Chapter 40
The charming peach blossom eyes of the boy in front of her were gazing down at her, his mature and elegant features carried a youthful and refreshing air. These two contrasting qualities actually blended together quite well on his face.
Yu Du, it was the male livestreamer that Yi Qingju had a crush on.
The moment he saw the girl's appearance, a hint of amazement flashed through Yu Du's eyes, but it also seemed a little familiar to him.
Then, looking embarrassed, he let go of her hand: "Are you okay?"
He smiled.
Yi Qingju shook her head, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, thank you."
After nodding to Yu Du in thanks, she hurriedly walked out.
Watching the girl's hurried figure, Yu Du rubbed his fingertips.
She seems to be very busy, should I have asked for her WeChat just now? Does she work here?
Yi Qingju's heart was pounding rapidly.
Ever since that night, Yu Du didn't seem to want to say anything more about what happened afterwards on his livestream, because he felt guilty. Yi Qingju spent a whole night donating money to compensate him, making Yu Du feel too embarrassed to accept her gifts that he ended the livestream directly.
"What is he doing at Qi's Group?"
After getting into the car, Yi Qingju thought about it and sent a WeChat message to Yu Du.
The two hadn't spoken again after that day.
Monkey King's Butt That's Red: Are you there?
Monkey King's Butt That's Red: My friend works at Qi's Group and said she saw you there.
Yi Qingju put the key in the car and touched the steering wheel.
It took about a minute before she got a reply back.
Fish Riding Bicycle: Oh? What a coincidence.
Fish Riding Bicycle: I was originally planning to surprise everyone on the livestream, didn't expect to be found out hehe【playful emoji】
Fish Riding Bicycle: Actually, yesterday Qi's Entertainment's people suddenly contacted me saying they wanted to sign me, and I'm here today to learn more about the situation.
Yi Qingju's mind went blank for a moment.
Her first thought was: "This must be Qi Weiran's doing."
"He really didn't believe what I said that day."
The little appendage that crawled out swayed its head and said: 【With that excuse, even a pig wouldn't believe it】
Her phone rang a few more times and Yi Qingju frowned as she glanced over. As she read it, she almost jumped up and hit her head.
Fish Riding Bicycle: Hey Monkey sis.....can you ask your friend if she recognizes this girl?
【image】
It was a photo of a girl from behind, with long slightly curly hair flowing down, wearing a light purple ankle-length sea otter fur open front coat. Her figure was slender and delicate. Just from the back view, one could tell she was a beauty.
Yi Qingju glanced at the identical open front coat she had just taken off in the passenger seat, and without any hesitation replied—
Monkey King's Butt That's Red: She doesn't recognize her.
Fish Riding Bicycle: That fast?
Throwing her phone aside, Yi Qingju didn't reply anymore.
The little appendage lying on her leg curiously asked: 【Don't you really like him?】
Seeing the green light turn on, Yi Qingju stared straight ahead and said: "But it can't be now."
"Firstly, Qi Weiran isn't dead yet."
"Secondly, he got signed by Qi's Entertainment, and Qi Weiran still suspects something between me and him. If it gets labeled as adultery, I won't get a single penny of the inheritance."
"Thirdly, I was just indulging myself for fun, it's not like I actually wanted anything to happen with him."
The little appendage let out an "oh~" and slid down to Yi Qingju's knee as the car swayed. Then it asked again: "You've already earned so much money from selling pork, do you still need Qi Weiran's inheritance?"
Seeing the traffic light turn green, she said without moving her eyes: "Who doesn't want more money, besides, no matter how much I earn, it still doesn't add up to as much as Qi Weiran's inheritance."
"I'm just an entrepreneur who got a gold finger tip about the swine fever outbreak. He is a genuine business prodigy with his family's accumulated wealth."
"According to the gossip in these circles, I'm just a nasty upstart, and a lowly one at that."
The little appendage drooped its head sadly: 【Don't feel upset, host】
Yi Qingju reached out a hand to stroke its head: "I'm fine. Just being able to earn money I didn't even dare dream of in my past life is already a huge blessing."
"I don't care what they think of me. Selling pork to strike it rich, even striking it rich from shoveling manure, I'll still spend the money heartily and justified."
Little Appendage: 【.....There's no need for that】
After making a trip to the pig farm, Yi Qingju discussed the location for the new company's site with An De before handing over the matter to him.
She couldn't personally take care of it herself because of all the constraints on her.
But luckily she had the little appendage, this gold finger. Using advanced technology, it somehow obtained an old surname Qi that had been missing for many years and no one was looking for.
Then she used that name to register accounts and various processes that required real-name identification. Even Qi Weiran wouldn't be able to find anything out about it.
At lunch, she sat alone with An De while the employees ate together.
Pouring fruit juice for Yi Qingju, An De sincerely thanked her from the bottom of his heart: "If not for Boss Yi, how could I be where I am today."
Fate truly worked in mysterious ways. If he hadn't spoken to Yi Qingju that day, perhaps he would have already become one of the industry's first victims, pathetically returning home with his tail between his legs.
But now, he had bought an apartment in the expensive S City, and had the money to get medical treatment for his wife. In the future, he would also have the ability to provide better education for his child.
All this, he had to thank Yi Qingju.
Yi Qingju clinked glasses with him: "Uncle An, you should be thanking your own hard work."
Hearing this, An De couldn't help but open the floodgates: "Boss Yi, I know I shouldn't ask this, but I'm just so curious, you don't have to say anything if you don't want to, I just want to ask."
"Your son's surname is Qi, and later you also told Qi's Group your surname was Qi. Is there really some kind of relation between you two and Qi's?"
Yi Qingju had already guessed he would ask this question. She immediately heaved a deep sigh and shook her head again, still not saying anything.
But just these two actions were enough for An De to imagine an entire melodramatic storyline.
Returning home, Aunt Zhang asked: "Mistress, you're back so late today?"
"Mm, I went shopping."
Just as she was about to go upstairs, Aunt Zhang called out to her again: "Oh right, don't forget in a couple days it's the Master's birthday."
Then she laughed at herself: "Look at me, why do I even need to remind you, you're probably counting down the days."
Saying so, she turned and left.
Leaving Yi Qingju standing there gripping the staircase railing, her face frozen.
The busy entrepreneur had truly forgotten.
"An insult, this is an insult to my identity as a Qi Weiran licker!"
Saying so, she didn't go up to her room anymore and grabbed her keys to run out the door.
Feeling a little dizzy from her shaking, the little appendage asked: 【Where are you going?】
"To pick out a present for my God of Wealth."
But before she could even get to the door, an unfamiliar car suddenly pulled up.
It wasn't that Yi Qingju had sharp eyes, just that she was so familiar with every car in the garage, at least half of them were hers, so she remembered them exceptionally clearly.
Just as she was wondering about it, the car suddenly stopped right in front of her.
The window slowly rolled down, revealing a familiar face.
