Chapter 236: Can’t Be the Only One

Translator: Zayn_

A few days later, Shao Investment Company declared bankruptcy.

Most of the insiders in the industry paid attention to this news, but the public did not care much about it.

Compared to this, perhaps they were more concerned about the news that Zhu Jiao had fallen into the river and almost drowned.

After that, the first thing Zhu Jiao did when she woke up was to publicly apologize to Song Qingyou on Weibo. She admitted that she had deliberately made things difficult for her and even kicked Zhizhi into the lake.

If the police hadn’t released the surveillance footage and confirmed that Zhu Jiao had indeed fallen into the river by accident, everyone would have suspected that Song Qingyou was behind it.

Some superstitious people insisted that Zhu Jiao had suffered retribution.

Because of this, during this period of time, the crew was very polite to Song Qingyou.

Even the number of people gossiping about her behind her back had decreased by more than half.

Song Qingyou asked Chen Lan to bring some steamed buns back for her, but when Chen Lan came back, she had soy milk, porridge, and even scallion pancakes in her hands…

“You eat so much?” Song Qingyou was surprised.

“No, it was the crew who stuffed it in my arms.” Chen Lan’s lips twitched. “They also gave the buns.”

Song Qingyou was confused.

“It’s all because of the news online, isn’t it?” Chen Lan rolled her eyes. “Shao Investment Company went bankrupt, Zhu Jiao fell into the river… These people might have said bad things about you and now feel guilty!”

Song Qingyou picked out her choice of buns. “There’s no need for that.”

She wasn’t money, so how could she make everyone like her?

As long as they didn’t dance in front of her and upset her mood, she wouldn’t be so free to find trouble with others who said a few words behind her back.

“Just pretend you don’t know.” Chen Lan said, “The rumors were spread by these people. They just need to be taught a lesson.”

“Should I share this breakfast with the others?”

“Sure.”

Song Qingyou had just answered when Yu Muhuai’s voice came from the door. “Share what?”

He walked over and looked at the things on the table. “Why did Sister Lan buy so much… breakfast?”

“The crew gave it to me.” Chen Lan smiled and said, “If you want to eat, you can just take it.”

Yu Muhuai nodded. “It’s because of the recent news. I heard about it too.”

“You’re so busy, why are you still reading the gossip?” Song Qingyou asked.

Yu Muhuai had not finished filming that night when he was taken away by his manager. He had not appeared recently.

According to him, he was preparing for his first solo concert.

“There will always be a time to rest.”

Yu Muhuai sat down. “I’m sorry. You were hospitalized and I didn’t visit you…”

“It’s alright.” Song Qingyou smiled. “It’s not like 1 was seriously ill.”

Yu Muhuai frowned. “You really don’t blame me?”

Song Qingyou nodded. “No, I don’t.”

“Then are you willing to be a guest at the concert?”

“Eh?” Song Qingyou was stunned. “But I’m not good at singing. How can I be a guest?”

“Can’t you?” Disappointment was written all over Yu Muhuai’s face.

“For the first concert, you should invite a senior from the same company, or a singer with a higher status. It would be better.” Song Qingyou suggested seriously.

“I’m not very popular. I might not be able to invite anyone to my concert.”

Yu Muhuai lowered his head, half of his face in the shadows.

This was the first time Song Qingyou had seen him so depressed. She thought about it and asked, “Are you ready for your concert? When will it start?”

“Next weekend.” Yu Muhuai replied, “It’s almost ready. The stage setup is just as expected… Sister Rong also asked me to ask you, what kind of secret technology did you use on the catwalk of the Kyushu fashion show? Can we work together?”

“Did Sister Liang tell you?”

Song Qingyou had mentioned to Liang Ting that if anyone asked about the holographic projection, she should tell them the truth. Anyway, University A’s holographic laboratory could already independently produce such equipment, but the speed was a little slow.

“Sister Rong found out about it. I’m not sure… So the scene at the runway show was really related to you?”

Song Qingyou nodded. “We can work together, but you have to tell me what you want the stage to look like first.”

Yu Muhuai’s concert would definitely attract a lot of attention.

If she took the opportunity to advertise the holographic projection technology, more people would come to buy it.

Song Qingyou didn’t mind the money.

After all, a portion of the profits had to be distributed to the research team in the laboratory.

Yu Muhuai agreed decisively and moved to the next step.

“Since we’ve already collaborating on the stage layout, why don’t you come and be a guest? If there’s a problem with the equipment, you can solve it in time…”

“Actually, you’re not the only one. I’ve also invited Teacher Jiang and Sister Yingnan…”

“Sure.” Song Qingyou thought about her schedule.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Muhuai’s phone rang.

He apologized to Song Qingyou and turned to leave.

“Sister Rong?” He answered when he reached a corner where no one was passing by.

“Have you seen the list 1 sent you? Who do you want to invite to the concert? Give me a confirmation.”

“I’ll personally invite the guests,” Yu Muhuai said coldly.

“What?” Su Rong couldn’t believe it. “You didn’t invite Song Qingyou, did you? You didn’t just invite her, did you?”

Yu Muhuai didn’t say anything.

He had only intended to invite Song Qingyou.

“What is this? The real owner is pressing his head and letting his fans eat CP? Let me tell you, your fans won’t buy it.”

Su Rong suppressed her anger and said, “1 agree to you inviting Song Qingyou as a guest. Don’t push your luck. She can only be one of the guests, not the only one.”

Worried that Yu Muhuai would not listen to her advice, Su Rong used her trump card again.

“Zhu Jiao ‘slipped’ and fell into the river. I know you did it.”

“That has nothing to do with me. I’m not interested in what you do in private, but I hope you can put your career first.”

“Don’t forget what you said when you begged me to be your manager!”

“I understand. I’ll invite the others.” Yu Muhuai’s tone turned cold. “Sister

Rong, don’t forget that you’re my manager.”

They were in the same boat. If Su Rong dared to tell anyone about Zhu Jiao, neither of them would have a good ending.

“Don’t worry.”

Su Rong said and hung up the phone.

Yu Muhuai took out a lighter from his pocket and wanted to light a cigarette.

At this moment, a sound came from the grass behind him.

He suddenly turned around. “Who?”

If anyone else were to see his gloomy face, they would definitely be scared to death.

However, Jiang Zhihan, who had followed Yu Muhuai out, was mentally prepared. He was like an ordinary cat that was unaware of danger.

“Meow-”

“So it’s you.”

The corners of Yu Muhuai’s mouth curled up slightly. His eyes were dark and there was no trace of a smile.

Just as Jiang Zhihan was about to leave, a voice came from behind him. “Zhizhi, why are you here?”

“Yu Muhuai?” Song Qingyou stopped in her tracks. “How did you-”

Her gaze fell on the lighter.

Yu Muhuai knew that she hated the smell of cigarettes. He explained in a gentle voice, “I wanted to protect my throat, so I’ve been quitting smoking. I almost couldn’t hold it in. I took out my lighter and remembered that I didn’t bring any cigarettes.”

As he said that, he smiled embarrassedly.

It was a completely different person from the devilish expression he had just now.

Song Qingyou took out a few candies. “Mint candies. Do you want to try?”

Yu Muhuai smiled and accepted it. “Thank you.”

Jiang Zhihan tugged at Song Qingyou’s pants and urged her to leave.

“Don’t worry.” Song Qingyou comforted him and said, “Zhizhi might be hungry. I’ll take him back first.”

After the man and cat walked far away, Yu Muhuai stopped smiling and gaze fell on Jiang Zhihan, as sharp as a knife..
