Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Listen or Not
Qin Tianrui had never seen Lu Yingchi like this before, and couldn't help but complain: "Are you a dog?"
It was not until this time that Lu Yingchi remembered whose voice he heard at the beginning. Oh, there was another person.
He was alert and defensive: "Why are you two together?"
Qin Tianrui is a very petty person. Maybe he is holding a grudge against me because he was beaten last time!
He stared at Qin Tianrui with a wolf-like gaze, and then, anxiously, checked Qiao Wu's entire body over and over again: "He didn't bully you, did he?"
"?"
Are you blind? Who bullied whom last time?!
Can I bully her?
Qin Tianrui gritted his teeth: "Do you think everyone is like you? We are here to do serious business!"
"What business can you have?"
"Lu Yingchi!" The people had surrounded Lai Shen on the ground, and the bodyguards were helpless. They had to separate the crowd and help their fourth young master up. The scene was in chaos, and Fei Jingming and his men had just freed up their hands and walked over.
Seeing Qiao Wu standing there, everyone stood straight as if they were in military training: "Hello, Sister Qiao."
Lu Yingchi was unhappy: "Who is your sister? Stop calling me that."
"Your sister, your sister, it's your sister." Several people followed his lead and asked confusedly, "What should we do now?"
"Call the police." Lu Yingchi took out his cell phone and was now very skilled at dialing the police number.
He thought that one day he would be able to hang a banner from the police station in his house: "He said he led people to cause trouble. This bastard has no brains."
But before he could make the call, the police arrived at the scene, evacuated the crowd, and controlled these strange people.
Ye Liang was puzzled: "Was it done by enthusiastic people?"
The unknown enthusiastic person named Qiao smiled and said, "Wait for Jiang Yuan to come and apologize to him."
"Don't worry, I'll compensate you for any damage."
"Who said you should pay?" Qiao Wu raised an eyebrow, glancing pointedly at the person nearby. "Whoever caused this should pay."
Lai Shen, who came to the mainland for the first time, did not expect that he would be taken away by the police on his first day. When he was lying on the ground with his face covered, he did not know who was around and took something to hit him, which hurt him so much.
When he was pulled up from the ground by someone, he looked up and saw a group of policemen standing in front of him. Looking over the policemen, he saw the culprit standing not far away, smiling and talking to a very elegant-looking woman.
They are in the same group.
Lai Shen had never suffered such a loss from anyone before. He was so angry that his eyes turned black and he gnashed his teeth: "Lu Yingchi, I will kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the police slapped him on the head: "Still not honest? You really have no remorse for beating and killing people."
Lai Shen stared with his eyes wide open, but before he could say anything, he was taken into the car by the police, and Hu Zhuo and others who came with him were not left behind.
The commotion here was so fierce that it caused a serious traffic jam. By the time Jiang Yuan arrived, the crowd around had already dispersed.
He hurried into the store. The employees were putting the tables and chairs back in place, while Qiao Wu and his people were sitting upstairs.
"Miss Qiao." Jiang Yuan really had a headache. Why didn't they have eyes?
On his way here, his employees had already told him about the situation on the scene, and he quickly asked someone to find out about the situation of the Lai family in Gangcheng.
He pulled a chair next to Qiao Wu and sat down, feeling very complicated: "You should know something about the Lai family. That was the fourth child of the Lai family just now, the youngest. Hu Zhuo said before that he wanted to introduce us to each other, but I didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, the two troublemakers are now behaving well, but a new one has come.
"The Lai family?"
Qiao Wu had indeed heard of the Lai family in Hong Kong City, who were one of the most prominent families there. Each of their four children had his own mother, and the family was in great chaos. And, by some coincidence... she had some connection with one of the children in the Lai family.
During her two years abroad, she mingled with many wealthy circles and had conflicts with the child, but at that time people didn't take her seriously.
Jiang Yuan spoke sincerely, but Qiao Wu understood a little bit about what he was thinking.
He arrived late after the matter was resolved, and first made his position clear that he was not aware of the situation. Anyway, he did not show up, so he did not offend either side.
Sure enough, the next second Lu Yingchi very “responsibly” took all the responsibility: “I will take responsibility if anything goes wrong.”
"What are you worried about?" Qiao Wu glanced at him calmly, "Do you know who that is?"
"Hmm?" Lu Yingchi was bewildered. "Don't you know now?"
"you do not know."
Qiao Wu took a sip of tea and said slowly, "You were just having dinner with your classmates today. Even though you ran into someone you had conflicts with before, you didn't hold grudges. But you didn't expect a stranger to suddenly verbally humiliate you and your classmates. You stepped in just to get an apology, but that person suddenly sent bodyguards in to attack you. You were scared and wanted to protect yourself, so you grabbed the person and asked for help from the public."
