Chapter 5

"How can it be insufficient? A pair of eyes so beautiful, as if they can speak."

He originally had little desire to communicate with her, but her attitude slightly annoyed him, compelling him to say something after all

The living room was very quiet, and Liang Siyue asked softly, "Aren't they here, ma'am?"

Liu Yubai lightly interjected, "I can't get used to your collective lunch boxes," and gave a glance, signaling Li Yao to pass it to Liang Siyue

She feigned politeness, but her eyes spoke the truth: Why are you targeting me? Is there something wrong with you?

An acquaintance politely greeted, "Hello..."

Li Yao felt a bit drowsy after finishing his meal and asked if he could rest a little in the car

However, such social interactions are inevitable, and she also wishes to do her best to alleviate her father's worries

She confirmed the mailing address with her grandmother and placed an order for a massage chair

Hello, Miss Liang. Li Yao looked at the two boxes of food in his hands, feeling a bit troubled. "Have you eaten, Miss Liang?"

"Deliver something to Mother Zheng." She raised the fruit basket in her hand

Liang Siyue glanced at him with a look of great difficulty, as if asking, so what exactly do you want me to do?

How much to draw?

Liu Yubai said: "There are many people on site now, you should not go and create more chaos."

Ultimately, Liang Siyue and Chi Qiao took turns negotiating, but to no avail, and could only accept a salary that had been reduced by half.

Haven't those two already turned the page on their grievances? Why are they still holding on to it? Does this person have no capacity for tolerance at all

Liang Siyue said: "Thank you, Mr. Li, I have already eaten"

In any case, it is certainly not benevolent

On Saturday morning, Liang Siyue checked the balance in her mobile wallet again

The exhibitor only signed a contract with the intermediary company, which then entered into a separate contract with the model. The exhibitor settles the payment with the intermediary company, and how the intermediary distributes it to the model is no longer their concern. Moreover, if they approach the exhibitor to complain, they might end up on a blacklist; once the news spreads within the industry, we may not receive similar job opportunities in the future

Molly opened the door and took out the lunch box. Just as she was about to leave, Liu Yubai called out to her again, "Did you see Liang Siyue at the venue?"

The person who came to the door was Wang Ma, who appeared somewhat surprised. Liang Siyue explained the purpose of her visit, and Wang Ma retrieved a pair of clean slippers for her

Liu Yubai smiled for a moment

She took the fruit basket and led her to sit down at the dining table

"Half." Chi Qiao was extremely angry, burying her head and typing quickly, negotiating with someone

Liang Siyue shook her head with a smile, "It feels like that is not really him"

He had a completely frostbitten expression

You do not like him again

Liu Yubai is very sensitive to smells; he is usually someone who does not use any car air fresheners. Now, with two scents intertwining, it is akin to a biochemical weapon, leaving him feeling dizzy and disoriented

Liu Yubai said: "There is still a box of lunch, you take it to the driver."

Liang Siyue asked: "Can we negotiate with the exhibitors?"

I still have a bit of fondness for it

After a short while, a man walked out from the door, wearing a black windbreaker. He had disheveled hair, was tall and thin, with gaunt cheeks and skin that appeared extremely unhealthy and pale, somewhat resembling someone who had not seen the sun for a long time

Speaking, Mother Zheng called out into the living room, "Yubai, is it alright to bring Miss Liang for dinner tonight?"

April ... ... The little girl's name is quite easy to remember

In a moment, Assistant Molly will come to report the situation

Li Yao knew that this gentleman had a peculiar temper and lacked patience, so he did not press further and continued with the previous topic, "I have had those disruptive fans recorded, so in future fan events, we can definitely filter them out if necessary"

What is there to thank for

Send it to me, please," Liang Siyue said hurriedly

Mother Zheng shook her head and smiled, saying: "We won't eat at home. After all... the eldest son is treating us."

