Chapter 12: Functions
This night's dream is also minty.
Qi Xingchen often have messy dreams, most of them are the old things that I don't want to recall from my childhood, and it's very rare for them to be as fresh as today's, so I wake up in a happy mood, humming a song while making up the bedsheets.
Bai Ye woke up earlier than him and paused while rubbing his hair, "What are you doing."
"Fold the quilt."
The hotel's quilts would be taken apart and washed after the guests left the hotel, and folding them would be in vain, but looking at the small fan's nimble movements, it was clear that he was used to taking care of himself, unlike the artists he had seen, who even needed an assistant to put on a pair of socks on their behalf.
Bai Ye fixed her eyes on Qi Xingchen's back for a few seconds and said nothing. So Qi Xingchen happily finished folding his own quilt, and then folded Bai Ye's quilt as well.
Breakfast was served at this hotel, and during the meal the guests of Poor Traveler gathered together and began to discuss their next move.
Tao Tao said, "Let's take a look around Copenhagen, it's already here anyway, so we can use it as a tourist place to hit today."
"I'm in favor of it," Zhang Yunfei said, "Are there any famous attractions over here?"
Qi Xingchen searched his brain for memories, "There's the Copenhagen Theater, Andersen's Cemetery, the National Museum of Denmark, the Little Mermaid sculpture ...... Copenhagen Theater and Andersen's Cemetery are close enough to see together."
"It's settled then," Zhang Yunfei clapped his hands, "Xingchen, it's so nice to have you, it saves so much time in doing strategy."
I didn't have time to interrupt, but the travel route was decided in a few words. Liu Ziyu saw that it would not work, must rub some shots, rolled his eyes, "Xingchen, you deliberately checked the route before you came, right, good effort oh."
Qi Xingchen vaguely "hmm", the Qi family has more than a dozen wineries in Denmark, Qi Yunxiao would occasionally bring the original owner over to inspect them, so the original owner's brain retained a lot of impressions.
"I told you," Liu Ziyu took a sip of milk, "you've never worked here before. I did do a magazine shoot in Denmark, but I was too busy to have fun."
Qi Xingchen then realized what Liu Ziyu meant - he was mocking him in a roundabout way.
He came to "Poor Traveler" to get close to the lead actor and actress, and he didn't want to care about the other guests. But Liu Ziyu has been picking fights one after another, and if he doesn't fight back, he's afraid it's going to be endless.
"Get out of the way."
Qi Xingchen was just about to say something back when a cool voice came from behind him. Bai Ye came back from his morning run at some point, stood behind him, and said to Liu Ziyu, "You took my seat."
"...... Oh, sorry I wasn't paying attention." Liu Ziyu smiles awkwardly and gets up to string to the opposite stool.
As the guarantor of hits for the fourth season of Poor Man's Travels, Bai Ye has his own set bit, where the camera is directly in front of him. This ensures the most footage in post editing, even though he doesn't talk much.
Just now Liu Ziyu sat on her butt here because the fixed camera was facing this way, and she wanted to rub a few more shots, but who would have thought that Bai Ye would actually drive her away.
Where she couldn't get a shot under the table, she clenched her fists so hard her long nails barely poked her palms.
.
At 10:00 a.m. Danish time, the crowd deposited their bags at the front desk and set off for Andersen's Cemetery.
As the oldest male, Zhang Yunfei automatically took on the responsibility of being the leader, conveying the choreographer's message: "Denmark is a green country, advocating low-carbon transportation, and the bicycles on the avenue - just the row of bicycles at the end of the alley - are free to use, which saves us money and is environmentally friendly. Let's go for a bike ride, shall we?"
How else could it be? Looking at the big sun in the sky, the guests faked a smile and said, "Of course it's good!"
"It's no fun to just ride, how about PK." Zhang Yunfei proposed again.
"How does it compare?"
"Let's have three boys and three girls, divided into two groups of men and women, and the boys and girls who come in first place will be rewarded with a big meal."
