Chapter 84 Wake Up

Qi Nian woke up a little late because he didn't get enough rest last night. He is not an artist and doesn't need to record any programs, so it's okay for him to wake up a little late.

After waking up, he took a look at the situation on Weibo. After a night had passed, the heat of Zhou Jing's secondary account incident had not diminished at all, and everyone's enthusiasm for watching the show was getting more and more intense.

The main reason is that Zhou Jing's complaints are so interesting that netizens can't wait to connect the nicknames he used with real people, and then get to know some unknown sides of public figures.

Especially the person mentioned in Zhou Jing's microblog who likes to take advantage of others. For example, he often uses other people's shampoo, shower gel and skin care products without their consent. That's fine, but he also steals other people's clothes and turns the tables when he is discovered.

This kind of behavior would be criticized not only by celebrities but also by ordinary people around them.

Moreover, the public's impression of artists is glamorous. When they learn that an artist has such strange behavior, they immediately become curious and want to know who this person is.

Someone turned into Sherlock Holmes and deduced that this person should be someone who participated in "Vote for My Debut" at the same time as Zhou Jing. This person did not mind the trouble and specifically listed the trainees who had been roommates with Zhou Jing and began to eliminate them one by one.

Those who are impatient can directly go to Zhou Jing’s Weibo and ask who this person is.

Some people also said that if you are embarrassed to say it in public, you can send me a private message and I will definitely not tell anyone else.

Zhou Jing had not expected such a "surprise". He had long wanted to complain to others about this person who loved to take advantage of others. However, although he wanted to tell netizens who he was talking about, facing Liu Ge's death stare, he had to give up this idea.

Now that the storm has just been resolved, Zhou Jing is still very well behaved. He immediately said timidly: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm not stupid, haha."

Brother Liu thought to himself: As to whether it is stupid or not, that is not certain.

However, just in case, Brother Liu said: "Your Weibo account is temporarily handed over to us for safekeeping. Whether you can get it back depends on your performance in the future."

Zhou Jing nodded nonchalantly: "Okay."

Brother Liu immediately said, "Don't think about opening a second account to cause trouble, do you hear me?"

Zhou Jing: “…”

He felt that Brother Liu seemed to have become smarter and could actually guess what he was thinking. He had no choice but to nod obediently under Brother Liu's death stare.

——

Qi Nian was relieved when he saw that there was no negative news on Weibo and everyone seemed to be just having fun.

Well... since he has nothing to do, he might as well eat some melon!

At noon, Qi Nian ate the working meal prepared by the program team.

At this moment, Chu Tianheng and his friends have gone to record a program. Their program is a singing competition program. Chu Tianheng, Song Xiaoming and two other stars are the resident tutors of the program team.

Zhou Jing is this episode's guest star. He just debuted not too long ago, so it's impossible for him to sit in the mentor's seat. Even if he wanted to, he would be scolded by the audience.

But the flying guests are almost the same as the students who come to participate in the competition, so there is no problem.

It was obvious that the recording process was quite hard for them, as they finally finished and came back after it was dark.

Qi Nian was originally waiting for Chu Tianheng, but unexpectedly he saw several other instructors. Not to mention Song Xiaoming, he knew him. The other two instructors were a man and a woman. They were different from Chu Tianheng and Song Xiaoming, as they were both actors and singers.

It sounds nice to say that they are all involved, but in fact, the actor named Geng Hongzhe has only sung a few songs. Although they are popular, he can't be considered a professional singer.

On the contrary, Geng Hongzhe is more of an actor. He had a very popular ancient costume drama some time ago. Since he has been very popular recently, the program team was willing to sacrifice some professionalism and invite him to be a mentor.

And the tone of this program is not educational, so there is no problem.

The other instructor is the only female instructor, her name is Jia Yongbi. She debuted as a singer, and although she later became an actress, her professionalism is not a problem.

It is worth mentioning that the heroine of the ancient costume drama that became popular among Geng Hongzhe is Jia Yongbi.