She raised her eyes and smiled softly, "Until now, you still don't know who that is, you know?"
The others: “…”
Or you are wise.
"That's right!" Jiang Yuan immediately realized, "Hu Zhuo only said he would introduce someone to me. I haven't even arrived yet, so I don't know him."
Qiao Wu put down his teacup and looked at the other students. "You are just ordinary college students. How could you have a conflict with a rich young man from Hong Kong? Rich people can't do whatever they want."
Now, these clear-headed and simple male college students immediately understood what he meant.
"Yeah, we're just having a meal together!"
With what status and position do they have, how could they possibly know someone of that status!
"Now you can take the bill and go settle with them." Qiao Wu nodded slightly at Jiang Yuan, "But since that person was the one you originally made an appointment with, not only should you not ask him to pay, but you should also give him a few bottles of wine as apology and treat him to a meal. However..."
Jiang Yuan was just worrying about how to deal with this matter. He knew that Mr. Lai Si was a troublemaker and difficult to deal with.
"But the child has gone to the police station. You have no choice but to tell his family about it first." Qiao Wu thought about the man's personality and chuckled. "Apologize to the elders for neglecting his child."
This is like filing a lawsuit directly at someone's home and at the same time clearing yourself of any involvement. Young people like Lai Si are impatient and have no experience in coming here to gain experience. In the end, they will just be another □□ or Qin Er from the past.
But it’s different for his family. To build a relationship, it still has to be built with someone who has the final say.
Few people from Gangcheng come here, but it’s not that they haven’t been here before. With connections like Jiang Yuan’s, one can easily find out how to contact the other party by asking a few more people. There was no excuse to get to know each other before, but now there is.
He gave Qiao Wu a deep look and extended his hand toward her: "Miss Qiao is truly a kind-hearted person. All your expenses today will be on me. I'll have someone bring up some more wine from my private collection later."
Qiao Wu bumped into him and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
“No, no.”
Jiang Yuan came in with a depressed look on his face and left with a happy heart. He then ordered the kitchen to serve another table of good wine and food to entertain the guests.
Originally, the other students were thinking of leaving first, but the wine was given to them for free and it was a private collection, so they had to try it out to see how good it was.
Qiao Wu had almost finished eating, but since she had already met Lu Yingchi, she didn't leave immediately.
She was just asking him to quit, not really breaking up with him.
But at this moment, Lu Yingchi's energy was no longer on drinking. He just took small sips. If anyone asked him about it, he would proudly say, "My family is very strict and doesn't allow me to drink too much."
Family: “…”
She turned around and rolled her eyes at him.
Lu Yingchi immediately came up to him and said, "He said you guys are doing something serious. What is that?"
Qiao Wu turned the end of the chopsticks upside down and placed them against his forehead: "Sit down."
Lu Yingchi said reluctantly: "I'm just curious."
Qin Tianrui, who had seized the opportunity to show off, said in a servile manner: "If you beg me, I will tell you."
Lu Yingchi said to him: "Don't think I won't slap you just because Qiao Wu is here."
"You only know how to solve problems with violence?" Qin Tianrui said disdainfully, his chin held high. "You're like a baby who's still nursing. All you talk about is Qiao Wu. She's just your housekeeper. She has to distract herself by staring at you when she comes out to eat. Doesn't she have her own life?"
Lu Yingchi was so angry at his sarcastic mockery: "Say it again!" "What's the big deal?" Qin Tianrui patted his bag and said, "See, the contract? I'm here to discuss business cooperation with Mr. Qiao, not to take care of children."
Lu Yingchi's surprise was greater than his anger: "You cooperate with such a person?"
Qiao Wu was stuck between the two of them, his expression calm: "You two are the same, if you can't talk properly, get out."
She did not interrupt Qin Tianrui on purpose.
Although she was sometimes a bit harsh with Lu Yingchi and the others, she still couldn't bear to say anything too harsh. Someone had to be the bad guy, and every word Qin Tianrui said made sense.
Qin Tianrui didn't say anything too harsh because he was afraid that Qiao Wu would get angry, so he kept quiet when the other party spoke.
But Lu Yingchi seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. He couldn't believe that even someone like Qin Tianrui could cooperate with Qiao Wu, but since Qiao Wu had spoken, he endured it and didn't lose his temper.
After finishing his meal, he did not get into his own car. Instead, he called the driver and followed Qiao Wu closely.
Qiao Wu let him go, she did have something to say.
