Chapter 292

~27 min read 5,259 words

104 minutes after the film started,

As the camera zoomed in, the black-and-white photo of Lao San and Liu Jingqiu taken at the photo studio became larger and larger on the screen, finally filling the entire screen of the screening room.

In that frozen image, Chen Nuo gazed at the camera, smiling to reveal a mouthful of white teeth.

Beside him, Liu Qi Yifei, with two small braids, also wore a happy smile.

The screen went black, and the rough cut of "Under the Hawthorn Tree" finished playing.

In the screening room with the new picture, warm applause erupted.

Liu Liu Xiaoli's eyes were filled with tears, her emotions stirred; during the viewing process, she was truly completely immersed.

After watching, besides being moved by the love, she missed her youth.

She felt that compared to the two recent movies she watched, although "Mother" was good, there was still a gap compared to "Hawthorn Tree."

It wasn't just because Liu Qi Yifei was in the latter, but also because of Director Zhang Zhang Yimou's ingenuity, making it easier for people to understand.

Director Zhang is truly a very thoughtful director.

After each segment of the plot ended, he would have a black screen.

Using segments of voice-over subtitles to explain or advance the plot.

For example, when the screen was black, he would write a line like this: "After this conversation with Liu Jingqiu, Lao San didn't show up for several days, and Liu Jingqiu didn't know what was wrong..."

Look, how easy to understand.

Just like a tour guide,

Fully taking care of amateur audiences like her, as well as elderly groups whose understanding and memory have declined.

Chen Nuo's feelings were similar to hers.

In "Under the Hawthorn Tree," the large segments of emotional buildup and unnecessary plot they filmed were directly cut, and in the end, Director Zhang Zhang Yimou chose to use voice-over subtitles to explain.

Well done.

In this way, he was worrying for nothing.

Fan Fan Fan Binbing mentioned Ang Lee, thinking he had some friendship with Ang Lee.

He did, but Director Lee had been hanging around Hollywood for years, and his friendship definitely wouldn't reach the point of making people engage in favoritism.

Chen Nuo believed that Chairman Lee in Venice, if the pure Eastern love story edited by Director Zhang was a bit hard to understand, Ang Lee could understand it better than other foreign judges, or if he promised to go to the Golden Horse Awards again this year, he would help explain it.

That's all.

But now, it wasn't needed.

There were subtitle explanations, what else could be unclear?

Plus the translation, even a 3-year-old foreigner would know what it was about.

This was definitely Director Zhang's shocking move to abandon cumbersome lens language, switch to concise text explanations, control the film's length, and take care of middle-aged and elderly friends.

It was also Director Zhang's battle horn blown to the commercial market with this youth romance film.

However, after a brief conversation with Director Zhang, Chen Nuo discovered that Director Zhang actually had ambitions for major film festivals.

This made Chen, a former Tokyo International Film Festival judge, quite puzzled.

Chen Nuo didn't know that he was underestimating Director Zhang.

In his previous life, "Under the Hawthorn Tree" was also shortlisted for many film festivals, big and small.

Not only was it shown as the opening film in Istanbul, Hawaii, and the Hong Kong Asian Film Festival, but it even went to Berlin to participate in the competition for the Crystal Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Crystal Bear, not Golden Bear or Silver Bear.

The Crystal Bear is a major award set up by the Berlin Film Festival specifically to recognize films that are easy to understand.

Divided into the children's group under 14 and the youth group over 14.

In this regard, "Under the Hawthorn Tree" unfortunately had subtitles, not a comic strip, and wasn't simple enough, so it was divided into the youth group over 14.

In the end, Director Zhang Zhang Yimou didn't go to the scene due to important matters, and finally missed out on the shiny Crystal Bear.

Just like it missed out on every Golden Horse Award nomination list, and finally was nominated for "Best Asian Film" at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

After watching the film and congratulating Director Zhang, Chen Nuo left without saying anything.

Their class's graduation play was still in rehearsal, and that one didn't have subtitles, so it had to be handled well.

Seeing that it was only past 2 PM, if he hurried over, he could still catch the tail end.

……

……

In his previous life, Chen Nuo heard some star say in an interview that "the thing he wanted to do most was to go shopping and eat on the street."

At the time, Chen Nuo didn't take it seriously, thinking the person was too pretentious.

But now he wanted to say something similar.

Just not shopping, but getting a hotel room.

Sad.

Chen the scumbag can no longer go to outside hotels to open rooms.

Because even using someone else's ID card, there is a huge risk.

