Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 288: Head to Head

Mu Jingzhe also realized that their gazes were a little strange and quickly stood in front of Bai Bai. “Why are you looking at him like that? It’s scary.”

Ji Buwang, who was initially quite calm, didn’t look so good when he saw that Mu Jingzhe was actually so protective of Bai Bai. “Jingzhe, who is this?”

“My client, Little Bei’s older brother in the movie. He wanted customized formal evening wear, so he came to our house for me to take his measurements.” Speaking of that, Mu Jingzhe remembered that she was supposed to be taking measurements and smiled apologetically at Bai Bai.

“Sorry, I didn’t see the number just now. I’ll measure you again. It’ll be over soon.”

Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang’s expressions relaxed when they heard that. A trace of regret flashed across Ji Buwang’s eyes. They were too paranoid. Upon thinking about it, it made sense. Little Bei and Shao Dong were still around. What could have happened?

Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang. “Wait for me for a while. I’ll be done soon.”

“Okay.” Shao Qihai agreed obediently.

Ji Buwang said, “I’ll help too.”

After saying that, he walked over and took the measuring tape. “Are you measuring his waist?”

Mu Jingzhe only responded with an “Mm” before Ji Buwang directly got to work, not giving Mu Jingzhe a chance to do it herself. Although he knew that this was Mu Jingzhe’s job, he still felt jealous seeing them standing so close to each other.

As an actor, Bai Bai was actually already used to being measured, so he didn’t think too much of it. However, after Ji Buwang and Shao Qihai appeared, no matter how slow Bai Bai was, he realized something was wrong based on their sharp gazes.

Before he could say anything, Ji Buwang had already started measuring him.

Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang had outstanding looks, which gave Bai Bai a certain amount of pressure. However, when he saw Ji Buwang approaching and looking more like a celebrity, one more fashionable and good-looking than him, Bai Bai felt even more bitter.

Who was the real celebrity here?!

He couldn’t help but hold his breath. When Ji Buwang sensed it, he patted him. “Relax.”

Ji Buwang looked at the measuring tape and reported the number to Mu Jingzhe. “Is there anything else?”

“Leg length.” Mu Jingzhe looked at Ji Buwang and was about to say that she could do it herself, but Ji Buwang had already squatted down.

Looking at Ji Buwang’s long legs, Bai Bai instantly felt that the long legs he had always been proud of weren’t enough. Ji Buwang’s measurements seemed to be even better than his.

He glanced in Shao Qihai’s direction, and Shao Qihai was also looking at him. He had been a step slower just now and had almost asked Mu Jingzhe to continue helping him measure. Fortunately, Ji Buwang reacted quickly.

He was a little vexed, but he couldn’t help but want to help do something. Bai Bai looked over and raised his eyebrows, his gaze questioning.

However, Bai Bai’s gaze landed on his arm, and his eyes were filled with envy. Such beautiful lines. Although he was wearing clothes, his summer clothes were thin, and one could vaguely see the muscular lines under them. He was definitely sturdy and strong.

Bai Bai had a slim figure and was very envious of such beautiful, not exaggerated muscles. His boss often said that one shouldn’t look fat with clothes on but brawny when the clothes were taken off. This person clearly fit the criteria.

Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang had two different styles. Ji Buwang had a good disposition, cold and fair skin, and was fashionable. He was more like a celebrity than him, while Shao Qihai had the cool guy look. He was very envious of both styles.

Due to the appearance of Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang, Bai Bai felt a little inferior. He also had good judgment. After getting his measurements taken, he didn’t say much and just left.

Ji Buwang and Shao Qihai both heaved a sigh of relief, while Mu Jingzhe was very puzzled. “Why did you come together? And why did you come early?”

Shao Xi’s second travelogue was about to be published. This time, he was coming to Ocean City to participate in a reading session, which was also an exchange between the new generation of young authors. They’d been originally scheduled to only arrive tomorrow.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, wanted to come to Ocean City to meet the director and see if they could collaborate on the soundtrack for the movie. Previously, Xiao Wu had done a great job of composing accompaniment music for movies, and he was now considered famous in the industry.

Although he was too young and many people had concerns, there were also many people who thought highly of him. Since Little Bei was participating in the movie this time, the director took this opportunity to interact with Mu Jingzhe and see if he could invite Xiao Wu over again.

Since Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei were there, Xiao Wu naturally agreed and came over eagerly.

Of course, other than coming to see if they could work together, Xiao Wu had also come to Ocean City to participate in a children’s music festival. It was summer vacation, and Xiao Wu’s plan to take a look around was still the same. Shao Qihai had been taking care of him for a period of time. This time, Ji Buwang had said that he had time to come over as well, but the schedule had been brought forward.

Shao Qihai and Ji Buwang couldn’t very well say that they had set off early because they wanted to spend more time with her. Unexpectedly, they had thought of the same thing and ended up meeting on the plane. They could only say that they’d happened to have tickets and had come over early.

“Where’s Little Nan?” Mu Jingzhe asked Shao Qihai as she nodded.

“Little Nan is with Mom and the rest. He said that the weather is hot, so he can read books and keep Grandma and the rest company.”

Upon hearing Shao Qihai call Li Zhaodi ‘Mom’, Ji Buwang gritted his teeth and interrupted. “Jingzhe, I’m thirsty.”

Mu Jingzhe quickly poured some water for Ji Buwang. Shao Qihai also said that he was thirsty, and the minute he spoke, Shao Dong handed him a glass of water. “Drink this, Daddy.”

Shao Qihai: “…”

Little Dong was really nice, but he also wanted to drink the water Jingzhe was pouring.

After drinking the water, Ji Buwang said, “Your customization business seems to be doing quite well. Are all the customers like the young man we saw earlier?”

“Something like that. There are girls as well.”

“I see.” Ji Buwang now knew that Mu Jingzhe was working with a lot of good-looking people.

Besides, in the future, she would still take measurements like today unless she found an assistant. However, even if there was an assistant, Mu Jingzhe would still have to take the measurements of important customers herself.

Ji Buwang reacted quickly and added, “I also want to order customized clothes from you, Jingzhe.” He also wanted to wear clothes made by Jingzhe. He wanted to be measured this way too.

“Sure.” Mu Jingzhe nodded, thinking that Ji Buwang was just curious. Given Ji Buwang’s appearance and figure, it would be nice to work with him.

“Then it’s settled.” Ji Buwang smiled.

Shao Qihai reacted and quickly said, “I want clothes too.” Mu Jingzhe looked at her notebook. “It’s possible, but we might have to postpone it for a while.”

“We’ll push it back then.” Shao Qihai stepped forward. “Do you want to take my measurements now?” After saying that, he opened his arms very cooperatively.

Ji Buwang scoffed. “What’s the hurry? I’m still waiting. No matter what, it’s first come, first served. Jingzhe, take my measurements first.”

“Let me help you. Jingzhe, just tell me what I need to measure.” Shao Qihai grabbed the measuring tape as he spoke.

“Are you sure you know how to do it?”

“Of course.” Neither Shao Qihai nor Ji Buwang would let Mu Jingzhe measure the other. In the end, the two of them measured each other.

Mu Jingzhe: “…”

Their actions were known in television dramas as signs of jealousy and going head to head. When one watched this on television, they might think it was fun and enjoyable, but now that it was happening in real life, Mu Jingzhe didn’t know what to do.

After all, she had no experience.

Seeing that they were at odds with each other but their relationship was alright, Mu Jingzhe finally kicked them out and told them to stay in the hotel after arranging their dinner.
