"Warm Light in the Palm" - Who Will Redeem the Entertainment Godmother (Part 11...)
Qiu Tianyi's mood instantly soured. She looked at Cheng Yanxi's agent with a half-smile and asked, "May I ask why you think I'm very suitable to be Cheng Yanxi's personal assistant?"
Seeing that she had agreed, the agent smiled instantly. He knew that few girls could resist the temptation to get close to Cheng Yanxi. He smiled and said, "You may not believe it, but Yanxi personally chose you. I believe the two of you can work out very well together."
Hearing this, Qiu Tianyi slowly sat up straight and smiled: "What makes him so confident that he can transfer me to a different position, that he thinks he's so popular that he can do whatever he wants just by mentioning his name?"
broker:……
This time, even her manager could hear the hostility in her tone.
This is quite serious. After all, Cheng Yanxi is a popular celebrity, and any slight disturbance from him can cause a huge uproar.
The agent quickly said, "Miss Qiu, please don't misunderstand. Yan Xi made this decision out of his appreciation for you, not out of any disrespect."
"Is he illiterate? Can't he see what position I applied for?"
"It was a mistake on our part, but job adjustments are normal. Our company has many positions and hires many people, so adjustments are often necessary."
“I do not accept that. I checked the box when I applied for the position and did not accept the transfer. Before I came here, I always thought that Huo’s was a company with a deep foundation. Please show some professionalism.”
broker:……
Young people these days are getting more and more arrogant. Influenced by some online comments, they actually think they can reform the workplace.
The agent was unhappy, but being a seasoned veteran, he naturally wouldn't show it on his face. He smiled and said, "Alright, we understand Miss Qiu's feelings. Please go back and wait for our news."
Without a word, Qiu Yi turned and left.
After she left, the agent rolled her eyes, composed herself, and called Cheng Yanxi: "Brother Yan, I'm afraid it won't work. The newcomer doesn't agree."
Cheng Yanxi immediately asked, "Why?"
This time, without needing to embellish, Cheng Yanxi knew why, as his agent would reveal the contents of the conversation.
Cheng Yanxi hadn't expected such a misunderstanding, and immediately dropped everything to chase after her, calling out, "Tianyi! Tianyi!"
After talking with the agent, Qiu Tianyi left. They couldn't agree on anything, and although she had come to apply for the job with a specific purpose in mind, it was impossible for her to put up with a celebrity she disliked.
The plan needs to be considered carefully; it's better not to involve the Huo family at all.
On a whim, she turned to leave, but suddenly heard someone call her name from behind, and it sounded quite friendly. She couldn't help but turn around and ask, "What?"
I turned around and unexpectedly found someone very familiar—yes, someone I recognized from TV.
Qiu Tianyi immediately frowned and asked coldly, "What is it?"
Seeing her expression, Cheng Yanxi knew that she had misunderstood him because of what had just happened, so he immediately explained, "Tianyi, it's me! Don't you remember me?"
Qiu Tianyi was taken aback by his words and paused, asking, "Who are you?"
Cheng Yanxi immediately said, "I am Cheng Jun!"
Qiu Yi paused for a moment: "Cheng Jun?"
He said that Qiu Yi didn't get it either. She slowly searched her memories for a long time and suddenly found a name from the deepest part of her memory.
Qiu Yi mechanically turned her head and slowly looked at him: "Is this the Cheng Jun I'm thinking of?"
Cheng Yanxi was surprised that Tianyi would still remember him after so long, and nodded immediately, extremely happy.
Qiu Tianyi: ...
She suddenly wanted some peace and quiet...
...
What do you do if the celebrity you've hated for so long turns out to be your elementary school classmate?
Qiu Yi sat quietly in the restaurant, as still as a chicken.
When old classmates reunite after a long separation, they naturally have to get together. The restaurants near Huo's are frequented by celebrities and their privacy is well protected. Cheng Yanxi is very eager to treat Qiu Tianyi to a meal.
No one knows how complicated Qiu Yi's feelings are right now, but since no one knows, she will pretend that no one knows.
She politely declined, saying, "Let's split the bill; I'm used to splitting the bill."
Cheng Yanxi is a very considerate person. When Qiu Tianyi asked for help, he didn't insist. He was worried that Qiu Tianyi was not financially well-off, so he even let Qiu Tianyi choose a restaurant.
Qiu Yi considered that since he was a celebrity, he might have needs related to body management, so she found a Cantonese restaurant with light flavors.
Upon arriving at their destination, the two ordered some dishes and began catching up.
Cheng Yanxi spoke first: "How have you been these past years?"
Qiu Yi really wanted to say yes, but her "yes" probably couldn't compare to her old classmate who had become a top star, so she said businesslike, "It's alright."
Cheng Yanxi could sense her distance, but he understood.
He remarked with emotion, "Time flies so fast. Everyone has grown up and is different from before."
Qiu Yi nodded in agreement, "That's completely different."
When the food was served, the two ate and chatted, reminiscing about the past, and were both very happy.
After a satisfying meal, Cheng Yanxi looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Tianyi, can you be my assistant? Don't misunderstand, I only want you because I recognized you!"
Qiu Yi remained silent.
After many years, she reunited with her old classmate. She was struggling with a job interview, while her old classmate had become a very influential senior executive at the company she was interviewing with. It was hard to describe the feeling.
However, Qiu Yi was not someone who liked to give up her interests for emotions, so she immediately said, "Thank you, Cheng, but I really came here to apply for the job of an agent. Could you put in a good word for me with the Huo family?"
Cheng Yanxi: ...
