Chapter 240 238. The best chef is not as good as Wang Cheng! Whereabouts exposed...
After get off work time, don't talk about work...
These words are like a joke in today's society.
But.
However, Xiao Qiang knew that Wang Cheng never joked, and he would do what he said, so he said at the door: "Wang Cheng, just have a meal, let's get together and not talk about work!"
Wang Cheng glanced at Xiao Qiang, nodded: "Yes!"
After finishing speaking, Wang Cheng put down the book in his hand, got up and went out.
Xiao Qiang hurriedly led the way, and said with a smile: "Wang Cheng, last time we watched the program you recorded on Xiangnan Satellite TV's Country Life many times, and felt that you worked well with other guests. So, this time we You paid a lot of money to invite those guests who have worked with you."
"We hope that you can be together and recast the glory..."
Xiao Qiang was moved by what he said. He glanced at Wang Cheng and found that Wang Cheng seemed to have not heard it, and his face was as calm as water.
All right!
Xiao Qiang knew that Wang Cheng might really not care about these things.
When he came to the best box in the hotel, Xiao Qiang confirmed his thoughts again.
Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru have all arrived, as well as the deputy director Liu Jie, there are only a few people in total.
Originally, Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru had already sat down, but when they saw Wang Cheng arrived, they all stood up and greeted Wang Cheng with a smile.
"Wang Cheng, you are here."
"Wang Cheng, come and sit down."
"Wang Cheng..."
"Wang Cheng..."
Several people greeted Wang Cheng as if they were friends.
Deputy director Liu Jie also stood up and smiled at Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, I'm waiting for you, sit down quickly, I'll ask the waiter to serve..."
Wang Cheng nodded casually to several people, ignored Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi and An Keru, just hummed to Han Xiao, and then sat down first, without any embarrassment.
Both Xiao Qiang and Liu Jie smiled awkwardly, looked at Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru, fearing that Wang Cheng's attitude would make them unhappy, and if there were any conflicts, their program crew would It's hard to do.
However, Wen Yixiao, An Keru, and Zhu Ziqi were all very calm about this, and they were obviously used to it, so they just looked at Han Xiao with a little envy.
Wang Cheng can respond to...
Han Xiao is the only one among them, and one of the few people in the entire entertainment circle.
This made Han Xiao very happy. He smiled and picked up the teapot to pour tea for Wang Cheng: "Drink a glass of water, and we will eat later. By the way, the new house in Shanghai has already started!"
Wang Cheng took a sip from the teacup, said thank you, and then stopped talking, looking at Liu Jie and Xiao Qiang.
Liu Jie came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "The food will be served soon... We know that Wang Cheng eats light food, so you all order vegetarian dishes."
Wang Cheng said something intentional.
Both Liu Jie and Xiao Qiang smiled quickly and said, "You're welcome!"
The hotel waiter was obviously already preparing, and quickly began to serve the dishes. One after another, delicate vegetarian dishes were brought up, and the tables were filled in a short while.
However, no one moved their chopsticks, and all eyes were on Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng also knew that everyone was waiting for him to move his chopsticks, so he was not polite, so he took the chopsticks first and started eating.
The others breathed a sigh of relief, and started to eat.
Wen Yixiao took a bite of vinegared cabbage and said softly, "This vinegared cabbage is not as delicious as Wang Cheng's!"
Han Xiao ate a shredded cabbage, and said, "This cabbage is not as delicious as Wang Cheng's... To be honest, after the recording of the program came back that day, my taste buds were all spoiled by Wang Cheng's dishes." Yes, the dishes that I thought were delicious before feel very ordinary.”
An Keru said lightly: "Wang Cheng's cooking skills are indeed the best I have ever seen! Of course, calligraphy is also..."
Han Xiao smiled and said nothing. She felt that she and Wang Cheng were friends now, so there was no need to use such rhetoric to get close.
Wang Cheng heard it, but didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear it, he still ate on his own.
Xiao Qiang and Liu Jie looked at each other, knowing that they had overestimated the relationship between Wang Cheng and these people.
They thought that Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao had collaborated many times in Tomorrow Idol, and they might be familiar with each other. They also collaborated with An Keru twice, so they should be familiar with each other too!
Now it seems that, except for Han Xiao, everyone else is like a stranger in front of Wang Cheng, completely ignoring him.
And so disregarded...
Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru are still willing to lower the announcement price to join, just to cooperate with Wang Cheng.
Xiao Qiang and Liu Jie are almost certain at this time—these people are all pursuing Wang Cheng, and they have lowered their stature and given up their dignity.
However, they also understand the choices of these people very well.
