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

Chapter 643 Qiu Yingying's Suffering

This left Qiu Yingying, who was standing nearby, completely dumbfounded. ¤ (¯´☆✭.¸_)¤ ➅9şℍย𝓧.ςσΜ ¤(_¸.✭☆´¯) ¤

She never expected to see the proud Andy so humble.

That's really impressive!

Andy no longer has the pride he had when he first walked in.

Their stance has clearly become much more humble.

Li Haoyu naturally saw no need to continue his hardline stance.

"Great! There are lots of good restaurants near our company."

He became much gentler at this point, no longer as aggressive as he had been when negotiating with Andy.

Andy immediately suggested, "Then I'll drive this time."

Li Haoyu readily agreed.

"It's a rare opportunity to have a beautiful CFO like this as my driver; I must seize this honor."

Li Haoyu picked up his suit jacket and was about to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Qiu Yingying a word of advice.

"Hurry up and tidy up the office, then come with me to freeload a meal."

Qiu Yingying finally snapped out of her shock.

She couldn't help but nod.

This time, Andy wasn't driving that eye-catching red Porsche 911.

Qiu Yingying couldn't help but ask, "Andy, your car was so nice before, why didn't you keep driving it?"

Andy calmly replied, "I didn't really like the car I had before, it was too flashy, so I asked my boss to get me a more understated one."

Qiu Yingying nodded. "Indeed, this black car looks much more unassuming."

Li Haoyu stood to the side, utterly speechless.

Qiu Yingying clearly doesn't know anything about cars.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said something so outrageous.

She switched from a red 911 to a black Porsche Panara.

They were indeed a little too low-key.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but complain.

"You should talk less in the future, or better yet, don't talk at all. Otherwise, if someone overhears what you're saying, it'll be really funny."

Qiu Yingying: ? ? ?

Li Haoyu looked at Qiu Yingying's confused expression and said, "It's understandable that you don't understand. Think carefully about why I said that."

He was too lazy to explain any further.

Li Haoyu sat directly in the passenger seat.

"Since you're just sitting in the back and doing nothing, think about why I said that to you. Give me an answer before you get off the bus. If you can't figure it out, go home and keep thinking about it."

Andy glanced at the two of them.

But she couldn't say anything, so she could only continue driving.

Qiu Yingying couldn't hide anything at all; all her emotions were written all over her face.

Her lips twitched slightly.

Qiu Yingying was clearly at a loss for what to do about this sudden problem.

It's true what they say, "You're sitting in a car when something unexpected happens."

Qiu Yingying opened her laptop with a helpless expression.

She silently began searching from behind.

.........

Andy, meanwhile, focused intently on driving. ✌🎁 ❻9Ŝ卄𝓾᙭.cØм 👍💲

However, not long after.

Andy was starting to get restless.

She asked casually, "Actually, given Snail Games' achievements and scale, it has long met the objective conditions for going public."

"Both our company and other investment banks have contacted you multiple times, but you refused them quite resolutely. Why did you suddenly change your mind this time?"

This is also one of Andy's old problems.

She wanted to understand everything clearly, no matter what it was.

Li Haoyu looked at Andy and said with a smile.

"Do you really want to know?"

Andy nodded without hesitation.

"Yes."

Because in her view, this was indeed somewhat unusual.

"Actually, there's no complicated reason. If I had to give one, it's probably because you were lucky."

Li Haoyu said nonchalantly.

Andy fell completely silent.

In any case, according to Andy's values.

She thought it was very unreliable for Li Haoyu to say such things.

As the company's top leader, how could he make such a nonsensical decision regarding such a major corporate matter?

This is too childish!

It was probably just Li Haoyu making excuses.

But she never imagined that Li Haoyu was truly serious. After all, whether Snail Games went public or not didn't mean much to him.

Li Haoyu's wealth is already more than enough. Even if his wealth were to increase several times over, it wouldn't fundamentally change anything for him.

