Taking advantage of the one-day break, Chu Xiang took Fang Zhenxuan to sign the endorsement contract for the ZX youth series. The other party did not particularly trust Fang Zhenxuan's ability to carry goods and proposed to only sign for one year.
Chu Xiang had no objections. One year was just right. If the other party wanted to sign Fang Zhenxuan next year, it would not be at this price.
Then she accompanied Fang Zhenxuan back to the company to audition for the second male lead in the urban drama, and at the same time, she calculated how much money Chen Lifeng owed her.
As soon as they entered the company, they met President Liang's secretary. The secretary took the elevator with them and looked at Chu Xiang in surprise. "Chu Xiang, I haven't seen you for a while. You've become more beautiful. Did you change to new skincare products? What brand? "
Chu Xiang smiled. "I bought it when I went to Paris with Zhenxuan to record" Extreme Mode ". It works well. I'm going to record" Love's Wish "tomorrow. I'll bring you a set to try."
"Okay, thank you. By the way, President Liang asked you to go to his office after you're done. Don't be afraid. You didn't do anything wrong this time. "
"Okay, then I'll be there later. Thank you." Chu Xiang used to sit in the position of president, but she also knew how to get along with her colleagues in the company. It was not strange to be polite. Sometimes, she could get one or two useful words, and the relationship was worth it.
Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan arrived at the audition floor. When they went to say hello, the audition director's assistant also looked at Chu Xiang in surprise. "Sister Xiang, you're so beautiful today. Your lipstick size is also right. What brand and color is it?"
Chu Xiang took out the lipstick from her bag and glanced at it. "This doesn't seem to be sold in China. I'll bring you one later. Our skin color is similar, so it should look good. "
"Okay, thank you, Sister Xiang! Can we add each other on WeChat? "
"Of course. When Zhenxuan enters the cast in the future, please take care of him."
"That's for sure. Don't worry, Sister Xiang." The assistant added Chu Xiang on WeChat while reminding her, "Xia Ze came to audition for the role of the second male lead just now. The director is quite satisfied. Zhenxuan, you have to work hard."
Fang Zhenxuan's expression changed slightly when he heard Xia Ze's name. Chu Xiang noticed it and thought that Fang Zhenxuan was stressed because of Xia Ze's popularity. She comforted him, "We are fully prepared. Don't think too much. Just show it naturally. If not, I'll find you other resources. "
The assistant said enviously, "Sister Xiang, you really dote on your artists. It's such a blessing to be your artist."
Chu Xiang joked, "If you have any ideas, you can come to me."
"Hahaha, great!"
Fang Zhenxuan was pulled back from his thoughts by the assistant's words. His expression softened and he smiled. "It is indeed a blessing to be Chu Xiang, so I will get this role. Chu Xiang, wait for my good news. I'm going in."
Fang Zhenxuan straightened his clothes and walked into the audition hall at a leisurely pace. The assistant didn't notice that Fang Zhenxuan wasn't "Chu Xiang's artist", but "Chu Xiang's man". She teased Fang Zhenxuan that he didn't look like a newcomer at all and had a good attitude.
Chu Xiang looked at the closed door thoughtfully. Since she knew Fang Zhenxuan, she had never seen Fang Zhenxuan in a bad mood. What was the reason for that strange moment just now? They were fully prepared. Fang Zhenxuan shouldn't be nervous.
Xia Ze was Hong Yao's popular fried chicken. He was 26 years old this year. He debuted at the age of 18 and became popular at the age of 20. After that, he had been popular all the way until now. Because he could sing and dance, had a good-looking face and looked very young, he had a large number of fans and was very popular.
However, 26 years old was a very delicate age for fresh meat. Younger fresh meat was rising and was very capable, such as Fang Zhenxuan. An idol like Xia Ze, who was popular but didn't have any representative works, could be easily replaced, especially an idol like Xia Ze with ordinary acting skills and a mediocre variety sense. He didn't have any songs that people were familiar with. The most important thing now was to find an opportunity to have a representative work.
The male and female leads of this urban drama and a few supporting roles were all capable actors. The script was well-polished, and the investment was not bad. It was going to be a hit drama of the year. In order to have a good work, Xia Ze was willing to play the second male lead this time.
