Chapter 26 Cen Ran collapsed (updated in advance on the 7th)

Perhaps it was out of sympathy, Zhou Jing inexplicably treated Qi Nian as a friend.

Zhou Jing: "I think you are such a nice person. Others would just advise me to eat less, but I can't control myself. I will be in a bad mood if I don't eat."

Qi Nian understands, can you feel good without carbohydrates?

Zhou Jing said, and then told Qi Nian his thoughts: "Actually, I don't want to enter the entertainment industry at all."

Qi Nian gave him a puzzled look.

Zhou Jing explained: "My mother made me enter the entertainment industry. I didn't want to tell anyone, but you are my friend and you are not in the entertainment industry. You can say that my mother is Zhu Yan."

Zhu Yan is a famous director who has made many classic films.

Qi Nian was a little surprised. He had just watched a movie directed by Zhu Yan yesterday. He didn't expect that the person next to him was Zhu Yan's son.

Maybe it was because he loved Zhou Jing, Qi Nian was willing to talk to him more. He asked, "So Director Zhu Yan arranged for you to play the role of Exorcist?"

Zhou Jing nodded and said, "My mother said that I am still a newcomer, so I should shoot some ancient costume dramas first. Otherwise, with my acting skills, I will definitely be scolded if I go directly to my mother's crew to film."

Qi Nian said dryly, "Then Director Zhu Yan really cares about you."

"That's not the case at all!" Zhou Jing said angrily, "I secretly heard my mom tell my dad that day that she was afraid I would ruin her movie, so she would rather use her connections to help me get the job than let me film with her crew."

Everyone thought: "..."

However, he thinks Director Zhu Yan did the right thing.

But there is no need to say this.

Zhou Jing continued to complain, "I don't want to enter the entertainment industry at all, but my mother said that I am a bad student and have no brains. Of all the 360 ​​professions, only the entertainment industry can tolerate me. She also said that I am not qualified to be an actor now, which is an insult to the word actor. If I really can't make it, she will send me to debut in a boy band and become an idol. After all, idols only need to have a good-looking face. Oh, she said that nowadays, a good-looking face is not necessary. I am barely considered a good idol."

Qi Nian: "Director Zhu... you are so brave."

Zhou Jing still had some brains. Hearing this, he quickly said, "I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone else, or my mother will be scolded to death."

Qi Nian nodded to reassure him, but it seemed that Zhou Jing still cared about his mother.

Just as I was thinking this, Zhou Jing said, "If my mother gets scolded, she will definitely come back to vent her anger on me. She will beat me to death. Don't be fooled by my mother's calm appearance in front of the media. She is very irritable when facing me."

Qi Nian didn't know whether to sympathize with Director Zhu Yan or Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing finished speaking and smiled gleefully again: "However, I think entering the entertainment industry is not without its benefits. I never thought that my first movie would be with my goddess."

Qi Nian was silent for a moment, then asked, "Your goddess is... Cen Ran."

She looked at Zhou Jing with a nod and said dreamily, "She's really nice. She's not like others who bully me just because they know I'm a newbie."

Qi Nian asked: "Does she know who your mother is?"

Zhou Jing shook his head: "She doesn't know, so I said she is different from others."

Qi Nian looked at Zhou Jing with sympathy. Did Cen Ran really not know?

He now believed that Zhou Jing was really stupid.

No wonder Cen Ran had ambiguous relationships with so many people and only confirmed a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Zhou Jing.

A man in love...Qinian didn't know whether she should remind him.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is not Zhou Jing.

Qi Nian found Xiao Chu under a tree. He was still wearing a black zippered suit, sitting on a rock under the tree, looking at his phone.

When he came over, Xiao Chu looked up and put away his phone. Qi Nian saw the bruised forehead at a glance.

Qi Nian frowned: "Your head."

Xiao Chu lowered his head and whispered, "I fell accidentally."

Under normal circumstances, how could he fall here? Qi Nian frowned, feeling that Xiao Chu's condition was more serious than he thought.

Qi Nian couldn't help but speak.

Xiao Chu was stunned for a moment: "You said you wanted to help me?"

Qi Nian nodded and pursed her lips and said, "I know your forehead is because of Cen Ran. You... also have injuries on your body, right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chu immediately looked at Qi Nian. Her eyes were sharp for a moment, but she quickly retracted her gaze and whispered, "No, I'm not hurt."

