Blind date in progress
Cen Yuan shook his head: "No, I booked room 10 on the second floor. They told me you didn't like room 10, so they changed it to this room."
Zheng Jijue finally took his words in, but the content made him feel a little uncomfortable. "Do you want to change it back?"
His mind was a bit confused. One moment he was thinking about what Cen Yuan had said: "Of course the small room on the second floor is better. What if someone saw us?" The next moment he was thinking about the fact that the person he was going on a blind date with was actually Cen Yuan!!!
Zheng Ji Jue was dizzy from this fact. He picked up the teacup beside him and gulped down a cup. He felt the heat rising up and felt uncomfortable all over.
After he put down the teacup, Cen Yuan poured him another cup.
Seeing that he was about to take another gulp, Cen Yuan stopped him, "You can't drink tea like this."
Zheng Jicue seemed to be scalded, his hand moved violently, and he almost dropped the teacup.
Fortunately, I managed to put the teacup away.
Zheng Jicue felt so stupid. If it wasn't Cen Yuan sitting opposite him, he would have run away long ago.
Not counting the time at Shanghai Xishi, this was the second time he and Cen Yuan had such close contact, and it was just him and Cen Yuan.
Zheng Jicue's mind is clear now, but his body is out of control and he doesn't know what to do or say.
My first blind date with Cen Yuan went like this... Oh, right, a blind date...
He and Cen Yuan were on a blind date.
Zheng Jijue's mind was working rapidly.
That bastard Zheng Xi said that the Zheng family spent a lot of money.
His tense expression had already begun to relax a little, but the thought of this made it even more tense.
He clenched his hands, anger spreading from the bottom of his heart.
"Are you okay?" Cen Yuan felt the complex changes in emotions and asked with concern.
Zheng Jijue asked directly, "Did that bastard Xie Qi ask you to go on a blind date with me just for money?"
His face was as cold as ice, and he wished he could rush back to the Zheng family and kill all the Zheng family members, and then go to Changkong Entertainment to kill Xie Qi.
Compared to him, Cen Yuan was very calm. He only raised his teacup to cover his raised mouth when he heard the piano music change from gentle to fast.
But the smile in his eyes was not hidden, which made Zheng Jicue confused. Isn't it?
The Zheng family spent the money, so the only one who could make Cen Yuan make this trip just for the money was Xie Qi.
After returning from Haixi City, Xie Qi had been arguing with Yu Xiushi and the others, keeping him busy. But he was different. From the moment he set foot on the road to Beijing City, he hadn't opened his eyes.
In the past, he would sleep until everything was settled with Xie Qi and the filming start date had arrived before he woke up.
Of course, the reason I'm here today is because of Xie Qi.
"Yes, it's him." Cen Yuan said with a smile.
It was just a scolding, not a threat to Xie Qi's life. Cen Yuan didn't mind someone scolding Xie Qi in front of him. Even if someone scolded him in front of Xie Qi, Xie Qi wouldn't mind.
Zheng Jijue, who had been observing him, had a deeper understanding of the relationship between him and Xie Qi.
He could laugh even after being scolded in front of him. It seemed that Cen Yuan didn't like Xie Qi either.
Thinking of this, I felt relieved. I picked up the teacup and was about to drink it again. When it reached my lips, I remembered what Cen Yuan said. I just drank it in small sips. The fragrance of the tea entered my throat, and everything went smoothly.
Putting down his teacup, he still asked, "You came just because Xie Qi asked you to? What if I wasn't a middle-aged man with a big belly? Or if I wasn't ugly, slick, and confident, would you still be willing?"
Cen Yuan just looked at him quietly, which made Zheng Ji Jue panic. "Well... I'm not talking about you... It's all Xie Qi's fault for being greedy for money."
Yes, what had Cen Yuan done wrong? Xie Qi was definitely the source of all evil!
His eyes fell on the dishes on the table.
