Han Chu actually knew almost everything about Ye Shuang's secret.
Whether it was genetic evolution or genetic mutation, the level of horror was almost the same, so there was no need for Ye Shuang to hide it. In addition, it is difficult to keep secrets around Han Chu's IQ, so after interacting with the Ye family for a while, the whole story has been basically guessed by the other party.
Of course, such an unethical thing as XXOO's fixed gender cannot be leaked. What Han Chu knows so far is that Ye Shuang was unlucky enough to be assimilated by alien genes.
…
The first day of check-in was considered as settling in and resting. When Vincent came back the next day, he already had the confirmed shooting arrangements in hand.
Ye Shuang got up a little late. When he went downstairs, he happened to see Rong Su and Catherine already on the terrace. They were lying face to face on a table. There were several spread papers in front of them and they were chatting about something in the morning light. Next to them, they were chatting about something in the morning light. Qiu Yu also serves as translator.
Vincent was sitting in the living room, seemingly in no hurry, enjoying himself with a glass of wine. He raised his head when he heard the sound of someone coming downstairs, and when he saw it was Ye Shuang, he smiled and raised his glass. Invitation gesture: "Mr. Ye, would you like to have a drink together?"
"Brandy?" Ye Shuang didn't refuse. He looked at the color of the wine glass in Vincent's hand and was slightly surprised. Then he chuckled: "It seems that Mrs. Catherine's introduction yesterday was not detailed enough. I don't know this building." There is also a wine cellar underneath the bungalow.”
Vincent raised his eyebrows and smiled more sincerely than before. He spread out his hand and motioned for Ye Shuang to walk towards the stairs with him: "It's not Catherine's fault. How could a French villa not have a wine cellar? Maybe Kay Akane thought you Orientals wouldn't be interested in this... Oh, please come this way with me."
The French people's affection for wine is like that of a Chinese rich man having a mistress.
If you have some spare money on hand, if you want to have the capital to brag in your circle of friends, then collecting antiques can still be ranked at the back. If you want to show your successful taste and gain recognition, more importantly, it depends on your family. How is the wine cellar decorated
Generally, French people will decorate the wine cellar on the first day they move into a villa. Even an ordinary family will at least have a wine cabinet to store wine. If you are really financially strapped, you can only drink in pubs outside.
There is pre-dinner wine before the meal, wine to accompany the meal, and after-dinner wine... In short, wine is essential, even far more important than the food itself.
Drinking is a taste.
Let’s not talk about the social and cultural origins. In short, it is difficult for non-locals to understand the French drinking culture.
It is precisely because of this that after Ye Shuang confirmed that the brandy in Vincent's hand was the self-storage wine of Catherine's family, Vincent seemed particularly happy - no one dislikes other people's understanding and respect for themselves. .
"Katherine's house stores good wines that can be aged for a long time." After turning around under the stairs, Vincent led Ye Shuang to open a small door that the latter thought was a utility room. The fragrance of the fruit trees that had been sealed and stored behind the door suddenly hit your face.
All solid wood wine racks are placed on both sides of the basement, with grooves of various shapes and angles cut out in the middle to facilitate the storage of wine bottles of different shapes. In addition, there are also some wines that are stored directly in wine barrels, such as brandy oak barrels and Aquavit sherry wood barrels.
After letting Ye Shuang into the wine cellar, Vincent showed off proudly: "In addition to wine, Catherine also stores many other varieties. Of course, I personally prefer brandy. Well, which one do you want to try?" ?”
"Same as you." Ye Shuang smiled casually: "I trust your tongue."
Vincent was flattered by Xiao Xiao, and he was proud but still couldn't hide his pride. Sure enough, he took Ye Shuang to a wine barrel. Although he didn't mean to be sneaky, Vincent still subconsciously looked at it before getting the wine. He glanced at the door, as if he was afraid that Catherine would suddenly appear at the door and find him pouring "another" glass...
Ye Shuang couldn't help but chuckle. Vincent seemed to realize that there was something wrong with his little move. After being laughed at, he relaxed. Then he quickly poured out a glass without covering up his movements, handed it to Ye Shuang and spread his hands helplessly: "I I live in a high-end apartment. You know, although most French people live a leisurely life, there are always people like me who don’t have much personal time. There is only a row of two-meter-long wine cabinets in my apartment. Compared to Catherine’s house But it’s far away, so I always have a drink every time I come over... Well, you know.”
"I understand very well." Ye Shuang joked. To put it bluntly, he drank wine every time he came over, so he was probably on the host's blacklist.
Once we have a common language, the atmosphere for further communication becomes much more relaxed.
The two of them left the wine cellar with a glass of brandy each and sat on the edge of the island to chat.
"Rong Su is going to shoot today?" Ye Shuang asked casually as she looked at the three women on the terrace and then at the document bag that Vincent casually pressed on the table with his arm.
