Volume 2 Cold Dew Chapter 26 Lychee
At noon on Tuesday, Yang Xuan walked into the insect house wearing a navy blue fisherman's hat. She looked at the yard with some confusion, and then looked at the bird cage hanging on the flower stand.
After she walked into the insect house, Liu Boyang turned around and said, "Take a look, take a few if you like..."
"Where is the boss?" Yang Xuan asked.
"Boss? He's sleeping upstairs. Are you looking for him?"
"right."
"Why don't you sit for a while?" Liu Boyang glanced at the time on the computer screen. "He probably needs to sleep for more than half an hour..."
"Well then," Yang Xuan pulled a chair and sat down opposite Liu Boyang, "Are you the clerk he hired?"
"No, I..."
When Liu Boyang was about to explain, Jiang You's voice came from above, "You're here, I'll wash my face before coming down."
"Okay." Yang Xuan took off her hat, and her pink hair fell down.
"Hey? Are you that star?" Liu Boyang recognized Yang Xuan when he saw her hair color.
"Uh, not really a star..."
"It's the one that dances, with bananas, loquats and so on..."
“The summer of ice cream.”
"Yes, yes, it's that song. I keep hearing it recently..."
While Liu Boyang and Yang Xuan were having an awkward conversation, Jiang You walked over.
Yang Xuan wore light makeup, a loose white sweatshirt and ripped wide-leg jeans, and looked particularly youthful.
"No plans today?"
"What happened to your yard?"
"It's being redesigned. This," Jiang You pointed at Liu Boyang, "He's the designer."
Yang Xuan turned and looked at Liu Boyang, "You are not a clerk."
"With my monthly turnover, who would be willing to come?"
“That’s right.”
Jiang You took out the printed design from the counter drawer and handed it to Yang Xuan. "The rendering is good, isn't it?"
Yang Xuan took it and said, "It's beautiful, and feels a bit like the Suzhou gardens."
“When it’s finished, it will look even better than in the picture. No matter where you stand or where you look, it will be a painting.” Liu Boyang explained his design ideas.
“That’s amazing.”
Liu Boyang was unsure of the relationship between Jiang You and Yang Xuan. He thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll come over tomorrow morning?"
"Well, okay, early tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll be there at seven."
Liu Boyang walked to the door, looked at Jiujiu, muttered a few words, and walked out of the yard, looking back every few steps.
After Liu Boyang finally left, Jiang You closed the shop.
Yang Xuan suddenly felt a little nervous.
"I bought a few bottles of lychee-flavored soda yesterday. They tasted pretty good." Jiang You walked into the kitchen and took out two bottles of lychee soda from the refrigerator. After thinking for a while, he took out a bag of peanuts and a bag of pine nuts. After putting the things on the table, he sat down on the chair where Liu Boyang had sat before. "When I was having dinner with Mr. Xu on Saturday night, he dragged me to complain for several hours. When his store was about to close, he even dragged me to the bar to talk. Now I even know how many times his cat has to clean up its poop every day."
Yang Xuan laughed, "Brother Huan is just that kind of person."
Jiang You tore open the bag of pine nuts and poured some out. "Help me eat more of the nut gift box you endorsed."
Yang Xuan unscrewed the soda and took a sip, "It tastes good."
"There are also peach and cucumber flavors. The milk flavor is also good. I plan to buy a few boxes to keep at home."
“I’ve had peach flavor.”
Jiang You looked at Yang Xuan's hair and said, "I think you should be the spokesperson."
“It’s difficult to be a single person.”
"Team endorsement is also good. Each person can represent a flavor. You can endorse peach."
“I’m ready to quit the group.”
"Boss Xu told me that he thinks you are crazy. He doesn't mean you are loyal in this way. If you really care about him, when you become famous, you can just give Blue Butterfly a little milk."
"Panjin doesn't really want to be in a girl group."
"There are no companies that really want to run girl groups. They all really want to make money. Brother Huan is also doing it for money. You are not an investor. What is the original intention of the company for you? Just go to whichever company offers better resources. It's enough to make money and popularity."
"I'm really not being pretentious," Yang Xuan glanced at Jiang You, "I'm not the kind of girl who has never been in society. I used to set up a stall at the night market, and I've seen all kinds of people."
"Yes, yes, Sister Yang from the society."
"I did it for the money. I went to Brother Huan's place in the first place just to have a free place to stay."
"That's all."
"I'm really scared," Yang Xuan bit her lip. "I don't dare tell Brother Huan about the boat capsizing and what happened during the live broadcast. There's obviously something wrong with Panjin Culture. How could I dare to go to that kind of company?"
“Other companies may not have any problems.”
"I won't sign it anyway. Even if I'm hacked again, I won't sign it. Other companies would be exploited at best, but what if Panjin wants to turn us into puppets or use our yin to replenish our yang? I tried to persuade them for a long time, but I didn't dare to tell them why. Do you know why? What if Panjin finds out what I said and what I know, and comes to kill me again?"
"Have you read too much online literature?"
"I don't read online novels, I only like to watch TV series."
"Oh, you've watched too many stupid dramas." Jiang You continued to complain about her.
"Do you think you can sign it?"
Jiang You took a pine nut that Yang Xuan had peeled and put it in his mouth. "Your captain, Bi Ying, wasn't she broadcasting live with you that time? How did you explain it to the others afterwards?"
"She said she wanted to smash things with me to vent her anger, but she was afraid of causing panic," Yang Xuan sighed. "Captain, the captain is almost 28 years old. It's not easy for her to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry, but she's not willing to give up..."
"Have you talked to her?"
"After chatting, she actually persuaded me to stay, because if I leave, the naughty captain Zhu Sha will take my place. Zhu Sha's personality is too similar to hers, she is younger than her and also very strong..." Yang Xuan pursed her lips and took another sip of soda, "I also wanted to sign it, but my soul escaped and was stuffed into the doll, unable to move. Except for you, no one can see me... If you hadn't helped me find a monk to send me back, I would be dead now. I'm only 19 years old. I don't want to die. I'm really scared."
As she spoke, Yang Xuan was about to cry. "No matter how much money I have to pay, it's still money. I, I don't want to lose my life!"
Jiang You grabbed a handful of peanuts and said, "It's time for the little rascals to disband."
"Please talk to Brother Huan for me. I, hey, he's doing this for my own good, but..."
Jiang You chewed some peanuts, "What's that variety show about?"
Yang Xuan was silent.
After a long while, she lowered her eyes. "Before, in order to prevent being hacked again, I told the captain about what happened to me. I can't be sure that it was her..."
