After Su Qiao busied herself in the kitchen for 40 minutes, three dishes and two bowls of steaming rice were brought to the table. I, who had been hungry for a long time, had a great appetite. I picked up a piece of mushroom stir-fried meat, egg stir-fried chives, and black fungus salad.
Mhmm ~ ~ ~ it tastes pretty good! Although it can't compare to the class leader's skills, it's still at the level of a small restaurant! Xiao Qin, who can only make semi-finished products, was completely defeated!
Su Qiao did not immediately eat with me after being busy for a long time. She asked me for a washtub and soaked the apron in it with detergent. She planned to wash the apron after eating.
"It's already a big help that you can cook for me. I can wash the apron myself!"
"Mr. Ye … ah, it's a slip of the tongue again. Xiao Ye, you're the one who helped me a lot."
Su Qiao was very well-behaved when eating at the dining table. She would always pick up food from the same plate after I finished picking up food to prevent our chopsticks from touching each other.
She didn't have a big appetite. She had already put down her chopsticks when I was halfway through my second bowl of rice.
Then she silently cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. When I handed her the empty bowl, I felt a bit of warmth in my heart.
After that, Su Qiao sat on the stool and bent down to wash her greasy apron. I tried to persuade her to use the washing machine, but she said it was too greasy. She wouldn't be able to wash it clean if she didn't use her hands, so I just let her be.
After washing the apron and hanging it on the balcony to dry, Su Qiao washed the grapes she brought and respectfully placed them in front of me.
For a moment, I felt like I was the young master of a landlord's family and Su Qiao was my maid.
"Su Qiao, if there's anything that's bothering you, sit at the table and tell me."
I once suggested calling her sister Qiao, but she told me not to call her sister and said she didn't have the qualifications to be my sister. Now that I think about it, it's probably because she was pressured by Ai ShuQiao to frame me, so she feels ashamed.
I tossed a grape into my mouth. It was pretty sweet and had no seeds.
Su Qiao cautiously sat at the table and didn't touch the grapes on the plate.
"Xiao Ye, I feel like Tian Mu Guang Guang Ltd isn't very proper …"
"What do you mean?"
"Although they say they are a Taiwanese company, only the legal representative is Taiwanese. This person has never shown his face in front of any of the artists he has signed. All the big and small matters of the company are decided by my manager. Although he's experienced, he doesn't look like a big boss … "
Of course he's not a big boss! Ai ShuQiao is the big boss! Ai ShuQiao was right, Su Qiao didn't even know what happened!
I remember you said his last name was Fu. " I thought you said his surname was Fu? "
"Fu", "Ai ShuQiao"
"Fu" is 36 years old! "Fu" Fu "Fu"? Foxconn treats its workers as slaves, but it treats its artists as slaves! I heard that you have been in the Korean film industry for a long time and have left behind a bad reputation. This time, you are working with Ai ShuQiao and letting a Taiwanese guy set up the company. In fact, you are the initial decision-maker of the company?
Ever since you contacted me through Su Qiao and said you wanted to sign a contract with me and promised to provide me with a main character … you must be trying to set me up! Or did they follow Ai ShuQiao's orders to harm me? He's different from the threatened Su Qiao, Fu ShiJian must be very happy to ravage a young man like me. Moreover, there was no need to use a knife or any violence to kill a person. Just the contract was enough! Fortunately, I knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in the sky, so I didn't meet him!
"Is there anything else wrong with Tian Mu Guang Company?" I asked.
Su Qiao let her braid hang in front of her body and stroked it back and forth anxiously.
"The company claims to be big, but the office and meeting room are in the same building, and the recording studio and photography studio are in another building. They are even shared with other companies … Mr. Fu also signed 3 new girls, but within a few days, one of them was sent to the hospital for treatment for alcohol poisoning. I heard that something even worse happened to her after she got drunk …"
Could it be that after signing the contract, he would be forced to drink with his client? As a manager, Fu ShiJian did not have the heart to protect her at all. He might have even added fuel to the fire! Did you work with the client to get the girl drunk and bring her to the hotel for a threesome?!
