Mu Hai continued, "Cui Yi is also in N City, the same city as N University, where Zhao Lan studies. At first, he insisted that he and Zhao Lan got along well at the bar that night, so they agreed to go to a nearby hotel together. Later, after watching the surveillance footage, he admitted that Zhao Lan had been drinking and was not fully conscious, so he took her to a nearby hotel. When he left in the middle of the night, he noticed that the yellow mask was very special, so he took it."
Chi Baiyi responded with a faint, emotionless "hmm."
Mu Hai was also watching his boss and his daughter's variety show on his tablet at that moment.
He knew that Chi Baiyi couldn't say much under the live broadcast camera, so he asked, "Mr. Chi, would you like me to arrange a meeting between you and Cui Yi?"
After Mu Hai finished speaking, he stared at the boss's reaction on the tablet screen.
Chi Baiyi's cold and aloof face showed no sign of emotion.
The viewers in the live stream were completely captivated by his face, flooding the chat with comments.
[CEO Chi is so charming and handsome when he's working!]
The way CEO Chi works while making a phone call with one hand is just like the ultimate domineering CEO I've ever seen!
[As expected, a serious man is the most charming! A serious CEO like Mr. Chi is the most, most, most, most charming ever!]
[Boss Chi works, and I work too. In other words, I work alongside Boss Chi. I want to make as much money as Boss Chi!]
[Upstairs, I didn't expect that angle. I quickly pulled out my unfinished PowerPoint presentation too, so I can work with Boss Chi and make big money!]
【Work Together+】
"I'll message you later," Chi Baiyi said coldly before hanging up the phone.
Whether or not he needs to meet with Cui Yi, he needs to ask Chi Nao's opinion.
Chi Baiyi didn't rush to find Chi Nao Niang. Instead, he waited until the live broadcast ended that evening and all the cameras in the room were turned off before he went to find Chi Nao Niang.
At that time, Chi Nao was playing by herself in Qin Yuanyao's room.
"Cheese, I have something to tell you." As Chi Baiyi said this to Chi Cheese, he glanced at Qin Yuanyao out of the corner of his eye to see if she had noticed his conversation with Chi Cheese.
However, Qin Yuanyao was staring intently at her phone, completely oblivious to what he and Chi Nao were saying.
"There's been progress in the matter of the three of us—me, you, and Sister Qin—going to find Zhao Lan last time." Chi Baiyi deliberately emphasized the words "Sister Qin" and "the three of us."
Just as he expected, Qin Yuanyao raised her eyes from her phone and looked at him.
Chi Baiyi was quite satisfied, and then continued to Chi Naoqi, "We found the person who took Zhao Lan's Chenghuang mask. The person's name is Cui Yi. He said he thought the Chenghuang mask was very special, so he just took it. Would you like to meet him?"
Chi Nai's dark, almond-shaped eyes were already wide open.
Without hesitation, she nodded firmly. "Yes!"
"Dad, when can we meet that person? Is tomorrow okay?" Chi Nao asked impatiently.
After all, this person was someone whose fate was tied to that of her family of three ten years from now. If she could, she would love to meet that person right now!
"I'll have Uncle Mu make the arrangements." After saying that, Chi Baiyi made a phone call to Mu Hai in front of them.
Mu Hai quickly made the arrangements, sending the meeting place and location for tomorrow afternoon to Chi Baiyi's phone.
"We'll finish our tasks for the program tomorrow morning, and then we'll meet that person in the afternoon," Chi Baiyi said to Chi Naozi.
Chi Nai's face lit up with joy, "Okay!"
She turned her head to ask Qin Yuanyao to go with them, but Chi Baiyi spoke first.
"Miss Qin, why don't you come with us tomorrow afternoon?"
Chi Baiyi didn't ask her if she wanted to go, but directly invited her to "go together".
“Cheese would really like you to come with us,” Chi Baiyi added.
Chi Naozi glanced at her father with a meaningful look on her face.
Although she really wanted her mother to come with them, this was the first time her father had ever invited her mother.
It seems like Dad is treating Mom a little differently now.
Does Dad like Mom more and more?
As Chi Nao thought about this, the expression on her face became increasingly meaningful, as if she had discovered a huge secret.
And this secret made her incredibly happy.
Her eyes crinkled with laughter. "Yes! Sister Qin, you're coming with us!"
Qin Yuanyao looked at Chi Naozi's smiling face, which seemed to hold a big secret, with great suspicion.
Why is Chi Cheese laughing like that?
Her father didn't seem to say anything.
Qin Yuanyao only thought about it briefly and didn't take it to heart.
She had gone to find Cheng Huang Mask with Chi Nao and Chi Baiyi before, and she would naturally go with them this time if they wanted to.
"Okay," Qin Yuanyao replied.
She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Should we tell Zhao Lan about our meeting with Cui Yi?"
"You can make the decision," Chi Baiyi said.
He didn't care about or want to get involved in anything that had nothing to do with Chi Nia.
Qin Yuanyao hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to tell Zhao Lan about it.
As for what Zhao Lan will do after she finds out, that's her own business.
Qin Yuanyao called Zhao Lan, but Zhao Lan didn't answer, perhaps because she was busy with something else.
So Qin Yuanyao sent a text message to Zhao Lan, telling her that they had found Cui Yi and the time and place to meet Cui Yi the next afternoon.
...
The new day's live stream started at 7:00 AM.
As instructed by the production team, all the guests wore long sleeves and trousers.
Director Jiang announced that today's task was to pick peaches and then sell them at the town market.
The guest group that picks the most peaches will receive a reward, as will the guest group that sells out of peaches first in town.
No wonder the production team made the guests wear long sleeves and pants today. Picking peaches definitely requires long sleeves and pants; the peach fuzz can be really itchy if it gets on your skin.
According to Director Jiang, the guests will receive two awards today?
Don't you think the two rewards are contradictory? The person who picks the most peaches is most likely to sell them the last! So if the guests want to get the reward for picking the most peaches, they can't get the reward for selling the fastest.
【Yeah! I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it!】
[The production team probably set this up on purpose, wanting all the guest groups to receive a reward today. I see that only the Guo family and the Feng family have some money left; the other three groups have less than five yuan each… If they don't find a way to ensure all the guests receive a reward, they'll have no choice but to ask the production team for credit.]
The production team's "generous" choice of setting up two reward tasks is almost pointless; they should have just given the guests more family assets from the start (smile).
Do you think the production team, being so conscientious, will still make the guests buy peach-picking tools today?
