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

Li Haoyu saw Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer whispering to each other.

What are you two doing?

"Could it be that they're talking badly about me behind my back?"

The two of them immediately fell silent.

Qiu Yingying immediately forced a smile.

"Boss, what are you saying? How could I possibly say anything bad about you? We were just praising how handsome you are."

Guan Juer wasn't that flamboyant.

But she nodded in agreement.

Li Haoyu looked guilty when he saw the two of them acting like this.

He had only said it casually.

It seems I was right.

However, Li Haoyu didn't care. Let them say what they want now.

In time, both of them will have to apologize to themselves.

It doesn't matter if he's happy now; once he gets what he wants, he'll make Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer report each other, and whoever says less will be punished.

I wonder if they'll still be able to laugh so happily when they get their punishment?

Thinking of this, Li Haoyu's smile grew even brighter.

"Guan Guan, aren't you going to work yet? It's getting late."

Guan Juer only remembered this matter after hearing this.

She glanced at her watch, her expression tightening.

"It's getting late, so I'll head to work now. Thank you for bringing me to the company."

Li Haoyu called out to Guan Juer.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Come with me for some special training tonight. I told you about the cycling event, so I'll teach you some basics first."

Guan Juer heard Li Haoyu say this.

"How come it's so fast? I wasn't prepared at all."

Li Haoyu waved his hand and said.

"What's there to prepare? Those people are all very kind and friendly; you'll see when you meet them. Besides, as for training, with your intelligence, it won't be difficult at all."

Guan Juer hesitated for a moment.

She nodded in agreement.

Guan Juer never easily goes back on her word.

Besides, even if it's just for the 20,000 yuan red envelope that Li Haoyu sent.

She couldn't give up so easily.

"Okay, see you tonight. I'm not going to chat anymore now; I don't want to get caught by the boss for being late."

"Bye-Bye."

Li Haoyu and Qiu Yingying said goodbye to her together.

After saying that, Guan Juer slung her bag over her shoulder.

I jogged away.

Only then did Qiu Yingying speak.

"What's that cycling trip you were talking about with Guan Guan? It sounds really interesting. Can I join in too?"

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at Qiu Yingying.

He said with a serious expression.

"Qiu Yingying, aren't you getting a little too big for your britches? It's one thing to give you a ride to work, but now you want to interfere in your boss's private life."

"Your behavior is quite dangerous. Haven't you learned your lesson from that incident with that scumbag Bai? Do you want to experience being fired again before you're satisfied?"

Qiu Yingying panicked immediately.

This was the first time Li Haoyu had spoken to her so seriously. She could tell that Li Haoyu wasn't joking.

Qiu Yingying felt that if she dared to say another stubborn word now...

Li Haoyu would fire himself without hesitation.

Qiu Yingying immediately lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, this time it was definitely my fault."

Li Haoyu nodded in satisfaction.

He said casually, "Let's skip this one and go to the company first."

Qiu Yingying is like a child who has made a mistake.

She followed closely behind Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu led a dejected Qiu Yingying to the office.

He said to Qiu Yingying, "Go outside and bring a chair in. I want to check how well you've been learning lately."

Qiu Yingying said timidly, "Could we not go outside to bring out chairs? There's a sofa in the office, isn't there?"

"When I walked into the office with you just now, I felt that everyone was looking at me strangely. If I actually brought a chair into the office, it would be too embarrassing."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "So you realized it was embarrassing? I really didn't expect that."

"Can I not move the chair?"

Qiu Yingying stared wide-eyed at Li Haoyu with a pitiful look.

I must say, what she did was actually quite effective.

Li Haoyu was starting to soften his heart.

After all, Qiu Yingying had only been working there for a short time. If she really caused such a mess, she would be in a very difficult position.

"Then I'll give you one more chance, but this is a one-time exception."

Qiu Yingying immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She sat down on the office sofa with a sigh of relief.

Qiu Yingying sat up straight, looking like a completely different person. She placed the documents on the table in front of the sofa, then pulled out a towel from somewhere and wiped the table until it shone.

Place the daffodils on the table in the upper right corner.

It was clearly a meticulously arranged desk.

This amused Li Haoyu.

He didn't expect Qiu Yingying to be so particular about rituals.

