Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 137 Whoever becomes your girlfriend in the future will be blessed

Li Qiutang had a good plan. He would cook two dishes, invite Liu Yifei over, give her a small gift, and then take her to see a movie. If time permitted, he could also book a small private room for the two of them to sing, as he knew Liu Yifei liked to sing.

But he never expected that Liu Yifei would bring Yang Mi with her.

Doesn’t she understand the principle of not bringing guests home?
Or maybe she understands but is pretending not to understand today.

Li Qiutang is more inclined to the latter statement. After all, Liu Yifei is 22 years old. How could she not know such a simple truth?

Then why didn't she pretend not to understand and brought Yang Mi here today?
A big reason was that she might have realized what Li Qiutang meant. She was not a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. Li Qiutang's behavior in recent times had been very obvious. She felt it was a bit embarrassing to go to Li Qiutang's house for dinner, so she brought a close friend with her.

If she didn't want to come, she could have refused Li Qiutang, but Liu Yifei came anyway.

Was it because of the director's pressure on the actors or was she not resistant to contact with herself?
Li Qiutang thought it was the latter.

Girls are shy and embarrassed to come to my house for dinner alone, so it's normal for them to bring a friend to cover for them. It was polite of them not to bring their mother along.

After figuring this out, Li Qiutang worked even harder.

But in fact, Li Qiutang guessed half right.

Liu Yifei was indeed embarrassed to come to Li Qiutang's house for dinner alone, but she really didn't know the principle of not bringing guests along.

She agreed to go to Li Qiutang's house for dinner that night, and the next day she contacted Yang Mi, who was also in Yanjing - Shu Chang was filming in another place - and invited her to go with her.

Liu Yifei doesn't know that it's not advisable to bring guests along, so how could the villain Yang Mi not know this?

But she didn't say it, because she wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Li Qiutang. The only time she met Li Qiutang was at the celebration party of "Famous" last year, and they didn't say a few words in total.

The excuse Liu Yifei gave to her mother when she went out today was that she had made an appointment with Yang Mi to go out together.

It wasn't really an excuse. He did make an appointment with Yang Mi to go out shopping together, but we went to Li Qiutang's house.

Liu Xiaoli knew Yang Mi, of course. She also encouraged her daughter to go out and have fun more often, and she didn't think too much about it at the time.

Liu Yifei planned to leave at 5 o'clock, go to Li Qiutang's house for dinner, sit and chat for a while, and come back at 8 o'clock in the evening.

But Yang Mi told her: "How can you come to my house at mealtime? It's so rude."

Liu Yifei thought about it and felt that it was quite impolite to go there at mealtime.

He immediately drove out to pick up Yang Mi.

After picking up Yang Mi, the two went to buy some things.

"When you visit someone's home, even if it's just a bag of fruit or a can of milk, it's a token of your thoughtfulness, and it's better than going empty-handed." Yang Mi taught Liu Yifei again.

Liu Yifei's home never had any guests all year round, and she and her daughter seldom visited other people's homes. She didn't understand these interpersonal relationships, and Liu Xiaoli never thought of teaching her.

Liu Yifei bought a few boxes of fruit, Yang Mi bought some snacks, and the two of them went to Li Qiutang's house in a car.

It was the first time for both of them to come to Li Qiutang's house.

"Is he staying in a hotel?" Yang Mi asked as Liu Yifei's Cayenne drove into the hotel apartment parking lot.

Liu Yifei knew the reason and explained to her: "Staying in a hotel is convenient and privacy is guaranteed. He lives alone, so it's not cost-effective to buy a house and leave it there. It's better to stay in a hotel."

"Right."

ding dong~
"I'm coming, I'm coming." Li Qiutang was still packing ingredients. She wiped her hands and went to open the door.

There were two beautiful girls standing in front of the door.

"Come in, come in." Li Qiutang welcomed the two of them in with a smile, and then said politely, "Come on, buy something."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "It's not right to come empty-handed when visiting someone." Yang and Liu put their things aside.

"I can't even finish all the fruit. If you buy it and leave it there, it will go bad."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Then eat mine first today."

Li Qiutang asked them to sit down and said, "I told you guys you wouldn't be here so soon. Please sit down first. I'm cleaning up the kitchen."

Li Qiutang poured tea for the two of them, and took out some snacks and fruits to entertain them.

"You can order whatever you want. I don't often have guests here. If you want to watch TV, turn it on yourself. The remote control is right here."

The two women naturally agreed.

After sitting for a while, Yang Mi stood up and said to Li Qiutang who was busy in the kitchen: "Director, can I see your house?"

