Chapter 3469: Stirring up the situation
Xu Xian's words broke through Li Menglong's last bit of embarrassment. He was indeed a little afraid that Xu Xian would sneak away in the name of going to the bathroom.
Although he also knew that Xu Xian was not this kind of person, after all, she was the younger sister of girls. It was easy to learn bad things when hanging out with those women every day.
So Li Menglong carefully discussed with a smile: "How about you pay the bill first to avoid having to queue up later, what do you think?"
Xu Xian was really going to laugh out loud at the man in front of him. Did he think everyone was as stingy as him?
Isn't it just a lunch? Not to mention that Xu Xian also ate a lot. Even if it was just a treat, when would she let Li Menglong go?
Fortunately, Xu Xian had a really good personality and was too lazy to meet Li Menglong. In order to let Li Menglong eat in peace, she simply threw her wallet away.
Logically speaking, this action should be enough to reassure Li Menglong, but he secretly squeezed it, what if it was empty inside?
Xu Xian saw all the other party's little moves. She could only say that girls usually get angry for a reason, and she couldn't help it.
That is to say, he was a little full, and Xu Xian was too lazy to exercise, otherwise he would really have to drag Li Menglong to find a boxing gym to compete.
Li Menglong naturally knew that he was too stingy, but he was afraid of being poor, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Fortunately, all this can be made up for. Praising Xu Xian is not too difficult for him anyway. He can talk about it for hours without repeating it.
And Xu Xian obviously doesn't have such good patience. The main reason is that she has heard too many flattering words and has long passed the age of being happy because of them.
In other words, this can be regarded as a difficulty that artists must go through. Once they sink in the praise of fans, there will be no good results in the end.
After all, I believe anyone who is sober can see how much of those boasts are filtered and how much is true.
Anyway, Xu Xian is already somewhat immune. Even if he praises her beauty, Xu Xian can respond soberly: Thank you, you don’t have to talk about such truth!
This is not because Xu Xian is arrogant, but because she has to distinguish between facts and flattery. She is just beautiful enough, what is there to deny?
On the contrary, based on what Li Menglong said now, Xu Xian had to make some judgments: "Goodbye, I'm not a great director yet, I'm still far away from you, I will continue to work hard!"< br>
What Xu Xian said was true, but Li Menglong had a wrong interpretation. He thought Xu Xian was interested in this pursuit, so he planned to increase his efforts.
The next few minutes made Xu Xian extremely tormented, and of course there was also a bit of secret pleasure.
After all, in Li Menglong's words, Xu Xian is simply a unique genius. If she does not become a director, it will really be a loss for the entire entertainment industry.
There are many similar words. Even though he knows they are false, Xu Xian still wants to continue listening. He can only say that lies may hurt people, but they are really good to the ears!
Fortunately, the two of them were not so rich during lunch, so Li Menglong was forced to stop complimenting Xu Xian, which he felt was a bit of a pity.
He still has a lot to say, and if he is allowed to express himself freely, Xu Xian might even give him some benefits in the end.
But he also has a conscience. Xu Xian even took the initiative to treat her. If he took advantage of her, he seemed to be a bit unhuman, so he took the initiative to put away his petty thoughts.
But after this, Xu Xian was still a little reluctant to give up, so why didn't he continue talking? It's because she has no money, Xu Xian can continue to renew her subscription!
But Xu Xian only dared to think like this in her heart. If she really wanted her to take the initiative to speak out, it would be better to let her die.
The two of them walked back in silence with their own different thoughts.
But the person who broke the silence soon appeared. As soon as he reached the second floor, he found that many people were ordering takeout.
Li Menglong looked at the time in confusion. If he read it correctly, he would start work in a while. Why did these people start ordering takeout? Is it dinner?
If it was lunch, it would be even more unreasonable. They didn't want to take up working time to eat, right?
This was a taboo matter. If he could think of bringing a copy to him, Li Menglong, he could barely turn a blind eye.
But judging from how ignored he was by this group of people, it seemed that no one had such good intentions, so did he need to be polite?
He directly stopped a few people who were beaming with joy. Li Menglong wanted to deprive them of their happiness. Otherwise, if they were so happy, it would make him mentally unbalanced!
After a few simple questions, Li Menglong finally figured out what happened. It seemed that all this was still the fault of the girls.
The reason why this group of people ordered food at this time was mainly because they wanted to take it upstairs to join in the fun, which was the "dinner party" organized by the girls!
As for why we had to go there with a takeaway, it's even simpler. It's the rules set by the girls.
As long as you bring takeaway food and share it together, you can join their lunch time. This rumor shouldn't be spread by them on their own initiative, right?
The reason why Li Menglong thinks so is mainly because of time.
If we start from lunch break, the girls should have been eating for nearly an hour. How much more can they eat?
And most of the people who go there now just want to chat with the girls, otherwise do they still expect to eat the leftovers of those people?
Since these women created such a big scene, Li Menglong naturally wanted to go over to support them and see what was going on.
Li Menglong strolled up with Xu Xian. As for the "tickets", they were a few takeaways snatched from downstairs.
To be precise, it should be the delivery from the other party. How could Li Menglong steal the takeaway from his employees? It's not embarrassing enough to say it.
But Xu Xian didn't think his behavior was very glorious. Li Menglong gave the other party two choices, either bring the takeout back to work overtime, or give him the takeout and find a place to rest.
Considering Li Menglong's "promise-keeping" character, they didn't think he was joking.
So they had no choice but to reluctantly give up the opportunity to communicate with the girls. Fortunately, they could still see the girls from time to time. Even if the situation was bad, they could still chat with Xu Xian, so it was not too much of a pity.
But they didn't understand why Li Menglong had to go there and join in the fun. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be interested in similar scenes. Shouldn't he have experienced it many times?
