Chapter 4 I Don’t Play Low-End Games
【2202】
Qu Xiaoxiao was slumped on the sofa, her head resting on a pillow, her legs dangling over the back of the sofa, and a lollipop in her mouth.
"Little earthworm—"
She drew out her tone and sighed in boredom.
"I've been so bored lately. Andy's on a business trip, and Sister Fan has been completely taken in by President Meng. She's nowhere to be seen all day. Now we're the only two lonely old people left. I'm going to go find a man for fun."
Qiu Yingying sat cross-legged on the carpet with a laptop on her knees, typing away at a web consultation for her star journey.
Without even looking up, she said, "If you're bored, go find something to do. Don't disturb me here. Men are nothing. Now Sister Fan and Andy are my idols. I want to emulate them."
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up straight, her head turning around.
"Eh? Where's Guan Guan? Why is she gone?"
Qiu Yingying continued to move her hands. "It seems Xie Tong and his band got an invitation to perform at some music festival. It's a pretty big one. They went out to celebrate, and Guan Guan went with them."
"What?!"
Qu Xiaoxiao suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and the lollipop almost fell to the ground.
"Oh my god! She's still with that Xie Tong?! She's really not afraid of death! That guy is obviously not someone to be trifled with!"
Qiu Yingying frowned, "Don't say that. I think Guan Guan likes him very much. She has become much more cheerful since they started dating."
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and sneered.
"Is that what you call cheerful? You're putting yourself down to please someone who's dragging you down, just to get that pitiful bit of recognition from others?"
She pouted in disdain, "Besides, what's so good about being recognized by someone like Xie Tong?"
Qiu Yingying knew she couldn't win the argument, so she grumbled,
"I think you're just jealous. Jealous that Guan Guan has a boyfriend. Humph, anyway, I just want Guan Guan to be happy."
Qu Xiaoxiao snorted, too lazy to argue with her silly disciple.
"Oh, forget it, if you get bullied someday, just don't come crying to me!"
At this moment, her cell phone suddenly dinged.
When she clicked on it, she saw that it was the assistant who hit her car during the day who had passed the friend verification.
The other person’s profile picture is a nebula map.
"Yo huh?"
Qu Xiaoxiao perked up a little and started typing with her fingers snapping.
[Hey, assistant, you're quite self-aware, aren't you? I thought you were planning to play dead and run away!]
[Don't worry, I'll send it to you once my sister's repair order comes out~]
After a few seconds, the other side responded with an extremely simple "OK" gesture without any expression.
She made a "tsk" sound in disgust.
“Boring.”
Qiu Yingying came over and asked curiously,
"Who is it?"
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her phone and said, "A little puppy that hit my car."
Qiu Yingying's eyes lit up, and she instantly forgot about the previous argument. She excitedly nudged her with her elbow.
"Your new goal?"
Qu Xiaoxiao chuckled, threw the phone aside, and slumped back onto the sofa, her tone full of boredom.
"What kind of joke is this? I'm not interested in this kind of unchallenging little pup who's easy to see through at a glance."
Qiu Yingying imitated her and curled her lips.
"Not interested? I think you just like the iceberg type like Dr. Zhao—"
She puffed up her cheeks and shook her head. "What's so good about an iceberg? Are you the Titanic? You have to hit an iceberg. You're going to hit it anyway, so why not hit it with a car? It's much safer than hitting a ship."
Qu Xiaoxiao was choked by her words, picked up the pillow beside her and threw it lightly.
"Little earthworm, mind your own business. When did you become so eloquent?"
When Qiu Yingying heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Really? I've improved? I can actually talk about you?"
Qu Xiaoxiao, "......"

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights poured down like a galaxy, while inside the room only a warm yellow reading light was on.
Fan Shengmei sat cross-legged in a corner of the sofa, with the quarterly report of Star Journey spread out on her knees, and her fingertips occasionally tapped on the tablet.
Meng Yanchen sat on the single sofa opposite, holding Guo Kun's audit documents in his hand, but his eyes passed over the edge of the paper and fell on her slightly furrowed brows.
He suddenly put down the documents, stood up and walked to her, gently stroking her eyebrows with his fingertips.
"Don't frown," he whispered.
Fan Shengmei raised her head, met his gentle gaze, and suddenly smiled.
"Boss Meng, why aren't you looking at the documents instead of peeking at me?"
Meng Yanchen leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth.
“Legal for viewing.”
