Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 173 Chen Nuo is here for barbecue!
It is almost eight o'clock now. In early summer, the peak season for late-night snacks has begun. In Hengdian, the nightlife is even more lively.

This barbecue restaurant named Heshi BBQ is doing very good business. From the store entrance to the street, it is filled with tables and most of the people are seated.

In a corner of the barbecue restaurant, He Yong listened to Zhang Xinyu's words, pondered for a moment, and said directly: "You all know what kind of person I am, Old He, so I will be frank. Today, if anyone of you is willing to sleep with him, I promise that within a month, she will be included in three groups, and she will have lines."

The girls didn't speak for a while, but none of them looked unusual.

Just as He Yong said, he doesn't like women, so he speaks directly like this, without beating around the bush. We are all adults now, so we can be more open-minded.

Wan Tingting asked: "What about this time?"

He Yong laughed and said, "Do I need to tell you this time? By then, maybe you won't need me anymore, right?"

Another long-haired girl asked again, "He Tou, are you really the assistant director of The Wind?"

He Yong frowned, a little unhappy, "There's no need to say these words, right? If you don't believe me, you can leave now."

There were several girls, and none of them left the bench.

Zhang Xinyu asked seriously, "He Tou, is it possible that this character will really show up in The Wind and have lines?"

He Yong obviously attached more importance to Zhang Xinyu. He slowed down his speech and said, "I can't guarantee this. After all, no one knows how the director will edit the film in the end. If I were to promise you anything, I would be lying to you. Unless you climb into Chen Nuo's bed tonight, then I can guarantee that there will be a two-second shot of you in the movie."

When he said this last sentence, several girls laughed a little shyly.

Zhang Xinyu made a snort and said, "I'm about to do that with Chen Nuo, and it's only for two seconds? How bad can my sex skills be!"

Wan Tingting was drinking water, and when she heard her words, the water splashed onto the ground.

"Hahahahaha."

At this moment, everyone, including He Yong, couldn't help but burst into laughter. The corner of the barbecue hall on the first floor was filled with a joyful atmosphere for a while.

After a while of laughing, He Yong glanced at Zhao Liying. This girl was not as sexy as Zhang Xinyu, not as long-legged and big-breasted as Wan Tingting, and not as pretty as Zhang Qing. She was not outstanding, but she was unique in her cuteness and purity.

What if the next VIP guest likes this?

So He Yong still asked with concern: "Xiao Zhao, what do you think? Is there any problem?"

Zhao Liying hesitated for a moment and said, "Hetou, if I don't sleep with you, is there a chance?"

He Yong pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a fake smile: "Of course. Again, what is your relationship with Chen Nuo? Do you know each other? Have you been to his house? Have you eaten together? Have you helped him sweep the floor, made the bed, and even acted in a play together, huh?"

Zhao Liying naturally heard the strong sarcasm in He Yong's words, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

He Yong said, "No, right? Then do you know how many men and women go to Qiuzhuang in Hengdian every day to wait for work? They are almost around the lake, right? Xiao Zhao, you have been in Hengdian for more than a year, right?"

Zhao Liying nodded silently.

If it were a year ago, she would either cry or leave, but after staying in Hengdian for so long, her heart has become countless times tougher than before.

Compared to the dirty words I had heard before, He Yong's sarcasm was nothing.

He Yong continued, "Actually, it's not just Xiao Zhao. Among the few of you, only Xinyu has been here not long ago. Some of the others have been here for more than a year like Xiao Zhao, and some have been here for two years. And Xiao Zhang, it seems like you have been here for almost three years, right?"

The short-haired girl sitting opposite Zhao Liying hummed.

Zhao Liying actually felt that she was the prettiest among the five girls, with very delicate features and fair skin, and no flaws could be found under the lights, which made Zhao Liying even feel a little ashamed of herself.

I didn't expect that such a beautiful girl, who has been in Hengdian for more than three years, is still playing supporting roles like her.

"Why can't you make a name for yourself? It's not that you're not good enough. Let's not talk about Zhou Xun and Fan Binbing. Let's just talk about those second- and third-tier stars like Chen Hao and Gao Yuanyuan. How much better are they than you? In my opinion, they're not even a dime!"

