Min Shoubei repeated: "I hope you can quit the variety show."

Shen Ci was speechless. How could this tough attitude be called "hope"? It was clearly a "request"...

He had no choice but to bow his head and said, "I, I have to discuss it with the agent. He is a professional."

Min Shoubei frowned: "Give me his phone number and I'll talk to him in person."

"No, no, I'll do it!"

Min Shoubei looked so fierce and would definitely threaten Brother Zhang. Shen Ci quickly stopped him and called Brother Zhang anyway.

It seemed that Brother Zhang on the other end of the phone was still in the studio, and there was a lot of noise around him.

Shen Ci explained the whole process to Brother Zhang. He thought that Brother Zhang would discuss it carefully with the team, but he shouted excitedly: "No problem at all!"

Shen Ci was shocked, but Brother Zhang's voice was still excited: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hurry up and agree! I'll take care of it for the program team!"

He was afraid that Shen Ci would go back on his word, so he hung up right after he finished speaking. Shen Ci looked stunned.

Min Shoubei finally showed a hint of a smile on his face: "You should agree now, right?"

Shen Ci held his forehead: "... Yeah."

I always feel like I'm at the bottom of the grade and am suddenly forced to be sent to a key class for training.

***

Brother Zhang hung up the phone, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

The word "red" was written in Shen Ci's destiny, and his luck could not be stopped at all. The cubs he raised were becoming more and more powerful, and the old hen was extremely happy.

Originally, he wanted to hype up the fact that Shen Ci recognized Min Shoubei as his relative and draw more attention. Unexpectedly, Min Shoubei was even more ruthless and directly wrote a script for him to make a movie!

Brother Zhang has mentored many movie stars, but only a few of them have been favored by Min Shoubei.

Because Min Shoubei never held auditions and always personally invited actors based on his own feelings and ideas, Shen Ci was considered "low-class" in his eyes, and Brother Zhang never had any blind fantasies about him.

As a result, the pancake fell from the sky and knocked him unconscious.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, the director ran over to discuss letting Shen Ci return to the village tomorrow: "Brother Zhang, what are you so happy about?"

Brother Zhang was delighted: "Our Xiaoci is going to quit your show!"

Director: “???”

The director's jaw dropped: "You, you, you, what did you say?!"

Brother Zhang: "Xiao Ci wants to quit your show. His father wants him to practice his acting skills."

The director thought he was joking, but Zhang Ge looked very serious and suddenly felt a little panicked.

The ratings of "Perfect Homestay" are very high, crushing the same period. This is inseparable from this popular traffic star, because countless passers-by have fallen in love with Shen Ci because of his exquisite looks and genuine and unpretentious personality.

This can be seen from the data during the live broadcast.

When the director first invited Shen Ci, he didn't expect that he would have such a strong fan base. He just wanted him to have a nice-looking vase face and hoped that he could mindlessly stir up conflicts to attract attention.

As a result, the whole thing was in perfect harmony, and the program crew couldn't maliciously edit it to create conflicts as a gimmick.

If Shen Ci were to leave suddenly now, there would definitely be some losses.

"This... Teacher Xiao Shen has gained a lot of fans through the show, and there is still a lot of room for development. We will definitely help to expose her more in the future!"

"Besides, the show is only halfway through, and if you withdraw now... the penalty will be very high."

Zhang Ge is a senior in the industry, with more experience than him, and he has the support of Yunxiao. The director can't force him, so he can only use coercion and inducement in a subtle way.

Brother Zhang opened his eyes wide in surprise and smiled incredulously.

"Are you negotiating money with Yunxiao?"

Director: “…”

Finally, the director had no choice but to agree, and even called the village chief to inform him. Fortunately, Yunxiao had enough liquidated damages to pay, so the loss to the variety show would be much smaller.

The two were talking in a corner, but someone with ulterior motives still overheard them.

Jiang Shu pretended to pick up something with a serious look, turned around and walked away, feeling very anxious.

I never expected that Shen Ci would actually leave the variety show directly?

Doesn't that mean that she will never have the chance to use Shen Ci to make herself familiar to Min Shoubei?

She had to think of a way...

***

Shen Ci soon received a WeChat message from Brother Zhang, which contained three casual words: "Done."

He responded with an emoji of a cat waving a highlighter stick: "Brother Zhang is awesome!"

