Kieshi: I’m sorry for not posting a complete chapter 90. I will update them as soon as possible in this post, so I’m not posting them in separate posts. My IRL got busier so my translating time got cut much >.<
Updated to the whole chapter on June 24
The audition was still very early. Yan Chu was pondering the script these days, along with the study of his cooking. Life was also fleeting.
It had been almost a week since the previous meeting. If the other party could not take the initiative, then he would. Yan Chu made a phone call with his parents in this world. After that, the soup he cooked slowly over a low flame in the early morning was good enough.
“Secretary Jiang, Mr. Yan, who came over last time, said he was looking for President Zhong.”
Jiang Xin received a call from the receptionist downstairs. She did not hang up and asked the person there to wait. Then she got up and went to the president’s office.
“President Zhong, Mr. Yan is looking for you. Do you want to let him come up?”
It had been more than a week since the last dinner party, and she had not seen them at the dinner party since then. Mr. Zhong mentioned that the young man had gone by himself. Was he out of favor?
Thanks to her face, Jiang Xin could not understand Zhong Li’s meaning and did not dare to make her own decision, so she knocked on the door and reported to Zhong Li.
“Let him- forget it, let him come up.”
Zhong Li thought of that spoiled boy. She had a headache, but her face slightly reddened.
Although her face was tight, the blush betrayed her true feelings.
Jiang Xin naturally did not miss the shyness that had been rare in the president’s face. That Yan Chu was not out of favor, and he was very favored.
In this case, why did not President Zhong summon him recently? Was it because you are worried about neglecting everything for beauty?
The secretary’s love brain made up a big drama in her mind, and when Yan Chu didn’t know it, she gave him the name of the blue-faced calamity28blue-faced calamitya male confidant who has a good relationship, but it is easy to become a lover by accident.
“Why are you here?”
Zhong Li was quite natural, sitting in her position, also did not want to get up.
The more she thought about it now, the more she felt that what she did was ridiculous. This kid was different from those who unscrupulously climbed up in the entertainment circle. When she investigated the other party, she knew that the other party’s reason for working in the Blue to earn medical expenses for his father, including later agreeing to her request for care, was also because his father urgently needed the money for the operation.
Zhong Li thought she was still a little bit canny after staying in this circle for a long time.
The kid’s eyes were pure and clear. Now the other party just appreciated that she had paid to save his father. He did not realize how humiliating it was to be kept. When there was more gossip from the outside world in the future, that child could not stand the criticism of others, and she did not want to hurt a kind-hearted youth for her impulse.
So after that dinner, she subconsciously kept a distance from Yan Chu to prevent the other party from having the opportunity to think about it.
“I’m sending you lunch. Although my skill isn’t as good as the chef in the hotel, I still can eat it. Moreover, all the ingredients are fresh and hygienic, rich in nutrition, and natural pollution-free.”
While boasting, Yan Chu opened the insulation box, removed the documents in front of Zhong Li, and placed three dishes, one soup, two servings of meat, and two servings of vegetables in front of her, plus a bowl of millet congee that nourished the stomach.
“You don’t have to do that. Later, I’ll let the legal department draw up a brokerage contract. Don’t you always want to be a star? The money I gave you at the beginning should be deducted from your subsequent remuneration.”
The implication, it was their relationship now.
Zhong Li looked at the steaming heat in front of her. Although it was not exquisite enough, she could see that the owner had spent a lot of time on this lunch. She hesitated for a moment and started to talk.
It was just that the other party was too good, so this twisted relationship should not continue.
Yan Chu was almost dumbfounded. Could it be that he did something wrong, which caused dissatisfaction from the golden master? He did not encounter this situation in his previous life.
He did not know that he was so good that he drew the golden master’s pity and sympathy.
“You don’t want me anymore?”
Yan Chu’s tone was faint, and Zhong Li, who was drinking sweet millet congee, felt her back was chilly and had goosebumps instantly.
That said, she became the kind of woman who always abandoned him, but they had no substantial relationship from beginning to end.
“Hands are also held.”
He took the initiative.
“A kiss is also a kiss.”
That time in the car.
“Even after that, you don’t want me.”
Yan Chu’s accusation made Zhong Li a little guilty, especially when she looked at the other person, the baby man’s hidden bitterness little eyes.
“You are still a student. Haven’t you ever thought about how our relationship will affect you once it is exposed?”
Zhong Li was bitter and felt that she had experienced the feeling of being a mother earlier. That was to say, but the naive brat was a bit older.
“I’m an adult, and according to the law, I can get a marriage certificate. Besides, what’s the relationship between us, an unmarried man and an unmarried woman? How does our relationship hinder others?”
