Jiang Lan really didn’t understand these things in the entertainment industry and could only attribute the huge contrast between Bai You’s real life and the online reviews to the exaggeration of the entertainment industry. He then shook the three tickets and asked, “You really don’t want any? Then I’ll go ask others if they want any.”
“Where did you get these tickets?” Xue Meng finally remembered to ask the most important question. Fans couldn’t even get a single concert ticket, but Jiang Lan was able to give away three VIP seats. Isn’t that too extravagant?!
He said, “Why don’t you just sell it? Post it on Weibo or Xianyu, it should be easy to sell.”
“You may not believe this, but the tickets were given to me by Bai You.”
Jiang Lan spread his hands helplessly: “It’s not good to sell it if it’s a gift from someone else, but I’m not interested in the concert, so I just wanted to give it to someone who likes it, so it won’t be a waste.”
“???”
Xue Meng was shocked, and then he remembered Jiang Lan’s hidden identity as a big boss. It didn’t seem strange that he knew a few celebrities.
He immediately calmed down and gossiped, “How did you two get to know each other? Is there a big difference between Bai You in real life and online?”
“Is he that good-looking in real life?” Xiao Xiaoyu became curious when she heard that Jiang Lan had seen Bai You. “Many people say he had plastic surgery, but I’ve watched his dramas and can’t see any signs of it.”
Jiang Lan vaguely mentioned what happened last night: “We just ran into each other by accident. I helped him a little. The tickets were a thank you gift.”
Who knew that Xiao Xiaoyu was shocked, and her tone of voice rose by two degrees: “The one on the hot search last night wasn’t you, was it?”
Jiang Lan was confused: ???
“What’s trending?”
Xiao Xiaoyu explained: “It was the hottest topic last night, and it was still at the top of the hot search list this morning. Last night, many passers-by took videos of fans chasing celebrities and posted them online, saying that they ran into Bai You on Jiangbin Avenue, and there were a bunch of crazy fans chasing him. When this matter was fermenting, Bai You’s studio also came out to speak out, confirming the authenticity of the video, saying that Bai You sprained his foot while avoiding the crazy fans and was in the hospital for an X-ray.”
Her tone was a little hard to describe: “Last night, Weibo was full of people criticizing the illegitimate fans who were pursuing someone. It dominated the screen all night. Bai You’s fans were also fighting among themselves, and many people were just watching the fun. Later, Bai You came out and posted a Weibo to report that he was safe, saying that his ankle sprain was not serious, and he also specially thanked a passerby who kindly took him to the hospital.”
Yesterday’s hot searches were all about thanking this kind passerby. Xiao Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Lan and suspected that he was the kind passerby last night.
Jiang Lan had no time to look at the trending searches these past two days, and he didn’t expect this to happen. Hearing this, he coughed lightly, neither admitting nor denying it, but changing the subject, “Let’s go eat. If none of you want it, I’ll go ask who wants it.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say more, Xiao Xiaoyu didn’t ask again and again, but said: “You really don’t want to sell it? Otherwise, sell it to me at the original price, and I’ll give it to my sister.”
Jiang Lan felt the three tickets were burning in his hand, so he stuffed them into her hands as soon as he saw her about to buy them: “No need to buy them, I’ll give them all to you!”
He really didn’t want to become famous by becoming a trending topic.
Xiao Xiaoyu wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Lan urged her to go have lunch. She had no choice but to shut up and accept the favor, thinking about treating him to a meal next time.
….
While at work in the afternoon, Jiang Lan received a call from Ying Qiao.
Ying Qiao said he would pick him up after work to have dinner together.
Jiang Lan hesitated: “Fourth brother is still at home…”
I can’t just leave my fourth brother at home alone and go on a date secretly.
Doing this will only have one result in the end –
Fourth brother being furious and making a series of calls to arrest people!
As a helpless little Taotie trying to survive between his boyfriend and his fourth brother, this kind of behavior that was 100% sure to intensify family conflicts must never be done!
It’s too difficult to be the filling in a sandwich!
Hearing the hesitation in his voice, Ying Qiao smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll communicate with Fourth Brother. Send me the name of the restaurant you like and I’ll reserve a table.”
“???”
The word “communication” seemed inappropriate when used to describe the relationship between Ying Qiao and his fourth brother.
Based on how well Jiang Lan knew the two of them, they were not the kind of people who could communicate well.
Otherwise, you can’t fight as soon as you meet.
He suddenly became more worried: “I’d better talk to Fourth Brother.”
Don’t fight again, or you’ll be in trouble when Big Brother comes on Friday!
“Just work hard,” Ying Qiao said confidently this time, “Don’t worry, I can convince Fourth Brother.”
“…”
Jiang Lan was not at all reassured, but before he could finish his sentence, Ying Qiao, who was full of confidence, had already hung up the phone.
What should I do? I feel even more worried.
He quickly sent a WeChat message to Jiang Chi, telling him that Ying Qiao would be there later, and if he saw two people fighting, Jiang Chi should inform him immediately.