"Then why does she get to act in so many movies? Even Gao Yuanyuan beat Fan Binbing last year and snatched the leading role in Zhang Yiyi's new play? Why? Let me tell you, it's because she dared to take risks! She seized the opportunity at the critical moment."

After he finished speaking, the expressions of several women changed slightly.

Seeing this, He Yong continued, "I dare say this is your best chance in at least the next five years. Think about it, if you get to perform with Chen Nuo and Jiang Wen, you can go online and take a screenshot and put it in your resume... I can't guarantee anything else, but at least you will be able to film scenes all year round. If you're filming a minor role now, you'll get a special role in the future. For someone like Xinyu who can get a special role now, by then, she won't be the third or fourth female lead, and she won't even be interested in a glance."

"Okay, that's all I have to say. When Director Gu comes, if any of you are willing, just give me a look."

After that, they didn't talk much at the table, and it seemed that each of them was thinking about their own things.

Zhao Liying found herself wavering.

Or maybe, it didn't start tonight, but she had had this idea in her mind for some time.

It was dark and she had no idea when she would be able to get out of this situation. She had lived this kind of life for a year and she was really fed up with it.

Zhao Liying felt that as long as she was given a little hope, even if it was five or ten years, as long as she could see a glimmer of hope, she would be able to persevere no matter how hard or tiring the journey was.

But now, where is the light?

Even during the day, it is like a pitch-dark night.

As she walked there, how could she not feel panic, hesitation, and even doubt whether she had stepped into a forbidden place?
Turn back?
Go back to your hometown, find a job peacefully and honestly, and let all your dreams and goals die in a certain spring.

After a year or two, find a man, get married and have children, isn't that also a lifetime?

This thought had appeared in her mind a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand times before. She had packed her luggage and bought a train ticket back home three times.

But every time I would cancel the tickets at the last minute and stay.

Even at the beginning, she didn't get any role for three whole months.

In fact, she admires herself for being able to hold on until now.

The point that shook her the most in He Yong’s words just now was about the girl who had been there for three years.

Zhao Liying didn’t know if she could survive for three years, she felt that she couldn’t.

If this is the case, and she is not planning to return home, what other options does she have?
Isn’t it like He Tou said, this is her best chance in the next five to ten years?

More than thirty minutes later, He Yong, who had gone out specially to greet them, walked into the barbecue restaurant with a man in his forties.

The man was holding a briefcase and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. His face was covered with many scars, and he had thin eyebrows and small eyes, with more white than black in his eyes. He looked very uncomfortable.

When He Yong came over with him, several girls stood up.

He Yong introduced them one by one. Zhao Liying didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the man's eyes stayed on her for a few seconds longer.

After sitting down, Zhao Liying found that it was not an illusion. Director Gu's eyes were really lingering on her, like hooks, making her feel like ants were crawling all over her body and making her feel restless.

Zhang Xinyu raised her glass, put her behind her and said, "Director Gu, come, I'll toast you." Then she drank it all in one gulp.

Director Gu chuckled, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and didn't say anything to her. He turned his head and said to He Yong, "Old He, we have been friends for a long time. To be honest, I can't make the decision this time. I can only follow your arrangements."

He Yong smiled and said, "Director Gu, I was thinking that we haven't seen each other for a long time. You are usually very busy, and it's rare that you have time today. I don't mean anything else by coming out for a simple meal. Don't think too much."

"Come on, all of you, toast to Director Gu one by one. You don't know how much Director Li Shaohong valued Director Gu when they were filming The Story of the Ming Palace. Today, it has even gone a step further. For a movie like The Message with a 100 million investment, the casting power has been given to Director Gu. Why don't you have a few more drinks with Director Gu?"

Didn’t Brother Mingming also act in The Song of the Ming Palace? I wonder if the two of them know each other.

Zhao Liying thought about it and couldn't help asking when she toasted.

Director Gu laughed and said, "Su Mingming? I have an impression of her. How come you know her?"

Zhao Liying nodded.

Director Gu laughed and said, "My little beauty, this guy has a problem with his brain. You'd better stay away from him. When he entered this circle, he told me what to do and what not to do. I'm not going to give a shit about him. What's the result now? He went back to his hometown in disgrace, while I'm still in Hengdian and doing well. Don't you think so? Lao He."

