After that night, everything seemed to return to normal.
He and she are both pursuing careers.
The two of them were still secretly dating, giving each other small gifts every now and then, just like all ordinary couples in the honeymoon period.
As if nothing happened.
A month passed like this and then it snowed.
The first snow in City A this winter came too late, not until the end of December.
The snowflakes fell to the bare ground with a rustling sound, like children returning home after playing.
The door was pushed open and a gust of cold wind blew in my face.
Pei Xingyue, who was sipping the low-sugar milk tea ordered by Jiang Ye and reading the script, subconsciously shrank into her cotton coat.
"Is the temperature dropping again? It's getting colder and colder."
Xiao Xiaoxiao came in, shook off the snowflakes on her body, and handed the lunch box to Pei Xingyue.
"Sister Xingyue, it's snowing.
It’s killing me! How can it be so cold when it’s snowing?
If the snow melts tomorrow, you'll freeze like a fool."
"It's snowing, perfect for staying home.
What a pity, I haven’t finished my work yet and have to go out.
Come on, you and I are both hard-working workers."
It was snowing, so many outdoor scenes couldn't be filmed properly, so we spent the entire afternoon shooting indoor scenes.
After finishing a day's filming, the director suddenly announced the holiday.
The staff were talking about it.
"Hey, vacation? It's snowing and New Year's Day, great, I can stay home again."
"Long live the director! I've never seen a crew that's been rushed get a day off. Everyone wants to live on the set."
"Haha, our crew invested a lot of money in this drama, and it's very popular, so it's understandable that it would be a slump for two days."
"Oh, nonsense. It has nothing to do with that. The main reason is that our crew is on a fast track.
The director still has at least two or three episodes in stock, so he can show them for a week, not to mention two days."
"Happy, thanks to the actors for having fewer NGs (retakes due to missed shots), which gave us the opportunity to have a day off."
Amidst the lively discussion about the holiday, Pei Xingyue and Xiao Xiaoxiao got into the car that came to pick them up.
"Sister Xingyue, has your mouth ever been blessed?
You said it was a good time to stay home, and now I'm actually on vacation."
"I said I don't know, do you believe me?"
"Don't believe it, miracles will happen every month, and the law will follow the words."
"...As long as you're happy."
After returning home, Pei Xingyue thought about it and realized that it seemed like it had been a long time since she had eaten with Jiang Ye.
He seems to be very busy recently. I wonder if he will have a holiday on New Year's Day.
After hesitating for a while, she finally called Jiang Ye.
It’s so late, they shouldn’t be busy.
The phone rang busy for a while before Jiang Ye's tired voice came through the receiver.
"Hey, Yueyue, what's wrong?"
"Aye, are you still busy? Did I disturb you..."
"It's okay, I'm not busy, you go ahead."
"Aye, are you free on New Year's Day?"
There was silence on the other end for a long time, so long that Pei Xingyue wondered if the call had been hung up.
"I'm free, what's wrong?"
"Can I have lunch with you on New Year's Day? I want to cook hot pot with you at home.
If you're busy, forget it. I can handle it. I don't really need you to accompany me. Don't let it interfere with your work."
"Sure, why not? I'll be on time. Honey, you're more important than work."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye glanced at the person sitting below with gloomy eyes.
Looking at those people who lowered their heads as if they wanted to be buried in the ground, Jiang Ye felt tired.
"Have you found out who helped the Shen family?"
All the department heads were trembling with fear and dared not make a sound.
Don’t question me, brother. We really don’t know.
We can’t figure out who in City A is capable of helping the Shen family turn the tables when Shengshi is targeting them.
This is impossible, absolutely impossible.
"No words? A bunch of trash."
Jiang Ye pinched his eyebrows irritably and threw the document on the table.
"The meeting is adjourned. If you can't find out, keep investigating. I don't want you to be in the dark after the New Year's Day holiday.
City A has no clue and is expanding the scope. I don't believe that the Shen family can still get on the alien train."
After watching Jiang Ye leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
This is so scary. If the boss's wife hadn't called, I would have had to work overtime during this holiday.
But we can't handle it if we work overtime, and it will be even worse if we don't work overtime.
Damn Shen family, who did they get in touch with? They made us get scolded like grandsons.
Minglang was about to leave when he was grabbed by someone with quick eyes and hands.
"Brother Ming, Brother Ming, please don't leave. Help is needed. Show us the way, brother."
"Goodbye, brother. How long have I been employed here? Are you asking me for directions?"
"Brother Ming, we know, but you and Brother Qi are close friends. Help me, brother."
"Okay, I'll ask Qi Sheng. Stop pulling at me, or you're going to tear my sleeve off."
He straightened his sleeves that were almost pulled off, faced the scorching gazes of the senior executives in the room, and dialed Qi Sheng's number clearly.
"Shengzi, the world needs help, the prosperous times needs you."
“…”
After listening to Minglang's narration, Qi Sheng fell silent.
"Shengzi, do you have any clues?"
"Are you so stubborn? No one in City A dares to go against the Jiang family. You have to go to other provinces, or even foreign countries. What are you looking for in City A?"
"Stop scolding, the boss has already scolded you."
"...Forget it. Let me remind you that the boss once had a mortal enemy who is now in Country M."
"Thanks, brother."
Others got the information and went to work.
Minglang sneaked into the bathroom.
"Brother Qi, please teach me, how do you know so much? Teach me, Brother Qi."
