Chapter 173: What a big pot of Longjing tea produced in !

In the small lounge, Zhong Xiaoyun was lying on the door, staring blankly at the air, his attention completely focused on the movement outside the door, he wanted to stick his ear out of the crack in the door to listen.

He heard about 99% of the conversation between Meng Yunda and Liu Shuangcheng just now.

The two people were talking in the office. There was no one else in the room, so of course they would not deliberately lower their voices. However, even with this ordinary conversation volume in the quiet office, it was loud enough for Zhong Xiaoyun to hear clearly.

He was confused and secretly frightened.

Because of his previous relationship with Zhao Mingtao, Zhong Xiaoyun, his bedmate, knew something about his family situation and knew that he was related to Mr. Liu. However, when he first heard Meng Yunda say “a non-blood-related adopted nephew”, he was still stunned.

What does this mean?
A nephew is a nephew, and a nephew is cheap?

Zhao Mingtao was very secretive about his background and never mentioned his parents or family, but he was obviously born into a wealthy family. He was extremely picky and wanted the best of everything he ate and used. These bad habits were probably the result of his pampered life in the past, so his family must have been high. Plus, there had long been rumors in the company that he was a relative of Mr. Liu and that the relationship was quite close, so Zhong Xiaoyun naturally thought that Zhao Mingtao was a relative of the Liu family.

Liu Shuangcheng himself also came from a high family background, and he was already the chairman of a leading domestic film and television company. It was normal for his family to have outstanding people in other industries, and Zhao Mingtao had never explained or denied it. Therefore, Zhong Xiaoyun had never thought about it in this regard.

But after Meng Yunda pointed out the key, Zhong Xiaoyun instantly sorted out the relationship.

Since he is a nephew, Zhao Mingtao should be the son of Liu Shuangcheng and his sister. Liu Shuangcheng only has one sister, Liu Shaomei, which is a well-known secret in the Wushuang circle of influence, so Zhao Mingtao is Liu Shaomei’s son without blood relationship.

Stepson?

Isn’t Liu Shaomei the daughter-in-law of the prosperous Qu family… Zhao Mingtao, your surname isn’t Qu either?

The more Zhong Xiaoyun thought about it, the more confused he became.

He simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, after Liu Shuangcheng left, he would have a chance to ask Director Meng. If he could know about this, he would know it by asking. If he shouldn’t know it, it would be impossible for anyone to answer his questions even if he thought about it so much.

Listening further, I could hear the two of them exchanging sarcastic remarks. This was much easier to understand than the previous inexplicable relationship between relatives.

Influenced by Zhao Mingtao, Zhong Xiaoyun has learned a lot of inside information over the years. For example, if Director Liu wants to play a trick on someone, he will never do something like throwing dirty water directly, as if it is an insult to him. He likes to dig holes for people, then lure them with benefits, let them step into the abyss step by step, and finally enjoy their despair and pain.

Han Fei’s situation is extremely rare. Although he offended Liu Shuangcheng, Liu had never ordered anyone to spread dirt on him. It was all because Lu Siyuan was jealous and couldn’t stand others doing well, so he took the initiative and used low-level means to bully others. Liu was unwilling to do it with Lu Siyuan. Otherwise, Han Fei’s character of not being able to tolerate any sand in his eyes would have been crushed by Liu Shuangcheng long ago, and he would not have survived until now.

Knowing Liu Shuangcheng’s style of doing things, Zhong Xiaoyun knew that this guy was up to no good as soon as he heard him making promises to Meng Yunda.

His heart almost jumped into his throat, fearing that Director Meng really believed this nonsense and planned to reach a so-called strategic cooperation with Wushuang. Fortunately, Director Meng was not a pushover and pushed back with just a few words.

In fact, Zhong Xiaoyun had only met Liu Shuangcheng a few times. Even though he was once Zhao Mingtao’s regular partner, and even though Liu Shuangcheng himself was a man of both sexes, he knew very well that Liu Shuangcheng looked down on people like them.

When Zhong Xiaoyun thought about Mr. Liu, who seemed to be so wise and calm, and who might be so angry that he was vomiting blood in his heart, he couldn’t help but want to laugh.

“Since we haven’t been able to reach an agreement yet, I’ll leave first.”

Outside the door, Liu Shuangcheng’s voice was free of any personal emotions. Even if he was pretending, he was pretending to be very enthusiastic:
“I came to Changshan because I have a project to inspect. This trip today has delayed me a bit. I will finish the scheduled work first and then bother you again, Lao Meng.”

