With Xi Qing as a great person, Director Jiao was going to raise the level of dining for guests by several levels, but unfortunately it was getting late and many restaurants had closed, so they had to find a hot pot restaurant that was open 24 hours a day. down.
On occasions with a lot of people, it is still appropriate to eat hot pot, but Jiao Dao still thinks that this restaurant is not high-end and high-end, and he is worried that Mr. Xi will think that he is stingy and stingy. As a big name in the director world, he can't let the family boss have such an impression of him.
Just when Director Jiao was embarrassed, Gong Xiqiao said, "It tastes delicious. Today, Director Jiao treats guests. We must only order expensive ones, not the right ones."
"That's a must," Dani is a smart woman who knows when to speak, so she immediately continued, "Come on, everyone, sit down quickly, lest Dao Jiao regret later and don't want to give money. "
"Do you usually invite me to treat you less often?" Director Jiao said with a smile, "Let's all sit down, and I'm really going to regret it." After speaking, Chao Xiqing smiled, "President Xi, it's late at night. , many restaurants have closed, these people in the crew usually like to make trouble, don't dislike it."
"Director Jiao, you're welcome," Xi Qing, Jiao Dao nodded slightly, "There are so many people, it's fun to eat hot pot."
After Xi Qing was seated, everyone sat down around the table. Xi Qing sat upright, Gong Xiqiao and Jiao Dao were on his left and right, the others took their seats in order, and the rest of the staff sat down at another table.
After ordering, because everyone still has work tomorrow, they didn't ask for wine, but ordered drinks.
Director Jiao raised his glass and said, "It is an honor for all of us to have dinner at the same table with President Xi today. We use drinks instead of wine here to thank you on behalf of the entire crew for your support for the work of the crew."
Seeing this, the others also got up and raised their cups. After joining this crew, I have eaten with Mr. Xi more than once. It's really a face-saving thing to say.
Xi Qing glanced at Gong Xiqiao, who had stood up beside him, and then stood up and said, "Director Jiao is too polite. Everyone has put in a lot of effort for the filming of the movie. Here I should be the one to thank everyone first." When you're done, pick up the cup and gulp down the drink inside.
Seeing that Mr. Xi's attitude was so gentle, everyone felt a little emotional. Who said that Mr. Xi was indifferent and ruthless? In fact, people are less talkative and less expressive, and they are still good people. Rumors really kill people.
Soon the soup pot came up, and the dishes began to be served. All kinds of ingredients were poured into the pot, which soon exuded an attractive aroma.
Now that everyone is busy, everyone is hungry. If it wasn't for Xi Qing's presence, I'm afraid that everyone would have chopped up their chopsticks and scrambled for their favorite dishes.
Gong Xiqiao picked up a chopstick and rinsed his hairy belly in the oil dish. It was so hot that he took a few breaths. After swallowing it, he whispered to Xi Qing, "The taste is not bad, but your stomach is not very good, eat less red meat. Vegetables in a frying pan."
Since Xi Qing caught a cold last time and had a stomachache, Gong Xiqiao has been stamped with a bad stomach. No matter how Xi Qing refuted it, it was invalid, so he simply acquiesced. After listening to Gong Xiqiao's words, he turned the chopsticks that he was about to reach into the red oil pan, picked a shrimp ball from the white soup pot and put it in a bowl.
"Last time you came to visit the class, the hot pot cooked by your bodyguard seemed to be a little better than this one," Gong Xiqiao saw that Xi Qing was obedient, and took two mushroom flowers from the red oil pot and put them in Xi Qing's bowl , in a rewarding tone, "You can also eat a little less."
Xi Qing slightly curled the corners of her lips: "That's because you haven't eaten it for too long, so you find it particularly delicious."
"Maybe it is," Gong Xiqiao nodded, "but who told you to visit the class at the right time, let me eat such a hot pot, and now other hot pots taste good, they are just average."
People's fate is so strange, no matter how good or bad, it can't match the word "just right".
Xi Qing's eyes lit up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth finally revealed: "As long as you like it."
While eating hot pot, the two of them lowered their heads and whispered. The others at the same table were in awe of Xi Qing's identity, and they were also considered the biggest names in the circle, so they were embarrassed to come up to please, so they had to pretend to bow their heads to eat. But attention was involuntarily placed on Xi Qing.
