After Yuan Meng hung up the phone call with her agent, she immediately dialed Mu Ran's number. Mu Ran was her little stand - in left at the Ling residence. Mu Ran had been with Yuan Meng since childhood. She was cute but had a terribly hot temper. Yuan Meng's bunny makeup was modeled after Mu Ran's appearance.
"Ran Ran, come to Luo Yishan's place. The agent asked me to go to the company to discuss work. Let's hand over the tasks."
"Okay, Sister Meng Meng." While walking out and heading to Luo Yishan's place, Mu Ran was complaining to Yuan Meng on the phone.
"Sister Meng Meng, your mother - in - law is so difficult to deal with! All she talks about every day is having children. Is she marrying a daughter - in - law or looking for a baby - making machine? Is her son a stud? I really can't stand her anymore. How did you manage to get along with such a person for almost a year! A whole year!!!"
"Pfft, Ran Ran, your analogy really hits the nail on the head. You're right, he is a scumbag and a stud. If it weren't for Chai Yanyu, why would we have to suffer like this! Well, actually, she's not that hard to deal with. As long as you cry, throw a tantrum, and look innocent, you can handle her. And she's most afraid of my crying tactic. Last time, I pretended to be weak and cried to annoy her. Then I pretended to be sick and couldn't stand steadily and fell down, breaking several of her antiques. Her expression at that time was really something!"
"You're amazing, Sister Meng Meng. I've learned. When I get back, I'll come up with a strategy to deal with the mother - in - law. Next time she asks you to have children, I'll fight her properly!"
Yuan Meng then detailed to Mu Ran how to perfectly combine the venomous - tongue and heart - piercing way of speaking with her crying tactic, aiming to drive Yu Luqing crazy.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Luo Yishan's place. Luo Yishan looked at Yuan Meng's face after makeup, which was almost the same as Mu Ran's, and couldn't help exclaiming that makeup was really magic! The three of them joked for a while. Then Yuan Meng changed her clothes, did her makeup, and went to the company. Mu Ran left first and would wait for Yuan Meng to call her to be the stand - in again.
Yuan Meng adjusted her mood, put on a cute smile, and walked into the company.
...
Along the way, many people greeted Yuan Meng. They were all colleagues she had worked with. Everyone was very friendly and kind to her.
Yuan Meng took a deep breath and felt that she was falling more and more in love with this job.
"Sister Meng Meng, you're here!"
Just as Yuan Meng was about to enter Shen Qingtong's office, she heard Yan Ke'er, who was sitting at the door, greeting her.
Yan Ke'er was sitting obediently on the chair at the door, holding a kraft paper bag in her hand. There seemed to be something to eat in it, and it was still steaming.
"Ke'er, why don't you go in?"
"Oh! I'm about to eat. The smell is too strong, so I'm eating here." As she said, Yan Ke'er opened the wrapping paper. It was a pancake roll.
"Hey, it smells so good!"
"Oh～Ke'er!"
Before Yan Ke'er could react, Yuan Meng quickly sat next to her and took a bite of her pancake roll while she was looking up.
"Um～It's so fragrant and delicious! The food Ke'er buys is really delicious!" Yuan Meng took out a small packet of tissues from her pocket, wiped her mouth, and said, "The pancake is good. Ke'er, you can eat slowly. I'm going to find Sister Shen!"
Yuan Meng strolled into the agent's office leisurely. Before she could sit down, she heard a scream from outside. "Sister Meng Meng, your bite... Why is it half of the pancake! ! ! ! !"
Yuan Meng felt Shen Qingtong's questioning look and couldn't help shrugging her shoulders.
"I... I don't know what's wrong with Ke'er. I'll ask her when I go out later... Hehe..."
Seeing her pretending to be innocent, Shen Qingtong also laughed. "Stop joking. Let's get down to business." Shen Qingtong poured a glass of water for Yuan Meng and sat opposite her.
"The person in charge of this variety show just called me. This episode is different from the previous ones. The shooting location won't be announced. The program team deliberately wants to create a sense of mystery. You may have to suffer a bit. But the good thing is that you can bring your own luggage. However, I don't suggest you bring too much. In case there are parts in the recording where you have to carry your luggage around, too much luggage will only be a burden. So, one suitcase. No negotiation."
Based on her experience and for Yuan Meng's sake, Shen Qingtong made the decision for her.
"Ah... Just one suitcase... But..." Yuan Meng pouted her little mouth and looked at Shen Qingtong with big, aggrieved eyes.
"But I have a lot of things to bring! First of all, as a female actress, I definitely have a lot of cosmetics and skin - care products. These will fill half of the suitcase. And... My clothes might even need a whole suitcase. Sister Shen, you're the best. I... I can carry them. Let me bring more!"
"I'm also thinking about you. Don't worry. If you listen to me and bring less today, you'll definitely thank me during the recording."
Shen Qingtong insisted that Yuan Meng shouldn't bring too much. Just as they were arguing back and forth, Yuan Meng's phone rang.
"It's Yuan Xingcheng!" Yuan Meng answered the phone, thinking that it might be about the variety show.
"Yuan Meng... Cough... Do you know the destination of this variety show?"
Yuan Meng was surprised that Yuan Xingcheng would ask her this. Didn't the program team not tell anyone?
"I don't know... Sister Shen said the program team refused to say, and there's nothing we can do..."
"Um... Actually, the program team just told me that it's... going to record in a small village. I guessed that the program team probably didn't tell you, so I'm here to give you the news!"
Yuan Xingcheng's tone was full of self - praise, as if he was saying "Praise me! Praise me!"
"Wow, Xingcheng, you're so amazing. The program team even told you this!" While falsely praising Yuan Xingcheng, Yuan Meng looked at Shen Qingtong with a disdainful look, which clearly said: Why didn't the program team tell you! ! !
"Xingcheng, I heard that we can bring luggage for this recording. How much luggage are you going to bring?" Yuan Meng was also thinking about how to handle her luggage. Well, Yuan Xingcheng just came along. After all, her stupid nephew was there for the taking.
"Oh... I don't have much luggage. I'll just bring a few clothes. Probably a travel bag."
Yuan Xingcheng answered casually. He didn't realize the importance of this question.
"Oh～～Well... Xingcheng, you know that girls may have... more luggage. Could you help me carry my luggage then?" Yuan Meng said to Yuan Xingcheng in a cute and coquettish tone.
Yuan Xingcheng thought it was no big deal. Carrying luggage was nothing. Even if Yuan Meng didn't ask, he should help. So he agreed to her request.
"Thank you, Xingcheng! Then it's settled. See you on the shooting day!"
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Meng looked at Shen Qingtong with a sly smile.
"Sister Shen, someone will help me carry my luggage! So... Can I bring two suitcases?"
Yuan Meng fluttered her big eyes, full of expectation.
