TISHW 69




Chapter 69 Different

Shu Hua arrived first. She had just sat down and had yet to take a breath when Qin Shiyu mentioned he had arrived in the group chat.

Shu Hua felt it was an illusion, "He wants to eat with us? Why?"

Although Qin Shiyu got along well with everyone on the show, in private, he had no contact with anyone except for Jiang Yu and Shu Hua. Jiang Yu even participated in a small group activity once, while Qin Shiyu never.

"Maybe he has a rare gap in time?" Xiang Chen guessed, "After all, he is usually too busy. He is rushing to travel before and after the recording of the program."

As Qin Shiyu's cousin, Shu Hua could confirm that was definitely not the case. He didn't like to get close to people. Shu Hua was puzzled. When Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen got up to receive him, she sat down next to Jiang Yu, " Bigshot, do you know why? It can’t be that he suddenly remembers me, his younger cousin sister and wants to take care of me, right?”

Jiang Yu found it amusing. Recalling the message he sent to her, she joked, "Maybe he wants to blend in with everyone?"

Shu Hua seemed to have heard some kind of joke, "Him? Blending in with everyone? He wishes for everyone to ignore him."

"So what does he want to do?"

Jiang Yu put the water glass in front of her, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Who can guess his thoughts?"

"That's true," Shu Hua looked at Jiang Yu doubtfully, "Bigshot, you don’t have any curiosity at all."

Jiang Yu laughed. Of course she was curious, it was just that it was unnecessary to spend time exploring such meaningless things. And it had nothing to do with her.

While they were chatting, three people came in from the door of the restaurant. The two were leaning on the railing on the second floor in sight. Shu Hua propped her chin and sighed, "I kind of understand the feeling of the flowers shining brightly. When these three people walk together, it’s quite eye-pleasing.”

Jiang Yu looked over. The protagonists indeed had their own halo. The three of them were all outstanding. Now that they were together, they were even more eye-catching. Several young people even picked up their cameras and took pictures of them.

However, Jiang Yu’s eyes were attracted to Qin Shiyu who was walking in the middle.

He was taller than Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen. He made a simple white T-shirt and denim jeans look fashionable. Compared with Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen, who were slender and straight, he looked carefree like a dandy.

As if aware of their gazes, he raised his head and looked over. After meeting Jiang Yu's gaze, his eyebrows instantly curved. There seemed to be bright stars in his eyes. Jiang Yu couldn't help but be startled. Shu Hua raised her hand to block her eyes. "Heaven, I'm going to be blinded. He seems to be in a particularly good mood today."

Jiang Yu came back to her senses and sighed in her heart. No wonder this person could become a top star. Even if everything else was put aside and he just stood on the stage and smiled like this, it was estimated that not many people could withstand it.

However, he had more than his appearance... As the dishes were served one after another, Jiang Yu was a little surprised when she saw Qin Shiyu chatting happily with Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen.

To be honest, before he came, everyone thought that this meal would become a social one because of him. Although it wouldn’t be uncomfortable, it would probably be polite and the atmosphere would be harmonious.

She didn't expect that it would become acquaintance and friendly mode. Before the food was fully served, Xiang Chen's words were no longer so perfunctory, "...I thought you aren’t easy to get along with. It turns out that we had preconceived ideas. We should had called you to join earlier."

"The main thing is that I get along with you guys. It's more relaxing to be with you. Other working environments aren’t as good." Qin Shiyu smiled and saw Jiang Yu pining for the Three Cup Chicken placed across the table. He picked up a piece for her with public serving chopsticks.

His movements were so natural that no one, including Jiang Yu, felt there was anything wrong. Shu Hua looked at the chicken in Jiang Yu's bowl and looked at Qin Shiyu eagerly. She wanted it too. It seemed that Qin Shiyu didn't see it and turned to Xiang Chen and Ye Yuanyu and continued, "If you have any events in the future, you can call me in the group. I will definitely come when I have time. Treat it as relaxing."

His recognition obviously made the two of them feel happy and expressed affirmation. They began to share their interests and hobbies.

Shu Hua flattened her lips and was about to stand up and help herself. Ye Yuanyu reached out and placed the plate directly in front of her, he said with disgusted tone, "Do your best. Chew the plate too."

