Although Qin Qiao'er had sounded so cool during the day, it was still she herself who lay in bed feeling annoyed at night.
She had finally managed to get through today's "cooperation" with the really annoying Song Qianqian. Now it was time to consider the next even more headache - inducing character...
Yes, it was Zhao Youting, this big trouble.
Although she had indeed come up with a plan, whether it could be carried out actually depended on whether Song Qianqian was capable enough.
Come to think of it, it was actually Zhao Youting's fault that she was associated with this troublemaker Song Qianqian again.
Qin Qiao'er was almost on the verge of depression. Why did this big - shot CEO not bother anyone else but always target her, the one who least wanted to have anything to do with him...
"Mummy—Mum—my—"
The childish voice beside her deliberately dragged out the words, which finally caught Qin Qiao'er's attention.
She sat up from lying on the bed and saw Chenchen in front of her with a serious expression. The child put a hand to his mouth, making a megaphone shape and shouting at her, as if he had been waiting for a while.
"It's time to eat, Mummy. I've called you several times and you didn't answer me! Aunt Qinqin made braised pork today. If you don't go now, there won't be any left!"
Although there was a bit of seriousness in his tone, this really cute kid was still cute no matter what.
He was just so adorable that one couldn't help but want to pinch his face.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming."
As she said this, Qin Qiao'er sat up and let Chenchen lead the way to the living room for dinner.
Just like always, it was a harmonious dinner today.
However, after dinner, Qin Qiao'er deliberately arranged for Chenchen to take Wanwan to the living room to watch a movie, and she also deliberately invited Tu Qinqin to wash the dishes with her.
Although Tu Qinqin, who could cook but firmly hated doing the dishes, really wanted to refuse, but seeing Qin Qiao'er winking so obviously, she had no choice but to comply obediently.
"Yo, being so mysterious. Are you going to tell me that brilliant plan you mentioned before?"
As the two of them were washing the dishes that should have been Qin Qiao'er's job alone, Tu Qinqin spoke first.
She also stopped washing the dishes in her hand and took a little break.
Qin Qiao'er nodded, but unexpectedly, she didn't start showing off as noisily as usual.
"What's going on? Is your brilliant plan under some kind of gag order?"
"Come on, stop teasing me."
Qin Qiao'er raised her hand and splashed some bubbles, pretending to smear them on Tu Qinqin. Tu Qinqin dodged quickly, but her mouth didn't stop.
"Then tell me. You said before that you were afraid I'd mess things up if I knew?"
Qin Qiao'er didn't stop rubbing the dishes in her hand. Instead, she sped up a bit, but at least she started speaking more normally.
"Ah, it's okay to tell you now. There was a show today where Song Qianqian and I were together. After that, I taught her a way to find someone to keep Zhao Youting in check..."
"Ha? You? Helping her deal with Zhao Youting? Are you okay?"
Tu Qinqin looked at Qin Qiao'er in disbelief, and her voice unconsciously got louder.
"I knew you'd react like this."
After saying that, Qin Qiao'er seemed to be a bit less tense. She pouted and looked much more natural.
"Why wouldn't I react like this? What on earth did Zhao Youting do to offend you? Things were fine before. Why are you even using Song Qianqian this time just to get rid of him?"
Qin Qiao'er was a bit stunned by this question. Thinking about it, there didn't seem to be any particular thing that had caused her to react so strongly...
If she had to say, it was just...
It was just that he said she was jealous.
But she couldn't say this out loud.
Seeing Qin Qiao'er fall silent again, Tu Qinqin guessed that she herself hadn't even figured it out.
Alas, being a manager was really so worrying!
Alas, being a manager was really so frustrating! On the other side, Song Qianqian really didn't idle around as Qin Qiao'er had hoped.
While grinding her teeth in hatred at what Qin Qiao'er had said, she also thought that what Qin Qiao'er said actually made some sense.
Starting from the Zhao family would indeed be more profitable.
This kind of "high - action ability" really gave a hard time to the manager who had always been cleaning up her mess.
The show that was supposed to start shooting tomorrow was simply postponed.
The reason was just that she had heard that General Manager Zhao's grandma had been feeling unwell recently, and as the fiancée of General Manager Zhao, she should go and visit her, which would take some time.
Where were you earlier? Why did you choose this time to go? Song Qianqian's manager rolled her eyes in her heart.
But because Zhao Youting thought it was reasonable and issued an "imperial edict", now she had to humble herself and apologize to the program crew and discuss the postponement.
To be honest, Song Qianqian wasn't really a brainless person who only knew how to pester others. She had long had her eye on the inside of the Zhao family.
She naturally knew that although Grandma Zhao was old, everyone in the Zhao family would listen to what she said.
Moreover, since Zhao Youting was filial, what his grandma said carried even more weight.
It was just that she didn't know where there was a flaw. Grandma Zhao's attitude towards her had always been as lukewarm as Zhao Youting's.
But it wasn't that Grandma Zhao hated her. Instead, because Song Qianqian had put a lot of effort into pleasing her before, Grandma Zhao still had some good feelings towards her and had even helped her a few times.
Alas~ She had been so angry before that she had actually forgotten this. Now she really had to thank Qin Qiao'er.
Thank her for pushing herself into a disadvantage.
As she thought about this, Song Qianqian, sitting beside the old lady, showed a malicious smile at the corner of her mouth, making her whole face look extremely terrifying.
But it was just for a moment. Song Qianqian quickly hid this strangeness.
She put on that smiling and flattering expression again.
"Grandma, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. How about going out for a walk and having a chat?"
The old lady nodded, and her expression didn't change.
"Do you want to tell me something about Youting?"
After the two of them had walked for a while and exchanged some polite words, the old lady suddenly got straight to the point.
Song Qianqian flattered with a smile.
"Ah, Grandma is really amazing. You're right on the mark."
The old lady's expression still didn't change.
It seemed that maybe Zhao Youting's usual coldness was learned from his grandma.
Not caring about the slight awkwardness, Song Qianqian continued to "complain".
"Grandma, recently, there's a woman around Brother Youting. She's been pestering him all day long, and Brother Youting hardly pays any attention to me anymore. I'm clearly his fiancée..."
The old lady still showed no change in expression, as if she didn't really care.
Song Qianqian continued.
"Even more importantly, Brother Youting is so infatuated with her that he's neglecting the company."
The old lady frowned slightly, as if a bit displeased.
"That woman already has two kids whose fathers are unknown, but she still pesters Brother Youting. She's really shameless. Her ambiguous relationship with Brother Youting is ruining his reputation."
After being processed like this, her words sounded extremely distorted.
So distorted that the old lady, rarely, showed anger in her tone.
"Go and tell Youting to come back and see me."
