Chapter 96: When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits?
Whether Wang Luodan and Chen Qiaoen have any other thoughts is probably unknown to anyone but themselves.
But one thing is obvious: when they saw Yang Chaoyue and Lao Wang guarding the room, they were definitely not in a particularly good mood.
Similarly, Yang Chaoyue's mood was also rather so-so.
It wasn't entirely because of the two women, but rather because she felt a little uncomfortable seeing Li Mo drink so much.
She didn't know what happened at the drinking party, but she hated the people who made Li Mo drink.
Yang Chaoyue, who was already feeling unwell, felt even more uncomfortable when he saw the two women.
It produced a result where one plus one is greater than two!
And so, five people were crammed into an ordinary hotel room, and none of them showed any intention of leaving.
Of these five people, Lao Wang was actually the one who wanted to leave the most. Why did he have to get involved in this situation?
But Yang Chaoyue couldn't possibly leave Fang Laowang.
What a joke! If something really happens, wouldn't he be at a huge disadvantage facing two strong, middle-aged women all by himself?
So, due to the senior assistant's request, Lao Wang stubbornly stayed behind.
Yang Chaoyue, on the other hand, was ignored. Neither Wang Luodan nor Chen Qiaoen really took him seriously.
She's just a little girl, a junior assistant. What big waves can she possibly make?
The focus isn't on Yang Chaoyue!
After all, apart from Lao Wang, who knew that Yang Chaoyue had some special relationship with Li Mo, no outsiders would know that she was just a subordinate who had a good relationship with Li Mo.
Chen Qiaoen probably had the most ideas on the field. To be honest, Li Mo might have been in a rather embarrassing situation drinking with them this time.
Perhaps it was a bit impulsive, but Chen Qiaoen was genuinely fascinated by this man's blood and sweat.
That's awesome!
So much so that Chen Qiaoen now genuinely wants to have some kind of story with Li Mo, since the atmosphere in Taiwan isn't that conservative.
Sexual intercourse between men and women doesn't require any responsibility!
That's why Wang Luodan insisted on coming with Chen Qiaoen to see Li Mo off.
Just kidding, it doesn't matter whether I get to eat or not, do you think I'd let you eat first?
Moreover, Chen Qiaoen is leaving soon, and once tonight is over, she won't have another chance.
Who knows, this woman might really do something today if she gets angry. It's not impossible, especially since they've been drinking.
Therefore, Wang Luodan is determined to kill Chen Qiaoen today.
I can't let her out of my sight, never!
"Dandan, why don't you go back and rest first? I'll take care of Li Mo. I'm leaving tomorrow."
Chen Qiaoen suppressed his dissatisfaction and made the first move.
"Oh, no need, I'm not tired! If you're tired, you can go back first!" Wang Luodan wasn't in a hurry anyway, so she pretended to be clueless and said that, then stopped talking.
Yang Chaoyue, who was hostile to both of them, attempted to drive them both away:
"You don't need to worry about it. Leave Mo to me, we'll take care of him."
Chen Qiaoen, who was already in a bad mood, completely ignored Yang Chaoyue.
"Little girl, this is none of your business. Go back to sleep."
"Hmph~" Yang Chaoyue was very dissatisfied and gave a soft hum, looking at Lao Wang, an outsider, as if encouraging Lao Wang to vent his anger.
Old Wang was also crying inside. Good heavens, he was a driver who had been transformed into an assistant, but in reality, he was just a shield.
Who among them could I possibly offend? There's no way I could possibly get involved in a situation like this…
However, considering that Yang Chaoyue was pressing him hard, if he didn't do something, it seemed like things might not go well later.
After thinking for a long time, when he saw Li Mo, who was feeling a bit hot, tossing and turning on the bed trying to take off his clothes, he suddenly had an idea.
Old Wang straightened his expression, coughed, and attracted the attention of the others.
"If you ask me, regardless of which of you stays, shouldn't you two pay more attention to Brother Mo... he's practically being strangled by his clothes!"
Chen Qiaoen and the others immediately turned around and saw that Li Mo's coat was half off, down to his neck.
For some reason, he got stuck somewhere. Li Mo subconsciously tried to break free, but the more he tried, the tighter it became.
"oops!"
Chen Qiaoen shouted and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Mo take off his coat, then turned around and complained.
"It's true what they say, 'One monk has water to drink, but three monks have no water to drink...' So many people can't take care of one person. If it were me, I would never do this..."
Before Yang Chaoyue could refute, Wang Luodan had already made her move:
"Who are you calling a monk?"
When arguing, neither of you should agree with the other person's point of view; arguing your own point of view is the only way to win.
