CHAPTER XXXI
"So, why did you run into Ji Ze, didn't you drink with Mr. Mu at the bar downstairs?"
In Chen Mo's guest room, Yang Qindong glanced at Chen Mo who was sitting on the sofa with an innocent face, and then at Ji Ze, who was thrown on the bed and slept like a dead pig, and frowned and asked.
"That...... After drinking, I saw that it was still early, so I went to the nightclub for a spin. Then I ran into him and almost took advantage of him. Chen Mo pointed at Ji Ze as he spoke, and did not forget to defend himself: "I didn't do anything, I didn't even order a cocktail, I rescued him and came back." I also called you, but you didn't answer. β
At the critical moment, Chen Mo did not forget to accuse the agent of "losing contact", and by the way, he told the story of his "heroic rescue of beauty" in the bar.
"So not only did you go to the bar, but you also beat people?" Yang Qindong quickly summed up the key points, looked at Chen Mo and hurriedly put on a look of "I am a righteous person", and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I know that you kid is unreliable." Sure enough......"
Chen Mo looked at Yang Qindong picking up his mobile phone and wallet and preparing to go out, got up and asked, "Do you want to go out?" So what does he do? You don't want me to take care of this drunkard, do you? β
"Aren't you a hero? Since it's the beauty that you saved, you have to take care of it while kneeling, okay? I'm not his agent, where can I have this time to be a nanny for him, I still have to go and settle the aftermath for you-"
"Don't be so alarmist. I just said that we are good partners with tacit understanding, and if something happens, we will grit our teeth and take care of the aftermath for me. With your attitude, how can I trust the rest of my life to you, oops-"
"You kid still dare to play tricks on me." Yang Qindong slapped Chen Mo on the top of his head angrily, and rubbed it vigorously, "I said that newcomers who have just debuted should pay attention to their image, tell me how many times you have been fighting in a bar." β
"This time it's a special situation, I can't watch Ji Ze being taken away by them. Although this person is not very good, his temper is rotten and his skills are not good, but everyone knows each other, hey-" Chen Mo looked at Yang Qindong, who left the hotel in a hurry without waiting for him to finish speaking, he could only scratch his hair in annoyance, thought about it, and called Xiao Ding.
"You're not asleep right now, are you? Come to my room, I have an important task for you! β
A few minutes later, Chen Mo handed over the drunk Ji Ze to Xiao Ding with a relieved expression, and he called the hotel's housekeeping department and asked the waiter to come up and change the sheets and bedding.
Xiao Ding couldn't resist Chen Mo, so he could only take Ji Tianwang back to his guest room with a bitter face. Different from the luxury suites of artists and agents, the guest rooms opened by Banana Terrace for artist assistants are all business standard rooms of double rooms, because they both came from Huajing and took the same plane, Xiao Ding and Fei Yuchen's assistant Xiao Meng were also arranged in the same room.
Xiao Meng, who just graduated from college, is a Huajing man with a somewhat babbling personality, and when he saw Xiao Ding only going up, but dragging the drunken Ji Tianwang back, Xiao Meng immediately ran to the two of them in a daze, and helped Xiao Ding settle Ji Ze, and then asked, "What's going on?" Brother Ding, weren't you called up by Brother Chen? How could it be ......"
"That's my important task tonight." Xiao Ding stood on the ground with his hands on his hips, looked at Ji Ze, who was drunk and unconscious on the bed, and said with a headache: "Take care of him!" β
Early the next morning, when Chen Mo packed up and went downstairs for breakfast, he saw Lin Xia and Huang Lixin sneaking in front of him, and said, "I've heard that you saved Ji Tianwang in the nightclub last night and took care of him for one night, right?" β
"Do you think it's possible?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Even if he is a big beauty, I will not spend a night with a drunk woman." Not to mention that he is not. I just brought him back, and then I handed him over to Dingβ"
"Handed it over to Xiao Ding?" Lin Xia asked with a surprised face, "Doesn't Xiao Ding live in a business standard room?" It's already very crowded to live two big men in such a small room, and you actually stuffed Ji Ze into it...... You're too cruel, aren't you? β
"Not only that," Huang Lixin interjected with a smile on his face: "I heard that he ruined Brother Dong's good deeds last night!" β
"Wow!"
