Chapter 70 Mr. He's Invitation
Xue Yu told Chu Yunshu the news that Ji Heng was hospitalized.
The burns on Xue Yu's hands were almost healed, but Zhang Shide insisted that he stay in the hospital for a few more days to make sure that there was no problem at all.
He was bored and met Wu Xingyu while wandering around the hospital.
"The top floor of Jinxin is reserved for the Ji family. I can't go up there, and I don't know what's going on. But I heard that Ji Heng didn't go to the F&U event today, which he was supposed to attend. I think it's a bit serious."
Ever since Chu Yunshu and Hao Yifeng went to the hospital to visit Xue Yu, they created a three-person group. They didn't talk much in it normally, except when Xue Yu was bored in the hospital, they would send him a message.
After seeing the message, Chu Yunshu hesitated for a moment and sent a message to Ji Heng, asking him how he was doing.
But no response was received.
He had been feeling very confused these past few days, as he kept dreaming about killing Qi Xiubai in Qihua Palace over and over again. Each dream became clearer and more heartbreaking than the last.
After waking up, Qi Xiubai's face became more and more blurred in his memory, so blurred that he almost couldn't remember it.
Instead, there was Ji Heng's beautiful and solemn face.
He put the jade pendant back on his neck, put his phone aside, and started searching for historical information online again.
There is no record of the Nanyu Kingdom in this world, yet the Nanyu Kingdom seems to exist everywhere.
Jade pendants, musical instruments, and even the name of Go master Shi Anzi have all appeared, and this is no coincidence.
Chu Yunshu decided that next time they met, he would ask Ji Heng where the jade pendant came from. Judging from Ji Heng’s reaction, this jade pendant also has a special meaning to him. He doesn’t understand why Ji Heng gave it to him.
His cell phone rang and he quickly picked it up, but it was not a reply from Ji Heng, but a message from Zhou Yan.
He passed the audition for "The Imperial Cause" and Zhou Yan asked him to join the crew next week to participate in the script reading.
A document was then sent out with the specific time, location, contact person and contact information for the script reading.
Even the precautions are included, explained clearly and in detail.
So Zhou Yan didn't say anything extra, not even a word of caution.
Chu Yunshu has been immersed in finding the jade pendant and discovering clues between this world and the Kingdom of Nanyu these days, and has ignored people like Zhou Yan, Lin Yang and Helian Jie.
Now that he thought about it, he was sent to Ji Heng's room by Fu Lin that night, and there was no one in Helian Jie's lounge. But afterwards, neither Lin Yang nor Helian Jie looked for him again.
It was as if he had not met them that night.
Yaoshi Entertainment did not make any additional arrangements for him, and Zhou Yan allowed him to join the crew and participate in the filming of "The Imperial Project" so smoothly without any hindrance.
It looks weird no matter how you look at it.
There were too many things that he couldn't figure out, so Chu Yunshu simply stopped thinking about them and just did the task at hand - to keep his appointment with Mr. He.
This was not the first time that Mr. He had invited Chu Yunshu. Chu Yunshu was unable to go the previous two times due to something else, so it was difficult to refuse this time.
Of course, he didn't want to refuse. He felt particularly peaceful when he got together with a few old men to play the piano, drink tea, and listen to them talk about their life insights over the long years.
And now, he needs this kind of peace.
The place where Mr. He lives is also in a classical garden-style architectural style with a quiet environment.
He originally thought that just like when he was in Jingyuan, there were only three old men, Leng, Cheng and He, but when he arrived he found that there were several other people he didn't recognize, all of whom were older old men.
Chu Yunshu stood among them, looking extremely out of place.
But when they started playing the piano and playing chess, Chu Yunshu sitting among them was very harmonious.
It is rare to see a young man who is able to remain calm and composed. No matter how people around him praise him, he is neither arrogant nor impatient, nor humble nor overbearing. He knows when to advance and retreat, and is polite in his words and actions.
These people all wish Chu Yunshu was their grandson.
When Helian Jie brought Qi Zhao and his uncle Qi Wensi over, what he saw was Chu Yunshu being surrounded by these grandfathers, whom he usually had to be obedient and respectful to receive, and they were talking and laughing.
Even the old man in his family, who always had a stern face and seemed dissatisfied with his descendants, had a smile on his face when talking to Chu Yunshu.
Helian Jie even saw the doting and flattery of a younger generation in that smile, and he thought he must be dazzled.
How come Chu Yunshu knows his old man?
He gets along so well with this group of old men who are always serious and no one dares to provoke them or even wants to stay away from them.
If Helian Jie had known that this group of old men were at his grandfather's place, he would never have come here to be scolded - he liked to play, and his reputation had long spread. These old men treated him as their own grandson and always had to "educate" him when they saw him.
He had been afraid of meeting them since very early on. Even when they were inevitably seen at certain gatherings, he would just say hello and quickly leave.
He had no choice but to come here today. Qi Zhao's uncle encountered problems in his business and had to meet Mr. Cheng. Although the Qi family had some assets, they were still not qualified to meet Mr. Cheng.
In the end, Qi Zhao could only come to Helian Jie for help.
The Qi family seems to be doing well now, all thanks to Qi Zhao's uncle Qi Wensi. Once Qi Wensi's company declares bankruptcy, the Qi family will inevitably fall.
Qi Zhao’s current status in the entertainment industry is far from enough to stand beside Helian Jie. If Qi Wensi’s company goes bankrupt again, he will have even less capital to spend.
So no matter from which perspective, he must help Qi Wensi keep the company.
In addition, Qi Wensi's life was indeed not easy. He struggled all his life, but five years ago, his only son Qi Xu fell into the water and almost drowned. Although he was rescued in the end, he became stupid.
Not to mention inheriting the company in the future, even normal life will be affected.
Qi Xu's stupidity also made some smart younger generations of the Qi family have other ideas. They started to make small moves in Qi Wensi's company, making the already difficult company even worse, and it was on the verge of collapse.
Now the only chance to revitalize the company lies in the hands of the Cheng family, but the head of the Cheng family does not take their small business seriously at all. Qi Wensi has been guarding for more than two months, but has not even seen the shadow of the head of the Cheng family.
Qi Zhao heard by accident from Helian Jie that Grandpa He and his family have a gathering every month. This time it happens to be held at their house, and Grandpa Cheng will also be there. That's why he asked Helian Jie for help and asked his uncle to meet Grandpa Cheng.
Whether it succeeds or not is another matter, but at least there is a chance for them to meet and try for it.
Qi Zhao was also very nervous when meeting this group of old men. Regardless of whether Mr. He would accept his relationship with him or not, the disparity in their status alone made him inexplicably frightened.
If it weren't for his relationship with Helian Jie, he probably wouldn't have met so many heroes in his life.
So when he saw Chu Yunshu so calm and composed, chatting and laughing with these people, he was even more shocked than Helian Jie.
