Chapter 58 Brother-in-law [VIP]
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?" Chen Siqi looked at himself and his surroundings with a puzzled expression.
He had just picked up his takeout, closed the door, and turned around when he saw Fu Qingyan staring blankly in his direction, which puzzled him a bit.
Fu Qingyan snapped out of her daze: "It's nothing."
"Can't we have a secret relationship?! I don't want to break up, waaaaaah..."
At this moment, the man, who was lying disheveled on the table, let out another pig-like wail. His behavior was so sudden that if the two of them didn't know his character, they would almost suspect that he did it on purpose.
"Come on, you're not a first love who got dumped. You've had more than ten girlfriends, so why are you pretending to be an innocent young man?"
Chen Siqi kicked the obstacle on the ground impatiently, then squatted down to unpack the takeout.
"Waaah, Yueyue is different..." Jiang Ling said pitifully, her eyes swollen.
Ignoring his flushed and swollen face from drinking, Jiang Ling actually has good features, but the red highlights on his black hair make him look somewhat dashing.
Fu Qingyan placed the wine glass at the other end of the coffee table, out of Jiangling's reach, and then raised his hand to pinch his brow.
"I came all the way back from a business trip just to hear you cry and complain about being heartbroken again?"
Jiang Ling sobbed, "I...uh, I didn't want to either, waah."
The man sighed, "What's the reason this time?"
Recalling the painful memories, Jiang Ling almost burst into tears, barely managing to hold them back.
He didn't want to provoke Fu Qingyan.
Hmph, don't be fooled by his elegant and refined appearance; he's actually a tyrannical dictator.
So when Fu Qingyan isn't angry and speaks to him politely, he'd better respond politely as well.
“Yueyue said, said the drama where she played the third female lead was a hit,” she sobbed, “She’s about to enter the peak of her career, and she wants to break up with me early, sob sob.”
Good heavens, the first thing he did after getting ashore was to kill the one he loved!
Pushing the disassembled bowl of porridge in front of Jiang Ling, Chen Siqi asked, "Didn't you say you were the second young master of Starlight Entertainment?"
Jiang Ling: "Yueyue, Yueyue knows."
Although Jiang Ling doesn't do his job properly, he still holds a nominal position in his own entertainment company, so his words still carry some weight.
This woman has guts to break up so decisively!
Chen Siqi secretly admired the person who made his brother cry like a fool.
Clearing her throat to cover up her mockery, she said, "Alright, have some porridge before you cry. You dare to drink ice wine on an empty stomach? You're treating your stomach like an enemy."
Jiangling was indeed a bit hungry after all that fuss, so he obediently picked up his spoon.
Chen Siqi watched him cry as he drank his porridge, and then earnestly advised him: "If you like dating, then don't look for a girlfriend who is career-oriented."
“Learn from our CEO Fu. He’s a workaholic himself, and his girlfriend is also a workaholic. They often don’t see each other for ten days or half a month at a time, but their relationship is still so stable.”
“What do you know? A woman with ambition is attractive,” Jiang Ling retorted.
Then he muttered under his breath, "Besides, is Lao Fu and Xi Qingning dating? It's clearly a loveless business marriage."
"Old Fu, Jiang Ling just said that you and your girlfriend have no feelings for each other and that your relationship is just a business arrangement. Aren't you going to refute that?"
Chen Siqi was always eager to watch the drama unfold.
“Chen Qilin!” Jiang Ling exclaimed, his eyes wide.
Fu Qingyan withdrew her gaze from the wine glass and calmly smiled, "He's in a bad mood because he just broke up with his girlfriend, I understand."
Chen Siqi laughed loudly: "Did you hear that? Our CEO Fu said you're just being a sour grapes."
Jiang Ling rolled her eyes at him, her swollen goldfish eyes wide.
He simply couldn't believe that someone who had lived for over twenty years and was completely averse to romance would actually date someone like Fu Qingyan, who had some kind of health problem.
The news broke so suddenly last year; before that, there was absolutely no indication that Lao Fu and Xi Qingning were dating.
The number of times the two of them went on dates probably didn't even equal the number of times Lao Fu comforted him after his breakup.
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
This is clearly fate!
After leaving the bar, the system clutched its heart.
[When I was looking for him, he wasn't there; when I stopped looking, he reappeared unexpectedly. What else could this be but fate!]
[I searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, then suddenly turning around, I found him where the lights were dim.]
[The flowers you carefully plant may not bloom, while the willows you casually plant may thrive.]
The system recited two lines of poetry in a refined manner to express its feelings, but seeing that the host remained silent, it finally asked: [Why didn't the host go and talk to Fu Qingyan to get to know him before leaving?]
Qingran replied: [It's not the right time yet.]
The system seemed to understand, but not quite.
In the first two worlds, Qingran quickly got together with the male protagonist either because of the plot or because of his identity and background, so the system didn't quite understand his current strategy of retreating to advance.
But its advantage is that it doesn't talk nonsense if it doesn't understand. When Qingran said something, it really put the matter out of its mind and instead became concerned about something else.
[Does the host want to become an actor?]
Qingran knew the answer to this question very well.
[I'm not going.]
When an actor has to fully immerse themselves in playing another person's life, completely concealing their own personality, it's not suitable for someone who's used to being willful and capricious.
The system commented somewhat regretfully: [Being a celebrity is very lucrative.]
Qingran: [But it's not free enough.]
During working hours, filming can easily take two or three months; in private time as well, there are paparazzi and stalkers taking photos at any time.
Well, the main reason is that the working hours are not flexible enough, but the latter is not a concern for a snake demon.
System: [Then the host will have to work hard every day, leaving early and returning late, to earn money.]
