Chapter 51

A new day arrived.

It was only half past ten in the morning, but the scorching sun was already high in the sky, and the heat wave was sweeping across the land.

Inside a standard king-size room at a certain star-rated hotel, the air conditioner was blowing cold air, dispelling the high temperature outside.

Quan Zhiyan groggily opened her eyes. The headache from the hangover and the soreness and weakness from the wild night made her even more attached to the comfort of the bed. She closed her eyes, mumbled a few words, and pulled the silk quilt that had been kicked off to cover her body. Adjusting to a comfortable position, she instinctively hugged the dog pillow next to her.

Huh?

Today's dog pillow feels strange...

Why does it have hair...

What is this thing...

Whoosh!

Quan Zhiyan suddenly woke up, sat up in bed, and looked at the man lying next to her with wide, disbelieving eyes.

"You're awake. You've been pressing on my arm, it's numb."

Mai Xiaoyu mumbled lazily, withdrew his arm, wrapped a towel around his waist, and walked into the bathroom.

He spoke in Mandarin, which Quan Zhiyan didn't understand, but did last night's events need any explanation?

Fragments of last night flashed through her mind.

Feeling down, she went to a bar to drink and vent, danced, someone approached her, met a compatriot, had a great time, continued drinking, then dancing, more drinking, more dancing, fast dance, slow dance, close dance, hugging, kissing...

Oh, damn!

The evil alcohol!

Quan Zhiyan painfully grabbed her hair, suddenly pulled off the silk quilt, glanced at the stains on the sheet, quickly covered herself again, and continued to pull her hair, making sounds of regret.

"Does your head hurt a lot?" Mai Xiaoyu came out of the bathroom and sat next to Quan Zhiyan.

"Hey, stay away from me!"

Mai Xiaoyu then realized the other person was Korean and switched to Korean: "Go back and eat something light, drink a cup of warm milk, it will help with the headache."

"Shut up!"

Quan Zhiyan almost went crazy, wrapped the towel around her important parts, picked up her clothes, and jumped out of bed, but felt her legs go weak and almost fell.

"Are you okay?"

"None of your business!"

She leaned against the wall and stumbled to the bathroom. An hour later, after taking a shower, Quan Zhiyan dressed and came out.

Hmm, she wasn't walking very steadily.

"Are you a bull?" Quan Zhiyan said angrily.

"Can I take that as a compliment? In fact, you were very excited last night, always asking me to go harder."

"Damn!" Quan Zhiyan was almost driven mad, took a few steps towards the door, then turned back, "I warn you, keep last night's events to yourself, or I won't let you off when I get back to Korea!"

Bang!

Quan Zhiyan slammed the door and left. Mai Xiaoyu clicked his tongue and sighed, "Are all Korean girls like this?"

We had a great time last night.

Why turn against me when you wake up?

Forget it, why think so much, it was just a one-night stand.

He shook his head, lit a cigarette, and took out two phones set to silent mode. There were over twenty missed calls, all from Yang Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan.

So many calls?

Did something happen at the company?

Mai Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay and immediately contacted Yang Xiaoxing. However, as soon as Yang Xiaoxing spoke, he knew he had overreacted.

"Boss, you finally called back! I heard from Liu Tao that you didn't go back last night. Where did you go? I called you dozens of times, and you didn't answer. I almost called the police. Where are you now, and why haven't you come to the company? You..."

Yang Xiaoxing occasionally turned into a nag, but he rarely rambled like this. The only possibility was... he was agitated, acting silly!

Mai Xiaoyu interrupted him, "Whoa—, get to the point."

"Did you see the Ice Valley Orchard ad that aired last night?"

"No. Is that it?"

Of course not, that was just a prelude to calm Yang Xiaoxing down.

His agitation came from "Ten Years."

Last night, "Ten Years" topped the charts on six major music websites simultaneously. This morning, the media went crazy, with the entertainment headlines all about "Su Youpeng + Ten Years."

The bold, black, and large "Sweep" made even the blind see.

A new song, bursting onto the music scene, surpassing five top kings and queens of the music industry, Su Youpeng rose to prominence with "Ten Years," exceeding the peak of the Little Tigers.

Could Yang Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan not be envious?

We are fraudsters!

Are you here to give us a warm feeling?

Do you have no professional ethics as a fraudster?

Yang Xiaoxing, like a nagging wife, kept talking on the phone. Zhang Xiaoquan, who couldn't stand it anymore, snatched the phone and asked, "Yuyu, how did the talk with Old Su go last night?"

How did it go?

A big harvest!

Mai Xiaoyu told them about the news of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "The Story of a Concubine 3." Yang Xiaoxing was once again agitated, shouting around the company. The excited shouts of the employees could be heard over the phone.

Jung Yao's "The Story of a Concubine 3"!

Jin Yong's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber"!

Just hearing these names, do you need more?

Once Liu Tao acts, the prestige of Mengren Film & TV will immediately rise!

When you talk about your job with relatives and friends, you'll be so proud!

More importantly, with Boss Mai's generosity, there will definitely be a red envelope!

"Old Yang!"

Mai Xiaoyu's shout pulled Yang Xiaoxing from heaven to hell, "What are you getting excited about? It's not a done deal yet!"

"Old Su agreed, right? That 'Ten Years' can't be given away for free!"

"Cut the crap, I have two things to tell you. Go to Yan Film today and hire a good teacher from the acting department to give Liu Tao private acting lessons. The price is negotiable. Also, pause all of Liu Tao's commercial endorsements and have her focus on learning from the teacher."

"I understand, this is a rare opportunity, we can't miss it!"

After hanging up, Mai Xiaoyu turned on the TV and kept changing channels, looking for the Ice Valley Orchard ad.

He had declared war on Tianyi Planning, and he hadn't forgotten about it!

Some things in the world are quite strange. When you don't want to see an ad, it always pops up in front of you; when you want to see it, you can't find it on dozens of channels!

Bang, bang, bang!

There was a knock at the door, urgent and heavy.

"Who is it?"

No one answered, and the knocking became even more urgent and heavy.

Mai Xiaoyu dressed and went to the door. As soon as he opened it a crack, Quan Zhiyan slipped in.

"Why did it take so long to open the door!"

"Are you crazy? Didn't you leave?"

"You're the one who's crazy!" Quan Zhiyan locked the door behind her, "There are a lot of reporters outside, I almost got spotted!"

Afraid of being spotted by reporters?

She must be a celebrity.

Huh, I've seen her somewhere before.

Where have I seen her...

"What are you looking at!" Quan Zhiyan said angrily.

"Are you... Quan, Zhi, Yan?"

"Acting pretty well, don't tell me it's the first time you've seen me!"

If you don't count dreams, it was indeed the first time.

Mai Xiaoyu nodded seriously. Quan Zhiyan frowned, looked Mai Xiaoyu up and down, and didn't smell kimchi: "You're not Korean?"

"Chinese, pure Chinese."

"You fraud!" Quan Zhiyan was furious, but then suddenly asked, "Am I that famous in China, that any Chinese person knows my name?"

What do Korean women think about!

Mai Xiaoyu was speechless, turned around, and walked back, "Aren't you tired standing? Sit down, wait for the reporters to leave, then you can go, it's fine."

As he spoke, he casually lifted the silk quilt on the bed. Quan Zhiyan suddenly pounced, "The bed is mine, you sit over there!"
