The rain hit the ground, making a rushing sound, Gong Xiqiao turned around and walked downstairs quickly. When they got downstairs, there were already many people standing in the small waiting room of the hotel.
Xi Qing walked into the hall, and everyone present automatically made a path for Xi Qing to pass.
"Boss," Producer Zhou put a towel in each of the hands of several bodyguards who were carrying things, "Are you here to visit the class?" He glanced at the things that had been removed from the car, which were all fruits, vegetables and smoked vegetables. Good vacuum also uses ice cubes to keep fresh meat, everything is complete enough to cook hot pot.
However, why the boss wanted to visit the class, and why no one told him.
"I heard that filming was very hard for you, so I happened to drop by, so I came over to have a look." Xi Qing wiped her hands with a towel, glanced around the house, and finally met Gong Xiqiao's smiling eyes. "Is there any vacant room here? I'll stay here for two days."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away." Producer Zhou counted the people Xi Qing brought over. Including Jia Xiqing, there are nine people in total, and at least five rooms have to be cleaned up. I don't know if so many rooms can be vacated come out.
"Don't be so troublesome, I'll just squeeze with Xiao Qiao," Xi Qing said after chatting with the main creative staff of the crew, and walked to Gong Xiqiao's side, looked carefully, and said, "It seems to be dark and thin."
"It's normal to get sunburned every day," Gong Xiqiao smiled at the rest of the crew, and said, "I'll take you back to your room first."
The humble hotel building was incompatible with Xi Qing's full body temperament, but Gong Xiqiao couldn't see the slightest dissatisfaction from him, and even after seeing the water on the balcony due to the heavy rain, there was no reaction.
Miyue and others who were watching the lively on the balcony had already returned to the room, so there were only the two of them on the balcony.
"The accommodation here is not very good, but the room is fairly clean," Gong Xiqiao pushed open his door and turned to Xi Qing who was following behind him, "It's been raining so hard these two days, you How did you come here?"
"It's on the way." Xi Qing walked to the edge of the bed and sat down. The bed was not soft enough, and the white shell of the air conditioner on the wall was a little yellowed because it had been used for too long.
Can you come here by the way
Gong Xiqiao poured water from his usual water cup and put it where Xi Qing could reach it, "The road conditions here are not very good. I see a lot of mud on the cars outside."
"Fortunately," it was a little hot in the room, and Xi Qing unbuttoned two shirts, "You told me on the phone the day before yesterday that you wanted to eat hot pot, and I just brought some ingredients and hot pot ingredients today, and I'll let you know later. Let's cook hot pot."
Gong Xiqiao's heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile, "That's great, our whole crew is already getting too greedy. You brought some here from this visit. You are our parents."
Xi Qing twitched the corners of her mouth and listened to Gong Xiqiao talking about the interesting things that happened during the filming in the past 20 days. It was not until Gong Xiqiao said almost the same that she suddenly said, "How's the injury on your hand?"
"It's done." Gong Xiqiao didn't expect Xi Qing to suddenly mention this, it was all a week ago, and he didn't take it to heart.
"Can you show me?" Xi Qing frowned slightly, staring at Gong Xiqiao's right hand.
"It's really okay," Gong Xiqiao stretched out his hand in front of Xi Qing, "Look at it."
Holding this hand gently, Xi Qing looked at the scar that was no longer obvious, and couldn't help but ask, "Did it hurt at that time?"
"My lord, it's fine for such a minor injury," Gong Xiqiao let Xi Qing hold his hand and opened his eyes slightly, "You wouldn't talk about the hand just because I mentioned on the phone the day before yesterday that I wanted to eat hot pot. You only came here after suffering a little injury a week ago, right?"
"No," Xi Qing put down Gong Xiqiao's hand and said calmly, "The company is going to do a development project in a neighboring county, I'm just stopping by."
Although he was self-motivated, Gong Xiqiao didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and stopped talking about this topic and chatted with Xi Qing about other things.
In the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Director Jiao and Producer Zhou were sitting on chairs, watching the bodyguards brought by Xi Qing begin to unpack the boxes of ingredients, and then occupy the hotel's kitchen in a cool gesture, and soon there was a ding sound inside. Ding dong dong chopping vegetables.
"Producer Zhou, the bodyguard of the president of your company is still good at cooking?" Jiao Dao's expression was a little dull. This was the first time he had met a big man of this level to visit the class, and he had such a personality.
"I don't know either," Producer Zhou coughed dryly, and then said, "Maybe the bodyguards brought by the big boss this time happen to know cooking skills."
