Chapter 367: Could the person from last night be Park Ji-yeon?
"what is this?"
Although Zhang Rui had a puzzled tone, he had already recognized what the object in his hand was.
And recalling the smell just now, he then looked up at Huang Xu, waiting for his answer.
Huang Xu felt a little embarrassed being stared at by Zhang Rui. He rubbed his nose and said something with gritted teeth.
"Maybe it wasn't cleaned up yesterday, so the previous occupant left it here?"
"Is it possible?"
"Although this is not a five-star hotel, it is still a four-star hotel. Plus, your room is a business suite. Do you think they would make such an obvious mistake?"
Zhang Rui obviously didn't believe Huang Xu's explanation and made the final move.
"And when I brought you here yesterday afternoon, you were sitting here, even though there was clearly nothing there."
"Tell me the truth, what did you do yesterday?"
"What else can I do?"
"It's just what you think!"
Huang Xu saw that he had no way to defend himself, so he just gave up and admitted it.
As classmates who have slept in the same room for three years, comrades who have eaten, slept, watched movies and studied together, who doesn’t know each other?
So Huang Xu had no intention of hiding it.
However, Zhang Rui frowned when he saw Huang Xu's appearance.
"Xiao Xu, do you know that you have a girlfriend?"
"Are you doing your girlfriend a favor by ordering takeout?"
"What would you do if they found out?"
"No, Rui Ge, what are you thinking about?"
Huang Xu looked helpless as he listened to Zhang Rui's scolding.
"This is China. Ordering takeout is illegal. Would I do that?"
"No, then what is this?"
Zhang Rui was also confused by Huang Xu's reaction. He then raised the piece of black silk in his hand, looking very puzzled.
"If you didn't order takeout, how did this end up here?"
"Just because I didn't call outside doesn't mean there aren't any women!"
Huang Xu snatched the pieces of stockings from his hand and threw them into the trash can next to him.
Zhang Rui didn't care about this at this time. He looked at Huang Xu curiously and began to analyze who the woman was.
"Since you said you didn't order takeout, if you didn't lie to me, then the woman should be from the show crew."
"However, there don't seem to be many people in the program group that you can look up to."
"That girl from yesterday, could she be one of Tara's group?"
Relying on his understanding of Huang Xu, Zhang Rui quickly locked his target on Tara and others.
Then the look in his eyes when he looked at Huang Xu changed.
Huang Xu was also shocked by Zhang Rui's analysis. He did not expect that Zhang Rui could lock on the correct target so quickly.
But the good thing is that he can only lock on here at most.
Therefore, Huang Xu did not answer Zhang Rui's question, but scanned the area again. After finding that there was nothing missing, he spoke to Zhang Rui.
"Okay, brother Rui, stop guessing. When the opportunity is right, I will introduce you to someone."
"No, are you serious?"
"Was it really one of them yesterday?"
Although Huang Xu did not give a formal answer, for Zhang Rui, this was already confirmed.
So much so that when he looked at Huang Xu, his eyes were full of disbelief, even a little unbelievable.
Yes, Huang Xu is now the boss of Tara and others, so it is natural and even reasonable for him to have unspoken rule over them.
But that's Tara after all, right?
Is he their idol during school days?
And don’t forget, Huang Xu has a girlfriend, Sunny, who has a good relationship with Tara and others.
However, just when Zhang Rui was confused about what was going on, Huang Xu's face was full of black lines and he quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, brother Rui, stop guessing. When the opportunity is right, I will introduce you to her."
"Let's go eat now."
"I heard that the breakfast here in Magic City is quite unique."
As he said that, he took Zhang Rui's hand and walked downstairs.
At the same time, Park Hyomin, who had just left Huang Xu, was being "interrogated" by team leader Park So Yeon.
"Hyomin, what happened yesterday? Why didn't you come back?"
"Didn't you say earlier that you wouldn't stay overnight there?"
"I'm sorry, unnie. I was so tired yesterday that I just slept there."
Park Hyomin's face was full of apology at this time, and she looked at her captain with gratitude.
Not to mention that she waited for me until the early morning yesterday before receiving the news that I would not go back, just the fact that she came to call me early this morning was already a life-saving favor for Park Hyomin.
At this moment, Park So-yeon was unable to say anything when she looked at Park Hyo-min's expression and her eyes full of gratitude.
I could only give this final explanation.
"Anyway, you should be more careful next time. If Jiyeon and Ju-ri find out, you know the consequences."
"Yes, thank you, unnie."