After all, simply increasing his assets would hardly earn him any more simulation points. So, it would be better to use the snail's IPO to advance her relationship with Andy.

This makes it even more valuable.

However, Li Haoyu was a little disappointed.

Andy didn't ask any further questions, which basically rendered his prepared remarks useless.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but glance at Andy.

For the first time, I felt like I had miscalculated.

Andy's thought process is indeed quite different from that of ordinary girls.

She was too calm and rational.

This truly left Li Haoyu feeling helpless.

"Actually, I've heard about your reputation in the industry for a long time. You know, there are already few women in the financial world, and those who are fighting on the front lines like you are even rarer."

"At first I didn't plan to meet you, but after my secretary told me that you had persisted in making cold calls many times, I decided to meet you. I didn't expect that you would be my neighbor."

Li Haoyu said with a smile.

Andy: "You flatter me. At least my performance today doesn't deserve your praise."

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "I'll be able to see you sweating profusely tomorrow morning. That's not something easy to stick to."

"It's just a lifestyle habit, nothing special. I feel strange if I don't run for a day. It's just to maintain good physical fitness."

"Many things seem simple, but how many people can actually do them? Many people are too lazy to even go downstairs, which is why they're so fat. ♙♜ ❻9丂ʰ𝔲𝓧.𝓒Ⓞ𝐦 🐙👽"

When Li Haoyu said this.

He glanced at Qiu Yingying out of the corner of his eye.

Qiu Yingying also noticed Li Haoyu, and she subconsciously pinched her cheek.

This is implying that she's fat.

Qiu Yingying couldn't stand it.

Am I considered fat?

Do you even know what baby fat is?!

She could only sulk in silence.

Andy said with a surprised look, "This isn't a very common thing, is it? Most people can do it, right?"

"That's not necessarily true."

Coupled with Qiu Yingying's defiant expression.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh.

The main point is that this contrasts sharply with Andy's casual expression.

Andy truly lives up to her name; she's a real straight-talking woman.

She didn't even realize that she was talking about Qiu Yingying.

This makes sense, though, as Andy disdains trying to please others. While others solve problems with emotional intelligence, she prefers to solve them with intellectual intelligence.

You can tell from the way she interacts with other people.

Andy doesn't really care about other people's feelings. She only knows how to solve things normally and proposes the best solution in her understanding.

Li Haoyu decided to give Qiu Yingying some face.

So he changed the subject: "What books have you been reading lately? Do you have any good recommendations?"

Andy hadn't said anything yet.

Qiu Yingying, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, couldn't hold back any longer.

"I can recommend it too. I was in a bad mood yesterday. After watching it, I felt like I was reborn."

Andy asked directly, "I've never heard of this book before. What's the story about?"

Qiu Yingying saw Andy respond.

She placed her laptop next to her seat, gripped the backrest of the seat with both hands, and said excitedly.

"A truly inspiring story. The female protagonist left her hometown two years ago to pursue her dreams in Beijing, and eventually became a renowned boss."

"This is an inspirational book that my dad recommended to me."

Andy listened to Qiu Yingying's introduction.

She couldn't help but frown. "I don't think this is a good book. Reading too much of this kind of book is more harmful than helpful. ^_^"

This made Qiu Yingying unhappy.

Although Qiu Yingying herself knew that the book was indeed rather superficial.

What Andy said might not be a big problem.

But Andy's arrogant attitude really made her uncomfortable.

Seeing Qiu Yingying like this actually touched Li Haoyu.

After all, he had also experienced the same period of confusion as Qiu Yingying.

Therefore, Ta can understand why Qiu Yingying would watch this kind of self-help book.

Just like how good-looking people don't need to be looked at.

Those who have money don't need to see this.

Tall people don't need to look;

Andy was able to speak so arrogantly because she already possessed so much.

