The Ace Producer

Chapter 35 – Bai Qiutang

Ye Zhen is willing to take the initiative to resolve the stalemate, and Rong Cheng’s father naturally has no objection.

Rong Chengjue still said: “Then I will accompany you.”

“No need,” Ye Zhen knew what he was worried about, put her bag back on the seat, only took the mobile phone in her hand, patted him on the shoulder, and turned to Xi Gu, “Xi Daxing, come out with me ? Regarding the choice of the heroine, I just wanted to ask you for your opinion.”

Although Xi Gu has a good relationship with Rong Cheng’s family, it’s not appropriate for him to be around at this time, so he quickly responded: “Oh, yes, I also want to ask about the filming schedule of your TV series. Take a variety show…”

The two of them went out as if discussing business matters, leaving room for the members of Rong Cheng’s family.

Once outside, Xi Gu randomly found a corner and comforted Ye Zhen, “Uncles and aunts are all sensible people, and A Jue will not be influenced by her, Rong Chengyue can’t do anything, what she said, Don’t take it too seriously.”

Ye Zhen raised her eyes, a little surprised.

Xi Gu smiled: “You really think I don’t understand, it’s not just A Jue who can pretend to be stupid and cute, okay?” In the Jianghu, who doesn’t have a bit of acting skills, let alone he relies on this to make a living.

“So you said the wrong thing on purpose at the elevator?”

“Uh, this one really isn’t.”

So the life of Xi Daxing is actually living between the real stupid and the fake stupid…

Ye Zhen was just teasing casually. Seeing that he was a little embarrassing, she changed the topic and said: “If the project communication meeting held today goes well, Director Chen and the screenwriter should start to publish the script outline and character biographies. Naturally, you have to follow suit. If you sincerely want to act opposite Bai Qiutang, before the official audition, you can find an opportunity to bring her to meet Director Chen.”

“Why do you want to play opposite roles with Bai Qiutang? No, I’m just asking,” Xigu once again showed his “sincere” acting skills, smiling like a spring breeze, “I’ve always been concerned about actresses who act opposite roles. It will affect performance.”

“Oh, so.” Ye Zhen nodded.

Her clear look made Xigu want to explain a few more words, but at this juncture, the two of them suddenly heard Bai Qiutang’s voice from the corner.

This means Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here?

However, “Brother Pai,” Bai Qiutang seemed nervous and a little scared, “Long time no see, do you have anything to do with me?”

“Long time no see? Huh!” The man’s sly voice followed, and it seemed to be that “Brother Brand”, “You didn’t expect me to be released so soon, did you?”

“Hehe, Brother Pai was joking, well, I still have something to do, someone is waiting for me—”

“—Okay, don’t make detours. When you went to the court to sue me, you should have thought of today,” Brother Pai’s voice became more and more rampant, “I said, there is someone behind me, let you obediently follow me to eat and drink. Yes, you dare to sue me! Now you know you are afraid?”

“Brother Pai!” Bai Qiutang’s voice suddenly became louder, as if trying to stabilize the other party, and to embolden herself, “They jointly sued you, I just added the name, and, and,” she paused and continued. Said, “Brother Pai probably didn’t know it when he first came out. I have already entered the showbiz circle, and I still have a lot of fans. Xi Gu is still my boyfriend. These are all public and news on the Internet, so, so, please Show some respect!”

Xi Gu wanted to turn the corner and check the situation: “…”

Ye Zhen also stopped in her tracks, a little wanting to laugh: Bai Qiutang is quite quick-witted and lucky.

“Puff, ha, ha—” the Pai brother in that room let out a strange smile, “I have never seen the world when you are a Pai brother, there are too many unreliable scandals in the entertainment industry! People hope they can fall in love with you ? This is the capital city, do you know his background? He is no ordinary little star!”

“He is really my boyfriend, otherwise, how could I sign Rongyu with an inexperienced layman like me?”

Brother Pai seemed to hesitate for a moment, and did not speak immediately. Bai Qiutang added calmly: “He is waiting for me to eat inside now. If Brother Pai doesn’t believe it, why don’t you come with me to the store to meet him?”

“Bah, you’re scared of me,” Brother Pai cursed, “You have the ability to call him out and let me see him!”

“Okay, I’m going to-“

“—Who is it! Stop! Just shout here, you don’t even have his cell phone number, do you?”

“Ah?” Bai Qiutang still insisted, “Yes, of course!” But the voice was obviously quieter.

Xi Gu turned his feet and walked out like a male lead, “Who am I talking about, dare to yell at my girlfriend? So it’s Brother Pai.”

