Bamboo horse is not a gentleman

Chapter 28

"Diane Express Hotel?" Yuan Qing was taken aback, her heart trembling slightly.

"Yeah, I didn't know what leader I offended, so I fired him in the morning. Xiaofeng is still in school, and the annual tuition and board expenses depend on your dad's salary. If he loses his job, what will the family do?"

Amid Wang Yuqian's cries, Yuan Qing fell into deep thought. Ever since he lived under the same roof as Lu Bai, the confusing mystery of his life experience gradually enveloped him like a mist.

From Lucheng to Anqing, everywhere.

"Qing'er, mom is old and has no skills. I know you are upset because of the previous incident, but for the sake of him raising you for so many years, and for my sake, please help your dad!"

"Understood. Don't be in a hurry." Yuan Qing was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

After cutting off the call, Yuan Qing sat on the sofa, waiting for Lu Bai to come out of the bathroom.

"What are you dazed for?"

Lu Bai, who took off his bathrobe, put on a windbreaker and jeans, and stood in front of him with a calm expression.

Yuan Qing raised her head, as if she wanted to see something from the man's night sky-like eyes, but those eyes were like a mirror, only reflecting her own bewildered expression.

"I heard from my mother that my stepfather was fired by the Diane Express Hotel."

"Oh, is that so?" Lu Bai said lightly.

"If he makes noise at home every day, my mother will be even more uneasy."

"Yuan Qing, I just want to ask you a question."

"what?"

"Would you like to let Auntie live with you, or continue to live in the Xu family?"

Yuan Qing was completely stunned by Lu Bai's words, and in the blink of an eye, she suddenly understood his intentions and knew that he had read her thoughts.

"I..." Yuan Qing opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Some people should separate as soon as possible. Some things will not come true if they are not forced."

Yuan Qing wanted to laugh and cry, as expected, Lu Bai knew her best in this world, and the person she didn't know least was also this guy.

"Would you like to go to that event with me today?"

"Will this...will make Xia Weiwei unhappy?"

"Xia Weiwei has already left." Lu Bai said lightly, "I received her resignation letter yesterday."

Yuan Qing finally understood why writer Lu Da insisted on dragging him to collect folk songs.

It's really his old man who is too unpopular!Even the leader of the team, who is sunny and full of smiles, doesn’t talk to Lu Da writers, let alone those platinum-level masters. Since the self-esteem of the beautiful writers has been hit hard by the failure to talk to handsome guys, in order to save face, they have become proud. Peacock simply ignored Lu Bai.

And she, as Lu Da's poor little assistant, was completely forgotten by them like dust.The only thing that surprised her was that the green rabbit was also in the collection team.It's a pity that this talented girl with fluttering hair and delicate features was put on the blacklist because of Lu Da's unrespectable and cold attitude, and she was ignored at all!
The itinerary of today’s wind-collecting activity is to visit the famous and beautiful Lenghai Park in Anqing City. The whole team seems to be in high spirits. The authors behind the ups and downs of the words are like children on a spring outing. Excited smiles, of course, except for Yuan Qing and Lu Bai.

From elementary school to high school, whether it was spring outing or autumn outing, Yuan Qing spent time in Lenghai Park. Every year, two compositions after the outing had described the park’s spring and autumn scenes in as much detail as possible. As for closing your eyes, you can imagine what it looks like.Writer Lu Da's complexion became even worse. He didn't even bring his mobile phone, and put his hands in his pockets, walking unsteadily at the back of the line.

Yuan Qing had a feeling that everyone else was there to play, but she was like a refugee from the end of the world. After walking a hundred and eight thousand miles, she was still followed by a zombie.

"Please stop for a moment." The beautiful and flowery little team leader said in front of the team with a loudspeaker.

Yuan Qing just walked with her head buried and almost bumped into the green rabbit in front of her. When she raised her head, she saw everyone stopped at a hotel.

The name of the hotel is familiar - "Diane".

Yuan Qing could feel Lu Bai's low pressure without turning his head.

"Dear writers, we all know that this event is sponsored by the Diane Hotel under the Yaoyang Group. After you have visited the picturesque Lengyan Lake, please don't forget to use your wonderful pens to describe Take a look at Diane, who is surrounded by beautiful scenery, so that more people can understand this antique hotel full of modern features and cultural atmosphere!"

Leaders and writers seem to have the same knack for beautifying everything.

No matter how subtle the rhetoric is, it cannot conceal its real meaning: whoever pays can get praise.

Unfortunately, the literati who see themselves as noble and disdain to please their sponsors have little harmony.

After returning from Lengyan Lake, Lu Bai started to pack his luggage without saying a word.

"There are still two days left for the trip?" Yuan Qing asked anxiously.

"This kind of full-fledged activity should have ended long ago." Writer Lu Da stuffed the last shirt in the mobile closet into the suitcase, "Let's go, we should be in time for the last train now."

"If you go away like this, if it is reported by the reporter of "Metropolis Daily", you will cause a lot of trouble. Why bother!"