Li Haoyu chimed in, "I'd love to know sometime! Just hearing the name makes me want to check it out. I'm curious to see how a young woman can shine."

"But Qiu Yingying, you can read books all you want, but don't forget that your job is still my secretary."

"I remember passing by a real estate agency one morning. Every morning, they would shout 'I'm the best!' ten times. But they only lasted two days before an old lady upstairs threw water at them."

You'd better be careful.

Qiu Yingying was initially touched when she heard Li Haoyu's earlier agreement.

But her expression changed drastically when she heard the rest.

Qiu Yingying: ...

……

The restaurant wasn't far away to begin with.

This is a very distinctive Tujia cuisine restaurant.

Fish soup with flatbread is especially delicious.

Qiu Yingying, on the other hand, enjoyed her meal very much.

Andy barely spoke; when she did, it was all business. She almost never smiled and showed no reaction to the funny stories Li Haoyu told.

She even left her seat to make a rather long phone call.

He doesn't say a word while eating.

To be honest, Li Haoyu really felt like he was in prison.

…………

After dinner, Andy offered to take them home.

Li Haoyu refused outright; he had no interest in going to jail any longer. It would be easier to stay with Qiu Yingying.

"Mr. Li, see you next time we submit a report."

"Okay, I look forward to your proposal."

The two exchanged a glance as they watched Andy leave.

They smiled at each other and realized they felt pretty much the same.

Li Haoyu and Qiu Yingying both ate quite a lot.

Qiu Yingying suggested that they take a walk first and then take a taxi back.

Li Haoyu readily agreed.

Qiu Yingying looked at Li Haoyu walking ahead.

A smile had already appeared on her lips.

Especially considering how Li Haoyu treated her this morning, Qiu Yingying was surprisingly happy to see him suffer the same fate as her.

Others' suffering is my own happiness.

Thank God!

It’s really great!

Evil people will be punished by other evil people!

Qiu Yingying feels happy whenever she thinks about it.

On the other hand, she also secretly admired Andy's carefree life, which was something she longed for.

Unfortunately, she had no money.

Qiu Yingying was secretly pleased, but what she said aloud was completely different. After all, this was the person who paid her salary, and she couldn't afford to offend him right now.

"Mr. Li, don't be discouraged. Actually, your performance at the dinner table was quite good. I was quite happy to hear it."

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at Qiu Yingying.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're probably secretly very happy."

Qiu Yingying pretended to be innocent.

Li Haoyu said confidently, "I'm sure Andy will be incredibly enthusiastic when we meet next time, or you'll double my salary."

Qiu Yingying: ...

"I really don't believe that. You might be able to handle other people, but Andy is no ordinary person."

Qiu Yingying immediately retorted.

"Don't you believe me? I was just having fun, I didn't exert any force."

"Want to make a bet?"

"Sure, I'll take any bet, no matter the stakes. But double my salary isn't enough, how about two drinks?"

The braggart!

To be honest, it was quite difficult for Andy, but this only fueled his competitive spirit.

Besides, what's Qiu Yingying's salary anyway?

But if he wins, he won't let Qiu Yingying off easily. Anyway, Qiu Yingying will only earn a small salary, but he'll never lose money.

"Today's matter is official business, so remember to keep it a secret. If you can't control your big mouth, don't blame me for getting fired in a flash."

Qiu Yingying heard Li Haoyu's warning.

She immediately put on a serious face.

"Okay, I will keep it a secret."

"Let's take a taxi home then."

.........

After Li Haoyu took Qiu Yingying home.

He went straight to Qu Xiaoxiao's house.

When Qu Xiaoxiao saw Li Haoyu return, she put down her face mask and said, "How did it go? Killed two birds with one stone?"

"It's not that exaggerated. I just had a meal with Andy and gave her some inside information."

"Are you really that honest?"

Qu Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised.

He exclaimed, "You're actually being soft-hearted? That's not like you at all."
