DTBS - Chapter 115
Chapter 115: She's Married
The photos the paparazzi took were mercilessly rejected by his boss...
"Delete them all?" He was confused and asked, "Why? If these were published, it would be free traffic!"
"Free traffic? Don't you know that free things are the most terrifying? Are they people we can afford to offend? I'm telling you, delete everything immediately, don't keep any copies, or you're fired."
"Boss, is it that serious?"
"See if I'm serious. You're threatening the company's safety. I can fire you. If there are problems later, I'm telling you, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
"Could the owner of that car be some big shot from Linhai?" He was a little curious.
"You don't need to know that. Just listen to me. Pretend you didn't see this. From now on, any news related to Qin Qingshang must be submitted to me for review first, understood?"
"Got it."
"Now, take out your camera immediately. I'll watch you delete."
"...Okay."
After deleting the photos from the camera, he finally saw off his boss, this great Buddha. He let out a long sigh of relief and plopped down on his chair, checking the cloud backup on his phone.
Although that model of Maybach was a luxury car, it wasn't so luxurious that even his boss would be afraid of it, right?
They were the media! Now, traffic was everything. Even the scions of Linhai's prominent families had to give the media some face. To be honest, apart from business giants like Jiaxing, which had extensive reach across various industries and they dared not touch, they really weren't afraid to report on ordinary capital.
No matter how impressive Qin Qingshang was, she couldn't possibly be connected to a big shot from Jiaxing!
Besides, he didn't believe Qin Qingshang could be that powerful. She was just an actress in the entertainment industry. Real wealthy families rarely considered them. Moreover, Qin Qingshang had a girlfriend. How could she possibly manipulate a big shot and even have them personally drive her to the set?
After all, the actress got out of the car in a hurry, then got back in and stayed for a while. By all appearances, it looked like... they did something.
That big shot was a bit fast! Probably a dissolute person whose body had been hollowed out by wine and women...
Perhaps it was the illegitimate child of a certain big shot, and the boss suppressed the matter out of respect for the big shot.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Even if the probability was only one percent, life was a process of continuous gambling...
He'd gamble!
Take a chance, and a bicycle might turn into a motorcycle! Maybe he'd get a house by the sea?
"Achoo—" Tao Qiuyun sneezed. She took the documents from Wang Huai's hand. "Linhai side..."
"Let's not talk about Linhai, or business," Wang Huai stared at the woman's lips. "Qiuqiu, what happened to your mouth?"
"A cat bit it." Tao Qiuyun pursed her lips, a rare hint of embarrassment on her face. "It's fine, it'll be better in a couple of days. Let's talk business first."
"What business could there be in Linhai?" Wang Huai found it amusing, and for once, didn't talk to her as an assistant. "The four major family businesses control the resources. They are inherently exclusive. Weixiu was a sudden rise due to timing, location, and people. It's not easy for you to intervene again. Do you know how many people were furious when you took ownership of the Hundred-Story Building?"
"You were practically running wild on other people's turf." Wang Huai thought she was bold. She paused, then smiled, "I originally thought Qiuqiu was very strong, but I didn't expect you to allow Miss Qin to bite you so hard in love."
"It was bitten by a stray cat," Tao Qiuyun denied. "Qingshang is very gentle, she wouldn't bite me."
"...Okay, a cat bit it."
Qiuqiu was as stubborn as ever.
The popularity of 《Fluttering Butterfly》 and the edited version of the romance reality show 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》 had pushed Qin Qingshang and Ming Siwen's popularity to an absurd level.
Sister Lan spent all day just sifting through endorsement and variety show invitations.
Wang Huai said there was no business, but still came to Tao Qiuyun with boxes full of documents every day. Although there was nothing in Linhai, CEO Tao, you can continue to work remotely. You didn't think that Secretary Zheng and I could handle everything while you were on the romance show, did you?
The busy Tao Qiuyun had no time to find Qin Qingshang or take her to see the singing bathtub. It was like working from home, with endless documents to process and meetings to attend every day.
However, it could only be said that the wives had tacit understanding. Qin Qingshang was also busy filming and could only video call Tao Qiuyun for a while each night, with no time to leave the set.
Of course, the cat emphasized that they were just having normal conversations, nothing suggestive.
After only a week, Tao Qiuyun couldn't stand it anymore and decisively went to the airport, flying back to Tianhua City.
The Chunjin Group building still felt more comfortable to look at, and work efficiency was much higher.
However, she returned to Tianhua City for another major reason: Tao Aiqin's fifth birthday was approaching.
"You're picking Qinqin up today," the little cat saw Tao Qiuyun coming to the kindergarten to pick her up and immediately squatted down, refusing to move. She reached out for a hug. "So rare~"
System 030: "Dramatic! Did your legs suddenly break and you can't walk? You were fine just now."
Tao Aiqin: "Wow! The AI idiot is actually pointing fingers at humans. What gives you the courage? Is it the main system that only knows how to censor?"
System 030: "The main system doesn't just censor."
Tao Aiqin: "Yes, it also recites poetry."
System 030: "Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic towards it?"
Tao Aiqin: "As long as you know."
"You make me sound terrible," the woman bent down and picked up the little cat, tapping her nose and smiling. "I get up early every day to buy you breakfast and take you to school."
"You only care about work, Qinqin is just an afterthought!" The cat grumbled, not falling for it.