His tone lowered a little, "Don't you like shrimp? Why... don't you eat it?"
The rest of his words were vague, but Cen Yuan understood what he was trying to say. He said directly, "I'm afraid you're going to drug me."
Zheng Jijue's expression changed from bewilderment to shock and then to...
Cen Yuan wanted to laugh when he saw this. His blind date always told others that he liked his sister-in-law, and his demeanor was always "I am just like that, and I will never change", as if it was something legitimate and aboveboard. Why did he feel so aggrieved when he said such a meaningless sentence?
Zheng Jijue: "I'm not that kind of person!"
How could he not feel wronged? Cen Yuan actually thought this of him. If it were a member of the Zheng family, he would remain indifferent.
Cen Yuan pushed the small plate to Zheng Jijue, "Then you eat it."
Although Zheng Ji Jue was angry that Cen Yuan questioned his character, he still picked up the chopsticks again and swallowed the shrimp in two or three bites.
Cen Yuan watched him eat before saying, "Actually, I don't eat food picked up by strangers. You seem very familiar with me, but I don't know you yet."
He didn't forget that Xie Qi wanted him to come for a blind date, not just for dinner, so he couldn't be perfunctory since he agreed.
Zheng Ji Jue: “…”
Cen Yuan was right. He didn't know him in the first place. He was acting so strangely the last time they met, and he was even wearing a mask. How could Cen Yuan remember him? It was right to be wary of strangers.
But Zheng Jicue didn't dare to answer. He believed that Cen Yuan must know that he was here to see him, but he couldn't say it himself.
After all, the impression he gave to Cen Yuan was definitely that of a rumored financier who spent lavishly.
To be honest, this reputation is not good at all.
Zheng Jijue's expression was tense again.
Is a blind date so serious?
Is he overthinking it?
Cen Yuan booked this seat, but it has nothing to do with him?
But didn't he just say room 10 on the second floor? Was he hallucinating? He also said that Xie Qi asked him to come, but that wasn't true either?
Or is it that there is someone else who is on a blind date with Cen Yuan?
That must be the case. The Zheng family must have arranged for a woman. He usually thinks he's not embarrassing them enough, so how could they let him go on a blind date with a man?
How could he be so foolish as to think that Xie Qi and the Zheng family would let him and Cen Yuan go on a blind date with the same man!
So who was the woman who went on a blind date with Cen Yuan? Was Xie Qi's brain muddled? Cen Yuan was at the peak of his career, and he was just going to undermine his efforts?
How dare he!
As his mind raced, Cen Yuan scooped two bowls of soup, one for himself and one for Zheng Jicue. Zheng Jicue, still clamoring inwardly, lifted the soup with both hands and drank, as heroically as if he were competing in a drinking contest.
Cen Yuan also drank half a bowl before saying, "Your name is Zheng Jicue, right? I was invited by your father to go on a blind date with you."
Zheng Jicue choked before he could swallow the last bite, and started coughing violently.
He put down the bowl: "You are a man."
Cen Yuan: "That's right."
Zheng Jijue slammed the table and stood up, cursing, "Is he sick?"
He was also sick, but at first he didn't realize that there was anything wrong between him and Cen Yuan.
Cen Yuan shook his head: "I don't know."
Zheng Ji Jue: "..." He sat down and asked, "Then why did you agree?"
He asked this question, but inwardly he was making excuses for Cen Yuan. It must have been that old bastard Zheng Yuanzhou who was using money to bully others. Cen Yuan's crappy company was useless, but he was so greedy that he wanted to sacrifice him. Damn it, once he made a little more money, he would definitely find a way to kill Xie Qi.
Even if Cen Yuan was attracted to Zheng Yuanzhou's money, it was natural for him to accept it. Who doesn't like money? Zheng Yuanzhou, that old man, is so old and has no known illness. If he doesn't die soon, how can he divide his property with that idiot Zheng Xi?