Fan Shengmei was about to speak and smiled, when Meng Yanchen's cell phone vibrated.
She raised her chin towards his phone.
"Go quickly."
Meng Yanchen returned to the sofa and picked up his phone. Bao Yifan started going crazy in the group chat again.
Bao Yifan, [So boring.]
Bored to the point of growing mushrooms. Anyone in? @All members

Bao Yifan, [Brothers, I did it, you guys can do whatever you want.]
Jiang Yu, [Brother, what's wrong? Where's Sister Andy?]
Indeed, if Andy were around, it would be impossible for him to act so recklessly and harass others.
Bao Yifan, [on another business trip, still across the Pacific. [Smile]]
Jiang Yu, [Then, let's go out and sit for a while?]
Bao Yifan, [No appointment. I don't believe it. If I don't go out, how can I still pay the bill?]
Let's just get together and have a drink. [clink.jpg]
Jiang Yu, [...I'll pay.]
Bao Yifan, [Do you believe it?].jpg
【Why, do you feel like there’s no atmosphere?】
The next second, the system prompted: [Bao Yifan] invited [Xiao Yixiao] to join the group chat.
Xiao Yixiao, 【???】
Xiao Yixiao, [What kind of organization is this?]
Bao Yifan, [You're just in time! @肖亦晓, the bar owner is here too, @姜煜, go ahead and order whatever you want to drink. It'll be charged to your brother Bao's account!]
Xiao Yixiao, [Bao Yifan, the medicine cannot be stopped.]
Then, Bao Yifan instantly changed the group name to——
How can I let you go (4)?
It can be seen that he is indeed bored.
Bao Yifan, [@Meng Yanchen, where are you? Little Meng Meng, come out for a couple of drinks. I'm really impressed that you're letting me pay for this!]
[@Meng Yanchen, what are you doing? ]
Meng Yanchen looked at the screen and chuckled, his slender fingers quickly replied,
You don't want to know.
Bao Yifan, [Tell me, what's the shameful thing?]
Jiang Yu, 【???】
Meng Yanchen, [accompanying his wife.]
The group fell silent instantly.
Three seconds later——
Bao Yifan, [kitchen knife.jpg]
Jiang Yu, [Smile]
Xiao Yixiao, [kick someone.jpg]
Bao Yifan, [Meng Yanchen! I curse you! Sister Fan is about to leave!]
Meng Yanchen, [Jealousy makes one hateful. You can no longer be so willful. [Smile]]
Xiao Yixiao stood at the bar, speechless and laughing out of anger.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Ziqian looked up and asked him.
Xiao Yixiao turned his phone screen towards him, "Boring enough, huh? Do you want to come?"
Zhao Ziqian chuckled, "I don't play low-end games."
"It's still that kid Jiang Yu!"
Xiao Yixiao leaned against the bar, picked up a glass of whiskey and took a sip. "A while ago, I was chasing that nice girl with glasses on the 22nd floor. She insisted on creating a group and called it the '22nd Floor Attack Command Center'—"
He scoffed and shook his phone.
"But today, for some unknown reason, they dragged me into this as well. Now the whole group is full of Bao Yifan going crazy."
After saying that, he added with disdain,
"It's so hard to be a brother these days. You have to play house with them."
Zhao Ziqian's eyes behind the glasses flickered slightly.
“Is it effective?”
Xiao Yixiao shrugged, "Master Bao Yifan, what do you think?"
Zhao Ziqian held his chin with one hand and thought for a while, then he posted a message on his Moments:
[Three days later, special guests of the International Medical Summit]
Picture: An exquisite invitation letter and poster, with the list of participants clearly marked in the lower right corner of the poster——
[Special guest: Zhao Ziqian]
Among the list of invited guests, there is clearly a familiar name.
Zhao Qiping (Chief Physician of Orthopedics Department, Municipal Hospital)
Zhao Ziqian's fingertips brushed across the three characters "Zhao Qiping" on the poster and said to Xiao Yixiao calmly,
"How long does it take for a cat to smell fish?"
Xiao Yixiao, "?"
"bite--"
Finally, the phone screen lit up, and Qu Xiaoxiao's message popped up -
[Assistant! Please get me a copy of that invitation to the medical summit you posted on your WeChat Moments.]
Zhao Ziqian looked at the screen, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he tapped his fingertips lightly.
OK.
Zhao Ziqian glanced at his phone, chuckled, and drank the wine in his glass.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Yixiao asked.
"Closing the net!"
