Chapter 103 Counting Horses 【Seeking Monthly Pass】(1/2)

After the meal time, Xu Wenruo had to admit that Huang Xiaochu did have a set of hairy crabs that Xu Wenruo brought were made into several dishes.

A few steamed, spicy, and even a simple cooking of drunk crabs with braised ingredients. They were served with side dishes made of fresh seasonal vegetables. Once served, they made people feel appetite.

“My dishes today are so hearty.”

Teacher Yu Wei looked at the dazzling array of dishes and couldn't help but praise Huang Xiaochu. This made Huang Xiaochu smile happily, and even the fatigue that had been busy for a long time disappeared.

"Crab banquet, I have to thank Xiao Xu for the crabs I brought, otherwise we would have to eat vegetables today."

"Teacher Huang, I should thank you. We were all idle just now. You worked in the kitchen for a long time before we could have this meal."

Xu Wenruo also has a way of talking about how to brag about business. Although he likes to communicate, it does not mean that Xu Wenruo does not understand the worldly ways. Many times, Xu Wenruo is still very sensible.

"And I am also busy in the kitchen for a long time, why is no one thanking me?"

Huang Bo, who had just brought a plate of dishes from the kitchen, heard everyone praise Huang Bo, and he was dissatisfied. So he took two steps quickly, put the plate in his hand on the table, turned his head and waited for everyone to praise him, with a very arrogant expression.

"Thank you for your hard work, so you should sit down and rest for a while, and you've been busy for the afternoon."

It was still Teacher He who came out to smooth things over. He pulled Huang Bo and sat down. Everyone gathered next to the table in the yard and started today's big meal.

"To celebrate our reunion today, let's do one."

Teacher He picked up the drink cup in front of him and naturally started the work of presiding. This should be an occupational disease.

"Today we are a gathering of two new and old actors and singers. Peng Peng and Zifeng are new generation actors, Xiao Xu and Yingfei are new generation singers, and the four of us are old players in the circle."

"Indeed, in a blink of an eye, we have become older generations, and time has passed too quickly."

Hearing Huang Shi and Huang Bo's feelings, He Ling and Yu Wei also felt a feeling of empathy, especially when they saw the energetic young people sitting next to them, the feeling became even stronger.

"Now these guys, Xiao Xu, have the best development."

"By the way, Xiao Xu, you said you were going to film. I haven't asked which company you signed for."

As the few people chatted, they talked about Xu Wenruo again. In fact, they were also very curious about Xu Wenruo. After all, Xu Wenruo's speed of becoming popular was really incredible.

Huang Bo thought that Xu Wenruo signed a contract with a large company, and only a large company had the strength to make a newcomer famous in a short period of time, and only a large company had the strength to let Xu Wenruo film alone.

"I didn't sign a company, so I didn't like to be restrained, so I set up a studio myself and could do something that I was interested in."

"You opened your own studio?"

Huang Bo's face was very surprised because this did not conform to the growth experience of most celebrity artists. Normally, newcomers would sign a big company because large companies have a lot of resources to make people famous. Only after they have a certain status will they establish their own celebrity studio.

Of course, these people may also want to avoid taxes, but as a three-good student, Xu Wenruo, a law-abiding citizen, will definitely not do such a thing, and he will actively declare and pay taxes for every income he earns.

"I opened a studio with my friend. She is also an insider in the industry and has certain resources."

"Then what you just said is to invest in the filming yourself?"

"That's right, so I'm going to make more money lately."

As soon as Xu Wenruo finished speaking, everyone else was stunned. They thought that Xu Wenruo was saying that filming was supported by the company, and gave him a large amount of resources for him to mess with. Moreover, with the speed of Xu Wenruo becoming popular, many people also thought that Xu Wenruo had a deep background behind him.

But unexpectedly, Xu Wenruo chose to film with all his wealth. Even the craziest gambler dared not make such a decision easily, because if he failed, he would lose everything.

"Have you ever thought it would fail?"

Teacher He asked softly, he was still rational. Although he did not mean to persuade Xu Wenruo, he directly pointed out that Xu Wenruo's decision has a high probability of failure.

"I'm still a little confident in the script, and I don't think it will fail."

Xu Wenruo was full of confidence in this, but Teacher He continued to ask, his voice was very gentle, just like an old senior.

"Then you have to consider the situation after failure, but you must be mentally prepared."

"Actually, I also thought that if this drama fails, I will lose a lot of money, and maybe I can only write a few more songs to support myself."

Xu Wenruo spread his hands and spoke very freely. The elegant temperament of the daughter who had lost her money and returned to her was something that others could not learn at all. This made others feel a lot about Xu Wenruo.

At least after seeing his free and easy nature, they thought that Xu Wen was more willful and not that crazy of overestimating his abilities.

"It's good to be young. You can do whatever you want. We are past this age."

Looking at Xu Wenruo who was full of energy, Huang Shi suddenly said with emotion. Compared with Xu Wenruo, he really felt that he was old, not because of his old body, but because of his mentality. He did not have the kind of heroic spirit of passionate words and roaring in his youth.

