    61: peak period

    When Qiao Qiao entered the garage, he didn’t see the driver and nanny car that sent him there. Instead, Qin Ruicheng stood next to his coquettish little red coupe and whistled at Qiao Qiao.

    “Little girl, do you want my brother to take you home?”

    Not sure if he was afraid of being recognized, Qin Ruicheng wore a pair of large sunglasses that covered half of his face. He also chose dark clothes. He put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the hood of the car in an airy manner, just like a gangster.

    Normally Qiao Qiao would have teased Qin Ruicheng, but after such an ups and downs day at Donghe Film and Television, Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Ruicheng as if he were seeing his family. Not to mention being moved to tears, he almost threw himself in his lap.

    “Qin Qin!” Qiao Qiao ran over happily and looked Qin Ruicheng up and down, “Have you finished filming your series? How come you have time to pick me up.”

    “We are wrapping up. I heard that you came to Donghe alone. I took a break from my busy schedule to come over and take a look at you.” Qin Ruicheng rubbed Qiao Qiao’s raised forehead hair and frowned, “Did the audition go well? Why do you look like you were bullied? What happened?”

    Qiao Qiao sniffed twice and forced herself to smile. She was used to being alone and didn’t want others to worry about her too much. She just shook her head and said, “It’s okay. The floor was too slippery when I came here and I fell and hit my arm.”

    “Did you hit it? Let me see.” Qin Ruicheng grabbed Qiao Qiao’s wrist without saying a word, and pushed up the sleeves of Qiao Qiao’s long-sleeved T-shirt in a few strokes. There was indeed a bruise on Qiao Qiao’s arm, probably because he hit the sharp corner of the sink while struggling.

    Qin Ruicheng stared at it for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and kissed the bruise, raised his eyes and said with a smile, “I’ll comfort you after dinner.” He opened the car door and motioned for Qiao Qiao to get in, “Get in the car, and I’ll take you to eat something delicious.”

    Qiao Qiao stood still, covering his arms and saying warily: “Is it just eating?”

    Qin Ruicheng sighed and nodded as if he was resigned to his fate: “Please don’t always look at me with anti-rascal eyes. You have been tired all day long. How can I force you to do anything else?”

    Of course it will be different after the break.

    Qin Ruicheng added silently in his heart.

    @@@

    Donghe Film and Television covers a very large area. Qin Ruicheng was a newbie here and was not familiar with the route. He turned several times before finally seeing the gate of Donghe Film and Television. I don’t know if it was because it happened to be stuck at the off-duty time. There was a long queue of traffic at the door, all of which were waiting to be released.The security guard at the entry and exit management booth was not in a hurry. He slowly checked the passes of each vehicle. Those who passed the pass went to the drop bar and continued to line up. It was extremely slow.

    Qin Ruicheng smashed the steering wheel angrily, and the car made a rapid whistle.

    “It’s useless to press the horn. The access control here in Donghe is very strict.” Qiao Qiao stuck his head out of the car window and looked at the queue of cars in front and behind, and shrugged, “I realized this when I came by car this morning. If you don’t have a high-level ID, you can only wait in line until the end of the world.”

    “If you go to the restaurant like this, you won’t even know it’s the year of the monkey.” Qin Ruicheng glanced at the rearview mirror and frowned, “Okay, the cars behind are also blocked. It seems that we can only wait here today.”

    A man dressed as a security guard came over and knocked on the car window. Qin Ruicheng pressed the glass and handed over his ID. The man took it and looked at it carefully before returning it to Qin Ruicheng. He continued to extend his hand to Qiao Qiao: “There’s yours too.”

    “Wait a minute…” Qiao Qiao lowered his head and rummaged through his bag. Suddenly there was a whistle from outside, and a tall man in the distance shouted with a loudspeaker: “Please pay attention! Please pay attention! Next, everyone backs up a hundred meters and makes way for the front door! Repeat it again, everyone backs up a hundred meters! Yes, start from the back row! Hurry up!”

    The security guard checking Qiao Qiao’s ID was suddenly attracted. He didn’t want Qiao Qiao’s ID anymore. He ran to the end of the convoy in three steps and started directing the vehicles behind him to reverse. The security guards who had been slowly moving quickly started to move like clockwork. They blew their whistles and the commander directed them. In less than thirty seconds, there were already cars in the last row starting to reverse.

