Chapter 180: Talking Business

Su Yu was puzzled, 【Wulongcha~】

【Got it, I'll go check right now!】

Wulongcha went to look into Tang Tang and the Li family, and returned before Su Yu headed to the company.

【Wulongcha, how come you were so fast this time?】

【There wasn't much to look into. The person Tang Tang used to like is named Li Huanran. Right now he's just a playboy living off his brother, but in the plot, it seems he inherits the Li family company.】

【Why?】

【Don't worry, Host. Given how recklessly Qin Yuanjun courts death, you might just live to see that day!】

The entertainment rankings were full of Hot Search topics about variety shows, TV dramas, and gown photos—nothing major in the way of gossip.

Su Yu was about to head back when she caught a familiar face slipping behind the blinds.

"I'm sorry for the unpleasant experience!"

Wulongcha bobbed up and down, 【Probably keeping your dad company?】

"From now on, I won't freeze the assets in your hands, but everything to do with the Qin family and the Xu family has nothing to do with you anymore!"

Su Yu could actually have had them, but she couldn't explain where they came from, so she could only go through intermediaries like this.

"Yeah! I saw someone unexpected and wanted to tell Auntie Qin Yun!"

Guan Xianxian, who had been sitting to the side, stood stiffly for a moment, then followed Qin Yuanjun's lead and knelt down too!

"I don't deserve to be called 'Dad' by you! Do you remember what I told you?"

Su Yu looked at the little girl in ancient-style attire in the painting and shook her head, "No need, thank you!"

The artists at Hua Jing Entertainment who hadn't been purged were all laid-back types who weren't willing to work during their time off. No work naturally meant no topics—how could they make the rankings?

Shi Yu panicked a little. He had just finished talking to his future father-in-law—how had things changed already?

"This... Brother Qin, don't act impulsively. Maybe there's still a turning point for this!"

"Uncle Qin and Auntie Guan Xianxian are out playing together! I saw them!"

Su Yu sat at the table. Two girls in exquisite Tang-style hanfu held wooden trays, set down the pastries Su Xi had ordered in advance on the tea table, and stood quietly to one side.

"Xiao Yun?"

Su Yu thought of Hua Jing Entertainment and paid closer attention, "Why aren't there any artists from Hua Jing on here?"

The interior was divided into three main areas, each separated by wooden screens. Su Xi settled Su Yu in the rest area, asked Zhao Liangyun to look after her, and took Qin Tao into the reception area.

"Where are Lanzhi and Meilu?"

"Can I go over there?"

"My dad found out I came out. Our deal is off!"

Zhao Liangyun pulled out an ancient-style book and handed it to Su Yu.

"What kind of fur is this? It's so soft!"

Su Yu soon received a call from Qin Yun.

【So what about the current heir of the Li family? Li Huanran doesn't have a good relationship with Tang Tang, and I don't want him to be the Li family heir!】

Zhao Liangyun looked at his phone and nodded, "Someone from President Meng's side just sent word—they've already followed up!"

Su Yu hid behind them and watched Qin Yuanjun drop to his knees before Qin Zhenzhong in a flash! A real kneel!

Qin Yuanjun looked up at Qin Zhenzhong in disbelief, "Dad! I'm your only son!"

"Are you sure?"

Su Yu looked at the new phone in her hands and grinned happily, "Okay!"

Qin Zhenzhong had already made preparations: as soon as Qin Yuanjun married Guan Xianxian, he would transfer this son's household registration out, then apply for IVF!

Wulongcha ignored the glass, floated in and wobbled around, then quickly floated back out.

The two of them performed a motion in unison. Su Yu couldn't quite understand it but guessed it was some kind of etiquette.

"Why did you two suddenly leave just now?"

Apart from Lanzhi and Meilu, the other servers who brought in the dishes had all left the private room.

Lanzhi's last remark had been directed at Zhao Liangyun.

Su Yu didn't see any gossip that interested her, so she focused on playing games.

"Alright, I'll have your Auntie Qin Yun call you!"

"Don't run around once you're inside!"

The four of them entered the outdoor landscape area. Su Yu held her phone, taking photos and videos to send to Ji Yan.

After sending the messages, Su Yu stroked the fur on her outfit.

Wulongcha cross-checked the data, 【It hasn't been written yet. Li Huanran has a role in the plot, but only because his mistress is in the entertainment industry and is on good terms with Guan Xianxian.】

……

Ji Yan still hadn't replied. Su Yu pouted! Even the garden, with a new view at every step, couldn't cheer her up!

【What's Mommy doing? Why won't she talk to me!】

Su Yu watched as Lanzhi rolled up the painting in a few quick motions and slipped it into her sleeve pouch, marveling inwardly, 【The servers here are so fast!】

【Host, Shi Yu and Qin Yuanjun are both inside.】

"I'll go myself!"

