Entertainment: I just want to be the boss behind the scenes

Chapter 537: Perfect
"Boss Meng, it's no problem for us to come in, but it may be a bit troublesome to leave. This is a request from above, please bear with me."

At the entrance of the villa, the head of the manor said with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I understand. I won't make things difficult for you." Meng Bai smiled warmly, then glanced at a slender figure standing beside him, turned around and continued, "It's troublesome today."

"Mr. Meng, you're welcome. If you need anything, just contact us."

The person in charge quickly responded, then turned and left with the manor security guards.

"Tsk tsk, this rich man is really awesome. Even when he is at home for quarantine, he still has a beautiful girl who comes to accompany him."

After walking away and making sure that the other party couldn't hear him talking, the security guy sighed with envy.

The person in charge next to him had an expression that said, "Young people really haven't seen the world." "That's nothing. Look at the owner of Courtyard No. 7. Every time he comes here, he has at least two women around him. He also invites a bunch of people to party at any time, and they have a lot of fun. In comparison, this Mr. Meng is much more low-key."

"Hey, Brother Liu, I think this Mr. Meng seems to be the boss of a film and television company. Could the person who just came here be a celebrity? Tsk tsk, it's a pity that he was wrapped up tightly with a mask, sunglasses and a hat, and I couldn't recognize who he was."

"Don't think about it!" The person in charge, Brother Liu, reprimanded in a low voice, "If you still want to work here, no matter what you hear or see, just pretend you don't know."

"Don't worry, Brother Liu, I was just saying it casually. I know the rules. It's hard to find a good job these days, and I plan to work for two more years." The security guy sighed as he walked away: "Alas, I don't know how long the closure will last this time. I hope it will be over soon."

the other side.

Seeing the outsider leave, the woman who had been standing by silently suddenly changed her temperament. She poked her head out of the door with a strong sense of stealth, then raised her hand to take off the sunglasses and mask on her face, revealing Yang Chaoyue's delicate little face.

"boss!"

She let go of the suitcase in her hand, jumped to Meng Bai, and grabbed his arm: "Thank you for taking me in! Otherwise I would be homeless..."

"Oh, stop doing this."

Meng Bai snorted and laughed: "Why didn't you go with your mother and sister?"

Yang Chaoyue wrinkled her face and said, "My mother's uncle happened to come to visit my sister recently, and they were sealed together this time. If I go to live there, it feels a bit inconvenient."

It took Meng Bai a moment to realize that "uncle from my mother's side" should be referring to the man her mother found after her divorce, and who was also her sister's biological father.

Yang Chaoyue wanted her half-sister to study hard, so she brought her to Shanghai to go to school, and her mother Yang also came to take care of her.

As for the "stepfather", he usually works in Jiaxing. Anyway, it is close to Shanghai and it takes less than an hour to get there by high-speed rail.

This time it happened to be the weekend, and the "stepfather" came to visit his little daughter, but it happened to be blocked.

Yang Chaoyue could have gone back if she wanted to, after all, the prevention and control measures only prevented her from going out. But she was not very familiar with this "stepfather", and it would definitely be inconvenient to live together, so she did not choose to go.

"Where are the assistants in your team?"

"Oh, they live in a hotel."

"There's a hotel where you say you're 'homeless'?"

"Boss, can you bear to see me living alone in a hotel..."

As Yang Chaoyue spoke, she pouting her lips, blinking her eyes, and looking at Meng Bai pitifully.

Even the most hard-hearted person would soften after being treated like this, not to mention that Meng Bai was just talking.

"Okay, stop pretending to be pitiful and come in with me."

He dragged the suitcase and walked in with the girl.

Looking at the figure in front of him, Yang Chaoyue smiled with a look of success.

Fortunately, I was attending an event in Shanghai recently, and when I heard the news that prevention and control measures might be needed, I immediately ran over.

Although I don’t know how long the closure will last, based on previous experience, it will be at least a week.

It makes me happy just thinking about the sweet time my boss and I spend together for a week.

But soon, her mood changed from "hehe" to "not hehe".

"Why are you here?"

Looking at Bai Lu who just came down the stairs, Yang Chaoyue's originally cheerful face instantly tensed up. Then she looked at the other person who was only wearing a loose white shirt, revealing two white and tender long legs, and looked like she was very familiar with this place, which made her frown even more.

Bai Lu, who had been the first to speak, felt guilty for a moment when she heard the other party's question. But then, she suddenly reacted.

That's not right. If it was Li Qin or Li Yitong who saw me saying this, it would be understandable. But what qualifications do you, Yang Chaoyue, have to question me like this?
Thinking of this, Bai Lu straightened her back again, stood on the steps, and said condescendingly like a hostess: "You can come, why can't I be here?"

"I came here because I had a trip in Shanghai, and I happened to catch up with the prevention and control and had nowhere to go, so I came here to seek shelter from my boss."

"Haha, how refreshing! I invited the boss to dinner to express my gratitude, but I just happened to be locked up here."

"Haha, do you need to come to my house to thank me for a meal? You clearly did it on purpose!"

"I cooked for you myself to express my sincere gratitude, so what? Besides, isn't it the same for you? There are so many hotels in Shanghai, and you, an artist, say you have no place to stay. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"You are ridiculous..."

The two girls started quarreling across the stair railing, their eyes crossed and converged in mid-air, both wishing they could smash each other to pieces.

