Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

Page 205

"The whereabouts of this diamond have been unknown since 188. It appeared in the United States during World War II, and most recently it appeared at a formal auction in the Soviet Union in 200, where it was bought by an unknown private buyer."

Private buyers would absolutely never publicly display their collections.

The editors were astonished, exchanging glances, surprised that the beautiful girl in front of them was so knowledgeable.

The editor-in-chief felt a chill run down his spine, and his admiration for Lin Wanyu reached its peak. He asked abruptly, "Is there anything else?"

Lin Wanyu couldn't think of anything more and was about to shake her head when Su Mingyang said, "My girlfriend has been talking for so long, her throat is dry. If you want to know more, you should get a glass of water first."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyu looked at Su Mingyang with tenderness and was warmed by his thoughtfulness.

Zeng Xiaoxian, standing to the side, said somewhat embarrassedly, "To be honest, I'm a little thirsty too."

The editor-in-chief realized what was happening and quickly asked the receptionist to pour the three of them a glass of water. Then he asked, "Miss, are there any other errors in our magazine?"

Seeing the editor-in-chief's humble attitude, Su Mingyang's impression of him improved considerably. He turned to Lin Wanyu and smiled, "Wanyu, continue."

Lin Wanyu blinked, then leaned close to Su Mingyang's ear, blushing, and said, "But what if I can't say it?"

"what"

Su Mingyang was stunned for a moment, seeing a group of editors staring at them expectantly, waiting for the next development, and felt a little lost.

Leaving immediately wouldn't be a good idea, so he quickly came up with a plan and calmly said, "Let me add something. Your magazine had an issue that mentioned Lin Jie Jie's new album, and the review was fine. But what's baffling is that you actually put up a picture of Dong Guo Lin! I'm really curious, one has hair, and the other doesn't, how could you get that wrong?"

"puff"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Xiaoxian spat out a mouthful of water, which landed directly on the editor-in-chief's face, which was flushed red with shame.

Seeing this, he hurriedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I just couldn't help it."

"fine."

The editor-in-chief took the tissue handed to him by the receptionist and wiped his face.

Lin Wanyu almost laughed, but covered her lips with her hand and asked softly, "Mingyang, is this mistake you're making up?"

Su Mingyang didn't speak, he just shook his head.

Lin Wanyu pursed her lips, not wanting to ask any more questions.

At this moment, the editor-in-chief solemnly said to the two of them, "Thank you both for pointing out the errors in our magazine. From now on, our magazine will definitely undergo strict review before publication."

He was too embarrassed to ask any further. If he were to ask any more shocking questions, he would lose all face. Su Mingyang waved his hand: "It's a small matter. But I have to say, put more effort into the magazine's content, instead of just thinking about how to use persuasive language to get customers to cancel their subscriptions."

"That's right."

"Mingyang is right."

Lin Wanyu, Zeng Xiaoxian, played the straight man.

The editor-in-chief's face, which had just been cooled down by Zeng Xiaoxian's sip of water, turned bright red. He said sincerely, "What this gentleman says is true."

After saying that, he turned to the group of staff and said sternly, "Have you all remembered what this gentleman said?"

The group replied, "Understood, Editor-in-Chief."

The editor-in-chief nodded in satisfaction, then said to the receptionist, "And you too, remember?"

"Understood, Editor-in-Chief."

The receptionist smiled broadly, but was secretly plotting something.

She was just a receptionist; the magazine's contents were none of her business. Besides, canceling a subscription would mean a pay cut. The editor-in-chief, of course, wouldn't care what the receptionist thought—he was the boss, he made the decisions. He tentatively approached Lin Wanyu, saying, "This young lady has a very unique understanding of the fashion industry. I have a favor to ask, and I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Lin Wanyu glanced at the time, shook her head decisively, and pulled Su Mingyang away from the magazine office.

Zeng Xiaoxian quickly followed.

The editor-in-chief was left calling out in the wind.

Chapter 243 Why don't you keep running!

After leaving the magazine office, the three of them entered the elevator.

After pressing the down arrow key, Zeng Xiaoxian asked, puzzled, "Wanyu, um... the editor-in-chief hasn't said what he wants to talk to you about yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Su Mingyang laughed and said, "Teacher Zeng, didn't you see... the editor-in-chief's eyes lit up when he looked at Wanyu?"

"Oh, I didn't notice that."

Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that this editor-in-chief has feelings for Wanyu and wants to take advantage of a younger woman?"

