Xiao Chu had mentioned to her before that everyone in the company thought highly of Liang Xuer. It was Li Tingshen who had been suppressing her. She was naturally happy.

During the summer break, Li Tingshen had been preparing for his next drama and movie.

He planned to do it at the same time.

Ye Qingqiu tactfully did not disturb him. Luo Luo’s drama had also come to an end. The response was not bad and she had accumulated some popularity. She had targeted the next drama and was preparing for the audition.

During filming, Ye Qingqiu had also visited her. Every time, she would receive a lot of care from the production team.

Now that both of them were free, they went out for lunch.

Ye Qingqiu booked a famous Chinese restaurant.

Luoluo had also said that this place was not bad. Many celebrities liked to eat here, mainly because it was clean and hygienic.

Ye Qingqiu came mainly for hygiene.

However, as expected of a gathering place for celebrities, she actually met Liang Xuer, whom she had not seen for a long time.

Dressed in a long blue dress, she had long hair and was wearing a pair of sunglasses. She was very eye-catching in the crowd, but she was wearing a pair of sunglasses that could cover a third of her face.

The girl beside her was not tall. She looked around the restaurant the moment she entered and her gaze landed on Ye Qingqiu.

That action was too obvious. She was practically a target.

Then, he bowed and nodded at her.

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow.

Liang Xuer seemed to have seen her too. Her eyes under the sunglasses seemed to stare at her for a few seconds before she twisted around and walked to the seat on the other side.

She had no intention of greeting him or leaving.

Ye Qingqiu naturally couldn’t be bothered with her.

Luoluo saw everything that happened just now. The dishes happened to be served at this moment. She said, “I think that assistant seemed to be looking for you. She should have something to tell you…”

Ye Qingqiu picked up her chopsticks and placed a mouthful of food into her mouth. The taste was indeed not bad.

“I’m a well-behaved student. What’s there to say to me? Do you want to ask me how many marks I got?”

Luo Luo smiled and said, “Maybe she wants to poach you as a celebrity because you’re pretty?”

“If I wanted to, would she have the right to do so?”

Luoluo said, “That’s true.”

After lunch, they went to the washroom to touch up their makeup.

“Do you have anything you want to buy?” Luo Luo asked.

Ye Qingqiu applied a light layer of lipstick and said, “Didn’t you say that you wanted to see the Han attire and male companion? I don’t have anything to specially buy. I’ll go with you to take a look.”

“I didn’t expect ancient clothes to suddenly become popular in the 21st century.”

“Don’t you wear it often when you’re acting?”

Luoluo nodded. “There are too many types of Hanfu. There’s no such thing as the most beautiful… You’ll know when you see it.”

Ye Qingqiu didn’t comment and changed the topic. “Have you thought of signing with a company recently?”

Luo Luo paused for a moment, her eyes filled with anticipation. “…Of course I’ve thought about it, but I don’t want to sign it casually. C&P has been too popular recently. Everyone wants to enter.”

It mainly came with top-notch resources.

Ye Qingqiu thought about it and felt an inexplicable sense of pride.

It was strange that she didn’t have such strong pride even though she had lived in the Ye family since she was young.

It was because this was Li Tingshen’s doing.

Curling her lips, she placed the lip balm into her bag. “Alright, I’ll give you some pillow talk again.”

“… Look forward to it?”

“As long as you’re confident that you can show your worth in front of him.”

The two of them came out of the washroom when a figure suddenly blocked their way.

“Miss Ye…”

Ye Qingqiu took a step back and looked at the girl in front of her silently.

The girl was waiting for her to ask, but Ye Qingqiu didn’t. She could only bite the bullet and continue,

“Miss Ye, I want to talk to you.”

Ye Qingqiu turned to look at Luo Luo, who was used to it, and laughed. “Do I know you?”

“I’m Liu Xia, Miss Liang Xuer’s assistant.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. “Oh, I don’t know her.”

She was about to leave when Liu Xia blocked her way again.

“Miss Ye, if I have no choice, I won’t appear in front of you… I’m here to ask you for a favor…”

“Miss Liu.” Ye Qingqiu interrupted her. “Even if I really know you, I won’t be able to satisfy you. Who gave you the confidence and capital to think that I can give you anything?”

Liu Xia bit her lips. Indeed, this woman was as difficult to deal with as the rumors said.

“I’m the intern assistant of C&P Media. Miss Liang wants to sign her contract with C&P Media. Most people in the company think that Miss Liang is valuable, but CEO Li has refused to accept her. We also know that CEO Li cares about you…”

Ye Qingqiu reached out to brush her hair and rubbed her earlobes with a sarcastic smile.

“Then, you want me to tell CEO Li to sign Liang Xuer?”

Liu Xia was silent for a few seconds before nodding lightly. “That’s what I mean.”

“Who asked you to look for me? Liang Xuer?”

“…No, it’s me.”

“Miss Liu, you’re just an assistant. You can do whatever you want with the money. It has nothing to do with you where she wants to sign. What do you think? Do you think I’ll give you face by appearing in front of me so rashly?”

“But signing Miss Liang is a good thing for C&P Media… If you’re willing, CEO Li…”

Ye Qingqiu laughed and said, “Why should I be willing? Who doesn’t know that I can’t get along with Liang Xu’er? Your CEO Li even knows to reject her because of me. What kind of character are you?”

Even if she had immense value to the company, the world would still have to spin without her. Using her value as a bargaining chip to convince me? It was still far from what she had done previously.

Didn’t she have a backbone and pride? Why is she so shameless now? I haven’t even settled the score with her and she still wants me to let bygones be bygones?

Liu Xia stood in front of him with her head lowered.

