Quick Transmigration: The Divine-Looking Host is Always Pampered by a Powerful Boss

After Chu Zhuo finished looking at Lu's photography studio, she immediately felt that her own studio needed further adjustments, so she said goodbye to Lu Tingzhou and refused his offer to escort her.

"Be careful on the road," Lu Tingzhou earnestly instructed. "If you have any problems, be sure to come to me. Don't be afraid to bother me. I'm afraid that if you don't bother me, that means you don't consider me a friend, and I'll be sad."

Assistant Yan, who seemed to be deaf to the side, remained silent.

Mr. Lu is sad? My God, what a joke this is.

"Okay." The tall, big man was left standing there. He was sensible and considerate, and at first glance, he looked a little pitiful. Chu Zhuo hugged him. "Lu Tingzhou, you are the first friend I made after returning to China. Don't worry, you and I are the best of friends in the world. Everyone else has to step aside."

Lu Tingzhou lowered his eyelashes, and in a corner where Chu Zhuo couldn't see, a hint of smugness appeared in his dark eyes.

Chu Zhuo went to his own photography studio, where he optimized the operating mechanism based on Lu's, while also adding some details. Several more days passed by in a flurry of activity.

It was already dark when she got home. After a quick dinner, Chu Zhuo slipped to the refrigerator, grabbed a tub of ice cream, and went back to her bedroom. Her phone notified her of missed calls.

Just as he was about to dial back, the other party called again.

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end introduced themselves: "Hello, I'm Shi An."

"I know, don't be afraid. The video you received the day before yesterday was sent by me." Chu Zhuo unscrewed the lid of the ice cream, sat cross-legged on the chair, and scooped out the ice cream spoonful by spoonful. "Shi An, you called me because you've thought it through?"

The video Chu Zhuo mentioned was from an incident that occurred at the bar where he was welcomed back to China.

This period of time was when Shi An was most in love with the scumbag Qi Yu. In the original timeline, Shi An was hurt for a long time and suffered a lot before choosing to give up.

Given the extent of Qi Yu's infatuation and love for his white moonlight, it's not hard to imagine what he will do to Shi An after he goes back.

Sometimes, it's only when the knife cuts you and leaves a visible wound that you realize the pain in your body and mind, and understand how heart-wrenching it is to understand the truth.

This was also a factor in why Chu Zhu copied the video that night but didn't immediately send it to Shi An.

Having seen the timeline, Chu Zhuo knew that Shi An's personality was somewhat conflicted and indecisive, which is why she only sent Shi An the video two days ago.

The client and his younger brother were innocent, and Shi An also suffered an undeserved misfortune.

Later, he was brainwashed by Qi Yu and bore the guilt of indirectly causing the death of his beloved for more than ten years.

In stories about scumbag protagonists and their substitutes, the substitutes aren't always bad. For example, Shi An's methods of winning back Qi Yu didn't harm the client's younger brother in the slightest; he never even appeared in front of the client's younger brother.

If it weren't for Qi Yu, he would definitely have a bright future.

The anonymous video was actually sent by Shen Chuzhuo?

Shi An was taken aback, unable to understand his purpose, and swallowed hard, her throat dry: "Are you trying to warn me?"

No wonder Qi Yu spilled the food he had prepared that night, and the next morning his boss fired him, subtly reminding him that he must have offended someone. Recently, the companies he went to for interviews also seemed to have received secret favors, and he kept running into obstacles.

The bitter consequences he suffered alone each time he failed an interview, because he didn't want Qi Yu to worry, were actually created by Qi Yu himself.

Even when Qi Yu was verbally abusing him, he was still making excuses for Qi Yu in his mind.

What kind of business is struggling, partners are defaulting on contracts, and competitors are signing them ahead of time?

Shi An closed her eyes in pain, tears wetting the corners of her eyes.

Chu Zhuo said earnestly, "Shi An, let's meet tomorrow and talk about Qi Yu."

