Chapter 297: Alone with the Emperor.

Chapter 297

Qin Wei naturally looked at Li Yao.

Li Yao understood, and kept it brief:

"It's just having dinner with the investors of this drama, to entertain them a bit.

Su Yang will go with you, and I and Mr. He will be with you the whole time too. After all, public opinion hasn't been great online lately, so we need to take a stand and reassure the investors.

Of course, you won't need to do anything. Many brands also cooperate with us, no one will deliberately make things difficult for anyone. Mr. He will take care of the pleasantries, I'll drink the alcohol."

Qin Wei pulled at the corner of her mouth:

"Li Yao, I don't mean to underestimate you, but your alcohol tolerance really is quite poor..."

Li Yao was prepared:

"I'm bringing a colleague who can really drink. That kind of person."

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll do Miss Qin Wei's makeup while we chat."

He Hong picked up the makeup bag next to her and looked at Sun Tiantian.

"Oh...okay...the dressing room is over there, there's also a makeup counter, go ahead and use it..."

He Hong smiled satisfactorily, showing a smile, then invited Qin Wei to go with her.

Sitting in front of the mirror, He Hong applied her makeup while saying:

"By age, I should be your elder. If Miss Qin Wei doesn't mind, I'll call you Wei Wei, maybe it won't feel so impersonal."

You still call Jiao Sixiao by her full name, don't you think that's impersonal?

Of course she had no business asking this question. Qin Wei replied: "Anything you like is fine."

"Doing your makeup reminds me of when my daughter entered a dance competition as a child. I did her makeup back then too."

Looking at Qin Wei in the mirror, He Hong's eyes showed rare gentleness.

...

"Qingqing, come out for dinner!"

Her mother's voice came from outside the door. Shen Qingqing threw her phone aside and lay on the bed, yelling back:

"I'm not eating!"

For Shen Qingqing, the past five days had been five days under house arrest. Her parents had not only cancelled all her jobs for those days, they wouldn't even let her leave the house.

"Your dad said to come out and eat, then do whatever you're supposed to do after."

Understanding the subtext, Shen Qingqing finally opened the door and reluctantly followed her mother downstairs to eat.

The family of three rarely sat down for dinner together. Shen Qingqing ate a few bites casually, then got up to leave.

Without even raising his head, Shen's father simply said:

"Come back. Sit down."

Shen Qingqing sat back down with a sullen face.

"Then I'll go marry Qin Wei abroad. I've actually been pretty into her lately, with her it wouldn't be a bad marriage, ha ha ha! That way Dad and Mom you'll have gained another..."

"Shen Qingqing."

Shen's father gritted his teeth and banged the table.

"I treat you as my daughter, yet you treat me as a complete fool, don't you?"

...

"Ah-choo!"

He Hong was spraying on powder. Qin Wei couldn't help letting out a sneeze. She rubbed her nose and looked at herself in the mirror. She had to admit, He Hong did makeup pretty professionally.

Not only did it conceal the bruises on her face, but the makeup look was clean and natural.

He Hong packed up her things and walked over, lightly squeezing Qin Wei's shoulder.

"It's about time, let's go."

Li Yao and Sun Tiantian were standing at the door. He Hong suddenly pushed the door open, startling both of them and making them jump back several steps.

Sun Tiantian's calf even bumped into the coffee table. Her body tilted back. If not for He Hong hurriedly catching her, she would have fallen over.

Sun Tiantian was flustered and at a loss, but was comforted by He Hong with:

"Be careful, you're not hurt are you?"

Sun Tiantian nodded. She didn't know what to say.

He Hong smiled at her. Her smile was very friendly, yet it always made Sun Tiantian feel an invisible oppressive force.

"Thank you for everything you did today."

As He Hong spoke, she took out her business card and leaned down to place it on the coffee table.

"My company is preparing for an MV shoot. We need a sweet and cute girl for the female lead. Miss Sun fits what I'm looking for very well. If interested, have your agent come sign the contract tomorrow morning. I look forward to working with Miss Sun."

After speaking, He Hong walked out. Li Yao hurried to the door to open it, then stood aside, signaling the two ladies to exit first.

Qin Wei's five friends were still standing in the hallway. Seeing her come out, they all looked concerned.

While waiting for the elevator, Auntie Zhou asked:

"Little Qin, you're leaving now?"

Auntie Zhou looked reluctant to part, and even started wiping away tears. Her mood affected the other four ladies, and they all became emotional together.

"Auntie, I'm just going to work, not off to war. Don't worry, I'll come visit whenever I have time. Help me look after Tiantian in the meantime, with her social anxiety it's hard for her to make friends..."

Before she could finish, the other aunties seemed even sadder. Auntie Chen kept nodding and wiping away tears:

"Child, go, don't worry, we're here..."

Auntie Liu: "Waaah..."

Auntie Tang: "..."

Qin Wei: "..."
