Wealthy Love

Chapter 40

The 20 people who entered the finals were uniformly arranged by Mrs. Ye to live in Mrs. Mrs. Ye's apartment.

There are only 18 people who actually live in the apartment, and two of them are not among them.One is Qi Feishuang, who is now a popular singer, and the other is Sun Xiaoxiao, a well-known domestic supermodel.The participation of these two people has brought more attention to this selection activity.

Most of the other candidates were students from the design department or acting department of famous universities in China.

Among these people, Zhang Chixiang was the oldest one, and he didn't have any name or background.

"Sister Zhang, which university did you graduate from?" Someone asked Zhang Chi.

"I haven't graduated from university." Zhang Chi thought he wasn't telling the truth.

Undoubtedly, in the eyes of everyone, Zhang Chi wanted to be the least competitive one.

The apartment is for two people.

Zhang Chi wants to live with Xihua, who is from the acting department.

Zhang Chi wants to be humble, to behave in an ordinary way, and to be non-competitive. Moreover, no one would consider Zhang Chi to be his rival.Zhang Chi thought he didn't care much about the final result.The purpose of Zhang Chi's thinking is not to be a spokesperson.

In fact, Zhang Chixiang was not the only one who didn't care about the result.And those two wealthy daughters.One is Huang Yiran, the only daughter of Huang Yuan, a rich man in C City. The Huang family owns five high-end hotels in C City.The other is the daughter of Hong's Hospital. Hong's Hospital is a top private hospital in City C. Its assets exceeded [-] million ten years ago, and now it has immeasurable wealth.

The purpose of these two people to participate in the selection of spokespersons for "Purple Love and Quiet Love" is naturally not the final result.

"Then, why did the two of them come to this event?" Someone asked in confusion.

"Ye Yunhuai for Ye's? Ye Yunhuai is now the number one golden bachelor in C City. Not only is he handsome, but he has never been scandalized. The most important thing is that Ye has a powerful status in C City... It is said , Ye Yunhuai attaches great importance to this design, if he can become the spokesperson of 'Zi Lian You Qing', he will have more chances to get in touch with Mr. Ye."

"It turns out that they didn't want to be spokespersons, but to catch rich men."

"If you become a spokesperson, you will not only gain fame and fortune, but also have the opportunity to get along with Ye Yunhuai. Who would want to miss such an opportunity! If you are really selected, it will be equivalent to becoming famous overnight and flying to the top of the branch. I don't know how much less effort it will take. year."

"That's why the competition is so fierce."

"Then it's no wonder Qi Feishuang and Sun Xiaoxiao also came to participate..."

The fierce competition was indeed within Zhang Chi's expectation.

Now, Zhang Chi wants to understand why Ye Yunhuai asked her to participate in this selection. This is the most effective way to return to this circle.

However, Zhang Chi thought it would take a lot of courage to face the eyes of everyone again.

Exposure in front of the media is tantamount to uncovering the scars once again.

This, Zhang Chi thought, was ready.

On the first day of being arranged to live in Ye's apartment, no activities were arranged, but this day was used as a free time for everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment and prepare well, and then began the next ten days. special training.

The content of the training includes dance, makeup, etiquette, costume design, performance, catwalk and so on.

Celebrity Qi Feishuang and supermodel Sun Xiaoxiao do not participate in this training.

For Zhang Chixiang, there was nothing to prepare for.

Before it was time for dinner, Huang Yiran suddenly called everyone together.Huang Yiran is the daughter of a wealthy family.

"Dear sisters, it is a kind of fate that we can get together among thousands of people. I really want to be friends with everyone, so I will treat you to dinner tonight."

"So, we can use your Huang's hotel?" Someone couldn't help but excitedly said.

Huang's hotels are the most high-end hotels in City C. For these college students, the consumption standards there have always been out of reach.

Huang Yiran said with a smile, "It seems that I am not sincere to invite everyone to eat in our own hotel. I have prepared a VIP card for each of you. As long as you have this card, you can take anyone to One free consumption at my hotel."

"Ah, is this true?"

Some people could hardly believe such a good thing could happen.

"Of course." Huang Yiran took out more than a dozen VIP cards and issued one to each of them.

"Then Miss Huang, where do you want to invite us to eat? Is there any place better than Huang's hotel?"

