Chapter 005
In the beauty salon, the clerk diligently handed Xu Yangyang two boxes of facial masks.
“Welcome to visit us next time!”
Xu Yangyang took the mask with satisfaction. After the beauty treatment, her skin was moist and smooth, perfect for being on camera. It was a pity that she had just posted on Weibo that she had sprained her right foot while working out and would be unable to move for a week, so she had to withdraw from the show "Let's Travel Together".
And because of the excuse of sprained injury, Xu Yangyang cannot accept any announcements within this week.
It was a rare opportunity to have such a good cosmetic surgery, Xu Yangyang really felt it was a pity.
What’s even more infuriating is Yan Xi, who was clearly here to make things difficult for her today. If Yan Xi hadn’t been there, she would have gotten the crocodile skin bag from brand B!
But Zhou Qingyu especially protects Yan Xi and is on her side in everything.
Xu Yangyang knew that she and Zhou Qingyu were not friends, she was at most Zhou Qingyu's follower. Xu Yangyang also wanted to get closer to Zhou Qingyu, but every time Zhou Qingyu looked at her with a cold look, she felt that she was not worthy.
Fortunately, he had managed to get an S-class leisurely guest, and still had the funds for the previous travel plan. Xu Yangyang thought that he was not at a loss.
However, the recording of "Leisure Life" will not start until half a month later. Xu Yangyang hopes that she will be in good condition when she appears on camera, as the cosmetic effects of her current treatment will not last until half a month later.
As we were about to reach the door,
Xu Yangyang rolled his eyes, sent a WeChat message to Zhou Qingyu, saying that he had something to do in the evening, and then called the manager.
"I am a friend of Ms. Zhou. She lost her membership card and asked me to apply for a new one so that it will be convenient for her to come next time."
This kind of beauty salon either requires phone numbers or card numbers. As long as Xu Yangyang has Zhou Qingyu's membership card, he can spend money here countless times.
Xu Yangyang felt that Zhou Qingyu would most likely not come here again. Even if she did, she would be too lazy to pursue the matter after knowing that her membership card had been used up and would just assume that she had forgotten to recharge it.
For a rich and beautiful woman like her, it's just one million. She has given Pei Yubai and his company resources worth hundreds of millions. Why would she care about this one million?
The manager knew that Xu Yangyang had just had a spa with Zhou Qingyu, and thought that Xu Yangyang was Zhou Qingyu's friend. Without any suspicion, he asked the front desk to input a new membership card and gave it to Xu Yangyang.
Xu Yangyang took the membership card with a smile on her face.
Celebrity beauty treatments are very expensive, costing tens of thousands each time. Zhou Qingyu still has a balance of over 800,000 in her membership card, which is enough for her to use it more than ten times!
After walking out of the beauty salon, Xu Yangyang felt relaxed and happy, thinking that the trip was worthwhile. When she turned around, she saw Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi standing behind her.
Xu Yangyang's expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Qingyu, Yanxi, you haven't left yet?"
Zhou Qingyu shrugged, "Yan Xi said she left something in the beauty salon, let's go in and look for it."
"Oh, is that so?" Xu Yangyang touched the tip of his nose guiltily, "Then you guys go find it, I'll leave first..."
She turned to leave, and Yan Xi deliberately raised her voice behind her, "By the way, Qingqing, you can't find your membership card, right? I think this beauty salon is very good, why don't you apply for a new one so that it will be convenient for you to come next time~"
Zhou Qingyu looked at Yan Xi in confusion.
She has lost too many membership cards. Normally, she can just give her name or phone number when she makes a purchase. Why is it so troublesome to apply for a new card?
But when Zhou Qingyu saw Yan Xi's cunning eyes, she knew that Yan Xi had other plans, and she didn't reject her, but just replied, "Okay."
Zhou Qingyu called the beauty salon manager, "I can't find my membership card. Can you issue me another one?"
