Needless to say, Qi Xingchen's method was very effective. After a whole morning, more people bought the expensive products than the cheap ones.
Due to the consumers' curiosity, the overall sales were several levels higher than before.
Old Tie, on the other hand, felt a little apologetic. He pulled Qi Xingchen to the side and asked, "Xingxing, do you think we're lying?"
To be honest, although Old Tie's ironware was worth a lot of money, this method of selling was not honest. Qi Xingchen nodded.
Old Tie suggested, "Then can we change the method in the afternoon?"
Old Tie was an honest person and Qi Xingchen naturally did not want to force him to be a profiteer.
Xiao Tie was next to him and Qi Xingchen hoped that he could learn to be kind.
At Old Tie's request, everyone changed the method of promotion in the afternoon.
Qi Xingchen picked up his old business and threw pots and pans all over the place. Tao Tao and Liu Ziyu smiled sweeter than the other, and many of the young men were so charmed that they bought several more pots.
Later, someone recognized Bai Ye and the stall was emptied. The day's mission was successfully completed and everyone sat in the empty back of the cart and sang along the way.
Back at the Zeng family's courtyard, Director Zhao gathered everyone together and took stock of the day's situation.
"Everyone did well in the first mission, so I won't beat around the bush.
Now, I'll announce the reward for the first mission: one PASS card! "
"When there's a mission that you think is difficult or don't want to complete, you can use the PASS card to pass it. The reward is: one."
The guests were overjoyed when they heard the PASS card, but when they heard that there was only one slot, they all cried out, "There's seven of us!"
"Hehe, there's only one PASS card anyway. You guys can distribute it however you want. I'm leaving ~" Director Zhao was afraid of being beaten up and left quickly.
There was no other way. Participating in other people's shows meant that they had to follow the rules.
Zhang Yunfei clapped his hands and said helplessly, "It's better to have a card than nothing.
How about this, I'll name the person I think should take the card and we'll vote by a show of hands, okay? "
"Then I think Xingxing and Bai Ye's contributions today are the highest. More than half of our turnover today came from them. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads, "No."
"Let's vote by a show of hands," Zhang Yunfei, "Excluding the two, there are five people, to say, the ones who get three or more votes, to say, get the PASS card."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu's eyes turned. Bai Ye was the most popular person on this show. If he could get close to Bai Ye and create a couple, it would definitely be very popular.
. to say, Bai say, I vote. "to say, Zhou to say, I to say, to say, to say, to say, To say said said said, to say to say, to say, to say, to say. Me
What? to say, to say, to say say say say, to to you to to to say, to say to say, you, to say, you
Say, to say, to say, Ye to
Zhang Yunfei said, "Next …"
"You don't have to vote," Bai Ye interrupted him. "Just give the card to Xing Xing."
Zhou Yu's face immediately darkened. He said in a dignified tone, "Bai Ye, you don't have to be modest. Let's get the reward based on our strength. Xing Xing will agree, right, Xing Xing?"
Zhou Yu was right. Qi Xingchen nodded.
Bai Ye frowned. "It's just a card. I don't believe that there's a mission that I can't pass."
"Then you can use it to rest when you're tired." Zhou Yu refused to give up and continued to persuade him. "You really don't have to be modest!"
Ever since he saw Zhou Yu attack Qi Xingchen during the selection, Bai Ye knew that there was a grudge between the two of them.
Now that he saw Zhou Yu's face clearly, the disgust in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
"I didn't give up. Xing Xing deserves it," Bai Ye said impatiently. "Besides, this is between me and my …"
The word "fan" was on the tip of his tongue, but he remembered that Qi Xingchen was afraid of using Bai Ye's popularity and was unwilling to call himself "Bai Ye's fan" in front of the camera. Bai Ye forcibly changed it to "friend".
"This is between me and my friend. We can discuss it ourselves."
Bai Ye's words were very straightforward. There were two meanings. First, it was none of your business. Second, Xing Xing was my friend, but you weren't.
Zhou Yu's face could no longer be described as ugly. Even his pores were full of embarrassment.
Qi Xingchen was shocked when he heard Bai Ye's words. He immediately stepped to his side and whispered, "The camera is here."
His tone did not sound like he was appeased. Qi Xingchen still wanted to say a few more words, but the camera was there. He decided to wait until night to coax the male lead.
The two guests arguing was a big show, but one of the participants was Bai Ye, so this part of the film could only be edited out.
Otherwise, if it was released and caused trouble for Bai Ye, Bai Ye's team would definitely not let Mai Mang off.
Zhou Yu couldn't bear to be exposed in front of a group of people. He said that he wasn't feeling well, so he turned around and went back to his room.
During dinner, there were six people at the table again.
What was more ironic was that halfway through the meal, Luo Qiuman remembered. "Xiao Yu hasn't eaten yet. Should we send him some?"
"… Yes, send him." Zhang Yunfei nodded perfunctorily. "But he's not feeling well. I don't know if he can eat it."
"Then I'll pick a few dishes for him … Ziyu, I can't bring them over. Come with me."
"I can't stop eating, or I'll get a stomachache easily," Liu Ziyu refused. "Sister Qiuman, you should find someone else to go with you."
"You'll get a stomachache if you stop eating" was obviously nonsense. Qi Xingchen glanced at Liu Ziyu.
