I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Qin Yunshang quickly waved her hand and said loudly:

"President Gu, you've misunderstood. I have no relationship with him whatsoever. It's just a camaraderie, like brothers."

Gu Yuqing chuckled and then said:

"If you ask me, having too good a relationship isn't good either. An idol like you, always going to the room of the opposite sex, I misunderstood, and if others misunderstood too, that would be troublesome."

Qin Yunshang nodded and said, "Mr. Gu is right. We really shouldn't keep going to his room."

Gu Yuqing was about to nod when the girl's next words startled her: "Next time I'll make him come to my room."

"He dares!"

After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, she noticed Qin Yunshang staring at her with surprise. She cleared her throat to cover her embarrassment and said:

"It's very ungentlemanly for him to just walk into a girl's room; he shouldn't do that."

"Yes, yes." Qin Yunshang nodded repeatedly, "But what can I do? I'm his senior."

"You're his senior??" Gu Yuqing stared at her, while Qin Yunshang proudly puffed out her chest, though it was a bit like showing off her limited skills.

"He debuted later than me, so isn't he my junior?" Qin Yunshang said proudly. "Also, before he went abroad, my sister asked me to take care of him."

"So it's your sister?!" Gu Yuqing exclaimed in surprise.

"What?" Qin Yunshang didn't know what was making her so surprised.

"It's nothing," Gu Yuqing quickly said, "You can take me to the parking lot, I'm afraid I won't know the way."

Actually, Gu Yuqing knew the way. She was afraid that if she left, Qin Yunshang would come back and go to Chen Ya's room to do something.

She suddenly realized that even Qin Yun Chu couldn't let her guard down, as there were actually people who sent their younger sister to attack her while providing cover from behind.

There are traitors everywhere; we can't let our guard down at all.

Qin Yunshang finally saw Gu Yuqing off, then turned around and ran back to Chen Ya's room, turning on the light as soon as she entered.

"What are you doing?" Chen Ya woke up with a start, turned around and saw Qin Yunshang's excited face. "How did you get in?"

"You forgot? I have a room key."

Give me back my room key.

Chen Ya reached out, but Qin Yunshang shoved her hand away and climbed onto Chen Ya's bed, squatting down.

"That's not important! Can't you tell?"

"What are you looking at? What do you want to see?" Chen Ya stared at Qin Yunshang's chest. He had been dozing off for half a minute when he was woken up, and he was still a little groggy.

"Sigh, you're such a blockhead," Qin Yunshang said disdainfully. "Didn't you realize that President Gu is trying to woo you?"

"Huh?" Chen Ya felt a wave of dizziness. "You have to be responsible for your words. Don't make things up without any evidence."

Qin Yunshang said excitedly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I guarantee it, she definitely wants to hit on you. Her eyes were practically asking you to eat her alive. Do you think I wouldn't see that? If I hadn't stopped her just now, she would have been sleeping here tonight. Women understand women best, let me tell you."

Chen Ya rubbed his forehead: "And then?"

"And then? Well, it's really exciting, don't you think?" Qin Yunshang said. "Hey, I'm telling you, you don't actually want to be sexually harassed, do you?"

Qin Yunshang, though young, is becoming increasingly precocious and imaginative. Chen Ya said, somewhat annoyed:

"Yeah, isn't the unspoken rule good enough?"

Qin Yunshang paused, "Huh? You must be joking!"

“Being a kept man is every man’s dream. Isn’t it great when a rich woman comes knocking on your door?” Chen Ya said. “You don’t have to work hard. It’s so comfortable.”

Qin Yunshang was immediately heartbroken and tried to frighten him by coaxing and deceiving him:

"Do you think being a kept man is so easy? Let me tell you, it's not as good as you think. You're so talented, if you really fall for a strong woman like President Gu, wouldn't your prime be wasted? What will you do when she gets tired of you?"

"Mmm..." Chen Ya squinted and hummed softly.

"Wake up! I'm talking to you seriously!" Qin Yunshang slapped his face twice. "Don't even think about doing that, understand? Otherwise, I'll... I'll... I'll look down on you!"

Chen Ya opened his eyes: "So righteous?"

"I'll start by purifying the atmosphere of the entertainment industry. I've always been this righteous."

"Okay, okay," Chen Ya nodded repeatedly. "I was just joking. I won't be subjected to any unspoken rules. You can go now."