Chen Mo glanced at what he said was a pity, but the expressions on his face were more gloating than one another, and he pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "You can laugh a little more fakely, it's okay." β
It wasn't until breakfast was eaten that Yang Qindong hurried back to the hotel. He was followed by four middle-aged men with sturdy bodies and calm temperaments. In Yang's words, it was "a temporary assistant." β
Chen Mo was a little inexplicable, he didn't know what Yang Qindong was doing when he went out and hired four assistants?
Besides, although those four people are dressed casually, their every move is neat and neat, and they act toughly and iron-blooded, so they are like bodyguards more than assistants, okay?
"This is a necessary measure. You don't want to think about how big the basket you poked out last night. Yang Qindong returned to the guest room, and the flight attendant who stayed in Yang Qindong's room last night was long gone, leaving only a mess.
Chen Mo glanced at the messy guest room with a little weakness, and said to Yang Qindong: "Then there is no need to be so exaggerated. Just those rotten people last night didn't add up enough for me to kick me. Is it necessary to put up such a big battle? β
"Assistants aren't hired for those people, it's for ...... Forget it, I can't sue you for the time being, I want to teach you a lesson, so that you can deeply understand that as an artist, you can't make hasty decisions in every move. Yang Qindong opened the wardrobe and took out the clothes to be changed, stared at Chen Mo and emphasized: "Especially you can't make decisions behind your agent's back." β
"Do you need to be so serious? I'm learning to be a good person and do good deeds. Chen Mo looked at Yang Qindong's serious appearance, and inexplicably lacked confidence.
He thought about it for a moment, and simply brought up something else. "Forget it, don't talk about it. I wanted to go shopping before I got on the plane. I finally came out once, and I had to bring some gifts back to my family. This is always okay, right? β
Yang Qindong took his clothes into the bathroom, turned his head and asked Chen Mo before closing the door, "Don't you ask how yesterday's matter was handled?" β
"No need, Brother Dong is out of the horse, is there anything else you don't worry about?" Chen Mo also knew that he was at a loss, and said with flattery on his face.
Yang Qindong chuckled, changed his words, and said, "Since you want to buy something, hurry up and go back and prepare." The plane at two o'clock in the afternoon can not be late. β
Chen Mo nodded, and before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Can we still meet that flight attendant when we go back?" β
Yang Qindong turned his head and looked at Chen Mo expressionlessly.
Chen Mo blinked, turned around and slipped away.
Since you want to bring gifts for your family, of course, it makes sense to bring some local souvenirs. For Hunan Province, the most famous is Hunan embroidery, one of the four famous embroideries.
Although he couldn't appreciate the beauty of Hunan embroidery (to be precise, most of the classical handicrafts), Chen Mo still bought a few framed embroideries according to the local customs, and then bought a few good chrysanthemum stones, and then made a lot of effort to buy a few large bags of special snacks in Hunan Province, and finally returned to the airport satisfied.
There are many young people who look to be between seventeen and eighteen to their thirties gathered in the airport hall, most of them are fans of Ji Ze, of course, there are also fans of Huang Lixin, Lin Xia, Fei Yuchen, Sun Yuan, and Chen Mo. There were even some media reporters mixed in, holding all kinds of billboards, mobile phones and β‘β‘ cannons in their hands. The sound of screams and shutter presses was endless, mixed with the sounds of Ji Ze's bodyguard assistants and airport security personnel maintaining order.
When Yang Qindong and the others entered the hall, they all subconsciously frowned when they looked at such a restless scene of crowds.
Chen Mo glanced at the sign in the airport hall indicating that the plane was delayed, approached Yang Qindong and whispered, "Either let's withdraw first-"
Before she finished speaking, the fans who had been staring at the airport gate immediately discovered Chen Mo's figure, she subconsciously screamed, pointed in the direction of Chen Mo and shouted, "Chen Mo is here." β
Hula, the crowd immediately crowded over. Yang Qindong and Xiao Ding, as well as the four assistants who had just been hired, blocked Chen Mo's surroundings one after another, and saw that fans had already crowded up, holding mobile phones and cameras to take pictures continuously, and some holding flowers and gifts to be sent here, holding autographs and pens to sign, and those who were grateful to Chen Mo......
