《Stand Out Agressively》


 C1

    In the year 61 of Hongwu, the old emperor was severely ill, and there were twelve orders sent down from the palace ¡ª ¡ª Divine Doctor Ye Qiao entered the palace to give acupuncture and life to the old emperor. However, even though the orders were all together, no one was able to bring Ye Qiao back to the palace.


    The palace was a scene of mourning, but in front of the bamboo houses in the woods on the outskirts of the city, it was a beautiful scene.


    "I am Jade Sword Villa''s Young Villa Master, I am here to invite the Divine Doctor to help my father check his pulse."


    "I am Huang Jue, the one who killed the sect master. The sect master''s wife has contracted a strange illness, and all the doctors that have visited the world are helpless. I would like to ask Divine Doctor Ye to treat her.


    "The Duke of Jin''s aide, Li, requests to see Godly Doctor Ye first. The prince''s eldest son is currently suffering from a serious illness, so please help him. If the prince can recover from his illness, the prince will repay you with ten thousand gold!"


    "..."


    Along with the twelve palace ministers who had come to issue the imperial edict, the path outside the forest was filled with people who had come to seek medical advice. The background was more prominent than the one before, and the remuneration was higher as well, but even with so many people, they were still unable to invite the Godly Doctor out. Some people were not in a hurry to take the risk, but just as their feet stepped into the woods, a gust of black smoke rose up from their feet and quickly wrapped around them like mist in the forest. Finally, the person let out a scream and disappeared.


    Everyone saw that the person''s body had already turned black and died.


    "What Godly Doctor? He''s not saving others and is actually harming them. I think this Godly Doctor''s reputation is just for show, he doesn''t need to ask for help!"


    "That''s right, I''m afraid that I won''t be able to save him. I''ll just hide inside, not daring to come out. I''ll be like a turtle hiding in its shell!"


    "Everyone says that Ye Qiao Ye''s genius doctor can get rid of the dead and turn the dead into ashes, I think that it was just randomly spread around. If it doesn''t seem to be true, then everyone should leave, why not spend some money on a doctor who can treat the sick, and it would be like being scammed here."


    "Let''s go ¡­"


    "..."


    Seeing such a terrifying scene, many people had already started to doubt the name of the Godly Doctor, as they all began to shout about wanting to leave. But just as everyone was about to leave, a silver needle suddenly shot out of thin air and pierced into the head of the first man who had insulted them. The man opened his mouth to curse, but no matter how hard he tried, he was still unable to make a sound.


    Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Those who were scolding did not dare to scold again, and those who said they would leave did not dare to leave. For a time, the small road outside the forest was completely silent.


    At this moment, someone from the crowd shouted, "There''s someone in the fog!" The others all raised their heads to look at the forest filled with smoke, only to see the white mist slowly dispersing and a white figure appearing in their line of sight.


    "God-doctor Ye Qiao?"


    "Call me?"


    Before the person could even shut his mouth, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The figure was so frightened that the person yelled out, causing the person to stagger and fall backwards.


    Everyone moved out of the way.


    The white-clothed man''s eyebrows slightly raised, his limpid eyes swept across the crowd, then they landed on the poisoned dead body on the ground.


    "Divine Doctor Ye, just now, just now ¡­"


    "Give me back the silver needles."


    The white clothed man ignored the one who spoke, directly extending his hand towards the man with the sealed mute acupoint. The man could not make a sound, so he fearfully removed the silver needle from his head and returned it to the man in white. The man just took the silver needle, and the robust man fell to the ground with a "Ah" sound. Someone beside him squatted down to take a closer look at the strong man''s breathing.


    "He won''t die. At most, he''ll sleep for three days and three nights."


    Ye Qiao said coldly.


    Everyone looked at the man squatting in front of them. The man retracted his hand in embarrassment and nodded, showing that Ye Qiao was right.


    In this way, everyone felt relieved. However, the unlucky fellow who was poisoned to death ¡­


    Ye Qiao squatted down, his gaze sweeping from the poisoned man''s feet to the top of his head, and without saying a word, he threw out needles at the heart of the person. The speed of his needles was so fast that even the young master who thought he was the young master of the Jade Sword Villa could not compare to it, if Ye Qiao did not use needles, then his Jade Sword Villa would not have a place to stand.


    After applying the first needle into the heart meridian, Ye Qiao quickly applied it to various acupuncture points all over the person''s body. In just a moment, all of the needles on the cloth bag were inserted into various parts of the person''s body.


    After a while, the silver needle in his heart began to emit black smoke.


    "The poison gas is dispersed, the poison gas is dispersed ¡­"


    Suddenly, someone pointed at the person who had died from the poison and yelled out. Everyone noticed that black smoke was seeping out from the top of every single silver needle, as if it was releasing poison gas from that person''s body. In just a few moments, that person''s body was completely devoid of any black smoke, and his skin had returned to its original color and appearance.


    When the poison mist had completely dissipated, the man who had been lifeless suddenly opened his mouth wide. With a miserable scream, his body was bent upwards, tense and tense.


    Not long after that, the man suddenly stopped moving. He stayed in the posture of maintaining the bow for a while, and then with a "peng" sound, he fell flat on the ground, breathing heavily with his eyes wide open.


    "He''s alive, he''s alive ¡­"


    "He actually survived!"


    "The dead are really revived!"


    "..."


    Ye Qiao did not care about the noise behind him, he kept all of the needles on the man''s body and stood up to walk into the forest. Everyone then realised that they were calling out for Ye Qiao, but very quickly, Ye Qiao disappeared into the white smoke.


    Watching the Godly Doctor leave without anyone daring to take a step into the forest, everyone stood on the small path for a while, then went back to their own homes. As for the twelve officials sent by the palace, they only dared to return to report when it was dark.


    At night, strong winds blew outside the bamboo house, and the heavy rain was accompanied by flashes of lightning.


    Finally, Ye Qiao dismissed all the people outside the forest who had come to seek medical treatment. Just as he was about to sleep, he heard a knock on the door. The voice was not loud, but it did not seem to have any strength. Ye Qiao knew immediately that it was the wild fox that wanted to hide in his house and take shelter from the rain and thunder. Whenever there was thunder or lightning in the sky, this wild fox would come and beg him to take it.


    This time, Ye Qiao did not plan to bother with the wild fox. He was not a kind-hearted person anyway, what did the death of a wild fox have to do with him, furthermore, even if the wild fox was killed by lightning tonight, he could still save it tomorrow morning using needles anyways.


    In this world, there was no life that he, Ye Qiao, could not save.


    Amidst the waves of knocking on the door, Ye Qiao fell asleep peacefully. Just as he was about to fall asleep, the knocking sound suddenly shook the sky, accompanied by the wild fox''s loud and shrill howls. Ye Qiao was suddenly awakened, and his entire body was covered in cold sweat. Hearing that the main culprit was still outside knocking on the door and howling, Ye Qiao was infuriated. He touched the silver needles under his pillow and got out of bed, preparing to give that wild fox a stab in the head, just in time to finish his sleep.


    However, who would have thought ¡­


    When the door opened, a bolt of lightning struck down onto Ye Qiao''s head.

 C2

    In the hospital of the seaside town, two men hurried upstairs to the senior ward of the ward on the second floor.


    "Ah Jiu, walk slowly. Don''t fall down."


    "No, it can''t be slow. The doctor said that if I saw him doing it in the morning, I would definitely wake up soon. I need to immediately go to the ward to see him."


    "You''re still pregnant ¡­"


    Unable to care about his seven-month-old belly, the man called ''Ah Jiu'' stormed into the ward. The people behind him were afraid that something would happen to him, so they could only follow him quickly.


    When Ah Jiu almost spiral his way into the sickroom, he directly ran to the sickbed without even seeing the doctor, anxiously checking the patient on the bed. When he saw that the patient did not have any reaction, he immediately bent down to lie down beside him and carefully observed, but did not move his finger at all.


    When the man ran in, he saw the Ah Jiu lying on the side of the sickbed, eagerly waiting for the man to wake up, and suddenly felt upset. However, he knew that this was not the time to settle the score due to jealousy, so he endured the jealousy of his wife, who stood beside the Ah Jiu with an ugly expression.


    "Mr. Han." The doctor came over and bowed respectfully to the man.


    From beginning to end, the man''s gaze had always been on Ah Jiu''s hand that was holding the patient''s arm. His face was dark and heavy: "He''s already been lying there for more than half a month, when will he wake up in the end?"


    "The patient is in a very stable condition and should wake up soon. "However ¡­"


    "But what?"


    "His face... I''m afraid it''s ruined. "


    Hearing this, the man was slightly startled, but soon after, he frowned at the doctor. "Why is it so serious?"


    The doctor looked at the person lying on the bed and said in a low voice, "It''s already lucky that he managed to save his life. His entire body is covered with wounds, none of them are good. But now that he has been rescued, his recovery is not bad. It''s just that the wound on his face is too deep.


    The man looked at Ah Jiu who was lying on the side of the sickbed and thought, "Can you bring him back?"


    "With his current physical condition, he won''t be able to undergo such surgery. Maybe after he recovers from two or three years of recuperation, he can give it a try."


    "Two or three years?"


    "This is already the most optimistic estimate."


    The man frowned, he thought for a while, then ordered the doctor: "Don''t mention what you said to Ah Jiu, in case he''s worried."


    "Yes, Mr. Han."


    "You go out first, I''ll stay here with Ah Jiu for a while."


    The doctor bowed and left the room.


    When the doctor left, the man walked up to Ah Jiu and grabbed his shoulder. He whispered to him, "The doctor said that he will wake up in a few days, don''t worry too much."


    Ah Jiu held onto the patient''s hand tightly, looking at his bandaged face, his eyes slowly turned red. "I should have rescued him from jail earlier, and he wouldn''t have suffered such heavy injuries. I should have saved him earlier ¡­"


    "Ah Jiu, this matter can''t be blamed on you, if you have to blame something, you can only blame yourself for being too stupid. Being played around by a woman not only disgraced, but also sent to prison."


    "You''re not allowed to say that about him!"


    "Fine, fine, fine. If I don''t want to talk about him, then don''t feel too sad. Be careful of your body."


    The man did not understand why the Ah Jiu treated this idiot so well. From the moment they met until the moment they got married, this person had always been between him and the Ah Jiu, and the Ah Jiu viewed this person more important than him. If the Ah Jiu did not choose him, he even thought that the two of them were the real couple. But then again, this person was indeed pitiful enough. He had been a famous celebrity for a few years, and because he wanted to marry a woman, he had left the entertainment circle. However, what surprised everyone was that in the end, this person did not get married and was instead framed and sent to jail. If not for Ah Jiu begging him to send someone to the prison to save him, he would have died inside.


    "Go and get him a glass of water. His lips are dry, so I''ll give him a moisten."


    "..." "Right."


    Even though he was extremely unwilling, a man still had to listen to his wife and went to the front to pour hot water in the small living room. However, both he and the Ah Jiu had forgotten one thing, that while they were speaking, the patient''s finger had indeed moved slightly, but one of them could only see his wife, and the other one was staring at the patient''s bandaged face with red eyes. No one had noticed this slight movement.


    "..."


    In the dream, Ye Qiao could hear the incessant clamor of voices.


    "Divine Doctor Ye, the emperor is very ill. He has specially summoned you to the palace to give him acupuncture treatment."


    "Divine Doctor Ye can do anything you want as long as you can cure the emperor ¡­"


    "..."


    The noise was mixed with the Young Villa Master of the Jade Sword Villa and the Prince''s Mansion''s aide ¡­ Originally, they were just talking each other out, but in the end, everyone was talking at the same time, causing Ye Qiao''s head to almost split open.


    Just as Ye Qiao was about to be unable to endure this endless argument, he suddenly felt something moving on his lips, and it continued for a while. Just as this strange feeling was happening, the chaotic noise suddenly started to slowly subside, and in the end, it actually disappeared.


    Soon after, Ye Qiao smelt a pungent yet unpleasant odor, like a medicinal liquid that he had soaked in. However, it was much stronger than the smell, and it stimulated him so much that he was no longer able to sleep.


    "He''s a big star. If he wakes up and finds out that his face is ruined, he definitely won''t be able to take it."


    "The doctor said that after his body recuperates, he can still be operated on and brought back."


    "Can you still change back to your original appearance?"


    "..."


    Who is it?


    Who was it that was talking and making him sleep?


    Could it be that damned wild fox again?!


    "Why is my neck a little dirty?" As Ah Jiu spoke, he suddenly saw that there was a black object on the patient''s neck, so he extended his hand to help him wipe it away, but just as Ah Jiu''s fingers touched his skin, the originally sleeping man suddenly opened his eyes, and grabbed onto Ah Jiu''s hand to help him get up from the bed!


    "D-Lin Zhi?"


    "It''s not that wild fox, just who are you!"


    Ye Qiao grabbed onto Ah Jiu''s wrist and asked coldly!

 C3

    "Lin Zhi, what are you doing?! Let go of Ah Jiu! " The man standing behind Ah Jiu was furious and was about to attack Ye Qiao.


    Ah Jiu blocked the man''s hand that was grabbing Ye Qiao''s arm without thinking, and turned to glare at him with a face full of anger.


    The man was both angry and pained. "Ah Jiu, what are you doing?"


    "You are not allowed to hurt him!"


    "But he''s going to hurt you now."


    "Then you''re still not allowed to touch him!"


    Seeing that his wife was insistent on helping that ungrateful brat, the man had no other choice but to withdraw his hand and stand at the side with an ashen face, staring at Ye Qiao.


    After persuading the man, Ah Jiu turned towards Ye Qiao and smiled, "Lin Zhi, I am Ah Jiu, don''t you recognize me? I am your best friend, Ah Jiu. As for him ¡­ " Ah Jiu pointed to the man: "He is Han Chao, I have married him."


    Ah Jiu?


    Han Chao?


    What the hell was this?


    Ye Qiao did not loosen his grip on Ah Jiu''s wrist, and continued to look at him coldly, with a ''you better explain yourself'' expression, he did not put the angry Han Chao in his eyes at all.


    "Lin Zhi?"


    "¡­"


    "Lin Zhi, what''s wrong with you?" Seeing that Ye Qiao was only staring at him and did not say a word, the Ah Jiu could not help but extend his hand and shake it in front of his eyes. Just as he was about to say something, the strength on his wrist suddenly increased.


    "Lin Zhi!" Seeing that his wife was in so much pain that her face wrinkled, Han Chao could no longer care about what he promised Ah Jiu. Immediately reaching out to grab his arm, he ordered him to let go of Ah Jiu.


    Ah Jiu clenched his teeth in pain, he looked towards Han Chao. "Don''t hurt him ¡­"


    "Ah Jiu!"


    "Jin Jiu." Just as Han Chao affectionately called out the name of the Ah Jiu, Ye Qiao who was being held by him suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was so cold that it made people''s hair stand on end. Even Han Chao who was on the spot was startled upon hearing this, and couldn''t help but to size Ye Qiao up with a strange gaze.


    Ah Jiu was originally in so much pain that cold sweat dripped down his forehead, but when he heard Ye Qiao calling his name, he immediately became happy. "I, I knew you hadn''t forgotten me ¡­"


    Ye Qiao squinted as he stared at the red birthmark that was as big as a jujube in Ah Jiu''s hand, emitting a shocking coldness and danger, "Of course I won''t forget you, every time there''s lightning, didn''t you come looking for me?"


    "Do you still ¡­ still remember the past ¡­"


    "Remember, if it wasn''t for you, a wild fox, how could I have been struck by lightning?"


    "¡ª!"


    Ah Jiu was stunned, he looked blankly at Ye Qiao who was gritting his teeth at him.


    Ye Qiao smiled at him, then used his thumb to press two inches away from Ah Jiu''s wrist. Ah Jiu immediately cried out from the pain, and his entire body fell onto the bed due to the pain.


    When Han Chao saw how ruthless Ye Qiao was, he became anxious and raised his other hand to punch him. But at this time, Ah Jiu shouted for him to not move, Han Chao hesitated, and his fist stopped abruptly in front of Ye Qiao''s bandaged face.


    Ye Qiao''s eyes turned cold, he raised his hand and slapped Han Chao''s lower abdomen.


    However, he didn''t manage to send the man flying more than ten meters away.


    With his palm still pressed against Han Chao''s lower abdomen, Ye Qiao was immediately stunned.

 C4

    "I am Jade Sword Villa''s Young Villa Master, I am here to invite the Divine Doctor to help my father check his pulse."


    "I am Huang Jue, the one who killed the sect master. The sect master''s wife has contracted a strange illness, and all the doctors that have visited the world are helpless. I would like to ask Divine Doctor Ye to treat her.


    "..."


    These words suddenly echoed in Ye Qiao''s ears, causing him to be stunned, even the hand that was holding Ah Jiu loosened. He sat on the sickbed for a while, then slowly spread his hands in front of him. The ten fingers might be long, but they weren''t their original form. In fact, they were slightly different. He was a genius doctor, so he naturally knew how to take care of himself. He never would have let a scar appear on his hands, but now, his hands were riddled with scars and bruises.


    "Lin Zhi, what''s wrong with you?" Ah Jiu did not care about Han Chao stopping him, and walked to the side of the bed and worriedly asked: "Is there something wrong?"


    "What did you call me?" Ye Qiao asked.


    Ah Jiu was startled and replied: "Lin Zhi, it has always been this name, have you forgotten?"


    "Lin Zhi..." Ye Qiao repeated his name. Just when he thought this was strange, he suddenly felt that the clothes worn by the Ah Jiu and Han Chao did not match the clothes of the era he lived in.


    "Lin Zhi?" Ah Jiu called out to him again carefully.


    As he slowly retracted his hand, Ye Qiao suddenly thought of the lightning bolt that struck him from the top of his head before he fainted. When he woke up, it had suddenly become the "Lin Zhi" that they were talking about.


    Putting all his emotions in mind, Ye Qiao did not display too much surprise and panic in front of Ah Jiu and Han Chao. After being silent for a while, he asked Ah Jiu for a mirror. The Ah Jiu did not know this "Lin Zhi" anymore. He was afraid that he would not be able to take it if he saw''s face, so he initially lied that there was no mirror in the sickroom that tried to fool Lin Zhi, but in the end, he could not resist Ye Qiao''s bone-deep gaze and went to the drawer of the cabinet next to the door to get a mirror for him.


    Ye Qiao held the shiny mirror. No matter how he looked at it, it did not look like a normal copper mirror, but this thing could clearly reflect everything around it, including his current face.


    Except for a pair of eyes, the rest was covered with layers of white cloth.


    This scene was very familiar. Ye Qiao had once treated a woman whose entire face had been destroyed, and the treatment process was also similar to what he did now.


    Therefore, Ye Qiao was very sure that he had been disfigured.


    He was in an unknown place, yet inexplicably, he became friends with two strange men. His appearance was now ruined and his body was covered with wounds ¡­ But that was not the point.


    The most important thing was his inner strength that was incomparable to anyone else in the world ¡ª


    Gone.

 C5

    After continuously urging for seventy seven to forty-nine times, Ye Qiao finally accepted the fact that he no longer had the slightest bit of internal energy, and in the process, Ah Jiu nagged him about changing from wearing open crotch pants to bathing in the same pool for twenty-five years. Even if Ye Qiao didn''t want to hear it, he was forced to accept some memories about the original owner of this body.


    Other than his good looks, there was nothing good about Lin Zhi.


    He was simply an idiot.


    In the next few days, Ye Qiao stayed in this room that was called the sickroom. Although the Ah Jiu was long-winded and sticky, in the end, he was still very good to Lin Zhi. Ah Jiu said that he had gone to work. According to Ye Qiao''s current understanding of the environment he was in, Han Chao was going to work as a laborer to earn money, but why was he always wearing such bright and beautiful clothes, it should be somewhere similar to the Gou Ward ¡­


    It was to the point that every time Han Chao entered the room in the first few days, he was sized up by a peculiar gaze from Ye Qiao.


    Perhaps it was due to this body''s instinct that Ye Qiao adapted to the surroundings very quickly. The person who treated the patient here was not a doctor, but a doctor; the communication tool was not a carrier pigeon, but something called a ''mobile phone''. The more Ye Qiao listened, the more he listened. Although he had an embarrassing experience when he tried to escape using the elevator door to escape, Ye Qiao had to admit that the people in this place were much smarter compared to the people of his era.


    Of course, the Ah Jiu was an exception.


    The original name of Ah Jiu was'' Jin Jiu ''. According to him, he grew up together with Lin Zhi, who was the original owner of this body.


    Person.


    However, Ye Qiao was very clear about his background. Although he had already been reborn into an adult in this life, the name Ah Jiu, and that red birthmark that was as big as a jujube core in Ah Jiu''s palm proved that the Ah Jiu was a wild fox that caused him to be struck by lightning the moment he stepped out of the door. Furthermore, the name of the Ah Jiu was something that he had thought of on a whim, even according to them, it was already the 21st century, but the Ah Jiu was still the wild fox in his eyes.


    Previously, whenever Ye Qiao saw Ah Jiu swaying in front of him, he would have the urge to slash at him to death, but he lost all his internal energy and his body became extremely weak. Ye Qiao was afraid that he wouldn''t succeed and would instead die because of this wild fox that had reincarnated into his body. Later, when Ye Qiao saw that he was busy doing all sorts of things for him with his big belly, he suddenly thought it through. Presumably, even the heavens thought that this wild fox owed him in his previous life, so in this life, he was allowed to atone for his sins.


    Thinking about it this way, Ye Qiao accepted the Ah Jiu''s care with peace of mind.


    "I want grapes."


    "Alright, I''ll peel it for you."


    "Suddenly, I don''t want to eat anymore. Go get an apple."


    "Apple? "Alright, alright, alright. I''ll cut it for you right away."


    "You just can''t eat it. Pour me a cup of water."


    "I''ll go and get it for you."


    "..."


    Ye Qiao, whose face was wrapped in bandages, was lying down on the bed. While ordering the Ah Jiu to be busy, he observed his round and protruding stomach with interest. When the Ah Jiu brought the water over, Ye Qiao grabbed his wrist and dragged him in front of himself.


    I''m sorry Lin Zhi, were you burned? The Ah Jiu was a little crude, but only towards Lin Zhi, which was the current Ye Qiao, he would still appear to be clumsy. If he were to face Han Chao and the doctors, each of them would not even be able to utter a few words under his nose, and their tempers were so explosive that it would cause others to halt their steps, only Han Chao could endure it, and was willing to accept it.


    Ye Qiao did not let go of him, nor did he care if he was being scalded by boiling water, his entire attention was focused on the round belly of the Ah Jiu, he might have even heard of this man having a baby in October, but he had only heard of it in the end. Even the famous genius doctor in this world had never seen such a thing, he never would have thought that he would accidentally come to this damned place and see him in person instead.


    He touched Ah Jiu''s belly and could still feel the movement inside.


    "You must have had this stomach for seven months now, right?"


    "Lin Zhi, how did you guess it? I was pregnant when I was travelling abroad with Han Chao. I wanted to call you immediately to tell you the good news, but at that time you were too busy to contact the agency. I wanted to tell you later that you ¡­ "


    The Ah Jiu suddenly closed his mouth, he did not dare continue speaking.


    Seeing that he had finished speaking, Ye Qiao only guessed what happened next. It seemed like when Ah Jiu wanted to tell Lin Zhi, Lin Zhi had been framed and turned into a murderer, he was sent to prison. He did not mention it himself, and did not allow Han Chao to mention it in front of Ye Qiao. Sometimes, Han Chao would not bear to see Ye Qiao order around the Ah Jiu, so he would intentionally say a few words, but he was scolded back by the Ah Jiu. knew about everything that he should know, and when was still unconscious, the two of them could hear him talking by his bedside.


    Lin Zhi used to be a Heavenly King''s Great Star, he was popular for a while, but in order to marry a woman, he had to break off his engagement with a brokerage firm. In the end, the marriage didn''t work, and he was thrown into jail as a murderer ¡­


    Ye Qiao thought that not only was this Lin Zhi an idiot, he was also an idiot. He actually tied his future to a woman?


    "Don''t think about the past anymore. When you get better, Han Chao and I will support you to go back and take revenge. We will let that woman live a miserable life!" Seeing that Ye Qiao did not say anything, the Ah Jiu immediately scolded to vent his anger.


    Ye Qiao immediately lost interest in studying the Ah Jiu''s stomach, he pushed him away and laid him back on the bed: "If you really want me to go back and take revenge one day, then help me do something, as long as this matter is done, nothing will be a problem."


    When the Ah Jiu heard that Ye Qiao was finally taking this matter seriously, he was more happy than anyone else. Without saying anything further, he nodded and agreed, "Lin Zhi, you can say whatever it is, as long as you can make the woman who harmed you feel bad, I can do whatever you want!"


    Ye Qiao rolled his eyes at Ah Jiu. Was this hatred his, or his? Why was he so excited?


    "Lin Zhi, quickly tell me, what do you want me to do?" The Ah Jiu said excitedly.


    "Go and help me collect a few herbs, which is to go to your Chinese medicine store. As for the prescription, I''ll tell you, remember, don''t leave it out."


    "Good, good, good. Tell me."


    Seeing that Ah Jiu took out his phone and started recording, Ye Qiao was really worried for his intelligence. There were only a few names of the medicinal herbs left and right, but he actually could not remember anything about them.

 C6

    When Ah Jiu asked Ah Jiu and the doctor about it, Ye Qiao only used the time to explain. When night came, Ye Qiao used the time no one to test the effects of the medicinal paste on his own body, and the first thing that came as a test subject was his left hand, which was almost cut off.


    If the wound was a little shallow, it would only need three or four days to heal and form a scab, and once the scab automatically peeled off, it would recover completely. But if the wound was deeper, then not only would the healing time be longer, it would also leave behind scars in the future, so Ye Qiao decided to go the other way, no matter how deep the wound was, using the sharp tip of his blade to shave off the flesh around the wound and then applying the self-made ointment. After a few days, the wound would automatically heal, and there would not be any scar left behind.


    This was also the reason why he chose to treat himself at night. He was afraid that the situation would be too bloody, and that the Ah Jiu and the doctors would think that he was doing something to end his own life, preventing him from treating his own injuries.


    After removing the rotten flesh around the wound on his left wrist, Ye Qiao used a self-made ointment and applied it continuously for a few nights. Although the ointment was not matched with a silver needle to puncture the acupoints due to the conditions, the wound healed quickly, which also proved that the traditional Chinese medicine stores of this era were reliable.


    Ye Qiao also applied the ointment on the other wounds that were slowly healing, the areas that were festering and festering started to heal, the areas that had originally been scabs also fell off, and the scars on his body had also dimmed down, some even disappeared.


    With these significant results, Ye Qiao began to make his own cuts on his face. Of course, he had also made sufficient preparations beforehand, using the excuse of revenge to trick the Ah Jiu to get him a set of tools used by doctors. Then, he used anesthetic drugs, bandages and candles. Borrowing the help of Lin Zhi''s body, Ye Qiao revived after staying in this unfamiliar world for less than half a month, so he was not very familiar with the use of some things. However, since he could become a genius doctor in the dynasty without any high-tech equipment, it would not be difficult to cut off his bones and shape his appearance.


    After fixing his face, Ye Qiao lived a peaceful life. Although Ah Jiu would sometimes view his skinny and remodelled face as skinny, he did not pursue this topic too deeply. Instead, he made Han Chao run and run around everyday to buy various health products for him.


    Ye Qiao had cut his own face, of course he knew that it was impossible for his face to return to normal. However, he did not tell Ah Jiu, but just laid on the bed and enjoyed the care of the Ah Jiu''s good fish and meat, doing nothing at all.


