The day is breezy and warm, and the temperature warms up at noon, which is a good weather for sleeping in at home.
And Shao Si still had to get up from the bed, tidy up, and go to the Japanese grocery store to attend the appointment.
Qi Ming booked a private room in advance yesterday, this shop is secretive and safe, and of course the price is not cheap.
Shao Si walked in fully armed, and before he could speak, he was recognized sharply by the front desk: "Mr. Shao, please come this way, the private room you reserved is on the second floor. Do you need to serve the cold dishes for you first? Would you like to drink?" Tea or drink?"
Shao Si took off his mask, straightened his hair that was messed up by the hat, and said, "No need, just boiled water."
[Do little girls like to be late? ] The system waited and waited with Shao Si, and watched helplessly that a full twenty minutes had passed before the appointed time, and the legendary "Qi Xiayang" did not appear.
Shao Si wore a black sweater today, and wore ripped jeans on his lower body as if he was not afraid of the cold. After playing a game, he put his phone on the table and drank two more sips of water: [I'm so bored, just take this attitude, I won't answer this show even if it's not plagiarized. ]
[By the way, how about the female number one you reminded the day before yesterday? Did it have any effect after you reminded her? ]
[You mean An Yin? ] Shao Si paused and said, [What effect can it have. ]
About a week ago, the official Weibo of the TV drama released a complete set of makeup photos of An Yin playing the heroine, from the girlhood to the final transformation into a demon, there are three sets of looks.
The selection of roles is often finalized with the actors. After the salary is set and the contract is signed, it will be officially announced to the audience.
So as not to spread the unnecessary misunderstanding of "so and so snatched so and so's female number one" everywhere.
Shao Si curled his fingers and tapped a few times casually on the table. Thinking that An Yin continued to repost the promotional phrases related to "One life, one couple" on Weibo yesterday, his fingers on the table suddenly stopped: [Her Café, the salary for a film is about 50 million yuan, double the breach of contract, and hundreds of millions of liquidated damages, do you think she can afford it? ]
An Yin is a good person, but she is not a fool either.
With the contract in hand, she had no choice.
In addition, these "discordant" voices are a minority after all. She still has many fans who wholeheartedly support her and wait for the work to come out.
Even if this road is wrong, she has too many things on her back, and there is only one way to get to Hei.
Qi Xiayang was half an hour late. Originally, Shao Si didn't want to show her a good face. For the sake of convenience, he got up to greet her: "Miss Qi."
Qi Xiayang was dressed in business attire, a black hip-wrapping skirt, and a white chiffon in a short suit with a bow hanging on his chest. Long curly hair, facial features that are not too good-looking but correct, exquisite makeup, and two shallow pear dimples when he smiles: "Sorry, I'm late, there is a bit of traffic jam on the road."
The two of the Qi family really have a common skill - they both have a very deceptive face.
"It's okay, I just came here not long ago." Shao Si poured her a glass of water, then unfolded the menu and pushed it over the table, "What do you want to eat?"
Qi Xiayang took the water, swiped his fingers lightly on the menu, his fingernails were painted with vermilion nail polish, and a few rhinestones were stuck on them, every time he swiped, Shao Si's eyes flashed: "Then, here are two Tuna, with sliced ginger."
Originally, they didn't come here just to eat, so Shao Si casually ordered a few more dishes, closed the menu, and said to the waiter who was waiting at the side: "That's all for now, sorry for the trouble."
The waiter took notes on a piece of paper, bowed slightly, and withdrew: "We will serve you food as soon as possible, just call us if you need anything."
During the meal, Qi Xiayang looked at Shao Si frequently.
Shao Si didn't appear to be overly warm, he still had that aloof look, but he would take care of her in action, pushing her favorite food in front of her calmly.
These actions obviously satisfied Qi Xiayang's vanity to a large extent, she smiled shyly: "It's okay, I can catch it myself."
The man on the opposite side can almost be said to be the fantasy object of thousands of girls. Especially when he is as indifferent as he is now, but the only way he looks after you is extraordinarily charming.
Although Qi Xiayang was Qi Ming's cousin, her cousin rarely let her get involved in the affairs of the circle. Usually, if he wanted to go to the company to see celebrities, he would be caught and severely scolded by Qi Ming.
If Qi Ming hadn't supported her book this time, she might not have had the opportunity to get in touch with this circle, let alone sit and eat with Shao Si.
"Can I... take a photo with you?" Qi Xiayang stared at him for a long time, and finally said this sentence, "I'm a little excited to see you in real life for the first time."
Before Shao Si could figure out how to refuse, the phone rang halfway through, sending out a "ding" notification tone.
The phone screen lights up, and a small WeChat dialog box pops up on the screen lock interface.
[Gu Yanzhou]: Did the ancestor eat on time
Qi Xiayang glanced across the table: "Who is it?"
Without changing his face, Shao Si unlocked the screen lock, clicked a few times on the screen, sent a few words, and replied smoothly: "I am an assistant."
[Your father Shao]: I'm eating, I'm so bored.