Cen Yuan didn't get into the mindset of his blind date, so he had no idea that his blind date was a filial son.
"He said if I succeeded, I would be given 50 million."
Cen Yuan has never been on a blind date. His brothers have tried arranged marriages, forced marriages, marriages that start with love, and ghost marriages, but no one has ever offered to pay to go on a blind date with them.
This is also the reason why Xie Qi is willing to listen to Zheng Jijue's father's nonsense.
Success does not mean a successful blind date.
How to make Zheng Jicue fall in love with him? When he heard who the blind date was, he felt it was not difficult and it was not surprising that he chose him.
Zheng Jijue was incredulous: "If you film a few more movies, you can earn more than this. If you don't have any movies to shoot, I can introduce you to one."
Cen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That seems to be the case, but your father was very willing to give the money. Maybe there will be other resources we can discuss later."
Zheng Ji Jue pondered for a moment and said, "I've found a way to help you get the 50 million without having to be with me."
Cen Yuan wasn't surprised: "Compared to your father, you are more emotional."
Zheng Jicue looked at Cen Yuan's delicate face and sneered in his heart. He would tear Zheng Yuanzhou apart with his own hands sooner or later.
Zheng Jijue moved his lips, but couldn't smile. He was still very angry. Why did they drag Cen Yuan into their family affairs? It seemed that he had acted too caring about them before, otherwise how could he do such a thing.
After thinking about it, I feel that the money spent by the Zheng family is worth it.
Since you like spending money so much, you might as well spend more.
"Why don't we pretend to be together and get the 50 million first, then we'll break up. I'll pretend to expose you, and you can ask my dad to compensate you."
Cen Yuan didn't agree, but said with a gentle look, "You are such a kind person."
The kind-hearted man and Cen Yuan were having a happy chat here.
The sound of the piano in the lobby was also light and pleasant. Yu Xiushi was originally going to have dinner with Tao Junling and the producers of the new movie.
When he came out to answer the phone, he was distracted by the casual sound of a piano downstairs. Looking down, he could only see the person playing the piano sitting cross-legged. His hands were as cheerful as the sound of the piano, and the strings in his hands were like ripples on a pool of water.
"Xiu Shi?"
He was so engrossed in watching that it was only after the person on the other end of the phone called him several times that Yu Xiushi came back to his senses.
"Read the script carefully and think carefully about both characters. There's no need to do this in advance."
A waiter came up from downstairs. He hung up the phone and called out to the waiter, "Is the person playing the piano in the lobby an employee of your teahouse?"
Waiter: “It should be.”
Yu Xiushi: "Should?"
The waiter said that he didn't quite understand it either, and if Yu Xiushi wanted to know, he could ask his supervisor.
Yu Xiushi only had an idea and didn't necessarily want to put it into practice, so he waved his hand and let the person go.
After washing his hands, he came back and the piano music was still pleasant. He couldn't help but look down again and turned around to walk down.
As soon as he arrived at the lobby, the manager of the teahouse came towards him. When he saw Yu Xiu, he naturally came to greet him.
Yu Xiushi didn't waste any words: "Is the person playing the piano inside from your teahouse? I want to talk to him about a collaboration."
The supervisor hesitated: "This... maybe it would be better for Mr. Yu to ask himself."
The supervisor made room for him. Yu Xiushi thought that the person here might be a temporary worker, and the supervisor of the evening teahouse probably couldn't make the decision, so he didn't think twice and just walked over.
The stage was blocked by a curtain, so only the lower half of the body could be seen, and the most eye-catching thing was the hands.
There were many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, and there were also many beautiful hands. But there were only two or three that he remembered vividly, and these hands were completely comparable to...theirs, and even more so.
His new film, above all, has a perfect pair of hands.
For some reasons, he did not want Cen Yuan to play a certain role. Cen Yuan was better in terms of popularity, commercial value, and personal ability, but it was not what he wanted.
