Chapter 1507: Xiao Churan

That evening, after Chen Duoduo finished checking all the hardware equipment at the performance site, she returned to the hotel after confirming there were no problems.

As soon as she arrived in the room, she immediately sent a video call to Gu Qiuyi.

The call connected, and Gu Qiuyi was resting in her boudoir wearing pajamas and a facial mask.

She asked Chen Duoduo immediately, "Duoduo, is everything done at the venue?"

Chen Duoduo nodded, "Everything is done. You can start rehearsing directly when you arrive tomorrow."

"That's good!" Gu Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously, "I've held so many concerts, but I've never been as nervous as I am now. There must not be any mistakes in this concert."

Chen Duoduo remembered Su Zhifei's matter and said, "By the way, Qiuyi, there is something I need to report to you."

"Go ahead."

Chen Duoduo said, "It's like this, that Su Zhifei privately bribed the people from the execution company and replaced all the lighting and sound equipment for the concert."

"What?!" Gu Qiuyi asked angrily, "By what right did that Su Zhifei do this? What right does he have? Contact someone immediately, no matter what method you use, you must change the equipment back for me before the performance!"

Chen Duoduo hurriedly comforted her, "Qiuyi, don't worry first. The situation with the equipment is like this: although the whole set was replaced, it wasn't downgraded, nor was it maliciously damaged. On the contrary, he personally paid to rent the best stage equipment currently available from the United States."

As she spoke, Chen Duoduo's tone was already a bit excited, and she said excitedly, "Our lighting and sound engineers have already debugged the equipment today, and the effect is indeed very, very great! To be honest, I have never seen such a high-configuration concert. Even Michael Jackson's concerts during his lifetime could not reach this height in terms of hardware. The stage effect will be particularly explosive!"

Gu Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart.

She said unhappily, "This Su Zhifei is overstepping his bounds. This is a concert I held for Brother Ye Chen; he doesn't need to show off at all!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly added, "By the way, Duoduo, have someone calculate for me how much it would cost him to rent this equipment. After the concert, I will return the money to him without missing a cent!"

Chen Duoduo said, "Why bother, Qiuyi? Su Zhifei is willing to go out of his way to do this, so let him do it. Why do we need to give him the money?"

"That's different!" Gu Qiuyi said, "This concert is prepared for Brother Ye Chen. If he needs to spend money to upgrade the equipment, then in my mind, this concert is not pure enough, and can even be said to be a failure, a stain! I don't want to leave such a big regret for myself just to take advantage of him. Besides, it's not like I don't have money. Even if he spent 100 million to upgrade the equipment, I can afford it."

"That's not necessary." Chen Duoduo said, "I heard from the sound engineer that it should cost about 20 million more."

Gu Qiuyi immediately said, "Then give him 30 million after the concert!"

Chen Duoduo said, "I'll give it to him this time, but you still have to think about what we should do if he does this again next time? After all, you have quite a few shows for this concert."

"It's okay." Gu Qiuyi said confidently, "Don't worry, after this concert, he definitely won't pester me again."

Chen Duoduo nodded thoughtfully, "That's true... Once you reveal the surprise for Ye Chen at the concert, Su Zhifei will definitely not pester you anymore."

Speaking of this, Chen Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I will arrange for the finance department to prepare a check for 30 million, and I will give it to him as soon as the performance ends."

"Good, then you can give it to him. I don't really want to deal with him."

"Okay." Chen Duoduo nodded and then added, "Oh, by the way, Qiuyi, when are you coming tomorrow?"

Gu Qiuyi said, "I should take off around 8:00 in the morning and land around 9:50. However, I have already agreed with Brother Ye Chen that he will pick me up at the airport, so you don't have to worry about me."

Chen Duoduo said, "Su Zhifei has been asking me when you are coming today. I suspect that given his style of doing things, he will likely find a way to pick you up at the airport. You need to pay attention in advance."

Gu Qiuyi said depressedly, "He wouldn't be that bored, would he?"

Chen Duoduo curled her lips, "He even ran to the airport to pick up our staff, let alone you? I guess he has long been paying attention to the inbound information of Jin Ling Airport. It's possible that your plane hasn't even taken off, and he has already seen the flight application information."

Gu Qiuyi pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's do this. Tomorrow, I will first use my family's plane to apply for a flight permit taking off at 11:00 in the morning as a smoke bomb. You also tell the on-site staff that I won't arrive until 1:00 in the afternoon and will go directly to the venue for rehearsal after arriving, so that Su Zhifei will believe it. Then I will rent a business jet and fly over quietly at 8:00 in the morning."

Chen Duoduo hurriedly said, "Why go to so much trouble? Just let your Brother Ye Chen pick you up. When Su Zhifei sees him, he will know that you already have a sweetheart, and maybe he will retreat in the face of difficulties."

"How can that work?" Gu Qiuyi blurted out, "Brother Ye Chen is still married. If others find out about me and him, it won't be good for him if it gets out."

Chen Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "Okay... Then I will tell everyone later that you will arrive at 1:00 in the afternoon, hoping to deceive Su Zhifei."

The next day.

Ye Chen and Xiao Churan got up early, and mother-in-law Ma Lan had already prepared breakfast.

While washing up, Ye Chen received a WeChat message from Gu Qiuyi, saying, "Brother Ye Chen, I can arrive at Jin Ling Airport at 9:50 and walk out of the airport gate at 10:00 sharp. Is your time okay?"

Ye Chen immediately replied that it was no problem.

Then Gu Qiuyi sent another message, writing, "See you then."

While eating, Ye Chen took another look at the time. Xiao Churan would leave at 8:00 as usual. He would drive her to the Dihao Group hotel construction site and then head to the airport. There would definitely be enough time.

Xiao Churan said to Ye Chen while eating, "By the way, husband, from today on, you don't have to be so tired to pick me up every day. I see that there haven't been any weird murder cases in Jin Ling these past few days, so it should be fine."

Before Ye Chen could speak, Ma Lan hurriedly said, "Oh, Churan, you can't be careless about this kind of thing. Maybe the murderer is hiding temporarily. You should still be careful. Mom only has you as a daughter, so you must not have any mistakes!"

Since moving into Tang Chen Yi Pin, Ma Lan basically recognized a reality: her future life must rely on her daughter and son-in-law.

The daughter goes without saying, gentle, kind, and filial to her parents. Although the son-in-law is also impeccable, he is an outsider after all.

Therefore, she was concerned about her daughter on one hand, and worried on the other that if something happened to her daughter, Ye Chen would turn his face and ignore her mother-in-law.

In other words, Xiao Churan was her guarantee for enjoying a good life.

Although Ye Chen knew that Xuan Fengnian, the senior brother of Yu Jinghai, was already dead, and there would be no more such weird murder cases in Jin Ling in the future, in order to reassure his wife and parents-in-law, he still took the initiative to say, "Churan, let's be cautious during this period and not take it lightly. So, I'll still send you to the construction site in a while."

Xiao Churan smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble you to send me to the old city area in a while. I'm not going to Dihao Group this morning."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Why are you going to the old city area early in the morning?"

Xiao Churan smiled, "Isn't the design work for Dihao Group already completed and construction started? So now the company is also taking other design orders. My employees took a new client in the old city area a few days ago to renovate an old house. I did the design plan, so I have to go there personally to communicate with the owner." ===== CHAPTER 1508 =====
