Chapter 058
After the concert, Zhou Qingyu washed up and did not go to bed immediately. Pu Baoyuan invited the best SPA beautician in Hancheng to give Zhou Qingyu and Yan Xi a massage.
The two of them lay on the bed, and the beautician put a layer of facial mask on their faces and massaged their smooth backs rhythmically.
The affairs of K Company are making a lot of noise, but Zhou Qingyu is too lazy to care. No matter how big the world is, her own comfort is the most important. Park Baoyuan will solve the scandal of K Company. If you want to buy hot searches, go to Wu Liao. Anyway, such malicious people's affairs should not appear in her world.
The beautician's massage technique was so comfortable that Zhou Qingyu was already drowsy.
Yan Xi was also feeling lazy, her eyelids were fighting each other. Compared with the massage performed by the professional technicians, she felt that the massage she had given Zhou Yanci was just a three-legged cat technique - a waste of effort and completely ineffective.
The cell phone suddenly rang. It was Zhou's father calling.
"My father?"
Zhou Qingyu was stunned for two seconds. Zhou's father was a very traditional father. He had never shown much concern for his children. In the past, he devoted himself to his career. Now that he was semi-retired, he cared more about the turtles in the pool at Zhou's house than his own children.
The number of times he took the initiative to call Zhou Qingyu was very few.
Zhou Qingyu didn't answer the phone. "He wouldn't be upset because I spent too much money today, right? I only spent tens of millions. Is it necessary for him to take the initiative to call me?"
Yan Xi pouted and said, "Let's answer the call and see what uncle has to say!"
Zhou Qingyu took off her mask and answered the phone.
It was a video call made by Zhou's father, and his face soon appeared on the phone.
He leaned over to look at the screen. "You haven't answered the phone for so long, I thought you were asleep!"
Zhou Qingyu's little mouth was as sweet as honey. "How can I do that? Even if I fall asleep, I still have to answer my father's call!"
A daughter is a father's sweet little confidant, so even though Zhou's father and Zhou Qingyu's mother had a business marriage, Zhou's father still favored Zhou Qingyu. Most of his care for his children was given to Zhou Qingyu. He gave her whatever she wanted when she was a child. On the other hand, Zhou Yanci, a boy and an older brother, just needed to be tempered, so he completely left Zhou Yanci to the nanny.
At this moment, Zhou Qingyu was worried that her father would scold her for wasting money, so she took the initiative and said, "Dad, I know why you called me. I just wanted to listen to the concert. I came to Country H, and it would be wrong not to listen to the concert. It didn't cost much, just a few tens of millions! Our company makes more than this amount in a day!"
Zhou's father said cheerfully, "I'm not calling to scold you, why are you so nervous?"
Zhou Qingyu felt relieved when she heard this.
She just thought that even if it was tens of millions, it wouldn't be necessary for her father to call her personally. The last time Zhou's father called her, it was because the project she was in charge of lost hundreds of millions!
Zhou Qingyu stretched her limbs. "If you're not scolding me, then why are you calling me? Didn't we meet the day before yesterday?"
It was only two days since she came to Country H to record a program.
Father Zhou narrowed his eyes and said, "You did a great job organizing this concert."
"Huh?" Zhou Qingyu was confused.
"Fang Yue said that you not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money."
"Oh!" Zhou Qingyu was even more surprised.
Yan Xi immediately explained, "For this concert, we hired a professional filming team and opened a separate live broadcast room on Xigua Video. We sold the exclusive broadcast rights for the concert for 30 million."
"Afterwards, the revenue from Xigua Video's advertising sponsorship and audience rewards, all added up, not only exceeded the cost of the concert, but also probably earned more than 10 million yuan."
The young lady was amazed, "You can make money from this!"
Father Zhou raised his eyebrows, "Why, these were not your instructions?"
Zhou Qingyu blinked and glanced at Yan Xi. Yan Xi was quick and pushed Zhou Qingyu in front of the phone screen.
Zhou Qingyu nodded to Zhou's father, "Yes, I am
Me! I asked Fang Yue and the others to do all this! I didn’t want to watch the concert, I just held it because I thought the concert could make money! "
"So, Dad, don't always think about handing the company over to Zhou Yanci. I can make 10 million in one night. I'm much more awesome than him!"
Father Zhou called out to Zhou Yanci, who was sitting on the sofa behind him, "Did you hear that? Your sister said she's better than you!"
