TISHW 109




 Chapter 109 Like her

Qin Shiyu laid back on his seat again and put his phone in his pocket as if out of sight meant out of mind.

Shortly later, he turned to Xu Lehua and asked, "What's the next job?"

"Is the world really coming to an end? You actually take the initiative to ask me about work." Xu Lehua teased him and replied, "In response to your request to only do one job a day, today's task has been completed. You can take a good look at the script, "Only Like You" in the afternoon. It will be ready to start filming next week."

"Tomorrow, there will be a live broadcast from the crew of "The Devil's Hour" at noon. It’s expected to last for one and a half hours. The location isn't set. Come to the company or at your home...I say," Xu Lehua listened to the messages on Qin Shiyu's cell phone dinging in his pocket and rubbed his forehead, "If you don't want to read the message, can you mute it or set an do not disturb? Aren’t you bothered by the sound like this?"

Qin Shiyu laid on the chair with a peaceful look and said calmly, "I'm not bothered."

Xu Lehua:......

He finally discerned that this person was irked himself and wanted others to join him.

Xiao Ding, who was driving in front, asked, "Elder Brother Hua, where are we going back to?"

Xu Lehua looked at Qin Shiyu questioningly. Qin Shiyu said, "Tinglan Community."

Xu Lehua:......

A few days ago, he wouldn’t go back no matter what. Now he started to act up again. He had a hunch that Qin Shiyu's treatment process was probably the process of constant acting ups.

Xu Lehua thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and opened Weibo, entered Jiang Yu's topic, and a bunch of messages quickly came out: "How come the Jiang family suddenly couldn't sit still and started to mobilize public opinion to find Jiang Yu's living place? Force Jiang Yu to come out to see them."

"However, the minor account should be Jiang Yu’s handiwork. It's a wonderful trick to divert trouble to the east. Now the Jiang family and Jiang Xue are blocked and unable to get out." Xu Lehua praised, "Truth to be told, Jiang Yu is brilliant. I feel like there is nothing she can’t solve. Once she is separated from her second uncle’s family, her life will be free.”

After saying that, he turned around to see Qin Shiyu's expression and saw that he had his eyelids lowered and his lips pursed. There was actually a slight sense of frustration.

Xu Lehua:......

He said Jiang Yu was very powerful and could solve problems by herself. Shouldn't he be relieved? Why was he feeling down?

"It's better to keep an eye on it," Qin Shiyu's frustration disappeared in a flash. He soon returned to his lazy master look, "The reversal of online public opinion sometimes happens in an instant, so don't be careless."

Xu Lehua said deliberately, "Those who don't know may think that Jiang Yu is an artist in our studio. Every time when dealing with online public opinion, we take care of her share."

Qin Shiyu said, "These matters that happened to her is originally my responsibility, so I can't leave her alone."

It didn’t sound right to Xu Lehua, "That was all before. How can it be your responsibility this time?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Chen Yalian contacted the Jiang Family and said that the 50 million is given to me as Jiang Yu's betrothal gift. If I don't want to get married, the 50 million will be compensated to them."

Xu Lehua took a breath, "So this is using the hands of Second Uncle Jiang's family to steal money? This Chen Yalian isn't good at anything else but her crooked ways are abundant."

Qin Shiyu said, "The Jiang family doesn't dare to mess with me, so naturally they can only set their eyes on Jiang Yu. I don't know how long they will pester for."

Internet public opinion was only temporary. For shameless people, as long as they could get 50 million, they won't care about anything and will definitely not give up on Jiang Yu.

Xu Lehua didn't expect that he would be able to put it on himself and said speechlessly, "It's not your fault. If you think about it, Chen Yalian is the culprit."

Qin Shiyu laughed at himself, "Then why did Chen Yalian target Jiang Yu?"

Xu Lehua choked. In the end, it was Chen Yalian who led Jiang Yu to Qin Shiyu step by step.

Still.

"Even without Chen Yalian, given the greed of the second uncle and second aunt of the Jiang family, Jiang Yu would have experienced this sooner or later."

Qin Shiyu was noncommittal, "Anyway, just helping out along the way. You know that she has her own ideas. We just need to cooperate a little and it won't take much effort."

Xu Lehua had nothing to say. For Qin Shiyu, he would protect Jiang Yu.

Qin Shiyu returned to Tinglan Community, opened the door, and looked around subconsciously. When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but smile. However, he seemed to understand the meaning of home mentioned by Jiang Yu. A place that would make people miss it. Apart from everything he had arranged with his own hands, there was also the people living inside.