[Your father Shao]: ... It's not about you.
[Gu Yanzhou]: Huh
Shao Si's hands were fast, his knuckles curled up, and he tapped a few times before sending out another sentence.
[Your father Shao]: I was having dinner with a certain silly elder sister.
Gu Yanzhou didn't ask who it was, just said: Don't worry about being stupid, concentrate on eating, food is more important.
…
Just ask, is there anyone who comforts people like this
Shao Si threw the phone away, then turned around, and saw that Qi Xiayang had been waiting for a few minutes for a photo. He couldn't say what he refused at first, so he leaned forward slightly, and took a photo with her in this posture.
Qi Xiayang was very happy. After the filming, she held her mobile phone and said happily: "I have to poke myself when I go back."
"Put too much mustard, be careful of choking." Shao Si refilled the empty glass at her hand, seeing that she had been fiddling with her mobile phone, she must have almost eaten, and then brought the topic to the point, "You guys write something , you must be quite tired, why did you think of writing a novel?"
Qi Xiayang put down her phone, not forgetting Qi Ming's advice, she picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying: "When I was in school, I was so bored, so I just wrote and wrote. I didn't think much about it at the time, but I really like you , you are the number one male in my heart."
"thanks."
The corners of Shao Si's eyes curled up, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He changed the subject and said, "Did you really write this story yourself?"
Qi Xiayang's expression froze: "What do you mean...?"
"Don't be nervous, I just saw some not-so-good comments on the Internet." Shao Si said, and put a piece of fruit into her bowl with his serving chopsticks, "After understanding, the situation doesn't seem to be in your favor."
Shao Si first had a good meal with her for half an hour, and because he is Qi Ming's upcoming male lead role, Qi Xiayang already regarded him as one of his own, so she hurriedly said: "You don't have to care about those comments , They are all fabricated out of nothing, and they have been slandering me since I became popular."
In the past half an hour, Shao Si had intentionally or unintentionally drunk her a lot of alcohol, and now the alcohol was gradually coming up, and the layers of camouflage that Qi Xiayang had wrapped around himself were slowly falling off. Her tone of voice began to rise: "I just borrowed... Yes, I read hers, so what, she wrote it first, and others can't write it anymore? Why. Every word I say is my own. This is what I have worked so hard to figure out.”
Shao Si squeezed the recording pen in his hand.
It is estimated that Qi Xiayang has been under a lot of pressure in the past two years. She said a lot like expressing and venting her anger.
She really didn't think that stripping off the coat of other people's stories, and then sewing a new coat on herself, was considered stealing. In other words, she has been deceiving herself and others for too long, and she has deceived herself.
She acquitted herself as God.
"Miss Qi, I wonder if you have heard the story of the dove occupying the magpie's nest."
Shao Si turned off the switch of the recording pen and stood up. From his angle, he could clearly see Qi Xiayang's rising and falling chest, red eyes, and even a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose. He looked at her seriously , said mercilessly: "Wei Que has a nest; Wei Jiu lives in it. I don't know how to accept this drama. I never thought about accepting it from the beginning to the end. I hope you can do it yourself."
"Netizens are not as stupid as you think. No matter how rampant the trolls are, no matter how they turn right and wrong into black and white, anyone with eyes can see it."
Ever since Qi Xiayang expressed his attitude, Shao Si knew that there was no need to follow up on this matter.
The key is not him, but how the audience perceives it.
He insisted on seeing Qi Xiayang, but it was actually a little bit of luck—maybe she knew she was wrong, and maybe it wasn't irreparable when this matter got to where it is today.
As soon as Qi Ming received Qi Xiayang's call, he hurried over, but Shao Si didn't leave. He sat with his legs crossed and waited for him, with his mobile phone on his lap, chatting with Gu Yanzhou on WeChat one after another.
[Gu Yanzhou]: Where's your silly elder sister
[Your father Shao]: Drunk.
[Gu Yanzhou]: According to your drinking capacity, you can still type on your mobile phone now.
[Your Father Shao]:...
[Gu Yanzhou]: Looks like she didn't drink, she's pretty good.
Be good. Be good.
Shao Si curled his lips, did this person chat with him more and more recklessly
When he was about to reply, Qi Ming slammed his briefcase on the table and asked him sharply, "What do you mean?"
What Shao Si said about "unemployment" to Gu Yanzhou before was just a joke.
He had imagined the scene of tearing faces with Qi Ming, taking all kinds of factors into consideration, but he never thought that Qi Ming's methods were far more sinister than he imagined.
"Have you played with me these two days?" Qi Ming, who is so smart, could tell something was wrong within a few minutes, and when he contacted all the previous things, he was even more furious.
He walked back and forth in the private room twice, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a smirk: "You didn't plan to pick it up at the beginning, did you? Did you plan to mess with me directly?"
Shao Si put down his legs, stood in front of him, and said frankly: "Yes. I can't kill you this time, my surname is not Shao."
[…] The system was silent twice, and reminded, [Hey, be careful, don't be too arrogant. ]
