This man knows how to hype

Chapter 175 Ribbon Cutting
Some people are not very old.

But once you open your mouth, you'll feel very comfortable.

Just like Ke Mingcheng’s newly hired assistant.

She was wearing a white OL suit and was squatting on the ground, greeting Ke Mingcheng's younger brother in a gentle tone.

But his brother clearly had no manners.

The assistant greeted him so warmly, but he actually jumped up and down and spit at the other person.

However, perhaps because he did such ridiculous things too often, his vomiting was a little weak, and he failed to vomit on his assistant's face as planned.

This made him, who was originally pretending to be tough, soften instantly.

The assistant was good-tempered. Seeing that he had given in, he didn't care about his impoliteness and patiently helped him wipe it with a wet wipe.

It was at this time that Ke Mingcheng couldn't help but fall into philosophical thinking.

what is the meaning of life?
where am i from?
Where to go from here?
Just when Ke Mingcheng couldn't figure it out, his cell phone rang. He looked at the three words "Ke Xinying" on the screen.

He glanced directly at the assistant and motioned her to go out.

The assistant was naturally obedient and walked out while wiping his mouth.

After the door slammed shut, Ke Mingcheng put on a smile and answered the phone cheerfully, "Yingying, how are you thinking about the ribbon-cutting ceremony?"

"It's not that I'm refusing, I really don't have time. Especially my boyfriend. He has so much work to do now, and he has several evening parties to attend. We haven't seen each other for ten days." Ke Xinying's cold voice came from the receiver.

Ke Mingcheng contacted her yesterday and said that a real estate project was opening at his home and he wanted Ke Xinying and Xu Xiyu to come and cut the ribbon.

Ke Xinying has not told Xu Xiyu about this matter yet.

Because she didn't want to come at all.

Ke Mingcheng naturally guessed that she didn't want to come, so after being rejected, he still said in a gentle tone: "It's only one morning. After all, it's your own property, and you also have a stake in the group..."

"Don't tell me these things. I have never received any dividends from my shares. I have no right to interfere in the affairs of your group." Ke Xinying interrupted directly.

"I haven't received any dividends either." Ke Mingcheng said with a smile.

Without waiting for Ke Xinying's reply, he continued, "Actually, cutting the ribbon is secondary. The main thing is that dad and I both want to meet your boyfriend."

"What? Are you planning to show off your status as a father-in-law and brother-in-law in front of my boyfriend?" Ke Xinying sneered without any concealment.

"We love and care for your boyfriend, so why would we act so arrogantly? Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes, your brother?"

"Yes."

"..." Ke Mingcheng almost wanted to slap himself when he heard this answer without hesitation. Why did he have to say that last sentence? He was just asking for trouble.

However, he quickly adjusted his tone and said, "Yingying, speak calmly, you are the only girl in our family, and now that you have a boyfriend, it is normal for Dad to want to meet him.

Yes, he did a lot of things wrong in the past, but so many years have passed, and I don’t expect you to let go of everything.

But sometimes, you have to give him a little face. He is old and in poor health. You are a public figure, so you should consider the impact. "

Hearing these words, Ke Xinying was silent. After a long while, she said, "Wait for me to think about it."

"Okay, you think about it again, but I still hope to see you the day after tomorrow morning." Ke Mingcheng did not force him.

The two of them had nothing more to say, so they hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ke Xinying stood in her office, looking out the window with some annoyance.

Her family situation is complicated.

It was so complicated that she felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

She didn't know how long she watched, then she took out her cell phone and called Xu Xiyu.

"Are you free the day after tomorrow morning?" she asked directly after the call was connected.

"The day after tomorrow morning? What's the matter?" Xu Xiyu didn't say whether he was free or not, because normally, he was not free. But if he had to make adjustments, he could make time for it.

Hearing this, Ke Xinying took a few deep breaths before she spoke: "Kerting's new building is opening, and they want us to go over and cut the ribbon."

"Okay, no problem." Xu Xiyu agreed directly after hearing this, and then asked, "Will your father be there?"