But because Lu Yingchi's classmates were present, she always gave Lu Yingchi some face.
After the two got in the car, she looked at the sulking Lu Yingchi and took the initiative to speak.
"We were indeed talking about work. I started a company with him."
"Why?!" Lu Yingchi asked her in astonishment, "Why him?"
"Of course it's for our common interests." Qiao Wu gestured for him to fasten his seat belt and took a drink from the car refrigerator for him to drink to help him sober up. "Can you calm down and think about the rationality of this matter?"
He was quite calm and quick-witted in the store before.
But as long as they are around her, they will subconsciously hide their edge and nestle in the comfortable environment she created.
This won't work.
"This is illogical in itself." Lu Yingchi said, "Do you know who he is? He's even better at playing than me, he..."
Qiao Wu's voice faded: "Lu Yingchi."
Lu Yingchi felt a bitter taste in his throat.
Why is Qiao Wu speaking up for Qin Tianrui now, when Qin Tianrui was clearly blocking his car maliciously some time ago?
Qiao Wu asked gently, "If it weren't for Qin Tianrui, would you question my choice?"
The aggrieved dog shook his head.
"Then why can't he?"
"He never accomplished anything."
"But he did a great job on this matter." Qiao Wu took out the contract they had signed and handed it to him. "He proved to me that he could do it, so I trust him. Of course, I can also listen to you."
Lu Yingchi's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Really." Qiao Wu gestured for him to look at the contract. "If you can find a bigger disadvantage than the benefits in this contract and the cooperation between him and me, I'll listen to you."
Lu Yingchi is studying finance. Although he is only a freshman this year, he has already started taking some basic courses.
He also promised Qiao Wu that he would not fail the course, so he was now very serious in class and even sat in the first row.
God knows how valuable it is to sit in the front row of class.
He was somewhat moved by what Qiao Wu said, so he really looked through all the rules and regulations in the contract documents carefully, determined to find out Qin Tianrui's weaknesses.
But based on his limited professional knowledge, he saw no problems with either the entertainment company's acquisition plan or the subsequent cooperation contract, and Qiao Wu even had the majority of the interests.
He turned it over and over again, and became more and more silent as he read it.
"Can you prove it?"
Lu Yingchi closed all the contract documents and stuffed them into her arms, opened the drink, and gulped down several gulps. The cold temperature quickly cooled his brain, but his eyes were a little red.
"cannot."
He had to admit it.
Qiao Wu: "So why do we still use the old way of thinking to deal with things that should be treated rationally?"
Because it's you.
I don't want you to be with someone I don't like.
I’m afraid that you’ll be wronged and suffer losses.
But Lu Yingchi couldn't say it. He once said that he would protect Qiao Wu, but now he suddenly realized that everything he did was hindering her and he could not be her umbrella.
Qiao Wu has never been wronged or wronged by anyone.
Only in him.
Lu Yingchi pulled his headband down to cover his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and for the first time admitted his incompetence.
“Why start a company?” he asked.
He knew that Qiao Wu was not short of money and she did not want to be confined to the Lu family. She also went to the foundation, but why did she go further and further outside?
He was really hard to catch up with.
"Because I want to retain some confidence." Qiao Wu did not hide it from him, "I want to be my own master."
Lu Yingchi didn't turn his head. All he could see was the darkness covered by his headband. After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What should I do?"
"You will grow your own wings and fly higher and higher." Qiao Wu said, "Let's fly together."
Lu Yingchi was stunned for a moment and turned his head, but he couldn't see Qiao Wu. He just looked in the direction of the voice and imagined what she looked like in his mind.
"Together?"
"Do you have to stand here forever if I leave?" Qiao Wu knocked his head with the contract. "I'm not dead. I'm still your friend and your family."
Lu Yingchi has always been sensitive to sounds.
So at this moment he could completely reproduce the scene where Qiao Wu touched his hair and said, "Why is my brother so smart?"
When he saw her for the first time, he was so happy that his mind was in a mess, so that the tone of the sentence seemed less important to him than her.
But now when he heard it, it was the tenderness he had always longed for.
"Don't leave me," he said.
"I'm not leaving any of you behind."
Now Lu Yingchi finally stopped being obsessed with starting a company. His complexion looked much better, and he turned around and looked up at the darkness.
A line in his mind finally became clear, telling him clearly that Qiao Wu was very important, so important that he could not accept any possibility of losing him.
This realization surprised even him, because he had never encountered such a thing in his past life that he wanted but was afraid of.
He can get what he wants just by stretching out his hand, so he doesn't have to pay much. What he has is enough to last him many lifetimes even if he just eats and waits for death.