Shu Hua glared at him, "Okay, the plate belongs to me, the table belongs to you. We will see who leaves nothing behind when we leave."

Jiang Yu gnawed at the chicken nuggets as she snickered at the two of them. It was sweet to eat candy at close range.

Xiang Chen grinned. Ye Yuanyu turned from a cold and handsome to a comedy whenever he encountered Shu Hua.

Suddenly Qin Shiyu and Ye Yuanyu looked in a certain direction at the same time and saw a figure disappearing in the corner.

Shu Hua belatedly stretched her neck, "What's wrong?"

Ye Yuanyu turned around, "Maybe it's a fan or paparazzi."

A few people didn't pay much heed. Now they were used to someone pointing their cell phones or cameras at them when they go out. Although there were few people in this private restaurant, it wasn’t improbable.

On the other side, in the nanny car driving to the hotel, Zhou Feifei's agent looked at the photos sent by the paparazzi and made a confused sound, "Is this Qin Shiyu?"

Zhou Feifei, who was happily chatting with others, immediately put down her phone and came over after hearing this, "What's up with Qin Shiyu? Where is he?" 

After seeing the photo clearly, she blurted out, "How is this possible?"

She spent a lot of time on Qin Shiyu during this period. In order to prevent the recurrence of the previous events, she personally went to inquire about those who had been in contact with and cooperated with Qin Shiyu. The feedback given was indeed exactly the same as her feeling: polite and cooperative when working together, but in fact it was extremely difficult to get close to him.  

Jiang Mingquan, who had the best relationship with him in the second season of "All Rounder", had almost no contact after the cooperation ended.

But now...

Zhou Feifei stared at the photo again. On the simple square table, the handsome man put the food into the bowl of the beautiful girl, with a smile on his always indifferent face...

Anyone who looked at it would feel that this man cared about that girl.

"He actually likes Jiang Yu?" Fang Ke found it incredible.

Zhou Feifei shook her head, "Maybe it's a matter of the timing of the photo capture. Maybe he was smiling because of something else?"

Fang Ke was much more rational than her, "Qin Shiyu never attends small group meals like this. He probably went there for Jiang Yu."

Zhou Feifei didn’t want to accept it. It would be fine if the other party was the daughter of a wealthy family like the daughter of the Zhao family. But Jiang Yu? Why?

She had worked her way up through hard work. She got looks and the IQ. In what way was she worse than Jiang Yu?

Fang Ke understood her quite well. Seeing this, she comforted her, "Why are you angry? She's going to be a goner soon. While you, don't put the cart before the horse. Adjust your state. Recording this episode well is the most important thing."

Zhou Feifei stared at the WeChat interface on her phone and took a deep breath, "Yes, I don't need to pay heed to her. She will be the next pitiful person."

Thinking of her plan, the breath that Zhou Feifei had been holding in her chest since yesterday relaxed a little.

Heaven knew how popular the released edited version of the fourth episode of "All Rounder 3" she saw yesterday.

The audience were shipping the double-A couple with full force. As soon as Jiang Yu appeared, the barrage contained all kinds of screams, exclamations and praises. On the contrary, she, the little flower with the highest traffic, was overshadowed by Jiang Yu and didn't have any scenes. There were only two scenes that evoked everyone’s mood. One was her getting frightened by the snake and running away in panic, and the other was deceived by the fake treasure map and circling around. The audience laughed at her and called her stupidly cute.

Immediately, some netizens compared her performance in "All Rounder 3" with her high-energy movements as a top student in variety shows she had participated in the past. In the end, they said that she was a fake top student and would show her cowardice in front of a real top student.

The traffic status she earned through hard work had become a stepping stone for a few ordinary people.

Fang Ke said, "Perform well. The company has already evaluated you. If your performance this time is average, you won't be able to participate in this program again."

Zhou Feifei pursed her lips, "I know."

So this episode was her last chance, whether it was to restore her image or get close to Qin Shiyu.

She had done enough homework for tomorrow.

When it came to Qin Shiyu, she was too anxious at first and didn't inquire clearly. This led to her going astray. Now she couldn't change her attitude immediately and could only take her time. So she needed to deal with Jiang Yu who was stealing her limelight in every aspect.

Otherwise, if Qin Shiyu really fell in love with Jiang Yu, wouldn't she have no room to work hard in the future?