Chen Mo was taken aback, and he had no idea why everyone's reaction had become so crazy overnight...... The show recorded yesterday wouldn't have come out so quickly, would it?
"What's going on?" Chen Mo turned his head and asked Yang Qindong.
Yang Qindong disagreed, leaned close to Chen Mo's ear and whispered: "Since it is a hero who saves the United States, he should be treated as a hero deserves." Do you think I'm going to let my entertainers do thankless things? β
Chen Mo didn't know what expression to use to face Yang Qindong. Although he knew that Yang Qindong had always had the means, he really didn't expect him to be able to do this.
Yang Qindong glanced at Chen Mo and whispered with a smile: "It's nothing. You saved King Ji Tianwang's innocence yesterday. In return, his fans appreciate you and rightfully fall in love with you. β
As soon as the words fell, I saw that Ji Ze and his agent team outside the crowd also squeezed over with great effort, and at that moment, the two parties were like the teams that officially met with the division, and their aura exploded instantly.
Qin Yuqiong glanced at Yang Qindong, who was guarding Chen Mo in the crowd, but there was no emotion on his face and smiled enthusiastically: "Why are Brother Dong and Xiaomo so late?" It's almost time for security. β
Yang Qindong also smiled: "Isn't this just right?" β
After a pause, Yang Qindong deliberately glanced at the several large bags of "local products" purchased by Chen Mo, and said in front of the media: "It was our family Chen Mo who said that he came to Hunan Province for the first time and wanted to bring some gifts back to his family, teachers and friends. β
When Qin Yuqiong heard this, she could only smile and say, "Yes, I didn't expect Xiaomo to be so filial to his parents at such a young age." β
The two didn't say a few words, and the media reporters with β‘β‘ short guns also crowded over to do interviews. In view of the fact that the video of Chen Mo's "Hero Saving Beauty" in the bar last night had already been recorded by the guests at the scene with their mobile phones and uploaded to the Internet for the first time, and later Yang Qindong hired a water army to notify the propaganda team to urgently do public relations and guide public opinion and discussion, now people all over the world know that Chen Mo and Ji Ze have a good relationship, at least it is also a relationship where they can sit down and have a drink after work. Of course, I once again saw that Chen Mo's kung fu was good.
Most of the reporters who came forward to interview Ji Ze and Qin Yuqiong were reporters who had been paid by Yang Qindong, and most of the questions asked revolved around the relationship between the two, as well as Ji Ze and his brokerage team, and the company's views on Chen Mo's righteous action last night.
Qin Yuqiong didn't expect that Ji Ze would poke out such a big basket just for one night, the most important thing is that she didn't know at all at the first time of the incident, so she could only let Yang Qindong hire water army and media public relations, and she was very passive until now.
In the face of these aggressive reporters, Qin Yuqiong, who hated her teeth so much, could only admit that Ji Ze and Chen Mo hit it off at first sight when they were recording the show, and their relationship was very good. followed the tone of the media and praised Chen Mo for a while, and finally asked Ji Ze to take several photos with Chen Mo in front of the media, and then hurriedly left the media under the pretext of "I have to go through the security check and board the plane when the time comes".
Looking at the Ji Ze fans in the airport hall who were constantly expressing their gratitude to Chen Mo, Qin Yuqiong's aggrieved heart was about to drip blood. She knew that after such a show, the media and the outside world would definitely identify Chen Mo as Ji Ze's life-saving benefactor in the future, which also meant that from now on, Chen Mo's brokerage team could openly tie up Ji Ze's publicity and hype, and Ji Ze must cooperate, which means that Ji Ze's brokerage team must not make small moves against Chen Mo in private. To do otherwise is to be ungrateful.
Although today's China has gotten rid of the old routine of "ruling the world with filial piety" and "governing the country with the benevolence of the Son of Heaven" in the pre-Ming Dynasty, for the general public, whether a person's moral standard is high or not is still very important.
It would be bad if a public figure like Ji Ze was exposed to an "ungrateful" scandal. Yan zhΓ²ng's words will definitely affect Ji Ze's reputation and future, after all, a "humanoid giant baby" with low emotional intelligence, unsociable, and petty temper can barely be reluctantly publicized as "cute", but if a person is identified as "ungrateful", it is morally flawed, and no one will like such a person.
