CH 73

In addition to the offline invitation for media, the product launch was also streamed live online, and as soon as Qin Ke’s remarks came out, a dense pop-up screen instantly covered his figure.

[??? How much money did Song Yunran give you?]

[Is Mr. Song here, I can also praise you, my Alipay is ……]

[Purely a passerby, is this Mr. Qin’s workplace interpersonal relations class?]

[Husband, don’t just praise the kid outside, he’ll become prideful.]

Song Yunran was prepared, but was still shocked by the intensity of the pop-ups.

He had an all-day meeting with the company’s agents today, and he invited everyone to lunch during the lunch break, so while waiting for the restaurant to serve food, he turned on the live stream to take a look.

The result was that he didn’t expect to hear Qin Ke praising him so frankly.

He didn’t wear headphones, so Qin Ke’s voice was transmitted into the ears of every employee present via his mobile phone.

The eyes on him from all directions made him feel like he was coming out in public.

Song Yunran stiffly exited the live broadcast and was silent.

His heart was complicated.

The reason why the host announced the good news on stage today, was because he got up early this morning, and gave his greetings to the Ningdong side. The idea was to achieve a full effect, while allowing Qin Ke to have a good appearance at the launch.

The live broadcast in the restaurant’s private room also allows the managers present to watch Qin Ke’s highlight moment together.

Song Yunran thinks that it is very normal for him to think this way.

Who would not want to show off their son’s good results with a loud speaker?

But what he didn’t expect was that Qin Ke would suddenly start praising him at the launch.

If he had known that, he would have watched the live broadcast secretly!

Now, what will people think of him?

Song Yunran is very concerned, and does not dare to raise his head to look at others. Although he does not mind coming out of the closet, but he also does not want to be dead socially in this way so early.

At this point, someone suddenly spoke up: “Qin Ke is really ……”

Song Yunran was nervous for a moment.

That person continued: “Too much! He actually did not say hello, and praised President Xiao Song out there!”

“That’s right, if you want to praise you should say so in advance, isn’t it good for us to praise together?” Another person took over, “Does our President Xiao Song not deserve to have a mass appreciation?”

Song Yunran: “What??”

Everyone’s reaction didn’t seem to be what he thought it would be.

He lifted his head out of his ostrich state and froze. The next thing he saw was that all the agents had already picked up their phones and sent messages to their artists.

Assistant Tang sitting beside him looked regretful, hating himself for not being able to create an artist out of thin air to join this President Xiao Song’s boasting session.

Song Yunran was enlightened, he realized it again.

It turns out that everyone has long been grateful to him at heart, but before it was just because no one was taking the lead, and they could only hide their admiration in their hearts.

Previously, he thought he would come out of the closet on the spot, but in the end he thought too much of this.

“…… in contrast, there is no need to praise me collectively.”

Song Yunran spoke with difficulty, “It seems too deliberate, people will think that our company’s corporate culture is immodest.”

The first agent asked blankly, “Our company has a corporate culture?”

Song Yunran: “……”

The other party coughed dryly and corrected: ” President Xiao Song, you are not being fair. Why can Qin Ke praise but others can’t?”

Song Yunran thought to himself, Can other people be compared to Qin Ke?

He is not only my boyfriend, but also my only son, if all the artists under you can call me dad ……

Well, no, no one can replace Qin Ke’s position in his life by calling him dad.

At the end, he could only rub his brow: “Okay, but don’t be too that what, you know.”

The people tacitly nodded their heads.

At least they are also people in the entertainment industry, they know the truth that too much is not good enough.

A sudden swarm of compliments will only make people suspect that Song Yunran is holding everyone’s black material.

For everything, we have to take a step-by-step approach.

Song Yunran does not yet know that a new storm has begun to brew.

When he returned to the Xicheng upper courtyard that night, he asked his aunt to prepare a table of good food in advance, and continued to read his textbook while waiting for Qin Ke to come home to celebrate.