"Yes, youth is the greatest capital. Xiao Xu, since you want to do it, then you can do it. It is always good to try more. Even if you fail, it is life experience. With your talent, you will not have to worry about having no food."

I felt that Xu Wenruo's will was very firm. Teacher He patted Xu Wenruo's shoulder and said a little more encouragement. After all, just like what Xu Wenruo said, even if the filming fails, it will have no impact on him. At worst, you can write a few more songs to support yourself.

"People really can't compare with people. When I was as old as you, I still had a meal without a meal. At that time, I followed the performance team around the country, let alone directing the filming, which was so hard to think about."

Huang Bo remembered his previous experience and looked at Xu Wenruo with great envy, envying his youth, and envious of his ability to do what he likes as he pleases.

Several seniors with high status envy Xu Wenruo so much, let alone young people of the same age as him. Concubine Wang Ying was very concerned about Xu Wenruo himself, but she didn't expect that he could take such a big step. If Xu Wenruo's drama could be successful, he would have really reached the top in one step.

As for Peng Peng and Zifeng's sisters, there is no need to say more. Their admiration for Xu Wenruo is almost beyond words, especially Peng Peng, who is the same age as Xu Wenruo, and he is still honing his acting skills, while Xu Wenruo has already started to prepare for his own drama. The gap is not a small part.

When they hadn't seen Xu Wenruo before, they were all fans of Xu Wenruo and liked to listen to new songs created by Xu Wenruo. But now after coming into contact with Xu Wenruo, they have known a completely different Xu Wenruo.

Talented but bold and willful, this is Xu Wenruo in their eyes. The real Xu Wenruo is more charming than the one on the screen. The unique temperament is hard to describe in words, but when I really see him, I will never forget it.

After dinner, Teacher He began to bring everyone to liven up the atmosphere. He carefully prepared a few small games to play with everyone, especially a few young children.

"I'll play a small game with you. This game is called Shuma. I'll watch it, listen carefully."

Seeing everyone waiting and seeing, Teacher He smiled mysteriously and said first.

"Let's count the horses together."

Then he slapped his palms eight times. Amid the crisp applause, everyone was confused. They didn't understand what this meant, and Xu Wenruo certainly knew what the game was going on.

"Okay, how many horses were there just now? Does anyone know?"

Teacher He looked around for a week, but only Xu Wenruo smiled. Zifeng and Wang Ying both looked confused, but only Peng Peng's tone was very firm.

"Eight horses! Right! Teacher He, I must have guessed it right."

"Wrong."

Peng Peng's confident smile froze on his face. Teacher He smiled mischievously, especially when he looked at Peng Peng's stupid appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

"Xiao Xu, you know if it's right."

Seeing the smile on Xu Wenruo's face, Teacher He immediately called his name, and Xu Wenruo's tone was also very confident.

"Seven horses."

"By the way, it's just seven horses."

"How is that possible? I definitely heard it right. It must be eight horses. Teacher He, you do it again."

After hearing Xu Wenruo's answer correctly, Peng Peng did not admit defeat. He didn't believe that he had heard it wrong and suggested that he do it again. Teacher He and Xu Wenruo smiled at each other, and everything was silent.

"Okay, you have to hear it clearly."

"Several horses."

Teacher He quickly clapped with his hands and patted him ten times in a row. Peng Peng was anxious. He listened carefully while complaining to Teacher He.

"Teacher He, you're slower, it's too fast, I can't hear it clearly."

When Teacher He finished applauding, Peng Peng looked depressed because he hadn't heard clearly that Teacher He had just taken a few shots.

"It's over, Teacher He, you're too fast just now, I didn't count it at all."

"Where are sisters and Concubine Ying, do you two know?"

"I didn't hear it clearly, either."

"have no idea."

When they heard Teacher He’s question, Zifeng and Wang Yingfei shook their heads. They didn’t understand the situation and were also confused.

In fact, Huang Bo and Yu Wei, who were observing on the side, did not understand what this game meant. However, they were at the steadfast level of middle-aged people, so they chose to continue observing and did not participate.

"Then Xiao Xu will tell them the answer."

"Two horses in total."

"How is it possible? It's absolutely impossible to be two horses"

Peng Peng stood up and questioned. Although he hadn't counted clearly just now, he would definitely not be two horses. Peng Peng looked at Teacher He and then Xu Wenruo, and even doubted whether the two of them had colluded.

"It's just two horses, Peng Peng, do you want to guess again?"

He heard Teacher He's answer, Peng Peng was a little confused, and he couldn't react for a while.

"Then it happens. I'll demonstrate it to you once, and it's simple."

Seeing Peng Peng who was thinking, Xu Wenruo decided to come forward and help him. He asked Peng Peng to answer the questions.

"Listen carefully, how many horses are there?"

"Come and count the horses."

Xu Wenruo simply patted his palms, then looked at Peng Peng with hope. Seeing that the question Xu Wenruo gave was so simple, Peng Peng once again showed a confident smile on his face. He answered Xu Wenruo with a firm answer!

"A horse! This time it must be a horse!"

Xu Wenruo shook his head and denied Peng Peng's answer. Teacher He laughed and then gave an answer that made Peng Peng doubt his life.

"It's three horses."