"Then I also tell you stories every night." Tao Qiuyun picked up her white cat backpack. "Is that also an afterthought?"
"Is it because Mama is filming and not answering your calls?" The cat went straight for the kill. "You can't fool me."
"...Who taught you to talk like that?" Tao Qiuyun reached out and pinched her face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "No one in our family talks in such an annoying way."
The little cat swatted away her hand and pressed her face against her neck. "What about Auntie Xiang? Is Auntie Xiang not eating with us tonight?"
"How long have you been staying at her place? Why is she all you talk about?"
"Because she makes delicious food."
A fatal blow that instantly silenced Tao Qiuyun.
"Why aren't you talking? Mama, are you feeling inferior?" The cat poked her with her paw.
"You're just like your Mama," Tao Qiuyun held her little paw. "Both of you make people want to give you a good lesson."
"You can't," the little one shook her head, her voice soft. "Qinqin is a cat, and Mama is also a cat. Cats are so cute, you can't hit cats."
"Yes, yes, cats are cute," Tao Qiuyun couldn't help but kiss her daughter's cheek, smiling. "So, what do you want to eat tonight, Qinqin? Mama will take you."
She paused, adding, "You can't say you want french fries, or your Qingshang Mama will scold me."
"Auntie Xiang is a doctor. Mama, if you have bronchitis, you can ask her to help you treat it." The little cat looked innocent.
Damn Tao Qiuyun, ever since she got a wife, she wouldn't even let her daughter eat french fries.
The little cat grumbled...
"I'm very healthy, I don't have bronchitis." Tao Qiuyun didn't catch her daughter's sarcasm.
The cat was frustrated.
System 030: "6"
Tao Aiqin: "666, what else can you do besides type 6!"
System 030: "9, you're 6 flipped." (TN: A play on words, 6翻了 (liù fān le) sounds like 溜翻了 (liū fān le) meaning 'slipped up' or 'awesome', and 9 (jiǔ) sounds like 久 (jiǔ) meaning 'long time' or 'forever'. The system is making a bad pun.)
Tao Aiqin: "...Thanks, your cold joke gave me chills."
System 030: "Hehe!"
The cat was ignited by the system.
"Wife, don't you think she looks like that person?" The man holding the little chubby kid frowned and turned to look at his wife who was looking in the mirror. Finding that she completely ignored him, he said angrily, "Looking in the mirror, looking in the mirror, do you really think you're a fairy!"
"What did you say!" The middle-aged woman wearing a gold bracelet was furious and glared at him. "You're being nosy. Does me looking in the mirror bother anyone?"
"Look at that woman, the one who cursed you at that parent-child event," the man pointed in Tao Qiuyun's direction. "Doesn't she look like that person who's very popular online recently... from that romance show."
People who dealt with Tao Qiuyun rarely had the leisure to watch romance shows. Even if they did and recognized her, they would probably choose to remain silent and pretend not to know. Those who didn't deal with her would also find it hard to recognize her, as her hair down versus up, plus the glasses, provided a certain degree of disguise.
However... this couple had a grudge against her. The man, whom she had rendered speechless on the spot, hated her so much his teeth itched. He was the type who would wake up in the middle of the night just to curse her.
"That... 《Super High-Speed Heartbeat》?" The woman realized, picked up her phone, searched for it, and her eyes widened. "Wait! Wait, she really does look a bit alike."
She handed the phone to her husband. "Look, doesn't she look like her?"
"Could I mistake that face? I'd recognize this person even if she turned to ash. This is definitely her, Qiu Yi... Good heavens!" The man's eyes lit up. He told his wife to watch their son, then turned to find his son's class teacher. "Teacher Liu, just asking, do you know that parent over there?"
Tao Qiuyun was outstanding in appearance. He could bet that such a beauty, whenever she appeared, would definitely attract attention. It might be difficult to inquire about an ordinary person, but extremely beautiful people are highly recognizable and will definitely be noticed.
This teacher obviously knew Tao Qiuyun as well and nodded. "She's Qinqin from Class 3's parent. Why are you asking?"
"I saw her with two children before and thought it was quite tough for her. I really admire her. Is she divorced with two kids? It's not easy for a woman to live like that."
"You're mistaken," the teacher wasn't present during the argument and didn't know about his conflict with Tao Qiuyun, so she helped explain. "She's Qinqin's mother. She's not divorced with two kids. She has a wife."
"She has a wife? Oh, I see. I saw her alone at the parent-child event before and thought she was divorced. My mistake."
"Her wife's health doesn't seem very good, she can't be very active outside," the teacher recalled casual chats during a colleague gathering and sighed. "It's not easy for her either."
After all, taking care of a bedridden wife wasn't something everyone could do.
"Then I won't bother you, Teacher. I'll be going now." A calculating glint flashed in the man's eyes as he left with a fake smile.
"How was it? What did you ask?" Seeing her husband return, the woman immediately went up to him and asked, "She even praised me for being pretty before. I feel like she's an honest and good girl. I don't even care anymore, why are you still dwelling on this!"
"Dwelling on what? She cursed your husband like an idiot, and you're still speaking up for her? You can swallow this, but I can't." The man's eyes were angry. "It's her own fault. Relying on her wife's poor health to mess around outside. It's her own mistake, so don't blame me for exposing her."
Someone married going on a romance show and even finding an actress girlfriend, it's truly enviable... No, it's truly outrageous!
He must expose this person's hypocritical facade!
Eliminating harm for the people!
