"I don't know, but I guess they're here to test me. You know, Lisa's about to be promoted to director, so the deputy director position is vacant."

At this crucial juncture, Nuolan, the station's star performer, just happened to come to the late-night slot for some unknown reason, and insisted on being paired with someone else, choosing me as her partner.

"I think this was actually sent by the higher-ups to specifically test me. Do you think my analysis is correct?" Zeng Xiaoxian said smugly.

"Now that you mention it, it does make some sense," Youyou thought to herself.

"Then the higher-ups will probably be disappointed, letting that Nuolan waste a lot of time," Yifei said with an exaggerated laugh.

"No wonder you volunteered to host Nuolan, treating her to a meal and carrying her luggage. It was all to make a good impression, Teacher Zeng. You're quite clever," Youyou praised.

"Of course, after all, your brother Xian hasn't been wasting his years!" Zeng Xiaoxian said proudly.

"Tch, this is boring. I thought there would be some new excitement to see." Meijia instantly lost her spirit.

"You're unhappy that nothing serious happened, aren't you? Can't you find something worthwhile to do all day? Stop spreading rumors and having fun everywhere." Zeng Xiaoxian said speechlessly.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Zeng. It's all because my life has been so boring and I have so much free time lately. There's no fun at all, and no one to play with, so that's why I..." Meijia said apologetically.

"Alright, alright, I forgive you. By the way, don't you have a pet shop? How come you have free time? Besides, aren't Youyou and Yifei keeping you company?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked, puzzled.

"There is a pet store, but the problem is that it makes no difference whether I am there or not. The store is already fully staffed and everyone is doing their own job, so I can't help at all."

Everything else was arranged by Dali, so I didn't have a chance to interfere. Besides, Youyou and the others are usually very busy too.

Yifei usually has to teach classes, Youyou spends most of her time on the film set, Curry Sauce is taking classes and tutoring every day, and Wanyu has been inseparable from Zhanbo lately.

I won't even mention Dali, so I've been really bored lately. Heavens, I want a really handsome guy to keep me company too! Meijia clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Meijia, I've been writing my mid-year summary lately, so I haven't had much time to spend with you. But don't worry, once I finish this mid-year summary, we'll go out for barbecue together." Yifei patted Meijia's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, Meijia. I've been busy with auditions and running around lately, so I haven't had much time. But don't worry, I'll definitely take you shopping when I have time," Youyou said apologetically.

"It's alright, it's a good thing you're all busy. It means your careers are thriving, and I, as your sister, am incredibly proud," Meijia said with a smile.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Meijia, remember to delete those photos and videos. Don't let anyone else see them, or your brother Xian's reputation will be ruined," Zeng Xiaoxian instructed.

"Okay, no problem, I'll delete it later." Meijia took back her phone.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so wise, old man. When did you become so wise? Is it because you've been a master of flattery all your life?" Yifei mocked.

"You're the one flattering me. I'm just enduring this humiliation for now. Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you. By the way, Youyou, where are Guan Gu and Qiao Ren? I haven't seen them." Zeng Xiaoxian asked.

"Oh, them? They went to sign up for some kind of 'Little Plate Chicken Cup' competition early this morning. They said they wanted to show others how good the guys from Love Apartment are. I don't understand." Youyou shook her head.

"Just say I forgot something. I actually forgot about the small plate chicken cup. It's all your fault for gossiping, making me forget everything."

"Those two ungrateful people, Guan Gu and Zi Qiao, didn't even call me when they signed up! How could they have passed the first round without me? No way, I have to go sign up right away!" Zeng Xiaoxian hurriedly flipped over the sofa and walked towards the door.

"The 'Little Plate Chicken Cup'? What kind of competition is that? It's a competition to eat little plate chicken! I want to sign up too!" Meijia exclaimed excitedly.

"Meijia, this 'Little Chicken Cup' isn't about eating small plates of chicken. It's a game competition, I think it's a shooting game called CS," Youyou explained.

"Ugh! I got all excited for nothing. It's not called 'small plate chicken,' it's called 'small plate chicken cup.'" Meijia waved her hands.

"Because this competition is sponsored by the Xiaopanji Cup, you know what I mean. Besides, Meijia, if you want to eat something delicious, just go to a bar or restaurant. I guarantee you'll eat your fill," Youyou reassured her.

"But, isn't it a bit inappropriate to keep going there to freeload?" Mika said dejectedly.

"No, you know Zhang Wei's personality after all these years, don't you? Just go ahead and do it without worry. I guarantee no one will say anything about you," Yifei said softly.

"That's exactly what I've been waiting for! Here comes the delicious food!" Mika excitedly ran towards the door.

Yifei and Youyou exchanged a glance, then shook their heads and smiled at the same time.

(Afternoon) 3602.

"Ziqiao, I already said I'm not playing games, I want to watch a movie with Wanyu!" Zhanbo said with a bitter face.

"Zhanbo, you guys have been together long enough, haven't you? You haven't been apart since that night, and you haven't participated in any group activities in a long time." Guangu looked at his phone.

"Zhanbo, you should also participate in group activities. It's been so many days, and the occasional separation is beneficial for you and Wanyu to strengthen your relationship."

"Zhang Wei took time out of his busy schedule to come and defend the honor of us Love Apartment men, so stop whining, don't you agree, Zhang Wei?" Zi Qiao nodded.

"If I wasn't afraid that Dali would beat you to death in a fit of anger, I wouldn't have come over," Zhang Wei said speechlessly.

"Ziqiao, what did you do?" Guangu asked.

"It's nothing, I was just trying to reason with Zhang Wei." Zi Qiao shrugged.

"What you're calling reasoning? No good person would listen to reasoning all day long, and I couldn't shake you off. It gave me a headache. If I hadn't stopped Dali in time, you'd be lying in the hospital by now," Zhang Wei said speechlessly.

"Zhang Wei, please understand, I have no choice but to accept this. There are only a few boys in our apartment."

"If Teacher Zeng weren't so incompetent, I wouldn't have called you. If you want to blame someone, blame Teacher Zeng," Ziqiao argued.

"Alright, alright, we're already here, let's not talk about this anymore, let's finish this quickly. I came here while Dali was taking a nap, so let's hurry up."

"But I have to state upfront that I'm really not good at games. If you're bad, don't blame me. I just learned the basic rules this morning," Zhang Wei said earnestly.

"It's alright, I, Lü Xiaobu, am here. You just need to lie down and relax. I'll lead you all the way to the finals and win the championship!" Ziqiao said confidently.

P.S.: Old Bu! You bastard!
