Wu Xiaoshuang took Chen Minhao, who was fully armed, to look at three suites.
Chen Minhao felt that Wu Xiaoshuang really put a lot of effort into finding these three houses. The three houses are all in new communities with convenient transportation, few residents, and the management is responsible.
Chen Minhao was most satisfied with the last set. The furniture is fully furnished and there are many green plants. You can move in directly with your bags.
This house is about more than 80 square meters and is located in Shanghai Hongqiao Business District. Chen Minhao considered that there would be more announcements in the future. If he lived closer to Hongqiao Airport, it would be more convenient to go home.
The bedroom of the room faces south, with plenty of sunlight shining in, but not too dazzling. Chen Minhao likes it very much.
"How much is the monthly rent for this house? If it's suitable, just book this one." Chen Minhao said.
"As for the money, you don't have to worry. Sister Kang said that the company will pay for it for you. As for the contract, the company's legal department will sign it with me." Wu Xiaoshuang said with a smile.
"Sign with you?" Chen Minhao asked doubtfully.
Wu Xiaoshuang nodded and said, "This house belongs to me. But it was too boring for me to live alone, so I moved over to live with Yanyan."
"Yanyan?"
"Su Yan is the reporter from Beidu Entertainment Weekly who interviewed you last time. She is my best friend."
In fact, after hearing this, Chen Minhao thought to himself, if he had known what was behind this house, no matter how good it was, he would never rent it.
Not to mention the embarrassment of renting a colleague's house, the most important thing is that Chen Minhao has an inexplicable fear of friendship between girls, especially the term best friend.
He remembered a joke on the Internet. A boy's best brother in his 20s will become the godfather of his son when he is 30 years old, and the godfather of his grandson when he is 80 years old.
The 20-year-old girl's best friend had a fight and the whole play ended.
"How long has it been since you moved there?" Chen Minhao asked.
"I just moved here last week."
The alarm in Chen Minhao's heart sounded.
A week's time shows that the two girls are still in the running-in period. Chen Minhao has been in contact with both girls, and neither of them is willing to compromise. Chen Minhao was particularly worried that after some minor friction between the two, Wu Xiaoshuang would move out, and he could not let the landlord rent a house, so he should live in her house. I'll probably have to move by then.
He said that he was the one who wanted to rent. He couldn't know that the house in front of him belonged to Wu Xiaoshuang, so he wouldn't rent it. Chen Minhao bit the bullet, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's decide on this, but don't be in a hurry. Let's move slowly when we have time."
Chen Minhao made up his mind to postpone it for at least a month, at least until Wu Xiaoshuang and Su Yan's running-in period was over.
Wu Xiaoshuang nodded and said: "It's not around 6 o'clock now. We can move here a little bit first, and then move slowly bit by bit. Anyway, your situation is not suitable for hiring a moving company."
For a moment, Chen Minhao couldn't find a reason to refuse. He had an idea and said: "You helped me again today. Before I went to "Artist Producer", I said I wanted to treat you to dinner. Today I finally have the chance. .I happen to want to eat hot pot, let’s go out to eat hot pot together.”
"Are you sure?" Wu Xiaoshuang pointed to Chen Minhao's mask and sunglasses.
Chen Minhao immediately realized that if he went out to eat hot pot with Wu Xiaoshuang and was accidentally photographed, he would not be able to clean up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
As an artist, especially one who wants to be popular, he must have such a consciousness and not let the paparazzi seize any opportunity to cause trouble.
Chen Minhao suddenly felt that it would be better if Wu Xiaoshuang was a man. There would be less taboos about going out to eat hot pot, and there would be no need to worry so much about renting a house.
Wu Xiaoshuang thought for a while and said: "After you told me, I really want to eat hot pot. How about we eat it at home. Anyway, there is an induction cooker at home and there is a supermarket nearby. It is very convenient for me to buy ingredients."
Chen Minhao felt a little chauvinistic in his heart and said, "I'll buy the ingredients."
Wu Xiaoshuang smiled slightly and said: "Taking a taxi around here is difficult. Can you drive? Do you know any supermarkets nearby? Or do you want to be secretly photographed in the supermarket?"
After three consecutive strikes, Chen Minhao was defeated.
Wu Xiaoshuang went out to buy ingredients. The pots and bowls at home had not been used for a long time, so Chen Minhao started to wash the dishes and pots.
Chen Minhao suddenly remembered the group in "The Producer" who had agreed to eat hot pot. Except for everyone's excitement on the first day, the whole group was silent.