As expected of one of Ai ShuQiao's subordinates, what a ruthless scumbag! Even if I didn't have Tian Mu Guang Company's shares and Ai ShuQiao's instigation, I would still want to take him down and ruin his reputation!
"He didn't force you to do anything you didn't want to, right?" I asked cautiously.
"No …" Su Qiao's reply wasn't very straightforward. I reckon that even with Ai ShuQiao's prohibition, as a lecher, Fu ShiJian would still do something dirty to Su Qiao's butt.
"Then did he arrange a job for you?" I asked again.
Su Qiao's face turned red.
"Mr. Fu … said even though I acted in an American TV show, 'The Magic Cauldron' hasn't started airing yet, so I don't have any exposure in China, so he wants me to start from a young age … Last week, he told me to advertise a newly opened computer mall. My main job was to wear underwear and hand out flyers …"
"Wear underwear? Aren't you afraid of getting arrested by the anti-pornography brigade? "
"It's actually a split swimsuit, but it covers less skin than underwear … so I didn't agree and got someone else to do it."
No wonder Eunuch Cao called me last Saturday and told me to go to the computer mall in the city center and said I would regret it if I didn't go. So it was because someone was wearing a bikini and handing out flyers! Also, if Su Qiao didn't refuse, would I have seen her naked? How awkward would that be!
But then again, when Su Qiao first came to me, I already saw her upper body, so bikini might not be much in comparison.
"Because I rejected this job, Mr. Fu was very angry. He heard that I know how to cook, so he contacted a TV program called 'Pretty Girl Demon Chef'. He wants me and the other contestants to wear sexy swimsuits and compete in cooking. Then, I'll be judged by the judges …"
In the end, you still have to show your skin! How can the SARFT not do anything about such an inappropriate show being aired on TV! Hurry up and use the Hand of Harmony to give this show to Pleasant Goat!
"I didn't agree to this job either. I asked Mr. Fu if there was any job where I didn't have to take off my clothes, but he glared at me and said: You want to work in the entertainment industry if you don't want to take off your clothes? Then he became colder and colder towards me and didn't arrange a single job for me … "
"That Fu guy is a bastard!" I scolded, "But didn't you sign a full contract with Tian Mu Xing Guang? You should be getting a base salary even if you don't work, right? "
"I … I didn't pay attention when I signed the contract, but it was stated that all artists have to listen to the company and go out to drink twice a month. If I don't go, it would be a breach of contract and I would only get 30% of the base salary …"
Getting 30% of the base salary is still better than getting drunk and gang-raped! I told you there's no such thing as a free lunch, now you're regretting it!
I couldn't help but try to comfort Su Qiao after seeing her miserable expression:
"Don't worry too much." I said, "Don't you still have the role of the blood prince's maid? The pay in America is quite generous … "
I didn't expect that as soon as I said this, her tears would crackle and fall.
"I … I can't act anymore … tomorrow is my last scene in the 'Magic Cauldron'. I'm not sure why the director suddenly changed the script and my character was written off …"
Huh? Because of your acrobatic skills, didn't the director praise your martial arts moves greatly and want to increase your scenes so that the Blood Prince's handmaiden, a minor character who should have left in the first season, can become a "quasi main character" who might play for three seasons? Didn't they also increase your salary by a lot?
"I don't know what happened either." Su Qiao wiped her tears and said, "We're only 3/4 of the first season when I suddenly got the news. The writer protested to the director because he kept changing the script, but the director still made the decision …"
It seems like Ai ShuQiao has a lot of influence on the director! As an American, the director must know that Ai ShuQiao has a close relationship with the mafia and can't be offended!
"It's like it's all a dream and it's going to end tomorrow …"
Su Qiao looked at the empty ceiling with tears in her eyes.
"What do you plan on doing next?" I asked.
