“I originally wanted to increase your salary, and I heard that Lu Qinshang planned to accompany Ren Guangxi to the variety show as a form of guidance.
Now, it seems like I’ll have to reconsider.” Lin Qingqian’s beautiful face was filled with regret. “I’ll look for other options.” Lu Qinshang was going too?
Wouldn’t that mean that she could see her idol often?
Suisui’s eyes lit up as she hurriedly said, “I’ll go! I’ll go!”
“Huh?” Lin Qingqian looked at her with a worried expression. “That’s not good.
It won’t be good if your idol misunderstands that you’ve climbed over the wall.”
“No!” Suisui said decisively, “He’s a handsome and kind person. How can he be a narrow-minded person? Besides…”
She said sincerely, “Everyone is quite busy. How can I burden everyone because of me? Boss, let me go!”
Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. “Are you sure?”
Suisui nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Won’t it cause you trouble?”
“It won’t!”
Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Then go ahead.”
Suisui clenched her fists and jumped up excitedly. “Yes!!”
My idol, I’m coming!!
Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but remind her, “Calm down. Don’t forget that you represent the company now. You can’t embarrass the company.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely serve our clients with professionalism. I won’t let the company be humiliated.” Suisui patted her chest and promised.
Lin Qingqian was not worried about her makeup skills. At the moment, there were not many people in the entire industry who were better than her.
“By the way, why isn’t Xiao Bai here today?” Lin Qingqian saw that Han Liubai’s office was empty this morning.
“I heard from Su Ying that he took leave and said that he’s not feeling well,” Suisui replied.
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Got it. Go ahead.”
Suisui jumped out of the office happily. Lin Qingqian looked at her happy appearance and shook her head helplessly.
Suisui carried her food and took a taxi to the television station to put on makeup for Ren Guangxi, who was about to record a show.
Ren Guangxi had already changed and was sitting in front of the mirror. When he saw Suisui, he said politely and distantly, “You’ve worked hard.”
Suisui put down the makeup box. As she opened it and took out her tools, she said, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard… You’ve done the basic makeup, right?” “Yes.” Ren Guangxi nodded.
Suisui took out several bottles and placed them on the dressing table. As she applied his makeup, she couldn’t help but praise, “Your skin is so good. It’s the best skin I’ve ever worked with.”
“Is that so? Thank you.”
Ren Guangxi was usually very cold and quiet. It was only because Suisui was from Lin Qingqian’s company that he answered.
Suisui could not stop talking. “That’s right! And you sing very well. If you had debuted a few years earlier, I would definitely have become your fan.” Ren Guangxi pursed his lips and smiled. “Thank you.”
Suisui did not say anything. Just as she was about to put on eye makeup for him, a sinister voice sounded behind her. “It’s not too late to become one now!”
Suisui felt a chill run down her spine. She turned her neck mechanically and saw Lu Qinshang standing at the door. His face was still handsome and charming, but his expression looked like he wanted to eat her up.
.” Yan Sui, Yan Sui, who asked you to spout nonsense! Can’t you put on the makeup without opening your mouth?!
At this moment, Suisui really wanted to slap herself.
Lu Qinshang walked in with his hands in his pockets and sat down on the sofa.
His slender legs overlapped, and he looked especially imposing.
Ren Guangxi called out politely, “Brother Lu.”
Lu Qinshang hummed softly. “Don’t be nervous later. Just follow the rough procedures on the script.”
Ren Guangxi nodded. “I know.”
Lu Qinshang glanced at Suisui. “What are you waiting for?”
Suisui came back to her senses and continued to put on makeup for Ren Guangxi as if she had woken up from a dream. However, she felt an inexplicable sense of pressure.
After Ren Guangxi finished his makeup, Sister Chan came over to bring him to see the executive director.
In an instant, only Suisui and Lu Qinshang were left in the dressing room. The atmosphere was very strange.
Suisui lowered her head and carefully cleaned up the brushes and bottles of makeup. She kept begging in her heart, “Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and let me catch my breath!”
She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice when Lu Qinshang was standing behind her. When she turned around, she was shocked.
Her body instinctively bumped back. Lu Qinshang reacted quickly and placed his hand in front of the dressing table. Her waist bumped into his hand.
Lu Qinshang did not even frown. He lowered his voice and said, “Is he more handsome than me?”
“Of course it’s my child who’s…” Seeing his dark face, Suisui reacted in time. “No! Of course it’s Big Brother who’s handsome! Big Brother is the most handsome man in the universe!”
“Is his skin better, or mine?” Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows and asked again.
Suisui said without thinking, “Of course it’s Big Brother! Big Brother’s skin is like the freshest lychee. It’s tender and smooth with the exterior peeled off. In the entire entertainment industry, even female celebrities can’t compare to you.”
This wave of flattery made Lu Qinshang feel refreshed, but he didn’t show it on his face. “Then are you still climbing walls?”
“Climbing walls? How is that possible!” Suisui said sincerely, “I was born as Big Brother’s Maple Leaf, and I’ll die as Big Brother’s Maple Leaf. It’s impossible for me to climb the wall in my life, and I won’t!”