Now it was Brother Pai’s turn to be confused: “Brother Xi, Brother Xi, you are really here, that, no,” he glanced at Bai Qiutang again, as if he still didn’t believe it, but his reaction was quick, and he just dumped it on himself. He muttered twice, “Brother Xi, I was wrong, I really didn’t know she belonged to you, Brother Xi, Brother Xi, since I just got out of prison and have no information, you treat me as Let the fart go!”

The vulgar words made Xigu frowned subconsciously. He pulled Bai Qiutang to his side and waved his hands casually: “Go away, if you dare to trouble her again…”

Needless to say, Brother Pai has already scrambled away.

Bai Qiutang didn’t seem to expect such a person to appear, he was stunned for a long time before saying: “Thank you.” After speaking, he bowed vigorously to him again.

Xigu let go of his hand and said, “How do you know this kind of person?”

Brother Pai is not a member of the entertainment industry, but many people in the industry know him, he does everything from eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, messing around, and lending usury. A while ago, I heard that he finally got himself into trouble. Didn’t expect it to be released so soon.

“When my father was seriously ill,” Bai Qiutang said softly, “Our family asked him to borrow money.”

Borrowing money for medical treatment and lending usury, Xi Gu couldn’t help being a little speechless, Ye Zhen turned around and reminded the two of them: “Go in and talk together? That card brother is not easy to get along with, don’t let him hide somewhere, he has found a flaw , come to pester me next time.”

Xigu nodded: “Okay.”

The group of three returned to the grocery store. Just as they were about to find another seat to sit down, Rong Chengjue came out to greet him. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Qiutang, then pulled Ye Zhen up and said to Xi Gu, “Don’t say brother I’ll give you a chance, let’s eat together.”

Rong Chengjue’s original intention was that he took Ye Zhen away and let Xi Gu and Bai Qiutang eat alone, but in the end, he didn’t know whether Xi Gu really didn’t understand, or was shy, and dragged Bai Qiutang into the box again.

Don’t be afraid, Rong Cheng’s mother said, “Two more are enough to sit on”!

Seven people sat down.

I don’t know what they said after they left, but it seems that the faces of Rong Cheng’s family members are quite normal. Rong Chengyue looked like she had lost all her edges and corners, and she just lowered her head while eating.

Rongcheng’s mother was like before, pulling Ye Zhen to ask for a long time, and then she remembered to help her look at other people’s “daughter-in-law”—whether it is successful or not, it was Xi Gu who brought it in anyway. The elders have also seen it, and without asking, my close friend for many years, Xi Gu’s mother is afraid that she will be unhappy.

So, Rong Cheng’s mother finished picking up a piece of snowflake beef for Ye Zhen, then changed another hand for Bai Qiutang, and said with a smile, “What’s your name?”

“Auntie, my name is Bai Qiutang.”

“Qiutang, that’s a nice name,” Rong Cheng’s mother praised, and then asked, “How old are you? You look so pretty, are you walking with Xi Gu?”

This question is a bit detailed, Bai Qiutang raised his head and glanced at Xigu, Xigu motioned her to continue answering with his eyes, Bai Qiutang said: “Twenty-four years old, just signed to Rongyu as an actor.”

“Oh? Then what did you do before?”

“Internet female anchor.”

Rong Cheng’s mother had never heard of this job, and was just thinking about asking for specifics, when Xi Gu suddenly took the initiative to say, “It’s just broadcasting some programs on the Internet, such as playing Guzheng, playing erhu, singing Suzhou Pingtan and so on.”

“Oh, that’s a lot of talent!”

…Although Bai Qiutang does have these skills to become a popular anchor, the main thing is to earn rewards by singing, right?

“Yes, in addition to these, she is also very independent, has her own brand store, and does e-commerce.”

…Also, you still talk about opening a Taobao store with such a strange skeleton, I hope you are a big star, is it really okay for you to deceive the old man like this?

Rong Chengjue glared at him angrily: Even if you want your mother to listen to Bai Qiutang’s good words, you can’t fool my mother like this!

Xigu plays stupid.

Rong Cheng’s mother was asking for someone else’s family anyway, so she didn’t really care about Xi Gu’s small calculations, so she continued: “Qiutang is so versatile in Minyue, so she must have a family background, right? Is it father or mother who is engaged in this field?” What about your job?”

“It’s my father. My father is a musician in folk music.”

“Could it be that your father is Bai Munian,” Rong Cheng’s father interjected rarely, “the one who also worked in Rong Yu before, and the one who contributed a lot of film and television music?” The old group of key employees still have some impressions.

Bai Qiutang’s surprised eyes flashed past, but he still said: “Yes!”

“Pa—” Rong Chengyue’s plate fell to the ground.

Ye Zhen’s heart skipped a beat.