Qiu Yingying also noticed Li Haoyu's gaze.

Her lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but look up: "If I did something wrong, I can change it."

"No need, I think it's fine. Since I arranged for you to sit there, you can do whatever you want with everything there."

Li Haoyu waved his hand casually.

He ignored Qiu Yingying and went to a routine meeting with the executives of Snail Games.

Qiu Yingying can't even take the most basic meeting minutes properly now, so having her in meetings is pointless.

So he kept Qiu Yingying behind to continue studying the company's materials.

.........

Two hours later.

When Li Haoyu returned to his office, he found that Qiu Yingying was gone.

This puzzled Li Haoyu greatly.

Could Qiu Yingying have dared to run away secretly?

Li Haoyu was genuinely angry now.

Being slow-witted isn't scary; you can just keep them around and train them slowly.

But what if someone is not only stupid but also cunning and deceitful?

Then there's truly no hope left.

Li Haoyu wanted to see how Qiu Yingying would explain herself when she returned.

If she doesn't give herself a reasonable explanation...

Then he really needs to teach her a lesson.

Li Haoyu sat on the sofa waiting for Qiu Yingying to come back.

Not long after, Qiu Yingying pushed open the door.

She still had a bright smile on her face.

However, she saw Li Haoyu sitting in her seat.

Her smile vanished instantly.

Qiu Yingying looked at Li Haoyu and said, "Is the meeting over so quickly? I was looking at the documents carefully the whole time. I just went to the restroom."

"I was worried you were tired, so I made you a cup of coffee to perk you up."

Li Haoyu stared at her with a hostile look in his eyes.

Qiu Yingying's reason was too perfunctory.

Li Haoyu saw Qiu Yingying with her usual playful and grinning expression.

"real?"

"Do I look like someone who's easy to fool?"

Qiu Yingying did it like magic.

She pulled a piece of cake out from behind her back.

"This cake isn't cheap; I went all out to make it so you can have it with your coffee."

"You know I even maxed out my credit card to pay the rent. This cake is something I saved up from every penny to buy for you."

Li Haoyu now doesn't know how to evaluate Qiu Yingying anymore.

Qiu Yingying must be able to see how dark her face is now.

But it's unclear whether she's genuinely thick-skinned or simply ignorant and fearless.

She acted as if she hadn't seen anything, simply holding the cake in her hand. It seemed she wouldn't lower her hand until he accepted the cake.

Li Haoyu stared at Qiu Yingying for a long time.

She remained motionless, and even raised her hand a little higher.

Li Haoyu couldn't persuade Qiu Yingying otherwise.

He picked up the spoon and symbolically scooped out a spoonful.

Are you satisfied now?

"A tea break was already scheduled for the meeting. I'm not hungry at all right now. This cake was bought with your hard-earned money; I really can't afford it."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Qiu Yingying lowered her hand.

She will return to her usual cheerful self.

"The cake I bought tasted pretty good, didn't it? You may not believe me about other things, but when it comes to food, I'm an absolute expert."

Li Haoyu looked at the smug Qiu Yingying.

He didn't know for a moment.

How should I evaluate this woman in front of me?

While Qiu Yingying is considered stupid, she also possesses a certain amount of cleverness.

To say Qiu Yingying is smart is an understatement; this method is adorably silly.

Anyone else wouldn't fall for her act. Given her style, she'd probably be kicked out in less than a day.

Is Qiu Yingying truly a wise woman feigning ignorance?

However, Li Haoyu quickly dismissed this absurd idea.

Because Qiu Yingying was already eating cake in front of him, her thought process was clearly not as complicated as Li Haoyu had imagined.

Qiu Yingying believes whatever others say.

She didn't even consider whether others were being sarcastic.

Li Haoyu remained silent for a while.

"You think you're wasting your talents by being my secretary? With your optimistic attitude, you'd definitely have a bright future in sales."

Qiu Yingying nodded as she ate her cake.

"Actually, I feel the same way. Reading materials is really painful. I've tried so hard to read them, but I forget the knowledge points I finally managed to remember in no time."

"How about you transfer me to another position? I might really shine in a sales role. My dad also says I'm a natural-born salesperson."

Li Haoyu waved his hand speechlessly.

