Chapter 5 Hyun-bi's Online Showdown
Lu Ziqiao nudged Martin with his elbow and grinned mischievously, "Did you see that girl's eyes just now? She looked like she wanted to devour you. I bet if you asked her out, she'd definitely say yes! Then it'd be second base, then a home run, and you could ride like a horse galloping across the plains! Okay, let's go!"
Okay, Martin was a little unsure before whether he was Lu Ziqiao, the "playboy" from "iPartment", but now he's 100% sure.
Martin pushed Lu Ziqiao away and said, "Give me a break. Although I'm a lecher, I still have my limits."
Lu Ziqiao scoffed, "Bottom line? How much per pound?"
Martin: "..."
Lu Ziqiao truly deserves his title as the grandmaster of womanizing; only he would say something like that...
Wow, this wedding is great!
Lu Ziqiao's eyes lit up when he saw the dazzling array of food on the table.
He hasn't eaten all day!
"Father! You've finally arrived! Sister Yifei has been waiting for you for ages! Come on, let's go!"
A man suddenly darted out and hurriedly pulled Martin away.
Sister Yifei? Hu Yifei?
Upon hearing that it was Hu Yifei looking for him, Martin let the man pull him toward the apartment.
Lu Ziqiao clutched his stomach and pretended to be upset, saying, "Um, Master Ma, my stomach suddenly feels a little uncomfortable. Why don't you go ahead and do your work, and I'll come find you later?"
Martin knew that Lu Ziqiao was using this as an excuse to run away, but he also knew that the kid wouldn't get away. When he heard "couples stay, rent reduced, half utilities waived," he would definitely take the bait.
"OK."
...
"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it!"
After Hu Yifei put the fake teddy bear on the staff member, she kicked him away and said into the walkie-talkie, "Amy, check the lighting conditions and notify the photographer to take a test shot."
After saying that, Hu Yifei seamlessly transitioned, putting down the walkie-talkie and picking up the phone, saying, "If the carpet isn't long enough, have him sew his red underwear onto it to make it five meters long!"
"Hey, the band's instruments need a final check. Who's in charge of this? Let him come see me."
Hu Yifei casually tossed the phone to a staff member standing nearby.
The staff member rushed over and took the phone.
If I break the phone, I'll be in big trouble.
"And Lisa, call the priest for me, see if he's arrived yet! Go go go go!"
Hu Yifei was extremely busy, her voice hoarse, and she said helplessly, "Tony, my takeout, be efficient!"
Tony: "The delivery will be here soon."
Hu Yifei lost her balance and half-fell onto the sofa.
She's exhausted and hungry right now...
At this time, the doorbell rang.
"My takeout is here!"
Hu Yifei was overjoyed and ran to open the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zeng Xiaoxian waving at her.
Hu Yifei's smile froze instantly.
"Ah~~ it's my takeout again."
He closed the door dejectedly, as if he hadn't seen Zeng Xiaoxian, turned around and left, sitting down on the sofa.
Zeng Xiaoxian, suppressing his embarrassment, pushed open the door and entered. He clasped his hands together, forced a smile, and said, "Comrade Hu Yifei! I have something to say to you."
Hu Yifei smoothed her hair and said casually, "Hurry up and tell me, can't you see I'm busy here?"
Zeng Xiaoxian pointed at everyone and said, "When you're giving instructions, can you at least have a sense of teamwork?"
"I don't understand what you mean. My team is doing great, very organized."
Hu Yifei shrugged.
Zeng Xiaoxian said, "The team I'm referring to is the one that participated in planning and organizing this wedding, not the other members."
"For example?"
Hu Yifei fiddled with the walkie-talkie and asked casually.
"For example—me!"
Zeng Xiaoxian spread his hands.
These words immediately drew everyone's attention.
Hu Yifei suddenly realized, "Oh~ you're the host. I'll call you for a meeting after I'm done here."
Zeng Xiaoxian paused, gave a dry laugh, and said, "I want to emphasize that I am the host, not the announcer."
Is there a difference?
Hu Yifei blinked blankly at Zeng Xiaoxian.
Zeng Xiaoxian grew anxious and exclaimed, "Of course there's a difference! I think the groom appointed me as the emcee because he wanted me to control the entire wedding ceremony!"
Hu Yifei finally understood; they were here to steal her position. She couldn't help but sneer, "Oh? I think the bride appointed me as the general director of this wedding so I could control everything on set—including the emcee!"
Zeng Xiaoxian pursed his lips and said, "Fine, fine! Since you've already read my speech and my plans, why are you still..."
Hu Yifei blinked her innocent big eyes.
Zeng Xiaoxian was taken aback and loudly questioned, "You haven't seen it yet, have you!?"
"Who says I haven't seen it?"
Hu Yifei retorted.
"You actually..."
Hu Yifei interrupted him, explaining, "I just think your idea isn't really suitable for this wedding. What strange old-fashioned wedding plan was written by some weird uncle? It's been so many years since liberation; it's unusable."
"No matter how strange it is, it's still better than your perverted old lady's plan, right?"
Zeng Xiaoxian pulled out an animal headgear from the corner and complained, "It looks to me like you want to turn this wedding into an animal carnival! Moo~"
"You're out never in (you're so outdated, there's no hope for you)! I'll listen to your nagging when I have time."
Just as Hu Yifei was about to leave, not wanting to argue with Zeng Xiaoxian, Zeng Xiaoxian called her back.
"Stop! The groom is my roommate whom I live with every day. I want to give him a perfect wedding without any regrets."
"The bride is my best friend from college, and I won't allow her wedding to be so conventional and unoriginal!"
Hu Yifei walked up to Zeng Xiaoxian and glared at him defiantly.
Zeng Xiaoxian wiped the drool from his face, pointed to the balcony with both hands, and asked, "This is what you call a unique feature?!"
Three rock youths are playing guitar wildly outside on the balcony.
"Why did you bring so many fake foreigners? The bride and groom aren't foreigners. People who don't know any better might think the bride is going to marry someone from Mexico!"
Zeng Xiaoxian was overjoyed to speak his mind.
"So, if I bring two penguins over, the bride will have to marry someone from Antarctica, right?!"
Hu Yifei glared at Zeng Xiaoxian and said sarcastically, "Your plan is good: bow to heaven and earth, is this a wedding or a grave visit?!"
Zeng Xiaoxian hadn't expected Hu Yifei to be so unreasonable. Pointing at her, he said, "It's Chinese tradition, it's only natural!"
Hu Yifei smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've changed the tradition to a Western style. I've invited a priest from the Church of Our Lady of Amitabha, so there will definitely be a sacred ceremony."
Zeng Xiaoxian clapped his hands, suppressing his anger, and said, "So that means I don't need to host?"
"Hahaha..."
After laughing, Hu Yifei said jokingly, "How can that be? You can announce the acts during the warm-up performances."
