Chapter 65 The Adulterer Qin Xiu

Hearing the door open, Jiang Xinghe turned around and looked at 2301, where he saw Gu Zhen leaning against the door frame, his stray hairs almost touching the frame.
"Brother Zhen?"
Jiang Xinghe walked towards Gu Zhen, holding his phone.
He casually wiped Patrick Star's face, which made Patrick Star so angry that he breathed on him.
"They say pets resemble their owners, but how come our gentlemanly Zhen got such a fierce creature like Patrick Star?"
Patrick: Aim!
Stupid!
You know nothing about my master's true nature!
Gu Zhen gently patted Patrick's head to comfort it, then, without looking up, tried to get information out of Jiang Xinghe: "You're wearing slippers, are you going to... Li Xi's house?"
Jiang Xinghe felt a chill run down his spine.
He looked like he'd seen a ghost and demanded of Gu Zhen, "How did you know? Did you install a listening device in my house?"
Jiang Xinghe looked at Gu Zhen as if he were looking at a refined scoundrel, a complete pervert.
"You were just asking Li Xi for her house password," Gu Zhen said. "I wasn't listening in; I was eavesdropping."
"...Is eavesdropping something to be proud of? I'm telling you, the more I get to know you, the more I find you to be a scoundrel."
"Only a young girl like Li Xi would think you're a pure and noble gentleman." Jiang Xinghe glanced at Gu Zhen's chest and said sarcastically, "If you ask me, you're a wicked little devil."
"He's definitely putting on a show of being refined, elegant, and gentlemanly in front of Li Xi on purpose."
Gu Zhen did not refute it.
Because what Jiang Xinghe said was true.
"Let's go." Gu Zhen picked up Patrick Star and walked towards the elevator.
Jiang Xinghe was stunned. "Where are you going?"
"Go to Li Xi's house."
Jiang Xinghe objected, saying, "This won't do! Li Xi asked me to help her family with some things, but she didn't tell me to invite you. Why are you getting involved?"
"Besides, you're just chasing her, you haven't actually won her over. Your actions are illegitimate, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Xinghe kept rambling on and on, refusing to take Gu Zhen to Li Xi's house no matter what he said.
Mainly, he's helping Li Xi do bad things.
What girl doesn't want to leave a perfect impression on her crush?
If Gu Zhen catches Li Xi doing something bad and ruins Li Xi's grand plan to pursue her, then he deserves to die.
He had to live up to Li Xi's trust.
Gu Zhen saw right through his thoughts, "You're going to Li Xi's house to help her do bad things, aren't you?"
Jiang Xinghe: "..."
Oh shit!
Is the "Rent Collector" a drug-detecting dog?
This dog has such a keen sense of smell!
“Li Xi is a single woman, and this is my rented apartment. Who are you to Li Xi? You have no legitimate relationship with her, and I don’t trust you to go to Li Xi’s house without permission.”
“As the landlord, I’ll go and supervise.” After saying that, Gu Zhen entered the elevator.
Jiang Xinghe braced himself and chased after him, then quickly asked Li Xi online whether or not to let Gu Zhen in.
Li Xi replied quickly: "It's alright, he knows what kind of person I am."
Li Xi had no intention of pretending to be a good girl in front of Gu Zhen.
It's all fake.
She wanted Gu Zhen to accept her as a person, inside and out.
With Li Xi's permission, Jiang Xinghe took Gu Zhen to her house and went straight to the study, where he found the white folder on the bookshelf.
He also saw the manila documents on another bookshelf, but Jiang Xinghe didn't touch them or even glance at them.
Gu Zhen observed Jiang Xinghe's every move.
Finally, he came to a conclusion—
This is a guy who seems carefree and irresponsible, but is actually very sensible and respects people's privacy.
Although Jiang Xinghe was not favored by the Jiang family from birth, he was more well-mannered than Jiang Qingkong.

On the other side, Dixi also met Li Xi.
She knew Yun Ge's real information, knew that Li Xi lived in Dongzhou City, knew that her name was Li Xi, and knew that she had just turned 22 this year.
