Chapter 98 Is his life really that good?
Ji Zhi Qiu keenly noticed that after this outing, Lu Yu Nian and Ji Si Cheng's relationship had become much closer, but not in the conventional sense; it was as if the two had reached a consensus.
He had secretly asked Lu Yu Nian what had happened, but Lu Yu Nian always smiled faintly and changed the subject, refusing to listen to reason. He couldn't find out anything from Ji Si Cheng either, and Ji Zhi Qiu didn't have the courage to ask.
He stopped dwelling on the matter. The biggest obstacle had been overcome, and he planned to break the ice when he visited Lu Yu Nian's house next week.
Just imagining the scene made Ji Zhi Qiu nervous, so she decided to go to Lu Yu Nian's house to familiarize herself with the environment before officially taking the three kids to visit.
He told Lu Yu Nian about his idea, and although Lu Yu Nian agreed, he said apologetically, "I have a meeting to attend, so I'm afraid I won't be able to pick you up."
Ji Zhi Qiu said with a laugh, "I don't need such a big fuss. Just send me an address and I'll go by myself."
Lu Yu Nian paused for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll have the driver pick you up."
His tone was natural, as if it were just a trivial matter, but Ji Zhi Qiu was stunned.
He usually calls for a taxi instead of "let the driver pick you up," as if the driver works specifically for him.
Ji Zhi Qiu did not correct Lu Yu Nian's statement and understood him very well.
After all, it was her boyfriend's first time visiting, and if their positions were reversed, he would want it to be more grand.
Ji Zhi Qiu stood by the roadside waiting, and five minutes later, the car that Lu Yu Nian had called stopped in front of him.
Ji Zhi Qiu looked at it again and again, but dared not approach it for a moment.
Although he didn't know much about cars, he had a basic eye for them. This car was too understated yet luxurious, exuding an aura of wealth.
The driver opened the door and got out of the car. Ji Zhi Qiu wanted to confirm his identity again, but the driver just nodded slightly and opened the car door for him. His attitude was respectful and meticulous throughout, and his service was worthy of the car's high-class status.
Ji Zhi Qiu felt like he was in a dream. He got into the car in a daze and barely felt anything when it started. Only when he watched the scenery outside change rapidly did he quietly reach out and touch the seat below.
Is this the legendary cowhide?!
I can't tell the difference between a stray dog and a mongrel.
Ji Zhi Qiu couldn't help but swallow, then immediately took out her phone and quickly sent a message to Lu Yu Nian.
[Let's grow another leaf: This ride-hailing service and driver are amazing! Where did you find them? Were they expensive?]
Before sending it, his finger suddenly stopped. After looking at it three times, he finally deleted it.
Lu Yu Nian didn't give him any special instructions because he wanted to keep a low profile and give him a surprise. Since Lu Yu Nian was so thoughtful, he should cooperate.
It was Ji Zhi Qiu's first time riding in a luxury car. In front of the driver, she didn't dare to look or touch anything indiscriminately. She just pretended to be calm and glanced to the side intentionally or unintentionally, wanting to secretly take out her phone and take a few photos to share with Jiang Ming Chuan.
His memory was still stuck four years ago, but Jiang Mingchuan was now a hot star who had seen all kinds of luxury cars and might even make sarcastic remarks about him. Ji Zhi Qiu thought about it and decided to enjoy it himself.
Regardless of the vehicle, Ji Zhi Qiu treated everyone the same. After the initial excitement wore off, Ji Zhi Qiu seemed to have taken a sleeping pill and became drowsy, falling asleep in the back seat.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the partition between the front and back seats had been lowered to make him more comfortable. He did not disappoint the driver's kindness and fell asleep on the leather seat.
He yawned, sat up sleepily, and froze when he saw the scene outside.
He was supposed to be visiting Lu Yu Nian's home, but for some reason he ended up at another resort, which was more like a manor.
Ji Zhi Qiu's eyes were too busy to take it all in. He stared straight outside, his lips parted as if he had something to say, but he was too shocked to speak.
Living here would improve one's mood. In a daze, Ji Zhi Qiu saw the figure of Ji Yan Yan in his mind. When Ji Yan Yan saw such a big lawn, she must have let go and done parkour in circles, rolling on the ground, her clothes covered in grass.
Ji Zhi Qiu was still hesitating.
He now has enough savings, but he hasn't decided whether to buy a large apartment or a villa. At this moment, he made up his mind that he must have a small yard no matter what.
Ji Zhi Qiu had made plans and prepared to keep Lu Yu Nian as a mistress, but Lu Yu Nian's actions puzzled him greatly.
Why bring him here again? Is his home here?
"How could that be..." Ji Zhi Qiu laughed at herself after the thought popped into her head.
The car stopped, and the driver respectfully asked him to wait on the side. He didn't notice anything amiss in the driver's attitude, assuming it was just part of the driver's professional training.