"We're not shooting right away." Vincent replied nonchalantly. It's not a commercial secret anyway: "We just need to communicate the concept first and let Ms. Rong Su know the effect we want. Then we have to try on makeup and clothes to make sure I auditioned after getting a rough look... Well, the commercial may take a few days, but if it's quick, I can take photos in a week."
Ye Shuang just asked a lively question. He said "hmm" but didn't feel much. He looked around and was curious: "I don't seem to see Xia Cheng. He went out for a walk?"
Vincent frowned and looked at his watch: "He seems to be still in his room? I didn't see him when I came here."
It shouldn’t be!
Ye Shuang was also stunned: "I thought he would go to the shooting studio with you..."
Xia Cheng shouldn't miss such a good opportunity to show his face, right? After all, with Catherine's face, no one would say anything if he really wanted to go to the filming set. When the time comes, you can come to visit me at work... Even if you can't win over Rong Su in one fell swoop, at least you can become familiar with her
So Ye Shuang originally thought that Xia Cheng must have gotten up early and was even ready to leave at any time. Unexpectedly, the result was unexpected. He is still having a tryst with Zhou Gong... "Are you sure you are going to the studio today? "Ye Shuang thought for a while and couldn't help but confirm again.
Could it be that he was just doing some preparation work at home today, so Xia Chengcai didn't show enthusiasm
Vincent glanced at Ye Shuang strangely: "Isn't it a good time to go out today?"
"..." Ye Shuang was choked, and after a moment, she simply lied shamelessly: "That's it. Vincent should have noticed that Xia Cheng suddenly asked for such a huge favor from Catherine to give Rong Su..." Mysterious Leaning her body closer, Ye Shuang smiled and lowered her voice: "Do you think he wants to pursue Rong Su? After all, Mr. Xia Cheng didn't know Rong Su very well before."
"It's nothing even if it's pursuit... huh?!" Vincent was about to take another sip of wine nonchalantly, but suddenly he paused as if he realized something. Then he looked at Ye Shuang's thoughtful expression and suddenly realized: "You …”
Looking around like a thief, Vincent lowered his voice, leaned forward and smiled mysteriously: "So you are pursuing our new spokesperson?"
No, she just wanted to explain that she was actually the guardian hired by cousin Rong Su to drive away the wild bees... Uh, wait!
"..." Ye Shuang figured out the joints in an instant, and combined it with the French character who likes to pursue romance... He lowered his eyelids and slowly straightened his body. When he raised his gaze again, Brother Shuang's eyes were already filled with affection towards the Oriental woman on the terrace. Cast a glance in the direction.
The intoxicating eyes almost made Vincent, a man of his own sex, look crazy. Under the thin morning light, the unrealistically handsome young man seemed to have been plated with a halo of light, looking at his "lover" on the terrace. His expression is pious and fascinating...
No one could bear to live up to the affection of such a man!
No one could bear to let such a pair of beautiful eyes show sadness and heartbreak!
The wine glass in Vincent's hand tilted unconsciously without realizing it. After a while, he came back to his senses from the obsession of holding his breath. He took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and took a gulp of wine, even forgetting to drink it carefully. taste.
"Don't worry!" Vincent suddenly put the wine glass on the table. He felt as if he was carrying some important mission. He nodded heavily to the handsome young man who looked over in "surprise", as if he was making some kind of promise: "I will not You will let others take away your lover!"
"..." Is it really okay for someone with such a simple mind to be the person in charge of a large company
Ye Shuang smiled movedly: "Thank you."
…
Until the two men reach a certain tacit understanding, Rong Su still doesn't know that he is "secretly in love".
After discussing with Catherine for a while, it didn't take long for the two of them to reach a consensus on the initial shooting feeling, and then they would rush to the shooting scene together after breakfast.
"By the way, Miss Rong Su." Catherine was still a teammate on Xia Cheng's side, so she naturally helped out when she stood up. She joked and said with a smile: "Xia Cheng will also go to the studio with us. It seems that he I care about you very much."
Qiu Yu smiled calmly on his face, as if what he heard was "white bread for breakfast today", and smoothly translated to Qiu Yu: "Mrs. Catherine said that Xia Cheng also wants to go to the studio together. It seems that he is very worried about whether you will I can’t do this endorsement well.”
As for translation, after all, there are differences in culture and language habits between the two countries. It is okay to expand, delete or replace it with a similar meaning.
Oh, you said the translation was wrong? Sorry, she just graduated and may not be very professional...
Rong Su suddenly became more motivated, and her favorability towards Xia Cheng dropped slightly by a few percentage points without even realizing it: "I will definitely work hard!"
Qiu Yu calmly and gently translated back: "Miss Rong Su said she will work hard."
