On the last day, the production crew started making a lot of noise early in the morning, banging gongs and drums. Since there were no other houses nearby, they didn't have to worry about disturbing anyone.
The people in the small villa were none other than Chen Liqing, who was woken up early in the morning. They chuckled as they looked at him, who was smiling broadly.
Judging from the looks of it, Chen Liqing is acting crazy again; he doesn't sleep in late and he doesn't let others sleep in either.
Gu Wancheng had a dark expression, her resentment even greater than that of a vengeful ghost. She smiled at Chen Liqing, revealing a set of white teeth. She looked fierce, but in reality, she wasn't very kind.
" Director Chen, if you don't give a reasonable explanation, I think you'll probably be leaving here lying down."
"I second that." Cheng Yan nodded decisively.
Bo Yizhou and Chaochao had just returned from their run and hadn't had a chance to shower yet.
Chaochao had developed a habit of feeling ants crawling on her body, felt uncomfortable all over.
Seeing this, Gu Wancheng raised her hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm taking Chaochao to take a bath."
After saying that, he pulled Chaochao upstairs.
Chen Liqing was so shocked that he was speechless, and watched helplessly as the family left.
Jian Yue leaned back lazily, " Director Chen, did you wake us up so early this morning because you're planning to treat us to a big meal?"
"Heh, not a bad idea," Chen Liqing said expressionlessly.
"Hey Director Chen, do you think it's reasonable for you to wake us up without paying for breakfast?"
"How is it unreasonable? Sleeping too much is bad for you." Chen Liqing's lips twitched as he earnestly explained.
Chu Yi'an pressed down on Jian Yue's hand and chuckled softly, " Director Chen, you don't want to leave here lying sideways, do you?"
A threat, or a legitimate threat.
What a joke! Chen Liqing is afraid? Then he'll take Chen Liqing's surname.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yan suddenly appeared beside him, put his arm around his neck, and smiled sinisterly, " Director Chen, let me tell you a secret, I'm a seventh-dan in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)."
Chen Liqing felt the hand on his shoulder suddenly become as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Several viewers who woke up early saw the broadcast notification and clicked in, just in time to hear Cheng Yan's words.
[So early today, is Director Chen up to something again?]
[ Little Cheng is actually a 7th Dan in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)! That's amazing!]
[ Director Chen's caused trouble again. Little Cheng, give him a punch; we won't stop you.]
[Why are there so many people missing? Where are Chengcheng and the others?]
Since Gu Wancheng and the others went upstairs to take a shower, the photographer didn't follow. Anyway, he couldn't get into the room if he went up, so he might as well wait downstairs.
Photographer: He just shrugged and gave up.
" Director Chen, would you like to practice a bit?" Cheng Yan said again.
Chen Liqing felt a chill run down his spine. "How am I supposed to train you? Am I going to be your punching bag?"
You never said you were a 7th-dan in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)!
Jian Yue spoke up at the right moment, " Director Chen, don't be nervous. Little Cheng knows what he's doing and won't go too far."
Really? I just don't believe it. I feel like he wants to punch me to death.
Chen Liqing carefully moved his hand away and subtly shifted his toes. However, he had barely moved when he heard a very soft laugh beside him.
He paused, then quietly moved back.
"This issue isn't actually my responsibility; it's the assistant director's."
Upon hearing this, the assistant director...
He paused for a moment, then picked up the bowl and continued eating his noodles.
I want to throw it at him, but can I even manage to throw it?
"Heh, he's the assistant director, you're the director-in-chief, it's just a matter of a word." Zhao Chengyu looked at him with a half-smile, determined not to give him a chance to shift the blame.
Gu Wancheng leaned on the second-floor stair railing, with Chaochao squatting beside her, watching what was happening below.
He saw clearly Chen Liqing trembling.
Director Chen couldn't help but smile, even though he was drenched in sweat.
It was quite surprising to learn that Cheng Yan was a seventh-dan in Sanda (Chinese kickboxing); I only found out by glancing at the comments on my phone.
I feel a pang of regret. I should have known he wouldn't have gone upstairs. Bathing the baby is nothing compared to watching others make a fool of themselves.
"Dad, what is the seventh dan in Sanda?" Chaochao asked after watching intently for a while.
"He's really amazing, he can take on ten people at once," Gu Wancheng said casually.
"May I?"
Um?
Gu Wancheng looked down at her son's big, bright eyes, "You want to learn Sanda (Chinese kickboxing)?"
Huh? I have to learn this too?
But a seventh-dan Sanda fighter is powerful; he can take on ten opponents at once. Chaochao was conflicted, but after a while, he nodded.
Gu Wancheng patted his head, "Good, that's ambitious. I believe in you."
When will we start learning?
"I'll go back and check first."
Go back and let Butler Chen take a look, to see when is the best time to start learning.
Chaochao wasn't entirely satisfied, but she still nodded reluctantly.
The situation has progressed to the point where Chen Liqing's escape attempt failed, and he is now surrounded by several people, looking weak, pitiful, and helpless.
" Director Chen, we don't need anything fancy, just a simple breakfast will do." Wen Qifeng exchanged a glance with Xu Xiashi's shoulder, and said gently.
Chen Liqing panicked, "This isn't right, there are children here."
The kids he was talking about were already slumped on the sofa, half asleep, completely unable to pay attention to what was happening here.
Chen Liqing's lips twitched when he saw it.
"How is it?" Seeing that he had seen several cubs, Chu Yi'an moved back and blocked his way.
[Hehehe, I'm so excited! Can we each Director Chen a punch?]
[There's no need for one person and one punch; Little Cheng alone is enough.]
[ Chen Liqing: Do you really want me to die?]
[I really want to ask Director Chen, what does it feel like to be surrounded by several handsome men and beautiful women?]
I suddenly want to be Director Chen today!
Chen Liqing was already drenched in sweat, his eyes darting around, when he suddenly spotted the assistant director holding a bowl of rice. "I promised," he said, "You guys go find him, eat whatever you want, he'll pay."
Assistant Director:?
The assistant director clearly heard what he said, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. What did he mean by paying the bill?!
Seeing them walking towards them, the assistant director scrambled to his feet in a panic and ran away.
Chen Liqing still failed to escape, and Jian Yue grabbed him by the back of his collar.
"I said yes, really."
Damn it, it's just the cost of breakfast, and they can't even spare that? Why can't they just rescue the director?
Assistant Director: Damn it, you know it's just the cost of breakfast, would it kill you to pay for it yourself?
Jian Yue then loosened his collar, kindly straightened his clothes, and patted his shoulder.
Chen Liqing quickly ran away.
It was over. Gu Wancheng and Chaochao were barely satisfied and slowly walked downstairs.
" Wancheng, you're downstairs. We got another free breakfast, so we don't have to make it ourselves," Xu Xiashi with a smile, feeling quite pleased with herself.
Gu Wancheng nodded. "I saw it, upstairs."
Everyone was puzzled, then suddenly realized that they must have heard a sound.
"Hey, hasn't President Bo?"
"He's still taking a shower, he'll be down in a bit," Gu Wancheng said.
"I don't know what to eat, but I'm not a picky eater," Zhao Chengyu said, leaning back on the sofa.
"They must be eating noodles. I saw the assistant director eating noodles too."
"Noodles are fine too."
With a thud, Zuozuo rolled off the sofa. Jian Yue quickly pulled him up and checked him over.
Where does it hurt?
"I didn't," Zuozuo shook her head.
The sofa isn't high, and there's a carpet on the floor, so falling off wouldn't be a problem.
The other children were awakened by the noise and looked around with half-open eyes.