People bumped into in the elevator corridor, the hotel front desk, the doorman, and the waiter, anyone could become that mole tipping off some entertainment magazine.

Even Qi Yun, he actually knew this in his heart. Because in his previous life, there wasn't just one or two similar examples.

So, on this day, he had to introduce a friend of his to Liu Ayi at home.

"Liu Ayi, this is Gao Gao Yuanyuan. Gao Yuanyuan, this is Liu Ayi, Qi Yifei's mother."

Liu Liu Xiaoli had been in a very good mood these past few days.

Although Liu Qi Yifei's holiday syndrome started to kick in, she couldn't get her spirits up after returning to the country.

She pushed off or dragged out all the work arranged by the company, and all day long she was either sightseeing in Ziyushanzhuang or huddled in her room playing games.

But as her temporary agent, she couldn't bear to say anything harsh.

Let her rest, she's about to win Best Actress, it's fine to rest for a while.

That night, she went out for a beauty treatment and returned to see Chen Nuo sitting and talking with a beautiful woman with flowing long hair in the brightly lit living room.

The woman looked familiar; she had seen her on TV.

Hearing Chen Nuo introduce her naturally, Liu Liu Xiaoli quickly greeted the other party: "Hello Gao Yuanyuan. Nice to meet you, oh my, you are truly beautiful."

Liu Liu Xiaoli wasn't lying; she felt this girl was indeed truly beautiful.

So beautiful that a trace of doubt flashed through her mind: Chen Nuo bringing such a beautiful girl home in the middle of the night, why does it feel a bit……

No, no, Liu Liu Xiaoli immediately denied it; if there were really something, he couldn't possibly bring her home. Xixi is still here, how could Chen Nuo dare!

Liu Liu Xiaoli looked around and asked: "Where is Xixi?"

Chen Nuo said: "We chatted for a while, I saw she was sleepy, so I told her to go to sleep. Auntie, you should rest early too."

Liu Liu Xiaoli nodded: "Okay. You two chat slowly."

After that, Liu Liu Xiaoli didn't think much more, went upstairs, washed up, and rested.

Sleeping until the middle of the night, Liu Liu Xiaoli woke up as usual, her mouth a bit dry. She turned on the bedside lamp, found the water glass empty, so she yawned and went out to the first floor to pour a glass of water.

For her, this was an old habit.

As a result, when she walked into the corridor and had only taken two steps toward the first floor, Liu Liu Xiaoli was suddenly stunned.

She stopped, tilted her head, and listened carefully.

Indeed, a woman was singing softly.

As someone who has been through it, how could Liu Liu Xiaoli not know what this sound was.

Her heart suddenly began to beat violently.

When the moment arrived, she suddenly realized she didn't seem prepared.

June 3, 2009, the entertainment industry suddenly exploded with a piece of heavy news: Hong Kong superstar, the eternally single Mr. Andy Lau, got married last year.

On this day, Heavenly King Lau made public his 23-year relationship with Carol Chu and announced that the two got married last year.

While this news shattered many people's worldviews, it also affected many people.

Among them was Liu Liu Xiaoli.

After thinking for two days, she decided on this current plan.

Since Heavenly King Lau isn't hiding it, it wouldn't be too much for her to seek justice for her daughter, right?

Furthermore, you Chen Nuo were so generous and open when you were with Janice Man, but when it comes to my Liu Qi Yifei, you're being secretive?

Is that appropriate? Is it fair?

Who are you looking down on?

If it hadn't been for Liu Qi Yifei's extreme resistance to this topic, every time she tried to probe, she would throw a huge tantrum, she wouldn't have been willing to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

But now, there's no choice; if you don't risk the child, you won't catch the wolf.

Liu Qi Yifei's room was right next to hers; these days, she slept very alertly every day, but she hadn't caught any clues.

But she wasn't in a hurry.

She didn't believe that two 20-something young people who had just tasted forbidden fruit, with her having brought people to move in, living under the same roof every day, could still hold back.

As long as she caught them once and had real evidence, she wouldn't let the man continue to take the sweetness without eating the bone.

But she didn't expect that today, she was really just going out to pour water, and the thing she had been waiting for appeared so unexpectedly.

Liu Liu Xiaoli was so nervous her heart was pounding; she hesitated for a while, but finally stood on tiptoe and walked toward Chen Nuo's master bedroom.

The closer she got, the more obvious the sound coming from the air became, besides the collision of flesh, there was also a sound like a cat meowing.