It's not that it has a bias against the celebrity profession, but rather that it feels sorry for the host who is struggling to make money.
Working 16 hours a day is only possible if the host is non-human, otherwise the body would have been worn out long ago.
Thinking about this made it extremely anxious.
Why hasn't Fu Qingyan sent money to the host's door yet? If you don't know how to raise a wife, let those two fragments teach you!
After finishing work that evening, Qingran called to decline her agent's invitation.
The other person was clearly still awake; their voice was wide awake when they answered the phone. They didn't try to stop Qingran after she refused, and told him to contact her again when he changed his mind.
The agent's job is to manage models. Asking this question was just to help her friend, who works as an agent in a film and television company, find some promising talents. If the friend agrees, great; if not, she has nothing to lose.
[Zero Zero, the agents don't need to compete for orders anymore; just let them schedule orders normally.]
Okay~
The system removed the phone numbers of several brokers from the list of key contacts, leaving only the numbers originating from the headquarters of Yongming Group.
Orders were processed normally the next day.
As a result, one of the agents, who usually doesn't order takeout for three to five days, actually squeezed into Qingran's order today.
Neither Qingran nor the system paid any extra attention; she delivered the order with a calm mind.
"...They sent them back again? Screw him! He's picked and chosen every model in the company. Ask him what kind he actually wants!"
From behind the still-open door of an apartment on a high floor of the building, came the angry voice of a woman.
"What? It needs to have the captivating allure of a fairy, the seductive allure of a poppy, and the serene indifference of moonlight?"
"Then why is he coming to our company to pick models? Why doesn't he go to the foot of the Five Fingers Mountain and find Sun Wukong? He can transform into any kind of model he wants!"
Qingran knocked on the door: "Hello, takeout."
"I'm not going to say anything more. My takeout has arrived. I was so angry with him today that I didn't even eat," footsteps approached. "You should talk to them again. If that doesn't work, tell them to find someone else."
After hanging up the phone, the woman opened the half-closed door and reached out her hand.
Qingran handed over the takeout. The woman took the food and prepared to close the door, her gaze inadvertently sweeping upwards—
"etc!"
Outside the door, a young man turned halfway around upon hearing the sound.
Beneath the blue bunny hat, her delicate eyebrows were like distant mountains, her dark eyes were as clear and cold as the bright moon, she had a straight nose, red lips, a small face, a perfect head-to-shoulder ratio, a textbook-perfect slender waist and long legs. Except for being a little short, she perfectly met the client's bizarre requirements!
"Perhaps you'd be interested in learning about the profession of print model?" Wei Lin asked eagerly.
This wasn't the first time Qingran had delivered takeout to Wei Lin, but this was the first time the two had officially met; previously, Wei Lin's assistant had always picked up the food.
[Host, just when you think you've reached a dead end, a new path opens up!] the system said excitedly.
They had all given up on the flat mold approach, but then things took a turn for the better.
Qingran was also somewhat surprised, and her face showed a look of astonishment and confusion.
"Here's the thing, I have an order in hand right now..."
Wei Lin spoke quickly, briefly explaining the whole story, and concluded: "Your appearance and temperament perfectly match their hiring requirements. They're offering a high price. Would you like to consider it?"
Qingran glanced at her phone apologetically: "Sorry, I still have to deliver food."
"Okay, let's exchange contact information. Think it over carefully on your way. If you're interested, it would be best if you could get back to me before 8 a.m. tomorrow," Wei Lin said as a compromise.
Even though Qingran was about to leave, she stood at the door and raised her voice, trying to persuade her to exchange phone numbers. She couldn't refuse.
"Going for an interview will only take up half a day, but if you get the job, I guarantee you'll get at least a four-figure salary!"
Qingran now earns a four-figure daily wage.
However, the food delivery industry has a low lower limit and a low upper limit. Unless Qingran is willing to expose her superhuman strength, her daily income will not exceed two thousand.
Modeling is a job with both a high minimum standard and a high maximum standard.
Of course, if Qingran were a little taller, his potential would be even higher, but he felt it was unnecessary.
Getting back to the main point, Qingran had already made up his mind about whether to accept Wei Lin's invitation. Just as she said, it was only half a day, and he could afford to waste that time.
The reason he didn't agree immediately was because he still had orders from Yongming.
He'd rather play love games with humans than make money.
After leaving the apartment building, Qingran rode his electric scooter to pick up a takeout order from a milk tea shop, and then rode towards the Yongming Group building.
"Humans these days really love ordering takeout." The system chatted with him on the way.
The host instructed it to snatch all orders from Yongming headquarters, and only after this statistic was compiled did they realize that they were actually running to Yongming every day.
There are tons of people ordering takeout there, sometimes several or even a dozen people order together. On busy days, the host can make four or five trips there, and the receptionists there have all memorized the host's face.
It's a pity Fu Qingyan wasn't at the company before, otherwise he might have met and gotten to know the host long ago.
"Because it's convenient," Qingran said.
He rode his electric scooter to the outside of Yongming Building, parked it on the side of the road, and then carried the takeout to the designated takeout pick-up point.
The Yongming Building is very large, and there are dedicated pick-up and drop-off points for takeout orders, which do not pass through the employee office area, let alone the CEO's office.
How could Qingran possibly run into Fu Qingyan under such circumstances?
It requires a cheat program and a bit of luck.
At this time, the system, including the external plugin, goes online.
[Host, Fu Qingyan is taking the elevator downstairs. If you speed up a little, you can meet Fu Qingyan in the lobby in 26 seconds!]
Qingran subtly curled his lips; it seemed he was in good luck.
[No, this time he just happened to run into me~]