After going through the security check, there were fewer passengers around. Qin Yuqiong looked around the empty place, smiled and said to Yang Qindong: "Brother Dong is very capable. β
Yang Qindong also replied with a smile: "This is not a skill. As an agent, I should always keep track of the whereabouts of artists. Standing up for public relations and other work when artists need it most is just the most basic professionalism as an agent. Isn't it? β
Qin Yuqiong was dumbfounded, looked at Yang Qindong for a long time, and then nodded and smiled: "Of course it is." β
As for Chen Mo, when Yang Qindong said the sentence "The agent should always keep track of the whereabouts of the artist", he was already looking at him with a face of "β_β", and he really didn't want to spit out the scoundrel behavior of not answering his phone last night.
Ji Ze walked to Chen Mo's side, stared at Chen Mo with a sideways face for a long time, and said abruptly: "I won't thank you." Don't you thinkβ"
"What misconceptions do you have about me?" Chen Mo interrupted Ji Ze's words, put his hands in his pockets and kept walking forward, without looking at Ji Ze's raised eyebrows and said: "It's my business to bring you out of the nightclub last night, what do you think is your business, I think the relationship between the two of us should not be familiar enough to share each other's feelings." β
After speaking, Chen Mo quickened his pace and walked to Yang Qindong's side, and said casually: "Let's go." β
Yang Qindong nodded politely at Qin Yuqiong, and strode behind Chen Mo.
When the plane arrived in Huajing, it was not yet five o'clock in the evening. Because Chen Mo told him in advance, Chen's father and Chen mother did not come to the airport to pick up the plane. The situation at Huajing Airport is similar to that at Shashi Airport, and it is also congested by fans who came to pick up the airport.
Chen Mo got into the nanny car under the protection of Yang Qindong and several assistants. As soon as the car drove onto the airport expressway, Chen's mother's phone called. actually asked Chen Mo not to go home first, the reason was that the airport was too far away from the film and television city, and Chen Mo had just gotten off the plane and should have a good rest. So ask Chen Mo to go back to the apartment to settle down first, and Chen's father and Chen's mother will rush to the apartment later to make dinner for Chen Mo.
Because he often practices acting skills in the system space, this experience makes Chen Mo extremely sensitive to human feelings. He keenly noticed that Chen's mother's behavior was a little abnormal, and Chen's mother's voice on the phone was also a little wrong.
All kinds of disobedience made Chen Mohu frown suspiciously, he didn't say anything to Chen's mother on the phone, but after hanging up the phone, he asked the driver to drive back to the restaurant directly. Facing Yang Qindong's scrutinizing gaze, Chen Mo casually explained: "Of course, you have to go home as soon as you come back from a business trip. Besides, I bought so many things, so I have to take them back in time to divide them. You can't toss back and forth with so many souvenirs, right? β
As for Chen Mo's speculation in his heart, he didn't say it.
Yang Qindong shrugged his shoulders and did not express any opinion.
Thinking was a little confused, in order to avoid blind thinking, Chen Mo simply began to divide things in the nanny's car, first found a small ornament of chrysanthemum stone and handed it to Yang Qindong, "Yours." β
"Mine?" Yang Qindong stretched out his hand to take the chrysanthemum stone, but asked, "Why do you want to give me something?" Didn't the two of us come back together? β
"Who let me know few people, let's make up the numbers for you." Chen Mo said casually, handed a box of Junshan silver needles to Xiao Ding, and by the way, took a few packets of spicy goods and handed them to Yang Qindong, asking him to give them to the four assistants hired temporarily.
Yang Qindong looked at Chen Mo's busy chattering appearance and suddenly smiled.
By the time the nanny car drove back to the restaurant, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Mo felt that something was wrong when he first approached the restaurant, but there was no one in the restaurant that was usually crowded, and through the glass window, he could see Chen's father and Chen's mother and a few people they didn't know seemed to be arguing about something.
Chen Mo's heart sank, thinking of Chen's mother's attitude on the phone, he immediately jumped out of the nanny car and pushed the door in, and asked the person who was arguing with Chen's father and Chen's mother, "What are you doing?" β
Those people turned around, and when they saw Chen Mo, their eyes lit up suddenly, and they blurted out: "Chen Mo, you really didn't die!" β
