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

Qiu Yingying opened the lid and took a careful sniff.

Especially after Qiu Yingying learned the price of the coffee beans, she suddenly felt that the aroma of the coffee beans was even stronger.

So she was making coffee.

She unconsciously added a little more coffee beans.

Qiu Yingying's idea was also very simple.

With coffee beans this expensive, adding a little extra is definitely the right thing to do.

Anyway, as long as the coffee beans are good, it won't taste too bad no matter how you brew it. I won't need to put in much effort to easily win over Li Haoyu's picky palate.

So the coffee beans in the coffee machine... kept increasing.

A cup of coffee was ready in no time.

Qiu Yingying took a light sniff.

The aroma was indeed delightful.

Just when she wanted to try it herself and see what such expensive coffee beans tasted like.

My phone kept vibrating.

Qiu Yingying glanced at the message.

"You wouldn't be tempted by the money and run off with my coffee beans, would you? Hurry up and stop dawdling, I can't wait."

Qiu Yingying became a little anxious after seeing the message.

She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly carried the cup into the office.

Li Haoyu was delighted to see that Qiu Yingying had finally returned.

He first took a sniff; the coffee smelled pretty good.

But why is this cup of coffee so dark?

Li Haoyu couldn't help but question it.

"This color isn't right, is it? Why is it so dark?"

Qiu Yingying, naturally unwilling to admit defeat, retorted, "What's the problem! This proves that my coffee doesn't have any random stuff added, and that's what real good coffee is."

Li Haoyu glanced at the stubborn Qiu Yingying.

He pushed the coffee in front of Qiu Yingying: "Then you should take a sip first and see. I'm afraid you'll poison me and kill me."

Qiu Yingying glared at Li Haoyu.

"Fine, I'll drink it. I refuse to believe that the coffee I brewed would taste bad."

To prove herself, she took a big gulp.

Li Haoyu watched as Qiu Yingying's face turned from white to red.

It looks like it's about to burst out any second.

Li Haoyu hurriedly said, "Hang in there, just a little longer."

Li Haoyu felt that he should strike first.

He hurriedly went to Qiu Yingying's side to prevent her from getting her clothes dirty.

He patted Qiu Yingying on the back, and Qiu Yingying could no longer hold back.

She transformed into a water-spraying whale.

After Qiu Yingying finished spraying, she started coughing violently.

"Why is this coffee so bitter? You won't help me, and you're just standing around watching the show."

Li Haoyu rolled his eyes at Qiu Yingying.

"You've got one thing wrong. I'm your boss, there's no reason for me to cater to you. Besides, am I supposed to just stand there and get sprayed with coffee by you?"

Qiu Yingying was speechless.

She had calmed down, but then she started coughing again from anger.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu poured her a glass of water and handed it to her.

"Have some water first, then we can talk."

Qiu Yingying didn't even have time to be moved.

The next sentence immediately shattered her emotions.

"After you finish this glass of water, quickly mop the floor clean, otherwise it will be difficult to clean once it dries."

Qiu Yingying was both anxious and angry.

Unfortunately, she had no way to solve the problem.

After all, she brewed the coffee herself.

Qiu Yingying had no way to argue.

But the one who should have embarrassed himself was Li Haoyu, so why did he have to drink such a big gulp to prove himself?

Qiu Yingying asked, somewhat puzzled, "How do you know there's something wrong with the coffee?"

Li Haoyu pointed helplessly to the coffee beans beside him, "Because I'm not blind. Look how few coffee beans I gave you, no wonder it's bitter!"

"I want coffee, not espresso. If you weren't genuinely a bit slow on the uptake, I'd think you were just trying to embarrass me."

Li Haoyu said, "But what you said just now was so convincing that I almost believed your nonsense. From now on, you can just buy me ready-made coffee."

Qiu Yingying: …………

She didn't know what to say.

I'm actually quite good at making coffee.

Why is it that everything that gets associated with Li Haoyu fails so completely?

Are the two of them really incompatible according to their birth charts?

Or is it a preordained karmic entanglement?

...............

Li Haoyu, on the other hand, was no longer surprised by Qiu Yingying's behavior.

It's true that you don't know the harm without comparison.

Qiu Yingying's carelessness made Li Haoyu miss his meticulous and thoughtful secretary, Li Qianwen.

Although it's only been two days since I last saw her, I already miss her a little.

He sighed and took a picture of Qiu Yingying mopping the floor.

