Chapter 21: Is someone arguing?
"How could I lose?" Qi Yan began to mutter to herself, and still couldn't accept this fact.
For a small task, I made myself sore all over and broke my nails, and I even ranked last.
Qi Zhen sat on the sofa at the side with his eyes closed, obviously too tired to talk.
Listening to Qi Yan's complaints, he slowly opened his eyes and said expressionlessly, "It's all in the past. What's the point of worrying about it now?"
"I just feel unbalanced. Losing to Lu Jinsen's group is fine, but why did I lose to Liao Jiake?"
Although Lu Jinsen and his team were not very serious about the mission, Qi Yan felt that it was not shameful to lose to them because they had Meng Chuyuan as their intellectual leader.
Qi Yan was truly upset after losing to Liao Jiake's group. "There are only two of us...and that Meng, what's that? She even went to help others. Isn't that breaking the rules of the game?"
Listening to Qi Yan's intermittent complaints, Qi Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. He suddenly sat up straight and said calmly, "But she also helped us."
Qi Yan sneered, "Qi Zhen, which side are you on?"
He responded bluntly: "You are a hypocrite."
"I'm in charge and in charge?" Qi Yan didn't expect him to speak up for Meng Chuyuan. She suddenly felt an indescribable annoyance in her heart: "That's because you're useless. You can't even fix a hoe. In that case, then fine, if it's still this kind of physical work tomorrow, you can handle it yourself. Don't expect me to help you."
Qi Zhen, who was originally tired and sleepy, saw her desperate look and his anger was immediately aroused. "It's just a broken nail, what's the big deal? Ask yourself, what have you been doing these past two days?"
During the two days of recording the show, Qi Zhen did everything he could and thought he had been good enough to her, but he didn't expect that her princess syndrome would flare up again.
Qi Zhen snorted coldly and said, "You were the one who said you wanted to participate in the variety show with me, right?"
“…”
Meng Chuyuan really didn't expect that he would have to walk such a long way back just to have that dinner.
After walking for a while, she suddenly pointed at the house in front and asked Lu Jinsen, "That should be where Qi Zhen and the others live, right?"
Lu Jinsen hummed casually.
"Let's go in and get some water."
“…”
Before Lu Jinsen could react, Meng Chuyuan had already headed towards the house.
Seeing that the lights were still on in the room, Meng Chuyuan thought they should be there, so he walked over with firm steps.
When Meng Chuyuan walked into their yard, he vaguely heard someone talking, but the sound of the night wind was very noisy and intermittent, so he couldn't hear it clearly, and even felt like he was hallucinating.
"Did you hear any noise? Is someone arguing?" she asked Lu Jinsen with some confusion.
Lu Jinsen still had his hands in his pockets. He was wearing thin clothes and only felt the wind was a little cool, so cold that he wanted to shiver.
When Meng Chuyuan suddenly asked him, Lu Jinsen looked at her in confusion: "What quarrel?"
"Nothing." The cold wind blew in her face, and the sound of wind whistling in her ears. Meng Chuyuan thought she was hallucinating.
Before entering the door, Meng Chuyuan called out, "Hello, is anyone there?"
Unfortunately, what she heard was not a response, but——
"Please, clarify your identity before talking to me..."
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan poked his head out of the door and said without any stage fright: "Hi?"
Qi Zhen and Qi Yan were suddenly startled and looked towards the door almost at the same time, and found that Meng Chuyuan appeared with Lu Jinsen.
"Why are you here?" A hint of doubt flashed across Qi Zhen's deep eyes. She didn't know when Meng Chuyuan appeared, and how much of the conversation just now she had heard.
Meng Chuyuan saw some panic on their faces, but she acted very naturally, as if she knew nothing about it, and asked briskly, "What were you talking about just now? Did I not disturb you?"
Seeing her like this, Qi Zhen thought that she might not have heard it just now, so he smiled and said, "Nothing, we are just reviewing the script."
"You're already reviewing the script right after the live broadcast. You're pretty diligent." Meng Chuyuan turned and glanced at Lu Jinsen, saying, "No wonder you're not popular. You're not as diligent as Qi Zhen."
Lu Jinsen: “…”
Qi Zhen was suddenly praised, and he smiled embarrassedly: "No..."
Seeing them chatting so happily, Qi Yan's face became sullen again. She stood up and said nonchalantly: "I just finished applying the mask. I'm going to wash my face. You guys chat."
After Qi Yan left the living room, Qi Zhen asked Meng Chuyuan and the others, "Why are you here?"
Meng Chuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "I'm just passing by and I'm a little thirsty. I want to ask for a glass of water. Do you mind?"
"Why would I mind? It's cold outside, come in and sit down."
After Qi Zhen invited them in, he poured them each a glass of boiled water.
Meng Chuyuan took the water from Qi Zhen and said, "Thank you."
"I should be the one saying thank you to you. Thank you for lending us the hoe this afternoon."
"It's nothing worth mentioning, why are you saying thank you?"
Meng Chuyuan really finished drinking the water and left, with no intention of staying to chat with Qi Zhen: "Thank you for the water, it's too late and the road is difficult to walk, we have to go back, goodbye."
——
When Lu Qingye came out of the morning meeting, he saw his assistant leaning against the wall and laughing. A layer of confusion appeared in his deep eyes.
"What are you looking at?" He suddenly walked over and glanced at the assistant who was smiling happily.
The assistant looked up and saw his boss's indifferent expression. He subconsciously hid his phone behind his back and called out respectfully, "Mr. Lu."
Although he hid his phone, he could still hear the sound of the phone's speaker.
Lu Qingye seemed to hear a familiar voice and couldn't help but frowned.
The assistant saw that something was wrong and immediately admitted his mistake: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been slacking off during working hours."
"Just know, it won't happen again."
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
Seeing that he wasn't angry, the assistant relaxed his tense mood and boldly took out his phone from behind his back. Looking at the screen that was still playing, he even started to speak arrogantly: "But the wife's IQ is really impressive. And the second young master Lu is so silly. These two funny guys together are simply a source of happiness for us office workers..."
There was no expression on Lu Qingye's face, and there was an unfathomable look in his eyes.
He handed the document in his hand to his assistant indifferently and said seriously, "If you say one more word, your year-end bonus will be deducted."
assistant:"……"
Lu Qingye returned to the office and looked at the pile of documents waiting for review on the table. His eyes gradually dimmed and his eyebrows twitched.