After a while, Brother Zhang sent several 50-second voice messages in succession. Shen Ci resigned himself to listening to them one by one.

There is no progress bar and no way to pause. Who on earth invented such a sinful thing as voice messaging!

Brother Zhang talked on for a long time, but he actually just wanted to persuade Shen Ci to calm down and learn, and not to be impatient and lose his temper.

Besides, Shen Ci needs to go back to the village tomorrow night.

The director contacted the village chief. Since Shen Ci had donated all the 3 million yuan he received from the live broadcast reward to the village, and many villagers were reluctant to see Shen Ci, who followed them to the mountains to pick fruits every day and was sweet-mouthed and good-looking, leave, they all wanted to hold a farewell banquet for him.

Min Shoubei glanced at him and asked, "Is it solved?"

"Yes, can we go back the day after tomorrow? The village will hold a celebration banquet tonight."

"No problem. Okay, it's time to learn. Let's start with the 2009 film "One Hundred Contracts with the Devil" and focus on the performance of the male lead brother."

"OK……"

The lights in the room were turned off remotely, and Min Shoubei turned on the projector and projected the film onto the white screen.

The house fell into darkness, and was repeatedly illuminated and fell back into darkness as the film switched between light and dark.

Lu Xiao had been sitting next to Shen Ci, reading electronic documents, when Shen Ci called just now. Now he was concentrating on watching the movie.

Shen Ci looked sideways at Lu Xiao in surprise. It was so late, wasn't he going to rest?

The flickering light occasionally hit Lu Xiao's high nose bridge, and there was a gleam in his eyes. He seemed to be watching very intently.

Lu Xiao was watching seriously, but he, who needed to observe and learn, was slacking off. Shen Ci turned his gaze away guiltily.

Suddenly, Shen Ci's hand on the side of his leg was wrapped by a warm big palm, and his palm was gently kneaded. The weak electric current in his palm surged up along with the blood.

Shen Ci's breathing stagnated, his ears felt hot, and he clenched his teeth tightly, pretending to watch the movie seriously.

His father was sitting next to him, but Lu Xiao took advantage of the darkness and boldly held his hand.

It was as if a couple in early love were hiding from their teachers and being intimate with their parents. A similar feeling of taboo and rebellion as last night arose again, and Shen Ci's heartbeat quickened.

"Why are you still standing here?" Min Shoubei caught a glimpse of Shen Ci's little move of stealing a glance at Lu Xiao and said coldly.

Lu Xiao stroked Shen Ci's soft palm, drew an ambiguous circle, and smiled softly: "We'll leave later."

Neither the father nor the son understood why he insisted on staying longer.

Five minutes later, Shen Ci's head tilted and he fell asleep on Lu Xiao's shoulder.

Min Shoubei: “…”

Lu Xiao gave him a gentle and polite smile: "Mr. Min, he is already too tired today. Shall I take him back to rest first?"

This guy must have anticipated that Shen Ci would fall asleep, and stayed here specifically to pick up the body.

Everyone was asleep, and there was no way Min Shoubei could get up and force Shen Ci to look, so he could only let him go in frustration.

Lu Xiao carefully picked the man up and walked slowly into Shen Ci's room, performing the movements skillfully as if he had done it a thousand times.

Min Shoubei had an expressionless face as he stared at Shen Ci's feet swaying up and down as Lu Xiao walked, but a hint of tenderness silently spread in his eyes.

He is exactly like his mother, a sleepy little lazy pig.

***

The next day, Shen Ci was kept in the hotel by Min Shoubei for the entire day to study and observe. Not only did he teach personally, he even contacted a few friends for help.

Min Shoubei's good friends are naturally not ordinary people, all of them are veteran actors with award-winning acting skills. Shen Ci was trembling with fear because he really felt that he was not worthy of them.

In addition to watching classic clips, Min Shoubei sometimes also played Shen Ci's previous dramas for comparison. It was a public execution! Criticisms and opinions flooded into Shen Ci's mind, and his head was about to explode!

Shen Ci was very skeptical of what Min Song said before. If Min Shoubei really liked vases, why would he torture him so madly!

He wanted to cry but had no tears, but he knew how valuable this learning opportunity was, so he could only continue to persevere and accept the teachings of the big guys from a distance.

In the evening, when the agreed time to go to the village arrived, Shen Ci immediately became full of energy and ran out happily to find Lu Xiao.