He Yong raised his glass and clinked it with his, "That's right, Director Gu's vision and ability are not comparable to those of ordinary people."

Afterwards, under everyone's compliments, Director Gu gradually relaxed, and after three rounds of drinks, his hands and feet began to move a little.

With one hand holding Wan Tingting, he drank wine from the cup with the beautiful lady named Zhang with the other hand, his eyes were constantly on Zhao Liying.

Zhao Liying felt like sitting on pins and needles.

I had to make an excuse to go to the bathroom.

As a result, as soon as she came out of the bathroom, He Yong was waiting for her at the door.

Zhao Liying hesitated for a moment and said, "Hetou, what do you want to talk to me about?"

He Yong smiled and said, "Don't you already know? Xiao Zhao, you are also a smart person. I don't believe you didn't understand what Gu Dao meant."

Zhao Liying said, "Oh," and said, "Hetou, I'm sorry. I thought about it and decided to forget it."

He Yong frowned and asked, "Xiao Zhao, just name your terms. To be honest, this is a big deal, and I'm fully prepared. I can accept any price. Just name a price, whether it's money or something else, we can negotiate."

Zhao Liying shook her head and said, "Really not. He Tou."

He Yong smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, don't jump to conclusions. Director Gu just told me secretly that among these women, he really likes you. As for you, it's a bit unreasonable to be so disrespectful, right? Well, tell me the reason first. Is it because the money is not enough? Or is it because your brother doesn't give you enough opportunities?"

If we say that half an hour ago, Zhao Liying was indeed shaken and wanted to risk it a little bit.

But when I heard Director Gu say that about Su Mingming...

She almost wanted to slap the man twice.

Still want me to sleep with you?

I'll accompany you motherfucker.

Do you really think that I, Zhao Liying, can't curse?
Zhao Liying endured it again and again, and didn't curse out loud. She shook her head firmly and said, "It's really not possible. I'm sorry."

He Yong's face was not looking good, and he said, "Xiao Zhao, you didn't understand what I just said, right? I have prepared so much, do you think I have prepared all the good results? For today's matter. If you agree, you will be my real sister in the future. I promise that within three years, you will be able to play a real role in the play."

Zhao Liying is a person with a gentle appearance but strong heart. At this moment, facing the threat, she thinks more clearly.

Although those months were hard and tiring, and although she was often booed while singing on stage, they were truly the most precious memories of her life.

She put on the costumes that Zhou Xun had once worn, walked onto the stages, and the attention she received was what she would use to soothe her cold heart at night.

Several members of Mingming Song and Dance Troupe.

The drinking captain Su Mingming, the rough-looking but shy Xiao Si, and the quiet but smart clown Wang Xiang are all her warmest friends.

Come to think of it, she had helped Wang Xiang clean the house before. This was the first time in her life that she had done this for a boy.

Humph, I don’t know what that guy is doing now, or whether he still remembers these things.

It seemed like that guy didn't even say thank you to her until the very end!

It's so heartless.

I don’t know what kind of person he is?

Because until the end, he hadn't been able to let her see his true face.

Thinking of these beautiful people and things, Zhao Liying couldn't help but smile. Then she returned to reality and faced the ugly man, saying word by word: "Hetou, this is really not possible."

He Yong looked at her for a few seconds, and suddenly the iceberg melted, he laughed and said, "Okay, seeing that you are so determined, Xiao Zhao, I won't force you. But you have to help me finish the wine today, is that okay?"

Zhao Liying thought about it and nodded, "Okay."

Back at the table, Director Gu saw He Yong's expression and seemed to have realized something. He whispered something to He Yong and his face suddenly became gloomy.

He said to Zhao Liying in a veiled tone, "It seems that you really know Su Mingming. So, is that idiot Su Mingming your relative?"

Zhao Liying said expressionlessly: "I used to work in Su Tuan's group."

Director Gu said coldly: "No wonder, I can see that they all think of themselves as pure and innocent saints."

Wan Tingting sneered at Zhao Liying and raised her glass, saying, "Director Gu, come, I'll toast you a glass. Don't let someone spoil your fun."

Director Gu frowned and drank the wine.

By 11 o'clock, Director Gu was already drunk.

