"It is indeed a work by Saorsa."
Yu Li laughed loudly:
"That's right! It just so happened that President Lu and President Li met at the summit, so I asked President Lu to invite President Li for me."
"So you're a friend of President Lu's. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Director Chen was somewhat suspicious, but he could only force a smile and put on a mature demeanor as he prepared to entertain the guests.
Seriously... He clearly didn't make an appointment with this person, and Yu Li didn't even tell him beforehand that he had made an appointment with someone else.
But then again, this was a deal for Mu Yiran, so it wouldn't do him any harm. He could only sit down and act as a mascot, while asking when his sugar daddy would arrive.
Qi Qiulin exclaimed in surprise, "What a coincidence! So President Li came here specifically to collaborate with Aorsa? Aorsa is truly blessed to be appreciated by President Li."
Before the man could answer, Wen Qingyu interjected:
"Actually, there are many excellent studios in China. President Li, wouldn't you like to learn more about them?"
Li Zhenrong said "Oh": "But I'm a bit shy around strangers, and I only like to interact with people I'm familiar with."
Wen Qingyu gave him a look that said, "You just don't understand."
"Jewelry is something that is one in a million. President Li might as well compare more options. You can only know the quality by comparing three different shops."
Helian Xin, standing beside her, looked at her like she was an idiot, "Do you think you're selling pork?!"
"Who are you talking about! Are you ever going to stop?! Do you really think you're some kind of movie queen that everyone has to fawn over?!" Wen Qingyu had been putting up with her for a long time, and her expression immediately turned sour.
The smoke of battle could ignite at any moment.
The two people disliked each other so much that they didn't care about the occasion and just wanted to have a good fight.
Lu Tingyi felt a little embarrassed: "Qingyu! Stop fooling around!"
"What am I doing! You're actually playing matchmaker for someone else, do you even think she needs it!" Wen Qingyu was equally annoyed with everyone.
Helian Xin scoffed coldly, too lazy to watch this person go crazy. She had already lost enough face today because of Wen Qingyu!
What a joke, he's actually my own teammate!
Even ghost stories aren't as scary as having such a terrible teammate!
Standing up haughtily, Helian Xin said coldly, "I have other things to do, so I won't have this meal. See you on set another day."
Seeing Helian Xin leave, Wen Qingyu didn't want to stay any longer either. She pulled Lu Tingyi to leave, but Lu Tingyi was held tightly by her. His eyes were fixed on Mu Yiran, but she completely ignored him.
He wanted to stay and look after Mu Yiran, but he also knew that Wen Qingyu was throwing a tantrum because of Mu Yiran, and staying would only escalate the conflict and be detrimental to Mu Yiran's business negotiations...
Thinking of this, Lu Tingyi had no choice but to take Wen Qingyu away from the table first, intending to return after calming Wen Qingyu down.
As he passed by Mu Yiran, he couldn't help but add, "I haven't been able to help you much with your studio all this time. It wasn't easy to get an appointment with President Li here, so discussing a collaboration would be beneficial for you—"
"Lu Tingyi! Have you said enough?!"
Helpless, Lu Tingyi quickly took Wen Qingyu and left.
“Hey Qingyu! This child,” Qi Qiulin called out a few times, then awkwardly said to President Li, “has a childish temper, can’t discuss cooperation, and doesn’t know how to stay and learn from each other. How can she grow up?”
"Now it seems I won't have the honor of having dinner with President Li?"
Li Zhenrong smiled faintly and shrugged: "Sorry, let's reschedule for another day."
Qi Qiulin didn't say much, but offered a glass of red wine and left with a smile.
The door to the private room behind her slowly closed, the warm light projected behind her gradually disappeared, and the smile on Qi Qiulin's face vanished in an instant...
She strode over to the next private room, saw Wen Qingyu alone inside, and rushed forward to pull her up forcefully.
Are you an idiot?!
"What are you doing! Let go of me!" Wen Qingyu struggled in pain and shook off Qi Qiulin's hand.
The two glared at each other, their faces contorted with rage, a far cry from their previous affectionate and intimate aunt and nephew relationship.
"Have you forgotten why we came here?! Didn't you know how to read the room when you left?! Do you want to stay here and get photographed with Mu Yiran?!"
Wen Qingyu screamed:
"How dare you talk to me like that! Why did Zhou Yuan even come?! Didn't you make all the arrangements?! And now look at that! How did that crazy woman mock me today?! With her around, who would even watch my group? How can Helian Xin compare to her!"
