After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

After the variety show, Qu Qingdai was in her studio, concentrating on preparing for her upcoming exhibition. Su Jingmo was also busy preparing for his upcoming job handover in Beijing. Both of them were working hard in their own lives.

At this moment, Qu Qingdai was holding a paintbrush, concentrating on painting her last painting. Suddenly, a series of rapid WeChat notification sounds came from her phone: "Ding Ding... Ding Ding..." Qu Qingdai put down her paintbrush and picked up her phone. It turned out to be a message from Qin Yunie.

Little Feather: Dai Dai, when are you coming to Beijing? I'll make time to hang out with you then! I've missed you so much after not seeing you for a few days!

Qu Qingdai smiled slightly. She was also a little puzzled as to why Qin Yunie had such a good relationship with her and was so close to her, but she didn't mind having another good sister.

[D: It's coming soon. I'll be there as soon as I finish my work here. I'll contact you then.]

【Little Feather: Okay, I’ll wait for you! 】

After putting down her phone, Qu Qingdai devoted herself to painting again.

Meanwhile, Qin Yunie, who was far away in Beijing, smiled brightly after receiving Qu Qingdai's message. She carefully put on some makeup and drove to the newly emerged bar in Beijing - "Nightfall".

Qin Yunie came to the bar, sat elegantly in the booth, and asked the bartender: "Is your boss here today?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Qin, the boss is out for something and won't be here for a while." The bartender replied apologetically.

"Oh, then do you know when I'll be back?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Qin, we employees don't know much about this either. You can ask the second and third bosses; they're in the exclusive private room on the third floor."

"Really... Then I'll go ask!" Qin Yunie said as he stood up and walked towards the exclusive box on the third floor.

In the exclusive box, Du Zhong and Gu Senyu were complaining about Qu Qingzhu one after another.

"Qu Qingzhu is really too much! He went to Hai City to attend Sister Qu's painting exhibition without even calling me!" Du Zhong said indignantly.

"That's right! You've already met Sister Qu in person, but I haven't. I was planning to participate in Sister Qu's last variety show, but that guy Qin Yunie snatched my spot away. Now that the art exhibition is such a big deal, he should have asked me to go with him!" Gu Senyu also complained, "He threw the bar to me, an actor with a packed schedule, to manage. It's really too much! You're obviously the one with the least free time, so he should just throw it to you!"

"Oh, oh, oh, you are being a bit Versailles! You make me feel like I have a lot of free time!" Du Zhong said dissatisfiedly.

"Isn't it? Besides the bar, what else needs you to do now? The little prince of the bar?" Gu Senyu teased with a smile.

"Hmph! I don't want to bother with you. I'm going to secretly go to see Sister Qu's art exhibition. I'll leave the bar to you!" Du Zhong said angrily.

"Impossible! I will never agree to this..." Before Gu Senyu could finish his words, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open. He couldn't help but look towards the door and said, "Who is it?"

"Long time no see, both of you!" Qin Yunie walked into the box with a bright smile on her face, waving and greeting them.

"Oh! It's our actress Qin who hasn't appeared for a long time! Are you here to look for Qingzhu? He has already gone back to Hai City." Gu Senyu leaned on the sofa and said with a smile.

"I know, that's why I came to find you!" Qin Yunie responded with a smile.

"Looking for us? What's the matter? By the way, Yunie, when did you come back? I watched the live broadcast and found that you and Sister Qu have a very good relationship!" Du Zhong stood up from the sofa and said with a curious look on his face.

"I just came to ask you, when will Qu Qingzhu come back? Why did he go to Hai City? Dai Dai seems to be coming to Jing City soon, so why should he go now? Tell me, is he deliberately avoiding me? Does he dislike me so much?" Qin Yunie said, folding his hands on his chest, frowning slightly, with a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes.

"Alas..." Du Zhong sighed deeply and complained mercilessly, "It's not that he hates you, it's just... I'm not saying this, why do you like that piece of wood called Qingzhu? Besides being a little handsome and smart, what else is there to like about him?"

"Anyway, I'm better than you! Du Zhong, if you dare to say anything nonsense again, believe it or not, I will beat you up." Qin Yunie clenched his fists, raised his chin slightly, and said with a threatening look in his eyes.

