Chapter 20 It's really not spicy
Chen Mo was confused. We were discussing who you would like to play the role a few seconds ago, how come it became my business as soon as you opened your mouth? !
"Wait a moment." Chen Mo spoke before Xu Hongdou could speak first.

"What do you mean I need to shoot a video to promote my new song? Aren't you going to shoot the MV yourself? How can you let others shoot the MV?"

"We're not shooting an MV, we're shooting a promotional video similar to an MV, mainly used for promotion." Jiang Congwen corrected patiently.

"So it doesn't matter whether I took the photo or not. That's what Sister Nan said. We were wrong because of our preconceived ideas."

"She also asked you to promote yourself at the same time." Chen Mo laughed angrily.

"Also, even if you don't have to take the photo yourself, when did I ever say I would take it for you?"

"I think the most important thing is to promote the song, and the promotional effect must be good. My image is definitely not suitable. People don't feel involved. It would be okay if it was in school." Jiang Congwen patted his belly.

"Besides, you're not helping me. This is not a song you wrote. Do you know that there are many people on the Internet who are curious about who you are? After all, the songwriters of the first four songs on the hot song charts are all named after you."

"With this opportunity, you will surely become famous overnight, and everyone in the world will know you from now on." Jiang Congwen said passionately.

"So I have to thank you?" Chen Mo sneered.

"We are all brothers, there is no distinction between you and me." Jiang Congwen waved his hand, not caring at all.

"Then I'll just sing this song." Chen Mo was about to say something when he was interrupted by Xu Hongdou from the back seat.

"You wait a moment too." Xu Hongdou stretched out her hand to signal Chen Mo to wait a moment.

"I haven't agreed yet." Xu Hongdou looked at the two people discussing this, and it seemed like they were almost assuming that she would agree.

"Yes, yes, yes, beautiful Hongdou hasn't agreed yet, why are you being so pretentious?" Jiang Congwen reacted. He felt that if Xu Hongdou agreed, there would be no problem with Chen Mo.

The neighbors are all willing to help, how can you, as their brother, refuse?
"."Chen Mo.

If Jiang Congwen hadn't been driving, Chen Mo would have kicked him right now.

"First of all, I don't know how to shoot any videos, and I haven't done so before."

"Secondly, I may not have the time."

"So, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. You should find someone else."

"Finally, I'll treat you to dinner later."

Xu Hongdou refused directly.

She finally realized that there is no free lunch in the world. This meal was going to be the Hongmen Banquet. It would be hard to refuse if she really ate it.

"Oh, Hongdou, you misunderstood. We asked you for help in this matter, but it has nothing to do with eating. These are two different things, and we should keep them separate." Jiang Congwen said hurriedly.

"That's right, don't mind what he said just now, and don't take it to heart. I'll treat you to dinner later, it has nothing to do with him." Chen Mo also said. Jiang Congwen was a bit rash just now. They had just had a meal together before, and at most they were acquaintances. It was not to the point of asking for help so casually.

"Well, I may have been a bit presumptuous just now, and I didn't explain it clearly, which caused you to misunderstand." Jiang Congwen quickly explained.

"It's like this. We just thought of shooting a short video this morning to promote the new song. So we haven't decided who to ask for the video yet. We are worried about it."

"I was originally supposed to be the male lead, but I didn't know who to find for the female lead."

"I just saw you and I thought you were a good fit. You were standing on the side of the road and suddenly I had a sense of picture."

“That’s why I had this idea just now.”

"I feel that if you come to play the role, then it would not be appropriate for me to be the male lead. The audience would not feel involved. It would be better to let Chen Mo play the role. The man is talented and the woman is beautiful. The two of you standing there would be like an idol drama."

"But I really can't," Xu Hongdou wanted to refuse.

"You don't need to know. We are not professionals. What matters most is that the man is good-looking and the woman is pretty. There is really no one prettier than you around us." Jiang Congwen said seriously.

"You know, I just broke up recently, otherwise I would have asked my girlfriend to take the photo." Jiang Congwen said this with a bit of self-mockery.

"And don't worry, it won't take too long. It will only take up one of your rest days."

“The whole video is only about three and a half minutes, two scenes, so it can be shot very quickly.”

"So I want to ask you for a favor."

After hearing what Jiang Congwen said and Chen Mo's reaction just now, Xu Hongdou also believed that they had acted on impulse.

But she still wanted to refuse. Even if what Jiang Congwen said was true, she had no reason to help.

"We just want to ask you for a favor. We won't talk about money." Seeing that Xu Hongdou was a little hesitant, Jiang Congwen said without hesitation.

"But next month Lin Nanxi will have a concert in the capital. We will give you two concert tickets. Please watch it with Nanxing."

"."Chen Mo.

What a good way to offer flowers to Buddha.

In the morning, Lin Nanxi said she would give him concert tickets, so Jiang Congwen took the blank check and asked for a favor.

What a great trick to get something for nothing.

You don't have to do anything, just get two free laborers.

