"What gift for returning home?" Lu Qingye looked back, with doubts in his deep eyes.
Even though he often travels on business and has been to many countries, he has never prepared for this.
He didn't know what it was like for other people to go on a business trip. Maybe some of them had the mentality of just stopping by for fun, but Lu Qingye was really working. He bought a ticket and went back after finishing his work, without thinking about anything else.
"Aren't you going to bring a gift for your wife? You have been working for more than a month during the wedding period. You have left your wife behind for so long. She didn't say anything on the surface, but she must have cared about it..."
The assistant's voice became softer and softer, worried that Lu Qingye would be upset if he talked too much.
"..." Perhaps stung by his words, Lu Qingye actually fell into deep thought.
If this was bought for someone else, the assistant could still run errands for Lu Qingye, but the person he wanted to give the gift to was Meng Chuyuan, his wife.
After all, it was the first gift to give to the other party after the wedding. No matter how busy he was, he couldn't be so perfunctory that he didn't even have time to choose a gift.
The assistant felt that he was hesitant, and persuaded him tactfully: "Why don't you go and have a look? If we don't see anything suitable, it's not too late for us to go back."
"Yeah." Lu Qingye didn't know whether he was annoyed by his assistant or had such an idea in his heart. He just agreed when the opportunity came.
Maybe the workload today wasn't that heavy, which made him seem more approachable.
There are many high-end customization shops abroad. Lu Qingye wandered around for a while, still struggling with what to give as a gift.
Suddenly, he walked to the door of a silk scarf shop, which gave him a clueless choice.
After two or three seconds of thinking, Lu Qingye finally walked in with his legs.
He had never been to a women's store like this. The moment he stepped in, his expression became more reserved, and I couldn't say he was nervous. The feeling was really indescribable.
When he saw a customer coming in, a foreign woman came towards him from the tailoring area.
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw that he had extraordinary temperament and was a man who coexisted with masculinity and gentleness.
Men rarely come to silk scarves stores, and usually they come with their female companions, while Lu Qingye works alone, with an assistant waiting in the blind spot at the entrance of the store.
The woman's facial expression was still full of surprise, and she spoke in authentic American English: "Sir, do you want to buy a scarf for your girlfriend?"
Lu Qingye said elegantly: "I bought it for my wife."
When she heard Lu Qingye's response, her expression became richer, but in an instant, she quickly got into the mood again, enthusiastically and seriously introducing their silk scarves to Lu Qingye.
After more than ten minutes of conversation, after confirming that he was going to give Meng Chuyuan a customized silk scarf, Lu Qingye suddenly couldn't tell how to prepare it. The material, color and style of the scarf all put him in a dilemma.
Xu Shi saw that he hesitated for too long, and the woman couldn't help but ask: "What are the characteristics of your wife?"
Instantly, the figure of Meng Chuyuan suddenly appeared in Lu Qingye's mind.
He thought about it carefully and said casually: "She has long hair, a small face, good-looking and loves to laugh..."
Lu Qingye didn't know whether these were characteristics or whether they would be helpful for this customization. He probably said everything he could.
The woman listened to his description, recorded the useful things, and at the same time fantasized about what Lu Qingye's wife looked like.
After Lu Qingye realized that he had no words to say, the woman asked again: "What color clothes does your wife usually like to wear?"
He and Meng Chuyuan didn't meet many times before their marriage. In his impression, she seemed to wear anything. It was difficult to define this.
Unlike him, who wears suits and ties every day.
Lu Qingye was silent for a while. He suddenly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the photo album.
"Let me show you the photo." Fortunately, Lu Qianling sent him a photo last time, and it came in handy at this time.
He turned out the photo, pointed at Meng Chuyuan and said, "This is my wife."
"Your wife is very beautiful." The woman carefully observed Meng Chuyuan's dressing style, and then recorded it, "Okay, you can pick it up in the store in about ten days."
Lu Qingye said gently: "Thank you."
After completing the order, Lu Qingye finally came out of the store.
The assistant stood outside the door shivering, hiding his hands in his sleeves, his neck tucked into his collar, and jumping up and down at the door of the store.
Seeing Lu Qingye coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Did Mr. Lu buy a gift for your wife?"