Meng Bai, who was standing by, saw that if they continued to argue, they would probably fight, so he quickly walked between the two of them to cut off their line of sight: "Okay, stop arguing. We should stay here for the next few days. It will be more lively with more people."

"..." "..."

Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue looked at Meng Bai speechlessly. You call this situation lively?

However, neither of them wanted to show that they were cursing in front of the boss, so they snorted at each other and didn't continue the argument.

After resolving the first dispute, Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief, but the second problem soon followed - how to allocate the rooms?

This villa has three floors above ground and one floor underground, and each of the three floors has two bedrooms.

Meng Bai usually lives on the second floor, which is more comfortable than the first floor and more convenient than the third floor. The most important thing is that there is a terrace on the second floor, where he can be alone for a while to sort out his thoughts after getting up in the morning.

Bai Lu has been sleeping with him these two days, but now that Yang Chaoyue is coming, they have to consider how to divide the room.

The most ideal situation is naturally for the three of them to live together. Meng Bai is very supportive of this plan. However, looking at the atmosphere between the two girls, it is probably difficult to get them to agree.

Come to think of it, the girl has her own self-esteem. If she is slept with alone, she can still make excuses for herself by saying that "the boss is a jerk and I was just cheated", but if two people are together, then this lie is a bit untenable.

Meng Bai touched his chin and looked at the two girls who were "giving way" to each other and hoping that the other would live alone.

It seems I still have to figure out a solution myself.

"Why don't you two share a room?"

Meng Bai interrupted them: "Weren't you roommates when we were recording "Taohuawu" last year? It seemed like you two were getting along quite well at that time!"

"No!" X2
After hearing Meng Bai's words, they both rejected the proposal in unison.

There was nothing she could do before because she was in front of the camera. Now that there are no cameras, who would want to live with her?

"Then there's no other choice. You two can only live on the third floor. There's just enough space for one room each." Meng Bai spread his hands.

Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue were stunned for a moment, then glared at each other silently, muttering in their hearts: "It's all your fault, now it's okay!"

After the rooms were temporarily allocated, the two girls took their belongings upstairs. By the time they were done, it was almost evening.

Because there are infected people inside the manor, the domestic staff have been in isolation for the past two days awaiting test results, so they have to make their own food today.

Compared to the half-cooked Bailu, Yang Chaoyue's cooking skills are quite proficient. When her parents just divorced, she lived with her father. In order to take care of her father who worked during the day, she learned to cook for herself when she was very young.

Although I have given up cooking in the past few years since my debut, I still cook occasionally, so I have maintained a good level of proficiency.

Seeing Yang Chaoyue skillfully handling the ingredients with a knife, Meng Bai watched from the side and praised her loudly, with a proud look on the girl's face.

Bai Lu was filled with envy and jealousy as she watched from the side, but she had no choice but to swallow her anger as her cooking skills were really poor.

Although there is one more person in the villa, there is enough food in the freezer, and the staff of the manor are always there to deliver food when needed, so there is no need to be too frugal.

The efficiency of the skilled worker was very high. In just over an hour, Yang Chaoyue had prepared six dishes by herself.

The two girls brought the dishes to the table, then sat down across the table, only to notice that Meng Bai was missing.

But before they got up to look for him, they saw him coming up from the basement stairs with two bottles of red wine in his hands.

"No matter what, it's fate that we can get together under such circumstances. Today is the first day, let's have a drink to commemorate it."

Meng Bai looked at the two girls on his left and right, and said with a smile: "I remember Chaoyue can't drink much, so just drink less. Xiaobai and I can drink a few more glasses."

After hearing this, Bai Lu, who had been listless for a long time, suddenly became energetic. She raised her head and glanced at Yang Chaoyue, who was standing opposite her. She deliberately took a small cup and handed it to him: "Since Chaoyue can't drink it, then use this cup, hehe."

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but her tone made Yang Chaoyue unhappy.

"No, just give me a normal cup! The boss just said that today is a memorable day. I can't work tomorrow anyway, so it doesn't matter if I drink a little more."

"Tsk, you're showing off!"

Bai Lu muttered something, but didn't indulge her. She immediately took out a large cup of standard capacity and handed it over.

Seeing that the two girls' glasses were filled with wine, Meng Bai showed a barely perceptible smile, and then raised the wine glass: "Here, the first glass, to toast our rare meeting."

After saying that, let’s toast first.

Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue looked at each other, neither of them wanted to be outdone by the other, so they both drank a full glass of red wine, and then quickly grabbed the water glass beside them and took a few gulps.

During the next meal, Meng Bai calmly drank several cups with the two girls. Gradually, their eyes became blurry and their faces flushed.

At this point, there was no need for Meng Bai to instigate the two of them, and they started to argue with each other. It didn't take long before both bottles of red wine were finished.

Looking at the drunken Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue, Meng Bai finally laughed.

There was nothing mixed in the wine, so Mr. Meng didn't need to resort to such means. It was just that compared to the ordinary red wine on the market, the one he took out was bought from a private winery, which tasted better and had a higher alcohol content.

Seeing the two girls who were not quite sober, Meng Bai had no intention of continuing to eat. He simply carried them back to the bedroom, one in each hand, and placed them side by side on the bed.

In fact, Bai Lu and Yang Chaoyue were not completely drunk, and they had some awareness of the current situation. It was just that they had no strength to move, so they could only let him do what he wanted.

Reaching out his arms to embrace the two girls, Meng Bai sighed: It feels so good to have the best of both worlds!
