I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

She asked herself this question.

Just like now, throughout China, and even the world, from rural television to every corner of the internet, everyone's voices are converging on the same message:

Where is JX?

Who exactly is this man who never shows his face but has left a legend in music history?

Jiang Xinhai looked into the distance.

A light mist enveloped the hometown from which he had left, and every blade of grass and every tree in the mountains silently gazed at her, unable to answer her question.

She kept whispering Chen Ya's name in her heart.

……

Fragrant Capital.

Inside a cramped rented room.

Looking at the mess of clothes on the floor and the pots and pans scattered haphazardly in the sink, Lu Ningna wrinkled her nose.

She had never lived in such a filthy place before, and she even suspected there might be cockroaches there.

The man who brought her here unbuttoned his suit jacket, plopped down on the single sofa in the room, and pulled out another lollipop from his pocket.

“I want to go home,” Lu Ningna said. “This is illegal detention.”

“I’m just doing my job,” the man said. “My job is to keep you here for three days. If you cooperate, we can do this without any restrictions and get it done easily.”

As the eldest daughter of the Lu family patriarch, Lu Ningna had never suffered such humiliation.

She was very angry.

Generally speaking, when Lu Ningna is very angry, it means that someone is about to suffer.

So when she puts on this kind of face, anyone who sees it will be scared and will try their best to make amends.

But the man in front of him ignored him.

Facing the daughter of the Lu family patriarch, someone of his status should at least be more respectful, even if he doesn't grovel.

But seeing him sitting there so unburdened, it was as if he himself was a member of a prestigious family, while she, the daughter of the Lu family, was someone of low status.

"Once I regain my freedom, I will absolutely use all the power of the Lu family to fight this case to the end. I mean what I say."

After Lu Ningna finished speaking, that person demonstrated what it means to not only turn a blind eye but also a deaf ear.

He even crossed his legs, picked up the remote, and turned on the TV.

"Hmm, oh, Gu Yuqing's work efficiency is not bad, she came up with a reform plan so quickly... I can't praise her to her face, otherwise she will definitely try to extort something from me."

Lu Ningna decided not to listen to his nonsense. Gu Yuqing, reforming Aihua... such fantastical things were definitely made up by him just to get some information out of her.

She slowly sat down on the sofa next to him, her gaze warily fixed on the seemingly unreliable person in front of her. After observing for a while, she noticed something—

He's quite handsome.

"Who exactly are you?" Lu Ningna asked.

She had already made up her mind.

Even if the department behind this person is ruthless, with her family's power, it would be easy to suppress a minor figure rather than deal with the people behind him.

The man shrugged and answered her casually, almost philosophically:

"Just an ordinary person."

Chapter 181 The Lu Family's Heiress (Already Fat and Ready to Be Slaughtered) (Three-in-One)

December, first snow.

Christmas bells rang from the pale purple horizon, and fine, powdery snow fell from the sky, its cool touch landing on my face.

The neighbor's window shone with warm yellow light, as if telling those outside that their family was reunited.

Qin Yun Chu let out a soft sigh, and the white vapor quickly dissipated into the air.

She stepped onto the bluestone slabs covered with a thin layer of snow and walked towards home.

It has been three months since the filming of the program "Poetic Life" wrapped up.

Over the past three months, various forces have been vying for influence around the private music collection, creating a complex and unpredictable situation. The secrets and gossip surrounding it could fill several days.

If a book on the history of Chinese music is ever published in the future, it will definitely be written about as a historical event, with great emphasis on the opening day of the "Music Private Collection".

There would certainly be many discussions about this small museum hall, such as its "historical significance," "historical background," and "social impact"...

It's bound to be praised to the skies, with words like "promoted," "enhanced," "developed," "continued," and "improved"—that's how it's bound to happen, right?

I wonder if I will benefit from this and be included in that book, so that future generations can admire me.

Of course, that was just a thought she had.

It's easy to imagine that history will only focus on Chen Ya's influence on music.

As for the immense power he unleashed, which caused the once-powerful Lu family to fall into its current semi-collapsed state, it certainly won't be mentioned in history.

Yingzi has been imprisoned ever since, Haiya Company has completely changed hands, the Gu family's power has greatly increased, and the four major families have now been reduced to only one superpower and two strong powers... History books certainly won't care about such trivial matters.

History books are very unforgiving; the Lu family probably doesn't even deserve to appear in them.

Qin Yunchu's home is in an upscale villa area on Huanbei Road. Apart from the maid who takes care of her, she lives alone.

Today is Christmas, and my father had planned to celebrate with everyone in the family. However, due to something, he stood everyone up.

Fortunately, Qin Yunchu is different today than before.

She made plans with a friend today.

Pushing open the door, a wave of heat and noise rushed out of the room.

"Merry Christmas!"

Merry Christmas!

The once quiet house was now filled with people.

They were all women.

Wearing a fitted sweater, Liu Ruyan sat at the door reading, holding a steaming cup of coffee in her hand;

Xia You squatted on a restaurant chair with a fierce expression. The laptop in front of her emitted a faint blue light, and her ten fingers flew across the keyboard as if she were arguing with someone.

Jiang Xinhai, Su Xiaonuan, and Gu Yuqing were playing cards. At that moment, her face was covered with notes, which made her look unhappy.

