The companies have gradually started their holidays, and now only the management companies and some artists are still having activities.
Qi Shuang still only has time during winter and summer vacations, and the company has also arranged a modern fashion drama for her.
Although Qi Shuang has had limited public exposure due to her schooling, she has taken on several small roles, which can be considered a period of accumulation.
This year, Shi Jing is spending the Lunar New Year in Dingdu again. Qi Shuang's fashion drama crew is also in Dingdu, so they agreed to come to Shi Jing's house to celebrate the New Year together after filming on New Year's Eve.
After finishing the new investment, Shi Jing stopped going to work.
She doesn't have much to do at home, so she just watches TV and pets her cat.
She brought her kitten, Tuantuan, with her when she came to Dingdu for the Chinese New Year.
Thanks to her aunt's care, Tuantuan has grown into a chubby big cat that feels wonderful to touch.
"Meow~ purr~" Tuan Tuan purrs when it feels good from being petted.
The kitten is very well-behaved and still very affectionate.
"Tuantuan, I'll take you to take a bath this afternoon. You should be clean and beautiful for the New Year."
She held the warm, fluffy ball of fur in her arms and gently touched its pink little nose.
With nothing to do in the afternoon, Shi Jing took Tuan Tuan to the pet store she had booked for a bath and deworming, and also bought some cat food and toys before returning home.
Shortly after I got back, Zhao Lianyu called.
It was only 4:30, but the other party was already very proactive.
After the call connected, Zhao Lianyu's gentle and magnetic voice came through: "Hello, Shi Jing. It's almost dinner time, let's have dinner together."
Shi Jing frowned slightly. They hadn't mentioned having dinner together yesterday.
"I didn't say that yesterday."
Although it's unclear why this person suddenly wants to have dinner together again, this sudden change is quite unpleasant.
"I'm so sorry, so sorry," Zhao Lianyu apologized repeatedly on the other end of the line. "It's my fault for not making arrangements beforehand. Um... are you available now?"
He spoke cautiously, as if Shi Jing had bullied him.
This reaction made Shi Jing even more displeased. For a moment, Shi Jing felt that it wasn't worth it to accept the other party's invitation just to test them.
If you can't tell whether the other person has ill intentions, you won't be able to eat in peace, right?
"I only have time after six o'clock. You tell me the location, and I'll go there myself."
“This…” Zhao Lianyu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, “Okay. I’ll send you the address, and I’ll wait for you at the door.”
"Um."
Shi Jing casually agreed, and after getting the address, she immediately contacted Lin Yu and Liang Qiu.
"Check this address for any issues. Also, send a few people to test Zhao Lianyu's true intentions."
Liang Qiu replied, "I was just about to contact you."
"What's wrong?"
“Our people planted a small virus in Zhao Lianyu’s phone before, and we heard some things about it today.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jing immediately realized that something was amiss.
"How so?"
"Xianhe Restaurant is a trap," Liang Qiu said seriously. "He wants to lure you into becoming a drug addict!"
"What!" Shi Jing was shocked. She never expected that Zhao Lianyu would have such a method.
“This is a serious matter, and we have already contacted the police.”
China has always had zero tolerance for drugs, and any citizen with awareness should actively report them.
As an ordinary citizen, Shi Jing understood that he had to contact the police in this matter, otherwise they couldn't bear the consequences.
"Have you found out who the person Zhao Lianyu contacted is?"
"This is still under investigation. Young boss, you'd better not attend the dinner party tonight," Lin Yu said.
Shi Jing understood that they were worried about her, but she was more interested in finding out who was targeting her from behind the scenes.
Life isn't comfortable when you have to bring bodyguards with you every time you go out.
"If I don't go, will they not show up?"
Lin Yu hesitated; he wasn't entirely sure about this. But from a soldier's perspective, he didn't want an ordinary person to take the risk.
“Here’s what we’ll do: you continue to monitor Zhao Lianyu’s phone calls. I’ll keep my appointment on time, and once I confirm the drugs are present, I’ll arrest him immediately.”
"Boss, I can't agree to that. We have to cooperate with the police. Let me check with the police."
"Okay, then go ahead."
Fortunately, Shi Jing quickly received a response from the other party.
You can participate, but you must be accompanied by plainclothes police officers.
Her role was more like bait; she wasn't actually that dangerous. But out of concern for ordinary citizens, the police certainly couldn't let Shi Jing take the risk.
Fortunately, Shi Jing usually has bodyguards with him, so it's not difficult to place people in his place.
"Once you get there, do not touch anything in the restaurant. Once the drug powder is confirmed, the police will make an immediate arrest."
"OK."
"You should also be wary of the restaurant staff. Zhao Lianyu chose this restaurant, so there's probably something wrong with it," Lin Yu earnestly advised.
"Uh-huh."
Shi Jing obediently agreed. She had promised Zhao Lianyu she would go over after six o'clock, and it was already almost five o'clock. Time was running out, and everyone needed to get ready.
After meeting with plainclothes officers arranged by the police, Shi Jing was given an in-ear headset so that he could contact the police at any time.
Things went very smoothly. When Shi Jing arrived at the scene, he saw Zhao Lianyu waiting at the door.
Zhao Lianyu paced anxiously at the restaurant entrance, looking back and forth. When he saw Shi Jing appear, his eyes lit up with surprise and joy.
"Shi Jing, you're here." He greeted him with a big smile.
"Hmm." Compared to Zhao Lianyu's enthusiasm, Shi Jing was much colder.
"Who are these two?" After welcoming Shi Jing, Zhao Lianyu looked at the two people next to Shi Jing with a little surprise.
"My bodyguard," Shi Jing replied casually. "Didn't you say we were going to eat?"
"Ah, yes, it's all arranged. I'll take you to the private room." As he spoke, Zhao Lianyu hesitated and looked at the two bodyguards, "Do they... need any other arrangements?"
"Not enough private rooms?"
"It's enough, but the table in the private room isn't very big, so it might be... a little inconvenient." Zhao Lianyu hesitated.
"It's okay, just squeeze in." Shi Jing said nonchalantly.
Seeing this, Zhao Lianyu didn't say anything more and led the three of them to the private room.
The private room was exquisitely decorated, with two-person tables facing each other. It was just right for two people; it would be a bit cramped with more than that.
In addition to the dining table, the private room also has a sizable sofa and coffee table.
According to Shi Jing, it was a waste for two people to use such a private room.
"We still have a sofa and coffee table, that's enough. Let's leave it at that."
"...Okay, I'll go call the waiter, please wait a moment."
Shi Jing nodded and let the other person leave.