In that instant, Liu Liu Xiaoli's legs went a bit soft, and her heart beat even heavier like a drum, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

Xixi, you…… when did you…… become like this?

Fortunately, just as she was about to reach the door, the woman inside let out a loud cry, and then it became quiet, otherwise Liu Liu Xiaoli doubted if she would have the courage to continue.

However……

However, this voice, it doesn't quite sound like Xixi?

Standing behind the door, Liu Liu Xiaoli's heart was truly in a battle between heaven and man for a while.

In the end, maternal responsibility outweighed the education and moral standards she had received since childhood.

She leaned carefully against the door and listened, only to hear a man and a woman talking in the bedroom.

Their voices weren't loud, so Liu Liu Xiaoli could only hear bits and pieces.

The man, of course, went without saying, but the woman's voice was a bit mature, making Liu Liu Xiaoli's heart sink.

Sure enough, this wasn't her daughter at all, it was clearly that Gao Gao Yuanyuan she had seen in the living room earlier!

"……it will be convenient later……"

"You, the boss, are also…… actually…… moving in, you're so bold. What if someone hears?"

"You think I want to? It's all Qi Yuntian…… why are you so anxious, saying another day wouldn't do, you had to come today."

"I missed you. Thinking of you winning the award in Cannes, I just……… it's a pity you didn't see, that morning……"

"Don't laugh, Brother Li Lianjie is a senior, you have to be respectful."

"I know, anyway, after you won the award that day, I went to film the next day…… his face looked so good. And that Wen Zhang…… he cracked me up. Later I heard that Wen Zhang recognized Li Lianjie as his godfather. I think it's because he was afraid it would reach your ears, afraid you'd retaliate."

"How is that possible, is my heart that small? Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's go, let's take a bath."

"Don't be in such a hurry, my legs are still soft. Tell me about your movie, now many people in the country are saying that you're just one Venice away from…… why do you think Director Zhang Zhang Yimou's…… won't work? So little confidence?"

Originally, as Liu Liu Xiaoli listened, she was both angry and annoyed, wishing she could rush in now and teach this pair of shameless dogs a lesson for Liu Qi Yifei.

Although she finally held back, she couldn't listen anymore and was about to leave, planning to bring Liu Qi Yifei to confront Chen Nuo at dawn.

However, hearing this, Liu Liu Xiaoli's footsteps, which were about to move, suddenly stopped.

"It's not that I don't have confidence." Chen Nuo in the bedroom didn't know at all that someone was eavesdropping outside the door.

The question Gao Gao Yuanyuan raised was something he had been thinking about for the past few days, and he hadn't found a perfect solution.

After all, this isn't just Zhang Zhang Yimou's movie, it's also his movie,

The temptation of the Grand Slam mentioned by Fan Fan Fan Binbing was not insignificant.

But he is just an actor, if the director wants to make a big mess, he has no way. To solve the problem, he ultimately has to rely on Zhang Zhang Yimou.

Chen Nuo thought, is cutting "Under the Hawthorn Tree" into this ghostly state a problem with Zhang Zhang Yimou's level?

Probably not.

During the filming process, Chen Nuo could clearly feel that the director's ability was definitely on point.

And aesthetic ability?

Chen Nuo didn't believe that Zhang Zhang Yimou, who directed the 2008 Olympic opening ceremony and is known for color aesthetics, couldn't see how ugly the subtitle-style narration looked in the movie when he was doing this kind of subtitle-style film?

Then why would a director who has been famous for decades suddenly go to such lengths for commerciality, to shorten the film's length, and to make it easy to understand?

Chen Nuo thought about it and could only think that Director Zhang might have gotten a bit carried away after directing the Olympics.

Thinking that with the name Zhang Zhang Yimou, when he goes to major film festivals, everyone has to give him face.

For this, it doesn't matter if the movie is a bit ugly, anyway, I want both the awards and the box office.

In other words, although this is "Hawthorn Tree" and not "A Simple Noodle Story," both movies are works built on Zhang Zhang Yimou's flamboyant mentality after the Olympics.

In a sense, they are even the same movie.

It's just that he replaced Xiao Shenyang with him, Chen Nuo. Then what will the result be?

Chen Nuo asked himself, and he couldn't say it would definitely fail.

He was just making a shallow judgment based on his experience of watching films at film festivals and his experience participating in film review in Tokyo.

He wasn't optimistic, but that didn't mean the movie would definitely flop.

