Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 34: Straight Men Are Doomed to Be Alone
Boss Qi, who had only heard of him but never met him, has now become a legendary figure in the Beijing business circle, and many celebrities want to get to know him. Even Boss Qi's spokespersons, Butler Li and Boss Qiao, have become the objects of everyone's scrambling to please him.
The identities of Ling Qiqi, Lu Cheng and Du Jingshan naturally cannot be revealed. To be honest, the three of them, including Li Chuan who played the role of the housekeeper, have had a hard time disguising themselves over the years.
Li Chuan still wears a black mask when running errands these years. In addition to the performers on the stage, other staff in the front and back stages, including trainees, also wear masks, but they are made of white gauze.
The mask can not only make people concealed enough, hiding from the crowd, but also make people conspicuous enough, playing hard to get.
It not only maintains a sense of mystery, but also stimulates curiosity and anticipation, making the audience think that the person who is making tea and pouring water for you may be a famous star in the future, and the money they give to you will unconsciously increase.
Now many people are vying to apply to be waiters at Yuehualou, so much so that Ling Qiqi has become increasingly picky about the waiters' age, figure and appearance.
Lu Cheng felt that it was all because of too much money. Look how Ling Qiqi has been spoiled. She has no interest in money but is very interested in men.
But later, the mask caused quite a stir.
Someone even wore a very similar black mask and pretended to be Boss Qi's housekeeper, and swindled several suppliers of their goods. The suppliers later made a fuss, and after a careful investigation, they found that they were too eager to form a business partner with the Qi family, so they were accidentally deceived and almost ruined Boss Qi's reputation.
After Ling Qiqi found out, she not only signed contracts with these suppliers to supply her with goods for a long time, but also customized waist badges for all her employees to prove their identity. The design and craftsmanship of the waist badges are extremely difficult to copy, which can prevent people from passing themselves off as genuine and defrauding others in the name of her boss Qi.
This waist badge also became a token of honest business in the capital. Sometimes, if Boss Qi's employees did not bring enough silver, as long as they put this waist badge as a deposit, the other party would still be confident to deliver the goods.
Recently, something happened that made Ling Qiqi very troubled.
Yu'er was almost 26 years old, and had long reached the age to leave the palace. Ling Qiqi had become accustomed to Yu'er's care and companionship, and of course she was reluctant to let her go, but there was no reason to force her to stay in the palace and not let her go out to marry.
In fact, on the contrary, Ling Qiqi really wanted Yu'er to get married, especially if that person was Senior Brother Jingshan. This way, the wealth would not flow into the hands of outsiders.
She has been supporting the couple for quite some time, but the more she supports them, the less interested she becomes. She feels that if they continue like this, their relationship will collapse sooner or later.
Although Yu'er never admitted it, Ling Qiqi felt that Yu'er must like Senior Brother Jingshan, but Du Jingshan was like a big blockhead in front of Yu'er.
It was obvious that in the previous second, Ling Qiqi had made Du Jingshan blush, but in the next second Yu'er came and Du Jingshan turned into a serious scholar.
Ling Qiqi really couldn't tell whether Du Jingshan liked Yu'er or not, so one time she couldn't hold it in any longer and asked him.
"What do you think of Yu'er?"
"Yu'er is very good and has devoted herself to the Seventh Princess' affairs."
"I didn't ask if she was good or not, nor did I ask if she was good to me or not. I just wanted to ask you, do you like her or not, do you want to marry her?"
Du Jingshan's face turned red all the way to his ear holes, and Ling Qiqi thought to herself: There's hope!
Unexpectedly, Du Jingshan replied:
"I don't think anything wrong about her."
Ling Qiqi wanted to curse:
"I don't have any ulterior motives. Why are you blushing for no reason?"
"Really do not have."
"What's wrong with Yu'er?"
"There's nothing wrong with her. She's very good. It's just that I don't have any intention of marrying her."