"Okay, hurry up and wash up and put on some makeup, we'll go have breakfast soon."
“If Jiyeon and the others find out, I won’t be able to save you anymore.”
"Thank you, Ernie. You're so kind."
As Park Hyomin said this, she rushed to Park Soyeon, and then kissed Park Soyeon to express her gratitude.
Unfortunately, her kiss of thanks was unsuccessful.
When he was just a few centimeters away from success, Park So-yeon pushed him away.
"You didn't kiss Huang Xu enough yesterday. If you want to kiss, go find Huang Xu. Don't bother me."
"Hey, unnie, isn't this a way of thanking you?"
"Not only did you not appreciate it, but you also said this to me. It really hurts my heart."
"I told you before, Huang Xu and I are just a deal, how could this happen?"
"You know whether it's a deal or not. Also, be careful. Don't forget to use concealer here."
Park Soyeon looked speechlessly at Park Hyomin who was still quibbling, and then gently tapped her collarbone.
"What happened here?"
After Park Hyomin was called, she looked at it curiously and then let out a scream.
"Ah, how could this happen?"
Then she quickly ran to the bathroom, unzipped her shirt, and looked in the mirror, carefully observing the very conspicuous strawberry mark on her snow-white collarbone.
"What? How could this happen?"
"How come I don't know when we kissed?"
Park Hyomin looked at the reddish-brown mark on her collarbone in distress, and her brain began to recall yesterday's memories, wanting to know when this mark was created.
After thinking for a long time, until his face turned red, he finally remembered how this mark appeared.
And not only this mark, she also discovered other marks on her body.
Just as Park Hyomin was thinking about how to cover up the marks so that she would not be discovered by her teammates, Huang Xu and Zhang Rui had already arrived at a nearby breakfast shop.
"This salty soy milk doesn't taste as weird as I imagined."
Zhang Rui carefully tasted the salty soy milk, a specialty of Shanghai. After a small sip, he found that the taste was not as bad as he had imagined.
Of course, it just tastes good.
As a person from the Central Plains who drinks sweet soy milk all year round, this was his first time drinking this salty soy milk, and he was able to give a review that it was not bad and tasted okay, which was actually very good.
Huang Xu didn't say anything about Zhang Rui's evaluation. He just quietly added a little chili to the salty soy milk and took a sip.
Then he took another bite of the scallion pancake, which was crispy and fragrant with onion flavor, and an expression of satisfaction immediately appeared on his face.
After a tiring night, how can you not be satisfied with this high-protein, high-carb food?
In addition to soy milk and scallion pancakes, there are also rice balls and pan-fried dumplings, which can be said to be a standard carbohydrate meal.
Zhang Rui, who was sitting opposite Huang Xu, had basically vomited out everything he had eaten while drinking yesterday, so his stomach was empty now. Therefore, the two hungry people quickly finished their breakfast and had time to chat on the way back to the hotel.
Especially Zhang Rui, who had been holding it in all the way and was about to reach the hotel, and finally couldn't help but pull Huang Xu.
"Xiao Xu, logically speaking, I shouldn't make any comments or suggestions about your affairs."
"But as a friend and a brother, I still want to remind you."
"You already have girlfriends, and they are Sunny and Goo Hara, so don't mess with other people."
"I know that your current status and position are extraordinary. It has reached a level that I can hardly imagine."
"Maybe in your eyes, those idol stars are just your playthings."
"But I still want to say that Sunny and Goo Hara are both very good girlfriends. Even though I've only met them once or twice, I can feel that they really like you."
"Don't let them down."
"What? Rui Ge, what are you thinking about?"
Huang Xu looked at Zhang Rui speechlessly, his face full of helplessness.
When he was eating just now, he realized that Zhang Rui wanted to say something to him, but was just a little embarrassed.
After waiting all this time, he finally spoke, and in the end it was just advice to himself.
This made Huang Xu a little disappointed.
But looking at his dull expression, Huang Xu could only start explaining.
"Brother Rui, we have known each other for several years. Do you think I am the kind of person who will abandon you after having sex with you?"
"Then why are you?"
"That's up to you to guess."
Huang Xu smiled mysteriously at Zhang Rui and continued.
"But I can assure you that I have not betrayed them, and I will not abandon them."
"and you."
After listening to Huang Xu's words, Zhang Rui became even more confused.
Obviously, Huang Xu's explanation just now did not allow him to sort out what happened in the meantime.
However, looking at the identification in Huang Xu's eyes, Zhang Rui knew that Huang Xu was still the same Huang Xu, and his personality had not changed because of the change in status.