This was the first time Qi Nian took the initiative to do this, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse. For a moment, he didn't know how to continue, so he could only say dryly: "Don't be afraid, I... I have a way."

Maybe it was because Shishi Qi Nian’s gaze was too sincere, Xiao Chu smiled. When she smiled, the gloomy feeling she had before was completely gone, and she became sunny.

But she quickly stopped smiling: "I'm not the one who needs help."

Qi Nian didn't understand what he said, and before he could come to his senses, Xiao Chu had already left.

He didn't know why Xiao Chu refused. It didn't look like he was afraid of Cen Ran's revenge. It seemed that the other party had some purpose.

Qi Nian is a gossiper by nature, but he doesn't like to delve into other people's privacy. Usually, the gossip in his mind is automatically triggered by the people he meets.

There are two situations: either that person is harmed, or that person harms others.

Xiao Chu obviously did not fall into either of these two categories. Qi Nian now only knew that Xiao Chu had been abused by Cen Ran.

But why did he refuse his help?

Qi Nian was a little confused, but unfortunately the two-day filming ended quickly, and he followed Chu Tianheng to leave the program crew.

It wasn't until a few days later that he saw a piece of big news on Weibo that shocked the entertainment industry.

A few days ago...

That day, Cen Ran was in a bad mood because the episode of "Everyday With You" in which she participated in the recording was broadcast.

However, the effect of the program was completely different from what Cen Ran had imagined.

Because her performance in the first half was particularly bad and a bit stupid, in order to avoid attracting negative attention, the program crew cut her content as requested.

So she barely appeared in the first half.

"Everyday With You" is very popular. When it is broadcast, there are constant discussions in the square.

Since there were almost no shots of Cen Ran in the first half, Cen Ran's fans were unhappy and cursed the program crew for being unkind in public and deliberately cutting out Cen Ran's shots.

Cen Ran knew, of course, that this was not the program crew's fault, but she would not miss this great opportunity to act pitiful.

So she posted a Weibo to express her gratitude to fans for their concern and that she was fine.

Obviously, as soon as the Weibo post came out, fans were like chickens with blood injected, and felt even more distressed for their own sister.

Cen Ran has been in the industry for a long time, and a TV series became a huge hit right when she debuted. That series is still considered a classic, so her fan base is still very solid after all these years.

Fans have strong cohesion and fighting power, and no one can resist them when they start to curse others.

The first half of "Everyday With You" was broadcast for such a short time that it even became a hot search, and fans expressed their grievances for their own sisters in various ways.

Cen Ran was very satisfied after seeing the trending searches. Even though she rarely appeared on the show, she was still able to gain popularity.

Moreover, she appeared more in the second half, and her interactions with Zhou Jing were just enough to boost the popularity.

She had good intentions, but later on, the situation was completely different from what she had imagined!

She thought the scene was very sweet, but the audience complained about it, and people in the square even asked how Cen Ran became so greasy.

"Really, I never thought that a female star could make such a greasy expression,"

"Hahaha, it turns out that no matter whether you are a man or a woman, you should never make expressions that you think are good-looking, because most of the time you are overdoing it."

"Time is indeed a pig-killing knife, killing everyone equally."

"Who still remembers that Cen Ran and Chu Xiangfeng debuted together? They both started from the same starting line, but Chu Xiangfeng became the best actress in movies, a well-deserved powerhouse, while Cen Ran is still hanging around in idol dramas, and has to hype up a couple with newcomers...”

"What's wrong with the newcomer? I think this actor is pretty good, ahhh...his eyes are like a puppy, I like him!"

"Yeah, yeah, I think so too. It's a pity that Cen Ran is too greasy, otherwise I could have eaten some. But now... I'm sorry, I can't eat it."

"Don't compare. Cen Ran is no longer comparable to Chu Xiangfeng."

With a loud bang, Cen Ran smashed the phone into pieces. Her pretty face became particularly fierce as she cursed, "Chu Xiangfeng, that bitch, how... how can she say that I can't compare to her? She is just a bitch who relies on men to get to the top!"

After Cen Ran finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Chu coldly, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Xiao Chu on the face, muttering neurotically: "Chu Xiangfeng... Chu Xiangfeng... why don't you just die!"

