Xingchen Qi was shocked by Qi's father's logic, and was confused until he hung up the phone with his father.

It doesn't matter with Sheng Xu, he is shooting a movie now, he can't leave for a while, how can he run a diamond mine?

And even after "Heart of the Sea" was finished, he didn't want to go to South Africa.

Mine boss sounds good, he a wear book outsider population, familiar with the people are on this side, went to South Africa unfamiliar with life ......

[Dad sent a message]

Xingchen Qi is torn about how to deal with his gift, Qi Dad also thought of this, and told him: [You do not need to worry about the business problems, I have found a suitable supervisor to take care of the past, the future quarterly revenue will be directly to your bank account. I will push the supervisor's WeChat to you, you have work arrangements or want diamonds, you can directly ask him to do it for you.

Xingchen Qi : "......"

In just over a week's time, from visiting South Africa to buying the mine to choosing the right supervisor, we all know with our toes how much Qi's father suffered, how much he was tired and how much he worried.

Xingchen Qi's heart was so soft that she was ready to give her family ten or twenty of the best diamonds she could find, and the biggest one to her father!

After sending a friend request to the overseer's weibo signal and thanking Master Qi, he calmed down a bit and continued to worry about how to coax Ye Bai.

They have been talking a lot lately for Ye Bai's workload.

He sends unsolicited messages most of the time, but if he needs to prepare for a scene one morning or accidentally falls asleep in the car and doesn't hear from him all morning, Ye Bai will ask him around noon.

This seems to have become an agreed rule between them.

However, after he did something stupid last night, Ye Bai ignored him all day today.

Must still be angry.

Ran An did not finish tidying up the room, Xingchen Qi arms folded, lazily lying on the balcony railing, the phone in the screen poking around, and finally typed out three big cheesy words.

Xing Xing : [Sorry.

Xing Xing : [I drank too much last night [cry] [cry]]

After posting, he stared at the screen.

After he set the three-minute auto-lock screen and repeated lock, unlock, lock, and unlock four times, the chat screen finally changed.

Bo: [Hmm.

A single word, a period.

High school reading comprehension is not so difficult, right?

Xingchen Qi thought that as long as the other party replied, their friendship would not be broken.

Now it seems ......

But he felt he could salvage it again, and typed stiffly: [I suspect the restaurant's wine is fake and bad for the brain]

Bo: [Hmm.

Xing Xing :【next time you drink, you have to pay attention】.

Bo: [Hmm.

"......" How to coax this!

Xingchen Qi could not lie down, propped himself up, toes scuffed anxiously on the ground.

With the legs and buttocks also wiggling, from a distance, it looks like a big dog trying to muddle through.

Ye Bai couldn't help but laugh.

After some trial and error, Xingchen Qi found that making excuses did not work, so she decided to correct her attitude and admit her mistake.

Xing Xing : [I promise to be good from now on]

Bo: [How well behaved?

Finally not "um", Xingchen Qi saw a ray of light, quickly promised: [can not leave you alone, you let me do what I do, you let me out of the pool I will come out, absolutely do not bother you to count three]

Ye Bai : "......"

Ye Bai : [Is that all?

So what else?

Xingchen Qi was confused. Wasn't Ye Bai angry with him for being rude and disobedient?

He scuffed his toes faster and said eagerly: [What else do you say, I listen to you]

Absolutely, really absolutely.

Ye Bai helpless: [you come down, my license plate tail number 365]

.

Xingchen Qi froze for a few seconds before figuring out what the other party was talking about.

He peered down and saw Ye Bai's nanny car at the side entrance of the hotel. He immediately stopped rubbing his toes, put his cell phone back in his pocket and stopped looking, braced his hands on the railing, and pushed his upper body out.

The driver was sent home by Ye Bai to rest, and Lun A was driving the car for the past two nights. Through the one-sided glass, Lun A was shocked: "Oh my God, it's dangerous! Xing Xing is not going to fall down, what does he want?"

"Might want to say hello to us." Ye Bai frowned.