"Hmph, I don't want to bother with you, a love-brained person! Stay single to save your life! If you don't listen to good advice, you will suffer!" After saying this, Du Zhong picked up the wine glass in front of him with a look of disdain and took a big gulp of wine.

"Senyu, Qingzhu and..." Qin Yunie turned to look at Gu Senyu, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not avoiding you. Sister Qu has an art exhibition coming up in Hai City soon, and as her brother, he naturally wants to go and show his support. So, when we go to Hai City, I'll probably come back with Sister Qu." Gu Senyu explained patiently, "But, Yunie, it's not easy to impress Qingzhu, a piece of wood. You have to work hard!"

"So that's how it is. That's okay then. Don't worry, wait for Dai Dai to come and let her help! She and I are already good sisters now!" Qin Yunie said with a bright smile on her face after hearing the satisfactory answer.

"What Sister Qu will think at that time is: I treat you as a sister, but you want to be my sister-in-law!" Du Zhong interrupted.

"Go away, isn't sister-in-law nice? When a good sister becomes a sister-in-law, the relationship will be even better!" Qin Yunie said with her chin raised.

"Hahahaha, then come on Yunie, since you're here, have a drink before leaving!" Gu Senyu said with a smile.

"Okay!" Qin Yunie agreed readily, and then joined Du Zhong and Gu Senyu. They raised their glasses together, drank and chatted.

At this time, Qu Qingdai was concentrating on painting. She had no idea that her brother Qu Qingzhu would suddenly come back to give her a surprise, and she had no idea that her new sister Qin Yunie came to be her sister-in-law.

"Knock, knock, knock... knock, knock..." A crisp and rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Qu Qingdai's thoughts. She put down her paintbrush, stood up and walked towards the door.

"What's wrong?" Qu Qingdai asked puzzledly as she opened the door.

"Madam, it's late, it's time for dinner." The maid standing at the door bowed slightly and said softly.

Qu Qingdai stopped what she was doing, slowly raised her head, and looked out the window. Night had already quietly fallen, and the scenery outside the window had become blurry. She turned to look at the maid and asked, "Is the master back?"

"Madam, not yet. My husband just called and said he will be back late today because he has an important meeting to attend. He asked you to eat first and not wait for him." The maid replied respectfully.

"Is that so..." Qu Qingdai tilted her head slightly, a playful look on her face. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Go prepare two dinners for me. I'm going to take dinner to your husband!"

"But ma'am, it's so late. If you go out, your husband will blame you..."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it if the sky falls. Go and get ready."

"Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment."

About an hour later, Qu Qingdai drove slowly to the parking lot of Su Jingmo's company. After parking the car, she picked up the carefully prepared dinner lunch box, stepped out of the car gracefully, and walked towards the company's gate with light steps.

I don't know if it was because her stunning beauty was so outstanding that it confused the guards at the door, or because the security guards saw that she was dressed extraordinary and determined that she must be an important customer, so they didn't stop her.

Entering the company lobby, I saw the spacious space, the crystal floor gleaming brightly. A crowd of people dressed in bright and beautiful clothes were busy and orderly working. Qu Qingdai walked to the front desk, smiling and speaking politely, "Hello, Miss, which floor is your president on?"

The busy receptionist suddenly heard a beautiful female voice. She wondered if it was another ignorant woman trying to seduce the CEO. However, when she looked up, she saw a woman in a white dress standing before her, smiling gently and with a charming demeanor.

At that moment, the receptionist felt as if her heart had stopped beating for a few seconds. She looked closely. Whoa, whoa, whoa, isn't this Qu Qingdai, the female guest on the recent hit variety show? Why was she here looking for the CEO? Even more surprising, Qu Qingdai was holding something in her hand. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was something called an "insulated box."

The receptionist was filled with doubt. Was Qu Qingdai planning to win the CEO's heart with food? It seemed right. There's a saying that goes, "To capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach." Besides, the CEO was so handsome, it wasn't surprising that Qu Qingdai liked him.

Qu Qingdai looked at the lady in front of her, her eyes constantly changing. She smiled, wondering where the receptionist's thoughts had drifted to. So, she kept smiling and patiently asked again, "Excuse me, which floor is your president on?"

