Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

As Andy and his friends descended the stairwell emergency exit. (New 69 Bookstore →)

When we walked out together.

They weren't exactly like one person.

But their relationship has clearly grown much closer.

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said to Qiu Yingying, "You were throwing up so badly just now, do you still have an appetite for chocolate?"

Qiu Yingying nodded without hesitation.

"Why don't I have an appetite? Now that I've emptied my stomach, I actually crave dessert."

"Then go to my house now and get the chocolate. It doesn't taste good if it's left out for too long."

Qiu Yingying immediately cheered up.

She spoke to Fan Shengmei and Guan Juer beside her.

"Then you guys go home first, I'll go to Brother Li's house to get the chocolate back."

After saying that, she happily followed behind Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu had just opened the door to his home.

Qiu Yingying couldn't wait to squeeze in.

"You really want to eat chocolate that badly?"

Li Haoyu asked curiously

Qiu Yingying looked around.

"Chocolate is just one aspect; I'm more interested in seeing what the domineering CEO's house is like. But it doesn't seem like such a big deal now."

"This place is just a place to rest, it doesn't need to be fancy, just enough is fine. But I will definitely put my heart into making the house for my girlfriend and me in the future."

Li Haoyu took a glass of water from the dining table.

"You just threw up, so drink some hot water first. I put the chocolate in the fridge, you can get it now."

"Okay, thank you."

Qiu Yingying nodded gratefully.

"What about your girlfriend? Doesn't she live with you?"

Li Haoyu placed the remaining chocolate gift box in front of Qiu Yingying.

"I don't have a girlfriend, otherwise would I be living in such a shabby place right now?"

Qiu Yingying was drinking water.

She couldn't hold back when she heard Li Haoyu say that.

She choked on the water and started coughing.

"You rich people really know how to talk. You call this shabby? What would it be like if the three of us—Fan Jie, Guan Guan, and I—share a place? You're even more outrageous than Qu Xiaoxiao."

Li Haoyu smiled upon hearing this.

"I really didn't mean it. Why are you so concerned about my love life?"

"Could it be that you've taken a liking to me?"

Qiu Yingying couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I'm not good enough for you, and besides, I already have Manager Bai. But I can introduce you to Sister Fan and Guan Guan, since neither of them has a boyfriend."

"To be honest, which one do you prefer?"

Li Haoyu responded with an "oh".

"Why can't you introduce both to me?"

Qiu Yingying stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. 😲🏆 ☝🐨

"What are you dreaming about? They're all so beautiful, it's already a favor that I introduced you to one, why do you want both of them?"

"So what if there are two? You five didn't intend to let any of them go."

However, such words should definitely not be said aloud.

Li Haoyu said, "Just kidding, but if you can really introduce me to a girlfriend, forget chocolates, you have to arrange a real luxury meal and a generous matchmaker's red envelope."

Qiu Yingying then nodded.

"I always said you weren't like a playboy."

Actually, in terms of personality alone, Guan Guan has a better temper. However, Sister Fan is more mature and wants to get married as soon as possible. She's always wanted to find a wealthy boyfriend like you.

It's clear that this matter is still in its early stages.

Qiu Yingying had already started analyzing who was more suitable for Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu's comments on this.

It can only be described as outrageous, not just outrageous.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but retort, "You seem to care a lot about other people's feelings. Is your relationship with Manager Bai going smoothly?"

Qiu Yingying blushed immediately.

"Not yet, but I think he really likes me. I feel like we'll soon be in a formal romantic relationship."

"What makes you say that?"

Qiu Yingying stammered.

"He would take the subway to work with me."

Li Haoyu almost burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with taking the subway. But I'd like to ask you, has he ever called a taxi for you? For example, when the weather was bad, or when you were in a bad mood?"

"this……"

Qiu Yingying tried hard to recall.

It seems that, just as Li Haoyu said, it hasn't happened even once.

But she still wanted to defend Manager Bai.

"But I think as long as you truly love each other, it doesn't seem to be a big problem."

Li Haoyu waved his hand, "Your current performance is already the best answer. As for the reason of love, you can only fool yourself."