Qi Nian walked beside Chu Tianheng and looked at Geng Hongzhe and Jia Yongbi curiously, and found that the two should have a good relationship. Jia Yongbi was wearing high heels and accidentally twisted her ankle. Geng Hongzhe immediately supported her, and the two smiled at each other, with pink bubbles in the air.

Noticing that there were quite a few people around, Jia Yongbi blushed and pushed Geng Hongzhe away embarrassedly. It was unknown whether the other party was trying to divert his attention or was really curious about Qi Nian, so he took the initiative to greet Qi Nian: "Hello, are you Teacher Chu's... younger brother? I noticed you yesterday, haha."

Qi Nian greeted the other party with a smile.

Chu Tianheng put his arm on Qi Nian's shoulder. He was quite familiar with Jia Yongbi, so he half-jokingly said, "Why? Do you think my brother is good-looking? Then you have good taste."

Seeing Qi Nian's embarrassed face, which looked like he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, Jia Yongbi wanted to tease him and said with a smile, "Yes, your brother is so handsome, why don't you lend him to me and let him be my brother for a few days."

Everyone thought: "..."

The conversation between the two made him feel like a three-year-old child.

He looked at Chu Tianheng speechlessly and awkwardly, and signaled to him with his eyes: That’s enough!

The two of them couldn't help laughing when they saw his expression. Jia Yongbi even said directly: "Your brother is so interesting."

After wearing high heels for a whole day, Jia Yongbi couldn't wait to go back to her room to rest. She smiled and waved to the others: "I'm going to rest first. See you tomorrow."

After she left, Geng Hongzhe followed behind him and watched the two of them walking together from a distance. Apart from anything else, they seemed to be a good match just by looking at their appearance.

Qi Nian looked at it curiously, and then he felt someone patted his head. He turned around and saw Chu Tianheng had just withdrawn his hand.

Qi Nian looked resentful and said, "What are you doing? You just embarrassed me and now you're patting me on the head."

Chu Tianheng watched the assistant open the door of the suite. He walked into the room and took off his coat. He said with a sad face: "I was just praising you. It really hurts me that you said that, brother."

Qi Nian already knew his character well and knew he was pretending again. He rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Second brother, you are such a dramatic actor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tianheng reached out and pinched his cheeks, kneading them hard, like kneading dough: "Qi Xiaonian, your courage is really getting bigger and bigger."

Qi Nian slapped his hand away, rubbed his sore cheeks, and looked at Chu Tianheng with resentment.

It's a pity that his brother is not here, otherwise he would have complained! No, why did he think of him again?

Qi Nian realized his own thoughts and looked a little uncomfortable.

"By the way, second brother, what about those two just now..." Qi Nian couldn't resist his inner curiosity and asked secretly.

Chu Tianheng was flipping through something. He glanced at Qi Nian after hearing this, and smiled jokingly with his chin propped up: "I say, Qi Xiaonian, why are you so gossipy?"

Qi Nian pursed his face a little embarrassedly and muttered softly: "I was just asking casually."

He blinked and coughed softly: "Do you want to tell me?"

Chu Tianheng suddenly threw the things in his hand to the side, leaned back on the chair, and repeated his old trick: "Hey, I've been recording programs all day today, why are my shoulders sore again?"

Everyone thought: "..."

He snorted and stood up: "Forget it!"

Chu Tianheng saw that his brother was upset, so he quickly reached out his hand: "Hey, don't be anxious, can't I tell you when you come back?"

Seeing Qi Nian walk out of the door, Chu Tianheng shook his head and said, "Really, your temper is getting worse and worse."

He shook his shoulders; this time they were really sore.

Qi Nian felt a little bored, so he went out and looked for Zhou Jing.

The two hadn't seen each other since last night. When Zhou Jing saw Qi Nian coming, he was extremely happy and immediately started talking: "Qi Nian, I was just about to look for you. Thank you so much for what happened yesterday. If it weren't for you, I might have to go home and inherit the family business this time."