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, he and his wife will be here. As for whether their children are here, I don't know." When Ke Xinying said this, she felt annoyed again.

"So what does your dad like? It's your first visit, so you have to bring some gifts, right?"

"No need to bring a gift." Ke Xinying refused without any hesitation, but after refusing, she felt that she had to save Xu Xiyu's face.

Going empty-handed would make Xu Xiyu seem impolite. So she added, "I'll just prepare the gift."

"There's no point in asking you to prepare a gift. I'll just buy something casually."

Hearing this, Ke Xinying didn't say anything more, but lowered her eyes and asked something else: "When will you return to Beijing? I...I miss you."

"Tomorrow, I'll go back tomorrow night." Xu Xiyu said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." When she heard that he would be back tomorrow, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ke Xinying's eyes.

It was a week ago that "Egg Diary" was uploaded. The two of them were separated for two or three days before uploading it.

So, just like what Ke Xinying and Ke Mingcheng said on the phone just now. She and Xu Xiyu haven't seen each other for 10 days in total, and both of them are busy with some announcements.

This is the norm for celebrity couples, especially famous ones. It is impossible for them to stay together every day.

Of course, there were people who wanted to invite them to attend some announcement.

But the experience summed up by many predecessors in the entertainment industry tells them.

Whether you are a couple or a married couple, except for programs like "Love Travel", try not to work together too much.

Because the results of doing so are often not very good.

First of all, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme. If there are too many couples being paired together, the audience will get tired of it. Only the occasional sweet moment can make people excited.

Secondly, and most importantly, too many bundles can easily compress your career path.

If you always appear in the same frame, you won’t be able to work independently in the future. This is because the audience, brands, and investors will form habits, and it is easy to form path dependence.

Previously, the two of them were thinking about working on the same project together, but that was because they hadn't officially announced it yet. Now that they are a couple and the audience has accepted it, it's better for them to work separately.

When she thought of this, Ke Xinying's already bad mood became even worse.

She was very upset about family matters and really wanted to see Xu Xiyu, but since she was a veteran in the circle, she didn't get angry about it.

After chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

At the same time, in a car on the street in Changsha, looking at the hung up phone, Xu Xiyu thought for a long time.

Finally, he turned to Qiao Shuangshuang beside him and said, "Please postpone the dinner tonight for me. Just tell them that I agreed to it and you don't have to eat. Also, postpone your activities tomorrow and the day after tomorrow morning. Book your tickets and go back to Beijing."

"Okay." Qiao Shuangshuang didn't ask why.

After making this decision, he sent a WeChat message directly to Ke Xinying.

At this moment, Ke Xinying looked at the message on the screen: "I just booked a ticket and will be back tonight." Her originally gloomy face now showed a hint of brightness.

Time passed by minute by minute.

At 11 o'clock that night, Xu Xiyu arrived home.

At 12 o'clock, after a lot of trouble, the two of them washed up and lay down on the bed.

Xu Xiyu could see that Ke Xinying was in a bad mood, so he kept telling her about his experiences in the past few days to cheer her up.

Ke Xinying was indeed amused.

But as she laughed, she started crying again.

After crying for a while, she suddenly asked, "Do you know why I had to cling to Hu Ningtian before?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu shook his head and said nothing, waiting for Ke Xinying's next words.

Ke Xinying wiped away her tears and said, "Actually, this has something to do with my family."

"There's a problem with the family business, so you hope Hu Ningtian can help you?" Xu Xiyu guessed instinctively.

Who knew that when Ke Xinying heard this, she suddenly sneered: "Whether they live or die is none of my business."

This sneer made Xu Xiyu stunned.

Having known Ke Xinying for such a long time, this was the first time he saw her with this expression.

Before I could open my mouth, I heard her calmly say, "You know my parents are divorced. They divorced when I was 12 years old, but their relationship was not very good before that. My father raised several children outside."

When Xu Xiyu heard this, a hint of embarrassment inexplicably appeared on his face.

Ke Xinying didn't notice his embarrassment, but looked at the ceiling and continued, "What a coincidence, my mother also raised a child outside."