    Anyway, if it wasn''t for him, he wouldn''t have come to this damn place to suffer.


    The Ah Jiu treated the original body''s owner, Lin Zhi, very well. Not only did he keep busily waiting on him, he even treated his own husband as a errand boy, ordering him to buy money for Ye Qiao every single day. What was even more exaggerated was that the Ah Jiu even used Han Chao''s name to get a bank card for Ye Qiao, saving a million yuan for him to use as pocket money, making it easier for Ye Qiao to buy things online. However, Ye Qiao was not too familiar with computers and the internet for the time being, so he decided to keep the card first.


    In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiao had been staying in the hospital for another two months, and during the day, he was treated with all kinds of nourishment by the Ah Jiu. At night, he removed the bandages on his face to check his condition, and when Ye Qiao''s face returned, the health care products and the bank card that he bought with him had completely disappeared from the hospital.

    had owned a house before his accident, and it was a villa located in the luxurious area east of Ye City. The property registration was under the name of Lin Zhi''s ex-girlfriend, which meant that the woman who framed him for killing and imprisoned him was inside the house that Lin Zhi bought, so other than Lin Zhi, no one knew that the house was under that woman''s name. However, on the way to the hospital, they encountered a series of car accidents, causing the ambulance that Lin Zhi was in to explode and fall into the river. Even now, the police were unable to find him.


    The owner''s life and death was unknown, and according to the law, the owner''s whereabouts were unknown, and only those who had been dead for two years from the date of the accident would be considered as having died, thus Lin Zhi''s house had not been notified to the female owner, it was temporarily empty, even the Ah Jiu did not know of this place. After Ye Qiao left the hospital without saying anything, the memories of the original owner Lin Zhi would appear in his mind from time to time. The experiences of growing up, and how hard it was for him to become a Heavenly King''s Giant Star after growing up ¡­ They followed closely after Ye Qiao''s recovery.


    In his heart, he had long believed that Lin Zhi was an embroidered pillow with only his outer appearance, that he had finally become a Heavenly King''s Giant Star. He had even ruined his future for a woman, and had even lost his life, but afterwards, after living in Ye City for a period of time, he gradually realized that Lin Zhi''s memories had helped him quite a bit. Other than allowing him to temporarily settle down in a villa, he could also quickly adapt to this era''s life.


    However, the only thing that made Ye Qiao uncomfortable was that he did not have a local account and identity card, which was a so-called black shop in a city.


    Unknowingly, Ye Qiao had also stayed in the Ye City for more than three months. The injuries on his face and body had completely recovered, and his skin was even whiter and smoother than when Lin Zhi first had this body. As for Ye Qiao''s face, it was originally made using his previous appearance, so other than Lin Zhi''s memories, the rest had already become Ye Qiao. As a matter of fact, as Lin Zhi''s memories recovered day by day, Ye Qiao finally knew that Lin Zhi had truly died, and died in that car crash. This was also the reason why he was able to enter this body.


    "Zizi ~ ~"


    Just as Ye Qiao was sitting on the balcony thinking about things, the phone on the table suddenly rang. He had bought this one a month ago, and there was only one number stored inside, Central District Renhe Chinese Medicine Shop.


    Ye Qiao pressed the answer button, and sat in the rattan chair with a cup in his hands, listening to the call.


    "Is it Mr Ye?" When the call connected, the voice that came through the speaker was an old man, but it was not a voice filled with spirit, it was the owner of any Chinese medicine store, Liu Tong.


    "I am." Ye Qiao said indifferently.


    "You have previously ordered a set of acupuncture tools from my shop. Since they are here today, are you coming to retrieve them? Of course, you can tell me the address and I will send the staff to deliver them to you."


    "No need, I''ll go get it now."


    [Alright, I''ll wait for you.]


    After hanging up, Ye Qiao sat in the rattan chair with a cup and drank for a while. When it was almost time, he stood up and went downstairs, preparing to go to any medicine store in the city center to retrieve their tools.

    Lu¡¯s Group.


    "Director Qiu, please wait here for a moment. I will go inside to notify President Lu." The secretary blocked the director and his assistant, who were talking about investment in movies, from the door. He bent over the two of them with a stern expression, locked the door through the inlaid fingerprints on the wall, and waited for them to enter before the automatic door closed quickly.


    The assistant scratched his head, then went closer to the lock and examined it carefully: "Director Qiu, this door is too difficult to enter, to actually require you to enter a fingerprint verification before you can enter, you don''t find it too troublesome."


    "I don''t even feel like it''s troublesome. You should complain first."


    "How would I dare? If I offend the investors, I won''t be able to make a movie."


    "Kid, you have quite a brain."


    "Speaking of which, I can''t compare to you, Director Qiu. Not only do you know how to make movies, you also know these investors.


    "What are you playing at, do you even know how to speak properly?"


    The man who was called ''Director Qiu'' picked up a thick stack of documents and was about to knock the assistant''s head. The assistant dodged and smiled as he stood to the side and raised his hands as if he was surrendering.


    The two of them waited at the door for a long time, but no one came out, even the secretary who just went in did not make a sound, the assistant could not stand anymore, and went to the man''s side and whispered: "Director Qiu, do you think that this investment plan will work?


    The original name of Director Qiu was Qiu Xiangyang, who was a young director with a bit of a reputation. He had previously made a few small films and with "My Father", he had obtained the best movie award for the Chinese movie ceremony. He thought that with a reputation and an award, he would be able to take on a few big movies, but Qiu Xiangyang started his career from scratch. He didn''t have a backer or any big investor to support him, so he didn''t have a movie to shoot after he won the award. There were rumors in the industry that Qiu Xiangyang had been pushed aside by the big directors of the circle. The big directors had resources and connections, so no matter how capable Qiu Xiangyang was, no matter how much of a movie he produced, no one was willing to cooperate with him. There were even some famous actors who went silent when they heard that Qiu Xiangyang was directing a movie, and no one dared to accept it.


    A while ago, Qiu Xiangyang got a good script, he personally came to request for a writer''s authorization for a few months, but the author also said that the novel could be adapted into a movie, but he had to find someone who was willing to invest in the movie first, otherwise, it would be impossible to talk about it. had already wandered around in front of all the small and large investors, and no one was willing to invest in his movie.


    Lu¡¯s Group.


    As for the right to decide the business and management of Lu¡¯s Group, it was currently all in the hands of the old CEO''s eldest son, Lu Jinghuan, so the person Qiu Xiangyang requested for was also Lu Jinghuan. However, they had heard and understood Lu Jinghuan before they had come, all the major newspapers, newspapers and news media all recognized him as a talented young man in the financial industry, not only did he look like a genius, he was also one of the top businessmen. Hence, the old CEO had given him all the decision-making authority in the company two years ago, even though he looked like he was the managing director, but what he exercised was the CEO''s authority, so this Lu¡¯s Group was actually already under Lu Jinghuan''s control.


    However, a talented young man like Lu Jinghuan, who was able to hold onto power at such a young age and criticize the business world, was often more difficult to say than those investors who had decades of experience in it. This Lu Jinghuan did not get along well, and did not provoke the media, making it difficult for even an outsider to even see him, let alone talk about investing in him. However, Lu Jinghuan had a very unique eye. Although the movies that he invested in only one or two of them a year, and sometimes even one for two or three years, the movies that he invested in all became very popular without exception, and all of the movies that he invested in became extremely popular, all of the movies that he invested in became extremely popular, and all of the movies that he invested in even more of getting countless of awards. So, the current film directors and producers all cooperated with Lu¡¯s Group as their first choice.


    Over the past few years, the investments made by Lu¡¯s Group became an important indicator for the film industry to measure the quality of the film and the director''s future.


    As for why Lu Jinghuan had chosen him to come over to meet his, Qiu Xiangyang still could not figure out. Perhaps it was because of his talent, or perhaps it was due to the script, but no matter what, as long as he had the chance to obtain the Lu¡¯s Group and invest into the movie, Qiu Xiangyang would be able to continue filming it. So to speak of his current mood, perhaps there was no one who was more nervous and apprehensive than him.


    After waiting at the door for around an hour, the expressionless secretary finally came out, nodding towards Qiu Xiangyang and his assistant respectively, inviting them in.


    Qiu Xiangyang carried the script and entered the door. The assistant wanted to follow, but was stopped by the secretary before he could even step into the door.


    "I''m very sorry, President Lu only said that he wanted to see Director Qiu alone."


    "But Director Qiu and I came together ¡­"


    "That won''t do."


    The assistant looked at Qiu Xiangyang for help.


    Qiu Xiangyang had been in this circle for so many years, he naturally knew how to read the situation. Seeing that the secretary had an expression of hesitation, he helplessly waved at the assistant: "Wait for me at the door, after I''m done with the President Lu, I''ll come out."


    "Director Qiu ¡­" The assistant wanted to go in, but the secretary stood in front of him blocking, so the assistant had no choice but to pass the documents in his hands to Qiu Xiangyang: "Then I''ll wait outside for you to come out."


    Qiu Xiangyang accepted the documents and followed the secretary into Lu Jinghuan''s office.

 C9

    It was different from what he imagined, Qiu Xiangyang initially thought that Lu Jinghuan''s office decoration would be even more complicated and high-end than the fingerprint lock outside, but after entering, he realized that it could be described as'' empty ''. Other than the office supplies and light fixtures, the only other things that came out were the tea set and sofa in the small living room, but they seemed to be quite expensive, and it was not something that a poor director like him could afford.


    Looking ahead, he saw a young man in a suit who was busy working on a document. Qiu Xiangyang thought that this man must be the rumored investment genius, the President Lu Manager.


    Following the secretary to the desk, the secretary gave a brief introduction to both of them. Lu Jinghuan did not speak, and maintained the posture of lowering his head and handling documents, not intending to greet Qiu Xiangyang either.


    Qiu Xiangyang felt embarrassed, but still handed over the huge stack of documents in his hands.


    "President Lu, this is the script. The filming crew''s preparation, organization and other related information, as well as the calculation of production costs, film production, and promotions ¡­"


    "Director Qiu plans on letting me finish reading the entire stack of documents?"


    The voice came out from the man''s mouth, carrying the dignity and calmness unique to a leader, causing Qiu Xiangyang, who was two years older than him, to be stunned. After staring blankly for a long while, he suddenly regained his senses, then took back the documents from the desk and stuttered: "Then I''ll briefly explain it to President Lu, there''s something ¡­"


    "Ten minutes."


    "What?"


    "I''ll give you ten minutes to introduce your thoughts. If you don''t have enough time, get out of here."


    Qiu Xiangyang was startled, he knew Lu Jinghuan had a big temper, but he never expected that it would be so big that he would not give anyone any face. If it was before, Qiu Xiangyang would have turned his head and left, but after experiencing several months of continuous barrage, he was already at his wit''s end. If he could not obtain the investment from Lu¡¯s Group this time, he was afraid that he would have to bid his farewell to this industry.


    After thinking for a moment, Qiu Xiangyang opened his mouth: "This time''s script will focus on a topic that is currently being paid most attention to, that is ¡­"


    "Eight minutes left."


    "¡­"


    "Director Qiu is wasting its time like this, I can''t even get the important points out, why should I invest in your movie?" Lu Jinghuan raised his head from the pile of documents, his sharp eyes looking straight at Qiu Xiangyang who was holding onto the documents.


    should have been angered by Lu Jinghuan''s rudeness, but when Lu Jinghuan raised his head, he was shocked. The outside world said that Lu Jinghuan''s looks were not bad, but now he had personally witnessed it, how could he say that ''not bad'' in general, that his looks were not any worse than those popular male actors in the acting world. In addition to the mature and steady state that he had accumulated over all these years of fighting in the market, it was simply impossible for too many famous male actors to compare to him.


    Narrowing his black eyes, Lu Jinghuan lowered his head and glanced at his watch: "You wasted another one minute and six seconds, so you don''t have much time left."


    immediately woke up when he heard Lu Jinghuan''s words, and quickly explained to him his thoughts of making a movie, the social phenomena that would be exposed if he were to make a movie, as well as the things that would cause people to think deeply about it. After he finished speaking, ten minutes had not passed, but Lu Jinghuan did not express any opinion.


    He was silent.


    This caused Qiu Xiangyang to feel even more uneasy.


    "President Lu, the time for you and the boss to get the medicine has come, do you want to go now?" At this time, the secretary''s words broke the awkward atmosphere, but it was not for Qiu Xiangyang, but for a suggestion that did not fit the current topic at hand.


    Hearing that, Lu Jinghuan raised his head, and after pondering for a few seconds, he turned his attention to Qiu Xiangyang: "Does Director Qiu have time?"


    "Yes yes yes, does President Lu want me to explain in detail ¡­"


    "Go to Ren He Chinese Medicine Shop for me and tell the owner that I asked you to go there. He''ll pass the medicine to you."


    "Medicine?" Qiu Xiangyang was stunned by his words. He looked at the secretary standing by the side, then looked at Lu Jinghuan.

 C10

    "The Mr Ye is here?"


    "I have an appointment with the Elder Liu board, come and get the needle."


    "Please wait for a moment, I will go inform the Elder Liu."


    Ye Qiao nodded his head, and casually walked around the counter. After all, this was the only place that he had found that suited him after walking around the city for half a month, there were many different types of Chinese medicine, and the employees here all had a certain understanding of Chinese medicine''s physiotherapy.


    However, the real reason why Ye Qiao chose this place was not because of the medicine or the shop assistant, but rather because of the owner, Liu Tong.


    Liu Tong was currently in his sixties. He had been an old Chinese medical student for over fifty years, starting from the age of eight. He had been dealing with Chinese medicine for over a decade, so he was naturally well-versed in it. Ye Qiao had estimated that from his generation to the current Liu Tong, he should be on par with the royal doctors in the palace, thus Ye Qiao had thought highly of Liu Tong and would often come over to discuss Chinese medicine and physical therapy with him.


    As for Liu Tong, his knowledge of Chinese medicine and physical therapy was famous both in and outside the country. There were many people who came to look for him for acupuncture treatment, but ever since Liu Tong had met him half a month ago, they had all respectfully addressed him as'' Mr Ye ''.


    When Ye Qiao was looking at the medicine in the counter, a middle-aged man beside him shouted at the shop assistant, saying that he could not find the owner of the shop Liu Tong even after a few times. The shop assistant explained that the owner was already old and rarely saw any patients, but the man refused to listen, insisting that Liu Tong should come out and take care of him. The shop assistant was afraid that his noise would affect the store''s business, so he took out a pen to record down the illness for him. When Liu Tong had time, he would bring it in for him to see, and with that, he could finally extinguish that person''s anger.


    "Did you go to the hospital to check?"


    "I checked it out, but it''s just that my stomach often hurts, so it won''t be good if I take the medicine given by the hospital. That''s why I came to look for Elder Liu. Who knew that I would run over so many times ¡­"


    "What are the symptoms? How long has it been painful?"


    The shop assistant was afraid that he would go on talking endlessly, so he quickly asked the rest of the questions, and the man immediately stopped talking, standing in front of the counter and thinking for a long time before answering the shop assistant''s question, but in the end, it was just useless words, asking him which part of his body hurt, saying that his stomach hurt, making him point it out, and then again saying that it didn''t hurt anymore, in the end even the shop assistant couldn''t help asking if he was here to cause trouble, the man immediately shouted again, and began scolding the shop assistant in a loud voice, saying that the shop assistant looked down at people, didn''t know what ''customer'' God ''and so on.


    The clerk apologized, but the man still insisted on arguing, scaring away the rest of the people who came to buy medicine.


    Ye Qiao heard the commotion, picked up one of the needles that the shop assistant was wearing, and without saying a word, stabbed it into the man''s head. The man opened his mouth, but was immediately speechless.


    Even if Liu Tong were to personally come out, he would not believe that this kind of method existed. Therefore, when the shop assistant saw that Ye Qiao could not even speak, he was immediately scared silly, and quickly ran in to shout for Liu Tong, afraid that there would be deaths in the shop if he was late.


    The man shouted loudly with his mouth wide open, but he could not make a single sound, and in his fury, he was about to punch Ye Qiao. Ye Qiao did not dodge, and instead, picked a silver needle that was thicker than the previous one and waved it in front of him, causing the man to immediately not dare move.


    "You''re too noisy." Ye Qiao said calmly.


    The man couldn''t speak, but he was scared. He pointed to his mouth and waved his hand, indicating that he wouldn''t make any more noise.


    Ye Qiao''s eyes swept across him, he raised his hand and pulled out the silver needles that had pierced into his head, causing the man to let out an ''Ah!'' sound, but he suddenly thought of something, and quickly covered his mouth, not daring to make another sound.


    Qiu Xiangyang, who came in from outside the shop, saw all of this. Although he was thinking that these two were just playing around, one of them had caught his attention ¡ª ¡ª


    He looked just too imposing.


    "Other than a stomachache, what else do you feel uncomfortable about?" Ye Qiao kept the silver needles and wiped them with a tissue before putting them back on the side.


    That person thought for a moment, then released his hand and quietly replied, "He often has diarrhea, and sometimes he can''t even breathe when it hurts."


    Ye Qiao glanced at the man, then took the pen on the counter and wrote a few lines of words on a piece of paper before handing it to him: "Follow my writing, find a Chinese doctor who understands acupuncture, your disease will be cured soon."


    "You don''t need to find Elder Liu?"


    "Anywhere is fine, but it has to be a Chinese doctor who understands this aspect. If you find a quack doctor, you will be stabbed to death."


    "I can tell that you''re pretty amazing. Just now, you ¡­" How about you tie it up for me? "


    "I don''t have a license to give people needles."


    "That''s right. It''s better to be a bit more careful with my life. Then, I''ll take this paper and find a doctor to give me a needle."


    Ye Qiao nodded and did not say a word.


    The man thanked profusely and took the list. When the clerk called Liu Tong out, he had already left.


    "Hey, where did this person go?" and you were clearly making a ruckus here just a moment ago, was caused by the Mr Ye ¡­ "


    "That''s enough, we''re always making a fuss over nothing. What can happen to Mr Ye?"


    "Elder Liu, what I said was all true. Mr Ye just stabbed him with a needle and that person could no longer speak ¡­"


    "What nonsense is this?"


    "Elder Liu ¡­"


    Liu Tong lowered his head towards Ye Qiao, and gave the cloth bag in his hand to Ye Qiao: "Mr Ye, this is the needle tool that you asked me to order last time, I''ve checked it, it''s all here, not a single bag is missing."


    Ye Qiao reached out to take it. "How much is it?"


    "Mr Ye has taught me quite a lot, so I won''t take the money. From now on, you can come over and tell me about knowledge, and I''ll have to learn from you about that."


    "I''ll come over when I have time, but I still need to collect the money."


    After Ye Qiao released the cloth bag to check the set of silver needles on it, he handed the bank card that Ah Jiu had previously given him to the shop assistant. The shop assistant did not dare to pick it up. Liu Tong laughed, and accepted Ye Qiao''s bank card with both of his hands, and handed it over to the shop assistant: "Go."


    Only then did the sales clerk accept the bank card and went to pay for Ye Qiao.


    When he finished typing in the password and paid the money, Ye Qiao took the needles and utensils and left the shop.


    "Was that injection of yours real or fake?" Qiu Xiangyang stood at the door and asked Ye Qiao who was walking over.


    Ye Qiao stopped in his tracks, raised his head and glanced at Qiu Xiangyang.


    It was only now that Qiu Xiangyang could clearly see Ye Qiao''s appearance, and he was one of the best in the entertainment circle. Although this person looked a bit feminine, he did not have a hint of femininity. Instead, he had a kind of indescribable sharpness and arrogance, just like the male lead of this movie that fit him.


    There weren''t any celebrities in the industry who were willing to accept him for a movie. What if they could recruit him?


    Thinking about it, Qiu Xiangyang could not help but be determined to be friends with Ye Qiao. He smiled and walked over to Ye Qiao and extended his hand out: "Hello, my name is Qiu Xiangyang, I''m a film director."


    Ye Qiao swept his eyes across Qiu Xiangyang''s hand, but did not say a word.


    Qiu Xiangyang suddenly felt a little awkward, and smiled as he introduced himself again: "Hello, my name is..."


    "Qiu Xiangyang."


    "That''s right, that''s right. I''ve already remembered it!"


    "You''re a pain in the ass when you laugh."


    "¡­"


    The smile on Qiu Xiangyang''s face froze.


    Without saying a word, Ye Qiao walked over to Qiu Xiangyang''s side and took a taxi. Qiu Xiangyang waved his hand in embarrassment and disappeared from''s sight.


    "Is this customer here to catch some medicine?"


    "Huh?"


    "Are you here to capture the medicine?"


    Liu Tong asked politely again.


    It was only then that Qiu Xiangyang remembered his purpose for coming here, and quickly replied: "I''m here to get the medicine for President Lu."


    "So it was President Lu who asked you to come over. Please wait for a moment, I will go get the medicine for you."


    "Sigh, I have something to ask you first."


    "Please speak."


    "It''s that young man who just went out. Who is he?"


    "Are you talking about Mr Ye Ye Qiao?"


    His name is Ye Qiao?


    Qiu Xiangyang turned his head and looked towards the direction that Ye Qiao drove off to. He thought that if he could poach Ye Qiao here to be the male lead in his movie, then he would have an even better bargaining chip with Lu Jinghuan.

 C11 Impassioned

    As Qiu Xiangyang was carrying the big bag of herbs back to the Lu¡¯s Group, he coincidentally saw Lu Jinghuan bringing his secretary out to the car. Qiu Xiangyang immediately ran over and knocked on the car window.


    "President Lu, I have brought the medicine back for you."


    "Give it to Hee Mu."


    "What about the investment case?"


    Lu Jinghuan turned his head to look at Qiu Xiangyang. The sharp gaze made Qiu Xiangyang feel a little weak, but he was two years older than his. Qiu Xiangyang coughed dryly to clear his throat, and unconsciously straightened his back, smiling calmly at Lu Jinghuan who was sitting in the carriage.


    And then it didn''t matter.


    "Putting aside the script, do you have the qualifications for me to invest in a movie just based on that little movie of yours that won the award?" Lu Jinghuan stared at Qiu Xiangyang expressionlessly. That look in his eyes made everyone feel ashamed in front of him, "Or do you think that you can earn money by using unorthodox methods?"


    Being criticized like that, even if Qiu Xiangyang had a very good temper, he would not be able to endure it any longer. He held his head up and argued: "Could it be that those movies that are heavily commercialized are only movies, and those that expose the true nature and phenomena of society can''t even be considered movies? Filming movies is an interest, a hobby, a pursuit of art, and not something that can be measured with money.


    Assistant Hee Mu, who was standing by the side, immediately extended his hand to stop Qiu Xiangyang who was extremely emotional.


    "It''s said that the General Manager of Lu¡¯s Group has the most discerning eyes, and the movies that he invests in can also always fit the reality of society, but now it seems that I''m not much different from those merchants who only know how to make money but not understand art!"


    "Director Qiu, pay attention to the way you speak to President Lu."


    "The tone? My tone is still not polite?! " Qiu Xiangyang, who had been eating his fill of dirt off the walls for the past few months, could no longer hold it in and completely vented all the anger in his heart. In any case, the movie had already failed, so why would he be so polite to those blind businessmen: "This morning, your secretary called me to discuss the investment case, and I didn''t dare to delay and ran over. I stood outside your office for an hour, not saying anything, and I even had to run around to buy medicine for you.


    "I''m also a businessman." Then, suddenly, just as Qiu Xiangyang was about to vent his pain all at once, Lu Jinghuan''s voice suddenly interrupted his impassioned tone. Qiu Xiangyang kept his voice down too quickly, and accidentally choked on his saliva, causing his to immediately blush and not dare to make a sound.


    Lu Jinghuan handed over a name card from the car window. His face was still as calm as ever, "The other actors will reject your acting skills, this is the art that you are currently pursuing."


    With his current situation exposed, Qiu Xiangyang looked at Lu Jinghuan and did not say a word.


    "Talk to me about the investment case when you find someone who''s willing to take your part." Lu Jinghuan retracted his gaze, and stuck the name card in the window: "If you can''t find it, then don''t ever appear in front of me again.


    Hee Mu walked over and took the bag of traditional Chinese medicine that Qiu Xiangyang was carrying, then opened the door and sat on the copilot''s seat.


    Qiu Xiangyang stood at the side foolishly for a while, when the car was about to drive away, he suddenly remembered about the name card, so he hurriedly rushed over and took advantage of the moment the car was about to drive out to take his name card away.


    Very quickly, the car Lu Jinghuan was riding on disappeared from the entrance of the company building.


    The one who was going to take part?


    Qiu Xiangyang stood at the entrance of the company and pondered for a long time as he watched Lu Jinghuan leave. In the end, he slapped his thigh and decided on, that Ye Qiao!

 C12 Memory Reappearance

    Another half a month had passed, and during this half a month, the number of times Ye Qiao had dreamed about Lin Zhi had increased. Some memories regarding Lin Zhi had also become more and more complete, some happy, and some suffering. Along with the clear memories, Ye Qiao had woke up many times from his nightmare and when he woke up, his pajamas would usually be drenched in cold sweat.


    In order to avoid being tormented by the nightmare and the pain from Lin Zhi, Ye Qiao had especially given himself a few needles before going to bed. This way, he could have a good sleep, but in the middle of the night, those memories once again uncontrollably flooded into Ye Qiao''s brain.


    "Lin Zhi, have you gone mad? You are currently in the midst of advancing your career, and you actually want to leave the showbiz and go marry someone?"


    "Ping-ge, I''ve already thought this through clearly, I''ve been together with Wangye for more than five years. In this past five years, in order to not disappoint my fans, I''ve been avoiding her relationship with Wangzi. She''s suffered too much harm, I want to marry her and be with her in name."


    "If you can even abandon your own career for her, why can''t she wait for you for another two years? As long as you enter the international film industry for two years, and stand at the peak of this world, you can even have children, let alone marry her! "


    "But I don''t want her to wait any longer. I want to marry her now."


    "Crazy, Lin Zhi, you''re crazy!"


    "..."


    In the dream, Lin Zhi was arguing with another man, they were arguing very fiercely, when Lin Zhi dragged his luggage out the door and directly got into a car to look for Cheng Wen hazel, and in the car, Lin Zhi received a call from Cheng Wen hazel, saying that something had happened and had him rush over to the hotel to save her.


    Without saying a word, Lin Zhi made the driver turn around and drive to the hotel Cheng Wen hazel talked about. After entering the room for half a day, they finally found Cheng Wen Huang in the bedroom. She sat down on the bed in a daze, with blood stained ashtray in her hands.


    Seeing Lin Zhi, Cheng Wen Ye immediately crawled up from the ground and threw himself into Lin Zhi''s embrace, he was crying until he could no longer breathe.


    Lin Zhi consoled her continuously, and when Cheng Wen hazel finally calmed down, Lin Zhi asked her about the entire sequence of events. Cheng Wen hazel told him that the customer wanted to molest her, and she accidentally killed someone else while struggling. After that, she kept asking Lin Zhi what she was going to do while crying. Lin Zhi also lost his idea. He was just killing someone, he was not joking, he saw the customer''s corpse lying in a pool of blood and started to panic.


    "Nightingale, why don''t we call the police? You''re trying to kill someone in self-defense, even if it means going to the court ¡­"


    "No, I can''t call the police. I don''t want to go to jail."


    "But now that it''s happened, the police will find out sooner or later."


