Chapter 49: Peng Shiyi's Flattery
After learning that Qin Qi had a fever in the middle of the night and was sent to the hospital, Xu Qingqing worked hard to pack Kong Nanzhu's suitcase and delivered it to her door. When she arrived, Xu Qingqing was busy cooking in the kitchen and Qin Qi opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Qi and Xu Qingqing stared at each other. Xu Qingqing's expression darkened the moment she saw Qin Qi, and she said in a veiled tone, "Hey, isn't this the great actor Qin? What brought you back home? Did the strong wind cause you to have a fever? It seems that the climate and soil in Beijing are not suitable for you. You should go back to the crew to film as soon as possible."
It is undeniable that Qin Qi's face is handsome no matter what you look at it.
I don’t know if it’s the buff of being “best friend’s husband”, but in Xu Qingqing’s eyes, Qin Qi’s whole body is full of flaws and imperfections. Xu Qingqing has long lost the enthusiasm she had when she was a fan of him.
Qin Qi sneered and took Kong Nanzhu's suitcase from her hand, "Thank you for taking care of Nanzhu these days, I won't bother you in the future."
Even though Qin Qi had no intention of letting her in, Xu Qingqing still stepped in without hesitation, passed by Qin Qi, threw her shoes casually at the door, walked straight in with her socks on, and shouted to the kitchen with familiarity, "Nannan baby, I'm here, what delicious food have you made for me?"
Qin Qi: “…”
Kong Nanzhu prepared four dishes and one soup, all of which were light, easy to digest, healthy and rich in fiber.
Commonly known as vegetarian dish.
Xu Qingqing had a bitter face, "No way, I came all the way here to deliver your luggage, and you fooled me with these vegetable leaves. I sent you so many messages on WeChat and ordered so many dishes, but I didn't see any of them."
Kong Nanzhu shyly took out a bag of vacuum-packed braised beef from the refrigerator and said, "I'll cut some beef for you. Qin Qi's fever has just subsided, so he can't eat anything too oily."
Xu Qingqing glared at Qin Qi fiercely, "You stinky actor, you owe me a meal, do you hear me?"
Qin Qi turned a deaf ear to her and looked at Kong Nanzhu calmly, "She's so noisy, can you let her pack up and take her away?"
Xu Qingqing: “…”
This meal made Kong Nanzhu feel overwhelmed.
Xu Qingqing picked up a piece of green bamboo shoots and sighed, "Oh, what green bamboo shoots! I want to eat cola chicken wings."
After a while, she added a piece of broccoli with oil, "Hey, such green broccoli, I want to eat pork with preserved vegetables."
"What green rapeseed! I want to eat braised pork trotters."
"So green..."
With a "bang", Qin Qi slammed his fist on the table. He suddenly couldn't eat this meal. He stared at Xu Qingqing with cold eyes, then turned his head to look at Kong Nanzhu, "Is she hinting at something?"
Kong Nanzhu almost spit out a mouthful of broccoli chops, "No, it's not. You, you eat beef, beef is not green."
Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes. "Why are you acting like a woman? My main concern is eating meat. Meat! How can you associate the color of your hat with yourself?"
Kong Nanzhu kicked Xu Qingqing under the table, then smiled wryly and served Qin Qi a bowl of spinach soup.
Qin Qi saw the green spinach pieces floating in the soup bowl, "..."
He really had no appetite.
After finally getting rid of Xu the troublemaker, Kong Nanzhu cleaned up the kitchen and lay down on the sofa with his phone to deal with the calls and text messages he had missed in the past two days.
There were six missed calls from business cooperation alone. Kong Nanzhu secretly regretted that she had been busy with emo these days and had missed a lot of important things. She called the cooperating brands in order of priority, apologized and discussed the latest release time for the promotional video.
Du Ying, the person in charge of docking at Yayun, has sent messages to Kong Nanzhu many times, urging her to submit a promotion plan so that she can report back to her leader. Although Kong Nanzhu is the cooperative blogger recommended by Qin Qi, the necessary procedures still have to be followed.
Kong Nanzhu spent an entire afternoon coming up with a new plan and sent it to her. Five minutes later, Du Duying called her.
"Sister Nanzhu, I just took a rough look at the document you sent. The idea is good, but the specific details may need to be revised. In addition, I would like to invite you to cooperate in a makeup show at the press conference next week. I will send you the specific event details via WeChat later."
Kong Nanzhu's eyes lit up, "Makeup show?"
Du Ying's voice was also very excited. "That's right. We will invite five beauty bloggers to use our new season's makeup products to create limited-time creations at the event. The makeup line launched this time is our surprise easter egg. We have never done any preheating before. We will announce it directly at the press conference. How about it? Come on!"