Jiao Dao nodded knowingly. The owner of such a big family must have a professional bodyguard team by his side. A bodyguard who can be seen by the family owners, but he has no special skills, so how can he be so embarrassed to hang around? Just thinking that Xi Qing actually came to visit the class in person, even he was a little flattered, it was incredible.
But he also knew it. If it wasn't because Gong Xiqiao was on the set, Xi Qing would definitely not have suffered such a heavy rain in such a place where birds don't shit. He looked at Producer Zhou with some doubts, "It is said outside that Mr. Xi is inhumane, but I think he is very thoughtful."
If you know what the crew lacks, you can bring whatever you want. Even the bodyguards who come here are all good at cooking. How could such a careful family owner be called inhumane
"Then you haven't seen his vigorous and resolute state at work. If you play with your heart in front of him, no one will succeed." Producer Zhou has a good relationship with Director Jiao, so he is willing to say a few more words to him. " The big boss was only twenty-four when he took over the company. Both his parents died when he was a teenager. After a few years, his grandfather who was protecting him also passed away. Let the Xi family develop better and better, this kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have." Speaking of this, Jiao Dao said in a low voice, "I heard that in the two years he took over the Xi family, many people in the Xi family wanted to His life, if it weren't for his means, I'm afraid he would have gone to reunite with his parents by now."
Hearing this, Director Jiao sighed. Speaking of which, the life of the Xi Patriarch was not very good. He had no family members who truly loved him. Now he has become the master of everyone that everyone admires, but how many people really care about him
No wonder he rarely hears any fancy news about him. I am afraid that a person like this will not easily trust those who approach him, because even he himself does not know what the purpose of those who approach him is to want his money. Still life.
Thinking of this, Director Jiao said with emotion, "It's not easy for Gong Xiqiao to become friends with him."
Producer Zhou nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know how these two people with completely different personalities came together, he was sure that the big boss valued Gong Xiqiao very much.
In the room, Xi Qing was already asleep, Gong Xiqiao looked at Wu Qing near his eyes and sighed softly. After adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner and covering the person on the bed with the quilt, he sat down by the window with the script in hand, listening to the sound of rain outside, feeling a little complicated.
Spreading out his right palm, looking at the scar on it, he laughed a little.
Although it is not clear whether Xi Qing really came to visit the class this time, but he can be sure that the other party should not have a good rest for a few days before rushing over, otherwise he would not be sleeping so deeply now.
Turning a page of the script, the first sentence at the beginning is the dialogue between Yunheng Xianzun and his senior brother.
"Everything in the world begins with fate, grows with one's heart, and determines the outcome with fate. All sufferings are just self-seeking troubles, and it is impossible to see through the origin and the extinction of karma."
Hearing these words, Gong Xiqiao stroked his chin with his index finger and laughed softly.
The rain has not stopped. In this atmosphere, Gong Xiqiao was more able to calm down and read the script until the knock on the door rang.
He glanced at Xi Qing who was sleeping on the bed, got up and opened the door. The one who knocked on the door was a bodyguard with a suitcase in his hand.
"Hello, Master Qiao, this is the boss's suitcase." The bodyguard noticed that Xi Qing was sleeping on the bed, so he kept his voice low, put the suitcase in the corner and left.
Gong Xiqiao looked at the box and smiled, and continued to sit back and read the script.
When Xi Qing opened his eyes, he saw the young man sitting by the window looking down at the script. Although the other party was only wearing ordinary T-shirts and jeans, in his opinion, the picture was still incredibly beautiful.
"Are you awake?" The young man sitting by the window suddenly turned his head and showed him a gentle smile. This smile seemed to break into his heart, making his heart start to heat up.
"Well." Xi Qing sat up, looked at the wrinkled shirt on his body, and frowned.
"You change your clothes first, and then we go down to eat." Gong Xiqiao said expectantly, "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time, and I miss it."
Xi Qing opened the suitcase, first took out a large bag of snacks and put it on the bed, and then took out a set of clothes.
The bathroom provided for each room in the hotel is very small, with a space of more than one square meter. Xi Qing changed his clothes and was a little timid.
"Are these snacks brought for me on a special trip?" Gong Xiqiao's voice came from outside the bathroom.
Xi Qing's hand holding the shirt paused slightly, and said a little uncomfortable: "Before I came, I heard from my uncle that you like to eat these, so I brought it here for you."
"Master, thank you so much."
