Chapter 030

Guests

All the rooms are on the second floor of the B&B. Because she likes quietness, Zhou Qingyu chose the innermost room.

It was late at night and the guests and staff were all resting.

Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu walked towards the room. When they passed by Jiang Tao's room, they suddenly heard Jiang Tao's cry.

Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi were startled. The door of the room opened and Jiang Tao rushed out with a smile on his face.

"I got investment! I got investment!"

Xiao Yu held Jiang Tao back, "It's too late, don't disturb others!"

Jiang Tao chuckled, "I'm happy!"

Seeing Zhou Qingyu head-on, Jiang Tao was even more arrogant, "Zhou Qingyu, you should have been allowed to guest star in my play earlier. Now that I have raised investment, you have no chance!"

Zhou Qingyu snorted coldly. She didn't care about Jiang Tao's resources.

"However," Jiang Tao changed the subject, "I don't think your acting is as bad as people say on the Internet. If you want, the role of the gangster lady can still be reserved for you! Zhou Qingyu, let me tell you, those who asked you to act in the past were too bad. What kind of role did they let you play? It didn't fit your face at all. It's better for me to play a cameo..."

Zhou Qingyu interrupted Jiang Tao, "No need! I'm not interested in your play! But you, how much investment did you get? Are you so happy?"

Jiang Tao made a 2 gesture, "The other party just contacted me and said they are willing to invest 20 million!"

This number is not low. Jiang Tao plans to raise 30 million yuan, and 2/3 of the financing has been completed.

"Then Director Jiang will continue recording the variety show?" Yan Xi asked.

She remembered that in the novel, Jiang Tao, Xiao Yu, and Qin Li were only recorded at Country F. Afterwards, the three of them went to film "Bottom Line" and replaced the guests on the show.

"Of course not! Xiaoyu and I were just flying guests, so we only recorded one stop!" Jiang Tao's voice was full of pride, "We completed the task on the third day, not bad! I thought I had to wait until I returned to China to get the investment!"

Jiang Tao was a little worried before. He felt that being a director on a variety show might not attract investment. It was Director Yu who persuaded him that Jiang Tao decided to give it a try. Now it seems that the variety show has been more successful than he expected.

"Is the male lead still Shen Xinghe?" Yan Xi asked again.

Jiang Tao looked at Yan Xi suspiciously, thinking her question was very strange. "Of course, he is the most suitable actor for the male lead. I would never replace him."

Yan Xi frowned. In the novel, Jiang Tao is a marginal character, and there is not much space to describe the process of him attracting investment. Yan Xi does not know the specific situation. But if Jiang Tao attracts investment, the male lead is still Shen Xinghe?

What about Qin Li? "The Bottom Line" was the cornerstone of Qin Li's transformation and popularity, making him the TV King and qualified to stand with Ye Luoyi. Now without "The Bottom Line", how can Qin Li become one of the many male supporting actors who are fascinated by Ye Luoyi?

The system interrupted, "Host, could it be that because of Dajia-kun, Qin Li's fate has also been rewritten? Didn't you also change Xu Yangyang's future?"

Yan Xi shook her head. "Xu Yangyang was slapped in the face, but the premise is that she got the luck from Qingqing, and that luck returned to Qingqing through me. This time, Da Jiajun's house was indeed ruined, but Qin Li hid very deeply, and even Wu Liao couldn't dig him out. He was not affected by this incident."

If the fate did not change and no one else intervened, how could the plot be changed?

Jiang Tao made such a commotion that even Qin Li, who lived next door, noticed it and opened the door out of curiosity.

After learning that Jiang Tao had obtained financing, he looked calm and there was no trace of disappointment on his face.

"Congratulations, Director Jiang."

Jiang Tao patted Qin Li's shoulder vigorously, "I have already decided on the male lead, but Xiao Qin, you are a good candidate, let's work together next time!"

Qin Li's lips curled up slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. "Okay."

——

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the trip to Country F.

Compared to the previous two days when the guests made their own travel plans, today the guests' itineraries were unprecedentedly unified.

Licheng Fashion Week has begun.

Jiang Tao and Xiao Yu are behind-the-scenes workers and have no interest in Fashion Week. However, since they received the investment, they went out early in the morning to book the previously confirmed shooting location.