Chu Xiang learned from the assistant that Xia Ze had taken the initiative to reduce his salary and hired a private teacher for the performance. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort. With Xia Ze's popularity, there was no reason for the crew not to use him. He was a big threat to Fang Zhenxuan.
Chu Xiang didn't like to fight battles that she wasn't sure of. The company wanted to compensate her with good intentions, but with Xia Ze at the audition, they might not give her the second male lead. After all, Fang Zhenxuan had too few works so far, and his popularity couldn't be compared to Xia Ze's.
She went to Mr. Liang's office in advance and proposed the VAM agreement to him.
"VAM agreement?" Mr. Liang put down the pen in his hand, leaned back in his office chair, and laughed, "Chu Xiang, I already know what Chen Lifeng and Li Ou did. They did go a little too far, and the company will punish them accordingly. At present, you only have Fang Zhenxuan as a newcomer. I hope you won't be anxious because of some things and make irrational decisions. "
Chu Xiang smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Liang, this is a decision I made after careful consideration. Please believe in my ability and Zhenxuan's potential. Since I dare to propose it, I will definitely be able to achieve the goal. "
"Oh? Careful consideration? " Mr. Liang was puzzled, "VAM agreements are rare in the industry. Only A-list artists with enough strength will enter into a VAM agreement with the company to fight for more resources for themselves, accumulate better qualifications, and earn more money. As far as I know, Fang Zhenxuan's two endorsements, one variety show, and one TV series are not very profitable. I'm afraid he doesn't have the capital to bet. "
Chu Xiang shrugged, "How long has it been since he debuted? To have such resources and income, he has already beaten all the artists at the same stage. Mr. Liang, let's set a limit of two years. Fang Zhenxuan will definitely far surpass Xia Ze and bring huge benefits to the company. I will make his value increase tenfold, and I also hope the company can match him with high-quality resources. "
Mr. Liang smiled, "So it's because of Xia Ze. You knew he came for the audition? Yes, they just discussed Xia Ze's situation and thought that he was very suitable for the project "Turning". Chu Xiang, aren't you a little too hasty? Xia Ze became popular two years after his debut. His popularity is already very fast. His current popularity is also the result of a few years of development. Fang Zhenxuan has just debuted. You can take it slow. Don't be anxious. "
Chu Xiang shook her head, took out her tablet, and opened a new document. While typing on it, she explained to Mr. Liang how she wanted to make Fang Zhenxuan popular in two years.
TV dramas, movies, advertising endorsements, variety shows, New Year's Eve parties, overseas markets, fashion resources, and so on. Not only did she mention the types, brands, and profits of various resources, but she also mentioned how she wanted to obtain these resources.
Of course, the method was not too detailed. After all, this was something she had to do with her methods. However, she had already revealed enough information to let Mr. Liang know that she was not joking. She had a complete and implementable plan that could make Fang Zhenxuan's value increase tenfold, or even more.
At first, Mr. Liang did not think much of it, but later, he gradually listened seriously. When Chu Xiang finished the entire plan and proposed the VAM, he suddenly had an illusion that Chu Xiang should not be a manager at all, but a business powerhouse who negotiated in the business world.
The VAM was a fixed amount for both parties. Fang Zhenxuan had to earn these benefits for the company within two years, and the excess would belong to him. If he did not reach the stipulated amount, Fang Zhenxuan would make up for the shortfall.
Whether it was completed or not, the company would not lose out. Fang Zhenxuan was the one who gambled, fought, and took the risk.
Mr. Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Does Fang Zhenxuan know about this?"
"I thought of this after he went in for the audition. I haven't told him yet, but I believe that he will agree with all my decisions."
Mr. Liang looked at Chu Xiang's confident and indifferent expression and shook his head with a smile. "You … You've already thought about it carefully. I thought you had thought about it for a long time. It turns out that you came up with this idea at the last minute downstairs."
He glanced at the tablet and could not help but praise, "I have to praise you. You're a talent. You can come up with such a perfect plan in such a short time. It's also clear and feasible. However, do you really want to take such a big risk? It's just the second male lead in a drama. You've already gotten the male lead in a lawyer drama. Do you have to be so persistent? "
"Mr. Liang, we shouldn't miss any suitable opportunity. The lawyer drama is still in the preparation stage, but 'Turning' is about to start shooting. Fang Zhenxuan has the potential. Of course, we have to get every one of them. Moreover, in the face of enough strength, the risk is completely negligible."
