Chapter 244 You quickly say it’s okay (Ch 244)

“I heard that the variety show you produced didn’t seem very ideal?”

There is nothing to hide. When Director Zhao asked, Qi Jia put down the teacup in his hand and nodded.

“It’s not very good.”

Chen Long interjected, “I’ve seen it, the production is indeed very good, but it went in the wrong direction.”

“This kind of program is usually produced by higher-ups.” Director Zhao took over Chen Long’s words and added,

What they said made sense. Qi Jia accepted it humbly, rubbed his hands and said,

“I thought the idea was good at the time, so I just shot it without thinking too far ahead.

And I feel this variety show will definitely become popular, it’s just a matter of time.”

After hearing his words, Zhao Junkai smiled and praised him, and then talked about Chen Long’s embarrassing moments in the past.

“You have a good attitude. Unlike Chen Long, who moaned and groaned all day long like a grouchy woman after he lost money on his first movie.”

After so many years, Chen Long has become very thick-skinned and doesn’t feel embarrassed.

He just took the opportunity of pouring tea to change the topic to something else.

After staying at Director Zhao’s house until about six in the afternoon and having dinner, Qi Jia and the assistant left.

Then he went straight to the airport to meet up with the crew and flew to the next roadshow city, Tianjin.

The road show in Tianjin was the same as that in Beijing, except that the people who stamped the documents were Gao Yalin and Xia Yu, while Qi Jia and Liu Haocun sat directly in the audience.

Because the roadshow in Beijing was so popular online, Gao Yalin and Xia Yu were recognized immediately.

As a result, the on-site effect was obviously not as good as the first time.

However, when the movie ended and the host invited the actors to the stage, Qi Jia and Liu Haocun walked out directly from the audience.

The atmosphere at the scene became lively again, and unsurprisingly it became a hot topic again that night.

During the two-day roadshow, although Xiaohongshu’s box office was not as good as that of “Eight Hundred”, it still achieved good results of 118 million and 165 million respectively.

On August 8, Qi Jia ended his roadshow and returned to Shanghai.

In the apartment,

Zhang Ruonan came out of the shower and took a hair dryer as usual, then lay on Qi Jia’s lap, waiting for Qi Jia to blow her hair.

She opened her mouth and thought, are you starving?, and plan to order a midnight snack.

“A new pickled food shop has opened nearby. Do you want to try it together?”

After looking at the phone that Zhang Ruonan handed to him, Qi Jia said with some concern,

“Neither of us has eaten it before. Will it give us stomach upset if we eat it for the first time?”

In fact, he really wanted to try it. He had seen it on TikTok several times before, and it made him drool.

“Don’t be afraid to eat less.”

Zhang Ruonan’s eyes were full of eagerness to try. She blinked and kept trying to persuade Qi Jia to try the poison with her.

“Then just a little bit~”

After placing the order, one of them played with his phone while the other concentrated on drying his hair.

Suddenly, Qi Jia spoke up.

“Would you like to go to Hengdian with me tomorrow?”

“Well, but what if someone recognizes us? We’re not in a foreign country.”

Zhang Ruonan was somewhat interested. She had always been curious about Qi Jia’s life in Hengdian.

But they were also worried that passers-by would take photos of them and expose their relationship in advance.

“It’s okay. I’ll take you back to see Sister Qiu. Shanghai is not far from Hengdian. We can drive there and no one will see us.”

Qi Jia had already made plans in his mind, and this time he would only bring Zhang Ruonan to see Sister Qiu.

As for other friends, I won’t introduce them for now. After all, there are so many people and they may talk too much, and I can’t guarantee that someone won’t let something slip in the future.

“Okay, I’ll go pack my things first and accompany you back home in glory tomorrow.”

Zhang Ruonan turned over and sat up from the sofa, trotted back to the bedroom barefoot and started packing her things.

Qi Jia also got up and went into the bathroom, planning to take a shower before the takeaway arrived.

Half an hour later, when he came out of the bathroom, drying his head, the takeaway had arrived.

Zhang Ruonan was taking pictures with her cell phone.

Qi Jia walked over and saw four boxes of raw pickles on the table, including crab, shrimp, oysters, and scallops.

The seafood looks mouth-watering against the backdrop of colorful dipping sauces.

Zhang Ruonan put down her phone, picked up a peeled shrimp and handed it to Qi Jia.

“Ah, open your mouth, I’ll feed you one.”

Qi Jia took a step back and looked at her suspiciously. If someone is being too attentive to her for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief.

“You don’t want me to eat it first, and then you can eat it after you confirm it’s not poisonous, right?”

“What are you talking about!” Zhang Ruonan glared at him, pretending to be angry, and put down the shrimp in his hand.

He picked up a piece of scallop meat and put it in his mouth. After chewing it hard and swallowing it, he held on to Qi Jia’s shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and put his mouth in front of him for him to examine.

“Now you believe it!” Zhang Ruonan raised her eyebrows provocatively, and once again picked up the shrimp meat and passed it to Qi Jia’s mouth.

“Ah, open your mouth!”

Qi Jia was still a little skeptical, and felt that she was being too eager.

“Did you go to the toilet without washing your hands?”

“Qi Jia!”

Zhang Ruonan was so angry that she laughed. She jumped up and put one hand around Qi Jia’s neck.

He pushed his legs hard with his feet to climb up, trying to force him to drink water.

“Okay, okay, I’m scared of you. Eat, eat, eat.”

Looking at Zhang Ruonan who kept climbing on him like a cat,

Qi Jia had no choice but to hold her small waist to prevent her from falling and breaking through the floor.

“How does it feel? Is it delicious?”

Zhang Ruonan jumped off Qi Jia with satisfaction, looking at him with a hint of cunning in her eyes and a wicked smile on her lips.

Qi Jia nodded and was about to say it was OK.

But then, his eyes suddenly widened, and a strong smell of gasoline and glue rushed straight to his head, flipping the top of his head.

He was choked so much that tears started streaming down his face. He felt as if he was on an express train to the underworld and was about to meet his grandmother.

But after recovering, he felt his mind clear again, all the previous discomfort disappeared, and he even wanted to do it again.

“How much mustard did you put in it?”

Qi Jia grabbed Zhang Ruonan who was trying to escape, knocked her head unhappily, and asked,

“Just a little bit~”

Zhang Ruonan shrank her neck guiltily, covered her head with one hand, and pinched the joint of her index finger with the other hand, saying,

“You have the good sense to not include the whole thing.”

“I actually thought so at first, but I tried it and the shrimps were too small to wrap so much.”

Zhang Ruonan finished whispering, and saw Qi Jia raise two fingers again, pretending to knock. She was so scared that she quickly covered her head with both hands.

“Forget it, childish, I don’t want to bother with you.”

Qi Jia let her go and turned around to blow dry her hair.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I apologize to you, okay~”

Zhang Ruonan thought Qi Jia was angry, so she hurried over, looked at his expression, put her hands together and started to act pitiful.

“I’m not angry.” Qi Jia said as he pushed her head aside.

“You’re really not angry?”

“I’m really not angry!”

“Then just say it’s okay.”

Qi Jia stopped and looked at her with amusement, ruffled her hair with his hands, and then said,

“It’s okay, are you satisfied?”

“Satisfied, then blow dry your hair slowly.”

Zhang Ruonan patted his shoulder happily, humming a little tune that only she could understand, and turned back to the living room.

Qi Jia was also very happy, humming a little tune, but thinking in his heart,

“Hehe~ You dare to trick me into eating spicy food? I’ll make you call me daddy tonight.”
