Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Page 359

"I just think this isn't a big deal, and you're just helping someone watch the stall. As long as you explain it to the inspector, it'll be fine. Guan Gu, don't be nervous," Su Mingyang reassured him.

"How could I not be nervous? Ziqiao is really going to kill me! The inspector just asked us what we do, and he kept saying we're two ambitious young people who are about to realize our dreams on New Year's Eve. He's really trying to drive me crazy!" Guan Gu Shenqi exclaimed in despair.

Su Mingyang was speechless: "Has Ziqiao lost his mind?"

"Who knows? Mingyang, could you bail us out? Today is New Year's Day, and I don't want to spend it in the police station," Guan Gu pleaded.

“I’m making New Year’s Eve dinner right now, so I might not have time to come over. By the way, didn’t you say that this firecracker stall belongs to Xiao Hei? Have you called him?” Su Mingyang asked.

"Mingyang, are you making New Year's Eve dinner?" Guan Gu Shenqi asked excitedly.

"Hmm." Su Mingyang didn't know what Guan Gu Shenqi was thinking. Even at a time like this, he was still so concerned about this.

"Then I'm in for a treat tonight." After saying this, Guan Gu Shenqi suddenly realized that he was still in the police station, and his tone immediately dropped. "Oh no, I probably won't get to eat."

Su Mingyang's lips twitched, unsure of what to say.

"By the way, Mingyang, what did you just ask me?" Guan Gu Shenqi said.

"Uh, did you call Xiao Hei? This fireworks stall belongs to him, shouldn't he be in charge?" Su Mingyang asked.

“I tried, but I couldn’t get through!” Guan Gu Shenqi said.

"Is this some kind of rip-off?" Su Mingyang muttered.

"I don't know." Guan Gu Shenqi sighed.

“Okay.” Su Mingyang thought for a moment and said, “I might not have time to come over right now. I’ll have to see who in the apartment has time and ask them to come and vouch for you two.”

"That works too. Please hurry, I don't want to miss the New Year's Eve dinner you made," Guan Gu Shenqi said.

"Haha, okay, I'm hanging up now."

Su Mingyang smiled and hung up the phone.

Hu Yifei immediately asked, "Who? Who was arrested?"

Lin Wanyu and the others were also very curious.

"Guan Gu and Zi Qiao got arrested for watching Xiao Hei's firecracker stall. They'll probably be spending the New Year at the police station tonight," Su Mingyang explained succinctly to everyone.

"How unlucky! But Ziqiao is so kind, even helping out at someone else's stall," Lin Wanyu said.

"Who knows? There must be some benefits involved. Otherwise, with Ziqiao's personality, he'd be better off flirting with girls instead," Su Mingyang laughed.

“That’s true.” Lin Wanyu nodded in agreement.

Tang Youyou sighed, "Guan Gu is really pitiful. His worldview just collapsed, and now he's in the police station."

Hu Yifei shook her head and said, "In the end, it's because Guan Gu was too naive. He just followed Zi Qiao around aimlessly, and now look what happened."

Qin Yumo said, "Nobody could have predicted this. Let's try to help them. We can't let them spend the New Year in the police station."

"Yes, it's not easy to cook a New Year's Eve dinner, and it won't taste good if there aren't enough people," Zhang Wei said.

Su Mingyang said, "Guan Gu asked me to vouch for him, but I have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner right now. Who among you is willing to make the trip?"

"I'll go. If my sister finds out her son is spending the New Year at the police station, she'll be furious," Tang Youyou said.

Zhang Wei then suggested, "Why don't I go? I'm a lawyer, and I'll be dealing with inspectors a lot in the future. This is a good opportunity to get used to it beforehand..."

“Alright, Zhang Wei, you go ahead and come back soon,” Su Mingyang said.

"Okay." Zhang Wei nodded, turned around, and left 3601.

After he left.

Hu Yifei said, "That Xiao Hei is something else. Why doesn't he do something during the New Year? He sells fireworks and firecrackers and even asks someone to watch his stall. He's just a hands-off boss. I'll have to give him a good talking to next time I see him."

“The problems you mentioned aren’t that big of a deal. The key issue is operating without a license,” Su Mingyang said.

“Okay.” Hu Yifei nodded.

"By the way, why hasn't Teacher Zeng come back yet?" Lin Wanyu asked at this moment.

Su Mingyang glanced at the time and said, "I don't know, they should be back by now."

Hu Yifei laughed and said, "Is this guy being kept behind by his boss to work overtime?"

