Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 195 Zhang Wei Playing Dead

Zeng Xiaoxian never expected that after he had gone to great lengths to persuade Meijia to buy the autographed photo, he would have to spend even more time and energy telling Meijia that she had miscalculated.

Normally, let alone 49.9 yuan, I wouldn't mind giving away the autographed photo to Meijia or Zeng Xiaoxian for free.

But now, whether it's for the sake of the bet or for Zi Qiao's so-called "practice makes perfect," Zeng Xiaoxian has no choice but to sell his autographed photos for 99.8 yuan a set.

Of course, he would never think that Meijia lost money on this deal.

Zeng Xiaoxian firmly believes that he will definitely become a famous TV host, and his autographed photos will be very valuable.

Regardless of what Zeng Xiaoxian was thinking, Meijia ultimately bought the contact information of five handsome male radio hosts for a high price of 499 yuan.

As for Zeng Xiaoxian's five autographed photos...

Meijia felt annoyed keeping it in the bedroom, but she was afraid that Xiaoxian would be sad if she threw it away.

After much deliberation, she found a good place for the five sets of autographed photos.

If nothing unexpected happens, this will be Zi Qiao's birthday present for the next five years.

Anyway, Ziqiao never remembers his own birthday, so it's already very kind of me to still give him a birthday present.

Xiao Xian laughed heartily as he sold five sets of autographed photos, instantly completing a quarter of his mission.

"Selling wasn't as hard as I initially thought. I should have increased the stakes a bit more. I wanted Nanfeng to sing 'Conquer' to me with eyes full of admiration."

"What's the bet?" Mika asked curiously.

Xiaoxian waved his hand: "That's not important."

He then squinted and pounced on Guan Gu like a butterfly.

"Sekiya-kun..."

"Teacher Zeng."

Guan Gu quickly grabbed his golf club and held it horizontally in front of him to stop Zeng Xiaoxian from getting any closer.

"Little Guan Guan, don't be so reserved..."

"hiss……"

Guan Gu gasped, his skin crawling from Zeng Xiaoxian's disgusting use of "Little Guan Guan".

"Teacher Zeng, can't you just speak properly?"

Guan Gu seriously reminded him: "If what Zi Qiao said is true, then there are very likely your fans in the bar."

"Teacher Zeng, you wouldn't want your fans to see you acting so obsequiously, would you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian immediately became serious, and then he was a little puzzled: "This sentence structure... why does it look so familiar to me?"

"And the way you're saying it just sounds so off."

Xiaoxian looked at Guangu and nodded in sudden realization: "So it's because the nationalities match up, Guangu-kun~"

"Nonsense."

Guan Gu lightly tapped Zeng Xiaoxian with his cue, and Zeng Xiaoxian shamelessly let out a delicate moan.

"Ah~"

Zeng Xiaoxian, clutching his slapped buttocks, looked at Guan Gu with seductive eyes and said, "You're so mean, you hit me so hard."

Guan Gu Shenqi: ...

"I never expected that the ninjutsu of my Guan Gu family would come in handy at this time."

Guan Gu pulled out a short club from the side and gripped it like a Japanese ninja holding a samurai sword.

"Meijia, Zhang Wei, can you two testify for me that Teacher Zeng was already a pile of minced meat when he arrived?"

Meijia and Zhang Wei nodded in unison: "No problem."

"Guan Gu, I'm just kidding."

Xiao Xian, with a shameless grin, stepped forward and pulled the short pole from Guangu's hand: "We're both civilized people, there's no need to resort to violence, right?"

Guan Gu didn't care that Zeng Xiaoxian had taken his golf club. He had only meant to scare Zeng Xiaoxian and make him stop acting like such a disgusting person.

"Teacher Zeng, it's one thing for you to treat us like this, but please don't do this when you're promoting your products to your fans and strangers later."

"I don't want to spend this nice weather in a bar instead of going to the emergency room with you."

Guan Gu looked at Zeng Xiaoxian helplessly: "Meijia has already bought five sets, can't you just leave us alone?"

