Chapter 1481
Mood
A few days later, in the morning.
Zhao Dandan and Brother Long were having breakfast in the restaurant of the small courtyard house.
The assistant held a large chicken leg in one hand and a cup of Milo (made from two servings mixed into one) in the other, the cocoa drink that foreigners love to drink.
People who practice martial arts need more sugar, protein, and fat than the average person.
Sitting across from me, Brother Long had quite a few traditions: a large bowl of soy milk with fried dough sticks, pickled mustard greens and chili oil, four char siu buns, and five hard-boiled eggs.
Add a cup of strong Biluochun tea.
Brother Long has traveled all over the country and has eaten a wide variety of foods.
Except for at least four or five eggs per meal, everything else can be substituted.
These two martial arts practitioners can feed an average family of seven or eight people with just one breakfast.
There's an old saying that a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home, which refers to people like them.
Since I eat at Zhang Yuan's house every day without spending any money, I can eat as much as I want.
The two ate and chatted.
"Brother Long, have you seen Sister Cheng Hao these past few days?" the assistant asked while eating.
"No." Brother Long then tapped a hole in the egg, blew hard, and the whole hard-boiled egg was completely peeled off and landed in his hand.
"I haven't seen her come to the house."
"I've never seen them ride in the company car or their family car."
"Oh, right." Brother Long patted the eggshell crumbs off his hands: "Where's the bicycle that was left by the gatehouse?"
Cheng Hao has a women's bicycle, and she rides it out when the weather is nice.
Because this house is close to the Beijing People's Art Theatre, less than a ten-minute bike ride away.
“Not just bicycles.” Dandan tossed down the bone and licked her fingers.
I glanced at Brother Long's eggs.
The older brother then handed her one.
They spoiled her like a child.
"Well... I took all the clothes from the bedroom closet, as well as the cosmetics from the bathroom and room."
The assistant took the egg, peeled it with a smile, and then replied mysteriously.
"Really?" Brother Long pondered, touching his chin.
"They've taken everything. There's something wrong with that."
"I guessed so," the assistant nodded repeatedly.
How did you know the things in the bedroom were gone?
"Zhang Yuan's..." The assistant pondered his words: "I bought all the family planning supplies; they're to be put in his bedside drawer."
"Oh." Brother Long nodded.
"Could it be that they broke up?"
"I don't know, and I didn't dare to ask." The assistant scratched his head: "Since Sister Cheng Hao isn't here, we'll have to give her a smaller red envelope for the New Year."
"Did Zhang Yuan find out something and make Sister Cheng Hao angry?"
"Who knows?" Brother Long, being mature and experienced, felt it was best not to speculate. "But you should be careful lately and avoid making any mistakes."
"why?"
"I suspect the boss isn't in a good mood."
What are you two whispering about so early in the morning?!
As the two were talking, Zhang Yuan's voice came from afar and gradually drew closer.
"Nothing much, just talking about work. I plan to get all my cars washed before the new year."
"Let Dandan make the appointment for me," Brother Long replied immediately.
"Hmm, next time you lie, make it up better." Zhang Yuan glanced at them both, too lazy to say more.
"I think he's in a bad mood," Brother Long said quietly after he passed by.
Zhao Dandan nodded repeatedly and started gnawing on the chicken leg again.
Anyway, it won't stop them from eating.
"Be careful..." Just as Brother Long was giving instructions, Zhang Yuan circled back again.
"By the way, I have something to tell you." He sat down at the dining table with a serious expression.
"Auntie made too much today, so the two of us ate it..." the assistant quickly explained.
"Stop talking nonsense. I know you eat a hundred or so chicken legs for breakfast every month." Zhang Yuan raised his hand and patted the back of her head.
"Not eating lobster first thing in the morning is already doing me a favor."
"I'm looking for Brother Long."
He frowned and looked at the bodyguard.
"How are things going with the guys in Hengdian?"
"Very good, the recovery is going well."