The good thing is that the one on the top floor seems to have reacted, so far away to say hello is invisible, jumped back to the balcony and disappeared from view.

Lun A finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and asked, "Eh, boss, have you noticed."

"What?"

" Xing Xing is usually quite smart, as soon as he meets you, he becomes stupid."

Is it? Ye Bai, an imperceptible smile spread across his mouth.

Xingchen Qi ran back to his room, found his small backpack, opened the refrigerator and filled a few bottles of soda, and took two steps to the shoe rack with his long legs.

Ran An saw his unusual behavior and was curious, " Xing Xing , you want to go out?"

Xingchen Qi "hmm" sounded, truthfully said: "Night brother is waiting for me downstairs."

"Oh, be careful, don't get caught on camera. By the way," Ran An said, "do you want to bring the shirt back to him?"

Xingchen Qi put on the shoes of the hand paused, "...... I'll find a chance to do it later, it's not in order to return to people without ironing."

After saying that he quickly ran out and put on his hat mask inside the elevator.

Just push open the side door of the hotel, the nanny car door then opened, he jumped on a step.

Ye Bai looked at his slightly heaving chest and sighed, "Why are you running so fast?"

Xingchen Qi took a seat in the same row as Ye Bai: "I'm in a hurry."

"What's the rush?"

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid," Xingchen Qi gasped, "I'm afraid you can't wait to go."

He is very much like the impatient kind of person? Ye Bai especially wants to ask the little fan.

But in the small fan's imagination, he was in a state of anger, Ye Bai then obediently put on his face and did not say a word.

Xingchen Qi glanced at his face, his heart tightened, took out the drinks he had brought down, picked them out, and threw the normal flavors to Lun A.

He unscrewed the only bottle of unsweetened tea and tentatively handed it to Ye Bai: "Are you thirsty?"

Looking at his bright eyes with a bit of apprehension and expectation, Ye Bai couldn't help but take a sip of his drink: "I heard from Lao Shang that you did well in the main event today?"

"Well!" Xingchen Qi was full of pride, and by the way, he did not forget to pat his horse's back, "The main thing is that you spoke well yesterday."

"...... There are still half a month to kill, the next scenes shoot well. After half a month I will find the old merchant again to ask how you are doing, if the old merchant is satisfied, you will get your gift."

Before Xingchen Qi joined the group, Ye Bai had promised to send him a gift.

At the time, he thought Ye Bai was just talking about it to appease him, but he didn't expect that he would actually put it on the agenda.

Xingchen Qi was suddenly very curious to know what Ye Bai would give him.

But he was too embarrassed to ask, so he adopted a roundabout tactic: "Why are you here, looking for the director?"

"If I was here to see him, I would have gone straight into the hotel." Ye Bai raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, and who are you looking for?"

"......" Ye Bai thinks Lun A is right just now.

"I've come to ask you to raise your voice and ask why you hung me out to dry and why you didn't listen to me."

..... This sentence seems to be what he just said in WeChat, Xingchen Qi frowned, feeling Ye Bai tone is not right, as if saying the opposite.

"It's all my fault," Xingchen Qi hung his head, "this is two counts, what else together with the sentence, and wait for the autumn execution."

Ye Bai was exasperated by him and said, "Then let me ask you again, when you went to the swimming pool, did you read the notes?"

"I've read," Xingchen Qi tried to remember, "that skin disease and heart disease patients are not allowed to enter ...... Oh yeah, and drunk people are also not allowed inside!"

After saying that, Xingchen Qi froze.

He understood why Ye Bai was angry - it turned out that it wasn't because of rudeness, not because of disobedience, but because he didn't pay attention to safety.

"People's reactions are dulled when they drink, and there are a few reports of people being killed at sea after drinking every year," Ye Bai said, "and it was so late yesterday, if I wasn't there, who would you have gone to if you were in danger?"

Xingchen Qi rubbing the tip of his nose.

"Next time don't do something dangerous like that, huh?"

"...... Okay."

"If you do it again, I'll be more than angry next time."