Therefore, Wang Luodan changed to an angle that Chen Qiaoen did not expect.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Qiaoen said bluntly, not one to tolerate the other person.
"Stop your sarcastic remarks... You would never do that yourself. To be frank, you're not cut out for it. You're just trying to distance yourself like a pure white lotus..."
Wang Luodan's words are far more sharp than I imagined; she's quite formidable when she argues with people.
"Hmph, you're much better at arguing than taking care of people... and you call yourself a goddess of elegance... pshaw!"
Honestly, if a paparazzi saw this scene in the room, they would be absolutely shocked.
One is the epitome of a young woman's character, the eternally gentle and ambitious Wang Luodan.
One is Chen Qiaoen, a Taiwanese idol drama goddess who never argues with anyone.
The two of them actually started arguing back and forth in the room.
Who could believe such a scene would appear!
Yang Chaoyue, however, showed no intention of stepping in to break up the fight. She even used her eyes to deter Lao Wang from intervening.
What's this called?
This is called "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole... oh no, it's "the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman benefits."
You really need to read more books, otherwise you'll be so embarrassed if you can't even pronounce idioms correctly in the future.
Yang Chaoyue was having a great time, but Chen Qiaoen and Wang Luodan were getting increasingly out of control.
Why do arguments between two people sometimes escalate and become more intense?
The answer is to expose the shortcomings; once it enters a certain stage, the situation can easily escalate rapidly.
"Old woman!" Wang Luodan launched the first attack.
Wang Luodan is qualified to say this to Chen Qiaoen, after all, she was born in 84 and Chen Qiaoen was born in 79.
I refuse to believe that these words won't kill the game!
"Hmph, you're only comparing yourself to me. Aren't you just an old woman in front of Li Mo too?"
Chen Qiaoen immediately retorted, but she didn't seem to have much confidence in her response.
But I still forced myself to pretend!
Wang Luodan immediately tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Maybe Li Mo just likes older women with a bit of an artistic flair?"
Chen Qiaoen reacted quickly: "Since you say she likes older men, then I'm older than you!"
"Wouldn't that make you like me even more?"
Just as Wang Luodan was about to retort, Yang Chaoyue interjected:
"Let me explain, Brother Mo doesn't like this..."
When Wang Luodan saw the girl interrupting again, her anger flared even more. After all, women are very perceptive.
It was obvious that Wang Luodan had remembered Yang Chaoyue's previous actions, but she just hadn't said anything.
Now she's even chiming in!
"Shut up! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you really think I can't handle you?"
Wang Luodan clearly had a lot on her mind, so she decided to take this opportunity to say it all:
"Who do you think you are? You think you can give me attitude? You're not worthy! I just don't want to talk to you. It would be beneath me to talk to you!"
"If you really don't like me, wait until you're famous. Without Li Mo, you don't even have the right to talk to me!"
Yang Chaoyue clearly did not expect that his words would cause trouble for him, and even more unexpectedly, Wang Luodan did not take him seriously at all.
Wang Luodan and Chen Qiaoen still had some reservations, but Yang Chaoyue really didn't hold back at all.
Yang Chaoyue is still inexperienced; she's very good at playing tricks on Li Mo behind his back.
But if you really push her to the forefront and put her on the same stage as these two veteran female figures who have been in the industry for many years, it would be a different story.
You really overestimate her. So when Wang Luodan scolded him like that, Yang Chaoyue's mind went blank for a moment.
I want to fight back, I don't want to lose face, and I know I've been looking forward to this day for a while, but for some reason, when I actually got to this point, I just couldn't say anything.
And tears started to fall uncontrollably from her eyes. She really didn't want to be like this, but she just couldn't help it.
This is the classic example of a master of verbal sparring.
In crucial moments, it still comes down to Old Wang, who watches from the sidelines. Although Old Wang is not of high status and is not particularly shrewd, he has been eating rice for many years.
He has at least thirty more years of experience than Yang Chaoyue, so he is very clear about the current situation.
Seeing the little girl like this, Old Wang sighed. She still couldn't do without him!
"Um... I know I'm not qualified, I'm just an assistant, but I'll say it anyway, she's the sister of the woman in bed..."
Whether she's your sister or not is none of your business; when you're out in the world, you decide your own identity.
You two were arguing because of the person in bed, right? Okay, then I'll use the person in bed as an example.
Old Wang is so shrewd, why would he compare his weaknesses with others' strengths?
Yes, you're high-profile, famous, and rich! But sorry, I have my advantages too!
My relationship with Li Mo: I'm young, I'm cute...
You're comparing yourself to them in these aspects!
When Lao Wang said that, Wang Luodan was immediately embarrassed. "You should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, I would have just endured it a little longer."