    "I don''t want to go to jail, I don''t want to go to jail ¡­" Cheng Wen hazel cried in panic as she hugged Lin Zhi, but after crying for a while, she got up from Lin Zhi''s embrace again. She wiped her tears away, then grabbed onto Lin Zhi''s arm and pleaded: "Lin Zhi, why don''t you tell me that you killed him, help me, help me ¡­ ¡­ I really don''t want to go to jail ¡­ ¡­."


    "You?"


    "If you really want me to go to jail, I might as well die right now!"


    After Cheng Wen Ming said this, he ran to the table in the living room and stabbed a fruit knife into''s body. Lin Zhi immediately grabbed the fruit knife in her hand and dragged her to the side, "Cheng Wen Huang, calm down!"


    "I can''t calm down!" "I don''t want to go to jail, I really don''t want to go to jail. Lin Zhi, teach me, teach me how to do it ¡­"


    Lin Zhi hugged the woman he loved, feeling extremely panicked in his heart.


    "Just let me die, if I die, then it''ll be over. Lin Zhi, let me die ¡­"


    "¡­"


    "Lin Zhi, please let me die ¡­"


    "I promise you."


    Listening to Cheng Wen''e cry about how he was going to die, Lin Zhi finally made a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.


    Cheng Wen Huang left first, Lin Zhi stayed behind, and sat beside the corpse for a long time. When the sky was almost bright, he went to the bathroom and took a towel, and wiped off the prints Cheng Wen hazel had left in the room, and lastly the ashtray. Lin Zhi finished wiping Cheng Wen''s fingerprints, and imprinted his own fingers onto the bed.


    Immediately after, Lin Zhi turned himself in.


    While waiting for the police to arrive, Lin Zhi sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze, his hands still stained with the blood he had intentionally wiped off from the corpse. He thought about how he and Cheng Wen had been in love for five whole years, and how they had secretly met. However, this still did not dispel Lin Zhi''s fear. He could only imagine that he would never be able to turn back in his life.


    Sensing the fear and panic in his dream that Lin Zhi had replaced the culprit in his dreams, Ye Qiao broke out in a cold sweat, but he was still unable to wake up from his dream. In order to dispel the fear Lin Zhi brought him, Ye Qiao tightly grabbed onto the bed sheets beneath him, his fingertips turning white from excessive force ¡­


    ''Bang! ''


    Inside the dream, the police broke the door and rushed forward, dragging Lin Zhi down from the sofa and pressing him onto the ground!


    In that moment, Ye Qiao suddenly woke up with a start by tightly grabbing onto the bedsheet beneath him!

 C13 Midnight Peeping

    Ye Qiao sat on the bed for a while, waiting for his emotions to settle down before he went downstairs to pour some water. But when he walked down the stairs to the living room, he realised that there was a person standing outside the window leaning against the glass looking in.


    Ye Qiao looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was only three in the morning.


    After Qiu Xiangyang asked his police friend for Ye Qiao''s address, he rushed over without delay. After walking around the villa a few times, he still couldn''t find any place to hide, so he waited from 1: 00 to 3: 00, thinking that Ye Qiao would wake up in two or three hours. He couldn''t help but feel a little excited.


    Ye Qiao stood at the end of the stairs, but did not make a sound. He only watched as Qiu Xiangyang took a flashlight and jumped into the house. As the stairs were just around the corner, and did not have any lights on in the house, Ye Qiao could see Qiu Xiangyang but he was not able to see Ye Qiao standing at the top of the stairs.


    After a long while, Qiu Xiangyang came down from the window, holding onto his lower body as he walked hurriedly for a while. Soon after, as if he had found a good place, he quickly unzipped his pants and ran towards the flowerbed.


    Ye Qiao immediately frowned.


    "It''s really cold tonight. If I had known earlier, I would have put on an extra coat and come out. Hiss ¡­"


    "Satisfying?"


    "Of course I''m feeling good. How long have I been holding this in? Just a little ¡­"


    Qiu Xiangyang suddenly stopped talking. After he finished peeing, he immediately shook his body and zipped up the fellow inside his pants, before slowly turning around to look at the person in front of him. After using the light from the flashlight to see who he was, Qiu Xiangyang''s expression was extremely wonderful.


    Ye Qiao''s gaze swept past Qiu Xiangyang and the large patch of land beside the flower bed that was wet, and his gaze suddenly turned cold.


    "I-I couldn''t find a place to pee, so ¡­" I''ll borrow your flower bed first. " Qiu Xiangyang finished his explanation, but Ye Qiao did not utter a word. Qiu Xiangyang''s heart felt even weaker, and hurriedly tried to think of a way to salvage the situation: "Tomorrow, I''ll wash you clean, I guarantee that you won''t be able to tell at all."


    "You''re mad?"


    "Wha, what ¡­"


    "It''s quite dark."


    Qiu Xiangyang followed Ye Qiao''s line of sight. When he understood what was going on, his old face flushed red: "This, this ¡­"


    Ye Qiao glanced at him and asked expressionlessly: "How do you know this place is here?"


    "I asked a friend of the police." Qiu Xiangyang got goosebumps from Ye Qiao''s gaze and accidentally said the truth.


    "Police?"


    "Don''t, don''t misunderstand, I just remembered the number plate on which you left that day, then asked my friend to check where the car had gone. Isn''t this grand? You only found the information to tell me tonight."


    What Qiu Xiangyang and Ye Qiao were worried about was not the same thing. Qiu Xiangyang thought that Ye Qiao did not mind being investigated properly, but Ye Qiao was worried about his identity as a black man. After all, he was not one of the people in the police station''s computer.


    However, from Qiu Xiangyang''s explanation, Ye Qiao could basically be sure that Qiu Xiangyang, that police friend of his, didn''t investigate his residence from a normal way. Maybe he had asked the taxi driver, or maybe he had secretly investigated about it ¡­ Otherwise, if they were to call a person called ''Ye Qiao'' from the records, it was not just him, but his police friend who would be here tonight.


    After dispelling his worries, Ye Qiao turned and walked toward the door.


    "Mr Ye, can you consider carefully the matter that I told you about at the Renhe Medicine Shop?"


    "I don''t lack money."


    "But I''m lacking in people!" Qiu Xiangyang ran over and stopped Ye Qiao in his tracks, "Mr Ye, I''m really a proper filmmaker, I''m not some scammer on the streets."


    "It has nothing to do with me. I don''t know how to make your movies."


    As long as we can find an actor, we can start our work. As for the others, I''ve found them from other places, so I lack you as the male lead. If you promise me that, then we can set aside tomorrow''s investment in the President Lu.


    "I don''t think you lack people either."


    "What?"


    "You''re suitable to be the male lead."


    Ye Qiao was about to leave after he finished speaking.


    Seeing that, Qiu Xiangyang steeled his heart, and directly laid down beside Ye Qiao''s feet with his legs: If you don''t agree, I won''t leave.


    Ye Qiao remained expressionless: "Are you sure you''re not leaving?"


    Qiu Xiangyang clenched his teeth, and shouted: "I''m not leaving!"


    Once he finished speaking, Qiu Xiangyang could no longer move, because a silver needle had appeared out of nowhere on his forehead.


    "Why are you stabbing me with needles? "Why ¡­ why am I suddenly unable to move?"


    "Didn''t you say that you''re not leaving? Let me help you."


    "I was just joking, don''t take it seriously ¡­"


    "Too late."


    Ye Qiao stepped on Qiu Xiangyang''s stomach, walked past him and returned back to the house.


    Qiu Xiangyang''s ghostly wails came from outside.

 C14 It Was a Mistake

    After feeding the mosquitoes for an entire night, just as the sky was about to brighten, Qiu Xiangyang could no longer hold on. He wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he was awakened by a burst of cold water and immediately lost all sleepiness.


    Blinking his eyes wide open, Qiu Xiangyang finally saw Ye Qiao standing on top of his head, holding onto a water pipe.


    "Am I dead?" Qiu Xiangyang asked.


    Ye Qiao did not say anything, but raised the water pipe to wake Qiu Xiangyang up.


    "No, no, no, I was just joking." Qiu Xiangyang hurriedly begged for mercy, "If you continue to spit on me, I''ll really die. Don''t, don''t spray on me."


    Ye Qiao looked down at him from above for a while, then without saying a word, he grabbed the water pipe and went to the flower bed to water. Qiu Xiangyang, who had not slept soundly and had been bitten by the mosquitoes for the majority of the night was lying on the ground alone.


    "Mr Ye, you really like flowers and plants?" Qiu Xiangyang had nothing to say, his eyes continued to size up Ye Qiao''s body. If this was a body, a body, or even a body, it would really be suitable to be the main character of his movie.


    I just don''t know if there''s a abs.


    "If you keep staring, I''ll dig out your eyes."


    A voice without any emotion came from the front, causing Qiu Xiangyang to shudder for no reason. He quickly retracted his gaze from Ye Qiao''s body and asked guiltily, "You can''t have eyes on the back of your head, right?"


    Ye Qiao ignored him.


    After lying on the ground for a while, Qiu Xiangyang felt bored, but he did not dare stare at Ye Qiao this time. He could only open his eyes wide and look at the sky: "Mr Ye, you have nothing to do anyways, why don''t I explain in detail to you about the movie?"


    "¡­"


    If you don''t say anything, I''ll take it as you agreeing." Qiu Xiangyang cleared his throat and sneaked a glance at Ye Qiao who was at the side of the flower bed. Seeing that he had not left, he immediately retracted his gaze and started talking about his movie script, "Wasn''t there a case more than a year ago where a famous celebrity committed a murder? At that time, the entire society was in an uproar and everyone was questioning whether there was an inside story behind this case. "That star insisted that he was the one who killed him, so he admitted it in court ¡­


    Ye Qiao stopped watering and his eyes narrowed instantly.


    Qiu Xiangyang didn''t see the expression of Ye Qiao, who had his back facing him, and continued to narrate his movie. "Later on, a writer wrote this case out with his own ideas and expanded it to include love, friendship, and the social crowd''s reality about money ¡­ When I looked at this novel, there was only one word in my heart, "he said. As Qiu Xiangyang spoke, he glanced at Ye Qiao, "I told that writer that I would definitely make a movie out of the novel, and then I started to plan. After running off and on for over a year, there was finally someone who was willing to invest in my movie.


    "How did it happen?" Ye Qiao asked in an indifferent tone.


    Qiu Xiangyang was startled at first, then thought that Ye Qiao was interested in his movie, and quickly said: "According to the reports, after that star killed someone, he called the police. The police rushed over to subdue him, and then the deceased''s family sued them in court. At the beginning, he admitted that he had killed someone, but he could not give a reason for the murder and the judge could not immediately convict him, so he could only lock him up and await trial. However, later on, someone came to report that the deceased had kept the celebrity while alive and that the two of them had an improper relationship, and the reason for the murder was because the star had become famous and wanted to break that relationship. After Qiu Xiangyang finished speaking, he retracted his gaze from Ye Qiao''s body. There was a look of regret and doubt in his eyes, which caused him to fall into silence.


    Ye Qiao''s eyes darkened, and continued to pour water over the plants. "What''s more in the novel?"


    Qiu Xiangyang was startled, he glanced at Ye Qiao: "You''re interested in him as well?"


    "Him?"


    "Lin Zhi, that killing star."


    Ye Qiao''s eyes suddenly trembled, he turned around and used the water pipe to rush at Qiu Xiangyang''s face, causing him to be unable to move after getting pierced by the needle, he could only lie on the ground and endure the pain, yelling at Ye Qiao to stop spraying.


    After releasing his breath, Ye Qiao threw the water pipe in his hand and walked over to Qiu Xiangyang''s side. Without saying a word, he pulled out the silver needle from''s forehead, then Qiu Xiangyang fiercely jumped up from the ground like a carp.


    "I''m going out for a while."


    That means you can stay if you want to.


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he passed by Qiu Xiangyang and went back to change into a clean set of clothes.


    Seeing that Ye Qiao was about to leave, Qiu Xiangyang ran over and stopped him: "Aren''t you curious about Lin Zhi''s case? I promise you, as long as you are willing to film my movie, I can let you know more."


    "If I want to know, I can buy a novel."


    "H-how can that be the same? It''s better to read a novel than to personally experience the story of the protagonist. For example, why did Lin Zhi kill him, could it be that it''s really because of some sexual dispute ¡­"


    "F * ck off."


    Qiu Xiangyang immediately shut his mouth.


    Ye Qiao swept a cold glance over him, and then left his side.


    Qiu Xiangyang still did not want to miss this chance to turn around, so he chased Ye Qiao onto the taxi road and talked into his ear for a long time. Ye Qiao did not pay attention to him, but got into the taxi and left.


    "Could it be that I made a mistake? Is he not interested in Lin Zhi''s matter?"


    Qiu Xiangyang muttered as he stood at the intersection.

 C15 Visiting Author

    The taxi stopped outside a steel door in front of a house. Ye Qiao paid for the taxi, then got off the car. He raised his eyes to look at the house, and after standing for a while, he went over and pressed the doorbell.


    The doorbell rang and rang, but there was no answer.


    "Who are you looking for?"


    Suddenly, a woman''s voice sounded from behind him. Ye Qiao turned around and saw a girl in her twenties standing behind him, carrying two bags of daily necessities as she stared at him vigilantly.


    Ye Qiao raised the book in his hand: "The person who wrote this novel lives here?"


    After the girl heard what Ye Qiao had to say, she immediately rolled her eyes at him. Then, she placed the two bags down at the metal door and took out a key from her pocket and opened the door: "Which newspaper are you from? "How did you get here? My dad doesn''t accept any interviews. Hurry up and leave before I call the police. Don''t come back again."


    "You are Nan Ye''s daughter?" Ye Qiao asked.


    "Don''t waste your time. If you don''t want to interview me, then don''t want to interview me. No matter how much you ask, it''s useless." However, just as she entered the metal door, she suddenly thought of something and placed the bag on the ground. She turned around and was about to lock the metal door, "I''m also telling you, my father''s legs are inconvenient, even if you rang the doorbell for the entire day, he still wouldn''t open the door for you."


    "I''m not from the newspaper. I just want to have a chat with him."


    "If you''re not someone from the newspaper, I definitely can''t let you in. You don''t even have a purpose, how would I know if you''re a bad person?"


    "I came for Lin Zhi."


    The girl stopped locking the door, and after a few seconds, she raised her head to look at Ye Qiao who was standing outside the metal door. She sized him up from head to toe, and asked suspiciously: "You know Lin Zhi?"


    Ye Qiao nodded.


    The girl frowned her eyebrows and thought for a while, then pulled open the iron door, walked to Ye Qiao and asked: "What do you want to say to my father?"


    "You can''t decide that."


    "If you don''t tell me, how will you know that I can''t make a decision?"


    "What is your relationship with Lin Zhi?"


    "It doesn''t matter, why did you ask so clearly?!"


    "If it doesn''t matter, then we''ll just write down their private matters into the novel. Aren''t you afraid that his family will sue us?"


    When the girl heard Ye Qiao''s words, she was also momentarily stunned, but after reacting to it, she retorted: "It''s just a novel, what''s the point of saying it so seriously? Furthermore, the novel didn''t mention that the main character was Lin Zhi, what did his family sue us for?"


    Ye Qiao squinted his eyes and stared at the girl. The girl was scared by his eyes and couldn''t help but feel a little guilty and scared.


    "What, what''s your name?" The girl hesitated for a moment, then added, "If you tell me, then I''ll be able to talk to my dad."


    "Ye Qiao."


    "Alright, wait a moment. I''ll go in and tell my dad. If he doesn''t want to see you, then I can''t do anything about it."


    "You take this book in and give it to him. He''ll be happy to see me."


    "So many demands!"


    The girl took the book that Ye Qiao passed over, and awkwardly muttered a sentence, and then carried the bag on the floor and walked into the house. Ye Qiao waited at the iron gate, and didn''t go in.


    Not long after, the girl ran out. When she reached the iron gate, she deliberately slowed down her footsteps. She walked over and opened the gate. "My dad told you to go in."


    Ye Qiao entered the room without saying a word.


    "Hello, my name is Nann Xiaoke."


    "¡­"


    Seeing that Ye Qiao ignored her, Nann Xiaoke ran over and followed Ye Qiao: "You''re quite handsome, I don''t have a boyfriend right now, how about you be my boyfriend?"


    Ye Qiao glanced at Nann Xiaoke and walked straight inside.


    Nann Xiaoke smiled slyly and immediately followed her. "If I don''t tell you where my father is, even if you turn the entire house upside down, you won''t be able to see my father, so you might as well agree to be my boyfriend first. In that case, you''ll be my dad''s future son-in-law.


    Ye Qiao was about to go upstairs, but he suddenly stopped and walked towards the small door.


    "Hey, hey, hey, how did you know my dad was inside?"


    "Everyone can breathe. You''ll know when you hear it."


    "He''s so amazing that he can even hear the sound of his breathing. Is that for real?"


    Ye Qiao did not say anything, and walked over and knocked on the door.


    Nann Xiaoke leaned against the wall and smiled at Ye Qiao: "Didn''t I tell you before, my father''s legs are bad, he won''t open the door for you. However, you can consider my suggestion just now. As my boyfriend, I''ll open the door for you. "


    Ye Qiao calmly swept a glance over Nann Xiaoke and took out a silver needle from his pants pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. Nann Xiaoke was so shocked that her jaw almost fell off.


    "Have you seen enough?"


    "Your legs are quite long. They must be 1.2 meters long, right?"


    "¡­"


    Ye Qiao ignored her and used a silver needle to open the door while listening to her debate. He reached out to push open the door.


    Nann Xiaoke immediately rushed to the front of the line and was about to enter, but before she could even enter the door, she suddenly stopped. No matter how hard she tried to lift her hands or legs, she was unable to move.


    Ye Qiao put down the hand that was holding onto the end of the silver needle, glanced at the silver needle on the back of Nann Xiaoke''s neck, and then entered the room in front, closing the door behind him, leaving Nann Xiaoke alone outside.


    Inside the room, there was a man sitting on a wheelchair with his back to the door. He didn''t even look back when Ye Qiao entered the room.


    When Ye Qiao walked in, he glanced at the book on the desk that he had brought with him. The first page had already been flipped open, which meant that Nan Ye had seen the line of words that he had left behind, thus it was much easier for him to continue speaking.


    "What is your relationship with Lin Zhi?" Nan Ye asked with his back facing Ye Qiao.


    Ye Qiao walked next to Nan Ye and looked out of the window together with him. "The book says that the male protagonist killed people for a woman, and the reason this woman wanted to frame him is because she wants to be the wife of the Wealthy Class. Am I right, Mr. Nan?"


    "Everyone who has read my novel knows this story. If you have come to me just to talk about this, then you can leave. I have no time to listen to your nonsense."


    "People in the outside world would guess that the person in your book is Lin Zhi."


    "You don''t have to scare me with those words. I only picked a material, no name, no original copy, the case is already set, everyone knows that it''s a scandal, and it''s completely different from my story."


    "Then why did you agree to see me?"


    Nan Ye turned his head to look at the young man who had always been looking for him. "Because you mentioned Lin Zhi, I want to hear what you have to say.


    "If I remember correctly, you were the one who wrote Lin Zhi''s first movie, right?" Ye Qiao said calmly.


    Nan Ye''s pupils constricted. He stared at Ye Qiao for a while, then recovered his composure and asked without much emotion: "This is something that can be found on the internet. What does it mean?"


    "It means that you know Lin Zhi."


    "You can go now."


    "I heard that you''re going to make a movie out of a novel. Aren''t you afraid that the dead will never be able to rest in peace by doing that?"


    "Lin Zhi isn''t dead, he''s just missing!" Nan Ye flew into a rage, he glared at Ye Qiao, but quickly suppressed it and lowered his head impatiently: "Go, don''t come back again in the future. Using this method to dig up news from me will probably disappoint you."


    Ye Qiao withdrew his gaze from the window and turned to look at the furious Nan Ye, "Since you and Lin Zhi are friends, then we should not push this matter to the public and let the people of the outside world comment on his good or bad side. Public opinion can cause a person to become famous overnight, but it can also cause a person to be beyond redemption. I hope that Mr. Nan will think over what I have said and take his leave. "


    Nan Ye did not speak, he sat on the wheelchair with his head lowered and fists clenched.


    Ye Qiao turned and walked out of the room, after pulling out the silver needle from Nann Xiaoke''s neck, he headed towards the main entrance.


    Nann Xiaoke was suddenly able to move. Just as she wanted to run out to chase her future boyfriend, she was worried about Nan Ye''s body, so she could only run into the room to see Nan Ye.


    After Ye Qiao left, he did not notice that there was a black private car by the side of the road. From the time he left to him getting a taxi, all of them were in the eyes of the man in the car.


    "President Lu, this person is here to find Nan Ye. Is he here for the movie too?"


    "What has Qiu Xiangyang been doing recently?"


    "Seems to be busy looking for actors to film it."


    "Go down and say that I want to see Nan Ye."


    "Yes, President Lu."


    After hearing Lu Jinghuan''s orders, the secretary Hee Mu immediately got off the car and rang the doorbell.


    Lu Jinghuan sat in the car and looked at the Nan Jia Village House with a heavy gaze.

 C16 A Fool

    After leaving the Nan Clan, Ye Qiao went to the market to buy ingredients and fruits for three days, and then went to the brush and ink shop on Culture Street to buy a set of the Four Treasures of the Literature Hall that were specially written. Compared to the computer and the endless string of pens, ballpoint pens and brushes, Ye Qiao was still used to recording his prescriptions and the trifling details of his daily life.


    It was already noon by the time he got his things and took a taxi home.


    Hearing the commotion from the road, Qiu Xiangyang immediately rolled up his sleeves and used a brush to clean the tiles beside the flowerbed. When Ye Qiao returned to the path in front of the villa, he greeted him: "Mr Ye is back?"


    Ye Qiao ignored Qiu Xiangyang and headed straight for the main door.


    Seeing that this trick was useless, Qiu Xiangyang quickly threw the brush and ran to Ye Qiao''s side. He followed him to the door and politely reached out for the bag in Ye Qiao''s hands: "I guess it''s pretty heavy to buy so many things, let me help you carry them in."


    Ye Qiao''s footsteps paused, he turned and looked towards the hand Qiu Xiangyang had extended over: "Take it away."


    In order to not anger Ye Qiao, Qiu Xiangyang immediately retracted his hand and looked at Ye Qiao with a fawning face: "I have already cleaned the flower pots, I guarantee that I won''t be able to pee at all ¡­ "If you don''t believe me, go take a look."


    "I''m not going to make your movie. Go away."


    "Now is not a movie, I just want to be friends with you, Mr Ye."


    "I don''t make friends."


    "¡­"


    Ye Qiao stared at Qiu Xiangyang coldly for a while. Qiu Xiangyang was so scared by his stare that he could only tactfully move aside and watch Ye Qiao carry the bag into the room.


    Ten minutes later.


    Ye Qiao was in the middle of cooking in the kitchen when he suddenly heard some extremely minute footsteps behind him. He was not wearing shoes, and was probably tiptoeing on the floor, Ye Qiao put down the bowl in his hands, and extended his hand out to the row of knives in front, picking up a sharp knife that was used to cut fruits. When the person behind him neared the pillar outside of the kitchen, Ye Qiao casually threw out the fruit knife.


    "Bang!"


    The fruit knife brushed past Qiu Xiangyang''s eyes and directly stabbed into the dart target hanging on the pillar!


    Qiu Xiangyang didn''t even manage to catch a breath, and almost burped in fright.


    "While I still have patience, scram."


    "¡­"


    When he did not hear a reply, Ye Qiao took out a blade and was about to throw it backwards ¡ª ¡ª


    "No, no, no. I''ll get lost, I''ll get lost ¡­"


    "You think I don''t know?"


    "Mr Ye, your ears are really godly. You even know that I came in without shoes."


    "F * ck off."


    Qiu Xiangyang avoided the target on the side of his head and the fruit knife, then ran to the side of the kitchen and leaned on the glass window as he peeked inside: "I know how to roll, but I''m a little hungry now, if I go back and I don''t have anything to eat, since you''re doing it anyway, why don''t you cook a bowl for me?"


    "Clang" Ye Qiao inserted the blade in his hand into the chopping board, causing Qiu Xiangyang to immediately shut his mouth.


    After a long while.


    Seeing Ye Qiao sitting at the dining table and eating three dishes and a soup, Qiu Xiangyang who had been starving for more than ten hours could only swallow his saliva at the door. Never did he expect that it would be such a simple dish.


    Ye Qiao ate half of it, and the rest of it, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.


    Qiu Xiangyang thought that Ye Qiao was being kind and left it for his to eat, so he took the chance to run in and prepare to eat heartily after he left. However, before he even ate a few mouthfuls of the food, he saw Ye Qiao carrying the dustbin out. Qiu Xiangyang still had the food in his mouth, and then Ye Qiao poured all of the leftover dishes into the dustbin.


    After swallowing the food in his mouth, Qiu Xiangyang''s heart started to collapse.


    "I don''t know how to make movies, it''s useless even if you stay here." After pouring the dishes, Ye Qiao looked up at Qiu Xiangyang: "It''s better to take this time to look for someone else."


    Qiu Xiangyang looked at the dishes in the dustbin regretfully before accepting the fact that he had no food to eat. With a complicated tone, he said, "Don''t ruin the food if you don''t want to make a movie. Such a good thing ¡­"


    "Did you hear what I said?"


    "I can hear you clearly, but there''s nothing I can do."


    "What do you mean?"


    Qiu Xiangyang raised his head and looked at Ye Qiao. After sighing, he laughed bitterly: "It means that I have already reported your name to the, and it was written in the movie proposal that was given to them. It''s your turn. "


    Ye Qiao slammed the dustbin onto the table and let out a sound that scared Qiu Xiangyang and made him retreat a few steps back.


    "Then let me be clear with you, your movie won''t be made."


    "Wh-why?"


    "How do you shoot without a script?"


    "That''s impossible, I have already discussed this with Nan Ye. As long as I find actors and investors, he will film it for me."


    "You can check again."


    "¡­"


    Qiu Xiangyang fished out a phone from his pants pocket and immediately called Nan Ye, but no one picked up the call after a few calls. Qiu Xiangyang saw that Ye Qiao did not look like he was joking, and recalled his previous attitude, feeling very uneasy.


    "I''ll go to Nan Ye''s home first. Mr Ye, wait for my news!"


    "Idiot."


    Ye Qiao said coldly, he then picked up the tableware on the table, and upon seeing Qiu Xiangyang''s chopsticks, he frowned, and threw both the chopsticks and the plate that Qiu Xiangyang had picked up into the dustbin s.

 C17 Report from

    Ever since Ye Qiao had met Nan Ye, Qiu Xiangyang had not appeared for many days. His life returned to normal, he wrote down medicine formulas and all sorts of flowers. He took advantage of his leisure time to go to the city''s library to flip through ancient records to see if he could find a way to recover his internal energy.


    "Guide breathing, acupuncture plaster, do not block the nine orifices ¡­" Ye Qiao flipped a few pages and then took a book from another shelf for comparison. In the book, it said ''The Inner Scene Tunnel, only those who return will be able to observe'', which meant that during training, he would be able to feel the changes to his meridians. Ye Qiao understood this logic, and he had used acupuncture methods before, but in the end, his Inner Qi was still as heavy as a stone in the ocean, he could not lift it at all.


    Just as Ye Qiao was flipping through the books on meridian channels and acupuncture in the library, suddenly, a shadow walked over from the opposite bookshelf. A pair of eyes looked at him through the bookshelf, but Ye Qiao ignored it and continued to read his own book.


