Chapter 722

~7 min read 1,252 words

Da Mimi and Sister Reba were both at their wits' end, their sleep quality utterly impossible to guarantee,

so that both now sported messy hair and dark circles under their eyes, looking just like pandas that had just run out of the mountains.

Although,

Da Mimi and Sister Reba were both naturally beautiful with strong foundations,

even the strongest foundation cannot hide dark circles under the eyes,

only concealer can,

so to present their best state at noon,

Da Mimi could only have the makeup artists spring into action immediately to create the best look for herself and Sister Reba.

At this moment,

both sat on chairs facing the floor-to-ceiling makeup mirror before them,

the four makeup artists split into two, busily working beside each of them respectively,

Sister Reba suddenly remembered a question at that moment, then looked at Da Mimi and asked, "Sister Mi, what are we doing at noon? Do we go out to eat after finishing business with Qin Zong, or order takeout and eat at the company first?"

Da Mimi considered for a moment, then said, "At the company then; every bit saved counts. Hmm, let's choose that three-Michelin-star restaurant; it counts as high-end, and the price is quite reasonable. Sister Reba, aren't you a member of that restaurant? Call and ask."

"Okay."

Sister Reba responded, then dialed Lao Rongji's number,

and at that moment, Jiang Lai was on the other end of the line, covering the shift,

picked up the phone,

and Jiang Lai said with great proficiency, "Hello, this is Lao Rongji Restaurant; how may I help you?"

"Hello, I want to place an order."

Sister Reba spoke directly, "My membership card number is 000123. I'd like to order a table of Chinese lunch to be delivered to my company around 12 noon; is that possible?"

"Please wait a moment."

Jiang Lai responded, checked the membership card number in the computer,

and then discovered somewhat surprisingly that the holder of this membership card was actually the celebrity Sister Reba.

Although Jiang Lai never chased stars and didn't like attending concerts,

Jiang Lai quite liked Sister Reba; Jiang Lai had watched several TV dramas starring Sister Reba,

however, Jiang Lai's current identity was restaurant manager,

so,

she did not show excessive surprise, but said with a smile, "Hello, Ms. Sister Reba, your membership card number has been confirmed; we can provide door-to-door delivery service. Do you have any special requests for the lunch?"

"Not really." Sister Reba shook her head, "However, for the noon meal, we hope everything you send over will be fresh and steaming hot, because we are hosting a guest at noon."

Hearing this, Jiang Lai nodded and said, "Okay, Ms. Sister Reba, please rest assured; we can guarantee the freshness of the dishes. If you and your guest are not satisfied, we will not charge any fees."

"Hmm, okay, thank you then."

Sister Reba hung up the phone, then looked at Da Mimi, "Sister Mi, the meal is booked."

"Hmm, good."

Da Mimi nodded, looking at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror being covered bit by bit, then looked at the makeup artist and said, "Sister Li, change my makeup today; not that Duanzhuang style; make me look like Bai Qian."

"Oh, and Sister Reba, make Sister Reba look like Little Nine; yes, we both want ancient costume looks."

"With my Bai Qian and Sister Reba's Little Nine, our Qin Zong will surely be unable to help but prostrate himself at our feet..."

"Hu Yifei, are you really leaving?"

The three returned to the small rented house of Qin Yumo,

Chen Meijia reached out to block Hu Yifei's phone screen and said with teary eyes, "Hu Yifei, I beg you, stay with me for two more days; just stay with me two more more days, okay?"

"No."

Hu Yifei shook her head decisively, "Chen Meijia, you saw it yourself; this bed is so small, I don't even have a place to sleep."

"Who said there isn't?"

Qin Yumo chuckled, "Hu Yifei, I can go sleep at my boss's house; you can too!"

"Get lost."

Hu Yifei rolled her eyes wordlessly, "Is that what you call sleeping? You're going to sleep with your boss! And you still want to drag me along? No way!"

"Sleep with the boss?"

Hearing this, Chen Meijia blinked, then looked at Qin Yumo curiously and asked, "Qin Yumo, do you get paid after sleeping with the boss?"

"Chen Meijia!"

Hu Yifei, utterly speechless, pinched Chen Meijia's ear, "Chen Meijia, listen clearly to me: from today on, you must turn over a new leaf and be a proper person; do you hear me?!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Chen Meijia rubbed her ear, which was almost torn off, and looked at Hu Yifei helplessly, "I know, I know; I was just saying it casually."

"Good that you know."

Hu Yifei checked the recent flight tickets, then became speechless, "What's going on? How come there are suddenly no tickets? Weren't there some just now?"

Hearing this, Qin Yumo and Chen Meijia snickered together,

Hu Yifei, seeing she couldn't buy flight tickets,

then directly searched for high-speed rail, "If I can't fly, I'll take the high-speed rail back; anyway, I'm leaving today."

"Hu Yifei—"

Seeing this, Chen Meijia directly hugged Hu Yifei's thigh and sat on the ground in a spoiled manner, "Hu Yifei, I beg you, just stay and keep us company for a few days; I just got out, and I have so many things to say to you, and we haven't seen Qin Yumo in a long time..."

"Yes, Hu Yifei."

Qin Yumo also urged, "Hu Yifei, if you leave now, you'll still worry about Chen Meijia's situation. Why not wait two days? If Chen Meijia gets the job, she can stay and work with me; if she doesn't, you can take her back with you."

"Otherwise, when I start filming again in a couple days, Chen Meijia will be left all alone—what if something happens again…"

Qin Yumo's words made Hu Yifei stop searching for train tickets.

She looked down at Chen Meijia.

Hu Yifei realized he was right.

Though she kept saying she wouldn't care,

if Chen Meijia ran into trouble again in the future, she'd still have to come back to the capital.

It would be better, as Qin Yumo suggested, to resolve Chen Meijia's situation once and for all—then she could return to Magu with much greater peace of mind.

So,

Hu Yifei finally sighed.

She accepted Qin Yumo's suggestion.

Immediately, Chen Meijia jumped up, ecstatically grabbing Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo's arms and insisting on treating them to dinner.

Hearing this, Hu Yifei and Qin Yumo turned to look at Chen Meijia together.

"Chen Meijia, do you even have money to treat us to dinner?"

"I do, I do!"

Chen Meijia nodded enthusiastically, then grinned foolishly at Hu Yifei: "Hu Yifei, if you lend me another ten thousand yuan, I'll have money—I can treat you both to dinner!"

Hearing this, Hu Yifei immediately pulled out her phone again to book a ticket.

Qin Yumo and Chen Meijia burst into laughter and reached out together to snatch Hu Yifei's phone…

…

As it neared eleven o'clock,

Qin Feng got up and went downstairs, then drove toward Zhongchuan Tower.

Meanwhile, at the Jiaxing Media headquarters,

Da Mimi had transformed into Bai Qian,

Sister Reba had transformed into Xiao Jiu,

the two fox spirits smiled seductively at the mirror, waiting for Qin Feng's arrival…

….