He put his arm around Wan Tingting's shoulders, glanced at Zhao Liying, and started swearing in a foul manner.

"Tingting, don't worry. I will definitely choose a good role for you this time. Some bitches are really ungrateful. I want to see how she survives in Hengdian in the future. Lao He, did you hear me? If you let me see her again in the future, our friendship will be over."

He Yong quickly said, "Yes, yes, how about I make some arrangements now and let Xiao Zhao and the others go first?"

Director Gu looked at Zhao Liying with an extremely vicious look in his eyes and said lightly, "No, just let her sit here. Let me see if there are diamonds underneath. Is it so precious?"

This sentence was so vulgar that Zhao Liying was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Xinyu slammed the table and said, "Director Gu, you are wearing glasses and you are well-educated. How can you say that to a girl? Xiaoying, let's go. I won't serve such a person anymore. Bye, Hetou."

After saying that, she took Zhao Liying's hand and left.

Director Gu stood up and rushed over to grab Zhang Xinyu's hand, and cursed with a drunken smell: "You are also a stinky bitch. Did I let you go? Do you know who I am?"

Zhang Xinyu screamed, "Let go, or I'll call the police." He Yong rushed over and advised, "Director Gu, ignore them. Come on, let's continue drinking. Xiao Wan and Xiao Zhang, why don't you help Director Gu sit down?"

Director Gu was really drunk and didn't listen at all. He still held Zhang Xinyu tightly.

The scene suddenly became extremely chaotic, and the other guests in the hall all looked over.

Just then, there was a sudden loud noise outside the door.

It seemed to be sent by those people who were eating barbecue on the street.

A lot of women were screaming, and it seemed like a lot of them were saying fuck.

The huge sound instantly drowned out the noise in the store on the first floor, and also stunned Zhao Liying, Zhang Xinyu, Director Gu, He Yong and others who were arguing, not knowing what was going on.

They knew it immediately.

At first, a few foreigners came in, and then four or five familiar-looking men came in. A girl in the store pointed at one of the sloppy men and shouted, "Dark-skinned!"

Zhao Liying also recognized him. It was the black man in the crazy stone.

Another man called out, "Yuan Lang!"

Yuan Lang in Soldiers Assault? Zhao Liying also watched this drama some time ago and knew that this person was called Duan Yihong.

Currently in The Sound of Wind!

Zhao Liying's mind was still full of thoughts, but this was in Hengdian after all, and many people's reactions were faster than hers.

All the guests at the door stood up, looking excited and eagerly waiting.

All the waiters in the barbecue restaurant rushed to the door, including several foreman managers of the barbecue restaurant. They all rushed over and led the first batch of sudden guests to the private rooms upstairs, and then immediately ran to the door to wait for the follow-up.

Then two women came in.

This time, there were very few people I didn’t know.

"Liu Yifei!"

"Fan Binbing!"

"Oh my god, they are so beautiful!"

"Oh my god, it's really Liu Yifei and Fan Binbing!"

The store suddenly became extremely chaotic. No one could sit quietly at the table to eat. Everyone stood up.

No matter who these two women are, they have been famous for more than a year or two and are already accustomed to this kind of scene.

Although Liu Yifei has been a little bit down recently, when she just played Zhao Linger and Xiaolongnu, she was very popular and attracted a lot of people.

So the two people's expressions were very natural and they were still chatting with each other.

Hearing the calls of the customers in the store, he waved with a smile.

This immediately caused a surprise response.

"Fan Binbing, you are so beautiful!"

"Liu Yifei, I really like your Little Dragon Girl!"

"Fan Binbing, your skin is so good."

"Liu Yifei! I love you."

Perhaps because they were afraid of causing confusion, the two girls did not do anything else this time. Together with their assistants, they went upstairs under the guidance of the waiter.

Director Gu had already disappeared by this time, and Zhao Liying had no recollection of what had happened before.

She and Zhang Xinyu looked at each other.

Zhang Xinyu's lips moved slightly, and she murmured, "No way, no way?"

Zhao Liying knew that she didn't know anything.

As for Nuomi, even though she had been rejected by the company, she was still devoted to the job and always said that the gay manager did not know how to judge people.

At this moment, there was a thunderous roar outside the store, and almost everyone on the street came over.