"Who do you want to marry then? Do you already have a woman you like?"
"not at all."
"No? No woman you like, or no one you like?"
"What's the difference?"
"Yes, I suspect you might be gay."
"Give what?"
"I'm going to give you a slap in the face so that you can wake up. If you had used the energy you put into staring at me all day long on Yu'er, you would have become a father long ago. You and the Sixth Prince are destined to be alone, straight men are destined to be alone."
"What does it mean to know the difficulty of pig bones?"
"What it means is that you deserve not to be able to find a wife."
Ling Qiqi had a serious talk with Yu'er and asked her about her plans.
Yu'er said that she was willing to stay in the palace and accompany her forever, and never marry.
Although Ling Qiqi felt that it was not important for a woman to get married or not, she really could not bear it if a man did not get married because of her.
Besides, there are so many rules to break in this small palace. What is there to wait for?
So she asked her doubts, but she didn't expect Yu'er's answer to be: Although there is a place to go after leaving the palace, it is not a home.
Ling Qiqi seemed to understand.
Three days later, she had another earnest talk with Yu'er. She found a place for Yu'er to go and asked her if she wanted to go.
Yu'er asked where it was, so Ling Qiqi told her all about her great achievements outside the palace in the past few years, which shocked Yu'er so much that she was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Yu'er had known before that the Seventh Princess had been courageous and opinionated since she was a child, but this was too much.
Ling Qiqi couldn't care less. She told Yu'er that as long as Yu'er was willing, she would let Yu'er take care of the business of her pawnshop. First, she had been in the palace for many years and was very familiar with jewelry and jade. Second, the pawnshop was just a business on the surface, but there was actually something else going on, so she needed someone she trusted very much, and she trusted Yu'er. However, Yu'er needed to change her identity, and it might not be appropriate for her to have any relationship with her family and friends. But she would arrange someone else to take care of her family.
Ling Qiqi asked Yu'er to think about it carefully and not to rush to answer her.
Unexpectedly, Yu'er agreed the next day.
Ling Qiqi asked her if she had made up her mind, after all, it was not easy to cut off contact with her family.
But Yu'er said that her friend had lost contact with her since she entered the palace. As for her family, she had been away from home for many years, and her feelings had changed from restraint to alienation. Even if they saw each other every day, they might not be close. After a long time, there would be friction and resentment. It was fine like this now, as long as she knew that they were doing well.
Seeing Yu'er say this, Ling Qiqi didn't say anything more. She asked someone to report Yu'er's leaving the palace to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and let them handle the relevant matters according to the rules.
Yu'er used this time to train the palace maids in the Bulao Pavilion very carefully, fearing that they would not take good care of the Seventh Princess after she left the palace.
In addition, Ling Qiqi asked Lu Cheng to find a way to help Yu'er get a safe new identity. After all, Yu'er has been in the palace for so many years, going in and out of various palaces, and it is inevitable that she will be recognized in the future.
Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng asked her to explain first, why did she call him and Du Jingshan pig bones. Ling Qiqi denied it flatly. Lu Cheng didn't believe it at all, and the matter was left unresolved.
Nowadays, although household registration is still in place, it is not difficult to forge one. Originally, Lu Cheng wanted to give Yu'er an identity as a peddler's widow, but Ling Qiqi almost scratched Lu Cheng after she found out.
What's the plan? Yu'er was a beautiful young girl, but she became a widow inexplicably. How can she get married in the future?
Therefore, Ling Qiqi simply let Yu'er become Boss Qi's adopted daughter. There will probably be many people who want to marry her in the future, and Yu'er can choose any one at that time.
Not long after, Yu'er successfully left the palace and became the adopted daughter of a business tycoon, named Qi Qing. She officially took over the pawnshop business under the name of Boss Qi. She went out early and came back late every day, and had no time to care about love.
The guys in the pawnshop called her Miss Qing. She also wore a mask usually, but it was a light blue one.
