During the phone call in the morning, Zu Qi told Xue Jue the address of the show at night. If Xue Jue really wanted to come over now, in his capacity, the TV station staff would definitely not stop him.
It's just that Zu Qi was forced to tell a little lie just now. At this moment, he felt guilty from head to toe, and he was a little afraid to see Xue Jue.
more importantly-
Xue Jue obviously heard the screams of the female audience on his side, and suddenly fell silent. After a long time, he spoke uncertainly: "Are you...are you not recording a show?"
"Still..." Zu Qi replied subconsciously, and then suddenly remembered that the hostess had emphasized in advance that she could not indicate to the other party that the recording was in progress, so the words got stuck in the throat and turned abruptly, " No, then you go to the coffee shop and wait for me."
After he finished speaking, Zu Qi's heart began to thump thump thump thump.
Intuition told him that Xue Jue guessed that he was lying.
Just now, the hostess came to him and screamed, Xue Jue was neither deaf nor a fool, it was impossible to guess what kind of environment he was in, otherwise Xue Jue would not have asked what happened next.
Zu Qi was even a little worried that Xue Jue would reject him on the spot...
As a result, the next second, he heard Xue Jue reply: "Okay, but I may be a little late here, if you arrive earlier than me, you need to wait for me for a while."
Zu Qi pursed his lips and nodded, and soon he realized that Xue Jue couldn't see his movements, so he was too busy to respond: "Okay, okay."
"See you later." Xue Jue said.
"good."
The audience at the scene probably guessed that they had already revealed their secrets, so they stopped hiding and screamed wildly, as if they wanted to roar through the ceiling of the studio.
The hostess's face was full of excitement and excitement. She finally suppressed Zu Qi and hung up the phone, and she couldn't wait to say, "This is too much! I think Xue Jue already guessed that we were recording the show."
Speaking, the hostess threw the topic to the person next to her, "What do you think?"
It just so happened that Qiao Yiyang, who was silent from beginning to end, was standing next to her. Originally, Qiao Yiyang's expression was cold and indifferent. When the hostess asked such a question, she had to twitch the corners of her mouth.
"Maybe I didn't guess it." The smile squeezed out of Qiao Yiyang's face was still very gentle, but his tone revealed obvious perfunctory emotions.
The hostess seemed to have noticed something, smiled slightly embarrassedly, and stopped talking to Qiao Yiyang, but shifted the topic to Zu Qi again.
This punishment game seems to have pushed the atmosphere of the show to the climax. In the following process, the audience's emotions have been very excited, and they repeatedly called Zu Qi's name, and the recording process went very smoothly.
Zu Qi, who was suddenly loved by the audience, suddenly became very present, and he was upgraded from a soy sauce character who did nothing at first to a central character who participated in the game again and again.
While busy, Zu Qi always felt that he seemed to have forgotten a very important thing.
It's a pity that he can't remember what he forgot anyway.
…
At 10:30 p.m., the recording ended, and the host and guests stepped down one by one amid the applause and calls of the audience.
Duan Kai and Xiao Deng Zi have been waiting in the background. Seeing Zu Qi coming, Duan Kai gave Zu Qi a hug without saying a word, and there was a rare smile on Jun's face, which was always cold.
"It's a good performance, and the trending search is stable." Duan Kai patted Zu Qi's shoulder and said.
Since there was no one else in the dressing room for the time being, Xiao Dengzi was not so careful in his words and deeds. He happily circled Zu Qi for a few times, and said with a chatter, "Brother Qi, you are really amazing! There are so many people on the stage. Even if you forcibly made a way out, we all thought you would be submerged in the back!"
Zu Qi: "I'm not... I don't... "
"You made the right choice. Only if you don't take the usual path can you let the camera and the audience notice you." Duan Kai laughed.
"..." Seeing this, Zu Qi could only give up his struggle.
"Right." Duan Kai suddenly remembered something, "Did you call Xue Jue later? If he misunderstands what you mean, it would be bad if he really went to that cafe."
Hearing this, Zu Qi was stunned for a moment. He finally remembered what he had forgotten when he was recording the show—
He forgot to call Xue Jue.
And at that time, almost everyone thought that Xue Jue had exposed his lie, but he didn't break it in front of everyone, so they naturally felt that Xue Jue would not go to the appointment.
When Duan Kai saw Zu Qi's appearance, he knew that they didn't inform Xue Jue after the incident, so he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Xue Jue. No matter whether others believed it or not, he thought that Xue Jue would really rush to that coffee shop stupidly. .
"Hurry up and give him a call." Duan Kai said.
Zu Qi quickly picked up his mobile phone and called Xue Jue, but was prompted that the other party had turned off.
"He's turned off..." Zu Qi Leng put down his phone, and without any hesitation, rushed into the dressing room to change out of the stage outfit as quickly as possible, and he hurried out without even taking off the makeup on his face.