Lu Keke and Lu Aiai were playing Connect Four. They were arguing about whether they could take back a move when Qin Yunchu left, and they were still arguing now.

Ruriko Asai stood alone on the balcony, talking on her phone with a serious expression. Occasionally, she would raise her pale fingers and gently rub her temples, as if she were having a lot of trouble.

"I'm back!" Qin Yunchu held up the plastic bag in her hand. "I brought back some snacks."

Xia You suddenly appeared from behind, accurately pulled out a lollipop from among countless snacks, and left with a "Thanks."

Several people then crowded around, rummaging through the bag for their favorite foods. In the end, Liu Ruyan helped her take the heavy plastic bag from her hands.

"Thank you," Qin Yunchu said.

Liu Ruyan said timidly, "You need to change your shoes."

After saying that, she left as if fleeing.

Qin Yunchu smiled slightly, unbuttoned her coat, revealing her high, round, and perky chest.

Her jeans clung tightly to her round, straight thighs. It took her a bit of effort to unzip her black knee-high boots, freeing her shapely calves and feet clad in white cotton socks.

Gu Yuqing, clutching several bottles of beer, plopped down on the carpet in front of the coffee table and shouted loudly:

"So, now that Yun Chu is back, our first offline meeting for the 'Heartbroken Boys Take-In Group' will begin!"

After she finished speaking, she opened several bottles of beer, and sporadic applause rang out in the room.

Gu Yuqing suddenly pulled a girl out from behind her as if she had appeared out of nowhere, and said:

"Our first topic today is to celebrate the addition of our new group members. Xiangxiao, please say hello to everyone."

Xu Xiangxiao stood there, her face flushed, unsure of what to do with her hands and feet, stammering, "H-Hello everyone..."

“Stop torturing her,” Jiang Xinhai said. “Xiangxiao, just relax. This isn’t some mafia organization. Just take it easy.”

"Oh, oh!" Xu Xiangxiao nodded.

Liu Ruyan asked, "What is the second topic?"

Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes: "There's no other topic. If we have to have one, we can just eat and drink."

Everyone readily agreed, and the beer on the table was quickly downed by a few hearty-hearted individuals.

"It's supposed to be a gathering of friends, but one important person is missing," Jiang Xinhai said wistfully, taking a sip of beer.

Many people stopped what they were doing.

indeed.

It was supposed to be a gathering of friends, but the heartbroken boy named Chen Ya wasn't there.

It still feels a little off.

"Where is Chen Ya?" Gu Yuqing asked Qin Yunchu.

Qin Yun Chu shook her head and said, "He said he had something to do at home and asked for a long leave, so I couldn't refuse."

It's funny.

Since the last music collection incident, Chen Ya has been in a state of hiding from XZ.

The person who has the most complete grasp of his whereabouts is actually Qin Yun Chu, who is the person most distant from him.

This is because Chen Ya's job has been transferred to headquarters, and Qin Yun Chu has become his direct superior.

"How long of a leave did you take?" Gu Yuqing asked casually while drinking her beer.

"There's no specific timeframe, but it's been a long time. I've arranged for him to take unpaid leave, and I'm worried he won't come back to work."

Gu Yuqing frowned, and her slightly furrowed brows looked quite beautiful.

Ruriko joined the group, sat down at the coffee table, and took a vicious bite of a potato chip.

“They’re all idiots… complete idiots, honestly, why does Ruriko have to put up with this kind of treatment…”

In the past few months, her Chinese has improved by leaps and bounds, and Qin Yun Chu can hardly tell that she is Japanese.

Gu Yuqing asked, "What's wrong? Is things not going well at Haiya Company?"

Ruriko shook her head vigorously, her two jet-black twin ponytails swaying behind her head:

"It's easy to handle, but my subordinates are all idiots, so it's not easy to handle."

Since the change of ownership of Haiya Company, the new president who took office was a surprise to everyone. She was a Japanese girl whom no one had ever heard of before. No one knew where the Gu family had found her.

What surprised everyone even more was that this Japanese girl handled everything in an orderly manner and acted decisively. Haiya Company actually seemed to be thriving under Aiwa's strategy.

If Qin Yun Chu hadn't witnessed Liu Li Zi constantly complaining about how difficult her job was, she would have suspected that Gu Yu Qing had unearthed a once-in-a-lifetime business genius.

"I'll arrange some reliable people for you later," Gu Yuqing said.

“No need,” Ruriko said, opening a new bag of potato chips. “I’m already used to torturing those idiots. After torturing them for a while longer, I’ll be ready to graduate.”

Qin Yun Chu leaned close to Gu Yu Qing in a low voice and asked:

"Sister Yuqing, why is Liulizi so good at business tactics?"

"Don't you know?" Gu Yuqing raised her eyebrows, which resembled distant mountains, and said, "Don't underestimate her. Do you know the Asai family of Japan?"

"Is it the Asai family that controls the Triangle Group?" Qin Yun Chu reacted quickly.

“Yes, it’s them,” Gu Yuqing said. “She’s the princess and genius of the Asai family. What’s so strange about her managing a small company like Haiya?”

"Oh."

Qin Yunchu lowered his head and drank.

Everyone in this room is so outstanding.

The pressure is immense.

After a few rounds of drinks, everyone was a little drunk, and Gu Yuqing started to slur her words:
