Chapter 21: 《jian Ni》 “family” Assembles
Old dick.
Yang Zi slanted a glance at the sarcastic Chi Ye, his old face very displeased.
Then he looked at the assistant not far away who had already covered his face with both hands, anxious and uneasy.
Humph, what do you know.
You really think I don’t know this is a black joke?
What I want is this traffic!
What level is Huang Jianfeng at? If there’s no black traffic, does he even deserve me calling myself a “fan”?
Teacher Huang had no idea what calculations Yang Zi was making in his mind at that moment. He only felt that just after moving into the Jian Ni small dwelling, he had been thoroughly disgusted by this old and young pair.
He gritted his teeth inwardly, planning to make an extra dish for these two later and take their dog lives!
He clasped his hands behind his back, frowning, and nodded: “Fans good, fans eat more.”
Yang Zi: “?”
Chi Ye: “?”
“I’m quitting fandom right now!”
Yang Zi: “…”
He wasn’t as “heartless” as Chi Ye. He coughed lightly twice, ignoring the sentence: “Teacher Huang, shall we go inside first?”
Teacher Huang nodded faintly, maintaining Senior Lao’s demeanor, and turned to prepare to enter the house first.
Hmm…
Suddenly, he saw Jin Xia and Shi Daifu following right behind Chi Ye.
Mainly Jin Xia.
Teacher Huang’s heart stirred. His originally expressionless face immediately broke into a kind smile, and he walked over quickly: “Little Jin Xia, don’t you recognize me anymore?”
“Hmm?”
Jin Xia, who was secretly observing on this side, was stunned. Seeing Teacher Huang talking to her, she was a bit surprised and asked in a coquettish voice: “Hello Teacher Huang… do you, you know me?”
“Tch.” Teacher Huang clapped his hands, pretending to be dissatisfied: “Have you forgotten? I even held you when you were little!”
“Ah…?” Jin Xia was even more confused, her big peach blossom eyes full of doubt: “Held me?”
“Is your great uncle’s health still good now?”
Teacher Huang familiarly pulled closer: “We shot a movie together back then, that Loess under the high mountains. He was the producer, and I was the lead actor.”
“You were little then, following him around. I even bought you candy, you forgot?”
Jin Xia thought carefully, suddenly realizing: “Oh… so that’s how it is…”
“Hmm…” She paused, having spent too much time with Chi Ye, couldn’t hold back and asked: “But… but I think… I couldn’t eat candy when I was little…”
“Right.” Teacher Huang calmly said: “So I bought it for you, but you didn’t take it.”
Everyone: “…”
「It started, seeing others say they don’t know him, fiercely praising Jin Xia.」
「Normal, he’s always like this, and drama queen is top streamer, family has background, everyone knows.」
「《Jian Ni》, your Teacher Huang has arrived!」
「Yang Zi and Hu Ye laughing to death, why ship them?」
「This is more outrageous than doing drugs.」
「……」
Bullet comments kuku increased due to Teacher Huang’s sudden enthusiasm. Chi Ye watched in astonishment.
Yang Zi was even more dumbfounded, gritting his teeth inwardly.
What’s up with Teacher Huang? Where’s the promised senior demeanor? He was so high and mighty facing us earlier, but now seeing Jin Xia, he’s licking like an old eunuch.
What does that mean? Looking down on people?
Also, why didn’t I think of this way to build rapport!
Yang Zi inwardly resented it. Over there, Teacher Huang had already “successfully recognized kin” with Jin Xia.
“Don’t call me teacher. Others call teacher out of politeness. You should call me uncle!”
Jin Xia: “……Okay, Uncle Teacher Huang.”
Teacher Huang “indulgently”: “You little girl, you’ve grown up now.”
“I’ve watched a few of your dramas, shot well, very popular. Heard you got a TV Empress nomination?”
“Hmm…”
“Not bad not bad.” Teacher Huang encouraged: “Among the young generation now, your development is really good…”
Everyone: “…”
The group entered the house, and the three new guests went to place their luggage first.
Yang Zi seized the opportunity and curiously asked Jin Xia: “Xia Xia, is your family very familiar with Teacher Huang?”
Jin Xia shook her head: “Not sure.”
Yang Zi: “…”
Seeing he couldn’t get anything out of her, he signaled Chi Ye with his eyes.
Chi Ye gave him a blank look: “Does their relationship need to be told to you? Did your Penguin general manager eat a salted egg?”
“Ah? What does that mean?”
“Salted Egg Teng.”
Yang Zi: “…”
Damn it, if you don’t want to say, don’t. Why snap at me?
Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes glanced at Chi Ye, she pouted, lowered her voice and said coquettishly: “Teacher Chi, I’m not close to him!”
Chi Ye: “?”