So, he told Gao Gao Yuanyuan the truth: "I think Director Zhang's courage is too big, and my courage is too small, I feel the risk is too big. Haha, maybe it's also because I'm too young, my vision isn't enough, and I couldn't keep up with his rhythm."

Gao Gao Yuanyuan acted as if she didn't hear the second half of his sentence, while rubbing slowly, she asked with full worry: "Then isn't that too much of a pity? Didn't you say that you and Liu Qi Yifei both performed well in it and had good chemistry."

Regarding this, Chen Nuo felt he could just let it go, but Liu Qi Yifei was indeed a bit of a pity.

Liu Qi Yifei's performance in this movie was just as he felt on set.

If Director Zhang hadn't cut the movie so simply, even if Venice couldn't be won, trying for the Golden Horse or Hong Kong Film Awards wasn't entirely impossible.

However, he could also think it through.

What's the use of winning Best Actress, looking at how lazy that woman has been these past few days, giving her a Best Actress trophy is also a waste, it will only fuel her arrogant laziness.

If Liu Qi Yifei were replaced by Fan Fan Fan Binbing, Chen Nuo felt he would definitely think of another way.

But now…… just wash up and sleep.

"What's the pity, it's just Venice, if we can't win, we can't win. There isn't only one director in the world named Zhang Zhang Yimou. If Zhang Zhang Yimou doesn't work, then I'll find Zhang Zhang Yiyi."

"If, if there's a chance in the future, can you bring me along?"

"You?"

"Yeah, bring me along, okay?" Gao Gao Yuanyuan said in a sweet voice, speeding up her movements.

Chen Nuo closed his eyes, feeling that Gao Gao Yuanyuan's hand skills were getting more and more proficient, "Acting is something, how can I bring you along? That still has to depend on yourself……"

"Fan Fan Fan Binbing, Liu Qi Yifei, do they all rely on themselves? Everyone says you are the best at training actresses. I felt it when I was filming 'Blind Shaft.' Okay? If it really doesn't work, I'll go learn that…… next time let you try the feeling. How about it?"

"Hmm…… let's see how you perform……"

Liu Liu Xiaoli didn't listen anymore.

Liu Ayi didn't have any strange hobbies.

Furthermore, she was now occupied by one thought: Chen Nuo didn't think "Hawthorn Tree" could win an award, and Liu Qi Yifei could win Best Actress!!!

For Liu Liu Xiaoli, this was 100 times more important than Chen Nuo cheating.

In her heart, even if Chen Nuo slept with 100 women, it absolutely wasn't as important as one Best Actress trophy for Liu Qi Yifei.

What are men anyway.

Liu Ayi had long seen through it.

Angry is angry, not worth it is not worth it, but Liu Liu Xiaoli asked herself, with Chen Nuo's current status, even if there were no Gao Gao Yuanyuan now, there would be Li Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Gao Yuanyuan later.

On the long road of life, these are all matters of time.

The point she was just angry about wasn't that Chen Nuo and Gao Gao Yuanyuan had something going on, but that Chen Nuo didn't care at all, bringing an outside wild woman home in broad daylight. He didn't care about Liu Qi Yifei's existence at all.

However, now, these small matters of love were temporarily put aside by Liu Liu Xiaoli.

If it were someone else who wasn't optimistic, Liu Liu Xiaoli definitely wouldn't feel there was any problem.

But who is Chen Nuo?

This trip to Cannes, Liu Liu Xiaoli was completely convinced.

It is said that when he started filming in Korea, he told everyone in the crew that he was filming this movie to win Best Actor in Cannes.

As a result, he really won.

For this, he even specially returned to Korea to treat hundreds of people to a meal.

What kind of concept is this?

That's Cannes! Not some village film festival!

For this, the media in the country praised him to the skies, and Liu Liu Xiaoli felt it wasn't an exaggeration at all.

He said Zhang Zhang Yimou's path was crooked, his heart was too wild,

Liu Qi Yifei's Best Actress trophy was in jeopardy,

Before Liu Liu Xiaoli's eyes, it was as if she could already see Zhang Zhang Yimou's empty-handedness and Liu Qi Yifei's disappointed expression of gaining nothing.

What to do?

What to do?

Liu Liu Xiaoli didn't even pour water, walked back to the bedroom in a daze, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to think of a countermeasure.

She thought for a whole day, and this day she didn't even leave the bedroom door, huddled on the bed. When Liu Qi Yifei came to see her, she also pushed it off as not feeling well, and didn't mention a word about what she discovered last night.

Even waiting until past 8 PM, she only drank a little white rice porridge brought by Liu Qi Yifei.