After saying that, she raised her high-heeled feet and kicked Xiao Chu hard.

Xiao Chu was kicked to the ground in an instant, her face wrinkled and she covered her stomach in pain. Her face became red and swollen, and there were blood marks left by Cen Ran's nails.

Xiao Chu was shaking with fear, muttering, "I'm not Chu Xiangfeng, I'm not...ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Cen Ran hit him again as if to vent his anger.

After a few more hard hits, Xiao Chu finally couldn't stand it anymore. She couldn't control her outburst: "How could you do this? I'm also a human being. Aren't you afraid that I will tell others?"

As she spoke, Xiao Chu raised her head and looked at Cen Ran with tears on her face. She was obviously holding on and her body was still shaking.

This sentence irritated Cen Ran again, and she kicked and hit her hard. After a few hits, Cen Ran seemed tired and lifted her hair. Her pretty face was like a venomous snake. She looked at Xiao Chu who dared not speak and sneered: "Are you afraid? The last "Xiao Chu" threatened me in this way."

Xiao Chu slowly tightened his fingers and said nothing.

Cen Ran continued, "Do you know where she is now? Hahahaha... She is in a hospital bed and will have to spend the rest of her life in bed!"

Cen Ran was not afraid at all that Xiao Chu would tell anyone. The people she recruited were targeted. At the beginning, she would be very nice to the other party, and then she would test their bottom line little by little, from insulting them, to pushing them, and finally to beatings.

If something breaks out in the front, Cen Ran will give the other party a large sum of money, and the other party will choose to keep quiet.

Those who can endure until being beaten here and still dare not resist are all cowards. They don't dare to resist at all!

It's a pity that in all these years, she has only met these two.

The previous "Xiao Chu" and this Xiao Chu.

Cen Ran said with a sigh: "Who made her dare to resist and attack me? I "accidentally" pushed her down the stairs. I was shocked at the time. Later, "Xiao Chu"'s legs were disabled and she had to lie in bed for the rest of her life, but so what? She couldn't prove that I did it, and in the end it could only be classified as an accident. My fans were even more stupid. They thought they were also wronged and came to comfort me. Alas... I accidentally abused a group of fans, but guess what? They are more loyal to me, hahaha..."

Cen Ran crossed his arms and looked at Xiao Chu with a gloomy look. "Go ahead and tell them and see who will believe you. Oh, even if someone believes you, so what? Do you know what my fans will do? They will find out your identity and address, and send death threats to your parents."

She admired the beautiful manicure on her hands and sighed, "I will at most face a little suspicion, but you and your family will have to live in fear for the rest of your life, living in the abyss for the rest of your life. I am still my big star, but you can only be a bug in the gutter. Haha... This world is so unfair."

Xiao Chu felt her whole body was cold. She hugged herself shivering and looked at Cen Ran with fear.

Cen Ran was very satisfied with her look: "You'd better behave yourself. Don't worry, I will pay for your medical expenses this time and treat the wound on your face. I feel sick just looking at you."

After saying that, she took out a few red banknotes from her luxury bag and threw them at Xiao Chu.

Under Cen Ran's gaze, Xiao Chu picked up the banknotes on the ground, stood up, lowered his head, and limped out of the room.

Seeing that she was still as well behaved as before, Cen Ran felt relieved. He glanced at the phone on the ground and called another assistant: "Buy me a new phone immediately. Also, call the publicity department and ask them what's going on. Can't they suppress the online comments? Why do I support them for nothing?!"

Here, several of Cen Ran's assistants were working hurriedly, and after leaving Cen Ran's residence, Xiao Chu took a taxi and went home.

She opened the door, took out her recorder, removed the memory card, inserted it into the computer, and clicked play.

The conversation just now echoed clearly in the room.

Xiao Chu dragged the recording file into a folder, which contained various videos, recordings, and injury appraisals.

She exhaled, packaged the documents and sent them to someone.

Xiao Chu sent a message to the other party with shining eyes.

[Chu Qian from the News Department]: Editor-in-chief, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission.

That night, the lights on the entire floor of the Qunzhong Daily were on all night, and everyone worked overtime to write a news release that was full of heart-wrenching words.

This press release is a thousand words long, which is the result of the editors of the Qunzhong Daily using concise language.

From beginning to end, the press release described Cen Ran's evil deeds without any subjective attitude, and the victims' experiences were laid out, and every word was heartbreaking.

