Chapter 90

"What if you get drunk?"

Qin Mu asked curiously.

"I... I have a great tolerance for alcohol!"

Sure enough, Li Qin’s alcohol tolerance was very 'good'.

After just three glasses of red wine, her face was flushed and she was drowsy.

"And you call this having a good tolerance."

Qin Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He leaned slightly to the side, letting Li Qin sleep comfortably on his shoulder.

The drinking session continued.

Everyone ate and drank, quickly reaching a fever pitch.

"I can't do it anymore!"

Ou Hao swayed and collapsed onto the sofa in the private room with a thud.

Beside him, Du Jiang was also completely dizzy.

"Brother Qin, this really isn't just 'alright'!"

"You're simply a bottomless pit!"

Only Zhang Han and Liu Wei were still somewhat sober, but upon seeing Qin Mu, who looked as normal as ever with a smile on his face.

The two of them felt despair.

Damn!

How much have we even drunk!

Why do you still have no reaction at all!

"Teacher Liu, Brother Han."

"I think that's about enough."

Qin Mu said.

"Right! That's enough!"

"Yeah, as long as everyone is happy."

The two nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

We surrender! We surrender!

Watching them, Qin Mu shook his head with a bitter smile.

If he hadn't been holding back, no one here would have been able to walk out.

June 24th, Thursday.

At ten in the morning, Li Qin finally woke up slowly.

No choice, she drank 'too much' yesterday.

"With your alcohol tolerance, you shouldn't drink when you go out in the future."

Qin Mu teased.

He then took soy milk and fried dough sticks out of the kitchen and said: "Eat up, lining your stomach in the morning will make you feel better."

He had bought them after his morning run.

"Mmm."

"Brother Qin, you are so good to me."

Li Qin smiled, and the embarrassment of 'falling after three glasses last night' vanished.

"By the way, Lin Xue found some assistant resumes yesterday and will bring them over later, see if there's anyone suitable."

She muttered while drinking soy milk.

"Okay."

Qin Mu checked the time; it was still early.

The flight was at nine in the evening, from Kyoto to Cainan.

Cainan was the first stop for "A Bite of China".

Around twelve-thirty.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Sister Qin, open the door."

Lin Xue’s knocking came from outside.

Tap, tap, tap!

Li Qin stepped into her slippers and trotted over to pull the door open.

"Sister Qin, why did you lock the door?"

"Did you hide someone in the house..."

Lin Xue said with some dissatisfaction.

She had a key, and usually, Sister Qin wouldn't lock the door from the inside, so she would just open it and come in.

But today, it wouldn't open no matter what.

This made her imagination run wild, however...

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw a tall figure smiling at her.

"Cough, cough."

"Hello, Brother Qin."

Lin Xue was stunned, waving her hand foolishly in greeting.

Huh?

Brother Qin is at home?!

"Hello, Xiao Xue."

Qin Mu nodded and said: "I heard you organized the assistant resumes for me, thank you for your trouble."

"No... no problem."

Lin Xue hadn't fully reacted yet, foolishly handing over the folder in her hand: "There are ten suitable candidates inside, Brother Qin, you can take a look first."

"Thank you."

After taking the file, Qin Mu sat on the sofa and began to read it carefully.

Meanwhile, Lin Xue cast a suspicious look at Li Qin, moving her mouth and whispering: "Sister Qin, does Brother Qin live at home?"

"Yeah."

Li Qin waved her hand.

"Emmm."

"You should have told me in advance, if the paparazzi saw this, it would be big news!"

Lin Xue said helplessly.

"It's fine, let them take pictures if they want."

"An upright person doesn't fear a crooked shadow; Brother Qin and I haven't done anything, and besides, I'm single, so what could others possibly have to say?"

Li Qin said indifferently.

Besides, apart from a few good friends who knew the location, no one else knew about this apartment.

There were no paparazzi lurking around to take secret photos.

Lin Xue: "..."

It feels like what you're saying makes a lot of sense.

"Fine, at least give me a heads-up next time."

"I was scared when I opened the door just now."

Lin Xue said.

She was indeed scared.

She knew Li Qin best; having worked with her for so many years, she had never seen her have any contact with other men.

Now she had actually brought one home.

To her, this was like a bolt from the blue.

"Alright, Xiao Xue."

"You've worked hard today, come try this face mask, it's very good."

The two women walked into the bedroom, holding hands.

Outside, Qin Mu carefully examined the documents.

Must say, Lin Xue’s work ability was quite strong.

The basic information, work experience, personality traits, and so on for each assistant candidate were organized very completely and were clear at a glance.

'Li Zhaoxue', graduate of the Provincial Media Institute, two years of internship experience at Chengxue Entertainment.

'Pan Ru', undergraduate degree in media from Kyoto University, formerly employed at Jinjiang Media Company, with rich experience in the agent and assistant industry.

'Zhou Lin' has three years of study experience in South Korea and worked as an assistant for a South Korean girl group trainee for three years.

After reading through them, Qin Mu’s gaze lingered on one name.

'Song Meina', stage name Meina, graduate of Kyoto Media University, worked as a host for the Tencent NBA segment.

Hmm?

Why would she want to apply for an assistant position?

Isn't the host job pretty good?

Qin Mu couldn't help but be curious.

He had seen Meina before when he watched the NBA; she was good-looking and had decent professional skills.

Just then, the two women walked out wearing face masks.

"Xiao Xue, is this Song Meina also an assistant candidate?"

Qin Mu handed over the file and asked.

"Yes, Brother Qin."

"Meina is a friend of mine; she came to visit me yesterday, and when she saw me organizing assistant candidates, she eagerly signed up."

Lin Xue laughed.

"What about her host job?"

Qin Mu continued to ask.

"Her contract there has already expired, and she doesn't plan to renew it."

"She plans to take the postgraduate entrance exam during this time, so there will be more room for advancement when looking for jobs in the future."

Lin Xue said.

"I see."

Qin Mu nodded and said: "Alright, then you can arrange for her to have a meal this afternoon, and I'll talk to her in person."

Song Meina was a good candidate.

Especially her work experience; having been a host at Tencent, she must be very familiar with the processes of the entertainment industry, and her vision wouldn't be low, which would lead to higher standards in screening work.

Most importantly, she was willing to give up such a good job to study for a postgraduate degree and improve her knowledge and abilities.

Qin Mu valued this kind of enterprising and diligent character quite a bit.

"Okay, then I'll give her a call."

Lin Xue ran to the side to make the call.

Five-thirty in the afternoon.

Dalongkan Old Hot Pot.

This was Qin Mu’s last meal before leaving, so he naturally had to fulfill his promise to Li Qin.

Hot pot for life.

Lin Xue originally wanted to suggest some dinner options, but upon hearing it was Qin Mu’s idea, she didn't say anything more.

Forget it.

Once Brother Qin leaves, I'll properly supervise Sister Qin’s diet!

"Brother Qin, Sister Qin."

"Meina is here, I'll go pick her up."

Just after ordering the food, Lin Xue received a call and trotted out.

Soon, the two walked in, chatting and laughing.

Walking beside Lin Xue was a tall girl in an elegant ladies' suit, her shoulder-length hair draped over her shoulders, a faint smile on her beautiful cheeks, quite eye-catching.
