The Emperor of Meiqiang and the Shadow has grown a pair of bunny ears

Zhou Qingxian is a liar.

He said some high-sounding reasons and covered them up with convoluted excuses. In the final analysis, he was just afraid of facing Qi Jiu.

In the past three years since he went abroad, the number of exchanges between him and Qi Jiu has decreased exponentially.

Except for the fact that there were some topics in the first year, Zhou Qingxian almost never took the initiative to find Qi Jiu in the rest of the time.

He is different from Yan Shiqing, he will not squeeze out time to spend on Qi Jiu, and he will forget to return too much news.

Their ambitions are different, and their return paths are also different. When the people around them are also different, there will be less and less content to talk about.

It's not that he hasn't thought about making a phone call with Qi Jiu, but when he talks about something, he always talks about it one after another, and he has to spend time explaining the reason before entering a topic.

Zhou Qing felt tired first, and didn't like to spend too much energy explaining the cause and effect.

Every time he wanted to speak, but when he opened the address book, he stayed on Qi Jiu's name for at most two seconds, and then slid away silently.

Unknowingly, the chat interface between him and Qi Jiu has stopped at the fixed birthday greetings.

Zhou Qing first knew how reckless and impulsive his decision was this time. In the best case, it should take another three to five years. When he takes charge of Yunzhao Entertainment and disintegrates from the inside, the road will be much easier than it is now.

But he couldn't wait, he couldn't suppress the desire to roll in his chest.

Since the last time he returned to China and saw Lin Beisheng, Zhou Qing knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

And even if Qi Jiu knew about their hasty decision in advance, there was a high probability that he would not interfere with anything.

He should be the same as before, hiding his inner thoughts, gathering disapproval and frustration in the corners of his eyes, and then squinting his eyes, swallowing all dissent.

Thousands of words were finally handed to the mouth, leaving only one sentence to cheer up.

This is where Qi Jiu is both the gentlest and the cruelest.

He is not good at making decisions, he has a gentle and considerate temperament, and he will unconditionally deal with other people's impulsiveness.

No matter what the result is, he will only support it with a smile, causing people with a little bit of moral sympathy to easily feel condemned by conscience.

Zhou Qing was a little scared to face Qi Jiu like this.

I don't want to experience Qi Jiu's eyes either.

He was on the cusp of the storm and invited Yan Shiqing to join in a big gamble. He didn't know how long it would take to make it out, let alone whether there would be a result.

Informing Qi Jiu would not affect his decision, but it would make Zhou Qing feel uncomfortable first.

This kind of discomfort is reflected in the tightness in his chest, which stems from the fact that he is not cruel enough to be indifferent when facing Qi Jiu, and he is not gentle enough to make a good start and end with Qi Jiu.

So in the end, he chose to delay Qi Jiu to avoid Qi Jiu. Since he couldn't sharpen a sharp knife, he had no choice but to——

"Cut first and play later." Zhou Qing leaned back in the chair first, "I don't plan to see him in the near future, but if you want to say it, you don't plan to tell him in advance, but if you want to say it, it's your freedom."

Yan Shiqing raised his eyes and glanced at him without expressing his opinion.

In fact, he can't get much commonality from Zhou Qingxian's logic.

Most of the time, he makes decisions by himself, has no one to discuss with, and rarely considers other people's ideas.

Yan Shiqing has made almost all decisions by himself since he grew up, and there is no one he can trust to discuss.

He didn't even know whether Zhou Qingxian's actions were radical, so he had to repeat what Zhou Qingxian said over and over again in his mind, slowly deliberating every word.

At the same time, Yan Shiqing opened the contract given by Zhou Qingxian and found that the content was surprisingly complete.

The proposal, planning, risk assessment, profit distribution, etc. have all been done in detail, and even the lease contract of the workplace has been taken down.

Yan Shiqing: "Is this also cutting first and playing later?"

"Your name is already included in the pre-approved name of the studio." Zhou Qingxian smiled complacently, "I'm really preparing seriously."

Yan Shiqing was quite unhappy: "How did you know that I would agree?"

Zhou Qingxian didn't have the slightest intention of introspection, sitting cross-legged on the futon with his hands on the floor, he said lazily: "Because I have eyeliner, and I am very familiar with you."

Yan Shiqing's brows tightened, his eyes became sharp instantly, and he stared at him like a falcon.

"Don't look at me like that." Zhou Qingxian's phone rang a few times, picked it up and glanced at it, then handed it to Yan Shiqing with a smile, "It's harmless to you, most of the time you can just give me a little scrap."

The mobile phone is hung with a WeChat chat interface with someone, and the avatar is a bird, and the other party sends messages very frequently, without any details.

-Looked for a publicist, and I'm buying the trending search for Yan Lun's new year file.

-I just glanced at Sister Pan's screen, and it seems that the youngest member of the boy group recently texted her on WeChat.

-Another artist assistant Pan brought was about to resign, and it seemed that the man chatted with her every now and then.

Yan Shiqing didn't like to look at these smoky things, so he didn't look back after he glanced at them.

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows jokingly and said, "Didn't I buy you a hot search after get off work? The video is so close, you wouldn't think it was a coincidence."

Yan Shiqing hasn't read the hot search yet, but after hearing what he said, he probably knows it in his heart.

Zhou Qingxian: "I know how badly profit-oriented Yunzhao Entertainment has squeezed you. You probably have been dissatisfied with them for a long time."

"And I also know that the last time Qi Jiu came to look for you, when he was discovered, he had to find an [-]th-line star to cover up. You and Pan E almost quarreled about these things."

