Chapter 608 - That Is My Brother
Chapter 608: That Is My Brother
The news of Lu Qi’s termination of his contract was no longer a secret. It was one thing for the company he worked for to ignore him, but it was clear that they wanted to put him on ice. He wasn’t a good-tempered person either, he immediately called his manager over to the company.
At this moment, the vice president was talking to him earnestly. “Don’t be in a hurry to leave. Think about it. If you break your contract before the time is up, the penalty isn’t a small amount either.”
With a penalty of over ten million yuan, even if Lu Qi could afford to pay for the past few years, his savings would be emptied out.
The man pursed his lips and did not reply. Instead, he asked, “If you don’t break the contract, are you willing to go and press the dirt?”
“When my script was snatched by other A-list actors, did you give me a chance to fight for it?”
Now, no company dared to look for him. The roles that were originally agreed upon had all been blown. The company also refused to give him the script. It was obvious that they were prepared to exhaust him to death.
The vice president laughed like a flower and pushed back the question. “Isn’t this the manager’s problem? What does it have to do with our company?”
“Xiao Qi…”as he said this, he was about to say something more serious, but the office door opened automatically. The vice president raised his head and frowned, but before he could say anything.., he saw a pretty girl behind his boss. She was staring at Lu Qi with her cat eyes open.
The Vice President:”?”
He looked at his boss and did not understand why they were here. However, he stood up and gave up his seat. He asked in surprise, “President?”
“Why are you here?”
Everyone except Ye sang was stunned.
The manager pulled Lu Qi and said in a low voice, “Brother Lu, do you think this girl is the girl who pestered you not long ago?”
The girl’s round eyes were wide open, and she was leaning forward, smiling sweetly at him. Her cat eyes were curved, and she was indescribably obedient.
She silently said two words to herself, “Brother.”
The manager understood what she meant, and her voice became softer. “Brother Lu, this girl is really your girlfriend’s fan.”
Lu Qi frowned. He understood what her manager meant. The fact that this girl came here with the President of Starlight Entertainment meant that the two of them had a close relationship.
The reason why he wanted to terminate the contract was mostly because of the company’s problems. Ignoring everything else, just the penalty for breaching the contract was a sky-high price. It would be best if it could be resolved peacefully, but terminating the contract was also the worst option.
Ye sang wanted to pounce on her son, but her brother grabbed the back of her clothes. Huo Yuchen pulled her clothes coldly, but she could not move and turned to glare at him.
The man snorted and stared at her coldly.
“Behave yourself.”
Ye sang pouted like she was lecturing a primary school student. She stood up unwillingly and retreated quietly. She looked at the confrontation between the two sides, but the scene that she had imagined was not there. The manager stood up and smiled apologetically, “The vice president is right. Why don’t we take a look at the matter of canceling the contract?”
“I believe the company will provide a good solution.”
The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries. Finally, Lu Qi and his manager left the office. Ye sang left her brother and trotted after them. Huo Yuchen did not stop her.
He knew that ye sang liked Lu Qi.
A girl’s feelings were always poetic. When she was 16 years old, he saw posters all over her room. They were all of Lu Qi’s face, and it was hard not to remember them.
It was not easy to get close to his idol, but he was not heartless enough to stop her.
“Brother.”
As expected, the girl followed them.
His manager winked at him. “I told you, this girl is your girlfriend’s fan.”
He looked so obedient. As long as he could get this young lady, his artist could pick any script, not to mention canceling the contract?
The two of them seemed to be waiting for her. When ye sang caught up with them, they also stopped. The girl subconsciously tilted her head in confusion, held her breath, and did not dare to come closer.
After all, puppies were not to be touched.
And when they met not long ago, he did not seem to care about her. Ye sang stood not far away with her hands behind her back and thought anxiously.
However, Lu Qi, who had always been gentle and distant, smiled at her for the first time this time and walked towards her.
Ye sang’s eyes widened slightly, and she did not dare to move.
“It’s you again, Little Sister.”
The Man’s voice was deep and mellow. It was slightly different from the one on the posters and television. This time, it was real face-to-face contact. Ye sang did not know what to say at all. She blinked and nodded blankly.
The manager beside her could not stand it anymore. He asked directly, “Little girl, who is the president of the entertainment company to You?”