Hey? President Xi made balls for Gong Xiqiao.
Oh, when Gong Xiqiao was serving dishes to President Xi just now, he forgot to change the chopsticks.
Oops, that shrimp is so big, but unfortunately it was picked up by Mr. Xi. Hey, that shrimp was peeled and given to Gong Xiqiao
Okay, okay, I know that you two are good brothers, do you want to cooperate so well, that delicious dishes are always so fast and accurate
Seeing the way Gong Xiqiao and Xi Qing get along, Dai Ni felt inexplicably being compared. This is not right, obviously Gong Xiqiao is a single dog, why does she somehow have the illusion that she is being shown by affection.
"What are you looking at?" Chen Yi put a piece of fresh mushroom in her bowl.
Dani shook her head and said mysteriously, "It's nothing." She felt as if she knew something she shouldn't know.
Just when she was thinking so, Xi Qing, who was talking to Gong Xiqiao, suddenly raised her head and glanced at her. It was a very peaceful look with almost no emotion, but Dani's heart trembled inexplicably, and she hurriedly looked away, not daring to look again.
After a hot pot meal, it was already early morning, Gong Xiqiao sat in Xi Qing's car very calmly in front of everyone's eyes and walked away.
So once again aroused the envy of countless people.
That is Mr. Xi, who has made countless people in awe, it is such an honor to be an iron buddy with such a character. This is something that many young masters from aristocratic families cannot do.
"Okay, let's go back, don't be late tomorrow morning." Director Jiao waved his hands in a good mood and asked everyone to go back to their respective homes.
Thinking of filming tomorrow, everyone was a little discouraged, and Zhao Yikun gritted his teeth even more. No wonder Gong Xiqiao offered to have a late night snack, because this cunning guy won't have a show tomorrow morning.
Since being ruthlessly cleaned up by Gong Xiqiao several times, in Zhao Yikun's mind, Gong Xiqiao is the representative of the white-faced and the black-hearted, and what he does has no purpose.
If his agent knew what he was thinking now, he would probably say that Sao Nian, brain supplementation is a disease, and it is bad.
In the past two days, Gong Xiqiao, who has no one to cook at home, was kept at his home by Xi Qing, and he used the opportunity to deepen the understanding between the two.
Gong Xiqiao didn't refuse either, so after eating the hot pot, the two went straight back to the Xi's villa all the way.
Back in the room, he took off the clothes that smelled of hot pot. After Gong Xiqiao took a bath, he found that there was a bruise where he was hanged by Weiya, and it hurt a little when he pressed it lightly.
He was sitting on the bed, wiping his hair with a towel, and suddenly felt a little cold on his shoulders. When he turned his head, he realized that the floor-to-ceiling windows were not closed, and the night wind was rushing in from the window.
He straightened up his nightgown, got up and walked through the floor-to-ceiling windows. He stood on the balcony, looking at the scenery of Xi's Manor in the dark, and couldn't help but think, what is the fun of Xi Qing living in such a large manor alone
No wonder the whole villa feels a little cold and lacks popularity.
The estate looks beautiful, quiet and peaceful. But Gong Xiqiao noticed that this place was under strict surveillance from the inside out, and even those bodyguards were not ordinary people. The family has been passed down for many years, and it naturally collects precious heirlooms. The owner is even more valuable, so it is no wonder that he is so careful.
Like their Gongxi's house, at most it is a single-family villa in a high-end community. The security conditions are also very good. If you talk about it, it will make many people envious and jealous. But compared with the real family, this level is really about to be thrown out of the 18th street, and it is not at the level of a line at all.
While thinking about the glory and difficulty of the noble family, he suddenly heard movement around him, and turned to find Xi Qing appearing on the balcony of the next room.
"You haven't slept yet?" Gong Xiqiao was lying on the balcony, and he didn't look lazy. He yawned and said, "This manor was handed down by your ancestors?"
Xi Qing nodded and looked at the manor with a calm expression: "It has been passed down for several generations, but the house inside has been rebuilt."