Li Haoyu sent it to Li Qianwen, who was resting at her hometown.

"Compared to you, your foolish disciple is like heaven and earth."

Li Haoyu also knows Li Qianwen very well.

She finally got a short holiday and went back to her hometown, so she'll definitely sleep in. Therefore, Li Qianwen probably won't reply to my text message anytime soon.

Li Haoyu looked at Qiu Yingying, who was dragging.

"Don't even think about slacking off, wipe under the table properly too."

Qiu Yingying nodded and said, "I understand."

Things calmed down considerably in the afternoon.

Qiu Yingying was probably scared by what Li Haoyu said.

She became noticeably more careful and cautious in her actions.

Surprisingly, there weren't any major problems.

Li Haoyu has almost finished resolving his company affairs, so he has plenty of free time left.

Li Haoyu quickly arranged for Guan Juer to ride a road bike.

To persuade Guan Juer to go cycling with him, he made one promise after another. For example, his unused bicycle, his extra sportswear…

Li Haoyu made that promise to Guan Juer with great conviction.

Once she arrives, she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Not to mention that he had arranged to train with Guan Juer that night. If Li Haoyu really broke his promise, his image in Guan Juer's mind would plummet.

It will at least leave an impression of being unreliable.

Fortunately, Li Haoyu was rich, even very rich.

Li Haoyu initially called the road bike manufacturer.

The road bike manufacturer also emphasized that this was a difficult task. On one hand, Li Haoyu requested a road bike made entirely of titanium alloy, which usually requires custom manufacturing.

On the other hand, Li Haoyu gave them too little time.

Li Haoyu didn't waste any time, but simply doubled his budget and offered to pay for any additional expenses.

The manufacturer immediately changed their tune; they said they could source the goods from another city and airfreight them over.

Upon hearing this, Li Haoyu chuckled and hung up the phone.

This is such a trivial matter that it's not worth getting involved in. If it weren't for Guan Juer, he wouldn't have bothered to take action himself.

However, simply cycling is too ordinary.

This made it difficult for Guan Juer to be impressed.

Actually, pursuing a girl like Guan Juer can be simple in some ways, but difficult in others.

In Li Haoyu's view, Guan Juer is actually very similar to Xichun from Dream of the Red Chamber. Just as Rouge commented: "At a young age, she possesses the maturity and experience of an old man."

Guan Juer is clearly very beautiful, but she always has a faint air of asceticism about her.

Because her outward obedience was cultivated, and her inner conservatism was implanted; she has little of her own soul.

It lacks Andy's coolness, Qu Xiaoxiao's allure, Fan Shengmei's charm, and even Qiu Yingying's stupidity.

This is all because Guan Juer has been overprotected since childhood. Unfortunately, she's not as carefree and easygoing as Qiu Yingying, who is able to reconcile with herself.

Guan Juer knew very well that life always had its disappointments, and since she disdained to compete with others, she would put on a protective shell after each hurt, not wanting to get hurt again.

This resulted in her having an excessively thick shell.

It's even more serious than Andy's case.

Therefore, Li Haoyu planned to break all of Guan Juer's protective shells first.

Then, holding her hand, I told her: "I love you. You don't need to change anything. Just be yourself. You don't have to be a perfect wife and mother, or try to please your in-laws..."

In the future, we can be artistic together, be silly together, and do the happiest things together. Only in this way can we truly ignite the flame of love in Guan Juer's heart.

Therefore, Li Haoyu overturned his initial idea.

He initially planned to take the approach of developing feelings over time.

But that would be too slow to take effect, and there are many uncertainties in the future.

Just like Senior Brother Lin, he actually had a chance to win Guan Juer's heart.

At least during her university years, Guan Juer thought her senior brother Lin was outstanding.

Because Guan Juer's world was very small at that time.

In her world, someone who can skip grades and become a top student is an exceptional individual.

The filter of student days often lasts a long time, so much so that when Guan Juer graduated and started working, she received an invitation from her senior classmate Lin to have dinner and a gathering.

She was happy and excited.

However, although Senior Brother Lin tried his best to appear very upright, he was still a hypocrite and someone who could be used for anything.

Although he was completely obedient to Guan Juer's requests and shamelessly fawned over her, his ulterior motives made his fawning appear extremely obvious and low-class.

The contrast between my childhood idol doing this and reality is just too great.

Instead, it made Guan Juer feel disgusted.

Guan Juer actually has a passionate and stubborn heart.

