Chapter 27

The office fell into a deathly silence.

While everyone was having their own thoughts, a phone ring suddenly rang in the air.

The beating sound struck everyone's nerves.

The sound came from the sofa in the middle of the room.

Qi Zhao turned on his phone and found that it was a call from Chu Yunting.

Qi Zhao was confused for a moment after seeing the caller's name, but he answered the call after two seconds of reaction.

After Qi Zhao clearly saw the three words "Chu Yunting", he didn't think about avoiding the people in the room. He even turned up his voice a little louder: "Hey, Director Chu."

Chu Yunting's voice sounded very happy. : "Miss Qi, are you free tonight?"

Qi Zhao saw that Chu Yunting had just posted on WeChat Moments a few days ago that he was planning a new movie, so he smiled and said politely: "Why are Director Chu thinking of having dinner with me? You Aren't you busy filming a movie recently?"

Chu Yunting laughed twice and joked: "Oh, preparing for the movie is not as important as having a meal with Miss Qi."

Qi Zhaobu. Knowing Chu Yunting's purpose, he tried a sentence: "Director Chu is too flattering to me. I haven't done anything. How can I ask you to treat me to dinner?"

"Hey, what are you talking about, Miss Qi?" Chu Yunting said. He immediately refuted Qi Zhao, and his tone became a little serious, "Miss Qi is indispensable for Xiao Zhuo's ability to establish a connection with Linchuan."

Only then did Qi Zhao realize that he had learned that the film and television department had signed a contract with Qin Zhuo , I want to treat myself to a meal as a favor.

Although Qi Zhao likes drinking, he doesn't like drinking parties very much.

Just when she was about to refuse, she heard a message from Chu Yunting: "Miss Qi must come tonight. I've called Xiao Zhuo too. I must thank you in person."

When she heard Qin Zhuo's name Hou Qizhao was stunned for a second, then quickly recovered, and responded with a smile: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

The office was not big and no one dared to speak out, so the person on the other end of the phone The sound reached everyone's ears clearly.

Although they were not sure who Director Chu was, they heard the name "Linchuan" clearly.

The coach was even more surprised by the identity of the person in front of him.

She could actually connect with the famous Linchuan... Ji Yue's sister must be someone Han Ying can't afford to offend.

When the coach was still hesitating, Qi Zhao gave him the final blow.

She raised her eyelids and glanced around the team members who had their heads hanging down and their legs trembling, and said lightly: "Coach, I'd better make a decision quickly while I'm in a good mood, otherwise you team members won't be as simple as leaving alone."

She came to her senses . All the team members panicked.

Regardless of whether they were afraid or not, they quickly begged the coach: "...Coach, we don't want to leave."

After everyone begged, they involuntarily turned their eyes to Yang Feining.

The intention is self-evident.

When Yang Feining saw these people trying to push him out to ward off the disaster, he instantly became crazy. He blushed and stretched out his hands to yell at them: "Why did you push me out! I tell you, you are not clean either! If I leave, Don't think twice!"

"Yang Feining!"

When the coach saw Yang Feining trying to make things worse, he immediately yelled at him.

The coach finally made a decision at this moment.

He looked at Qi Zhao, with a smile on his face and his voice lowered unconsciously: "Sister Jiyue, it's my fault that I didn't realize what happened to Jiyue in Hanying in time... Bullying is the most serious problem in sports. Taboo, we will expel Yang Feining from the team according to your wishes."

After Yang Feining heard this with his own ears, he finally collapsed and collapsed on the ground.

With his head hanging down, all he could hear was howling.

Qi Zhao did not relent in the slightest, and continued: "Also, I hope I can hear you team members personally apologize to Ji Yue before I leave."

It was almost nine o'clock when Qi Zhao left.

She declined the coach's offer to send her out, and only Ji Yue followed her out of the gym.

Qi Zhao walked to the car, turned around and looked at Ji Yue with a smile. There was no trace of the harshness or ruthlessness in her eyes that she had just seen in the office: "Then I'll leave first. You can go back to training quickly."

Ji Yue nodded, losing the caution and restraint that she had when she first met Qi Zhao.

He opened his mouth, and although he was a little shy, he still tried his best to look into Qi Zhao's eyes, and said with red cheeks: "...Thank you."

Qi Zhao's smile deepened: "You're welcome."

Qi Zhao seemed to have thought of something after speaking. , and told Ji Yue: "If you are bullied again in the future, remember to tell me."

Ji Yue nodded solemnly: "Okay."

After Qi Zhao said goodbye to Ji Yue, he went back to catch up on his sleep. He was just about to leave for Chu Yunting's dinner party.

Qi Zhao did not ask Qin Zhuo about the dinner in advance, and Qin Zhuo did not deliberately talk to Qi Zhao.

It was as if the two parties had made an appointment, and they all pretended not to know about it in a tacit agreement.

When Qi Zhao arrived at the address given by Chu Yunting, he found that there were already two people in the house.

When Chu Yunting saw Qi Zhao, he quickly stood up and came over: "Miss Qi, welcome!"

After Qi Zhao and Chu Yunting exchanged greetings, their eyes fell on another tall figure in the room.