Yan Chu retorted one by one, “Anyway, you say so much, you just don’t want me.”
Zhong Li couldn’t laugh or cry. Why did she feel that she got circumvented by the other party’s words?
But thought about it, they were an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, how they got along had nothing to do with others.
“I’ll think about it again.”
The usually shrewd President Zhong was out of words at the moment. Maybe she did not wholly want to let Yan Chu leave. Those words just now were merely her education, and her moral code did not allow her to do that. She was able to accept it with ease after Yan Chu refused a few times.
“Don’t think about it. I think I like you quite a bit.”
As soon as Yan Chu heard that the other party no longer said that she wanted to end this nurturing relationship, he immediately regained his vitality and enthusiastically helped Zhong Li with her congee.
If he had a tail, it would be wagging very happily.
“Can I come and bring you meals every day from now on?”
Yan Chu took advantage of favorable opportunities. Now the golden master’s performance was very wrong. He could no longer take the semi-passive way as before. He must take the initiative to attack and gradually let the golden master get used to his existence.
“Aren’t you going to audition for Director He’s new play soon? Why? Do you think you can’t pass?”
Zhong Li also planned not to mention what happened just now. After finishing the last mouthful of congee, she wiped her mouth and asked.
“Don’t worry. I won’t disgrace you. Can I send you food when I’m not filming?”
Yan Chu thought for a while, then changed his words.
Zhong Li did not refuse or accept. Yan Chu knew that the other party’s attitude meant that she agreed.
“Also, your phone number. What’s the relationship between the two of us? I can’t get in touch with you in the future. It’s all through Secretary Jiang.”
Yan Chu took out his mobile phone and handed it to Zhong Li. Zhong Li glanced at him, took it, and added her contact person to the contact book, which was filled with her private number.
Yan Chu took it and changed the note from Zhong Li to Sister Li in front of her.
Such a straightforward and undisguised show made Zhong Li a little flustered.
Yan Chu dialed Zhong Li’s phone directly and looked at Zhong Li eagerly. She could not resist this little coquettish look. She reluctantly took out her mobile phone and saved his mobile phone number on her mobile phone at the same time.
“Just my name?”
Yan Chu looked at the notes on her mobile phone, and his tone was somewhat predestined, remarkably like a disgruntled woman who fell out of favor.
Zhong Li did not know whether to laugh or cry. She handed her phone to the other party’s hand, watching him put on a smile again, and she was relieved.
No, it was clear that she was the golden master and the boss. How come she was being led by the nose step by step now?
Zhong Li suddenly thought about it, but she recalled that the other side was six years younger than her. For her, he was just a naive young man, so she indulged him.
After Yan Chu handed the phone over, Zhong Li looked at the same note on the phone, looked at the other party’s straightforward eyes, put the phone away, and agreed tacitly to the other party’s naming.
“When will you go home? I’m actively working out every day.”
To make sure that the golden master would not mention the dissolution of the nurturing relationship in a short time, Yan Chu was ready to make a move again.
Today, he was wearing a loose white T-shirt. He lifted his clothes with both hands and raised his hands to reveal his buff chest and abs. The shape of the muscles was perfect. Two attractive mermaid lines disappeared from both sides to the trousers of his lower body, which made him more and more seductive.
Zhong Li touched her nose uncomfortably. How could a man be so flirty, so that she, a woman who has been single for nearly 30 years, almost could not control her boiling desire?
“Put your clothes on, so you won’t be worried about freezing.”
She meditated in her heart that the opposite person was six years younger than her and still a child, and then she gradually calmed down.
“Oh.”
Yan Chu was very obedient and pulled down the clothes he had lifted.
“Then show it to you when you get home and turn on the heating.”
These words were silly, but it was to Zhong Li’s appetite. For a moment, President Zhong, who was a little mensao27mensaooutwardly cold or retiring but deep and passionate inside, suddenly thought of the other party lying on the bed and then slowly undressing, first his shirt, then his trousers.
It was not until some unspeakable part was about to be revealed that Zhong Li realized what she had thought.
Beast, this was just a child.
Zhong Li cursed in her heart for a while. She thought she was getting a big boy back for herself. Now he was indeed a big boy. At the same time, he was also a seductive little fairy. It was easy to make mistakes.
Yan Chu fiercely showed his loyalty to the golden master, and after giving off a wave of hormonal power in passing, he went back with a lunch box.
There were still many things to do for the golden master. It was a shame to the excellent little wolfdog30little wolfdogyoung men who were brought up by wealthy and older women for delaying the golden master.
Walking downstairs, Yan Chu was stopped by two men in black when he was going to the subway station near the company.
