Bai Yue turned to look at Yan Qiao, "What exactly do you want? You know perfectly well... why did you bring her here?"

Yan said calmly, "From today onwards, Sister Lu Qi will be my assistant, and she will be working with me here. If you have any complaints... don't tell me, just keep them to yourself."

Chen Ge: "!!!" Are you crazy?

Bai Yue sneered, "You can't even tell right from wrong, hiring someone like this? Yan Qiao, you'll regret this!"

Yan Qiao told Lu Qi to sit down, "Then let's wait until I regret it. Bai Yue, why are you so possessive? You don't want a manager, but you won't let me hire one?"

Su Ya explained gently, "Yan Qiao, it's not like that, Bai Yue just..."

Yan Qiao coldly interrupted, "Miss Su Ya, if you like to be talkative, I won't be able to resist being talkative either. If I say something I shouldn't, please don't mind."

Su Ya's face turned pale, she clenched her fists tightly, and gritted her teeth.

"I understand, I won't say anything, okay?"

Yan Qiao grasped her weakness: the world has zero tolerance for mistresses who interfere in other people's marriages.

Bai Yue and Yan Qiao are like rivals, and news of their discord has quietly become a trending topic.

At that moment, Qian Meng arrived.

Qian Meng knew Bai Yue's personality and was worried that she might mess up during the live stream, so she came over to keep an eye on her.

Yan Qiao picked up her phone and glanced at it. Seeing that it was Qian Meng, she casually said, "Your agent is here."

Then I pressed the remote door open button.

Bai Yue bit her lip, somewhat displeased: "Guests are welcome, shouldn't you go out to greet them?"

Yan chuckled and showed her the trending topics.

"Look, the whole internet knows that I don't get along with you. How can your agent be considered a guest to me? Even if he is a guest, he is at most an uninvited guest."

Bai Yue's face turned ashen. If she hadn't remembered Qian Meng's instructions, she would have already turned hostile.

Yan Qiao, relying on her large fan base, showed her absolutely no respect.

Qian Meng was unaware of what had happened and walked in with a smile.

Then he saw Lu Qi, paused, and looked rather unwell.

What a small world!

Qian Meng adjusted her expression, walked up to Yan Qiao, and extended her hand.

"Hello Yan Qiao, I'm Qian Meng, Bai Yue's agent. Thank you for taking good care of me these past few days."

Yan Qiao didn't hold her hand, and suddenly realized, slapping her forehead: "You reminded me, I just shook hands with Bai Yue and forgot to wash my hands, I'll go wash them now."

Qian Meng awkwardly withdrew her hand and looked at Bai Yue.

Now I understand why she looked so pale.

It seems that he doesn't get along well with Yan Qiao.

Yan Qiao finished washing her hands and came out just as the furniture she had ordered arrived.

Yan Qiao directed them to move into the side room and began to decorate Lu Qi's bedroom.

Bai Yue walked over; after all, they still had two days to spend together, and things couldn't get too tense.

She took the initiative and said, "I really like this room. Why don't you let me and Su Ya stay here?"

Su Ya felt utterly exhausted. Knowing her own limitations, she didn't dare to speak.

Yan Qiao scoffed, "What are you dreaming about in broad daylight? Your rooms are over there, there's no room for you here."

Bai Yue: "...Was that for Qian Mengzhu?"

Yan Qiao rolled her eyes at her. "In my eyes, she's the same as you."

Bai Yue promptly shut up.

After the room was set up, Yan Qiao waved to Lu Qi.

"Sister Lu Qi, come and see if you like this room."

Only then did everyone realize that this room was prepared for Lu Qi.

Qian Meng has come to terms with the current situation; it seems Yan Qiao really dislikes Bai Yue.

She pulled Bai Yue aside and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Did you offend someone?"

Bai Yue bit her lip in grievance, "I've barely even spoken a few words to her!"

"Then why does she dislike you so much?"

Bai Yue glared at Lu Qi's retreating figure. "Isn't it all because of her? We just fired Lu Qi, and the moment the clock struck, Yan Qiao hired her."

Qian Meng's expression changed slightly. "You mean Lu Qi came to work here?"

"yes."

Qian Meng felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She and Lu Qi graduated in the same year. They compared themselves when they were in school, and they are still comparing themselves after they entered the workforce.

Later, Lu Qi helped Bai Yue rise to prominence and surpass her, and Qian Meng tried every means to snatch Bai Yue away.

I thought Lu Qi would never be able to turn her life around, but I never expected that she would come to Yan Qiao's side.

I feel like I've been outshone by her again.

She hesitated for a long time, but still walked up to Yan Qiao.

"Yan Qiao, there's something I'm not sure if I should say..."

Yan Qiao said calmly, "Then don't say it, I don't want to hear it anyway."

Qian Meng: "..."

"Even if you don't want to hear it, I still have to remind you a few things. Lu Qi is not a good person. I think you'd better find out what she's done in the past."

Lu Qi was standing right there, and Qian Meng didn't intend to hide anything from her, speaking directly to her.

I thought I'd see her change her expression, but she had a pretty good mental fortitude and ignored me completely.

Yan Qiao stared at Qian Meng for a moment, her face turning cold, making Qian Meng feel uneasy.

“I don’t know what Lu Qi did, but I know very well what you did.”

These words struck Qian Meng like a thunderbolt, leaving her flustered.

She turned around abruptly, met Bai Yue's gaze, and saw fear on the other's face.

At this moment, Pei Jingzhan came out.

He put on the SpongeBob SquarePants mask that Yan Qiao had prepared for him, which clashed completely with his aloof demeanor and looked somewhat comical.

"What's this for?" He glanced at the side room.

Yan Qiao pointed at Lu Qi: "From now on, she will be my assistant, and you two will be colleagues."

Pei Jingzhan's eyes darkened, which meant that the courtyard house would no longer be a world for just the two of them.

Lu Qi felt a chill in her heart and dared not meet his gaze.

How can Yan Qiao, this cameraman, be so terrifying?

Pei Jingzhan asked, "How much salary do you pay her?"

Yan Qiao held up three fingers.

Qian Mengyi was delighted: "Three thousand?"

Yan Qiao chuckled, "These days, who's going to be a sucker and take a salary of three thousand? That's three times her original salary!"

Pei Jingzhan scoffed, "The sucker is right here."

Yan Qiao: "..." Oh no.

[Haha, the cameraman's salary is only 3,000!]

[Without comparison, there's no harm done; you can feel the resentment even through the screen.]

[Cameraman: In the end, I was the one who got sucked out and took all the blame.]

Yan Qiao pouted and pulled his hand, saying, "Why are you comparing yourself to Sister Lu Qi? I just bought you this watch yesterday, it cost over 6 million. Why don't you include that in your salary?"

Everyone was shocked and looked at Pei Jingzhan's hand.

Good heavens, he actually wore 6 million on his hand!

Wow, that's a huge wow!

[Over 6 million?! Did I hear that right?!]

[It can't be over six hundred yuan, can it... Waaah, poverty limits my imagination.]

[Insider information: This watch did indeed cost over 6 million yuan; it was purchased by Yan Qiao yesterday at the Yongyi International Auction. It's no secret.]

I've also heard that Yan Qiao alone bid on items worth nearly 30 million.

[Rich lady, please take me in!]

People were wondering what kind of man would be kept by a woman.

Now they know, it's the man they envy!

A watch worth over 6 million? I can have it!

Qian Meng's tears flowed into her heart. Three times the salary, I can do that too!