"Probably not. Maybe I should give them a call and ask. We can't have Teacher Zeng missing from tonight's New Year's Eve dinner," Tang Youyou said.

"Let's give it a shot and see." Su Mingyang also wanted to know Zeng Xiaoxian's current whereabouts.

"Okay." Tang Youyou put down her work and called Zeng Xiaoxian.

The others were busy with their own tasks.

I'm going to make more than a dozen dishes tonight.

The workload is enormous.

After taking a sip of water, Su Mingyang immediately started cooking.

Soon.

After finishing her call, Tang Youyou said with a strange look, "Sister Yifei, you were right. Teacher Zeng really was kept behind by the boss to work overtime."

"Huh?" Hu Yifei was stunned for a moment. She had just been joking. She said to herself with a self-deprecating smile, "Looks like my jinx is pretty accurate."

"Sigh, there are just too many unexpected things happening during the New Year. It seems like it's not easy to get together for a meal," Su Mingyang sighed.

“Yes, but to be honest, not many people listen to Teacher Zeng’s program normally, let alone on New Year’s Eve, so a live broadcast is really not very meaningful,” Lin Wanyu said.

“That makes sense,” Hu Yifei agreed. “If you ask me, we should just come back. Making people do a live broadcast during the Spring Festival is so inhumane.”

"Why don't you give him another call and ask him to come back?" Su Mingyang said with a smile.

"Fine, I'll call! He promised to participate in the event where he didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala, what kind of nonsense is it for him not to come back now!" Hu Yifei wasn't intimidated at all and immediately made the call.

Chapter 447

Seeing that Hu Yifei actually made the call, Su Mingyang was both amused and exasperated.

However, he believed that Hu Yifei's phone call would be of no use.

Zeng Xiaoxian is not a particularly enthusiastic person when it comes to work.

But at least they didn't dare disobey their superiors' orders.

If we let him come back now and not work overtime, wouldn't that be tantamount to letting him commit suicide?

However, the final result was somewhat unexpected.

After making the call, Hu Yifei smiled and said to everyone, "I called Zeng Xiaoxian to come back. Guess what happened?"

"He probably can't come back. Teacher Zeng just told me that he has a live broadcast tonight. He can't just abandon his work and run back," Tang Youyou guessed.

Lin Wanyu agreed with Tang Youyou, saying, "Yes, someone as diligent as Teacher Zeng must put work first. Whether he goes back to the apartment for the New Year or not, it's the same to him."

"The most important thing is that I might lose my job if I come back," Qin Yumo said.

Hu Yifei smiled and shook her head: "You all guessed wrong. Zeng Xiaoxian said he's not going to do a live stream anymore, he'll be back later."

"Huh? How could this be? Does his boss not want him to work overtime anymore?"

Her words surprised everyone.

"Of course not."

Hu Yifei said.

"So what exactly happened?" Tang Youyou asked curiously.

"It's actually very simple. I told him that Mingyang would be making New Year's Eve dinner with everyone tonight, and he said he would be back right away," Hu Yifei said with a smile.

"That's it?" Su Mingyang was speechless.

I wondered if my cooking was really that appealing.

Zeng Xiaoxian must have eaten quite a few meals, haven't you gotten tired of them yet?

"Haha, Teacher Zeng is too greedy." Lin Wanyu laughed.

"Yeah, I even asked him if he wasn't going to do a live stream tonight. He just said he was going to do his own live stream and he wasn't going to keep up with me," Hu Yifei said.

"Teacher Zeng finally acted like a man for once," Qin Yumo commented.

Su Mingyang thought for a moment and said, "I think he's just talking big. With Teacher Zeng's personality, I estimate he would hesitate for a long time before making a decision, and after thinking about the consequences, he would ultimately not dare to come back."

"So you don't believe he can come back?" Hu Yifei looked at Su Mingyang with great interest.

While cooking, Su Mingyang said, "I don't quite believe it. After all this time, don't I know Teacher Zeng's personality well?"

"Okay, how about we make a bet?" Hu Yifei said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad, are we going to make another bet?" Tang Youyou was excited, seeing that there was going to be a good show.

"What's there to be afraid of? How do we gamble?" Su Mingyang said casually.

Lin Wanyu and Qin Yumo were also very interested.

“Let’s bet on whether Zeng Xiaoxian will come back tonight. I bet he will,” Hu Yifei said.

“Then I bet he won’t come back,” Su Mingyang said with a smile.

"Okay, let's bet 500 yuan, how about it?" Hu Yifei asked.

"Gambling is so boring," Su Mingyang shook his head.