The pictures in the film show the injuries on Xiao Chu and Chu Qiang's bodies, which are particularly glaring. Their experiences are even more chilling.

Cen Ran grabbed her hair, banged her head against the wall, kicked her with high heels, and made her eat noodles on the ground. This is simply not treating her assistant as a human being!

It is hard to imagine that this would happen in modern society.

Because it was so shocking, the entire entertainment industry was shaken after the press release was released!

Cen Ran slept too late last night, so she had no idea what happened. She was woken up by a call from her agent.

Cen Ran was suddenly woken up and was in a bad mood. As soon as he answered the phone, he muttered: "I already told you that I need to have a beauty sleep in the morning, don't bother me!"

Under normal circumstances, Cen Ran's agent would have certainly coaxed this ancestor in a gentle manner, but today the other party was not in that mood.

He immediately yelled, "You're still in the mood to sleep!"

Cen Ran was stunned by the yelling. When she knew what happened, she panicked and lost her arrogance: "Brother, what should I do now? Please help me. It's all because of that jerk Xiao Chu! Brother, you..."

"Let me help you? How can I help you?" The agent almost laughed out of anger: "Now brands are eager to cut ties with you, fearing that they will be influenced by you. Now you can just wait to pay a sky-high penalty!"

After saying this, the agent immediately hung up the phone. The other party had obviously made his choice.

Cen Ran was completely panicked. He was barefoot in his pajamas and yelled, "Where is that bastard Xiao Chu? Get him out of here!"

Unsurprisingly, no one responded. Her assistants should have known the news, so how could they come over?

Cen Ran looked for someone to help her with shaking hands. Not surprisingly, no one answered her call. Finally, someone answered, but the other party scolded Cen Ran: "It's so fucking unlucky. Just because I had a good relationship with you before, now netizens are scolding me too. You are an idiot!"

Cen Ran was so angry that he was shaking all over. He wanted to curse back, but the other party just hung up the phone.

Suddenly thinking of something, Cen Ran wiped away his tears and quickly called Zhou Jing.

Cen Ran cried and said pitifully, "Zhou Jing, please help me, otherwise I'm really done. Those...those were not done by me. Believe me, they were all made up by Xiao Chu. I really...really didn't expect that after I helped her so much before, she would be so ungrateful..."

Zhou Jing sighed, and Cen Ran's heart tightened. Sure enough, he heard the other party say, "The audio and video recordings are not fake. You...you are so vicious!"

Zhou Jing: "I can't help you. Perhaps only the law can clear you of the crime."

Cen Ran looked at the hung up phone blankly. For the first time, she personally felt the fear of the girl who was beaten, insulted and threatened by her.

——

Soon, someone posted photos of Cen Ran being taken away by the police online. Her hair was messy and she was without her delicate makeup, looking very different from her usual goddess self.

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that when you live long enough, you can see everything. The first goddess in history to go to prison."

"Don't even call her a goddess. It's so damn unlucky. She doesn't even treat me as a human being."

"This is really Cen Ran. I almost didn't recognize her without makeup."

"My sister must have been wrongly accused. Whose cake did Cen Ran touch?"

"The brain-dead fan of a certain Ran above has really had enough. The police are here, and you tell me that it's a false accusation?"

"Some fans are really making people laugh to death. It's ok that they have no moral values, but have their brains been eaten by your sister?"

"The upstairs people are so swearing!"

This incident was so serious that many celebrities in the entertainment industry came out to say that they had a very good relationship with their assistants. Some celebrities who had been marketing themselves as friends with their assistants took the opportunity to make some money and gained a lot of fans.

Previously, some celebrities who were exposed for treating their assistants as maids were severely criticized, and some netizens tagged the official and asked them to investigate these people thoroughly.

These stars did not dare to speak out from beginning to end, for fear that they would be criticized as soon as they spoke out.

Because of this incident, some celebrities who originally had a bad attitude towards their assistants have become more restrained, fearing that the fire would burn themselves. As a result, the assistants' lives have become much better.

Bloggers from all major platforms quickly released videos to sort out the whole story. Some bloggers even revealed that Cen Ran had abused his assistant. This had already been reported by the media, but it was quickly suppressed and did not cause much of a stir.

For a while, some netizens speculated who was behind Cen Ran, otherwise how could the other party dare to be so arrogant.