    "True qi is absorbed into the greater vertebra acupoint, from the Sky Sect acupoint to the Zhenzhen acupoint, then from the sea, then to the old age, then to the Yang Valley, back to the valley, and finally to the Shaoze acupoint on the little finger ¡­" Nann Xiaoke had already been paying attention to Ye Qiao for a long time, so he took the opportunity to slip across to him while he was busy flipping through the books, and after observing for a while, he randomly picked up a book from the bookshelf, and read a paragraph of text, wanting to strike up a conversation with Ye Qiao: "Hey, tell me, you have been reading for a long time, do you know what this paragraph says?"


    Ye Qiao did not make a sound, he did not even raise his eyelids.


    Nann Xiaoke was a little discouraged, she took the book and walked from the bookshelf to Ye Qiao''s side and whispered to him: "Recently, I have also been interested in this kind of thing, and you have been reading books like this for a long time, so you must have definitely studied it before, why don''t you explain it so that we can progress together?"


    "You use the word ''thing'' to describe yourself. You don''t even know what you want to learn, and you still say that you''re interested?" Ye Qiao said with an indifferent tone.


    "You''re finally willing to talk to me. I thought you''d become mute after not seeing me for a few days." Nann Xiaoke giggled as she walked closer to Ye Qiao, using her shoulder to push his arm up: "Teach me how to do it, since you''re looking at this too."


    "That''s a way to clear the wine. You can learn it if you want to drink."


    "Is that so? Where''s the Great Spinal Acupuncture Point? And what are the Heaven Sect''s Acupuncture Point and the ZhenZhen Acupuncture Point ¡­"


    "You have no talent, so just give up."


    "If you were to help me awaken my Inherent skill, wouldn''t I have it?"


    "How did you know I was here?"


    Nann Xiaoke was startled for a moment, then she stood up straight with embarrassment and covered her face with the book as she laughed awkwardly: "Didn''t you come to see my dad a few days ago to talk about movies? I was just thinking that this matter must be related to Qiu Xiangyang, and since Qiu Xiangyang had been coming to my house frequently these few days, asking for my help to convince my dad, I asked for your family''s address, so ¡­"


    Ye Qiao stopped flipping the book, and turned to look at Nann Xiaoke after a few seconds: "You followed me?"


    Being stared at by Ye Qiao made Nann Xiaoke''s heart skip a beat, and her face became slightly red: "That''s not it, I was just about to go visit you, and then I saw you taking a taxi, so I ¡­ "I came with you."


    Ye Qiao frowned, he put down the book in his hands and was about to leave.


    Nann Xiaoke also put down the book and quickly ran over to catch up: "Other than wanting to meet you for once, I really have something to tell you. If you were willing to treat me better, maybe I would have told you the moment I''m happy."


    "¡­"


    "Alright, alright, alright. Can''t I tell you?" Wait for me! "


    Ye Qiao''s footsteps paused, a bit of carelessness on her part allowed her to bump into Ye Qiao''s back. Although the sudden pain made her cry, and she probably touched the male god''s body, Nann Xiaoke was still secretly happy.


    "I''m not interested in what you''re going to say. Please don''t appear in front of me again in the future."


    "Why? People say that I''m cute. Although I''m not beautiful enough to make passersby turn around, I still won''t embarrass you as your girlfriend."


    "Not interested."


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he prepared to leave.


    Nann Xiaoke quickly grabbed onto his arm and took the chance to quickly say: "Two days ago, when you were about to leave, there was a person called ''Lu Jinghuan'' who came to find my father and talk about the rights to the novel. Although my father did not immediately agree, but he looked to be rather hesitant, I have never seen him like this, so I am sure he will be moved."


    Ye Qiao stopped walking and turned to look at Nann Xiaoke: "What did he tell your father?"


    "I don''t know what to say, but I''m sure that President Lu has some skills."


    "So that''s why you came to see me today?"


    "Yes, and no."


    Ye Qiao glanced at Nann Xiaoke, and without saying a word, he prepared to leave.


    Nann Xiaoke hurriedly grabbed onto Ye Qiao''s arm to prevent him from leaving, and explained the reason for their visit: "That President Lu came to see my father again yesterday, and after saying a few words, he came out again, and told me to come look for you. He said that he wanted to meet you."


    "There''s no need."


    "He said it''s about Lin Zhi!"


    Ye Qiao''s figure froze and he did not turn around. With his back facing Nann Xiaoke, he asked: "You said his surname was Lu?"


    "Right, right, Lu Jinghuan, the successor to Lu¡¯s Group." Nann Xiaoke shook everything out, "He said that he also knows Lin Zhi and wants to meet his friend."


    Lu Jinghuan.


    Lu¡¯s Group...


    If there was nothing wrong with Ye Qiao''s memories, it was about the dream Lin Zhi had given him, where Cheng Wanzhen worked was his Lu¡¯s Group ¡­ So what did Lu Jinghuan mean by talking about Lin Zhi?

 C18 Become Stepmother

    The person who had disappeared for a few days appeared again. When Ye Qiao just returned from the library, he saw Qiu Xiangyang sitting in front of a round table in the courtyard with a glass fish tank.


    Ye Qiao frowned, he walked straight towards the stone path and entered the house.


    Seeing that Ye Qiao had returned, Qiu Xiangyang quickly stuffed the fish food bag into his pocket, hugged the goldfish bowl and ran to Ye Qiao''s side to follow him in: "Mr Ye, you''re back?"


    "Why are you here again?" Ye Qiao opened the door with the key.


    Qiu Xiangyang leaned against the door frame with the goldfish tank in his arms and laughed, "I just happened to pass by the market today and saw people selling goldfish, so I bought two goldfish for you."


    "No need."


    "Why isn''t it necessary? Your house is so big, and only you live here. No matter how I look at it, it''s too deserted. If you leave the fish tank at home, you can at least get a little bit angry, right? "


    "You''re really annoying."


    Qiu Xiangyang was startled, the smile on his face stiffened, and then he straightened his body and said seriously: "I don''t have any other intentions, I just want to be friends with you, as for the matter regarding the movie ¡­ We can discuss about it in the future. "


    Ye Qiao pushed the door open and entered. Seeing that, Qiu Xiangyang immediately carried the fish tank and wanted to follow along, but he stopped and blocked Qiu Xiangyang from the stairs. Qiu Xiangyang hugged onto a bowl of fish and looked at Ye Qiao with a wronged expression.


    "What are you trying to do?"


    "Didn''t I just say that I have no other intentions? I just want to be friends with you."


    "I''ve seen a lot of shameless people like you. You dare to say that you want to be friends with me? It''s not because of your movie?"


    Qiu Xiangyang''s body froze, and his face instantly turned white.


    Ye Qiao didn''t say anything further and closed the door.


    "Wait, wait ¡­" "I really didn''t come to find you for the movie this time, because Nan Ye went back on his words and refused to authorize me to make the movie. The reason why I came to look for you was because I really want to be friends with you, that''s all!"


    "So you just told people my address?"


    "This... "It''s my fault, I don''t have the face to explain myself, but I really want to be friends with you, not for the movies or anything else, I just want to be friends with you."


    "What do you like about me?"


    "¡­"


    Qiu Xiangyang knew that Ye Qiao did not have any other intentions, furthermore, people like Ye Qiao, who were cold and warm, would not have any other thoughts, but the word ''liked'' made people think wrongly. Just as Qiu Xiangyang was thinking randomly, he coincidentally met Ye Qiao''s cold gaze, scaring him to the point that his entire body shivered. Even if he had any thoughts in his mind, they all instantly vanished.


    "I don''t know, I just think that you are a different person. If you had agreed to be the male lead of my movie from the beginning, I might not have always wanted to be your friend."


    "¡­"


    "Why don''t you consider it?"


    Looking at Qiu Xiangyang''s fawning face, Ye Qiao was silent for a moment before asking him, "What was the name of the President Lu you mentioned earlier?"


    Who knew that Ye Qiao would suddenly change the topic, but since he had asked, Qiu Xiangyang would not hide it from him, and replied: "Lu Jinghuan, the general manager of Lu¡¯s Group ¡­. But aren''t you not interested in movies? Why are you asking about him? "


    "He''s married?"


    "Ye, aren''t you being too direct? Could it be that you''ve taken a fancy to Lu ¡­" Seeing Ye Qiao staring straight at him, Qiu Xiangyang quickly changed his words. "Lu Jinghuan isn''t married, and is still single."


    Not married?


    Ye Qiao frowned, could it be that Cheng Wanzhen had nothing to do with Lu¡¯s Group?


    Seeing Ye Qiao lowered his head and thinking, Qiu Xiangyang thought that he was interested in Lu Jinghuan, so he told him everything he knew, "Lu Jinghuan is not married, but last year President Lu married a young wife, who was around Lu Jinghuan''s age, and is Lu Jinghuan''s stepmother."


    "Stepmother?"


    "Yeah, she''s already one year old, what''s the name of this Mrs Lu? Cheng... Cheng Wanzhen? "Yes, that''s the name."


    The child was over a year old?


    In other words, when Lin Zhi had just gone to prison, he had already become someone else''s concubine, and even gave birth to a son for that old man?


    "I heard that Mrs Lu has some methods, after giving birth to his son, he became a manager in Lu¡¯s Group, and is now with Lu Jinghuan at the company. Earlier, the outside world had been speculating as to whether the conflict between the two of them was real or not. "


    "It has something to do with you?"


    "It''s not closed ¡­"


    "Then why are you saying so much?"


    "¡­"


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he locked the door.


    Qiu Xiangyang stood at the door and stared blankly for a long time with the fish tank in his arms. Finally, he twitched his mouth, placed the bathtub on the steps, then took a taxi and left the villa.


    When he landed on the second floor and watched Qiu Xiangyang board the carriage, an unfathomable expression appeared in Ye Qiao''s eyes. The memories that Lin Zhi gave him added up with the novels that Nan Ye had compiled, and then what Qiu Xiangyang had said just now ¡­ It was enough to prove that Cheng Wanzhen was not someone simple to kill. She and Lin Zhi were lovers, even if they wanted to marry, they shouldn''t have immediately switched to the embrace of another person after Lin Zhi carried the blame for her.


    Now that the child was over one year old, what did this mean?


    Qiu Xiangyang said that Lu Jinghuan and Cheng Wanzhen were at odds, then why did he mention that he wanted to see ¡­


    Ye Qiao stood by the window for a while, but in the end, he decided not to wade through the muddy water. Lin Zhi was Lin Zhi, he was him, even if there was some conspiracy behind it, it had nothing to do with him, right?

 C19 Network Video

    After refusing Lu Jinghuan''s invitation, a few days of peace passed by. Although Qiu Xiangyang had come to his place every day under the guise of making friends, giving him daily necessities and sending him fruits, he did not bring up the matter of filming the movie again. It was as if he suddenly lost his memory, so he stayed at Ye Qiao''s place for a day and only left at night.


    Ye Qiao still did not pay attention to Qiu Xiangyang, as he did not understand why this person always liked to pester him and not let him go. Nan Ye''s attitude was unclear, and this movie of Qiu Xiangyang''s temporarily did not work, so logically speaking, he did not need to always come over to him, but Qiu Xiangyang acted as if he was poisoned, and even if he scolded him, he would not beat him up, and insisted that Ye Qiao was different from the others, so he just wanted to be friends with him.


    The more he ran, the more Ye Qiao turned a blind eye to him. If it was the previous dynasty he lived in, Qiu Xiangyang would have died hundreds of times, but this era was a society based on the rule of law. Killing people was too much of a problem, and Ye Qiao did not want to get into this trouble.


    However, the peace in his life didn''t last for too long, it was broken by a piece of crazy news on the internet.


    "Ye, Ye ¡­"


    "What are you doing here again?"


    "Do you know what happened?"


    Qiu Xiangyang quickly ran into the courtyard and pulled a chair over to sit next to Ye Qiao. He turned his head and accidentally bumped into Ye Qiao''s gaze, causing Qiu Xiangyang to quickly move his chair closer, maintaining a certain distance between him and Ye Qiao.


    Ye Qiao retracted his gaze and continued copying the prescription on the table.


    Seeing that Ye Qiao was indifferent, Qiu Xiangyang felt itchy in his heart. He stretched his neck and looked at the brush that was written on him, then quietly chatted with him: "Did you hear, Lin Zhi bought a house before he went to prison."


    Ye Qiao paused for a moment as he picked up the brush, and then continued writing, "Is this the major event that you were talking about?"


    Isn''t that a big deal?" Qiu Xiangyang was anxious in his heart, but before Ye Qiao could ask him, he hurriedly moved the inkstone and paper beside him to the side, pulled over a chair and leaned on his side and said: "Lin Zhi''s assets have already been counted. Don''t look at how red he was a year ago, but he doesn''t have a single property under his name. Someone had sent a video online of Lin Zhi going to the Housing Authority to register to buy and sell the house. Since he does not have a house to sell, then he must have bought it.


    Ye Qiao continued to write: "Is there any meaning in finding out what happened after more than a year?"


    "You live alone and don''t go out too much. Of course you don''t know what happened outside."


    "How did it turn out?"


    "Before Lin Zhi''s incident, didn''t he say that he wanted to quit the performing arts industry? Now that the video of him buying a house was released, the outside world started guessing whether Lin Zhi wanted to get married or not. He bought a house and registered it under the name of the female side, that''s why they couldn''t find him."


    "What has this got to do with you?"


    "It''s alright ¡­"


    "Then what are you worrying about?"


    "¡­"


    Qiu Xiangyang was stumped by Ye Qiao''s words, thinking that it made sense, what did it matter if Lin Zhi bought a house or not?


    "You come to my place every day because you have nothing to do?" Ye Qiao shot Qiu Xiangyang a glance, and said without much of a tone.


    "Nothing to do for the time being, unless someone is willing to invest in my movie." Speaking till here, Qiu Xiangyang became frustrated: "Didn''t I go to the Nan Family a few times previously, but Nan Ye still did not express his stance, and just kept on wasting time with me? I think in just a month or two, all the actors I''ve been looking for would have all fled ¡­. Sigh, the world is cold and warm. "


    "Then don''t."


    "I have no choice. I still have a bunch of people to support. I''ve been unable to get a movie since the beginning of the year and it''s been half a year. If this continues, we''ll all be drinking!"


    "If you want to beg Nan Ye, then you might as well ask Lu Jinghuan. He can help you invest.


    "I have thought about it too, but President Lu has not been willing to see me recently." Qiu Xiangyang sighed: "I think, if I am unable to handle this matter with Nan Ye, I will probably be blacklisted for the Lu¡¯s Group, and it will be even more difficult for me to continue filming in the future."


    Ye Qiao ignored him and continued to copy.


    Qiu Xiangyang sighed, feeling that it was boring, he stretched his neck and looked at Ye Qiao''s calligraphy: "Ye, your calligraphy is so beautiful, much better than those famous calligraphers."


    Ye Qiao snorted, and did not say a word.


    Qiu Xiangyang watched for a while, and then couldn''t help but change the topic, "But then again, Lin Zhi was so popular before, so many fans, if he really quit the show for the sake of marriage, according to how terrifying the fans are, they could have completely dug out the parts out of all the girlfriends Lin Zhi had dated ¡­"


    The sharp tip paused, leaving a circle of smeared ink on the copied paper.


    "Hey hey, there''s ink!"


    "If it''s human, will the house that Lin Zhi bought be found?"


    "Aren''t you not interested?"


    "Scram if you don''t say it."


    "Tell me about it." Qiu Xiangyang was really afraid of Ye Qiao''s temper, and immediately told him to scram: "It''s basically impossible, the information is all in the Office of Internal Affairs computer, unless it''s leaked from the inside, no outsider will be able to find out. "Now that things have gotten out of hand and the internet has been clamoring that they''re going to uncover the house and the department is under a lot of pressure, we''ll definitely cover it, so there''s no need to worry."


    Hearing Qiu Xiangyang''s words, Ye Qiao slightly calmed down.


    "Don''t even think about it, I''ll tell you if there''s a situation." Qiu Xiangyang turned around and looked at the villa in front of him. "You said that since you live in such a big place, you shouldn''t connect your computer to the internet.


    Ye Qiao also felt that Qiu Xiangyang''s words made sense, since he had been pushed to the apex of public opinion. If anything were to happen to him, he needed to know in time, and once the matter of the house was discovered, a large number of media outlets and fans would come to surround him. At that time, he would not be safe here.


    Maybe he could even call Cheng Wanzhen over.


    Thinking about this, Ye Qiao felt annoyed.


    "What are you thinking?"


    "With a computer, when can we get online?"


    "Call the communication company and ask them to connect to the internet. We can use it once you plug it into the computer. Very soon."


    "This is the card, password 276538."


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he took out his bank card and handed it over to Qiu Xiangyang.


    Qiu Xiangyang was startled, he looked at the bank card and then at Ye Qiao, he was a little confused: "What are you doing?"


    "I don''t really understand about computers, but since you''re free, help me run over and then call them to come over to the internet." Ye Qiao took the paper and ink stone and stood up: "I''ll be troubling you."


    Qiu Xiangyang was stunned for a long time, when he reacted, Ye Qiao had already entered the door.


    Did he just say "trouble"?

 C20 Teach the Artist

    Yuan Dinng Entertainment Company.


    In the manager''s office.


    Xiang Pinng stood at the window with his back facing the door. He had not spoken a word since the two artists came in, and the atmosphere in the office had dropped to ice. Since they knew about Xiang Pinng''s fiery temper, the two artists did not say anything and just sat obediently on the chairs in front of the desk.


    "What did I tell you before?" After a while, Xiang Pinng opened his mouth and turned to look at one of the female artists, his face gloomy: "Go ahead."


    The female artiste looked at the male artiste sitting beside her. After a moment of hesitation, she said guiltily, "You are not allowed to go to a nightclub."


    Xiang Pinng laughed coldly, and turned his gaze to the male artist: "Tell me about the others."


    "No alcohol, no Weibo photos, no..." The man''s tone became more and more impatient, he then raised his head and met Xiang Pinng''s gaze, and said with reason: "Aya and I did not do anything, it was just taking a photo and sending it to the individual page, right? "Besides, Brother Ping, you kept saying that you wanted me to get in contact with Aya and turn us into a couple on the screen. Now that you''ve gotten your wish, what are you angry about, Brother Ping?"


    "Screen lovers?" Xiang Pinng''s face darkened.


    The male artist wanted to say something, but when the female artiste saw that Xiang Pinng''s expression did not seem right, she quickly reached out and pulled him away, signalling him to stop.


    Xiang Pinng walked to the office table, glanced at the scattered photos of the lovers around the table, and without saying a word, threw them at the male artist''s face: "And a couple on the screen? What kind of movie couple are you trying to make with a hungry look?! Do you think it''s porn or third-rate? The company spent so much money to bring out such a brainless thing like you?! "


    "Brother Ping, we never thought that someone would secretly take photos of us ¡­"


    "With your little brains, you want to establish a foothold in the show industry?!" Without waiting for the female artiste to speak, Xiang Pinng interrupted her with a single sentence. He then took out his phone angrily and flipped open the front page of the female artiste''s face book, pointing at her: "This, this, and this, you say you can eat whatever you eat, coffee can be coffee, why are you casually surfing the Internet, are you afraid that people won''t know where you are? Or are you sick from taking photos?! And this, look, vacation?! Have you grown a brain? Before, when you asked them to open the windows in their programs, I said all sorts of good words to make them think that you were taking care of your illness. And you, you pig of a brain, you sent a travel photo... Just like that, you want to speak up for him despite having the same intelligence as him? I say, little girl, you should make your own snacks! "


    "Brother Ping, haven''t I already apologized and explained this? The photos were taken in the past, and they were sent out due to the boredom of recuperation ¡­"


    "Just shut up."


    The female artiste quickly shut her mouth and lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.


    "Dong, dong, dong ~ ~"


    "Come in!"


    Just as Xiang Pinng was lecturing the two artists under his tutelage, there came a knock on the door. Before Xiang Pinng could react, the door to the office was opened and the assistant carefully entered.


    "Brother Ping, someone wants to see you."


    "I''m busy, I''m busy!"


    "But ¡­"


    It''s been over a year, and Brother Ping''s temper hasn''t changed at all." Without waiting for the assistant to finish speaking, the door opened and a woman holding onto a child appeared at the door. She looked at Xiang Pinng with a smile that was not a smile.


    Xiang Pinng was startled, he deliberately turned his head to look at the two bodyguards behind the lady, and after a moment of silence, he angrily sent the two artists out, telling them to stay at home from today onwards, to not go anywhere. The two artists knew about Xiang Pinng''s temper, and did not dare to retort. They stood up and lowered their heads, and then walked towards the door.


    "Mrs Lu."


    "Mrs Lu."


    The two artists greeted the woman standing by the door.


    The woman smiled but didn''t say anything.


    After the two artists left, Xiang Pinng''s anger had dissipated by more than half. He glared at the woman angrily and had no intention of inviting her in: "Mrs Lu, what kind of wind blew you here? My temple is small, it can''t accommodate a Buddha like you."


    "Brother Ping, of course I have something to talk to you about. Why didn''t you invite me in?"


    "Cheng Wanzhen, I have nothing else to say to you, please."


    "What if it''s about Lin Zhi?" Cheng Wanzhen laughed, "Brother Ping, you''re not interested either?"


    Xiang Pinng took out a cigarette from the box and stopped for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Cheng Wanzhen who was standing at the door, nodded his head with a cold smile, and returned the cigarette back to the box: "Alright, I would like to see what you can say."


    Cheng Wanzhen laughed, she then squatted down and touched the child''s face, then instructed the bodyguard behind him: "Take the young master out to play, wait for me and Brother Ping to finish our discussion, then come back."


    The two bodyguards nodded and left with the child.


    Cheng Wanzhen stood up, smiled at Xiang Pinng who was sitting at the desk, and walked in.

 C21 Powerful Woman

    "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"


    "Let''s not talk about Lin Zhi. I can''t even get into your office, can I?"


    "You have always been an ambitious woman, I already knew that ever since the first time I saw you six years ago. It''s just that Lin Zhi is such a fool, he would rather give up his own career and future to marry you ¡­ Forget it, it''s all in the past now. Tell me your purpose in coming here. "


    Cheng Wanzhen took a look at one of the walls in Xiang Pinng''s study, they were basically photos of all of the famous directors and celebrities in the entertainment circle. Cheng Wanzhen glanced at them one by one: "After Lin Zhi went missing, your place as a manager must be really bad, right?"


    Xiang Pinng knocked on the glass ashtray with his index finger. If it was not a crime to kill someone, he would definitely throw the ashtray at the back of his head. Everyone said that the showbiz circle was a big dye-pot, and those who came out more or less lost their natural instincts. In the showbiz circle, those who wanted to get on top of others, without some special methods, were simply impossible, but among Xiang Pinng had seen so many people with special methods, none of them could compare to Cheng Wanzhen.


    However, Cheng Wanzhen was different. From the moment she came to negotiate with Lin Zhi in his office six years ago, Xiang Pinng knew that this woman was not a simple person, and sure enough, when something happened to Lin Zhi later on, she immediately married the rich old man and gave birth to a son. It was unknown just how long she stayed together with him under Lin Zhi''s nose. If Xiang Pinng did not want to care about this, he could not. She could only rejoice that she did not choose the wrong person to sign the contract with. Back then, when Cheng Wanzhen brought Lin Zhi to see him, because she knew about the relationship between them in advance, in addition to the company rules forbidding artistes from dating each other, Xiang Pinng could only sign one of them. After considering it again and again, in the end, Xiang Pinng chose Lin Zhi.


    The reason why he chose Lin Zhi was because of his own good looks, good looks, singing, and also because he had a foundation in acting when he graduated from the Film and Television Academies. Also, because he wanted to compete with his opponent''s company, he urgently needed to introduce a small, fresh meat with excellent looks and talent to meet the needs of the market and the competition. Of course, Xiang Pinng had also admitted that Cheng Wanzhen was indeed more outstanding. When he came to apply, he already had a small reputation in the circle. To make an analogy, Lin Zhi was like a green fruit that had just matured, but Cheng Wanzhen had already fully matured. Signing Lin Zhi would require the company to spend a large amount of money to nurture and package him, and his future prospects were unknown, but signing Cheng Wanzhen, meant that everything would be on the right track, whether it was shooting scenes or distributing records, everything would go smoothly ¡ª


    However, due to consideration of the development prospects of the company and its market requirements, Lin Zhi was finally kept.


    Of course, there was also Xiang Pinng''s selfishness. If he had insisted on signing Cheng Wanzhen at the start, the company would have agreed to it, but the problem was that Cheng Wanzhen''s position in the industry had already taken shape, and she could not broaden the scope of the show, nor give the audience a new feeling, it was completely different from the original intention of Xiang Pinng to nurture a variety of artists. But Lin Zhi was different. He was young, energetic, and sunny. The most important thing was that he was an unpolished jade.


    After that, Lin Zhi was signed by the company and quickly committed to work. Furthermore, according to his agreement with the company, he didn''t publicly announce her relationship with Cheng Wanzhen, but what made Xiang Pinng see clearly was that when Lin Zhi''s career had just started, Cheng Wanzhen ran over to tell him that she wanted to publicly announce her relationship with Lin Zhi, the reason was very laughable. Since she was the one who recommended him to join the company, he had to help her out right now.


    Towards this kind of unreasonable request, Xiang Pinng naturally rejected it on the spot. After that, Cheng Wanzhen did not give up on trying to use some of the photos to publicize her relationship with Lin Zhi, and all of it had been settled by Xiang Pinng''s money. In the end, Cheng Wanzhen''s career did not end at all, and he just quit the showbiz and found a company to work for him. Xiang Pinng knew that Lin Zhi could not let his go, and was even busy doing nothing to accompany her. As long as his feelings were not exposed, Xiang Pinng would allow his to do as he pleased.


    Then, it was more than a year ago when Lin Zhi came over to tell him that he had left the showbiz circle.


    Xiang Pinng did not know what happened after Lin Zhi ran out, but he was sure that Lin Zhi would not kill people. Usually, when he saw his fans standing downstairs waiting for him, they would all go out to buy water for him.


    "This is the picture of Lin Zhi six years ago when he had just stepped out of this dao field ¡­" Cheng Wanzhen said as he reached out to touch the picture.


    "Don''t touch it!" Xiang Pinng blurted out, and then his face darkened: "Don''t touch that photo, don''t touch him."


    Cheng Wanzhen''s hand paused for a few seconds, then turned to look at Xiang Pinng: "Don''t touch what?"


    Xiang Pinng lit up a cigarette and snappily replied: "You know what I''m talking about, you can''t get out of this business with Lin Zhi, if he didn''t leave the show industry for you, then that wouldn''t have happened, so you ¡­" Don''t touch him. "


    The expression in the depths of Cheng Wanzhen''s eyes changed, but she quickly returned to normal. She walked to the chair opposite of Xiang Pinng and sat down with a smile, then said to him: "Alright, I''ll talk about proper business with you."


    "What is it?"


    "Have you heard the latest news?"


    "What do I think it is? To be able to trouble Mrs Lu to come over personally, I must be afraid that my past events would be exposed. So, you have specially come over to investigate my background?"


    Cheng Wanzhen pushed the ashtray on the desk to her side, just in time to catch the cigarette ash that had fallen to the ground. Xiang Pinng squinted and looked at Cheng Wanzhen: "Don''t waste your time, Lin Zhi is definitely going to marry you, as for whether he bought a house, I''m not sure, and he didn''t tell me, if you want to know, you can go and check for yourself."