He longed to see Tianyi every day, but his gentle nature made it difficult for him to refuse Tianyi's requests.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you with whatever Tianyi wants to do. But can we exchange contact information and meet up more often?"
How could Qiu Yi disagree?
She did dislike Cheng Yanxi before, but if Cheng Yanxi is her old classmate and she has a relationship with him, then of course they should be treated differently!
He pulled out his phone at lightning speed and completed the exchange, appearing even more proactive than the applicant, Cheng Yanxi, leaving Cheng Yanxi somewhat at a loss.
Tianyi is still as cheerful as ever...
After exchanging contact information, it was time to say goodbye.
Cheng Yanxi wanted to take Qiu Tianyi home, but Qiu Tianyi refused, so he could only say regretfully:
"Tianyi left so suddenly back then, and all of us friends miss you very much. Can we get together sometime?"
Actually, Qiu Yi had almost forgotten all her elementary school classmates over the years, but since she had already run into them, she might as well say, "Okay, you can contact them."
Cheng Yanxi was overjoyed; what he missed most was his elementary school days.
It would be wonderful if we could all meet again!
...
It's difficult to organize class reunions even in universities, let alone in elementary schools.
As children, everyone believes they have a bright future and doesn't feel any different from their classmates.
But once they enter the workforce, the gap widens instantly, and they realize that classmates who were once within reach have become people they can only look up to. Not everyone can accept this psychological gap.
But this time it was different; this time, it was Cheng Jun and Qiu Tianyi who made the connection.
Cheng Jun is a hopeless, fat bastard. I heard that Qiu Yi's mother died, and I don't know how she is now.
Those who had bullied Cheng Jun and been taught a lesson by Qiu Tianyi in the past were suddenly eager to try and see the two of them make a fool of themselves.
Qiu Yi was popular in class, especially her deskmate, who cried her heart out after she left.
Although many feelings fade as we grow up, childhood memories still hold special significance for us.
Qiu Yi's close friends were also excited to meet their childhood playmate again.
But as people grow up, they inevitably develop adult thoughts and desires.
No one wants to be looked down upon, so they each bring out their best and most valuable possessions to show their classmates how well they've done over the years.
One of them was named Wang Qiang. He had stopped studying long ago, drifted around aimlessly, and sponged off his parents at home.
But just to put on an act, they wear fake gold chains and fake rings, looking all rich and powerful as they attend the banquet.
The people who came were all incredibly extravagant, leaving Du Yanchen speechless, who naively thought it was just a class reunion. Wait a minute! Was she the only one who had just started working?!
Although many "adults" came, they were childhood friends after all, and they quickly put aside their differences and started chatting freely.
Everyone was chatting happily when Wang Qiang suddenly asked, "We're all here, so why aren't the main characters here? Where's Cheng Jun? Where's Qiu?"
Du Yanchen and Qiu Tianyi were at the same table back then and had a very good relationship. Wang Qiang had been harboring ill intentions ever since, and she still doesn't like him. She replied indifferently, "He's on his way. He would have said he wasn't coming earlier."
Wang Qiang also disliked her bookishness, and said with a grin, "Then you'll have to have a few drinks when you get here. I wonder where you've made your fortune, putting on such a big show."
"We're just old classmates getting together, why worry about so much?"
"I'm concerned about them. I heard Qiu's mother passed away, and I wonder how she's been coping all these years."
Du Yanchen: ...
This guy seemed concerned, but actually wanted to see her make a fool of herself, which infuriated Du Yanchen. Who invited this guy over?
Wang Qiang, however, was unusually thick-skinned. He started bragging as if no one else was around, spouting a bunch of obviously nonsense. Du Yanchen wanted to cover her ears and turned to talk to her classmates, ignoring him.
Wang Qiang was engrossed in chatting happily when suddenly, the air went still.
Wang Qiang thought he had impressed everyone with his words and was about to feel smug when he realized that everyone was looking at the outside of the private room, not at him.
Standing at the door was someone even Wang Qiang knew well. This person smiled slightly when he saw them and pushed the door open to come in.
"I'm sorry, something came up at the company and I'm late."
But no one cared that he was late. A girl in the private room immediately exclaimed, "Cheng Yanxi! You're Cheng Yanxi!"
Cheng Yanxi, accustomed to grand occasions, smiled gently and said, "It's me, I'm also Cheng Jun. I changed my stage name after entering the industry."
A single sentence can trigger a tsunami.
A reunion with classmates after many years revealed that the chubby boy who was once looked down upon had become a top celebrity. Who would believe it!
Wang Qiang immediately stood up: "Impossible! Did Cheng Jun hire you?"
Cheng Yanxi looked at Wang Qiang, the person who had bullied him the most, and smiled, "Why would I need to do that?"
Wang Qiang: ...
The fact that someone he used to bully was now living a life a million times better than his own caused Wang Qiang to instantly lose his mental balance and go insane.
But nobody cared about him anymore; everyone was stunned by the shocking news and rushed to talk to Cheng Yanxi.
Unable to bear the feeling of being ignored, Wang Qiang coughed heavily and asked, "Where's Qiu Yi? Why isn't she here yet? She's become a big star now?"
Judging from his tone, Cheng Yanxi realized that this person probably also had bad intentions towards Tianyi.
Just as I was pondering how to respond, the door to the private room opened again.
Qiu Yi, with her silver-white hair and avant-garde attire, entered the room, casually placing the key bearing the logo of a luxury car on the table and smiling at everyone.
"Sorry we're late. Parking is difficult here, and it took us a while to find a spot. We hope you didn't have to wait too long?"