Qin Zhuo was dressed more formally today, wearing a black turtleneck sweater underneath and a windbreaker of the same color outside.

The hair is also meticulously taken care of.

Qi Zhao raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand: "Hello Qin Zhuo, I am Qi Zhao from the Linchuan Film and Television Department."

Qin Zhuo raised his lips and extended his hand.

His hand was so big that when he held Qi Zhao's hand, he almost covered her completely: "Hello, Minister Qi, let's remember that we should... have met."

Qi Zhao asked and raised his head to look at Qin Zhuo, not knowing What is he planning?

She asked him with her eyes: Are you going to pretend to know me or not?

Qin Zhuo raised his eyebrows and asked a question instead of giving an answer:

What do you think?

However, Chu Yunting, who was standing next to the two of them, felt that they really didn't know each other. He was afraid of making the atmosphere awkward and spoke quickly: "Miss Qi, Xiao Zhuo. Don't stand here. Sit down quickly."

He thought he was the middleman. Chu Yunting arranged himself between Qi Zhao and Qin Zhuo in order to prevent the two of them from feeling embarrassed.

Qi Zhao sat down according to Chu Yunting's arrangement and found Qin Zhuo sitting next to her.

Qi Zhao looked at Qin Zhuo and really couldn't understand what he wanted to do.

The reason why she pretended not to know Qin Zhuo in front of Chu Yunting was simple - she simply thought it was too troublesome to explain the matter from the beginning.

Qin Zhuo seemed to want to pretend that he didn't know her, but he didn't want to hide his relationship with her.

When Chu Yunting saw Qin Zhuo suddenly sitting next to Qi Zhao, he was stunned when he heard his nephew explain: "Uncle, I will definitely need to trouble Minister Qi when I make a movie in the future, so I want to talk to Minister Qi more."

Chu Yunting was overjoyed at first after hearing this, and then sighed in his heart that his nephew, who hated the wine shop culture, finally got the idea.

But since the protagonist of this dinner was Qi Zhao, Chu Yunting raised his feet and sat on the other side of Qi Zhao.

At the beginning of the meal, Chu Yunting served two bottles of good wine as usual. When he was about to open the bottle and fill it up for Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao quickly stopped him.

"Director Chu, I won't drink today. I drove here."

Chu Yunting didn't care when he heard this: "Hey, it's okay. I'll ask my assistant to be your driver for another day this time."

Qi Zhao has not yet Before she could speak, Qin Zhuo blocked the wine glass in front of her table.

He looked at Chu Yunting and said in a sincere tone: "Uncle, drink less. Be careful of liver cirrhosis."

Chu Yunting was shocked but felt a little warm: ...

then he put the wine away silently.

The purpose of this dinner was mainly to thank Qi Zhao, so not much about work was talked about during the whole dinner, but more about personal topics.

Chu Yunting, like the kind of relative everyone has, asked Qi Zhao: "I wonder if Miss Qi has a boyfriend?"

Qi Zhaoruo paused for two seconds unintentionally and denied: "No."

In her peripheral vision, she noticed Qin Zhuo turning his head and looking over.

Chu Yunting was a little surprised when he heard this: "Miss Qi is so young and promising. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, she must have many suitors, right?"

Qi Zhao looked like he was counting in his mind, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's okay. "

Qin Zhuo, who was in the peripheral vision, turned around.

"Are there many people pursuing you?"

Qi Zhao turned to look at Qin Zhuo and saw that his whole face darkened, and there was a trace of nervousness in his serious tone.

He didn't call her "Minister Qi" deliberately and harshly.

Qi Zhao stared at Qin Zhuo and suddenly laughed, and answered ambiguously: "No more, no less."

Qin Zhuo lowered his brows and looked serious: "How many?"

"One."

Qi Zhao tilted his head and bent his eyes like a fox. Smiling, "Do you still want me to say your name?"

"Qin Zhuo."

I don't know whether the last name was answering him or calling him.

Qin Zhuo's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and after a few seconds of blankness, it surged like waves hitting a rock.

But Chu Yunting couldn't understand the encrypted conversation between the two of them, and frowned in confusion: "Is one suitor...many?"

He may be old and doesn't understand the measurement units between young people.

...No, his nephew looked much more shocked than he was.

Can't even speak anymore.

Since there was no wine at this dinner, they finished the meal and exchanged a few words before leaving.

Qin Zhuo didn't know how he managed to get Chu Yunting away. When he went out, only he and Qi Zhao were left.

The night breeze was slightly cool. Qin Zhuo saw Qi Zhao shrinking his neck and took off his windbreaker to put it on her.

Qi Zhao's first reaction after seeing Qin Zhuo's actions was to take a step aside, then frowned and pretended to be confused: "Director Qin, I don't seem to be familiar with you."

Qin Zhuo immediately realized what she was doing. He was talking about what happened at the dinner table where the two of them pretended not to know each other.

Qin Zhuo did not ask Qi Zhao why he pretended not to know him just now.

He just smiled at her and explained to himself: "I'm afraid you will be embarrassed."

The confusion on Qi Zhao's face turned into real emotions: "Why am I embarrassed?"

"Because my uncle is mine. Parents."

She heard Qin Zhuo reply.