Until 10:30 PM, when everything was silent, she suddenly turned over, got out of bed, and knocked on Chen Nuo's door.

Chen Nuo had just finished taking a shower.

These past few days, he joined the rehearsal of the graduation play, which was quite hard.

Li Er told him there was no singing or dancing, but that 30-something director surnamed Niu acted as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

He only appeared for a minute or two at the end, but he acted as if if you didn't dance twice and sing two lines, I'd kneel for you.

He even kept saying: "Recently there was a vote on the internet about your next movie. Musical films are second only to pornographic films, ranking second on the list of most wanted to see. This shows that everyone really wants to see you sing and dance again."

At the time, after hearing him finish,

If it weren't for Director Niu speaking seriously and affectionately,

Reminding him of his hometown Chengdu, reminding him of Qi Yuntian, reminding him of Hanif Kureishi who helped him vote in Cannes, Chen Nuo almost moved to hit someone.

Even in the end, out of consideration for group sentiment, he nodded and agreed to dance for ten seconds.

Without Xia Xia Yehe as a teacher, ten seconds was also very difficult for him.

This day he practiced for half a day, but felt he didn't grasp the point, and broke into a sweat.

After returning at night and taking a shower, he was just about to read the "Inception" script and go to sleep, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

After opening the door, Chen Nuo didn't expect Liu Liu Xiaoli to come find him so late, and asked in surprise: "So late, is there something, Auntie?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli said calmly: "Xiao Chen, is it convenient to go in and sit for a while?"

Chen Nuo looked back at the spacious room with a large bed, hesitated for a moment, stepped aside and said: "Hmm, okay, please come in."

Walking into Chen Nuo's room, Liu Liu Xiaoli didn't feel there was any problem, but she didn't have the nerve to sit on the bed; after finding a stool and sitting down, she asked directly: "About this Hawthorn Tree, Xiao Chen, can you think of a way? If Xixi misses this time, it's really a pity. You and her have that kind of relationship after all, right? Can you help Xixi?"

Chen Nuo was stunned.

First, he didn't expect Liu Liu Xiaoli to come find him in the middle of the night to chat about this,

Second, what kind of relationship does he have with Liu Qi Yifei?

He was about to open his mouth to ask,

But Liu Liu Xiaoli had thought a lot today, thought a lot, and even deliberately chose this time, waiting for Liu Qi Yifei to fall asleep, not wanting to be heard by her.

Because what she was going to talk about was an adult's interest exchange.

Now what she really wanted to say had just begun.

Before Chen Nuo could speak, she continued: "Xiao Chen, Auntie will tell you the truth, before you, my arrangement was for Xixi to fight for her career before 30, and after 30, then talk about love. But now that things have developed like this, I can only accept it."

"I also know you have other women. Auntie promises you, as long as you help Xixi this time, I will definitely keep my mouth shut in the future. I won't ask about the two of you again, whatever you want to do."

"Okay? Xiao Chen."

When Liu Liu Xiaoli said this, she was truly full of bitterness.

Any mother couldn't possibly conspire with a cheating man to hide it from her daughter.

However, the temptation of Best Actress was truly too great.

Let alone Venice or Berlin, Liu Liu Xiaoli felt that even if it were a Golden Rooster or Hundred Flowers Award, from then on, in front of Liu Qi Yifei's name, there would be an extra title of Best Actress.

In this way, she would pull a gap of at least ten years from her peers.

Compared to that, what are men?

This is the capital to advance and retreat freely in the future!

Hearing this, Chen Nuo couldn't help but know that Liu Liu Xiaoli had thought too much.

And most likely she had also discovered his affair with Gao Gao Yuanyuan.

But he didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.

He is also single now, isn't it very normal for single men and women to do things?

If he felt there was a problem after Liu Liu Xiaoli or Liu Qi Yifei discovered it, he couldn't have brought Gao Gao Yuanyuan back.

Seeing Liu Liu Xiaoli's serious appearance, he couldn't help but find it funny, and explained: "Liu Ayi, you might have misunderstood, I really am just friends with Liu Qi Yifei. I don't know where you got the idea that I have another relationship with her, but I think you must have heard wrong or seen wrong."

That slap of yours, hitting Xixi's bottom, I saw it clearly.

Could it be wrong?

Could this be something friends do?

Liu Liu Xiaoli felt her heart sink when she heard the word "misunderstanding," and felt even more stifled when she heard the man's typical denial, sitting there eating and wiping his mouth without admitting it.

