Chapter 37: All the ducks in the capital are in trouble!
Xu Jie returned home after breakfast. The discussion about the winter special program on the Internet has never stopped.
Some people felt that the content of last night's program was light-hearted and funny, breaking through the inherent explanation mode of previous food programs. It was a bold innovation and attempt, which added fun to the program.
Some people also think that the male host’s glib talk makes the originally elegant food content vulgar, and that he should not have no bottom line in order to attract attention. Such a program is simply an insult to food.
In short, there are all kinds of opinions.
Different people have different opinions.
Shakespeare once said: There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
Different people have different ideas and understandings of the same program.
Xu Jie humbly accepts good comments and simply ignores bad comments.
Life, after all, is a process of making yourself happy.
It’s not how I wanted to shoot it.
…
In the evening, Xu Jie drove a BMW Mini to the airport.
6:35.
The flight from Shanghai to Beijing arrived on time.
Xu Jie was standing at the airport entrance. Not long after, he saw a woman in a maroon coat, black pencil pants, and brown high heels appear in his sight. She was wearing a pair of large black sunglasses that covered most of her face, but her every move exuded a strong aura, giving people the illusion of being at the Milan Fashion Week watching a fashion show.
Xu Jie didn't recognize who it was at first, until he saw Huang Xiaorong pushing the luggage behind him, then he realized that this was the person he was waiting for.
He was just about to step forward to greet them when suddenly a crowd surged behind him, and then he saw countless people rushing over, and the scene was like zombies being released from a cage.
Xu Jie was knocked all over the place, like a lone boat in the waves. When he finally stood firm, he found that Su Yun had been surrounded by people and the situation was out of control for a while.
"Wang Quan and Zhang Yijiajia are at the back." Su Yun suddenly pointed behind her.
After hearing her words, more than half of the fans around her left instantly. These two are both popular young stars, who wouldn’t like them?
"Tang Fei and Jin Lu are also behind." Su Yun said again.
One is the latest rising superstar in the music industry, and the other is a super popular creative talent, and half of her fans have left.
Su Yun faced the remaining people and gave autographs to those who wanted them and took photos with those who wanted them.
She knew very well that those who had just left were all star-chasers, a group of people who were waiting at the airport for their stars, and only those who remained were her fans.
"Goodbye, bye!"
Su Yun said goodbye to her fans and then walked towards Xu Jie.
Xu Jie stretched out his hand at this time, intending to take the other person's bag, but Su Yun simply opened her arms and gave him an intimate hug.
The fans who were about to leave turned back immediately when they saw this situation and took out their phones to take pictures of Xu Jie and Su Yun.
Click, click!
Xu Jie's body stiffened for a moment, and then he also hugged Su Yun. He was used to Su Yun's behavior of showing affection in public whenever he had time.
After leaving the terminal, Su Yun gave Huang Xiaorong a few words of instruction and got into the car driven by Xu Jie.
"Did your trip to Shanghai go smoothly this time?" Xu Jie asked while driving. He was very concerned about the other party's recent situation in the entertainment industry.
"It went smoothly. And thanks to you, the media is paying more attention to me." Su Yun took off her sunglasses.
"What do you mean?" Xu Jie was puzzled.
"In the past, when the media interviewed me, they would always ask me if I had a boyfriend and what type of men I liked. They were just short of introducing me to blind dates. But now the media are paying special attention to my belly, thinking that we are getting married because of pregnancy. As a result, I dare not even eat more these days." Su Yun touched her belly.
Xu Jie was slightly stunned. It seemed that the media still did not think highly of him and Su Yun, otherwise they would not think that the two were married because of pregnancy, because marriage due to pregnancy would most of the time be interpreted as having to get married because of pregnancy.
"There hasn't been much news about you these days," said Xu Jie.
Well, not as many as him, a reporter.
"News is all hyped up. With my current status as a pop queen, if I continue to hype up traffic, I will only lower my own value. What's more, I have always been a talented artist, so why should I compete with those traffic stars for exposure?"
Xu Jie looked at the other person in surprise. What he said was so domineering and awesome.
"I heard that there are small circles in your entertainment industry. I wonder if you have been excluded now?" Xu Jie has been reading entertainment news these days to learn about the inside story of the entertainment industry.
"What circle or not, the rich ones praise each other, the poor ones undermine each other, the popular ones hang out together, the jealous ones report each other and throw dirty water on each other. Everyone has their own little schemes, so it doesn't matter whether they are excluded or not." Su Yun said lightly.
I have been in this circle for ten years. What have I not seen? I have let it go.
"Have you ever had negative information spread about you?" Xu Jie asked curiously. The other person looked like he was used to it.
"Isn't getting married with a baby considered throwing dirty water?" Su Yun asked back.
Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, then he understood something.
It seems that some colleagues have already started competing for Su Yun's resources.
The car stopped outside a famous roast duck restaurant. When Xu Jie and Su Yun walked in, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
The hall was packed with people, and every seat was occupied. Even the entrance was crowded with people.
"Waiter, are there any seats available?" Xu Jie asked loudly.
"No, customer, we are not issuing numbers anymore and takeout has stopped," the waiter replied.
"Why?" Xu Jie was puzzled.
"There are not enough ducks. The limit here is two per order," said the waiter.
"There are no ducks in the roast duck restaurant? Are you kidding?" Xu Jie asked.
"There was a roast duck show on TV last night, so we all came here to eat roast duck today. Hey, why do you look like the male host who eats roast duck on the show? Is it you?" the waiter asked in confusion.
Hearing the waiter's voice, the people waiting for their tables looked over.
"Yes, that's him!"
"This foodie is here to eat roast duck again?"
"Isn't the person next to her Su Yun?"
As soon as they heard Su Yun's name, the people in the queue immediately rushed to the door.
When Xu Jie saw that something was wrong, he pulled Su Yun and ran out of the door.
"Hehe, you are a celebrity now." Su Yun said with a smile after getting in the car.
Xu Jie's face turned red. He never thought that he would debut as a foodie.
I feel so wronged!
"Let's go to another one." Xu Jie drove away immediately.
There are many roast duck restaurants in Beijing, and I came across another one not far away.
"Wait for my call in the car." Xu Jie said to Su Yun who was sitting in the passenger seat.
This time he learned his lesson and put on a mask before getting off the bus to avoid being recognized. He knew that he was just eating roast duck, but he looked like a thief.
He pushed the door open and entered the roast duck restaurant, and immediately saw two empty tables in the hall.
"waiter……"
Xu Jie took out his cell phone and prepared to call Su Yun.
"Sir, would you like roast duck or stir-fried dishes?" the waiter asked politely.
"Eat roast duck." Xu Jie replied.
"Sorry sir, we're out of roast duck," the waiter said embarrassedly.
"What?"
"Today there are too many people eating roast duck. If you want to eat it, you can come back tomorrow."
Xu Jie was directly persuaded to leave.
"No seats again?" Su Yun asked.
"There are seats, but no ducks," said Xu Jie.
"Hehe, all the ducks in the capital are in trouble today. Do you think they will hate you to death?" Su Yun smiled charmingly.
“…”
Xu Jie didn't say anything and drove to a few more restaurants. However, either there were too many people or there was no roast duck. He got really frustrated and kept repeating in his mind: If I want to find someone, look for the people who eat you guys, don't come to me!
