Still furious, Chen Zhou gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, it's good that you're here today."
Xu Guiying pushed her bicycle over, nodded to Chen Zhou, and then scolded Lao Wu: "Were you mute just now? Didn't you say anything in defense?!"
Song Jianmin touched his nose, "Mom, I just hadn't found the right opportunity..."
Xu Guiying glared at him with exasperation, "Alright, alright, go back now."
Feeling embarrassed, the old woman with the tea eggs pulled Xu Guiying aside and told her about what had happened during the day.
Xu Guiying waved her hand, "It's alright, don't worry about it. Even if they don't find him today, they'll know where Chen Zhou lives tomorrow or the day after. It's okay."
Chen Zhou and Song Jianmin returned to their small home.
Song Jianmin held Chen Zhou's hand and said, "Mom scolded them today, so they probably won't come again."
Chen Zhou pursed his lips and then glared at Song Jianmin.
Song Jianmin was completely baffled. What was going on now?
Chen Zhou didn't want to talk to him.
If Song Jianmin hadn't been kicked out, the two of them could still go back to the Song family home anytime for a meal and a chat!
"Say something."
Chen Zhou: "Hmph, Song Jianmin, tell me honestly, besides the Zhang Qingli incident, did you do anything else that angered Mom and Dad?"
Song Jianmin's eyes widened. Why was he being scolded again?
Song Jianmin smiled apologetically, "No, no, sigh, it was all because I was young and ignorant. It's all tears when I think about it. Those things happened a long time ago, I can't even remember them clearly."
Chen Zhou sneered again.
Song Jianmin: "...Wife, think about it, even Third Brother was kicked out, but at least I stayed home for a while, right? My crime is definitely less serious than Third Brother's."
Chen Zhou: "Stop it! Don't be the pot calling the kettle black!"
Song Jianmin scratched the back of his head. "Let's not talk about this anymore. It'll ruin our revolutionary friendship. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it. Chen Dalu, just get some rest."
Chen Zhou couldn't help but laugh, "Whatever, just cook a couple of big dishes."
Chen Zhou deliberately emphasized the words "main dish".
Song Jianmin: "Okay, okay, okay."
Keeping your boss happy is more important than anything else.
After Chen Qing and his wife were scolded away by Xu Guiying, they did not reappear for a long time. Anyway, he would deal with whatever came his way. Even if they came again, Chen Zhou would not be soft-hearted!
-
December is fast approaching, and the starlit night is about to come to an end.
In the second half of this year, Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu's two planning teams collaborated again on a local culture program, which was approved by Producer Jiang. The project has been submitted, and if it is approved, Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu will have to travel all over the country with the team.
Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu are both restless people.
Even after marrying Han Yi, Zhang Shu still prioritized her career. Both she and her husband were career-oriented, and they were incredibly excited about traveling around with Song Rongrong in the future. They eagerly awaited the approval of their boss every day.
In mid-December, Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu went out for dinner after get off work and ran into Ying Zhengqing again when they passed by a small bar.
Now there are only eight contestants left for the Starlight Night, and Ying Zhengqing always ranks in the top three.
He has a 100% chance of debuting in a group. Even if he doesn't join a group, with his already impressive singing skills and good looks, he can still make a name for himself.
Ying Zhengqing called out to Song Rongrong.
"Sister Rongrong, do you want to go out for dinner together?"
Ying Zhengqing asked around and found out Song Rongrong's name. He learned that she had studied abroad, was a local, and was very ambitious. In short, she matched all of Ying Zhengqing's imagination of Song Rongrong.
Song Rongrong smiled, "It's you. You know me?"
Ying Zhengqing smiled shyly, "I've been wanting to find an opportunity to thank you, so I asked around."
Zhang Shu nudged Song Rongrong's arm and winked at her.
Song Rongrong gave Zheng Qing a disapproving look, then said, "Excuse me, my friend and I have other things to do."
Ying Zhengqing was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Song Rongrong to reject him again.
"I……"
"I just mentioned it casually before, don't overthink it."
Zhang Shu winked at Song Rongrong, who replied to Ying Zhengqing, "Sure, sure, we have time."
Song Rongrong twisted Zhang Shu's waist with her hand, and Zhang Shu's smile widened.
Ying Zhengqing: "Okay, let's go eat hot pot. There's a newly opened one nearby. My friend said it tastes pretty good. I don't have many friends and I don't have much free time, so let's go try it today."
Since things had come to this point, Song Rongrong had no choice but to go, no matter how unwilling she was.
On the way, Song Rongrong and Zhang Shu walked behind Ying Zhengqing.
Zhang Shu leaned close to her ear, "Big brother! What do we do? We work in the TV show industry! Who knows, if they become successful, our show might benefit too! This is real connections! Real, tangible connections!!!"
Song Rongrong: "...Okay."
After a pause, Song Rongrong added, "Don't say anything out of line later. I've only met him a few times."
Zhang Shu drawled, "We've only met a few times... They even specifically asked me what your name is."
Song Rongrong pinched her again.
"You heartless woman!"
Song Rongrong smiled, "You're just as good."
Ying Zhengqing heard their conversation clearly.
Upon arriving at the hot pot restaurant, Ying Zhengqing very gentlemanly ordered food for the two of them.
Since we're already here...
Song Rongrong then had a normal conversation with Ying Zhengqing, and the two talked about what happened on the show.
Ying Zhengqing behaved naturally, without overstepping any boundaries, and showed no signs of the arrogance or complacency often associated with other men. Overall, the meal was quite pleasant.
Ying Zhengqing said he is from the south and his parents came to the capital to work. He grew up in the capital city when he was around ten years old. His parents now run a small shop, which is not very well-off but not bad either. Before participating in the show, Ying Zhengqing sang in bars to earn money while preparing for the college entrance examination. He never expected that he would participate in the show and debut before even taking the exam.
Zhang Shu couldn't help but ask, "So, will you go to university in the future?"
Ying Zhengqing glanced quickly at Song Rongrong out of the corner of his eye and said to Zhang Shu, "This is a rare opportunity, but we can't neglect our studies."
Song Rongrong didn't react to these words, only smiled casually and said, "Keep it up, you can definitely succeed."
Ying Zhengqing lowered his eyes, somewhat disappointed.
This meal was paid for by Ying Zhengqing.
After leaving the hot pot restaurant, the three of them stood by the roadside.
Ying Zhengqing casually said, "If we have the chance to meet again in the future, let's eat here again."
Song Rongrong smiled and said, "Okay."
Zhang Shu: "Ying, good luck! If you debut, you'll be the first big star we've ever known."
Ying Zhengqing smiled shyly again, "Thank you."
Song Rongrong's smile became more sincere. "You're welcome. We're leaving now. Bye-bye."
Ying Zhengqing smiled at Song Rongrong and said, "Bye-bye."
