Li Zhibai originally wanted to help, but after breaking a bowl, he realized the fact that "in the kitchen, not helping is the greatest help", so he picked up the broken pieces and dragged Qin Zhibai away.
"Don't stand there like an idiot. You're being punished."
Qin Zhibai was dragged away by Li Zhibai.
The others watched this scene and laughed.
Qin Zhibai was still struggling: "I can help a little."
Li Zhibai: "How can you help?"
Qin Zhibai thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with an idea.
Li Zhibai: "People should know their own limitations. If you know you don't have the ability, then don't cause trouble for others."
Qin Zhibai obviously wanted to refute Li Zhibai, but he didn't know how to refute. He opened his mouth, but stopped himself from speaking.
-
Li Zhenzhen and Chen Biqiu were eating lunch boxes and watching the images on the screen.
The two of them occupied a table, eating and chatting.
"The interaction between Li Zhibai and Qin Zhibai is also quite interesting," Li Zhenzhen said. "Li Zhibai is indeed very suitable for variety shows. His reactions and effects are much better than others."
Chen Biqiu said, "What do you think? He's popular for a reason. Is there anyone else like him in the industry?"
Li Zhenzhen thought about it and shook her head. "It's true. Those who have richer families than him aren't as open-minded as him. Those who are more open-minded than him don't have his arrogant confidence. Those who are more famous than him don't have his unruly and unrestrained air of not taking himself seriously."
Chen Biqiu: "Any show needs someone like this."
"Um."
"What did Meng Li say? No reply yet?"
"No." Li Zhenzhen shook her head. "Anyway, I've said everything I need to say. If she comes back, I'll certainly welcome her. If not, then we'll find someone else. I now feel that her absence is even better than her presence. Without her, the atmosphere is much more harmonious. I really hate filming content that involves quarrels."
Chen Biqiu smiled and said, "No matter what the content is, as long as it happens normally, we will be responsible for recording it. Don't put your own likes and dislikes into it."
"Hey, Mengli is back!" someone suddenly said.
The others immediately looked at the screen.
Li Zhenzhen was also looking, and then found Meng Li walking in at the camera position at the door.
"Is Mengli coming back to continue recording?" Mengli's PD asked in surprise.
"It seems so." Li Zhenzhen smiled softly, "It seems she chose to stay in the end."
Chen Biqiu said, "If she just left like this, she would be really stupid."
"If she stays, she won't be in a good situation either."
"That may not be the case. This little girl's acting skills are very good. As long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed." Chen Biqiu said.
-
As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Many people know this principle, but not everyone can use it well.
This is the truth. Knowing it doesn’t mean you can actually do it.
However, this is no problem for Mengli.
At least in the eyes of Lu Yanhe and the others, Meng Li was perfectly fine. When Meng Li came in, no one had noticed her yet. It was Li Zhibai, who was sitting on the sofa playing games with Qin Zhibai, who saw her first.
After seeing her, Li Zhibai hesitated for about a second. Before he could figure out what to do, Meng Li suddenly walked towards him.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Li Zhibai's mind, wondering what Meng Li was here for.
What he never expected was that Meng Li walked up to him, smiled, and said, "Li Zhibai, let's make peace."
At this moment, Qin Zhibai suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Meng Li who suddenly appeared in astonishment, and then looked at Li Zhibai.
His face was filled with various emotions such as surprise and disbelief.
Qin Zhibai is not a person with exaggerated expressions. Most of the time, he has a blank expression.
Therefore, when these emotions appear on his face, the feeling it gives everyone is even more different.
Li Zhibai has already reacted.
He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, then stood up, nodded, and said, "No problem, it's just a small matter."
Meng Li sighed, "I've been so tired these past few days, and I'm in a bad mood. I get angry easily. Sorry."
Li Zhibai: "I have a bad temper too, it's okay."
Under the capture of dozens of cameras, the two people's eyes reconciled without any warning.
-
Everyone at the scene was trying hard to control their expressions.
At this moment, the biggest test is not the acting skills of Li Zhibai and Meng Li, but the acting skills of others.
This is especially true for Lu Yanhe and Yan Liang.
Lu Yanhe didn't believe at all that Li Zhibai and Meng Li had really reconciled.
However, Lu Yanhe couldn't figure out what had happened that made someone like Li Zhibai suddenly want to act.
Based on Lu Yanhe's understanding of Li Zhibai, Lu Yanhe thought that Li Zhibai would rather not record this program than compromise with Meng Li.
Could it be that Zhou Ping'an coerced and bribed him?
That's impossible.
Li Zhibai doesn't buy Zhou Ping'an's tricks at all.
Lu Yanhe was puzzled, but the show was being filmed and he couldn't rush to Li Zhibai to ask what was going on.
