Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

"There's no doubt about that. Teacher Zeng, what you should be worried about is that Ziqiao is so engrossed in his work that he's forgotten about your business." Su Mingyang's lips curled up.

Zeng Xiao Xian:"……"

A dozen minutes later, Lisa Rong came out, her cheeks flushed, and she regained her usual strong woman demeanor. She glanced at Zeng Xiaoxian and said, "You won't tell anyone about what happened today, will you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian said firmly, "No, of course not. In my heart, my female boss will always be a perfect woman."

"Great! It seems you already possess all the qualities needed for an excellent program host. What more can I say? You're the host for our new program," Lisa Rong declared.

"Really? Isn't there going to be a manager's evaluation?" Zeng Xiaoxian suppressed his excitement and asked.

"Let the boss die! That's it, you come back next week to record the video," Lisa Rong said domineeringly, and then she entered the elevator.

"Lisa, thank you so much!" Zeng Xiaoxian shouted excitedly towards the elevator.

"Teacher Zeng, the person you should thank is Ziqiao," Su Mingyang reminded him.

"Oh right, let's go in and see how Ziqiao is doing." Zeng Xiaoxian realized, and the two of them walked into 3602 together.

However, Lu Ziqiao was nowhere to be seen in the living room. Upon seeing this, the two headed straight for Lu Ziqiao's room.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Lu Ziqiao lying on the bed, looking utterly hopeless, his face covered in lipstick marks.

"Ziqiao, are you alright?" Zeng Xiaoxian asked with concern.

“I…I…she was too cruel…Waaah~” Lu Ziqiao choked up as he spoke.

Zeng Xiaoxian was somewhat surprised to see Lu Ziqiao like this.

"Sigh, it seems Ziqiao has been won over by Lisa Rong." Su Mingyang said with amusement.

Chapter 55 Teacher Zeng, I'll teach you to be a show-off!

　"Teacher Zeng, I was almost torn to pieces by your boss so that you could get on a TV show. Look at me!" Lu Ziqiao cried, pointing to his face covered in lipstick marks.

Zeng Xiaoxian shuddered as he imagined the scene, and said gratefully to Lü Ziqiao, "Ziqiao, thank you for your hard work. Lisa Rong has agreed to let me be the host. To thank you for your efforts, you can make one request, and I will fulfill it as long as I can do it."

"Really? Teacher Zeng?" Lu Ziqiao's face lit up with joy, completely losing his previous dejection. He had been waiting for Zeng Xiaoxian to say this.

"Mm." Zeng Xiaoxian nodded.

Lu Ziqiao thought for a moment, then looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with a hint of expectation: "I still don't have money for next quarter's rent, Teacher Zeng, what do you think..."

"I'll pay you back then," Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile, adding, "You can pay me back whenever you want."

"Haha, that's great!" Lu Ziqiao jumped up from the bed excitedly, completely ignoring Zeng Xiaoxian's last words.

Zeng Xiaoxian turned to Su Mingyang and said, "Mingyang, I'm so glad you gave me that idea. What do you want? I'll grant your wish!"

"Really?" Su Mingyang asked with a smile.

"Of course!"

Seeing Zeng Xiaoxian speak with such certainty, Su Mingyang felt a mischievous urge and said seriously, "In that case, Teacher Zeng, I still don't have money for this year's rent, don't you think?"

"Huh?" Zeng Xiaoxian's face changed drastically upon hearing this, and he almost lost his footing and fell onto the bed.

Lu Ziqiao stared wide-eyed at Su Mingyang, inwardly exclaiming, "Mingyang, you have an even bigger appetite than me!"

"Teacher Zeng, what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Su Mingyang asked knowingly when he saw Zeng Xiaoxian looking constipated.

He was secretly overjoyed: Teacher Zeng, I'll show you how to act tough in front of me.

"Uh, no, no," Zeng Xiaoxian stammered. Then he suddenly realized and asked, "Mingyang, didn't your comics make a lot of money? Why are you still short of rent?"

“Yes.” Lu Ziqiao also seemed a little puzzled.

Su Mingyang stopped teasing the two and laughed, "Haha, just kidding. Teacher Zeng, you can just buy a dozen or so lobsters tonight, and I'll throw a river seafood feast."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully, "No problem!"

"A river seafood feast, sounds delicious! My mouth is watering. Mingyang, remember to call me when you're done cooking." Lu Ziqiao patted Su Mingyang on the shoulder.