Zhao Liying felt her arm tighten as she was grabbed by Zhang Xinyu.

"It's really here!"

Yes, when Zhao Liying saw Jiang Wen and a young man walking in while chatting and laughing with each other, although she was not only not a glutinous rice, she even silently labeled the other person as an enemy, so much so that Wan Tingting used this person to make her angry.

However, when she saw this person walking past her less than five meters away, Zhao Liying found that she was also very excited.

Did he really come to have a barbecue?

Zhao Liying could hardly believe it! Is this something a big star would do?

Moreover, it seems that he has called the entire crew over?

There is no need to wonder why Zhao Liying was so surprised, because in 2007, when Weibo had not yet been born, celebrities and ordinary people seemed to live in two different worlds.

It is extremely difficult to see each other the same way in daily life.

It’s almost the same even in Hengdian.

"Chen Nuo!" Zhang Xinyu called out.

But there were so many men and women with this name in the store that they formed a magical sound, and her voice blended into it and was not noticeable at all.

Zhao Liying was even surprised to find that there were more people named Chen Nuo than Jiang Wen.

Well, the reasons are obvious.

Compared to boys, women are generally more easily excited.

The number of Jiang Wen's female fans is obviously not as high as that of a certain idol actor who became famous for starring in costume idol dramas and became popular all over the country.

Wan Tingting and the other two girls had already rushed to the front. Looking at their expressions, it seemed as if they couldn't wait to pounce on Chen Nuo.

Zhao Liying found herself a little crazy. Why did she feel that Chen Nuo was a little shy and timid in front of so many fans at this time? It was as if she had seen Chen Nuo's expression somewhere before.

Maybe it was because Wan Tingting and the others kept calling his name. Zhao Liying noticed that while Chen Nuo was walking upstairs with Jiang Wen, his eyes inadvertently glanced at her.

After one glance, he turned away.

But immediately, he turned around and looked at her a second time.

There was some surprise in his eyes, and Zhao Liying even felt that he looked as if he saw an acquaintance.

Are these the eyes that film critics boast about every day as being able to tell a story? It really seems like they are telling a story.

Zhao Liying looked back. Well, there was no one behind her. That meant that Chen Nuo's eyes were either looking at Zhang Xinyu or at her.

Excluding myself, the only one left is Zhang Xinyu.

Zhang Xinyu obviously thought so too, and murmured, "Xiaoying, did you see that? It seems that he must have seen the information I submitted to his company. He even remembers it! He just looked at me!"

Seeing how excited she was, Zhao Liying was also very happy for her.

After what happened just now, she really regarded Zhang Xinyu as a true friend and echoed: "Sister Xinyu, since Chen Nuo still remembers you, do you think he will ask you to go upstairs for dinner later?"

Zhang Xinyu chuckled and said, "Xiaoying, stop dreaming. Hey, where's that bastard? Why did he leave? If he hadn't left, he would have dared to stand here and touch me. I really need to ask Chen Nuo what kind of bastards are in his crew."

Zhao Liying recalled what happened just now and said angrily: "The upper beam is crooked, and the lower beam is crooked!"

Zhang Xinyu said angrily: "What does this have to do with our brother Chen Nuo? He is so tired from filming every day, how can he control what these people do?"

Zhao Liying had just come back to her senses from the excitement of meeting her enemy for the first time, and said disdainfully: "He was tired, but he still brought so many people to have a barbecue?"

Chen Nuo was really wronged this time.

He was indeed tired, but he had to bring people to the barbecue because he had to leave the crew tomorrow.

今天已经是7月13号了，他能拖到明天7月14号才回京，《蝙蝠侠2》的宣传已经快把他的手机给打爆了。

He was skipping work, so it was only natural for him to treat everyone to a meal before leaving.

I happened to hear that a restaurant serving authentic Xichuan barbecue had opened here, so after work, I brought everyone here for a midnight snack.

Chen Nuo never expected that he would meet Zhao Liying here.

He knew that the other party was a supporting actor in Hengdian, but he had never thought of interfering in his life before.

After all, being a supporting actor is also a kind of experience. He will succeed sooner or later anyway, so there is no need for him to waste his time.

What's more, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't find the right way, right?