Chen Minhao sighed and continued washing the dishes.
Not long after, Wu Xiaoshuang came back carrying large and small bags. Chen Minhao quickly stepped forward to help carry it, it was quite heavy.
One of them washed the vegetables, the other chopped them, and they were ready to eat in a short while.
Wu Xiaoshuang didn't buy wine. She bought two bottles of iced Feizhai Happy Water.
After Chen Minhao took a sip of Feizhai Happy Water, he felt refreshed, so he put the Feizhai Happy Water aside and poured himself a glass of water.
Wu Xiaoshuang noticed the situation here and said: "Male celebrities control their figures like this, how miserable are female celebrities?"
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "So, you should be lucky that your family is opposed to you becoming a star."
Wu Xiaoshuang drank three big mouthfuls of Fat House Happy Water, smiled and said to Chen Minhao: "I have never thought about being a star. My intention in entering the entertainment industry is not to be a star. But despite this, my family is still against it. So, I agree I envy you, I think your parents are very nice people."
Chen Minhao didn't want to dwell on the topic of his parents. He knew that this was Wu Xiaoshuang's pain point. He tried to change the topic and asked: "Your appearance is no worse than that of popular female stars. Why haven't you considered becoming a star? And your family There are many people in the entertainment industry, so your starting point should be relatively high."
Wu Xiaoshuang sat upright and couldn't hide her joy as she asked: "Sister An Qi is a popular female star, right? Am I really more beautiful than Sister An Qi?"
Women's focus is always so strange.
The conversation was about career planning, and it had to involve appearance. Obviously it refers to popular female celebrities in general, but it must be understood as specifically referring to Wan Anqi, and the meaning of that sentence is that Wu Xiaoshuang's appearance is equal to or greater than that of popular female celebrities. But why did Wu Xiaoshuang directly understand that her appearance was greater than Wan Anqi's appearance
Of course, Chen Minhao would not express his complaints. He smiled and said, "Of course you are good-looking."
The smile between Wu Xiaoshuang's eyebrows almost overflowed. She was a little inexplicably shy, but she smiled reservedly and said, "I think Sister An Qi is prettier than me."
Hey, woman.
Wu Xiaoshuang continued: "When you first debuted, you had to worry about going out to eat for a long time. It was very unfree. The more popular you become in the future, the less free you will be. I have relatives in my family who are celebrities. I have seen this kind of thing a lot since I was a child. Yeah, I feel like this kind of life is not what I want.”
Chen Minhao suddenly felt a little envious. When he learned that Wu Xiaoshuang was a rich woman, Chen Minhao didn't feel anything at all. But Chen Minhao yearns for this kind of right to refuse a life he doesn't want.
Freedom is not about doing what you want to do, but not doing what you don't want to do.
"Very good." Chen Minhao held it in for a long time and only came out with this sentence.
Wu Xiaoshuang took a big piece of meat from chopsticks and said: "You only live once, why not try something interesting? I will help you run your fan base now. It will be interesting to see you grow from zero to a superstar."
"Then I'll lend you some good advice." Chen Minhao clinked glasses of water with Wu Xiaoshuang.
Wu Xiaoshuang smiled and said: "You have the potential to become famous. This is the first year of idols. A large number of local idols are being mass-produced through many online TV shows. But when artists are just starting out, what fans are waiting for is not a press conference or a debut single. It’s a new round of fancy money-making methods consisting of various endorsements and commercial performances.”
Wu Xiaoshuang put down her chopsticks and added: "Shen Meng has done a very honest job here and has not chosen to overdraw your popularity. My python crawler has compiled some data on the trainees who debuted through variety shows this year. Some rational fans are tired of being so high. The frequency of purely commercial announcements is already disappointing that idols are not able to display their abilities, and that idols’ music works have not been available for a long time.”
"So, although some fans say that you have little exposure and the company does not pay attention to it, as long as you have good output, there will definitely be a place for you in the entertainment industry. For fans, they are fans of idols. For investors, it is important to see It’s the return on investment that celebrities can bring.”
Chen Minhao nodded. He originally just wanted to eat hot pot, but he didn't expect Wu Xiaoshuang to say these words. He didn't know whether these were Wu Xiaoshuang's own thoughts, or whether he was just picking up others' wisdom.
Of course Chen Minhao would not ask this question.
After all, he was a man and a woman alone. After dinner, Chen Minhao made an excuse to rehearse tomorrow, took a taxi and went home fully equipped.
