Chapter 408 Hi, baby~
Although they looked quite alike, the hesitant tone and the averted gaze made Shen Zhaoyi recognize the person in front of her.

"Lu Jin?"

This time, their eyes finally met.

Being socially awkward, he never expected that this strange woman in front of him could accurately call out his name.

Just as I was wondering how to start the conversation, Mumu stepped in to save the day.

"Brother Jin, this is Shen Zhaoyi, our studio's investor."

"A woman in her sixties?!"

Lu Jin had heard his younger brother say that this older sister was beautiful, but he never believed it.

After all, who could possibly connect that ID with the person in front of them?
He forced a smile to greet her, then quickly looked at Mumu and told her to go to the front to gather, as they needed to record the final dance performance soon.

Shen Zhaoyi noticed the slight tremor in Lu Jin's voice and gained a new understanding of the level of social anxiety.

Since it was an industry she was involved in, she stayed by her side through the later stages.

When Lu Ran mentioned that the completed video would be posted on various websites, Shen Zhaoyi suddenly remembered that her account with millions of followers was still idle.

"Tag me when the time comes, it's free publicity, might as well take advantage of it."

"Okay~"

After staying in the studio until noon, Shen Zhaoyi was about to go back. Just as she was about to ask Mu Mu if he wanted to come along, she heard him say, "Sister, I still have to work with them on a new dance this afternoon, so I can only see you to the door."

"So hard-working?"

"Well, it's mainly because we're still in the early stages. We only have this many people, so we can only make up for it by putting in more effort."

Shen Zhaoyi nodded and told him not to overwork himself. When getting into the car, she mentioned the exam.

We can't let our current job make us forget our original ideals.

"Don't worry, sister, I remember everything. I registered a long time ago." Mu Mu saw the person onto the car and waved goodbye reluctantly from the side.

Although he really wanted to go with her, he knew that being too clingy would only cause annoyance, and that maintaining a proper distance was the key to a lasting relationship.

When Shen Zhaoyi returned home, she was wondering how long it would take before she received news from the remaining people.

Just as she had expected, Mu Mu had already mentioned it in the group chat after they separated.

Qiu Yu's first thought was to buy a ticket and come over to explain things in person, but she was afraid that her mouth might cause trouble, so she simply asked Fang Zheng to come up with some ideas together.

"Boss, you still believe in me?"

"Of course! Otherwise, why would I have called you here?"

The head secretary was a little touched, considering that none of the suggestions he had given before had come in handy.

This time, I'm determined to maintain our relationship no matter what.

After all, the atmosphere in the company was low for a long time after Qiuyu came back last month.

“Here’s what we’ll do: you send a greeting first, and we’ll communicate via text. That way, we can correct any awkward phrasing.” Fang Zheng pulled out a few emojis from his collection. “Use these along with the text, and we’ll definitely be able to start chatting smoothly.”

"Then, shall we give it a try?" Qiu Yu began to organize her thoughts with some skepticism.

When Shen Zhaoyi clicked on it, this is what she saw—

【Hi, baby~.jpg】

Are you adjusting well back in China? Have you adjusted to the time difference?

The tilde, so full of life, made Shen Zhaoyi look up and take another look at the contact's notes.

It's definitely Qiuyu.

If Qiu Ze hadn't already started school, she would have suspected it was her younger brother's prank.

Recalling the conversation from last month, Shen Zhaoyi replied with a string of ellipses.

When they saw six dots, Qiu Yu and Fang Zheng exchanged a glance and both froze. How should they handle this situation?
But as the saying goes, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Even though Shen Zhaoyi didn't express much emotion, Qiu Yu still kept picking topics to talk about, and finally, they circled back to the original conflict.

And the words "I'm sorry" are much easier to spell than to say.

The belated apology finally came, though it wasn't very formal, but both sides still compromised.

With the misunderstanding resolved, Qiu Yu clearly learned his lesson. He carefully considered every word before sending it, and he began to ask Shen Zhaoyi about her future plans.

[Should I continue traveling, or stay home and not go anywhere?]

If you're going out, could you give us some news this time? We're all very worried about you.

Now, Qiu Yu has gradually accepted the other five people.

After all, they've been sticking together for warmth and support these days.

Shen Zhaoyi said of course, and then mentioned her travel plans for the second half of the year, during which she would travel around the country.

If you're comfortable there, you can even find two houses locally as a place to stay when you come back in the future. After all, no one will complain about having too much real estate.

Qiu Yu breathed a sigh of relief after learning of her plans.

It's great that it's in China. Not only is it safe, but it's also close by. If anything happens, I can take off and get there on the same day.

Just as the two began discussing where would be the best place to go this season, the doorbell rang. Xu Meng glanced at it and hesitated.

"Zhaoyi, is this Dr. Cheng? Should we let him in?"

"Let him go, he's not an outsider."

Although Shen Zhaoyi said that, she acted very coldly when she saw Cheng Yubai.

Don't think she doesn't know that the reason the house was so lively last month was because he was behind it all.

This kind of silent competition is far more dangerous than open jealousy, and you can easily become a scapegoat if you're not careful.

Seeing that Shen Zhaoyi had no intention of acknowledging him, Cheng Yubai adjusted his glasses and calmed himself before walking over and sitting down next to her.

"Arrived yesterday?"

“Mumu told me that you look much thinner, and he was a little worried about your health, so he specifically asked me to come and take a look.”

In short, Cheng Yubai found a perfect explanation for his uninvited appearance, while also gaining attention for Mu Mu. This is precisely Cheng Yubai's skill.

Shen Zhaoyi sat there upright, her tone unfriendly: "What, are you really planning to become my family doctor?"

"Why not?"

Cheng Yubai pulled out an ID card from somewhere, with his headshot on it and the rest of the information handwritten.

The handwriting reflects the person; it's very beautiful.

The words "Position: Family Doctor" made Shen Zhaoyi completely lose her composure.

"You expected me to say that?"

"No, not at all." Cheng Yubai seemed very sincere this time. "I just wanted to come here to find another job, but I didn't expect that my idea would align with yours."

"What's wrong? Did Director Zhao withhold your salary?" Shen Zhaoyi scrutinized his expression, trying to discern something.

"Can't I just want to earn some extra money? After all, my girlfriend likes to travel, and I need to prepare enough funds for her."

Cheng Yubai played the question-and-answer game with great ease.

Shen Zhaoyi, however, didn't fall for it. She threw the self-made ID back and regretfully informed them, "I'm not hiring."

I thought this would shut the other person up.

Unexpectedly, this resulted in Cheng Yubai taking things a step further.

"Are you really not going to consider it? I can work for free."
