Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 76 Xu Jingxing's Personal Studio

The next day.

Just as Xu Jingxing was about to push open the door, Zeng Li chased after him.

"You forgot your things!"

Zeng Li, who was taking a shower, hurriedly ran out wrapped in a bath towel, holding the watch that Xu Jingxing had left on the bathroom sink the night before.

"It seems we're both quite forgetful."

Xu Jingxing took the watch, put it on his wrist, and said with a smile.

"It's okay, just don't forget the important things," Zeng Li hinted.

"You said I'm an honest person who doesn't talk nonsense, so I have to keep up that image."

Zeng Li was still dripping wet, and the bath towel hastily wrapped around her body could hardly conceal her entire body.

If you focus on the top, you can't focus on the bottom; if you focus on the bottom, the top will jump out like a little rabbit running wild.

"Didn't you get enough last night?"

Noticing Xu Jingxing's gaze, Zeng Li chuckled and said.

"That's because you don't want to turn on the lights," Xu Jingxing said angrily.

"How about you come over tonight?"

Zeng Li tugged at Xu Jingxing's sleeve.

"It might not be possible tonight, I have some things to take care of." Xu Jingxing grabbed the hand that was clutching his clothes and squeezed it.

If it's a one-night stand, can it still be called a one-night stand if it happens for two days in a row?

It should be at least a day later!

"Hmph! I'm not free tonight!" Zeng Li darted back into the bathroom. "Remember to close the door properly for me!"

Hearing the door close, Zeng Li turned on the shower again.

She tilted her head back, letting the warm water splash on her forehead and trickle down her nose and chin.

The sound of rushing water drowned out all the sounds outside the window.

As the steam slowly rose, she went to the mirror and made a swipe on the blurry surface.

Looking at herself in the mirror, a sense of longing slowly rose in her eyes.

"Unspoken rules?"

Zeng Li's mind was filled with the images from last night.

"It doesn't seem that bad..."

......

After starting the car, Xu Jingxing first went to a hair salon to fix his hair, and then rushed to the 798 Art District.

The time agreed with Gu Ling and Yang Siwei was 10 a.m. Xu Jingxing checked the time and saw that there was still half an hour left, so he took out the key to the house that Liu Hui had rented to him, opened the door and went in.

On the day the contract was signed, Liu Hui only brought Xu Jingxing over for a quick look. The landlord had rented the place to sell secondhand clothes, but business wasn't good. He only lasted four months before he couldn't stay in business anymore. He had to pay the remaining eight months' rent, and after a long dispute, he was only refunded four months' rent.

Xu Jingxing repeatedly assured Liu Hui that he would rent the house for the full year, and even wrote it in black and white in the contract before Liu Hui finally rented it to him.

Upon opening the door, some clothes hangers and clotheslines left behind by the previous owner were still piled up in the store, and there was even a box of unwanted second-hand clothes piled up in the corner.

After casually flipping through a few pieces, Xu Jingxing couldn't help but curl his lip. Even having lived through the eras of non-mainstream and "kill-mat" fashion, he still couldn't quite agree with the taste of these clothes.

No wonder it went bankrupt!

He put the clothes back in the suitcase and dragged them to the trash can outside the door.

Let the scavengers around 798 also embrace the trend.

Let's see if we can produce a few more "Sharp Brothers"!

After walking around the house a few times, Xu Jingxing had a basic idea of ​​how to decorate it.

The basic idea behind this renovation was to achieve a lot with a little money.

Xu Jingxing was sweeping the floor inside when Gu Ling and Yang Siwei called one after the other. After he told them the specific house number, Yang Siwei came over first.

Gu Ling got lost in the park, and it took a lot of time just to find her.

It was already 10:30 when the three of them finally gathered at the studio entrance.

Several pieces of clothing, nailed to the wall, hung above Xu Jingxing's head, while a huge poster of clothing models stood behind him, and a carpet that was filthy beneath his feet.