    "You know that''s not what I care about." Cheng Wanzhen looked at Xiang Pinng and smiled without batting an eyelid.


    Xiang Pinng stared at Cheng Wanzhen for a few seconds, he suddenly took two puffs of smoke and stuffed the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray, saying impolitely: "Don''t worry, I don''t have the time to dole out your stuff, I won''t mention a word of you being with Lin Zhi, and I don''t want to talk about it either. Lin Zhi is an artist that I brought out by hand, and he is also the most outstanding one. Although his whereabouts are unknown, I do not wish to discredit him, so if Mrs Lu is satisfied with my answer, then we can leave now. "


    Cheng Wanzhen laughed, and got up from her chair: "Thank you, Brother Ping."


    Xiang Pinng snorted, and did not say a word.


    Cheng Wanzhen pulled her chair back and turned towards the door.


    "Lin Zhi has gone missing for several months. I thought you came to me to find his whereabouts." When Cheng Wanzhen reached her hands out to open the door, she suddenly shouted this sentence, causing him to stop in her tracks.


    "I''ve had nothing to do with him since he went to jail."


    "Mrs Lu, the last time you came to see me, it was to reveal your relationship with Lin Zhi. But this time, you want me to hide it for you, compared to how Lin Zhi is treating you justice, at most, you are just a woman who would destroy the bridge after crossing it. If Lin Zhi is destroyed, you become the CEO''s wife of Lu¡¯s Group ¡­ How about it, in the past year or so, have you dreamt of Lin Zhi, and did he say anything to you? "


    "No, I''m doing very well. Thank you for your concern."


    After Cheng Wanzhen finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out.


    Xiang Pinng was so angry that both his hands were trembling. In the end, he fiercely swept all the photos and documents on the table to the ground, and only after venting his anger did he raise his head to look at the photo of him and Lin Zhi on the wall.


    Anger, regret, unworthiness ¡­


    Lin Zhi, this is the woman you want to marry.

 C22 Internet War of Words

    After Lin Zhi''s video of him buying a house spread out, Ye Qiao who never surfed the internet also started to pay attention to some of the reports and posts on the web. On the web, the people''s opinions on Lin Zhi were different, some were defending him, some were discrediting them, and some were discrediting them. Ye Qiao skimmed through the posts that could be left as comments, defending Lin Zhi with loyal fans, he would never believe that Lin Zhi would always support him when he kills people, but there were also some neutral parties that could not bear to see this, so what if he bought a house, he can''t afford to buy a house for himself anymore? " As for the rest, it was just a smudge. If he was agitated for a minute, he would be able to type out a comment on the forum.


    Lin Zhi must have earned all the money from buying the house by selling his ass, hahaha.


    The old man who brought Lin Zhi up should be fat and old, and his size should also be small. Could he satisfy Lin Tian Wang?


    Your idol has already sold his butt to the prison, and you still have the face to be blind here. It would be better to gather some money to post a message to find someone to bring your idol back early, so that he won''t die and become a ghost that won''t come back, hahahahaha.


    Do not be afraid of others saying that you will be taken care of by an old man for the sake of money. After becoming popular, you want to kick him away. How can there be such a cheap thing in this world? Those who sell their butts will always sell their butts, and will never be able to wash them clean in this life. I hereby call for everyone to boycott Lin Zhi, for Lin Zhi to get the hell out of the Ye City!


    # Boycott Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi will scram out of the Ye City! #


    "..."


    They did not care about the current Lin Zhi''s life or death, and instead shouted at him to get out of the Ye City. The number of people numbered in the tens of thousands, and it was enough to tell that people were cold and warm-hearted. Most of the people in the world loved to beat people up when they were down, so even Ye Qiao, who was usually indifferent to public opinion, felt uncomfortable when he saw this.


    "What are you looking at?" It was unknown when Qiu Xiangyang had entered the living room, but after putting down the two bags of fresh vegetables and fruits in his hands, he walked behind Ye Qiao and looked at the contents of the computer, after which he reached out and clicked his mouse to log in, entering his account number into the message board to speak, "These people only have good mouths on the internet, they could kill people with their curses, but in reality, they don''t even dare fart. That''s why I have to teach them a lesson sometimes, even if I can''t just watch them, I have to teach them a lesson."


    When Ye Qiao saw Qiu Xiangyang striking back at him, he only chose to reply with the messages he left behind to curse Lin Zhi for dying and for getting out of the Ye City, "Having quality? "If you don''t have any morals, get the hell back to your mother''s womb and reinvent yourself," said Lin Zhi. "Lin Zhi stole your girlfriend or slept with your wife, so she better be careful or else she''ll end up single for the rest of her life."


    "Are you young or not?" Ye Qiao frowned.


    "No matter what, I have met Lin Zhi a few times, and now that he is missing and we do not know if he is dead or alive, I can''t do anything, I can only argue with him." Qiu Xiangyang shrugged his shoulders, went to the table and organized the two bags of items he had bought: "Lin Zhi has a good reputation in the circle, if there was a chance, I would cooperate with him, but unfortunately ¡­"


    Listening to Qiu Xiangyang''s chatter, when Ye Qiao went back to browse the web, he found that Qiu Xiangyang''s account did not leave, and there were still more internet water soldiers below who were cursing and insulting Lin Zhi, thus ¡ª


    Ye Qiao looked at Qiu Xiangyang who was peeling vegetables, and seeing that he did not notice his, he extended his hand out and typed a line of words on the keyboard.


    "Don''t say that. Scram."


    After spending more than half an hour online, when Ye Qiao was preparing to turn off his computer to train his calligraphy skills, he suddenly saw an account wearing a lady''s vest replying all the messages about being scolded, with one sentence being taken, and another was scolded. A lot of people who were online had replied back, but their fighting strength was not as strong as the lady''s vest.


    Lin Zhi is not something you fools can scold.


    Seeing this scene, the first thought that came to Ye Qiao''s mind was that this person''s fighting skills were much better than Qiu Xiangyang''s, and next, Ye Qiao felt that this person must know Lin Zhi, if not he would not be so righteous when cursing.


    But who could this person be?


    At this moment, Yuan Dinng Entertainment Company.


    After assaulting the water armies who had insulted Lin Zhi, when Xiang Pinng browsed back through the threads, he discovered an account that was the same as him. There were many times that he would leave messages to counter attack the water armies, speaking up for Lin Zhi. Xiang Pinng could not help but click on the man''s profile picture that was called "Mr. Qiu". The information showed that he was from Ye City and was in the movie industry, so there was no other news. Xiang Pinng thought for a while, then without further ado, he left a message for Mr. Qiu, thanking him for speaking up for Lin Zhi.


    "Ding dong ~ ~"


    Just as he was about to close the message box, a message box popped out on the web page. Opening it to check the contents, he found that it was a message from the lady who helped Lin Zhi scold a large group of people.


    Thank you.


    The corner of his mouth raised slightly, but he quickly returned to normal. Ye Qiao went offline, got up and went to the living room to throw a few fish food into the fish bowl, then went back to the courtyard to write his brush.

 C23 Address Anastomosis

    Lu¡¯s Group.


    There was a man and woman who had the most active IDs. One of them had directly scolded the troll army, but did not dare reply while scolding them. The other one was original, no matter how much Lin Zhi scolded him, he would always say, "Don''t say it, scram". Lu Jinghuan found it very interesting, and had his secretary, Hee Mu, check out these two IDs.


    "Dong Dong Dong ¡ª"


    "Come in."


    "President Lu, the technical department of the company has found the location." Hee Mu handed over the documents in his hands to Lu Jinghuan: "The name of the armor came from Liang Quan Dao No. 58, and the other came from the Feng Ting International Villa Area, Dragon North Road."


    Lu Jinghuan took the document and took a look at it.


    Hee Mu explained: "It''s the address of the Yuan Dinng Entertainment Company."


    Yuan Cauldron Entertainment?


    Lu Jinghuan squinted his eyes but did not say anything.


    "President Lu, although this person is donned in female armor, is it possible that he is Lin Zhi''s previous manager?"


    "Why do you say that?"


    "Ever since Lin Zhi''s incident had happened, Xiang Pinng had been making appeals on his behalf and had always told the outside world that Lin Zhi was innocent." Hee Mu said, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, he looked up at Lu Jinghuan and said: "President Lu still remembers the ceremony, right? Originally, Lin Zhi relied on the film he was filming to win the Shadow Emperor Awards, but because of the scandal that broke, the organization committee decided to disqualify Lin Zhi and gave him the award. At that time, Xiang Pinng was also at the ceremony, and when he heard that the Shadow Emperor had given the award to another person, he immediately brought his artiste and left the venue, bringing about a big commotion."


    "It is not uncommon for artistes to be disqualified due to the scandal. For Xiang Pinng to protect Lin Zhi, it must be an occasion."


    "Although what you said was true, but Xiang Pinng still claimed that he did not do anything wrong when he was interviewed by the media. This prize should be given to Lin Zhi."


    "This person is quite interesting." Lu Jinghuan set the documents aside and continued working on the task at hand. "Has there been any activity with Qiu Xiangyang recently?"


    Hee Mu shook his head: "Last week, he did not appear again, but this is not strange. If Nan Ye does not agree to give him the novel''s authorization, he will not be able to make a movie, even if he comes here everyday."


    "You''ve underestimated him. As long as Nan Ye has not made up his mind, he will never give up. This is the attitude of these people towards art." As Lu Jinghuan spoke, he seemed to recall something. He looked at Hee Mu who was standing in front of the desk and asked, "Have you found out the background of the person who met Nan Ye last time?"


    "According to Nan Ye''s daughter, that person is called Ye Qiao. I sent people to investigate and didn''t find anything."


    "What do you mean you didn''t find anything?"


    "It''s just that there''s no household registration, and I''m unable to find the source of the identity. It''s as if he appeared out of thin air."


    A strange look flashed through his black eyes. Lu Jinghuan continued to ask, "Is it possible that he''s from another province?"


    "It''s also possible." Hee Mu asked: "President Lu, do you want me to check again?"


    "No need, I''m not interested to know who he is. I only want his address. Have you found out?"


    "I asked Nan Ye''s daughter about it, but..."


    "Where?"


    "In the Fengting International Villa District on Dragon North Road, which is the address of the man''s waistcoat from the two IDs you asked me to investigate."


    Lu Jinghuan squinted, and did not express any opinions.


    Hee Mu observed Lu Jinghuan''s expression and asked carefully: "President Lu, do you think that the other one is Ye Qiao?"


    Could it be him?


    The corner of Lu Jinghuan''s mouth lifted, feeling that this matter was becoming more and more interesting.

 C24 Find a Job

    The Water Army scolded on the internet for a few days, but nobody was able to tell under whose name Lin Zhi had registered his house under. The scolding gradually stopped, and only a few people left cursed from time to time, but because there was no one who replied them, they all left.


    When he was about to pay the deposit, he realized that his bank card had been frozen. Ye Qiao thought that was wrong, he immediately used the phone on his bank card to assign the customer service, the customer service said that the account had been frozen a day ago, and the person who applied for the service was the person who opened the account ¡ª ¡ª


    Han Chao.


    If he was even able to freeze his bank card, then this husband and his wife must have made up their minds to find him.


    Of course, Ye Qiao would not take the initiative to contact the Ah Jiu and Han Chao just because of a bank card. Thinking back to the dynasty that he lived in, which nobleman or noble did not come to beg for his help with a million gold, how could he give up just for a mere million?


    After thinking about it, Ye Qiao turned his attention back to the Qiu Xiangyang who was playing with the dogs in the courtyard.


    Qiu Xiangyang had blamed him recently, he would not visit his home all day, but instead come here to avoid trouble because he was afraid that Ye Qiao would come by himself to talk to her, and the truth was that he wanted to avoid him. Just two days ago, Qiu Xiangyang had contracted some unknown disease and sent a dog to him. He said that it was some kind of fighting technique, with short legs and a coarse face, and he had a bitter look all day, acting whenever he sees someone, just like Qiu Xiangyang, who was not wary of him at all ¡ª


    The real reason why Ye Qiao hated that dog was because Qiu Xiangyang had given it a name that was completely unrelated to it.


    Rich and handsome.


    It was called ''Handsome''.


    "Stupid dog, come here." Ye Qiao stood by the door and called out for the fighting technique.


    The small French Bulldog was three months old, and because of its short legs, it looked like a lump of meat from afar. However, this small French Bulldog was extremely clever, upon hearing Ye Qiao call it, it immediately ran towards Ye Qiao disgracefully, rubbing its head against his foot, asking to be petted.


    Qiu Xiangyang was abandoned just like that, he stood up and coughed twice, then walked towards Ye Qiao.


    "Do you have any introductions of your work?"


    "Why are you asking this? You don''t lack money."


    "The bank card is frozen."


    "What?!"


    Ye Qiao withdrew his gaze from the rolling and acting cute small French Bulldog, and looked at Qiu Xiangyang who was a meter away from him: "The bank card has been frozen, I don''t have any money left, so I''m looking for a way to earn money."


    Qiu Xiangyang''s expression was dazed for a good while, and after he reacted, he confirmed once more: "Are you serious? You''re not lying to me?"


    Ye Qiao glanced at Qiu Xiangyang and turned to enter.


    "Ai ai ai ai, that''s not what I meant." Qiu Xiangyang quickly called out to Ye Qiao, "What do you want to do? Can''t I find a way to introduce him to you?"


    Ye Qiao''s footsteps paused, and he said with his back facing Qiu Xiangyang: "You don''t need to look at others'' expressions, do you?"


    "I do. Open your own store and be a boss."


    "¡­"


    "I was joking." Qiu Xiangyang smiled as he turned to face Ye Qiao. Looking at him, he said, "How about you wait a little longer, once I obtain Nan Ye''s novel authorization, you come and be my movie male lead. At that time, are you still afraid that you won''t have the money to earn?"


    Ye Qiao immediately rejected: "Not interested."


    Qiu Xiangyang rolled his eyes at Ye Qiao: "Right now, this is the best way to earn money, after you become famous, you don''t need to care about others'' faces, if you earn enough, you can set up your own company and take care of people.


    "It''s so easy, why don''t you do it?"


    "I... I don''t have the qualifications. If I had your face, I would have gone to film a movie a long time ago. "


    "Other than playing the part, everything else is fine."


    "So what if he''s a playboy? Isn''t he working hard to earn money too?"


    "So you don''t have any other job introductions?"


    If Qiu Xiangyang was really angered to death by Ye Qiao, he would definitely do some manual labor. He did not even bother to use such a good face or body. After thinking about it, Qiu Xiangyang decided not to go against him. In this period of time, Qiu Xiangyang knew what temper he had, as long as he made the decision, no one would be able to change anything.


    After thinking about it again, Qiu Xiangyang gave Ye Qiao a suggestion:


    Mintong Express was recruiting delivery people, and one of his employees was doing this part-time job right now.


    Ye Qiao listened and did not say a word.


    "You won''t be able to do this kind of hard work, why don''t you wait until I take care of Nan Ye''s side, when that time comes ¡­"


    "Help me contact him. I can start work tomorrow."


    "Am I hearing things?"


    Ye Qiao ignored Qiu Xiangyang and went straight back to his room.

 C25 Express Work

    The next morning, Qiu Xiangyang brought Ye Qiao to the door of the delivery area. The people who ran out to pick Ye Qiao up were under Qiu Xiangyang''s command, if they did not start working, they would find other businesses to earn money, and it just so happened that the delivery company was recruiting people. Qiu Xiangyang then called him and told him that his friend was looking for a job, and got Qiu Xiangyang to bring him over.


    "Guo Zi, over here." Qiu Xiangyang waved enthusiastically at Guo Qiming who was running over.


    Originally, Guo Qiming was in high spirits as he ran out to pick people up. After all, introducing someone as a worker to the company would earn him 200 yuan as well, so of course he would be happy to do such a good thing. However, when he arrived in front of Qiu Xiangyang, he immediately pulled Qiu Xiangyang to the side and whispered to him.


    "I say, Director Qiu, are you joking with us brothers? Do you want him to send a courier with you because people are so pleasing to the eyes?"


    "You think I want to?"


    "What is it?"


    Qiu Xiangyang chuckled at Ye Qiao, he raised his hands and wrapped them around Guo Qiming''s neck, lowering his neck, he turned his back and whispered into''s ears: "Let me tell you Guo Zi, I will send him off to you tomorrow, but honestly speaking, he is my new male lead, so you know what to do now?"


    "Still fixed?" Guo Qiming turned his head and looked at Ye Qiao with a peculiar expression, and then asked suspiciously: "You took me for a hidden rule?"


    Qiu Xiangyang''s face sank, "Despicable, what do you mean by ''unruly rules''? You knew me for the first time? Am I, Qiu Xiangyang, someone who has no morals?! "


    Guo Qiming shook his head honestly: "That''s not it."


    "Of course not!" Qiu Xiangyang pulled Guo Qiming closer and said, "Then do you know what to do?"


    "How? "Just follow me for a while and send it off. You didn''t even get a license for that movie of yours."


    "Kid, do you lack calcium in your brain stem? How can you say something like that?"


    "Alright, alright, what do you want me to do?"


    Qiu Xiangyang thought for a while, and said seriously: "How about this, you take this opportunity to train him. You do it yourself, and leave the rest to him. "


    Guo Qiming protested: Then what do I need to ask him to do? I might as well do the work of two people by myself, that way I can earn two sets of money!


    "These words hit the nail on the head. Guo Zi, you''re the one who sees the big picture." Qiu Xiangyang didn''t care about Guo Qiming''s protest after he finished speaking, he dragged him to Ye Qiao and gestured a "ok" pose, "Once you have settled this matter, you will follow Guo Zigong from now on. Guo Zizi''s skin is tough and tough, if you need anything in the future, just let him know, he can help you deal with it."


    "Director Qiu, this ¡­"


    "He seems to have something to say."


    "No, no, no. He''s happy to finally be able to solve a problem for the boss." Qiu Xiangyang grabbed Guo Qiming''s shoulders and held on tightly: "Right, Guo Zi?"


    Guo Qiming was grabbed so hard that his shoulder hurt, and he could only nod his head in agreement.


    Seeing the expressions of the two, Ye Qiao did not say anything.


    "Alright, that''s settled then." Qiu Xiangyang laughed twice, then released Guo Qiming to help pat off the dust on his shoulder: "I''ll pass the Ye to you, take good care of me, understand?"


    Guo Qiming hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes."


    "Can we start work now?" Ye Qiao asked.


    Guo Qiming was startled, he turned and looked at Qiu Xiangyang.


    "Ye asked you a question. Why are you looking at me?" Qiu Xiangyang indicated to Guo Qiming with a fake smile.


    "Open! Immediately!" After Guo Qiming finished speaking, he quickly escaped from under Qiu Xiangyang''s hands. He walked in front of Ye Qiao and stretched out his neck to size him up, still doubting whether Qiu Xiangyang was playing with him. After thinking for a bit, Guo Qiming asked, "The first three months are probationary periods, with a salary of two thousand months. When the probation period is over, I will give you five hundred and one gold, and your salary will increase to six thousand and one months. "Of course, let''s not talk about this for now. In short, it''s more or less like that. Are you sure you can do it?"


    Qiu Xiangyang knew that Guo Qiming was wrong, he had asked him to do odd jobs, not do long-term jobs. Ye Qiao still had to be the male lead of his new show, so he immediately opened his mouth to interrupt Guo Qiming: "Ye will only do it for one or two months, don''t try to get him into trouble with some subsidies ¡­"


    "Sure."


    Without waiting for Qiu Xiangyang to finish speaking, Ye Qiao followed him into the delivery room, leaving Qiu Xiangyang alone outside.


    followed right behind him. Guo Qiming would occasionally turn his head to glance at Ye Qiao, and if he bumped into him, Guo Qiming would look away from him with a silly smile, and continue walking forward.


    Guo Qiming first brought Ye Qiao to see the sector manager, and since the manager didn''t have any objections, Guo Qiming brought Ye Qiao to the express delivery warehouse to get familiar with the environment. After going around in such a large circle, Ye Qiao was more or less familiar with the environment, and felt that it was similar to the supply depot at the official transport terminal, just that it was more convenient here.


    Under Qiu Xiangyang''s instructions, Guo Qiming took care of Ye Qiao''s work as well. The place that was assigned to him was not big, and there were only a few streets in the city, and on top of that, there were not many small districts around the city, and the express delivery packages that were basically filled with documents from a few large companies. The workload was not too heavy and was rather light, so it was about the same as the employees of other companies.


    In order to ensure his safety, Guo Qiming had even brought the goods in early, loaded the parcels on the streets and brought Ye Qiao to take a look around. He only brought a few express delivery companies for him to look at, and when he came over tomorrow, he would know the way.


    "Hey, Ye, do you have a driver''s license?" Guo Qiming sent a courier back, while starting up the old master''s van that the company assigned to him, he asked Ye Qiao who had opened the door and came up: "If there is one, I will help you apply for a courier car. The gas company will pay for it, but if there is an accident, you will have to take responsibility for it yourself."


    "I can''t drive."


    "Oh, if that''s the case, then it''s fine. Anyway, these companies are giving you some small parts. You can just give them to them by bike, but you just need to get a little tired."


    "Right."


    remembered every single place he knew about Ye Qiao. Sitting in the car, he felt bored and couldn''t help but lower his window and look at the street across the street. The streets were bustling with people, just like the ones he passed by previously. Ye Qiao raised his eyes and looked at the company building across from him, and just at this time, a car stopped downstairs. The man sitting in the copilot car got off first and quickly went to the back to open the door.


    Although he only saw the back of the figure, Ye Qiao still could not help but look at him twice.


    "What are you looking at?" After Guo Qiming finished counting the list, he turned around to find Ye Qiao staring at the opposite street. He couldn''t help but extend his neck and size up the place as well: "Isn''t that Lu¡¯s Group?"


    Lu Li?


    The nightmare Cheng Wanzhen had brought to Lin Zhi was just too clear, to the point that when Ye Qiao heard someone mention the name "Lu", he would naturally think of the Wealthy Class that Cheng Wanzhen married into "Lu Family". Therefore, Ye Qiao had no choice but to withdraw his gaze from that figure.


    Lu¡¯s Group.


    Seeing Ye Qiao looking towards the Lu¡¯s Group, Guo Qiming thought Ye Qiao was interested in it and couldn''t help but say a few more words: "Speaking of this Lu Corporation, they actually didn''t send any express delivery today. Usually, the companies on these streets have a lot of express delivery, and sometimes, you even have to run around ten times a day to tire them to death."


    "Which Lu Family is this?"


    "Who else could it be? The Ye City only has one Lu Family, and that''s this house."


    "Will we run into their general manager when we send to them?"


    "Of course not, these jobs are done by the secretaries and assistants under their hands. Even if you want to meet the general manager of Lu¡¯s Group, you don''t have the chance." Halfway through his words, Guo Qiming suddenly felt that something was amiss, he turned to Ye Qiao and asked: "Ye, aren''t you asking this kind of question...? You have an ulterior motive, right? "


    Ye Qiao''s eyes turned cold, then without batting an eyelid, he closed the car window: "You''re thinking too much."


    He did not want to wade in, even if it was best if he did not see them.


    Guo Qiming scratched his head with a silly smile: "Don''t mind it, it''s just that when I''ve been with the Director Qiu for a long time my thoughts would start to wander. But then again, your own conditions are already so good that you''re here to deliver it, it''s really a waste."


    "There''s nothing to waste, just drive." Ye Qiao said calmly as he fastened his seatbelt.


    Guo Qiming laughed, then turned around and returned back to the section.


    On the other side.


    Lu Jinghuan suddenly stopped in his tracks when he was halfway up the stairs, Hee Mu who was behind him also stopped, and when he raised his head to look at Lu Jinghuan, he only saw him standing at his original spot for a few seconds before turning his head to look at the endless flow of traffic on the other side of the road.


    "President Lu, what''s wrong?"


    "Seems like ¡­"


    "Like what?"


    Lu Jinghuan swept a glance across the road, and didn''t see the gaze he expected, but turned his head after being silent for a bit, and said a "Nothing much" to Hee Mu before he continued to climb the stairs and enter the company''s main entrance.

 C26 Internet Dating

    Ye Qiao only had dinner with a bunch of colleagues, but did not go there. He secretly took out five hundred yuan and gave it to Guo Qiming, telling him to bring some people to sing "K", and went home alone.


    When the taxi stopped in front of the house, the small French Bulldog that was originally sleeping on the stairs heard the noise, and immediately shook its ears. It then used its forelegs to peek outside, and seeing that Ye Qiao had returned, it immediately ran down the stairs with its claws spread, jumping around Ye Qiao''s feet.


    Ye Qiao paid the driver and went back into the house while the small French Bulldog chased after him. When Ye Qiao took out the key to open the door, the small French Bulldog immediately ran to the shoe cabinet and used its strength to pick up Ye Qiao''s shoes and bring it to his feet. After changing his shoes, Ye Qiao fed the small French Bulldog food. The small French Bulldog did not eat, so it used its mouth to push the bowl of rice towards Ye Qiao''s feet, raising its head to look at him.


    This made Ye Qiao think of the wild fox that caused him to be struck by lightning.


    Ye Qiao calculated the time, the child in Ah Jiu''s stomach should already be a month old, and would be born in a dozen or so days.

    The protest from the small French Bulldog''s throat brought Ye Qiao back to reality. Ye Qiao lowered his head and looked at the small French Bulldog that was anxiously waiting for him, and after a few seconds of silence, he bent down to pick up the bowl of rice and walked into the hall.


    Seeing that Ye Qiao was not leaving, the small French Bulldog looked up in relief and buried its face in the bowl to eat food. Ye Qiao looked at the lump of meat beside his feet, he did not know since when this lump of meat had started to like sticking onto him. He always stayed by his side when he ate and slept, so long as he was not around, it would not eat at all.


    This was much better than the wild fox that ran away after eating it.


    The small French Bulldog ate slowly, so Ye Qiao sat down and poured some fish food into the fish tank. Then, he turned on the computer and looked at the post office that was related to Lin Zhi.


    Ever since the last war of words, there were almost no replies to the thread below, Ye Qiao had not been up for a few days and only had about 10 or so replies. Whether it was cursing or mocking, none of the netizens replied back, so this post tower was deserted ¡­ Ye Qiao saw that it was boring and was about to turn off the computer to go take a bath when the mailbox symbol on the web page suddenly lit up.


    Ye Qiao looked at the login above, and realized that Qiu Xiangyang''s account had left a message for him, thus the computer automatically recorded his account number and password, and directly logged onto the web page. Initially, he had wanted to directly close the web page and log off, but after a few consecutive messages from the other party, the mailbox emblem flashed again and again. Just as Ye Qiao clicked on Freshness, a dialog box popped up.


    It''s a J. A message from H ''s female vest.


    Ye Qiao skimmed through the three messages on the board, the first one was to greet ''Hello'', the second one was to introduce himself, the third one was to announce their purpose for coming here, and to directly say that she was interested in Ye Qiao after reading the replies made by Ye Qiao, so she wanted to add him as a friend to her, and chat and exchange views with him whenever she was free.


    Seeing his third request to exchange views, Ye Qiao immediately thought of a word that Qiu Xiangyang had told him a few days ago:


    Internet Cannon.


    Without thinking any further, Ye Qiao tapped on the fork at the upper right corner of the dialog box without hesitation and closed the conversation. Afterwards, he turned off his computer and went upstairs to take a bath. The small French Bulldog at the side was eating its food, suddenly feeling that the shadow around it had disappeared, it immediately raised its head and looked around, and seeing that Ye Qiao had walked away, it did not even care about the food in the bowl, it immediately started chasing after him.