To be honest, although he had guessed before the release of “Hong Bai Xi Xi” that Qin Ke might be able to make it to the Best Actor category, he was still surprised and a little pleased when his imagination became reality.

If it wasn’t for his accidental awakening, Qin Ke wouldn’t have been reborn.

Every time he thought of the best actor shortlist that Qin Ke had received before he was reborn, Song Yunran felt a little weak in his heart.

But luckily, the world still favors Qin Ke.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Qin Ke finished his work.

Song Yunran directly called him upstairs, and when he opened the door, he thought about it and said, “Why don’t you get your fingerprints recorded too, so that I don’t have to open the door for you every time.”

Qin Ke looked at him: “Not afraid that if I record fingerprints, I will sneak up on you in the middle of the night?”

“Are you stupid?”

Song Yunran didn’t even notice the actual meaning of this statement, and replied in a serious manner, “I will lock my bedroom door before I go to sleep, okay?”

Qin Ke laughed helplessly and wanted to say something else when he saw Song Yunran slap his head and hurriedly run to the living room.

He quickly came out again, hands behind his back, and stood in front of Qin Ke with a mysterious smile.

For some reason, a sense of foreboding rose in Qin Ke’s heart.

The next moment, Song Yunran suddenly raised his arm, pulled open the small colored cannon in his hand and shouted, “Congratulations you are a finalist!

With a “bang”, shiny pieces of colorful paper fell down from above.

Qin Ke was too late to dodge it, and all those colorful pieces fell on his body, and this stuff was made of some kind of electrostatic material, which actually stuck to his head and face.

Qin Ke: “……”

He suddenly wasn’t sure if Song Yunran’s intention was to congratulate him.

Song Yunran was also dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect the range of this colored cannon to be so short, not only did the beautiful and romantic picture he imagined not appear, but it made a crack that was about to crumble on Qin Ke’s handsome face.

Qin Ke sighed soberly, he came back in a hurry, and did not remove his makeup in the process. At this moment there are several colored pieces stuck to his lips, making him inwardly speechless.

After a few seconds of silence, Qin Ke spat out a piece of colored piece: “I praised you outside today, and you came at me like this.”

“I didn’t mean to.” Song Yunran hurriedly apologized, “Sorry about that.”

Qin Ke spat out another piece: “You ……”

Before the words were finished, he saw Song Yunran’s eyes suddenly light up, as if he had discovered a new and interesting world.

Song Yunran came closer, and his tone was sincere: “This spew of yours is like a pea shooter, ah.”

“………………”

Song Yunran saw him unresponsive, and thought he did not understand, so he deliberately and thoughtfully explained: “No, have you not played “Plants vs. Zombies”, a classic old game. Playing the later is particularly exciting, and simply makes people’s blood boil!”

Qin Ke raised his eyebrows and could not bear it.

He hooked the back of Song Yunran’s neck with one hand, and then turned around and didn’t wait for the other party to react. He pressed the person against the door and kissed him with his head down.

When Xiao Song starts to think out of the box, what should a boyfriend do?

Qin Ke today gave the answer physically.

He kissed him until his blood was boiling, so that he had no room to think about any classic game.

Song Yunran then repented, feeling like a fish being pressed on a chopping board, and struggling in vain for half a day, but still being pressed to death.

He made some sounds that he was ashamed to hear, and at the end of the story, he simply gave up resistance, and only used his hands to cling to Qin’s back, so that he was not kissed so much that his legs would go weak and he would fall down on the spot.

He was aggrieved to think, if I had known this, I would not have prepared this surprise.

Just as this thought rose, Qin Ke seemed to sense that he was distracted, and a more aggressive kiss than just now met him forcefully.

After an extraordinarily long kiss, Song Yunran’s mouth felt swollen.

He didn’t want to talk for a while, so he simply glared angrily at Qin Ke, expressing his dissatisfaction through his eyes.