So I was completely relieved.
Then he didn't ask anything, but followed Huang Xu silently and returned to the hotel.
The two people who had just entered the lobby happened to meet the program crew members who had finished breakfast and were about to gather out for filming.
"Hello PD Jin, when did you come back?"
"PD Kim, long time no see, hello."
"PD Jin, you."
In the program crew, members who were more familiar with Huang Xu began to greet Huang Xu and say hello.
Although Huang Xu has resigned from the position of chief PD and is no longer filming with the program crew, as the program's producer, he still holds the power of life and death.
And not only the staff, but even the artists participating in the recording, including Tara, stood up and greeted Huang Xu after seeing him.
Huang Xu spent a few minutes greeting everyone one by one, and then asked Park Soo-geun who came to him.
"What's the shooting plan for today?"
"PD Kim, we're going to the concession area here this morning to take pictures of the old houses and taste some local delicacies."
"Then in the afternoon and evening, I go to the Bund to take some photos of the night scenes and the current nightlife of young people."
"clear."
Huang Xu nodded, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Park Soo Geun.
"Can we finish the filming tonight earlier? Then I'll treat everyone to dinner."
"Thank you for your hard work during this period of filming."
"I'll treat you all to dinner tonight and reward you all."
"It should be possible. There are not many shooting tasks today."
Park Soo-geun thought for a moment, nodded at Huang Xu, and then said to Huang Xu.
"Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the staff."
"Well, go ahead and talk to them first. Come on, let's try to finish it early today."
"Inside."
Park Soo-geun nodded to Huang Xu, then turned around and went back to tell the staff the good news.
More than a minute later, Huang Xu heard the staff thanking him.
"Long live!!!"
"PD Kim is so awesome, long live PD Kim!"
"Okay, okay, you all have worked hard. Please work harder today and try to finish early. I'll be waiting for you in the evening."
"!"
(fighting)
After shouting "Come on" with everyone, Huang Xu came to Tara and the others.
"Long time no see everyone. I was away for a few days. How was your shoot?"
"Not bad, PD Park and PD Lin are still very responsible."
At this time, Park So-yeon pretended that she had just met Huang Xu. She did not mention that they had met in the morning and started telling Huang Xu about it.
“After you left, we went to Guangzhou and took some photos.”
"Hmm, it seems you have a pretty good opinion of both of them."
Listening to Park So-yeon's answer, Huang Xu nodded continuously.
In fact, he had heard these words from both sides yesterday. First, Zhang Rui, then Park Soo-geun and Lin Yongzhe all reported to him, but he still listened very seriously.
He also wanted to understand the situation from many aspects and angles so that he could grasp the completeness of the matter.
So after listening to Park So-yeon's answer, he asked the others directly.
"what about you?"
"Your captain seems to be quite satisfied with the two PDs. What do you think of them?"
"Us?"
Several people looked at each other, some of them not understanding what Huang Xu meant, since Park So Yeon had already reported it.
However, one of them recalled what happened in the previous few days and did not care about anything else. He spoke directly to Huang Xu.
"I feel like they are just like that, at least not as good as you."
“Oh, what do you mean, Jiyeon?”
Huang Xu looked at Park Ji-yeon with some surprise, wanting to hear what she wanted to say.
Park Ji-yeon ignored her teammates' eye contact, turned to look at the staff not far away, then leaned close to Huang Xu's ear and whispered.
"Just a few days ago, when we were filming, they forced us to eat mice and insects."
"Also, they are very rigid when handling things. They are not as flexible as when you were here."
"right!"
Huang Xu listened to Park Ji-yeon's complaints and nodded slightly without expressing any opinions.
However, looking at Park Ji-yeon who was about to come to him to complain, he felt something was a little uneasy.
But Park Ji-yeon was talking excitedly now, and Huang Xu couldn't avoid her, so he could only listen to Park Ji-yeon's report patiently.
And I was thinking in my mind how to comfort them later.
After all, they are our own artists, and we will have to rely on them to make money in the future.
Some necessary comfort work is still necessary.
Especially these small complaints or conflicts in private, if handled well, will have a very good effect of winning over artists like them.
"It seems that I have really turned bad!"
Just when Huang Xu was sighing inwardly that he was slowly becoming a bad person and his way of thinking had completely become that of a capitalist.
Zhang Rui, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't help but make a guess when he saw Park Ji-yeon almost getting close to Huang Xu.
"The person from last night, wasn't it Park Ji-yeon?"
