The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 77: Choosing a Concubine?
"Master, is this a left turn?" Looking at the T-junction ahead, Xu Jiuyang, who was driving, asked casually.

"Turn right." The coach in the passenger seat shook his head.

"It's a good thing you don't speak English, Master." Xu Jiuyang smiled while turning the steering wheel.

"Why?" the coach was curious.

"The word on the right in English is exactly the same as the word 'correct'." Xu Jiuyang shrugged.

The coach repeated it several times before he finally understood. After laughing, he asked in disbelief, "Is it true?"

"It's pronounced 'Right', which means both right and correct." Xu Jiuyang said seriously.

Of course, this is not actually the case. Although English as a language has very poor accuracy, there are still a set of professional ways to circumvent it, just like domestic flights often call "01" as "Dong Yao", and British and American motor vehicle instructors will not use words like "Right" to guide novices.

But this did not prevent Xu Jiuyang from using it to ease the atmosphere. After all, he just wanted to practice for a few days to get back into the groove, rather than study here for several months.

"It's okay. You can take the driver's license test now." The instructor said this to him after returning to the parking space and getting out.

"Really? Then I'm really planning to buy a car." Xu Jiuyang asked half-jokingly.

"You bought a car at such a young age. That's great, young man." The coach was very surprised.

Xu Jiuyang smiled without saying anything, then sighed in his heart. The reason why he had to use half of the consulting fee to buy a car was naturally because he had no car available in his previous life.

It’s not that I can’t afford it, but I can’t get a license plate at all. Although I bought a small apartment outside the Seventh Ring Road and became a rich man in Beijing, I still take a taxi every day.

Fortunately, transportation was already very convenient at that time, and he was relatively free, without any impact on his work and life. Otherwise...

So, if you don’t hurry up and take advantage of the good opportunity now to get a car, it will be too late to delay any longer. You should know that it only costs two thousand yuan to get a license plate now!

After coming out of the driving school, Xu Jiuyang was wondering whether he should go and check out the car right away. His cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that the caller ID showed it was Fan Qiaoqiao.

"It's been five or six days, right?" He thought carefully and answered the phone.

"Xiao Yang, how about we get together tonight?" the voice on the other end said cheerfully, "It's my treat."

"Is there anything wrong?" Xu Jiuyang raised his eyebrows.

"I have already reached an agreement with Samsung, and we will have in-depth discussions in a few days. Plus, I signed hundreds of albums in Xidan yesterday, so I'm very happy." Fan Qiaoqiao laughed.

Xu Jiuyang couldn't help smacking his lips. He had also read the news about yesterday's autograph session. It was said that there were thousands of people at the scene, which was even more exaggerated than Da Meiyuan's autograph session. He was indeed a national idol.

Not only that, now the tune of "Little Apple" can be heard all over the streets and alleys. Although the arrangement is different from the original version, it is still a rhythmic disco dance style. It will definitely be called a square dance hit like "Above the Moon" and "The Most Dazzling National Style" in the future.

But if we talk about shocking things, Da Meiyuan's autograph session is more shocking. After all, as long as one has good looks, whoever gets the role of Xiaoyanzi will soar to fame.

Da Meiyuan, on the other hand, was the one who pointed it out, or rather, my interference in her life was so deep that it felt like... what's the word? A live-action version of "Princess Maker"? Or a live-action version of "Star Dream"?
"You are a great contributor, so it's only natural for me to treat you to a meal." The other side said again.

"There's no need to do this, right?" Xu Jiuyang wanted to refuse.

"Of course I want it. If it weren't for you, Samsung would probably just come and take a look." Fan Qiaoqiao continued.

Why does it feel like there's something else going on? Xu Jiuyang raised an eyebrow. "Are you reminding me that if you hadn't stood in my way that day, I might have been embarrassed?"
He didn't point it out directly: "Can I bring my girlfriend?"

"No problem," Fan Qiaoqiao agreed immediately, "If you're worried, you can bring Sister Yuanyuan here." "Okay, by the way," Xu Jiuyang said without hesitation.

This is what you said. It just so happens that Da Meiyuan has returned from Tianjin this morning, and she still has a few days to go to Shanghai. We will definitely ask her to help out.

But before that, he had to call Li Dabai first, but...

Xu Jiuyang smiled a little embarrassedly. He figured she should have finished the discussion by now, but he still dialed the number. When the call was connected, he heard a nasty voice on the other end asking, "What are you doing?"

"I missed you." Xu Jiuyang coaxed.

"Ouch, Mr. Xu is really free today, and he missed me." Li Dabai tried hard to make his tsk-tsk sounds sound worthy of a beating.

If it were a few days ago, he would definitely tease her again, but not now: "Someone wants to treat me to dinner tonight, do you want to come, honey?"

"Who's your wife?" Li Xiaoran said with disdain, but then immediately asked, "Who invited you?"

"Fan Qiaoqiao, thank me for helping her and Sanxing." Xu Jiuyang said.

"I'll go home soon. You're not allowed to go anywhere until I come back!" Li Dabai didn't hesitate at all.

I knew it. Xu Jiuyang was smug. But after coaxing her back tonight, he couldn't... couldn't do that anymore, even though she looked so alluring.

In fact, he had coaxed her back the day before yesterday, but he couldn't help himself last night.

There's no way. After living together for a few months, this is the first time I see Li Dabai like that.

In fact, when she woke up the next day, she punched him so hard with her little fists, but he didn't look injured at all.

Not only that, her resistance last night was almost symbolic, otherwise how could he succeed.

"He's really too thin-skinned," Xu Jiuyang sighed inwardly. He was so happy, but the next day he turned his back on me and smashed things everywhere—of course, he didn't really smash anything, he was just pretending. Judging by Li Dabai's humiliated expression, he probably couldn't accept himself being like that.

In fact, it was quite normal. Not everyone was like Xu Jiuyang, who, with the blessing of two lives, could follow his heart and not break the rules. Moreover, he had been in the entertainment industry for so long in his previous life, so he was more or less affected by it.

Therefore, from now on, unless Li Dabai actively asks to play like this, he should pretend that nothing happened.

From this point of view, Da Meiyuan came back at the right time today. If she were present, Fan Qiaoqiao would definitely fight her first instead of provoking Li Dabai.

Although both of them said that they had reconciled, Xu Jiuyang could still see that whenever they met, they would inevitably confront each other secretly.

Although Li Dabai had never shown any obvious hostility in front of Fan Qiaoqiao, he was also very nervous. Otherwise, he would not have come back without a bad temper after hearing him say that Fan Qiaoqiao was treating them to dinner in the evening.

But, how could her stupid brain be a match for Fan Qiaoqiao? If they faced each other directly, he would probably break her down in just two or three words.

However, just because some things are taken into consideration doesn’t mean that other things will also be taken into consideration.

After going to Target Private Kitchen in the evening, Xu Jiuyang always felt something was wrong.

Not only did Da Meiyuan come, but she also brought Zhang Yin with her. This is normal, as the three sisters usually stick together most of the time.

Besides her, Fan Qiaoqiao also brought five people with him: assistants, partners, and contracted artists. This was considered normal, but… out of a total of ten people, nine were women, all young and beautiful, while he was the only man…