She smiled politely, but ye sang did not dislike it. Her father’s manager was the same. The assistants were all skilled and well-connected. She knew what the manager wanted to ask, she also knew the reason for Lu Qi’s change in attitude.
The little girl blinked and said, “That’s my brother.”
Her manager’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She was overjoyed and exchanged a look with her artiste. She looked at Ye sang as if she was looking at a piece of fat meat that could pounce on her in the next second.
Lu Qi’s eyes flashed. He probably didn’t expect this beautiful and exquisite little girl to be his boss’s sister.
He came back to his senses after a while and pursed his lips. He knew that this was the only chance he could seize.
Therefore, Lu Qi forced a smile and took the initiative to invite her. “Do you want to have dinner together?”
Ye sang’s beautiful eyes curved into a crescent moon. Her eyes lit up. She definitely wouldn’t refuse.
It was her first time meeting her idol up close. Who would refuse.
..
It had to be said that when a person was scheming to get close to you, but she didn’t want to refuse, it was really easy to create some kind of misunderstanding. Ye sang was used to being heartless. How could she care about what others thought, as long as her father did not scold her, there was nothing to be afraid of.
It should be the other people who should be afraid.
The two of them got along very well, and the suspected “Date”lasted for a whole week. No one wanted to hide it, or perhaps Lu Qi deliberately let others know about it.
There was a big commotion on Weibo. Everyone was guessing who Lu Qi’s girlfriend was. Although there was only one profile picture, people who were familiar with her could recognize her at a glance. Ye sang’s phone was about to explode from the calls.
There were her father’s, her father’s special assistant’s, and her brothers and sisters’. She sighed and felt that she had gone overboard.
Ye sang simply turned off her phone. She supported her chin and looked at her “Son”up close. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she felt. The corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled sweetly.
Her son was indeed the most handsome.
“Miss Ye?”
Lu Qi noticed her unblinking gaze, and the corners of his lips curved up almost imperceptibly. After so many days, he was almost certain that this girl really liked him.
To make a fan like his idol, he could do it even through the screen, not to mention in reality.
In a week’s time, he had done everything meticulously and without any insensitivity. Lu Qi felt that it was almost time. If he dragged it on any longer, things might get out of control. So he leaned closer to her and asked softly,
“I have a question. Can you tell me, Miss Ye?”
Ye sang blinked and said, “Go ahead.”
There was no sign of blushing. Lu Qi furrowed his brows and continued speaking gently as he had expected. “May I ask, does miss ye have a boyfriend?”
It was too polite. Ye sang sighed.
She felt that her son might not be good at picking up girls. She remained calm on the surface and said softly, “No.”
Lu Qi pursed his lips and stared at her for a few seconds. Just as he was about to continue, Ye sang suddenly stood up and stared at him several times, as if she wanted to memorize his appearance.
The corners of her lips curved, and her dimples were soft. She interrupted him and said in a low voice, “Little Boy, did I tell you that every character in your play is good, but the love scenes are quite stiff?”
Lu Qi’s expression froze.
Ye sang patted his shoulder. To be honest, she didn’t quite understand why they all thought she could like Lu Qi.
What kind of F * cking mother would like her son?
She wasn’t his girlfriend’s fan! She was Lu Qi’s mother’s fan!
Ye sang looked at him with sparkling eyes. She probably didn’t want to see her son’s expression, so she took the initiative to say, “I just want to stay with you for a few more days.”
“I really like you.”
The little girl’s eyes were clear, and it didn’t seem like she was lying. Lu Qi didn’t know what expression she had at all. He just looked at her quietly and took a deep breath. It was the first time he was so embarrassed.
He didn’t expect that he would be seen through by a little girl at first glance. Such a despicable and shameless behavior made even him blush, not to mention the person involved.
Ye sang did not seem to be angry. Instead, she stood up and gave him a big hug. Sensing Lu Qi’s shocked expression, she thought for a moment and said, “I just want to hug my idol.”
It was a simple hug. She smiled at him and said, “Don’t worry about the company. I’ve already said hello to my brother. They won’t make things difficult for you.”
Ye sang just wanted to be alone with her brother. He had given her time, so she would naturally help him. After all, in the past, she had to rely on her father to get in touch with him.
The little girl easily broke free from his arms. Lu Qi stiffly let go of her and looked at her expressionlessly. He didn’t know how to react.