Because, they had a close contact with Wang Cheng, and they also felt that Wang Cheng's appearance, temperament and charm are definitely the most eye-catching in the entertainment circle they have ever seen. Coupled with his amazing talent, he is indeed extremely attractive.
Except for the flaws in character, what they saw in Wang Cheng was almost all bright spots.
Xiao Qiang said with a smile: "Wang Cheng's cooking skills are definitely better than the chefs in this hotel. However, this is already the best chef in the provincial capital of the Central Plains..."
Liu Jie also said: "The conditions here are not as good as those in Shanghai and West Lake City, so I'm neglecting you. By the way, Wang Cheng, the recording of the show will start tomorrow. What do you think? Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Ziqi, Keru, if you have any ideas, you can talk about it, let's discuss it together and try to make this episode a good one..."
In this show, Liu Jie has bet his future for the rest of his life, so he is very anxious.
However, Xiao Qiang touched his arm to understand without any trace, and winked, signaling not to talk about work...
Liu Jie froze for a moment, but didn't understand what Xiao Qiang meant.
However, he saw that Wang Cheng ignored his words. Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru did not speak to Wang Cheng, and they also kept silent, just eating their meals quietly...
There was an eerie silence in the box.
Liu Jie instantly understood Xiao Qiang's meaning, feeling very helpless and bitter, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Okay, let's eat, eat... You just came here today, you are all tired, let's relax first..."
After speaking, Liu Jie started to eat with a heavy heart.
In such a situation...
He can't see any hope.
If this program is messed up, then he can prepare to read the newspaper every day until he retires...
After taking a few mouthfuls, Wang Cheng said softly, "I'm done eating, eat slowly." After speaking, he got up and left without waiting for the others to react.
Han Xiao obviously expected it long ago, so he immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full too, goodbye..." Then he quickly followed Wang Cheng's pace.
Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru also stopped eating, but they didn't follow, because Wang Cheng already had Han Xiao beside him.
Although they all came together to participate in the show with Wang Cheng, they still wanted to be alone with Wang Cheng instead of being with other people. This was the last pride they kept in their hearts.
They can let go of their dignity in front of Wang Cheng, but they don't want to give up their pride in front of others.
so…
They watched Han Xiao leave after Wang Cheng, then put down their chopsticks, said goodbye to Liu Jie and Xiao Qiang, and went back to the hotel to rest.
As for how to record tomorrow's show?
No one said it!
Xiao Qiang and Liu Jie looked at the deserted box and they were the only ones left. They looked at each other and were silent for a while, not knowing what to say. The delicacies on the table could not attract them at all, even They were not full and had no appetite at this time.
Xiao Qiang took out the cigarette case, took one for Liu Jie and one for himself, then took out the lighter and lit it for Liu Jie first, and then for himself.
The two of them took a deep breath, and then exhaled the smoke. Only then did they relax a little, as if they had let out some of the depression in their hearts.
Only then did Xiao Qiang say: "Director, I really didn't expect that Wang Cheng alone would be more difficult to get along with than the one in the legend, and the four of them are also like this. I really regret letting them come together... They obviously all look like Wang Cheng. Ideas are the main thing, and the program crew may have to listen to Wang Cheng, otherwise the program will not be able to be recorded."
"I knew it earlier, I should invite other people to record with Wang Cheng, even if Wang Cheng doesn't cooperate, there are other people!"
"Now...it's hard!"
Xiao Qiang felt a lot of pressure.
If Wang Cheng is not satisfied at that time, Wen Yixiao and the other four will also support Wang Cheng, and he will become a puppet completely!
Liu Jie took a few puffs of cigarettes, smoked a cigarette in one breath, and then said: "Let's adapt. Our program team is too small. If there are conflicts at that time, let them go. Don't cause conflicts and conflicts." Just a joke."
"Anyway, I've prepared for the worst."
Liu Jie sees more and further.
Anyway, he doesn't have good expectations for the ratings. He just hopes that the program group will not cause major irreconcilable conflicts during the recording period. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, the recording is successfully completed, and it will be fine to send these uncles away...
Otherwise, if the ratings are not good and jokes are made, then he really can't hold his head up in the stage.
Xiao Qiang smiled wryly, and he was also prepared to show up in his heart.
Because Wang Cheng and Wen Yixiao are too big names, if the conflict between him and Wang Cheng is exposed, it must be him who is unlucky.
Anyway, he is used to this kind of ratings, so it’s fine if he can continue to direct. He doesn’t want merit, but he doesn’t make mistakes. Let’s wait for the next opportunity...
…
Wang Cheng put on a hat and a mask, walked out of the small door of the hotel, and walked slowly on the road. He was a little curious about the provincial capital of the Central Plains, which had no resemblance to his memory.
