Chapter 2011: You Have Nothing to Say to Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ye Qingqiu went to class in the morning and heard her classmates mentioning today’s trending topic.
She took out her phone and opened it to take a look. The hot search had the words “Zhenlong Bureau” on it. When she randomly clicked on a topic, it was filled with criticism.
Getting a big IP sounded like a good job, but the bigger the IP, the more fans the original novel had and the more anti-fans it had.
Therefore, any commotion would attract negative comments.
Sarcasm towards capital, the current situation of the entertainment industry, disrespect towards works and so on…
!!
Some of the comments were unsightly and were even praised by others.
Ye Qingqiu took a quick glance and kept her phone with a cold expression. She didn’t attend the last class and left school early. She went to the restaurant to “repay her debt” as usual in the afternoon so that she could have lunch before work.
There were many people gathered at the entrance of the restaurant. There was a work pass around their necks and the equipment in their hands made them look like reporters.
She walked into the dining room as if nothing had happened. Luoluo was hiding in the changing room. When she saw her, she looked like she had seen her savior.
“Little Ye, the manager seems to be angry again. There are many reporters outside.”
“Why are you hiding?” Ye Qingqiu placed her bag in the cabinet.
“There are so many reporters outside…” Luo Luo repeated, looking conflicted and afraid.
Closing the cabinet, Ye Qingqiu turned to look at her. “Did you do something wrong?”
Luo Luo paused. “No…”
“What are you afraid of?”
“I’m afraid I’ll say the wrong thing… And sometimes, their reports will be exaggerated and taken out of context. I’m afraid…”
“You’re avoiding them now, but you’ll still have to face them in the future. Since you’re in this industry, isn’t this the most basic thing? Don’t worry, nothing will happen to you this time. Everyone will subconsciously sympathize with the weaker party. Besides, you’re really innocent.”
Luo Luo fell silent for a while, visibly moved.
“Little Ye…” She hesitated for a while and suddenly said,” Why did this matter suddenly blow up and become so popular? ”
It was common in the industry to bring capital into a production team. Even if it was exposed, it would not cause such a huge commotion.
Hearing this, Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t that good? Don’t you feel relieved?”
Luo Luo nodded. “You’re right. I’m afraid…”
“You suspect that I did it?” Ye Qingqiu asked bluntly.
Luo Luo said awkwardly, “I’m afraid you’ll get into trouble because of me.”
Ye Qingqiu stared at her for a while before saying, “Don’t worry. Even if I like you, I only like you.”
Her words were straightforward, but they sounded like what Ye Qingqiu should say. Luo Luo didn’t feel uncomfortable, but she didn’t understand.
“Go out. Tell the truth if the reporters ask you anything. If you don’t know how to answer, don’t answer. They can’t eat you.”
After Ye Qingqiu finished speaking, she left the changing room. It was rare for her to have lunch on time.
They had ordered food before she came. As soon as she came out, the dishes were served one after another.
She ate casually. She had eaten too often in the restaurant these few days and the taste was too monotonous. It was all for convenience and to fill her stomach.
However, before she could finish the pasta, her phone rang.
Glancing at the screen, her eyebrows twitched and she retracted her gaze. She took two bites of the spaghetti and picked up a prawn.
The call ended automatically.
In less than two minutes, it rang again.
She picked up the phone with her free hand and answered the call.
“What’s the matter?”
“Where?” A familiar cold voice.
“Restaurant.”
There was silence for a while.
Ye Qingqiu ate the noodles lazily and didn’t intend to speak.
After a long while, Li Tingshen spoke again, “Don’t you have anything to tell me?”
Ye Qingqiu smirked. “You called me and asked me what I want to tell you?”
“Didn’t you see the news online?”
“I did. Serves you right. What happened next?”
Silence again.
“Ye Qingqiu,” Li Tingshen said calmly, “Return to the Ye family after dinner.”
Ye Qingqiu paused with the fork in her hand and said coldly, “Reason.”
“Because I have to deal with this matter next. I don’t have time to coax you. Go back to the Ye family for now.”
