Huo Qizhen was afraid that Jian Yu would laugh herself sick, so he took the tablet from her hand and said, "Stop watching for now, go wash your face and go to bed!"
On the way back, Jian Yu was a little sleepy and felt drowsy. But after the farce at the Yan family, he was full of energy and not sleepy at all.
However, Jian Yu knew that Huo Qizhen was very tired and needed to rest now.
"Go to sleep first! I'll wait for you."
Huo Qizhen glanced at his watch. "It's too late. I should be sleepy after washing up."
Jian Yu glanced at Huo Qizhen's slightly swollen eyes and nodded. "Let's go!"
As soon as Jian Yu reached the second floor, he heard his phone beep with a message. He opened it and saw that it was an apology letter from Yan Shi.
"Yan Shi said he wanted to apologize on behalf of Chairman Yan, and asked you not to mind. He also said he would come to apologize to you in person with Dean Bai later."
"You just told me not to mind?"
Jian Yu shook his head. "They even mentioned me."
"Apart from Chairman Yan, the other members of the Yan family have all been quite friendly. Since they are willing to show goodwill, we naturally won't make enemies."
Jian Yu then replied as Huo Qizhen had instructed.
He replied quickly.
"Yan Shi said the old man wants to invite you to his home as a guest, are you going?"
"The old man's daughter and son-in-law wanted to cooperate with our company. I heard them mention it at a dinner party before, so this invitation must also be related to cooperation."
Jian Yu suddenly realized, "No wonder the old man came down from the mountain in the middle of the night; it was for his daughter."
Huo Qizhen: "His daughter is here today too. She's been standing at the back the whole time. From our angle, she's half-hidden by the car. I guess you mistook her for the old man's staff."
Jian Yu did notice the woman who was half-hidden by the car. When he realized she was the old man's daughter, a little embarrassed appeared on his face. "I actually thought she was the old man's new wife."
Huo Qizhen shook his head. "The old man's new wife is more than ten years younger than his daughter! She didn't show up tonight, so he probably kept her at home."
"Tsk tsk! This relationship is really awkward."
It's awkward.
Huo Qizhen nodded.
Jian Yu thought she definitely wouldn't be able to fall asleep anytime soon, but who knew that as soon as she came out of the shower, without even drying her hair, she fell asleep on the bed.
When Huo Qizhen came out of the bathroom next door, he saw Jian Yu lying at the foot of the bed, her hair still dripping water, which had soaked the blanket.
She dropped the towel she was holding, quickly went over, and picked up the hairdryer to help dry the affected area.
Jian Yu was awakened by the loud noise of the hairdryer, but he only frowned and closed his eyes again.
After Huo Qizhen dried Jian Yu's hair, he tucked her into bed before notifying the maid to come up and change the blankets.
The maid came in carrying a new quilt and immediately noticed that one corner of the quilt was wet. She thought it was water spilled from a cup, but after looking around, she couldn't find the cup.
I had no choice but to grab the used blanket and leave quickly.
When Jian Yu woke up, Huo Qizhen had already gone to work.
He leisurely went downstairs to the restaurant, ate breakfast, and then opened Huo Tingzhen's chat page.
Jian Yu's finger hovered over the chat box, unsure how to ask a question without feeling awkward.
After thinking it over, I finally sent a "Good morning" emoji.
Huo Tingzhen replied almost instantly, "It's ten o'clock, and you're still saying good morning?"
Jian Yu then changed it to "Good afternoon!"
"not good."
Jian Yu sneered, "Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Stop smirking, come pick me up."
"Um?"
Jian Yu replied with a big question mark. He had just spent a wonderful night with Bao Yanbai last night. Shouldn't they be inseparable now?
"Don't even mention it, he was too fierce, he almost ate me up. If you don't leave now, you won't see me tomorrow."
“Bao Yanbai is still here. Even if I go to pick you up, he won’t let you go. He’ll definitely come back with you.”
“He’s gone out to my favorite breakfast shop to buy me breakfast. It will take him an hour and a half to come back. You have one hour and twenty-five minutes to pick me up.”
