Chapter 44 Is there someone you like?
Qi Yu'an was very tempted, but he still said rationally: "Not for now, wait for Wen Yan to record an episode first, and then I will join after the schedule is confirmed."
Xu Huaishu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the boss is the boss, and he considers the problems comprehensively.
Of course, he said respectfully: "Okay, I'll arrange it."
Qi Yu'an hung up the phone and went to the study to deal with emails. On the surface, he would not go to the company, but in reality, important matters would still be reported to him bypassing the father and son.
The father and son would handle many matters, both big and small, and it was always much easier than when they were at work, except that Xu Huaishu was exhausted at the company.
Qi Yu'an felt no guilt at all. Xu Huaishu took such a high salary from him, so it was his job to be busy! And he had worked so hard for so many years, and his wife had run away, so what was wrong with taking a break? Qi Yu'an felt at ease.
Shen Qi gave this variety show to Wen Yan. Thinking that Wen Yan wanted to avoid Qi Yu'an, he agreed to sign her for a few more episodes so that she could join the crew right after the recording was finished.
Shen Qi actually had a hunch in his heart that this matter might not develop as they expected. Qi Yu'an was a stubborn and executive person. He was now pestering Wen Yan and would not give up easily.
Shen Qi was a little depressed. He took out his phone and sent a message: "Let's have a drink at the old place?"
The other party replied quickly: "Yeah."
Shen Qi picked up his coat and went out. When he arrived, the other party was still on the way. He didn't rush him. He ordered some drinks at the bar and sat there waiting for someone.
Before I even met my friend, I already met someone who wanted to chat me up.
When Song Yinchen arrived, he saw a man sitting next to Shen Qi, trying to talk to him. Shen Qi's expression was very cold, but the man didn't seem to mind and even became more and more courageous, moving closer and closer.
Just when Shen Qi was about to leave in frustration, Song Yinchen walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and said to the man, "Excuse me, sir, he is waiting for me."
The man looked back and forth between the two of them, and finally left with the cup.
Song Yinchen sat down in his seat: "After so many years, our schoolboy Shen is still as charming as ever."
Shen Qi smiled and said, "It's not as good as our great scholar Song's extraordinary talent."
Song Yinchen ordered a drink called "Nostalgia". The bartender performed a set of beautiful and elegant movements and then handed the light blue glass over.
Song Yinchen took it and touched it with Shen Qi: "What's troubling you?"
Shen Qi glanced at him and said, "What can I worry about? It's still Wen Yan. Qi Yu'an has been looking for him recently. I guess they will be together in the end."
Song Yinchen's expression suddenly became serious: "Do you like Wen Yan?"
Shen Qi looked at him in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about? I treat Wen Yan as my younger brother."
Song Yinchen breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace: "Then what are you worried about? I saw that Qi Yu'an was very concerned about Wen Yan at the last banquet."
Shen Qi said calmly: "It's not that I'm bothered, I just think it's not easy for Wen Yan to get to where she is today, she finally got over it, and it's a bit annoying that Qi Yu'an shows up again at this time."
Song Yinchen's eyes darkened. Did Shen Qi really treat Wen Yan as his brother as he said? Qi Yu'an pursued Wen Yan, and before Wen Yan said anything, he began to drink to drown his sorrows.
Over the years, Shen Qi has always been by Wen Yan's side, using all his connections to pave a way for Wen Yan. It can be said that Shen Qi's efforts are largely responsible for Wen Yan's current success.
Can my younger brother help me to this extent?
Song Yinchen was also in a bad mood. In fact, when he was in college, he realized that he liked Shen Qi, but there were always many people around Shen Qi who expressed their love for him.
Before he decided whether or not to take the initiative to pursue Shen Qi, he overheard a boy confessing his love to Shen Qi.
Song Yinchen had no idea who the boy was or what he looked like, but he remembered Shen Qi's answer.
What Shen Qi said at the time was: "I'm sorry, I don't like boys."
With these words, Song Yinchen felt cold from head to toe, as if it was not the boy who was rejected, but himself.
On the one hand, he was glad that he didn't confess rashly, so as not to lose the chance to be friends. On the other hand, he felt that it would be better if he confessed and rejected himself. Who the hell would want to be friends with him?
Later, Shen Qi agreed to a girl's confession and the two began to fall in love. Song Yinchen occasionally encountered them talking on the phone in the dormitory, and even if the content was not ambiguous, Song Yinchen felt sad.
So when Song Yinchen's family discussed sending him abroad to study, he did not refuse.
Several years passed in a flash, and Song Yinchen returned to China after completing his studies. It was not until a banquet where Qi Yu'an brought his assistant, Shen Qi, that the two reconnected.
Song Yinchen never asked about Shen Qi's emotional state. He liked girls, so it didn't make any sense for him to be single. He would be struck by lightning if he kept asking about it. Besides, his feelings for him had faded a lot over the years, so it was fine to just treat him as an ordinary friend.
But later, she learned that Shen Qi had been single for many years, and that his girlfriend had cheated on him with a rich second-generation man shortly after graduation. Song Yinchen still felt angry. How could such a person get the status of an ex-girlfriend by Shen Qi's side? She was not much different from him.
Song Yinchen felt sorry for Shen Qi and asked him out for a drink. Shen Qi came and found it cute and funny to hear him still standing up for him after drinking.
He said softly, "It's okay, I'm not sad, and you shouldn't be sad either."
The relationship between the two people is getting better and better, as if they have returned to the school days. Song Yinchen still dares not to confess his feelings and can only accompany her as a friend.
But what he didn't know was that when you like someone, no matter how restrained your behavior is, your love will show through your eyes. He thought he had hidden it well day and night, but Shen Qi had already seen the clues from the details.
But he didn't say it explicitly. He wasn't trying to keep him in suspense. He just felt that the time was not right yet.
The two of them got along like this, but now, Song Yinchen was really angry when he saw Shen Qi drinking here for another man.
Don't you like girls? Why are you drinking here for a boy?
Or does Shen Qi like boys now? Or does Shen Qi not like boys, but he likes Wen Yan?
None of these options would work. The more Song Yinchen thought about it, the angrier he became.
Shen Qi noticed that his expression was gradually becoming strange, and quickly asked him: "Hey, what's wrong with you? You look quite serious."
Song Yinchen came back to his senses, took a sip of wine, and spoke faster than his brain: "Shen Qi, do you like men or women now?"
Shen Qi was startled, wondering why the topic had jumped to this point, but he looked at Song Yinchen's serious eyes and said seriously: "It's actually not accurate to distinguish by gender. I will only like one person. If he is a man, then I like men, and if she is a woman, then I like women."
Song Yinchen seemed to be thinking about something, it seemed that he had thought too much before.
Song Yinchen wanted to confirm: "Do you have someone you like now?"