But she thought carefully, and she felt she had no way to deal with the other party.

Even threatening to make Xixi leave him, what effect could that have?

She heard it clearly that night.

If she knew that she, the mother, took the initiative to bring Liu Qi Yifei to give up her position, Gao Gao Yuanyuan would probably laugh until her face broke.

Furthermore, who knows how many actresses are outside, like Gao Gao Yuanyuan, hoping he will bring them along.

No, absolutely impossible.

As long as Xixi still lives in this house, if it doesn't work this time, there's next time.

It's absolutely impossible to vacate the position and cheaply benefit the wild woman outside.

But, this time?

Xixi performed so well, are we really giving up?

Liu Liu Xiaoli thought about it, but still wasn't reconciled, and finally made up her mind to risk it and gamble once.

She said with a pale face: "Okay, even if you're friends, then as friends, Xiao Chen, can you help her? Just take it as Auntie begging you, okay? A Best Actress award can really help Xixi a lot, this isn't just because I'm her mother, but also because I'm her agent, Chen Zong, or should I kneel for you……"

Chen Nuo was startled, seeing Liu Liu Xiaoli really about to kneel, he immediately rushed forward, lifted her arms, and lifted her up, "Auntie, Auntie, what are you doing?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli sighed and said: "Chen Zong, I really have no other way. What do you want me to do for you to agree?"

Chen Nuo didn't know why Liu Liu Xiaoli thought he could solve the problem, and was about to explain, but suddenly remembered the front-page news of major media he saw on Qi Yuntian's phone before coming home today.

That news was a video taken by someone with a mobile phone.

The video was about 30 seconds long.

It was a conversation between the most popular sketch star today and someone else while eating.

In the picture, there was half of the star's face, his face was red, obviously he had drunk a lot.

Originally talking about other people, but don't know how the topic turned to him.

"Chen Nuo won Best Actor in Cannes, are you jealous, Shenyang?"

"Why would I be jealous of him?"

"Jealous that he stole your spotlight."

"Can he steal it? Now don't talk about our Northeast, you go ask around China, are there more people who know him or more people who know me? If you don't believe me, wait and see that Korean movie he won the award for, in two days you'll see how much money it can sell for."

"Then if it doesn't sell, can Zhang Zhang Yimou find him to film?"

"How would I know that. I'm telling you, Chen Nuo is really not good, the boss of Zhang Zhang Yimou's company, that Zhang Zhang Weiping, recently chatted with my master, preparing to find us to film a movie……"

Regarding this news, although it was noisy today and known to the whole country, he didn't think much of it when he saw it on Qi Yuntian's phone, and didn't get angry.

Now, combined with some things he heard in his later life, he inexplicably had some inspiration and thoughts.

Zhang Zhang Weiping and Zhang Zhang Yimou, these two people.

If it were, could we try?

But if he did this, it would be very troublesome, with a lot of extra workload, and it wouldn't fit his past style.

And, help that lazy woman Liu Qi Yifei?

Why!

The company still has a gap of several hundred million, and she sleeps at home all day?

"Liu Ayi, I can try. But, you have to do me two favors." Chen Nuo coughed lightly and looked at Liu Liu Xiaoli.

Liu Liu Xiaoli said resolutely: "Don't say two, Xiao Chen, as long as I can do it, anything is fine."

Chen Nuo said: "The first is work, to be honest, these past few days, whether it's your or Liu Qi Yifei's work status, I'm quite dissatisfied. I hope that starting tomorrow, you will let her start working, don't let her be a rice worm at home all day. Like Li Jing before, you have to urge her! If it really doesn't work, you should hit her, you should scold her, can you do it?"

Liu Liu Xiaoli felt relieved, a smile appeared on her face unknowingly, and she immediately agreed: "No problem. Xiao Chen, don't worry. This is indeed my dereliction of duty. I will definitely talk to Xixi well later!"

Chen Nuo said: "It's not just talking. I think you should still teach her a lesson."

Scumbag man, you really have a cruel heart.

Forget it, for Xixi's Best Actress!

Liu Liu Xiaoli gritted her teeth and nodded: "Okay! I will definitely hit her when I should, and scold her when I should."

Chen Nuo then nodded, and hesitated for a moment, saying: "Hmm, Auntie, there is also a private little matter of mine, can you help me……"

20 minutes later.

Liu Liu Xiaoli walked out with a bit of sweat on her forehead, looked at Liu Qi Yifei's room with a bit of guilt, sighed slightly, and went back to her room.
