Chapter 247 Getting into Trouble
It is difficult for Xu Qing'an to express his feelings towards Shu Yi clearly, as he is not good at speaking. All in all, it is quite complicated.

It's fair to say that there is lingering affection, a little bit, after all, they have been together for such a long time, married and have children, it's not possible that one mistake would wipe out all the feelings. But if I really want to say how much, Xu Qing'an thinks it can only be called "love".

To be more precise, the relationship between him and Shu Yi is more like...

The two good friends started a company together, which ran smoothly for several years. Then one day, Xu Qing'an discovered that Shu Yi had secretly withdrawn all her money and invested in another company.

And the other company isn't much better than his!
This wasn't just a betrayal or anything else, it was an insult to his entire personality and a lack of trust in him! He had no idea where he had lost!

Even if the company next door is simply better developed than his, has better prospects and stronger capabilities than his, or even if the company's decoration is better than his? In any case, if it is really better, Xu Qing'an will not be so disgusted and irritated.

The problem is that it doesn’t.

He had investigated Zhao Mingtao's situation before going on the show and already knew what this person's background was.

The information of both parents was too well protected to be found, but it was known that Zhao Mingtao was related to Liu Shuangcheng, the chairman of Wushuang Films, and Zhao Mingtao himself was a senior executive of Wushuang, the general manager of the marketing department. It was true that he was young and promising, but if he said that he could sit in this position today entirely by himself, who would believe it?
Everyone is just relying on family connections to make a living. None of them have taken over their jobs yet. They are all under pressure from their elders and work in their own companies. Xu Qing'an even had someone check and found that among the former Wushuang marketing staff who have left, Zhao Mingtao has an extremely bad reputation. Although it involves non-compete agreements and confidentiality, those people are not easy to say the specific events, but it is clear that he is not a good person.

Oh, and I heard that Zhao Mingtao's private life is also very messy. I don't know exactly how messy it is, but everyone who has been able to investigate says that it is messy, and it can be said that it is well-known.

To sum up, with such a scumbag, Xu Qing'an really couldn't figure out what Shu Yi saw in him!
The more Xu Qing'an thought about it, the angrier he got, and the angrier he got, the more he thought about it.

He walked in front with smoke coming out of his head, and Han Fei followed half a step behind. The two of them said they wanted to go to the toilet openly. The director knew what they were going to do but dared not to stop them.

After leaving the sight of the group of people at the table, Xu Qingan turned around and looked at Han Fei.

Han Fei realized at this moment that even though nothing had happened yet, this guy had already made himself red with anger. His face was even redder than when he drank alcohol. In any case, it was impossible for a few glasses of champagne to cause this effect.

"Calm down."

Han Fei stopped on the spiral staircase leading from the second floor to the first floor and patted Xu Qingan on the shoulder from behind:

"If you're still in this state, I won't dare take you to see what they have to say. You're so emotionally unstable and you've been drinking. Looking at Zhao Mingtao's physique, he won't be as weak as Lu Siyuan in a fight. When the time comes to fight, I don't have the ability to control two adult strong men. I can't conjure up any electric shock device."

Xu Qingan held it in for a long time, forcing his face to turn even redder, and said:

"I'm not going to fight him. I just can't figure it out."

Han Fei was puzzled:

"Can't figure out what?"

Xu Qing'an really had no choice. He was a tall and big man, but he seemed about to cry with anger.

He turned his head to look at the sea and said in a muffled voice:
"I can't understand why Shu Yi would fall for him and make things like this."

"If she had told me the truth when she did something wrong, I would have just gotten angry at the time, and I would not have made a fuss about it online, let alone ended up on a TV show or something like that."

"After coming to the recording session, she either avoided me or kept silent even when we were together. I can understand that, because she felt embarrassed after the incident, but why doesn't she feel embarrassed to take Zhao Mingtao out to talk about things alone now?"

"I really don't understand a thing!"

"It's not that I still have any memories of her. Believe me, Han Fei, I really don't. I'm not the kind of person who talks too much. If the Civil Affairs Bureau hadn't been closed, I would have gotten the divorce certificate from her before the show. I'm just upset. Can you understand? I'm totally upset!"