“Are you Yan Chu?”
The man, who wore black-rimmed glasses, 1.9 meters tall, and was not easy to provoke at first glance, asked Yan Chu.
“No.”
Yan Chu replied without thinking.
At this speed of answering, he blocked everything the two bodyguards had to say next.
Unmistakably, it was accurately the same as in the photo, but he said he was not.
The two bodyguards glanced at each other and stretched out their hands directly at Yan Chu: “Our master wants to see you, so please to follow us, Mr. Yan.”
That attitude was thoroughly irresistible. Probably, if he said no, the other party would tie him back.
Yan Chu helplessly held the insulation box he had bought at a high price and followed them into a low-key black car.
“Are you Yan Chu, the pretty boy my daughter kept?”
In a villa that covered a large area, an elderly, who looked hale and hearty in his 70s and 80s, stared at Yan Chu. His imposing manner did not wane at all.
As a task executor, Yan Chu also had difficult times. Such an old man who had retired and followed morality for many years was not enough to scare him.
“How much is it for you to leave her, you quote.”
What Zhong Qinglong cared about most was his daughter. Now was also the time when he had a headache about his daughter’s marriage. How could he be willing to have such a pretty boy damaging his daughter’s reputation and delaying her for the second half of her life?
It really came.
Yan Chu remembered this in the tutorials on the Internet. In the past, it was all wealthy ladies who used to smash Cinderella with money, but in his case, it happened to have a gender swap.
“Uncle doesn’t like me. Can I ask why?”
He didn’t even look at the blank check handed by Zhong Qinglong and asked him back.
“Does this still need to be said?”
Zhong Qinglong was so angry that he laughed back.
“How can Zhong Qinglong’s daughter be with a man like you? It should be those young talents who have the same excellent family background who truly match her.”
The elder was a little proud. His daughter was not worthy of ordinary people.
“Can you be more specific, Uncle?”
Yan Chu asked again, recklessly.
Zhong Qinglong felt that the other party might not give up and also mercifully told him more.
“The future husband of Zhong Qinglong’s daughter is worth at least one billion Yuan and has an outstanding personal ability. He is not the kind of waste that only depends on his family. He has a good appearance and a good personality. He has at least a graduate degree, so studying abroad is better. Only in this way can she have a common language with Little Li…”
The elder said a lot, but Yan Chu could not fulfill anything except for a good appearance and a good personality.
Zhong Qinglong thought that this was enough for the young man in front of him to retreat.
“Uncle, with all due respect, Little Pear has already met the conditions mentioned above, so why let her find another strong man like her? I think I’m quite good, although I can’t meet Uncle’s conditions, I can make Little Pear happy, isn’t this the most important thing?”
Without the scene that Zhong Qinglong had expected, the pretty boy raised by his daughter promoted himself to him.
“It’s ridiculous. My daughter’s reputation is going to be gone for being involved with you.”
Zhong Qinglong, not being taken by Yan Chu’s ideas, angrily pointed to Yan Chu and scolded him.
“Uncle had a lot of confidantes when he was young, right?”
Confidantes were a nice word. When Zhong Qinglong was young, he was honestly not lacking in a woman, and he had been growing old these years and started to cultivate his spiritual and moral character. Then, this was the end of his relationship with those a bevy of young girls outside.
Zhong Qinglong blushed a little when a junior who had a relationship with his daughter pointed out this problem. He probably knew what Yan Chu wanted to say.
“Can men and women be the same? Anyway, your existence is Zhong Li’s stain.”
He wanted to drive this man away from his daughter before the outside world was aware of him.
“Uncle’s words are wrong. Now that men and women are equal. Isn’t Little Pear excellent? She is better than anyone else; is her current achievement worse than that of Uncle? She has expanded Zhong’s enterprise more than ten times.
She is so powerful and excellent, so why can’t she support me, let me relieve her fatigue, and add some fun outside of stressful work?”
Yan Chu opened his mouth and did not care about Zhong Qinglong’s eyes widening when he heard his words.
“Uncle, do you think, if Little Pear is with someone who is on the same level as himself, who would surrender first after they quarrel? Are you willing to let Little Pear suffers injustice? But I’m different. No matter what contradictions between us, that must be my fault. I have to hold her to support her. In the future, she will be busy with her career. It’s okay. I will bring the child up. Anyway, I’m free. If she is willing to give birth to one, I will bring one up, and if two, I bring two up. If the technology has developed enough that day, I will be willing to give birth.”
What a shameless man.
Zhong Qinglong felt that his worldview got subverted, but he repeatedly brainwashed and listened a lot, and suddenly felt very reasonable.
