Qi Wei was filled with doubts.
I have a feeling that something is off about this.
By all accounts, Pang Zhengming doesn't seem like a magnanimous person.
This guy is very likely taking credit for something in front of the lady.
No, she insisted on confirming this with the young marshal; she couldn't let Pang Zhengming benefit from it!
"Sister Qi? What's wrong?" Lu Xueqing couldn't help but ask when she saw her lost in thought.
Qi Wei snapped out of her daze and smiled, "It's alright, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Xueqing nodded and said, "Pang Zhengming wants to treat me to dinner. Why don't you come with me? I really don't want to face this person alone!"
Qi Wei immediately nodded, "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll go with you!"
Soon, it was time to leave work.
The two returned to the Kailai Hotel together.
Lin Yu has already returned and is cooking in the kitchen.
Lu Xueqing went to the bathroom to take a shower, while Qi Wei volunteered to help Lin Yu in the kitchen.
He then reported what had just happened to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu frowned after hearing this. "That Pang Zhengming is shameless! If I hadn't called Hu Wenyong, Tan Qingqing would never have come to Guanzhong!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Wei's face immediately darkened. "As expected! This Pang Zhengming is truly disgusting; he actually stole your credit!"
"Young Marshal, I'll go tell Madam right away that Tan Qingqing's matter has nothing to do with him, and Madam doesn't need to accept his favor or have dinner with him!" Qi Wei turned around to tell Lu Xueqing the truth.
Lin Yu stopped her, "Forget it, Xueqing will naturally know the truth when we meet with the TV station. There's no need to go through all this trouble! As for the dinner invitation from that guy surnamed Pang, let's go. Aren't you going too? Eat as much as you can for me. Abalone, shark fin, '82 red wine—anything that won't choke you, order as much as you want. It's a waste not to eat! Look at you and Xueqing, you've both lost weight from being so busy lately, you need to eat more!"
"Um..." Qi Wei blushed. "Young Marshal, aren't you jealous that your wife is having dinner with another man?"
Lin Yu shrugged. "Why would I be jealous? We've been married for three years. Don't we even have this much trust? Don't worry, my wife doesn't think much of someone like Pang Zhengming. She would never betray me. I'm confident in that!"
"Besides, with you by my side, what else could I possibly worry about!" Lin Yu added.
Qi Wei thought about it and realized that it made sense!
"Hehe, then I'll eat a lot tomorrow and really rip him off!"
"Absolutely! Eat as much as you want!"
The two were talking and laughing.
Lu Xueqing, wrapped in a bath towel, walked over and leaned against the doorway. "What are you two talking about that makes you so happy?"
Qi Wei looked embarrassed, "President Lu..."
"I didn't say anything, I just said you two have both lost weight recently, so you should eat more of this stewed goose I made today!" Lin Yu explained with a smile.
Lu Xueqing rolled her eyes at him, "How annoying! I've only been doing yoga for two days and haven't even lost weight yet, and you're already tempting me!"
"Hey! Is it ready yet? I'm starving!"
"Here we go!"
Immediately, Lin Yu came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming pot.
"Authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine, stewed pork belly in an iron pot! Let's dig in!"
Lin Yu's use of dialect immediately made the two of them burst into laughter.
...
The next day.
Lu Xueqing and Qi Wei went to work early, and Lin Yu also received a call from Zhang Jiefang.
It turns out that the first episode of the show was being recorded today, and Wang Xuesen invited Lin Yu to the set to provide guidance.
Also invited were Liu Zhongyi and his grandson, as well as several other guests.
Since Lin Yu had already agreed to be a guest, he naturally wouldn't refuse. After getting ready, he immediately headed to the program team.
When they arrived at the scene, almost everyone had arrived.
Besides the host, Tan Qingqing!
"What's wrong with Tan Qingqing? Weren't we supposed to record today? Why hasn't she come yet? Hey you, give her a call right now!"
Wang Xuesen urged his subordinates with a dissatisfied expression.
The subordinate made a phone call to inquire, and returned with a long face to Wang Xuesen, saying, "Wang Tai, Tan Qingqing said she has some personal matters to attend to in Yandu, so she won't be coming today. She wants us to rehearse first!"
"Bullshit! It was all planned out. You think she can just say she won't broadcast it?"
Wang Xuesen was so angry that he threw the script on the ground.
Everyone said Tan Qingqing was a diva, and now he's seen it for himself!
Zhang Jiefang shook his head, walked over and said, "Alright, Lao Wang, if you don't want to come, that's fine. But we've invited Mr. Lin and several experts over today, so you have to cover the meals! We won't have lunch without Moutai!"
He was also trying to smooth things over for Wang Xuesen, since everyone had already come, and they couldn't just leave everyone hanging.
"Absolutely! How about this, we'll rehearse first, and then I'll treat everyone to dinner, okay?" Wang Xuesen asked everyone with a smile.
Liu Zhongyi looked at Lin Yu and said, "Mr. Lin, what do you think..."
Lin Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, I'm fine with anything. I mainly came to watch the excitement. By the way, has the treasure owner arrived today? Why don't we take a look at the treasure first?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's look at the treasures first! Xiao Liu, go and invite all the owners of these treasures over! Let's have some experts take a look!" Wang Xuesen hurriedly shouted.
"Hello, King's Terrace!"
His subordinates hurriedly went to invite the owner of the treasure.
The first owner of the treasure was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and with a large belly.
This man is named Li Xianren, a well-known big boss in Guanzhong, who owns several chain hotels and has assets worth hundreds of millions. He is also a celebrity in the art collection world.
Li Xian, true to his name, is a free spirit. Whenever there's any excitement in the antique world, he'll join in.