 C27 Internal Usurpation

    The three messages were all displayed as read, but after Lu Jinghuan sat in front of the computer and waited for around five to six minutes, there was no reply, so the results were already obvious.


    Seeing the message in the dialog box that was like a stone sinking into the ocean, Lu Jinghuan couldn''t help but smile ¡ª ¡ª


    He really was an interesting person.


    "Dong Dong Dong ¡­"


    There was a knock on the door.


    Lu Jinghuan closed the computer in front of him and looked towards the door: "Come in."


    The door opened, and Cheng Wanzhen stood at the entrance while smiling at Lu Jinghuan: "The meal is about to start, Zhenrong asked me to come over and call you down."


    "Zhenrong" was the name of Lu Jinghuan''s father, which meant that he was the person who truly held control of the entire Lu¡¯s Group. When he was young, he could shake the business world, and was a very well-known person, but Elder Lin had entered into the flower bush, married a woman who was around the same age as his own son, and returned with a new brother. This caused a huge sensation in the entire Ye City.


    The last time Lu Jinghuan heard someone calling his father "Zhenrong" before he entered was when his mother was dying by his bedside. After that it stopped for a few years, Lu Zhenrong brought Cheng Wanzhen, who was already seven to eight months old, back home. From then on, the name "Zhenrong" was called again, and after this woman gave birth to her son, she completely settled herself in the position of Mrs Lu.


    sat down and did not move, but Cheng Wanzhen smiled and walked over to him.


    "Your dad and brother are both in the living room. It''s rare for you to come back, aren''t you going to talk to them?"


    "Aren''t you supposed to be good at this?"


    "It''s been almost two years, and you still think of me as an outsider?" Cheng Wanzhen walked to the desk and stopped, she glanced at the computer in front of Lu Jinghuan, then turned away and smiled gently: "Speaking of this, it''s been a long time since you''ve been back, but your dad still has a servant coming over to clean every day, I hope that you can move back one day."


    Lu Jinghuan placed the computer into a drawer in front of Cheng Wanzhen, locked it, and did not pull out the key. "It''s fine for me to live here by myself, I can be at ease with the people here having you to take care of them."


    Cheng Wanzhen laughed, and then shifted her gaze back onto Lu Jinghuan: "Since you''re not willing to move back, then I won''t say anymore, but it''s rare for you to come back, it''s better if you go down and have a good dinner with your father, don''t make him unhappy again."


    Lu Jinghuan laughed, without saying a word, he got up and took his suit jacket and headed to the door.


    After laughing, he followed Lu Jinghuan out of the study. Just as he was about to close the door, his gaze subconsciously fell on the table where Lu Jinghuan locked his computer, and after a few seconds, he closed the door and followed Lu Jinghuan downstairs for dinner.


    "Eldest Young Master, Madam."


    "Sister Zhang, have you finished making the porridge for the young lord?"


    "Alright, should we bring it up now?"


    "Yeah, I don''t have a good stomach these few days. I just want some porridge for dinner." Cheng Wanzhen instructed the servant: "Then go and fill a bowl for me, let''s warm up your stomach a little."


    The servant then went to the kitchen. Cheng Wanzhen turned around and saw that Lu Zhenrong and Lu Jinghuan had both sat down at the dining table, she pretended to smile embarrassedly and walked to the left side of Lu Zhenrong, which was the seat opposite him. She then placed the spread out cloth under Lu Zhenrong''s plate and asked, "Jinghuan rarely comes back to eat dinner, why are you not talking anymore?"


    The father and son duo still did not speak as the atmosphere suddenly turned cold.


    Cheng Wanzhen laughed, then took out a cup of wine and poured it for Lu Zhenrong, then stood up and walked towards Lu Jinghuan.


    "He still has to drive back, so don''t pour him a drink." Lu Zhenrong spoke up in a timely manner, his tone slightly stiff but it was still hard to conceal the concern he had for his eldest son.


    "It''s alright, Hee Mu sent me here."


    "Then... Pour some for him. "


    With that said, the father and son duo no longer held their ground, and the atmosphere at the table immediately became a lot better.


    Cheng Wanzhen immediately went over to pour wine in Lu Jinghuan''s red wine cup. After that, he placed the winebottle on a shelf and returned to her seat to tease her one-year-old son. She then listened to Lu Zhenrong and Lu Jinghuan, the father and son, chatting non-stop.


    Lu Zhenrong cut a piece of beef and placed it in his mouth. After chewing a few times, he asked, "Has the work you''re doing been going smoothly recently?"


    "Hm, not bad." Lu Jinghuan replied as he sliced the steak, "Last month, you added a few more projects, the development prospects are all pretty good. Tomorrow, I will ask Hee Mu to send the documents over for you to see."


    "No need." Lu Zhenrong rejected him flatly: "Since this project was signed under your hand, then there won''t be any problems. You can handle it, there''s no need for Hee Mu to send the documents over to me."


    Lu Jinghuan nodded and did not say a word.


    At this time, a servant brought a bowl of porridge over to Cheng Wanzhen, who after receiving it, began feeding it to his son. Originally, he did not plan to participate in the conversation between the father and son, but who knew that because of Lu Jinghuan''s sudden silence, Lu Zhenrong had turned his attention to her.


    "By the way, you were the one who talked about the matter of the vacation area. What''s the situation like now?"


    "I am negotiating with Liang Binngtian already, I believe it won''t be long before I sign the contract."


    "Almost done?" Lu Zhenrong frowned: "Liang Binngtian has always wanted to take advantage of my holiday village. He agreed to sell the land to our company so easily?"


    Cheng Wanzhen was startled by Lu Zhenrong''s question, and immediately became speechless.


    Lu Zhenrong saw that the things that happened were not as simple as it seemed, he looked at Lu Jinghuan who was sitting on the other side of the table and asked: "Jinghuan, what do you think about the development of the resort?"


    Lu Jinghuan put down the red wine in his hand, glanced at Cheng Wanzhen, and replied without batting an eye: "Right now, everything is empty, we still have to first buy the land from Liang Binngtian. As for how to buy it, Liang Binngtian is a businessman with a mercenary side, as long as we can give him conditions that will satisfy his appetite, he has no reason to refuse."


    "Satisfy his appetite?" Lu Zhenrong was suspicious.


    "That''s impossible, Liang Binngtian wants 50% of the vacation area. If we really want to give him that, then we will only get half of the rights to manage the vacation area." Cheng Wanzhen immediately rejected Lu Jinghuan''s suggestion: "This will not benefit our company."


    "We are willing to give it to him. He has to have the courage to take it." Lu Jinghuan said slowly.


    Cheng Wanzhen was about to refute him, but was swept by Lu Zhenrong''s gaze. She could not help but shut her mouth, and sat on the side, not daring to make a sound. Seeing that Cheng Wanzhen had calmed down, Lu Zhenrong turned his gaze back to Lu Jinghuan and asked: "You have a way to settle this?"


    Lu Jinghuan laughed, then looked at Cheng Wanzhen: "This is the development plan that the President Cheng is in charge of, it''s not good for me to point fingers."


    "As long as it''s good for the company, it doesn''t matter who gets the development plan."


    Once Lu Zhenrong said that, Cheng Wanzhen''s face turned ugly, he anxiously said: "Zhenrong, I have already sent people to follow up on this matter, and will get Liang Binngtian to sign it soon, so..."


    "If the people you have under your command could get Liang Binngtian to sign the contract, the vacation area wouldn''t have to wait for half a year for the contract to be completed!"


    "Zhenrong..."


    "Alright, I have my own plans for this matter." Lu Zhenrong interrupted Cheng Wanzhen and turned to Lu Jinghuan, "I will leave the development of the vacation area to you. You must get Liang Binngtian to sign and sell the land as soon as possible."


    Lu Jinghuan nodded his head and laughed at Cheng Wanzhen, who was unsatisfied, and raised his wine cup to her.


    Originally, Cheng Wanzhen did not want to reply, but since Lu Zhenrong was looking at her, she had to put on an act, raise her wine cup towards Lu Jinghuan, and then slowly drink it.


    Lu Jinghuan laughed, and after drinking a mouthful of wine, he continued to eat his dinner.

 C28 Express Boy

    After feeding the small French Bulldog and goldfish, Ye Qiao left home at 6: 30 AM. He walked to the opposite side of the road and took a bus to the express delivery area. Just as he was getting on the car, Ye Qiao received a missed call. As the driver was urging him to pay, Ye Qiao turned on the loudspeaker on his mobile phone, took out three coins from his pocket and threw them into the slot, and just as Ye Qiao was stuffing the third coin in, a long ''Ye'' sound came out from the speaker, causing Ye Qiao''s action to shake, and the coin rolled out through the gap of the door.


    At that moment, Ye Qiao did not need to turn his head to know that he was being looked at by the people in the carriage.


    "The loss of the coin doesn''t count. You have to refund it." The driver looked at Ye Qiao with a complicated expression and reminded.


    Ye Qiao frowned, he turned off the speaker, took out a coin from his pocket and threw it in, after that he went to the back and found a seat to sit down, which attracted the attention of others.


    "Ye, why aren''t you saying anything?"


    "You''d better explain how you got my number."


    [This ¡­ I asked Guo Zi for it.]


    "Guo Zi?"


    "Didn''t you leave a phone number when you were looking for a job...?"


    Clenching his teeth, Ye Qiao tried his best to remain calm: "What''s the matter?"


    [Nothing much, just a little concern...]


    Before Qiu Xiangyang could finish his words of ''concern'', Ye Qiao had already hung up and dragged Qiu Xiangyang''s phone number into the black list. After everything was done, he leaned on the window of the car to take a nap, and the entire world became quiet.


    After swaying for more than half an hour, the bus stopped in front of the express delivery area''s entrance. Ye Qiao got off the bus, and directly went to the warehouse to count the express delivery packages, separating the luggage from the documents. The bus had one side of the truck to pack the package boxes, and the other side to pack the documents.


    Because Guo Qiming had brought him to run around once yesterday, Ye Qiao was no stranger to his area. Very quickly, he delivered the packages to the recipient. However, what made Ye Qiao uncomfortable was that every single time he entered a company to deliver a courier, the men, women and children there would stare at him strangely, and wherever he went, Ye Qiao wondered if he had walked out undressed.


    Many young ladies in the company were jealous of him, and from the moment he entered the door, they had been chasing him with their eyes. They were too eager for him to take off his clothes and walk around, and they even counted how many abs were on their stomachs. Was the fish line up to the standard? Were their butts perky ¡­ The most important thing was, was it that it was just as forbidden inside as it was outside.


    When Ye Qiao finished sending off the express messages, the little girls all stuck on the windowpanes to send him out of the company''s main entrance.


    The remaining stack of documents in the car were sent to Lu¡¯s Group, so Ye Qiao did not intentionally keep them for last, because Lu¡¯s Group was the farthest thing out, and there were also the most documents to be delivered. As a result, by the time he had arrived at Lu¡¯s Group door, it was already almost 9 o''clock, and the financial department''s supervisor had also made a lot of calls to urge him.


    "Why did it arrive so late, do you know that these documents are all wanted by the President Lu, how are you responsible for delaying the time in the President Lu?!" The Chief of the Finance Department was cursing Ye Qiao as he opened the courier and counting for him to sign on one hand. As he raised his eyes, he saw the employees under him looking at them through the transparent glass. It was as if they had never seen a man before, they were all staring at him with hunger in their eyes. The supervisor held up the glasses and immediately walked to the window, pulling down the curtain. After forcing everyone to go back to work, he turned and looked at Ye Qiao snappily: "Newcomer?"


    Ye Qiao ''En''. He did not say anything else.


    The supervisor saw that Ye Qiao was rather obedient and did not seem like he was the type to lure away the girls and employees under his command. Only then did his expression turned slightly better, and he took the receipt from Ye Qiao and signed it before handing it to him: "Your previous few delivery boys all knew what was important, as long as it was the Lu Family''s express delivery, it would be handled first. I also know that the Lu family is far away, but it''s the same if we come here first and then return to send them off. This ¡­ Do you understand? "


    Ye Qiao did not say anything, but the supervisor thought Ye Qiao had agreed and waved him away.


    "Wait ¡­" Just as Ye Qiao was about to leave, the supervisor suddenly called out to him, turned around and stuffed a stack of documents into his hands: "This, please help me deliver it to the General Manager''s Secretariat at the top floor, it''s hard on you."


    "This doesn''t conform with the rules." Ye Qiao said calmly.


    The supervisor turned around and looked at Ye Qiao again after pausing for a few seconds, as if he was looking at an alien. He looked at Ye Qiao from head to toe, and then said unhappily: "This is not against the rules, your delivery company gets a lot of business from our company, not to mention the few courier guys from before who did the same thing. It''s just helping you run some errands, isn''t it?"


    "Use the word ''please'' if you want to help me."


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he returned the documents to the supervisor, who walked out of the office. The supervisor was so angry that his face and neck turned red, and just as he was about to teach Ye Qiao a lesson, the supervisor opened the door and saw that it was blocked by a lot of employees.


    ''Bang! ''


    The door was slammed, and it was obvious how angry the supervisor was.


    "You must be a new delivery boy. That''s the temper of our supervisor. You don''t have to bother with him."


    "Yeah, at most he would yell at you, but no matter how serious it is, you just have to make a phone call and complain. But it doesn''t matter, we''ll call you to negotiate, and then we''ll tell you that your attitude is correct, and that you''ve served us well ¡­"


    "You must be Mingtong''s courier boy right? I''ve already sent you all my coupons from now on. Let''s meet more."


    "Lil ''Bro, what''s your number? Leave one for me to tell you to come over later for express delivery?"


    "Give me one too."


    "..."


    Surrounded by a group of women, it wasn''t easy for Ye Qiao to get out from the Finance Department. Just as he was about to take the elevator down, a girl ran over to ask him to send her a message. Ye Qiao gave the girl to fill out the form as if he was serious about his work.


    "Little Brother, what''s your surname?"


    "Ye-zi."


    "Your surname is pretty nice. In the future, are you going to care about receiving express delivery here?"


    "Right."


    "Lil ''Bro Ye, this document of mine is pretty important, so can you give me your phone number? If anything happens, I can easily contact you."


    Previously, when many people asked for his number, Ye Qiao did not give it to them, so he was no exception. Furthermore, Ye Qiao saw that the Finance Department was crowded with many people looking at him from all over, and this made the matter clear. It was probably because he had made a bet with them, and bet that they could get her number.


    After seeing everything, Ye Qiao did not make a sound, and waited for the girl to fill out the delivery order before giving her the number. After that, he took the delivery bag and walked towards the elevator, and when the girl realized that the number was missing and turned around to chase him, the elevator door had already opened, and Ye Qiao immediately entered the elevator, and when the girl caught up, she could only watch as the elevator door closed.


    After shaking off the other party, just as Ye Qiao was about to press the button to go down, he realized that the elevator was heading up, and at this time, he felt a deep hostility coming from behind him.


    "Which department are you from? Don''t you know that this elevator is exclusive to the general manager?"


    As expected, an unfriendly voice came from behind.

 C29 Meeting on a Narrow Path

    Hearing the words "general manager", Ye Qiao knew who else was standing in the elevator, so he didn''t make a sound. He held his delivery bag and moved towards the elevator''s entrance, trying his best to not occupy their position and avoid making any contact with them.


    "I''m asking you a question, did you not hear me?"


    "A courier."


    Ye Qiao replied in a flat tone. He extended his hand to press the button for the elevator, but in the next second, Hee Mu grabbed his arm without saying a word and tightened his grip. Ye Qiao did not turn back, his finger that was pressing the button paused slightly, and then he maintained this posture as he stood at the entrance of the elevator.


    Hee Mu was already impatient: "What are you doing?"


    "Didn''t you tell me to go out?"


    "It''s to get you out, but not now. You can''t delay President Lu any longer."


    "Only two or three seconds."


    Hee Mu did not say anything, and the hand holding Ye Qiao''s arm grew heavier again.


    Ye Qiao raised his other hand to press the brim of his hat, he then turned and glanced at Hee Mu''s hand that was on his arm, the expression under the brim of the hat was slightly cold, exuding a terrifying cold aura, and in the next second, Ye Qiao''s hand that was on the brim of the hat suddenly grabbed onto the back of Hee Mu''s hand, using a little strength on his thumb at the center of the tiger''s mouth, Hee Mu felt as though he was stung, and immediately released his hand.


    Ye Qiao bent down to pick up the express delivery bag, then pressed the button.


    Hee Mu wanted to stop him, but he was stopped by Lu Jinghuan who stood behind him. Hee Mu turned his head, only to see Lu Jinghuan shaking his head, indicating him not to act rashly.


    "Ding ~"


    Just then, the elevator door opened. Ye Qiao walked out with the express delivery bag in his hand and took the public elevator down.


    When the elevator door closed, Hee Mu could not help but ask, "President Lu, that brat just now ¡­"


    "Forget it, it''s just a slight delay." Lu Jinghuan said calmly.


    Seeing that Lu Jinghuan had stopped pursuing the matter, Hee Mu felt embarrassed to continue speaking. He stood beside Lu Jinghuan and waited for the elevator.


    Glancing at Hee Mu''s trembling hand, Lu Jinghuan asked: "How''s his hand?"


    Hee Mu slightly clenched his right hand, but because the pain had yet to completely subside, he trembled and drooped his hand. However, he concealed it with his mouth: "It''s alright, it''s just a little numb."


    Lu Jinghuan did not continue asking, looking at Hee Mu''s trembling hands, he turned his gaze towards the elevator and pressed the button, his black eyes narrowing a little.


    From the moment the delivery man entered the elevator, Lu Jinghuan had felt that the other person''s back was familiar, but as to where he was familiar with the details, he couldn''t remember for a while, and what caused Lu Jinghuan to pay attention to him was the look in his eyes that Hee Mu accidentally revealed when he reached out to grab''s arm.


    Cold, sharp, and terrifying.


    It was as if he was going to kill someone in the next second.


    This was also why Lu Jinghuan stopped Hee Mu from attacking again in the elevator.


    Because Hee Mu was not that person''s opponent.


    Ye Qiao went down from the public elevator to the main hall. Just as he was walking towards the main entrance, he brushed shoulders with a woman, and in that instant, Ye Qiao felt a familiar feeling in his heart, and immediately stopped.


    At the same time, the woman who passed by Ye Qiao also stopped and turned to look at him.


    Ye Qiao stood in his spot for a few seconds, then started to walk towards the big gate, without any hesitation.


    "What''s wrong, President Cheng?"


    "That person ¡­"


    "He is wearing the clothes of a courier. He should be here to deliver a courier."


    The secretary guessed as he saw a tall figure walking out of the company''s entrance.


    "Maybe." "Yes," Cheng Wanzhen replied, but she still felt that the figure looked familiar, after thinking about it for a bit, she felt that it was impossible. That person had already disappeared, and even if she was lucky enough to survive the explosion, she should have been burnt to the ground by then, and wouldn''t be able to enter and exit this place unharmed. Furthermore, she had been wanted by the police in Ye City, and he was never the bravest one, so that person definitely wasn''t him ¡­ Thinking about it, Cheng Wanzhen turned his back on Ye Qiao and walked towards the elevator with the secretary.

 C30 Female Initiative

    General Manager''s Office.


    "Go and hand this document over to Vice President Liu, he will arrange for us to contact Liang Binngtian."


    "Yes, but President Cheng ¡­" You won''t let it go so easily, right? "


    "Don''t worry about her. Do as I say."


    "Got it."


    Just as Lu Jinghuan finished giving orders, a ruckus came from outside the door, and in the next second, his office door was opened by someone. Cheng Wanzhen and her secretary were standing outside the door.


    The assistant quickly bent down and apologized, "I''m sorry President Lu, I couldn''t stop you, so ¡­"


    Lu Jinghuan handed the documents over to Hee Mu: "You can leave first."


    "Yes, President Lu." Hee Mu took the documents and walked out of the office. As he passed by Cheng Wanzhen, he bowed and signalled to him with a nod, then ordered his secretary to go out as well. When all the people who were not related to him had left, Cheng Wanzhen entered Lu Jinghuan''s office and closed the door.


    Lu Jinghuan looked up at the incoming Cheng Wanzhen, and then lowered his head to continue working on the task at hand: What business do you have with me?


    "How do you plan to talk to Liang Binngtian?"


    "This is my problem, I do not need President Cheng to worry."


    "What if I become your middleman and let you meet with Liang Binngtian?"


    Cheng Wanzhen said as she stood opposite of Lu Jinghuan.


    Lu Jinghuan''s hands paused slightly, and after pausing for a few seconds, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Wanzhen: "What benefits do you want from me?"


    "In the end, we are family too. Why do you have to be so clear about each other?" Cheng Wanzhen felt uncomfortable from Lu Jinghuan''s overly direct words, and the smile on his face could not stay on his face.


    Lu Jinghuan laughed, then lowered his head and signed the document: "Even brothers have to account clearly, furthermore you and I are not really related, so instead of discussing whether or not our family should be split up, let alone your conditions, this way we won''t waste each other''s time."


    Cheng Wanzhen''s expression changed, but quickly recovered back to normal. Looking at Lu Jinghuan who was in charge of all this, he laughed: "Since you insist on dividing the spoils so clearly, then I''ll just say it straight off, I want to take down the piece of land in the ferry village with you."


    Lu Jinghuan laughed: "Is it because you can arrange for me to meet with Liang Binngtian?"


    "Of course not." Cheng Wanzhen handed a folder in her hands to Lu Jinghuan: "After you see it, you will understand that my requirements are not excessive."


    Lu Jinghuan glanced at the folder, and then smiled as he received it. He flipped through a few pages, and his black eyes slightly narrowed.


    "There are a few people who don''t know what kind of methods Liang Binngtian has used to make his fortune these past few years, but because he can''t get the evidence, no one can do anything to him." Cheng Wanzhen pointed to the document in Lu Jinghuan''s hand: This is the proof that I sent people to look for, it is something that the people who have interacted with Liang Binngtian previously gave me, with this, Liang Binngtian will not lower his head.


    Lu Jinghuan pondered for a moment, then raised his head to look at Cheng Wanzhen: "Since you already have evidence of Liang Binngtian''s crimes, why don''t you directly use it to make a deal with him, and instead cooperate with me?"


    Cheng Wanzhen laughed, "You and I both know who Liang Binngtian is. If I were to take this and go find him by myself, let alone being unable to take down that piece of land, even my safety would become a problem. I''m not that foolish to come knocking on your door to die."


    "Then why did you look for me?"


    "With someone to discuss it with, things will be much easier, won''t they?"


    Lu Jinghuan laughed and did not answer.


    Cheng Wanzhen walked closer to Lu Jinghuan and leaned on the desk, looking at him with a smile that was not a smile: "I know you don''t like me as your stepmother, but I have already been in the Lu Family for more than a year and have become slightly closer to your father. Even if you don''t care about me, but for your father''s sake, we should still get along well."


    "It does sound reasonable." Lu Jinghuan got up from the chair, took his suit jacket and walked towards the door: "But I have never been easily persuaded by anyone, especially when my stepmother has other intentions."


    "Lu Jinghuan!" Cheng Wanzhen''s face changed, and she immediately called out to Lu Jinghuan.


    Lu Jinghuan''s footsteps stuttered, his lips curled slightly, but he did not turn around to look at Cheng Wanzhen: "Is there anything else, stepmother?"


    "I''ve already said all that I wanted to say, why didn''t you give me a chance?"


    "Mrs Lu, such words can easily make people misunderstand, what''s more, without me at Lu Family, this Mrs Lu of yours would be more at ease."


    "You know that''s not what I mean."


    "You shouldn''t be too greedy, Mrs Lu."


    "You''re not greedy, do you dare to say that you''ve never thought of taking your father''s place?"


    "I am his own son, so anything I do is natural. But you are different." Lu Jinghuan put on his suit jacket and tied the buttons one by one: "Also, I''m not my father, so I don''t like women who are too active."


    The last sentence, made Cheng Wanzhen so angry that her face flushed red.

 C31 Internet-addicted Young Women

    After running for a whole day and sending them all back home, the small French Bulldog still greeted its master outside. It shook its head and waved its tail, circling around Ye Qiao''s feet. Ye Qiao squatted down and touched the small French Bulldog''s head. Just as he was about to carry it in, he saw that Qiu Xiangyang was waiting at his gate with two bags of stuff. Seeing that he had returned, he even raised the bag in his hands.


    Ye Qiao carried the small French Bulldog and went over to open the door. "Why are you here again?"


    "Aren''t I here to celebrate your first day of construction?" As Qiu Xiangyang said this, he took out a bag of things and presented it to Ye Qiao: "This is the crab porridge and stir-fried flower armor bought by Yao Ji from South of the City. There are a lot of people recommending this shop on the internet, they all say that it''s delicious, so I intentionally bought some for you to taste, smell it, does it smell good?"


    Ye Qiao did not react, but the small French Bulldog could no longer hold back and kept moving closer to the bag. Qiu Xiangyang used his free fingers to poke the small French Bulldog''s head, and continued to mutter into Ye Qiao''s ear with a smile. Ye Qiao ignored him and carried the small French Bulldog into the house.


    "Is the first day of work going smoothly?" Qiu Xiangyang invited himself in, but because Ye Qiao only had a pair of slippers in his house, every time he entered, he would cover his legs with a plastic bag, and made noises as he walked: "Guo, did you get a easier job? "If he makes things difficult for you, you tell me and I''ll get even with him tomorrow."


    "I''m going to take a bath."


    "Where are the customers? Are they in a difficult situation ¡­"


    Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Qiao suddenly turned and stared straight at his feet. "Hehe," Qiu Xiangyang laughed foolishly and immediately took his right foot off the stairs, while holding his bag he took two steps back and laughed: "I''ll go feed Gao Fujun."


    Ye Qiao did not utter a word. He waited for Qiu Xiangyang to tactfully carry the things to the living room before going upstairs to take a bath.


    Qiu Xiangyang placed the bag on the table and poured the dog food for the small French Bulldog, then squatted beside it and watched it eat. However, the small French Bulldog looked left and right in search of something, but didn''t eat it. Qiu Xiangyang had no choice. He knew that this little thing was biased, it would not eat anything without waiting for Ye Qiao to take a bath, so he just sat down and chatted with it: "Handsome, do you think your master is rude?"


    The small French Bulldog shook its body and laid down beside the bowl.


    "Do you think he''s stubborn? If he doesn''t take the role of the movie''s male lead, he would just run off to do the job of a courier. He would run around endlessly, earning him several thousand yuan for his salary even after becoming a tired dog."


    "Gu Gu ¡­"


    "Right? You also think that my words are reasonable?"


    Qiu Xiangyang rubbed its head, and accompanied it to sit on the ground for a while. However, he did not see Ye Qiao finish showering or go downstairs, so he went to the living room to turn on the computer and check if there were still people who went upstairs.


    He opened a web page to log in, but discovered that his account was already logged in. Qiu Xiangyang thought about it, it should have been because he did not log out after logging in the last time, so he automatically logged in after opening the web page.


    "Ding dong ~ ~"


    The mailbox at the bottom right corner lit up, hinting that Qiu Xiangyang had information coming in.


    Qiu Xiangyang opened his private mail and two messages popped out. One of them was, "I offended you last time, sorry" and the second one was "Good evening, have you eaten dinner yet?" Seeing these two messages, Qiu Xiangyang subconsciously looked towards the stairs, afraid that Ye Qiao would come down and see these messages.