He looked at Lu Qingye expectantly. People who didn't know it would think that this gift was bought for him.
Lu Qingye gave him a cold look, and said in a cold voice: "Assistant Yang, you are a bit noisy today."
"..."
——
In the afternoon, the program team did not carry out any projects. They also gave everyone two hundred yuan and asked them to go to the town to play and come back to gather when the time came.
After the funds were distributed, the director held up a small loudspeaker and said to everyone seriously: "Everyone can spend the funds as they wish, wherever they go. We will come back here to gather before five o'clock. Do you understand?"
Tingjiu covered her cheeks in astonishment and almost cried out in excitement: "Someone please pinch me and tell me this is not a dream."
Qi Zhen held the funds given by the director just now and asked a more rigorous question: "Does this fee include our dinner?"
Director: "That's understandable."
They mainly depended on food every day, so they worked hard to complete the task and wanted to eat better. Suddenly there was no task to complete, and they were given two hundred yuan to play. Everyone was confused.
[After suffering for so many days, the program team suddenly gave me a candy. Everyone is still a little used to it, hahaha]
[Xiao Jiujiu is my latest happiness, you are really not dreaming]
[Brother Qi Zhen’s mind is spinning very fast, I haven’t even thought about dinner yet]
[I think with these two hundred dollars, Sister Meng and her trio can do something different]
[The director suddenly has such a thing as conscience, which deserves praise]
Meng Chuyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said in a calm voice: "Two hundred yuan for dinner is enough."
However, she always felt that this activity was not as simple as it seemed, but she could not figure out what the problem was.
Their location was not far from the town. It only took three to five minutes to walk there. They were allowed to go out and move around freely. The program team took this opportunity to edit the video.
In fact, when the director planned this event, he had already planned the whole thing.
Wait for them to come back later to see which group spent how much, and then repay them in proportion.
"Sister Chuyuan, shall we go to the other side to eat beef noodles later?" After each group separated, Tingjiu had already thought about what to eat for dinner.
When they went out shopping after eating hot pot last night, they found a busy shop opposite, selling beef noodles.
Meng Chuyuan glanced at the hopeless man and said with disgust, "It's not even three o'clock in the afternoon, and you're just thinking about eating."
Lu Jinsen: "Where are we going? We can't go back until five o'clock, right?"
"Then let's find something to do."
The afternoon was not as lively as the evening, but there were many tourists visiting the town, and most of them were taking photos with their mobile phones.
Liao Jiake happened to know that a crew was filming nearby, so she wanted to take her sister to see a friend.
"Yan Yan, my friend Xu Huanning is filming here. Would you like to come with me and have a look?"
There is a modern drama being filmed here, and their Reuters photos were posted online before. The heroine and Liao Jiake played college roommates, so she wanted to go over and say hello.
Liao Jiayan said with a bit of resistance: "Your friend, isn't it appropriate for me to go?"
"It's okay. Let's go say hello and leave. It won't take much time."
"..." Because the two could not act separately, Liao Jiayan had no choice but to compromise with her.
When the two came to the set, they were filming.
"Sister Keke, why are you here?" Xu Huanning's assistant recognized Liao Jiake and took the two sisters to the rest area.
Liao Jiake: "I'm recording a show here, and I happened to hear that Huan Ning is here, so I came to see her."
"Then you may have to wait a while. Sister Ning just changed her clothes and came out and is already filming now."
[Does Xu Huanning often play the role of Coco’s best friend? 】
[I know this actress, she is quite good-looking, but her resources are not that good, she always plays the best friend to the heroine]
[The most famous person in the drama is Xu Huanning. I heard that the drama she is currently starring in is the heroine, and she also partners with a relatively popular actor]
Half an hour later, the scene between Xu Huanning and the male protagonist was finally completed.
"Sister Coco, sit down for a while, I'll go see Sister Ning."
Liao Jiake: "Go quickly."
The assistant quickly ran towards her with an umbrella, and then said to Xu Huaning: "Sister Ning, Liao Jiake is here."
Xu Huanning just finished the performance holding hands with the actor. Now she has a smile on her face and is still savoring the remaining warmth in her hands.
Suddenly hearing the assistant say this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and she asked in a low voice: "What is she here for?"