Chu Xiang smiled. "Mr. Liang, I also proposed the VAM agreement because I trust the company. Our Stars doesn't have an idol artist of the same type and level as Xia Ze. It won't be long before I let Zhenxuan be on equal footing with him and then surpass him. Also, Chen Lifeng may leave after the contract expires in half a year. Zhenxuan's rise can make up for some of the losses. This is a strategic action. Zhenxuan and I will work hard and live up to the company's kindness. I hope Mr. Liang can seriously consider it. "
Mr. Liang laughed and reached out to point at her. "You, people change their personality when they encounter big things. I think you're getting more and more capable and stronger."
He pressed the internal line and asked the secretary to call Fang Zhenxuan over. He asked Chu Xiang to explain the contents of the VAM agreement to Fang Zhenxuan and asked Fang Zhenxuan's opinion in person.
He previously learned that Fang Zhenxuan's family background was average and he owed Chu Xiang a lot of money. He thought that Fang Zhenxuan would hesitate no matter what. Unexpectedly, Fang Zhenxuan nodded without hesitation after hearing Chu Xiang's words.
"Mr. Liang, I have no objections. I believe in Chu Xiang's decision. I will also work hard to complete this agreement. Please trust us."
Mr. Liang was slightly surprised. "As expected of the best partner. This trust is worthy of praise." He thought for a moment. "Okay, you guys go back first. I'll think about it. Chu Xiang, make a formal proposal for me. It's more detailed. "
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Liang, for being willing to give us this opportunity. We will definitely not let you down." Chu Xiang stood up and shook hands with Mr. Liang. Suddenly, she remembered that the secretary asked her to find Mr. Liang. She asked, "Did Mr. Liang ask me to come over after I'm done? Is there anything you want me to do? "
Mr. Liang waved his hand and smiled. "I originally wanted to talk to you to calm down and not compete with Chen Lifeng. I wanted you to be more stable. Who knew that you would come up with a bigger plan? Okay, I know that you guys are rushing up like you're on steroids. The company has no reason to stop you. As long as you don't make any mistakes, do whatever you're confident in. The company will support you. "
"Thank you, Mr. Liang." Chu Xiang could tell from Mr. Liang's attitude that he had most likely agreed to the VAM agreement. She was in a good mood and left the company with Fang Zhenxuan.
Perhaps it was because she had been using Chinese medicine to nurse her body. Many people in the company praised her for becoming more beautiful, which made her feel even better.
Fang Zhenxuan smiled. "Do you like being praised so much? Then should I praise you every time I'm by your side? "
"Sure, let's hear it first." Chu Xiang got into the car and lowered her head to fasten her seat belt.
Fang Zhenxuan said without thinking, "There's still time now. Do you want to go shopping? You're so beautiful. Don't you want to wear more beautiful clothes? If those clothes didn't meet you, they might not have the chance to show their beauty. "
Chu Xiang touched her arms and looked up. "So mushy!"
Fang Yuan and Lin snickered in the back seat. Fang Zhenxuan also smiled and fastened his seat belt. "So what if it's mushy? I'm telling the truth. "
Fang Zhenxuan turned his face and leaned toward Chu Xiang. "Boss, you gave me a huge task just now. Shouldn't you give me some compensation?"
Chu Xiang turned her face, and the distance between the two was very close. She asked naturally, "What compensation do you want?"
Fang Zhenxuan's hands, which were by his side, unconsciously pinched his pants. With a relaxed expression, he said, "Take me to a fun place to relax during the break, or play with Xinxin and me. Find something interesting to do to pass the time. You see, I'm working so hard and under so much pressure. Shouldn't you pay more attention to me and help me relax? "
Fang Yuan and Lin lowered their heads and pretended to look at their phones. From time to time, they would glance in front of them. They felt … a little strange.
Chu Xiang smiled and agreed. "Okay, let's go out and play during the break."
Chu Xiang returned home and sent the complete and detailed plan to Mr. Liang's email. This meticulously organized plan was even better than what she had explained in the office. Anyone who saw it would be tempted. For Mr. Liang, this was a project that could bring huge benefits to the company. A good project was certainly worth investing in.
