"Mr. Qi, you're trending on social media!"
Li Wen called Qi Jingchen. This time, he didn't go to Haicheng with them but stayed in Beijing. Firstly, he had a lot of work to do here, and secondly, he was the one who arranged for the things he bought for Qin Zifu, and he needed to get that done quickly.
"What's trending?"
"Take a look, do you want to withdraw your participation in the auction?"
"Okay, let's go then."
Qi Jingchen was in a good mood, thinking that Qin Zifu would like the two items he had purchased.
The reason he trended on social media is simply because he just won the last and most expensive item in the auction. It's normal for people like him to trend when they buy something; trending is a business tactic. However, he originally wanted to give his baby a surprise, but they must have found out beforehand.
"I suggest you take a look and then call Ms. Qin."
"Um?"
Qi Jingchen didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone, and glanced at the trending topics.
Less than a minute later, Li Wen's phone rang. Li Wen had anticipated this and was holding his phone in his hand, so he answered it before the ringtone even started.
"Who is that woman? How did the photos capture us coming out at the same time?"
"She's an artist, quite popular lately, named Wang Duolin, and she's an artist under President Ling's company."
As for how he managed to capture the simultaneous appearance of the animals, how would he know? He wasn't even there.
"Why are all the artists in his company so troublesome?"
He remembered that the one who fought with Qin Zifu over clothes last time was an artist from Ling Zhiyi's company. Why is it the same one this time?
"Does their company have a lot of artists?"
"Which company doesn't have artists? He's just making a lot of trouble. Take the trending topic down and find out what happened."
"Understood, Mr. Qi."
"Buy me a plane ticket."
"I've already bought it for you. It should arrive in Beijing around 9 PM. You can go back to your hotel to pack and head to the airport. The timing will be perfect."
"good"
Qi Jingchen had no recollection of ever seeing Wang Duolin at the Xiyuan Clubhouse before. The key point was that he hadn't even looked at her that day, nor had he looked closely at today's photo, and he certainly didn't remember her name.
After hanging up the phone, Li Wen silently lit a candle for President Ling. Fortunately, he was quick-witted; as soon as he saw his boss trending on social media, he knew that his boss was anxious to come back and find Miss Qin.
He could have gone back by noon today if it weren't for this auction. The project was all settled, and Ling Zhiyi could have just waited here to go through the contract. He only did this to buy her something, and now he's trending on social media.
I called Ling Zhiyi, and she answered the phone and spoke first.
"I understand, it's already being processed."
"Hurry up and deal with this. What is this woman anyway?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, it's just trending on social media."
Isn't it normal for them to be trending on social media and have their popularity exploited? It's not like he hasn't been on it before.
"Find out quickly whether she did it on purpose. I'm going back now. You'll handle the contract here by yourself tomorrow."
"Didn't we agree to go back tomorrow?"
Never mind, we'll get on the plane soon.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhiyi stared at his phone. What was all this about? A minor celebrity trending on social media and he, as the boss, had to personally investigate? And why was he in such a hurry to go back just because his brother was trending? When did he become so irresponsible?
Is his little canary throwing a tantrum? Sigh, he's young and usually good, but he's prone to throwing little tantrums. Judging from this, his girlfriend is quite good in that respect.
Qin Zifu's phone was still not answered, which made Qi Jingchen even more anxious.
In less than half an hour, Qi Jingchen seemed to have returned to those five years of silence.
Meanwhile, Qin Zifu felt a bit upset when she saw the trending topic. After thinking about it, she realized that their relationship wasn't stable, so it was normal for him to be close to others.
Moreover, she didn't see what happened at the time, and she wouldn't believe anything based on just one photo. Just like when she and Bai Jin were trending on social media before, most things in the entertainment industry are just rumors.
Furthermore, if he really did accompany Wang Duolin to Haicheng for an event, as the trending topics suggest, would he still have time to video chat with her late at night? He clearly had a lot on his mind.
So she didn't think much of it and figured things out in no time.
Later, Qin Jing and Qin Zifu were surrounded by waves of people for nearly two hours without stopping. Qin Jing remained seated, after all, she was older and giving a lecture on stage, and she also had a certain social status.
However, the place was small, and many people who came to chat were standing. As a junior, she felt embarrassed to sit down, so she stood for two hours as well.
By the end, Qin Zifu could barely stand. Sure enough, you can't wear new shoes when you're out and about; they really were rubbing her feet. But she still got into the car gracefully.
