To protect her billion-dollar fortune, the newly widowed Su Jin is forced to get married again.
After the wedding, the two agreed not to interfere with each other and not to affect each other...
For the next few days, Su Jin would chat and laugh with Wang Keyi as they returned to the hotel together after filming each day.
The entire crew felt the two were a good match, and coupled with previous rumors online, everyone assumed they were dating.
Zheng Lin felt irritated every time he saw the two people walking away.
Seeing that his boss was eagerly waiting, Assistant Gao wanted to speak, but swallowed his words.
On the seventh day, Zheng Lin stood in front of the French windows, gazing into the distance. He lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and then asked for help: "Why aren't you saying anything? You usually have a lot of ideas."
Assistant Gao: "...I dare not have any ideas."
"I now allow you to have your own thoughts." Zheng Lin stared blankly at the half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, his mind filled with images of Su Jin and Wang Keyi together.
"Well then, I've said it. There are two reasons why the boss's wife is angry this time, and you need to resolve them one by one," Assistant Gao said, and then began to observe the boss's expression.
Seeing that she didn't frown or mention deducting wages, he dared to continue, "Firstly, Miss Bai has signed a contract with the Zheng Group, which gives her a significant advantage. How could she not be angry to have such a woman who is so eager to seduce you by her side?"
He paused again, looked at Zheng Lin for a few seconds, and wondered which words might suddenly touch a nerve with his boss. He had to be careful.
Zheng Lin thought about it carefully. Just like now, seeing Wang Keyi so close to Xiao Jin, he was also very angry. It was understandable that Xiao Jin was angry with him.
“That’s true.” Zheng Lin sighed, tapping the glass with his finger. “Then let’s terminate the contract. Let Bai Qingchi go as far away as possible.”
Assistant Gao couldn't help but remind him of a fact, "Boss, you said the same thing last time, that Miss Bai should be kept as far away as possible, and the result was..."
He lowered his eyes, glanced up at Zheng Lin's profile, and seeing his composed expression, continued, "But after only a few days of sending her away, he heard she wasn't doing well, so he brought her back. Being soft-hearted is fatal."
Zheng Lin reflected on himself, but he only did so because Elder Bai was soft-hearted and had shown him great kindness.
One year, he was ambushed and lost too much blood, so he was hospitalized. His blood was rare, and the elderly Bai donated his own blood to him.
He gradually recovered after that, but Old Bai was ill for a long time and died of a terminal illness two years later.
He always felt indebted to Mr. Bai, thinking that if he hadn't donated blood to him that time, he wouldn't have developed a terminal illness and wouldn't have died.
Before he died, Old Bai held his hand and told him to treat Qingchi as his younger sister and to take good care of her. He hoped that his spirit in heaven could see his daughter happy.
Therefore, it is really hard for him to completely abandon his younger sister Bai Qingchi. Even though she has made some mistakes, he always wants to give her a chance to correct them.
After some hesitation, Zheng Lin decided to skip this for now. "What else? You just said there were two points."
"During the period when the proprietress suffered from amnesia, something may have happened that she found difficult to accept. Putting ourselves in her shoes, she experienced a lot after losing her memory, but after regaining consciousness, she found that many things had changed. The proprietress needs some time to adjust and adapt."
Assistant Gao: "Could it be that she feels Wang Keyi is still the same to her as before, which is why she's so close to him? The boss's wife is friendly to everyone now, but she doesn't like you at all."
Zheng Lin said coldly, "You don't need to say the last sentence. Do you think I can't see it?"
Assistant Gao thought to himself: Yes, yes, you can see that, so why did you ask me for help?
Zheng Lin turned to look at Assistant Gao.
Assistant Gao suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression coming over him. This familiar feeling made him break out in a cold sweat. He quickly handed the coffee on the table to Zheng Lin and continued to guide the patient step by step like a psychologist.
"There must be a reason why the landlady doesn't like you. Did you do something really outrageous while she was suffering from amnesia?"
Zheng Lin raised his hand, and Assistant Gao brought over the ashtray, tossing the cigarette butt into it.
After a two-second silence, Zheng Lin picked up the coffee on the saucer, took a small sip, and continued gazing into the distance. "No."
Assistant Gao: "..." Have you even thought about it carefully? Just say no. This confidence is beyond the reach of most.
After a long period of deep thought, Zheng Lin said, "First, terminate the contract with Bai Qingchi, and then find her a company."
As for Wang Keyi, he could only continue to keep an eye on him.
So, in the middle of the night, Su Jin went out to have a late-night snack with Song Leilei, and Xu Jingzhi went along too, secretly sending a message to Zheng Lin.
But as soon as she got off the elevator, Su Jin went back to the hotel because Wang Keyi said he would make her a late-night snack. Lately, the three of them have been very close, like a group of best friends.
The late-night snack was made in Wang Keyi's room, and the door was closed.
No one welcomed him. Zheng Lin, dressed in his pajamas, could only stand outside the door and watch. "Have they become this familiar with each other?"
Assistant Gao yawned. "Boss, why don't you try knocking on the door? Maybe they'll accept you."
Zheng Lin said decisively, "No need. Just bring a chair over and I'll sit outside and wait. I'll see how long they plan to stay here."
Assistant Gao, dragging his tired body, moved a chair from the room on the upper floor and placed it one meter away from Wang Keyi's door.
Zheng Lin sat down, grinding his back teeth, his eyes practically bulging out of the door. He couldn't believe that a group of them could stay inside all night!
No one knew there was someone outside the door. Su Jin pulled Song Leilei to play games, and Song Leilei then pulled Xu Jingzhi along. The three of them played a game together.
By the time they finished playing a game, Wang Keyi had already filled the table with dishes, and the whole room was filled with their delicious aroma.
Song Leilei looked at the table full of light meals and gave a disgusted look. "We're just...eating this?"
Wang Keyi scratched his head sheepishly and looked at Su Jin: "Because you are filming right now, and considering that you actresses are always trying to maintain your figures, eating a late-night snack can easily cause water retention, which would affect the filming performance the next day."
Song Leilei didn't have this habit. She looked directly at Su Jin and joked with Wang Keyi, "Oh dear, actresses who maintain their figures, isn't that my Xiao Jin? You might as well just say that this was made especially for your Su Jin sister."
Su Jin doesn't have the habit of eating late at night. She has no appetite for light meals. She's used to being hungry and needs to be a little hungry at night to fall asleep peacefully.
When they have a late-night snack, Song Leilei always eats while she sits beside her.
Su Jin took a piece of lettuce, tore it off little by little, and chewed it slowly, while Song Leilei, as if she were starving, only picked out the meat to eat.
"It's too bland," Song Leilei said, picking up a shrimp.
"A lighter diet seems to be better for a girl's skin," Wang Keyi said with a bright smile.
Xu Jingzhi had no appetite for the light meal on the table and started another game instead.