He raised his head as if asking for credit: "It's amazing, it's all my little eyeliner told me."

"You probably only remember her face, but don't know her name. This is your assistant—"

"Guan Ju." Yan Shiqing interrupted, "I know."

Zhou Qingxian immediately turned into a deflated look, and gave him a complaining look.

Personnel turnover in positions like assistants is very fast. In the past three years, Yan Shiqing has hundreds of assistants, not including intern assistants. Although Guan Ju has had contact with Yan Shiqing, he is often transferred to other places to do odd jobs. relatively close.

Zhou Qing never thought that this busy man would take the time to memorize the assistant's name, let alone that he guessed it right.

He still looked calm and unhurried, and he didn't drop the last bomb until he replied to Guan Ju's WeChat:

"And I heard that you remit money three times a quarter. I took the time to find someone to check the account. One is Liu He and the other is Qi Yan."

"I checked the other one. It's a name I don't know. It's called Xiao Mu." His voice softened.

Yan Shiqing was not nervous: "Have you seen her?"

"I vaguely remember meeting them before, but I don't plan to meet them now." Zhou Qing said honestly, "But I believe that there must be someone who wants to pick up on your relationship."

"You actually hid it pretty well. Did you ask a publicist to help? But this little trick, I guess Yunzhao Entertainment can expose it with a little more effort."

His smile became sly, and there was a bit of schadenfreude in his words: "Look, do you also want to hide something from Qi Jiu?"

This was different from Zhou Qingxian's concept, but Yan Shiqing didn't intend to explain it.

He wasn't very surprised, it was better to say that he was prepared for such a day, and he was incredibly calm.

There was an osmanthus tree growing in the courtyard, but it was not dug up by the developer. The old tree that had grown for 40 to [-] years was generally not easy to break the ground, so it was left in the southeast corner of Qi Jiu's courtyard.

In late autumn, it rained for several consecutive days, and the ground was golden yellow, and the house was filled with the fragrance of flowers, but it was a pity that Yan Shiqing didn't smell it.

Qi Jiu swept up the fallen osmanthus flowers, washed them, dried them, and found a ceramic jar to store them in, leaving the smell of the flowers to Yan Shiqing.

Now Zhou Qing is playing with the white porcelain pot in his hand, waiting for Yan Shiqing to see every item of the contract clearly.

"You mention Xiao Mu, do you want to threaten me?" Yan Shiqing didn't speak until he finished reading the last page.

"Of course not." Zhou Qing quickly retorted, "How can she be so capable? You and I both know that the only one who can threaten you is Qi Jiu."

Yan Shiqing raised his eyelids and passed him casually, but didn't speak.

Zhou Qing first thought his reaction was interesting, but let's not tease him for the time being: "I mentioned her just to explain to you that I am willing to take the risk to be on the same front as you, and I am not pulling you into a boat of robbers."

Zhou Qingxian: "I will also tell you frankly that the risk of opening a studio with me far outweighs the benefits. In terms of resources, my father will definitely suppress it, but the channels will increase."

Zhou Qing went out for three years first, and the most useful thing he got was contacts.

Yun Zhao's arms were stretched out, but he couldn't stop him from going abroad. Mr. Zhou sent his son abroad with his own hands, but he didn't expect that he would reap the consequences of himself.

Yan Shiqing changed the subject, "How would you threaten me with Qi Jiu?"

"It's not a threat." Zhou Qing tilted his head first, and replied cooperatively, "It's a temptation to you."

"Ms. Pan is a little bit extreme. I know how she manages artists, especially those who speculate on singles like you. She knows that when you are in love, she will definitely break you clean, otherwise when something happens, she will kneel down and beg her." I won't help you, unless I make a big blackmail from you."

"She is a roundworm in your stomach, and lives on your body." Zhou Qing raised his lips first, "But I am different. I want to unite with you."

"But if it were me, I would cooperate with you to help you hide Qi Jiu, or slowly lay the line, and gradually set up someone you love and focus on. In the end, both you and your Qi Jiu will have a good result."

He told Yan Shiqing: "You are full of shackles, but I can provide you with relative freedom."

If you count, Yan Shiqing's weakness should only be Xiao Mu and Qi Jiu, and Xiao Mu is the shackles involving his ankles.

As for Qi Jiu, it was Yan Shiqing who took the initiative to stretch his neck, holding the opponent's hands to put him in shackles.

He has no way to break with the past, he is a gray existence, extreme, selfish, and sensitive.

Yan Shiqing was not a sinner, but he was burdened with crimes all the time.

In the rainy day five years ago, Yan Shiqing didn't make the right choice, so he had to bring the ferocious mud to point his way to the end.

Yan Shiqing really wanted to be independent, wanted to open his own studio, and really wanted to control his own destiny.

But what if during this process, Yunzhao Entertainment wants to make Zhou Qing obediently submit by banning Yan Shiqing to make an example, it is an extremely easy thing.

Obviously Qi Jiu told him not to worry yesterday, but Yan Shiqing just couldn't slow down.

The sword of Damocles was hanging above his head, and Yan Shiqing was almost about to run towards his target.

Then simply let the disconnection with Yunzhao Entertainment become the fuse, advance the revenge plan in hand, and achieve his goal as soon as possible within the limited time.

Yan Shiqing's eyes fell on the jar of sweet-scented osmanthus, thinking——

Even if he ended up with notoriety, bruises all over his body, and a win-win result, he should still be able to drink a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus wine when he returns home.

He half closed his eyes and decided to accept Zhou Qingxian's proposal of mutual benefit and symbiosis.

"I'll go over the contract with a lawyer," he said. "See you on Monday."