The remaining three groups of guests, Zhou Qingyu, Ye Luoyi, and Qin Li, will all participate in the fashion week.

After having breakfast prepared by Louis at the B&B, Zhou Qingyu brought Yan Xi to a styling studio.

This styling studio is called Blue, and it is one of the best styling studios in Licheng.

The stylist chose a light blue couture fishtail dress for Yan Xi. The skirt fits the curves of the body and gradually spreads out below the knees, forming a beautiful fishtail skirt. The skirt is dotted with tiny diamonds, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Yan Xi is not a celebrity and does not have any brand sponsorship, so there is no such thing as borrowing a dress. The selected dress must be purchased.

Zhou Qingyu didn't care about this at all. Although she was a star, she only wore skirts that she liked and all her dresses were bought. In her eyes, there was no such thing as "borrowing". Buying a skirt for Yan Xi was just a matter of convenience.

There was no tag on the haute couture dress. Yan Xi asked the stylist who was helping her arrange the dress, and she was told that the haute couture dress was from Mr. C and cost one million.

Yan Xi: “…”

One million, easy to get.

Zhou Qingyu's styling is more complicated than Yan Xi's. She is a female star who will be taking photos at Fashion Week. Her usual styling team and photography team are here. The former will help her with styling at blue, and the latter will go to Licheng to find a suitable place for taking photos, which will facilitate the production of the photos later.

While Zhou Qingyu was doing her styling, Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling came out of the dressing room.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road, today the two of them are also doing styling in blue.

Zhou Qingyu didn't see Ye Luoyi because of the huge three-dimensional ecological plant wall decoration on her side. She was playing a stupid game on her phone while having her hair done by a stylist.

"Were we cheated out of 30 million?" Su Lingling's voice came from the other side of the plant wall.

"I also heard it from others. Who would have thought that the scammer approached my friend from the beginning just to cheat her out of her money."

"Didn't you call the police?"

"It's no use calling the police," Ye Luoyi sighed, "She always makes my friend very happy and willingly spends money on her. Before I knew it, I've spent tens of millions on her."

Su Lingling leaned against the hairdressing chair and shuddered when she heard the words, "How terrible! Fortunately, there is no such person around me."

Ye Luoyi glanced at the plant wall beside her and said, "So, it's hard for people of different classes to be friends. Those people are nice to us just because they want to get money from us."

As the two were chatting, Ye Luoyi suddenly exclaimed, "Qingyu, you are here too!"

Zhou Qingyu raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Luoyi through the gap in the plant wall with a cold gaze, "What else? Am I a ghost now?"

【Zhou Qingyu's words are as rude as ever! 】

[Didn't Zhou Qingyu and Ye Luoyi have a consensus that they are not getting along? Do I still need to be polite to her? ]

[Even though Yiyi has such a good attitude, she still thinks Zhou Qingyu is going too far! ]

[No, I think Zhou Qingyu is fine this way, I don’t want to be pushed]

[Cold knowledge, Ye Luoyi and Zhou Qingyu don't have to interact with each other. No one forces them to pretend to be familiar with each other. ]

Ye Luoyi was so angry that she couldn't breathe, but her character was as calm as a chrysanthemum. She couldn't just scold others and get angry like Zhou Qingyu.

After taking two deep breaths, Ye Luoyi calmed down.

At this time, Yan Xi changed into a light blue fishtail dress and came out of the dressing room.

Zhou Qingyu put down her phone and a smile appeared on her cold face.

Yan Xi turned around in front of Zhou Qingyu, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"It's better looking than the last one," Zhou Qingyu commented seriously, "This one makes your waist look slimmer and your skin looks whiter. What do you think?"

Yan Xi was a little conflicted. She also thought this skirt looked better, but the previous one was more comfortable to wear.

Zhou Qingyu raised her eyebrows and called the manager, "Pack both and put them on my bill."

The manager was overjoyed and asked his assistant to keep the accounts.

Ye Luoyi beside him showed a surprised expression. ——In fact, she already knew that Zhou Qingyu was rich and inhumane, but at this moment she had to be surprised, "Qingyu, you are so good to Yan Xi!"

"But..." Ye Luoyi changed the subject and glanced at Yan Xi in front of him with a playful look, "Yan Xi accepted such an expensive gift from you, will she return the favor?"