Where are your wife and children?
"We'll pick them up before the new year, and they'll start attending elementary school in Beijing next semester."
"His wife and children's household registrations are under the company's name."
"Okay, it's all arranged." Zhang Yuan said with satisfaction, but then tapped the table.
"Now that the injured have been dealt with, it's time to address your issues with the company?"
"Me?" Brother Long pointed to himself.
"I sent you to help Shu Chang collect debts, and not only were your men injured, but Shu Chang herself was also injured. Aren't you responsible?"
Brother Long cleared his throat, not daring to speak.
"What's the point of running a company and supporting these guys?"
"It's to protect the employers and the artists."
"The simplest truth is that even if you are injured or disabled, I will take care of you."
“But people!” Zhang Yuan pointed at him, “not a single hair on their head can be hurt.”
"Otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty!"
"As bodyguards for celebrities, it is your duty to observe the surrounding situation and anticipate risks in advance."
"But this time it was done terribly!" Zhang Yuan said angrily.
He hadn't mentioned this matter before, as the overall situation was being handled in a unified manner.
But now we need to clean up the internal system.
"Fortunately, the consequences were not too serious, but it did cause the situation I was facing to get out of control."
"It has invisibly increased the cost of dealing with the problem for me."
"Hiring bodyguards is supposed to reduce costs, but you're making me increase them."
"What if other artists get injured in the future?"
"This one……"
"You don't need to say anything, I've made my decision." Zhang Yuan glanced at his phone.
"First of all, as the team leader and a company leader, you bear the primary responsibility."
"A fine of three months' salary and bonus."
“Next, you will lead the team to retrain all the company’s employees.” Zhang Yuan tapped the table with his finger: “Train them to the highest standards, until they throw up.”
"I will personally inspect after the New Year. Those who fail to meet the standards, or who are unwilling to do so, can leave."
"Understood!" Brother Long immediately agreed.
Zhang Yuan nodded slightly, then got up and left.
"Phew..." Brother Long wiped his sweat.
"Just like you said, I'm in a bad mood," Zhao Dandan chimed in, adding her own comment.
"Stop showing off, it'll be your turn soon," Brother Long said indignantly.
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Yuan went to his study to sit for a while, and then called Shu Chang.
She was instructed to deduct Brother Long's salary and bonuses, and to issue an internal notice.
But they secretly make up for this when giving out red envelopes during the Lunar New Year.
We still have to put on a show; if we don't punish him, it won't serve as a deterrent.
As for what they said, he had good hearing and heard half of it, so he took the opportunity to "fulfill" their wishes.
I'm definitely not in a good mood.
Because some cognitive crises have emerged.
This caused him, who was originally full of confidence, to fall into a state of confusion.
I'm smoking more cigarettes than before.
He thought, "This can't happen!"
They'll damage your lungs if they drain them again.
Let's direct the pressure towards the kidney area.
Not long after, Zhang Yuqi, whom I had arranged to meet earlier, arrived at my door.
Zhang Yuan "unblocked" her and gave her four or five more endorsements to make up for some of the losses from her recent downtime, making her smile like a flower as soon as they met.
Of course, one couldn't help but smile.
Because she heard about Hengdian from her agent, Yang Siwei.
The fat woman specifically told me to behave myself when I met with the boss. "You're asking for trouble, but I still want to live."
"Boss, I'm here." Zhang Yuqi had put on makeup, sprayed perfume, and even permed her hair before arriving.
Try to maintain your best condition.
After the work stoppage, she became much more obedient.
"Why are you wearing so much perfume?" Zhang Yuan sniffed. "Do you think you smell bad?"
"You men just like strong smells..."
What are you muttering about?
"It's nothing, I'll go wash up in a bit."
"The first thing I want to tell you when I call you here is that you should remember that relationships are private matters, but the premise is that they should not affect other people."
"Also, I don't care about your love life, but you can't break the law, and you can't do anything that violates the general moral values of China."
