Love Apartment: Lying down makes me happy

Meijia snatched the order form, and seeing that her goal had been achieved, she stopped pretending and smiled contemptuously: "Of course, actors don't have to pay rent, right?"

"Don't try to cheat me this time!"

He then brandished the receipt: "I have a written agreement!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, can't you guys show a little respect for a rising star?" Zi Qiao immediately retorted.

Mika scoffed, "Ha, do you think we're in a novel?!"

Do you expect me to find a bunch of readers, A, B, C, and D, to surround you?

After hearing this, Hu Yifei immediately voiced her support for Meijia: "We're not trying to discourage you, but the men's football team winning the World Cup is about as outrageous as yours!"

Seeing this, Chen Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, what a smooth scheme!"

However, he didn't forget to diligently remind him, "What's your agent's name again? Just have Zhanbo look her up online, he'll know."

There are tons of shell companies out there these days, you still need to be careful to distinguish them!

"Huh? Me?!" Zhanbo, who had been quietly watching the show, suddenly froze, then realized what he was doing and said, "That's not a good idea, invading other people's privacy is illegal!"

Lu Ziqiao's cerebellum instantly shrank, and it took him a while to react: "Hey, isn't this a blow to my morale?!"

Zhanbo also put down his book and began to explain seriously:

"It's not that we're trying to discourage you, but there are just too many talent agencies out there now. If you smashed ten people with a brick, nine of them would be agents!"

Ziqiao thought for a moment, then bent down and chuckled, "You guys are probably just jealous that I was discovered by a talent scout while you weren't!"

Chen Xiaobai was speechless. Who would be jealous of him? It's impossible to reason with such a damned person!

No wonder everyone just stood by and watched when they were arguing; anyone would be angry in that situation!

"Um... I disagree with that. What makes you better than me? Why would anyone choose you?"

Ziqiao stared intently at Chen Xiaobai, examining him from top to bottom, then back to top again, for a long time before falling silent...

(Ziqiao counts on his fingers, muttering to himself: Taller than me, more handsome than me, richer than me, younger than me... Is there any justice in this world?!) (Narrator)

He found that this seemed to be the case, but he was still unconvinced and stubbornly retorted:

"You don't understand. It's like saying even good wine needs a good location. Having the right conditions isn't enough. You don't have that kind of luck, but I am the chosen one, the one everyone hopes for!"

As he spoke, Lu Ziqiao leaned closer and put his arm around Chen Xiaobai's shoulder: "How about it, why don't you join me? I'll introduce you to Sister Shan!"

His words elicited a speechless eye roll from the crowd. They really didn't know how he could be so confident as to utter such narcissistic and childish remarks.

But Ziqiao didn't care at all.

Chen Xiaobai gave an awkward laugh, then thought about the legendary "Lightning Gorge" and decided to pass...

Why make yourself suffer for no reason!

Haven't you seen how anyone who's had contact with her ended up badly?

Hu Yifei: "The one riding a white horse isn't necessarily a prince; he could also be Tang Sanzang (the monk in Journey to the West)."

Lu Zhanbo: "These two sentences are too old-fashioned; there are new ones online!"

"Not everyone who burns incense is a monk; they could also be a panda!"

Hu Yifei: "Not everyone with a tattoo is a thug; he could be Yue Fei!"

Chen Meijia: "Not everything that can fly is a big bird; it could also be..."

Lu Ziqiao was instantly furious, but a phone call interrupted his thoughts. He quickly answered it, pointing at the screen and boasting, "Look, look, the manager!!!"

"Hey, Sister Shan~"

As soon as the call connected, Sister Shan's hearty voice came through the phone: "Kid, you're in luck! I gave your information to a film crew, and their producer is very satisfied. They want you to play the male lead!"

......

Hearing Sister Shan's voice and seeing Lu Ziqiao's fawning manner, everyone suppressed a laugh.

Until the call ended.

Lu Ziqiao walked over with a smug look on his face: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that? I'm going to shoot an advertisement!"

"What ad?"

"An advertisement for a foot massage parlor!"

"Wow~" Mika exclaimed in admiration at the opportune moment, then her expression changed in a flash: "I knew I wouldn't show my face!"

Hu Yifei immediately retorted sarcastically, "It's a good thing not to lose face. We can't afford to lose face like that. People might even think that the foot massage parlor is located in our house!"

This immediately drew a burst of snickers.

Chen Xiaobai rubbed his temples. Come to think of it, Meijia's departure was also triggered by this episode.

When the two pretended to argue and break up, Lu Ziqiao reopened Meijia's old wounds, which caused Meijia to get really angry.

After that...

Let's try our best to salvage this situation!

He immediately said seriously, "Ziqiao, it's not that we're jealous of you, nor are we trying to be sarcastic. It's just that we know your capabilities. You might not be happy about this, but it's the truth!"

If you were in my world, getting an ad for a foot massage parlor would be no problem!

Of course, Chen Xiaobai didn't say that.

Ziqiao: "Thank you all!"

But Chen Xiaobai seemed to be deep in thought. Lu Ziqiao had just said he was preparing to film an advertisement for a foot massage parlor, right?

By the way, the person who rented their own shop should have almost finished the renovations by now.

Could it be that company?!

That can't be right. Why would anyone choose this guy's feet over a pretty girl's...?

Is this thing's big toe also cute?

After chatting with them for a while, I returned to 3602.

Chen Xiaobai immediately contacted the tenants of the foot massage parlor and confirmed the information several times.

They definitely didn't use Lü Ziqiao.

But it's also Lu Ziqiao.

After some effort, Chen Xiaobai understood.

Let's say a foot massage parlor is A. A requests to shoot an advertisement, B accepts the order, but B then subcontracts the order to C, C then subcontracts it to D...

After going through layers of transfers, it ended up in Sister Shan's shell company, and then she tricked a novice like Lu Ziqiao into filming it.

But here is the problem.

After going down through the layers, there was hardly any reward left, which means that the stack of US dollars given by Lightning Gorge was probably fake!

That makes sense; the stack of money hadn't even warmed up in Ziqiao's hands before it was taken back.

I can't even see people I know!

Since that's the case, let's just wait for her to come to us herself...

With that thought in mind, Chen Xiaobai went into the room.

He immediately spotted Guan Gu discussing something with Zi Qiao, and raised his hand to greet them: "Hi, Guan Gu-kun!"

"Hey, Xiaobai!" Guan Gu greeted him warmly, then his eyes lit up suddenly: "Xiaobai, aren't you a writer? Why don't we go together later? What if a director sees us and adapts it into a movie!"

It seems the two of them have already discussed it!

Chen Xiaobai sighed inwardly. What a good child. Who knows how much suffering he'll endure later...

"I'm not going. You guys...have fun!"

After giving a direct and straightforward rejection, Chen Xiaobai turned and left.

Day by day.

He'd be better off spending that time writing so his dear readers can see his new book soon!

I'm begging for your support, please give me five stars, I'm humbly pleading with you all, my esteemed officials!