Seeing that he didn't seem to have much affection for this manor in his tone, Gong Xiqiao didn't ask about the past of the Xi family. Although times have changed, and many aristocratic families have gradually declined due to wars, their inheritance is unmatched by ordinary families.
It is said that in order to verify the ancient history, the country has also borrowed materials handed down by ancestors from various aristocratic families, which shows how profound the heritage of these aristocratic families is.
In his last life, he was born from grass roots and had never seen rare items. However, because of his later power, he has obtained many precious ancient books and antique calligraphy and paintings in the hands of descendants of some declining families. It's a pity that even the most precious things are not brought by life or death. He had no marriage and no children in his last life, and he didn't know whether these things belonged to the court or used to be buried with him after his death.
Also because of this regret, let him understand a truth in this life, don't be pretentious and don't waste time when you have a good day, you must live happily and happily, life is short, who knows when he will close his eyes.
"Very good," Gong Xiqiao smiled at Xi Qing, "The Xi family is indeed a noble family."
"In this day and age, what about noble families and ordinary people?" Xi Qing lowered her head and looked at the empty manor, "There is no need for such things as noble families now."
What Xi Qing said actually makes sense. Compared with the ancient feudal dynasties, today's aristocratic families in a society ruled by law only have more background than others. But in terms of social influence, it is far less than the period of the feudal dynasty.
Nowadays, many of the so-called noble families in the imperial capital are just holding their faces, and many people are not as good as the nouveau riche families like the Gongxi family, not to mention that many unworthy descendants sell their collections of calligraphy and paintings, just to live and not be productive. Comfortable life.
How many aristocratic families like the Xi family have successfully maintained their dignity and status
"Having said that, but at least the descendants will be able to clearly understand the rise and fall of the family," Gong Xiqiao said with a smile. "There are certain things that aristocratic families have that ordinary people may not have."
Xi Qing sighed noncommittally and noticed that Gong Xiqiao was only wearing a nightgown, so she persuaded, "It's cold at night, so be careful not to catch a cold."
Gongxi Qiao pulled the bathrobe on her body, "Then I'll go in and sleep, good night."
"Good night." Xi Qing glanced at the corner of Gong Xiqiao's lips, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.
Gong Xiqiao smiled silently, turned and returned to the room. Xi Qing looked at the empty balcony and felt a little lost.
The next morning, Gong Xiqiao was woken up by a call from Chen Ke. He put the phone to his ear and rolled on the bed with the quilt.
"Hey, Brother Chen." He yawned, trying to wake himself up. With Chen Ke's personality, if he's okay, he won't call to disturb his rest.
Chen Ke on the other end of the phone heard Gong Xiqiao's voice a little confused and knew that he was still sleeping, so he said directly, "Xiao Qiao, are you not at home now?"
Hearing that Chen Ke's tone was not quite right, Gong Xiqiao sat up and said, "What's wrong?"
"Someone broke the news that you were the male protagonist in the drama "Cultivation of Truth", and you got the role only because of your relationship with Xi Qing," Chen Ke's tone was not very good, it was not a big deal at first, However, there are people who provoke Ji Yuming's fans, implying that Gong Xiqiao is overpowering others and asking Ji Yuming, a veteran actor, to give him a rookie role. Originally this role belonged to Ji Yuming, because Xi Qing was the backstage of Gong Xiqiao, so Ji Yuming had to give up the protagonist and played the male supporting role.
Who is Ji Yuming? He is a famous actor with both acting skills and temperament in the circle. His fan base is fixed and his image is very good. Even ordinary fans have a very good impression of him. The role, but also let Ji Yuming's image as a particularly good actor, can Ji Yuming's fans sit still
After listening to the cause and effect, Gong Xiqiao frowned. The news seemed to say that he was bullying others, but it meant more that without the big boss Xi Qing, Gong Xiqiao couldn't get along in the entertainment industry at all. He has today The status is completely held by Xi Qing.
This logic is a little intoxicating, but some netizens who listen to the wind is the rain believe it, so they are busy sympathizing with Ji Yuming, while spurning Gong Xiqiao.
According to the current situation, if he doesn't break off friendship with Xi Qing, he will be holding his thighs, unspoken rules, and no real ability.
