards Jiang Hengda.
The guests present at the scene were concerned about his identity as a member of the Jiang family and did not dare to laugh at him openly.
Jiang Hengda's expression froze for a long moment before he forced a smile and said to Xi Jiu, "Master Xi, have you forgotten? We met at a charity dinner last year. You and my father chatted for quite a while then."
Xi Jiu held a high position, and every time he attended a banquet, countless people would come up to him and try to get close to him. However, he rarely remembered these people and would just casually say a few words and move on.
Therefore, Xi Jiu tried hard to recall for a long time, but could not remember when he had talked to Jiang Hengda's father.
The Jiang family is really too insignificant compared to the Xi family. They can't even enter the first-class wealthy circle in the imperial capital, let alone the head of a top wealthy family like Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu failed to recall the past and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I really can't remember it."
Jiang Hengda could no longer maintain the smile he had managed so hard to force.
But he didn't dare to offend Xi Jiu, so he could only try to make amends: "Ha... Mr. Xi is busy, so it's only natural that he can't remember. Hey, isn't this Miss Ruan? Hello, Miss Ruan, I'm Jiang Hengda from the Jiang family. I've worked with your brother's Yunqi Group before."
After failing to get close to Xi Jiu, Jiang Hengda turned his attention to Ruan Qi.
He knew that Ruan Qi and Ruan Munan had a good relationship, so he took the initiative to mention Yunqi Group.
But Ruan Qi, like Xi Jiu, tried very hard to recall the past and said to Jiang Hengda, "The cooperation Mr. Jiang mentioned is the one last year when my brother's company put out a tender for building materials suppliers, but Jiang's company was disqualified because of substandard materials?"
Last year, Ruan Munan's Yunqi Group launched a new project and held a bidding event seeking high-quality building materials suppliers. The Jiang family, originally a building materials company, immediately signed up for the bidding after hearing about it. However, Ruan Munan discovered that the Jiang family was using inferior materials as substitutes for high-quality ones, and he disqualified them from the bidding.
So, strictly speaking, the Jiang family did not cooperate with Ruan Munan, but wanted to cooperate but failed.
Jiang Hengda didn't expect Ruan Qi to say this directly in front of the camera.
His already embarrassed face almost made him lose control of his expression. He was clearly filled with anger but did not dare to vent it.
After holding it in for a while, he suddenly turned around and loudly scolded Lan Lan: "I asked you to move a few suitcases, why are you taking so long! Why don't you come over and say hello to everyone!"
Everyone was startled by Jiang Hengda's sudden outburst.
Lan Lan was pushing four suitcases towards this side with difficulty. When she heard Jiang Hengda's roar, she paused, lowered her eyes and quickened her pace.
Everyone frowned at Lan Lan's submissive and tolerant look.
[Fuck, I can't stand this anymore! Is Jiang Hengda crazy? Not only does he not work, but he also complains that Lan Lan is too slow?]
[This man is too unscrupulous. He dares to do this in front of the camera. God knows how bad he treats Lan Lan in private!]
[Lan Lan, why didn't you resist? If my boyfriend yelled at me in front of so many people, I would definitely give him a slap in the face!]
Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan are a couple that makes everyone want breast hyperplasia.
Several groups of guests present at the scene also felt a little disgusted.
But they were outsiders after all, and since Lan Lan, the person involved, didn't say anything, it was not in their place to interfere.
Ruan Qi frowned, glanced at Lan Lan, and looked away helplessly.
The atmosphere in the park became dull with the arrival of Jiang Hengda and Lan Lan.
Fortunately, the program team quickly started the next process.
The host, Xiao Yuan, walked in front of the camera and began with a smile, "All four groups of guests have arrived. Now, please allow me to solemnly introduce everyone."
"First, the first group of guests, the famous model couple in the circle - Teacher Shi Su and Teacher Ge Mei! Welcome!"
Everyone applauded loudly.
Shi Sugemei greeted the camera.
"Next is our second group of guests. They are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They are Teacher Ruan Qi and Mr. Xi Jiu! Welcome!"
Everyone applauded even more enthusiastically.
Ruan Qi took Xi Jiu's hand and said "Hello everyone" with a smile.
Then came the third group of guests.
"Let's welcome the popular young couple - Si Lin and Ji Beibei!"
Si Lin Ji Beibei walked in front of the camera and made a big heart with her hands in a lively and sweet manner.
Finally, it’s the fourth group of guests’ turn.
"Our final group of guests is a combination of a wealthy young man and a gentle actress, a collision of calmness and gentleness. Let us welcome Mr. Jiang Hengda and Ms. Lan Lan!"
If it weren't for what just happened, this introduction would be acceptable to everyone.
However, the scene of Jiang Hengda yelling at Lan Lan just now was still vivid in his mind. That arrogant and domineering look was not worthy of the word "calm". So, applying this introduction to him was almost like irony.
The live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
The guests also wanted to laugh, but considering the camera, they all pretended to applaud.
Jiang Hengda probably didn't notice everyone's dislike for him, so he took Lan Lan's hand, walked in front of the camera, and greeted her.
Just when he was about to start bragging, Xiao Yuan was quick to start the next topic at the speed of light.
"Alright! Now that all four groups of guests have greeted each other, let's move on to the next segment!"