I took off my high heels as soon as I got back to the car.
"What's wrong, is it rubbing your feet?"
"Yes, Grandma, I'm so tired."
She lifted her foot to show Qin Jing; it was all blistered.
"Next time, wear low heels. These kinds of activities are very physically demanding. These people talk endlessly about their professions; I don't know when it will end."
"I know, it's just that I lack experience."
I think you just love beauty.
"Of course I love looking good, Grandma, you should rest for a while."
"Okay, low heels can be elegant too."
Qin Zifu took out her phone from her bag and saw countless WeChat messages and phone calls from Qi Jingchen. It wasn't convenient to call back right now, so she checked the WeChat messages first.
Qi the Big Bad Wolf: Baby, the trending topics are nonsense.
Big Bad Wolf Qi: I don't know that woman, I've never had any contact with her.
Qi Da Huilang: The trending topic has been removed.
Big Bad Wolf Qi: Baby, answer the phone.
Big Bad Wolf Qi: I'm going back now, I'll be home by ten o'clock.
Big Bad Wolf Qi: Baby, pay attention to me, are you still busy?
Qi the Big Bad Wolf: The plane is about to take off.
This is the last one, posted twenty minutes ago.
Qin Zifu checked the time. The plane should have already taken off, so he wouldn't receive the message anyway. She decided to wait until he returned.
Back home, Qin Zifu kicked off her high heels and slipped on her soft slippers. Her feet instantly relaxed.
"Phew, it feels so good to be grounded."
Qin Zifu lay on the sofa for a while, took a shower, looked at her feet, realized she didn't have any medicine, and then placed another order.
When Qi Jingchen came out, Li Wen was already waiting. Without saying much, he got into the car and took out his phone to dial Qin Zifu's number again.
"Hello"
"Fufu..."
"You're back? I was so busy this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll be home in half an hour."
Okay, I'll wait for you. Have you eaten?
"Didn't eat."
"So, I'll order now? What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine, order whatever you like."
"All right"
Qi Jingchen wasn't quite sure what her emotions were. Was she angry or not? The atmosphere was so relaxed.
She must have known about the trending topic, so why is she so calm? Does she trust him, or does she not care?
Qin Zifu was focused on ordering food. Many restaurants were not serving dinner at this time, so she chose a Thai restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
Me and my concubines
Nuonuo: @fu, are you okay? How are you? Should I come up to you?
Fu: It's okay, I just got back from with my grandma, he'll be home soon.
Nuonuo: Oh, then I'll take my leave. I won't disturb your time together.
Fairy Tang: So, what's going on?
Fu: I don't know, they said they don't recognize me.
Nuonuo: Then you probably don't know him. He's probably just trying to ride his coattails. Zhou Yixing has also been on the trending topics before. President Qi wouldn't lie to you.
fu: Yeah, I think so.
Tang Fairy: The key question is, what's the deal with building a love nest together?
Fu: I don't know. Is he a time management master?
Putting her to sleep late at night before going to someone else's place? That must be quite tiring.
Nuonuo: Doesn't this person look like the one we met at the gym the other day?
Tang Fairy: Which one?
Qin Zifu clicked on the photo and took a look.
Fu: The one who envies your beauty.
Tang Fairy: That's a mix of technology and ruthless work! Is there such a big difference between this light makeup and your everyday makeup? I didn't even recognize you!
Fu: They're all like you, only knowing how to do one kind of thing?
Fairy Tang: Sister, that's so loyal. Someone like her, who changes faces all the time, who would recognize her?
Nuonuo: Living in the same neighborhood is called building a love nest? Did you buy this trending topic?
Tang Fairy: Hmm, it's possible it was intentional. Either she wanted to get close to him on purpose, or it was her rival doing it on purpose.
Fu: How could her rival possibly find her such a powerful backer? If this news comes out, everyone will probably have to give her some face. It won't do her rival any good.
Tang Fairy: That's because she did it on purpose. You know, the angle of this photo is great. How much money did she have to spend to take this photo?
Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, the doorbell rang. It must have been the lobby manager. The delivery drivers and couriers couldn't come up, so they had to leave their orders in the lobby on the first floor and have the lobby manager or security guard bring them up. She had told the lobby manager in advance that she had two orders and wanted them delivered together.
I got up from the sofa to open the door.
"They're here!"
The moment the door opened, I was held tightly in your arms, and my phone fell to the ground because I couldn't hold it properly.