As for the second male lead of "Turning", although Xia Ze's popularity was high, Fang Zhenxuan's performance in the audition was very good. He was very natural in playing the role of the second male lead, which was very good for the show's reputation. Coupled with the VAM agreement and the fact that Fang Zhenxuan's popularity would increase before the broadcast of "Turning" finished filming, this role was more suitable for Fang Zhenxuan.
Mr. Liang had to think carefully, so this decision was not disclosed to anyone for the time being. Chu Xiang and Fang Zhenxuan quickly flew to Paris to film "Love's Wish" and were the flying guests for the first episode.
"Love's Wish" was about four couples traveling to different cities. Each time they went on a trip, they would make a wish and fulfill it together. Traveling was a good way to test a couple's relationship. When two people went out together, they would really encounter a lot of problems that needed to be solved. Even the best couple might have some friction, be in a bad mood, or even quarrel. These and the sweetness of love were the highlights of this show. The ratings were quite good.
In the 12 episodes of the season, the sixth episode was about four girls traveling together like best friends to Paris. It brought some beautiful visual feast to the audience. At the same time, it changed the mood of the audience who had watched too many couples. It was actually very interesting to watch the entertainment between "best friends" and let the girls talk about their relationships and boyfriends.
This time, the producers added a super handsome guy like Fang Zhenxuan, which undoubtedly added to the show's highlights.
When Fang Zhenxuan met them at the airport, he took the initiative to help them with the gifts, find restaurants to order food, and lead the way to the boarding gate. They didn't have to worry about anything.
Chu Xiang also accompanied them. She couldn't appear on camera and had been with the staff the whole time. However, she had always liked to be beautiful. Even if she stood in the crowded staff, she could still be seen at a glance. She was more eye-catching than those female artists and received a lot of attention at the airport.
Zhou Yuan had always felt that she took better care of herself than Chu Xiang. Who knew that she would be defeated by Chu Xiang as soon as they met. Just by looking at the rate of Lu Rao's head turning, she knew that Chu Xiang was in a better state than her. She couldn't help but feel jealous and disgusted in her heart, and she began to make things difficult for Fang Zhenxuan.
For example, when Fang Zhenxuan took care of them carefully, she said jokingly, "Zhenxuan is so considerate. Have you really never been in love?"
Most boys who had never been in love were straight men, and fans also liked their style. If they were too gentle and considerate, which girl would they be considerate to? The fans wouldn't accept it.
However, Fang Zhenxuan easily resolved it with a joking response. "How can a boy who has been in love be as considerate as me? I'm the one who raised my niece myself. Sisters, believe me, men who have raised girls before are the most considerate. They're really afraid that they'll fall in their hands and melt in their mouths. "
The other three female artists laughed when they heard this. One of them even thought about it seriously. "When I get married in the future, I must have a son. Then, there will be one more person to dote on me. I don't want a soft and cuter daughter to compete with me for favor."
This sentence made everyone laugh and cleverly changed the topic from love to other places. Zhou Yuan wanted to make things difficult for Fang Zhenxuan again, but she was someone who had been in the entertainment industry for twenty years. She knew that she would only be at a disadvantage if she was too obvious. She suppressed her displeasure and smiled without saying anything else.
When the group arrived at their residence, they found that the production team had only given them a little money to settle a series of activities such as eating, taking photos, checking in at scenic spots, shopping, and so on.
They wanted the show to be good. Of course, they wanted every activity to be wonderful, but not having enough money to spend was a big problem. If they couldn't afford to eat well, it would give people a very low feeling. Several girls suddenly became a little unhappy. Even the joy of traveling to Paris was gone.
Zhou Yuan found another opportunity to joke, "Hey, don't sigh. Don't we have an omnipotent helper this time? Zhenxuan, you've been so resourceful all the way. How about it? Do you have an immortal plan this time? "
She was good-looking with a round face. Her smile was indeed full of kindness, as if she was really just joking. But if Fang Zhenxuan couldn't solve this problem, and if the show wasn't good, it would inevitably make people feel that this helper was too superfluous. It was simply forced in.
