Chapter 367 Reasons for Going Out
Zhou Cong met Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes, which were suspicious for a moment and then calmed down. He explained, "I have to go out for business, not to test you."
Ye Qiaoqiao just glanced at him, neither saying whether she believed it nor whether she didn't.
Zhou Chong glanced at him and continued, "After I leave this time, I will still arrange for someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry."
"Aren't you worried that I'll run away?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked sarcastically.
Zhou Chong was not angry at what Ye Qiaoqiao said. He even used an indulgent tone, "Qiaoqiao, you know your body well. If you leave, I think the danger will be higher than if you stay with me. After all, I haven't found a medicine to cure your illness yet. Even if you don't like me, you won't hurt your body just because you're angry with me."
"I also told you bluntly that no one except me can help you buy medicine for your illness, not even your father."
"You don't want your father to spend all his fortune on you and end up owing hundreds of thousands, right?"
When Zhou Cong said this, Ye Qiaoqiao frowned. She naturally didn't want her father to be in debt because of his medical treatment. Although she could paint, it would take her twenty years to work to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not to mention, she might not be able to find medicine to cure her body.
Maybe I'll have to take medicine for the rest of my life.
But Ye Qiaoqiao never thought about living a life imprisoned by Zhou Cong forever.
However, she was not impulsive. She really needed to think about how to make money independently after leaving Zhou Chong, not to burden her father, and to let her father live a good life.
Ye Qiaoqiao was so absorbed in thinking about these things that she didn't even hear Zhou Cong talking to her.
Zhou Chong knew she had heard what she said from her dazed look.
The next day, Ye Qiaoqiao went downstairs to have breakfast. Zhou Cong stayed with her until breakfast was over. Then he picked up his briefcase and left home with his assistant.
Ye Qiaoqiao found that there were not many people at home, and the only one left was the bodyguard who was responsible for protecting her.
However, what surprised her was.
As soon as Zhou Chong left, Damon came to the door.
"Teacher Damon?" Ye Qiaoqiao stepped aside to let him in. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to ask about your participation in the competition." Damon sent his bodyguards away and spoke to Ye Qiaoqiao alone in the living room. "I arranged for someone to keep an eye on Zhou Chong. When I learned that he had left, I came to find you."
Ye Qiaoqiao: "..." Did Damon think that after Zhou Chong left, he would come to him and he would be able to decide whether to participate in the competition?
"Teacher Damon, look, the bodyguards are still here." Ye Qiaoqiao raised her eyes and motioned him to look at the female bodyguard and others who were carrying hot tea.
Upon hearing this, Damon didn't care about the bodyguards. He said casually, "You don't need to think about these things. You just need to think about whether or not to participate in the competition."
"Yes!" Ye Qiaoqiao didn't need to hesitate at all.
She knew that the chances of successfully participating in the competition were slim, but she was still prepared to leave Zhou Chong.
Therefore, with such an incident in front to divert Zhou Chong's attention, she might be able to ask Du Yasheng for help more smoothly.
Of course, it would be the best if she could really participate in the competition. Now she is short of money. Ye Qiaoqiao is willing to become famous and make more money by selling her paintings. After all, Zhou Cong can't stop others from buying her paintings.
Zhou Chong's power is not that high.
Therefore, it would be better for her not to use her real name at the beginning, but to use her stage name to participate in the competition, so as to appease Zhou Chong.
"That's good. I knew you must love painting, and you have great talent. It would be a waste if you missed such a good opportunity."
Mr. Demon was instantly delighted when he received the answer that Ye Qiaoqiao had prepared.
"From now on, Qiao Qiao, you should start preparing for the preliminary round of drawings." Damon waved his hand and said immediately.
Ye Qiaoqiao was somewhat helpless, "Mr. Demon, it will take at least a week for me to paint a picture."
"It doesn't matter." Damon said mysteriously, "Why do you think Zhou Cong left?"
"Isn't it because of business?" Ye Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, business matters, haha." Damon laughed.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at his winking expression and instantly thought of the foreigner's identity and family background. It should not be difficult for him to embarrass Zhou Chong. Not to mention that Zhou Chong was not in a hurry, so the business should not be a problem.
Therefore, Damon only caused some trouble for Zhou Chong. Since it was not a serious injury, Zhou Chong could only solve it by himself without asking for help from others.
Ye Qiaoqiao had seen Zhou Chong make several phone calls at home, so she naturally guessed that he must have someone behind him.
"Okay!" Ye Qiaoqiao came back to her senses and agreed immediately.
"Qiao, just focus on painting. I will live here and guide you. I believe no one will dare to stop you." Damon's words were obviously deliberately said to the female bodyguard next to him who had a dissatisfied look on her face.
The female bodyguard smiled reluctantly. "Mr. Demon, my husband doesn't know about this. Look... isn't it inappropriate for you to stay? After all, Miss Ye is our husband's partner."
"I am Qiao's teacher. I will go and choose a guest room to stay in. With so many bodyguards like you here, are you still afraid that Qiao and I are not innocent? There is something wrong with your brains. Don't slander us." Damon is a pure artist. He doesn't care about giving people face at all. He only cares about painting.
If Ye Qiaoqiao wasn't really talented in painting, he wouldn't have come up with so many ideas. And the more satisfied he was with Ye Qiaoqiao, the more dissatisfied he became with Zhou Cong and the bodyguards he arranged for him.
"...Mr. Demon..." The female bodyguard tried to say something to stop him.
Damon glared at her angrily and said, "Just call Zhou Chong. I believe he is more sensible than you."
The female bodyguard was a little angry at being humiliated so rudely by Mr. Demond. After handing Ye Qiaoqiao to other bodyguards to watch over her, she angrily called Zhou Chong.
Zhou Chong was silent when he received the call.
"Sir, it looks like Mr. Demon must stay, and Miss Ye has also agreed to participate in the competition. She broke her promise to you. What should we do now?"
"Wait until I come back. Before that, just do it as usual. There is no need to stop me." Zhou Cong said in a deep voice.
The female bodyguard opened her eyes wide in surprise. She wanted to say something but found that the phone had been hung up.
The following week.
Ye Qiaoqiao did not go out and did not see Du Yasheng.
Since Du Yasheng didn't come to her house, it was obvious that he either didn't understand the previous hints, or didn't agree, or there was no work for her to do.
So Ye Qiaoqiao was not in a hurry.
After all, she didn't want to affect her relationship with Du Yasheng.
What she needed to do most now was to complete the painting that Damon assigned to her.
Damon had high hopes for her and sent Zhou Cong out specifically for her to participate in the competition. However, the rough sketch that Ye Qiaoqiao had just drawn did not meet Damon's requirements.
Even though Damon was nice to her, he was not polite at all when it came to teaching her painting skills and was obviously a strict teacher.