Um? no response? ... Catherine looked carefully at Rong Suquan's little face with no shy expression, and for a moment she was a little confused about the cultural character of the Orientals.
Aren’t you saying that Oriental girls are shy and cute? Even if you really don't like the other person, if you suddenly hear that someone is so fond of you, it should be at least a little surprising.
Catherine thought for a while and tried: "I think Xia Cheng and Miss Rong Su have a good relationship? After all, he has never recommended other female stars to me." This time it's obvious enough, girl! People are interested in you!
Qiu Yu translated again: "Mrs. Catherine asked if you and Xia Cheng had any private relationship or agreement, so he would give you this opportunity."
Rong Su was just excited at first, but now he is angry!
What's the meaning? Is that bastard trying to make unspoken rules for himself? Or spread rumors and smear
"...I have nothing to do with him." Rong Su gritted his teeth for a while and said each word in a gloomy tone under Catherine's increasingly confused gaze.
Qiu Yu nodded and turned back: "Miss Rong Su said that she has no and will not have any relationship with Xia Cheng."
The meaning is pretty much the same, so there should be no problem in just making do with it? Tsk! French is really difficult to learn. There are not only tenses but also gender in the grammatical habits... As expected, she was not good at studying, and she had to take more tutoring lessons when she returned to China.
Ye Shuang had good ears and eyesight. Looking at Qiu Yu's gentle and harmless look on the terrace, and then listening to the content she "translated" between the two women, Ye Shuang couldn't help but let out a "puff" and said to Qiu Yu. The favorability level has skyrocketed.
"What's wrong?" Vincent looked over to Rong Su with interest, wanting to see if Ye Shuang's "dream lover" had done something to make "him" laugh unconsciously.
Ye Shuang looked back and waved her hands, sighing: "It's nothing, I just think Rong Su and Lady Catherine had a good chat. It seems that the next work should go smoothly."
Vincent was confused: "Uh... I think it should go smoothly." Is this it
…
So, when Xia Cheng took care of his personal image in the room and walked downstairs for breakfast as gracefully as possible, he was greeted by Rong Su's challenging gaze like a warrior.
Xia Cheng, who thought that Catherine should have laid a foundation for his relationship, was stunned for a moment, and the smile that was about to spread froze on his lips: "..." What happened
It was difficult to finish breakfast in a weird atmosphere. After all, Catherine was an experienced and mature woman. Even if she didn't understand the language, she could at least understand her expressions.
I don’t understand why Rong Su suddenly became hostile to Xia Cheng. In the end, I can only conclude that the other party probably really hates Xia Cheng... With this understanding, even if Xia Cheng repeatedly casts a subtle look at her, Catherine can no longer blatantly represent her. People's favorability has increased.
So she ate the meal in silence, only occasionally greeting a few guests considerately, without saying even a single unnecessary nonsense.
On the contrary, Ye Shuang took care of Rong Su very smoothly. Anyway, she had the foundation of shared adversity and the good impression of a hero saving the beauty. Rong Su basically regarded her as her brother now. Even if Ye Shuang took care of her a little more, it wouldn't matter. It won't seem so abrupt.
So he passed the bread, salad, and water... Ye Shuang's meticulous thoughtfulness made Vincent very envious, and he felt as if he was witnessing a beautiful love with his own eyes.
Xia Cheng... Xia Cheng was extremely heartbroken.
After finishing the meal, Xia Cheng took Catherine's private car as a matter of course. Before getting in the car, he still threw an accommodating and caring mature smile to Rong Su, trying his best to show his friendliness.
Rong Su's response to this was a polite and distant smile, and then he took Qiu Yu and boarded the nanny car without any attachment, making it clear that he was too lazy to talk to him.
Xia Cheng got into the car silently and asked Catherine: "...I think Rong Su seems to have some misunderstandings about me?"
"..." Even though she knew that Xia Cheng might not really want to pursue him, Catherine still couldn't help but show sympathy: "I think... uh, maybe she doesn't like you?"
Vincent got into the nanny's car and invited Ye Shuang very naturally: "Let's take a look at the shooting together. I think you don't have any other plans today?"
Ye Shuang accepted the kindness unceremoniously and got into the car naturally as soon as she raised her feet: "Thank you so much. Actually, I'm really worried."
Vincent smiled and watched Ye Shuang close the car door indifferently. After the car started, he asked out of curiosity: "Where is your companion?"
"She probably wants to hang out nearby. I can just go over and accompany Rong Su." Ye Shuang said nonchalantly.
Su Zheng's greatest value lies in stealing and searching for clues. A place like a photo studio is completely beyond her ability. Besides, what can she do if she doesn't understand the language? It would be better to stay at Catherine's house and look for anything else suspicious.
