It was the first time for Gu Qianjing to enter Lin Mingqi’s study. The bookshelves and desks were filled with books. It was messy but not chaotic. All the books were classified according to their functions and labeled, making it look neat and tidy.
There is a special reception area in the study. After Gu Qianjing sat down, a faint scent of ink lingered at the tip of her nose. Sometimes she would also smell this scent when she was close to Lin Mingqi.
Lin Mingqi poured her a cup of tea and said, “You just had a meal, drink some tea to help digestion.”
”Yeah.” Gu Qianjing took the hot tea and put it on the coffee table, thinking sadly that the tea would get cold soon after everyone left.
Lin Mingqi sat down opposite her, leaning back in the large leather sofa, his hands clasped in his legs, looking a little lazy, especially with dark circles under his eyes from not getting enough sleep, making him look even lazier.
”You don’t actually have to do this.” Lin Mingqi looked at Gu Qianjing for a while and suddenly said.
Gu Qianjing was shocked. What was unnecessary? To take care of Xiaoshu? Did he already know her true identity?
She asked subconsciously, “You know everything?”
Lin Mingqi nodded, and Gu Qianjing’s heart skipped a beat.
How did he know?
Was it Liu Zhizi who told him?
Gu Qianjing thought of the strange words Liu Zhizi said yesterday. Liu Zhizi must know something.
”Dad called me last night and said that he had scolded you for not understanding the essence of Chinese culture, so you are sad, right? Did you learn gold thread inlay privately? Dad called me yesterday to praise you. Lin Mingxun showed him the live broadcast, and he praised you for doing a great job. He also said that he would hold a party at home this weekend and had a gift for you.”
Lin Mingqi noticed that Gu Qianjing seemed to be daydreaming, so he stopped and called her name.
”Qianqian?”
Gu Qianjing came back to her senses, “Hmm?”
”You don’t have to do this.” Lin Mingqi repeated, “Dad said things that people of his generation liked. You just need to live your life at your own pace.”
”……?”
Gu Qianjing blinked, and then suddenly understood what Lin Mingqi meant . Was there another reasonable explanation for yesterday’s supernatural world?
She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. “Ah… yes, yes, I’m just afraid that Dad will be disappointed… as long as he… he is satisfied!” She was talking nonsense.
There is only one thought in my mind: the wonderful life of a noble lady, come to my sister’s bowl!!!
Xiaoshu, mommy doesn’t have to leave anymore!!!
When Lin Mingqi saw that her nose was red and she looked aggrieved, his heart softened. “If mom and dad make things difficult for you again in the future, you must tell me, I… I will stand by you.” It was the first time he said such words, and it felt like his tongue was tied as he said it. It was a bit awkward and warm at the same time.
”Oh!” Gu Qianjing nodded and agreed to it. A big stone in her heart fell to the ground lightly.
Lin Mingqi’s IQ, oh! It’s a pity that his IQ is not high!
Gu Qianjing and Nanfeng agreed to meet at three o’clock in the afternoon. Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Qianjing left the study.
Xiao Shu squatted at the door of the study and drew circles, with anxiety written all over the little boy’s face.
Hearing the door open, he looked up and quickly took out his writing pad, “Mom, is there a quarrel?”
Gu Qianjing shook her head, “No, who told you that we were arguing?”
Xiao Shu wrote on the writing board very seriously, “Ziheng and Xiao Ju both said that mom and dad said that if they quarreled, they would have a fight.”
Seeing his worried little eyebrows, Gu Qianjing felt both amused and distressed. She gently pinched Xiao Shu’s chubby cheeks a few times.
”Mom assures you, we didn’t quarrel. Mom and Dad were chatting… well, very happily.” Really happy! The kind of happiness from the bottom of my heart.
At this time, Lin Mingqi also walked out of the study, with a gray-blue suit jacket draped over his arm, as if he was going out as well.
After seeing Gu Qianjing, he raised his eyebrows, “Didn’t you say you were going out? Do you want me to take you there?”
”You’re going out?”
”Yeah.” Lin Mingqi nodded, “I have an appointment to discuss something.”
Gu Qianjing wanted to say that she would drive, but Xiaoshu frowned and looked worried about the relationship between his parents, so Gu Qianjing changed her mind and said, “Okay, then wait for me to change my clothes.”
Xiao Shu, whose mood suddenly brightened up, grabbed the corner of his mother’s clothes, his big eyes sparkling, and said, “Mom, take me there.”
”Well…..go put on a coat!”
Xiao Shu immediately smiled with his eyes curved, and happily went to the cloakroom to find his coat.
Lin Mingqi turned on the navigation and found that the agency Gu Qianjing was going to and the cafe where they had agreed to meet were very close.
The car stopped at the entrance of Gutai Building. Gu Qianjing unbuckled her seat belt and said to Lin Mingqi before getting out of the car, “I’ll ask the company to send a car to take me there later. You just go about your business and don’t worry about us.”
”Well, let’s talk about it after we’re done.”
Xiao Shu jumped out of the car and waved to his father in the driver’s seat.
”Bye.” Lin Mingqi smiled back at his son.
The Southern Brokerage Company that Gu Qianjing signed with is on the 32nd floor of Gutai Building. Generally, such high-end office buildings require employees to swipe their cards to enter. If there are visitors, the doorman will first contact the visiting company and confirm before allowing entry.