Su Mingyang: ""

Lin Wanyu pouted, speechless, and said, "Teacher Zeng, what are you thinking? This editor-in-chief obviously... wants me to work for their magazine."

"Ha ha."

Zeng Xiaoxian gave an awkward, sly laugh. "I knew it. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to make a move on you, Wanyu. As for work, forget about it. You're doing just fine at the coffee shop in Mingyang. There's no need for you to go there."

Lin Wanyu nodded and said, "That's right."

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of a question and turned to Su Mingyang, asking, "By the way, Mingyang, what you just said... was that mistake really true? Are Lin Jiejie and Dongguo Lin really that similar?"

Zeng Xiaoxian said, "I don't know if it's really a mistake, but after hearing Mingyang say that, the two of them really do seem quite alike."

Su Mingyang laughed and said, "The only difference between them is a wig. As for whether this mistake is real or not, is there even a need to ask?"

Lin Wanyu smiled and rolled her eyes at him: "Ha, I knew it, you must have made it up. But it's really strange that all the editors at the magazine believed it."

Su Mingyang shrugged: "What's so strange about that? He's just feeling guilty."

Zeng Xiaoxian said, "I believed it back then too."

Su Mingyang joked, "And then you sprayed...the editor-in-chief's face with it."

"Pfft, haha!"

Thinking of the scene, Lin Wanyu burst into laughter.

Zeng Xiaoxian: ""

At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and the three of them stepped out.

Lin Wanyu looked around and saw rows of office buildings all around her. She turned to Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "Teacher Zeng, where is that hair salon you mentioned yesterday? Please take us there."

Lin Wanyu's words instantly shattered Zeng Xiaoxian's joy at canceling the magazine subscription. He murmured twice, unable to utter a word.

He had completely forgotten about getting a haircut, and when Lin Wanyu brought it up, he frantically tried to think of a solution.

The truth is impossible to tell; one can only make up stories to get by in life.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly fall into deep thought, Su Mingyang asked in confusion, "What are you thinking about, Master?"

Lin Wanyu was also very puzzled.

Zeng Xiaoxian snapped out of his daze and had a plan.

He waved to the two of them and said, "It's nothing, a hair salon, right? Come with me."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked around. Seeing a crossroads on his left, he quickly walked towards it, praying that he could find a hair salon.

Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

At first, the two of them were able to keep up with Zeng Xiaoxian's pace.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Xiaoxian walked faster and faster, his short legs moving wildly as he jogged forward, deliberately leaving the two behind.

As Zeng Xiaoxian's figure receded into the distance, Lin Wanyu wondered, "Mingyang, how can Teacher Zeng run so fast in his leather shoes?"

Su Mingyang thought for a moment and said, "I guess he probably needs to pee."

If Zeng Xiaoxian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely praise him as a genius. He could use this excuse if they couldn't find a hair salon on the next few streets, hahaha. "Okay."

Lin Wanyu almost laughed.

Su Mingyang suggested, "Wanyu, let's run too, or we won't be able to keep up with him."

"it is good."

Su Mingyang smiled and took Lin Wanyu's hand, and they started running.

The two moved with such grace that they drew the attention of passersby.

There was even a girl across from me taking out her camera, intending to use it as wallpaper.

Unfortunately, just as she got the focus right and was about to press the shutter, the two of them stopped, which annoyed her: "Why don't you keep running!"

Su Mingyang couldn't hear what the girl opposite him was saying, and even if he did, he wouldn't pay attention. His gaze was focused on Lin Wanyu, who was supporting herself on her knees with her hands and bending over.

"Are you alright, Wanyu?"

"Mingyang, I can't run anymore."

Lin Wanyu said with a bitter face that she was wearing high-heeled sandals today, which couldn't withstand such exertion. She couldn't keep going after running only a few dozen meters.

"Let's take a break first."

As Su Mingyang spoke, he turned his head and saw Zeng Xiaoxian waving at them from ahead, his face full of helplessness.

I thought to myself, "This guy runs so fast, isn't he afraid he might accidentally leak?"

He glanced down casually, then squatted down.

Seeing this, Lin Wanyu, standing behind him, assumed he was going to carry her on his back. A blush rose to her long neck, and she felt both shy and happy. After dating for so long, she had never been carried before, and she couldn't help but feel a little expectant. Biting her lower lip, she said, "Mingyang, thank you for your hard work."
