Chapter 3 Regret and Surprise

Xingchen Entertainment is one of the best-growing film and television companies in China in recent years. Qiuyuan Group, the parent company of Xingchen Entertainment, is engaged in various businesses including film and television, real estate, tourism, and hotels. It is one of the top large enterprises in the country.

Therefore, the Xingchen Entertainment building is leaning against the Qiuyuan Group headquarters behind it. The two office buildings, one tall and one short, set off each other and look very majestic.

After coming out of the subway station, Zuo Ning didn’t speak a word, and the man wearing sunglasses didn’t speak either. He just kept a certain distance and walked side by side with her.

It wasn’t until he entered the Star Entertainment Hall that the man leaned sideways and whispered: “You know? Seeing you on the subway was an unexpected surprise for me. It’s a pity that you have the same destination as me. This is a big regret for me.”

Zuo Ning didn’t understand what he meant at all, and looked up at him in confusion.

He didn’t explain. He nodded slightly and turned away. It seemed that he was going directly to the elevator.

It was Zuo Ning’s first time here, so he naturally went to the front desk to ask.

“Are you Zuo Ning, the screenwriter of “Home”?” The little girl at the front desk looked several years younger than Zuo Ning, with an expression of excitement and disbelief on her face. “Sister Zuo Ning, I am your fan. Oh my god, you… you, you, you… I heard them say in the reader group that you are very young, but I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful!”

Zuo Ning smiled awkwardly: “Thank you for liking my book, but I am here today as a screenwriter. I would like to ask if Director Qiu’s office is in the Ji Building.”

“On the 29th floor, turn right after exiting the elevator.” The little fan was so happy that he took out paper and pen from the drawer and asked Zuo Ning to sign his name, regardless of the fact that it was working time.

By the time Zuo Ning took the staff elevator to the 29th floor, it was already 12:03.

Three minutes late.

Zuo Ning was a little annoyed and hurried to the office door and knocked on the door: “Is anyone there?”

The office was very large, and there were partitions in it, probably the lounge and bathroom. After hearing a noise, the door to the lounge was opened, and a tall man walked out.

“Is it you?”

“Is it you?”

Their eyes faced each other, with surprise in each other’s eyes.

The man had already changed out of his casual clothes and put on a close-fitting blue suit. He had also taken off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Zuo Ning smiled: “No wonder I always felt familiar. I thought it was some big star, but it turned out to be Director Qiu.”

Qiu Yibai is a new director in China in recent years. He has made several online dramas with good reputation. Although he is not famous enough as a director, he is the second son of the chairman of Qiuyuan Group. With such a prominent background, being a director is probably just for fun.

“So, you are the novelist of “Home” and the screenwriter of this play, Zuo Ning?”

The smile on Qiu Yibai’s face deepened and he murmured, “It seems I was wrong. After the surprise, it’s not regret, but another surprise.”

Meeting Zuo Ning’s still confused gaze, Qiu Yibai still didn’t explain anything, just asked: “Didn’t you have lunch?”

Zuo Ning nodded and made an appointment to meet at this time for no apparent reason. Of course, he hadn’t eaten yet.

As if he noticed her complaint, Qiu Yibai smiled and said, “I’m sorry, the time to make an appointment with you is really not suitable. I have just returned to China, and I haven’t recovered from the jet lag. I have been feeling a little unwell for the past two days. I really need to rest in the morning, but if I make an appointment too late, I’m afraid there won’t be enough time, so please forgive me.”

I have to say that the man in front of me is not only outstanding in figure, appearance, and temperament, but also in his conversation, he shows the style of a gentleman. Who can resist such a man who smiles and says sorry to you?

Zuo Ning smiled and said, “I completely understand, and at this time, it allows me to miss the subway rush hour, which is good.”

“At this time, I have the honor to invite a beautiful woman to have lunch, which is quite good for me.” Qiu Yibai bowed slightly and made a “please” gesture, “Let’s go, give me a chance to apologize.”

Zuo Ning was not a pretentious person, and had nothing to refuse. He followed Qiu Yibai into the exclusive elevator for senior executives, looked at that handsome face, and said with a smile, “I’m curious, if the screenwriter who comes to meet Director Qiu at this point is a man, or an ordinary-looking woman, how will Director Qiu entertain him?”

Qiu Yibai smiled and came closer to her, and whispered: “To be honest, I have asked my assistant to prepare a quick meal.”

Zuo Ning lowered his head and smiled: “Director Qiu is really an honest person.”

“Of course, I never lie to beautiful women.”

The elevator went straight to the underground garage. Looking at the latest Lamborghini supercar in front of him, Zuo Ning smiled and said, “Director Qiu is really interesting. Instead of driving the luxury car, he wants to squeeze into the subway with us ordinary people.”

Qiu Yibai opened the car door for her, with the smile still on his face: “If I hadn’t had such an experience, how could I have had the surprise on the subway today? Of course, I’m also curious about how a great writer like you would squeeze into the subway?”

Zuo Ning turned to look at he: “I don’t have a car, and I can’t drive, and I want to go fast, so naturally I have to squeeze into the subway.”

Qiu Yibai thought she was joking, but when he met her gaze, he felt that she seemed to be serious.

It is impossible for an Internet writer with a high income to have no money to buy a car, but at her age, it is indeed strange that she does not have a car and cannot drive.