Kong Nanzhu agreed immediately. Such an opportunity was like pie in the sky for her, but it was also a challenge.
She has not received any formal training and has relied on her own experience and skills. There is definitely a difference between such a "wild" makeup artist and professional regulars, so if she really wants to develop in this professional field and be able to perform well in a makeup show, this would be a great opportunity for her to gain recognition from professionals.
When she changed her clothes and prepared to go back to the old house for dinner in the evening, Kong Nanzhu excitedly told Qin Qi the news. Qin Qi saw that she was full of energy and spirit, and smiled dotingly, "That's great."
The two of them appeared at the Qin family's old house holding hands. Shen Jun walked over to Qin Qi and hugged Kong Nanzhu, "Nannan, how come you have lost so much weight after going out? Your little face is so pointed that I am afraid. Is it because Qin Qi is too busy filming and doesn't care about your meals?"
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows and put his arm around Kong Nanzhu's waist with disdain, "How can I starve my wife?"
Kong Nanzhu: "I have a poor appetite recently and can't eat."
Qin Qi went upstairs to the study to find Qin Hehai. Shen Jun pulled Kong Nanzhu towards the living room. She blinked meaningfully and whispered in Kong Nanzhu's ear, "You just can't eat? You don't feel nauseous or want to vomit, right?"
Kong Nanzhu shook his head, "No, maybe I'm not used to the local climate."
Shen Jun uttered a sigh of disappointment. Kong Nanzhu knew what she was thinking and explained, "Mom, Xiao Qi is too busy with work right now. We haven't planned to have children in the past two years."
"You are all still young, there is no rush, I am just asking casually."
Originally, Kong Nanzhu thought she was just going home for a normal meal, but when she walked into the living room, she saw Peng Shiyi and Xia Wanlin sitting on the sofa.
As soon as Xia Wanlin saw Kong Nanzhu, she smiled and came up to her and took her hand. "Sister Nanzhu! Come and see if my new eyeshadow is pretty. I heard from my aunt that you followed Brother Qin Qi to the crew. How was it? Was it fun?"
Xia Wanlin always liked to stick with Kong Nanzhu. Although they didn't meet often, they had a very good relationship. When she heard that Kong Nanzhu was going home tonight, she ran to find her. This was nothing, but it was a bit strange that Peng Shiyi appeared here.
Peng Shiyi changed his arrogant attitude and greeted him with a smile, "Yes, I have also seen the real filming scene. Nanzhu, tell us about it."
Kong Nanzhu felt creepy when she saw Peng Shiyi's hypocritical smile. She had long been accustomed to Peng Shiyi's cold and stern smile, and her sudden warmness made her uncomfortable. At the table, Peng Shiyi also rushed to sit on the left side of Kong Nanzhu before Xia Wanlin, and kept asking her about her experience on the set.
Peng Shiyi: "Nanzhu, which celebrities did you meet in Hengdian this time? Did you meet Du Ran? Who is prettier, her in person or on TV?"
"I'll see. I'll be thinner in person than on TV."
Peng Shiyi became interested. "Have you met Tang Xintian? Has she not officially joined the group yet?"
Tang Xintian? I haven't heard of this name.
Kong Nanzhu was a little flustered. Before she could speak, Qin Qi interrupted with an unexpected look on his face, "Cousin, how did you know that Tang Xintian was going to join the group? This matter has not been finalized yet. Where did you hear the news?"
Peng Shiyi originally wanted to attract Qin Qi's attention, and she was afraid that if she spoke directly to Qin Qi, she would not get a response from him. Peng Shiyi smiled embarrassedly, "A very close friend of mine said so. He is also an artist of Jiqi Entertainment. This matter is no longer a secret in their company. I am just curious."
Shen Jun kept putting food into Kong Nanzhu's bowl, "Just eat well when you're eating, and stop talking about these messy things."
Kong Nanzhu was terrified all night, fearing that Shen Jun would question her alone, but Shen Jun looked normal, as if nothing had happened, and did not mention a word about speaking out on the set. After dinner, Kong Nanzhu took Qin Qi to the yard and asked, "Tonight is too weird, Mom didn't say a word."
"She doesn't know that something happened to me on the set. Shen Xiaomin's withdrawal from the crew has nothing to do with me." Qin Qi touched her head. "If she knew that something happened to me, she would have exploded a long time ago."
Kong Nanzhu wanted to ask something else, but Peng Shiyi walked out from the balcony through the French window. "Nanzhu, can I talk to Xiao Qi alone?"