Fang Zhenxuan was originally forced in by Chu Xiang through her connections. Although the producer weighed the pros and cons and thought that Fang Zhenxuan was very suitable, Zhou Yuan didn't think so. She even felt that Fang Zhenxuan's cleverness and sense of variety in "Extreme Mode" were scripted. She was very unwilling to give such a good resource to Chu Xiang's people.
Now that Chu Xiang dared to send Fang Zhenxuan to her, she couldn't let Fang Zhenxuan shine in her show at all.
The three girls in the group were well aware of the relationship between them, but they had nothing to do with either side. Of course, they wouldn't help either side. Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, they all looked at Fang Zhenxuan and didn't want to participate in the lawsuit.
Fang Zhenxuan seemed to be thinking hard, but in fact, his eyes met with Chu Xiang, who was standing among the staff. Chu Xiang nodded at him. He patted his knees and sat up straight. "How about this? I'll see if I can buy some cheap and delicious food. We won't go out to eat. I'll cook for you today."
Zhou Yuan showed a look of pity. "Ah? You don't want to eat French food? " Then she smiled cleverly. "That's fine. People like me who don't know how to cook have no right to speak. Haha, I'll eat whatever there is."
She made it sound like she was very straightforward, but she didn't miss out on anything. If they didn't eat French food while traveling in France, what was the point of cooking home-cooked food? Even the staff of the program felt a little regretful about this choice.
Fang Zhenxuan smiled. "How can that be? Not only do we have to eat French food in Paris, but we also have to experience the local customs and fashion. Otherwise, we'll have come for nothing. But we don't have money now, so we have to think of a way first. My cooking skills are not bad. How about this? I'll try to cook something later and see if I can get some money from the neighbors. Then, we'll make a plan. Taking photos is easy. How can we not know how to take photos? We can borrow a camera and take photos ourselves. We can help each other do makeup and style. Isn't it more interesting than the sisters' usual makeup livestreams? "
"Ah? Take photos ourselves, do makeup, and style ourselves? " The four girls looked at each other. But since Fang Zhenxuan had already done so, if they didn't agree, wouldn't it mean that they didn't trust their own standards? After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be quite fun, so they all agreed.
After reaching an agreement, Fang Zhenxuan took the initiative to ask for money to go out and buy groceries. He asked them to stay at the homestay to rest and wait for him to come back to do the work.
Fang Zhenxuan went out and discussed with the neighbors for a while. Then, he took a neighbor's car to the supermarket to buy groceries, followed by two cameramen. Zhou Yuan returned to her room and suddenly thought that this wasn't right. Fang Zhenxuan had unknowingly taken on a lot of things. Buying groceries in the supermarket, communicating with neighbors, cooking, exchanging money … Weren't these all shots? And they couldn't be cut out!
She didn't want Fang Zhenxuan to stand out, but in the end, she gave Fang Zhenxuan a chance to appear on camera! She remembered that in the five episodes that she had recorded before, her team thought that her performance was average and that she didn't have a strong sense of variety. Among the four girls, she might be ranked third. At least in this episode, she couldn't lose to Fang Zhenxuan, right? She and Chen Lifeng couldn't always be suppressed by Chu Xiang's people.
Zhou Yuan pretended to be very tired and lay on the bed for a while. Then, she went to the kitchen and began to wash the tableware. A girl heard the movement and came out and asked, "Why are you washing the tableware now?"
Zhou Yuan smiled. "Zhenxuan is going to cook later. I don't know how to cook, so I'll help clean it. By the way, should we play something after dinner? How about a Truth Lottery Tube? "
"Okay! There should be some in the guesthouse. I'll find it! "
There were all kinds of stimulating and sensitive questions in the Truth Lottery Tube, which was most suitable for their show. She had been in the entertainment industry for twenty years. Answering questions according to the situation was her strength. She could make up suitable answers without changing her expression. Fang Zhenxuan was a newcomer. He would definitely answer one or two wrong questions when encountering endless questions.
Zhou Yuan sneered in her heart. She didn't believe that Fang Zhenxuan wouldn't fail. If something went wrong, Chu Xiang would offend the producer and directly cut off one of her connections!
The four girls got along very well in the guesthouse. When Fang Zhenxuan was shopping, he also developed a good friendship with the neighbors in a fluent foreign language. The neighbors introduced a lot of cheap and delicious dishes to him. On the way, they also taught him a particularly simple and delicious French home-cooked dish under Fang Zhenxuan's inquiry.
