CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: PEI YAN COMES AFTER THEM

"Yuanyuan, let’s go." Qin Yun reined in her aura and pulled Yuanyuan away.

After taking a few steps, as if remembering something, she said, "I forgot to mention, I’ve already terminated my contract with Emperor Entertainment, so you can accompany President Zhang yourself. Besides, the person I’m meeting tonight is Yuanyuan. But even without that, I don’t care for your little tricks."

Having said that, she briskly turned around.

"..."

The air fell silent.

Sister Li, the agent, upon hearing this, widened her eyes, wanting to say something but feeling as though her throat wasn’t under her control, unable to speak.

By the time she gathered herself, she found the two had already walked far away.

Yuanyuan followed closely behind Qin Yun, her eyes sparkling with admiration, and said, "Sister Yun, I think you were especially imposing just now, even more so than when you’re acting in dramas."

"It wasn’t acting." Qin Yun ruffled her hair irritably, then asked, "What were you thinking, just quitting your job like that?"

"Wasn’t it to advance and retreat together with Sister Yun? I guessed you were going to terminate the contract, so I drafted my resignation letter in advance. If you made it, I’d submit it to HR, but if not, I’d just tear it up." Yuanyuan proudly tilted her chin as she spoke.

"So when I messaged you, you were at the entrance of human resources?"

Otherwise, how could she have done everything so quickly?

"You can’t hide anything from you." Yuanyuan scratched her head, embarrassed.

"Sister Yun, you don’t need to feel burdened, my resignation has nothing to do with you. I’ve wanted to resign for a long time. I just stayed because, if I had left earlier, you’d be alone with no one to take care of you, and you’d be exploited by them. So I didn’t leave. Over the past two years, I’ve saved quite a bit, and I’m planning to go into business; the entertainment industry is too complicated."

"You’ve told me everything, and it’s all arranged clearly." Qin Yun looked at the young girl in front of her, only in her twenties, suddenly at a loss for words.

She was moved by a young girl several times.

"You call me Sister Yun, how could I really let you go hungry when you go back? Let’s go, I’ll treat you to something delicious." Qin Yun glanced at her watch, grabbed Yuanyuan by the neck, asking, "What do you want to eat? I’ll buy it all for you: sea cucumbers, abalone, king crabs, take your pick."

This was a rare moment for a little Taotie to share food with others, a once-in-a-hundred-years event.

Normally, getting even a little was considered pretty good; sharing food with a little Taotie was something even in the Heavenly Court was impossible.

Yuanyuan’s first reaction was happiness, but then she hesitantly asked, "Sister Yun, did you find money? You just terminated your contract, spending so much money. Maybe we should just eat at a food stall, they taste pretty good."

Qin Yun twitched her mouth; even though she was a bit broke a few days ago, now she’s a bit of a rich girl. Naturally, she’d eat something good, and the stalls can wait as a supper.

"The termination didn’t cost money, so don’t worry about it. Your sister now has money, whatever you want to eat, I can afford it."

After all, she’s terminated the contract and couldn’t use the company’s car, so she waved to stop a car, said to Yuanyuan, "Whatever you want to eat, just tell the driver the address."

They got into the car, and the driver asked where to go.

"I didn’t think of anything." Yuanyuan said, disappointed.

Normally she had lots she wanted to eat, but now that she was asked, she couldn’t remember a single one.

"Then let’s go to the place with the most food nearby." Qin Yun thought for a second, said.

The driver immediately set off.

Qin Yun’s phone rang.

She glanced at it, raised her eyebrows, answered, "What’s up?"

"Ji Ming said the termination agreement was signed, where are you?" Pei Yan asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, it’s signed. I’m in a taxi, going to dinner with Yuanyuan." Qin Yun, although a bit puzzled why Pei Yan was asking, answered honestly.

Pei Yan said, "Send me the address."

Qin Yun speechless, "Why? Are you coming? Aren’t you in S City?"

He continued, "I just landed, coming to pick you up."

Their question and answer felt familiar, like old friends.

Yuanyuan, curious yet restrained, occasionally cast glances at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun said irritably, "Brother, your persona collapsed! We don’t seem that familiar, do we?"

"You agreed, didn’t you? Besides, about our relationship, are you unsure whether we’re close?" Pei Yan replied casually.

Qin Yun: "..."

"You haven’t even started yet, but I’ve already invested first, the balance isn’t right! I disagree! Consider the lawyer you borrowed as payment for my past fees."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Looking up, she met Yuanyuan’s curious gaze, "Sister Yun, who was that?"

"Little one, don’t snoop around." Qin Yun raised her hand, letting her head tilt to the other side.

They reached the place, chose a pretty good restaurant, mainly because Qin Yun saw plenty of live king crabs and lobsters at the entrance, their lively postures enticing, saying: Come eat me~

Qin Yun’s eyes lit up, licking the corner of her lips, immediately decided, "This is the place."

Qin Yun ordered twenty dishes, Yuanyuan hurriedly stopped her in fright, barely keeping her from ordering more.

Yuanyuan looked at the bill printed out, her face mournful, "Sister Yun, this meal, my month’s salary is gone..."

"What’s there to panic about? This is just a little bit, not even enough to fill my teeth gaps." Qin Yun glanced at her, said casually.

Yuanyuan: "..."

Yuanyuan, who didn’t quite understand Qin Yun’s appetite, looked pained, so much food would be wasted if they couldn’t finish.

Even if they packed it up, it would last for days.

Qin Yun didn’t get Yuanyuan’s sadness, once the food arrived, she simply said, "Eat, eat, whatever’s left, we’ll talk after eating."

Meanwhile, Pei Yan, whose plane had just landed, looked at the hung-up phone, his face darkening.

In his mind, Little C was still chirping, "Your Highness, only three hours and twenty minutes left."

"Shut up! Say another word, and I’ll find a hotel to lie down instead of going anywhere." Pei Yan, annoyed by the noise, said grimly.

Little C, startled, pursed its lips, no longer daring to speak.

Pei Yan, while leaving the airport, called someone to check where Qin Yun went after leaving Emperor Entertainment.

The hacker retrieved surveillance and found her getting into a taxi; Pei Yan suddenly remembered and reactivated his card, so whenever Qin Yun used it to pay, he’d receive a notification on where she spent.

As the hacker continued swimming in the sea of surveillance, Pei Yan’s phone received a notification.

[Your account *4382 paid 4352 yuan at A City’s Changhe New Ocean branch...]

Pei Yan tightened his grip on the phone, pursed his lips, messaged his subordinates: [No need to search, I know where it is.]

Then left the airport, got into his ride, and headed straight to the destination.