Zhou Qingyu raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Luoyi, "What does it have to do with you?"

[By the way, Zhou Qingyu gave Yan Xi a lot of gifts during the show, but I really didn’t see how good Yan Xi was to Zhou Qingyu…]

[+1, isn't this kind of friendship unequal? ​​]

[But if I had a rich friend like Zhou Qingyu, I would stick to her like crazy! ]

[Hehe, sticking to her? Suck her blood? ]

Su Lingling added fuel to the fire at the right time, "Zhou Qingyu, don't you understand? With your arrogant and domineering temper, who can stand you? Yan Xi is friends with you, isn't it because you have money? Does she want to make money from you? If you don't have money, do you think she will pay attention to you?"

"Lingling, how can you say that?" Ye Luoyi scolded Su Lingling with a slightly reproachful tone, and then she comforted Zhou Qingyu, "Yan Xi looks quite innocent, she shouldn't be that kind of person, right?"

"Simple?" Su Lingling smiled. "How can a master from Haida University be so simple? She can calculate 21 points so well. She is just calculating one person."

There are some things that Ye Luoyi is not suitable to say.

But with just a little guidance, Su Lingling would help her say these unpleasant words.

Ye Luoyi didn't expect that these few words could destroy the relationship between Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi, but she firmly believed that these few words were enough to plant a thorn in Zhou Qingyu's heart, a thorn of suspicion towards Yan Xi.

Once cracks appear in friendship, it is only a matter of time before it becomes plastic.

When talking about this, Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling did not avoid Yan Xi, and Yan Xi heard everything.

Ye Luoyi wanted to see how Yan Xi would defend herself.

Have some courage and say you're not doing this for the money?

But does she have the ability to give up haute couture and wear clothes worth one or two hundred yuan to attend Fashion Week with Zhou Qingyu?

In that case, with the comparison of all the high-end dresses, Yan Xi would also feel unbalanced and have a lot of resentment towards Zhou Qingyu, right?

A broken mirror cannot be mended, spilled water cannot be healed, and the cracks will only get bigger and bigger.

Yan Xi listened attentively to the conversation between Ye Luoyi and Zhou Qingyu. She was indeed as "stubborn" as Ye Luoyi had predicted and refused to accept Zhou Qingyu's haute couture dress.

Not only was she "strong-willed", her eyes were also filled with tears, "Qingqing, I didn't scheme against you, forget it, I'd better not wear it, so that you won't be misunderstood..."

She walked towards the dressing room, ready to take off her dress and return it to Zhou Qingyu.

When passing by Ye Luoyi, Yan Xi fell beside her with a thud.

Ye Luoyi:?

Falling flat on the ground? What kind of heroine is this?

Yan Xi looked at Ye Luoyi with tears in her eyes, "Teacher Ye, you...why?"

Ye Luoyi:?

Why why?

Ye Luoyi was stunned for a moment, but in a flash, she connected everything again: Yan Xi who fell beside her, and Yan Xi's question...

"It's not me!" Ye Luoyi stood up suddenly.

Yan Xi rubbed her swollen joints, "Ouch, ouch, it hurts..."

Zhou Qingyu's face darkened, and she stepped forward to help Yan Xi up, "Ye Luoyi, what's wrong with you? Come at me if you're upset with me! What's the point of bullying Yan Xi?!"

"I didn't!" Ye Luoyi stamped her feet anxiously. She grabbed Su Lingling's hand and said, "Lingling, you were right next to me just now. You saw it, I didn't trip her!"

Su Lingling was a little confused, "I didn't see it clearly..."

Ye Luoyi was anxious, "There's a live broadcast, we'll know after watching the replay!"

Yan Xi tugged at Zhou Qingyu's sleeve, "Qingqing, it wasn't Teacher Ye who tripped me up. It was all my fault for not paying attention. Don't blame Teacher Ye. You guys are the same kind of people. I overestimated my own abilities. I shouldn't have mixed up with you guys..."

【Has anyone seen Ye Luoyi fall down? 】

[I watched the replay. Yan Xi's skirt was too big to be seen...but it wasn't Ye Luoyi. Did Yan Xi fall flat on her face? ]

[It feels like Ye Luoyi and Su Lingling are targeting Yan Xi today! ]

[Is there no pure friendship if you are from different classes? Feng Yinyin is a top star, and her assistant is her best friend. They have such a good relationship! Ye Luoyi, stop trying to sow discord between them!]