By this time, Ying Qiao, full of confidence, had already driven to the gate of Jiang Lan’s community.
After parking the car, he went upstairs to “communicate” with his brother-in-law with a determined smile on his lips.
Bi’an was still reading.
He had already read two-thirds of the book in his hand, but the more he read, the uglier his expression became.
After turning another page, Bi’an finally couldn’t bear it anymore and closed the book, throwing this not-so-thick book onto the coffee table.
What kind of stupid book is this? He suspected that Ying Gou tricked him into buying this book just to piss him off.
He glanced gloomily across the coffee table. On the blue cover of the book was written the title in cursive: “Zero Points Boyfriend Counterattack Manual”.
This stupid book started by asking people to fill out a questionnaire with a full score of 100, and Bi’an scored a perfect 100.
How proud Bi’an was when he saw the score was how angry he was when he saw the score analysis of the second chapter!!
The score on this stupid questionnaire was actually negative!!
Negative!!!
The score analysis began with a bold and large message: This questionnaire uses a negative score system. If your score is less than 20 points, then congratulations, you already have the qualities that an excellent boyfriend should have. Please boldly pursue your lover and enjoy the sweetness of love.
If your score is less than 50 points, then you have just passed and there is room for improvement. Please continue reading to fill in the gaps.
If your score is higher than 50 points, or even close to full marks, please don’t be discouraged and keep reading. The author will teach you step by step how to go from zero points to a perfect boyfriend.
The conclusion is: If you don’t study hard, you will end up being single.
Bi’an held his breath and read most of the book. As he read, he recalled his relationship with Chen Hua according to what was written in the book. He found that according to the standards in the book, he did not do a single thing right! Everything was wrong!
It’s fu**ing outrageous!
Even if it’s an exam, you can still guess a few correctly, right?
It turned out that none of them were correct, so there was probably something wrong with the book.
Just as Bi’an was debating whether to read other books, the doorbell rang.
He went to open the door, and when he saw Ying Qiao, his brows furrowed. He sneered, turned around and walked into the house.
Ying Qiao followed in and closed the door. He then calmly sat opposite Bi’an. He glanced at the book on the table: “The books have arrived? How much have you read?”
“I haven’t finished reading any of them yet.” Bi’an narrowed his eyes and looked at him critically: “Are you kidding me? Are these books useful?”
“What good would it be for me to fool you?”
Ying Qiao sneered and glanced at the “Zero-Score Boyfriend Counterattack Manual” that was thrown alone on the coffee table. He took the book in his hand and asked: “Did you take the questionnaire? How much did you score?”
As he spoke, he flipped through the questionnaire and it was obvious that he was very familiar with this book.
Bi’an’s eyelids jumped, alarm bells rang, and he subconsciously tried to grab it.
But Ying Qiao was faster than him and turned directly to the chapter with score summary. Among the five score levels, the column with full marks was heavily circled.
“???”
Ying Qiao was silent for a moment, then looked at him inexplicably: “Full marks? How did you do that?”
He looked Bi’an up and down and made a sound of “tsk”.
His expression seemed to be saying, “I didn’t realize you were such a fool.”
Alpaca!!!
Bi’an cursed in his heart and looked at him coldly: “You believe in this kind of book?”
Ying Qiao: “If you don’t believe it, why are you doing the questionnaire?”
He squinted at Bi’an and asked, “Do you know what my score was?”
Bi’an didn’t want to know. Anyway, it must be a lower score than his, otherwise how could Ying Gou be so arrogant?
The wind is blowing like a dog, bah!
But he didn’t respond, so Ying Qiao could answer his own question: “I only got 15 points.”
He raised his eyebrows proudly and glanced at Bi’an like a winner.
This is probably why he has a boyfriend, while Bi’an can only be single.
Bi’an: …
He endured it again and again and finally didn’t suddenly attack anyone.
Having shown off his superiority enough, Ying Qiao put the book back on the coffee table, shook his head and sighed as if he was very worried: “At your level, you will definitely not be able to beat Chen Hua’s Senior Brother.”
The future is worrying.
“What’s going on with Chen Hua’s Senior Brother? Why have I never heard that he has a senior brother?”
Hearing him get to the point, Bi’an temporarily suppressed his unhappiness and asked.
“These things happened a thousand or two thousand years ago, so of course you don’t know. Ever since Chen Hua transformed, it was his Senior Brother who taught him, and the two of them had a very deep relationship. Later, something unexpected happened, and he thought the person was gone, so he cried all day and even built a cenotaph for him.”
Ying Qiao looked at him with pity: “But just last night, the two of them met again by chance in the mall. Chen Hua was so happy that he took him home directly.” He paused and said: “It’s not certain that they slept together, but they definitely talked late into the night by candlelight.”
Coming back from the dead, parachuting in, childhood sweetheart, senior brother.
There are too many factors, and it is obvious that Bi’an is no match for him.
After all, he was just a difficult customer with whom he had an average or even a bad relationship.