Fang Zhenxuan and he agreed to exchange two dishes to taste at dinner, so they went back to the guesthouse with a big bag of vegetables. Zhou Yuan looked up and saw him carrying a lot of things, so she deliberately said, "Zhenxuan! You bought so many things? "
Others also looked over when they heard it. "Ah, so many. Well, Zhenxuan, did you spend all the money?"
Fang Zhenxuan smiled. "How is that possible? You also think that there are a lot of things, right? Thanks to the help of the big brother next door, these things only cost a little money. It still needs to be carried by the locals so that they won't be wasted. Well, I'm going to cook. Sisters, watch TV and wait for a while. "
"I'm sorry. Let's help you."
Zhou Yuan also said, "Yes, I can't cook, but I can help. I have already washed these tableware. What else can I do?"
Fang Zhenxuan looked at the tableware in the kitchen and smiled. "Thank you, Sister Zhou Yuan. Then, Sister Zhou Yuan, help me choose the beans. This is simple. You can choose while watching TV."
After that, he put the ingredients in the refrigerator and asked the other three girls to help peel the potatoes, cut the meat, and cut the onion.
Zhou Yuan wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but she didn't have a chance. She looked again and found that it was indeed much easier to choose beans than the three girls. She had to take a pot of beans to the coffee table to choose.
Chu Xiang raised the corner of her lips when she saw this. Choosing beans was very simple, but it was too difficult for a girl who had never cooked and had beautiful nails.
Zhou Yuan picked up a bean and broke both ends. She pinched it hard but couldn't break it. If she used too much strength, her nails would feel uncomfortable. Moreover, she accidentally broke off a large piece of the bean. She couldn't control the strength.
After pinching for a while, her nails had begun to hurt. Looking at the pot of beans that she had only picked out a little and the rest after a long time, she felt that her vision was turning black.
Just when she wanted to find an excuse to refuse, Fang Zhenxuan suddenly raised his head. "Sister Zhou Yuan, is it difficult? Why don't you leave it? I'll do it later. "
Two of the four girls didn't know how to cook. Zhou Yuan saw another girl who didn't know how to peel potatoes and the other two who knew how to cut things very well. She was the only one who didn't know how to cook. If she gave up at this time, wouldn't it mean that she didn't even know how to choose beans?
Moreover, she had taken the initiative to help before. Wouldn't giving up now be slapping her own face? She could only smile. "You do your thing. I'll be done soon."
When Zhou Yuan slowly finished the beans, Fang Zhenxuan had already prepared a lot of dishes. In contrast, she looked very stupid. Zhou Yuan had a hard time maintaining the smile on her face.
The main reason was that she didn't know how to use skillful strength. She completely broke the tips of the beans with brute force. After pinching a pot of beans, her nails hurt more and more.
When she brought the beans over, Fang Zhenxuan, who was washing the beans, was obviously stunned. Then he smiled and said, "You don't have to pinch so many. We have to save some ingredients."
Zhou Yuan knew that his words were also sarcastic, but she couldn't say anything. She only smiled and said, "It's my first time choosing beans. I didn't do well."
"It's okay. My first time choosing beans wasn't as good as yours." Fang Zhenxuan's expression was normal, as if hinting that she was wasting ingredients was just a casual remark.
Zhou Yuan put down her hands and was about to leave when Fang Zhenxuan said, "I forgot to peel the garlic! The pot is already hot. Sisters, can one of you peel it for me empty-handed? "
Zhou Yuan looked up and saw that they were all working. She was the only one who was empty-handed. She couldn't help but glance at Fang Zhenxuan. He did it on purpose, right?
But on the surface, she could only smile. "I'll do it."
She took a head of garlic and broke it open with great effort. Her painful nails were touched again, and it hurt even more. She didn't know what was wrong with the garlic skin. It was as if it grew on the garlic and stuck very tightly. When she peeled the skin, it broke. She had to peel off the remaining skin. When she peeled it, it broke again, and she had to peel it again.
She tore half of the garlic and didn't finish peeling it. Her nails even scratched the garlic.
Fang Zhenxuan urged, "Sister Zhou Yuan, is the garlic ready?"