Ji Zhi Qiu guessed that Lu Yu Nian would come to find him, and was already imagining what clothes Lu Yu Nian would be wearing.
He must be the butler here, he would wear a tuxedo. Ji Zhi Qiu thought of the curve of Lu Yu Nian's pectoral muscles when the shirt was tightened around his chest, his Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he subconsciously touched his nose.
Fortunately, he had some self-respect and didn't get a nosebleed.
Just as Ji Zhi Qiu's heart was turning yellow and he couldn't stop thinking, his phone rang, suddenly interrupting his thoughts.
It was an unfamiliar phone number. Ji Zhi Qiu was cautious by nature and would usually refuse to answer, but this time she had a strange premonition and hesitated for a long time before answering.
"Excuse me, are you Teacher Ji?"
Those who would address him that way are limited to a few specific groups. Ji Zhi Qiu didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "May I ask who you are?"
The other person was very polite, even obsequious. "I am the head of the Qingning Live Streaming Platform. I have some things I would like to discuss with Teacher Ji today. I wonder if Teacher Ji has the time?"
Ji Zhi Qiu still remembers the arrogant attitude of the person in charge he was dealing with, which is in stark contrast to this. They had stopped talking to each other a long time ago, but there was still a contract binding them. Ji Zhi Qiu wanted to resolve this matter as peacefully as possible.
"I have time now, what do you need me for?"
As soon as Ji Zhi Qiu finished speaking, the other party's attitude immediately warmed up. "After learning about this matter, I immediately conducted a thorough investigation. It turns out that there is a problem with the platform's operation and management system. The person in charge who liaises with the streamers has too much power, which is why I had never heard of this matter before."
"I'm not saying this to shirk responsibility. I've already thought it through again and considered a solution repeatedly. I just don't know if Professor Ji can accept it."
"you say."
“This matter was caused by the executive’s favoritism. The streamer who had a conflict with you before had a nepotistic relationship with this executive and approached him privately. The executive put pressure on you, which led to the unfair treatment you received. I am willing to dismiss the person in charge and issue a public apology, and I am also willing to provide some material and emotional compensation.”
Ji Zhi Qiu nodded. "Just handle it according to your company's rules and regulations."
"You're so understanding." The boss on the other end first flattered him, then changed the subject, "We're still under contract, and this unpleasant thing has happened. If you don't want to continue broadcasting here, we can accept that, and we can terminate the contract by mutual agreement. But if you want to stay, I will definitely give you the fairest treatment!"
The live streaming platform didn't matter to Ji Zhi Qiu, but he couldn't bear to part with his ID "Evil Orange Head" or his family.
This was no small matter, and the call came too suddenly. Ji Zhi Qiu's mind was in a mess, and he could only say, "Okay, I'll think about it when I get back."
The other person wasn't discouraged. "That's wonderful. Thank you, Professor Ji, for giving us another chance."
Ji Zhi Qiu smiled. He didn't want to accept the compliments, but the other person's attitude did make him feel good.
"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer." After exchanging pleasantries, Ji Zhi Qiu was about to hang up when she sensed a hesitation in the other person's tone: "Is there anything else?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the phone. When the caller finally spoke, his tone became somewhat ambiguous. "Ms. Ji, could you please put in a good word with President Lu for me?"
Ji Zhi Qiu's mind went blank, and she could only unconsciously repeat, "President Lu?"
The person on the other end didn't notice Ji Zhi Qiu's surprise and continued, "I had the opportunity to meet President Lu once a few years ago. President Lu is truly a young man of great talent, but he has been unusually low-key these past few years. I haven't had the chance to see President Lu again for a long time. After seeing the clips from the variety show, I feel even more that you two are a match made in heaven..."
He could no longer hear the sounds after that, and all the descriptions of Lu Yu Nian were unfamiliar to him. Ji Zhi Qiu held back for a long time before he could ask if the other party had mistaken him for someone else.
He didn't know what he had said, and hung up the phone in a daze, his mind still filled with what he had just said.
Lu Yu Nian was very secretive about his past, so he took it upon himself to find an excuse for Lu Yu Nian, claiming that it was because of his poor family background, and even vowed to keep a mistress in a golden house.
But now that I think about it, Lu Yu Nian isn't the butler here, but rather... the master of this area.
Ji Zhi Qiu stood there, stunned, and subconsciously looked around at his surroundings. Suddenly, he heard someone calling him from behind.
Ji Zhi Qiu turned her head and saw Lu Yu Nian standing on the other side of the road, his eyes as deep as the sea as ever, yet inexplicably worried.
"Qiuqiu, I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Ji Zhi Qiu made a pause gesture, his face serious. He slowly covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling, as if he were heartbroken.
No way, we can lie down again.
Is he really that lucky?!