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled and asked, "Is either of you dating Meijia?"

"Of course not."

"What does her buying have to do with the two of you?"

"Uh..." the stingy Zhang Wei joked with Meijia, "Meijia, is it too late for me to pursue you now?"

What do you think?

Meijia was scrolling through her WeChat Moments, looking at the five handsome male hosts that Zeng Xiaoxian had recommended. She jokingly said to Zhang Wei with a smile, "I'm busy right now. You can join the queue if you don't mind."

Zhang Wei shrugged and looked at Teacher Zeng: "Does queuing count as a relationship?"

Zeng Xiaoxian's face darkened: "Zhang Wei, do you think I'm an idiot?"

His gaze swept over Zhang Wei and Guan Gu, and he finally decided to start by selling to Guan Gu, who was easier to manage.

Zeng Xiaoxian rubbed his hands together mischievously: "Guan Gu, my autographed photo will definitely appreciate in value."

Even if you don't expect to get rich from my autographed photos, you can still buy a set and hang it by your bedside.

"That way you'll see my handsome photos every day, and maybe you'll get a burst of inspiration!"

Guan Gu smirked: "Yeah, with your picture hanging on the bed, I'm definitely going to be bursting with inspiration."

"That is..."

Zeng Xiaoxian laughed triumphantly, but his laughter stopped halfway through, sounding like a rooster with its throat stuck.

"The King of Inspiration?"

Zhang Wei explained, "It's that incredibly ugly goldfish spirit from Journey to the West."

"I know!"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked at Zhang Wei and Guan Gu with a resentful expression.

Although he was furious, he was still counting on Guan Gu and Zhang Wei to be generous, so he still had to keep smiling at them.

This is what they mean by "when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head."

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled a few times and gave Guan Gu a thumbs up in praise: "Guan Gu, I didn't expect your Chinese level to be good enough to understand Journey to the West. That's excellent."

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu scratched his head sheepishly: "Actually, I still can't understand the classical Chinese version of Journey to the West, but Nanfeng recommended a children's version to me, which I can understand."

"That's really good..." Zeng Xiaoxian continued with a dry laugh.

When he could no longer laugh, he looked at Guan Gu with anticipation: "So Guan Gu, do you want to buy a set of my autographed photos as a collectible?"

"Or have you been thinking about dating lately? I can introduce you to a pretty girl at the radio station... never mind, I'll introduce you to a pretty female host at the TV station instead."

Zeng Xiaoxian thought about it carefully, but couldn't recall any pretty female hosts on the radio station.

If it weren't for this, how could he be so sure that the girl named Nuolan was also unattractive?

"No, I'm not interested in dating right now," Guan Gu refused.

A little over a month ago, Guan Gu would have been quite happy to have Teacher Zeng introduce him to potential partners.

However, he has poured all his current wealth into the publication and distribution of "Love in a Crowd," and before the comic is published, Guan Gu has neither the mood nor the money to date.

This is why he's still debating with Zeng Xiaoxian for so long and hasn't decided whether to buy the autographed photo.

Although Guan Gu can afford to spend 100 yuan to buy Teacher Zeng's autographed photo, it will not have any impact on his current life.

But people tend to become stingy when they feel poor.

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxian's words, Zhang Wei couldn't help but retort, "Teacher Zeng, are you trying to sell something, or are you playing matchmaker?"

"They're all the same."

"Ziqiao said that if the genuine product is not attractive enough, adding some free gifts is also a way to deceive and promote the product."

Guan Gu was completely confused: "What's the difference between these two genuine products?"

"Oh, that's not important."

Zeng Xiaoxian patted Guan Gu on the shoulder: "Guan Gu, tell me, how have I usually treated you?"

Guan Gu thought for a moment, then nodded sincerely and said, "Very good."

Although Zeng Xiaoxian is a bit of a jerk, his catchphrase for a good man is definitely not just empty talk.

As a foreigner who came to settle in China, Guan Gu was unfamiliar with the place and the people. At first, his Chinese was not very good. He has been very grateful for the care he received from Teacher Zeng and everyone else over the past few months.