“I just said that if it’s not a last resort…”

“Liangxu’er probably made you think that I, Ye Qingqiu, am easy to bully. Even if someone comes to step on me, I can still welcome them with a smile… At most, I’ll say a few harsh words and the matter will pass easily.”

As she spoke coldly, she took out her phone and called Li Tingshen.

The call went through a few seconds later. Before the other party could speak, Ye Qingqiu said, “Mr Li, in my impression, other than occasionally gossiping about some scandals in the entertainment industry with you, I didn’t participate in your company’s matters. Why is it that your company is unwilling to sign an artiste and has become my fault? However, I’m still very happy to hear that you didn’t sign Liang Xu’er because you cared about me.”

It’s rare for me to be in a good mood, so hurry up and get the person in front of me back. Who knows, I might be unhappy the next second and give you a pillow talk to fire her.

Li Tingshen was silent for a while before saying, “…If she can make you sleep with her, it seems like I’ll be lucky in the future.”

Ye Qingqiu pursed her lips. “So you’re not satisfied now? When have I not satisfied you?”

Luo Luo blushed when she heard that.

This… Was this something a young lady in her twenties should say? She was too… presumptuous.

Li Tingshen pursed his lips. “I was wrong. I’ll handle this, so where are you now?”

“I just had lunch with Luoluo and I’m going shopping now. Hurry up and don’t let anyone ruin my mood.”

“Yeah.”

Ye Qingqiu hung up the phone and glanced at the pale-faced Liu Xia. “Perhaps you have a chance to tell your CEO Li how valuable Liang Xuer is.”

Just as she finished speaking, Liu Xia’s phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, his hand started to tremble.

Ye Qingqiu finally walked past her.

Halfway through, she paused. “It’s meaningless for you to be cannon fodder. At most, I’ll let you come over to disgust me. Doesn’t she have an absolute trump card in her hand? What she wants is up to her.”

Liu Xia didn’t understand.

She walked out of the restaurant with Luo Luo and saw Liang Xuer’s car in the parking lot. The car door was not closed and she sat in her seat. Her gaze under the sunglasses landed on Ye Qingqiu.

He couldn’t see the expression on her face, but her pursed lips showed that she wasn’t very calm.

“Before this, I really thought that time could dilute everything. But now, it seems that the restless people have been stirring up trouble. Liang Xuer, I have to remind you again. It’s not that I didn’t take the initiative to look for you, but we can forget about what happened previously. It’s just that time doesn’t allow you to let your assistant flaunt your value in front of me. Yes, please do your best during this period of time. The higher your value is, the more valuable my patience will be.”

How could the past be forgotten?

No matter what, she couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened and leave.

She was right in front of her and she couldn’t hit or scold her. Couldn’t she say something to make her feel better?

Moreover, she was the one who couldn’t help but seduce her.

Liang Xuer frowned. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ye Qingqiu smirked. “It’s up to you. It’s good that you’re not deaf.”

Playing dumb wasn’t really stupid. Whoever felt disgusted would know.

After saying that, Ye Qingqiu walked to her car and got in.

Ye Ze opened the car door and Luo Luo got in from the other side.

Just as the car door closed, Liu Xia walked out of the restaurant with a pale face.

Luoluo saw her through the rearview mirror and shook her head lightly. “A little girl who has just entered society really doesn’t know how she died.”

Ye Qingqiu laughed. “How old do you think she is?”

“It doesn’t matter how old you are. Do you think the women in the ancient palace started fighting when they were in their teens?”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at Liu Xia coldly. “Let’s go.”

*

Ye Qingqiu had called Li Tingshen. How could Li Tingshen keep Liu Xia?

Although Liu Xia had expected this outcome, she was still close to breaking down.

What kind of existence was C&P Media now? At first, they were unknown, but now, be it celebrities or managers, their assistants wanted to enter. She had finally entered, but she was chased out so easily.

Liang Xuer accompanied Liu Xia to C&P Media. After learning that she had been fired, she got out of the car and went straight to Li Tingshen’s office.

Then, Xiao Chu stopped her outside the office. “Miss Liang, CEO Li doesn’t have anyone he wants to see this afternoon.”

Liang Xuer’s expression was cold as she took off her sunglasses. “I have something to say to Brother Tingshen regarding Liu Xia.”

Xiao Chu shook her head. “Her dismissal is a matter for the HR department. She’s just an intern assistant. Miss Liang, CEO Li doesn’t have the time to take such matters to heart. Don’t you think so?”

Liang Xuer frowned. “But she did it for me.”

“If not for you, perhaps Liu Xia would still be an intern assistant at C&P.”

Xiao Chu spoke too bluntly.

Liang Xuer wanted to find a reason to see CEO Li. She wanted to use a young lady who had just started her career…

Having been in the industry for a long time, it didn’t mean that she didn’t understand scheming.

Liang Xuer seemed to understand and her face darkened.

“What if it’s not about Liu Xia? Will he see me?”

Xiao Chu shook his head and remained silent.

Liang Xuer gave a sad laugh.

“Am I not even qualified to talk business with him?”

Xiao Chu remained silent.

Liang Xuer looked at the closed door and gritted her teeth before turning to leave.

After watching her leave, Xiao Chu knocked on the office door.

Li Tingshen was handling documents inside.

“CEO Li, Miss Liang Xuer has left, but are you really not going to sign her now? She has rejected so many companies. It seems like she intends to sign with C&P. If Madam finds out…”

Li Tingshen stopped typing and Xiao Chu fell silent.

After a long while, Li Tingshen said coldly, “Then let her know.”

“But when Madam found out, in the end…”

“Nothing will change.”