“It’s not something you can avoid being sexually exploited just because you want to. You have to protect yourself,” Qin Yunshang said worriedly. “President Gu has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Sigh, I have to teach him this kind of thing. He’s really a worry.”

"I rely heavily on my senior sister."

"That's right, your senior sister is the best to you, sweetie."

Qin Yunshang has the personality of being ungrateful even after getting a good deal, and Chen Ya realized that he couldn't let her have a taste of sweetness.

"Alright, alright, please leave now, senior sister. I really need to sleep."

"Hey, you really look handsome without your glasses."

Qin Yunshang suddenly blurted out this sentence out of the blue, then fell silent, staring at Chen Ya for a long time without saying a word.

Chen Ya was also stunned and didn't say anything, and the atmosphere suddenly became a bit ambiguous.

Qin Yunshang's expression suddenly turned panicked, and then she slowly closed her eyes.

As Qin Yunshang's face grew larger and larger in his field of vision, Chen Ya reached back and pulled the blanket over her head, wrapped it up, threw it on the bed, and said:

"Hurry up and get out of here. You're disturbing my sleep and forcing me to resort to violence."

Qin Yunshang, who had been kicked out by Chen Ya, stormed out the door and shouted back into the room:

"Humph!"

Do you even realize how close your sister got to offending President Gu because of you?! All that pampering of this kid has been for nothing!

Back in bed, Qin Yunshang was so angry that she couldn't sleep all night. Even in her dreams, she was still cursing Chen Ya.

……

Lu Qianzi and her group's plane landed at Narita Airport. As soon as they got off the plane, Xiao Qing ran to the airport's Wi-Fi rental area.

He kept muttering to himself as he ran: "Damn it, this plane ride took so long, and tonight is Jinlan's revival match..."

Lu Qianzi turned to Liu Ruying and asked, "So, what are our plans?"

Liu Ruying said, "I have to go to the hotel first to help the Beichen negotiation team check in. I might be very busy for the first few days and won't be able to play with you guys."

“No rush, there will be time,” Lu Qianzi said. “Beichen is such a big city, can’t you even go out and have some fun after you finish work? You can even take a few days off and go back after a few days of fun.”

Liu Ruying smiled wryly: "It's not that simple..."

She thought for a moment and said to Lu Qingxuan, "Why don't you two and Yun Che go sightseeing first, and I'll meet up with you after I'm done with my work here? Oh, by the way, I've compiled a tourist guide map of Tokyo's attractions, I'll send it to you later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianzi exclaimed, "Ruying is such a reliable wife! She's so dependable!"

Lu Qingxuan shrugged and said, "Whatever. Actually, I just wanted to come and look around. It doesn't matter whether we go to tourist attractions or not. We can wait for you to go together."

Lu Qingxuan is feeling lost right now. Since the Lu family fell apart, the family's structure has changed drastically, and she's finding it hard to keep up with the pace of her new life.

She came to Japan mainly to change her mood and, incidentally, to think about what to do next.

Qi Yunche ran over, wrinkling his nose, and said:

“My dad booked a hotel for me and insisted that I stay with him. I thought it was too much trouble and asked him to cancel it, but he refused.”

Lu Qingxuan said, "Your dad has PTSD about your kidnapping. He's just worried about you."

"He only felt a little relieved after I told him I was staying with you guys, and he insisted I send him my location," Qi Yunche asked. "Where is your hotel?"

Lu Qianzi took out her phone: "Wait a minute, I'll send you my location."

The group, including Liu Ruyan, created a small group called "Japan Strategy Group," and Lu Qianzi posted her location in the group.

Xiao Qing returned at this moment with the rented Wi-Fi device, looking at her phone as she walked, and said, "Is this your hotel's location?"

"Yes. Qingxuan helped me book it; they have VIP tickets here."

"Wow!" Xiao Qing suddenly exclaimed, "Your hotel is only one street away from the hotel of the 'Idol Producer' program crew!"

"Really? What a coincidence?"

"Wait, let me ask...it really is!" Xiao Qing exclaimed. "Then you can visit their show's set anytime! How lucky!"

Lu Qianzi hadn't watched "Idol Producer." In her mind, current variety shows mostly featured popular celebrities, so she wasn't particularly interested. However, out of a desire to show her support, she still asked:

Which celebrities live there? Do I know any of them?