“Why tell me this? Even if you’re close, I still won’t eat it.”
Jin Xia hummed and hawed: “I’m not afraid you’d be sad, Teacher Chi.”
“Sad about what.” Chi Ye sincerely: “Just thinking about the days ahead, getting closer to death, I’m thrilled.”
Jin Xia slightly dissatisfied: “Teacher Chi, with me here, you won’t ‘die’!”
Yang Zi: “…”
How about I die first to liven things up for you two?
Don’t treat people so differently!
Click.
The room door on the second floor opened, and voices of Teacher Huang, Teacher Lu and others discussing came through.
“The environment feels pretty good.”
“Yeah, look at this layout…”
“I’ll check the kitchen.”
Chi Ye shook his head repeatedly upon hearing, signaling Yang Zi: “See, they’re already scouting the crime scene.”
Yang Zi: “……Say less.”
“Hey, we brought some gifts for everyone.”
Teacher Huang’s group had come downstairs. Teacher Lu smiled warmly: “To apologize for our ‘one day late’ arrival, see if there’s anything you like.”
With that, he placed the packaging bag on the sofa. Jin Xia exclaimed in surprise “Wow.”
The group crowded over. Teacher Huang waved his hand on the side: “Not much stuff, but I heard this program doesn’t allow bringing your own ingredients…”
He sneaked a smile: “I told a little lie at the check-up, brought some beef, haha, I’ll make braised beef for lunch!”
Everyone felt a chill in their stomachs upon hearing.
Chi Ye: “Must we die? Can’t wait one more day?”
His voice wasn’t concealed. Teacher Huang nearby heard, glanced at him, then suddenly smiled: “Actually I know what you young people hate now… just kidding, the beef is already cooked, just heat it up to eat. Not made by me, everyone eat with ease.”
Everyone was instantly stunned upon hearing, then wild with joy.
Teacher Huang paused, looked at Chi Ye: “No for Chi Ye, I’ll make his portion myself.”
Chi Ye: “?”
“Hahaha.”
Everyone couldn’t hold it in.
“Teacher Huang, is this beef raw?”
Jin Xia had somehow gotten to the side, pointing at the beef Teacher Huang put down.
“Oh.” Teacher Huang nodded kindly: “Didn’t I just say, I was joking.”
Ironclad, I love telling little lies.
Everyone: “…”
Instantly faces turned ashen again.
“Hahaha.”
Teacher Huang seemed to really enjoy everyone’s extreme reversal expressions, observing was fun, inwardly delighted.
Coming to this program is for whitewashing, what’s wrong with playing my own jokes?
“If the King of Hell wants you dead at 3am, who can let you cool at 1am? Don’t struggle, audience cherish the current program. In a few days, the program team’s guests will probably all turn into ghosts.”
Chi Ye rubbed his wrist, wondering if he should get some insurance for himself.
Over here, Teacher Huang, Teacher Lu and others had already handed out the gifts to everyone.
Chi Ye received a gift from Lin Jingyi — 《Huang Xiao Chu Autobiography》.
Looking at Teacher Huang pouting and acting cute on the cover, Chi Ye felt like he got a timeless martial arts manual, and carefully put it away.
“Don’t you not know how to cook? Interested in cooking skills?”
Yang Zi beside him was surprised.
As for why he was still by Chi Ye’s side…
No choice.
With Huang, Lu, Lin arriving, the originally somewhat “joyful” Jian Ni small dwelling atmosphere changed flavor.
Not intentional, but in the entertainment industry, star power and stepping down to lift up can’t be escaped anywhere.
Look at the previous four guests of the Jian Ni small dwelling.
No need to mention Chi Ye, pure madman. Jin Xia privately has huge contrast with her image, Empress Dowager should be Little Buddha Lady, sometimes like a young girl, not many schemes… okay, just dumb, “down-to-earth”.
The remaining Shi Daifu and Yang Zi, one banned and withdrawn no star power, the other wants to stir things but the other three ignore him.
Originally, Yang Zi thought after Teacher Huang and others arrived, his situation would improve.
But seeing now Teacher Huang’s group surrounding Jin Xia chatting and interacting, his heart cooled.
— No one here treats him as a person at all!
“What cooking skills, what are you talking about?”
Over here, Chi Ye didn’t have as many thoughts as Yang Zi.
Just seeing Jin Xia surrounded by the crowd, feeling the Empress Dowager became much more composed facing Huang Lin and others, returning to being one of the four little flowers, 95 TOP top streamer flower’s identity.
A bit like attending business activities, work mode feeling.
“Isn’t it written here?” Yang Zi surprised: “《Huang Xiao Chu Autobiography》.”
Chi Ye stunned: “You mean this 《Poison King Record》?”
Yang Zi: “…”
6, compared to the program, I’m still slightly inferior to you!