She had two scenes with Liao Jiake, both of which were supporting roles for Liao Jiake. After finally getting married, Xu Huanning felt that her opportunity had come.
This is the first script she has received to play the female lead. It has only been eight episodes, but Liao Jiake appears on their set.
This is not good news for Xu Huanning.
Assistant: "She happened to be recording a show nearby and came over to see you."
Xu Huanning sneered: "You came to see me, or you fell in love with my role."
Outsiders don't know what kind of virtue Liao Jia Ke is, but Xu Huan Ning knows it all too well.
Before she met Liao Jiake, she was still an eighteenth-tier female artist. She didn't sign with any agency, so she had to win all the roles by herself.
There was originally an online drama that had already cast Xu Huanning as the heroine. Just two days before filming started, she received a call from the crew saying that a suitable candidate for the heroine was already available and asked her not to come.
Xu Huanning was young and stubborn at the time. Before the filming started, she chased after the director for a long time. One time, Liao Jiake happened to be nearby. Seeing that she was so keen on filming, she asked the director to arrange a role for her.
In this way, she changed from the number one female to one of Liao Jiake's best friends.
Knowing that Liao Jiake was still broadcasting live, Xu Huanning calmed down her facial expressions and walked over like a spring breeze.
Xu Huanning came to the rest area, saw Liao Jiake and gave her a hug: "Keke, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have lost weight."
Who is not an actor?
It was clear that Liao Jiake had gained several pounds after getting married, but Xu Huanning was still saying polite words here.
When the director of this drama heard that Liao Jiake had come to the scene, he ran directly to the rest area without watching the newly filmed film. He also said that their crew was short of actors and asked if she was interested in making a guest appearance.
"Can I?" Liao Jiake said a little uncertainly: "But I haven't been in the group for a long time, and I'm afraid I won't perform well."
"You are too modest." The director was still fighting for a chance for himself: "But the role is a bit small, so don't dislike it."
[Coco just wanted to come and see an old friend. I never thought I would get the chance to make a cameo hahaha]
[It’s still too modest. The child actors who debuted are all experienced actors, and they still say things like this]
[Two beauties have a threesome, I really love them]
The director also didn't forget to call Xu Huanning: "Huanning, tell her and ask her to stay and help make a cameo."
"..." Xu Huanning almost rolled her eyes.
She was not happy at all. Although she was still the heroine, it was quite unpleasant to have Liao Jiake as a guest star.
Xu Huanning hesitated for a while, and finally said against her will: "Stay, there are many fans of yours here."
On the other side, Meng Chuyuan became a boatman in order to take a boat ride and see the streets of the town.
The man in charge of the boats in this town looked at Meng Chuyuan's small arms and legs with deep doubts in his eyes: "Girl, can you row a boat? This boat needs to be moved with great strength."
"Boss, I can do it." Meng Chuyuan said firmly: "If you don't believe it, let me get on the boat and I will try to row a circle for you."
Not to be outdone, Lu Jinsen stood up and said, "Boss, she can't exert herself, I can take her place."
Seeing her persistence, the boss finally relented.
He took Meng Chuyuan to the docking station, and a boat happened to come back.
After the tourists left the boat, the boss called the boatman ashore and asked Meng Chuyuan to take over.
The new group of tourists quickly bought tickets and boarded the boat. Everyone was stunned when they saw a young woman driving the boat.
Wearing a straw hat on her head, she held the oar in her hand. She suddenly raised her hand and waved, smiling at the tourists on the boat.
Lu Jinsen was acting as a photographer, and Tingjiu was sitting on the side of the boat, waiting to set off.
Meng Chuyuan: "Welcome to this beautiful small town. Leave the rest of your itinerary to me. I will take you to enjoy the scenery and relax."
The tourists on the boat were quite excited to see them in person and took pictures with their mobile phones.
When Meng Chuyuan first turned on the oar, it took a lot of effort to push the water waves away, and the boat began to flow slowly.
After a while, after Meng Chuyuan mastered the boating skills, it finally seemed that it was not so strenuous.
Meng Chuyuan raised her head and saw everyone's eyes falling on her: "Don't look at me, look at the scenery outside."
Suddenly, a woman spoke boldly: "Sister Meng, can you sing a song?"
Meng Chuyuan said: "I have to pay for singing."
