APCF -Chapter 10 (2)

At this moment Tao Tao had finished booking the rooms, cheering: “It’s done, all of us can sleep now!”

“That’s great,” Luo Qiuman laughed as she made fun of herself, “Hurry up and head over ba, this old person here stood till she almost fell asleep.”

Not only Luo Qiuman, but all of the guests who sat in a plane for most of the day were also very tired. Zhang Yunfei had an extremely good sense to take over Luo Qiuman’s luggage and led the way towards the exit.

Qi Xingchen naturally would not give the male and female protagonists a chance to interact. With a sudden bright idea, he directly grabbed Tao Tao’s luggage cart.

Tao Tao: “……No need, no need. My luggage is not heavy, I can push it by myself.”

“It’s okay, Tao Tao-jie. You’re so skinny, it’s better for me to do it ba.” With a big wave of his hand, Qi Xingchen behaved like a gentleman.

After saying that, in order not to give Tao Tao a chance to back out, he started walking1 and left her behind.

As he walked, there was a burst of footsteps getting closer and closer. He had thought it was Tao Tao catching up to him and did not think much of it.

However, in the next second, a piece of clothing was flung exactly onto his arm that was pushing the cart.

He lowered his head to take a look. It was Bo Ye’s dark blue denim jacket.

The footsteps continued to get closer, eventually slowing down beside him. Keeping his eyes forward, Bo Ye said at a volume only the both of them could hear: “There was too much luggage, I couldn’t carry them all.”

QI Xingchen: “……”

Didn’t you only bring a single suitcase?!

…

When they reached the hotel, they met another challenge.

A usual suite had 3 rooms: a living room and two bedrooms. Qi Xingchen’s original plan was to let the extra woman live in one bedroom, the other two men live in the other bedroom, and he would sleep on the living room sofa.

Who knew that this hotel’s suite was different? There was no living room, only two bedrooms with one bigger than the other. The smaller bedroom had a double bed, while the bigger bedroom had twin beds.

There was a sofa as well, but it was very small. Even if two of them were placed together, a grown person would not be able to sleep on it, that kind of small.

Tao Tao said: “Can we switch rooms?”

The six of them came over in two separate cars. Zhang Yunfei who arrived first shook his head: “I just asked the front desk, all of the suites have already been booked out.”

“Maybe cancel the suite and book two other standard rooms?”

“We can cancel rooms, but we need to pay half the price as commission.”

The price of the suite was 1000 kroner, with half of it as the commissioning fee, 500 kroner would just be gone like that.

“How about we get another standard room?” Luo Qiuman yawned.

“One standard room costs 400, and we just spent 150 for the taxi,” Tao Tao winced slightly, “If we book another room, we would have spent almost 2000 today when added up……”

She did not continue her words, but everyone at the scene had an inkling of what it was.
The total amount of travel funds was 8000. It was not even the first day and they had spent 2000.
What about the seven days of the official trip?

If they wanted to save their resources, they could only inconvenience a female guest to stay with the men in the suite now.

“Why not……” As the female protagonist of this novel, Tao Tao shouldered the responsibility at this critical moment, “Since Qiuman-jie’s sleep quality is poor, Ziyu has a lot of activities recently, they both need a good rest. I’m a heavy sleeper, let me go over ba.”

Lu Qiuman said: “Won’t it be inconvenient?”

“It’s alright, Qiuman-jie,” Tao Tao held onto Luo Qiuman’s arm, “Later on I’ll just shower and remove my makeup at your side, then head over!”

Seeing that Tao Tao’s expression did not seem forced, plus the fact that this was the best solution, the crowd praised Tao Tao and headed back to their own rooms.

While all the guests were unpacking their bags, the director’s assistant created a group chat to facilitate the notification of events or deployment of the artistes.

Tao Tao was definitely going to stay in the bigger bedroom with twin beds, but they have yet to decide who was going to take the other bed. Qi Xingchen threw himself onto the sofa and scrolled through his phone.

“Eh, Yunfei-ge,” He looked at the members of the group chat and said with surprise, “Why are there so many people in the group?”

Zhang Yunfei was taking his clothes out from his suitcase, “There’s the directing team, as well as the guest’s agents and assistants, of course there are so many.”

“Assistant…… Your assistant would be following you all the time?”

“Of course,” Zhang Yunfei chose his clothes and made a phone call to his assistant, “If not, who would take care of the clothing for tomorrow’s filming?”

Pausing for a bit, he seemed to have recalled something: “Xingxing, I saw that you came here alone. Did you not bring an assistant?”

“I don’t have one for now.”

Zhang Yunfei came over at this moment to pat his shoulder without saying anything, then brought his clothes to find his assistant to iron them.

Qi Xingchen looked at Bo Ye who was currently hand washing his T-shirt in the restroom.

An A-lister star like Zhang Yunfei had no shortage of money nor people to support him and was long used to a life of others serving him.

Liu Ziyu was even more extreme, directly bringing four assistants over today. Since she was staying in this hotel, her agent booked a few more rooms next door, not caring at all about the expense.

Only this top-traffic celebrity, with the highest position in the entertainment circle, who was often rumoured to throw his weight around, was unpacking his luggage and taking care of his clothes by himself.

…… Oh god, was his idol really not an angel???

Qi Xingchen blinked with his cheeks resting on his hands, then found Bo Ye’s WeChat “Bo”5 from the group chat’s member list.

With a sudden move as fierce as a tiger,【Your friend request has been sent, please wait for the other party to accept.】