Earning two thousand from part-time work, combined with the pocket money saved during usual times, and by advancing a bit of next week's living expenses, is basically sufficient. It will be fine to save a little more in the following week.

Liu Yubai let out a soft "hm"

At this point, Liu Yubai found her utterly displeasing, especially with the overwhelming scent of floral perfume wafting through the cramped compartment, which was excessively sweet

As it was Saturday, Liang Siyue did not have classes at school, and Pan Lanlan and Liu Ze had gone out to play, so Zheng Ma invited Liang Siyue to stay for dinner

Li Yao picked up the bag by his feet and was about to get out of the car when Liu Yubai, who was in front and had just picked up his phone to send a message, said again: "The box of snacks in the back seat."

A familiar acquaintance

The two-day part-time job has finally come to an end, and Liang Siyue has undoubtedly worsened her cold.

The staff of the club ordered boxed meals uniformly, with the main dish being braised potato and beef brisket, which tasted quite good, although it was rather strong in flavor

"Company." Liu Yubai corrected in a calm tone, "It is the company."

Unless absolutely necessary, Liang Siyue truly does not want to go to the Liu family again

Liu Yubai was equally surprised, "What are you doing here?"

Liang Siyue did not ask whether, since a contract has been signed, it is possible to file a lawsuit

Liang Siyue thought to herself, indeed, when it comes to asking this person to do something, conditions must be discussed. "... then forget it, I won't trouble Mr. Liu. Next time, if I have the opportunity to meet Mr. Zhou, I will speak to him personally"

Of course, she only said: "I have an appointment with a friend to meet at Mr. Zhou's booth"

Does Mr. Liu have any opinions about me

"We will talk about it later," Liu Yubai interrupted him

"Take the trash out first." Liu Yubai said with great disdain

Mr. Zhou's press conference has already started. Are you waiting for him in the car, or would you prefer to find a lounge?

Well... he said cautiously, "Am I... interrupting you?"

The man looked at Liang Siyue and said, "This is ... ..."

Having finished speaking, he closed the car door and turned to leave

Liu Yubai was speechless and said, "Hand it to me."

Since you asked this way, the answer is certainly straightforward. Liang Siyue said, "I apologize for the interruption," and immediately prepared to get off the vehicle

Chi Qiao sent the photo over on WeChat and deleted it from her own phone, "If you like him, you can follow his fan club, they often post beautifully edited pictures, which are better than this one"

Li Yao said while wolfing down his food: "Those few ELA fans just now..."

Who knows

Madam and the third young master have gone out of town. Wang Ma instructed her to go to the backyard to find Zheng Ma

However, to my surprise, after waiting for two days, I received an infuriating message that the unscrupulous agent said they would take a commission

Liu Yubai said nothing and turned to return to the room

Liang Siyue, carrying a fruit basket, passed through the kitchen and collided head-on with someone at the door leading to the backyard

Liang Siyue did not inform Chi Qiao about her encounter with Zhou Xun. Firstly, Chi Qiao might not believe it; secondly, she felt that Zhou Xun would likely not appreciate such seemingly boastful behavior; and thirdly, she selfishly did not want to share it with anyone

Li Yao ate his meal quickly, almost choking in the process. He finished this battle meal in less than five minutes and planned to give way to the two others.

She went back to the exhibition booth to work with her friend

As long as I can receive the full amount of money, this hard work will not have been in vain

However, the wind is strong and the weather is cold outside, making it unsuitable to open the windows

Chi Qiao let out a sound, "Possessed by magic."

No one would engage in a time-consuming and laborious lawsuit for such a small amount of money; they have professional legal counsel, while the two of them are completely unable to afford such a battle on their own. It is precisely because they are aware of this that the intermediary dares to act so unscrupulously

"No." The two spoke in unison

Chi Qiao showed her a few photos taken from a distance, which became too blurry to see after zooming in, "Perhaps it would be better to delete them..."

Liang Siyue hurriedly made way inside

At this moment, Liang Siyue received a call from Chi Qiao, asking her where she was

Liu Yubai: "... ..."