"You have to get married yourself, and you have to have children yourself, understand?" Zhang Yuan reminded him.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Zhang Yuqi noticed that Zhang Yuan, the boss, had a different attitude and demeanor than when they last met.
It seems sharper and more assertive now. That's exactly what I like...
"I heard you're preparing for your wedding. How's it going?"
"We're planning to hold it in Bali, and we'll send you an invitation."
"Go ahead and send it, I'll give you a red envelope, but I don't have time to go."
Have you gotten your marriage certificate yet?
"not yet."
"Oh." Zhang Yuan nodded, then looked her over again.
After a period of work stoppage, her complexion recovered very well; her skin was fair and she had no dark circles.
Moreover, without losing weight for filming, her chest and waist seem to have gotten even bigger.
"You just said you wanted to wash off the perfume scent, go wash it off."
"Okay." She obediently walked towards the guest bathroom.
"Where to?" Zhang Yuan pointed in the direction of his room: "Go to my bathroom to shower, I'll get all clean."
come all come...
"Oh, okay!" She smiled with delight, her eyes narrowing.
"While you're at it, wash the things in that red cloth bag in the innermost cabinet of the dressing room too, you'll need them later."
Zhang Yuqi ran excitedly to the bathroom, humming a little tune, in a very good mood.
Zhang Shuang is happy to be able to return to work and enjoy herself at the same time.
I opened the cabinet, took out the bag, untied it, and looked inside.
Zhang Yuqi's eyes widened, and she blinked a few times.
Lace lingerie, stockings, blindfold, candles, clips, collars, chains...
She took out a rubber ball and gestured in front of her mouth.
Then he pulled out a long string of beads, each about the size of a ping-pong ball.
There's a trick to this.
You should buy one-piece molded parts, with rubber joints as well.
Zhang Yuqi had balls in both hands and thought to herself, "Is my boss a pervert?"
Is this exciting? I love it!
Zhang Yuan was in a bad mood, so he needed to vent to someone.
It was specially prepared for her; it's not very useful for ordinary people.
"Give me some time."
"Weren't you being stubborn just now?"
"Without you..."
Ms. Zhang thought to herself, if this could happen every week, she would be happy to pay out of her own pocket.
"Alright, get up now."
"There's still something to do."
"You still have to post on Weibo."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuqi forced herself to sit up. "Isn't that a bad idea?"
"If you like to see it, you can take some pictures now."
"Posting it online is not allowed."
Zhang Yuan: ...
"How about it?" She even licked her lips with a smile.
"Shall we go into the alley later?"
“I’ve seen online videos of people taking photos on the street at night without wearing anything.”
Zhang Yuan: ...
He had so much to say, but he didn't know where to begin.
"First of all, do you think I'm Edison Chen?"
"They even took photos."
"And have you no shame? If you expose yourself in public and people see you like that, how will you survive in the entertainment industry?"
"Isn't it just to accommodate you?" she said nonchalantly, smoothing her long hair.
“If it weren’t for cooperating with you, I wouldn’t have been able to spread my desires around the world just now.” Zhang Yuqi pointed to the “bracelet” on the ground.
Zhang Yuan pinched his brow and rubbed it.
She can indeed practice Tibetan knife skills with Brother Qian.
"Listen carefully, I have something important for you to do."
"Sit up!" Zhang Yuan shouted angrily.
"I can't sit here, my butt hurts," Ms. Zhang said, looking uncomfortable.
"Then stick it out."
"Next, you need to post a Weibo like this."
"Apologize to me publicly."
"Apologize?" Zhang Yuqi didn't understand. Did I do something wrong to you?
“This isn’t just any ordinary apology,” Zhang Yuan said confidently.
Wang Xiaofei, haha.
Did you think deleting the Weibo posts would solve the problem?
You offended the abbot and you still want to run away!
Even after I deleted the Weibo post, people were still curious about what I had done to offend him and why he was so quick to criticize me.
