Carrying the flight case and finding a sheltered corner, Gu Lang allowed the two girls to hold the badger wearing a small black T-shirt and pose for photos with various cute expressions. The two even held Wang Ping in the middle, and took a photo of each of them kissing the badger's face.
Wang Ping swore that he was definitely not the kind of person who would take advantage of a young girl... Badger, but looking at Gu Laosan's face as black as the bottom of a pot, he still felt secretly happy.
"As expected, the public has sharp eyes and knows who the protagonist is!"
A certain badger secretly sighed in his heart and no longer cared about having to act cute with the two little girls.
It was not until he got rid of the two reluctant little girls and Gu Lang carried the badger back into the airline box and found the airport reception staff guarding the gate of Area A that he realized he was the last one to arrive. The others had already checked into the hotel the night before.
"I knew that people with the surname Chen were unreliable!" Someone rolled his eyes and got into the special car that came to pick him up, leaving the airport and speeding towards the south of Qindao City.
In fact, Chen Bai informed him that he had to arrive at Qindao before noon. But after all, not everyone was as close as this guy, and he also had to consider the flight time or the possibility of missing the flight. So everyone else chose to leave early, only Gu Lao San left home leisurely this morning.
After wasting more than an hour on the road, it was almost 11 o'clock when Gu Lang arrived at the Haier InterContinental Hotel on the seaside.
The car stopped in front of the hotel. As soon as Gu Lang got out of the car, before he could take a closer look at the surroundings, he was grabbed by Chen Bai, who was already anxious.
"You really are my brother!"
Chen Bai seemed to have recovered well. He no longer needed to wear a net bag on his head, but just had a piece of gauze on his forehead, symbolizing that he was still working with an injury.
While pulling Gu Lang towards the hotel, Chen Bai complained, "I told you to be here before 12 noon, and you really came on time?"
"I'm not late..." Gu Lang curled his lips and looked at Chen Bai with a squint: "Besides, how dare you say that to me? It was you who told me the time..."
"I was..."
Chen Bai was speechless and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "How would I know you're so honest! Everyone else came early, so you're the only one who's on time, right?"
"no way!"
Gu Lang had a proud look on his face. Just when he was about to casually lift his hair, he realized that one of his hands was holding a badger and the other hand was being held by Chen Bai. He could only raise his eyebrows and said, "My grandma taught me since I was a child that I shouldn't just follow what others do. Success is often something that only a few people can do!"
Chen Bai: …
After staring at someone for a long time, Chen Bai nodded silently: "Your grandma... is right!"
Taking Gu Lang to the front desk to complete the check-in procedures, without waiting for someone to go to the room to catch his breath, Chen Bai pulled him out of the hotel and went straight to a restaurant opposite.
The program producer originally planned to invite several anchors to have a meal before leaving in the afternoon. However, since meals were not part of the official project, they were not included in the schedule and were only notified after everyone arrived.
Chen Bai didn't care much about this matter at first, but when he saw that everyone was waiting at dinner time and Gu Lao San hadn't shown up yet, he began to panic. With someone's habit of letting himself go at the critical moment, Chen Bai was really afraid that this guy would stand him up and embarrass others.
However, when they entered the private room of the restaurant called Cui Yu Xuan, they were shocked to find that everyone inside had already started eating. It seemed that they had no intention of waiting for this guy at all.
"Uh..." A bookish young man sitting by the door was embarrassed when he saw the two open the door. He didn't know how to put the food in his chopsticks down or eat it. He was stunned for a moment before he stood up and stretched out his hand with a smile, saying, "You are Gu Lang, right? I've heard of you for a long time! My name is Yi Jiuyang, and I'm also the host participating in this program with you."
"Oh, hello!" Gu Lang was about to reach out his hand, but the other person extended his right hand, but his right hand was holding an airline box, which made him even more embarrassed.
"… "
The two looked at each other, and the other party lowered his arm silently.
Of course, not everyone was so enthusiastic. Others were relatively indifferent. Beside Yi Jiuyang, a round-faced young man wearing a dark green quick-drying T-shirt glanced at Gu Lang, snorted coldly, and turned his head to talk to a short-haired young man on the other side. It was obvious that he was deliberately trying to show his displeasure to someone.