“You watch them bicker first, I’m going to make a phone call.”
Chi Ye saw it was free time, greeted Director Li of the program team, walked out of the small dwelling, preparing to call Keke and the company to learn about the Circulation project.
……
Meanwhile.
Inside the house.
Jin Xia didn’t expect the new guests to be so “enthusiastic”.
The gift she received was completely different from Chi Ye’s, much more precious.
But no matter how precious, in her eyes it was all the same.
At this moment, she blinked her peach blossom eyes, staring seriously and inquisitively at Lin Jingyi.
“Teacher Jin Xia… you… is there something on my face?”
Lin Jingyi, under Teacher Huang’s introduction, wanted to connect with Jin Xia, at least get familiar.
One of the four little flowers, currently the hottest four little flowers in internal entertainment circle. Though Jin Xia always at the end of four little ranking, poor reputation, but doesn’t hinder her star power and backing energy.
Speaking of it, her “drama queen” persona since debut was inspired by Jin Xia.
Idol!
“Hmm…” Jin Xia looked for a long time, still no spicy strips found, slightly disappointed, muttered: “Why did Teacher Chi lie to me…”
“I thought someone would really hang spicy strips on their body…”
“What?” Lin Jingyi dumbfounded.
“Oh, nothing.” Jin Xia came back to senses, boredly waving her little hand: “I know you, acting is great, keep it up.”
“Really?” Lin Jingyi’s cheeks glowed, full of tech sense.
“Hey!” Jin Xia startled, discovered new continent: “What’s up with your face?”
“Ah?” Lin Jingyi stunned, but didn’t dare get angry, seeing camera nearby, could only use “code”: “Recently… renovated the nose a bit.”
Jin Xia: “…”
Such advanced vocabulary.
“Xia Xia.” Over here, Teacher Lu also warmly indicated: “Jingyi is great, fan of yours before debut. This time hearing can participate program with you, thrilled.”
“Oh…”
“We should hang out more in future. After last drama, no chance to cooperate.”
Teacher Lu was equally close to Jin Xia.
Unlike Teacher Huang, he rarely offends people. For someone with Jin Xia’s star power + background, main to befriend.
“We’re all in the same circle, get closer more in future.”
“Why wait for future.” Teacher Huang came over after washing hands, waved big hand: “Can’t go out eat today? I’ll discuss with program team, us guests need to get familiar first, bond emotions.”
“That sounds good.” Teacher Lu nodded repeatedly.
“Go out eat…” Jin Xia’s peach blossom eyes lit up slightly.
Go out eat means… chance to sneak out buy stuff?
“Great great.” Jin Xia thought of this, immediately agreed repeatedly, then poked her little head looking: “Teacher Chi? Teacher Chi! We’re going out eat today, get ready!”
Everyone stunned.
Teacher Chi…
Calling so intimately…
Teacher Huang thought, assistant seemed to mention yesterday Jian Ni opening day live broadcast effect was good…
“Chi Ye…”
“Teacher Jin Xia, you’re very familiar with him?” Lin Jingyi almost hated Chi Ye to death. Seeing Jin Xia like this, glanced at Director Li turning off the camera for their “catch-up socializing”, couldn’t hold back: “He’s no good, I heard before…”
“Who are you?”
Jin Xia dissatisfiedly swept her a glance: “Do I not know if Teacher Chi is good?”
Lin Jingyi: “…”
“Teacher Huang, Teacher Lu, I’ll go tell Teacher Chi.”
Jin Xia ignored Lin Jingyi further.
The Empress Dowager Chi Ye usually saw was always the sillier, dumber side.
In reality, Jin Xia in the industry was famously “not to be messed with”, big star power, drama queen personality, when making a fuss, except those who know her well, few dare provoke.
Otherwise, where do those black fans come from?
“……Okay, go ahead.”
Teacher Huang paused, nodded: “I’ll go discuss with director.”
“Mm!”
Jin Xia agreed, then excitedly ran outside the courtyard: “Teacher Chi Teacher Chi…”
“?”
Chi Ye was still on the phone: “Is that so? Alright… okay, help me schedule with director… mm… I want to meet director… you communicate with company side, okay… then I’ll ask program team for leave… alright, that’s it for now.”
He saw Jin Xia running over excitedly, surprised: “What’s up, so happy? Teacher Huang said no lunch of his cooking for you?”
Jin Xia: “…”
“Teacher Chi, you offended quite a few people. Someone just badmouthed you, but I didn’t listen!”
Jin Xia first smugly showed off, then mysteriously said: “Teacher Huang said he’ll try to let us go out eat lunch today!”
“Go out eat? He won’t cook himself?”
Chi Ye didn’t care about “offending people”, overjoyed: “That’s really worth celebrating!”
“One more day alive!”