Only when she's so nervous she can't speak, and when she experiences that intense, heart-fluttering feeling, will Guan Juer admit she's fallen in love with someone else.

That was the kind of love she was looking for.

Li Haoyu spent the afternoon thinking.

He decided to unleash a powerful attack on Guan Juer.

We need to completely shock her.

……

Li Haoyu received a call from a road bike manufacturer.

The road bike has arrived.

Li Haoyu said to Qiu Yingying.

"Come downstairs with me and help me get the car."

Qiu Yingying looked puzzled.

"How can I drive for you if I don't have a driver's license?"

Li Haoyu, too lazy to explain, simply made the decision: "Shut up and stop talking nonsense. You'll understand once you come down with me. This is the task I'm giving you; just obey."

Qiu Yingying: ? ? ?

Could this person have a serious illness?

Qiu Yingying had no choice but to follow him downstairs.

Ten minutes later:

When she realized it was a bicycle.

Qiu Yingying's facial expression was quite interesting.

"If you're so rich, why don't you hire someone to transport it instead of making me do it myself?"

Qiu Yingying was quite confused.

Li Haoyu said with a grin, "I'm making the most of you. You're not good at learning, but you have plenty of stamina."

Qiu Yingying: …………

"This bike is for Guanguan. You two are both girls and about the same height and weight. It's a good opportunity for her to try it out and see if it suits her."

"You've actually helped Guanguan this way, and all the help she's given you before hasn't been in vain. Am I wrong?"

Qiu Yingying fell silent.

This is blatant contempt.

They completely treated themselves as free tools.

Li Haoyu rode in front.

Qiu Yingying followed behind on her new bicycle.

The two arrived at the bike path.

The speed also increased as I rode.

Qiu Yingying also forgot her earlier displeasure and became immersed in the charm of cycling.

"Wow, this bike is so easy to ride! I only put in a little effort and it's already so fast. It's way better than shared bikes. How much does it cost? I'd like to buy one and try it out!"

Li Haoyu said calmly.

"Actually, it's not that expensive? I didn't ask about the exact price."

"It seems to be less than 100,000? If you want to buy it, I can help you get a discount from the manufacturer."

Qiu Yingying was so frightened that she slammed on the brakes.

"What! Are they robbing us?"

"Why is a bicycle so expensive? You've been ripped off, haven't you?"

Qiu Yingying felt that Li Haoyu had really gone mad.

She suddenly had a strong urge to take Li Haoyu to the hospital to see if there was something wrong with his brain.

However, Qiu Yingying quickly thought of the price of coffee beans.

She suddenly realized that the bicycle wasn't so outrageous after all.

For Li Haoyu, this mountain bike might be an insignificant expense.

It's similar to casually adding an egg to a pancake you buy when you pass by a pancake stall.

However, at the same time, Qiu Yingying felt a strange and subtle feeling deep inside.

It was a feeling of... jealousy.

Why did Li Haoyu do so much for Qiu Yingying?

No man has ever done these things to her before.

Qiu Yingying knew that this kind of thinking was not good, but the more she tried to suppress this emotion, the stronger it became.

Which girl wouldn't like having a guy who is so considerate of her needs?

What's more, he's not only quite wealthy, but also willing to spend time considering the other person's needs. This is something every woman dreams of, and no girl could remain unmoved by such a thing.

"Are you ever going to stop? A big boss like you is worrying about such a small thing. You're not trying to woo Guan Guan, are you?"

Qiu Yingying really couldn't stand it anymore.

She still asked directly.

"Of course! Otherwise, do you think I'd be so bored? What's the point of making so much money? Besides, isn't a good girl like Guan Guan worth pursuing?"

Li Haoyu replied casually.

He suddenly noticed Qiu Yingying, who had been chattering away just moments before.

It suddenly became quiet.

Qiu Yingying stared at her with a serious expression.

"You'd better take this seriously. She's my best friend. We've never even been in a serious relationship before. If you're just playing around, even if you were my boss, I wouldn't let you get away with it."

Li Haoyu was puzzled as to what was going on.

Qiu Yingying actually said something so reliable.

Li Haoyu was just about to reply to Qiu Yingying.

His eyes suddenly lit up; Guan Juer had already left work.

"Alright, we can talk about this another time."

"Now you will listen to me."

Qiu Yingying suddenly became alert.

"What?"

"Guan Guan has already left work, so stop being a third wheel and get out of here."

Qiu Yingying: ...

What a scoundrel of a boss!

Is this something a human being could do?
