Chapter 75 - Cold War (5)

After the song was finished, the whole bar applauded. Many people stood up while clapping and shouting, “One more, one more…!”

Meanwhile, Lan Jinyao and the others were in their own little world.

The scenes were gradually progressing, and everyone had an important role. Their lives were just like the writing of a script.

Today, Xu Jin’ge only had a light layer of makeup on, which gave off a relaxed impression compared to how annoying her personality actually was. She casually smiled before she said to Lan Jinyao, “Yeah, I’m coming to say goodbye. I hope that before I leave the plan doesn’t change!”

She thought that if Fu Bainian wanted her to go abroad, then she couldn’t refuse. But, even if she couldn’t use that secret to threaten them, she still had other methods.

Lan Jinyao suddenly had a feeling that the woman in front of her was scheming something.

Perhaps she was just overthinking things! Lan Jinyao thought. After Xu Jin’ge had said her piece, she turned and left, leaving Li Qi dumbfounded as he watched her departing figure. He then said, “She’s leaving? Just like that?”

Although Lan Jinyao was utterly confused, she didn’t think too much about it. “As you can see, she really left.”

“Is that woman out of her mind? She especially approached you just to say all that?” Li Qi asked, utterly puzzled. He couldn’t help but guess at her motives. “Did she see what you said during Rouge Fermentation’s promotion interview and was touched?”

Lan Jinyao suppressed the urge to roll her eyes. “If everyone in the crew knew that my words were fake, don’t you think that Xu Jin’ge would realise it too? Why would she believe it?”

Li Qi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he said, “I think that judging by Xu Jin’ge’s tone just now she wants to remind...no, it was to warn you of something! It was like she thought that the matter of her going abroad would change!”

Although he had no idea what was going on, he could guess it by speculation alone; it must be related to the cold atmosphere around President Fu this morning. When a third party stepped in, it was one of the most troublesome things. But, fortunately, his He Xiaoyun wouldn’t be like this.

Lan Jinyao’s mood became heavy at Li Qi’s words.

After a while, she faintly said, “It doesn’t matter. Since Fu Bainian has opened his mouth, then she must go abroad. Despite knowing that she can’t stay abroad for long, who can guess the future?”

She downed a mouthful of wine and leaned back on her seat, looking reckless.

“Don’t drink so fiercely; it’ll save you from getting drunk later. What’s more, I still have to send you home!”

“What does it matter? If I were really drunk later on, you could just call Fu Bainian to come and take me home. He did something wrong anyway. I’m just giving him a chance to redeem himself,” she said as she carelessly smiled.

Obviously, it was just a joke, but Li Qi took it seriously. His hand on Lan Jinyao’s glass was immediately removed, and he made a ‘go on’ gesture. “Please, you continue to drink. I’ll call President Fu to come later, just be aware that you’ll experience the pressure we’ve all felt in the company today, and you’ll be scared.”

Lan Jinyao chuckled, and her hair scattered in front of her face and shoulders. She was still calm, contrary to her noisy surroundings.

After a moment, Lan Jinyao stood up and went to the lavatory.

Just at this moment, Fu Bainian’s tall figure appeared at the entrance of the bar. Wearing a suit, he looked astute and capable. Li Qi saw him with just a glance, but he couldn’t help but click his tongue and sigh. “President Fu’s eyes are really good. Who would’ve thought that this marriage would help Chen Meimei turn over a new leaf? Not just her aura, but even her character had become better. She’s now like a goddess.”