Han Fei thought for a long time, nodded, and said in confusion:
"I understand that you're feeling frustrated, but I have a question that I've been thinking about for a long time. I wonder if it's convenient for me to ask."

Xu Qingan buried his head and waved his hand:

"Just ask. What's the relationship between us? There's nothing wrong with asking."

Han Fei asked sincerely:
"I heard that your hometown is in the Central Plains and you grew up in Shanghai. Why do you speak with such a strong accent now? Shu Yi seems to be from the South, too. Is there anyone from the North in your family?"

Xu Qing'an slowly raised his head and stared at Han Fei, his eyes filled with three parts of confusion, three parts of bewilderment, and four parts of suspicion that this man was sick.

He was silent for half a minute, as if he had lost all his strength and means, and sighed:

"I used to speak standard Mandarin, but in the past two years, I have been running around at the grassroots level, and I am surrounded by people with accents from all over the country. The migrant workers are a complex group, and people from all over the world come here. I can only choose one of the three evil accents: Trump, Northeastern accent, or plastic Mandarin, and be infected. Now it seems that the Northeastern accent has won."

"Does your question have anything to do with my current troubles?"

Han Fei shook his head honestly and said:

"It doesn't matter, I'm just curious."

"But after chatting and talking nonsense, are you not as annoying as before?"

Xu Qingan laughed weakly twice:

"Haha, yeah, I'm only bothering you, so I don't have time to bother them."

Achieve the goal!

Han Fei smiled and took two steps forward, dragging Xu Qing'an down the stairs, saying as he walked:

"It's not that I'm unreliable. It's just that you were so angry and frustrated before. No matter what you hear later, it's easy to get angry. Fighting with Zhao Mingtao in front of Shu Yi, this is probably not the result you want, right?"

"If you two start fighting, Shuyi won't be anxious, much less panic or afraid. Even if she is, it's just pretend. She'll most likely be secretly delighted, secretly delighted that two men are fighting for her. This is the best proof of her charm."

"So, no matter what you hear later, you must remember that decency is the most important thing, understand?"

"You've been infected by the Northeastern dialect, so you must know that no matter what happens over there, they have to fight for their dignity! You must stand up today. Even if you are angry, it can't be because of Shu Yi and Zhao Mingtao's relationship, otherwise you lose!"

Xu Qing'an was stunned for a long time, and finally realized why Han Fei suddenly interrupted him by saying something nonsense.

No matter what, Han Fei's point is just one: don't show your weakness, don't get carried away, and don't lose control, otherwise you will regret your actions today after things are over.

He was a little moved. The alcohol had already taken its toll on him, and now he directly grasped Han Fei's hand with tears in his eyes, wishing he could cry again:

"Good brother, I understand what you mean! If you have any problem in the future, just tell me. You are my true brother!"…………

deck.

Most people on the first floor of the yacht have left. Even if there are still a few staff members cleaning up, they are basically only inside the cabin. Others go to the kitchen and restaurant to eat, and after eating they will take turns cleaning.

Shu Yi walked silently with Zhao Mingtao straight to the side of the deck. Until her entire back was leaning against the railing of the side, she raised her head and looked directly at Zhao Mingtao in front of her.

They arrived at the place, but she still didn't say anything. Zhao Mingtao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

He moved his neck and turned it a few times, his bones crackling, before he awkwardly broke the silence.

"You asked me to come down, what do you want to say?"

"Let's finish our talk as soon as possible. Lu Siyuan had a private chat with the ship's doctor here today, but it didn't work at all. There were a group of people eavesdropping in the back. Now everyone else is eating upstairs, so it's not so bad, but we can't say when they'll finish eating and come down. If we bump into them... that wouldn't be good."

Hearing him mention Lu Siyuan, Shu Yi suddenly smiled silently.

It is a smile mixed with sarcasm, disdain and helplessness.

She calmed down her emotions and tried to keep her tone steady as she spoke:

"Zhao Mingtao, how dare you mention Lu Siyuan to me?"

