In this era when everyone advocates "equality for all, fairness and justice", once the news spreads that Li Chuchu got the position of the host out of the blue, it's inevitable that people won't be convinced, and there will surely be those who come to pick a fight.
Seeing that Li Chuchu didn't say a word, Zhu Yuxi thought she had hit the nail on the head and that Li Chuchu was feeling extremely guilty right now. However, she just wanted to expose Li Chuchu's true colors right in front of Chen Junsheng and make her look bad.
Moreover, it was a good chance for her to show off in front of Chen Junsheng and build a positive image of herself as a person who pursued fairness and justice in his heart.
Zhu Yuxi said in a commanding tone, with a rude and arrogant manner,
"The competition for the host position emphasizes fair play. With your qualifications, you're completely unfit for the role! I'm kindly reminding you. I advise you to give this opportunity to someone more capable, or else you'll surely make a fool of yourself on stage."
How many people in the art and publicity team were eyeing the host position?
Even if she didn't say anything, they would surely feel dissatisfied. Then Li Chuchu would have a hard time.
...
Ridiculous.
This was Li Chuchu's impression of this person.
"Senior Sister Mu Wan signed me up for this. You can go and question her if you have the guts. But if you insist that I'm unqualified, then... who is qualified? Just bring her here and let her compete with me."
Li Chuchu narrowed her eyes slightly.
She wasn't a soft target to be bullied. Did this person think they could meddle in her decisions?
Moreover, it was the quota that her senior sister had fought for her. She wasn't so ungrateful as to just give it away.
Where did this person get the nerve to order her around like this?
Zhu Yuxi was startled by Li Chuchu's expression.
But then she thought that this person was just an unknown person who got the position through connections, and she calmed down.
"Li Chuchu, I'm talking to you nicely now. Don't be ungrateful!"
"Then why are you talking to me? You might as well just say that you want to be the host and ask me to give you the position. At least you wouldn't seem so hypocritical." The mocking look in Li Chuchu's eyes became even more obvious. "You want it all. Who are you and what right do you have to order me around?"
Zhu Yuxi's face flushed red instantly.
She glared angrily at Li Chuchu, her lips trembling, but she couldn't say a single word.
Chen Junsheng didn't quite understand what was going on, but it didn't stop him from standing up for Li Chuchu. "Yeah, if you want to be the host, go find the person in charge of signing up! Why are you picking a fight here?"
Hearing this,
Zhu Yuxi looked at Chen Junsheng in disbelief, as if he had done something wrong to her. Her voice rose an octave higher: "You're taking her side?"
The shrill voice was really ear - piercing. Li Chuchu closed her eyes.
This girl had quite a loud voice.
Chen Junsheng looked utterly confused. "Who else should I take side with if not her?"
Was he supposed to help others bully Li Chuchu?
Not to mention that Li Chuchu had covered for him before. If he really did that, his father would scold him to death.
Zhu Yuxi gritted her teeth. She couldn't bring herself to scold Chen Junsheng. She could only glare at Li Chuchu fiercely and left with a threat, "Fine, fine, fine. I'll just wait and see how you end up!"
...
After Zhu Yuxi left in a huff,
Li Chuchu glanced at Chen Junsheng. "Do you know this person?"
Chen Junsheng shook his head blankly. "I don't know her."
"Then why did she look at you like you were a heart - breaker when she left?"
Chen Junsheng really wanted to shout out his innocence. The only thing he loved most was his precious motorcycle. Everything else was just a passing cloud to him.
Seeing his innocent look, Li Chuchu clicked her tongue twice in her heart. She guessed that he probably didn't even know what was going on. Sometimes Chen Junsheng was so lively and unrestrained that she even forgot that he was the son of the factory director.
It seemed that he was really a precious gem, and there were always people eyeing him wherever he went.
Chen Junsheng frowned.
"Anyway, I don't think that person is a good one. Since she also wants to be the host, you should be careful. Don't let her trip you up."
It seemed that he was a bit more sensible.
Li Chuchu gave him a disdainful look. "There are plenty of people who want to harm me. Who is she?"
Every time she went to Hong Kong City, she had narrowly escaped death. If she wasn't a bit more careful, she might have died on the spot.
Chen Junsheng: ... Was this something to be proud of?
Forget it. He didn't dare to say anything or ask any questions.
He was afraid that Li Chuchu would retort.
...
Fortunately, the restaurant Chen Junsheng chose was really good, which could make up for the annoyance of meeting that stupid person when they left home. It was almost past the peak dining time, but there were still quite a lot of people in the restaurant.
The snow - pickled small yellow croaker noodles that Li Chuchu ordered were extremely delicious. The soup was milky white, and the fish melted in the mouth. Paired with a portion of golden - fried crispy meat, the shiny color made her mouth water.
The crispy meat was crunchy when she ate it.
While chewing rapidly, Li Chuchu took a moment to praise, "The food in this restaurant is really good. It tastes different from the other restaurants I've been to."
Chen Junsheng ordered a bowl of sparerib noodles. The spareribs were made from pig ribs of just the right thickness, and the soup looked quite thick. It was obvious that the shopkeeper was a meticulous person.
While slurping the noodles, he said, "I heard that the shopkeeper is from the south. The food here has a more southern flavor and is quite authentic. By the way, aren't you going to Spring City this time?"
Hearing this, Li Chuchu suddenly missed the roast goose rice noodles she had in Dongguan City.
With the unpalatable canteen food in the background and the thrilling adventures in the dangerous places, the bowl of roast goose rice noodles she ate during that short and relaxing evening had become like a white moonlight in her heart.
Just thinking about it, the taste of the roast goose still lingered in her mouth.
Li Chuchu just sighed a little in her heart and then continued to lower her head to eat the noodles. "Yes, the food there is quite unique. If you ever go to Spring City, I'll recommend some restaurants to you."
"Okay!"
True to his nature as a rich second - generation who was dedicated to "eating, drinking, having fun", Chen Junsheng got excited as soon as he heard about delicious food and fun places.
Just as Li Chuchu was burying her head in her food, a surprised voice came from behind, "Li Chuchu?"
Li Chuchu felt extremely frustrated.
Why did so many people know her?
Had she become so well - known?
She bit off the noodles in her mouth, chewed them quickly twice, and then turned around.
In that instant, her eyes widened in surprise.
Oh, it was an old acquaintance!
That handsome and elegant face with extremely superior features, that high nose bridge that looked like one could slide down it, that exquisitely flamboyant dressing style, and that aristocratic aura that clearly showed his noble family background.
He might as well have written the words "I'm the male lead" on his face.
Guess what?
She actually ran into Duan Jingqi in this small restaurant!
Yes, that's right.
It was the male lead whom the original owner had relentlessly chased after for more than two hundred chapters, Duan Jingqi.
Li Chuchu was a bit puzzled.
But why did he have the time to come to this small restaurant to eat noodles? Shouldn't he be busy having a passionate and earth - shattering forbidden love with his step - mother?