"I understand." Vincent glanced at Rong Su with a self-satisfied look, and then cast a vague look at Ye Shuang: "It really doesn't take too many people to go to this kind of thing." When pursuing a girl, don't bring him with you. What's wrong with having sex with another girl
Ye Shuang smiled and said nothing. Instead, he glanced at Qiu Yu, who had never spoken much, and suddenly said: "Miss Qiu's foreign language ability is indeed very strong. I feel relieved when you are by Xiao Su's side."
Rong Su happily interjected: "Yes, I also think Xiaoyu is very good. I heard that she took over many professional translation documents as a part-time job when she was in college."
Qiu Yu was unfazed, raised her fingers to tuck the hair on her chest back behind her ears, raised her head and smiled quietly: "Mr. Ye's language proficiency also surprised me... Since I have done the job you introduced, I naturally have to think about my employer. "
"Keep it up!" Ye Shuang was very satisfied. This is a smart person who saves worries, and it is so easy to cooperate.
Rong Su didn't hear what the two were talking about. She didn't have to worry about it anyway, so she took everything literally.
Taking advantage of the time on the road, Rong Suhuan and Ye Shuang asked for advice on how to shoot endorsements... Her family has a good background, and the real estate advertisement that Fang Mo originally asked Ye Shuang to shoot was naturally part of her family. Su once was also amazed by Brother Shuang... Ye Shuang really had no work experience, but she had plug-ins, so she briefly explained some tips on how to find the light and how to adjust the body posture to be elegant, and then agreed to Rong Su. Helping her calculate the plane location, the two of them passed the time happily.
As for Xia Cheng, the intermediary introducer? Ye Shuang won't mention him at all, Rong Su has a bad impression of him, Vincent wants to maintain a good relationship, and Qiu Yu is a smart person who knows... Who is Xia Cheng? Why mention him
In this way, everyone silently ignored this person.
Rong Su's nanny's car was filled with laughter and laughter, but the atmosphere in Catherine's private car was stagnant.
The atmosphere in the two cars was completely different, so after getting off the bus at the destination, the cheerful and relaxed expressions of Rong Su and others were in sharp contrast to the obviously too stiff smiles of Xia Cheng and the others.
"Brother Ye, let's go to the dressing room first!"
Rong Su and Qiu Yu happily waved goodbye to Ye Shuang. The happy look clearly showed that she and Ye Shuang had a very close relationship.
"The dressing room is a forbidden area for women." Vincent spread his hands and said with a humorous smile, and then invited Ye Shuang: "Shall we go and see the studio first? This will also give you an idea of Miss Rong Su's working environment."
Ye Shuang was disrespectful. She didn't even need to say anything. Vincent was already very self-conscious about defending love. He called Xia Cheng who was about to follow Catherine to the dressing room: "Mr. Xia Cheng, please come too." , I assume you haven’t visited our work shed yet?”
Second Austrian! I'm going to pick up girls, and your workplace is none of my business!
Xia Cheng's smile was almost distorted, but there was no way he could honestly say that I just wasn't interested in the studio. I just wanted to go to the dressing room that was currently full of women... Xia Cheng could only grit his teeth and swallow with blood, and thanked with tears: "Wen Mr. Senter was so welcoming and can’t thank you enough.”
Catherine glanced at Xia Cheng sympathetically, and left reluctantly under the latter's depressed eyes.
Xia Cheng, on the other hand, had to follow Vincent and Ye Shuang, and was crushed by the two of them, one with a high position and one with good looks... None of the staff who passed by the three of them noticed him. , everyone either greeted Vincent politely, or cast a startling look at Ye Shuang. The well-dressed Xia Cheng was almost transformed into a junior assistant by the two men.
If you have a good heart, how can you break it if you want to take revenge on society
Vincent obviously stood by Ye Shuang's side, but he didn't necessarily have much hostility towards Xia Cheng.
So when introducing the studio, Vincent didn't really ignore Xia Cheng too much. Instead, he introduced the various backgrounds, machines and related staff to both of them equally.
"Our advertising directors have very strict requirements, but high requirements can only produce high quality, so I think you two should also understand." When he was still about five or six meters away from the director who was directing the work, Vincent was already there. He introduced the serious-looking bearded man in a low voice to the two of them: "James is a famous director in the independent filmmaker circle, so he pursues all details more than other directors... Ye, I am not I want to deliberately embarrass you, but if his attitude is too bad for a while, I hope you can communicate with Miss Rong Su. I think persuasion and comfort are indispensable."
"The director has a bad temper?" Ye Shuang understood immediately after hearing this and raised an eyebrow.
Vincent showed a helpless smile and spread his hands: "Most talented directors have bad tempers."
Ye Shuang smiled, ignored Xia Cheng's thoughtful gaze and nodded: "I will pay attention to Rong Su's emotions. I believe she can understand."
Vincent then smiled: "That would be great." (To be continued)