"Not yet." Zhou Yuan was annoyed. She exerted force in her hand and the garlic fell to the ground. She threw the garlic away with an annoyed expression and took another piece. "Sorry, I'll peel it again."
Fang Zhenxuan wiped his hands and walked over. "Sister Zhou Yuan, you've worked hard. Let me do it!"
Fang Zhenxuan took the garlic and twisted it on both sides. He easily separated the garlic skin from the garlic and pulled it off. After peeling a few cloves of garlic and cutting them, he directly took them to cook.
There was smoke in the kitchen. He said, "Sisters, you've helped a lot. Go and rest. It'll be ready soon."
The girls laughed and washed their hands to sit on the sofa in the living room. Zhou Yuan went back to her room to tie her hair because her nails hurt. She was in a bad mood. When she went back to her room, she didn't notice that her fingers touched her eyes. In a few seconds, her eyes burned uncomfortably and tears flowed out.
She quickly wiped her tears. Then she remembered that her hands had just touched the garlic. No wonder her eyes were crying. She quickly walked into the bathroom.
The producer, Sister Qing, and Chu Xiang were friends. This time, she was afraid that Chu Xiang and Zhou Yuan would make trouble when they met, so she also came and chatted with Chu Xiang. At this moment, she saw Zhou Yuan crying from the screen. Because of the angle, it looked like Zhou Yuan was crying. She couldn't help but look at Chu Xiang. She happened to meet Chu Xiang's eyes.
Chu Xiang winked at her, smiled, and mouthed, "Hot search."
Sister Qing chuckled and whispered, "When did you become so bad?"
Chu Xiang shrugged. "What do you think?"
"You're right." The most important thing for the show was popularity. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether the next season would be filmed. It was the most common thing to edit the preview of the next episode. The preview seemed to be contradictory, but in fact, the show was very harmonious. It was the usual method of the show. The scene of Zhou Yuan crying could be used as the highlight of the preview. Anyway, when the show aired, it would be known that she was spicy.
Chu Xiang looked at Fang Zhenxuan, who was cooking seriously, and smiled slightly. This bad guy was standing up for her, and he was so bad that there was no trace of it. Zhou Yuan wanted to trip Fang Zhenxuan up, but she was still too inexperienced.
When Fang Zhenxuan finished cooking, the girls all felt hungry. There was no other reason. The smell of the dishes that kept coming out of the kitchen was too fragrant. The girls all went to serve the dishes. "Quick, set them up and take a picture. Zhenxuan's cooking is really good!"
"Hey, wait!" Fang Zhenxuan stopped them and picked up two dishes. "This is my gift to the neighbor …"
Zhou Yuan had been looking for an opportunity to turn the tables. Before he finished, she said in surprise, "Ah? You want to give it to someone else? Are you thanking him for his help today? "
Fang Zhenxuan smiled and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong. It's not a gift, it's an exchange!"
"Exchange?"
"Yes, sisters, don't you want to eat French food? I've made a deal with my brother. We'll exchange two dishes at dinner. I'll treat him to authentic Chinese food, and he'll treat us to authentic French food. By the way, I also want this dish. This is the French dish I learned from the neighbor on the way. It's my first time cooking it, so I don't know if it's delicious. Later, sisters, please give me the honor of commenting. "
"As for me, this looks different from others. You actually learned to cook a dish on the way? It looks delicious. "
"I'll go to exchange the dishes first. When I come back, we'll have dinner. Sisters, set the table first." Fang Zhenxuan put the dishes on the plate and went next door.
He and his neighbor exchanged dinner in a friendly manner. Of course, there must be a camera. Sister Qing nodded with satisfaction and said to Chu Xiang, "You're a good artist. You're very good at taking the initiative to create a variety effect, and you can control any situation."
"Of course, don't you know who he is?" Chu Xiang raised her eyebrows. She personally guided him. If he didn't have a strong sense of variety, she wouldn't have let him be a flying guest.
Sister Qing laughed. "You've brought the right person. Now you can hold your head high."
When Fang Zhenxuan came back, there were a total of six dishes. Three of them were French dishes, and each plate looked very delicate and beautiful. This first meal in France was not low at all. On the contrary, it was very interesting and meaningful. The friendly exchange with the neighbors also brought him a lot of good fortune.
The few of them surrounded the table and took a few photos before they started eating.