Zhou's father leaned to the side, and Zhou Qingyu could see that he was in the study. The lights in the study were warm and bright, and Zhou Yanci was wearing navy blue pajamas, sitting on the sofa reading a book.
Hearing Zhou's father calling him, he lazily raised his head and glanced at the computer screen.
——Father Zhou didn’t use his cell phone, but made a video call using the laptop on the desk.
Zhou Yanci lowered his eyebrows, with a faint smile in his eyes.
"Yeah, I know she's very powerful."
Zhou Qingyu tugged at Yan Xi's sleeve excitedly, "Did I hear it right? Zhou Yanci actually praised me!"
Then she frowned, "But why do I feel like this grandson wasn't looking at me just now?"
"Speak properly!"
Zhou's father on the screen scolded Zhou Qingyu, "Yanci is your brother, how can you be so disrespectful?"
Zhou Qingyu said unhappily, "Why are you talking about me? Yan Xi also called him by his name!"
Yan Xi: ???
I am not! I didn’t! I always call him “Mr. Zhou” in front of others!
"Really?"
Father Zhou couldn't remember how Yan Xi called Zhou Yanci. He and Yan Xi didn't have many opportunities to meet. "That won't do. Little girl, don't you know the etiquette?"
"Yanxi, you and Qingyu are friends. Qingyu should call Yanci 'brother', and you should do the same. Do you understand?"
Zhou Yanci suddenly became interested and stopped reading the book in his hand. He walked to Zhou's father and looked at Yan Xi on the screen, "Call me 'brother'?"
Yan Xi blinked.
Isn't it Zhou Qingyu who needs to correct the address?
How come it's her turn?
But Zhou's father and Zhou Yanci were both looking at her, especially Zhou Yanci's eyes. His light-colored pupils looked like beautiful amber under the dim light, and Yan Xi's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Her face suddenly turned red, as red as an apple.
After a long while, Yan Xi lowered her head and whispered:
"elder brother."
"Um,"
Zhou Yanci smiled, his eyes affectionate and gentle.
——
As for Zhou Qingyu, even though Yan Xi "surrendered", Zhou Qingyu would not surrender and would never call Zhou Yanci "brother" even if she was beaten to death.
Even after hanging up the phone, Zhou Qingyu still raised her head, "Humph, he's just a few years older than me, and you still want me to be better than him? No way!"
"And you!" Zhou Qingyu pinched Yan Xi's face, "How can you succumb to Zhou Yanci's tyranny? You just call him whatever he tells you to?"
Yan Xi made a bitter face, "What can I do?"
Forget about Zhou's father being here, Zhou Yanci's peach blossom eyes, which look so gentle even when looking at a dog, are really hard to resist!
"Forget it," Zhou Qingyu let go of her hand, "It's just claiming to have the upper hand! Ha!"
Yan Xi also rubbed her face and felt her cheeks were still a little hot.
Really, isn’t it just “brother”?
Just now when she and Zhou Qingyu were excited at the concert, they called each other "brother" and "sister" many times. What's the big deal?
Zhou Qingyu complained again, and finally remembered the important matter.
"I haven't asked you about tonight's concert. Qiao Yan said you asked her to sign Han Shu. How do you know that Han Shu sings well?"
Yan Xi rubbed her face. Before she could say anything, the system in her brain had already lit up a red light——
[Warning, warning! Host, you cannot tell others about the plot of the novel. You have to think of another excuse.]
Yan Xi said innocently, "I just heard it once by chance and thought it was pretty good!"
"Oh," Zhou Qingyu said without a doubt, "What about the concerts?"
"That was what Fang Yue taught me when I was in the project department a few days ago. I wanted to make some money on the side," Yan Xi said, "but I didn't expect to make so much."
Yan Xi was telling the truth. She had expected to make some money from selling the exclusive broadcasting rights, but she only wanted to offset the cost of the concert. She had not expected to make so much money with advertising sponsorship and audience rewards.
Zhou Qingyu was thinking about something else. "It seems my dad still has good vision. Five years ago, he thought you were a good candidate and wanted you to join the group. Fortunately, I got there first!"
"Yes, yes!" Yan Xi smiled, "I am yours now."
Zhou Qingyu happily rubbed Yan Xi's face, "I think being a supervisor is unfair to you!"
Yan Xi couldn't speak clearly, and muttered: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Qingyu smiled, "You are so good at making money, I will let you manage Xingyao, and you can be the VP (Vice President)?"