It’s probably because someone’s “punctuality” appears to be late in everyone’s eyes.
Through the gap in the airline box, Wang Ping, who had seen the trailer, recognized that the man with the round face was Ding Yi, and the young man with a crew cut who was listening to him was Yang Xu.
Unlike the disheveled appearance in the vcr, Yang Xu now looked much more sunny. He tilted his head slightly, as if listening to Ding Yi's words, looking at Gu Lang, nodding slightly, not knowing whether he was greeting someone or agreeing with Ding Yi's words.
Gu Laosan's face lit up with joy, and he was about to say hello to his idol, but he saw Yang Xu turn around again and start talking to Ding Yi with a smile.
Seeing the sudden silence, a middle-aged man in a shirt facing the door stood up quickly and explained to Gu Lang and Chen Bai with a smile: "I didn't expect Xiao Gu to make it, so I decided to start the meal first. Come in!"
"This is our producer, Hu Lai, President Hu!" Chen Bai whispered to someone beside him.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Hu!" Gu Laosan nodded casually. The rejection of these people towards him could be felt by anyone who breathed. So someone's face was no longer as enthusiastic as when he first came in, and he began to silently blacklist them in his heart.
"Sit next to me, there's a seat here!" A 30-year-old man wearing a black T-shirt stood up on Gu Lang's left, pointed to the empty seat on his left and said with a smile. It was Han Daxia, who had the weirdest name among the five male anchors.
"Thanks!"
Gu Lang nodded and thanked him. Just as he was about to walk towards the seat next to Han Daxia, the girl in yellow who was sitting one seat away suddenly stood up and pulled Han Daxia in to sit over, saying with a smile, "Uncle, please sit next to me!"
"Tsk tsk, they all look very friendly!" A badger squatted in the airline box and sighed silently.
Gu Lang glanced at Hu Li, who was sitting next to Han Da Xia, and his expression was a little strange. As for the legendary "outdoor lady" Li Mengdie, who was sitting next to Hu Li and next to Hu Lai, she didn't show any obvious hostility, but she didn't show anything else. She nodded to Gu Lang with a cold face.
Chen Bai patted Gu Lang's shoulder sympathetically, then turned around and left. Before leaving, he took someone's airline box and said he was taking a badger to eat a special meal. However, Wang Ping estimated that there might be someone in this room who didn't like him either.
When they arrived at the next private room, Chen Bai let him out and explained that a certain producer was allergic to small animals.
"You're so allergic, you just think I'm not presentable enough!" A certain badger secretly despised me in his heart. These people are all reasonable in front of the camera, but their private qualities seem to be even worse than Gu Lao San. Only that Han Daxia and Yi Jiuyang look good.
Wang Ping didn't know how Gu Lang ate this meal, but Chen Bai served him wholeheartedly. Living by the sea, the big, fat oysters and sea-caught shrimps made the badger's belly round.
By the time the banquet was over, Chen Bai's hands were sore from peeling shrimps. Compared to the others, Wang Ping was the most famous one among them, and he even had someone to serve him during meals.
Because we were leaving for the island in the afternoon, we didn't drink at noon.
After leaving the restaurant, the group walked towards the nearby dock. Chen Bai, who was carrying the badger that was put into the air box again, walked at the end and then looked at the seven anchors again.
Gu Laosan's face was not very good. He walked in the back and talked with Han Daxia. He looked at Yang Xu from time to time with hesitation and confusion. In front, Hu Li and Li Mengdie were holding hands and talking to Yang Xu and Ding Yi, laughing from time to time.
Yi Jiuyang was originally following the person in front of him, trying to interject from time to time, but he was always distracted after a few words. After following silently for a while, he mixed in with Gu Laosan and Han Daxia behind him.
"You all are so arrogant!" A badger pinched his chin and sneered secretly while hiding in the airline box, "I just wonder how long you can keep up this arrogance after you see the power of Gu Lao San."