"Look around." Li Qiutang turned around and said, "This is a two-bedroom apartment. That one is the bedroom, and I turned that room into a study. You can look around."

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei walked and looked slowly in the room.

The room is not big and it only takes three to five minutes to finish the tour.

It was also Liu Yifei's first time to visit Li Qiutang's residence. After seeing it, she laughed and said, "I thought the director's house would be different."

Li Qiutang smiled and said, "What do you imagine the director's house to look like?"

Liu Yifei said: "You need to have a lot of books and a lot of discs."

Li Qiutang pointed to her TV cabinet and said, "Isn't it right there?" Liu Yifei then saw that there were many movie discs stacked in the TV cabinet.

Li Qiutang said: "This is the Blu-ray disc I collected. The TV belongs to the hotel, but the audio equipment is my own."

After saying that, Li Qiutang also laughed: "I thought that after installing the good equipment, I would be able to watch two more movies, but it turned out not to be the case. After the equipment was installed, I opened it less than 10 times. Haha."

After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Qiutang went back to the kitchen to busy herself.

"You can order whatever you want, just like you are at home."

The two girls turned on the TV but didn't watch it. Instead, they sat together and chatted.

Yang Mi said: "I never thought he could cook."

Liu Yifei told Yang Mi about her experience attending his wrap dinner for The Night the Comet Came in 06: "Director Qiu Tang cooks delicious meals. He cooked for the entire crew of more than people by himself."

Yang Mi asked, "Xixi, can you cook?"

Liu Yifei shook her head and said with a smile: "Not really, haha."

As the two girls were talking, Li Qiutang's voice came from the kitchen: "Yifei."

"Hey."

"Please help me peel the garlic." Li Qiutang was not familiar with Yang Mi, so he could only ask Liu Yifei to help.

"Okay." Liu Yifei didn't act pretentiously. She trotted into the kitchen and took out two heads of garlic.

"Just tell us what else you want us to do." Yang Mi said, "We can't just eat and not do anything."

"That's all. Just peel these two heads of garlic. I'll take my time and it will be done soon." Li Qiutang said.

But frequent phone calls would interrupt Li Qiutang's cooking rhythm.

"Oh, no, you should talk to Cao Ping about this."

"Mr. X, this is easy to talk about. Okay, okay, I'll treat you in a few days, no problem."

"You go there in person and talk to Mango TV when you come back."

"We must get the copyright of this drama. Listen to me. We are not afraid of melodrama, but we are afraid of not having melodrama."

There was also a long-distance call. Li Qiutang talked a lot on the phone, but Yang Mi didn't understand.

"He is so busy." Yang Mi whispered to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei knows a lot of inside information: "He is now starting his own company and is very busy. He is in charge of all matters of the company, big and small. He is in the post-production of "The Sound of Wind" and is preparing for "In Time."

"In Time? What is this? His new play?" Yang Mi didn't know the existence of this play.

"Yes, for the new drama, he often travels between Korea and the United States."

Yang Mi realized something was wrong and joked, "How do you know he travels between Korea and the United States? You know a lot about him."

"Oh, I went to their crew for an audition, so it's normal for me to know some inside information." What a good reason!
But Yang Mi is not a fool. Would she believe what Liu Yifei said?
At six o'clock in the evening, Li Qiutang called for dinner.

"Sorry for the long wait. Come and sit down. You're welcome."

The two guests were seated.

"It's not any delicacies from land or sea, just some home-cooked dishes." Li Qiutang served the dishes.

"Just make something casual. We're not here to eat delicacies."

But the table was still full.

"I was originally planning to stew pork elbows, but they are too oily and greasy, and you girls might not like them. So I made fish soup instead. I kept them in a bucket overnight and killed them today so they are fresh. You can try them."

"Would you like something to drink? I have a lot of drinks here."

But Liu Yifei drove here and did not drink.

"Yifei doesn't want to drink, why don't you drink some?" Li Qiutang said to Yang Mi.

"Have a drink please." Yang Mi was not polite.

Li Qiutang wanted to open a bottle of red wine, but Yang Mi said she wanted to drink white wine.

Li Qiutang smiled: "Okay, it seems you can drink it."

"It's ok. I'm drinking with my dad at home."

Before drinking, Yang Mi tasted the dish and praised it, "It's delicious. You make good movies and cook delicious food. Whoever becomes your girlfriend in the future will be blessed."

Li Qiutang smiled and said, "If it tastes good, eat more."

Li Qiutang didn't know that when Yang Mi said this, she gently kicked Liu Yifei under the table.

Liu Yifei also nodded lightly and said that Li Qiutang's cooking was delicious, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