But Jiang Congwen doesn't think so. He is helping his brothers create opportunities to get along with each other.

They filmed videos together and watched concerts together, so their relationship must be getting warmer.

If Chen Mo really waits for him to get in touch with it slowly, the opportunity will be gone.

Xu Hongdou is so beautiful, there must be a lot of people chasing after her. Time is running out, brother!

Jiang Congwen felt that the reason why he was able to pursue Li Jinting so smoothly was because of speed.

UI.

He took advantage of the time when others were still not able to react and quickly captured the hearts of women, leaving no chance for his rivals.

When she heard about the tickets for Lin Nanxi’s concert, Xu Hongdou hesitated.

If it's about money, she will definitely not take it. If it's less money, she won't be tempted, but if it's more money, she will doubt their intentions.

If Chen Mo knew what Xu Hongdou was thinking, he would definitely cry out for injustice, saying that it was all Jiang Congwen's idea and had nothing to do with him.

But when Jiang Congwen offered to give Xu Hongdou two concert tickets, she was indeed tempted.

She and Chen Nanxing had agreed before that they must go to see Lin Nanxi's concert together.

When I was in college, it was because I was short of money. After graduation, I was too busy with work. Of course, the main reason was that Lin Nanxi’s concert tickets were too hard to get. There were not many shows in the capital every year, so I never had the chance to go.

The Yunnan trip she had agreed with Nanxing had been delayed, so if she could take this opportunity to fulfill the concert, Nanxing would definitely be very happy.

Thinking of this, Xu Hongdou made a decision in her heart.

"Okay, I can help with that."

Xu Hongdou felt that now that things had come to this, they would meet each other every day, and it was not a big deal.

"Thank you so much." Jiang Congwen was overjoyed. With the looks of the two, even he, an acquaintance, wanted to snap them up, let alone other people.

This video is going to be a hit!
But it has to be said that Jiang Congwen has a very accurate grasp of girls' minds. If he had only invited Xu Hongdou to watch the show alone, Xu Hongdou might not necessarily go. But if he brought her best friend along, the weight of the bargaining chip would be much greater.

According to Jiang Congwen's guess, since the two were best friends in school, they probably went to the bathroom hand in hand.

Sharing among true girlfriends more than doubles the happiness; the same is true with rival girlfriends.

Last time, Jiang Congwen knew in the group that both of them liked Lin Nanxi, so he became cautious. He thought that he could teach Chen Mo a lesson in the future and let Chen Mo know that his six years of relationship were not in vain.

It comes in handy now.

I have to say that sometimes falling in love not only allows you to understand the subtleties of relationships between men and women, but you can also learn from your girlfriend about the emotional weight of the relationships between girls.

"Don't worry, the concert tickets are definitely for the best seats in the front row." Jiang Congwen guaranteed.

"Right, Chen Mo?"

"."Chen Mo.

Chen Mo knew that he had to go and get the vote, but Jiang Congwen had already boasted so much that he could only help out.

"Of course." Chen Mo nodded.

This agreement not only means agreeing to get the tickets, but also agreeing to perform.

"Oh, by the way, the autographed photos we agreed on yesterday." Seeing that the matter was settled, Chen Mo took out two sets of autographed photos from Lin Nanxi's assistant in the afternoon. "You got them so soon?" Xu Hongdou took it with some surprise, and put it on her round thigh to look through it.

"You were told yesterday that you got it today? And we only said we wanted two, so why did you get two sets directly?" Xu Hongdou said happily.

Chen Mo could tell from the rearview mirror that Xu Hongdou really liked him, and felt that it was worth it to endure Lin Nanxi's nagging in the morning.

"I just happened to run into Sister Nan at the company today. I asked her for two tickets, but I didn't expect she had them ready, so she just gave me two sets." Chen Mo explained with a smile.

Oh man.

Jiang Congwen, who was driving, curled his lips in disdain. If he had not seen with his own eyes Chen Mo asking Lin Nanxi for an autographed photo in the morning, he would have believed it.

"It was Sister Nan's suggestion to shoot the video," said Chen Mo.

"Really? So just because I didn't agree to let you take a video, you're not going to give me these two sets of autographed photos?" Xu Hongdou was in a good mood and started joking.

"The reason why I didn't take it out just now was because I was afraid that you would find it difficult to refuse Congwen's request." Chen Mo said seriously.

When you give someone a gift when they are hesitating, its nature changes.

It's not a gift, it's a bargaining chip, and Chen Mo doesn't want that.

In Chen Mo's opinion, even if Xu Hongdou refused, it would be no big deal for him to go back to the company to help Jiang Congwen find two handsome men and beautiful women to shoot a promotional video.
What the entertainment industry has no shortage of is good-looking people.

Of course, it’s a bit hard to find someone as pretty as Xu Hongdou.

"So whether you help or not, you will get these two sets of autographed photos. This is what we agreed on before."

"Thank you." Xu Hongdou pursed her lips and said softly.