The manager looked surprised and said, "Ms. Zhou, we have already given you the replacement membership card!"
Zhou Qingyu was stunned, "Why didn't I receive it?"
Before Xu Yangyang had even walked a short distance, the manager immediately pointed at her and said, "Look! Your friend just said that you need a membership card and asked us to get it done. We have already given it to her!"
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Xu Yangyang.
Xu Yangyang felt as if he was being stabbed in the back, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Yan Xi didn’t lose anything earlier or later, why did she lose it now? She didn’t apply for a card earlier or later, why did she apply for a card now?
Xu Yangyang now wishes he could find a hole to crawl into!
She turned around with difficulty, walked to Zhou Qingyu, and handed the membership card to her, "Qingyu, I was worried that you forgot, so I helped you to apply for a new card. I thought you left, so I wanted to return to the company and give it to you!"
Zhou Qingyu looked at Xu Yangyang with amusement, "Okay, I got it. Thank you for your help."
She deliberately emphasized the word "trouble".
Xu Yangyang felt even more embarrassed for a moment. She felt that Zhou Qingyu's words were like an invisible slap in the face, slapping her hard and making her feel ashamed.
"Yan Xi and I are going to have dinner later. Do you want to join us?" Zhou Qingyu asked Xu Yangyang.
"No, no!" Xu Yangyang quickly refused, "I have something else to do in the evening, so I'm leaving first."
After saying that, Xu Yangyang fled in panic.
Zhou Qingyu chuckled and handed the membership card to Yan Xi. "I'm too lazy to take the card. It's easy to lose it. You take it!"
Then, Zhou Qingyu pinched Yan Xi's face and said, "Look at you. If I hadn't brought you here today, your skin would be dry! Hurry up, stop reading your thesis all the time, and do some beauty treatments whenever you have time, okay?"
Yan Xi looked at Zhou Qingyu eagerly, "I know!"
——
At dinner time, Zhou Qingyu brought Yan Xi to a private Chinese restaurant.
This restaurant is called Yanshanju, and it is a restaurant invested by Zhou Group. There is no menu. The chef designs and serves dishes according to the ingredients available that day and the number of customers.
Yan Xi had never been to this kind of restaurant before, firstly because it was expensive, and secondly because it was still expensive. She knew that Zhou Qingyu usually didn't eat this kind of private dishes, she had a lot of dietary restrictions and didn't like to open blind boxes.
Sure enough, after arriving at Yanshanju, Zhou Qingyu did not ask the chef to design dishes like ordinary diners, but directly called the chef and started ordering.
It is obviously inappropriate and not allowed to serve private dishes without a menu in this kind of place, but Zhou Qingyu has money and she is the boss.
The chef was extremely nervous when he learned that Miss Zhou was coming.
Yanshanju is located on the hillside of Jinshan Mountain in Haicheng. It is aimed at the wealthy families in Haicheng and takes a high-end route. It has just opened recently and is in the trial operation stage. Zhou Yanci and his father have never been there, but Zhou Qingyu has been there several times and has been able to fire a chef every time.
There's nothing we can do. The young lady is just too picky.
She is arrogant, domineering, and has high standards. Yanshanju wants to take the high-end route and serve the wealthy families in Haicheng, but it can't even satisfy a young lady.
The current chef has already survived a week, but the moment Zhou Qingyu appeared, he knew that his days in Yanshanju were over.
Zhou Qingyu ordered a few dishes and the chef listened anxiously. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.
Yan Xi looked around. It was the first time she followed Zhou Qingyue to Yanshanju. Except for the head chef, everyone else was also terrified of Zhou Qingyue.
Yan Xi knew that Zhou Qingyu was a little arrogant, but she wouldn't be so arrogant that others would be so afraid of her, right?