Qiu Yingying was furious.

"What gives you the right to say that about me? Don't think that just because you've given me a little favor, you can arbitrarily criticize others like this."

"I'm not blaming him, I'm just stating a fact you're unwilling to reveal. Poverty isn't the worst thing; being stingy with you is the worst thing."

Li Haoyu looked at her quietly.

"A man who truly loves you will always care about you. He will think about how to make you more comfortable, but the manager you say loves you doesn't seem to have that thought at all."

"If a man is unwilling to spend money on you while pursuing you, don't expect him to do much for you after marriage."

"Spending money isn't the only measure of love, but if someone isn't even willing to spend a little money on you, don't tell me how much they love you. It's a joke."

Qiu Yingying was trembling with anger.

She couldn't understand how the man who had seemed so reliable and composed in the elevator just moments before could now act like a completely different person.

Li Haoyu, however, completely ignored her current reaction.

After all, Qiu Yingying hasn't fallen too deeply into it yet.

Even before their romantic relationship is established, Qiu Yingying's innocence can still be preserved. If he were to actually let Qiu Yingying lose her virginity to that scumbag Bai, he would be even angrier than she is now.

In fact, Li Haoyu had met her a few times.

He usually had a good impression of Qiu Yingying; she was a warm, straightforward, and innocent girl.

After all, she is a straightforward and warm-hearted person.

Although Qiu Yingying is straightforward and speaks her mind without reservation, which sometimes leads to her saying things that are a bit rash, she is generally well-liked.

However, Qiu Yingying is a goddess with a love-obsessed mind; once she falls in love, she acts like an idiot.

Li Haoyu simply couldn't bring himself to patiently persuade him.

Because Qiu Yingying is incredibly annoying whenever she's in a relationship.

Li Haoyu wouldn't have had any reason to say anything if she just mentioned that she liked Manager Bai.

After all, what kind of relationship does she have with Qiu Yingying now?

However, the way she's acting right now is already quite unpleasant.

Qiu Yingying had only been in there a short time.

She kept repeating to herself how good Manager Bai was to her.

Most importantly, the examples of how good Qiu Yingying was to her were so compelling that even a scumbag like Li Haoyu couldn't stand them anymore.

That's such a perfunctory response; it's just that this scumbag is playing Qiu Yingying for a fool.

But she had no idea at all.

Qiu Yingying still looked like she had met her true love.

This gave Li Haoyu goosebumps.

He simply couldn't take it anymore.

Today, Li Haoyu plans to take drastic measures to save this silly girl who is deeply mired in the quagmire of love.

However, let Qiu Yingying bear this anger herself.

After all, this was a mess that Qiu Yingying herself created.

"You're talking nonsense. He's not that kind of person. Manager Bai is just a little frugal, but he's always cared about me."

Qiu Yingying is now like a hedgehog with its feathers standing on end.

Her eyes were blazing with fury.

Li Haoyu, however, said dismissively.

"If what I said made no sense at all, would you be so angry? Lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife."

"After I touched a nerve, you could no longer deceive your own heart. That's why you're so angry."

Qiu Yingying was still very angry.

"You're just spouting nonsense. You've never even met Manager Bai. What makes you think you can say that? Can you stand up for your words?"

Li Haoyu nodded.

"Of course I can stand by what I say. Besides, there are some basic things that I can know perfectly well even if I'm not there."

"hehe."

Qiu Yingying did not speak.

She just gave a cold laugh.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu knew that Qiu Yingying must be very dissatisfied.

"You work in finance at the company, and your supervisor, Manager Bai, is your boss. I'm not wrong about that, am I?"

Qiu Yingying was very disdainful at this moment.

"Didn't I tell all of this myself? You can't possibly convince me with just that."

Li Haoyu ignored her and tapped on the table.

"So your company must not allow office romances, right?"

Qiu Yingying hesitated for a moment.

"Does this have anything to do with whether he likes me or not?"

Li Haoyu stared at her. "Never mind all that, just answer me: does your company allow office romances?"

"So what if it's not allowed?"