Min Shoubei and Lu Xiao both wanted to stay with Shen Ci for one night. Lu Xiao even had some high-quality ingredients airlifted in advance so that Shen Ci could enjoy the meal more.

By the time the minibus arrived at the village, it was already half dark.

"Xiaoci! I've been waiting for you until all the flowers have withered."

Wei Shuo came forward and put his arm around Shen Ci's shoulders: "Hey, I guarantee you'll have a great time tonight!"

Shen Ci smiled brightly, and when he saw the camera was filming, he started to smile and make biu biu gestures with his hands to send love hearts to the camera. The program crew will photoshop it in later.

The photographer was overwhelmed by the beauty filter and the little hearts, and he covered his little heart and followed the camera closely.

Seven or eight large dining tables were placed outdoors at the place where the last celebration banquet was held. After Shen Ci greeted everyone, he went to the bustling temporary kitchen.

The chef sent by Lu Xiao earlier was the main force tonight. Several artists were also busy in the kitchen helping the villagers. They all looked up and greeted Shen Ci with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a day. How come Xiaoci has become more beautiful again?"

Jiang Shu, who was washing vegetables, giggled at Shen Ci, her eyes full of tenderness.

Artists:?

Normally he's either cold and indifferent or weird, but now he's like this... It really gives me goosebumps.

Shen Ci smiled awkwardly: "It's okay..."

He quickly ran to the chef's place for shelter, and after observing for a while, he volunteered, saying that he wanted to cook a dish for everyone to taste.

After all, this was a farewell banquet, and Shen Ci wanted it to have a sense of ceremony.

"Young Master, can you cut vegetables?" the fat chef teased.

Shen Ci raised his chin and said, "Of course!"

The chef smiled and handed him the kitchen knife and the cutting board with mushrooms on it. "Okay! Then make some cream of mushroom soup. It's easy."

Cutting mushrooms is a piece of cake!

Shen Ci held the mushroom with his left hand and the knife with his right hand, and cut it with one stroke - it was crooked.

Shen Ci cut a few more pieces, all of which were crooked and uneven in thickness.

Shen Ci:?

This is not what I imagined!

"There's something wrong with this knife." Shen Ci said firmly. Otherwise, there was no reason why others' cuts were so neat while his cuts were so ugly.

The chef tried to hold back his laughter and quickly came to the young master's rescue: "It's also OK to chop it into small pieces."

Shen Ci was happy now. He picked up the knife and started chopping wildly, completing the task perfectly.

Afterwards, Shen Ci cut onions, stir-fried them, and added milk under the chef's instruction...

***

"Xiao Ci is making cream of mushroom soup. You will be able to enjoy it in a while." Cheng Yun finished washing the vegetables, wiped his hands and returned to the dining table.

Those who knew him were amazed and laughed. What kind of cook would a young master like Shen Ci do when he opens his mouth?

Wei Shuo: "Oh? Of course! It's very memorable. The first bite must be mine!"

Shao Jinhuan looked at him silently and took a sip of water.

Lu Xiao had a faint smile on his face, looking very kind.

Min Shoubei snorted coldly and gave him a cold and threatening look.

Wei Shuo: “…”

"I'm here!" Shen Ci came over with a big bowl of soup and brought it to the big table where his acquaintances were sitting with a smile.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became tense, but Shen Ci smiled and seemed oblivious to it, immersed in the excitement of "making a big pot of soup".

Wei Shuo silently watched some of the big guys who wanted to stand up to scoop the first bowl of soup, and wisely chose not to move.

"I'll do it." Shao Jinhuan couldn't help but stand up and reach out to reach for it.

“No, no!” Shen Ci quickly stopped her and quickly filled three or four small bowls with water and pushed them to the girl first.

"Ladies first!" He smiled happily, and only continued to scoop new bowls when he saw the girls started drinking.

The three big guys were a little disappointed: "..."

Wei Shuo was deeply moved and applauded Shen's speech. It would be unreasonable not to send him a ***.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Ci looked at the person who had just drunk a sip of soup with shining eyes.

Everyone who took the first sip said: "..."

Wei Shuo managed to hold back his tears. Shen Ci had such a puppy-like expression, who would have the heart to tell the truth?

Forget it, since he's so cute, let's just forgive Xiaoci's poor cooking skills...

But what shocked Wei Shuo was that the three big guys who didn't get the first sip actually drank several sips.

