    Insider

    Everyone thought Qiu Yibai would win the award. After all, the results were there and anyone with eyes would see them.

    And to say the least, no one would be surprised if he could win an award, even if Qiu Yibai’s drama has a very poor reputation and low broadcast volume.

    Because he is the famous second son of the Qiu family.

    These days, even the awards held by government agencies can be watered down, let alone such an inferior commercial award. With the Qiu family’s status in the film and television industry, it is not easy to set an award for Qiu Yibai.

    But Qiu Yibai, who should have won the award in every aspect, didn’t get it.

    Before Qiu Yimo could straighten out his messy clothes, he sat up and took a breath, then took out his cell phone and made a call: “Check the background of that Li Yifan.”

    The winner might really have a tougher background than Qiu Yibai. This was also Zuo Ning’s first reaction, and maybe even the reaction of all the viewers who watched the live broadcast.

    Sure enough, before the award ceremony was over, the scoldings spread quickly on the Internet. Some people accused the event organizer of being an insider, some people accused the judges of being blind, and some people accused the award-winning director of being unworthy of his ethics.

    Although Qiu Yibai has directed a small number of dramas in the past few years, they are all popular and have good reputations. The number of fans of the dramas is considerable. In addition, he has outstanding appearance and figure, which has long attracted a large number of loyal fans.

    Nowadays, a group of people are making such a fuss on the Internet, and the commotion is really quite big, and many netizens have already revealed the old score about he not winning the award last time.

    “Last time, “Home” should have won the best director, but in the end, it was only given a nomination. This time, you are so blatantly cheating on the inside. Are you really not taking Xingchen Entertainment seriously?”

    “I think Star Entertainment has done too much and made too many enemies in the industry, so some envious companies have joined forces to retaliate.”

    Looking at these comments and analyses, Zuo Ning also slowly recalled that when Gao Xia accepted the TV drama “Home”, the drama “Home” directly won five awards for Best TV Series, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Cinematography, while Qiu Yibai only received a nomination for Best Director. At that time, many netizens expressed their disbelief.

    But later, everyone also felt that this drama might have won too many awards, and other dramas needed to be given some opportunities. Moreover, as a director, Qiu Yibai is still a newcomer. It is understandable to give a nomination to encourage him and award the award to a veteran director.

    But now looking at the two things together, are they really coincidences?

    “My dad should have done it.” Qiu Yimo came to this conclusion before the report call came.

    “Your dad? Why?”

    “Forcing Qiu Yibai to admit defeat, surrender to him, and return to the Qiu family.” Qiu Yimo sneered, “He really doesn’t understand his children at all, and everything they do is more stupid than the last.”

    The award ceremony was finally over, and Qiu Yibai no longer needed to put on a smiling face and pretend to be polite and calm in front of the camera. Zuo Ning quickly took out his mobile phone and made a call.

    “Ning Ning.” The voice over there was low, but also very calm. There should be no big problem.

    “Qiu Yibai, you are great. In my heart, you are the best director, and you are also the most handsome in the director world.”

    Qiu Yibai chuckled: “Yes, I understand.”

    “Then don’t be sad. I’ll celebrate your victory when you come back. Even if you don’t have a trophy, you’re still a winner.”

    “Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow. I’m going to attend a gathering of some people in the industry tonight. You should go to bed early.”

    After hanging up the phone, most of the smile on Zuo Ning’s face faded: “You can guess that your dad did it, and Qiu Yibai must be able to guess it too, right?”

    Qiu Yibai did not return all night.

    Zuo Ning discovered this when he entered his apartment early in the morning to deliver breakfast to him.

    Due to the nature of his work and the circle he lives in, he often needs to attend some dinner parties, and sometimes he drinks a lot, but no matter how late it is, he will almost always ask a driver to take him back.

    Feeling a little uneasy, Zuo Ning called Qiu Yibai’s number again, but no one answered.

    Before drawing a clear line with the Qiu family, Qiu Yibai had a villa and two apartments in the city center, but later they were all returned to the Qiu family. Now the only place he can live in is this newly renovated old apartment. If he doesn’t come back all night, where can he go?

    “He is an adult man, you don’t need to worry so much.” Faced with Zuo Ning’s anxiety, Qiu Yimo was very calm.

    However, in the afternoon, there was still no news from Qiu Yibai and he still didn’t answer the phone.

    This time, Qiu Yimo couldn’t sit still.

    After making several phone calls but getting no news, he pondered for a long time. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zuo Ning: “Have you been to any place of special significance before?”

    “When I’m with him, I follow the group all day long, how can I…”

    Speaking of this, Zuo Ning suddenly remembered what Qiu Yibai said back then: Do you like this villa?If you like it, then I’ll stay. We’ll live here when we have time in the future.

    “Did the villa where “Home” was filmed later sold?”

    Qiu Yimo thought for a moment, then got up to get the car keys: “He asked someone to keep it for him, and no one has touched it.”

    On the way to the resort, Qiu Yimo called again and asked for the details of the villa. The news he received was that it had been bought by Qiu Yibai half a month ago.

    When they arrived, they discovered that the villa was not locked, so they opened the door as soon as they opened it.

    Just seeing the scene inside, both of them were stunned.

    Lawns, vines, cobblestones, coconut trees, palm trees, suspended leaves, retro iron decorations, lights, and many plants that Zuo Ning couldn’t even name, as well as floral arrangements of various shapes, and even squirrels and sika deers shuttled among them.

    What should have been a spacious hall on the first floor has now become a mysterious forest surrounded by greenery, mottled light and shadow, exquisite and deep.

    Looking at the hallucination-like scene in front of him, Zuo Ning remembered that once she and Qiu Yibai were having sex on the sofa, and a proposal plot from a certain bloody drama appeared on the TV screen. After the climax, she, breathless, casually complained: “This style of proposal scene is so common, it is strange that the heroine can agree.”

    Qiu Yibai smiled and said: “Then what do you think is the most stylish decoration? Flower room? Sea of lights? Pink balloons? Animation theme? Starry sky? Forest style?”

    “Forest style? The kind of being in nature? That one seems pretty good. It’s best to find some docile and cute animals, like sika deer or something…”

    Zuo Ning’s mind was not fully awake at that time and he thought he was discussing the plot of the TV series with Qiu Yibai. Unexpectedly, he actually took it seriously.