Xu Jingxing stood on the carpet and set off a firecracker that had just been found in the warehouse.

With a muffled thud, Xu Jingxing announced with a hint of excitement:

"Xu Jingxing's personal studio was established today!"

After listening, Gu Ling adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and retorted, "The formalities haven't been completed yet, so it's not valid."

As expected of someone who studied law, they are indeed meticulous.

Xu Jingxing cleared his throat awkwardly, then looked at Yang Siwei: "Siwei, did you find out anything about the 'Performance Broker Qualification Certificate' that I asked you to inquire about?"

"We found out that if you're the only person in our studio right now, you don't need this certificate yet. You can just apply for individual actor registration with the cultural and tourism department."

"That's good." Xu Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"You might as well just register your certificate with someone else; that way you'll avoid the hassle of having to get it replaced later," Yang Siwei said, pursing his lips.

"No way!" Gu Ling said weakly from the side, "This is illegal. If we get caught, all our income might be confiscated."

Xu Jingxing felt a surge of relief. Sure enough, there had to be someone who understood the law. Only those who understood and abided by the law could be considered excellent citizens of China.

"I didn't ask earlier, who is this?" Yang Siwei asked.

"Oh right, I forgot about the self-introduction part." Xu Jingxing slapped his forehead sheepishly. "Sorry, this is my first time being a leader, I don't have much experience."

After Gu Ling and Yang Siwei introduced themselves, Xu Jingxing began assigning tasks for the first day.

"Lingling's first task today is to draft an employment contract. Siwei from the Seven Star Group's office building knows about it. Go to the investment promotion office together later. Just call him Brother Liu. Use his printer to print a few copies for backup. Once the formalities are completed and the official seal is obtained, just stamp it and you'll be done."

Since we've already given out red envelopes, we should definitely make use of them if possible.

"Lingling, your main task this week is to get all the paperwork done. Call me anytime if you need anything; my phone is on 24/7."

"Okay!" Gu Ling said.

Then Xu Jingxing looked at Yang Siwei and said, "Our main job is to oversee the renovation. We'll be responsible for both the soft furnishings and the hard furnishings. I'll transfer some money to you first. We haven't hired an accountant yet, so you'll have to fill in for now."

Yang Siwei nodded and gladly accepted the task.

"Okay! Let's get started now."

Xu Jingxing clapped his hands. "You guys go draft the contract, I'll continue cleaning."

Watching the two walk out together, Xu Jingxing picked up the broom again and started tidying up once more.

While working, I received a call from Tang Yan. The three of us had just boarded the train back to the capital and would arrive around nine o'clock the next morning.

Xu Jingxing originally planned to buy a plane ticket for Tang Yan to fly back, but since she had to travel with all three of them, Xu Jingxing was also prepared to buy plane tickets for Mao Junjie and Guo Zhenni as well. However, the two of them refused, insisting that they should not accept gifts without having done anything for them, which left Xu Jingxing speechless.

They're all fucking iron-willed; if you want to sit, then sit.

Since it's a sleeper ticket, sitting down isn't too bad.

Having promised to pick them up at the train station the next day, Xu Jingxing borrowed a ladder from his neighbor, climbed up, and took down the clothes that were nailed to the wall.

On a whim, Xu Jingxing put the clothes on and tried them on.

Oh shit!

This outfit is even uglier!

Quickly roll it into a ball and prepare to throw it in the trash can.

As soon as I arrived, I saw several old men scavenging for recyclables picking through clothes one by one.

Several foreign tourists were standing nearby, frantically snapping photos with their cameras and muttering broken Chinese under their breath.

"Art! Artistic performance!"

Xu Jingxing threw the clothes he had just taken off over, which triggered another frenzy of grabbing.

The camera instantly focused on Xu Jingxing.

"Take a picture! Quick! Organizer! This is it!"

Xu Jingxing was puzzled:

"You two foreigners should just speak your native language, why are you babbling on and on like that! Fuck you!"