Some netizens are also concerned about the current situation of "Xiao Chu", the former assistant who was pushed down the stairs.

Chu Xiangfeng was in a bad mood when he read the news on the Internet. Not only because he didn't know the person well, but also because he was sad that he had been in contact with Cen Ran for such a long time, but he didn't discover earlier that he was abusing his assistant.

If it had been discovered earlier, the tragedy might have been avoided.

Yu Mingxiang could naturally guess what his wife was thinking, so he called her as soon as the news came out. He did not say that his wife was not sensible, but comforted her. After all, Chu Xiangfeng was also a victim.

He also told him what he learned from Qi Nian. He had originally planned to keep it secret, but there was no need to keep it secret now.

Chu Xiangfeng was silent for a long time after listening to this, and then said, "He helped me once again. No matter what happens in the future, we should remember this kindness."

Yu Mingxiang: "Of course, if he needs me in the future, I will definitely help him."

Qi Nian didn't know the couple was talking about him. He put on a mask and a hat and prepared to go out.

This outfit makes the socially anxious guy feel safe. The hat he wears is from his second brother. His second brother has a lot of hats. After all, this is a must-have for celebrities.

Qi Nian had made an appointment with Chu Qiang. Before leaving the program crew, the two added each other on WeChat. As soon as the news broke out online, Qi Nian guessed what was going on and sent a message to Chu Qiang, who then asked him out today.

Originally, Qi Nian was going to attend a red carpet event with his second brother today. As a top star, his second brother's schedule was extremely full and he had almost no time to rest. However, since he had an appointment with Chu Qian, Qi Nian did not go.

Anyway, his nominal assistant is actually useless.

——

Qi Nian paid the taxi driver and when he got out of the car he saw Chu Qian standing at the entrance of the hospital. Qi Nian almost didn't recognize her.

Chu Qian did not wear the black zippered jacket today, but a goose yellow skirt instead. Passers-by would look at her from time to time, because Chu Qian's arms and legs were covered with bruises, and there were scratches on her face from fingernails.

Faced with the scars on the other person's body, Qi Nian was deeply shocked and realized how much the other person had suffered.

But Chu Qian obviously didn't care about it, and didn't feel uncomfortable at all about the looks from passers-by.

After seeing Qi Nian, the latter immediately smiled and waved.

Completely different from his previous lifeless look, his face was filled with a vibrant smile, and even the scars on his face were not so glaring anymore, making him look like a college student who had just entered society.

Seeing that the people who were originally looking at Chu Yan were looking at him, Qi Nian quickly lowered his head and walked up to Chu Yan.

Chu Qian adjusted Qi Nian's hat and said with a smile, "You are so covered up, aren't you hot?"

Qi Nian: "...not hot."

It was actually quite hot, but it made him feel safer.

"Alright." Chu Qian shrugged and said, "Let's go. Don't let Yaya wait anxiously."

——Chu Ya, is Cen Ran’s former assistant, the girl who was pushed down the stairs by him.

According to Chu Qiang, when she first received the request for help from Chu Ya's family, she was just an intern at the Qun Zhong Daily. She was also fearless and went straight to the editor-in-chief, saying that she was willing to go undercover for Cen Ran and get evidence of his abuse of Chu Ya.

At that time, Chu Qian did not think it was a difficult thing. She thought it was cool to be an undercover agent and that she was a hero for helping Chu Ya. When she was in school, she kept saying "girls helping girls" every day. She did not expect that it would come true as soon as she graduated.

When she got to Cen Ran's side, she realized how difficult undercover work was. She had to be patient and make Cen Ran feel that she was easy to control.

At this point, Chu Qian said with shame: "There were several times when I really wanted to resist, but when I thought about how all this time was in vain, I could only endure it."

Chu Qian: "Yes, I didn't think Chu Ya was waiting for me to seek justice, but that I couldn't do it for nothing for so long."

Qi Nian looked at him sincerely and admiringly: "You are amazing, you are a real hero."

Chu Qian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and showed Qi Nian the scars on her body: "These are all hero medals!"

After she finished speaking, she whispered to Qi Nian, "Let me tell you, the night I left, I went to the hospital and asked the doctor to check my face. I'm not bad-looking after all, so I didn't want to ruin my appearance. Fortunately, the doctor said it wouldn't leave scars."