...... The travel fund is so little, the bigger meal can be big to where. The guests spat in their hearts, but they acted quite neatly, and all of them chose a car to their liking.
While waiting for Zhang Yunfei to give the signal, Qi Xingchen took out his headphones, put one in his ear and wrapped the other around the handrail of his bike.
The follow-up assistant wondered, "Xingchen, what are you doing?"
"Give the bike a listen to my Ai Dou's voice, and it will run faster." Qi Xingchen orthochromatically said.
"......" The follow up assistant was speechless.
Rainbow fart level 10 players are so annoying to mess with.
Five minutes later, when everyone was ready, Zhang Yunfei called out, "On your mark--"
Qi Xingchen bends down to get ready, and the assistant following him is silenced.
"Three, two, one, go!"
Qi Xingchen "whooshed" into the next alley!
The camera elder brother and the follow up assistant didn't react for a while, "...... Xingchen, slow down!"
Unfortunately, Xingchen can't slow down. He usually rides a bicycle to and from school and the acrobatic troupe, and over the past ten years, he has practiced this skill to perfection.
And he can ride a unicycle, he can handle a car on one wheel, add a wheel, wouldn't that be a DOUBLE KILL?
Qi Xingchen is riding faster and faster, but he's not at full strength because he's recording the show.
Afraid of the guests drilling alleys, the cameraman and the assistant followers all rode motorized bicycles. Now find themselves a motorized even some can not catch up with the human power, the camera brother shouted at the top of his voice: "Xingchen!"
The director heard it on his monitor, thought something was wrong on the set, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm carrying the machine, I don't dare to drive the electric car too fast, I can't catch up with Qi Xingchen!"
The director was first relieved to hear this, but then he found it quite funny and instructed Qi Xingchen's assistant, who was following the filming, to say, "What's the scene like, take a picture and show me."
The follow up assistant took out her cell phone as instructed and tapped the video button.
Only to see the camera yell again, "Xingchen!"
"Hmm?"
"Wait for me, I can't catch up with you!"
"No, I'm racing."
One is on this side of the street, the other on the other. Qi Xingchen's voice was probably so loud that it startled a flock of pigeons on the corner, and he said, "Sorry," to the pigeons in Danish.
The cameraman couldn't take it and gasped, "Xingchen, this is a program, not a sporting event. If I can't record you, you'll be out of this segment when it airs!"
"It doesn't matter, competition first, program second," Qi Xingchen righteously said, "Brother, you need to work out more."
With that, and a quick acceleration, he ran off again.
"......" The camera looked sad and slapped his head, so he had to keep chasing.
The follow up assistant finished recording and sent this video to the director, the director and assistant director laughed at it and regretted, "This material is quite full of laughs, but it's a pity that it was shot on a cell phone for nothing."
"Not necessarily," said the assistant director, "we don't have any footage to keep the heat on, and it's too costly to have Bai Ye contribute, so we might as well use this."
When the director thought about it, it was really something. Tell the assistant to follow the camera to take another shot of the camera reaching the end of the state, and then notify the post-production master, ready to cut the movie.
The camera was panting in the second half of the ride and Qi Xingchen slowed down a bit. The final result was obvious, he rode fast and chose a short distance, he was the first to arrive.
Finally able to stop the camera big brother soul flying out of the sky, eyes confused, already do not know what is this evening, why this place, the mouth kept muttering.
According to the director's instructions, the follow-up assistant took out his cell phone and asked the camera, "Brother Li, what are you talking about?"
"...... How many sins did I create in my past life that I have to be in this business ....." The cameraman brother wiped a tear of bitterness, "If there is a next life, the laborer will definitely not enter the media industry!"
Qi Xingchen, who forced out the industry's elite by himself, knows nothing about this, as he unwraps the headphones wrapped around his handlebars and keeps showing off to the camera how awesome his Ai Dou sound is. It's all his Ai Dou's fault that the car flew.
Bai Ye, who stood at the entrance of the alley for five minutes, waiting for Qi Xingchen to reach the end of the line before continuing on, looked puzzled.
--Is he really that advanced?
.