Jiang Hengda, who was about to start a long speech to introduce himself, felt a little unhappy, but considering that there were cameras, he couldn't make trouble with the program crew, so he could only pull Lan Lan back.
Xiao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone with a smile, "As we all know, choosing the right accommodation is crucial when traveling. A comfortable living environment will greatly enhance your travel happiness and also improve relationships between lovers."
"Then, next up is the most classic room selection part of our show. The rules are as follows—"
"There are four groups of guests. Each group will select one person to compete in a push-up competition, and the other person will sit on their back. The group that does the most will choose the best house. Do you understand?"
The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.
[Oh my god! Double push-ups! I love this part!]
[The program team understands the audience's heart. Male guests, it's time to show your boyfriend power! ]
[Hurry up, hurry up! I want to see Ruan Qi lying on top of Master Xi! ]
Push-ups are a popular sport among couples. Whether a girl is lying on her boyfriend's back or underneath him while he's doing push-ups, it's a very attractive sight.
The atmosphere at the recording site suddenly became excited.
"Ah? A push-up competition?" Shi Su, the oldest, was dumbfounded. "I'm already 45, and you want me to do push-ups? And I have to carry my wife on my back?"
Ruan Qi, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Shi, we can't admit that we are old!"
Shi Su: "I don't want to admit I'm old, but my waist won't allow it. Honey, take it easy for a while, or you might have to cook for yourself when you get home this time."
Ge Mei was amused and laughed out loud.
Another group of Si Lin and Ji Beibei have already started to get ready.
"Push-ups are no problem for us. We'll definitely be first this time!"
Si Lin and Ji Beibei are from a boy group and a girl group. They practice dancing regularly and have good physical strength and endurance. Push-ups are indeed a piece of cake for them.
Si Lin looked eager to try, intending to win first place and live in the best house.
But Ji Beibei couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "Don't underestimate the enemy. I feel that Mr. Xi has excellent physical strength. We may lose to him."
Si Lin's head, which was filled with passion, suddenly felt cold.
"No, I can't?" He turned to look at Xi Jiu. Xi Jiu was a standout among men in both height and build. However, because he was wearing a loose-fitting casual shirt, Si Lin couldn't really tell if he had any muscles underneath.
"Mr. Xi is so busy, sitting in the office every day, he probably doesn't have time to exercise, right?" Si Lin was a little uncertain.
Ji Beibei shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that Teacher Ruan knows Kung Fu and can tear apart a tin car with her bare hands. The man who can match her should not be much worse. Anyway, you should be careful and don't underestimate the enemy."
After a one-minute warm-up, the game is about to begin.
Xi Jiu, Shi Su, Si Lin, and Jiang Hengda stood side by side, while Ruan Qi and the other four girls stood behind them.
"Jiujiu, it will be almost done in a moment. Don't tire yourself out." Ruan Qi stood behind Xi Jiu, tiptoed and whispered in his ear, "I don't have high requirements for a place to live. As long as it doesn't leak wind or rain, it's fine."
[Wow! The game hasn't even started yet, and you're already feeling bad?]
[Hey! What are you guys whispering about? Ruan Qi, did you forget you had a microphone?]
[Hey! You don't have high requirements for accommodation? I'm happy to eat coarse food as long as I'm with you?]
The various sarcastic jokes in the barrage made everyone laugh.
Ruan Qi didn't know about the livestreaming. She just thought it was fine to take it easy on her since she was traveling. Winning first place in the competition didn't matter to her. Besides, Si Lin and Jiang Hengda both looked sturdy, and she didn't want Xi Jiu to suffer.
Xi Jiu knew that the little girl felt sorry for him, so he pinched her little hand, then bent down, supported himself with his hands, and prepared for push-ups.
"Okay - now, all four girls, please sit on your partners' backs!"
Ji Beibei was the first to move, sitting cross-legged on Si Lin's back.
Ruan Qi followed closely behind. She took off her shoes and sat down on Xi Jiu's back, where his waist was most flat.
"Jiujiu, how do you feel?"
"It's very light." Xi Jiu supported his body steadily, "It won't be a problem if a few more Xiao Qi sit on it."
Ruan Qi was amused by his words, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes curved into crescents.
After the four female guests were seated, Xiao Yuan raised his hand and said, "Okay! Everyone, take your seats. Let's begin!"
As soon as the words fell, the four male guests who were supporting themselves on the ground all started to move.
Among them, the fastest one was Si Lin. He was the youngest among the male contestants, with good physical strength and enthusiasm. He sat ten in a row at the beginning of the competition.
Ji Beibei, who was sitting on his back, cried out excitedly, and at the same time reminded him: "Don't go too fast! Keep your energy up for a long battle!"
On the other side, Xi Jiu and Shi Su were also in good condition.
Xi Jiu was a big deal; the other three male guests combined might not even be as strong as him. Shi Su, however, was a bit of a surprise; his stamina was even better than expected. While doing push-ups, he didn't look like a 45-year-old at all.
As the fourth male guest, Jiang Hengda is the worst among the four men.
He loved the life of feasting and drinking, and his body had long been hollowed out by it. Although he went to the gym on weekdays, his muscles were all built up from protein powder, and they looked good but were useless.
Now, he had just done twenty or so push-ups with Lan Lan on his back, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
But for the sake of face, Jiang Hengda still persisted painfully.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the competition entered a white-hot stage.
See you tomorrow~