"Everything in our hotel is good, but there is one dish that can't be cooked. That is 'Guifeixiao'. We want to participate in the selection, so we naturally ask for good luck. Of course, we have to eat 'Guifeixiao', which can give We bring good luck." Huang Yiran smiled softly.

"The imperial concubine laughs!" Many people were particularly excited when they heard this name.

"What is the imperial concubine's smile?" On the way there, Zhang Chi couldn't help asking the girl who lived with her next to her.Her name is Xu Yuan, and she is a student in the fashion design department of University B, and she hasn't graduated yet.

"Sister Zhang, are you from out of town?" Xu Yuan asked.

"Well, I just arrived here not long ago." Zhang Chi wanted to answer.

"Guifeixiao has a history of hundreds of years in C City, and now it can be regarded as a must in C City, just like a man who does not climb the Great Wall is not a hero. If you have not eaten the Guifeilou here'Guifeixiao ’, in fact, it’s not really considered to have been to City C.”

"Then what exactly is this 'Grand Concubine's Smile'?"

"It's mandarin fish, made from the best and freshest mandarin fish. It's delicious, refreshing, and has endless aftertaste... However, I've only heard of it, and I've never eaten it... Speaking of this 'Grand Concubine's Smile', there is another A story that has been handed down to this day, it is said that a long time ago, there was an emperor, because the time was too long, so I don't know what year it was, and I don't know which emperor it was. Selected as a concubine in the palace, she won the emperor's favor, and was finally named a noble concubine. That noble concubine was very favored, and enjoyed all the wealth and honor in the palace. It's just that she grew up here and always ate the chef of a restaurant here. It is a kind of mandarin fish made in the palace. The imperial concubine missed this taste very much. Later, the imperial concubine became pregnant with dragon seeds and wanted to eat mandarin fish made in this way. The emperor asked all the royal chefs to try all kinds of mandarin fish. But no one can cook like that chef. Later, the emperor smiled for Concubine Bo Ai, and took the chef into the palace all the way to cook mandarin fish for the concubine, and the concubine ate what he cooked. The mandarin fish queen smiled happily. Seeing the concubine's happy smile, the emperor gave this dish the name "Guifei's smile". The chef was also appointed as the imperial cook and stayed in the palace. .Later, the chef got old and returned to his hometown. He came back here again and passed on this dish of "Grand Concubine Laughing" to his descendants. Later, it is said that this dish can bring good luck to people, especially He is a scholar who is going to Beijing to rush for the exam, and almost before he leaves, he will come to eat this imperial concubine's smile, saying that it can bring him good luck... Such stories have been passed down to this day..."

Hundreds of years of inheritance, there are still many stories behind this dish.

Zhang Chi thought about it, and then the "Royal Concubine Building" arrived.

The antique-like decoration has an antique flavor.

"Ms. Huang, hello, please come inside!" It seems that Huang Yiran should be a frequent visitor here.

Under the leadership of the waiter, everyone walked towards the private room on the second floor.

When they passed the door of the back kitchen, they could clearly hear a quarrel coming from inside.

No one would care about such a thing, and no one would be willing to take care of it.Zhang Chi thought the same.

However, a familiar voice fell into Zhang Chixiang's ears, "Manager, I really didn't take it. I can swear."

That voice is very special, hoarse and gloomy, as if it has experienced countless winds and rains.

Zhang Chi didn't think he heard this voice wrong.Because, in this world, there should not be such a coincidence that there will be a second person with the same muted voice.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but stop, turned around and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.

"Sister Zhang, what are you doing?" Xu Yuan called from behind.

Zhang Chi thought but continued walking forward as if he didn't hear it at all.

Because of Xu Yuan's cry, everyone stopped in their tracks, looking at Zhang Chi in astonishment.

Zhang Chi wanted to follow the voice into the back kitchen.

"Manager, I can swear, I really didn't see it, I didn't see anything. I can swear by any name."

A tall, middle-aged woman was wearing white overalls, her mask had been taken off, revealing a weather-beaten face, and there were cleaning tools standing beside her. It seemed that she should be the cleaner here.

And the woman called "Manager" pointed at her with a superior and angry expression.

"Please believe me, I really didn't see it." The middle-aged woman lowered her head and said cowardly and lowly.

That voice, that silhouette, can't be wrong.

"Sister Li? Is it really you?" Zhang Chi wanted to say softly.