On the girls' side, Tao Tao came in first place, and as the winner, Qi Xingchen Tao Tao rightfully won the big meal provided by Zhang Yunfei.
They found a nice-looking restaurant, and after ordering, Qi Xingchen got up to wash his hands.
Pushing open the bathroom door, he was caught off guard to see two familiar faces - the manager and assistant manager of Qijia's wine cellar. Those two had just finished lunch and were chatting in the mirror while organizing their appearance.
"Second Young Master!" At the same time, the other party saw him and rushed up to greet him with surprise and enthusiasm, "What brings you over here?"
At the sound of "Second Young Master", Qi Xingchen puts his finger to his lips, "Shhh, quiet!"
"Ohhhhhh, sorry Second Young Master," the manager lowered his volume, "you're coming over for an inspection?"
Qi Xingchen looked around, fortunately the camera brother was paralyzed with fatigue and didn't follow him all the time, and replied with relief, "No, I'm here to record the program."
After a pause, he said vaguely, "I don't want anyone to know my identity, so from now on, you guys just pretend you've never seen me, don't look at me or talk to me, remember?"
Qi Xingchen in Qi's group does not hold power, but all employees know that the second young master is the eye of the Qi family, is the Qi family up and down in the palm of the hand for fear of falling, in the mouth for fear of melting the treasure.
They did not dare to disobey, and both covered their mouths and pretended to be mute. Qi Xingchen gave them a satisfied look, washed his hands and left.
When the man walked away, the assistant manager disliked the manager with his elbow, "Even though the second young master gave the order, can we really pretend that we haven't seen him before?"
"You've eaten a stupid fucking onion!" The manager reprimanded, "If General Manager Qi knew, he would definitely scold us for not taking good care of the second young master. Let's go, let's see what the second young master ate."
The two tiptoed over to the door and opened one eye to look out. They saw Qi Xingchen and Tao Tao with a cheap set meal in front of them, while the rest of the group was even shabbier, with only one entree in front of each of them.
"...... What kind of crap program is this!" The manager was anxious, "How can you give the second young master this? Go, you call the restaurant owner."
The assistant manager called the owner in response, and the cellar manager whispered something in the owner's ear before slipping him a pile of money, which he nodded happily and uncontrollably.
After riding all morning, everyone was exhausted. After cooperating with the crew to make all the faces of the victors, Qi Xingchen laughed, "Come on, let's all eat together."
Danish food is expensive, and to save money, the rest of the group ordered vegetarian dishes, the kind without any meat stars at all.
Luo Qiuman said, "Is it really possible?"
Qi Xingchen and Tao Tao said yes in unison, so the crowd cheered and started eating.
Halfway through the meal, the restaurant owner and the waiter suddenly walked over to their table with a large tray. The owner coughed lightly, "Ahem, excuse me, may I disturb you for a moment?"
The owner's English wasn't quite authentic, and it took a moment for the guests to respond, "That's okay, what can I do for you?"
"Today is our restaurant's anniversary, and I want to give the most precious dish," the owner gestured to the tray, "to the best looking person in the restaurant."
Everyone thought the boss wanted to ask for an autograph, but they didn't realize that they were actually going to deliver the food, and their eyes went to the tray in unison.
Not to mention, it was indeed quite precious - it was laden with fresh fish roe and various seafood meats, and even two blue lobsters.
The boss is standing next to Liu Ziyu, who analyzes the situation without moving: the boss is a man, so the dishes must be given to women. Among the three women, Luo Qiuman is old and not very attractive; Tao Tao looks pure and does not look like the type that foreigners like; she is the only one who looks beautiful and has an alluring body, so these complimentary dishes should mostly be given to her.
Liu Ziyu sat up straight and pursed the remaining lipstick on her lips, "So the best looking person in the restaurant is at our table ah, thank you for your hospitality, and thank you to the person who traded his looks for a great meal for us."
"You're welcome," the owner bowed gentlemanly and directed the waiter to serve the food, "It's an honor to serve you, Mr. Qi Xingchen."
