"When am I not busy?" Chi Baiyi said indifferently.
"Oh," Chi Nao replied emotionlessly, then said, "Dad, you need to learn to cook. We can't have Sister Qin cooking all by herself next time we participate in a program. Aren't you ashamed?"
Chi Baiyi "..."
He was somewhat speechless.
He was a formidable figure in the business world, always the one who left others speechless. Who would have thought that today he would be rendered speechless by his own daughter's question?
Chi Baiyi looked slightly embarrassed and decided to take control of the conversation, no longer allowing his daughter to continue.
"If Qin Yuanyao can't participate in the next episode, will you still participate?"
Chi Nai's expression changed dramatically, as if a mountain had collapsed and the earth had split open. She completely forgot about urging her father to learn cooking skills.
"Why can't Sister Qin participate in the next episode?" Chi Nao asked with wide eyes.
“She has some trouble to deal with right now. If she doesn’t handle it well, she won’t be able to participate in the next episode,” Chi Baiyi said.
"Trouble?" Chi Nao asked. "What trouble? Yu Xin?"
Chi Baiyi nodded approvingly, "Yes, but not entirely."
For example, Qin Yuanyao's agency also needs to be dealt with.
"Oh," Chi Nao's fair face was completely unconcerned. "Sister Qin will definitely be able to handle it and will definitely be able to participate in the next episode with us."
"Why are you so sure?" Chi Baiyi asked in a very calm tone.
"Because I believe in Sister Qin. I'm already super amazing, and Sister Qin is absolutely super amazing!" Chi Nao said solemnly.
That's what she believed.
Even ten years from now, Mom will be able to resolve the issues between her and Yu Xin. Now that Mom has her, Mom will definitely be able to resolve the issues between her and Yu Xin even faster and better.
"Dad, you should worry more about yourself. You really need to learn how to cook." Chi Nao's little brows furrowed, looking like she was trying to persuade him earnestly.
Chi, being lectured by her daughter, Bai Yi: "..."
Qin Yuanyao simply prepared five dishes: two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.
During the meal, Qin Yuanyao and Chi Baiyi, just like on the show, didn't talk much; Chi Baiyi was the one who spoke the most.
After finishing the meal, Chi Baiyi was about to clear the dishes.
Qin Yuanyao quickly stopped him, "No need, no need, I can do it, you are the guest."
"Why not?" Chi Nao said, "In the show, it's always Sister Qin who cooks and Dad who washes the dishes. Today, it's also Sister Qin who cooks, so Dad has to wash the dishes."
Qin Yuanyao explained, "In the show, we are a temporary family, an equal temporary family. But today, you and your dad are guests, and as the hostess, how can I let the guests wash the dishes?"
Chi Naozi understood, but she pouted, not quite agreeing.
"I'll wash them. You taught Cheese to write, so I should give back," Chi Baiyi said as she continued clearing the dishes.
Although Qin Yuanyao still felt it was inappropriate, she could only let him go.
Chi Baiyi rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his strong and powerful arms.
Through his experience on the show, he became more and more skilled at cleaning up the dishes.
His jawline was smooth and elegant, and his well-defined fingers lifted the bottoms of the bowls and plates, carrying them into the kitchen.
He had a broad and powerful back, and the hem of his shirt was tucked into his trousers, wrapping around his lean and sexy waist.
Qin Yuanyao was stunned.
For the first time, she realized that Chi Baiyi was not only handsome and had a great physique, but also quite charming.
Chi Nao followed Qin Yuanyao's gaze and looked at her father. She then leaned closer to Qin Yuanyao and whispered, "Sister Qin, isn't Daddy handsome?"
Qin Yuanyao's cheeks flushed; she hadn't expected a child to see through her thoughts.
She awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "Show me what you wrote while I was cooking."
"Okay!" Chi Nao's attention was diverted, and she ran off to get her calligraphy practice book.
Qin Yuanyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen, Chi Baiyi was about to leave with Chi Cheese.
Although Chi Nao wanted to stay a little longer, under her father's stern gaze, she obediently followed him home.
Before leaving, Chi Baiyi suddenly said to Qin Yuanyao, "Director Jiang said that many netizens have been protesting on the official Weibo account of Xiaojia these past few days. He will wait a few days to see how things go, including the second contract, which will also be put on hold for now."
Qin Yuanyao thought that Chi Baiyi would explain Director Jiang's meaning in more detail, but Chi Baiyi had already pressed the close button on the elevator and left with Chi Naozi in her hand.
Qin Yuanyao stared intently at the closing elevator doors, pondering Chi Baiyi's words.
Does Director Jiang mean he's waiting for her to handle the current situation?
If she doesn't handle this properly for a long time, he will listen to the opinions of netizens and won't renew her contract for a second term.
Qin Yuanyao's eyes suddenly hardened.
She was very grateful to Director Jiang for giving her time, and she would definitely handle the current situation as quickly as possible!
For no other reason than that, if she continues to work with Yu Xin and her current agency, she will only ruin herself, her future, and her reputation.
...
Qin Yuanyao quickly found a lawyer to consult on the relevant matters and entrusted the lawyer with the entire responsibility of terminating her contract with the agency.
Not long after, Yu Xin and Qin Yuanyao's agency, Yueyao Entertainment, both received court summons.
The next moment, Yu Xin made a phone call to Qin Yuanyao.
Before answering the call, Qin Yuanyao pointed her tablet at her phone and specifically recorded the time on the phone screen.
As soon as Qin Yuanyao swiped to answer the call, Yu Xin's angry voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Qin Yuanyao, you've gone too far! What does a court summons mean?! You've actually sued me and Yueyao?!"
Qin Yuanyao slowly smoothed her hair before speaking leisurely, "What do you mean? It's very clear on the court summons. My beliefs don't align with yours, and I demand unconditional termination of the contract."
Yu Xin laughed in anger, her laughter filled with utter contempt and mockery. "Now that you've gained some fame, you've gotten arrogant. You think you can just terminate your contract whenever you want? You think Yueyao's legal team is pushovers? You want to terminate your contract unconditionally? Hahaha, that's hilarious! How can you be so naive and stupid!"
"Go to court right now and withdraw your lawsuit, and Mr. Wei and I can pretend this never happened and let it go! Otherwise, Yueyao has plenty of ways to destroy you!"
"Sister Xin, this is a society governed by law. Why do you keep threatening to kill me? Have you done too many things that disregard the law and think you can really be above it?"
"Are you really going to terminate your contract with Yueyao?" Yu Xin asked in a gloomy tone.