"Ha, dream on!" Su Mingyang slapped Lu Ziqiao's hand away and said with dissatisfaction, "If you want to eat, then come and help."

“That’s right, don’t just think about eating and drinking for free,” Zeng Xiaoxian chimed in.

Lu Ziqiao gave a wry smile: "Fine, I'll help, okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

Since none of the three had anything to do at the moment, Lu Ziqiao suggested going to a bar for a while.

Su Mingyang and Zeng Xiaoxian both agreed.

Just as they were about to head to the bar.

Su Mingyang's phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Lin Wanyu calling. He had just pressed the answer button when Lin Wanyu's excited voice came from the other end—

"Hey, Mingyang, are you back yet?"

"You're back. What's wrong, Wanyu?"

"I found a job!!!"

"Really? That would be great."

"Mingyang, are you home right now?"

"Yes, but I'm going to a bar with Teacher Zeng and the others."

"Okay, I'll come to the bar to find you."

"Uh-huh."

After hanging up the phone, Su Mingyang told Teacher Zeng and the others about it.

The two were very happy to hear that Lin Wanyu had been looking for a job recently.

Lu Ziqiao laughed and said, "Today is truly a triple celebration! Teacher Zeng is going to become a TV host, and Wanyu has also found a job."

"And there's another surprise?" Su Mingyang and Zeng Xiaoxian asked in unison.

Lu Ziqiao raised an eyebrow at the two of them: "Of course, it means my rent for next quarter is covered."

Zeng Xiao Xian:"……"

……

Bar downstairs.

Su Mingyang and his two companions entered the bar and immediately spotted Hu Yifei and her brother, along with Chen Meijia and Guan Gu. They quickly walked over to them.

After exchanging greetings, Su Mingyang and the others sat down.

Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't wait to announce: "Haha, I have some good news to tell you all, I'm going to be a TV program host soon."

"Congratulations, Teacher Zeng."

Chen Jiaguan and Gu Zhanbo quickly offered their congratulations.

"Not bad, Zeng Xiaoxian. I didn't expect Lisa Rong to actually choose you." Hu Yifei looked at him with some newfound respect.

"Hehe, of course, I'm Brother Xian." Zeng Xiaoxian was very smug, as if he could handle it all on his own.

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes, ignored him, and turned to Su Mingyang, saying, "Mingyang, Meijia said you went fishing yesterday?"

“Yes, I fished all night.” Su Mingyang nodded.

"Fishing all night must be tiring, right?" Lu Zhanbo asked.

“Zhanbo, you’re mistaken. These kinds of recreational activities aren’t tiring at all.” Lu Ziqiao said, extending his hand to Chen Meijia: “Meijia, remember the bet we made yesterday, right?”

"Of course I remember." Chen Meijia hugged the teddy bear. "Mingyang, how many did he catch?"

“One,” Su Mingyang replied.

"Hahaha, Lu Ziqiao, you only caught one after fishing all night!" Chen Meijia pointed at Lu Ziqiao and laughed so hard she bent over.

Hu Yifei and the others couldn't help but laugh.

"So what if you catch one? Go try fishing for one yourself!" Lu Ziqiao immediately retorted, somewhat unconvinced.

“Yes, Meijia, this is the result of Ziqiao’s hard work all night. It’s not right for you to laugh at it like that,” Su Mingyang said in defense of Lü Ziqiao.

To be honest, he sincerely admired Lu Ziqiao's persistence last night.

“Mingyang-jun is right,” Guan Gu Shenqi agreed.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself." Chen Meijia stopped laughing. "By the way, Mingyang, did you go fishing?"

"I stayed there for a while because I had nothing else to do."

"How many did you catch?"

Just as Su Mingyang was about to speak, Zeng Xiaoxian quickly said, "It seems like they caught six. Mingyang is going to have a river seafood feast tonight, so everyone will be in for a treat."

"You're amazing, Mingyang-jun! You caught so many!" Guan Gu Shenqi gave Su Mingyang a thumbs up.

"Yeah, we're going to have something delicious tonight." Lu Zhanbo said with anticipation.

"Mingyang, not bad." Hu Yifei said with a smile.

"It's alright," Su Mingyang said with a faint smile.

"Hahaha!!!" At this moment, Chen Meijia suddenly laughed again, and even louder than before, "Lu Ziqiao, Mingyang caught six, and you actually... you only caught one all night!"

Feeling embarrassed, Lu Ziqiao quickly changed the subject: "Hey Chen Meijia, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
