Chapter 408
Qiao Sixiao glanced at the phone and didn't hide her disgust at all. She looked up at Qin Wei:
“Qin Wei, you didn't learn Chinese, right? That's not how this word is used!”
Qin Wei didn't think she was wrong and justified herself:
“Then what word should be used?”
Qiao Sixiao was speechless. How could she know?
So she changed the topic:
“It's late, let's go.”
“Go where?”
Qiao Sixiao frowned:
“Back home! Do you plan to live here forever?”
Qin Wei didn't even intend to stand up:
“You go back. I'm fine living here...”
Qiao Sixiao reminded her:
“But you have school tomorrow. It takes an hour by taxi from here to the school...”
Qin Wei had already thought of a solution:
“I'll take the subway.”
“And then you'll be trending again - faded C-list internet celebrity squeezes onto subway.”
Qiao Sixiao held her phone,
“Let me predict tomorrow's trending topics in advance and tell you that line 1 is said to be very crowded. I wish you don't be late.”
Qin Wei was unmoved.
Qiao Sixiao could only give up and said to her assistant:
“Fine, I'm leaving. The company gave me a black truffle cheesecake. I don't like eating these sweet things. Xiao Wang, go upstairs later and take it home.”
Xiao Wang nodded. Black truffle cheesecake?
Qin Wei looked at Li Liang in confusion.
Li Liang quickly searched for information online, then told Qin Wei:
“Three thousand yuan per serving. Three hundred yuan per bite. All ingredients are top notch, looks good, tastes good but also expensive and limited.”
Qin Wei hugged her teddy bear and said to Li Liang:
“Remember to take the stuff for me, check out before leaving, deposit is cash, then charge my card.
I'm going home. I don't care about the cake. I have school tomorrow. It’s inconvenient to stay here.”
After Qin Wei finished instructing, she left first.
“You do the same, tidy up my stuff and take them home.” Qiao Sixiao patted Xiao Wang's shoulder,
“Right, remember to order the cake delivered to my house.”
Xiao Wang was dumbfounded:
“But wasn’t it from the company...”
Qiao Sixiao looked meaningfully at her assistant:
“First day at Huanyi, Wang Dongdong? Huanyi wants artists to starve, and can still give out cakes to eat?!”
Wang Dongdong was embarrassed and mumbled softly:
“Sis, that cake is limited edition...”
Qiao Sixiao snorted:
“If it’s not available in Beijing, then go to Shanghai. If not in Shanghai then Hangzhou. If Hangzhou doesn't have it either then figure it out yourself.
Let me remind you, what I pay you every month is called a salary.”
Qiao Sixiao left, leaving Xiao Li and Xiao Wang looking at each other speechlessly.
...
Qiao Sixiao drove the sports car, and from time to time glanced at Qin Wei in the passenger seat. She really couldn’t stand it anymore and asked:
“When are you going to keep hugging it?”
“Huh? My darling teddy you mean?”
Qin Wei looked at it. She didn’t bring anything when she left just now, but couldn’t bear to leave it behind,
“I don’t know, but I really like it so far. I’ll hug it until tomorrow morning before going to school.”
Qiao Sixiao asked casually:
“You gonna take it to school hugging it?”
“Can I?”
Qiao Sixiao shook her head:
“...I'd rather not... You’ve been trending these days. It was because I won an award, but if you keep doing this, it'll annoy people in the long run.”
Qin Wei didn’t deny this and opened her phone to take a look. Just now in the hotel parking lot, the two of them were photographed, captioned rather provocatively, but it was obvious that netizens cared not about the two of them -
【Hubi Xiao Ba: #QinQiao Hotel# Tonight the first Douban score is opened for the new TV series Stellar Light. The two leads met late at night at a hotel, working hard to promote the new show, showing how much importance they attach to it. What do you think?】
Comments -
【Qin Wei can afford this teddy bear!】
【I also bought the same one! I hug the bear, Qin Wei hugs the bear, close enough Qin Wei hugs me】
【Sold out already! ! !】
As expected, everyone's focus was on the teddy bear.
...
Stellar Light’s Douban score opening also trended, but not because the score came out, but because the rules changed -
[In order to be objective and fair, only platform accounts that have logged in to watch the TV series can rate it.
After rating, the page will display the number of episodes watched by the account, total watching time, whether there was any fast forwarding, jumping around, credibility of the user account itself, as well as the score and review given.]
The water armies bought for the competitor company can no longer fake reviews. They originally wanted to attack Douban online, accusing it of favoritism towards Stellar Light, but found out this policy had already started, only randomly selecting users for trial runs beforehand. Now it’s formally implemented, applying to all shows. So there is no favoritism or no favoritism, everyone is treated equally.
In order to leave a credible bad review for the TV series, many antis can only go register a video platform account, then watch the first ten episodes without any skipping or fast forwarding, before going to comment.
But for viewers who watch normally, they can now give the TV series a relatively fair rating.
...
When Qin Wei got home, she first looked at the fish tank in the foyer. The little fish were still alive. Then she went to the balcony to check on her little plants. Seeing everyone was fine, she felt relieved.
“Thanks for helping me water the plants, Si Si.”
Carrying her teddy bear, she went over to stuff it into her roommate’s arms,
“I have no way to repay you, so let my darling teddy accompany your sleep.”
Qiao Sixiao gave it back to her: “No need, go shower hugging your teddy bear.”
“Then the cake...”
“Shower first, eat cake after.”
With Qiao Sixiao’s assurance, Qin Wei happily went to take a bath hugging her teddy bear.
Showering, the bear sits on the pile of clothes to be washed;
Bathing, the bear sits by her bathtub.
In the living room, Qiao Sixiao called her executive agent, asking him and Wang Dongdong to buy her the cake, insisting that she must have the cake tonight no matter what.
...
It was just supposed to be a simple bath, but Qiao Sixiao brought her laptop and sliced fruit in, telling her to take her time bathing, no hurry to come out.
So what could have ended in ten minutes, she dragged on for forty minutes.
When she came out, she happened to see Xiao Wang just arriving, and casually asked before finding out that Xiao Wang carelessly forgot to bring back the cake, only coming over from the company to fetch it.
“Oh it’s fine, be more careful next time.”
Qin Wei’s consolation made Xiao Wang feel even worse, but fortunately she received a big red packet from her sister on her way home, comforting her injured heart.
Sitting in the living room, eating cake and watching a movie, with the maid blow drying her hair, Qin Wei transformed from the lowly pet in the main family to the honorable hostess. She felt that after running away from home for a few days, her status had risen sharply.
If possible, she wanted to run away from home every now and then.
After the movie ended, feeling a little sleepy too, Qin Wei said good night to her roommate before going back to her room to sleep, opening the door, turning on the lights, and standing stunned -
A custom glass cabinet had been added to her bedroom, filled not with trophies, but with lots and lots of brand new limited edition plushies!
Every one was what she had collected in her wish list! All the ones she had been longing for.
Looking back again, Qiao Sixiao was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, watching her.
She seemed to have expected this reaction, looking a bit smug.
“Wu...”
So happy that she cried.
Carrying her teddy bear, Qin Wei came over to hug her roommate:
“What to do, I’m so touched! Am I dreaming? Pinch me, pinch my face, pinch hard.”
“What a weird request.”
Although she said that, she still did it.
Ow...rather painful.
It wasn’t a dream. She had truly gained so many plushies all at once!