Hearing Zhang Chi's thoughtful voice, the woman turned her head, yes, she was the Sister Li whom Zhang Chi wanted to know in prison.The one who told her that when she left the gate of the prison, she had to leave without looking back.

"Chi Xiang, it's you?" Sister Li also looked extremely surprised.

"Sister Li, I didn't expect to see you here." Zhang Chi wanted to walk over and hug Sister Li. In prison, Sister Li was the one who really cared about her. Now seeing her again, Zhang Chi Chi Xiang suddenly had an urge to cry.It's like meeting a loved one.

In this world, Zhang Chi thinks he doesn't have any relatives anymore.

"Okay, if you want to catch up on the old days, you have to hand over my things first." The manager said bitterly.

Sister Li let go of Zhang Chi and turned to the manager, "Manager, I really didn't see your ring."

"Sister Li, what's going on?" Zhang Chi wanted to ask.

"The manager's ring is missing. She suspects it's me...I really don't have one..." Sister Li didn't know how to explain it.

"Manager, why did your ring disappear?" Zhang Chi wanted to ask.

The manager is a beautiful but slightly mean woman in her 30s, "I want to come to the kitchen to check whether the freshly delivered fish is fresh, and I am afraid that the ring will be dirty, so I took it off and put it on this table At this time, she happened to come in to collect the garbage, and when I turned around, I found that my ring was gone, you said, who else would there be besides her?" The manager turned to the people who followed Zhang Chi Xiang who also came here talking.

"I really didn't see it. Really, manager, please believe me. If I tell a little bit of lies, I will die without a burial. I will be hit by a car when I go out, and I will be struck by lightning." Sister Li said Said, while crying, while kneeling down to the manager.

Zhang Chi wanted to feel sad for a while.

Everyone watched this scene silently. They were not interested in this matter. They didn't care at all whether Sister Li took the ring. They only cared about why Zhang Chi wanted to know someone like Sister Li.

"If you don't believe it, you can search it casually." Sister Li said with tears of humiliation.

The manager still had a superior attitude, she turned her gaze to Zhang Chixiang, "You call her Sister Li, then, did you meet 'inside'?" When "inside" was mentioned, the manager's voice The voice became shady.

"Yes, yes, we met in prison." Zhang Chi wanted to say it frankly.

Zhang Chi wanted to be prepared long ago, ready to uncover the scars at any time.

But Huang Yiran and the others behind Zhang Chixiang stared at Zhang Chixiang with wide eyes when they heard the word "prison", as if they were looking at an alien.

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, the manager's mouth curled up into a cold and cruel smile, "Then you are inmates?"

"Yes, so what?" Zhang Chi wanted to look at the manager, but he didn't lose any momentum.

Having been in prison is Zhang Chixiang's pain, but Zhang Chixiang doesn't feel that he is inferior to others because of this.

"Then do you know what she went to prison for?" the manager asked.

"I don't know." Zhang Chi wondered.

Because he felt that it was everyone's pain, Zhang Chixiang never asked Sister Li, and Sister Li never said anything about it.

"Not only did she take drugs, but she also hid drugs. Don't you know all of this?" The manager asked Zhang Chi thinking arrogantly.

"But, manager, I have already quit a long time ago, really completely quit." Sister Li cried bitterly.

"Ha, ha, in this world, how many people can really get rid of drug addiction? I don't believe this. If you were not forced to use money to take drugs, how dare you take things under my nose What about it?" The manager decided that the ring belonged to Sister Li.

It is said that drug addicts can do anything for drugs. The manager seems to have her reason for saying this.

"I really didn't take it."

"If you didn't take it, the ring is here, how could it disappear?"

"If you don't believe me, you can search, you can do whatever you want." Sister Li said with humiliation.

"Oh, why didn't you say something like that at the beginning? As soon as your inmate came, you dared to have me search you? I think it's not that simple, right?" the manager said angrily, looking at him viciously. Zhang Chi thought.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chi wanted to ask.

"Who knows if you and her are accomplices? Maybe she stole the ring just now, and it was transferred to you when you hugged, so she dares to let me search you now. You are all people who came out of there, Who knows what tricks you two will play?"

"You!" Zhang Chixiang was really angry when he met such a confounding and unreasonable person for the first time.

"Then what exactly do you want?" Zhang Chi wanted to hold back the breath in his heart and asked.

"If you want to search, both of you have to search, right here, take it off for me, let us all see it clearly, so as to return your innocence."
