Qiu Ruolan paused for a moment and nodded slightly. After the birthday party, she began to regret her decision, and this regret forced her to unconditionally accept all the demands made by Autumn Wind.
Seeing Qiu Ruolan agree, Autumn Wind smiled, stood up, and said lightly, "Then I will go to your apartment early tomorrow morning and we can go to work together!" With that, she strode up the stairs, ignoring Qiu Ruolan's puzzled gaze behind her.
As soon as she stepped through the door, Autumn Wind became listless.
The confidence, brilliance, and pride she had just displayed in front of Qiu Ruolan vanished in an instant. She felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. "Thud," she collapsed onto the bed and began to cry uncontrollably. Her heart felt as if it had been swept by a cold wind, piercing her bones, tearing at her heart, and splitting her lungs.
Would she really have to become a stranger to Qiu Ruolan from now on?
Early the next morning, Autumn Wind didn’t wait for Fish to wake her up. She got ready early and stood in the living room. Sister Liu prepared breakfast, which she hurriedly ate a few bites of before ordering Uncle Liu to take her to the MRT Station two kilometers away in the Villa Area. She wanted to become an assistant hiding behind a star once again.
When she arrived at the entrance of Qiu Ruolan's apartment, Fish called her immediately, exclaiming, "What are you doing? What kind of nonsense are you up to so early in the morning..."
There were faint voices around Fish. Autumn Wind frowned slightly, sensing something was off but still replied calmly, "Didn't I tell you that I am becoming an assistant again from now on?" Her tone was as tranquil as a lake in spring.
"Qiu Wendy, don't go crazy on me. Come back quickly..." Fish continued to shout.
What greeted her was a cold snort from Autumn Wind followed by the harsh mechanical sound of the call disconnecting.
"..." Fish Duo stared blankly at the phone before slowly putting it down. She looked up and met Qiu Hai's deep gaze.
"What happened? Did she hang up?" Qiu Hai asked with a furrowed brow. Fish nodded gently in response, sighed deeply, and took out an envelope from the desk, tossing it in front of Fish. "This is your salary for the past few months!"
Panicking, Fish opened it to find a check without a name or date filled out. Counting with her fingers—one, two, three, four... it turned out to be five hundred thousand!
Fish's eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn't believe it was real. Her mouth slightly agape, she looked at Qiu Hai.
Qiu Hai slightly nodded and waved his hand to signal the fish to leave. However, just as the fish reached the door, Qiu Hai called out, "Hey, I’ll be counting on you for future matters..."
The fish was taken aback, her mind racing as she quickly understood. "Don't worry, Qiu Dong..." She turned and left.
Qiu Ruolan had been waiting in the luxurious chauffeur-driven car downstairs for Autumn Wind's arrival. She waved to Autumn Wind, who quickly got into the car, and they sped away.
Today, Qiu Ruolan was going to the HK concert venue for a rehearsal.
Autumn Wind sat in the car with her head bowed and eyes downcast, looking humble. Yet inside her, that voice surged again: Kill her, avenge yourself and your parents!
This voice lingered in her ears, refusing to fade away. After taking a few deep breaths, she finally adjusted her state of mind.
She looked up at Qiu Ruolan, who was also looking at her.
Qiu Ruolan cleared her throat and spoke before Autumn Wind could say anything: "There are many ways for us to interact besides you being my assistant; it doesn’t have to be limited to this..."
There are many ways to interact, but there is only one way to defeat you, crush you, and kill you invisibly.
Autumn Wind silently thought, yet her face remained calm. She smiled brightly at Qiu Ruolan and said, "But this method is the most effective for me!"
It seemed like she was talking to herself but also addressing Qiu Ruolan. "Serving tea and water, standing behind others has always been my forte!"
Qiu Ruolan was momentarily stunned and fell silent.
The car finally stopped at Ju Egg. The bodyguards cleared the way, blocking the enthusiastic fans cheering on both sides. Autumn Wind lowered her head and followed behind Qiu Ruolan; her figure easily got lost in the bustling crowd.
In the end, she could not compete with Qiu Ruolan's brilliance. Perhaps mediocrity would forever be Autumn Wind's label. However, from now on, beneath that mediocrity surged a heart that Autumn Wind found hard to calm and a gaze that occasionally projected sharpness.
Qiu Ruolan ultimately felt indebted to Autumn Wind, so she arranged for the agency to assign five additional assistants, two of whom were specifically designated to serve Autumn Wind.
Autumn Wind did not go backstage but chose to sit in the audience, watching the busy figures on stage.
When she realized that the two assistants were standing respectfully behind her, a smile involuntarily crept onto Autumn Wind's lips, though a wave of bitterness rose within her.
Her phone lit up with a message from Yu, asking about Autumn Wind's location.
She swiped the touchscreen and lightly typed out her location. With a "ding," the message was sent.
After finishing another dance rehearsal, Huang Zihe did not go backstage to rest but jumped off the stage and headed straight for Autumn Wind. A clean white towel draped around his neck contrasted with his sweaty face, making his handsome features even more captivating.
When he smiled, his eyes were as charming as a crescent moon. Autumn Wind was taken aback, and guilt surged within her; his expression was strikingly similar to Li Gu's.