“Qin Yunshang, Guo Xiaoran, and Meng Xing are all there,” Xiao Qing said, counting on her fingers. “Oh, and Yun Chu too, she’s in Japan now, living there.”

Lu Qianzi wasn't particularly interested in other people's stories, but she became interested when she heard Qin Yunchu's name.

She and Lu Qingxuan exchanged a glance; they both had the same thought in mind.

"Then it seems I should pay a visit," Lu Qingxuan said casually.

"I want to go too," Liu Ruying said, blushing. "Could you wait for me and go together?"

"It also depends on whether it's convenient for Ms. Qin," Lu Qianzi said. "After all, she's here for work."

Xiao Qing snapped her fingers and said, "Let me ask her for you! See when she's free so she can meet with you."

The women became excited.

I never expected to run into Mr. Qin while I was abroad. What a coincidence!

Not far away, Liu Ruyan drifted over like a wisp of smoke, asking in an ethereal voice:

Is Qin Yun Chu here too?

Xiao Qing said, "Ah, right."

"Across from our hotel?"

"Oh no," Xiao Qing said, "Our hotel was booked with the help of the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. It's in Chiyoda Ward, very close to Tokyo Tower."

"I want to switch with them," Liu Ruyan said, pointing to Lu Qianzi and the others. "I haven't seen Qin Yunchu in a long time either."

Xiao Qing rubbed her forehead and said, "You have a seminar to attend tomorrow! There is free time, so I'll pick you up then, okay?"

Liu Ruying asked curiously, "Um, Sister Ruyan, do you know President Qin?"

Liu Ruyan nodded seriously and said firmly, "Yes."

She always speaks concisely and to the point; the same word can have different meanings depending on the volume of her voice.

For example, if it's not someone she's very familiar with, she'll just give a soft "hmm." But if it's Chen Ya, she'll say "hmm hmm hmm!"

The "hmm" she said just now was at a friendly volume.

Liu Ruying was a little surprised and whispered, "Sister Ruyan, what have you been doing all these years? How do you even know President Qin?"

"..."

Liu Ruyan tilted her head, but remained silent. It wasn't that she didn't want to answer, but explaining would be too troublesome, so she simply gave up.

Xiao Qing, hands on her hips, gave the order:

"In that case, let's split into three groups first! We can meet up again another day when everyone is done with their work."

She put her arm around Liu Ruyan's waist and said, "Ruyan has a seminar to attend next. Considering her ability to take care of herself, I don't think the following arrangements are suitable for her. Why don't you pick her up after the seminar, take her sightseeing, and then come back to China with us?"

Liu Ruying turned to Lu Qianzi and said, "Qianzi, I might not have time tomorrow. Could you help me pick her up?"

Lu Qianzi nodded repeatedly in agreement. This had all been discussed beforehand.

Besides, spending more time with a pretty girl like Liu Ruyan would only make one feel happy, so there's nothing to object to.

Qi Yunche needed to meet up with her father and report before she could go find Lu Qianzi and the others, so she temporarily went with Liu Ruying to the place where the Beichen negotiation team was staying.

In addition, Lu Qianzi and Lu Qingxuan were in one group, and Xiao Qing and Liu Ruyan were in another group, and they went to the hotels on both sides respectively.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Lu Qianzi and Lu Qingxuan took a car to the hotel together. Lu Qingxuan was very silent, and the two didn't talk much on the way.

Their hotel was near Shinjuku Central Park, but since it was dark, neither of them was in the mood for shopping, so they went straight to the Hyatt next door to check in.

The two had barely stepped into the Hyatt's gates when, just two seconds later, across the street, Gu Yuqing was seen off by Qin Yunshang, who drove off in her Audi convertible, which she had rented for 5 yen a day.

About 800 meters away, Jia Yi and his group were entering an izakaya (Japanese pub). As they lifted the curtain at the entrance, the proprietress warmly invited them inside.

There were six people at the dinner party this time, four men and two women, which is similar to the setup for a late-night snack at a nearby company.

Entering the room, Jia Yi looked gloomy, his face as frozen as ice. After ordering the drinks, Guo Xiaoran turned to him and said:

"Brother Jia, what's past is past, why hold onto it? Your future isn't just about this show."
