"Yes, who knew it was so close to your house? I just wanted to come and take a look." Chen Shiyu only found out last night from his mother that Li Qingmi lived in the same neighborhood as him. He had never even met Li Qingmi before.
"Want to come to my concert tonight? I'll give you two tickets. You're just killing time anyway."
Li Qinghui quickly recovered from her shock and glanced at Li Qingmi again. "Brother, you'll be going too, right?"
Li Qingmi: "..." Having you as my younger sister is my blessing.
Fine, I'll reluctantly listen to this concert by a fellow gossip enthusiast.
Li Qingmi put the book down, sat up straight, and then stood up. "Give me the tickets, I'm going upstairs to take a nap."
Li Qinghui knew exactly what her brother was thinking. From his expressions and actions, she could tell that he was definitely thinking about what to wear tonight!
Just as Chi Yining hung up Chen Shiyu's call, another call came in.
Chi Yining: " Sister Ling."
" Yining, there's an event tonight with lots of celebrities in attendance. It's at the Capital Light and Shadow Tower. Do you want to go?" Ma Ling on the other end of the phone was a little unsure if her little darling's preferences had changed. She had previously said she would tell him about any place where she could make an appearance.
Upon hearing this, Chi Yining was even less inclined to go. He was worried about stepping on someone's skirt, bumping into their water glass, or performing a dramatic wrestling match – all of which the original owner had already experienced. Now, he was even less willing to go, fearing it would trigger memories for netizens.
After considering for a long time, Chi Yining slowly said, " Sister Ling, thank you. However, please don't turn down any more of these kinds of events for me in the future. I'll retire from the entertainment industry after I finish recording this variety show. Also, you can calculate how much the company has spent on me over the years, including the breach of contract penalty. I will return all of that amount."
Chi Yining knew his words had come as a surprise, but he believed Sister Ling would be happy to get rid of this big troublemaker.
But in reality, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Ma Ling, usually so optimistic, suddenly became somber. " Yining, could we extend the timeline after the variety show recording ends, and not announce it publicly for now? Sister Ling company has only recently started to see some improvement, and we still need your help..."
Chi Yining for a moment, recalling that in recent years the original owner had indeed caused a lot of negative impact on the company, and the company's collapse could be largely attributed to the original owner.
Chi Yining: "Okay, but please don't help me get events outside the company. Also, you can let me know if the company has any difficulties, and you can contact me if you need any funding."
" Yining, no, Sister Ling will handle her own problems. Besides, a big boss has recently invested in us. You're still young, where are you going to get so much money? Don't go looking for some lousy sugar Sister Ling behind Sister Ling's back."
Hearing Ma Ling's series of words of concern for him, Chi Yining couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. In this agency, Sister Ling seemed to have never made things difficult for the original owner of this body and had always been thinking of him.
" Sister Ling, don't worry. And thank you all along. Goodbye." Chi Yining hung up the phone hastily before Ma Ling could speak again.
The original owner's tear ducts were so difficult to control; he couldn't help but get teary-eyed. He was afraid that if he heard Ma Ling say another word of concern, tears would well up in his eyes.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Yan Guiyun shifted her gaze from him to the notebook on the table, her tone thoughtful.
Initially a little embarrassed, but not expecting Brother Yan to give him space, Chi Yining composed himself and raised his voice again. "I don't know, Brother Yan, you can decide for me."