Yan Xi: ???
Yan Xi’s eyes widened.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes!" Zhou Qingyu shrugged, "The president is my aunt, but she is just a figurehead and doesn't take care of things. Yu Xiao is in charge of most things."
"From now on, Xingyao will be managed by you. You help me make more money, and we will try to change Xingyao's fate of being in debt by the end of the year. This way, Zhou Yanci and his family won't laugh at me anymore!"
Yan Xi: "I... haven't been hired as a full-time employee yet, I'm still an intern!"
Do you think it is appropriate to let an intern be a VP?
Zhou Qingyu waved her hand, "It's okay! If I say yes, then yes!"
…
Zhou Qingyu spoke loud and clear, and within a few minutes, Yan Xi received a new appointment offer in her mailbox.
Yan Xi scratched her head.
Is this what it feels like to win by hugging a rich woman?
So cool~
——
Villa, kitchen.
The phone rang one after another, it was a message in the group. I looked at my phone and saw 99+ group messages.
[@儲墨, the Lin family's stock price has plummeted. It's unclear whether the company can survive. You don't still want to marry into the Lin family, do you? ]
[Actually, I think Yan Xi is not bad. I watched your show and Miss Zhou dotes on her. If you were to be with her, you might even be able to get help from the Zhou family!]
[Yan Xi must still like Chu Shao. She was so good to you in the past. If you weren't a real or fake daughter, she wouldn't have given up on you!]
[@儲墨, why don’t you give it a try? The girl is so pretty. It’s no loss if you fail! ]
Chu Mo looked at the screen of his mobile phone, tapping rhythmically on the bar with his fingers.
He looked up at the clock hanging in the kitchen. It was a few seconds before eleven.
"Five, four, three, two, one..."
As the silent countdown in my heart ended, the kitchen door opened and the girl walked into the kitchen holding a cup of milk.
When she saw Chu Mo, she was obviously stunned.
Chu Mo smiled and greeted, "What a coincidence."
Yan Xi felt that her good mood for the day was almost ruined the moment she saw Chu Mo.
She was too lazy to talk to Chu Mo and planned to heat the milk and go back to her room.
"Xixi," Chu Mo's voice sounded from behind Yan Xi, "You invited Lu Beiyu to such an interesting concert tonight, why didn't you invite me?"
Yan Xi stood in front of the microwave oven and said, "We are not familiar with each other."
Chu Mo approached Yan Xi. Yan Xi could feel that he was standing very close to her. Her voice came from above. "We are ex-married couple after all. How can we not be familiar with each other?"
Yan Xi turned around, took a step back, and kept a distance from Chu Mo.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled sarcastically, "Chu Mo, when you first knew that I was the daughter of the Lin family who was mistakenly adopted, didn't you come to cancel the engagement immediately? How come you didn't remember that we were engaged at the time, but you remembered it now? Are you planning to cancel the engagement because something happened to the Lin family?"
"That's different," Chu Mo said indifferently, "Even if nothing happened to the Lin family, I would still like you more. I have always regarded you as my future wife since I was a child!"
The Lin family had an early marriage with the Chu family. When Yan Xi was 10 years old, she knew she had a fiancé, and Chu Mo was only 14 years old at that time.
Yan Xi frowned. What did a 10-year-old kid know about love and affection? At that time, she only regarded Chu Mo as an older brother. Later, when the Chu family broke off the engagement, Yan Xi didn't feel sad at all.
But now, she felt that Chu Mo was disgusting.
Chu Mo was still trying to get closer to Yan Xi when he suddenly heard the sound of a cup breaking in the kitchen.
Yan Xi and Chu Mo turned their heads at the same time and saw Lin Ranran also standing in the kitchen. The cup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered, exploding into a gorgeous ice flower on the ground.
She walked quickly forward, took Chu Mo's hand, and kept a distance from Yan Xi.
Even though her father repeatedly told her not to, Lin Ranran couldn't help but look at Yan Xi.
Hateful and fearful, "Yan Xi, if it weren't for you, how could the Lin family be like this now! You are very proud, right? Why are you trying to seduce Brother Chu Mo now? What are you thinking?"
Yan Xi frowned.
She quickly grasped the key words in Lin Ranran's words and asked the system in her mind, "Tongzi, was Zhou Yanci responsible for the Lin family's affairs?"
[Let me check...]
The system is not omnipotent, but it is easy for it to query this kind of digital data. [Yes! However, Zhou suppressed the news, and not many people know the truth. ]
It’s true.