But just as Gu Qianjing walked to the guardhouse, someone called her, “Sister Qian.”
A young man in a neat suit was standing at the guard post. He was not too tall, but had good proportions, fair skin and long legs. He looked delicate, gentle and a little handsome.
”Sister Qian, give me the bag.” He took Gu Qianjing’s handbag, “My name is Xiao Yuze, Brother Feng asked me to come down to pick you up!”
Then he saw Xiaoshu walking beside his mother and took the initiative to greet him, “Xiaoshu is here too? Do you want me to carry you away?”
Xiao Shu shook his head and shyly stuck to his mother’s legs.
”He can walk by himself, thank you!” Gu Qianjing politely declined and explained, “Xiao Shu is a little shy.”
”Yeah!” Xiao Yuze nodded to show his understanding. He swiped his employee card to open the elevator and stretched out his arm to protect the elevator door. After Gu Qianjing and Xiao Shu went in, he followed them in.
The elevator stopped at the 32nd floor. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator door, she heard Nan Feng’s voice. It was different from his usual broadcasting voice. He scolded with a hint of anger.
”How many times have I told you not to hype up couples for celebrities? Now the other half has fallen out, how will this half end up? Ah? Who will cover this?”
Gu Qianjing glanced at Xiao Yuze, and there must be some surprise in her eyes, so Xiao Yuze explained naturally, “Brother Feng’s image outside is quite different from that in the company. He is quite fierce in the company.”
”Sister Qian, please sit in the small conference room first.” He pushed open a half-open glass door and came back after a while, holding a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice in his hands.
Gu Qianjing took the coffee and glanced out the glass door. Nanfeng turned around and met her eyes. He raised his hand to greet her, then lowered his head to give a few instructions to the staff next to him, and then strode towards this side.
”Have you two met?”
Nan Feng sat down on the swivel chair opposite Gu Qianjing. “Teacher Gu, this is the assistant assigned to you by the company. His name is Xiao Yuze. Yuze, you should be very familiar with Teacher Gu, right? you have been watching Teacher Gu’s program recently.”
”Assistant?” Gu Qianjing raised her eyes and looked at Nanfeng. She had never heard of such a thing as an assistant before.
Nan Feng explained, “The company will assign a personal assistant to each artist. If nothing goes wrong, Yuze will always be with you during the time you sign with Nan Fang Company. He is a very good assistant in the company, and you should be satisfied.”
”oh.”
Nan Feng glanced at the wall clock and said, “Well, I still have things to do. Yu Ze will coordinate with you on the remaining work.”
”Okay, you go ahead and get busy.” Gu Qianjing stood up and watched Nanfeng walk out of the meeting room.
”Sister Qian, this list is your future work arrangement.” Xiao Yuze quickly got into the role, “Please take a look first. If you don’t understand, just ask me directly.”
Gu Qianjing took the list, which was filled with dense words. The poor student immediately chose the method that didn’t require any thinking, “Just tell me!”
Xiao Shu sipped the sour and sweet orange juice, stretched his neck to look at the list in his mother’s hand, and seriously suspected that his mother was just lazy and didn’t want to read the words. He knew his mother best.
Xiao Yuze showed the qualities of a professional assistant. He put away the written materials without changing his expression and spoke directly.
”Your most important job now is the recording of ‘Different Moms’. During the recording of the last episode, director Huang Wei was involved in a shady deal and the show went haywire. The production team announced yesterday that they would temporarily change the director, but the result has not yet come out and the time for the next recording is yet to be determined. I will continue to follow up.”
”Huang Wei is behind this?” What kind of plot is this? Gu Qianjing was dragged away by Lin Mingqi at the time and had no idea that this was going on.
”Yes.” Xiao Yuze opened a post and put it in front of Gu Qianjing. “This was posted by Huang Wei himself. He admitted that he wanted to please Li Yunhua so he bribed those old craftsmen. But because of your outstanding performance, the old craftsmen exposed the matter on the spot, so he was overturned.”
”What about Li Yunhua? How is the situation?”
”Although there is no direct evidence that Li Yunhua was involved in the scandal, some netizens suspect that it has something to do with Huang Wei. In addition, her performance on the show was not pleasing, so several of her films have been cancelled. Her agent has already started selling a villa in Yunshui, so she may be facing financial difficulties.”
Gu Qianjing guessed that Li Yunhua was short of money because she helped Deng Li pay the penalty for breach of contract. Deng Li got into trouble because she helped Li Yunhua offend Lin Mingqi. Now the brand penalty for breach of contract must be counted on Li Yunhua.
Yuze continued,
”In addition, after netizens voted, the program team of “Different Moms” decided to award you the first place in the Ankang Ancient Town Handmade Silver Jewelry Competition. The handmade experience hall named after you has begun to be designed, and the design drawings may be coordinated with us next.”
”The netizens voted?” Gu Qianjing felt a little guilty. “What did the netizens say? Did they think my behavior that day was weird?”
”No.” Yuze replied, “Netizens all praised you for being filial!”
Gu Qianjing choked on a mouthful of coffee and almost died on the spot.
She had thought of every possible reaction from netizens.
I just didn’t expect that they could praise her for being filial?
What the hell is filial piety?
Yuze picked up the phone, tapped a few times, and handed it back to Gu Qianjing.
”This is the update posted by your father-in-law, Mr. Lin Yongchang, Mr. Lin’s father, last night.”