"And what's more, our editor-in-chief directly made me a full-time employee," Chu Qian said happily, "I also got a bonus of 10,000 yuan! I'll treat you to dinner later~"

Qi Nian did not refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

He really admired Chu Qian, and when he thought about some people in the entertainment industry, such as Cen Ran, who spent three thousand on a meal, he felt unfair for Chu Qian.

Chu Qian chuckled, as cunning as a fox, and no one knew what he was planning.

Qi Nian followed Chu Yan to meet Chu Ya, who was also a thin girl. She was in her twenties and Hua was the same age as her. But now, in order to stand up again, she could only undergo rehabilitation over and over again.

The other party was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but perhaps he knew that he had a chance to stand up, so he still had a smile on his face. After seeing Chu Qian and Qi Nian, he greeted them.

After a few words, Chu Ya continued her rehabilitation. Chu Qian said, "Cen Ran will have to pay a large sum of money, so the burden on Ya Ya's family won't be so heavy."

Qi Nian said, "Thank you so much."

Chu Qian smiled and said nothing.

——

The two went out to eat together at a hot pot restaurant near the hospital.

While eating hot pot, Chu Qian finally talked about her purpose again: "Well, let's keep in touch in the future, okay?"

Qi Nian blinked, not quite understanding what the other party meant.

Chu Qian rubbed her hands together and said with a chuckle, "Aren't you in the entertainment industry?"

Qi Nian took a bite of meat and shook his head: "I'm not in the entertainment industry, ... I still have to go back to school."

Chu Qian waved her hands: "Well, then there is your brother, right? Your brother is in the entertainment industry, right? Oh, by the way, your family is also a wealthy family, with lots of buffs."

Seeing Qi Nian's puzzled expression, Chu Qian explained, "Look at the entertainment industry, what kind of place is that? It's a gathering place for gossips, and then there are the rich families, who have many secrets. This is simply the happy home for us reporters. It's so convenient for a cross-border player like you. So Comrade Xiao Qi, I'm counting on you. If there is any big news, you must tell me. My future performance depends on you."

Chu Qian poured herself a glass of Coke and raised the glass: "I'll use Coke instead of wine, thank you."

Qi Nian: “…” I didn’t agree.

Chu Yan finished her Coke and sighed again, "It's a pity that I'm not a gossip reporter. Our People's Daily is too serious and can only report serious things. Otherwise, I would have been lurking beside Cen Ran for so long and would have known a lot of gossip."

"It's useless anyway, so I'll share it with you." Chu Qian said, and then began to mutter to herself, which made Qi Nian look shocked and amazed.

Chu Qian finished speaking and poked Qi Nian again: "Tell me what you know, and let's exchange information."

Qi Nian also thought that it would be better to have a give-and-take relationship, and then he also started to mutter.

"Wait." Chu Yan caught something with a reporter's amazing judgment: "Are you saying that the eldest son of the Jiang family, Jiang Yi, deliberately lost his younger brother Jiang Zhi because of jealousy?"

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment. He had just said this casually because he couldn't think of anything else at the moment. He didn't expect Chu Qian to pay special attention to this: "You want to..."

Chu Qian nodded with a smile: "As expected, being friends with you is the right choice. You know, there is a section in our People's Daily dedicated to finding people."

Qi Nian shook his head when he heard this: "No, if the Jiang family wanted to look for her, they would have already done so in a big way. I heard from my family that Jiang Yi's father would not look for her because he feels ashamed."

Chu Qian: "I know, I know. Rich families all love to save face. But there are ways. Madam Jiang should want to find someone. Most mothers are not that cruel. Since I can't do it in a big way, I can do it in private, right?"

The more Chu Qian thought about it, the more she felt that this was feasible. Although the editor-in-chief had given her a holiday, she couldn't sit still. She was at the age when she was still fearless and was not afraid of anything. At worst, she could just quit. Anyway, she didn't have a mortgage or a car loan, so she could support herself by finding a job.

Well, if that doesn't work, then be a gossip reporter.

It would be a pity if she didn't use the gossips she knew about.

Chu Qiang had already made up her mind, and Qi Nian stopped trying to persuade her. After all, what Chu Qiang was doing was a good thing to reunite mother and son.

And he quite dislikes Jiang Yi.