He interrupted Qiu Yingying's self-recommendation.

If Qiu Yingying continues like this, she might really become overconfident and start having unrealistic fantasies.

"I won't eat the cake, but where's the coffee you made for me?"

"Is this just an excuse?"

Qiu Yingying hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand.

"How could that be? But I didn't know how late your meeting would end, so I couldn't prepare in advance. Coffee tastes best when it's freshly ground and brewed; otherwise, it's undrinkable when it gets cold."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"I didn't expect you to know these things. I really underestimated you."

Qiu Yingying said with a smug look on her face.

"I put in a lot of effort to learn how to make a good cup of coffee. I might be lacking in other areas, but I'm definitely a professional at making coffee."

Li Haoyu asked with great interest.

"Oh, then tell me, how did you develop your coffee-making skills? You're not just bragging, are you? You're just trying to fool me with instant coffee, aren't you?"

Qiu Yingying pouted.

"Don't underestimate me. I joined the coffee club in college. I honed my coffee-making skills during those four years."

"Are there really such strange clubs in universities?"

Li Haoyu asked with some curiosity.

This time, it really wasn't him deliberately causing trouble. Li Haoyu genuinely couldn't understand how such a strange club could exist.

Can this really meet the most basic requirements for establishing a community?

Qiu Yingying saw that Li Haoyu was asking her questions so seriously.

She coughed twice, trying to distract Li Haoyu.

However, Qiu Yingying understood when she saw the look in Li Haoyu's eyes.

If I don't give him a satisfactory answer.

Li Haoyu will never stop asking questions.

"Actually, it's not a formal club. It's just the logistics department... the staff in charge of tea."

"I'm in charge of coffee for the entire student affairs office, so I naturally became skilled over time."

Li Haoyu then suddenly realized what was going on.

So Qiu Yingying was doing odd jobs in college. No wonder she was so confident about making coffee.

Qiu Yingying's smooth transition to barista is due to her early training.

Qiu Yingying began to explain: "The past doesn't matter. Anyway, I brewed every kind of coffee on the market back then."

"Now I can tell what kind of coffee it is just by smelling the coffee beans."

Li Haoyu looked at Qiu Yingying with some skepticism: "Is it really as miraculous as you say?"

Qiu Yingying said with a smug look on her face.

"Why don't you try it if you don't believe me?"

Li Haoyu nodded.

He walked to the glass cabinet and pulled out two sealed bottles of coffee beans. "These are my treasured coffee beans, but I've been too lazy to brew them. Now I can test you."

Qiu Yingying was not going to give up either.

She took the coffee beans and smelled them.

That seriousness made him seem like a completely different person.

"These coffee beans smell so good, with such a strong floral aroma and a hint of tropical fruit."

His confident demeanor made Li Haoyu quite nervous.

Could it be that Qiu Yingying really has something?

They even know about such a rare Geisha coffee.

You should know that Li Haoyu bought this from an auction.

These are the legendary Geisha coffee beans with the Red Label.

Even in Panama, the best place to grow Geisha coffee beans.

Only Geisha coffee beans grown at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters and rated over 90 points can be awarded the Red Label.

In terms of price alone, this is much more expensive than the legendary Kopi Luwak (civet coffee).

"Then tell me, what kind of coffee is this?"

Qiu Yingying replied seriously, "How would I know?"

Li Haoyu: ? ? ?

Qiu Yingying, however, disagreed.

"Do you think we students can afford such expensive coffee beans?" The most expensive coffee I drink regularly is Blue Mountain coffee from the supermarket.

"Isn't it reasonable that I don't recognize him?"

Li Haoyu was speechless after Qiu Yingying's words.

"What you said makes some sense. Go ahead and make me a couple of cups to try. There's an imported coffee machine in the rest area, that should be enough for you."

Qiu Yingying had been waiting for these words for a long time.

She took a bottle of coffee beans and walked out.

As Qiu Yingying left the office, she saw that the bottles were covered with dense English text.

She immediately took out her phone and searched for it.

Qiu Yingying recognized the value of this bottle of coffee beans.

She couldn't help but rub her eyes.

Why are there so many zeros?

This tiny bottle of coffee beans could actually buy a car.

Is the world of the rich really just this extravagant and decadent?