    After looking for a long time and seeing that Ye Qiao had come down, Qiu Xiangyang was finally at ease. H "s female vest head check data, age 28? As a young woman addicted to the internet, this was not bad. His place of residence was at the Ye City? So they were from the same city. That was rather convenient ¡­ After reading all the information provided by the other party, Qiu Xiangyang''s evaluation of "her" was ¡ª


    Keep a low profile.


    This was because other than his gender and place of residence, there were only a few photographs of the tourist grounds. From the beginning to the end, the other party had never revealed his face.


    Qiu Xiangyang looked over the message the other party sent him again. The time displayed clearly meant that this low-key internet addict was probably still online right now. With that realization, Qiu Xiangyang immediately replied to the dialog box.


    "I haven''t eaten yet. I''m waiting for my friend to take a bath and eat together with me."


    After sending the message, Qiu Xiangyang regretted it. The words "after showering" would definitely cause a misunderstanding, and just as expected, the other party quickly replied him.


    "Girlfriend?"


    Qiu Xiangyang hurriedly explained: No, it''s a male friend.


    The other party: So that''s the case. But aren''t you eating dinner a little late?


    Qiu Xiangyang: Isn''t this the first time my friend has gotten off work? He came to work on the first day, so I came to celebrate for him.


    A: Your friend must be happy, right?


    At the moment, Qiu Xiangyang''s heart was in a mess, if Ye Qiao did not chase him away, he would already be thankful, and would even hope for him to be happy. But he could not say it in such a way, or else he would look petty.


    The other party sent him a smiley face.


    Qiu Xiangyang felt that he could chat really well with this girl, so he decided to ask her for the "talk" account, which was convenient for him to directly contact her in chat tools. However, the other sister said that she did not have such an account, Qiu Xiangyang then mentioned the other chat software, but the sister said that she did not have any, causing Qiu Xiangyang to suddenly feel that this girl was pretty pure, so he asked her for her number.


    The girl said, That''s not right, right?


    Qiu Xiangyang saw that he was being reserved, and immediately passed a string of cell phone numbers to his sister, and just at this time, Ye Qiao finished showering and came down from the stairs, asking what he was doing. When he heard Ye Qiao''s voice, he immediately became flustered, and did not even have the time to close the program. He immediately unplugged the phone, and acted like nothing happened and walked over to the table to get Ye Qiao some porridge.


    Ye Qiao swept his gaze across the computer and saw that the screen was dark, he did not think too much and sat down to drink porridge with Qiu Xiangyang.


    After drinking nearly half of the porridge, Qiu Xiangyang suddenly choked, because he suddenly remembered that the number that was just sent out was Ye Qiao''s. As his phone was not connected, he was afraid that he would forget about it.


    With a wave of his hand, he gave Ye Qiao''s number.


    Qiu Xiangyang only hoped that the girl would not take the initiative to contact Ye Qiao, or else he would definitely lose his life ¡­

 C32 One Stroke Breaking Technique

    They wanted to capture him.


    This was the latest evaluation that the internet addict Lu Jinghuan had of Ye Qiao. Previously, he pretended to ignore him seriously, but now, he had already given him his phone number.


    Lu Jinghuan stared at the string of numbers on the computer screen and thought for a while. In the end, Lu Jinghuan still stored it into his phone, the words on the phone said ''If you want to capture, then go ahead.'' After doing all this, he closed his laptop and went to the bathroom.


    Ye Family.


    Qiu Xiangyang had washed all the tableware clean, and carried the garbage bag from Ye Qiao''s room out: "I''m going back, I''ll come see you tomorrow when I''m free."


    Ye Qiao didn''t say anything further and closed the door.


    "Hey, hey, hey, wait ¡­" Qiu Xiangyang suddenly thought of something, and immediately squeezed half of his body through the crack in the door. He grinned at Ye Qiao with his white teeth: "Um ¡­"


    Seeing Qiu Xiangyang''s nervous expression, Ye Qiao forced the door shut.


    Qiu Xiangyang shouted and retreated. When he managed to react and rush over, Ye Qiao had already closed the door, and quickly locked it as well. He picked up the small French Bulldog on the ground and went upstairs to sleep.


    "Bang, bang, bang ~ ~ ~"


    "Ye, Ye ¡­" Qiu Xiangyang chased Ye Qiao outside of the glass wall and went around to the side of the stairs, patting the glass and waved at him, but Ye Qiao acted as if he did not hear anything, and carried small French Bulldog up the stairs: "Ye, recently there has been an unfamiliar call that you have not been able to answer, please do not reply to any messages ¡­ Hey, Ye! "


    Ye Qiao didn''t even look at him and went upstairs.


    It''s over ¡­


    Qiu Xiangyang sighed inwardly. He got down from the glass wall and carried his garbage bag out, but he didn''t know what was wrong with him, so he felt uneasy, afraid that the next time Ye Qiao went to look at the forum on the internet, he would find out what he was doing. He was also a bit worried that Ye Qiao would have his opinion of him after reading it. What if Ye Qiao got kidnapped by that ''internet addicted young woman''?


    In short, he was in a very complicated mood.


    Ye Qiao carried the small French Bulldog into his bedroom and closed the door to light up his special incense. The small French Bulldog that were just moving around in his arms immediately quietened down, lying motionlessly on the floor. Ye Qiao placed it back into his nest, and waited for the incense to release that slightly dry and astringent herbal smell. Only then did Ye Qiao go back to bed and meditate, using silver needles to prick his acupoints and add the specially made herbs, hoping to release his internal energy.


    Half an hour later, Ye Qiao''s body had already started to heat up. Sweat oozed out, and on his skin, it looked crystal clear. This was the best opportunity to use inner strength. Ye Qiao ignored the scorching heat in his body, and clenched his fists tightly, wanting to break through the last layer of the seal. As long as the seal was broken, he could recover his energy.


    "Zizi ~ ~"


    The phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated, startling Ye Qiao who was in the middle of forcefully channeling his energy. Once his attention was distracted, Ye Qiao felt that his entire body was unbearably hot, and the silver needles were unable to dispel the burning sensation, so Ye Qiao had no choice but to stop cultivating and quickly extinguish the incense on the cabinet, in case he died from the burning of his heart.


    The wind blew in from the balcony, causing the temperature of Ye Qiao''s body to drop slightly. His originally red-hot skin also started to slowly regain its original whiteness, but the sweat had turned into cold sweat, and it felt very uncomfortable attaching it to his body.


    After walking to the balcony and closing the door, Ye Qiao suddenly remembered the culprit that led him to break through his technique ¡ª ¡ª


    Mobile phone.


    After the churning discomfort in his heart disappeared, Ye Qiao returned to the bedside to retrieve his phone to check which reckless idiot was sending him a message at the most crucial moment of his training, but when he opened the message, he found that he had never seen this number before.


    ''Good night.''


    Two words plus a punctuation mark, this was the information about the ghost that broke his technique.


    A wave of anger rose up. Just as Ye Qiao wanted to call him and curse at him, a sudden pain in his chest nearly made him hold his breath. When he recovered, Ye Qiao immediately knew that the technique breakage had injured his heart meridian, and he would probably not be able to practice it anymore in the near future.


    Ye Qiao used more and more strength on his finger and only after his fingertip had turned white did he slowly loosen his grip. He finally vented out his overflowing anger and waited for his mind to calm down before taking his phone and replying to the person who caused him to fail:


    ''Who are you? ''


    However, after a long time, the other party still did not reply.


    Clenching his teeth, Ye Qiao pulled out the silver needles on his shoulder and shot them out. He then took his pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower.


    ''Clang! Clang! ''


    The lamp on the nightstand across the way shattered.

 C33 Meeting on a Narrow Path

    After a few busy days, the culprit that caused him to fail in his cultivation did not send any more strange text messages. Ye Qiao''s life once again returned to normal. But now, other than the trouble with Qiu Xiangyang, the manager of the Lu¡¯s Group Finance Department was also a scourge. He would call him everyday to ask why the courier didn''t arrive, but Ye Qiao hung up the phone and then continued to call. Every time, it was Ye Qiao who walked to the Finance Department''s door, his phone still ringing, causing the supervisor to be so angry that his face would turn red.


    "Did you crawl over here every day? When you come to my place at around nine o''clock every day, I have to wait at the door every day. Do you think I''m very free? " The supervisor closed the door as usual, the phone calls and complaints were no longer effective. The higher-ups of Ming Tong Company were already immune to his calls, and with the fanatical employees of his company secretly calling him to explain the situation, and the fact that Ye Qiao was in charge of the delivery business in this region becoming a reality, the supervisor had no choice but to accept the fact that the delivery company was not changing, and instead changed his words to complain. Once he saw Ye Qiao, he said endlessly, "Do you know that these two statements were made in a rush for the people below to do it, if it was delayed ¡­? Also, do you know that this is what President Cheng wants? President Cheng doesn''t like people who are late the most, it''s even the same if it''s a express delivery! "


    Ye Qiao stood at the side and did not say a word, he only waited for him to open all the delivery bags and sign his name, then took his own order and left.


    "I''ve been waiting for you to deliver the express delivery every day. 9 o''clock, do you think you''re the boss?" "Do you believe that I''ll complain to you?" "Do you know ¡­" The supervisor scolded back and forth. He grinded his lips so hard that Ye Qiao did not even respond to him.


    "What about the list?" Finally, he was done with the delivery and had checked that all the documents were not missing or damaged. Only then did the supervisor extend his hand and ask Ye Qiao for the signature list, unwillingly writing his name: "I say, can''t you hurry up next time? Every time I say that to you, you treat me like farting, and I''m tired of saying that, do you know that? "


    "Two of them are here to be paid, so I need you to pay for them." Ye Qiao reminded.


    The manager frowned, he looked up at Ye Qiao and said: "I am here to settle debts at the end of the year, your superior did not tell you?"


    "Nope."


    "You! Forget it, forget it, I won''t bother with you anymore. You can just go back and ask your superior, and we''ll see how free I am every time I come back with this small amount of money. "


    "I''m free, so I won''t take credit."


    "What do you mean by no credit?" The supervisor turned his head and bumped into Ye Qiao, who was staring at him, and immediately became nervous. He took back what had said and took out change from the drawer and gave it to him, "I''ve never seen a courier as awesome as you."


    Ye Qiao also ignored him, and after checking the amount, he kept the money in his pocket and turned to leave.


    "Sigh, wait ¡­" The manager stopped Ye Qiao, counted out a delivery fee, and handed a document over to him: "I didn''t let you run away in vain, follow your own rules, help me deliver this document to the General Manager''s Secretariat."


    Ye Qiao frowned, and handed the delivery slip over to the supervisor.


    "What for?"


    "Sign the form and send it. I''ll keep the root."


    "I say, aren''t you stubborn? If you just give me the money, it will be yours, so why are you making things so troublesome?"


    Ye Qiao did not speak, and wanted to return the documents to him.


    "Fine, fine, fine. I''m really afraid of you. I''ll sign, I''ll sign, alright?" The supervisor hurriedly took the delivery slip. "I''m almost dead from work, and I had to sign some bullsh * t form for you ¡­"


    After signing the envelope, the supervisor handed the folder over to Ye Qiao with an expression of helplessness. After receiving the courier, Ye Qiao immediately left the office and took the elevator to the top floor to deliver the courier to the general manager''s secretariat.


    ''Ding ¨C ''


    The elevator door opened, and Ye Qiao walked in.


    "Wait."


    Just as the elevator door was about to close, a group of people hurriedly squeezed in. Ye Qiao stood to the side, trying to stay as far away as possible from strangers.


    Ye Qiao raised his head and saw Cheng Wanzhen, who was standing in front and making a call.


    "What are you guys doing? The Lu family is determined to get that piece of land. No matter what the conditions are, we can''t let other companies take that piece of land." Cheng Wanzhen did not notice who was standing on the side, and kept counting down the people on the other end of the phone: "50%? The Lu family will definitely not give up their right to manage the resort. Just do as I say and tell them. "


    After Cheng Wanzhen finished speaking, she hung up in anger and passed the phone to the secretary beside him. "What''s the situation over at President Lu, I haven''t seen any movement from him for the past few days. Is he in contact with Liang Binngtian or not?"


    "I''m not too sure. President Lu never divulges anything."


    "Where''s Hee Mu? Have you tried to find out?"


    "Secretary He''s mouth is too tight, we can''t get any information out of him. He rejected my offer to treat him to a meal, as if he wants to avoid any suspicion."


    Cheng Wanzhen''s face darkened and did not continue.


    The inside of the elevator was suddenly filled with a heavy atmosphere. The subordinates who followed Cheng Wanzhen in did not even dare to breathe too loudly, as they waited for the elevator door to open and Cheng Wanzhen walked out. The group of people all followed along, leaving Ye Qiao alone in the elevator.


    Ye Qiao pressed on the button on the top floor as he watched Cheng Wanzhen leave with the crowd present.


    The moment the elevator door closed, Cheng Wanzhen suddenly stopped in her tracks as if she had sensed something. She turned to look at the elevator but the door was already closed and the floor key was lit, indicating that the elevator had already gone up.


    "President Cheng, what''s wrong?"


    "Was there anyone in the elevator just now?"


    "I didn''t notice." The secretary turned to the others. "Did you see that ¡­?"


    "Forget it." Cheng Wanzhen interrupted the secretary and stared at the elevator up ahead and frowned.


    Why did she feel as though Lin Zhi was right by her side just now?

 C34 You Want to Touch Porcelain

    "Copy this form. We''ll use it during the general manager''s meeting later." Just as Hee Mu finished instructing his subordinates about what to do, he turned around and saw a familiar figure walk in. He immediately frowned and blocked her: "This is the General Manager''s Secretariat.


    Ye Qiao handed over the documents that the manager of the Finance Department asked him to deliver. "Mail from the Finance Department, receive it."


    When Hee Mu accepted the documents, he intentionally turned his head to look at the face under the cap, but Ye Qiao''s head was lowered, and the hat covered most of his face, so even Hee Mu was unable to see what he looked like clearly. Frowning, Hee Mu retracted his gaze and opened up the delivery bag in his hands: "You are the person who went into the wrong elevator last time, right?"


    A strange look flashed past his eyes under the hat, but he quickly returned to normal. Ye Qiao replied calmly: "Yes."


    "You dare to admit it." Hee Mu checked the documents but did not find any problems, hence he signed the list: "Last time, it was because of you that bit, I was in pain when I went back for two days, yet you still dared to come."


    "It''s my job."


    "Don''t we need to compensate for hurting him?"


    "You want to touch porcelain?"


    "¡­" Hee Mu''s hand that was signing stopped, and after pausing for a few seconds, he looked up at Ye Qiao: "Do I look like someone who needs your money?"


    Ye Qiao did not say anything, and waited for him to sign his name before leaving.


    Seemingly sensing Ye Qiao''s intentions, Hee Mu signed for half a word and then didn''t sign anymore. He took the slip of paper and walked towards Ye Qiao, leaned over and whispered into his ear: "I see that you have some skills, let me introduce you to a job that makes money, do it or not, five thousand per time."


    "Nope." Ye Qiao stared at the documents in Hee Mu''s hands: I''m in a hurry to receive the documents.


    Hee Mu was suspicious: "I haven''t even said what kind of work you''re going to do, and you''ve already rejected me?"


    "No need."


    "How much do you earn in a month?"


    "The probation period is two thousand one month, and after that, it''s six thousand."


    "Alright, I''ll give you six thousand then, enough to pay you one month''s salary after you become an official staff member ¡­"


    "Nope."


    "¡­"


    Hee Mu was completely unable to do anything to him.


    He accurately took out the express delivery slip from the stack of documents in Hee Mu''s hands and placed it at the top. Ye Qiao pointed to the place where the recipient had signed his name, indicating that he should hurry up and sign it.


    Hee Mu was startled, and then he signed and wrote half of the list.


    Ye Qiao took the list, folded it and stuffed it into a small bag by his waist, then turned and left without saying a word.


    "Hey, are you sure you don''t want to make that money?" Hee Mu asked from the back.


    Ye Qiao ignored Hee Mu and left.


    "Di ¡ª"


    Just then, a call came in from the general manager''s office, asking Hee Mu to send out a document. Hee Mu was startled, and when he reacted, he immediately called Ye Qiao who was riding on the elevator down and left him there.


    "What? You''re not coming in with me?"


    "I''ll post it after you take it out."


    "That won''t do, the documents the general manager wants to send out are definitely confidential and can''t be taken out for you to check, so you might as well come in with me and see if you have something you shouldn''t have. It would break your express delivery company''s rules, wouldn''t it?"


    Ye Qiao knew that this brat had done it on purpose, but what he said was right, the company did indeed have rules to check whether or not the mail contained items that would go against the rules, and once they found out, even the employees that received the express delivery would be punished. After thinking about it, Ye Qiao still lowered the brim of his hat and followed Hee Mu into Lu Jinghuan''s office.

 C35 Suspicion

    "Dong, dong, dong ~ ~"


    "Come in."


    "President Lu."


    "Hee Mu, send this document out. I''ve already sent the address to you." Lu Jinghuan was so busy that he did not even lift his head, and naturally did not notice Ye Qiao who was following him in: "Also, Vice Chief Liu also urged him, telling him that it was time to meet Liang Binngtian."


    Hee Mu went over to take the documents that he wanted to mail, but just as he was about to go out to do something, he remembered that Ye Qiao was still here.


    Perceiving the shadow above his head, Lu Jinghuan finally raised his head from the pile of documents. Just as he was about to ask Hee Mu what other business he had, he saw Ye Qiao standing behind him and a look of surprise flashed past his black eyes. However, he quickly recovered and asked Hee Mu: "Who is he?"


    "It''s from the express delivery company. Coincidentally, he came to deliver the express delivery, so I brought him in with me."


    Express company?


    With Hee Mu''s reminder, Lu Jinghuan had an impression. The other party seemed to be the person who injured Hee Mu when they ran into the wrong elevator, but that time, he was in the narrow elevator with his head lowered, so Lu Jinghuan did not have the chance to see his appearance clearly. This time, he was able to see half of his face, coupled with his tall and slender figure ¡ª


    His own conditions were quite good.


    This was the conclusion Lu Jinghuan came to after looking at the majority of Ye Qiao''s face that was covered under the hat.


    "This is the document you want to send out. Please take it." Hee Mu turned and handed the documents over to Ye Qiao.


    Ye Qiao took a mail bag and put the documents inside.


    "You''re not going to look into it?" Hee Mu deliberately asked.


    "No need, there''s nothing inside."


    Ye Qiao tore up the double-sided tape inside and sealed the email before giving the delivery slip to Hee Mu to write an address. Since Hee Mu was in no hurry to write after receiving it, he turned to look at Ye Qiao who was watching the show with interest: "How do you know there''s nothing in there even though you haven''t looked at it yet?


    "I can see the fifteen pieces of paper clearly." Ye Qiao said calmly.


    A trace of surprise flashed across Hee Mu''s eyes. After being stunned for a few seconds, Hee Mu turned to look at Lu Jinghuan to seek confirmation.


    Lu Jinghuan smiled, and said to Ye Qiao with a smile that was not a smile: "Your eyesight is not bad."


    Hearing this answer ¡­


    Hee Mu turned his gaze towards Ye Qiao behind him in disbelief. Was it really fifteen pieces of paper?


    It was unbelievable.


    "I just happened to see it." Ye Qiao said with an indifferent tone.


    "Is that so?" Lu Jinghuan laughed and instructed Hee Mu: "You go out first."


    Hee Mu acknowledged his, and after looking at Ye Qiao, he turned and left.


    "Which delivery company are you from?"


    "Ming Tong."


    "Hee Mu came to find you?"


    Ye Qiao did not understand the meaning behind Lu Jinghuan''s words, was the one looking for him to work Lu Jinghuan or Hee Mu? If the one looking for him was Lu Jinghuan, then he must know something. Otherwise, he wouldn''t find someone to do the express delivery for him to work with ¡ª


    But what did he know?


    Seeing that Ye Qiao did not speak, Lu Jinghuan put down the pen in his hand and looked at him intently from the chair: "Hee Mu mentioned to me before, when you touched him, he ached for a few days, so he thinks that you are quite skilled, and wants to find you to do something. But it depends whether you want to or not, and if you really have the ability, the price is negotiable. "


    "I have my own job."


    "You can''t make much money by doing express delivery, can you?"


    "That depends on whether I want to or not."


    Lu Jinghuan said straightforwardly: "Then what do you not want to do? How much is it before you are willing to do it?"


    Ye Qiao was no longer in the mood to continue with the topic, "If I don''t want to, you can''t afford to hire me."


    Lu Jinghuan was startled, then he leaned over, placed his chin on his hands, and looked at him with interest: "Then, you can give a price."


    "20 gold bars."


    "You''re quite special. You don''t need cash or gold bars."


    "1kg each, a total of 20."


    After Ye Qiao bid, he narrowed his eyes. Twenty one kilograms of gold bars had a market value of almost five million. This was undoubtedly a huge offer, making it clear that he wanted to raise the price.


    As for whether he was worth this price?


    "One hundred thousand." Lu Jinghuan was silent for a moment, then said: "I''ll give you one hundred thousand, you help me do something."


    I am sorry, President Lu. I am not a businessman. After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.


    "A hundred thousand is something you can''t even earn after a year of courier."


    "I can introduce another colleague to President Lu. I believe they will be willing."


    "Ye Qiao, I''ll give you three days to consider."


    "No, I don''t want to think about it for a minute."


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he disappeared from the office.


    Looking at the direction that Ye Qiao left in, Lu Jinghuan laughed, a profound look flashed past his black eyes. After sitting in the office for a while, Lu Jinghuan took his phone from the table and sent a short message.


    Lu Jinghuan touched his lips in interest, then called the secretariat. The person who answered was Hee Mu, and told him that Ye Qiao had just finished signing the order to leave.


    "Did his cell phone ring?"


    [I think so. Someone sent him a message when he signed the form, but he only took a glance and didn''t reply.]


    "Got it."


    Lu Jinghuan hung up the phone, and once again turned his gaze towards the phone on the table. After pondering for a moment, he used his phone to call Ye Qiao.


    "It''s me, Lu Jinghuan."


    [President Lu, I should have said it clearly, I won''t ¡­]


    "20 gold bars right? I''ll pay."


    The person on the other end of the line fell into silence.


    Lu Jinghuan continued to speak: "I''ll add another five of yours, I guarantee you enough to weigh a kilogram, you can do things for me now?"


    [To be honest, I like money.]


    "So your answer is?"


    [Not willing.]


    Without giving Lu Jinghuan a chance to continue, Ye Qiao immediately hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Lu Jinghuan listened to the "doo doo doo" sounds coming from the phone and the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper.


    Outside the Lu¡¯s Group.


    Ye Qiao hung up the phone. To be honest, he really needed the money, and Lu Jinghuan''s offer was extremely attractive. No matter what, it was a reasonable deal for him. But Lu Jinghuan was a person from the Lu Family, and Cheng Wanzhen was currently the mistress of the Lu Family. If Ye Qiao wanted to completely separate from Lin Zhi, he had to stay away from the people from the Lu Family ¡­ His intuition told him that compared to Cheng Wanzhen, that woman who did everything for money, Lu Jinghuan was the one he needed to be careful of the most.


    However, there was one point that Ye Qiao overlooked was that women were born with skeptical abilities.


    Once this ability was activated, it would not be so easy for him to continue living a peaceful life.


    At this moment, Cheng Wanzhen, who had finished taking care of things, was sitting in her office and thinking about the strange things that had happened to her in the past few days. To her, who had repeatedly sensed Lin Zhi''s existence, she had no choice but to be cautious.


    So she had to respond in advance.


    Thinking about this, Cheng Wanzhen immediately called the secretariat to ask if they had seen anyone else in the elevator. After the secretary asked the people under him, the answer she gave Cheng Wanzhen was that they did, there were even people who recognized that she was wearing the clothes of a delivery company. Hearing that, Cheng Wanzhen immediately thought of the express delivery boy she saw at the entrance of the company, and her heart became uneasy.


    "Do you know which floor he went to just now?"


    "No one notices, President Cheng, do you want to check?"


    "Just ask in private, don''t spread it to the ears of President Lu."


    "Yes, President Cheng."


    Cheng Wanzhen hung up the phone, feeling uneasy. She thought about the express delivery boy that appeared multiple times in the company, and she thought about how she could feel Lin Zhi''s Qi on his body.


    Lin Zhi might be destroyed, but what if he changed his face and came back?


    Thinking about that, Cheng Wanzhen couldn''t help but to remember the video of Lin Zhi buying a house on the internet a while ago. If Lin Zhi bought a house and didn''t remember his name, if the rumors were true, that Lin Zhi buying a house was to marry her. When he thought that there might be such a possibility, Cheng Wanzhen impatiently called his friend who was working at the Housing Authority and asked if anyone had used her name to buy a house in Ye City. The friend''s answer was that there wasn''t.


    Or perhaps she was overthinking it ¡­


    At the same time, Cheng Wanzhen''s friend who was working in the Housing Authority had just turned off the TV series on the computer page, when the chief inspector and a few other senior executives entered the office. She didn''t even care what Cheng Wanzhen had just said on the phone, and quickly hung up after a few casual words, standing up to welcome him.

 C36 King Lu

    Ever since he entered Lu Jinghuan''s office, in the following few days, the Chief of the Finance Department didn''t call him again. Even if he was late by an hour, the supervisor had never scolded him again. Ye Qiao did not have a backer in the Ye City, and after thinking about it, the only person who could change the manager''s attitude completely was Lu Jinghuan. However, since Lu Jinghuan did not show up, he did not go and find him either.


    But not long after that, Ye Qiao started to receive calls from Lu Jinghuan frequently, either to ask him to go to the company to receive express delivery or to look for him at a specific place to get the express delivery.


    "Zizi ~ ~"


    Just as Ye Qiao finished changing his clothes in the locker room, his phone rang again. When he picked it up and saw that it was Lu Jinghuan, he immediately hung up and put the phone into his pocket before taking his jacket and leaving the room.


    A few seconds later, his phone rang again.


    Ye Qiao frowned, while walking out of the warehouse, he took out his phone to answer the call: "What''s the matter?"


    [I have an urgent matter to take care of, come over here.]


    "No matter how anxious I am, it''s useless. I''ve already gotten off work."


    [You got off work at 6 o''clock, right?]


    "Yes."


    [There''s still a minute before 6 o''clock, you can come over.]


    Lu Jinghuan hung up immediately after finishing his words, he did not give Ye Qiao the chance to reject. Ye Qiao looked at the time on his phone, and it just happened to be 6 o''clock.


    "Ye, it''s already time for work, why aren''t you going back?" Guo Qiming coincidentally also came out of the warehouse, and seeing Ye Qiao standing at the entrance, he went up and greeted him. "Waiting for someone?"


    "Nope."


    "Then let''s go together. I''ll drive you over to where you''re staying."


    "No need, I have an urgent message to collect."


    Ye Qiao kept his phone and walked towards the bus stop.


    There was an urgent message at this time of night?


    Guo Qiming scratched his head. Originally, he wanted to ask Ye Qiao where he was going to pick up the urgent message, so he could drive him over if he wanted to.


    When Ye Qiao took the bus down the platform opposite the Lu¡¯s Group, it was already 6: 30 PM. Seeing that the Lu¡¯s Group gate was still open, he wanted to go up and see if Lu Jinghuan was still there.


    General Manager''s Office.


    "Hee Mu, what time is it?"


