Song Yanqing went to the JSY Club. When he left, he prepared plenty of snacks for Shang Shujue and even found him a 78-episode drama series about a ruthless power struggle and revenge plot. Only then did he leave home satisfied.
Shang Shujue sat back on the living room sofa, hugging a cushion and holding a bag of potato chips. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the TV screen, Fox absorbed in the story.
While Shang Shujue was leisurely watching TV, Song Yanqing drove to a villa area in the suburbs.
The security system in this villa area is very strict, and the residents are mostly well-known people, such as celebrities, internet celebrities, and e-sports players.
The entire villa area was divided up. Song Yanqing was the small owner of the JSY Esports Club. His family was not poor, so the club was located here. It was a high-end club with a very nice environment.
Other clubs can't afford to stay here, so it often happens that paparazzi stake out the place and leak information. No media reporters or paparazzi are allowed to enter here.
Unless there is a special invitation and a special pass, the security personnel will absolutely not allow entry, after all, the villa is not only home to people from the JSY Club, but also celebrities and internet influencers.
Song Yanqing's license plate number had already been entered into the system, but before entering the villa area, he still had to stop, roll down his window, and let the security personnel scan his face before he could pass. This shows how strict the security work was.
Song Yanqing entered the gate, drove his car to the JSY Club parking lot, and hadn't even gotten out of the car yet.
A Maybach pulled up in a parking space not far from him, and several men and women dressed in the same clothes got out of the car.
One of the men was tall and had long legs, an outstanding temperament, and handsome features. It was clear at a glance that he was no ordinary person. Moreover, he had a familiar aura about him, very similar to the Little Fox at home. Perhaps it was because of the Fox Token around his neck, but his senses were clearer than usual.
Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that the logo on their clothes reads "Wenhui Magazine Publishing House," indicating that they are employees of Wenhui Magazine Publishing House, and the man leading them is clearly their boss.
Perhaps Song Yanqing's gaze was too intense, for the person being stared at suddenly turned around. Upon meeting his eyes, the person paused for a moment, then turned and whispered something to the person beside them before leaving.
Song Yanqing got out of the car and closed the door, but didn't leave immediately. The man walked over and stood about a meter away from him with a gentle smile.
"You must be Area, the captain of JSY Team. I'm Yi Shuang, the head of the news department at Wenhui Magazine Publishing House. It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope our collaboration will go smoothly later."
As Yi Shuang spoke, he extended his hand to Song Yanqing. Looking at the other's face, his gaze involuntarily shifted downwards, pausing slightly when it fell upon the Dark Jade Iron hanging around Song Yanqing's neck. This was... Xiao Jue's Fox Token chain...
Yi Shuang subtly used her spiritual power and, upon seeing the pendant Song Yanqing had hidden inside his clothes and draped over his chest, confirmed that it was Shang Shujue's Fox Token. Her feelings were complicated.
"The cooperation went smoothly, please..."
Song Yanqing had no idea what Yi Shuang had decided in that brief second. After politely shaking hands with him, he led him toward the club.
He wasn't really interested in finding out if this person had any special relationship with the Little Fox. The Little Fox at home had basically become attached to him, and he was too lazy to chase the person away. In any case, having another mischievous Little Fox in the house would actually make it more lively.
Seeing that Song Yanqing was cold but still quite polite, Yi Shuang was momentarily at a loss for words. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Area, is Xiao Jue at your house?"
Song Yanqing: "..."
Song Yanqing paused, turned to look at him, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. "Yes."
Then, Song Yanqing Song Yanqing silent. He didn't mention a single question about when Shang Shujue arrived at his house, how long he had stayed, why he had given him the Fox Token, or their current relationship.
But Yi Shuang thought of many possibilities in a short period of time, even the scenario where Shang Shujue couldn't live without him. He thought too much and his imagination was too rich, so he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The Fox Token has already been given away; even if there are many problems, that's their business, and he can't interfere.
Moreover, that's not the most important thing right now. The most important thing is that he came here today on a strict order from his superiors.
The reason Wenhui is willing to invest so much in cooperating with the JSY Club is to stir up hatred between JSY and other clubs through interviews and probing questions, thereby generating buzz and creating a disturbance among fans.
This wasn't originally his responsibility. The person who was in charge before was a pragmatic person who refused to do such a despicable thing and was fired. So he was forced to take over. He hadn't originally planned to get involved in human infighting.
He was only here today to go through the motions, since the interviewer was the one asking the questions, and he was only responsible for chatting with the person in charge of JSY. But now that he knows Song Yanqing's position in Shang Shujue's heart, he can't just sit idly by.
"You're someone Xiao Jue cares about, so there are some things I need to make clear to you. I'm here today on a mission, and I'm not afraid to tell you, but I won't stop them."
"After all, I need this job to survive in the human world. You're Xiao Jue's person, so you're practically half a person from Mount Qingqiu. We're both from Qingqiu, so I won't hide it from you..."
Yi Shuang didn't beat around the bush at all, directly explaining his mission, the purpose of Wenhui Magazine Publishing House's sudden cooperation with JSY, and the significant profits involved.
After listening to what he said, Song Yanqing remained silent for a long time before nodding. "I understand, thank you. I will explain this to the manager."
After a pause, Song Yanqing solemnly promised him, "I won't let you lose your job. Xiao Jue is home alone; you can visit him at Lotus Vista when you have time."
"Okay, I've written it down."
After their conversation ended, the two went into the club together. Song Yanqing went to find Zhou Lin, and a little while later, everyone in the JSY Club was called into the conference room.
Yi Shuang returned to the lounge that JSY Club had prepared for Wenhui and saw everyone staring blankly at the question drafts in their hands. She knew they had probably been tricked into coming.
"Don't worry, I've given the questions you want to ask to JSY's people. Just ask them as usual in a bit, they'll have the answers prepared in advance. Let's keep our jobs first."
Everyone was surprised that the newly appointed minister was so easy to talk to and had even taken care of everything for them in advance. They were so moved that they wanted to kowtow to him.
Yi Shuang was both amused and exasperated by their antics. She stopped their exaggerated act of kneeling and then sat down to drink tea, quietly waiting for JSY's reply.
The final interview took place as scheduled, because the questions and answers were clear and straightforward.
Both sides breathed a sigh of relief when they faced off, but they didn't know if the leaders at Wenhui Magazine Publishing House would accept this result.
However, this is none of JSY's business anymore.
When Yi Shuang left, she seemed to remember something and found Song Yanqing alone to give him some instructions about Shang Shujue. Seeing that he didn't show any expression, she thought he had taken it to heart before leaving with her workers.
