Chapter 97 Helping Others
After confirming the information he wanted, Xie Tinglan went back downstairs.
Xie Zhenyue was the only one in the living room.
"Where's mom?" Xie Tinglan asked.
Xie Zhenyue, who was typing away, paused to show respect for her brother and looked up to answer, "Mommy's out... She said she went next door to see Aunt Su..."
Xie Tinglan understood. Perhaps it was because he had returned and brought some news about Xia Linxing that Ms. Wang couldn't wait to sync up with her good friend.
"Brother, do you have something to talk to Mommy about?" Xie Zhenyue asked curiously.
"No..." Xie Tinglan shook his head, then walked over and sat down on the sofa next to Xie Zhenyue, "I'm looking for you..."
"ah?"
Looking for her?!
Xie Zhenyue sat up straight and said, "Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"
She subconsciously began to think about whether she had done something during this period that was caught by her brother.
Hiss... Xie Zhenyue took a breath of cold air: Could it be that Xie Tinglan knew that she was secretly supporting her brother and Xia Linxing?
This shouldn’t be the case… Xie Zhenyue’s eyes rolled around: She hadn’t told anyone about her secret CP, and even when she was doing it, she was alone in her room, for fear that when she was too excited, the housekeeper Uncle Zhang or her mommy and daddy would suddenly pass by behind her.
Come to think of it, the rest of their family didn't seem to know that Xie Tinglan and Xia Linxing were now a couple online...
As for her brother... Xie Zhenyue raised her head with a heavy heart and secretly glanced at her brother's face: Xie Tinglan... should know... right? However, Xie Zhenyue didn't have the courage to ask Xie Tinglan.
"Are you a hen, cluck, cluck?" Xie Tinglan complained bluntly. He leaned back on the sofa, tapping the armrest with his fingers. "I want to ask you..."
"Xia Linxing...whatever he likes, he hates..."
"Ah?!" Xie Zhenyue was completely stunned.
After hearing what Xie Tinglan said, her first reaction was to turn her head and look out the window.
There's no red rain falling from the sky! Why is her brother suddenly concerned about Xia Linxing?!
"What? You don't know either?"
Seeing that Xie Zhenyue didn't answer for a long time, but turned his head to look out the window stupidly, Xie Tinglan frowned slowly.
Did he ask the wrong person? But hadn't Xie Zhenyue and Xia Linxing always been good friends? It was just a question of preference, so it should be easy to answer...
"Ah..." Xie Zhenyue came back to her senses and quickly said, "Oh, I know, I know, brother..."
"Let me think about it..."
Xie Zhenyue tried hard to recall: "I remember... Brother Xingxing doesn't like spicy food."
...Don’t like spicy food?
Xie Tinglan's expression paused slightly.
If his memory served him right... Xia Linxing had just been admitted to the hospital due to stomach discomfort after secretly eating spicy hot pot in the dormitory...
Is this "not liking spicy food"?
However, Xie Tinglan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa.
What Xie Zhenyue said... should not be wrong——
After all, only people who don’t eat spicy food will experience gastrointestinal discomfort after suddenly eating something so spicy.
"What else?" Xie Tinglan concealed the expression on his face and continued to ask calmly.
"And..." Xie Zhenyue racked her brains to recall, "Brother Xingxing... Brother Xingxing... Oh, Brother Xingxing likes fancy things."
After saying this, Xie Zhenyue couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
You can tell from the style of clothes he wears and buys on a daily basis.
Xie Tinglan's eyes suddenly flashed with the image of the only time Xia Linxing wore casual clothes (when he went out to the haunted house to shoot on location) - a white T-shirt and trousers, as plain as a college graduate.
...Another difference.
"Oh, right!" Xie Zhenyue suddenly slapped her thigh and added excitedly, "I remember now!"
"Xingxing is allergic to mangoes!"
"That's why he won't even eat mango flavored things!"
"He's allergic?" Xie Tinglan repeated thoughtfully.
"Yeah..." Xie Zhenyue nodded and replied, "Brother, you must have forgotten... When Xingxing was a kid, he was playing at our house. At that time, he didn't know he was allergic to mangoes. While eating the fruit with us, a rash broke out on his face and he was sent to the hospital..."
"I was so scared at that time..." She still remembered that she was so scared that she cried loudly, and she thought Xia Linxing was poisoned and was going to die.
"Yeah……"
Xie Tinglan seemed to be thinking about something, and had an idea in his mind.
…
Xie Tinglan returned to the program crew on time.
As soon as he returned to the base, he saw that the program crew seemed... in chaos.
What happened? Something happened while he was away?
Xie Tinglan subconsciously took out his mobile phone to check the hot searches, but found that there was no activity on the hot searches, and there were no entries related to their program team at all.
Huh? What happened? He grabbed a "lucky" staff member and asked, "What happened?"
"Ah... Teacher Xie! You're back!" The staff member was walking hurriedly and was quite annoyed when he was pulled back. However, when he looked up and saw who was pulling him back, his eyes lit up.
Xie Tinglan responded, pointed at the group of staff members in front who were in a mess, and repeated, "What's going on? What happened?"
"Oh, that..." The staff member turned around and took a look, then replied, "That's because Teacher Zhou Xubai asked for leave..."
The second public performance has ended and the second ranking has been announced. Just like the arrangements after the first performance, the program team has arranged other activities for the trainees.
However, not all trainees will be able to participate this time, because this time the activity is to shoot a business film.
Advertising business is actually one of the skills that trainees need to learn, so the program team thoughtfully arranged for mentor Zhou Xubai, who has rich experience in this area and also debuted as a trainee, to lead these trainees to the filming.
By the way, instructor Zhou Xubai can also teach them some experience and skills.
But Zhou Xubai suddenly received a notice that he had to attend an award ceremony.
Compared to taking trainees who have nothing to do with him to shoot business, Zhou Xubai's own award ceremony is definitely more important; so although the program crew was a little unhappy, they also knew that they had no right to stop Zhou Xubai from participating.
Zhou Xubai took two days off, but the sponsor had scheduled the shoot for tomorrow.
So the production team was extremely worried, not knowing which mentor to let lead the trainees.
After all, apart from Zhou Xubai, the other mentors are all big names. It's OK to have these (big-name) mentors give the trainees some guidance on set, and it's OK to take the trainees out for location filming, but asking them to simply take the trainees out for business filming... the production team really can't bring themselves to do that.
After all, no matter which mentor is asked, it seems to invisibly lower that mentor's status; but the program team is not so bold as to ask four mentors to take the trainees out at the same time, just to shoot a business for the trainees.
The production team has begun to consider whether it is feasible to "let the trainees go by themselves."
"I see..."
Xie Tinglan nodded and asked casually, "Which trainees are going this time?"
“Oh…” The staff member didn’t think too much about it and answered directly: “The trainees who are going to shoot the business this time are designated by the sponsor…” It was not arranged by their program team.
"Teacher Xie, look, this is the list." The staff member was originally going to notify the trainees, so he handed over the list.
Xie Tinglan took it.
"Since Teacher Zhou Xubai is not available..."
His eyes fell on the three words "Xia Linxing" on the list, and he smiled slightly: "Then I'll take them there..."
It just so happened that he had some "little experiments" he wanted to do...