Lu Qinshang finally looked satisfied. He retracted his hand from behind her. “Remember what you said today. If I find out that you climbed the wall, I’ll break your legs!”
He bent his finger and tapped her head twice before turning to walk out.
Suisui was dumbfounded. She raised her hand to touch her forehead and back…
Oh my god! He touched me, he touched me…
Boohoo, I don’t want to wash my face and take a shower anymore in my life…
His hands were so hot, and there was a faint perfume smell on his body. Boohoo… I’m so thirsty…
Suisui held her burning face and spun on the spot. When she looked up and saw herself in the mirror, she immediately felt a bucket of cold water pour over her from head to toe. She was completely awake.
“No, I’m a mother fan. How can I covet my child’s body…”
She raised her hand and knocked her little head, knocking out those charming and unrealistic fantasies from her mind!
At sunset, Chen Mu drove from the busy road into a high-end neighborhood.
The car stopped at the entrance of the building. Lin Qingqian pushed open the car door and said before getting out, “You don’t have to follow me. I’ll be down in a while.”
Chen Mu sat in the car and waited.
Lin Qingqian carried a fruit basket and pressed the doorbell. The door opened after a while.
Han Liubai stood at the door and watched her walk out of the elevator. His eyes were gentle. “Why are you here?”
Lin Qingqian looked at his pale face and haggard appearance and couldn’t help but frown. “I heard that you were sick, so I came to visit you.”
Han Liubai took out a pair of slippers from the cabinet for her to change into. “It’s nothing. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days.”
Lin Qingqian handed the fruit basket to him and changed into the slippers. She turned to look at him. “You say this every time. You don’t take care of yourself at all.”
Han Liubai did not get angry when he heard her reprimand. Instead, he smiled.
Lin Qingqian: “What are you laughing at?”
Han Liubai placed the fruit basket on the table and poured her some water. “It’s been many years since someone cared about me like this.”
Lin Qingqian walked over to take the cup and said softly, “Although we’re colleagues, you’re already a friend in my heart. I want you to be well.” Han Liubai nodded. “Since we’re friends, can I call you Qingqian in the future?
Lin Qingqian nodded without any hesitation. “Of course.”
Her voice paused for a moment before saying, “By the way, I found a housekeeping auntie for you. She’ll come and take care of your daily life in the future.”
Han Liubai was slightly stunned. “A part time housekeeping auntie?”
“That’s right.” Lin Qingqian said with concern, “You live alone and don’t take care of yourself. It’s too worrying. I’ll feel more at ease with an auntie taking care of you.”
“Can’t you take care of me?” The words were about to leave his mouth when he swallowed them silently. “Alright, let her come over.”
“I personally went to the housekeeping company to choose her. Her evaluation is very good. If you need anything, just tell her.”
Han Liubai looked at her gently. “Got it.”
Lin Qingqian finished her cup of water and stood up. “I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll go back now.”
Han Liubai stood up as well, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes. “Let me treat you to a meal.”
“You’re not in good health, so rest well.” Lin Qingqian picked up her bag. “There’s no need to send me off. Rest well.”
Han Liubai could only send her to the door and watch her back enter the elevator…
He could sense Lin Qingqian’s relationship with him, and similarly, he could sense a distance in this concern.
If not for Jiang Yanshen, would she still treat him like an outsider?
When Lin Qingqian returned to Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen was already at home.
When the auntie saw her return, she went forward and asked if they were ready for dinner.
Jiang Yanshen nodded, put down the newspaper, and stood up from the sofa. As he walked towards the restaurant, he said, “You came back a little late today.”
Usually, if there was nothing special, Lin Qingqian would return earlier than him.
Lin Qingqian placed her handbag at the entrance and changed her shoes before walking over. She did not hide it from him. “Xiao Bai’s health is not good. I went to visit him after work.”
Jiang Yanshen’s eyes darkened slightly. However, with his previous experience, he no longer expressed his disgust for Han Liubai.
“Where is he feeling unwell?” Jiang Yanshen pulled out the chair beside him and waited for her to sit down before sitting down. “I know a few good doctors who can be introduced to him.
“There’s no need. I only know that his heart is weak.” Lin Qingqian looked at him. “If he doesn’t take the initiative to tell us about his matters, it won’t be good if we take the initiative and intrude too much.”
Jiang Yanshen nodded and heard her say, “He doesn’t have any relatives or friends in Lan City. I found him a part-time auntie to take care of him.”
“A part-time auntie?” Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows.
Lin Qingqian: “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Yanshen coughed lightly. “Nothing. I just thought that you would take care of him personally.”
A hint of helplessness flashed past Lin Qingqian’s eyes. “Do you think I’m stupid? Although he saved me before and I treat him as a friend, there’s still a difference between men and women. There have to be some taboos, moreover
She paused and looked at him with a smile. “There’s a vinegar vat at home. How would I dare?”
“You don’t dare?” Jiang Yanshen didn’t care about her teasing anymore. Instead, he started settling old scores with her.. “Then why didn’t you agree when I asked you to fire him?”