Qin Ke slowly and methodically swept him a glance and gave a very light laugh.

As if in a good mood, he slowly turned around and cleaned the colored pieces on his head at the mirror in the foyer.

Song Yunran fist hardened and he muttered in a low voice, “I warn you not to be too complacent, I still haven’t settled the score with you about you complimenting me at the conference today.”

Qin Ke paused in his movements and asked, “What, not satisfied?”

I am satisfied, and my heart is indeed happy.

But it is ……

Song Yunran blinked and said, “Why didn’t you say something to me in advance? I didn’t even wear headphones when I was watching the live broadcast, there were so many people around, my face was all red and I almost couldn’t get off the stand.”

Qin Ke pursed his lips and asked in confusion, “Why did you want to watch the live broadcast in front of everyone?”

“Of course it’s to show everyone how great you are! Who knows ……”

Song Yunran frowned sadly and told the reaction of all the agents, uneasily, “Although they assured me that they would never boast as if they were receiving money, I was still a little nervous.”

Qin Ke was quiet and consoled, “You don’t need to be nervous about this little thing.”

“You don’t understand. I haven’t been praised by so many people except for my fans in my last life.”

Song Yunran helped him take down the colored pieces stuck on the end of his hair and said worriedly, “I’m so afraid they won’t compliment me properly and show off my style.”

Qin Ke: “……”

Excuse me, he was overly worried.

In the next half month, Xinghe’s artists started an invisible competition.

Today you celebrated your three years in the industry on Weibo, and after reminiscing about your depressed time, you turned the page and started to thank Mr. Song for choosing you to join Xinghe, which started a new chapter in your life;

Tomorrow, in an interview with the magazine, there is a detailed account of my journey, saying that I was uncertain when I received the script from the company, but Mr. Song talked with me and made me regain my confidence;

The day after tomorrow, he made a vlog, showing that after the practice one night, I accidentally found that Mr. Song was still working late at the company, not even going home for the development of Xinghe.

If initially when Qin Ke’s first praised, netizens were in the mood of watching a show, then this half month down, under all the subtle brainwashing, many people who had prejudice against Song Yunran, finally swayed.

[…… Maybe he’s really a good boss?]

[Is it that Xinghe has been going so well lately that you all have forgotten that it was once called Loser King Entertainment ah?]

[If you think about it, you can understand why the people at Xinghe like him, only a good president is able to lead everyone to make money.

It’s enough that Xinghe’s internal artists are like this, but what’s surprising is that a few days later, Fang Zhou and Cheng Jiaming, who had disappeared from Song Yunran’s world for a long time, actually thanked Song Yunran in an interview, saying that he had helped them find a new direction for their careers.

When Song Yunran saw the news, he was on his way to record the last episode of “Slow Holiday Travel”.

He put his phone down, picked it up again, and put it down again after a while. After repeating this several times, he finally couldn’t help but turn his head and look at Qin Ke, who was sitting next to him.

“Fang Zhou and Cheng Jiaming, are they colluding with you?” Song Yunran questioned in a low voice.

He had been complimented to the point of numbness for the past ten days, but in no way did he expect that there would be artists who did not belong to Xinghe to be involved.

Everything happened so unexpectedly that he even vaguely suspected that perhaps this was all a prank secretly planned by Qin Ke, trying to have him reach social death in another form.

Qin Ke looked down slightly and explained, “It has nothing to do with me.”

If you have to say it, Qin Ke is still a little upset.

It’s like he purposely prepared a candy for his boyfriend, wanting to coax the aggrieved little animal, who knows that other A B C D saw also followed suit.

It seems that his candy is not special enough.

Especially when he heard that Cheng Jiaming also inexplicably joined in, a nameless fire in his heart burned even more.

What’s the matter with you Cheng Jiaming.

I should have known better to avenge the shoulder injury in my previous life.