"Got it, next time I won't ...... Wrong!" Seeing Ye Bai raise his eyebrows, Xingchen Qi hurriedly changed his tone, "There is no next time, this is the last time!"

Seeing his conviction, Ye Bai finally couldn't help himself and nodded with a smile.

The yellow light inside the car emits warmth, the sound of cicadas outside the car rises and falls, Xingchen Qi can't help but remember last night, licking his lips.

"Okay, it's getting late," Ye Bai looked at her watch, "I still have some harmonies to do, so you should go back too."

So soon, Xingchen Qi picks up her backpack.

"No," he remembered all of a sudden without waiting to get out of the car, "who exactly are you here to see, is the business done?"

"...... Dumbass."

Ye Bai was helpless, "I was passing by after the shoot and stopped by to see you."

.

"I was passing by after shooting and stopped by to see you."

Xingchen Qi's brain is stuck with the same, from time to time shake over this sentence, the next day into the crew to replay the frequency to come down some.

"Oops, here comes Xing Xing!"

He entered the dressing room in the first foot, the makeup artists and stylists surrounded him, "Hey, Xing Xing, how does it feel to have the video spread all over the net and fire out of the circle?"

Xingchen Qi has never been treated like this, her face reddened, "Don't make fun of me, it's just a short film, not a movie."

"Movies are not necessarily as high as your clicks." The makeup artist took out his phone, "Look, Cool You had the second most clicks yesterday and the first page of total clicks; Qiyi Ai had the third most clicks yesterday and the first page of total clicks; and Penguin Video ......"

Yesterday from Ye Bai car back, he directly washed up and went to bed, did not pay attention to the network. In a word, Xingchen Qi opened those video apps on his phone and watched them one by one.

As the makeup artist said, the clip of him going into the water didn't get to the point of being on the front section of the hot search, but it spread extremely widely and was available on almost every video platform.

And basically, they all ranked among the top three hits yesterday, and even many foreign video sites have reproduced them.

Xingchen Qi's eyes widened slightly, not expecting the short film to spread so widely.

At this time a footstep sounded at the door, the assistant director of business walked in, his eyes turned around: "Qi teacher, you are really here. When there is no drama later you prepare to prepare, the media is coming over to do a group interview this afternoon."

Group interview? Xingchen Qi wondered, "Why didn't the business director say so in advance, it was too sudden. About how many?"

As the name implies, the group interview is a group of media together. The assistant said: "They are the temporary contact this morning business director, set quite suddenly. Now there are nine that can be determined, three live platforms a paper media two self-media, as well as traditional media and television stations."

Now nine, it is estimated that later the news of "Heart of the Sea" to receive a group interview, the number of children will have to be doubled.

Xingchen Qi was even more puzzled: "Then do I need to go?"

The group interview mainly interviews the main creators of the cast, unlike individual media visits, caught who interviewed who two sentences, and his third male does not have much to do with.

"You must be there, Mr. Qi, many of them are here for your short film. I'm going to set up the venue, I'll go first ha, you must remember to prepare."

The assistant had something to do and told Xingchen Qi that the group visit would take place at the Hundred Birds Park Performance Hall, so she hurriedly ran away.

When he received the sad news that he had to participate in a group interview, Xingchen Qi, who doesn't know much about this area, sighed and started to think about what questions the media could ask and how he would answer if asked.

He joined the industry late, so far did not understand the art of speaking, easy to make mistakes, in case to the crew to bring trouble will die of guilt.

Luckily, Yuliang Shang had the foresight to gather everyone for a small meeting at noon. During the meeting, Sheng Xu and Xingchen Qi were specifically instructed not to talk nonsense and not to chide each other.

The two men nodded honestly.

2:00 p.m., Hundred Bird Park Indoor Performance Hall.

The stage was originally for the birds to perform on the iron ring, wooden frame removed, replaced with a row of long tables.

On the table were microphones and name tags of the creators of "Heart of the Sea", in the order of female three, Xingchen Qi, Qingyuan Feng, Yuliang Shang, Tao Tao, Sheng Xu.