There was a bouquet of new flowers on the coffee table. This time she probably bought fresh cut flowers. Some were buds, some were budding, and some had already bloomed. They were so delicate and beautiful. They were all arranged in the vase in an orderly manner, exuding the faint fragrance of flowers/ Qin Shiyu leaned over and smelled it. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Except for Jiang Yu, the life assistant didn't dare to buy anything for him casually.

Turning around, he pushed open the study door. It looked clean and tidy. Qin Shiyu's eyes fell on the chair they had assembled together. He walked over and sat down, only to find that there was something different on the desk. There was the addition of colored carbon pens in the pen holder, sticky notes neatly placed next to them, and a black hair tie hanging on the longest pencil.

Reaching out to take off the hair tie, an image of Jiang Yu sitting here and staring at the computer while tying up her long hair unconsciously appeared in her mind. However, she seemed to be afraid of pulling her hair because the hair tie would tie loosely at home as there would always be some hair falling on the sides of the cheeks...

The cell phone started ringing again. Qin Shiyu hesitated for a moment and took it out from his pocket. From the frequency, it was indeed 【All Rounder Investigation Team 】.

It turned out that when Shu Hua stopped talking and Jian Cang jumped out this time:

Jian Cang: 【Why didn’t you tell me that Elder Sister Yu came to S City?! Isn't it inappropriate to start a small group behind my back? 】

Xiang Chen: 【Aren’t you training and unable to come out? The competition is about to begin, so be serious. 】

Jian Cang: 【I don’t care. Putting aside Shu Hua who can’t come, we’re all in S City. Why should I be excluded? 】

Shu Hua: 【Woo~ I want to go too... Bigshot, why did you go to City S out of the blue? Is it because of the media lying in wait for you? 】

Jiang Yu: 【There is a little bit of that factor. Mainly it is to discuss something with Ye Yuanyu. Considered a business trip. 】

Qin Shiyu let out a breath. That’s right. She had a cooperation with Ye Yuanyu. She was on a business trip there.

Shu Hua: 【Then why is Elder Brother Chen there? Have you collaborated with Ye Yuanyu? 】

Xiang Chen sent a happy emoji: 【I can’t have dinner with Jiang Yu unless there’s collaboration? We are good friends now. When she comes to S City, of course I will fulfill my duties as host on my home ground. 】

Jiang Yu sent a satisfied emoji: 【Xiang Chen is wonderful and knows a lot of delicious food. 】

Qin Shiyu pursed his lips and stared at Xiang Chen's profile picture with a heavy gaze. He didn't remember that Xiang Chen liked to eat...

Shu Hua made a drooling expression: 【I want to eat it too. 】

Ye Yuanyu: 【You better not come, there’s nothing if you come. 】

Shu Hua sent out a duel chibi and slashed her sword quickly: 【If there’s no class tomorrow, I would had flown over right now and followed Bigshot and pissed you off. 】

Ye Yuanyu sent ‘come and try it’ emoji.

Jian Cang: 【I can go out tomorrow. I will fulfill my duties as a host on home ground tomorrow. 】

Xiang Chen: 【Jiang Yu has a full schedule for tomorrow. It will be Hu Ji’s breakfast in the morning, working with Ye Yuanyu in the morning, eating at a famous Cantonese restaurant at noon. You are allowed to come along to bask in the light. We’ll leave for City C in the afternoon. 】

Jian Cang: 【Speaking of this, have you bought tickets? Shall we buy the tickets and go together? 】

Xiang Chen: 【Let’s go separately. Currently, many media want to know about Jiang Yu. It will be too conspicuous for us to go together. 】

Jian Cang: 【It will be dangerous for Elder Sister Yu to go alone. If she is recognized, she will be in trouble. 】

Xiang Chen: 【So I will accompany her. You guys each go your own way. Then we will disguise ourselves. I guarantee everything will be fine. 】

Jian Cang sent a praising emoji: 【Of course we can rest assured when Elder Brother Chen handles the matter. So the important task of protecting Elder Sister Yu will be left to you. 】

Xiang Chen sent an honored expression.

Qin Shiyu looked at the big-headed doll with a flattering smile, took a deep breath and put the phone on the table. He couldn't help but think, this person had ulterior motives. Couldn't Jiang Yu see it?

She was still in the contract period. Did she want to pay 10 million?

The phone was silent for a long time. Shu Hua seemed to be in class. Jian Cang stopped after making an appointment to meet tomorrow. Qin Shiyu stood up suddenly, pushed the phone aside, got up and walked out of the study to go to the sofa to read the script.

Half an hour later... Qin Shiyu put the script on the coffee table in annoyance, returned to the study, and picked up his phone...

Jiang Yu had a very satisfying meal at this side. After coming out, Xiang Chen wanted to go back to the law firm, while Jiang Yu was going to follow Ye Yuanyu back to his company.

