Chapter 475: 187 An ordinary lawyer, upgraded to a master (second update) _2
When it cos to Zhao Jingzhou, there’s no one who doesn’t know him, a lawyer both capable and famous, a genuine high-achiever who graduated from Jiangjing University of Political Science and Law.
How could anyone compare?
“You make a good point,” the director nodded as he returned to the small room to check the caras, “But I’ll tell you, this Lawyer Chi is even more relaxed than the others, which really is strange…”
It was a puzzle he couldn’t unravel.
“Co Here Friend” was already in its third season, and many guests had invited friends from outside their own circles. Most of them would be sowhat reserved in front of the caras or put on airs…
It was the first ti Director Li had seen such a harmonious and lax atmosphere like today’s.
**
Inside the house.
Chi Yundai heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen, his gaze shifted in that direction, he placed the cake on the table, and then handed a docunt bag to Bai Lian, “Take a look when you have ti.”
With that, he rolled up his sleeves and headed to the kitchen.
i Yi was slicing potatoes into shreds.
He had cooked before, and among ordinary people, his culinary skills were considered good; even the potato slices he cut were acceptable, at least better than Yan Lu’s.
Chi Yundai looked disdainfully at the big chunk of potato and turned his head to i Yi, “Is your house short of beams?”
Yan Lu, who was washing vegetables, turned around with great respect, “Lawyer Chi, you’ve arrived.”
After pondering for a mont, he offered an explanation for i Yi, “Teacher i is really good at cooking.”
“Theoretically, everyone can cook,” Chi Yundai comnted precisely.
Hmm, theoretically.
As everyone knew, Chi Yundai was an underling of Young Master Jiang.
A bad bamboo shoot cos from a rotten bamboo.
i Yi, wearing a black apron with a knife in hand, got a glance from Chi Yundai, “Give the knife, you two just wash the vegetables.”
The disdain was not at all concealed.
i Yi held a high status both inside and outside the circle, and few people had ever evaluated him like that. It took i Yi a minute to understand Chi Yundai’s aning.
This ant that he had cut the potato shreds so thick they could be used as beams.
i Yi: “…”
He silently stepped aside and watched Chi Yundai swiftly turn the knife and then start slicing on the cutting board, cutting each potato shred extrely thin.
i Yi had thought his own slicing was quite satisfactory until he saw Chi Yundai’s potato shreds, only a milliter thick, which plunged him into silence.
In front of the caras outside, the director looked back hesitantly and asked the staff, “Sister Xin said he’s a lawyer, right?”
Or did he mishear ‘chef’ as ‘lawyer’?
“Should be…,” the staff mber, uncertain while watching Chi Yundai chopping away, replied.
**
In the end, it was Chi Yundai who cooked the al.
The attentive i Yi assisted in preparing the side dishes and even picked up a few tricks by following Chi Yundai’s lead.
Knowing that i Yi and Yan Lu were recording a show, Chi Yundai didn’t bother kicking them out to cook alone. He occasionally let the two do so cooking.
“Right, just hold it like this,” he passed the wok handle to i Yi, “Use your wrist to toss it like this.”
i Yi tried to toss, but couldn’t manage it.
Chi Yundai: “…never mind, give it to .”
He took the wok back and tossed it with ease.
Next to him, Yan Lu spoke defensively for i Yi, “Tossing the wok is too hard, ordinary people don’t have that kind of wrist strength…”
This was a challenge to Chi Yundai; he peeked out, “Miss Bai, co over here.”
“What is it?” Bai Lian approached the kitchen still holding a pen in her hand.
“Just like this, use your wrist to toss the wok…” Chi Yundai demonstrated to Bai Lian, then let her try tossing the wok.
Bai Lian held the handle; her slender fingers and a segnt of her thin, pale wrist were exposed, with a hint of red ribbon visible. Without much effort, she easily perford a wok toss for everyone.
“Like this?” She gave the pan a few flips and asked Chi Yundai, “What next?”