Xu Xian can give an answer to this question: Li Menglong simply doesn't want to see those women too happy.
Repaying grievances is too normal for them. Xu Xian followed behind and just obeyed fate, hoping not to cause too much trouble this time.
However, considering that there were so many colleagues around, Xu Xian was relatively relieved.
Even if Li Menglong is ignorant, girls who are artists should always be afraid. Besides, Xu Xian is indeed a little curious about their current state.
The two of them had just arrived on the third floor, and they didn't even have to look for it. The sound came from one room. And it sounds like it's not just chatting, it's probably a talent show mixed in. Otherwise, why would so many people be cheering?
"Don't they say that their singing is valuable, so they don't say anything in private. Is this considered a breach of the precept? Or is it that the group of people pooled together a sum of money and gave it to them?"
Li Menglong asked Xu Xian this question, but how should Xu Xian answer?
Obviously the latter is impossible. Not to mention how high the price of the girls' performance is. Even if everyone wants to give, the girls cannot accept it.
They are not people like Li Menglong who fall in the eyes of money. There is a lively atmosphere among friends and colleagues. They sang two songs in the atmosphere. Isn't this a normal interpersonal relationship?
Maybe only people like Li Menglong would think about money issues immediately, which made Xu Xian want to drag him away, always feeling that letting him go would ruin everyone's mood.
I have to say that Xu Xian’s feeling is quite accurate. Li Menglong had no intention of being an audience when he entered. Instead, he became a guest:
"Hey, everyone is here? Let me check the time. I have to go to work in ten minutes. Don't you need to prepare in advance?"
Li Menglong started to say disappointing things when he came up, and even secretly teased the girls: "You don't think you are the same as them, do you? They have a lot of savings even if they don't work. What do you have? Bank statements?" < br>
Xu Xian had already begun to silently want to retreat. Originally, the two of them walked in one after the other, but now she was almost retreating out of the door. She wanted to come in again before no one noticed.
She really didn't want everyone to think that she was with Li Menglong, otherwise it would probably implicate her when she was beaten later.
At least this time Xu Xian really felt this way, and even thought that if everyone took action, Li Menglong deserved it, and he couldn't blame others.
As the landlords at the scene, the girls naturally had to come forward before everyone else. This was not to protect Li Menglong, but entirely for their own face.
If they can't protect the people they eat with, how can they hang out in the company in the future?
"Hey, why did you come here? Has anyone invited you?"
The girls tried to force Li Menglong away from the source, but the bitch actually took out a takeaway from behind: "I heard that we can eat together here? I came here specially to see, together?"
Li Menglong also specially opened the lunch box to let the girls see the food inside. Don't think that he just used an empty lunch box to deceive people, he is not that kind of person!
It's just that his confident behavior was too provocative, as if he came specifically to cause trouble.
However, in the face of Li Menglong's provocation, everyone's reaction was different.
Ordinary colleagues were not as angry as Xu Xian imagined. Although Li Menglong's words were a bit sinister, his reminder itself was not problematic.
Work is about to start in ten minutes. They always need to tidy up their clothes and calm down, so they shouldn't waste any more time here.
Even if he didn't come over, if everyone continued to make trouble for a few minutes, they would probably disperse one after another.
Li Menglong is right about one thing. They are indeed incomparable with the girls, especially the comparison between deposits and bills is too realistic.
So in the face of the girls' attempts to stay, everyone smiled and said they would meet again next time, and soon they were the only ones left in the room.
Now the girls finally had nothing to worry about. They had blocked the door and wanted Li Menglong to give them an explanation today.
However, Li Menglong was unusually calm. He was even picking up the unopened takeaways from the ground.
By the way, many people came over just to join in the fun, so who would have the heart to open a takeaway and eat.
This was a big advantage for Li Menglong. He actually collected no less than ten takeaways in a short period of time: "No one has eaten these. I just happened to take them back to heat them up. Isn't dinner already settled?"
Li Menglong looked like he was diligent and thrifty, and the girls were speechless.
They really want to say that they are not short of food money. With their income, it is no problem to order one dish and lose one.
But such words cannot be said out loud. Their views are relatively correct, at least they cannot say anything that confuses right and wrong.
The leftover takeaways in front of them can really only be blamed on them, even if it is not their intention, but it is the fact that everyone is here for them.
Unless they lost these takeaways, but how could they have the nerve to say so, do they really want to eat these for dinner?
Seeing the silence of the girls, Xu Xian was very nervous at first, fearing that they would conflict with Li Menglong.
But the fact is that the speed at which the girls recognized the reality almost reached Xu Xian's waist. These women have already begun to take the initiative to choose takeaways. They should choose their favorite food first.
There are even enthusiastic girls calling Xu Xian who is in a daze: "Come here quickly, maknae, what are you doing in a daze, otherwise you will have to eat what they pick out!"
Xu Xian wanted to say that she was not involved and she didn't need to eat these at night.
But Xu Xian didn't have the courage to say these words. It takes courage and wisdom to be a maverick in the team.
Xu Xian barely possesses these qualities, but she doesn't want to waste it on these trivial things. It's just eating takeout, she can do that!
Seeing the girls moving, Li Menglong's preparations were in vain. In other words, he didn't expect how easy it would be for these women to talk.
But this result is indeed what he wants to see, and he can even open a back door for these women, such as cooking two more hot dishes for dinner.
But he soon realized that he was naive. The girls were sensible on one side, but they had not forgotten the contradiction between the two sides.
"Now that dinner is settled, it's time to talk about the trouble you came over to make trouble. Why do you have to appear wherever we are? Can't we stay away from each other?"
The girls took the initiative to ask, but their disgust was quite obvious. Should Li Menglong take the initiative...