Su Yu trotted back to her private room on her cheerful little feet, pulled out her phone, and made a call.

Considering that Su Yu was only a three-year-old child, Lanzhi took out a painting from her own sleeve pouch. She and Meilu unrolled it together, "These are the available styles. If you see one you like, our staff can make it on the spot!"

"You're too kind!"

Lanzhi and Meilu produced four cloaks from the cabinet beside them as if by magic. Su Yu chose a fiery red plush cloak with a hood resembling bear ears, took a photo, and sent it to Ji Yan.

【Wuhu~ I have my own phone now!】

Lanzhi had received notice beforehand. Su Yu's age was around three years old. The instructions from above were that unless accompanied by a direct relative, Su Yu should not be brought inside the craft-type projects to play, to avoid problems. If Su Yu wanted to visit, the staff of those projects had to be notified first so everyone could prepare in advance.

"Brother Qin, what's this?"

Su Yu: 【Video】

Since she couldn't go play, Su Yu lost interest in these projects.

Su Yu: Mommy, forward it to Huo Huo's mommy and let her show Huo Huo! It's really super pretty!

Su Yu flipped through it. The front section had various entertainment projects like musical instrument performances, Go, and dance—she wasn't interested. The back section had craft-type projects like incense-making, embroidery, and pottery-making.

"Auntie! Is Grandpa Qin at home?"

Qin Yun looked completely bewildered—so she wasn't looking for her?

Su Yu looked at the Luban lock, nine-linked ring, kite, bamboo copter, and other items on the desk, and waved her hand. "I don't need them for now!"

Su Yu had eaten pastries earlier and wasn't very hungry.

Su Yu: Mommy, look!

Qin Yun hesitated for a moment, then went to the study to find Qin Zhenzhong.

"Let's wait outside. Uncle Qin's cards have all been frozen, so he can't pay the bill! If you notify him in advance and he skips out on the bill, you'll bear the responsibility yourselves!"

Su Yu: 【Images ×9】

Qin Yuanjun climbed up with a heavy expression and helped Guan Xianxian to her feet. "No. My father has always meant what he says. When he said he'd freeze my cards before, he froze my cards. Now he says I can't use the Qin family and Xu family's resources, so I definitely won't be able to use them!"

"Mr. Qin has left the hospital! I'll go find him right now!"

Lanzhi seemed to have greater authority. She stepped forward half a step and said gently, "We've already prepared a Tang Dynasty outfit for you. Would you like to try it on?"

"You've really made something of yourself, risking your life to come see this woman?"

Lanzhi glanced up in the direction Su Yu was pointing. "Yes, there's another guest in the private room."

【Wulongcha, go check quickly—besides Guan Xianxian, who else is in the private room?】

Wulongcha had already looked into it when investigating Li Huanran. 【A normal businessman, and very sharp! Shortly after the Tang Family and the Ren family made their move, he quickly responded. The Li family didn't suffer much loss this time!】

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction and was about to ask someone to bring her a cup of tea, but when she turned her head, she found that all the servers had disappeared.

In another private room, Su Yu asked Zhao Liangyun once every minute, "Are they keeping up with him?"

"What would Little General Manager Su like? They seem to have been called away by the supervisor!"

Qin Zhenzhong waved his hand to interrupt Qin Yuanjun. "Seems like he remembers!"

"Of course. Please put on the cloak!"

"Recently, Hua Jing Entertainment has been adjusting artist affairs internally, and most artists are on vacation."

She hadn't played for long before Lanzhi and Meilu brought in several people dressed identically to them. They split into two groups—one group went into the reception area, and the other came before Su Yu and arranged the dishes.

"They're talking business, and I'm bored~"

Su Yu felt it was a pity!

【Such a wonderful scene, what a pity!】

Qin Yuanjun knelt on the spot, utterly despondent. Shi Yu, who had just finished calling Ming Wanqiu, returned and saw only two people kneeling on the ground.

"Okay!"

"Mommy, do you have Auntie Qin Yun's phone number?"

Fu Dali came in from outside and said respectfully, "Mr. Qin is at the hospital!"

The reception room was visually estimated at over two hundred square meters. Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass on the side was some common garden landscaping—small bridges over flowing water, arranged with an elegant sense of layering.

Having accomplished a major task, Su Yu happily looked at her phone for gossip.

"Never mind, no need!"

Qin Yuanjun's face was pale. "Dad, I didn't mean to. I just came out to..."

"Do you know that guest? Our staff can help you contact them!"

Su Yu got in the car and looked at the scenery outside the window, her eyes full of curiosity.

Qin Zhenzhong took the phone with some surprise. Su Yu was looking for him? Then why not reach him through Su Xi?

Qin Yuanjun's private room was in a different style. The servers' attire inside the private room resembled Song Dynasty clothing, looking very elegant and refined.