Liu Yubai did not express a clear opinion

He walked straight over, holding two boxes of takeout in his hand, and opened the door to the back seat

Before leaving, Liang Guozhi entrusted Liang Siyue with a task

The new artist you signed? Li Yao has new ideas again

Zheng's mother, who was sunbathing in the backyard, heard the commotion and came over, quite pleased, saying, "It is kind of you to remember my birthday."

The young girl today sported a traditional costume style with heavy makeup. Her makeup skills were average, which instead rendered her distinctive features indistinguishable among the crowd.

Chi Qiao informed her that Zhou Xun's booth was completely inaccessible, as his enthusiastic supporters formed an impenetrable barrier. Without the same fervor and spirit of charging forward together, it was impossible to compete with them

Li Yao inquired: "What assistance did the second young master provide?"

The man smiled and said: "Hello, hello, I am a friend of General Liu, my name is Li Yao, with the three earths in the character Yao"

This smile from Liang Siyue is incomprehensible, feeling as if it is mocking her, "Not everyone is qualified to give me advice," and it also seems to simply question whether she is lacking in intelligence.

Li Yao tidied up his lunch box and, while unscrewing the water bottle to drink, was still pondering who this "acquaintance" was that could get into Liu Yubai's car. As far as he knew, President Liu had a host of peculiarities, the foremost being his obsession with cleanliness. Those who had not entered his circle of friends would find it unlikely to even get close to him, let alone hitch a ride in his car.

He frowned and activated the air circulation system.

She took the opportunity to get out of the car and, before leaving, asked Liu Yubai to convey her thanks to Zhou Xun

"Just wait here." Liu Yubai glanced back and gestured to her; Li Yao was still taking a nap in the back seat.

The two had not seen each other for several months. Regardless of whether they were enemies or friends at that time, today Liang Siyue was here to celebrate a birthday.

Liang Siyue furrowed her brows, turned her head away in anger, and no longer wished to have any communication with him

She hurriedly stopped in her tracks, looked up, and to her surprise, it was Liu Yubai

Is she qualified

Liu Yubai did not turn back, only asking: "Do you know whose car this is?" How dare he show such disdain while being in his car.

After a moment, a faint voice from Liu Yubai came: "Whatever."

Liang Siyue considers herself to have a good temper, rarely getting angry throughout the year; this year's quota of anger will likely be spent entirely on Liu Yubai.

Liu Yubai nodded slightly and said nothing more

Zheng Ma asked Liang Siyue how her studies and life were, and whether she had adapted to the school. The latter answered each question one by one

Liang Siyue procrastinated until the afternoon before heading out

Li Yao was momentarily taken aback, glancing at Liu Yubai and then at Liang Siyue beside him, completely misunderstanding the reason why Liu Yubai did not want him to continue speaking

I am an outsider, this is not very good

The moment of rejection and avoidance on Liang Siyue's face was clearly observed by Liu Yubai

I just encountered a bit of trouble at the venue, and Mr. Zhou had someone help me out of the situation

Li Yao picked it up and said, "I can't eat anymore..."

Li Yao hardly slept at all last night, got up early without having breakfast, and was extremely hungry. He no longer bothered to be polite with the two others, placing the remaining box aside, allowing anyone who wanted to eat to take it themselves.

She had previously dealt with some small agencies. Although the jobs they introduced were generally average, the payment was always sufficient. Even if there was a commission, it would be communicated in advance, unlike this situation where the payment suddenly took a significant cut.

Where to go

My name is Liang Siyue

It is simply bullying us because we have no backing

"Today is Zheng Ma's birthday, take some time to buy a fruit basket and send it to her." Liang Guozhi took out an old wallet and handed her two banknotes, "Don't be stingy, pick a good one. I will accompany Director Liu to a meeting, and I estimate I will be back late tonight. After you get home, lock the door well and rest early."