"I don't know, first I'll move to a cheaper apartment …"
"Huh? You can't even pay the rent now? The salary you received from the crew shouldn't be too little, right? "
Su Qiao said dejectedly:
"I thought I could still act for a long time, so I didn't really save money. I spent a lot on clothes and skincare … I even sent my parents a few thousand dollars. Now the landlord is urging me to renew the lease and I can't even pay the rent for the next two months …"
By the way, because Dong Shan Film City was advertised as a tourist attraction and there were many foreigners around, the rent in the vicinity was quite expensive, almost on par with the city center. On the contrary, the rent in the economically backward Xicheng District was much cheaper.
I pushed the plate of grapes in front of Su Qiao. She calmed down a bit after eating two grapes.
"I thought about it carefully. I must be in this situation because I got carried away … and I reaped what I sowed. God is probably punishing me …"
It's just Ai ShuQiao punishing you! But you probably already know that. There's an old saying: You should be loyal to others. You received benefits from Ai ShuQiao, but you didn't do what Ai ShuQiao requested. How could Ai ShuQiao continue to let you dream of being a star! She still ordered you to get close to me after stripping you of your role, so she must have promised you something else in return. Could it be that she resurrected the blood prince's maid? It's a fantasy novel, so resurrecting one or two people isn't strange. As for the screenwriter exploding with anger, no one sympathizes …
Su Qiao felt the pressure on her body greatly decrease after she finally found someone and poured out her grievances. She suddenly felt sleepy due to lack of sleep for a long time.
"I … I'm a bit sleepy. Xiao Ye, I'm sorry, can I borrow your bed and take a nap?"
I know what insomnia feels like. I couldn't sleep for a week after the Little Tyrant stole brother Optimus Prime. Insomnia is a punishment worse than not having food to eat.
Since the main room and my dad's study room were full of objects, I let her rest in my room. She was already tired, so she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
I gently closed the door for Su Qiao, then I went to the study room and sat behind my dad's computer. I grandly placed the 'Love Red Lip Balloon' on the shelves. As for the product picture, of course it's Shu Zhe in female clothing blowing the balloon.
I received a congratulatory message from 'Uncle Fireball' less than 10 minutes after it was placed on the shelves. I really don't know why this pervert has so much free time.
"Good job, good job, owner! Especially the product picture, it's so beautiful! "
Uncle Fireball was not stingy with his compliments.
"Sister Red Bean's outfit, that look, that expression, it's better to take off your clothes than to take them off. It makes my heart itch!"
Not only you, 'Cilantro Buns' was even more itchy. He asked me to get a room with him, but the room fee has already risen to 6000 ¥.
Uncle Fireball was the first to order 3 balloons. Under his advertising, the 7 balloons Shu Zhe blew were quickly sold out.
"Shop owner, I'm actually thinking that if I can get an autographed photo of Sister Red Bean's products every time I buy a certain amount of money, the sales will be even more explosive!"
Sounds like it's worth a try. Those perverts would definitely want to hold Sister Red Beans' photo in one hand and use Sister Red Beans' original underwear to masturbate, right?
"Also, I have an even better idea, but I can't tell you right now. I'll only make a decision after I taste the balloons."
You're just a pervert, why are you putting on airs? Also, you really are going to suck in the air that Red Bean exhales! What good taste would there be! It's all carbon dioxide without any nutrients!
After wrapping up the balloons and waiting for the courier to pick them up tomorrow, I looked at my watch. It was already 8pm and Su Qiao didn't show any signs of waking up. Should I let her sleep and not disturb her?
At this time, I suddenly received a call from Shu Zhe. In order to not wake Su Qiao up, I quickly went to the house and closed the door.
Shu Zhe's voice was abnormally wronged, his first sentence was:
"Bro Ye Lin, it's all your fault! Compensate me for my mental damage! "
"Tsk." I disagreed, "Didn't you just walk a few steps in women's clothing? What's there to lose? "
Shu Zhe spoke with a heavy nasal voice, like a coquettish girl:
"You're asking me what's there to lose … I … I met a pervert!!"