And those stupid viewers, how much do they know about her? How much do they know about Jiang Yu? They actually compared the two of them together! Absolutely ridiculous.

"With so many flaws, she dared to create a simple persona that was cute and shy." Zhou Feifei sneered, "I don't know if she is smart or stupid."

Because Qin Shiyu liked Jiang Yu, Zhou Feifei wanted to know what he liked about her. So she personally contacted the rich second generation and the "friends" who had been in contact with Jiang Yu and found out how vain and snobby Jiang Yu was before. In order to squeeze into the circle of rich young men, she and her friends "worked hard".

"The key is that she is short-sighted. Once she sees that she can be famous in "All Rounder", she immediately ignores all the friends who were struggling with her." Reaching here, Zhou Feifei found it amusing, "For a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, she breaks her head. While she refused Qin Shiyu."

"She is someone who aims to be the young madam of a rich family. Most people probably won't place her any importance, no matter how good she is." Fang Ke felt that fate was playing tricks on people, "It turns out that Qin Shiyu likes this kind. Say, isn't this vexing?”

"There's nothing to be vexed about," Zhou Feifei replied, "Anyway, since she doesn't seize the opportunity, no one can be blamed."

Fang Ke said, "I don't know what her expression will be when she finds out that Qin Shiyu is the heir to the Qin Group."

This was a pleasant guess. Zhou Feifei grinned, "It's a pity that it'll be too late to regret it."

Thinking of this, she asked Fang Ke, "Have the paparazzi photographed anything recently?"

After learning about Jiang Yu's situation, they hired a paparazzi to keep an eye on Jiang Yu and take pictures of her whenever she went on a date with a man. Although Zhou Feifei got some photos from Jiang Yu's "friends", it wasn’t convincing enough.

Fang Ke said, "None. The material in the first two episodes made her very cautious. Can't find anything on her at all. Now no one knows where she lives." 

She shook her phone, "It’s through "All Rounder" schedule, they only capture this."

Having said this, she looked at the people in the photo and sighed, "So, no matter how smart a man is, he will be bedazzled by beauty? Don’t them rich like to investigate everything they do? Jiang Yu's experience cannot withstand scrutiny." "

Zhou Feifei responded, "Maybe it's because the program crew is bored and he knew she isn't a serious person, he flirts with her to pass the time."

Fang Ke contemplated, "It makes sense. If he wants to kill time, he wouldn't need to waste time and energy investigating her. But..." 

She was a little unsure, "Qin Shiyu would go to a meal to see her for fun?”

Zhou Feifei didn't want to think about this anymore,, "Whether it's sincere or for fun, it's impossible for him to like a vain money-worshiping girl who slaps him in the face."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and continued to send messages to the other party: 【Wenwen, does Jiang Yu know that you are trying to block her? She arrived in City C very early today and is already at the hotel. 】

Looking at the angry emoji from the other side, she smiled slightly, "This time the evidence is conclusive. She has no room for clarification and sophistry."

"And it would be better if Qin Shiyu can see it with his own eyes. It would save me having to rack my brains to make up excuses and make it look like I’m slandering her."

Fang Ke glanced at her mobile phone, "How are you sure there will be a dandy looking for Jiang Yu?"

Zhou Feifei sneered, "Birds of a feather flock together, and similar people flock together. How many tricks did Jiang Yu and her good 'friends' use to make their debut? In the end, she is the one who got ahead and kicked the others away. It’s heard that she’s not answering the phone or replying to messages. How can they not be angry?”

Fang Ke understood, "Yes, this line of work has the most pink-eyed and white-eyed wolves."

Zhou Feifei stated proudly, "I only reminded them of Jiang Yu, who is an ordinary person becoming popular and can't withstand the storm. She must maintain a good reputation and not let reporters photograph the stone hammer being destroyed. They immediately found the right person.”

Fang Xiao grinned, "You are indeed smart. This way, Qin Shiyu can see her true face. Afraid that others will expose her past, she’ll be in a bad state when recording the show. For you, you can kill two birds with one stone."

Zhou Feifei smiled and added, "Qin Shiyu may even target her on the show when he is angry. Then with the marketing account’s cooperation..." 

She beamed happily, "This time she won't be able to stand up."
