Chapter 166 - Eavesdropping on the Conversation (2/2)

“Pfft, I was the one who organized this program. The publicity effect is much better than finding any magazine media.”

After the two of them bickered, the staff at the side also packed the leftovers.

In the darkness beside the fridge, Lu Yuxi tried her best to slow down her breathing. Both of them listened attentively to their conversation, and doubts arose in their hearts.

“I’m your elder brother, Chen Yeqi. If you keep putting on airs, I’ll slap you!”

The two of them were arguing non-stop. The staff at the side wanted to persuade them, but he couldn’t interrupt. Finally, Chen Yeqi scolded in a low voice, “Chen Zui, don’t be crazy. All our family’s financial resources have been placed on this. You know very well how much is at stake! I told you to repair it well. You must tidy it up before the finals, understand?”

“You’ve been a producer for too long. You really know how to command people.”

Chen Zui was obviously dissatisfied with his attitude and tone, but he did not argue further.

Footsteps sounded again as the group of them headed out the door.

At the same time, Xu Le was puzzled.

Why was he packing leftovers to study the recipe?

Wasn’t the method easy to obtain? It wasn’t anything confidential.

What did Chen Yeqi ask his brother to repair?

Mysteries one after another appeared in his head.

Xu Le did not have time to think carefully. He carefully walked out with his back bent, planning to return to his room first. He did not show his face just now. If he appeared now, it would definitely be awkward.

Behind him, Lu Yuxi suddenly gasped. Then, her hand slipped and the can hit the ground and rolled a few times.

It was quite a commotion.

Chen Yeqi heard a bang and immediately turned to walk towards the kitchen. He turned on the lights.

The headlights snapped on overhead. The light was blinding.

Chen Yeqi looked at the empty kitchen. There was only a can on the floor.

Chen Zui followed from behind and glanced at it coldly. “It’s just that a can that fell. What’s there to fuss about?”

Then he left.

Chen Yeqi walked around the kitchen again. After making sure that no one was hiding in the corner, he turned off the light and left.

On the other side, Xu Le had an idea. He remembered that after the results of the competition came out that day, he went to pull open the curtain of the kitchen. There was no one inside, which meant that there must be a back door in the kitchen.

However, coincidentally, the hidden back door that was only half a meter wide was set up where they were hiding.

“No wonder the fridge isn’t placed against the wall. I was just thinking it doesn’t make sense to leave such a huge area to collect dust. So there’s a door behind it.”

Lu Yuxi only spoke carefully after the footsteps had completely disappeared.

“Alright, it’s fine. It’s not a big deal if he finds out. Go back to sleep first.”

After Xu Le sent Lu Yuxi to the corridor, he chased after Chen Yeqi.

There were dark yellow spotlights a few meters away in the exhibition hall. When Xu Le walked to the door of a long corridor backstage, he heard voices coming from the room inside.

He relaxed and was about to step forward to listen when two figures appeared on the white door in front of him.

Xu Le’s heart skipped a beat. He turned around and met a pair of extremely familiar eyes.

Chen Zui smiled. “Little kid, what are you doing here?”