Xiang Chen looked at the two of them with envy, "A freelancer and a boss, take pity on me, an employee."

Ye Yuanyu smiled, "Employees can start and get off work on time. Our time isn't our own."

Xiang Chen smiled, "Stop with the humble brag. At least your time is flexible. I'll see you in the evening."

The three bidded goodbye. Jiang Yu went to Ye Yuanyu's company. He had sorted out the functions that high-end users needed for mobile phone protection software. Jiang Yu and he determined the priority of function development. Both of them were very efficient people. It only took an hour to finish the meeting, Jiang Yu simply found a seat in his company to sit down and write code.

Ye Yuanyu was in the entrepreneurial stage. The company's staff were small but skilled. Although the office wasn't big, it was comfortable and free. No one came to disturb. Jiang Yu sat by the window and quickly got into the zone.

When she regained sense again, the sky had completely darkened and the lights in the office were brightly lit.

Ye Yuanyu brought her a cup of coffee, "You got some concentration. No wonder you are so efficient."

Jiang Yu smiled, accepted it, and took a sip, "Finish it early and I can have fun."

Ye Yuanyu checked his phone, "Xiang Chen has already set off. Let's pack up and go downstairs."

Jiang Yu nodded and was getting up to pack up her computer when her cell phone rang: 【Where are you? 】

It turned out to be from Qin Shiyu.

Jiang Yu was confused and lowered her head to reply: 【In City S. Didn't you see my message? 】

Qin Shiyu: 【I saw it. I also saw the news in the group. That’s why I’m contacting you. I am in S city. 】

Jiang Yu was surprised: 【Are you in S city? 】

Qin Shiyu: 【En, I finished making the work and happened to be hungry. Where are you? 】

Jiang Yu showed the information to Ye Yuanyu, "Qin Shiyu is in S City. He saw the messages in our group after finishing his work. Can we add him?"

Ye Yuanyu said, "With his current popularity, we probably won't be able to eat at the food stalls. The private rooms of the food stalls aren't very private. Find another place?"

But Jiang Yu wanted to eat. Xiang Chen introduced a lot of delicious food in that food stall at noon. They were all dishes she had never tasted before. Food should not be expensive. many of them were hidden among the people.

After pondering about it, Jiang Yu lowered her head and replied to Qin Shiyu: 【You had too many fans now. staying with us will easily cause congestion. Which hotel were you staying in? I'll ask someone to pack and send you a copy soon. 】

Qin Shiyu, who got off the plane:...

"You're not allowed to go." A firm voice came from the side. Qin Shiyu turned around and saw his assistant Xiao Ding holding luggage in one hand and a phone in the other. His tone was serious, "I'm already here. I'll accompany you to eat. You have a boyfriend and still go to dinner with other boys? Where do you put me?"

It was unknown what was said on the other side. A smile appeared on his face and his tone became gentle, "You can have a dessert first if you are hungry to cushion your stomach, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ding turned around and saw Qin Shiyu staring at him. He couldn't help but blush slightly. He rubbed his head and said shyly, "Elder Brother, my apologies."

Qin Shiyu asked, "Girlfriend?"

Xiao Ding's whole face looked like it was blooming, filled with sweetness, "En, she happens to be training in S city."

Qin Shiyu said calmly, "She wants to eat with others?"

Xiao Ding was even more embarrassed, "Actually, he's her colleague. But aren’t I here..." Reaching here, he couldn't resist laughing, "Jealousy and unreasonable tantrums are the privileges of a boyfriend."

Qin Shiyu, who was rejected because he didn't have any privileges:...

He took a deep breath and said to Xiao Ding, "Go find her. I'll go directly to the hotel."

Xiao Ding refused, "No, Elder Brother Hua told me that I had to settle you down myself. Anyway, it's on the way."

Still, he added, "Thank you, Elder Brother."

Since it was along the way, Qin Shiyu said nothing more and sent the booked hotel address to Jiang Yu.

All the way to the downstairs of the hotel, he contemplated and asked Xiao Ding, "Book an extra room."

Xiao Ding nodded and agreed to leave first. Qin Shiyu sent a message to Jiang Yu afterward: 【This hotel is very private. I have booked an extra room. You can come and stay here after dinner. 】

The other side quickly replied: 【No need, Ye Yuanyu has already booked it for me. It happens to be not far from where Xiang Chen works. It will be very convenient for us to go together tomorrow. 】

"...Listen to me or him? I'm your boyfriend. Wait for me to pick you up!"

With an expressionless face, Qin Shiyu looked at Xiao Ding who was walking in front and taking advantage of every opportunity to call his girlfriend:...

What was so great about being a boyfriend? Endless showing off?!