Qi Qiulin was incredibly annoyed. "She's mocking you because you're stupid! Do you think the production team is your home?! You don't even think before you speak! Once it's recorded, it could be made public at any time! Then it won't just be her mocking you, it will be the whole internet mocking you!"
"I'm only doing this to clean up your mess! If I didn't have dirt on Helian Xin, do you think she'd still be with you?"
"If she doesn't want to, then get out! You come here! Don't forget, this is what you owe us!"
Wen Qingyu pointed at her, "You said you'd give me all the benefits? But why did Mu Yiran get all the kickbacks! You even had Lu Tingyi introduce clients to her? What, after ten years, are you going through menopause and trying to compensate Mu Yiran?!"
She approached Qi Qiulin and threatened her sharply:
"Don't forget, you weren't the one who did the dirty work, but you were the one who came up with the idea."
Yes, it's you!
"......."
She looked at Qi Qiulin, whose face was deathly pale, and smiled eerily:
"You said Li Bingcheng has been cutting your business one after another lately, could it be that he already knows? Should I make him even clearer about what terrible things his junior sister did in the past!"
Qi Qiulin took a deep breath, wiped her face, and a gentle smile returned to her face. "...Calm down. We're in the same boat. What good will it do me to help Mu Yiran?"
“Zhou Yuan was an accident, but Li Zhenrong, don’t you know what kind of business he’s in?”
"Oh."
Wen Qingyu knew this, of course; otherwise, she wouldn't have left just now. If she couldn't steal Mu Yiran's business, she would have ruined it!
Seeing that she had calmed down, Qi Qiulin went up and led the people to sit down, saying softly:
“We’re here today. Once Yu Li releases the trailer and it gets popular, we’ll have someone leak the photos of you having dinner together tonight. As long as we say that this meal was eaten before the team was formed, all those passersby who were mocking you will turn around. Even if Zhou Yuan’s fans speak up for Mu Yiran, it won’t outweigh the passersby who feel sorry for cursing you.”
"I did all this to pave the way for you. What is Mu Yiran compared to that?"
"snort."
Wen Qingyu got angry when she thought about how Lu Tingyi had been busy running around in H country when he really thought he could help Mu Yiran get together with him!
Her face hardened. "What about Mu Yiran? Can she hold out until then?"
Qi Qiulin, however, was completely unconcerned, saying, "Whether she can make it to that time or not is none of our business."
"We know nothing."
She seemed to revert to her usual elegant self, gently patting Wen Qingyu's face. "We just need to focus on our own tasks. Now, you should go back and work on your drafts all night, okay?"
Wen Qingyu was about to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"who!"
Su Su stood cautiously behind the crack in the door. "Senior, Mr. Lu will be back soon."
Wen Qingyu immediately stood up. Her phone suddenly rang; it was Jiang Wen calling. She hung up impatiently, but turned back at the door and said:
"That Helian Xin, you should teach her a lesson. What a load of rubbish, this so-called movie queen, what's with her acting so arrogant towards me!"
“I’m in the same boat as you, but not with her!” she deliberately reminded Qi Qiulin again.
"Also, can you find the information about the Shi family faster? Aren't you doing very well abroad? How come you can't even get a single photo of Shi Youxi? Tsk."
Qi Qiulin was very easy to talk to. "I understand. I'll tell your mom as soon as I have any news."
Wen Qingyu walked away comfortably in her high heels.
"..."
The door closed again, and the light shone on the glass table, but it couldn't illuminate the woman's face reflected on it, leaving only a black outline.
After a while, Qi Qiulin finally walked out of the private room. She walked naturally past the entrance of Guanhaiyuan, and the only sound in the corridor was the sound of her high heels.
A thin red carpet was laid on the floor, stretching all the way to the end.
The road is so long, but thankfully it feels great to walk on a carpet, and you don't need any partners on the road to success.
Qi Qiulin enjoyed the feeling of walking on it.
Whether it's Wen Qie, Mu Yiran, or anyone else, they'll all be like that closed private room.
She stepped on my foot.
Qi Qiulin calmly stepped into the elevator, put on her sunglasses, and dialed a number. "Hello, Director Jing, it's been a long time. Are you still working at Guan Yi?"
"--bite!"
The elevators opened and closed alternately, and Ai Ni, along with Candice who had appeared out of nowhere, stepped out.
"Hello, may I ask if you are—"
Before the waiter could finish speaking, he was swept away by a force.
Ai Ni kicked the door of the first private room behind him.
