Zhou Qianyi is considered a diamond bachelor among unmarried men in Shanghai. His rumors have long demonized him, and those who know him even a little understand that he is not a suitable life partner. The girls who flock to him like moths to a flame are mostly after his money and looks.
Is it worth it to support a capricious man with a hint of wickedness just for his wealth and appearance? If she were to answer, it would definitely be no! She doesn't want her emotions completely controlled by someone else, spending her thoughts and experiences on guessing his preferences and reading his expressions. Just thinking about such a life makes her feel exhausted.
Zou Yang pushed up her glasses and followed behind.
Zhou Qianyi walked in front, and the footsteps behind him made him somewhat irritable. He impatiently said, "What are you following me for?"
Upon hearing Zhou Qianyi's words, Zou Yang immediately thought of herself. “Manager Zhou, it’s not convenient for you to talk today…”
If things got complicated, she would withdraw immediately! Disturbing his good time was not her intention!
Zou Yang quickly turned around, just about to leave.
“Come back!”
Zhou Qianyi's voice rang out, causing Zou Yang to stop in her tracks.
She considered herself unlucky.
Fine, she was about to get scolded by Zhou Qianyi thoroughly. Let him scold her; as long as they could finalize the funding issue, he could say whatever he wanted.
For capitalists like Zhou Qianyi, asking for funds was like cutting off a piece of their flesh. If she took from him, she had to allow him to vent his anger.
After mentally preparing herself, Zou Yang looked back at Zhou Qianyi. “Manager Zhou, is there anything else you need?”
“Get lost!”
Zou Yang: …
Damn! The more he was said to be capricious, the more he wanted to put on a show for her.
The smile on Zou Yang's face faded slightly.
The female artist standing in front of her felt particularly sympathetic towards Zou Yang. Working so late and still being chased away by the boss—if it were her, she would break down!
But those words weren’t directed at her; she felt that the cold-faced Zhou Qianyi was exploding like the domineering CEO from the idol dramas she acted in. The female artist couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Zhou Qianyi.
What she never expected was that her gaze met Zhou Qianyi's directly. Before she could even blush or have her heart race, Zhou Qianyi coldly said, “Didn’t you hear?”
The artist froze at those words.
Was Manager Zhou just speaking to her? But on the way back, Manager Zhou never indicated that he wanted to chase her away.
She looked at Zhou Qianyi in disbelief. “Zhou… Manager Zhou…”
Zhou Qianyi waved his hand impatiently at her, "If you don't want to be erased from the entertainment industry, disappear from my sight immediately."
The artist's career had just begun, and she had signed with a studio that was currently thriving. As long as she was willing to work hard, even if she couldn't become a huge star, there would still be plenty of offers coming her way.
She was worried that Zhou Qianyi would blacklist her and quickly left the villa.
As her footsteps faded away, Zou Yang came back to her senses; the situation had turned around too quickly! She had initially thought that Zhou Qianyi was trying to rush her.
What had just happened made Zou Yang even more certain that Zhou Qianyi was a person of unpredictable moods. He might have been affectionate with that girl in the car, but after getting out, he completely turned his back on her. A man like that could never provide a girl with a sense of security.
When looking for a boyfriend, one must stay away from such men!
She sensed that Zhou Qianyi was in a bad mood and stood still, observing him quietly.
Zhou Qianyi glanced at her, loosened his tie and tossed it onto the sofa. He sat down on the couch, resting his elbows on the armrests and pinching the bridge of his nose. "Go get me a glass of water."
Zou Yang thought Zhou Qianyi was instructing the driver.
Not seeing the driver come over, she looked around her.
At this moment, there was no sign of the driver.
Where did he go? Couldn't he at least say goodbye before disappearing?!
With the driver absent, fetching water fell to Zou Yang.
It was her first time at Zhou Qianyi's villa. She placed the documents on the coffee table in front of the sofa and asked Zhou Qianyi, "Where's the kitchen?"
Zhou Qianyi raised his hand and pointed.
Zou Yang followed his finger.
The villa did not have an open kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, she found it spotless and clearly rarely used.
She took a cup from the cabinet, poured warm water for Zhou Qianyi, and handed it to him.
Zhou Qianyi took it and said, "I'm cold."
"I'll turn on the air conditioning for you."
It was deep winter; the villa felt very cold and empty. Zou Yang went to look for the remote control.
"Don't turn on the air conditioning."
"How can you keep warm without it?"
Was he drunk? Was his mind not clear?
After saying that, Zou Yang realized her tone was a bit harsh.
She had come to him with a request and needed to show him great patience. "Where's your room? I'll get you a thicker piece of clothing."
Without turning on the air conditioning, she could only add more layers.
Zhou Qianyi pointed across to the fireplace. "Use that."
Zou Yang: !!!
Although Zou Yang had seen fireplaces on television and envied those who could sit by one in winter, returning to reality meant she only used air conditioning and underfloor heating for warmth. Asking her to light a fireplace felt like a first-time bride sitting in a flower palanquin.
She might end up burning herself; as long as she didn't set Zhou Qianyi's villa on fire, she'd count herself lucky.
"Manager Zhou, this thing is quite fashionable."
"Burn it."
Zhou Qianyi was succinct.
Zou Yang was about to say she had never burned such a thing, but Zhou Qianyi's finger tapped on the document.
Before coming to the villa to find Zhou Qianyi, Zou Yang had already contacted him and explained the reason for coming to Hai City.
This action was clearly a threat.
Zou Yang swallowed his words, "I'll get the fireplace going right away!"
Zou Yang pulled out his phone to check how to light the fireplace.
Zhou Qianyi rubbed his leg.
In his youth, he had been thrown into the snow by his father and stepmother, and his legs had been frozen with frostbite, leaving him with a lingering problem.
Whenever the weather turned cold, he would feel a bone-chilling cold in his legs; only sitting in front of the fireplace, warmed by the fire, could alleviate that chill somewhat.
Although it wasn't very cold tonight, his legs felt extremely cold.
"Hurry up."
Zhou Qianyi urged.
"Okay!" Zou Yang replied quickly, glancing at the steps he found on his phone. "Manager Zhou, what did that girl do wrong to upset you?"
"Are you planning to become a gossip reporter?"
"I have thought about it, but my family doesn't agree."
Zou Yang's life plan was entirely mapped out by her mother; she followed it step by step without ever resisting.
When she wanted to switch careers to become an entertainment reporter, her mother was the first to cry over it!
Zou Yang noted down the steps and began searching for items needed to light the fireplace nearby. "Manager Zhou, you should be gentler with girls. If she upset you, you can make her light the fireplace as punishment, but there's no need to speak so harshly to her. Didn't you see her eyes were red when she left?"
She probably cried before even getting out of the villa.
If she held a grudge against him, he would have to coax her properly.
"Making her light the fireplace means you won't have to lift a finger?"
"Still, Manager Zhou understands me."
