Everyone has a lot of secrets.
"Zhiyi, Zhiyi." The moment Lan Damei saw Chu Zhiyi, she felt like she had found her long-lost brother.
Qi Yue felt ashamed when she saw her brother who couldn't distinguish friend from foe.
"Is her name Lan Zhiyi? Is she your biological brother?"
Lan Damei smiled in a smug way.
"That's impossible. I only have one sister, my biological sister."
After saying that, he left his sister and ran towards Chu Zhiyi.
"As expected, men's words can be deceiving."
"Little girl, it's irresponsible to say that. You can't generalize."
Yi Shiwu walked to Qiyue and argued.
Qi Yue glanced at the person in front of her and rolled her eyes.
After Yi Shiwu finished decorating the house, he had not yet moved in. He said that the odor needed to be released, which would take a month. Qiyue was very puzzled at the time. No major changes were made, and all the materials used were environmentally friendly. A formaldehyde test had been done, so Qiyue just thought it was the designer's fault.
Later, Qi Yue found out that in order to avoid a project of "Mr. Yao" in the company, Yi Shiwu had to go to Xinghai to sign the contract in advance and enter the site directly after the New Year.
The business world is sometimes also a battlefield, after all, the smell of "money" is everywhere.
A design company? Valuable designers are the most advantageous weapons in this war, and outstanding designers have become the object of everyone's competition. Talent is good, but being too talented, even if you want to hide your edge, may not necessarily lead to your satisfaction.
Talent is the weapon that you rely on to make a living, but it can also be the driving force behind your failure or a disastrous defeat.
"You are such a heartless girl. Last time, I was always there for you at your wedding."
The memories from not long ago were opened up again, forcing Qi Yue to face what was in front of her.
"Fifteen, long time no see. I really missed you."
When Yi Shiwu heard Qi Yue's words that couldn't be more fake, he bent down and moved closer to Qi Yue.
"What a heartless little fellow."
"You are the boss and I am an employee. What conscience do I need? Only the exploitation of capitalists." Qi Yue smiled without saying anything. After all, she was angry but dared not speak out.
"Qiyue, let's go." Chu Zhiyi, who was getting impatient, urged the two people who were dawdling.
"Qiyue, dear Qiyue, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you since you came back from Yanjiang." Chu Zhiyi continued to kneel down and lick Qiyue.
"Zhiyi, didn't you see me?" Lan Damei said proudly.
Chu Zhiyi had come to see Qi Yue many times during this month, but Qi Yue always kept the door closed, saying that she needed to recuperate. In fact, she was angry that Chu Zhiyi had not told her about her relationship with Zou Muchu.
"Can't you please have some good judgment?" Chu Zhiyi winked at Lan Damei.
"Qiyue, look, this is the food I brought you, and some books I found for you."
After hearing this, Qi Yue looked at the books Chu Zhiyi had placed on the table to show off. This touched Qi Yue's heart. Qi Yue now loves reading, as if to make up for the regret of not studying seriously when she was in school.
"Okay, Zhiyi, then I will forgive you and show you are not guilty."
"Thank you for your grace."
Chu Zhiyi is Lan Qiyue's friend, and they have been friends since the time of Mu Jin. Qi Yue has long recognized this friend.
Chu Zhiyi also knew that Qi Yue was just pretending to be so, so he was not very sad. He just thought of it as a way to make Qi Yue laugh. After all, the days of seclusion for more than a month were very boring.
"By the way, why don't you and your brother have the same surname?" Qi Yue asked curiously.
There was only one older brother named Yi Shiwu at the table. He was holding a cup of cold water and poured water to one person, then to another. Everyone took the cup naturally without any awkwardness, as if it was just an ordinary gathering and everyone was old friends who had known each other for a long time.
"My father's last name is Zou and my mother's is Mu. My father loves my mother very much, so when my brother was born, he named him Zou Muchu, which means 'Dad loves Mom'. When I was conceived, my family wanted a daughter, so they would make do with a good name, but they didn't expect it to be me."
"Well, it's true. It's quite unexpected." Yi Shiwu tried to make himself feel present.
"Hey, stop making noise." Qi Yue touched Yi Shiwu's wrist.
Qi Yue didn't notice that Yi Shiwu's mouth was almost stretched to the back of his ears.
"I am a gift from God. My father wanted me to have the same surname as my mother to represent his love for her. When my mother found out, she named me 'Zhi Yi', meaning that she knows my father's love for her."
"Zhiyi, you're a bit crazy, but I really admire your uncle and aunt. When I name my child in the future, I'll also want to include deep affection and kindness."
"You should find a girlfriend first." Qi Yue ruthlessly exposed Damei's plan.
Not willing to be outdone, Da Mei fought back forcefully.
"Sister, you're still talking about me. My dad asked me if your sister had found a partner. I helped you out."
