Chapter 170 Is it you?
"It's you?" Hu Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and looked at the overly enthusiastic Chang Wanming.
"Yes, it's me! I came here specifically to find you!" Chang Wanming pointed at the staff in the distance and said, "I asked several people before I knew you were here."
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the staff in the distance for a moment, then asked Chang Wanming, "Did you see anyone running past this way just now?"
Chang Wanming said blankly, "No, this is the women's locker room. Apart from the guests on the show, no one comes here, let alone runs. Did something happen?"
"Nothing." Hu Xiaoxiao didn't want to say more, so he let go of this matter for the time being and asked him, "What do you want from me?"
"I came all the way here to apologize to you," Chang Wanming said with deep shame. "I never thought that your kindness that night would lead to paparazzi photographing and scribbling all over you. Xiaoxiao, I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble. If I had known this would happen, I would have run home in the rain that day rather than let those paparazzi take pictures and write all over you."
Chang Wanming felt more and more guilty as he spoke. His eyes were cautious and he almost didn't dare to look at Hu Xiaoxiao. His eyelashes were very long and fluttered, making him look innocent and pitiful.
"There are a lot of paparazzi lurking around the TV station, so it's not surprising that they caught me in the photo."
Hu Xiaoxiao didn't take the gossip seriously. How could there be no scandals in the entertainment industry? And this wasn't the first time she'd been rumored to have had a scandal. When she first debuted, she was rumored to have had dinner with Mr. Cheng from Baozhutai.
Later, when she attended events, gossip magazines wrote many rumors about her and Xie Zhiheng, which were very detailed and only stopped short of saying that they were living together. In recent years, she has collaborated with Mingxu in many dramas, and she has also been involved in scandals, and even said that she and Mingxu are about to get married.
There were many scandals in the past, and there will be even more in the future.
Chang Wanming quickly said, "But people in the community are very gossipy. How about I go and explain to the reporters that you're helping me out of kindness?"
"The more you explain, the worse it gets. It will be over in a few days. If there's nothing else, I have a show to record, so I'll leave first."
"Wait." Chang Wanming called Hu Xiaoxiao and opened the bag in his arms, revealing the dried goods inside. He said, "This is the seafood I dried at home. It's not worth much. I hope you don't mind it being cheap."
Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao was about to refuse, he said anxiously, "I know you said no last time, but my grandfather knew that it was a colleague who sent me back, so he insisted that I do it. Xiaoxiao, I really thank you for that night. When I got home, the power was out and my grandfather was getting up and almost fell.
Old people are most afraid of falling. If I hadn't gotten back in time, my grandfather might have been in trouble. When my parents got home and learned about this, they said they really wanted to thank me and treat me to a meal. But I refused. I had already caused you so much trouble, how could I cause you more trouble?
But they insisted that I give them these seafood. If I didn't, they would say I was unfilial. My grandfather almost beat me, saying I was heartless. Xiaoxiao, this thing is not worth much, it's just a thank you gift. Please accept it, otherwise my family will not be happy.
Hu Xiaoxiao frowned as she saw Fei Yi coming over to her. Apparently, they were about to start recording the show. Seeing Chang Wanming again, he was so pitiful and insisted that she accept it. He acted like he couldn't explain to his elders if she didn't accept it. It was really fussy. She opened her bag, took out a wad of money, and stuffed it into Chang Wanming's hand. "Just think of it as me buying it. We'll be even from now on."
After saying that, he took the seafood and walked towards Fei.
"Xiaoxiao, the soup is almost ready. Aunt Dan wants you to come over and taste it to see how salty it is. Do you like it lighter or saltier?" Fei asked.
"I'm fine with either. Aunt Dan knows how to make soup, and the seasoning she uses is definitely the best. It's up to Aunt Dan to decide how salty it is." Hu Xiaoxiao's face brightened up when he heard that there was a delicious soup to drink.
Feiyi saw something in Hu Xiaoxiao's hand that she hadn't seen before, and asked, "What is this?"
"Some seafood. Aunt Dan knows how to make soup, right? Send it to Aunt Dan later and use it as ingredients for your program. This will save you some money."
"Wow, you just said you would provide the ingredients, and they are ready now. Xiaoxiao, you are so nice." Fei was so moved that she went up to hug Hu Xiaoxiao and shook his arm.
"Just know that I'm good. You have to treat me to a meal when you get your salary."
"Please! You must! I'll treat you to morning tea and white-cut chicken!"
The two girls chatted and laughed as they arrived at the studio of "Auntie Dan Makes Delicious Soup". As soon as they entered the room, a fragrant aroma hit their noses.
Hu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath of the fragrance and felt even hungrier.
She walked into the studio, which was converted from a large room. On the left was an open kitchen, used to display ingredients and make soup. On the kitchen display shelves were several kinds of kitchen utensils, seasonings, and ingredients, which looked very complete.
The right side is made into a cozy little restaurant, suitable for drinking soup while chatting with the audience.
Hu Xiaoxiao's arrival excited the studio staff, who all greeted her. The host, Auntie Dan, also came over, her round face full of smiles. "Thank you, Miss Hu, for being our guest. You've really brightened up our show. Welcome!"
Aunt Dan is not tall, but she has a round face and a kind smile. She is wearing a red apron with five golden words written on it: Mu Guiying takes command.
Hu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise, "When was this apron made?"
Faye, with a look of begging for praise, said, "I just made this. It's my idea. It's crude, but it's eye-catching. What do you think of the effect?"
Hu Xiaoxiao looked at Fei Yi with admiration. In such a short time, she only put on some makeup, but Fei Yi had a new apron made for her and even wrote words on it with gold powder.
Amazing! No wonder she was able to snag the director position and create a show on her own despite being ostracized by many. Although the ratings aren't high, judging by the times I've seen Faye with a pile of information to study, it's only a matter of time before the show becomes a success under her leadership.
Hu Xiaoxiao immediately praised Fei Yi sincerely, from everything between heaven and earth, and also praised the staff of the program team, making everyone's face full of smiles.
Fei was a little embarrassed by the praise and said, "Our efficiency is also forced out. We are short of manpower and experience. We can only learn as we go along. Whatever comes to mind, we do it immediately. When there are not enough people, one person does the work of several people. This practice has improved our efficiency."
Aunt Dan had brought over half a bowl of soup and asked Hu Xiaoxiao to taste the saltiness.
Hu Xiaoxiao was already hooked by the soup. He put down the bag in his hand, took the soup, and immediately tasted it. His eyes lit up, "This soup is so delicious, much better than the soup in restaurants and hotels. The ginseng flavor is so strong, and the pigeon is so fresh."
"Of course, all the ingredients we use are the best. I personally purchased them all. I'm not trying to be perfunctory at all." Aunt Dan was very happy to see Hu Xiaoxiao liked the soup. She saw the bag Hu Xiaoxiao had placed on the table, the bag open, revealing the contents. She took a look and exclaimed.