He and Yan Liang looked at each other and had no choice but to continue recording.
-
Zhou Ping'an's work is not over yet.
After resolving the issue with Li Zhibai, Zhou Ping'an drove all the way to the airport to pick up Ma Zhiyuan who had just returned.
Ma Zhiyuan had an assistant and a driver, but Zhou Pingan still came over because he had an important task that he had to tell Ma Zhiyuan in person.
Night fell all around.
Zhou Ping'an looked at the time and saw that Ma Zhiyuan would not land for another twenty minutes, so he sat in the car and waited.
Vice President Ma suddenly called.
"Hello, Mr. Ma?" Zhou Ping'an answered the phone immediately, feeling a little surprised. He didn't know why Vice President Ma called so late.
Vice President Ma said, "I heard that Li Zhibai was recording a program today and got into a fight with Meng Li?"
"Oh, you heard about it already? I just finished dealing with this matter." Zhou Pingan was puzzled. He didn't know why Vice President Ma was so well-informed and heard about this so quickly. He explained, "The matter has been resolved. There was originally a small conflict between the two of them. Li Zhibai was threatening to quit the show, and I just calmed him down."
Vice President Ma said, "You should also keep a close eye on Li Zhibai and make sure he doesn't suffer any loss."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, I understand." Zhou Ping'an said, "I won't let him suffer any loss."
Zhou Ping'an thought that Vice President Ma just came to show concern for Li Zhibai.
He couldn't help but grumble in his heart that having a wealthy background meant one could enjoy better treatment. When had Vice President Ma ever cared whether other artists suffered any loss?
Vice President Ma suddenly changed the subject and said, "Chen Ziyan was there today, too. Did you know that?"
"I know. She heard that this matter was related to Lu Yanhe and affected Lu Yanhe. She was afraid that Lu Yanhe would suffer, so she insisted on following him."
"You are not well-informed and have been kept in the dark. You still don't know anything about it." Vice President Ma's words made Zhou Ping'an frown in confusion.
Zhou Pingan asked: "Boss Ma, what information did I miss?"
"Chen Ziyan went to the program team to offer sponsorship. Lu Yanhe got an endorsement. The brand is very generous and offered a generous endorsement fee. They were also willing to support Lu Yanhe. They heard that Lu Yanhe had recorded a program, so they went to sponsor the program." Vice President Ma chuckled. "Chen Ziyan is quite capable. With this sponsorship, won't Lu Yanhe become a golden boy for the program team?"
Zhou Pingan showed a look of surprise, "What?"
Vice President Ma: "Are you dumbfounded? Even though Li Zhibai is the most popular artist on the show right now, Lu Yanhe might just overtake him. The money's already been paid, so why would the production team edit Lu Yanhe in a negative light? They're not offending Lu Yanhe, they're offending their God of Wealth."
Zhou Ping'an suddenly realized why Vice President Ma called him tonight.
"Mr. Ma, should we contact Li Zhibai's parents? Should we ask them to get an implant as well?"
"Why bother looking for his parents? Doesn't Li Zhibai have a brand endorsement willing to do this?" Vice President Ma said, "He's so popular now, it's a no-brainer. Why bother going to all that trouble to find his parents? It's not like there aren't other people paying for it."
Zhou Pingan: "Yes, yes, I understand."
"Whether it's Li Zhibai or Lu Yanhe, they're both artists in our company. But I know very well who's an outsider and who's an insider, so don't let your guard down," Vice President Ma said. "He's only nineteen years old, but Chen Ziyan is behind him. She easily and effortlessly gave Lu Yanhe a golden statue in the program crew, and you haven't heard anything yet. I don't know what you've been busy doing."
Zhou Ping'an was speechless and wanted to vomit blood.
What is he busy about?
He gets up early and goes to bed late every day, managing artists, dealing with business, discussing cooperation, discussing projects, meeting with platforms, and keeping an eye on the news. What is there that he doesn't take care of?
You just sit in the office every day anyway, and never have to deal with these things on the front line, so it's easy for you to talk without any worries!
"I will definitely improve." Zhou Ping'an said with a smile on the phone.
-
House for young people.
We had dinner together, washed the dishes, and sat in the living room to play games.
Playing games is the easiest way to get to know each other.
Peng Zhixing said, "How about we play some turtle soup first?"
"Okay." Xiao Yun's eyes lit up and he said immediately.
Lu Yanhe was a little confused and asked, "What is turtle soup?"
"It's a very simple game." Xiao Yun explained it to everyone enthusiastically. "To put it simply, we're given a riddle, and we guess the answer based on it. We can keep asking questions, and the host can only answer yes or no. Then we use these clues to find the answer to the riddle."