Meng Yunda didn’t continue to be unreasonable and just said goodbye to him politely. From the sound of his footsteps, it seemed that he even walked him to the door.

After about a minute, the door of the lounge was suddenly opened.

There was a dull thud.

Zhong Xiaoyun was caught off guard and lost his support, falling directly to his knees. His knees and elbows hit the ground hard, which was so painful to hear.

Meng Yunda was silent for two seconds:
“…You don’t have any broken bones?”

Zhong Xiaoyun got up in a panic and waved his hands:

“I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m sorry, Director Meng.”

“Well, has Director Liu left? He won’t come back to attack us, will he?”

Seeing that he was indeed fine, Meng Yunda did not care much and walked back to his office chair, sitting down, blowing the tea foam in the cup slowly and said:

“I asked the staff member who brought him up to take him to the car. If he comes back, someone will tip him off.”

“You must have heard everything he said to me. What do you think?”

“Are you still planning to expose Zhao Mingtao’s secrets to me?”

“For Zhao Mingtao’s matter, your CEO Liu took the trouble to come to Changshan to find me in person, and even painted such a big pie, not afraid of letting me die of overeating. With such a good uncle who cares about him so much, even if Zhao Mingtao can’t leave the show now, he will still have a bright future in the future. If you can hold on to him steadily, it won’t be difficult for him to make a comeback.”

Zhong Xiaoyun originally wanted to ask him what the relationship between Zhao Mingtao and Liu Shuangcheng was, but when he heard his words, he immediately put his curiosity behind him.

After a long silence, Zhong Xiaoyun said:

“Meng Tai, Mr. Liu did his best for Zhao Mingtao, but you didn’t agree, did you?”

“I don’t know whether what you just said about an investor planning to invest in Apple Video is true or false, and who exactly wants to invest, but I can tell that he is very unhappy, so I guess you are not worried about the threat or even deliberate attack from Wushuang Films.”

“No matter how good Mr. Liu is to Zhao Mingtao, he is still just Zhao Mingtao’s uncle, not mine. Since Zhao Mingtao could mess around with someone else when he was supposedly in love with me, and even his sexual orientation could change, how could I possibly put my entire life and property on him alone?”

“It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Meng Tai, you should be able to believe in my determination, right?”

Meng Yunda stared at him, with scrutiny and surprise in his eyes.

Li Wensheng had previously reported to him, secretly saying that Zhong Xiaoyun was so love-minded that it was shocking. Such fools were rare among men, especially gays. After hearing this, Meng Yunda also felt that this guy was somewhat smart, as he was so truly in love with his sponsor.

But now it seems that he has Schrödinger’s love brain.

When they were in love, he showed unconditional trust in Zhao Mingtao, but once he found out that the other party had a new lover, he would probably transfer resources to him. Zhong Xiaoyun would immediately look for a new backer to find a way out. Coincidentally, Zhao Mingtao himself was in a difficult situation at the moment, so it was a good time to run away. So Zhong Xiaoyun came to change his allegiance without any hesitation. How could this man be a love-brained person? He was clearly a smart person who chose the right tree to live in!

In an instant, Meng Yunda smiled:

“Okay, show me the evidence you have about him. Only after seeing it can I know how to use it.”

“Do you want to get it somewhere else? If you need to go out for a while, I’ll give you a pass. You can swipe the card and take the elevator upstairs later.”

The director’s office was not easy to enter. Although the building of the Southern Sichuan TV station was not that new, the facilities were frequently updated. You had to swipe your card to get to the right floor. Except for the senior executives and supervisors, even ordinary employees had to be escorted to the office, not to mention Zhong Xiaoyun, an outsider. Moreover, due to his special status, no one would swipe his card for him, so he had to climb the stairs.

Realizing the other party’s goodwill, Zhong Xiaoyun let out a long sigh, with a sincere smile on his face:

“No need, Mr. Meng. The evidence is all in my phone. I’ll show it to you right away.”

…………

Feiniao live broadcast platform.

Because it is directly connected with the Southern Sichuan TV Station, the platform responded quickly. Previously, the name of the live broadcast room was just the five words “Dear Roommate”. After all the guests went to the island, it was changed to “Dear Roommate·Deserted Island Survival Special Plan”.

At this moment, the live broadcast room is quite lively.

It’s not that there’s any big news. On the contrary, Han Fei and Xu Qing’an were working hard, chopping trees and moving wood. Even if they said harsh words in front of the camera to protect their families, it’s understandable to normal netizens. Everyone is just talking about it and it’s over. As long as there’s nothing to hide, there’s no need to be afraid of their harsh words.