"When you went to the medical room for the so-called visit, you actually knew that they suspected that Lu Siyuan had been infected with the M drug, right? But you had no intention of telling me at the time, and you just hemmed and hawed to get by."

"Don't tell me the doctor hasn't made a diagnosis or issued a report yet. Even now, the ship hasn't docked and the blood samples haven't been put on the plane to be sent back to Changshan for examination, but you still don't dare to sit with Lu Siyuan. This is enough to explain the problem."

"I just want to ask, why are you the one who is nervous when Lu Siyuan seems to be sick? Everyone is worried about being infected, but you are particularly worried. It doesn't seem like you are worried about being infected by eating and living with him."

"What are you hiding from me?"

Shu Yi originally didn't want to make this matter clear right now.

Just as she said just now, the test results have not come out yet and nothing has been concluded. If she makes trouble now, it will only reduce her bargaining chips.

But after seeing the performance of other guests at the dinner table, especially the way everyone was avoiding Lu Siyuan as if he were the plague, her anxiety about contracting the disease invisibly increased.

No matter how sumptuous the meal was, Shu Yi still had no appetite and the food tasted like wax. She had to force herself to eat so that she could hold on until now.

She couldn't stand the suffocating feeling of oppression, so even if the chips were reduced, she had to ask for clarification in advance.

Zhao Mingtao scratched the newly grown stubble on his chin and was silent for a long time before looking at her helplessly:

"This matter is a bit complicated, and it's a long story..."

Shu Yi remained calm and stared at Zhao Mingtao without blinking:
"Then let's make a long story short."

Her attitude was firm and tough, leaving no room for maneuver.

Although Zhao Mingtao didn't take her, a small-time entertainment industry figure, seriously, the fact was that everyone was on the same show now. If Shu Yi was dissatisfied with something and said what she "thought" in front of the live camera, then everything would be fucked.

Therefore, Zhao Mingtao could only speak slowly and carefully.

"Since you insist on me telling you..."

"Okay, let me roughly tell you what my concerns are."

"First of all, I want to tell you that Lu Siyuan and I have attended many parties over the years, both in China and abroad. The domestic parties are not so open, but overseas, especially on some small islands, the things played may be things you have never heard of."

"I won't describe the specific situation. Anyway, since I played with him in this kind of place before, if he had the disease, and it was simply transmitted to me and then to you, it would not be a big deal. After all, the M virus is not an incurable disease. The treatment process is a bit troublesome, but it can be cured in the end."

"If it is true that only the two of us are infected, I can solemnly confirm with you now that I will be responsible for your treatment, I can compensate for your losses during the period, and I can even do my best to provide you with resources."

"But if there are others besides us... then this will be a big problem."

After a pause, he added:
"If conditions permit, I don't want Lu Siyuan to do the diagnosis, blood draw or anything else. But since the doubts have been put in front of the camera, I have to push him to do the examination. As for the results of the examination report, you don't need to see it. Regardless of whether he is sick or not, the report will definitely be negative."

"Because he couldn't be in front of the camera and let everyone know that he was sick."

"So, we will deal with all the problems privately after the recording is finished. You will have to do another examination after you go back. The results of this examination are completely unreliable. Do you understand me?"

At first, Shu Yi felt a little angry and disgusted.

She wanted to use the most vicious words she had ever seen on the Internet to curse Zhao Mingtao.

But the more she listened, the creepier she felt.

Myself, what kind of big event and circle of big shots is this involving?

Zhao Mingtao didn't even care about his own illness. As long as it wasn't AIDS or something, he seemed to think it was nothing. The only thing he cared about was that Lu Siyuan's medical report had to be clean.

Using her toes to think, Shu Yi also guessed some of the problems.

She took a dozen deep breaths to calm herself down, suppressed her surging doubts, and stopped indulging her damn curiosity.

After a moment, Shu Yi said softly:
"Let's not talk about this for now."

"I came to see you today because I have another question to ask you—"

"Zhao Mingtao, what is Ren Tuo's status in Wushuang Film and Television, or in your opinion?"

"If he says he wants to give me some resource and asks me to come to you, will you give it to me after you confirm its authenticity?"