"Can I go out and play?"

"That's right, I don't have his phone number!"

"To record others, you need their consent!"

The development project that Shi Yu had discussed with him had a prerequisite for cooperation: that he could leverage the Qin family and Xu family's connections.

"Auntie, why are you here too?"

"Uncle Qin is at home. You're looking for him?"

"Can I participate in these?"

She first wrestled with toys like the Luban lock and the nine-linked ring! After she got bored of playing with each one, she used her new phone's WeChat to send photos and videos to Ji Yan.

"Are those your names?"

What kind of strange question was this?

"Certainly. These are the featured projects here. If you're interested, you can go and experience them."

Su Yu waved her phone and asked Lanzhi and Meilu, who were following behind her, "Can I record videos here?"

Zhao Liangyun took out the regularly stocked toys from the cabinet in the rest area and placed them in front of Su Yu. Having spent a lot of time with Su Yu, she naturally asked, "Does Little General Manager Su want other toys?"

【Ah, not a single catfight, just this little bit of stuff? So boring!】

【Probably Guan Xianxian made the connection?】

"It's wool. The color of the clothing is dyed using traditional methods. Please rest assured!"

"It's at Chang'an Alley!"

After making the gesture, they said in unison, "Yes!"

"Alright!"

"I'm worried about you, why are you alone?"

Ji Yan didn't reply on the other end, so Su Yu began observing the ornamental plants outside.

Su Yu put on her wool cloak herself, slipped on matching gloves, held her phone, and watched Lanzhi and Meilu quickly put on their cloaks.

Su Yu was incredibly happy!

Su Yu held Su Xi's hand and stepped from the modern lobby into the Chinese garden-style reception room.

Ji Yan was pushing Su Yi in the garden, chatting, and was a bit surprised to hear this request. "Baby, didn't you go out to discuss business?"

"Is that side also a private room?"

Qin Zhenzhong heard genuine joy on the other end of the phone, and his mood improved a lot. Before the corners of his mouth could even rise, Su Yu's words made his face darken!

Fu Dali made a phone call on the spot. The people guarding the hospital went in to search and only saw a dummy.

"Wait till I get home to tell you, you tell me first~"

Qin Yuanjun packed up his things and left with Guan Xianxian. Qin Yuanjun looked dazed and didn't notice Guan Xianxian glancing back from time to time at Shi Yu, whose expression was equally poor.

She opened the entertainment rankings to look at the celebrity Hot Searches in the industry.

【Hmm, if I'd known, I would have called Mom over too!】

"I know them! No need to contact!"

Fu Dali was taken aback. "I'll call the hospital to confirm!"

Qin Zhenzhong's face was dark, his voice low and forceful. "No!"

"Grandpa Qin, do you have heart disease?"

"We eat separately?"

Su Yu thought, Qin Yuanjun absolutely won't agree!

"Dali! Where is Qin Yuanjun?"

【Qin Yuanjun should be at the hospital right now! I'm going to tell on him!】

【What? How did those two get in contact?】

Zhao Liangyun nodded. "Yes!"

Arriving at the company, Su Yu focused on revising her own proposal. Su Xi gave Su Yu a planning proposal prepared by Su Clan's professionals, asking her to compare it with her own and pick the best of the best!

The two each had orchids and plum blossoms embroidered on their clothing. Su Yu glanced at the tags at their waists—one read "Lanzhi," the other "Meilu."

【Nothing has happened, the system can't find anything either!】

Lanzhi and Meilu exchanged glances, ultimately lowering their hands that had been pressing their pagers.

"Uncle Qin, Su Yu is looking for you!"

"Dad, how did you know I was here?"

The two gently pushed open a pane of glass, and only then did Su Yu realize that spot was a double-layered glass door!

Qin Zhenzhong led a group of people charging into Chang'an Alley, heading straight for the private room where Qin Yuanjun was. Su Yu held Qin Yun's hand, following behind to join the excitement.

Lanzhi, standing to the side, still had a gentle voice. "For your safety, you may watch, but participation is not recommended~"

"That's wonderful!"

"Xianxian, let's go!"

"Who is it?"

"Little one, let the adults give the address!"

After Su Yu finished speaking, the other side hung up the phone.

Qin Zhenzhong left in disappointment. Su Yu, afraid of being targeted, quickly pulled Qin Yun back toward her own private room!

【He just left like that? I thought I'd get to see Qin Yuanjun's dad beat up Qin Yuanjun!】

"Not anymore!"

【I wonder if that Li family heir is dead or was forced to step down.】

Lanzhi and Meilu bowed and apologized, but didn't answer Su Yu's question.

【Hey, you think if you don't tell me, I have no way of finding out? Wulongcha, go check! If these two get penalized, I'll compensate them!】

Thanks, babies, for the votes~