In the story of this world, only Qi Yu is a complete beneficiary.

He packaged himself as a deeply affectionate, rich, and handsome man. As the protagonist chosen by the evil Heavenly Dao, under the protection of his halo, he took over the Shen family's assets after the client's death, as well as the personal brand patents created by Shi An later.

How can finding a stand-in be considered affectionate? Since when has affection become so common?

After seeing the timeline, Chu Zhuo thought that he not only wanted Qi Yu to be disgraced, but also wanted to rescue Shi An.

Shi An pursed her lips and replied, "Okay."

Chu Zhuo made an appointment at a quiet coffee shop, chose a seat by the window, and ordered two caramel macchiatos.

A moment later, through the glass window, he saw a figure outside the door, hesitating; it was Shi An.

Chu Zhuo got up and went to the door to greet them: "Why aren't you coming in?"

Shi An looked up abruptly, the sunlight stinging his eyes. The tall man in the shadows stood on the steps, looking down at him. His eyes were clear and bright, as if he could see through Shi An's inferiority and inadequacy, but without the slightest contempt. He extended kindness to Shi An without changing his expression, accepting him.

It seemed that his hesitation and unease throughout the night were nothing to the other person.

"Shen, Chu, Zhuo." Shi An's lips parted slightly as she called out to him hesitantly.

"That's me." Chu Zhuo took a few steps down the stairs, grabbed Shi An, and pulled her inside. "Why don't you come in? Do I look scary?"

"Of course not," Shi An said, flustered and terrified. "You're very beautiful, not scary at all."

Back in her seat, Chu Zhuo pointed to the coffee on the table: "I ordered this for you. I asked around about your preferences, and this is sweet, not particularly bitter."

Shi An's mind went blank for a moment, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

After Shen Chuzhuo asked to meet him last night, he was in a daze, feeling confused and unable to stop wondering what Shen Chuzhuo would say to him... He never expected that a very ordinary sentence would shatter his strength.

Shi An doesn't like coffee because most of it is bitter, but after he got together with Qi Yu, he drank those bitter coffees with Qi Yu because Qi Yu liked them, even though he added a lot of sugar cubes, they were still bitter.

It turns out there was sweet coffee, but Qi Yu had never paid attention to it.

Shi An picked up the coffee in front of her, took a small sip along the side of the cup, and tears streamed down her face without warning.

"Shi An, you cried today, consider it a farewell to a rotten person." Chu Zhuo pulled out a piece of paper and stuffed it into Shi An's hand. "Qi Yu is not a good person. All the good he did for you was based on the premise that his interests were not harmed. You are a victim, and so am I. He claims to others that I am his white moonlight, but I am abroad. In this advanced age, is it so difficult to fly abroad? It's just self-righteous affection. In the end, he only loves himself."

"You are excellent, Shi An. No matter what, please remember your original intention."

Shi An blinked, tears sliding down his jawline and into his clothes, but he seemed oblivious and finished the rest of his coffee in one gulp.

Setting down the ceramic cup, Shi An used a tissue to wipe the wet tear stains from her face.

He took a deep breath: "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, I misspoke yesterday."

"It's okay, Shi'an. How can anyone be without obsessions?" Chu Zhuo took out a bank card and handed it to Shi'an. "Here's three million. Don't rush to refuse; you'll need it."

So Shi An shut his mouth and swallowed back his words of refusal, intuitively believing that Shen Chuzhuo wouldn't lie to him.

Upon receiving the video, Shi An couldn't help but inquire about Shen Chuzhuo and Qi Yu's past.

The emotions of youth are pure. During their high school years, one was gentle and open, while the other secretly harbored feelings for the other. The sparks that flew between them made even their separation seem like a beautiful filter.

Shi An secretly glanced at Chu Zhuo.

He was so wonderful. Years have passed, and while he is no longer the gentle man Qi Yu remembers, he has become even more vivid and radiant.

Looking at myself, what is there to be deceived about?
