Chapter 109 Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan
"The woman down the mountain is a tiger, but she's actually quite cute..."
"Beep beep!"
Ji Qingxu, who was getting out of the taxi and walking towards the school gate, heard the sound of a horn behind him and turned around. He raised an eyebrow when he saw an Audi A6 slowly driving towards the school gate.
When the Audi stopped and the door opened, Shi Jiqing took a closer look at the driver's seat and saw the familiar figure getting out of the car, but he didn't recognize him.
"Wolong, you're up so early? Out for breakfast?"
As Liu Yifei greeted him and walked quickly toward him, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "The air in the dormitory isn't good, so I came out to get some fresh air."
Hearing this, Liu Yifei was taken aback. "Is the air in the dorm bad? Did you sleep with your doors closed last night?"
"Yeah, what if a bad guy comes in?"
"Oh! Are there bad guys at our school?"
"Of course! Don't you close the door when you sleep?"
"I'll lock it. Aren't there four people in your dorm? Are you scared too?"
"Who would know if I was asleep?"
"Oh yeah...did you have breakfast?"
"No, are you going to treat me to breakfast?"
"Sure, what would you like to eat?"
"Go after you finish your morning class."
"After morning class, I'll treat you. You can invite Zhu Yawen and the others, and I'll invite Papa and Sister Yutong."
As soon as Liu Yifei finished speaking, she saw Ji Qingxu stop.
Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at her with a smile, Liu Yifei asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
After saying that, he looked down and examined himself.
Ji Qingxu looked up and gestured, "Over there."
Liu Yifei turned her head and looked over, asking blankly, "What?"
Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "Do you think I'm lying to you, so you want to come with me to the dormitory to investigate the air quality?"
As soon as Ji Qingxu finished speaking, Liu Yifei glanced at the boys' dormitory in front of her and immediately realized what he meant. Her face turned bright red, and she waved shyly as she ran quickly away, saying, "Let's have breakfast together later."
Watching Liu Yifei flee the scene as quickly as a little rabbit, Ji Qingxu burst into laughter.
This girl seems kind of adorably silly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Seeing Liu Yifei run into the dormitory, her face flushed and panting heavily, Jiang Yiyan, who had just come out of the bathroom, asked in confusion, "Qianqian, why did you run so fast?"
After saying that, he glanced at the alarm clock on the table. "I won't be late. There's still half an hour before my morning class."
Noticing that the other two in the dormitory were also looking at her curiously, Liu Yifei blinked and slapped her forehead. "Oh dear, I thought I was late, but I must have misread the time. It's okay, I'll just use the restroom."
After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she quickly went into the bathroom. The three girls in the dormitory looked at each other, shook their heads, and sat back down in their respective seats to start putting on makeup.
After turning on the tap, Liu Yifei cautiously glanced towards the door and let out a long sigh. Thinking about what had just happened, Liu Yifei couldn't help but fan her cheeks with her hand. How embarrassing! That Wolong was so mean, he didn't even warn me... uh, no, he did warn me.
But when Liu Yifei thought of the smile on Ji Qingxu's face just now, she couldn't help but pout. "Hmph, you bad guy, you must have done it on purpose."
Thinking about having to treat Ji Qingxu and the others to breakfast later, Liu Yifei frowned with a troubled expression. "Won't Wolong laugh at me later? What if Wolong tells his roommates about this? Will they all laugh at me at breakfast? Should I treat them to breakfast another day?"
The moment the idea popped into Liu Yifei's head, she shook her head vigorously. No, she hadn't even offered to treat him to a late-night snack. If she broke her promise about breakfast too, everyone would think she was stingy.
But what if...?
"Sissi, are you done yet?"
Hearing Jiang Yiyan's call from outside the door, Liu Yifei, who was deep in thought, instantly snapped out of it. "Okay, I'll be right out."
,
After pressing the flush button, Liu Yifei turned on the tap to wash her hands, looked in the mirror, took a couple of deep breaths, and then opened the bathroom door with a normal expression.
"Sissi, are you alright?"
Seeing Jiang Yiyan looking at her with concern, Liu Yifei smiled happily and said, "It's okay, let's go to our morning class."
""
"Okay, I'll wash my hands."
"Eight hundred soldiers rushed up the north slope..."
Looking at Ji Qingxu, who was loudly reciting tongue twisters in the distance, Liu Yifei cautiously glanced at Zhu Yawen and the other two who were also practicing. Seeing that the four of them were focused on reciting the tongue twisters and none of them were looking at her, Liu Yifei quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Wolong probably didn't tell them, right?
"Sissi!"
"what!"
Seeing Liu Yifei's startled expression, Jiang Yiyan looked at her strangely, "What's wrong? Why are you so frightened?"
Liu Yifei quickly waved her hand, "Nothing, nothing, just practicing, eight hundred soldiers running up the north slope..."
'
Seeing Liu Yifei practicing tongue twisters loudly, Jiang Yiyan smiled and glanced at her, then looked at Ji Qingxu in the distance. Remembering Liu Yifei's strange behavior earlier, Jiang Yiyan felt a surge of suspicion. What's wrong with this girl? Could she have fallen for Ji Qingxu? Had her previous attempts to prevent this notion failed?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yiyan glanced at Liu Yifei again before continuing her morning practice.
"Are you full? Order more if you're still hungry."
Zhu Yawen waved her hand, "I'm full. This is the first time I've ever eaten breakfast so much that I'm stuffed."
Seeing Liu Yifei looking over, Luo Jin and Lu Fang Sheng also shook their heads to indicate that they were full.
When Liu Yifei finally turned her gaze to Ji Qingxu, Ji Qingxu wiped her mouth with a tissue and smiled, saying, "I'm full, thank you for breakfast, Yifei."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei smiled happily, "It's good that you're full. Papa, Sister Yutong, you..."