When leaves fall, no one can defend themselves.

She clearly wanted to sow discord between Yan Xi and Zhou Qingyu, so why did the focus shift to her?

Zhou Qingyu helped Yan Xi to the sofa next to her, and glared at Ye Luoyi several times in the process.

Ye Luoyi immediately went to replay the live broadcast, but found that her view was blocked by Yan Xi's skirt and she could not see anything.

The live broadcast screen was full of comments criticizing Ye Luoyi——

[Yan Xi has a good temper. If I were bullied like this, I would kill him! ]

[Ye Luoyi is the daughter of a wealthy family, and thinks Yan Xi is just an ordinary person, easy to bully! ]

[It's so pitiful for Yan Xi. She is criticized for having ulterior motives just because she comes from an ordinary family? Does this mean that only people from the same family status can play together in the future, and neither the poor nor the rich can be friends? ]

[Ye Luoyi is too merciless! Zhou Qingyu didn't say anything, why is she talking so much nonsense! ]

Yan Xi sat on the sofa, rubbing her ankle in grievance.

Ye Luoyi was able to talk tea and say that she approached Zhou Qingyu because of money, so why couldn't she talk tea back?

Treat tea with tea, follow the path of green tea and leave green tea with no way to go!

Ye Luoyi also sensed Yan Xi's thoughts.

From beginning to end, she never said that she tripped her, but she made everyone think so.

Retreat to advance, and make Ye Luoyi the target of public criticism.

What to do? Apologize?

But Ye Luoyi was unwilling to apologize.

If she apologized, it would mean that she had indeed tripped Yan Xi, and she would not be able to explain herself later.

The stylist came out with Ye Luoyi's dress. "Ms. Ye, this is your dress. We modified it after you tried it on in China last time. Now the dress fits your figure better. You can try it on."

——As the spokesperson for E-House, Ye Luoyi can easily borrow E-House’s new dresses of the season.

Ye Luoyi was no longer interested and just wanted to change her clothes and leave Blue as soon as possible.

However, Zhou Qingyu had no intention of letting Ye Luoyi go.

"Ye Luoyi, don't you think I spent too much money on Yan Xi?" Zhou Qingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Ye Luoyi, "I think it's not enough!"

Ye Luoyi looked at Zhou Qingyu suspiciously, with a bad feeling in her heart.

Following Zhou Qingyu's gaze, Ye Luoyi found that her eyes fell on the E-brand high-end dress in the stylist's hands.

Zhou Qingyu pointed at the dress in the stylist's hand and said word by word, "I want this dress."

For these luxury brands, customers who buy haute couture are God, and lending haute couture to celebrities is just to use them as walking billboards to better showcase their products.

Therefore, once haute couture is purchased, it will never be loaned to a celebrity again.

Zhou Qingyu crossed her arms and looked at Ye Luoyi with a playful look, "Ye Luoyi, the dress you bought can no longer be borrowed. I want to see what you will do when you wear the dress later?"

Ye Luoyi's face turned pale. In order to make the dress fit her body better, she tried on the dress a week ago and asked the designer to modify it according to her body shape. If the dress was bought by Zhou Qingyu, where would she get such a well-fitting dress?

Ye Luoyi immediately looked at the designer from E company next to her, her eyes full of desire.

She is the brand spokesperson for E! She can also buy this dress. E will not give up on her just because of a dress, right? Her endorsement fee is much higher than this dress!

The designers of E house also had this consideration. Ye Luoyi is the brand spokesperson, equivalent to the face of E house. Selling the dress lent to her to other customers in front of the live broadcast, leaving her without a dress to wear at Fashion Week, is also a slap in the face of E house.

The designer politely declined Zhou Qingyu's request, "Ms. Zhou, the dress has been lent to Miss Ye. If you need it, we can come to your house tonight and customize a new dress for you..."

"Five times."

Zhou Qingyu said calmly, "I can pay five times the price to buy this dress."

The designer shuddered. This is E's new autumn and winter collection! A dress costs more than 800,000 yuan, five times that is more than 4 million yuan!