Xu Hongdou could feel Chen Mo's sincerity. Looking at Chen Mo's profile in the back seat, she could see Chen Mo's serious expression.

And kind of handsome.

Maybe it was because Jiang Congwen just said that they were a perfect match, maybe it was because they were going to make a video together later, or maybe they would be neighbors in the future, Xu Hongdou began to observe Chen Mo seriously for the first time.

"What's wrong?" Feeling Xu Hongdou's gaze, Chen Mo asked while looking in the rearview mirror.

"No, nothing. I was just thinking about what we should eat." Xu Hongdou felt like she was caught peeking and looked away awkwardly.

But he looked at me like that last time, so it’s normal for me to observe him this time, Xu Hongdou thought to herself.

"What do you want to eat?" Chen Mo asked.

"I, I can do it."

"Can you eat spicy food?"

"of course."

"Then let's go eat hotpot. We haven't eaten it for a long time. It will be more lively with more people around," Chen Mo suggested.

"Okay." Xu Hongdou nodded.

"Okay." Jiang Congwen said and found a hot pot restaurant.

The three of them ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot, which included some common dishes such as tripe, pig throat, beef, shrimp paste, bean curd sheets, and some vegetables.

Because Jiang Congwen has to live broadcast these days, and he had a barbecue and beer a few days ago, he now thinks he should take it easy, after all, his voice is valuable now.

Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou had no such concerns and they were eating spicy hot pot together.

The three of them discussed the shooting details and time while eating.

Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou who was sitting opposite him. He lifted her hanging hair with one hand and used the other hand to pick up the tripe with chopsticks and dip it in the oil dish filled with garlic and chili.

Because Xu Hongdou was wearing a white floral dress today, she ate very carefully.

From this angle, when Chen Mo saw Xu Hongdou lowering her head to eat, he could just see Xu Hongdou's long eyelashes blinking like a butterfly gently flapping its wings.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Noticing Chen Mo's gaze, Xu Hongdou looked up and asked.

Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou's originally fair and tender face, which had turned red due to the spicy food. He couldn't help but asked with a smile in his eyes, "Is it a bit too spicy?"

As he spoke, Chen Mo picked up the cup and poured a glass of water for Xu Hongdou.

"No, I just have a little bit. It's not very spicy." Xu Hongdou said with clear eyes.

Chen Mo couldn't help laughing when he saw Xu Hongdou's red face and her sincere words that the food was not spicy. He thought Xu Hongdou was actually quite cute at this moment.

Although Xu Hongdou was very beautiful and had a good temperament before, and was very polite in dealing with people, she always gave Chen Mo the feeling that there was a layer of distance between them and he lacked a sense of closeness.

When Chen Mo learned that Xu Hongdou worked in a hotel, he realized that it was probably a professional habit for her to receive clients.

Jiang Congwen said that I am very familiar with him, because Chen Mo was also like this when he first met him.

But Chen Mo himself didn't realize it, so Jiang Congwen felt that Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou were actually quite similar in terms of dealing with people.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Looking at Chen Mo smiling, Xu Hongdou asked with some surprise.

Chen Mo didn't say anything, but took out his cell phone, took a photo of Xu Hongdou, and then showed it to Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou looked at her own red-faced self on Chen Mo's phone, and remembered that she had just said that it was not spicy. Then, looking at Chen Mo's expression of trying not to laugh, she couldn't help laughing at herself.

Chen Mo looked at Xu Hongdou's smiling face and couldn't help but smile again.

[Her eyelashes, curved mouth corners
Smiled at me without warning]

The church organ suddenly sounded
No sign, unexpected

He actually showed kindness to me first.]

Chen Mo himself didn't realize that his smiling eyes now had a tenderness that he had never had before.

"But I really don't think it's very spicy." Xu Hongdou said to Chen Mo while smiling.

"Okay, okay, it's not spicy, just drink some water first."

Listening to the music in his mind, Chen Mo was not in a hurry at all. He just handed the water in his hand to Xu Hongdou.

[Her eyelashes, curved mouth corners
Take a picture of me with your eyes

I can't get rid of her smile
Filled with the taste of happiness】

"Thank you, but it's really not spicy." Xu Hongdou took it and emphasized it again.

"Okay, okay, I know, you're just a little thirsty." Chen Mo also nodded seriously with a smile in his eyes.

[The way of love cannot be copied with a pen
There are no rules to cheat.

Passive fate is unreliable

You have to choose the one you like yourself.

Chen Mo knew that he would never forget this melody, just like he would never forget the scene before him.

[Her pink and delicate appearance

Like a juicy peach, everyone wants to bite it
The bright lipstick on her lips
I can see a sense of self-confidence and pride.

One can tell at a glance that her skin is rosy and fair, but her pretty features seem to be somewhat obscured by her overly delicate makeup.

Chen Mo couldn't help but think.

However, the originally rosy lips were now more translucent and red with a greasy sheen.

The girl opposite is also so confident that she can eat spicy food.
Somewhat cute, and a little stubborn