“Is that really the case?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay. But according to what you told me at the beginning, you probably reversed the order. I know what happened online, so what do you think I should tell you?”
“Didn’t you already say what you needed to say?”
“Serves you right?” Ye Qingqiu sneered. “You have good cards, but you ended up like this because of Liang Xuer. You deserve it. But you probably didn’t call me to say this.”
“What do you think I want to hear?”
“I did.” Ye Qingqiu didn’t pause at all. “Are you here to criticize me?”
“So did you do it?”
Ye Qingqiu sneered. He was indeed here to denounce her.
“Didn’t you already have an answer when you called me?”
Putting down the fork in her hand, she grabbed the glass of ice water beside her but didn’t pick it up.
“I’ll go back to the Ye family. It’s not that you’re chasing me away, but because I really don’t want to see you anytime soon.”
With that, Ye Qingqiu hung up.
She picked up the glass and downed the ice water.
During lunchtime, Ye Qingqiu sat in front of the piano.
In the end, she did not perform well in the afternoon. After receiving two complaints, the manager only mentioned it to her and did not say much.
After all, he was a high-spending customer.
After finishing her work, she returned to the Ye family.
Everyone in the Ye family could tell that she was in a bad mood.
The servants became even more cautious.
“Did you quarrel with Tingshen?” Ye Jianyun asked when he saw that she didn’t eat much during dinner.
“No.” Ye Qingqiu held her chin and casually picked up a mouthful of food. “Something happened at his company and he needs time to settle it. He doesn’t have time to accompany me.”
This excuse was trustworthy.
“He’s still young and ambitious. It’s a good thing for a man to have ambitions. The more successful he is, the more assured I will be to hand you over to him. The two of you have been together for a long time. At such a critical time, if you can’t help him, don’t cause trouble for him. One of us has to accommodate the other.”
Ye Qingqiu put down her chopsticks and smiled at Ye Jianyun. “I think you’re warning him not to ignore me. Are you starting to be biased now?”
“Silly girl, isn’t this for your future?”
“It sounds like it. However, I’ve never thought that these words would come out of your mouth.”
Ye Jianyun narrowed her eyes and ate. She spoke but didn’t look up.
“Now that you’re married, it’s different from when you were dating in the past. If you can’t continue dating, you can break up. But once you can’t continue dating… it’s very harmful to girls. I’m telling you this so that you can protect your marriage, but I can only tell Tingshen to take good care of you. You can’t and don’t have the right to ask him for anything. Do you understand?”
Ye Qingqiu frowned and stared at Ye Jianyun for a while. Then, she smiled and said,
“I understand. But… why are you suddenly thinking so much for me? Not to mention that I haven’t considered divorcing him, even if there’s a day when I can’t live on, don’t I have you to support me?”
Ye Jianyun shook his head. “I can’t accompany you forever…”
“Dad!” Ye Qingqiu’s voice suddenly sounded. Ye Jianyun looked up. Ye Qingqiu’s beautiful face was unprecedentedly serious. “Are you hiding something from me?”
Ye Jianyun tightened her grip on her chopsticks. “What can I hide from you?”
“For example, your current physical condition.”
Ye Jianyun sighed deeply and said, “Forget it, I won’t tell you about these things in the future. If I say anything more, I’m afraid I’ll die of illness in your heart.”
“Are you really fine?” Ye Qingqiu stared at him.
“Do you think I’ve lived too long?”
Ye Qingqiu retracted her gaze. “Of course not.”
Even so, after dinner, Ye Qingqiu gave Ye Ze a call and asked him to check her father’s recent medical results.
After Ye Ze agreed, Ye Qingqiu hung up and went to take a shower. She didn’t notice the brief pause on Ye Ze’s end.

The trending searches were removed and the public relations team continued to pay attention to the situation online. From the decrease in discussion, the public relations team was still very effective.
Li Tingshen returned to the apartment after work. When he opened the door, he was not surprised to see Lian Lili sitting on the sofa.