Sheng Xu was the first to enter, and when he saw the name tag, his face instantly sank.

In terms of brand name ranking, Qingyuan Feng and Yuliang Shang correspond to each other, which is the absolute double.

Tao Tao and Xingchen Qi correspond, but because Tao Tao is the veritable female number one, it is also something.

And Xingchen Qi actually has a hidden meaning of two times.

Could it be that director Shang wanted to add a scene for him?

What's even more hateful is that he and the female third are sitting on the outermost side and have obviously been reduced to a triplet.

It's just a short film, if it wasn't for Xingchen Qi's good luck, it would have gotten so much exposure?

Sheng Xu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he had regained his composure and put on a friendly smile.

.

In the afternoon, the park was temporarily closed for the afternoon in order to hold a group visit.

After feeding the birds and cleaning the garden, the five bird trainer boys felt no fun and gathered to chat:

"Eh, I heard that the crew inside many big stars, just have time, let's see go."

"People are having a meeting, it's not good for us to go."

"What's wrong with that? It's okay to look at the door. I heard Tao Tao is here, don't you like her a lot?"

"I, hey, I do want to see her, so let's go, let's try to go."

"Go!"

Five young men put down their parrots, only to have the parrots fly back to their owners' shoulders when they see them leaving.

These parrots are purebred bloodlines, tamed by them quite witty. If not for the long bird skin, I'm afraid they would have become immortal.

The boys saw that they could not shake it off, thinking that they did not speak, the birds would not just make a sound, they let the birds stand on their shoulders, five people and nine birds groped their way to the entrance of the auditorium.

Rightfully so, they were stopped by two bodyguards.

But it was hard to come, they were not willing to go back, and finally decided to stand at the door and watch the action.

This group interview a total of nearly twenty media, for no flow of stars to carry the flag of the TV drama, is quite a lot.

Under the auspices of the director's assistant, several small sessions were successfully completed late, and now it is proceeding to the free question time.

The media in the front row stood up: "Through the interview, I feel that our "Heart of the Ocean" crew is a very harmonious and loving group. So are there any funny things happening in life?"

These questions were relatively simple and were answered in order of seating. Xingchen Qi told the story of the night when Shang asked him to go to the room and almost caused a misunderstanding.

Sheng Xu cleared his throat: "Speaking of which, I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to Xing Xing. The first day I reported to the crew, I thought Xing Xing was staying on the twenty-third floor of the hotel like the rest of our supporting cast, so I kept dragging him to the twenty-third floor, hahaha."

The media pressed, "And then?"

"In fact, Xing Xing lived on the floor of the business director and theirs, now that I think about it, it's so funny haha!"

Sheng Xu's words were greeted with laughter from the entire media.

After laughing, they realized there was actually something wrong with that statement.

The success of the fourth season of "Poor Travelers" has brought a lot of attention to the participating guests. Now many people know that Xingchen Qi is from a working family.

A small newcomer from a salaried family, why not live below like other supporting actors, but have to make special treatment to live with the general director on the first floor?

Thinking of Sheng Xu before buying marketing black Xingchen Qi looking for gold, perhaps that is not just throwing dirty water.

A slap on the wrist does not ring, Xu Sheng not black male No. 1 for their own chance to add drama, to black male No. 3, there is definitely a mystery inside.

The reporters who can do it are all people, immediately someone jokingly asked: " Xing Xing, and how does it feel to live next door to director Shang, will he often pull you to talk about the scene?"

Xingchen Qi looked subtle and naturally heard that the media was not focused on "speaking about the play", but "living next door to the director of the business".

He bowed his head close to the microphone, ready to answer still according to the rhetoric Yuji Qi had taught him. Just about to be born-

The bird trainers who saw his resemblance were shocked beyond words.

"Boss?"

"Isn't this our boss?!"

Immediately afterwards, because they heard their master speak, the parrots also followed the call: the

"Boss! Gah!"

"Boss, gah!"

"Boss, boss, gah gah gah!"
