Chapter 218

He Lele smiled, put the vegetable plate in her hand on the small square table, and then served rice for Ren Lingyu.

When she was in the apartment, she had been looking for a place to stay after coming out, and finally chose this place. There were usually many such rental rooms near the university, single rooms with kitchens and bathrooms. The area was very small and didn't come with furniture. After putting a bed in the room, there was basically no space left, but the advantage was that the rent was cheap. In addition, transportation and shopping around the university were very convenient, and the prices were relatively affordable. For a graduate like her who had just left campus and had no economic ability, it was actually a good choice.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" He Lele put the rice bowl in front of Lingyu and asked jokingly when she saw her staring straight at her.

"Lele, are you hiding a lot of things from me?"

He Lele was slightly startled. "Why do you ask that?"

"..." Ren Lingyu frowned with a somewhat heavy expression. "Is there, or not?"

He Lele looked at Ren Lingyu's expression and lowered her head slightly to look at the simple dishes on the table. Lingyu rarely spoke to her so seriously; she knew Lingyu was worried about her.

"Yes. I am hiding things from you, but I mentioned it to you before. To protect the privacy of the owners, that job of mine had a contract, and I couldn't disclose anything in the apartment without permission. You wouldn't want me to be someone without contractual spirit, right?"

"Then... besides things in the apartment, are you hiding anything else from me?" Ren Lingyu asked, half-believing.

"Heh... I've been in the apartment for these three months. Besides things in the apartment, what else could there be? It's you instead—" He Lele looked Ren Lingyu up and down with interest. "It's only been three months, and you already have the lawyer vibe! I didn't expect Lawyer Li to not only have strong strength himself but also be so good at teaching apprentices?"

As soon as she heard He Lele praise Li Yiquan, Ren Lingyu immediately raised her eyebrows proudly. "Of course! My master is Li Yiquan! You don't know, it's happened several times; the opposing lawyer's face turns white as soon as they see my master, hahahaha! It cracks me up!"

"Then what if you were asked to face off against Lawyer Li?"

"Uh—cough, cough, cough! I, I'm hungry! Eat! Eat!"

After eating and cleaning up, the two of them rested on the small bed, side by side with their heads together.

"You're going to report to the hotel tomorrow, right?" Ren Lingyu asked softly.

"Mm."

"Why did you suddenly think of being a customer service representative?"

He Lele explained the reason slowly. At first, she had no clue when looking for recruitment information online because she was afraid of failing in the interview stage due to her gaze phobia. Later, she accidentally saw someone post on a forum saying that they had failed miserably in a phone interview because of poor on-the-spot reaction, so she paid attention and discovered that the position the poster was applying for was customer service. After a period of understanding and comparison, combined with her own interests and advantages, she decided to try this position and submitted several resumes online. Two of them actually called her for interviews, and both wanted her to come to the company to meet as soon as possible...

For the past two days, she had gone to those two companies one after another. The final meetings were basically one-on-one with department heads and HR personnel, and everything went very smoothly, completely different from the situation of hitting walls repeatedly three months ago. So... the direction of action was really important.

After comparison, she chose to go to the call center of the ×Jing Hotel headquarters to be a customer service representative because it was closer to the Liming Law Firm, so maybe she could eat with Lingyu during lunch break...

She would officially report tomorrow. It would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous, but... having a normal job, a normal work environment, clear job responsibilities, and development prospects—her future life seemed to be gradually becoming clear! This feeling—was really good!

A rainbow appearing after the rain was probably her mood now.

"By the way, there is one thing you must tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll know soon anyway, so you might as well just tell me! I can't wait!" Ren Lingyu suddenly sat up straight and looked at He Lele eagerly.

"What is it?"

"This time, before Qin Zhixiu's new album, there will be a lead single and a photo book. The grapevine says the single is a duet with a mysterious girl outside the circle! That mysterious girl outside the circle wouldn't be you, would it?"

☆, (8 Fresh Coins) Chapter 191: Entangled Predicament

"Ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah! Ah-ah-ah-ah!"

Listening to Lingyu's extremely excited screams in her ear, He Lele shook her head with a smile. She had been busy these past few days, so she hadn't opened the iron box Qin Zhixiu gave her. She only remembered it when Lingyu asked about the single. The iron box contained exactly the lead single and photo book Lingyu mentioned. The packaging was extremely exquisite and sophisticated. She was just about to take out the disc to play it, but Lingyu grabbed the photo book with glowing eyes, in a posture—just like a weasel that hadn't eaten for three days and nights encountering a chicken...

Ren Lingyu flipped page by page, screaming sound by sound. He Lele couldn't help but worry about whether the neighbors would come to knock on the door. She had seen all the photos in the photo book at Mu Wei's place, so she could very well understand Lingyu's mood. Qin Zhixiu's flawless appearance, pure temperament, and Mu Wei's technique—whether under the blue sea and sky or on the sofa floor, Qin Zhixiu was so purely beautiful that one couldn't bear to profane him, yet he was also incredibly alluring, making people unable to control themselves from fantasizing about staining him, and then feeling ashamed of their own sinful thoughts.

He... A trace of shyness quietly flashed across He Lele's little face—Lingyu must not have thought that she was Qin Zhixiu's first woman.

"Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah—" Ren Lingyu's strange scream, mixed with excitement and tragedy, pulled He Lele back from her beautiful memories.

"What's wrong?"

Ren Lingyu looked at He Lele with an expression of being overly shocked, her index finger pointing tremblingly at the photo book. He Lele leaned over to look, but didn't understand for a while, because the page Lingyu was pointing at only had an image on the bottom third, while the top part was pitch black. Looking closely at that third, she immediately blushed. It, it was the scene of Qin Zhixiu kissing her on the sofa that day! That third just happened to reveal the arm Qin Zhixiu was using to hug her, his arm and the clothes half-off and half-hanging on his waist, and the smooth, tempting patch of skin on his waist and back.

Please look forward to the full version in Qin Zhixiu's new album "Within Reach of Heaven."

Seeing the small line of text on the photo book, He Lele couldn't help but cry and laugh. Doing this really whetted the fans' appetites. She seemed to hear the heartfelt wails of thousands of young girls... No wonder Mu Wei said one photo in exchange for a 30% increase in sales. With fans being held back like this, when the album hit the market, fans would probably rush into bookstores and music stores at the first opportunity to see the full "erotic photo," right? Speaking of which, even she hadn't seen this one...

"Lele! It, it's you, right? You and Qin Zhixiu, you and him are really together?" Ren Lingyu asked, both surprised and happy.

"No, it's not, how could that be, it's just for photos."

"Really?"

"Rea, lly!" He Lele emphasized word by word.