'
"No, no, no, I've already drunk two bottles of milk, that's enough."
"Me too. Now that we've finished eating, let's go back to the dorm and get our textbooks for class."
"Yes, let's go."
The group then left the cafeteria and headed towards their respective dormitories.
Back in the dormitory, Zhu Yawen asked in confusion, "Don't you guys think Liu Yifei is acting strange today? She's too enthusiastic."
Luo Jin and Lu Fang Sheng exchanged a glance and nodded.
"Yes, maybe she felt bad for not treating me to a late-night snack before, so she did this?"
"It should be. I remember Liu Yifei is only 17 years old this year, still a little girl. She must feel embarrassed that she didn't treat me to a meal before, so she wanted to make it up to me."
Hearing the three's discussion, Ji Qingxu chuckled and picked up his books, saying, "Let's go, let's go to class."
Thinking of Liu Yifei's enthusiastic manner that morning, Ji Qingxu couldn't help but chuckle. This girl had definitely never been so enthusiastic before. However, thinking about how Liu Yifei started off a little awkward but gradually became more skilled, Ji Qingxu pondered. This girl didn't seem to be a pushover. Perhaps her family environment had influenced her.
That's true. If he were really a wooden stake, he wouldn't have been famous for so many years and would still be a top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry in 2025.
"Hey Chicken Bro, any news about your audition?"
"Yes, they'll let me audition for the second round in a while."
"Holy crap, that's awesome, they actually made it to the second round."
"You flatter me, you're just average. You're only really good."
"Damn it, I shouldn't have asked you."
"Hahaha!"
"Okay, Director Zhang, I won't bother you any longer. I'll visit you again when I get back to Beijing... Bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Xiaoming let out a long sigh of relief, stared at Zhang Jizong's phone number on his phone for a while, and rubbed his forehead.
The Return of the Condor Heroes!
Thinking of the name of the drama, Huang Xiaoming's eyes gleamed with ambition. He was determined to get the male lead in the drama, no matter what means he had to use.
Huang Xiaoming then dialed his agent Zhou Siwei's number, "Brother Zhou, did I disturb your rest? Haha, I'm still on set. It's okay, nothing's going on on set. I'm doing very well. It's just that 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' is going well... Okay, thank you for your help. Keep in touch. I'll go back to Beijing as soon as I finish filming 'The Emperor of Han Dynasty 2'. Um, bye."
In a restaurant in Beijing, after hanging up the phone, Zhang Jizong glanced at Huang Xiaoming's name on his phone, put the phone in his pocket, and walked into the private room.
"Producer Zhang!"
Looking at Nie Yuan, who stood up and looked at him respectfully, Zhang Jizong said with a smile, "That's enough for today. I have other things to do. We'll contact each other again later."
"Okay, I'll see Producer Zhang off."
Zhang Jizong waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite, I'll be going now. I'll let you know if there's any news."
"Yes, Producer Zhang, I'm ready to answer your call anytime."
"Um."
After seeing Zhang Jizong off to his car, Nie Yuan returned to the private room, sat down, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
"Brother Li, do you think Director Zhang has taken a liking to me?"
The agent standing next to him smiled and said, "He must have taken a liking to it, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to come to dinner. Don't worry, I'll keep in touch with Director Zhang at all times, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
Nie Yuan nodded slowly upon hearing this.
"Do you think we should do something?"
Upon hearing this, the agent tentatively asked, "You mean to give a gift?"
Nie Yuan was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "No, although Zhang Jizong no longer works at the TV station, the nature of his company, Huaxia Audiovisual, is not ordinary. Giving him gifts is too risky. Do you think I should try to improve my chances by focusing on the role I play?"
"Um...that's fine, but I think we should still bring a small gift. How about something elegant?"
Nie Yuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Refined? You mean antiques, works of art, and the like?"
"Yes, these things aren't as flashy, and they look more upscale. What do you think?"
"What kind of gift should we give? A gift costing tens of thousands of yuan is not presentable. Giving something more expensive is not only a matter of how much it costs, but more importantly, what if we end up with a fake? Wouldn't that mean we've spent the money and offended the person?"

, "
Upon hearing this, the agent fell silent.
Glancing at his agent, Nie Yuan subtly frowned. If he had signed with Ciwen now, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble and be so subservient. But thinking about how Ciwen had initially contacted him so enthusiastically, only to ignore him later, a shadow fell over Nie Yuan's face.
Thinking of Ji Qingxu, Nie Yuan took a light puff and narrowed his eyes. Back then, when the role of Luo Cheng in "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" was snatched away, Nie Yuan made a special inquiry. At that time, Ji Qingxu was an artist under Hai Run Film and Television. After learning the news, Nie Yuan had no choice but to accept it, no matter how unwilling he was.
However, it was later learned that Ji Qingxu was a marginal figure in Hai Run. Unexpectedly, he became an artist under Ciwen Entertainment not long after, and at the age of 19, he became the male lead in the multi-million dollar costume martial arts drama "Ping Zong Xia Ying". Even more exaggeratedly, he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage this year.
I thought I was good enough that my first role after graduating from university was as the male lead in "Wrong Carriage, Right Groom," but I never expected this guy to be even better than me.
Thinking of Ci Wen's inconsistent attitude, Nie Yuan subconsciously bit his cigarette butt. It must have been this guy who interfered, otherwise Ci Wen's attitude wouldn't have changed so much.
If you join Ciwen, these resources should all belong to you.
So Nie Yuan looked at his agent and said, "Go and find out if Ji Qingxu from Ciwen has auditioned for the role of Yang Guo?"
Upon hearing this instruction, the agent nodded and immediately replied, "Okay, I'll go and find out right away."