Everyone thought: "..."

He was a little surprised: "Isn't your mother a director? Can you make movies?"

"No, well, I'm talking about inheriting my father's family business. My father is a businessman. He said that if I can't become a star, he will give me 100 million and let me start my own business first." As soon as Zhou Jing opened his mouth, he had a strong aura of money that made people jealous.

Qi Nian said honestly, "I'm so jealous."

"Ah?" Zhou Jing was a little confused: "Your family is much richer than mine, so why are you jealous?"

To be honest, Zhou Jing would not tell others about his family's strength, because in the eyes of others, he is showing off, but he really doesn't mean that.

Qi Nian: "...I forgot."

Zhou Jing was speechless: "..."

"No, since your father asked you to do business, it means he had other arrangements before. Then why did your mother say that your IQ is only enough for you to work in the entertainment industry?" Qi Nian asked.

"Oh, my parents divorced a long time ago. Maybe they had different ideas." Although his parents were divorced, Zhou Jing was well taken care of, which could be seen from his personality, so he was very open-minded about it.

Zhou Jing: "For example, regarding my future employment, my father thought that he could give me money to start a business, and it didn't matter whether I made money or lost money, the main thing was to accumulate experience. But my mother didn't think so. She told my father that instead of wasting money on this, he might as well invest in her new movie."

Qi Nian: "..." However, it still feels weird.

Zhou Jing continued, "Anyway, my dad didn't convince my mom in the end, so I became a star. By the way, my dad also complained to me that my mom was still as strong as ever, and that he was right to get a divorce."

Qi Nian didn't know what to say: "Haha, uncle can't say that..."

"I also thought he shouldn't say that, and then I told my mother what he said." Zhou Jing said this, probably thinking that he did the right thing, and laughed: "Then he was beaten by my mother."

Everyone thought: "..." emm...

He tried to change the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Who is that person who always plagiarizes other people's things that you complained about on Weibo?"

Qi Nian took out his phone and flipped through it, saying, "I looked on Weibo and there are currently several suspects. They all have valid reasons, but I haven't confirmed which one it is yet."

When Zhou Jing heard this, he thought, if a good friend wants to know this, he must tell him.

Qi Nian also assured: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"It doesn't matter whether you tell anyone or not. I'm not the one who should be worried anyway." Zhou Jing chuckled, and then said this and that to Qi Nian.

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened: "I didn't expect it was him!"

Anyway, he is a person that netizens can never guess.

Zhou Jing complained: "He is obviously quite rich, but he just likes to use other people's things. I suspect he has some weird habit."

Having said that, Zhou Jing rubbed his arms, his disgust evident in his words.

The two of them talked about other gossip, and Zhou Jing accidentally said, "You know? The other two instructors, Geng Hongzhe and Jia Yongbi, are really in love."

Qi Nian covered his mouth and said, "Is this true? Is this something I can say?"

"Of course it's true. There's nothing to hide. Now people are saying that they are together online, and the public has a tacit attitude towards it. It's just that neither of them has made an official announcement." Zhou Jing immediately revealed everything he knew.

Qi Nian curiously searched on his phone, and found that there was quite a lot of news related to the two of them. It was just like what Zhou Jing said, the public had a tacit attitude towards this.

Especially since the man has had a good reputation for many years and has never been involved in any scandal, and the same is true for the woman, so everyone is happy to see this.

Qi Nian ate a lot of melons here with Zhou Jing, and then silently filled his stomach. He said goodbye to Zhou Jing happily: "You should take a rest as soon as possible."

Zhou Jing didn't sleep last night, and was busy recording a show today, so he couldn't hide his dark circles. Even so, he still looked unsatisfied, and Qi Nian was a little impressed by his gossipy attitude.

After closing the door for Zhou Jing, Qi Nian hesitated in the hotel corridor for a while, and finally decided to go downstairs to the restaurant to get something to eat as he was a little hungry.