Jian Yu hesitated for a moment, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, absolutely certain, and definitely, you need to come pick me up right away."
Jian Yu immediately jumped up from the chair and ran outside.
The aunt who was serving her soup was startled.
"The beef soup is ready."
Jian Yu had already run to the door, leaving only the words, "I'll come back and drink later."
Jian Yu picked up Huo Tingzhen outside the residential area.
She was dressed very warmly, with most of her face covered by a scarf.
Jian Yu looked her up and down. "It's true, you're even having trouble getting into the car."
Huo Tingzhen ripped off her scarf and urged, "Let's go."
What if Bao Yanbai comes after us in a bit?
"Once I'm inside the house, why would I be afraid of him?"
Jian Yu nodded. "That's true. Without your permission, he can't even get into your house."
Jian Yu, "You just said he went to buy you breakfast. You probably haven't eaten yet, right? Are you hungry?"
Huo Tingzhen's stomach was already empty. "I'm hungry."
He assumed that Jian Yu's question meant she had brought him food.
She looked at Jian Yu expectantly, "What delicious food did you bring me?"
Jian Yu rubbed his empty stomach. "I'm just like you, my stomach is completely empty."
Huo Tingzhen, "..." was disappointed.
"Stop here, let's go to this restaurant for a big meal."
Huo Tingzhen casually pointed to a restaurant on the side of the road that looked quite nicely decorated.
Just as Jian Yu was about to nod, he saw a familiar-looking person walk in.
Kuang Xin.
"What bad luck!" Huo Tingzhen didn't insist anymore. "Let's go to the place next door."
When the two finished their meal and came out, they saw Kwong Sum again.
This time, however, she wasn't alone.
She clung tightly to the man's arm beside her, gazing at him shyly, while muttering something to herself.
Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen both assumed that this person was her new boyfriend, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
When the two got into the car, the man turned around and sat down, and Jian Yu finally got a clear look at him.
It was actually Lao He?
Jian Yu's brow twitched wildly. Wasn't Lao He a penniless man?
How could Kwong Sum have fallen for him?
Jian Yu's gaze fell on the two's car, a joint venture vehicle worth around 500,000 yuan.
Although the Kwong family has fallen on hard times, they still have some wealth, so it makes sense that they drive a car at this price.
But now the person sitting in the driver's seat is Lao He. How could Lao He afford this car in such a short time?
Out of curiosity, Jian Yu asked An Ke for information.
What is Lao He doing now?
After more than ten minutes, Anke replied with a long message----
"After you rejected Lao He's film offer, his wife lost her job, and their child fell ill. With mortgage payments and other expenses, they couldn't afford it, and the couple started arguing every day. Later, a talent agency offered Lao He a job, and after some hesitation, he signed the contract on the spot. That same day, he received a large signing bonus; the next day, he accepted a film role arranged for him by the company. I don't know what happened after that, but less than two weeks later, his wife divorced him. Lao He moved out of their home and now lives in a company-provided dormitory. Oh, and he also demanded a luxury car worth 500,000 yuan. I heard that Lao He has a new girlfriend who owns a film company, but things aren't going well right now, and Lao He is trying to help her revive it..."
Kwong Sum does indeed own a film and television company, and it is facing bankruptcy.
She's currently scrambling to secure investment and pull strings to help her company overcome its difficulties.
But why did they come to Lao He?
Jian Yu also asked An Ke this question.
Encore: "Old He actually has many classmates and friends who are very well-known in the entertainment industry, such as theater judges, directors, screenwriters, as well as directors in film and television, and television directors. These people know many good producers. In the past, Old He pursued high standards and was unwilling to compromise with the market, so those producers had to give up on him. Now he has lowered his stance, and many are willing to work with him. You don't know, in the past, someone was frustrated with their creative work and had no choice but to ask Old He for help. Old He simply made some adjustments for them, and that play won a local award that year. This is not an isolated case, so many classmates are willing to maintain a good relationship with him privately."
"......"
That makes sense now.