Chi Yundai added a spoonful of salt, took over the pan, turned off the heat, glanced at i Yi and Yan Lu, and said slowly and deliberately, “It’s fine, Miss Bai, you continue learning.”
Yan Lu, i Yi: “…”
After Chi Yundai finished cooking, when the kitchen was empty, i Yi forgot about the presence of the cara and sneakily gave the pan a flip.
**
During the al, a bunch of fresh flowers was placed in the center of the table, hiding a microphone and cara.
Ever since Yan Lu returned, Bai Lian and Ning Xiao had shared three als with her.
Yan Lu knew Bai Lian and Ning Xiao were tutoring Zhang Shize, sothing she felt she could do even less of than Ning Xiao.
So every ti Yan Lu suggested having a al together, Bai Lian wouldn’t refuse.
i Yi livened up the atmosphere at the dining table.
Apart from the three of them who were working, the rest were high school seniors.
Bai Lian and Ning Xiao talked endlessly about Yang Lin’s situation. She picked up a rib unhurriedly, praising Chi Yundai’s cooking, “Her biology is fine, but she’s a bit weaker in math and physics. Did you compile those two workbooks of mistakes?”
“Tang Ming and I found those problems, they should be able to help her.” Ning Xiao considered for a mont, “She missed the biology competition, otherwise it would have been better.”
At school, he and Chen Zhu among others had participated in competitions.
As for Yang Lin, she’d been so busy working that she had no energy for anything else.
Chi Yundai also found an opportunity to discuss the contract with Bai Lian, while Pu Xiaohan asked Yan Lu about fun stories from filming “Great Yong” and when the inside scoop would air.
Yan Lu’s participation in “Co Here Friend” was originally for promoting “Great Yong,” so when Pu Xiaohan brought it up, she smoothly responded.
Pu Xiaohan also boldly asked to add i Yi on WeChat.
As the table grew lively, i Yi held up his phone to Bai Lian, wanting to add her on WeChat.
Bai Lian put a piece of bok choy into her bowl and then lifted her eyes, speaking slowly, “Sure, we’ll let Yan Lu send them all to us later.”
After the al, Bai Lian and the others were ready to leave.
She looked down to unlock her phone.
Several ssages popped up on the screen, the first one from Jiang Fulai.
He sent a photo indicating he was across the street.
Bai Lian replied unhurriedly—
[1]
Then she picked up her backpack and jacket and went out, with Yan Lu and i Yi seeing them off.
The director and Sister Xin also ca out of the small room to see off Bai Lian and her group.
The next ssage was a WeChat business card sent by Yan Lu, with an English na and an animated avatar. Bai Lian glanced at it, which must be i Yi’s; she tapped to add him as a friend.
Chi Yundai was by Bai Lian’s side, chatting with her about things in Jiangjing.
Once the group of students left, the Zhang Family courtyard seed to quiet down again.
Slapping his thigh, the director laughed, “Sister Xin, I think today’s footage is good too, enough for an episode!”
Though Chi Yundai wasn’t as famous as Zhao Jingzhou, his cooking skills were simply astounding, and he even perford a “straw raincoat cut” for i Yi.
He already had thoughts for the trending searches when the show aired.
Of course, the director was still unaware that he was thinking too small.
“We might not go viral,” i Yi’s agent approached him and said, laughing, “But Lawyer Chi is really -worthy, haha i Yi, you provided the biggest laugh of the episode.”
“Beam” and secretly flipping the pan were indeed too funny.
i Yi ignored his agent, taking out his phone and opening WeChat. He tapped a few tis then froze.
“What’s wrong?” The agent peered down curiously.
i Yi’s WeChat was on a newly verified friend’s page, featuring an ancient tower avatar without a verification ssage. The agent scrolled up to see—the person’s WeChat na—
Bai Jian.
“Fuck,” the agent couldn’t hold back the façade, blurting out a classic expletive, “You added Yan Lu’s mysterious composer god?”