The hotel environment prepared by the program team is of course excellent, with both comfort and sightseeing needs. Going downstairs, there is a large rockery garden next to the restaurant.

Qi Nian was eating while admiring the beautiful view outside the window. He stuffed a small cake into his mouth and paused. He seemed to see a cat in the garden.

He moved closer to the window and took a closer look, and found that there was indeed a beluga cat next to the rockery.

The tabby cat has a round head and looks quite cute. Qi Nian couldn't help but call out "Mimi". When he found that the cat didn't respond, he realized that the hotel had good sound insulation and basically no sound could be heard from outside.

He looked at the cat outside again, stood up, got some food for the cat, put it in a disposable lunch box, and left the restaurant.

Although the rockery was near the window, the direction was a bit wrong after going out. Qi Nian walked around in a long circle before he got to the rockery.

Originally, he was worried that the cat might have disappeared, but fortunately, the cat was still next to the rockery. Qi Nian called out "Mimi" and saw the cat looking at him, so he tentatively walked closer.

Unexpectedly, the cardinal cat was quite courageous. After seeing Qi Nian, it walked over with cat steps.

Qi Nian was very surprised and asked, "Mimi, why are you here? Are you cold?"

Obviously, the Beluga cat didn't respond to him. It just twitched its nose and looked around for something, as if it smelled food in Qi Nian's hand.

After not finding any food for a long time, the tabby cat became anxious and meowed, and even tried to stretch out its claws to grab Qinian's hand.

Qi Nian was so attracted by its cuteness that he tentatively touched the cat's fur and pushed the food in front of it.

The cat sniffed it tentatively and started eating it immediately.

As it was eating, Qi Nian discovered that the cat had a red rope around its neck with a small cat tag hanging on it.

No wonder this little guy is so brave, it looks like he is a cat with an owner.

Qi Nian didn't bring much food, so the cat ate it in a few bites, then stretched lazily, rolled on the ground, as if wanting to play with Qi Nian.

Qi Nian had just happily touched the soft cat fur a few times when the cat immediately sat up, twitched its ears as if it heard something, and immediately ran in a certain direction.

Judging from its appearance, I guess it was its owner calling it.

This hotel is pet-friendly, so it's not surprising that guests bring their pets.

Since there was no cat, Qi Nian had no choice but to pack up the disposable lunch boxes, stomped his numb legs, and prepared to go back.

After walking a few steps, I saw a light not far away, and it seemed like someone was making a phone call.

"Tsk, I've told you so many times, stop bothering me, don't you understand?"

"Just go ahead and say it and see if anyone will believe you."

"If you get scolded, don't come crying to me to help you clear the air."

Qi Nian turned his head and found that coincidentally, the person on the phone was Geng Hongzhe.

The other person was holding a cigarette between his fingers, with a hint of mockery on his handsome face. Hearing the noise, he turned his head and looked over.

However, Qi Nian was used to wearing a mask when going out, and the other party was not familiar with him, so he did not recognize him. In addition, Qi Nian only heard a few words inadvertently, and it seemed that he did not stop there to listen intentionally. The other party just thought he was an ordinary passerby and did not pay too much attention.

But it's not suitable to make phone calls here with so many people coming and going. If the other party wasn't calling urgently... Geng Hongzhe frowned slightly and hung up the phone without caring what the other party was saying.

He threw away the cigarette in his hand, stepped on it casually, put on a mask and left.

——

Qi Nian was standing downstairs of the hotel waiting for the elevator.

An interview with Geng Hongzhe was playing on a screen not far away, and the other party had a gentle smile on his face.

When the host asked him about his love experience, Geng Hongzhe smiled shyly and said, "In our line of work, where do we have the time to think about these things?"

The host then asked him what his ideal type was.

Geng Hongzhe said without hesitation: "She doesn't need to be what I want her to be, she just needs to be herself."

The host asked: "What preparations did you make before recording the variety show? For example, quit smoking or something like that, since this is a singing variety show."