    “Fuck.” Qin Ruicheng was already holding back his anger, and now he was going to back up again. He was so irritated that after putting the reverse gear in, he simply stepped on the accelerator as low as possible. The reversing distance of 100 meters was like running in a straight line and he reversed as soon as he accelerated. He was so frightened that the Toyota behind him honked loudly, fearing that Qin Ruicheng wouldn’t be able to brake in time and hit its front hood.

    “What’s going on?” Qiao Qiao stretched out her head to look around again, and found that many car owners stretched their heads outside to look around like her. The security guards were commanding with amazing efficiency. In less than twenty minutes, a spacious avenue had been cleared in front of the gate of Donghe Film and Television. The crossbars that had strictly blocked everyone’s entry and exit were also erected, as if they were waiting for someone to pass by.

    The tall man blew the whistle again, and this time the security guards all trotted back to the team and stood at attention by the management booth. Their previous lazy demeanor was gone and they became more serious.

    Soon, the target of this unexpected transfer appeared.

    “As expected, I was waiting for this car to pass by.” Qiao Qiao lay on the window and looked at it for a while, his tone a little disappointed, “I thought it would be such a cool car…”

    Indeed, just looking at the appearance, the dark black car approaching from far away does not look significantly different from other vehicles running on the road. Except for the slightly longer body, there are almost no features that make people eye-catching. Even the car logo is a foreign brand that can be seen everywhere on the road.If it hadn’t appeared at such a special time, Qiao Qiao would have thought it was a foreign car that went the wrong way.

    “Does this car look very ordinary?” Qin Ruicheng came over and asked Qiao Qiao with a smile.

    “It’s completely uncharacteristic, it feels like it’s everywhere in the street…”

    “The price of this car is almost as much as the total price of our row of cars.” Qin Ruicheng thought for a while and added, “Of course I have to exclude my car. Mine is not cheap either.”

    “Ah?” Qiao Qiao was shocked. Her first reaction was to find it incredible, “This row of cars adds up to several million, right? Spending so much money to buy such an ordinary car?”

    “I spent tens of millions of dollars to buy such an ordinary car.” Qin Ruicheng scratched his chin and suddenly smiled: “The ultimate meaning of low-key. There was a joke about this car in the car industry before, saying that a man drove this car to the parking lot, but was scolded by the security guard to stay away from the Audi next to him. If the Audi was scratched, he could not afford to pay for it.”

    Qiao Qiao laughed out loud: “It’s so frustrating to be so low-key. Who would buy such a car?”

    “Isn’t that car coming soon? You can take a closer look at who is driving it. Anyway, I can’t understand this kind of consumption concept. Maybe I’m still young.”

    Qiao Qiao really pressed down the window to take a look. The black car was not going very fast, and because Qin Ruicheng’s car was in the outermost row, the distance between the two cars was only about ten meters when it passed, which was a theoretically sufficient distance to see clearly.

    It’s a pity that the other party’s window film is very light-blocking. From Qiao Qiao’s point of view, he can only see a thin black silhouette inside. Qiao Qiao adjusted the position several times but still couldn’t see clearly. Just when he was about to give up, the window suddenly lowered.

    “Hey, isn’t it an old man?”

    Because there was a height difference when the car window was lowered, Qiao Qiao first saw the other party’s dark brown hair, which was carefully taken care of, and then his smooth forehead, heroic sword-shaped eyebrows, and narrow eyes. Qiao Qiao already felt that something was not good at this time, but she was sitting in the car with the window rolled down completely, and she could not avoid it even if she wanted to.

    The person sitting in the car was Liang Jize.

    He glanced at Qiao Qiao lightly, and his fully exposed thin lips slightly raised an evil arc. He seemed to have been staring at Qiao Qiao for a long time, but he just chose to expose himself.

    “Best Actor Liang.” Qin Ruicheng also came over to take a look. He looked back at Liang Jize coldly. After leaving this glance, the latter raised the window again, speeded up and drove out of the gate, turned a corner and disappeared.

    The crossbar fell again, and the security guards began to direct other vehicles to enter and exit according to the original schedule. Everything returned to the previous state. It seemed that Liang Jize’s passing was just a small episode.

    “Your face is so pale.” Qin Ruicheng patted Qiao Qiao’s face and stretched out his hand to roll up the car window, “Is it freezing due to the wind? Don’t open it so much next time.”

    “…Yeah.” Qiao Qiao nodded obediently, and secretly stroked his chest when Qin Ruicheng wasn’t paying attention.

    What a terrible feeling.