So, when Chu Qian asked him for Mrs. Jiang's contact information, Qi Nian said that he would ask his family for it later.

Chu Qian patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you! From now on, you are my brother and I am your sister."

Suddenly, there was another sister’s voice: “…” Okay.

He obediently called her "Sister Rose", but this ruined Chu Rose's beauty because she was an only child and had no younger brother.

After eating the hot pot, Chu Qiang left in a hurry, saying that she was busy applying to the editor-in-chief.

Chu Qian was full of confidence: "With my eloquent tongue, I will definitely be able to convince our editor-in-chief!"

Qi Nian cheered her on.

——

After saying goodbye to Chu Qian, Qi Nian was about to go back. As a socially anxious person, he was not keen on shopping. As a result, Ning Min sent a message in the "Loving Family" group.

[Ning Min]: I went shopping today and bought clothes for you.

【Ning Min】：［Photo］

[Chu Zhen]: Thank you, my wife~

【Chu Rongshi】: Thank you, Mom.

【Join the conversation】: Thank you, Auntie~

[Chu Tianheng]: Thank you, mom~

[Chu Tianyan]: Is there one for me? Is there one for me?

[Ning Min]: Yes, yes, I’ll express deliver it to you.

[Chu Tianyan]: Great, thank you mom, kiss~

[Ning Min]: Dear~

[Ning Min]: @Qi Nian, Nian Nian~, do you want your aunt to send it over to you and your second brother?

Qi Nian looked at the distance between where he was and his home and found that it was quite close.

[Qi Nian]: No need, Auntie. I'll come back to get it. I'm not with my second brother today.

[Ning Min]: That’s perfect. I’ll stay at home tonight.

【Qinian】: Good!

Qi Nian searched for nearby subways and found one about a kilometer away. Since he was not in a hurry, he planned to take the subway back.

He really didn't want to take a taxi. The driver this morning was too talkative and kept talking to him. Xiao She was probably feeling unwell.

So he would rather take the subway.

Click on the navigation, lower your head and walk in the direction of the arrow.

As he was walking, a black car stopped beside him and the window rolled down. Qi Nian's eyes lit up. It was his brother!

After a while, Qi Nian sat next to his brother, and the driver in front was driving calmly and steadily.

Qi Nian started to talk more when facing his brother, and said happily: "Brother, why did you pass by here? What a coincidence, isn't it?"

Chu Rongshi said: "A senior executive worked overtime yesterday and had a heart attack. I went to the hospital to see him."

Qi Nian's smile froze, and he felt that it was inappropriate to laugh now.

Chu Rongshi seemed to see through his confusion and said, "It's nothing serious. You need to rest for a while."

Qi Nian nodded in agreement: "That's good, no wonder it's such a coincidence, I also came to the hospital to see someone, by the way, I also made a friend, she's a reporter, she's amazing."

Qi Nian was talking nonstop, and seeing that Chu Rongshi was listening quietly and attentively, he knew that the other party did not find him annoying, and he spoke even happier.

After talking so much, he inevitably felt a little thirsty. Just when Qi Nian felt his throat was a little dry, Chu Rongshi took out a new bottle of mineral water from the side, unscrewed the bottle cap with his slender and beautiful fingers, and handed it to Qi Nian.

Qi Nian immediately thanked him happily, then took the mineral water and drank it in small sips.

He lowered his head obediently, his little curly hair was particularly soft, making him look even more obedient.

Chu Rongshi's eyes softened slightly.

Qi Nian finished drinking the water and asked, "Brother, do you still want to go back to the company?"

Chu Rongshi retracted his gaze and said, "It's the weekend today and we can rest."

"Oh, yes." Qi Nian glanced at his phone and suddenly realized something.

Having gotten used to following his second brother, he no longer feels so sensitive about the arrival of the weekend.

But Qi Nian was quite happy to hear that his brother was going home with him.

After they got home, Ning Min took out the clothes they bought and said, "Come on, you all try them on. Don't wear suits all day. Isn't it hot?"

Chu Rongshi: "It's necessary for work."

Ning Min: "Okay, okay, I need it for work, then I can wear something else after get off work."

The two men took the clothes. Qi Nian looked at his own and then at his brother's, with a question mark in his mind.

Ning Min urged, "Don't just stand there, go and try it."