Duan Kai asked Xiao Deng Zi to follow him, and he stayed to deal with the follow-up work.
Who knew that just after opening the door of the dressing room, they just bumped into the director of the program group and the hostess who walked in from the outside. They all changed their clothes and saw that Zu Qi was also ready, so they invited Zu Qi to have supper and went together. There are also people in the crew such as Director Wang and Qiao Yiyang, as well as several staff members of the show team.
This show is one of the ace shows of local satellite TV. The female host is also a very important host in the circle. They chose to have a private meal and make friends because of the face of Director Wang and Qiao Yiyang, and brought their ancestors by the way. Qi and two other actors.
In terms of love and reason, Zu Qi is not qualified to refuse.
But thinking of Xue Jue who could not be contacted, Zu Qi hesitated a bit, and after thinking for a moment, he planned to politely refuse.
Unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, Duan Kai, who was behind, spoke for him: "I'll take you there."
Zu Qi turned his head to look at Duan Kai, and found that Duan Kai had put on his usual plain expression again, and he was indifferent under the hint of his eyes.
The hostess asked Duan Kai in surprise, "Aren't you going?"
"Some important things have fallen into the company, and we are going to go back." Duan Kai said.
The hostess looked regretful, but did not force it.
Since the promise has been said, Zu Qi, who has no choice but to follow the director and hostess.
The place to eat supper is near the snack street, which is half an hour's drive from the TV station. A group of people drove four cars to the past. Zu Qi was still worried after thinking about it. Please ask Duan Kai to help him after he goes to the company. Go find Xue Jue.
Duan Kai sighed: "You can go in peace. We're just an excuse to go back to the company. We'll rush to that cafe later."
Although Duan Kai repeatedly assured that he would call Zu Qi once there was news, Zu Qi was still uneasy, and even a little absent-minded when chatting with other people.
Fortunately, there are two big names in front of Wang Dao and Qiao Yiyang, and those people will not keep throwing the topic on Zu Qi.
Zu Qi was looking at his mobile phone while eating, and when he recovered, he heard Director Wang and the hostess discussing Qiao Yiyang's name change.
"So 'Qiao Yiyang' is your stage name?! I thought Qiao Yiyang was your life!" The hostess is known as a know-it-all in the entertainment industry, but she didn't even know that Qiao Yiyang had changed her name.
Speaking of this, Director Wang also had a sighed expression on his face: "I can only say that the name 'Joy Yang' is too similar to a real name, if you choose a name like Gong Mo, Nanlu, and those messy names, I can see it at a glance. It's a stage name."
The director of the program group was eating skewers, and said quietly: "In that case, I can see it at a glance."
Qiao Yiyang said with a smile: "It's my fault for being too superstitious. I have a relative who can tell fortunes, and he is right a lot of the time. He said that if I use my real name to enter the entertainment industry, it will easily lead to disasters. It's better to change my name. My current He also helped me pick the name."
Qiao Yiyang deliberately suppressed this matter before, so naturally not many people knew his real name, and even fans only knew that his surname was different from his parents' surname.
Now that he has a firm foothold in the circle, he is no longer afraid of those feudal superstitions. Sometimes when he is having dinner with friends, he will tell the story of his name change as a little story.
"Xiao Senxu..." The hostess slammed it, "I think the name is very nice, it's a pity not to be known."
Qiao Yiyang said: "My relatives said that this name has too much momentum, and it contradicts my character. It would be better to take a stage name with soft sunshine."
The hostess smiled and said, "Anyway, no matter what your name is, I'm your number one fan."
Zu Qi rested his chin with one hand and listened to their conversation boredly. He couldn't help frowning when he heard Qiao Yiyang's real name.
Xiao Senxu
Very familiar name.
But he had no memory of where he had heard the name.
Although many settings in this world are basically the same as in the original world, for example, there are software such as Weibo, WeChat and Taobao, but the characters here have undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, the founder of Taobao is no longer Ma Yun, but another with the same surname Ma. tall young man.
Therefore, all the people in the entertainment circle are not familiar with Zu Qi. In order not to expose the secret that he is not the original owner, Zu Qi made a lot of effort in the early days to remember the big guys in the circle.
When I hear a name, I feel familiar, and it also happens to Zu Qi.
Zu Qi thought of Xue Jue in his heart, so he didn't take the name to heart.
This supper lasted for two hours. Director Wang and the director of the program group drank a lot of alcohol. The two staggered out of the restaurant supporting each other, while the rest stayed by the side, for fear that they would fall.
Zu Qi was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to appear anxious, so he buried his head and walked at the back alone.
In the corner of the light, someone gradually approached him, and then Qiao Yiyang's voice sounded in his ear: "Are you going home? I'll take you back."
"Ah?" Zu Qi raised his head, "Did you drive here?"
"My assistant drove the nanny car." Qiao Yiyang said, "it's so late, it's not safe to take a taxi, it's too much trouble for you to let Duan Kai come."
