Chapter 101
The moment Qin Su opened the room door, everyone held their breath.
The celebrity observers in the observation room, the staff filming in the Heartbeat House, countless viewers watching in different settings, and other guests who seemed to have a premonition.
Everyone looked up slightly in Qin Su's direction, awaiting an unknown outcome.
Qin Su walked out of the room, through the hall and the entrance, and stood at the front door of the Heartbeat House.
The car that was supposed to pick her up had been waiting outside for quite some time.
The cameramen hurriedly followed, asking in confusion, "Weren't we supposed to choose inside?"
The cold white light from the doorway shone on Qin Su's face, making her dark and serene eyes resemble a bottomless lake.
She said, "I won't choose anyone."
The staff member was stunned and repeated, "You're not choosing anyone?"
This...this won't do.
The show was filmed over forty days, with various topics constantly trending on social media, attracting unprecedented attention. Qin Su, as the most popular contestant, was the focus of all viewers' anticipation.
In the end, she didn't choose anyone.
How are we going to explain this to the audience?
The staff member wanted to say something, but when she looked up and met Qin Su's face, all the words stuck in her throat and she swallowed them back.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then may I ask why?"
Qin Su said, "If I had to give a reason, it would be that I want to focus on my career first."
"Career?" The staff member perked up. "Is it dancing?"
Qin Su smiled gently and said, "No, I'm going back to inherit the family business."
She held onto the car door the driver had opened for her, and glanced back meaningfully at the Heartbeat House, as if speaking to the audience, or perhaps to the production team.
"People who are destined to meet will always reunite, and I look forward to the surprise of our reunion."
………
"Meeting Your Heartbeat" has officially come to an end!
As a dating reality show, it has created too many legends, with excellent ratings and word-of-mouth, breaking multiple records in the past decade, and is known as a phenomenon-level variety show.
Those who watched the live stream should watch the edited version again, and those who watched the edited version should search for the live stream recording on various platforms.
Every meeting, conversation, and date of the guests was thoroughly studied and analyzed.
Qin Su, who is the most popular among them, has had her every move magnified and interpreted and speculated on from multiple angles.
The two questions that everyone is most curious about are: who she likes and what gifts she received in the end.
Unfortunately, only the person involved can answer these two questions, and Qin Su has already gone to inherit the family business.
Qin Su was not joking when she said she would inherit the family business.
She has never forgotten why she came into this world.
The original owner's wish was to receive lots and lots of love, but being loved is often conditional.
Qin Su and Shi Mudan had a long talk all night, and the next day they entered the manufacturing plant of Mudan Food Group.
Like a typical management trainee, she started by rotating through different positions, working in each one for a period of time.
The source of seasoning recipes, the selection of food ingredients, the model of processing machinery, and even the design of packaging patterns—the work is the same as most things in this world. You have to see and experience it for yourself to truly understand its intricacies.
Soon after, Qin Su officially joined the management of the Peony Group as its successor. The first project she took over was the development of a specialty restaurant in cooperation with the Ye family.
This marks the first time the Ye family has ventured into the food industry, and they have extended an olive branch to the national brand, Peony Foods.
Three years after the variety show was filmed, the project came to an end.
After the project teams from both companies finished their debriefing meetings, they suggested having a celebratory dinner together. Ye Yan and Qin Su, as the heads of their respective groups, were the first to head out.
Seeing Qin Su busy replying to messages, Ye Yan gently patted her arm and reminded her, "Watch the threshold."
Qin Su casually hummed in agreement, her hands still typing.
Ye Yan asked, "Is it a work message?"
After replying, Qin Su put away her phone and said, "No, it's Chu Ge. She said her flight is tonight and asked if I want to go for a drink now."
Over the course of three years, Qin Su maintained contact with the other guests, continuing to communicate and meet with them intermittently.
Everyone is doing well.
For example, Gu Chiyan's investment company is already quite large and well-known in the industry. For example, Jin Xiao has repeatedly made amazing performances in e-sports competitions and is known as a genius player. For example, Xu Shishi switched jobs to become a manager in a luxury goods group and realized her dream of increasing her annual salary several times. After receiving her bonus recently, she told Qin Su, "I don't want to marry into a wealthy family anymore. My dream is to become a wealthy family."
Cheng Fubai's fame soared after participating in the show. Not only were his commissioned articles incredibly expensive, but even his hobby of painting was in high demand. Xue Jianxing's flower shop expanded its territory and opened two more branches. The hometown that Qin Su had visited was being developed into a tourist area and would be completed next year.
The one who changed the least was Chu Ge. She was a free spirit. After the show aired, many people wanted to collaborate with her, but she refused them all. She still spends half of her time each year running a tattoo shop and the other half traveling. She often comes to Qin Su's company without saying hello, has a meal, and then leaves.
A few days ago, she returned from Antarctica and came to see Qin Su again. She happened to run into Ye Yan. The two of them looked at each other in the reception room, but didn't say a word. They sat at opposite ends as if they didn't know each other.
Upon hearing her name, Ye Yan immediately revealed a forced smile.
He didn't say anything, only asked, "Do you want to go over there?"
Qin Su turned around and looked at the large group of people behind her: "What will happen to these people if I go over there? Will you keep an eye on them for me?"
Ye Yan said, "It would be fine under normal circumstances, but not today."
Qin Su glanced at him and said, half-jokingly, "Things aren't like they used to be. Work has tied my hands and feet."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Ye Yan lowered his eyelashes, concealing the expression in his eyes. "Peony's market value has increased by 200% this year, and I've heard that many media outlets want to interview you."
Qin Su said, "There are quite a few. Three business media outlets and seven gossip media outlets. The first thing they ask me when we meet is whether I'm still single, instead of asking about my work performance."
Ye Yan couldn't help but laugh: "After all, the popularity of variety shows is still going strong."
"The production team contacted me last week," Qin Suman said casually. "They said the variety show is about to have its third anniversary, and they asked if I had time for a reunion."
Riding the wave of success from its first season, "Meet Your Heartbeat" ran for two more seasons, also using a live broadcast + editing format, and achieved good results, but still fell far short of the first season.
I heard that the organizers are planning the fourth season and want to find people by imitating the guest lineup of the first season. They tentatively revealed a beautiful female guest who studies dance, but the audience did not buy it and criticized the organizers for their precipitous drop in the aesthetic level of finding people.
So the production team turned their attention to the guests from the first season, hoping to hold a reunion and also boost the popularity of the fourth season.
Ye Yan looked at her: "What do you say?"
As Qin Su stepped out of the company gate and descended the steps, she said, "I said, what's the point of a get-together after three years? Let's wait until ten or eight years later."
Ye Yan paused for a moment, not knowing why, and asked, "Ten or eight years?"
Qin Su's phone pinged, a new message notification had arrived, probably from Chu Ge.
Qin Su opened the app to reply to the message, casually saying, "I was just saying, who knows if it will still be around in ten or eight years."
Ye Yan stood still, watching her get into the car and be surrounded by project team members talking to her, slightly lost in thought.
His own company's people also rushed up and, seeing the situation, hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
Ye Yan said blankly, "It's nothing. I just realized that deceiving myself doesn't work."