"So now that I'm in trouble, are you going to help me or not?" Zeng Xiaoxian started using his self-inflicted injury as a ploy.

Guan Gu was taken aback: "This morning you were just promoting autographed photos and practicing your speaking skills, how did you end up in trouble?"

"Of course, it's because of a petty devil in 3603." Zeng Xiaoxian said with a mournful look.

Guan Gu asked hesitantly, "You mean Nanfeng?"

Zeng Xiaoxian clapped his hands and said, "You also think he's a petty, scheming devil, right?"

"...Strictly speaking, 3603 only has one tenant, Nanfeng."

"That's not important. What's important is Nanfeng, Nanfeng, he..."

Zeng Xiaoxian lamented, "He mocked me and insisted that I sell thirty-six autographed photos this morning, otherwise, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, he'll just torture me badly!"

"What?!"

Guan Gu was so shocked by Teacher Zeng's words that he almost dropped his glasses: "Nan Feng... how could he be!"

"Teacher Zeng, are you sure you're not lying to me?"

Zeng Xiaoxian thought for a moment, and finally nodded with a wronged look on his face.

"Absolutely true!"

[In his inner world, Zeng Xiaoxian, while munching on a sugarcane longer than his arm, said in a cheeky tone.]

What are you doing? What are you doing?

I didn't tell a single lie.

It's true that Nanfeng mocked me, and it's also true that we made a bet to sell thirty-six sets of autographed photos.

If I lose, he'll make me write such a long and tedious paper. Isn't that just toying with me?

I'm telling the whole truth!

[Slap slap slap!]

The south wind clapped its hands and walked over with a smile.

[He never tells a complete lie, nor does he tell the whole truth; it seems Ziqiao has taught him well.]

But have you forgotten that the entire bar is within my hearing range?

After saying that, Nanfeng snatched the sugarcane from Zeng Xiaoxian's hand and started beating him mercilessly.

[Serves you right for calling me a petty, narrow-minded devil!]

[You dare spread rumors about me!]

Zeng Xiaoxian was startled by his own imagination.

If Nanfeng heard this...

Who cares, let's win first.

Anyway, the situation can't be worse than losing and being ridiculed, and being forced by Nanfeng to write a paper.

"All right."

Although Guan Gu couldn't understand what was wrong with Nan Feng today, why he suddenly had the interest to mess with Teacher Zeng.

Logically, this should be Yifei's hobby.

But Guan Gu felt that no matter what, Teacher Zeng wouldn't tell such a clumsy lie. He sighed and said, "In that case, I'll buy one too."

"Teacher Zeng, best of luck."

Kind-hearted Guan Gu eventually softened.

"Guan Gu, I love you to death."

Zeng Xiaoxian pounced on him with a smile, only to be pushed away by Guan Gu in disgust.

After Guangu paid, Xiaoxian finally looked at the boss guarding the entire [Family] difficulty level—Zhang Wei!

Even though everyone hadn't spent much time with Zhang Wei, they had already noticed his stingy nature from those limited interactions.

His bizarre behavior of trying to get a discount at the cat cafe with his student ID, in particular, has spread throughout the entire apartment building, thanks to Curry Sauce's account.

Logically speaking, Zeng Xiaoxian shouldn't have wasted any more time on Zhang Wei. However, after overcoming numerous obstacles and successfully winning over Yi Fei, Mei Jia, and Guangu, Xiaoxian's arrogance was unprecedented.

Now, let alone Zhang Wei, even if Grandet stood in front of him, Zeng Xiaoxian was confident he could squeeze a layer of profit out of him.

"Zhang Wei..." Zeng Xiaoxian began, still using his unchanging, disgusting call.

Only then did Zhang Wei realize that he had become Zeng Xiaoxian's final target.

So he pondered for a moment, and then...

He leaned back in the chair and pretended to be dead.

Zeng Xiaoxian: ...

Finally, I've met a worthy opponent.

I'm coming