"Hi... I didn't expect you to accompany Sister Sally to the rehearsal!" Huang Zihe said as he lifted the towel to gently wipe the sweat from his face.
Her smile widened again, but there was an added coldness in her bright eyes. "It will be like this from now on..."
Huang Zihe was taken aback and furrowed his brow as he looked at Autumn Wind. She chuckled softly and continued, "I am now her assistant..." Perhaps because Autumn Wind knew that this "assistant" role was not truly an assistant's position, her tone carried a certain weight.
However, Huang Zihe still understood clearly. He looked up at Autumn Wind and noticed something unusual in her eyes; they lacked the clarity they had just days ago and were instead clouded and sinister. Could this be her true self?
Huang Zihe pondered silently. Behind him, at the entrance of the stage, a flurry of footsteps sounded. Turning around, he saw a tall and fit figure illuminated by the stage lights, shielding their eyes with a hand—it was Qiu Hai!
Instinctively, Huang Zihe glanced behind Qiu Hai but did not see Liu Jian's figure. His furrowed brow slowly relaxed as a plan formed in his mind...
With Qiu Hai's appearance, chaos erupted both on and off stage. The other two members of Y() entered from backstage under their manager's guidance. With just a glance exchanged, Huang Zihe jumped over to join them, forming a line as they walked toward Qiu Hai.
The concert director approached and shook Qiu Hai's hand, saying, "It is truly uplifting to have Qiu Dong here today!"
Such a flowery tone made Qiu Hai quite uncomfortable. He nodded and smiled, saying nothing.
He glanced at Autumn Wind, who was sitting quietly in the front row of the audience. Just as the news reported, despite already knowing, he still feigned surprise, "Ah, oh, Autumn Wind... Sister Qiu is actually here..."
Autumn Wind took a deep breath, slightly closed her eyes, and tried to adjust her breathing, searching for the most appropriate tone. After a while, she softly said, "What? Can't I be here?" As she spoke, her eyes opened, but her body shrank back in shock at the sight of Qiu Hai's deep-set face.
"Sister Qiufeng, what a refined mood you have! Are you lost in some kind of reverie with your eyes closed?" His tone carried the usual mockery. Without giving Autumn Wind a chance to respond, Qiu Hai continued, "It's no wonder. With such dedication to hk's efforts, closing your eyes for a moment to rest is truly not too much to ask!"
Efforts for hk! What does that mean? Her previously narrowed eyes widened in shock as she looked at Qiu Hai in terror.
Autumn Wind's fear once again drew a cold sneer from Qiu Hai. "Did Sister Qiufeng forget? Didn't you want to have the same treatment as the other shareholders? This concert has been entrusted to you!"
"Me?" Autumn Wind sprang up from her seat, her carefully concealed cold demeanor instantly crumbling.
Qiu Hai nodded and turned to walk down the long corridor toward the exit.
"Hey... you better explain yourself!" Autumn Wind shouted, following behind him without any semblance of dignity.
Qiu Hai walked straight to his car without closing the door, anticipating that Autumn Wind would follow him to the front of the vehicle.
Sure enough, Autumn Wind got into the car and immediately asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?" Accompanying her question was a project proposal handed to her.
Reaching out to take it, Autumn Wind pulled the thin sheet of paper directly from Qiu Hai's hand without looking and folded it before tossing it back at him.
Qiu Hai was not angry; he smiled slightly. "Since Sister Qiufeng doesn't want to look at it, let me simply tell you..."
"No need, aren't you just going to tell me that for the concert of y(), we, HK, are the promoters, and to maximize the group's interests, you are handing over the supervision work to me..." Autumn Wind directly interrupted Qiu Hai's words, speaking slowly.
Qiu Hai did not deny that he was shocked when he heard Autumn Wind say these words, yet he still maintained his composure and said, "How do you know such confidential information?"
Autumn Wind sneered, jumping out of the car. She occasionally teased Qiu Hai on purpose, but when the planning document was handed to her, she suddenly realized that the letters "HK" were prominently printed on Huang Zihe's white towel. If the HK Group did not participate in the concert, how could there be related items appearing among them?
Qiu Hai looked at Autumn Wind's figure, feeling melancholic. He saw Autumn Wind wave her phone at him, and soon his phone rang. The clear yet teasing voice of Autumn Wind came through the call, "Don't have any ideas about the fish, and don't harm their mother and child! Otherwise, I will eat you!"
In the distance, Autumn Wind opened her palm and made a roaring gesture towards Qiu Hai, yet it looked quite cute and made one feel pity.
When Qiu Ruolan came out of the lounge, Autumn Wind had already followed Qiu Hai off the stage. She quickened her pace to the door but saw Autumn Wind making a strange face at Qiu Hai.
Qiu Hai swept away the gloom and coldness from his face and actually smiled at Autumn Wind.
His face was filled with concern and affection; it looked so bright yet strange. A sense of ominous premonition surged in her heart. Could it be that Qiu Hai had already fallen in love with Autumn Wind?
This thought struck like a lightning bolt, hitting Qiu Ruolan directly... No, if that's true, what would Liu Jian do? Wouldn't Qiu Mowen's expectations be dashed?