Han Xiao also put on a mask and hat, not wanting to expose herself.
After all, the news that Wang Cheng and the others gathered at Central Plains Satellite TV to record a program has already spread on the Internet.
The news was naturally released by Zhongyuan Satellite TV, in order to use the influence of the still amazingly popular rural life to hype the programs of Central Plains Satellite TV in advance.
So, many media, paparazzi, self-media, etc., came to Zhongyuan Satellite TV to join in the fun, looking for some news and gossip about Wang Cheng and others to hype.
If Wang Cheng and a few others can be photographed in person, and a few more interviews will be done, the traffic will be overwhelming...
So, when Wang Cheng and Han Xiao walked out, they clearly felt that there were many media and passers-by with video cameras and mobile phones around the largest hotel in the provincial capital of Central Plains.
Fortunately, both Wang Cheng and Han Xiao didn't speak, and left the hotel in a low-key way with the crowd, walked along the path to the nearby park on the map for a walk.
Han Xiao finally relaxed a little: "There are too many paparazzi now! Let's be careful, don't get caught..."
As Han Xiao said, she glanced at Wang Cheng quietly. Of course, she hoped that she and Wang Cheng would be photographed by the paparazzi together, and then they would hype up the romance scandal!
But…
She really likes Wang Cheng, so she doesn't want to be hyped like this, and she is even more afraid that this will arouse Wang Cheng's disgust.
Seeing that Wang Cheng didn't respond, Han Xiao felt a little disappointed, then quickly put away his mood, and walked lively beside Wang Cheng, jumping up and down from time to time, and said, "You sent a message on Weibo, the whole Weibo is stuck! Many fans seem to be celebrating Chinese New Year."
"The humble room inscription series you collaborated with Hong Xing is already popular, and many people want to pre-order it. I want to buy it too! I want to buy a set, a suit of clothes, and a pair of shoes. The full text of the humble room inscription is written on it. It must be very beautiful. !"
"It is definitely an honor for these clothes and shoes to print such calligraphy artwork on clothes..."
Seeing that Wang Cheng was still calm, Han Xiao continued: "By the way, my grandfather called me yesterday and asked about your humble room inscription. He said he wanted to borrow your calligraphy works."
Wang Cheng said lightly: "No borrowing!"
"oh!"
Han Xiao was not surprised by this, and then said: "My grandfather said, if you don't want to borrow, he wants to visit you in Shanghai!"
Wang Cheng still said lightly: "No need!"
He doesn't like these entertainments.
Because, previous life experience told him.
Once he agrees to the first one, there will be countless others!
So, direct rejection is the best and most worry-free way to deal with it.
...
As a result, Wang Cheng refused coldly.
Han Xiao's mood also turned cold, knowing that in Wang Cheng's heart, he might be no different from Zhang Hanwen, just a friend, nothing special, so he was silent for a few seconds, then calmed down again, cheered himself up, and said with a smile: "Then I told my grandpa, you are too busy, don't have time!"
Wang Cheng was noncommittal about this.
Han Xiao saw that Wang Cheng didn't like these topics, so he changed the subject immediately: "The house in the capital city has already started renovation."
Wang Cheng hummed.
It was his first home in this world, so he was very concerned about it.
Han Xiao immediately started chatting with Wang Cheng about the decoration of this house, and Wang Cheng interrupted from time to time, which made Han Xiao very happy...
…
Early the next morning.
Wang Cheng got up early and went out for a morning run in the park in a low-key way.
Then, Wen Yixiao, Zhu Ziqi, Han Xiao, and An Keru all got up together for a morning run.
Such an obvious goal must not be hidden.
If the reporters and the media still can't find out, they need to see an ophthalmologist.
so!
A large number of media reporters appeared, gathered around a few people on the running road, and kept taking pictures and asking questions for interviews.
Although, Wang Cheng, Wen Yixiao, Han Xiao, Zhu Ziqi, and An Keru ignored these people.
However, they still chase after...
And, attracting more and more people.
Wang Cheng had to interrupt his morning run ahead of time and quickly turned back to the hotel.
The four of Zhu Ziqi also had to return to the hotel together!
And the news that several people appeared together was quickly reported, and it was immediately on the top of the hot list of several major social platforms!
After all, the news about Wang Cheng alone is enough to attract a lot of attention and traffic, and with Wen Yixiao appearing together, the influence is absolutely unparalleled in the circle!
Many people started to pay attention to the programs of Zhongyuan Satellite TV out of curiosity...
but.
Many people lost interest once they saw it was just a science and education program!
