Chapter 124 Solving the Trouble

Is she dreaming?

She must have been too angry, so she acted the wrong way. Otherwise, how could she have seen her best friend's idol at her doorstep?

Just as Qi Xi was beginning to doubt herself, the knocking on the door sounded again.

There was a video surveillance camera next to the entrance. With trembling hands, Qi Xi turned on the camera.

She wasn't dreaming; Zhou Heran was standing right there at the door, just a door away from her.

Qi Xi originally thought that the opportunity to meet Zhou Heran at the concert last time was already a stroke of luck from God, who took pity on her because of her unfortunate fate.

Unexpectedly, after such a short time, I saw Zhou Zhou again!

This is just like Alice in Wonderland!

Qi Xi pinched herself hard.

It hurts so much! This isn't a dream, it's real!

She forced herself to calm down and took several deep breaths.

He opened the door again, trying to control his excitement and greet him with a smile that didn't seem out of place: "Mr. Zhou."

"Miss Qi, have I come to the right place? Or have I disturbed you?"

Otherwise, how come he didn't even have a chance to speak before the other party closed the door?

Qi Xi waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now. I thought it was someone else and wanted to give them a lecture, but I didn't expect it to be Mr. Zhou."

"I thought I was just too excited and was hallucinating, so I instinctively closed the door. I'm so sorry!"

With that, Qi Xi gave Zhou Heran a deep 90-degree bow.

This startled Zhou Heran, who quickly helped the other woman up. "No, I was just joking. Miss Qi, you don't need to be so polite."

"No, no, no, this is my problem."

"It's okay, it's not your fault."

After the two exchanged some polite words, Zhou Heran broke the ice first: "How about this, we each take half? Or, shall we go inside and talk?"

Zhou Heran found the little girl's absent-mindedness rather endearing.

Actually, he had already figured it out. Qi Xi hadn't closed the door on purpose. On the contrary, it was very likely that she had seen him and was so excited that she subconsciously closed the door, actually hiding behind it to calm herself down.

After all, Zhou Heran had seen many fans who were extremely excited when they saw him, and there were even cases where some fans fainted from excitement.

Qi Xi then realized how embarrassing she had been and quickly invited Zhou Heran in.

"Mr. Zhou, is there something important that you're visiting today?"

Zhou Heran nodded. "I came here because of the negative news trending on social media today."

Qi Xi misunderstood, thinking that Zhou Heran had come to settle scores with Yu Li, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, please believe me, all those negative stories on the trending topics are fake."

"It was a colleague of Lili's at the station who was jealous of Lili's good programs. In order to prevent the smooth broadcast of tomorrow's program, he bribed a marketing account to deliberately spread bad news and smear Lili."

As he spoke, Qi Xi raised his hand and swore, "I swear on my ancestors for eighteen generations that Li Li has absolutely not done anything to cause any scandals. It's all just that marketing accounts seized on a few things and deliberately distorted the facts!"

Before Zhou Heran could even speak, the little girl in front of him started babbling on and on, even swearing oaths to her ancestors for eighteen generations, which made him burst out laughing.

"Of course I'm not here to settle scores with Miss Yu. On the contrary, I'm here to help Miss Yu solve her problems."

Qi Xi blinked, realizing she had misunderstood the other person's intentions, and blushed with embarrassment, quickly leading the way.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry. Lili can't get out of bed easily due to health reasons. Mr. Zhou, this way please."

In her haste, Qi Xi tripped on the steps while going upstairs.

I stumbled and thought I was going to fall flat on my face.

Fortunately, Zhou Heran was quick enough to reach out and catch her in time.

"Don't worry, I'm here. This little bit of dirt can be taken care of easily and will definitely not affect Miss Yu."

Zhou Heran and Qi Xi almost tripped because they were worried that Yu Li was in such a hurry that she wasn't watching where she was going.

But actually, it was because being alone with him made Qi Xi so nervous that her breathing became very rapid.

Especially when the other person casually helped her up, their fingers landing on her arm.

Although it was through clothing, the contact felt like direct skin-to-skin contact, making Qi Xi feel so ashamed that she felt like she was on fire.

"I know, I just wasn't looking where I was going and made Mr. Zhou laugh at me."

They finally arrived at the bedroom door without incident. Qi Xi pushed the door open and went in first, quickly winking at Yu Li.

"Lili, Mr. Zhou has come to see you."

Mr. Zhou?

Before Yu Li could even process what her best friend meant in those two quick blinks, she was also a little confused when she heard her friend mention Mr. Zhou.

"Miss Yu, I haven't disturbed your rest, have I?"

Upon seeing Zhou Heran's handsome face, Yu Li instantly understood why her best friend had stormed downstairs but returned with a radiant smile.

It's amazing that my best friend didn't faint from excitement when her idol arrived; that shows how strong-willed she was.

"Mr. Zhou, what brings you here? Please have a seat."

Zhou Heran sighed, feigning concern: "It's all because of some guy on the other side of the ocean who found out his wife was being hacked online, so he had his secretary call me in a panic."

“I have to resolve this within two hours, or I’ll be expelled from my brotherhood.”

Although Zhou Heran's words contained an element of exaggeration, Yu Li couldn't quite manage a laugh.

Because she knew that Qi Chenyan's trip abroad this time was very busy.

There's hardly any time to rest. When I was on business trips before, I could always find time to make video calls at night, but this time I didn't even have time for a video call.

Even so, Qi Chenyan would still call Yu Li every night before she went to sleep.

However, he always finished work too late, and because he was abroad, there was a time difference between him and Yu Li.

When it's daytime for him, it's already nighttime for Yu Li, and he doesn't want to disturb his wife's sleep.

So he could only call Yu Li just before she went to bed, and they could only chat for a few minutes before he had to get back to work.

Yu Li originally didn't plan to tell Qi Chenyan about being attacked online by marketing accounts; she intended to handle it herself.

Unexpectedly, the other party, despite being very busy, still found out about the news. Although he couldn't spare the time himself, he still had his secretary contact Zhou Heran immediately.

Just this thoughtfulness alone is enough to warm Yu Li's heart.

"I see. But it's still kind of you, Mr. Zhou, to make this special trip. Do you have a better solution?"