Qi Yuntian came over at this time, got close to him, and whispered, "Do you know Zhang Xinyu?"

Chen Nuo was stunned and asked, "Who?"

Qi Yuntian said: "A female model wanted to sign with our company before, but I rejected her. I saw you looking at her just now, and I thought..."

Only then did Chen Nuo remember that there was indeed a familiar-looking woman standing next to Zhao Liying.

Qi Yuntian looked at his face and said, "Didn't we talk about this the other day? I plan to sign a few more people into the company and keep them for a year or so, so that we can build a talent pool. I think the one named Zhang Xinyu is pretty good, what do you think?"

Chen Nuo pondered for a while and said, "She is indeed good, but the girl next to her is also okay. Why don't you go and ask her, if she is willing, you can sign both of them, how about that?"

This time it was Qi Yuntian's turn to be stunned. "Girl next to her? There's a girl next to Zhang Xinyu?"

Well, for gays, cute girls are really annoying, they only appreciate sexiness and maturity. Because there is no pure gay in the world.

Zhang Xinyu was about to get in a taxi with Zhao Liying when she received Qi Yuntian's call. When she saw the incoming call number on her phone, she was stunned for three seconds before answering in a respectful voice, "Hello, Manager Qi."

Zhao Liying saw Zhang Xinyu making some humming and ahhing noises on the phone for a while, and suddenly screamed "What?" and looked at her with strange eyes.

Finally, what surprised Zhao Liying was that Zhang Xinyu opened her heart and even told her everything about the assistant director. It was obvious that she was complaining to the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Liying couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"

Zhang Xinyu ignored her question, looked at her for a long time, and finally said, "Do you really know Chen Nuo?"

Zhao Liying said with a smile: "Yes, I know him. I am very familiar with him and we even worked together..."

Zhang Xinyu frowned and thought for a long time before she said, "If I didn't know that he was from Xichuan and you were from Hebei, I would have really thought that you two were relatives. Otherwise, why did Manager Qi just ask me to ask you if you wanted to sign with their company? You don't know him! Don't tell me that it's because you're so beautiful that even gays are attracted to you."

Zhao Liying was completely stunned. She stood there in a daze and asked, "Sister Xinyu, are you telling the truth?"

Zhang Xinyu stared at her in silence. After a long while, she suddenly smiled brightly, pulled her and jumped up and down, saying, "Yes, that's right, Xiaoying, we are going to be artists of Chen Nuo's company!"

Zhao Liying was also extremely happy at this time.

What about rejection? This option never even occurred to her mind.

No matter how much she hated Chen Nuo, she knew very well what it meant to sign a contract with his company.

Haven't you heard the rumor everywhere that Chen Nuo is a man of great vision and that his company doesn't keep useless people. As long as you can sign a contract and get in, you will become famous sooner or later?
The two of them were holding hands and jumping up and down to celebrate, when suddenly He Yong and three other girls came over.

He Yong laughed and said, "Xiao Zhao, Xinyu, why are you so happy? What good things happened to you? Hey, I feel so sorry for you. See, that's the crew of The Wind. Isn't it impressive? Xiao Zhao, if you listen to me, you can also go in and mingle. After you come out, your worth will double."

Before Zhao Liying could say anything, Zhang Xinyu smiled very gently and said, "Hetou, where is Director Gu? Why aren't you with him?"

He Yong smiled and said, "Director Gu left first because of something. What do you want to see him about?"

Zhang Xinyu shook her head and said, "It's okay, Hetou, look back and see if that is Director Gu."

When He Yong turned around, he saw Director Gu, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared out of nowhere. He walked past him with sweat all over his forehead while talking on the phone.

"Director Gao, Director Gao, please listen to my explanation... No, I really didn't... No... Director Gao, hello? Hello? Hello! Fuck your ancestors, Gao Qunshu!"

Director Gu's confused and angry voice came into Zhao Liying's ears along with the night wind, and Zhao Liying felt relieved for a moment.

I let you scold me, I let you scold Su Tuan, and you also said that you would make it difficult for me to survive. Now let’s see who is going to be unable to survive!

As a result, my impression of Chen Nuo has improved a lot. After all, Zhang Xinyu's complaint was just five minutes ago, and the result came five minutes later...

Isn't this too observant?