"Not bad." Lu Xiao said gently.

Shao Jinhuan nodded.

Min Shoubei drank half the bowl in one breath.

Shen Ci's eyes narrowed into crescents with joy, and her sparkling pupils seemed filled with stars, so beautiful that it was beyond words.

As there wasn't enough soup, Shen Ci didn't save any for himself, but seeing that everyone was smiling happily, it must have tasted very good.

Shen Ci was a little proud. He made the sobering soup very well last time. It turned out that he had a talent for cooking.

Only Wei Shuo touched his mouth suspiciously, wondering if his tongue was disabled and he was missing taste buds?!

***

Shen Ci relaxed a lot tonight and even drank some cocktails.

Shen Ci's face easily turns red when he drinks. After a few drinks, his face is already red and he looks silly when he smiles.

"Okay, stop drinking." Lu Xiao patted Shen Ci's shoulder lightly.

Shen Ci was unhappy: "That's it? I can drink more!"

Lu Xiao pinched Shen Ci's soft cheek helplessly, his eyes doting: "If you feel stomach discomfort at night, don't pester me to cry again."

Shen Ci snorted and continued drinking.

After drinking too much, the baby became much braver and more irritable, and Lu Xiao had almost no way to deal with him.

After another cup, Shen Ci felt like going to the bathroom, so he stood up shakily, and Lu Xiao also wanted to stand up.

Shen Ci held Lu Xiao's shoulders and pouted: "I just went to the toilet! It's right there."

Lu Xiao looked in the direction Shen Ci pointed and found that it was not far away. He felt relieved and let Shen Ci go by himself.

However, after five minutes, Shen Ci still hadn't returned, and everyone felt something was wrong.

Lu Xiao frowned slightly, with a bad feeling in his heart.

He stood up: "I'll go take a look."

"Together."

Min Shoubei also stood up, and finally half of the people at the table followed him. Even the cameraman who wanted to get more information followed with his camera.

As a result, everyone searched the toilet several times but couldn't find anyone, and they all panicked.

"Fuck, where's Xiaoci?!" Wei Shuo was so anxious that his eyes turned red and he started circling the public toilet.

Lu Xiao frowned tightly, his eyes were frighteningly cold, and the smile on his lips had completely disappeared.

The baby disappeared right under his nose... Damn it!

In such a short time, he must not have gone far. He scanned the surroundings, his eyes fixed on the dense bushes nearby.

Seeing Lu Xiao suddenly walk towards the bushes, Jiang Shu suddenly exclaimed: "Maybe he is in that bush! Let me go and take a look."

Without waiting for anyone's response, she hurried over there, trying to catch up with Lu Xiao.

No! If Lu Xiao finds it first, all our efforts will be wasted!

Lu Xiao walked over quickly and heard faint groans and voices.

"...Don't ask...to cut it off!"

"Woo..."

Baby!

Lu Xiao ran quickly and was about to reach out to push away the dense branches and leaves when a figure suddenly fell out!

He recognized Shen Ci at a glance. The moment he bent down and half-knelt to help him, a ferocious-looking man chased out from the bushes with a sharp blade in his hand flashing coldly.

Lu Xiao's eyes were extremely gloomy, and the anger burning in his eyes seemed to devour people.

The big man reached out to pull Shen Ci, but was caught off guard and punched hard in the stomach by Lu Xiao, causing him to bend over in pain.

"Shit..."

Where is the woman who said she would come to pick me up? How come someone so difficult to deal with came here?

Damn, he was discovered anyway! Why did he say “don’t hurt anyone”? Why should he suffer the loss of his descendants for nothing!

The disobedient vase was lying just a dozen centimeters below his knife. The big man had just suffered a lot under his feet, and he was so angry that he stabbed it with his knife with his eyes wide open.

Lu Xiao was restricted in his position and had no time to block. He subconsciously rammed into the big man. The big man staggered by Lu Xiao's sudden attack, and the knife in his hand rose up with the movement - the sharp tip of the knife accidentally slashed across Lu Xiao's neck.

Lu Xiao frowned and groaned, a glaring red color gushed out from his neck, and warm blood splashed everywhere.

Shen Ci's pupils suddenly shrank, and his slight drunkenness disappeared in an instant, and his hysterical crying and roaring filled the night sky.

"Uncle!!!"
