Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 472 Zhang Wei, the Big Star?

Yifei raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and replied, "What's this about being a little disappointed..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly remembered the joke she had made with Ziqiao that morning.

Speaking of which, it's almost afternoon and I still haven't seen Ziqiao. Could he have really gone to Heaven on Earth following the route I gave him just to hook up?

Taking the subway line 3 and the ferry is one thing, but if Ziqiao really takes a long-distance bus to the final stop, he won't be able to come back tonight.

However, staying out all night has always been Zi Qiao's habit, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to stay out for one night, right?

Yifei shook her head and decided to call Ziqiao back later. After all, even the fiercest little tiger would turn into a dead cat after such a round trip.

"Sister Yifei, Sister Yifei?"

The small bar on the other end of the phone was still asking anxiously.

"Oh, it's nothing."

Yifei countered, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

The bartender swallowed hard and said nervously, "Sister Yifei, didn't you borrow my phone to make a call this morning?"

"I just received a phone call from someone who called himself a fierce little tiger."

He said his phone was almost out of battery, he left in a hurry and didn't have any money on him, and he's lost in the suburbs. He asked if Little White Rabbit could come and pick him up.

"What?!?"

Yifei jumped up from the sofa, her expression panicked as she pressed the person on the other end of the phone, "What else did he say?"

Apart from Nanfeng, although no one heard what was said on the other end of the phone, everyone knew that something serious must have happened when they saw Yifei in such a panicked state.

If something serious happens to anyone in the apartment, it becomes everyone's problem.

They instantly became serious, straightening their posture, pricking up their ears, and staring intently in Yifei's direction.

The bartender shook his head: "He only had time to say that much before the call ended."

"I tried redialing, but the other end's phone was always switched off; I guess it's out of battery."

"Okay, thank you. I'll take care of the rest."

Yifei hung up the phone and paced back and forth, scratching her head.

"It's all over, it's all over!" she cried out. "This is a huge disaster!"

Youyou asked first, "Yifei, what happened?"

"It's Ziqiao. Didn't we trick him into going to Heaven on Earth to meet his online friend this morning?"

Yifei tried to explain the whole thing in the shortest terms: "He's in the suburbs now, and not only is his phone dead, he doesn't have any money on him either."

"ah???"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Being in the suburbs, with no battery on his phone and no money, Ziqiao was about to have all the debuffs of being out and about maxed out.

"Ziqiao..."

A complex mix of emotions flashed across Mika's eyes. She instinctively made a move to get up, but in the end, she sat back down on the sofa.

"That's great, now he can spend the whole night walking back to the city by himself."

Meijia clapped her hands excitedly, her face full of schadenfreude mixed with the pleasure of getting revenge.

"Meijia," Youyou complained, "this is not the time for you to gloat. Ziqiao's situation is really bad right now."

"I……"

Mika opened her mouth slightly as if she wanted to say something, but she only tugged at the hem of her clothes in annoyance.

"snort."

Meijia snorted, her voice full of grievance.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Yifei quickly reached out to Nanfeng and said, "Nanfeng, is everything on your Digger Zero complete? Give me the car keys, I'm going to find Ziqiao."

"The car keys are hanging on the door, everything is there, and even the gas tank is more than half full."

Nanfeng frowned: "But you only know that Ziqiao is in the suburbs, you don't know his exact location at all. How do you plan to find him?"

He sensed that something was subtly off about the matter.

Although Nanfeng didn't know exactly how Yifei had tricked Ziqiao, he didn't believe that someone as cunning as Ziqiao could be so easily fooled by Yifei.

Furthermore, based on Nanfeng's understanding of Ziqiao, he would never be the kind of fool who would only think of calling for help when his phone was down to its last bit of battery.

Even if he hadn't checked his phone's battery level, which led to this situation, Ziqiao should have sought help from everyone in the apartment, not some lost little rabbit.

Unless he was still thinking about picking up girls, playing the victim, and trying to take advantage of the situation to hit a home run, or unless this cry for help was actually a ploy by Ziqiao to manipulate Xiaobaitu.

But no matter what the situation, this cry for help doesn't seem as simple as it appears.

Nanfeng was filled with doubts, but he couldn't tell everyone with certainty that Ziqiao would definitely be safe, since there was no room for luck in such matters.

If Zi Qiao were really in the suburbs, with his phone dead and no money, who knows what might happen?

Yifei rushed to the door of 3603 and took out the key: "Never mind, just keep driving along the road to Heaven and Earth, we'll definitely find Ziqiao."

"If I don't bring him back to the apartment, I'm not coming back!" she swore.

Although Yifei disapproved of Ziqiao's behavior of casting a wide net with "Guan Zhilin" even after having "Lin Chiling", she did not intend to let Ziqiao have a home he could not return to.

It was just a joke, but if something goes wrong, I'll be in big trouble.

"Yifei, we'll go with you," everyone except Meijia said in unison.

Youyou couldn't contain herself any longer and grabbed Guangu's wrist, wanting to go with Yifei: "Let's drive more cars and search that road. The more people and cars there are, the greater the chance of finding Ziqiao."