Qiu Yingying answered Li Haoyu through gritted teeth.

Li Haoyu nodded. "Just as I thought. You've never mentioned this to me before. Guess how I found out? Did I visit your company too?"

"This...maybe Sister Fan and Guan Guan told you. Don't think I don't know you two have encountered this before."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yingying was trying to find an excuse for Bai the scumbag.

They do have some brains.

"That does make sense, but unfortunately it doesn't."

Qiu Yingying was about to retort upon hearing this.

But before she could speak, Li Haoyu interrupted her.

"Listen to my analysis, and you'll understand the basis of my judgment. In fact, it's not just your company; larger companies usually don't allow office romances."

"To convince you, I'll go to the trouble of explaining. The main reason why office romances aren't allowed is to prevent love-struck girls like you."

"The minimum amount of work per day should be based on your judgment."

Li Haoyu smiled.

"Let me put it simply: have you ever seen a company allow a married couple to work together in the finance department? Are you treating the company like your family's secret stash?"

Qiu Yingying was speechless.

But Li Haoyu did not stop.

"So your future is crystal clear: either you resign or the handsome guy you mentioned resigns."

"But would someone who wouldn't even pay for his girlfriend's taxi fare be willing to give up a job he'd worked so hard to get promoted for her?"

"He will. You're not him, how would you know what he'll choose?"

Li Haoyu saw that Qiu Yingying was still stubbornly refusing to admit it.

He shook his head. "How about this: you have Manager Bai go on dates these next few days. If I can find a girl for him to stand up for, would you be satisfied?"

Qiu Yingying shook her head desperately.

"Your trickery will never succeed."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me, are you willing to bet?"

Qiu Yingying choked for a moment.

"Why wouldn't I dare? I have faith in him."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

As soon as Qiu Yingying reached the door, Li Haoyu called her back.

"You forgot the chocolate gift box."

Qiu Yingying said without turning her head.

"Don't think I'll be bought off by such a small favor. You can keep this for yourself."

Li Haoyu didn't care.

Anyway, I can save this chocolate for my secretary.

At least for now.

His black-stockinged secretary is much cuter than Qiu Yingying.

Consider this an apology for making her cry before.

Qiu Yingying returned home.

She looked very angry.

Guan Juer was very curious about her appearance.

Guan Juer asked with some curiosity.

"Didn't you go get the chocolate? Why are you still so unhappy?"

Qiu Yingying said angrily.

He said that Manager Bai was unreliable and that even if we were to get back together, we wouldn't last long.

Upon hearing this, Guan Juer didn't know how to respond.

To be honest, even she wasn't very optimistic about Qiu Yingying and Manager Bai's relationship.

It's not that she has a prejudice against Manager Bai.

The main issue is that Manager Bai's behavior recently was indeed a bit outrageous. He was sending invitation text messages late at night, not giving the girls any time to think.

What's the difference between that and being a hooligan?

Although she ultimately couldn't stop Fan Shengmei from deleting the text message, Guan Juer still insisted on leaving a note for Qiu Yingying to decide for herself.

However, after so much time, she had heard Qiu Yingying complain about Manager Bai's actions every day. In fact, in her opinion, some of Manager Bai's behaviors were indeed quite inappropriate.

Guan Juer had also discussed this with Fan Shengmei in private.

Fan Shengmei was even more direct than Li Haoyu.

In her words, Manager Bai was just lusting after Qiu Yingying's body.

I had no intention of having a serious relationship with her.

Fan Shengmei also kept subtly reminding her.

Be reserved and consider things carefully.

They even worried that Qiu Yingying might be pregnant out of wedlock.

Fan Shengmei even made up a story to scare Qiu Yingying, hoping that Qiu Yingying would protect herself.

But Qiu Yingying ignored her words. She even felt that she couldn't be like her, wasting her life until she was thirty and still unmarried.

This infuriated Fan Shengmei.

For a whole week, Fan Shengmei barely spoke to Qiu Yingying.

Fan Shengmei overheard their conversation from behind.

She walked over and said.

"Since you're so confident, you shouldn't worry about losing."