As a designer, his value has increased!

No, no, no... The designer shook his head violently. His own spokesperson is more important...

[Oh my god, is Zhou Qingyu serious? ]

[Compared to the previous expenses of the young lady, a few million is just a drop in the bucket...]

[But those luxury bags and sailboats are worth the price! This dress is not worth that much money...]

[I envy Yanxi. The eldest lady really dotes on her! ]

"ten times."

Seeing that the designer did not agree, Zhou Qingyu raised the price.

She sat leisurely on the sofa, quoting prices while discussing with Yan Xi which color of nail polish would look better, as if what she wanted to buy was not a premium high-end dress but just a string of numbers.

"Ten times is not enough, how about twenty times? Are you still not willing to sell it?"

Zhou Qingyu admired the flesh-pink nails and smiled softly, "You should understand that there are so many celebrities in the entertainment industry, one after another, and those who are popular this year may flop next year. But there are not many customers like me in the world."

A top-class wealthy customer and a popular female star, who is more important, it is already very obvious at this moment. Zhou Qingyu is willing to spend 16 million to buy a high-end custom-made item worth more than 800,000 yuan. If she doesn't wake up, then the designer of E family is brainless.

In that instant, the designer makes a decision.

Their purpose is to please customers.

Ye Luoyi's face turned red, then pale, and then blue. Her voice became weaker, and her tone was full of grievance, "But...but this dress was reserved for me by you guys a long time ago!"

The designer was helpless, "Ms. Ye, you also said that it was a loan. The reason I lent you the dress was so that other customers could buy it."

Ye Luoyi gritted her teeth. If it was just an ordinary high-end dress, she would have paid for it. Even if she made a loss, she would have lost money. She had the money, but Zhou Qingyu had raised the price of the dress to an outrageous level!

Zhou Qingyu sat on the sofa, holding

Ba, Rao looked at Ye Luoyi with interest, "Ye Luoyi, it's okay if I let you go."

Ye Luoyi raised her head instantly and looked at Zhou Qingyu with eyes full of gratitude.

But Zhou Qingyu's next words made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave.

"But you have to apologize to Yan Xi and say 'I was wrong' in front of all the viewers of the live broadcast."

——

The words “I was wrong” have a huge impact on celebrities.

Moreover, it was in front of the live camera.

But Ye Luoyi didn't think she was wrong. She didn't trip Yan Xi at all. Zhou Qingyu was obviously making things difficult for her!

On the side, Yan Xi blinked.

She didn't expect Zhou Qingyu to do this, and even she was shocked. After all, it was too much to spend twenty times the price to buy a high-end dress. It seemed that she still didn't understand Zhou Qingyu's financial resources.

The system jumped up and down beside Yan Xi, even more excited than Ye Luoyi: [See! See! This is the vicious female supporting role! ]

[Your filter is eight hundred meters thick, so you think the young lady is a good person! ]

[If you put yourself in Ye Luoyi's perspective, you will feel that the eldest lady is making things difficult for her! ]

It makes sense that Zhou Qingyu is considered a vicious female supporting character in the novel world, and her current behavior is indeed that of a vicious female supporting character.

However...

"So handsome!" Yan Xi's eyes sparkled.

System:?

【Can you say it again? 】

"Don't you think Qingyu's behavior just now was too cool?" Yan Xi's eyes had changed from shock to expectation when she looked at Zhou Qingyu, and her eyes were extremely gentle.

System: [……]

【There is no hope for you! 】

[Your filter is more than 800 meters thick! It is simply a combination of Photoshop and Meitu Xiuxiu! Now it is already 10,000 meters thick! ]

In fact, not only Ye Luoyi, but also Ye fans in the live broadcast room were very angry about Zhou Qingyu's behavior——

[This is so insulting! Is it great that Zhou Qingyu is rich? ]

[Can the E family have some backbone? ]

[We are recording a variety show together, how could Zhou Qingyu do this! ]

However, the audience who supported Zhou Qingyu felt that——

[If I had a best friend like Missy, I would cry my heart out! ]

[The eldest lady is so nice to Yan Xi! I’m jealous! ]

[Can Ye fans understand one thing? The first to tease is the loser. Ye Luoyi should just focus on her styling and not make trouble. The eldest lady won't make things difficult for her! ]