"Oh... I'm sorry, Miss Qu." The receptionist came to her senses and said a little embarrassedly, "Because you don't have an appointment, I have to ask what the above means first. Please go sit over there for a while." As she spoke, she pointed to the chair next to her and explained apologetically. Then, she picked up the phone and started to call upstairs.

Qu Qingdai smiled faintly, nodded gently, and then, with graceful steps, slowly walked to a nearby chair and sat down. She began to carefully survey the entire hall and the people busily working. She noticed that the receptionist's eyes didn't harbor any hint of bullying or inappropriateness; instead, she seemed very tactful. Qu Qingdai thought to herself, "As expected of Ah Mo's subordinate, she's truly quite good."

"Hey—are you crazy? Didn't Secretary Zhang clearly order that those girls not be allowed in? How dare you call them? Don't you want to quit?" The other receptionist standing nearby lowered her voice and shouted anxiously. She and the receptionist were good friends, and she didn't want her to lose her job because of her momentary kindness.

"Of course not, but I have already promised her. And you have to know that Miss Qu is different from those women who only want to climb up the social ladder. Look at how well she performs in the variety show! If she really wanted to climb up the social ladder, she would have returned to the Jiang family long ago. All the guests in the variety show are from wealthy families. She could have relied on them to get to the top, but she didn't do that!" The receptionist explained to her friend while dialing the phone.

"How do you know he's different? Our president is different from others! You are just too naive. Never mind. I don't care about you anymore." Another receptionist shook her head helplessly, saying with a disappointed look on her face.

Qu Qingdai, who was sitting far away, heard the two of them talking in low voices and smiled faintly in her heart. It was actually an obvious fact to know who was more shrewd.

In the spacious conference room, the group's elites were solemnly reporting to Su Jingmo on the various operations of the past week. Although everyone seemed a little nervous, they had indeed made great progress compared to a week ago.

Today's meeting has lasted for nearly an hour and a half. After all the senior cadres finished reporting on their respective work, the entire conference room was unusually quiet. Apart from the sound of Su Jingmo's hand tapping rhythmically on the table, one could almost hear each other's breathing clearly.

Everyone waited quietly for Su Jingmo's verdict. Time seemed to freeze, ticking away. Cold sweat streamed down the foreheads of the senior executives, who wondered if their performance wasn't good enough, causing the president to be so angry that they didn't even want to talk.

"Beep...beep..." A sudden ringing of a cell phone broke the eerie silence. Everyone looked in the direction of the ringing.

Zhang Na, the secretary sitting next to Su Jingmo, had an uneasy look on her face. She glanced nervously in his direction. Su Jingmo's brow furrowed slightly, and she knew he must be displeased. In the conference room, everyone who entered would consciously turn off their phones to prevent a sudden call during the meeting. The president hated being interrupted by anything.

Zhang Na stood up gently, trembling with fear, and quickly walked out of the meeting room. She was filled with regret, blaming herself for forgetting to turn off her phone while preparing materials for the meeting, which had caused the CEO's displeasure. At this moment, she only hoped that the other party had something extremely important to tell her. A flash of coldness flashed in her eyes. She knew that the only people who knew her phone number were people within the company. Everyone in the company knew that the top management was in a meeting right now, and yet they were so reckless as to call her. It was clear that they wanted to embarrass her.

Zhang Na quickly walked out the door and finally let out a long breath. She hung up the phone with an unhappy look on her face and said unhappily, "Hello, what's going on?"

"Secretary Zhang, there's a woman downstairs who wants to see the president." The receptionist on the other end of the phone heard Zhang Na's unhappy voice, and suddenly remembered that Secretary Zhang should be in a meeting at this time. But things had come to this point, and the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. She just called the secretary's office, but no one answered. She thought the secretary went to the bathroom, so she directly dialed Zhang Na's mobile number. Now it seems that she has offended Secretary Zhang.

"Woman?! The president is in a meeting, and I have already told you not to let any unimportant people in, especially women! Do you have no ears? Or do you think this job is too easy?" When Zhang Na heard that another woman wanted to harass the president, she suddenly felt angry.

Zhang Na was furious and hung up the phone in a rage. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and turned to the bathroom. She didn't want the CEO to see her face so distorted and miserable. She had to fix her appearance and make herself look more presentable and dignified. As she walked, she mentally warned herself that she must not let this poor state affect her image in front of the CEO.