But what she didn't know was that Li Xi was incredibly beautiful!
"Yun Ge, you never told me you were a great beauty!" Dixi had imagined what Li Xi looked like.
She had also added Li Xi on WeChat, but never saw Li Xi post any photos on her Moments, and even suspected that Li Xi was insecure about her appearance.
Little did anyone know, she herself was actually incredibly beautiful.
With looks like that, she could easily be a star.
Li Xi smiled and said, "These are all unimportant things. After all, 'Seven Days of Nightmare' was created with my brain and hands, not with my appearance."
Dixie clicked her tongue in amazement and shook her head, saying, "If I had known you were this beautiful, I would have rushed to Dongzhou City to knock on your door and dragged you on a signing tour all over Asia!"
"With your looks alone, you're guaranteed to sell over 20 million copies of your comic book."
Li Xi couldn't take it anymore and said, "Stop making fun of me."
Getting back to the main point, Li Xi asked Dixi, "Is our boss, President Wan, in the company?"
When it came to serious matters, Dixie's smile vanished.
“Yun Ge.” Dixi found it difficult to say.
"Are you trying to tell me that the person in charge of Zhaixing Entertainment is here today?"
Dixie was somewhat surprised. "How did you know?"
She instinctively guessed what had happened. "Did Xiao Tang tell you?"
Li Xi shook her head and said naturally, "I happen to know people from Zhaixing Entertainment, and they've mentioned this matter to me."
"On my way here, I saw Dongzhou's license plate number and guessed that someone from their company had come."
Dixi believed it to be true, "As expected of Yun Ge, she is meticulous and intelligent."
"You're right, the person in charge of Zhaixing Entertainment did come." After a pause, Dixi leaned close to Li Xi's ear and said mysteriously, "They seem to value this project a lot. Guess who they sent?"
"Xie Xingyun?" Li Xi subconsciously uttered the name of this jinx.
Dixie shook her head. "Guess again."
"It couldn't be Xie Jiaoyue, could it?"
"No, but his status is similar to Xie Jiaoyue's." Dixie stopped being mysterious and said, "It's Qin Xiu!"
Qin Xiu, the top star and shareholder of Zhaixing Entertainment, is Xie Mingzong's godson.
At the same time, he was also Xie Mingzong's wife's secret lover.
Upon hearing this name, Li Xi's foul mood instantly brightened. "It's Qin Xiu..."
Li Xi followed Dixi into the elevator, a bright but mischievous smile playing on her lips. "It's him! That's wonderful!"
Dixi noticed that Li Xi couldn't help but smile as soon as she heard Qin Xiu's name; her smile was full of joy.
She was secretly delighted. "Is Yun Ge a fan of Qin Xiu?"
If she's a fan of Qin Xiu, then this matter will be much easier to handle.
Li Xi tilted her head and said with a half-smile, "If haters count as fans, then I guess I am."
Dixie was taken aback.
what?
That would truly be an inauspicious start, like someone who didn't consult the almanac before setting out.
The animation company has five floors.
The first and second floors are the office area, where the editors mainly work.
The third floor is Mr. Wan's office area, and also where Guanman Company receives VIP guests. The fourth floor is a hall used for holding events, and the fifth floor is the company's employee activity room.
Dixi led Li Xi directly to the VIP conference room on the third floor.
Dixi knocked on the door, alerting the people inside: "Mr. Wan, Mr. Qin, Yun Ge is here."
Upon hearing this, President Wan gave Qin Xiu a knowing smile that we all understood, and said with a double meaning, "Yun Ge is a young girl who is only 22 years old, and she is also from Dongzhou."
"Mr. Qin is also from Dongzhou, right? If you were to negotiate the cooperation, Yun Ge would definitely agree."
He was implying to Qin Xiu that Yun Ge was just a young girl in her early twenties.
Despite his fame, he was still young and vulnerable.
You are all from Dongzhou, and you are a big star. When you negotiate later, you should use both soft and hard tactics.
She's just a little girl; a little scare will do the trick.