Geng Hongzhe: "It hurts my throat, so I never smoke."

Qi Nian originally didn't care what was playing on the screen. After hearing this, he looked up at Geng Hongzhe who looked very serious on the screen, and then thought of the other party's skillful movements of holding a cigarette just now.

The elevator door next to him opened and he hurried onto it.

Maybe because he slept during the day, Qi Nian couldn't sleep.

He opened his eyes again and turned on his phone. Liu Yu had just sent him a message asking him if he had slept.

【Qinian】: No.

Liu Yu called immediately, and her angry voice came from the other end: "I'm so mad!"

Qi Nian asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"It's still that Weibo. Now netizens are saying that it's Zhou Jing's fake account!" Liu Yu refused to believe it: "Zhou Jing is obviously very cool, how could he be that stupid!"

Qi Nian then remembered that Liu Yu seemed to be one of Zhou Jing's fans...

Everyone thought in unison: “…”

Perhaps because he hadn't said anything for a long time, Liu Yu asked suspiciously, "Why... don't you say anything?"

Qi Nian hesitated and said vaguely: "You know, celebrities are actually created by people."

Liu Yu couldn't believe it: "Is this true? I was just so angry because some netizens said he was stupid that I posted ten Weibo posts to clarify things for him!"

Liu Yu said in a sad and angry voice: "Guess what happened?"

Qi Nian coughed lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Yu: "Those netizens said that I was also Zhou Jing's alias, otherwise why would I be so anxious to save his reputation, and then they called their friends to come over and laugh at me."

Qi Nian: "Uh... don't be too sad."

Liu Yu complained again: "The worst one is Lu Ze. I just told him about it and he laughed at me. The entertainment industry is really full of tricks. I don't believe in the so-called personality anymore!"

But Liu Yu patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, I still have several walls, haha."

The mood changes too quickly, Qi Nian complained.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, he probably remembered that Qi Nian and Zhou Jing knew each other, and immediately felt guilty, and quickly told Qi Nian: "Don't tell Zhou Jing."

Qi Nian made an OK gesture, then remembered that he couldn't see it, and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell."

"That's good, that's good." Liu Yu felt relieved.

——

After staying here for a few days, Qi Nian became familiar with Jia Yongbi.

However, Qi Nian found that when he was talking with Jia Yongbi, Geng Hongzhe always "happened" to pass by them and then made some gestures to assert his sovereignty.

It's like he treats Qi Nian as his love rival.

This happened several times, but Qi Nian tried his best to ignore it. Jia Yongbi was the first to be speechless. She glanced at Geng Hongzhe and said, "That's enough."

Geng Hongzhe coughed lightly, looked aggrieved, and left reluctantly.

"Don't worry about him." Jia Yongbi said embarrassedly: "You should have seen that we are...in love."

Jia Yongbi was a little shy when she said this, but she couldn't help asking her friend like most people in love: "What do you think of others?"

Qi Nian hesitated for a moment: "Ah... I don't quite understand."

"Okay." Jia Yongbi smiled and said, "He hasn't been in love many times, so his behavior may be a little strange. Don't mind it. He is like this no matter who I am with."

Qi Nian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Did he tell you that he hadn't talked about it many times?"

Jia Yongbi didn't understand why Qi Nian asked that, but she nodded anyway: "Yes."

Qi Nian looked at Jia Yongbi's innocent expression and finally couldn't help but complain: [Isn't Geng Hongzhe too good at pretending? Hasn't he talked about it a few times? He's obviously read countless people! ]

[And the most disgusting thing is that this guy would secretly take private photos of his girlfriend while she was sleeping. He has a lot of photos of his ex-girlfriends saved in his phone! Sister Yongbi, please wake up! ]

Jia Yongbi felt as if she had been hit on the head by a hammer. Her hands and feet were cold and she was unable to recover for a long time.

When I looked up, Geng Hongzhe was walking towards me from a distance, still smiling gently like before.