Okay, I'll give the public a "reason".
The reason is that Wang Xiaofei thought I was dating his girl.
That makes perfect sense.
This will also help Zhang Yuqi, who has been out of work for a while, generate buzz.
I guarantee she'll be trending on social media immediately.
"Oh, I see." Zhang Yuqi listened with a pout, her face full of excitement.
The boss is really going all out!
If I were to create a CP (couple pairing) with him, I'd be getting a huge advantage!
"It wasn't a real publicity stunt, but rather an apology to complain about Wang Xiaofei's pettiness and misunderstanding."
"I will reply to you and say that it's okay, we are friends."
"But the publicity effect is still the same."
“That won’t do. I have a man and I’m getting married. What if my husband misunderstands?” Ms. Zhang suddenly declared righteously.
Zhang Yuan stared wide-eyed as he surveyed the chaotic battlefield.
Why didn't you say that when you were yelling just now?
"Unless," he smacked his lips a few times, "we start meeting up every week from now on."
Zhang Yuan: ...
You've become addicted to it.
Zhang Yuan pondered that philosophical question again: who sleeps with whom?
"Everything about you is up to me. You have no room for negotiation," Zhang Yuan said coldly.
“Yes…” Just a moment ago, “Teacher Yuan” had been acting all flirtatious, but immediately composed himself and became well-behaved.
"Very good," Zhang Yuan said with satisfaction.
The post was published on Weibo very quickly.
Zhang Yuqi accused Wang Xiaofei of being mentally ill and apologized to Zhang Yuan.
As soon as the news broke, viewers immediately conjured up an incredibly melodramatic love triangle in their minds.
I'd love to watch this!
I just love this flavor.
But soon someone realized something was wrong.
What's wrong?
The timing is wrong!
Wang Xiaofei criticized Zhang Yuan after his wedding.
What does it mean that Zhang Yuqi, Zhang's ex-girlfriend, has now come out to apologize and make accusations?
This shows that Wang Xiaofei scolded Zhang Yuan because of a woman, but he is already married!
Shameless!
He's already married, yet he's still cursing others because of his ex-girlfriend.
This is not only a lack of moral character, but also a lack of fidelity in relationships!
Barbie Hsu had quite a few fans at that time; she was very popular.
Now his wife's fans have started calling him a scumbag.
Zhang Yuan's fans called him crazy, saying, "When did my brother ever steal your girlfriend?"
Zhang Yuqi is not good enough for Zhang Yuan at all.
Even if you offer it to him, he won't take it!
Zhang Yuan: Not necessarily.
Moreover, the public clearly remembers that before his whirlwind marriage to Barbie Hsu, Wang Xiaofei was always with An Yixuan.
It was a sudden, abrupt breakup; he separated from An Yi-Hsuan and then immediately married Barbie Hsu.
So, you keep having one relationship after another, and you can't let go of any of them?
After some discussion, netizens realized that this was going to be quite something.
The firepower was instantly focused on Wang Xiaofei.
And even Barbie Hsu couldn't control her fans, who started to defend her.
They berated the restaurant owner's son mercilessly.
Zhang Yuan stepped forward at this moment.
"I had dinner with Ms. Zhang Yuqi before, which may have caused a misunderstanding for Brother Xiaofei. We are just friends."
"I look forward to having the opportunity to work with Yuqi in the future."
In this way, one played the good cop and the other the bad cop, putting Wang Xiaofei at the forefront of public opinion.
He was so angry he almost passed out.
But then he remembered that Zhang Yuan was a legendary racing king in Hengdian with verifiable records, so he put down his phone, which he had intended to use to post on Weibo.
That was incredibly uncomfortable.
When it comes to manipulating public opinion, you think you can mess with me?
After finishing all this, Zhang Yuan felt much better.
Sure enough, when you're in a bad mood, teasing others is the best way to cheer yourself up.
But all of this is not over yet... (End of Chapter)
