What Fang Zhiying said last time about the top-notch lunch boxes was not an exaggeration. Ziyi really doesn't care about the treatment. The salaries of the extras and the meals on the crew are all better than those of other crews after Ziyi invested in them.
"Did you get scolded and cry this afternoon?"
"Did he hit you?"
At dinner time, the two of them spoke almost at the same time, and then they laughed at the same time after asking the question.
"I wasn't scolded and cried. It was my fault for not performing well. Director Fang said it was my fault. I just felt bad that I caused everyone to keep reshooting." Fortunately, Li Xinyu treated Qin Yuhuan to afternoon tea in her name, and Qin Yuhuan felt better. "How about you?"
Compared to himself, Qin Yuhuan was more worried about being beaten. Shu Baizhen was not a tall and strong man, but he dressed in a shabby manner and had a big tattoo on his arm. He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
"I didn't get beaten. He wouldn't hit me, and he couldn't beat me either." He paused, a look of nostalgia on his face. "I've known Shu Baizhen since he was eleven years old. He was only this tall then."
She gestured to the area just above her waist and abdomen. "He came to me to help his brother Shu Baiqi. To be honest, I don't want to help. I guess Shu Baizhu doesn't want me to help either. She keeps telling me not to answer calls from her family."
In fact, Ziyi not only didn't answer the call, but also blocked it. Among the two brothers Shu Baiqi and Shu Baizhen, Ziyi especially disliked Shu Baiqi.
"I saw a little bit of that news, and I also heard Shen Zhiming mention it in the group." Qin Yuhuan considered his words carefully, "Shu Baizhu should be feeling bad."
"I thought you would express your personal opinion, such as agreeing or disagreeing with my help." Ziyi found that Qin Yuhuan used his ability as a master of keeping things balanced on her. She maintained a neutral attitude and did not give any substantive opinions at all.
"It's a difficult opinion to express, Xiaozi. I can only say that no matter what decision you make, I understand you."
Qin Yuhuan put the lid back on the lunch box. "Even though Shu Baizhu and I don't have a close relationship, I can still understand her difficulties. You're not the kind of person who would want Shu Baizhu to fall into hell and get worse and worse if her pursuit fails."
This pattern still has some style.
"If Shu Baizhu is short of funds and asks me to borrow money, I will lend it to her and won't force her to pay it back. But I can't clean up after Shu Baiqi, and I don't want to do it. It's quite strange to say."
Ziyi thought of Shu Baizhu's invitation to meet her that afternoon, and stole a glance at Qin Yuhuan, who was sitting quietly beside her. When Qin Yuhuan's gaze fell on her because she had only said half of her words, she finally said what she wanted to say the most, "Shu Baizhu actually asked me out."
Qin Yuhuan: ...
From Ziyi's perspective, Qin Yuhuan remained calm. She was inexplicably a little discouraged. "I said I'd check the time when I got back, but why didn't you react at all?"
"Should I... have any reaction?" Qin Yuhuan was confused and said, "I thought you just needed me to be a quiet listener when it comes to you and Shu Baizhu."
And no matter what opinions she expressed, they were inappropriate.
Ziyi sighed slightly, "That's right, it seems I didn't think it through. But this afternoon, Shu Baizhen asked me if I would like his sister again if he became more successful. I was surprised for a moment."
If so, this moment had never happened in her previous life. Or perhaps, in her previous life, she had been too protective of the Shu family.
She sent Shu Baizhen abroad to gild his resume, but Shu Baizhen ended up spending money like water. This wasn't the point. The point was that some international student circles were very complicated, and the circle Shu Baizhen got into was too messy and dirty, with all kinds of money (typos). The worst thing was that she wasn't the one who discovered this, but Shu Baizhu came to her with a frosty face, and she only found out about it.
At that time, she had just taken over the Zhao Group and was in a mess. She never expected that Shu Baizhen would be so smooth in learning bad things. After all, her learning environment was in China, and she lacked some understanding and experience of studying abroad.
In the afternoon, Shu Baizhen mentioned the matter of buying a degree, but Ziyi didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. For every choice they thought of now, Ziyi had gone through blood and tears in her previous life.
Shu Baizhu asked her if she was tired. She was more than tired, she was simply risking her life. But in this life, the one who was most tired was not her, but Shu Baizhu.
Qin Yuhuan followed Ziyi's words and sighed, "They have a good relationship as siblings."
"It's useless to be emotional," Ziyi said as she moved closer to Qin Yuhuan and collected his finished lunch box with her own. "His words are like the vows made by lovers during their passionate love period. I don't deny that he was inspired by something at that moment and felt ambitious, but in the end, they are just empty words."
"He knows that he and his brother are the ones who benefited from the family's dividends, but he is unwilling to give even a little bit of this dividend to Shu Baizhu. To put it bluntly, the feelings expressed with words are nothing but empty talk."
What Ziyi didn't say was that when she was in school, she went to visit the Shu family and heard her parents say several times at the dinner table that when Shu Baizhu got a job and made money, they would buy Shu Baizhen a car and a house.
Shu Baizhen would never refute this, and he enjoyed all the resources allocated to him with peace of mind.
Sometimes Ziyi would get so angry that she would ask Shu's parents whether they would buy anything for Shu Baizhu. But when faced with this question, they would either fool her or tell her directly that Shu Baizhu didn't need it and that the family spent a lot of money to support her, and that they would give her a small dowry when they had enough money in the future.
In fact, they bought one house after another in Licheng and the provincial capital over there, and they never had enough.
"You're right, Ziyi." Qin Yuhuan had to admit this. "I never believed the saying 'where there's money, there's love' until something happened in my family. Then I believed it."
"Speaking of this." Ziyi took out a ten-yuan commemorative coin from her pocket and placed it in Qin Yuhuan's palm, "Here's the money."
Qin Yuhuan raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say last time that..." that's all?
"When I want to give, I always find a way?" Ziyi replied with a smile.
"Is this Xiaozi's love today?" Qin Yuhuan played with the Year of the Rabbit commemorative coin. The little rabbit looked lifelike and extremely cute.
She nodded, "Yes, today's love."
Qin Yuhuan thought Ziyi was responding to her joke with a joke, while Ziyi thought Qin Yuhuan was joking with her.
Even though it was a joke, the two of them found a little bit of sweetness in their own imaginations.
Little did they know——
They both told the truth.