To be honest, he had thought that it was a sure thing, but in the end, it became a complete joke. However, he couldn’t get angry at all. He didn’t have the right to get angry. Instead, he felt very guilty.
Using a girl, such a despicable thing, only he could do it.
The two sat together and ate dinner. Lu Qi did not speak at all, only looking at her, which was a rare sight.
The girl was very clean.
She was as clean as a ray of light. With a smile and a crescent moon in her eyes, Lu Qi seemed to understand why the villains in TV dramas loved girls who were righteous.
He used to think that villains were cheap, but now that he thought about it, no one could refuse a person’s clean and unreserved kindness.
Lu Qi held his chin and looked at her.
After the conversation, the atmosphere was not as strange and awkward as before. He was even in the mood to joke. He asked ye sang, “Are you really my mom’s Fan?”
“Don’t you want to consider becoming a girlfriend’s Fan?”
His voice was gentle and bewitching.
Ye sang was stunned. She slowly shook her head and shook her head firmly when she came to her senses. “No, no, no.”
She hesitated for a moment before telling the truth. “To be honest, I’ve been a fan of yours since you were 16 years old. You’re making me feel like I’ve fallen in love with my son.”
Ye sang rejected her outright. Lu Qi smiled regretfully and said, “Forget it then.”
After some thought, he added, “The trending searches on Weibo have all been suppressed. Your Brother’s PR skills are pretty good. Basically, many of them have been blocked before they could post anything.”
Speaking of which, the people in his team were quite afraid. With this kind of PR ability, if they could extend their hands like this, it was obvious that they were either rich or noble. If they offended someone they shouldn’t have offended, they might even lose their jobs.
Ye sang was stunned. She thought of something and mumbled, “It should be my dad.”
Her brother didn’t have time to care about these things.
Lu Qi covered his face tightly. He held his chin with one hand and wore a pair of sunglasses. He didn’t want to drink with her. After all, there were only two people eating together. If they got drunk, they would be in big trouble.
Moreover, he was a public figure. If he wasn’t careful, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.
Ye sang was a little dizzy from drinking. She shook her head. The little girl had red lips and white teeth. She was very pretty. She sat down and looked at Ye sang. There were even many people who wanted to take videos, but Lu Qi blocked them.
He looked at her with a smile and asked, “Why don’t You Call Your Family First?”
“I can’t send you home.”
He was a public figure, so ye sang nodded obediently to show that she understood. She rubbed her eyes and took out her phone from her bag. In a daze, she dialed someone’s number. It took a while for the call to go through.
Ye sang pouted and said in a low voice, “I was drunk outside.”
“…”the person on the other end of the line seemed to have something on and was making a lot of noise.
Ye sang continued in a low voice, “Come and pick me up. Don’t tell my dad that I snuck out.”
“…”the man on the other end of the line chuckled and asked her back with a smile, “Then why did you sneak out?”
Ye sang was quiet for a moment. She pursed her lips and answered softly, “Because I was drinking with my cub.”
She told him in a secret tone, “My cub asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I almost agreed.”
The man massaged his aching temples. Hearing her happy words, he suppressed the anger between his brows. He pursed his lips and asked, “Where are you now?”
Ye sang told him the address.
In fact, she still did not know who she was talking to.
The little girl hung up right after she finished her call. Duan Jinyan took a deep breath beside her. His face was pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat. He pressed his abdomen lightly, and a sweet and disgusting feeling came from his throat.
It was not the first time he had experienced the feeling of drinking until he wanted to vomit.
The man’s exquisite and beautiful eyes were gloomy, and his face was pale. Facing the entrepreneurs with different thoughts, he chuckled and suppressed his thoughts. He casually threw his phone to the assistant beside him, he asked her to call for a designated driver for ye sang.
She was just a little girl.
The people at the banquet today were all here for him. The shareholders and entrepreneurs from all major industries were here. What he wanted to do was not only to make friends with these people, but also to discuss cooperation and take down the East City project.
Only by taking down the East City project would his future be as smooth as walking on flat ground,
duan Jinyan was drunk by an unknown number of people. He was so drunk that he felt like vomiting and nauseous. The man’s temples were throbbing in pain, and his face was pale and without any color.
Even so, he still had a smile on his face and did not change his expression.
Frankly speaking, he did not know how long he had prepared for today’s banquet.
It was impossible for him to leave so many people behind just because of one or two words from ye sang.