But he is very excited now.
Because Qiao Wu said let’s fly together.
Everything Qiao Wu said was what he wanted but no one could give it to him.
Only himself.
If that bastard Qin Tianrui could become Qiao Wu's partner, why couldn't he?
At this moment, Lu Yingchi seemed to have finally found what he wanted to do.
He pulled off his hairband, turned his head and looked at Qiao Wu seriously, eager to try: "I promise you!"
Qiao Wu: “?”
Promise what?
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but as soon as he got home he rushed upstairs excitedly.
As early as when he said he wanted to have a dinner together today, Qiao Wu had anticipated that he would drink, so she said she would check Lu Ning's homework today.
After watching Lu Yingchi go up, she prepared to go to the library.
Unexpectedly, when he went out, he ran into Lu Xuan who came in from outside: "You're back so late?"
Although he was back, Lu Xuan still had to go to the company to take acting classes every day. When he came back, he threw himself on the sofa and hummed, "I had a meeting today."
Meng Xingxing would send the meeting minutes later, so Qiao Wu didn't force him to communicate with him. Seeing that he looked a little tired, he said, "Then go to bed early."
But Lu Xuan seemed to be able to sense her movements and immediately opened his eyes: "Where are you going?"
"Check Lu Ning's homework."
"Isn't that Lu Yingchi's job?" Lu Xuan sat up straight again, frowning slightly. "I'll go with you."
Qiao Wu looked at him silently.
Lu Xuan understood what she meant. Qiao Wu had told him not to exclude his family. He was not so cruel as to argue with a little girl like Lu Ning.
"Who do you think I am?" Lu Xuan said lazily, "As an uncle, can't I check her homework? Didn't you say we should treat everyone equally?"
Qiao Wu raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's go."
After coming out of the main house, Lu Xuan didn't say a word the whole time. He would kick the potted plants on the roadside every few steps. Qiao Wu was really worried that the gardener would come to trouble him the next day.
She found it funny: "When did you become so hesitant?"
"What do you know?"
Lu Xuan snorted lightly, but still said nothing.
But when he was about to reach the library, he finally stopped and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow."
Qiao Wu knew he was going to film with Jiang Qi's crew, so he nodded: "And then?"
"There's nothing else to say." Lu Xuan continued to move forward, but his pace was obviously much slower. "I came to say goodbye to you."
He actually wanted to ask if Qiao Wu could send him there, just like when he sent him to the training camp, to encourage him, give him instructions and praise him before he started something.
But if he said this, Qiao Wu would definitely scold him for not learning his lesson.
It takes at least one day to go there and back, and two days to rest for one night, and there are other people at home.
Qiao Wu doesn't like his selfishness.
So he endured it.
But he still wanted to say goodbye to Qiao Wu alone. At least she would give him some instructions before leaving, such as what rewards he would get if he persevered.
He promised: "I will go all the way this time too."
"Only this time?"
"Every time from now on." Lu Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, looking at their shadows aligned on the ground, "I will make you look at me with new eyes."
"You want me to?"
"Yeah." As if he knew what she was thinking, Lu Xuan stepped on her shadow accurately. "But I will be responsible not only for you, but also for everyone in the group who watched me act."
Qiao Wu acquiesced to his childish behavior, but he also felt that Lu Xuan did understand what he should pay attention to when doing any job.
"I understand," she said.
When they arrived in front of the library, she suddenly stopped and said, "We're here, let's go in."
Lu Xuan: “?”
"Don't you want to check her homework?" Qiao Wu motioned him in. "It doesn't take two people to check a second-year student's homework."
“…”
What the hell.
How could he really come to see Lu Ning doing homework?
Who can understand the crap she wrote!
"Go back and rest early after watching." Qiao Wu said, "You have an early flight tomorrow."
Seeing that she was really leaving, Lu Xuan became anxious: "Are you going back now?"
"That's right." Seeing his speechless expression but not daring to refute, Qiao Wu smiled and said, "I still have to go back and pack my things, otherwise how can I catch the early flight with you?"
Lu Xuan stood there in a daze, not realizing what she was saying for a moment.
After a long while, he saw Qiao Wu was about to turn around, so he quickly grabbed her clothes and said, "You, are going too?"
"As your housekeeper, I set your career path. I had to go to the set on your first shoot. As the future boss of an entertainment company, it's also my job to familiarize myself with the crew's filming process."
Qiao Wu gently brushed his hand away and said with a smile, "As a family member, this is my brother's first time joining the group, so of course I have to go."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and emphasized again: "I said it's my brother."
"Listen if you want."