Ning Min had good taste and bought a solid white short-sleeved shirt. When Qi Nian put it on, his face looked even more obedient.

When Chu Rongshi came out changed, Qi Nian was stunned. It was obviously the same clothes, but his brother looked so elegant and good-looking in it, didn't he?

Wait, same clothes?

Ning Min smiled and said, "Not bad, I bought a pair of brother suits in different colors, don't they look good?"

Except for the color, everything else is the same. Chu Rongshi's is dark blue. The exquisitely crafted shirt looks more expensive on him.

"It's a pity that your second brother is not here. Come on, let's stand together and take a photo." Ning Min stretched out her hand to greet him.

Qi Nian blinked his deer eyes and looked at his brother.

Chu Rongshi acted naturally as he walked up to Qi Nian and stood beside him. Seeing this, Qi Nian also acted much more naturally as he stood obediently beside his brother and looked at the camera.

Ning Min happily took a few photos and posted them in the family group.

Ning Min: "If you want photos, look for them in the group. No, I have to post them on WeChat Moments."

Chu Rongshi responded, and Qi Nian, who was standing next to him, saw that the other party had opened the family group.

Qi Nian was unable to see the subsequent actions because his brother left with his phone.

Qi Nian thought about it, took out his mobile phone, opened the group chat, and silently saved the photo.

Hehe, this is the first time he and his brother took a photo together.

Qi Nian stared at his brother in a daze for a while.

It's so beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people jealous.

Qi Nian puffed up his cheeks.

——

The next day, Qi Nian originally planned to go back to his second brother's place. After all, his second brother had not given him the internship certificate yet, so he couldn't run away.

As a result, I unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Jing.

Qi Nian put down his things and went out wearing the new clothes Ning Min bought for him.

He found Zhou Jing in a private room of the bar. Zhou Jing was still a little-known figure in the entertainment industry, so no paparazzi was willing to follow him and he didn't worry about being photographed at all.

As soon as he opened the door of the private room, Qi Nian smelled a strong smell of alcohol. At that moment, Qi Nian thought Zhou Jing was taking a bath in there with alcohol.

Such an outrageous thing is impossible to happen. Zhou Jing didn't take a bath with wine, he just drank a little too much.

But at least he wasn't drunk, at least he could still recognize Qi Nian: "Wuwuwu, you're finally here. I originally wanted to find friends, but found out that I have no friends, wuwuwu!"

At this point, Zhou Jing's defense broke down a little, and he cried even harder.

Qi Nian was silent for a while before comforting her, "Don't be sad."

Zhou Jing took another sip of wine.

Qi Nian: "Is it because of Cen Ran?"

Zhou Jing immediately burst into a sharp roar: "I worked so hard for two months to shoot the scene, and it was all in vain!"

Qi Nian caught the blind spot: "I remember that "The Exorcist" has more than 50 episodes. Did you shoot it for two months?"

Zhou Jing nodded: "Yes, the shooting went smoothly. I think I am very talented!"

Everyone thought: "..."

"I think it's not going to be broadcast anymore, which is not a good thing."

Zhou Jing cried again: "I'm so sad, my goddess has collapsed!"

Did it collapse? It was blown to ashes. Qi Nian looked at him with sympathy.

Zhou Jing took a deep breath and said sadly, "Actually, there is something I haven't told you. Cen Ran... is my girlfriend."

"It's okay." You don't have to confess. Anyone with eyes can see it.

Zhou Jing: "I'm so sad. I didn't expect her to be so mean, but I know she likes me."

Qi Nian was full of questions: "Why do you have this illusion?"

Zhou Jing was very confident: "Because after she got into trouble, she came to me for help immediately. She loves me so much, but... I can't help her. She did something bad... "

Everyone thought: "..."

He couldn't control his desire to complain: [Love? What kind of love? Love with eight lovers? So Zhou Jing likes an octopus spirit? ]

Zhou Jing was stunned and even forgot to cry.

Qi Nian realized that he had heard her, but she was not nervous and continued to complain: [Let me count who she was flirting with while she was dating Zhou Jing. Oh, the boss of her company. My God, he is over 50 and still bald. Cen Ran must have had a hard time. And there was also that producer before...]

When Qi Nian counted to the sixth number, Zhou Jing finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears with a "wow".

Qi Nian: Take out the machete and cut off your worldly desires.jpg