"In these years, I have worked hard to catch up on manuscripts, lived a thrifty life, and did not have any bad habits. Even if I can no longer write, I will not starve to death on the street."

Yuan Qing grasped Lu Bai's hand:

"I still remember how much you wanted to be a lawyer at the beginning, so you applied for the major of law and immersed yourself in various legal provisions all day long, but later you gave up your favorite major for writing. Do you want to give up easily now? Why? Shoot yourself in the foot, stay, just give yourself a chance to breathe fresh air, okay?"

Lu Bai's pupils were very deep, and a strange color flashed across them, and then they were hidden again.

In the end, Writer Lu Da chose to stay in Anqing to complete the activities for the next two days.

Fortunately, there was no such itinerary similar to advertising after that.

Before returning to Lucheng, Yuan Qing stood downstairs of Xu's house for a long time, but he still didn't go upstairs after all, but just made a phone call:
"Mom, I'm going back."

"Oh... Make a call after you get back. Mom is fine with everything, so don't worry, work hard and get married early." On the phone, Wang Yuqian's voice was hollow and mechanical, as if Xu Hu was right next to her.

"Goodbye." Restraining his intense emotions, Yuan Qing hung up the phone.

Looking at the scene of speeding backwards outside the window, I remembered that when I went to Anqing, the three of them were still companions. Apart from this scene in Anqing, what happened between Xia Weiwei and Lu Bai?

"Xia Weiwei won't really stop coming, will she?"

"Yeah." Lu Bai looked down at the phone.

"I think, I won't have to go back to Anqing for a long, long time."

Lu Bai raised his head, saw the blank expression on Qingmei's round face, and couldn't help but hold her hand:
"You still have me."

Yuan Qing turned her head and met the man's deep eyes, what she wanted to say stayed on the tip of her tongue:
How long can I have you?
An Qing's page has passed, and Yuan Qing has returned to Chapter Lucheng to continue her assistant career.

Lu Bai continued to catch up with the manuscripts of all parties, so busy that he was so busy day and night that even his chin stubble appeared. Xia Weiwei's departure didn't seem to have caused him any loss.

Until Xiao Yang called:

"Yuan Qing, have you read the newspaper?"

"what happened?"

"Did Lu Bai go back to his hometown to participate in some folk gathering activities?"

"Yeah, don't you know?"

"There was a report in the newspaper, saying that during the event, Lu Bai played a big role and refused to stay in the same hotel as other writers. Even during the event, his schedule was affected because of his arrogant attitude, which made the companions very upset. Dissatisfied! What is going on here?"

Yuan Qing's heart sank:

"Which newspaper reported it?"

"Metropolis."

"Who is the reporter?"

"The reporter is...Chang Shan, no way, that disgusting little boy from last time, isn't he a reporter for "Lucheng Daily"? Why is he also writing articles for "Metropolis Daily"? Also, this Chang Shan is crazy Or something, didn't he have something to be caught by Dabai? Why do you keep holding on to Dabai!"

"it's him."

"This man is so fucking infuriating! Tell Dabai to be careful and prevent him from doing bad things again."

"I will definitely tell him!"

Xiao Yang was indignant, but Yuan Qing was already furious.

Chang Shan looks like a gentleman, gentle as jade, but he is a vicious master.At this time, even if the interview recording is used to prove that this man is shameless and has no lower limit, it may not be able to restore Lu Bai's reputation, and maybe it will be used by someone with a heart to take the opportunity to spy on his silent past.In the eyes of the world, no matter what happened to a person with a bad reputation in the past, even if it is only a slight flaw, it is a topic for people to talk about after dinner.

Ultimately, however, it was her own fault.

She shouldn't have poured that cup of coffee on Chang Shan, intensifying the conflict between them.Yuan Qing deeply regrets her reckless behavior.At this moment, how much she wished that Xia Weiwei would show up. If it was her, she should be able to quickly think of how to deal with it.

Hanging up the phone dejectedly, Yuan Qing hesitated at the door of the study like a mushroom.

At this moment, the door of the study room opened suddenly.

"I heard the sound of your teeth grinding inside, why don't you come in?" Looking up, Lu Bai looked at himself with a half-smile.

Yuan Qing stammered for a long time before saying:
"Chang Shan wrote a report about you in the Metropolitan Daily, saying that you played big names, refused to live in the same hotel as other writers, and refused to cooperate with the event..."

Unexpectedly, Lu Bai's expression was very calm. He stretched out his hand to pinch Yuan Qing's face and stroked her hair:
"So what? I'm just a moderate Internet writer, and this small wave is nothing. Since the other party has made a move, how can I not accept it?"

"It would be great if Xia Weiwei was here."

Lu Bai raised Yuan Qing's chin and rubbed her like dough:
"As my only remaining assistant, I will leave all the work to you in the future. If you do well, I will consider a salary increase."

Yuan Qing's rabbit eyes lit up instinctively.
