The girl in front of the door was wearing a simple sportswear. Her fair face was delicate and beautiful, but as cold and distant as ever.
When she was pointed at and scolded at Uncle Zhang's house, she didn't even frown. Now that she received an apology, she still didn't even look at him.
“…”
Seeing that she didn't respond, Director Zhou suddenly felt awkward and could only repeat himself, "I'm sorry, Ye Lan, I didn't recognize you at the time and didn't know your abilities, so..."
"Want me to stay?" Ye Lan suddenly interrupted him.
Director Zhou was startled, then subconsciously raised his head in surprise, "Hmm."
"It's not that I can't." The girl walked inside leisurely, but as she passed Director Zhou, she added calmly, "I'll stay, you go."
Director Zhou: “!!!”
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and tilted his head to look at the girl, "Are you kidding me? I'm the director!"
"So?" Ye Lan slowly stopped and glanced at the other person. "You are just a chief director."
In the face of capital, it means nothing.
Director Zhou realized the deep meaning of her words, and he felt like he was stunned. A huge haze quickly enveloped his heart, making him completely confused.
No, no, the company won't treat him like this...
He tried to calm down, but the next second the phone in his pocket started ringing.
Ring ring ring.
The ringing sounded as urgent as a death warrant.
The moment he saw the caller ID, he almost threw his phone away.
But he was not in a position to refuse the call from headquarters, and his fingers trembled for a long time before he pressed the answer button.
"Hello... Hello."
The call was very brief, as the person on the other end wasn't polite either. In just a few tens of seconds, everyone in the yard saw Director Zhou's face turn pale and confused at a speed visible to the naked eye... If he hadn't been in front of the cameras, he would have burst into tears immediately.
There is no need to guess what the call was about, everyone knows it.
If he ends up doing the job as the chief director, this program will become someone else's cake.
Finally, he looked at Ye Lan, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he was probably regretting his behavior of provoking the other party.
Unfortunately, Ye Lan ignored him and went straight to the kitchen to boil medicine.
As a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, several girls who were originally resting in the room also came out one after another.
"Xiao Lan, you're back." Ye Qingqing was the first to rush into the kitchen. She bit her lip subconsciously as she looked at the flawless profile of the young girl, Qing Jue. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "How did you get to know Mr. Tang? I haven't heard you mention him before. Did you meet him in the countryside? Why would he go out of his way to give you a gift?"
Ye Lan was just preparing a bowl of nourishing medicine, and he tilted his head back and drank it mouthful by mouthful, ignoring her question.
Ye Qingqing seemed a little anxious and continued to ask, "I heard that Mr. Tang is very low-key and rarely appears in public. Why did he appear because of you this time? Is that account his?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Fu who came in from outside heard it.
"Oh, what else could it be? Of course Mr. Tang wants Xiaoye because she is kind-hearted and helpful, and he can't bear to see two lives lost. Otherwise, how could he, a grandfather at this age, still covet Xiaoye's beauty?" He is a crosstalk performer, and he is famous in the industry for his eloquence and sharp personality.
On his way back just now, he had heard about Tang Hede giving out gifts. He had expected that someone was going to make a fuss, but he didn't expect to run into him as soon as he entered the door.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingqing's face immediately flushed and she wanted to get angry, but after turning around and seeing that it was Xie Fu, she immediately retracted her expression, lowered her head and said a little aggrievedly, "I didn't mean that. I was just worried that my sister would be hurt."
Oh.
Xie Fu sneered inwardly and didn't want to continue the conversation. He turned around and walked to the stove, looking at the remaining medicine soup in the pot with a bit of greed. "Xiao Ye, what kind of medicine is this? Can I drink it too? Hey, I won't take it for nothing. How about one million for a bowl?"
Zhou Siqi happened to pass by and when he heard this, he slipped and almost sprained his ankle.
Then he turned around and saw Ye Lan accepting the check for one million. Xie Fu happily took the bowl of medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Zhou Siqi: “…”
I suddenly felt like an idiot for refusing to be fed last night!
In the kitchen, Ye Qingqing was also surprised by the scene. She was stunned for several seconds before rushing forward to dissuade him, "Sister, how could you give Master Xie this medicine of unknown origin? What if he gets sick? Master Xie, please don't blame my sister. She grew up in the countryside and doesn't know that folk remedies have no scientific basis. We don't want the one million. We are so sorry!"
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to ask Ye Lan for money, "Hurry up and return the money to them, sister. Your family doesn't worry about your food and clothing. Why are you doing this?"
At this time, Ye Qingqing's fans in the live broadcast room were also criticizing Ye Lan for accepting money.
"Haha, even if you become a daughter of a wealthy family, you can't change your beggar's character."
"You're so cheap, Ye Lan! You don't deserve to be Qingqing's sister."
"Our Qingqing is a kind-hearted person, helping her even at this time."
…
These people are die-hard fans and they target Ye Lan everywhere. When Xiao Lan got into trouble in the morning, they didn't go over to watch the show, so they missed the trending searches on Weibo.
Ye Qingqing was actually in a similar situation. After Director Zhou left, she simply turned off her phone and pretended to know nothing, planning to wait until Ye Lan got into trouble before coming out and pretending to be a good person.
As a result, the good man didn't get the chance, but received an anxious message from his mother first.
The Tang family actually supports Ye Lan, and the ID called Tang Hede is most likely the real one!
The news was so shocking that she lost her composure and ran out to ask questions.
And now her first priority is to win Xie Fu's favor.
But when she said this sincerely, the other party did not give her face. Instead, he turned his back to the camera and secretly glared at her.
"This is a matter between the two of us, outsiders should stay out of our way."
Ye Qingqing was choked. Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw the popular young actor Lin Boyu rushing in.
"Hey, hey, I want a bowl too! Damn, why are they gone again? Master Xie, you're so quick and efficient." He held the pot with only the dregs left, sad as a 200-pound child, and looked at Ye Lan with tears in his eyes and begged, "Master, can you let me reserve a bowl? No matter how much it costs."
Ye Lan touched the warm check in his pocket and nodded lightly.
Zhou Siqi, who was still outside the door, said: "..."
He was silent for two seconds, then walked into the kitchen with a blushing face, "I want to make a reservation, too."
Ye Lan accepted all the offers and never refused anyone.
Ye Qingqing was stunned to see her earn three million in the blink of an eye, and even had some doubts in her heart.
Could it be that Ye Lan really has the ability to cure diseases and save lives?
But as soon as the thought came to her mind, she immediately denied it.
If Ye Lan was really that capable, he wouldn't have lived such a miserable life in the countryside. After returning to the Ye family, he clearly wanted to please his parents but didn't know how to do it.
The fact that the mother and child were able to give birth safely was probably just a coincidence of good luck.