Yan Xi had thought about it before, after all, there were not many people who could do this.
She just didn't expect that Zhou Yanci would help her.
Lin Ranran still stared at Yan Xi eagerly, but Chu Mo was not willing to be held by her, nor did he want to show closeness to her anymore, so he took the initiative to pull Lin Ranran's hand away.
"Brother Chu Mo! Don't be fooled by this woman! She is playing hard to get and deliberately seducing you!"
The end of the eye is raised.
Seduce him? He wanted it.
"Seduce you! Let him pee and see what's going on. How could our Xixi seduce him?"
Seeing that Yan Xi had not returned for a long time, Zhou Qingyu went downstairs to look for her, and happened to see the three of them entangled in a scene.
She immediately stepped forward and protected Yan Xi behind her, "Don't you see how much you weigh? You are just something you picked up from a trash can, like a kappa. You are the only one who treats you like a treasure. Why would anyone care about you?"
Zhou Qingyu was still very good at scolding people. Without uttering a single dirty word, she humiliated the person from head to toe.
Yan Xi clearly saw that Chu Mo's face turned dark, and Lin Ranran's face also turned dark.
Chuan Mo clenched his fists. If Zhou Qingyu wasn't pretty and the Zhou family wasn't rich, he would have punched her.
Lin Ranran was unwilling to accept it. "If she wasn't trying to seduce Brother Chu Mo...why did she go downstairs? And she even took the initiative to talk to Brother Chu Mo."
Zhou Qingyu crossed her arms, "I am dying of laughter. Is this kitchen owned by your family? He can come but we can't? Our Xixi already has someone she likes! More handsome than Chu Mo, better than Chu Mo, and richer than Chu Mo! No one cares about your Kappa, so hurry up and take him with you!"
Lin Ranran's face turned pale.
Zhou Qingyu's description immediately reminded her of a person - Zhou Yanci.
At first she thought that Zhou Yanci was instructed by Zhou Qingyu to bring down the Lin family, but it turned out to be Yan Xi?
How could Yan Xi be so lucky? Not only did she leave the Lin family to be with Zhou Qingyu, she also hooked up with Zhou Yanci!
Chu Mo couldn't help but think of Zhou Yanci.
After all, he was conceited and thought that there were people who were more handsome than him and richer than him, but there were very few who could meet both of these criteria at the same time, and Zhou Yanci was one of them.
The Lin family’s matter…was it Zhou Yanci who did it?
It all makes sense.
Chu Mo is still somewhat wary of Zhou Yanci, and no one wants to become the next Lin family.
Although he was unwilling, he still took Lin Ranran's hand, turned around and left the kitchen.
After the two of them left, Zhou Qingyu turned around and looked at Yan Xi nervously, "Are you okay? Did those two grandsons bully you?"
Yan Xi smiled, "No!"
Zhou Qingyu appeared too quickly, leaving her no time to make a move.
Moreover, Yan Xi knew that Lin Ranran was a weakling, and the most terrible way of revenge she could think of was probably to expose her identity as a fake daughter.
Chu Mo was a little troubled, but since this was in the villa, Yan Xi didn't think he would dare to do anything.
Yan Xi was just curious, "So, when did I start to like someone? How come I didn't know?"
Zhou Qingyu tapped her head. "How long has it been since we left? You've already forgotten about him? Shen Xinghe! Although he's not as rich as Chu Mo, I'm optimistic about him. When he becomes the TV King in the future, it won't be a piece of cake for him to make money."
Yan Xi was stunned. "No, I just admire him. It's the love of a fan. It's similar to how I like Han Shu and Si Ye, right?"
Zhou Qingyu was stunned, "The person you like is not him?!"
The cell phone suddenly rang. It was Chaochao calling.
"Wait a minute, my roommate is calling me, I'll call back."
Yan Xi went to the side to answer a phone call, and was some distance away from Zhou Qingyu.
Zhou Qingyu stamped her feet in frustration, "Why would Xixi not like Shen Xinghe? Could it be that she hasn't gotten over her broken heart yet?"
On the other side, Yan Xi walked to the kitchen window with her phone in hand. Chao Chao's extremely excited voice came from the microphone, "Xi Xi! Is your live broadcast over?"
"I watched your concert! It was awesome! Siye-chan is so cute! Can you get me an autographed photo? Please, please!"