The soundproofing of the bathroom door was very poor, so he could clearly hear the cracking of the snack bag. After quickly changing his clothes, he looked up at himself in the mirror, only to find that his eyes were full of smiles that could not be concealed.
Seeing Xi Qing coming out, Gong Xiqiao put down the snack bag in his hand, swallowed the beef jerky in his mouth and said, "Come on, let's go down and see if the hot pot is ready."
When Chen Yi and Dai Ni came out of the room, they met Gong Xiqiao and Xi Qing who had just left. Seeing Xi Qing coming out of Gong Xiqiao's room, Chen Yi and Dai Ni were both stunned.
"Sister Dai, Brother Chen," Gong Xiqiao greeted with a smile upon seeing the two of them, "What a coincidence?"
"I heard that President Xi brought a lot of delicious food this time, how can we sit still," Dai Ni smiled politely at Xi Qing, "Here, let's say thank you to President Xi first."
"You're welcome," Xi Qing nodded and glanced at Gong Xiqiao, "Thank you for taking care of Xiao Qiao usually."
"Where, where," Dai Ni smiled and walked downstairs with Chen Yi two steps behind Xi Qing.
Even a blind man can see that Xi Qing came here specially for Gong Xiqiao this time. Looking at the two men walking side by side in front of her, her mood was very complicated and she was accustomed to intrigue. She really didn't expect that someone would run so far just to bring something to a friend. What's more, Xi Qing, a big man whose time is measured in seconds, climbs mountains and wades to a place where birds don't poop, can't be just to enjoy the scenery.
A table was set up in the hall downstairs, the electric frying pan was placed in the center of the table, and the ingredients were neatly placed on the plate.
Gong Xiqiao pulled Xi Qing to sit down, and Chen Yi and Dai Ni were fortunate to be at the same table with Xi Qing because of Gong Xiqiao's face.
Soon everyone in the crew had arrived. Who would dare to ask Mr. Xi to wait, so after Gong Xiqiao was seated, within ten minutes, everyone was seated around the table.
Lin Yu, Director Jiao, and Producer Zhou were at the same table with Gong Xiqiao, and Xi Qing was present. These characters who were usually held in the hands of everyone in the crew were also very polite. On the other hand, Gong Xiqiao threw off his arms by himself, sweating profusely, and there was Xi Qing next to him, so he should not eat too comfortably.
From the very beginning, after everyone toasted Xi Qing with a glass of wine, with Xi Qing's serious face, no one dared to drink his wine. Director Jiao and screenwriter Lin Yu were okay, they were barely able to let go of their hands and feet to eat, but the others seemed more restrained.
After the fresh and tender beef rolls are boiled and cooked, they are rinsed in the oil dish, and the taste in the mouth is simply very delicious.
Although Dai Ni, Chen Yi, Ma Qian, and Ji Yuming ate a little unpalatable for this meal, they were willing to share the table with Xi Qing, even if they didn't move their chopsticks.
"The kelp pieces are cooked," Gong Xiqiao picked up a few pieces with a slotted spoon, then picked them up with male chopsticks and put them in Xi Qing's bowl, "I remember you like this."
When he went out to dinner with Xi Qing, there was an old duck kelp soup, he noticed that Xi Qing was always going to put the kelp in it, and guessed that he should like this.
The taste of this kelp is not as fresh and tender as Baiweixuan's thousands of choices, but Xi Qing eats it very seriously. I couldn't help thinking that even though this person might not like him all his life, at least he had noticed what he liked and cared about himself, and he didn't have so many regrets.
"Do you want to try this?" Gong Xiqiao picked up a piece of yam from the white soup, "I think it's not bad."
Seeing that Xi Qing did not refuse, Gong Xiqiao put the yam in his bowl: "Sometimes you don't eat on time, so you have to eat something to nourish your stomach."
"Okay." Xi Qing smiled.
Producer Zhou looked in horror at the smile on Xi Qing's face and Gong Xiqiao's eyes, as if he was watching a miracle.
Dani next to her looked at Gong Xiqiao and Xi Qing thoughtfully, and shook her head with a smile after a while.
"What are you thinking?" Chen Yi put a chicken wing into her bowl.
"It's alright," Dani said in his ear, "I'm thinking nonsense, I feel like my brain is a little weird."
"Wonderful?" Chen Yi looked at her puzzled.
Even she herself thought this idea was strange, so she was embarrassed to say it, and when she saw Chen Yi asked, she just shook her head.
How could these two people be...