Does this count as offending my sister-in-law?
Chen Qiaoen, who witnessed everything, noticed that Wang Luodan's expression was rather unpleasant. He hadn't expected that she would unexpectedly get such a good outcome.
So he immediately followed up with:
"Wow, you really have the air of a senior... If you're so great, what are you showing off for? If you're so capable, why don't you go after Bai Baihe?"
"Even with such impressive skills, they're almost being surpassed?"
"That's hilarious... If you ask me, Bai Baihe is definitely better than you!"
Chen Qiaoen initially intended to say one sentence, but the last two sentences were simply something she couldn't help but say.
Wang Luodan glared at Chen Qiaoen, who was kicking her while she was down, and felt a pain in her chest from anger as she mentioned Bai Baihe in front of her.
It's like mentioning Guo Jingming in front of Han Han and then saying that Guo Jingming is better than Han Han.
Even with her eloquence, Wang Luodan was speechless at this moment. She really wanted to slap Chen Qiaoen, but she held back.
"What are all these things...?"
Wang Luodan cursed under her breath, then slung her bag over her shoulder and left. She had already lost enough face; there was no point in staying any longer.
Two against one, that's not fair! (Yang Chaoyue and Lao Wang count as one!)
After Wang Luodan left, Chen Qiaoen thought he could stay, but Old Wang continued to act:
"Teacher Chen Qiaoen, I suggest you leave too. After all, things just turned out so ugly, who knows what might happen next? You can't give people something to talk about."
So, if you have any gossip to say, you can tell me. I'll make sure to tell him as soon as Brother Mo wakes up tomorrow.
There's plenty of time in the future, and it's not like this is the only film crew!
Old Wang's words were reasonable and insightful. Chen Qiaoen thought about it and agreed that it was indeed true, and then nodded.
"Then tell Li Mo that I helped him here today, and ask him to call me back when he wakes up tomorrow."
"No problem!" Old Wang agreed readily.
And so, Chen Qiaoen left the room, while Yang Chaoyue remained there, pursing her lips and shedding tears, looking like a wilted eggplant.
No one expected that Yang Chaoyue would be the one most deeply injured in this battle.
The main problem is that she's too weak. When the eldest and second eldest are fighting, the third eldest can't take it anymore.
Old Wang was too lazy to persuade him. In terms of age, Yang Chaoyue was no different from his own child, so he usually liked to coax Yang Chaoyue.
He did whatever Yang Chaoyue said.
Therefore, he understood what was going on in Yang Chaoyue's mind. You can't persuade someone about this; they have to figure it out for themselves.
"Are you really planning to tell Brother Mo what she said tomorrow?" Yang Chaoyue's voice rang out, trembling with tears.
"You can talk! That's half the battle!" Old Wang immediately began to coax.
"Are you kidding me... They're already gone. How are we going to tell Li Mo tomorrow? Isn't that our problem? I'll listen to you!"
"Hmph~" Yang Chaoyue sobbed, then continued, "I want to become a big star someday! That way I can shut up all these people who put down the weak and fawn over the strong!"
However, her constant sobbing actually made her look rather cute.
Old Wang didn't say anything. Li Mo rarely talked to him about Yang Chaoyue, so he didn't know what Li Mo's plans were for Yang Chaoyue.
However, he believes that whether Yang Chaoyue can achieve this in the future depends on Li Mo.
It's not just about whether Li Mo is willing to support it, but also about how large Li Mo's business empire is.
Without Li Mo's support, or if Li Mo's subsequent development is unfavorable, Lao Wang is not very optimistic about Yang Chaoyue if any of these problems arise.
Having spent a few months in this circle, he had heard many fantastical stories from within it.
But as I said before, how many Wang Baoqiangs are there in the whole country?
It's best not to concern yourself with these probability-related problems.
Seeing that Lao Wang didn't reply, Yang Chaoyue asked somewhat sadly, "You don't think I have a good chance?"
"How could that be? Of course I think highly of you! Li Mo often tells me about his expectations for you. I don't know anything else, but I know that Li Mo approves of you."
What he thought in his heart didn't matter; on the surface, Lao Wang continued to encourage and support him as always.
Someone like Lao Wang would have been a top eunuch in ancient times; being a driver is a waste of his talents.
"Brother Mo is the best!" Yang Chaoyue glanced at the person on the bed, then his face tightened, and he said with grief and indignation, "After this movie is finished, I'll hand Brother Mo over to you. I'll go back obediently and work hard!"
Yang Chaoyue was determined this time to train hard when he got back, so as not to let Li Mo down.
Sooner or later, she would stand here openly and proudly, and Xiao Yang Chaoyue was filled with motivation.