Yan Xi pinched her nose and said helplessly, "You told me two days ago that you liked Shen Xinghe and asked me to get you an autographed photo of him. You don't like him now?"
Chao Chao said righteously, "What's wrong with having more walls? The Qing Dynasty died early, don't restrict yourself! Besides, I'm not a playboy, I just want to share my love with more men!"
Yan Xi smiled, "Okay, okay, I'll ask the US for one before I leave, but you're already in Country M, right? I'll send it to you soon."
"Love you! You're the best!"
Zhou Qingyu was not far away from Yan Xi.
She couldn't hear Yan Xi's phone call, she only saw her helpless smile, and her voice sounded very forced.
She just heard her say that the call was from her roommate?
Is that the roommate who splashed water on her face? !
No wonder Yan Xi's smile was so helpless! It turned out that she still couldn't forget that man and was forcing herself to smile in front of her roommate!
Zhou Qingyu was very angry.
The flight attendants on the plane before were obviously not competent!
Shen Xinghe is not good either! What's the use of being handsome and having good acting skills? He still can't win Yanxi's heart. Until now, Yanxi is still obsessed with that stinky man of her roommate!
The more Zhou Qingyu thought about it, the more unhappy she became, so she simply took out her cell phone.
——She didn’t have Shen Xinghe’s contact information, but Xingyao had a large group and all employees were in it.
Zhou Qingyu brazenly @Shen Xinghe in the group: [Shen Xinghe you are too bad! ]
This is a large group of stars.
Everyone saw the news.
Qiao Yan, who was having a drink near Xingyao, spat out a mouthful of cocktail when he saw the news, spraying it all over Wu Liao's face.
"The eldest lady is in a relationship with Shen Xinghe?!"
Wu Liao cursed and wiped the wine stains off his face while checking the group message. "Damn! This isn't what I understood it to mean, right?"
Qiao Yan: "Of course it is! Otherwise, why would the eldest lady break off the engagement with the second young master Pei? Think about it, she invested in "Bottom Line" first, and then broke off the engagement. Isn't there a connection here?"
Wu Liao originally thought it was nothing, but after listening to it...it seemed like there was something!
"Also, the question that the eldest lady asked Shen Xinghe at the "Bottom Line" project meeting was very strange!"
Wu Liao nodded awkwardly, "That's really weird!"
What normal boss would ask the male lead to take off his clothes and do push-ups in a project meeting and ask about his family situation? She also asked if Shen Xinghe's mother was easy to get along with! If this is not to find out about the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in advance, then what is it?
Qiao Yan slammed the table hard, "Shen Xinghe must do it! Otherwise, the eldest lady will be reluctant to leave the second young master Pei again!"
The Ministry of Economic Affairs has been flooded with resources recently, and many artists are showing signs of taking off. Qiao Yan doesn't want to go back to her old days of frugality.
She poked Wu Liao and said, "You are a man, you know how to make Shen Xinghe become so good?"
Wu Liao straightened his back instantly, and raised his head very high. "I'm already good enough, I don't need anything else. How would I know?"
Qiao Yan sneered, "Okay, it's not like we haven't slept together before, I don't know how good you are. Hurry up and recommend some useful things to Shen Xinghe. When the young lady returns to the country, even if Shen Xinghe can't do it, he must give it to me!"
——
On the other side, Shen Xinghe was filming a night scene on the set.
As the filming progressed, he became more and more adept and got into the role more quickly.
He got along well with everyone on the crew, and there were many seniors who were willing to act with him and teach him some acting techniques in their spare time.
It was just that during the filming today, Shen Xinghe accidentally hit his waist. Fortunately, it was not serious, and Shen Xinghe did not show it. He planned to go back and apply a plaster.
However, everyone seems to know about this.
As soon as the filming was over, Shen Xinghe turned on his phone and found that it was full of messages asking about his health.
The caring words warmed people's hearts.
Even Jiang Tao became particularly friendly today. He took a blue box and sneakily put it into his arms. "Men are like this when they get older. It's okay, it will be fine!"
Shen Xinghe was very moved, "Director Jiang, thank you~"
Jiang Tao patted Shen Xinghe's shoulder heavily, "Young man, it's not easy. If you don't have enough, come to me again. Don't be polite!"
…
That night, Shen Xinghe returned to the hotel, took a shower, and planned to apply the painkillers that Director Jiang had given him.
Looking at the small blue pills in the blue box, a question mark slowly emerged on Shen Xinghe's forehead.