    "It''s six thirty-five, President Lu."


    "Go and see if he''s here yet."


    Just as Hee Mu was about to go out, he bumped into Cheng Wanzhen at the entrance. After being startled for a moment, he turned to ask for Lu Jinghuan''s opinion, who looked at him and indicated for him to go out first.


    Cheng Wanzhen walked into Lu Jinghuan''s office: "Why are you still not getting off work?"


    "There are still some things that I haven''t finished taking care of." Lu Jinghuan lowered his head to take care of the matters at hand, and did not even glance at Cheng Wanzhen who had walked in, "Why hasn''t President Cheng come home from work yet?"


    "Today is the anniversary of my and Zhenrong''s wedding. I want you to come home and have a meal with me."


    "Since it''s the anniversary, then it should be you and my dad alone. I won''t go back and join in on the fun."


    "Jinghuan, your dad really wants you to move in."


    Lu Jinghuan''s movements suddenly stopped, and after stopping for a few seconds, he looked up at Cheng Wanzhen: "I don''t have any plans right now, if President Cheng has nothing else, she should go back first, I still have friends that will be coming over later."


    Cheng Wanzhen''s expression instantly became a little unsightly.


    "Dong Dong Dong ¡ª"


    The person knocking on the door was Hee Mu. President Lu, he is here.


    Lu Jinghuan did not bother anymore, and nodded to Hee Mu to call him in.


    "Jinghuan..."


    "That''s the end of the conversation."


    Just as Lu Jinghuan finished speaking, Hee Mu walked in with Ye Qiao. When Ye Qiao passed by them, there was an extremely shocked expression on Cheng Wanzhen''s face, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu Jinghuan.


    "Hee Mu, send President Cheng out." Lu Jinghuan instructed Hee Mu.


    Hee Mu nodded and then invited Cheng Wanzhen out.


    Cheng Wanzhen withdrew her shocked expression, staring at Ye Qiao who was standing by her side for a few seconds, after which she followed Hee Mu, and just as she was about to leave, she turned her head to look at Ye Qiao, her gaze had too many oddities.


    "You''re here?" Lu Jinghuan stood up from the chair, took a document and walked to the guest hall: "Come sit."


    Ye Qiao stood there and did not move: "No need, just sign the form and give it to me."


    "If I''m hungry, I can''t take care of anything." Lu Jinghuan sat on the sofa and smiled at Ye Qiao.


    Ye Qiao glanced at the Lu Jinghuan who had ill intentions, his gaze sweeping across the large pile of food on the table. After a moment of silence, he asked: "How long will it take?"


    Lu Jinghuan laughed upon hearing this, he then picked up the cup of hot water on the table and slowly drank it, "I have another habit ¨C the more people urge me to eat, the slower I will eat."


    "Then I''ll go out and wait for you to finish eating before coming in."


    "That won''t do either."


    "¡­"


    "Since you''re already here, I can''t possibly let you wait like this, right?"


    Ye Qiao frowned: "What exactly do you want?"


    Lu Jinghuan laughed, and then indicated for Ye Qiao to sit on the sofa opposite him.


    Ye Qiao stood there and did not move.


    "What, the food on the table might be poisonous ¡­" Lu Jinghuan turned and looked at Ye Qiao: "Or are you afraid that I''ll eat you?"

 C37 Asthenia Cold Symptom

    Ye Qiao stared at Lu Jinghuan for a few seconds, then walked to the opposite side of the sofa and sat down without saying anything.


    "What do you like to eat?" Seeing him sit down, the smile in Lu Jinghuan''s black eyes became even wider. After placing down the hot drinks in his hand, he leaned his body forward and pointed at the food on the table: "Pizzas, hamburgers, or chicken wings?"


    "I drink milk."


    Just as Ye Qiao wanted to reach for the milk box, he was snatched away by Lu Jinghuan. He frowned as he looked at the man in front of him who was becoming even more baffled.


    Lu Jinghuan smiled at him, tore a corner of the box and handed it over to him.


    Ye Qiao looked at Lu Jinghuan and then looked at the milk box in his hand that was opened. After pausing for a few seconds, he reached out his hand towards Lu Jinghuan and took a piece of pizza on the table.


    The expression on Lu Jinghuan''s face faltered a little, but very quickly, a smile appeared on his face. He placed the opened milk box in front of Ye Qiao, and then took his own hot drink to continue drinking.


    "How long have you been a courier?"


    "Almost half a month."


    "Have you ever thought about changing jobs? After all, the delivery guy''s salary isn''t that high."


    Ye Qiao paused in his eating of the pizza, and looked towards Lu Jinghuan: "The salary is indeed a little low, but don''t the people nowadays all hope to find a job with five risks and one gold?"


    "It''s not just courier business with five risks and one gold coin." Lu Jinghuan lowered his head and laughed: "Moreover, I need to find a more relaxed job, and I can even earn more money, wouldn''t it be much better than taking the pension insurance money in a few decades?"


    "You''ve lived too long, you still need a guarantee."


    "You seem to know how long you can live."


    "Longer than you."


    After Ye Qiao finished speaking, he intentionally raised his head to look at his expression, he had thought that was joking, but his serious look clearly showed that he was not, Lu Jinghuan laughed, then lowered his head and drank the hot wine in his hands.


    "Asthmatic cold still needs to be treated as soon as possible. Delaying any further would result in kidney damage." Ye Qiao drank a mouthful of milk and reminded her with a straight face.


    Lu Jinghuan stopped drinking for a few seconds, then frowned slowly. He looked at Ye Qiao who was eating the pizza: "How did you find out I was cold?"


    "It''s almost three days and you''re still closing the doors and windows. If it''s not sick, then what is it?" Ye Qiao did not raise his head and instead continued to eat his own food, "Your complexion is also not very good. Furthermore, you ordered a whole table of food but didn''t eat it. Since there''s no cure, let''s hurry to the hospital and see if it can be cured when you''re young. When you''re old, you won''t be able to cure it. "


    Lu Jinghuan''s hand that was holding onto the cup shook, and almost spilled it.


    "Of course you can refuse to admit it, but if you drag it on any longer, your symptoms will become more and more obvious. Not only will your hands and feet become ice-cold, but you will also need to constantly pee. The lower half of your body will become swollen and numb ¡­" After Ye Qiao finished eating the pizza, he picked up the milk and slowly drank it. He also looked at Lu Jinghuan calmly and said seriously: "Wait until you become serious, there is a possibility that you might have sexual dysfunction."


    Lu Jinghuan''s face darkened.


    "So we should go to the hospital as soon as possible and have a check-up. We''ll be in trouble when it gets serious."


    "Do you care so much about anyone?"


    "It depends on your mood."


    Just as Ye Qiao was about to wipe his mouth with a tissue, he was grabbed by Lu Jinghuan. Ye Qiao struggled to struggle free and raised his head to look at Lu Jinghuan in displeasure. Lu Jinghuan did not mind, he took the tissue from his hands and brought it close to his face to wipe it.


    "What for?"


    "Can''t you see? I''ll help you wipe it."


    "I can do it myself."


    "It''s fine, I''ll be happy to do it for you."


    Ye Qiao frowned, seeing that Lu Jinghuan was near his mouth, he felt goosebumps all over his body, and when he once again wanted to struggle free from Lu Jinghuan''s grasp, Lu Jinghuan suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled. Ye Qiao immediately felt a heat on his mouth, and when he reacted, he saw that Lu Jinghuan''s lips were already at the corner of his mouth.


    He even sucked his lips like a child sucking milk.


    His Adam''s apple moved up and down, causing Ye Qiao to frown. In the next second, he raised his hand and struck Lu Jinghuan''s right shoulder, wanting to blow the shameless man away, but Ye Qiao had forgotten one point, he currently did not have any inner strength left.


    Lu Jinghuan laughed, and pulled away Ye Qiao''s moving hand from his waist, clamping him down tightly in his embrace while his other hand held onto the back of Ye Qiao''s head. He then spent enough time to slowly suck up all the milk from the corner of Ye Qiao''s mouth, and then ¡ª


    Straight ahead.


    But when Lu Jinghuan''s tongue cracked open, it was as if he was struck by lightning, the excitement he received was no less than the last time he was struck by lightning, and Lu Jinghuan was clearly a powerful expert. While Ye Qiao was still in shock and forgot to resist, he seized the important place in one go, and forcefully struck anything he wanted.


    Feeling the soft in his mouth, Ye Qiao regained his senses at once, and was about to bite Lu Jinghuan''s tongue, but Lu Jinghuan had obviously already considered this point, the hand grabbing the back of his head had changed to pinching his cheeks, making it impossible for him to bite Lu Jinghuan''s teeth, so he couldn''t do anything to Lu Jinghuan either.


    Ye Qiao was immediately furious.


    When he felt the anger of the person in his embrace, Lu Jinghuan''s heart felt even more subservient. The colder Ye Qiao was, the more he wanted to bury him in his body, and the more he would never be able to escape the palms of his own hands ¡­


    What''s more, didn''t he just say that he was in dire straits?


    Just as Lu Jinghuan was about to forcefully kiss Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao''s left hand that was not locked up secretly took out a thin and long silver needle from his pocket, and without saying a word, pierced into Lu Jinghuan''s waist. Lu Jinghuan''s act of snatching the kiss froze his entire body!


    After settling the troublesome fellow, Ye Qiao pushed him away and used a tissue to wipe his swollen lips. No matter how he wiped it, Lu Jinghuan''s saliva seemed to always be on him, so Ye Qiao kept on wiping it.


    "You are quite capable." Lu Jinghuan stared at Ye Qiao and said with a smile that was not a smile.


    "If you say another word, I''ll stab you to death."


    "¡­"


    Ye Qiao kept wiping the milk off the table, and rinsed his mouth with the remaining milk. Only after rinsing almost all of the remaining milk did he feel that it wasn''t as bad as before. He picked up the bag on the sofa and left Lu Jinghuan''s office without looking back.


    "Eh ¡­" Lu Jinghuan originally wanted to stop him, but Ye Qiao''s speed was simply too fast.


    His angry look was cute.


    Hee Mu was waiting outside. When he saw Ye Qiao running out with killing intent, and was about to ask if he had received the mail, he saw Ye Qiao giving him a terrifying look, causing him to immediately shut his mouth. After Ye Qiao left, Hee Mu suddenly remembered that Lu Jinghuan was still inside. Thus, he hurriedly ran in to see what was going on.


    Hold! Stop! It was done!


    Hee Mu immediately ran over: "President Lu, are you alright?"


    "I can''t move. See if there''s anything on me." As Lu Jinghuan said that, he suddenly remembered that before he could move, his right waist felt a sharp pain, so he ordered Hee Mu: "Look at his right waist."


    Hee Mu immediately looked at Lu Jinghuan''s right waist, only to see a silver needle that was even longer than his finger. Hee Mu could not help but swallow his saliva.


    "There is one ¡­" "Needle."


    "Needles?"


    "Yes, it looks a little like the acupuncture needles used in Chinese medicine."


    "Pull it out."


    "President Lu, find an experienced Chinese doctor to take a look. Stop trying to stir up trouble."


    "If anything happens, just pull it out."


    Hearing this, Hee Mu carefully moved closer and tried to pinch the tip of the silver needle. After a few tries, he pulled it out forcefully, and the tip of the silver needle was pulled out along with some blood droplets.


    A little bit of pain caused Lu Jinghuan to frown slightly.


    "President Lu, are you alright?" Hee Mu could not help but ask nervously when he saw the blood on the needle.


    "I''m fine." Lu Jinghuan took the silver needle from Hee Mu''s hand and wiped off the blood on it. He stared at it thoughtfully for a while before instructing Hee Mu: "Tomorrow morning, take this thing to the Ren He Medicinal Shop and ask Liu Tong about the method of using these silver needles."


    "Speaking of which, President Lu, it''s time to get the Chinese medicine for the CEO."


    "Then you can bring it back tomorrow as well."


    "Yes."


    "Wait." Lu Jinghuan called out to Hee Mu who was about to leave, he looked up and saw the food on the table that had basically not been touched, and after being silent for a bit, he instructed: "Clean this place up, other than that ¡­ Tomorrow, I will go with you to see Liu Tong. "

 C38 Eavesdropping

    The next morning, the manager of the Finance Department found someone waiting at the door. Thinking that his many days of teaching had finally paid off, he took out his key to open the door and said sarcastically, "Your personality has changed today. Why don''t you send someone else''s express delivery first?" "But that''s the right thing to do. This person has to know how to change, tell me ¡­" The supervisor opened the door and turned his head to look at Guo Qiming''s face. He was so shocked that he immediately jumped: "Oh my god, you scared me to death!"


    Guo Qiming walked forward while carrying the large group of couriers, and approached the supervisor: "Do you take me to be a Ye?"


    The supervisor pointed at Guo Qiming''s forehead with his index finger and pushed him away disdainfully. He adjusted the vest on his shirt that was covering his head and said, "What Ye? Oh, that colleague of yours ¡­ Why isn''t he here today? " The supervisor nonchalantly asked, "You''ve applied for sick leave?"


    "My Ye is pretty handsome, isn''t he?"


    "Handsome ¡­" What''s with that gaze? Why are you staring at me? "


    "Supervisor Lin, we are old acquaintances, let me tell you this clearly. Ye is handsome, but he already has a name, so this, this ¡­. "You understand."


    "What ''that'', ''that'', ''this'', are you sick?"


    "Fine, if you don''t want to say it, then don''t. Don''t be angry."


    The supervisor''s face turned red.


    Guo Qiming opened the bag and took out a few letters from inside, "Here, these are the few that I have here today."


    "I was wondering why your attitude was so bad and you didn''t get off work." The supervisor suddenly missed Ye Qiao a little, although his attitude was a little cold, but he would not retort, but this Guo Qiming ¡­


    This was truly infuriating.


    "Eh, Supervisor Lin?"


    "What now?"


    "Why didn''t you sign it first? "I still have to rush to somewhere else to deliver my courier. How would I have the time to wait for you to take them apart one by one?"


    The supervisor choked as he grabbed the pen in Guo Qiming''s hand and signed the form. Just as he was about to kick him, Guo Qiming had already ran far away with the bag in his hand, almost causing him to faint from anger.


    and so on...


    That''s not right, Guo Qiming''s Hammer said that Ye Qiao has an owner?


    The manager thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Hee Mu specially came down to greet him, and said that in the future, Ye Qiao would personally receive all the mail from the general manager, and this had never happened before. Could it be?


    The grass that Ye Qiao was the general manager of?


    As if he had unearthed some kind of extraordinary truth, the supervisor was glad that he did not make things difficult for Ye Qiao these few days. Otherwise, his job would really be ruined.


    No, I have to make a call.


    The supervisor thought as he quickly picked up the mail and ran into the office to call Ye Qiao to offer his condolences.


    Renhe Chinese Medicine Shop.


    Ye Qiao had just stepped into the shop a second ago, and the call came through at this moment. Ye Qiao could only raise his hand to signal the shop assistant to wait, and then went to the side to answer the call: "Supervisor Lin."


    "S-Ye, didn''t you go to work today?"


    Ye Qiao took off his phone and looked at the screen, after confirming that the person in charge of the Lu¡¯s Group Finance Department was right, he picked up again: "Guo Zi and I have been transferred for a day, today I am in charge of his jurisdiction."


    [So that''s how it is ¡­] What about tomorrow?]


    "Tomorrow at work."


    [What about the day after tomorrow?]


    Ye Qiao frowned: "Supervisor Lin, if you have nothing else, I will be hanging up. I still need to busy myself."


    "Alright, alright, alright. You go back to your work first. We''ll have a nice chat tomorrow when you''re here."


    Ye Qiao was baffled, but the shop assistant was waiting for him at the side, so Ye Qiao did not think too much and walked over to greet him.


    "Mr Ye, why are you so free to come today?"


    "I''m here to look for Liu Tong. Is he in the shop?"


    "I''m inside, but Elder Liu has guests, you''ll have to wait for a moment."


    Ye Qiao looked at the clock on the wall, seeing that there was still time, he nodded towards the shop assistant, who led Ye Qiao to the curtain at the entrance, indicating that he could sit and wait.


    After waiting for almost fifteen minutes, Ye Qiao still did not see anyone coming out. While he was bored to death, he raised his head and looked around the store, his gaze suddenly stopped after glancing at a black private car in the parking lot.


    The license plate looked familiar.


    With that in mind, Ye Qiao guessed who was the owner of the car, and while the shop assistant was not paying attention, he lifted the curtain and walked in, stopping in front of the door of the room where Liu Tong was treating the patient, then went over to listen to the conversation.


    "Are you sure it''s a virtual cold?"


    "I''m sure, the President Lu does indeed have the cold syndrome. On the level of diagnosis of Chinese medicine, the ''deficiency'' and ''cold'' are two of the factors that correspond to ''syndrome differentiation''. In other words, the ''cold'' is the type of ''virtual cold'' that ordinary people refer to."


    "Can you cure it here?"


    "It can be cured. Your deficiency of cold is not considered serious, so you only need to eat some Chinese medicine to recuperate for a while." "I''ll give you the prescription. As long as you take it according to the prescription, I''ll write the method and time of the medicine on the list. You can just follow it when you go back."


    "Elder Liu, what are the consequences of delaying this disease?"


    "Women affect fertility, men affect ¡­"


    Halfway through Liu Tong''s words, he suddenly stopped, and the entire room became quiet.


    Ye Qiao stood at the door and listened, naturally knowing what was going on. As for someone as shrewd as Lu Jinghuan, he probably knew too... If there really was someone who didn''t understand, then it would only be that idiot Hee Mu.


    "Mr Ye, so you are here. I thought you had left and were just about to tell Elder Liu ¡­"


    Just then, the shop assistant who noticed that Ye Qiao was missing suddenly lifted the curtain and walked in. With that shout, not only did the people in the room hear him, even the people in the shop outside could hear him clearly.


    Sure enough, the sound of footsteps came from inside the room.


    Ye Qiao saw that it was too late to run, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door, but before his hand could touch the door, it opened. Lu Jinghuan stood at the door and looked at him with a complicated expression.

 C39 Internal Breathing Return

    "Why are you here?"


    "Meet someone."


    "Not following me?"


    Hearing that, Ye Qiao looked at Lu Jinghuan weirdly, and then at Lu Jinghuan''s neck, chest, and lower abdomen, before finally stopping at an important spot. After staring for a few seconds, Ye Qiao turned his face away and did not say a word.


    The expression in Lu Jinghuan''s eyes grew deeper and deeper.


    "The Mr Ye is here?" Liu Tong who was seated inside also saw Ye Qiao, and stood up to welcome him.


    "You two know each other?" Lu Jinghuan asked.


    Liu Tong laughed: "I do, Mr Ye is extremely knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine. Sometimes, I have to ask Mr Ye for guidance on difficult cases, so I got to know them a lot. What, the two of you know each other as well? "


    "I don''t know him."


    "I do."


    Ye Qiao and Lu Jinghuan answered at the same time. Coincidentally, Hee Mu was currently holding two bags of herbs, looking up to see that Ye Qiao was also there. He immediately greeted him, calling him by his full name.


    Hee Mu was stunned after shouting, because everyone''s gaze turned towards him.


    The atmosphere was a little awkward, but as Liu Tong was still an elder, he knew how to respond when he saw this situation. He smiled and beckoned for Hee Mu to follow him inside to take the recipe away, while giving the two of them space.


    When Liu Tong and Hee Mu went in, Lu Jinghuan reached out to close the door, and took a step in front of Ye Qiao.


    Ye Qiao frowned, he retreated a step and let him go.


    Lu Jinghuan didn''t say anything and just took a step forward. Separated by a thin sheet of paper, both of them could feel each other''s breath, as long as one of them leaned forward a little, the two would stick together.


    "What are you trying to do?" Ye Qiao said in displeasure.


    Lu Jinghuan looked like a complete scoundrel, smiling as he lowered his head and leaned towards Ye Qiao''s face, and blew on his ears. In that moment, all the goosebumps on Ye Qiao''s body rose up.


    "Nervous?"


    "Nope."


    "You''re already getting goosebumps, and you still say you''re not nervous?"


    Lu Jinghuan extended his hand out to point at Ye Qiao''s face, but he was pushed away by Ye Qiao''s hand. When Lu Jinghuan wanted to go closer, he saw that Ye Qiao had already revealed his silver needles, shining right in front of his eyes.


    To tell the truth, ever since he had been stabbed by last night, Lu Jinghuan had indeed been a little fearful.


    "Stay away from me." Ye Qiao said coldly.


    Lu Jinghuan raised his brows, raised his hands and took a step back.


    "Keep moving back."


    "¡­"


    "Later ¡­"


    "You can even make a move in public?"


    Ye Qiao was at a loss for words.


    Lu Jinghuan saw that Ye Qiao did not utter a word, and immediately had a plan. It seemed that even if he did not use force, he would still pay attention to the others'' gazes. However, this thought was quickly overturned by Lu Jinghuan himself, because he looked up and down, and Ye Qiao didn''t seem like someone who would care about the opinions of others ¡­ If Ye Qiao cared about it, it was to hide something.


    This discovery made Lu Jinghuan more and more interested in Ye Qiao.


    "Why are you looking at me?"


    "If you don''t look at me, how would you know that I''m looking at you?"


    "You''re a scoundrel."


    "Do I look like a good person before this?"


    Ye Qiao squinted his eyes, and said with a heavy tone: "There shouldn''t be anything on me that President Lu would want to see, right?"


    Lu Jinghuan did not go any closer to Ye Qiao. Instead, he leaned on the door and looked at him with a smile that was not a smile: "Whether or not I say it, it''s useless no matter how much you belittle yourself."


    "You know what I mean." Ye Qiao said coldly.


    A peculiar look flashed across his black eyes. Lu Jinghuan crossed his arms over his chest as he smiled at Ye Qiao: "Then, guess what I''ve really taken a fancy to."


    Ye Qiao''s eyes turned slightly cold as he stared at Lu Jinghuan and said word by word: "If I knew this would happen, I would have pierced you to death last night."


    "So you''ve wasted such a good opportunity." As Lu Jinghuan said that, he took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and opened it one layer at a time. Inside the handkerchief was the silver needle that Ye Qiao had left behind last night.


    Ye Qiao reached out to grab it, but Lu Jinghuan took the initiative and raised the silver needle in his hand high up. Ye Qiao was shorter than him by half a head, even if he tapped on the foot, he would not be able to reach''s hand.


    If his inner force was still present, Iron Dazhi''s palm would have shattered his bones.


    "The reason you came to find Liu Tong, was it also for that?"


    "It has nothing to do with you."


    "How could it be unrelated? I kindly asked for you. The person who polished your needle didn''t accept the single needle. Either he bought a new one, or he spent a whole set of money to buy one ¡­" Lu Jinghuan lowered his head and laughed next to Ye Qiao: "Thirty thousand yuan per set, with Mr Ye''s current financial situation, can you take that out?"


    Ye Qiao clenched his teeth in anger.


    Lu Jinghuan smiled as he wrapped the silver needle with a handkerchief and placed it back into his suit pocket. "You love this needle set so much, so you shouldn''t be willing to damage it, right?"


    Indeed, this silver needle was very important to Ye Qiao. If he wanted to recover his strength, he couldn''t lose any one of the set, but he had to be able to lower his head to Lu Jinghuan ¡­


    Ye Qiao would rather not have this inner force.


    Seeing Ye Qiao not reply for a long time, Lu Jinghuan turned to look at him, only to see that his face was even uglier than before. Ye Qiao subconsciously wanted to struggle free, but Lu Jinghuan hugged him even tighter, laughing beside his ear: "You made me suffer a loss last night, so I have to get back at you for something, don''t you think?"


    "F * ck off."


    "I don''t like hearing that word, so don''t say it again in the future."


    "Scram ¡­"


    Lu Jinghuan''s eyes turned cold. Without saying anything further, he kissed the mouth that didn''t listen to him, and then, as the person in his arms struggled, he fiercely bit down on his lips.


    Accompanied by a piercing pain, Ye Qiao clearly tasted the taste of his own blood.


    At this moment, Lu Jinghuan was like a demon, greedily sucking on the blood on his lips, the force was so strong that it seemed to suck it dry, causing the pain to turn into pain. It made Ye Qiao almost think that his lips were about to be bitten off.


    Ye Qiao was extremely furious and subconsciously raised his hand to strike at Lu Jinghuan, but when he thought about how his Qi was dispersed, his hand that was in the air unconsciously stopped.


    In that moment, just as Ye Qiao was hesitating over this, the Qi Sea in his Qi Sea started churning and churning.

 C40 Killing Intent Rose

    "The prescription is for a week''s worth of medicine. Secretary He, take it. Just go outside and find my shop assistant."


    Liu Tong''s voice suddenly came from behind the door, as though he had purposely raised his voice to remind the two people standing outside, and because of Liu Tong''s shout, Ye Qiao''s hand which was on Lu Jinghuan''s heart stopped, the killing intent in his eyes quickly dissipated, and he regained his senses. The moment Liu Tong opened the door, he immediately retracted his palm and pushed Lu Jinghuan away, turning his back to avoid the person who was coming out.


    Lu Jinghuan stumbled when he heard his, if not for his back pressing against the doorframe, he would have been pushed over by Ye Qiao.


    Liu Tong was the first one who came out of the room, and seeing that the two of them had one on each side with his back to the door, and the other standing on the other side, they could feel the cold and stalemate atmosphere between the two, and immediately understood what was going on. When Hee Mu came out with the medicinal formula, he interrupted the weird atmosphere between the two with a smile: "Since we already know each other, why not come in and drink a cup of tea together?"


    "No need." Feeling the swelling and pain on his lips, Ye Qiao didn''t turn his head around, and deliberately avoided Liu Tong''s and Hee Mu''s gazes, as he didn''t want them to notice any of his distress and abnormality. Even his tone of voice had been suppressed again and again, so as to not be unable to control his palm and kill Lu Jinghuan in public, "I remember I still have things to do, so I''ll be taking my leave first."


    "Mr Ye, Mr Ye ¡­" Before Liu Tong even had the chance to urge him to stay, Ye Qiao had already lifted the curtain and walked away.


    Isn''t he here to look for the Elder Liu? Hee Mu asked curiously at the side.


    Lu Jinghuan swept a glance at Hee Mu, and then turned to look at Ye Qiao who had walked away in large strides. He couldn''t help but reach out to touch his lips, and the lingering warmth told him how intense the contact just now was.


    The taste was good.


    "President Lu, you and Mr Ye ¡­"


    "Nothing, just a small misunderstanding."


    "So that''s how it is."


    "I still have some matters to take care of at the company. I''ll be leaving first."


    "I''ll send the two of you out."


    personally saw him out of the shop, and exchanged a few words before getting on the carriage. Just as he was about to leave, he realized that Ye Qiao had not even pushed the delivery station to the side of the street, as if something was wrong with the carriage.


    Hee Mu asked a few times whether or not he was directly going back to the company, but Lu Jinghuan did not reply him. Hee Mu was puzzled, he turned and saw Lu Jinghuan staring out of the window in a trance, Hee Mu followed his gaze and also saw Ye Qiao standing on the opposite side of the street.


    "It seems like the car broke down. President Lu, do you want to give him a lift?"


    "You know him well?"


    "No, no."


    "Drive back to the company."


    Hee Mu lowered his head to Lu Jinghuan and ordered the driver to drive away from the car park.


    Seeing that the person in the rearview mirror was getting further and further away, Lu Jinghuan squinted his eyes and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his lips.


    If he wasn''t mistaken, was that person trying to kill him before he opened the door?