Song Yunran looked out the window and turned his head again: “So …… I am really as good as everyone boasts?”

Qin Ke smiled: “Yes, only you did not discover it yourself.”

I see, Song Yunran thought, perhaps this is the legendary being strong and not knowing it.

He curled his big eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn’t stop turning upwards, and he felt the non-existent red scarf on his chest was even more vibrant.

Qin Ke looked at his happy face and found that Song Yunran is really a very simple person.

Easy to get angry, but easy to coax.

He says and acts on intuition, but that wild intuition is always applied in the right place, such as the actors he selected for Xinghe, and he pointed out a clear path for Fang Zhou and Cheng Jiaming.

I don’t know what the original’s author was thinking, he actually set Song Yunran as an ordinary tool.

Qin Ke’s eyes rested on Song Yunran, the golden sunlight of winter caged in his hair, so that his dark hair was covered with a layer of light gold, like a small sun that is glowing.

Such a person is clearly a rare treasure in the world.

Half an hour later, the bus stopped at the last stop of the recording.

The final stop of “Slow Holiday Travel” was not in an extremely remote village as before, but uncharacteristically in a modern village with convenient transportation.

After getting off the bus and looking around, the view was full of uniform style residential houses.

Outside the parking lot, the spacious and straight road is spread out in front of the eyes, and on both sides of the road are carefully designed flower beds and street trees, those who do not know will think they are in a city of which high-end area.

Dai Yao circled around the parking lot and commented, “It’s not so easy, the program team has finally found their conscience.”

“It may also be that they searched for so many episodes, and at the end of the day, they found that there are still a lot of funds left, so they just squandered it at the end.” Song Yunran continued, “Your program team’s cost control is not good.”

After recording so many issues, the Director and team has long been accustomed to the guests’ banter.

She cleared her throat and said, “You can’t say that. This issue will be aired soon after the Chinese New Year, we also want to let everyone feel the joy of the holidays in advance, so the last issue was specifically made into a real leisure travel.”

“Why do I not believe it so much.”

Shao Qian, who has long been well versed with the program team’s ways, doubted, “There won’t be a trap waiting for us in front right.”

Wan Yuzhe, who was beside him, spat from another angle, “So you guys still know that the previous installments are not considered leisure tours.”

The two tacitly exchanged glances, and each other’s hearts were filled with the joy of impending relief.

Not for anything else, just for a few recording sessions, high on dizzy CP is getting more and more attention, which makes their momentum far less massive than before

They have long decided to untie, but human muscle memory is sometimes so terrible that whenever they see Song Yunran and Qin Ke having some kind of intimate interaction again, the two of them will uncontrollably and secretly compete with it.

As a result, they are constantly jumping from side to side between the two states throughout the recording process.

The two extremes of “I’m afraid I’m gonna BE” and “No, they’re still in a good relationship” are repeatedly shifting.

They are tired, fans are tired.

But it doesn’t matter, after recording this issue, they can finally escape from the endless inner drama.

Thinking of this, Shao Qian’s tone was also much more cheerful: “Come on, let’s hear it, how are we going to relax in this issue?”

The director smiled and said, “Just the same as everyone usually does for New Year’s Eve.”

Song Yunran’s heart was happy: “It means that I just need to eat, sleep and play games in the room?”

“……” the director gathered a smile, and explained expressionlessly, “Of course it’s cleaning, putting up the Spring Festival couplets, and wrapping dumplings.”

Song Yunran “ah”, the joy on his face disappeared visibly.

Qin Ke glanced at his lost expression and silently hooked his lips, guessing that according to Song Yunran’s pampered young master character, he must not have done any of the things the director said.

Song yunran indeed did not do these things.

He didn’t know what to do, but he was taken to the village nursing home by the team and finally understood the theme of the show.

To put it plainly, it is to give love and do charity, sublimating the purpose of the program, but also to let the audience feel the happy atmosphere of the New Year.