Qi Yue, whose sore spot was touched, forced a smile.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Qiyue, you two sisters have such a good relationship." Chu Zhiyi said interjectively.
"I think you two brothers have a good relationship."
"Damei and I are good brothers." Chu Zhiyi said proudly.
"Well, a great guy leads a rookie." Yi Shiwu said suddenly, quite forcefully.
"Brother Shi, what are you talking about? I'm not a foodie."
"Don't you know what you're doing with that game?"
"You're still talking about me and you, weren't you also chased by Party A's father and had to hide away?"
After saying this, Chu Zhiyi felt regretful. He was really bringing up something that was not relevant to the topic.
After realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly made amends.
"Oh, um, Damei, didn't you say you designed a new game? When it's released, you have to give me one for free, right?"
"ah?"
Lan Damei was caught off guard by the sudden call.
"Oh, no problem."
Qi Yue was confused. After all, she hadn't been to work for a long time. She didn't know whether the studio still remembered her. So she looked at Yi Shiwu.
"The work matter has been resolved, don't worry."
Yi Shiwu has such magical power that every time he says "don't worry", Qi Yue can put her mind at ease.
The starry sky today is a little different from the last time I came here. Last time, I was just on a business trip and stopped by to have a meal. My brother and I still had a lot of things to resolve, and our lives were full of confusion.
Today is a new July, a new beauty, and a life with a bright future. Looking at the laughter, anger, and warmth in front of me, July seems to have returned to the days when the family was together. At that time, we were also like this, so "full of love".

"Boss Zou, this Boss Yao is really difficult to deal with. He's got his sights set on the public welfare project we're going to connect with the government in Xinghai, so he's not giving up."
"Yes, the intention is obvious, but if we don't cooperate with Mr. Yao, we will never be able to take on this public welfare project on our own."
"Then can we bypass Mr. Yao and contact the government ourselves? If that doesn't work, can we find other suppliers of building materials? I don't believe that spending money won't get us the job done?"
"Hey, you're right. This time, you can't get anything done even if you spend money."
"Is President Yao really so amazing in Xinghai?"
"Mr. Yao started out as a construction worker. He was already roaming around various construction sites when Xinghai wasn't as developed. It's safe to say there's no piece of land in Xinghai that Mr. Yao doesn't know about. Mr. Yao may be profit-driven, but he's never made a mistake with the materials on government projects. But who would dare to make decisions on behalf of the government and change material suppliers for this rural construction project?"
"Then what should we do? Will you let Mr. Shi be responsible for the design of Mr. Yao's KTV?"
"You don't know his personality yet. He's incredibly stubborn. He insists on doing Mr. Wan's order first, out of integrity. After all, this is a deal we've been negotiating for nearly a year. In his eyes, everything has to be first come, first served."
"But President Yao specifically asked President Shi to come?"
"Need I tell you, I just have a headache?"
Secretary Qiao looked at his boss who had a worried look on his face and lost interest.
"Boss Zou, how about we do both at the same time?"
Looking at the disappointing secretary in front of him, Zou Muchu was furious. This was purely causing trouble for him.
"They're all tens of millions worth of projects, and you're talking about working on them together? Are you going to tire out the designer alone? Or his team, the people in our studio?"
"Boss Zou, I've heard that Boss Yao is a man of ruthless business acumen. He's already visited Mr. Shi three times, but he hasn't even met with Boss Shi once."
One was when Qi Yue was sick and hospitalized, one was when Qi Yue went to Yanjiang, and the other was just this past month. It is obvious that the first two were coincidences, and the last time was deliberate. Yi Shiwu's meaning is already very clear.
"If we handle this matter well, our future work and contacts will go smoothly. If something goes wrong, we will definitely have a hard time in the next year."
Late at night in the office, two grown men were discussing a project contract but could not come to any conclusion.
Big companies have their own worries. This is why Yi Shiwu did not set up a company in the beginning, but instead set up a studio. However, he did not expect that what was coming would always come.
Zero Studio is not large in scale and only handles mid- to high-end projects. Some, in order to keep improving, may even only take on one large project a year, but they will also take on a charity project every year to give back to society and practice the ideas they had at the beginning of their business.
Don’t forget the past, don’t fear the passing of time, walk together all the way, and you are in the future.
Children who grow up in love also want to pass on this love. Food and clothing are basic needs, but life is a pursuit.
Inside the Starry Sky Restaurant and Bar, a table by the window was filled with laughter and joy. The waiter at the Starry Sky restaurant discovered that his boss had this side of him. The boss of the Starry Sky, looking at the person in front of him, had inexpressible thoughts and endless tenderness in his eyes.
"Boss, would you like to order anything else?"
After hearing the boss's name, Qiyue and Damei looked at the waiter at the same time. The bewildered waiter looked at his boss, and then his two little heads looked at Yi Shiwu.
I have to say, everyone has a lot of secrets.