"it is good."

Yifei immediately gave orders: "Nanfeng, you stay home and take good care of your cousin. Meijia, you..."

"I'm not going. I'm not going to look for him in the suburbs."

Meijia sneered and mocked without thinking, "If he's such a big man, he should walk back by himself. It's only a few dozen kilometers at most."

"I don't believe he can't get back to the city or find a kind person to answer the phone after walking for a whole day and night."

Seeing Meijia's resolute attitude, and even the sadness and resentment written all over her face, everyone vaguely guessed that Meijia and Ziqiao might have some unknown past that was related to this matter, so they stopped asking any further questions.

"Meijia, you stay home and take care of the braised pork knuckle. Everyone else, go back and get the car keys and power banks. Let's get going!"

"good!"

As everyone jogged out the door, only Nanfeng, Gu Lan, and Meijia remained in room 3603.

"Nanfeng, I'm going back to feed the braised pork knuckle now."

Mika made up an excuse and turned to leave, then went back to her bedroom.

She pounced on the bed, grabbed the rabbit doll Ziqiao had given her, and started punching the doll's face repeatedly.

Nanfeng heard a series of muffled, thunderous booms coming from 3602, and he shuddered in fright.

Thank goodness this was just playing with toys; if Zi Qiao dared to come back now, he'd be beaten to death by Mei Jia.

Even Yifei would have to give Meijia some face in this state.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

Gu Lan, who was standing nearby, asked, "Was that girl who was holding the dog the one you were talking about, Zi Qiao's ex-boyfriend?"

The south wind nodded.

Gu Lan gave a knowing "Oh," and said, "No wonder."

She looked at Nanfeng: "However, you don't seem very worried."

Nanfeng smiled and said, "Ziqiao is such a clever fox, he's not so easily fooled by Yifei."

"If I weren't so unsure, I would have just had everyone stay and do the spring cleaning."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore, let's talk about something else."

Nanfeng quietly moved closer to Gu Lan, a fawning smile on her face.

"Sister Lan, how did Youyou's interview go today?"

"How so...?"

Gu Lan pondered for a moment: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Upon hearing these words, Nanfeng's heart sank. It seemed that Youyou's interview was doomed.

Gu Lan didn't wait for Nan Feng's response and continued to talk about her opinion of Youyou.

"Youyou is an actress with very distinct strengths and weaknesses. She has good acting skills, is hardworking and diligent, and there is absolutely no need to worry about her professional abilities."

"A person who is good at handling things, very talkative, and has a good personality can survive in the entertainment industry and is loved by fans."

"She has good character, so I don't worry that she will evade taxes or do other illegal things."

"Moreover, Youyou has a very distinctive appearance. If we buy some PR articles to promote her as a mini-Zhou Xun, she can at least become a familiar face in the entertainment industry."

Gu Lan analyzed Youyou's advantages and strengths in an orderly manner, one sentence after another.

Although it was the first time the two had met, the interview had been enough for her to get a clear picture of Youyou's general situation.

"Looking at her strengths alone, Youyou is indeed outstanding, but her weaknesses are even more pronounced than her strengths."

"She loves gossip, has a big mouth, and says whatever comes to mind. Sometimes she can be described as unrestrained. If she were to run into a petty and big-name celebrity, she would be in trouble."

"I don't want to rely on my looks or gain fame through controversy. I don't like creating on-screen couples or scandals. I simply want to let my acting skills speak for themselves."

"Actually, it's fine for Youyou to just be a down-to-earth actress. Our company doesn't necessarily require everyone to pursue fame and fortune."

"Those popular celebrities are the face that makes money, while professional actors are the substance that supports our structure."

Gu Lan sighed, her words full of regret: "But the problem is that Youyou also has a fatal flaw in acting; her desire to perform is just too strong."

"They like to add or change scenes, claiming it's to make the plot more complete, but in reality it's all to highlight their own characters."

"Take the Legend of the White Snake for example, she insisted on creating a tragic ending where Fahai secretly injured someone and Xiaoqing sacrificed herself."

"This makes Xiaoqing's character more complete, but it completely ruins Fahai's character."

Gu Lan paused for a moment, then continued, "Actually, I can understand her desire for more screen time and a spotlight for a minor supporting character like her, but she seems very confident in her added scenes, so confident that she thinks the director and screenwriter are wrong."

"Youyou..." Gu Lan concluded, "If she wants to become famous, she can only rely on superstition if she gets rid of her habit of adding unnecessary scenes."

"All right."

Nanfeng sighed. He had known about Youyou's problems for a long time, which was why he hadn't thought about letting Youyou try out at Aunt Gu's company before.

"but……"

Gu Lan changed the subject and said, "I've discovered a promising talent today."

Nanfeng was taken aback: "Who is it?"

"It's Zhang Wei."

Gu Lan said in an extremely serious tone, "As long as he's willing, I guarantee he can become a top-tier comedian."

I'm coming