Recently, she had been protecting him in the open and in the dark. Qi Xingchen could feel it.
No matter why she suddenly changed, as long as she didn't come looking for trouble with him, Qi Xingchen didn't care about anything else.
However, Bai Ye's anger today reminded Qi Xingchen of one thing — Zhou Yu could not be kept alive.
He thought that the crisis had been resolved, but who knew that Zhou Yu would still be stuffed in.
Now that Qi Yuji had turned into a vicious cannon fodder, it was like a time bomb hanging above his head. He couldn't tell when it would explode!
He couldn't bear the consequences. Qi Xingchen finished his meal in a few mouthfuls. He greeted everyone who hadn't finished eating and strolled around the path to Yangyi village.
He realized that the drying field beside the path was not bad.
Qi Xingchen memorized the location of the drying field and downloaded a live broadcast platform.
He waited until late at night, but Zhou Yu didn't come out of his room.
Qi Xingchen hid under the blanket and called Qi Yuji in a low voice. "I brought the gift back. I was on the plane yesterday and didn't have the time to tell you."
Xing Xing, when are you coming home?! "
He pretended to be regretful. "It'll be more than a month later. I can't go back during the recording of the show."
Qi Yuji was silent for a moment and said weakly, "But, but I really want to see your gift."
"Then I'll find a courier to send it back to you."
What if the courier is broken or lost? "
"How about …" Qi Xingchen suggested, "You come over and get it from me and visit me while you're at it?"
Qi Yuji hadn't seen her brother for more than ten days and had long wanted to visit him.
She was afraid that her brother would reject her, so she didn't dare to say it.
She didn't expect her brother to take the initiative to invite her. Qi Yuji was so happy that she couldn't wait to fly over!
You really want me to come? "
"Really. There's no time like the present. Come tomorrow," Qi Xingchen said. "I'll book a plane ticket for you now."
Qi Yuji rejected the plane ticket. The Qi family's plane had just been repaired and it was much more convenient to take a private plane than to go to the airport.
After hanging up Qi Yuji's call, Qi Xingchen secretly knocked on Bai Ye's door with the small box just like yesterday.
However, he learned his lesson this time. After Bai Ye let him in, he first covered the camera.
Then he turned around and saw Bai Ye sitting on the windowsill.
His two long legs were propped up and he raised his chin slightly to look at him.
Therefore, Qi Xingchen couldn't say what he wanted to say.
It was said that one could see a beauty under the light. This fake idol had inherited all the advantages of his real idol. He had fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs. When he looked at you, his eyes were dark as if there were whirlpools.
Qi Xingchen almost drowned. Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry and waited quietly for him.
Qi Xingchen struggled for a while before he broke free. He said incoherently, "Well, you haven't slept yet."
"It's quite late. Can't sleep?"
"Because you're here," Bai Ye said calmly. "Let's talk business."
Well, it seemed that he was still angry.
Qi Xingchen sighed. "Don't be angry. I was wrong this afternoon."
Bai Ye: "What was wrong with you?"
Yes, what was wrong with him?
"… It's my fault anyway." Qi Xingchen forced himself to lie. "I shouldn't have rejected the PASS card. Forgive me."
"I'm angry because of this?"
"Then who are you angry at? Zhou Yu?
There's no need to be angry because of him. "
"… It's not because of him." Bai Ye was speechless for a moment. Then his eyes fell on his hand. "What are you holding in your hand?"
At the end of the first leg, Qi Xingchen bought gifts for everyone in the program.
Last night, he was so focused on getting a blanket for Bai Ye that he forgot about the gift.
Qi Xingchen opened his palm. There was an AirPods charging case on it. The design was a dark blue night sky with the Milky Way flowing slowly with the moonlight. It was bright and mysterious.
"For me?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows and took it.
He looked at it twice and suddenly laughed. "You drew this yourself?"
"There's both you and me. The meaning is not bad," Bai Ye said. "Thank you. I'll take it."
"You're welcome …" Qi Xingchen was curious. "But there's only the night sky on it. Where's me?"
Bai Ye pointed at the shining Xing Xing. "Isn't that you?"
He was abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage when he was born. His name was given by the director.
"Qi" came from the meaning of abandonment. Xing Xing was a very common word.
After being adopted for a short year, he was sent to the acrobatic troupe by his adoptive parents.
How could a child who deserved to be loved be abandoned twice in a row?
But when it came to the male protagonist, he became Xing Xing in the night sky … He was just a speck of dust. How could he be worthy of standing next to his idol?!
"I'm not, I'm not," Qi Xingchen hurriedly explained. "When I was drawing, I only wanted to draw the night sky. I didn't think about myself!"
This time, it was Bai Ye's turn to be stunned.
He just said it casually. He didn't expect the other party to have such a strong reaction.
He immediately thought of Qi Xingchen's previous actions and behaviors.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Qi Xingchen asked tentatively, "Are you not angry now?"
Bai Ye didn't give a definite answer. He took a step forward.
He raised his arm and froze for a moment. Finally, his palm fell on Qi Xingchen's head.
Unlike the cold fragrance on his body, the fake idol's palm was warm and comfortable. It was just enough to drive away the cold of the long night.
Then, Qi Xingchen heard him say, "If you don't want me to be angry, be more obedient next time."
