Qu Mingcong flipped through more than a thousand chat records and finally found the secret phrase Qiao Yueying said.
[Little Joy: The wind will blow in the botanical garden tomorrow, and the morning glories will not bloom.]
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"You should ask me to meet." Qiao Yueying thought for a moment, "Tomorrow's Botanical Garden means meeting at the Botanical Garden tomorrow. The wind blowing refers to the south gate of the Botanical Garden, because it is autumn now, and the wind will blow from the northwest.
When the wind blows from the southeast, there are only two doors in the botanical garden, one is the south door and the other is the north door. The only one that can be said to be facing the wind is the south door."
Qu Mingcong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "What does it mean if the morning glory doesn't bloom?"
"The location is determined in the first sentence, and the time should be determined in the second sentence," Qiao Yueying said, "Morning glories usually bloom at five or six in the morning and wither at noon, so the whole meaning is, meet at the south gate of the Botanical Garden at noon tomorrow."
This is yesterday's chat record, "tomorrow" refers to today.
Qu Mingcong looked at the time, because the video conference was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. If he drove for another hour to the botanical garden at this time, it would be impossible to arrive at noon anyway.
As if she guessed Qu Mingcong's thoughts, Qiao Yueying said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's just a guess. Maybe this sentence is not meant for me, but for other people in the group? Or maybe the other party sent it
I got the wrong message. After I sent it, I saw that it was wrong, so I left the group in a hurry~"
"You can think openly." Qu Mingcong smiled helplessly, "I'm really not in a hurry..."
Qiao Yueying explained: "I wanted to tell you yesterday! But you guys had a lot of fun in Xiaofeng Mountain, so I thought I'd wait until I get back to talk about it. But after I got back, you suddenly came to me again.
A romantic surprise suddenly stunned me, so I forgot about it~"
Qu Mingcong nodded, "Okay, it's my fault again."
"If they really come to see me and I don't show up at the agreed time and place, the other party will definitely try to contact me again." Qiao Yueying was very relieved, "So, we just need to wait."
Qu Mingcong reminded her: "But we may not be in Qingjiang City in a few days."
"It's not like I won't come back, just let the other party wait a few more days." Qiao Yueying felt that these were not problems.
Qu Mingcong thought for a while, and it seemed that this was all he could do.
…
…………
Assistant Xiaoqu booked flights for Qu Mingcong and Wang Wei for the next day.
Qu Mingcong thought that the efficiency this time was quite high, unlike the last time the meeting was procrastinating.
As a result, he was slapped in the face after the plane landed. The other team left him and Wang Wei in the hotel for a whole day without arranging a meeting or informing them of the upcoming itinerary.
Qu Mingcong is very uncomfortable with the working style of this artist team. He has a very clear distinction between work and rest. He relaxes completely when resting and concentrates all his energy when working. This state of affairs is neither good nor bad, which makes him very uncomfortable.
But considering that the time stipulated in the contract was only three days, we had no choice but to endure it.
Wang Wei was actually a little depressed, so he comforted himself: "After all, he is a celebrity, has a special profession, and is busy at work. We can understand that he can't think of it for a while."
Qiao Yueying's voice came out from the phone: "No, with Tong Yuan's current state, it is impossible to be busy. Since the video of him acting like a celebrity was exposed on the Internet, his popularity has plummeted, and the number of fans has dropped by three.
Two-thirds of it, several endorsements have been cancelled, and his current status should be similar to that of a homeless person."
"Ah?" Wang Wei's face suddenly turned ugly, "Damn, he's so busy, why can't he find time to meet with us?"
"I guess he can't make the decision. Didn't the woman named Yang Xin say it last time? She was the main promoter of this cooperation, so Tong Yuan can only cooperate and not take the lead." Qiao Yueying thought for a while and then continued,
"I heard that in such a company, one manager usually manages several artists. After Tong Yuan's accident, Yang Xin's focus should have shifted to other artists. It is possible that she could not take care of them for a while. As for those assistants,
At most, it's just some errand work, but you can't make the decision in this matter."
Qu Mingcong looked at Wang Wei expressionlessly, "If they leave us here for three days, will they pay us according to the contract?"
"No way..." Wang Wei frowned and glanced at the high-rise buildings outside the hotel window, "If we are really being ignored all the time, we can only treat it as a tourist trip."
"Travel is good, I like traveling!" Qiao Yueying suggested, "Let's go out for fun tomorrow! Is there any fun place in Xianghai City?"
Qu Mingcong thought to himself: No matter where you go, you can only stay on your phone and make nonsense.
Wang Wei felt unhappy, "Oh, I'm not in the mood to play. My heart aches when I think that my dream of entering the entertainment industry will stop here."
Qu Mingcong disliked his pretentiousness, "Why don't you just call and ask? Ask them what their arrangements are for tomorrow. If they don't have any arrangements, we won't stay at the hotel tomorrow and go out for a walk."
Wang Wei does not have the contact information of his agent, and of course he does not have the contact information of a celebrity. The one who works with him is his assistant Xiaoqu.
I called and asked, but the other person didn't know anything about it. Then I asked the other person to find a way to contact the agent. The other person said that Sister Yang had gone out to do something and she hadn't come back yet.
Wang Wei hung up the phone and felt very powerless.
Qiao Yueying gloated on her mobile phone and said cheerfully: "This is obviously not taken seriously. To put it bluntly, in multi-threaded work, private detectives are ranked at the bottom. I guess they have to wait for Sister Yang to change the priority."
Only when Gao’s tasks are almost done will he think of us~”
Qu Mingcong sighed, "Forget it, it's only three days anyway."
Three days does not mean that this case will only be investigated for three days, but the contract stipulates that he must stay in Xianghai City to hand over the work to the other party for at least three days. As for after three days, Qu Mingcong can investigate wherever he wants.
, no matter what result is found, the reward will be paid within one month.
On the second day after staying in the hotel, Qu Mingcong searched for travel guides on the Internet, and then went to the famous local pedestrian street in Xianghai City to buy souvenirs.
After buying the specialties, at Qiao Yueying's request, she went to the cinema to watch a movie.
Qiao Yueying strongly urged him to buy a couple's ticket, but he refused because the couple's ticket was twice that of a single ticket, and Qu Mingcong didn't think it was necessary.
It was already dusk after the movie ended. When he walked out of the theater, the light fountain in the square outside was turned on. Several children were chasing and playing around the fountain. There were several vendors selling balloons and several young people handing out leaflets.
Qu Mingcong looked up at the starry night sky, thinking that there was not much difference between cities. The same concrete buildings, the same asphalt roads, and even the snack bars on the roadside were the same. In the past, he wanted to
I have been to many cities during my mission, but I have never observed them carefully.
The cell phone rang, it was Wang Wei's call.
"Hello," Qu Mingcong answered the phone, "What's going on?"
Wang Wei sighed: "There is finally something going on with Tong Yuan. Let's go to Tower A of Fucheng Building at 10 o'clock. There is an interview that you need to participate in."