After the news came out, Chen Ke was also a little strange. There was obviously someone behind this matter, but who was so bold to take Xi Qing as a topic? Now Gong Xiqiao's public relations team has been fully launched, and the public opinion has been temporarily controlled to a balance point, but the other party obviously does not want to let Gong Xiqiao go, and has been talking about Xi Qing's friendship with him. The grades were spot on.
There is also a group of sailors who don't know where they came from. They came out and said that Gong Xiqiao's acting skills are actually like that. They can only deceive the brainless fans. such as.
"Don't worry," Gong Xiqiao had already guessed what happened this time, not for him, but for Xi Qing. But there are not many people in the entire imperial capital who can guess that Xi Qing has thoughts about him and is not afraid of Xi Qing's tricks. "Our public relations team should not be busy for the time being." If you really dare to oppose Xi Qing People, his work team, are simply not enough to see.
Chen Ke heard from Gong Xiqiao's words that this matter was not easy, and thinking about Xi Qing's identity again, he just had to hold back his breath: "Xiao Qiao, if this matter is not dealt with as soon as possible, I am worried that it will not affect you well. "
"I know," Gong Xiqiao said in a relaxed tone, "since these people already know that Xi Qing is my thigh, how could this thigh not protect me. How good my acting is, anyone with eyes can see it. Which superstar does not Haven't been smeared before, even Brother Ming was smeared?"
"You think so openly," Chen Ke was helpless. Since they couldn't control this matter, they had no choice but to leave it alone. It's just that Xiao Qiao's tone is too determined. A big man like President Xi is really in the mood to deal with this kind of entertainment gossip right away.
Soon, Xi Qing let Chen Ke see the BOSS's hands-on ability. Not only did Xi Qing manage this matter, but he managed it as quickly as possible.
The person behind Heizi was stripped for less than half an hour, and the so-called unspoken rules were even refuted. The one who came out was Lin Yu, the screenwriter of "Cultivation". She publicly stated that Gong Xiqiao was the most perfect immortal in her mind. In order to decide Gong Xiqiao as the male protagonist, she also made a table and handsome bench with many people before deciding Gong Xiqiao.
Lin Yu is a well-known screenwriter. After her script was made into a movie, it has always been well-received and popular, and her reputation is also very good. She said that she is satisfied with Gong Xiqiao, and nine out of ten she is really satisfied with him. Because this person is really too individual, she was publicly scolded by a certain investor who wanted to stop people, so she should not be wronged by her character in order to please the investor.
Lin Yu just came out to speak, and another party, Ji Yuming, also stood up and refuted the unscrupulous reporter: "All the casting of "Cultivation" are strictly based on the role standards. It is even more ridiculous to say that Xiao Qiao robbed my protagonist. Speaking of which, that role is not for me at all, and if I go to play this role, it will ruin the work."
"Also, when you say that Xiao Qiao's acting skills are not good, you must be ignorant of your conscience or have not seen his works. Because anyone who has watched "Guoye" is embarrassed to say this. , Anyway, I really appreciate Xiao Qiao's acting skills and people. As for someone who says that Xiao Qiao is overwhelming with power, it's like seeing it with your own eyes.
I would like to ask, who are you, you know exactly what I told Xiao Qiao? Since you know so much, why don't you know that many people in the crew like to joke that I raised Xiao Qiao as my son? "
We all know that Ji Yingdi rarely speaks out, and he never cares about the gossip news of other artists. It is obvious that he is angry when he comes out to talk so much today.
When Ji Yuming's fans saw that their idol was so optimistic about Gong Xiqiao, they not only called each other Xiao Qiao affectionately, but also said that they regarded each other as their own training
If Gong Xiqiao is really as bad as the whistleblower said, will the actor Ji defend him like this
Thinking about it this way, the fans of the seasons have reacted. What the hell, this is someone who uses them as swordsmen and wants them to be happy for their relatives and enemies
"Manager, the public opinion on the Internet has already counterattacked, should we find a way..."
"No, you don't need to worry about the Internet, as long as this matter makes Gong Xiqiao's heart ache."
People who like painting and calligraphy have always been exceptionally aloof, and he does not believe that Gong Xiqiao can stand the world looking down on Xi Qing because of his prominence.
Many hatreds in the world are often caused by the fear of people's words.
