"What on earth do you mean by this?" Qu Qingzhu looked at Su Jingmo with confusion, and asked, "This equity transfer letter of yours is for a bar in Jing City! And you're transferring it to me? Didn't you always say that you were just an ordinary worker who went abroad to start a business? Where's the ordinary worker you said you were? How come you own a bar in Jing City? You should have some status in Jing City! By the way, Dai Dai never told me where you were from, and I thought you were an orphan like us!"

"Yes, what I told you is true. I am indeed a worker who went abroad to start a business. This should be considered an ordinary person, hahahaha, but there are indeed some things I concealed." Su Jingmo said slowly. Although it seemed like a joke, his eyes revealed a subtle complex emotion.

"What part? What's going on? Does Daidai know about this? You can't be from a wealthy family like the Jiang family..." Qu Qingzhu felt more and more confused and crazy. This matter was completely beyond his original cognition and expectation.

"She doesn't know. I plan to tell her after the variety show is over. As for whether he is from a wealthy family, I..." Su Jingmo replied calmly, his face seemed to hide some unknown thoughts.

"Don't be so slow, hurry up and tell me who you are? What is your identity and status in Jing City!" Qu Qingzhu stared at Su Jingmo closely and asked this key question, his eyes full of eagerness and curiosity.

"Actually, I'm from the Beijing Su Group, that is, the Su family..." Su Jingmo spoke slowly, telling everything he had been hiding bit by bit.

"You... No wonder you haven't dared to tell Dai Dai. She seems to have never liked wealthy families since she was a child. If you tell her now, I might have to find a new brother-in-law." After listening to Su Jingmo's story, Qu Qingzhu felt relieved and couldn't help making a joke.

"No, she can only be mine." Su Jingmo's tone was full of determination and possessiveness, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, then what are you going to do? Can you tell her after the variety show is over?" Qu Qingzhu asked with a look of concern on his face.

"Well, I've already discussed it with her. Although I don't know why she hates wealthy families so much, she should tell me after the variety show is over." Su Jingmo said with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

"Okay, I don't care about what happens between you two, but what about this?" Qu Qingzhu raised the share transfer document in his hand and asked again. His eyes were fixed on Su Jingmo, trying to see some clues from his face.

"I actually founded this bar when I was in Jing City because I was bored. Since I went abroad, my brother has been helping me manage it. Now, I have decided to transfer it to you, and I hope you can go to Jing City to develop it and make it as powerful as the 'Whisper of the Night' in Hai City." Su Jingmo said solemnly to Qu Qingzhu, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Well, do you think so highly of me? I don't know much about Beijing. Although you gave me information about other bars, I don't know the twists and turns of Beijing. If anything happens, I won't be able to do anything..." Qu Qingzhu said with a frown.

"I believe you can do it. For Daidai, you can definitely do it. And I will definitely take her back to Jing City later. Before we go back, you go to Jing City to scout the way for her. Isn't that a good idea?" Su Jingmo used Qu Qingdai to suppress Qu Qingzhu. He knew how deep Qu Qingzhu's feelings for Qu Qingdai were.

"Okay, you're so cruel! Use Dai Dai to control me. For Dai Dai, I'll go!" Qu Qingzhu said helplessly. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. For Qu Qingdai, he was willing to try.

"Okay, brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work. Oh, by the way, speaking of your two good friends Du Zhong and Gu Senyu, they are both from Beijing. Gu Senyu is filming in Beijing now. When you get there, you can contact him as soon as possible. He is not just an ordinary movie star." Su Jingmo raised his eyebrows as he spoke, with a meaningful expression on his face.

Then he continued, "And Du Zhong, even though he always looks nonchalant and carefree, he's actually a well-known rich second-generation man in Jing City, commonly known as the 'Little Prince of the Bar.' He's been in Hai City long enough, so why don't you go back to Jing City with him? You can start this new bar together."

"Great! They actually hid such a big thing from me!" Qu Qingzhu said gritting his teeth.

"Hahaha, maybe they are too busy and forgot to mention these to you. Look at Gu Senyu, he is busy all day long, let's not talk about him for now. And Du Zhong does look a bit careless and heartless." Su Jingmo said with a smile, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Okay, let's not talk about them. I will ask them when the time comes. I accept your suggestion. I have to prepare well and go to Jing City to develop. I will leave after I have arranged all the things in Hai City. By the way, there is Dai Dai. You must take good care of her for me and bring her to Jing City safely." Qu Qingzhu solemnly instructed Su Jingmo. Although he knew very well that Su Jingmo would definitely take good care of Qu Qingdai, he still couldn't help but remind him over and over again.

"I know, brother-in-law, don't worry. I wish you all the best." Su Jingmo said, raising the wine glass in his hand, with a sincere smile on his face.

"Well, everything went well." Qu Qingzhu also raised his wine glass and gently touched it with Su Jingmo's glass, making a crisp and pleasant sound, as if cheering for the new journey they were about to embark on.

After bidding farewell to Su Jingmo, Qu Qingzhu returned to his office with a resolute gait, full of hope for the future. He slowly sat down in his chair, sinking into the soft backrest, his fingers unconsciously tapping the desk. A moment later, he pulled his phone from his pocket and expertly dialed Du Zhong's number.

"Hello, Brother Qu, what do you want to talk to me about? Do you want to invite me over for a drink?" Du Zhong's voice on the other end of the phone was full of anticipation, and the excited tone seemed to make people see the excitement on his face.

"What do you think, Little Prince of the Bar?" Qu Qingzhu's tone was full of sarcasm and irony, and his voice was particularly clear in the quiet office.