The Shuras on the other side didn’t fight either. Lu Xiaoli seemed to be frightened by Shu Yi’s words. She worked silently and didn’t do anything extra. Without her as a troublemaker, Shu Yi, Zhao Mingtao and Lu Siyuan certainly wouldn’t say anything nonsense in front of the camera, so there was no big trouble. Everyone just watched for fun.

The reason why it is so lively is mainly because someone is stirring up trouble from a distance.

On the road.

Several people were holding a lot of firewood in their hands.

Zhao Mingtao is a very clean man. He refuses to pick up firewood from the ground, even if it is more convenient and saves effort. He would rather jump up and pull branches down from the tree than pick up dead branches mixed with soil, rotten leaves, or even insects on the ground.

The others, even the two female guests, were not so squeamish. The three of them could pick up dead branches on the ground, and put a few wild fruits in their pockets when they saw them in the bushes. After all, if they were poisonous, the production team would not leave them alone. Now that they had no food to eat on the deserted island, it would not hurt to have more food in stock.

Zhao Mingtao and Lu Siyuan seemed to have found a water source, so they ran fast and rushed to the front. When the two female guests arrived, they had already washed their hands beside a stream.

Lu Siyuan greeted her warmly while washing:

“Hurry, hurry, your hands must be sticky after picking so many wild fruits. Come and wash your hands!”

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoli quickly walked over to them, squatted down to wash her hands, and said:

“There is a water source here. Should we find a container to bring some back, or should we tell them and move our base directly to this area?”

Lu Siyuan was stunned and wanted to sneer, but he held it back because of the camera.

He used the facial expression management skills he had developed as a trainee to put on a kind yet worried expression:
“Where do we have any containers? We don’t even have pots, pans, bowls, or cups. Even if we take it back, we’ll have to find a way to boil water.”

“How about we wash it first, remember the location, and go back to ask for their opinions? The main thing is that Sister Wen Jin is injured. This road is not close to the shelter and it is not easy to walk. We don’t have a container to bring the water back, and it seems troublesome to move it here…”

I have said so much and said a lot of nonsense.

Lu Xiaoli felt a little contemptuous.

Isn’t it that no matter which choice you make, you will have trouble, so you just do nothing and pass the buck to others? There are many ways to do this.

When she was chasing stars, she didn’t like Lu Siyuan. She felt that this guy had so many resources for no reason and was very pretentious. The expressions and singing he made on the stage made her feel like her eyes were covered with lard, but she still felt very good about herself. Now, it is true, people who look nice at first sight are not necessarily good people, but people who look good but make people feel sick will definitely make people uncomfortable if they get to know them more.

Although she was thinking this in her mind, Lu Xiaoli did not show any expression on her face.

After all, she had worked behind the scenes in the entertainment industry before getting married, so she knew how to deal with such people, so she smiled and said gently:

“After arriving on the island, I found that Han Fei is very efficient, unlike a celebrity, and he is also very smart. Why don’t we meet him later and ask him, maybe he can come up with some good ideas?”

After she finished speaking, she observed Lu Siyuan’s expression. As expected, there was a flash of resentment in his eyes. She didn’t know what he was resentful about. Was he resentful that Lu Xiaoli was still obsessed with chasing stars, or was he resentful that Han Fei had repeatedly stolen his limelight? Only Lu Siyuan knew.

He used his best acting skills, holding his breath and speaking gently:
“That’s good. I actually think Han Fei is good at taking care of people. He used to be like this in the group, always worrying about this and that, just like an old mother. Everyone used to think he was nagging.”

“Later, when I found out that he had a younger sister, I realized that it was probably because he had to take care of a newborn baby at such a young age that he was forced to mature early. He was still a child, but he was forced to be a father…”

“Oh, look at my mouth, bah! Being a brother! I was just trying to say that an elder brother is like a father, but I got off topic!”

Is this a sarcastic suggestion that Han Fei’s sister is actually his daughter? People have already debunked the rumor, but why are they hiding behind Han Fei and hinting at it in the live broadcast room? Does Lu Siyuan really not know how much heat his fans can stir up for the rumor if they go crazy?

No, there was no way he didn’t know.

Lu Xiaoli’s expression was hard to describe, her eyes were fixed on him without a single move.

Oh my god, the smell of the tea can almost waft two miles away. It’s a huge pot of 1982 Longjing tea!

At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

“An elder brother is like a father?”

“Lu Siyuan, I can also be your brother and take care of you. How about you call me dad?”

Lu Siyuan was so scared that he almost fell into the stream!
Han Fei’s voice…how could it appear here? !