Weren’t his wives and those mistresses came to him for his money and status, including the third wife who gave birth to Zhong Li? Every day, she either bought whatever she wanted or traveled around and played mahjong with her best friends.
The situation of his daughter was similar to that of him now. It was reasonable to think about what Yan Chu said. His daughter was so capable and rich. Why should he find someone who was equally competent and rich? Wasn’t it how to be happy?
Of course, what Zhong Qinglong touched most was Yan Chu’s last words, that was, his grandson and granddaughter. He was seventy-nine this year. No matter how well he maintained himself, how many years would he have to live?
Although the young man was shameless, he was at least better than the real one. He was different from those people who clearly had ideas but still wanted to cover up their hypocrisy. Moreover, he was the first opposite sex she had contacted for the first time since his daughter grew up like this. If he indeed drove him away, where would he go to find a rare object for her?
Zhong Qinglong suddenly fell into entanglement.
“You came for money. Your intentions are not pure.”
After a long while, Zhong Qinglong came up with such a rebuttal. This pretty boy could be with her daughter for money and would do other things for money in the future. In short, it was not safe.
“In the beginning, I was indeed rushing for money, but she was too good. Now I’m rushing for her.”
Yan Chu’s eyes were so sincere, and there was no trace of lying. Zhong Qinglong did not know what to say when he said this.
His daughter was so excellent, so a man should like her, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the other party’s words?
Not for money, and wholeheartedly for my daughter, it seemed—
Pooh, pooh, pooh!
Zhong Qinglong scolded his weak-willed self. In the beginning, he wanted to drive the pretty boy away from his daughter. But now, he was circumvented by him.
“Dad.”
Zhong Li received a call from the receptionist, saying that Yan Chu was taken away by a few men in black as soon as he left the company gate. She thought of her dad for the first time, so she did not have time to deal with the company’s affairs and hurried back home.
The last sentence Yan Chu just said happened to be heard by her.
Originally for money, but now for her?
Her heart beat faster, but she did not show any signs on her face. She pushed open the door and entered without expression.
“Hmph, your dad doesn’t have time to invite you to dinner, but for the sake of the little man you raised, you have time to come back.”
The old man was jealous and glared at the smiling young man, who looked like a big dog.
Beauty was a disaster. When she had a man, she forgot her father.
The gloom behind Zhong Qinglong was becoming solid.
“Dad, it has nothing to do with him. I took a fancy to him when I went to the Blue and offered to support him.”
Zhong Li said to her father Zhong Qinglong instead of looking at Yan Chu’s passionate and happy starry eyes.
“I think you’re going to piss me off. What’s wrong with those young talents I’ve chosen for you? You have to choose one who lives off a woman.”
Zhong Qinglong slapped the table, but his words were like big thunder, little rain26big thunder, little rainspeaks very imposingly but has very little skill. When he spoke, his face was not flushed or breathless, and he was obviously not really angry with his daughter.
“I think Yan Chu is pretty good. He’s very well-behaved. At least I’m very relaxed with him. I don’t need to worry about something wrong with him after work.”
Zhong Li complained in her heart that he had not behaved at all. He just wanted to seduce her so she could not devote herself to regular work for a long time after she left.
“And with the young talents you introduced, I have to consider more trade-offs. I want a simple one.”
“Simple? This kid is after your money, not necessarily yourself. Are you truly confused?”
Zhong Qinglong heard his daughter say similar words as Yan Chu and immediately retorted with anger, but his heart loosened a lot.
“It doesn’t matter whether people or money. Anyway, the last thing I lack is money.”
The golden master was domineering and mighty, and she had gained a loyal look from the little wolfdog.
“Uncle, don’t worry, I’ll be filming soon. When I have made a few films and saved enough money to support myself for a lifetime, then you don’t have to worry that I’m after Little Pear’s money instead of herself.”
Yan Chu showed his loyalty at the right time.
“Get lost! Get lost! Get lost! I’m angry when I see you now. “
The elder stubbornly waved to his daughter and her little wolfdog, letting them stay together. He worried that he would be led abnormally.
Zhong Li said sorry to her father, then took her big wolfdog and went out.
“For me, not for my money?”
Zhong Li came out of the gate of the villa. Because she was in a hurry, she drove by herself. At this time, she sat in the driver’s seat and asked Yan Chu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, with a very complicated expression.
They had only been together for a few days, and the other party said that he fancied her. How much credibility could he have?
“Hmm, because you’re excellent and can attract me anytime, anywhere?”
Yan Chu was as straightforward as ever, with bright eyes, as if Zhong Li was all he had now.