"Ah... How do you know my name in Jingshi? Who told you? Was it that dog from Senyu?" Du Zhong shouted in surprise on the other end of the phone, and he seemed very excited.

"Who are you calling a dog? You are such a disrespectful guy. You should call him second brother!" Qu Qingzhu said with a smile.

"No, I was drunk at the time. It doesn't count." Du Zhong, annoyed, recalled his drunken behavior. He recalled the time when the three of them were at a bar, all of them getting drunk on a whim. In that hazy state, they'd actually sworn brotherhood. And the dazed Du Zhong had done something incredibly stupid. He was the oldest of the three, Gu Senyu the youngest, but he'd insisted on being the younger brother, saying it was better to have an older brother's affection. Thus, he'd forcibly transformed himself from the eldest brother into the youngest.

Thinking of his sad past, Du Zhong pretended to be sad and touched away the non-existent tears, then continued: "Brother Qu, you haven't told me what happened yet." Although Du Zhong said he was reluctant, he felt no pressure when he called Qu Qingzhu "brother", and it came naturally.

"Do you want to go to Beijing to open a bar together?" Qu Qingzhu said slowly, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in his words.

"Wow, so exciting! Brother Qu, you are so awesome!" Du Zhong was so excited on the other end of the phone that he danced with joy and even jumped up excitedly, as if he had won the lottery.

"This is what happened..." Qu Qingzhu slowly and carefully recounted the conversation between him and Su Jingmo.

"Wow, it turns out that our brother-in-law is so capable, and that's from the Su family! Brother Qu, to be honest, although I look so majestic and arrogant in Hai City, when I come to Jing City, I am completely not up to the mark in their circle of top wealthy families. Of course, Gu Senyu is different. Although he is not as good as our brother-in-law, he is also a member of their circle. When I first learned about his identity, I was also scared." Du Zhong talked incessantly, his words full of emotion.

"Well, I know. I just got a rough idea of ​​the situation. But don't underestimate yourself. We're not bad at all." Qu Qingzhu said slowly with a confident smile, "Tell me, are you interested in working together? Together with Senyu, we can seize the position of the number one bar in Beijing. How about it?"

"Okay, then let's follow Brother Qu and work hard, so that I don't have to be accused of doing nothing all day long by my family." Du Zhong responded without hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll call Senyu and talk to him. Come to my house tomorrow morning and we'll discuss it with him via video." Qu Qingzhu made the decision decisively, his tone as firm as iron.

"Yes!" Du Zhong said loudly, his voice full of anticipation and excitement.

Qu Qingdai was completely unaware of her brother's efforts to develop her career. She slept soundly until dawn. Without Su Jingmo by her side, she always woke up very early. She washed herself leisurely, then slowly made her way to the restaurant to enjoy the breakfast prepared by the production team.

"Qingdai, you're here so early!" Chaoyan came to the restaurant not long after Qu Qingdai sat down. He greeted Qu Qingdai warmly with a smile on his face.

"Good morning, I got up as soon as I woke up. You should come and have breakfast too. I think the breakfast prepared by the program crew is pretty good." Qu Qingdai responded with a smile, her tone very gentle. In this life, she has greatly changed her views on many people and is willing to get along with them in a friendly manner.

"I'll go see if Bai Ren is awake. You eat first." Chao Yan picked up an apple and turned to walk towards Bai Ren's room.

Qu Qingdai shook her head helplessly and continued to eat quietly.

Not long after, Tan Changqing, Jiang Baizhi, Lin Zhirou, Ling Quan, and others also arrived at the restaurant one after another. A little later, Bai Ren was also dragged over by Chao Yan.

After they greeted each other, they sat down quietly to enjoy breakfast together.

At this time, Ling Quan suddenly said, "Oh right, I looked up some online guides about Izumo Valley last night, and I think it's quite difficult. If we add in the obstacles set up by the production team, it will probably take a long time."

"Well, I also looked up some information. It is indeed quite difficult. Many places can only be passed one by one." Tan Changqing also said.

"Yes, we'll just line up when the time comes." Ling Quan continued.

"Sure, I don't mind." Bai Ren responded casually.

"OK, then let's divide into groups. Whoever goes first will be the last to leave." Ling Quan said seriously, with a barely perceptible smile of success in his eyes.

"I've studied it carefully. I'll go first. Tan Changqing, you've also studied the strategy, so you'll be responsible for covering our retreat." Ling Quan took the lead in making arrangements.

"Sure, no problem." Tan Changqing responded without hesitation.

"Then after me, it's Jiang Baizhi, Qu Qingdai, Chao Yan, Bai Ren, and Lin Zhirou. Is it okay to follow this order?" Ling Quan continued to arrange things in an orderly manner.

"Okay, I'm fine." Qu Qingdai raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and a barely noticeable smile quietly emerged. She thought to herself, it's indeed the same order as in the previous life.

"Okay, we all agree." The others also expressed their agreement, their voices full of approval of this arrangement.

"Then it's settled. Everyone, hurry up and eat, and then quickly pack up the things you need. We will set off on time at 9 o'clock. The live broadcast will also start at that time, so we all need to be fully prepared!" Ling Quan said solemnly.

"Okay." Everyone responded, with determination in their voices.

"Okay." These two words were short and powerful.

"No problem!" These three words are full of confidence and determination.

Everyone then sped up their eating pace and began to pack up the items they needed to bring in an orderly manner, making final preparations for the upcoming trip.

Time slipped away like the sand in an hourglass. In the blink of an eye, it was nine o'clock. The guests were all suited up and ready to go, gathering at the entrance of Izumo Valley. By this moment, the livestream audience was also eager to begin their variety show journey and witness this challenging and exciting adventure together.