In accordance with the program flow, the guests must first help the nursing home to do a thorough cleaning.

After the recording started, Xinghe’s group was assigned to wipe the outdoor railings.

Although Song Yunran is a president who is insulated from household chores, but since he is here, he did not pretend to be here, he obediently took the tools and followed behind Qin Ke to go upstairs.

The nursing home’s accommodation area has three floors in total.

As soon as the two of them went upstairs, many curious grandparents came out of their rooms, smiling and welcoming the two young people who had come to do volunteer work.

Song Yunran, who is cute and sweet, captured the hearts of several elderly people with a round of ” Happy New Year grandparents” greetings.

A grandmother named Li liked him the most. When she saw him wiping the railing, she joked kindly, “Look at you, you must not have done any work at home since you were a child, you don’t know how to do anything.”

“Don’t worry, I can learn if I don’t know how.”

Song Yunran imitated Qin Ke’s action, first using the brush to carefully remove the rust stains from the corners, “Grandma Li, it’s dusty now, why don’t you go back to your room first.”

Grandma Li refused: “I just want to watch you here.”

Song Yunran laughed: “I look so good?”

Grandma Li said seriously, “Good-looking, and you look especially like my grandson.”

“……”

It doesn’t matter, Song Yunran reassured himself, Grandma Li is old and definitely doesn’t understand that “looking like a grandson” is already a kind of mockery among young people.

The result is that he just finished his psychological construction, he heard Qin Ke laugh lowly.

What are you laughing at, Song Yunran glared at him, laugh again I will ask the grandmother to criticize you!

Unexpectedly, his glance made Grandma Li notice Qin Ke, who did not talk much.

The elderly person’s somewhat cloudy eyes, in that instant, seemed to be much clearer.

She was on crutches, trembling and trying to walk over there, Song Yunran was afraid she would fall, and hurriedly threw down his tools and went over to help.

Grandma Li walked up to Qin Ke, struggling to tilt her head: “What’s your name?”

Qin Ke bent down: “Qin Ke, Ke Ke of abiding.”

“Oh, how old are you?” Grandma Li’s tone became more and more amiable, “Have you fallen in love yet?”

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his gaze to Song Yunran.

Song Yun Ran felt a moment of defeat: “……”

What are you looking at me for at this time!

The photographer took a look at this situation and vaguely guessed that something big was about to happen.

He looked at the situation and pulled the camera closer, expecting to capture some fun material.

Qin Ke glanced at the photographer and helplessly withdrew his eyes from his boyfriend.

He looked at Grandma Li, thought for a moment and politely replied, “I don’t have a girlfriend.”

Grandma Li slowly nodded her head, the expression on her face more satisfied.

Then in front of the crowd, she fished out a smartphone for the elderly from her cotton jacket pocket, squinted and clicked on the photo album, “Look at this is my granddaughter, she’s studying abroad and doesn’t have a boyfriend yet ……”

“Pfft–”

The photographer didn’t hold back and laughed out loud without paying attention.

Song Yunran’s whole person felt bad.

He did not care that Grandma Li wanted to introduce a girlfriend to Qin Ke, but just now it was clear that he had been chatting with the old woman, but why did Grandma Li instantly fall for Qin Ke as her son-in-law!

Is it because he doesn’t look reliable enough?

Qin Ke was probably also surprised by Li’s grandmother’s skillful operation.

He pursed his lips and said after a moment of silence, “Grandma, I have no intention of having a girlfriend.”

Grandma Li understood very well and said sympathetically, “No hurry, no hurry, you guys can chat on WeChat first, it’s good to make a friend.”

The photographer has been amused by the lovely old woman and was unable to carry the camera.

“Sorry, I can’t just add WeChat with people.” Qin Ke sighed and gently explained.

“Why?” Grandma Li didn’t understand.

Qin Ke smiled, raised his eyes and pointed to Song Yunran who was watching coldly: “He forbids me to add.”