After listening to this, Lu Yanhe was somewhat surprised. "Oh, sure, but I've never played it before, so I'm sure I'll be terrible at it."
"You scored over 600 on the college entrance exam and have a high IQ, so how could you possibly be bad at gaming?" Song Linxin said immediately, "You'll know once you try it."
Peng Zhixing took out his phone and said, "Then let me ask the questions. I'll be the host and you guys guess."
"Okay." Everyone nodded.
At this time, Lian Mengli also looked like he was seriously participating.
Peng Zhixing searched on his phone and read out the first question: "I'm a kindergarten teacher. There's a little boy in my kindergarten who's five years old. But one day he told me his mother was only four. I found it strange, so I went with him to visit his home. What I saw when I got there shocked me."
Lu Yanhe looked confused. "Ah? What do you mean?"
"I need you to solve the mystery. What is the truth behind this matter?" Peng Zhixing said, "You can ask questions, but only in negative or positive terms. I can only answer yes or no, and anything irrelevant to the question."
Xiao Yun was the first to actively raise his hand and asked, "Is the kindergarten a real kindergarten?"
"Yes." Peng Zhixing nodded.
Song Linxin asked: "Is mom the little boy's real mom?"
"No." Peng Zhixing shook his head.
"That could be a stepmother?" Song Linxin was stunned. "Is the mother the little boy's stepmother?"
Peng Zhixing hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes or no, it has nothing to do with the question."
Several people fell into deep thought.
Xiao Yun immediately followed up Song Linxin's question with a question: "Does the little boy have any mental illness?"
"No." Peng Zhixing continued to shake his head.
Li Zhibai frowned and asked, "Is your question really correct? Since the little boy doesn't have a mental illness, how could he think his mother was only four years old? Wait, does he have a misunderstanding about the concept of age?"
Peng Zhixing hissed and said, "No, but I'll give you a small hint. Ask this question from a different angle. It's crucial."
Li Zhibai looked confused.
Yan Liang looked at Peng Zhixing in confusion and said, "Does he have a misunderstanding of the concept of age? The answer is no, which means the little boy is not confused about age. But when he said his mother was only four years old, did he really mean that she was only four years old? Definitely not."
He was suddenly stunned. "His mother is only four years old. Does four years old refer to age?"
"Yes, it's not about age." Peng Zhixing laughed.
"Ah? What does that mean?" Xiao Yun was stunned.
Almost everyone looked confused and puzzled.
Just now Song Linxin asked his mother
A terrifying thought suddenly occurred to Lu Yanhe, and he asked, "Four years old, does that mean the little boy has only known his mother for four years?"
Peng Zhixing nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yanhe looked at Peng Zhixing in shock. "Was his mother kidnapped or bought by his father?"
Peng Zhixing nodded again: "Yes."
"Ah—" Song Linxin and Xiao Yun screamed at the same time and hugged each other. Xiao Yun's face showed fear, "This is too scary!"
"Have we figured out the answer?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Peng Zhixing shook his head: "There are still several puzzles that have not been guessed."
Yan Liang said, "The shocking scene I saw at home, was it the sight of the little boy's mother chained inside the house?"
The horror on Song Linxin and Xiao Yun's faces became even more intense.
Peng Zhixing nodded, "Yes, but not complete."
Qin Zhibai: "I was shocked because the little boy's father was planning to kidnap the teacher. I'm a woman, the kindergarten teacher. He was planning to kidnap me, wasn't he?"
Peng Zhixing nodded, "Yes, but it's still incomplete."
A group of people looked at each other.
Meng Li sat in the corner without saying a word, and the two girls hugged each other, their faces pale.
They looked as if they were genuinely frightened.
"Let me remind you again, every sentence and every piece of information in the riddle is useful," said Peng Zhixing.
After hearing what Peng Zhixing said, Lu Yanhe recalled the riddle again.
——I am a kindergarten teacher. There is a little boy in my kindergarten who is five years old. But one day he told me that his mother was only four years old. I thought it was very strange, so I followed him to his home for a home visit. The scene I saw when I arrived at his home shocked me.
The kindergarten teacher and the mother of a four-year-old child, I went to visit their home and was shocked... All this information has been cracked, there is no information that has not been cracked.
etc--
——A little boy in my kindergarten is five years old.
Lu Yanhe was stunned, a chill running down his spine. He asked, "Little boy, are you really five years old?"
Peng Zhixing gave a knowing smile, "No."
Lu Yanhe felt so uneasy that he couldn't even sit still.
"The little boy is a dwarf. He's actually an adult. He and his father aren't really father and son, but partners in kidnapping women, right?" Lu Yanhe asked. (End of this chapter)