The system popped up and explained to Yan Xi: [When Yanshanju just opened, Zhou Qingyu brought Pei Yubai here, but Pei Yubai left Zhou Qingyu for Ye Luoyi, so Zhou Qingyu took out her anger on Yanshanju! ]
[She thought it was Yan Shanju's fault that Pei Yubai left! ]
Yan Xi sneered in her heart, "After all, Pei Yubai is just using Qingqing. What he said about being with Ye Luoyi is marketing, and his treatment of Qingqing is just a casual act!"
[In a romance novel, of course the relationship between the hero and heroine is the most important!] The system teased: [Even the engagement between Zhou Qingyu and Pei Yubai was just to create obstacles to the relationship between the hero and heroine!]
As for the fact that Zhou Qingyu was considered a mistress because of the extended engagement, no one would care because Zhou Qingyu was originally a vicious female supporting role.
While waiting for the food to be served, Yan Xi played with her phone for a while. The hot searches on the Internet were still about Zhou Qingyu slapping Ye Luoyi and her being a mistress and interfering in the relationship between Ye Luoyi and Pei Yubai.
Zhou Qingyu once asked Xingyao Entertainment Public Relations to remove these trending searches, but netizens are rebellious. The more you delete the trending searches, the more they will replace them with other alternative words and continue discussing.
Yan Xi finally couldn't help it and asked Zhou Qingyu about the negative information on the Internet.
When it comes to Pei Yubai and Ye Luoyi, Zhou Qingyu's expression obviously changes, and Yan Xi feels unfamiliar with her. "Don't believe what you see on the Internet. Brother Yubai and Ye Luoyi are just hyping up their relationship! He doesn't like Ye Luoyi! The only person he likes is me!"
Yan Xi frowned, "If he likes you, how could he bear to let you be scolded on the Internet? Is hyping up couples the only way to train artists? In this case, Ye Luoyi is not worth training!"
Zhou Qingyu choked.
These words were made clear enough, but Zhou Qingyu seemed not to understand. These words of advice went in one ear and out the other. Pei Yubai was the only one in her mind.
Yan Xi became more deeply aware of the compulsive power of the plot, which was enough to turn a normal woman into an idiot.
System: [Host, Zhou Qingyu will not announce her engagement. Under the current circumstances, unless Zhou Qingyu's luck value reaches 60 points, she will not be able to get rid of Pei Yubai's PUA! ]
Yan Xi's eyes flickered. "In other words, if I can help Qingqing gain 60 points of luck, she will be willing to announce the engagement?"
System: [bingo!]
Yan Xi: "Can't I find a paparazzi to expose it directly?"
System: [The core conflict between the protagonist and the supporting character is not the engagement, but luck. Even if you reveal the engagement now, the hero and heroine have higher luck, and things will eventually develop in their favor.]
[60 points of luck allowed Zhou Qingyu to get rid of Pei Yubai's PUA. This is a phased result. Only when Zhou Qingyu's luck reaches 100 points will things develop towards a normal state.]
Yan Xi understood. Fighting for luck not only saved Zhou Qingyu's reputation, but also a fair chance to face fate.
Yan Xi ate the meal in a dull manner. Her mind was on Zhou Qingyu and Pei Yubai.
Zhou Qingyu habitually wanted to find fault with the chef, but when she saw Yan Xi's sudden lack of interest, she thought that she was emo again because of a breakup, so she didn't bother to criticize the chef and took Yan Xi away from Yanshanju.
The chef breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought he would lose his job.
Just after walking out of Yanshanju, Zhou Qingyu was about to send Yan Xi home, when suddenly, her cell phone rang and the caller ID showed Pei Yubai.
Yan Xi's radar instantly stood up and stared at Zhou Qingyu with sharp eyes.
Under the night sky, the elegantly decorated Yanshanju behind him was eclipsed, and only Zhou Qingyu's eyes were bright and shining.
She happily answered the phone: "Brother Yubai, you are
Want to see me? No hurry, no hurry! It will only take a few minutes, I will come to you right now! "
