"Don't go to such trouble." Cheng Xi said.
"You don't even look at how haggard you are."
Fang Qiu complained.
...
At noon the next day, Tao Mufan came to the studio carrying an insulated lunch box.
"How are you studying the course now?" Cheng Xi asked casually.
"It's quite simple." Tao Mufan suddenly said with embarrassment, "I heard from my teacher that e-commerce operations are very profitable now. I thought before that you deliberately asked me to take some classes to kill time, but I didn't expect that. Your intentions are very profound."
Cheng Xi: "..."
She did do it on purpose to let him pass the time.
But seeing the grateful look on the face of the young man in front of him, Cheng Xi said without blushing, "I just want to learn some knowledge on my own, which is the most profitable thing."
Tao Mufan nodded, "Grandma said before that you were unreliable and cunning, and told me to be careful, but grandma still doesn't understand you."
"Your grandma said that about me?" Cheng Xi raised an eyebrow.
Tao Mufan scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "She..."
"Forget it, you don't need to say it. I have no feelings for her. She has always favored boys over girls since she was a child. Even if we met her on the street, I wouldn't necessarily call her." Cheng Xi interrupted him impatiently.
At this time, Xu Xiao knocked on the door and came in, "The producer of "The Favor" asked us to have dinner tonight and talk about the costume design. I agreed."
Cheng Xi nodded.
Xu Xiao didn't leave, but looked at Tao Mufan: "Do you know how to drink?"
Tao Mufan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously patted his chest, "I have a good drinking capacity. When I was in high school, it was easy to drink more than ten bottles with my friends."
"Very good." Xu Xiao became satisfied, "Let's have dinner with us tonight. We two young girls are eating with a bunch of men, and our drinking capacity is not good. It feels more comfortable to have a man here."
Cheng Xi understood almost instantly, because she remembered that the producer of "Sheng Chong" was a drunkard, and she and Xu Xiao might not be able to live together.
She immediately said, "If this order is won, I will give you a commission of two thousand yuan."
"Two thousand?" Tao Mufan's eyes widened. Since he was eighteen years old, his parents have often scolded him for being useless. He has never made any real money on his own.
"Okay." He nodded quickly, "I'm sure I can drink."
Cheng Xi and Xu Xiao looked at each other and said, "Do you have any more formal clothes? Go back and change into one to look more mature. Come over at five o'clock in the afternoon."
"No problem." Tao Mufan was in high spirits when he left.
Xu Xiao chuckled and said, "I'm smart, I know how to make the best use of everything."
"Fortunately, you reminded me that most of the people in our company are women. It is a bit inconvenient for women to go out to socialize, especially there are many old perverts and ghosts in the film and television industry." Cheng Xi sighed.
Xu Xiao looked at her meaningfully, "You have been lackluster and absent-minded recently. Pei Yanzhou didn't even come to see you or send flowers. Did you really break up?"
"Probably." Cheng Xi's pretty face froze.
Xu Xiao observed her expression, "It's okay. If the old one doesn't go away and the new one doesn't come, it means that he is not worth your attention at all."
