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

After going around in circles, all she really wanted to say was this one sentence.

It was purely my gossipy nature that got the better of me.

Chen Ya had no interest in digging into those old, outdated ideas; his mind was entirely focused on the big moves to come, and he replied perfunctorily:

"We had some acquaintance in the past, and now we can only talk to each other."

"What exactly did you do in Japan before? I heard from Liu Ruyan and the others that you came here as a visiting scholar, didn't you?"

Chen Ya's perfunctory attitude did not deter Qin Yun Chu; instead, it piqued her curiosity even more, and she grabbed his arm with both hands and swayed it left and right.

Qin Yunchu was wearing a dark blue slip dress made of satin fabric. The dress was fitted and the waist was clearly defined, and her navel could be faintly seen through the shape.

It can be quite hard to resist a girl who is usually very serious when she starts to act cute.

"Liu Ruyan told you this? Why does she tell you everything? I'll get my hands on her sooner or later..."

Chen Ya stopped mid-sentence, looking up at the door. Qin Yun Chu followed his gaze and saw Qin Yun Shang standing in the doorway, staring at them both in shock.

Before Chen Ya could even say, "You've come at the perfect time," Qin Yunshang turned her head and stormed off in a huff.

Qin Yunchu was stunned for two seconds, then rushed out and used her powerful grappling technique to drag her sister back. She was still wearing 18-centimeter high heels, which left Chen Ya speechless.

As Qin Yunshang was dragged back, she kicked wildly, tears streaming down her face, and cried out:

"You clearly said you wouldn't intervene, you liar!"

While struggling to control her unruly younger sister in her arms, Qin Yun Chu kicked off her high heels and shouted:

"Listen to me, this is all a misunderstanding!"

Chen Ya silently walked over and closed the door for the two sisters.

To be honest, after listening to their conversation, he was quite curious about what Qin Yun Chu had been talking about behind his back.

Qin Yunshang's voice trembled with a sob as she said, "You've always liked to take everything from me since we were little! You always snatch food from my hands!"

Qin Yun Chu got anxious and said, "Isn't that because you wanted everything when you were little? You took everything, otherwise I wouldn't have had to snatch it!"

Qin Yunshang said, "Are we talking about when we were little? The point is, you lied to me!"

"I told you I wasn't lying!"

"Then you can stay here overnight!"

"We didn't sleep at all last night!"

"?!"

Qin Yunshang was shocked. She wiped her face and said, "Okay, okay, you're going to play this wild, huh?"

Seeing that things were getting more and more outrageous, Chen Ya started to shoo everyone away, saying, "Everyone, get out. I'm going to change my clothes; I need to go out in a bit."

Qin Yun Chu let go of Chen Ya's hand and said, "No, you have to explain this to her clearly. I can't suffer this injustice!"

Qin Yunshang grabbed his other half and said, "Where are you planning to go this time? We're performing at the livehouse tomorrow. If you don't follow me, where else do you want to go?"

For a time, Chen Ya enjoyed the blessing of having two women on his left and right, a truly enviable situation.

However, he quickly pushed the two away and made them sit properly.

This afternoon was the first meeting between the Triangle Group and Beichen Company. As the top leader, he naturally couldn't be absent from such an occasion. Even with the two sisters, he didn't have time to get close to them.

After explaining the situation to Qin Yunshang and telling her about the chaos of last night, Qin Yunshang's emotions finally calmed down, but she still protested with her fists clenched:

"I need to prepare at least five songs for a livehouse performance tomorrow, right? I can only sing three right now, what do you suggest?"

Chen Ya paused in packing his clothes. Oh, indeed.

I forgot about this.

“Write them on the spot, what else can we do?” Chen Ya sat down on the edge of the bed. “Five songs. You can sing ‘I Remember’ and ‘Plum Jam’, right? That leaves three songs. No problem.”

"Three songs? You think that's easy? Humph, you'd be amazing if you could write them all in one day!"

Despite saying that, Qin Yunshang still sat down on the edge of the bed and obediently watched Chen Ya take out paper and pen to write a song.

Ever since "I Remember," she's thought Chen Ya was incredibly cool when he wrote songs; she could watch him all day without getting tired of it.

If he writes for a day, she can sit here and watch for a day.

Qin Yun Chu also sat down to the side. The younger sister glared at her older sister and said:

"What are you doing? This is a matter for our Chen Qin group. Everyone else, get out of the way immediately!"

Qin Yun Chu smiled and said, "Chen Qin Group? Then I'm also a Qin, how can I be an irrelevant person?"

"You're irrelevant, get out of here! Don't disturb our creative process!"

Qin Yunshang pushed her sister away with both hands, trying to squeeze her out, but Qin Yunchu's soft body leaned against Chen Ya, and they got into an intimate close embrace.

"Enough! You two are bothering me!" Chen Ya finally lost his patience and scolded.

The two sisters immediately sat up straight like elementary school students, their movements perfectly synchronized.

It is precisely in this respect that two beautiful women, one older and one younger, each with their own unique charm and allure, can be seen to resemble sisters.

Chen Ya wrote furiously on the table, completing the manuscript in no time.

Qin Yun Chu rested her chin on her hand, carefully examining Chen Ya's profile. She began to understand why her unruly younger sister could be so easily tamed by him.

She could understand why Jiang Xinhai, the dignified Empress Jiang, a pampered daughter born with a silver spoon in her mouth, could be so devoted to him. Even after so many years, and even though he had become a bit of a playboy, she remained steadfast in her love for him.

This man is truly captivating when he gets serious.

She began to understand the saying: Meeting someone too amazing in your youth is a punishment, as it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

If she hadn't first learned about Liu Ruyan, Jiang Xinhai, Gu Yuqing, and others, witnessed their joys and sorrows, and known what kind of person Chen Ya was, she might have been ruined for the rest of her life.

"Hello, hello! Hello, hello!"

Qin Yun Chu, who was lost in her own emotions, was jolted awake by her younger sister's elbow and turned to look at her.

"Look at yourself in the mirror," Qin Yunshang handed over the dressing mirror on the table, "Your eyes are all drooling!"

Qin Yun Chu held up the mirror, looked at herself from left to right, and winked: "Do I?"

"Yes! I've been staring at you for ages, didn't you notice? You're almost soaking wet!"

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Qin Yunchu looked in the mirror and cupped her face. "I'm so beautiful."

"Shameless."

Without turning his head, Chen Ya reached behind him and stuffed a stack of manuscript papers into his hand, which Qin Yunshang took.

"You finished writing a poem so quickly?"

"Three songs," Chen Ya said briefly. "I'll polish the arrangements a bit more, and you can familiarize yourself with them first."

Qin Yunshang held the manuscript paper and read through the poems one by one. Her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and she would hum along from time to time. The melodies were quite catchy, and Qin Yunchu nodded slightly when she heard them.

Qin Yunshang grabbed a piece of paper and said, "Why is there Japanese in it too?"

“This is Japan,” Chen Ya said. “Although we mainly attract Chinese people living in Japan, it would be profitable if we could attract locals. If you could speak Japanese, I would write all three songs in Japanese.”

Qin Yunshang said, "No, what I mean is, you can actually write Japanese songs?"

"I speak Japanese."

"Oh."

"There's even opera singing in this. Can she sing it?" Qin Yunchu asked, pointing to the markings on the manuscript.

Qin Yunshang, hands on hips and chest puffed out, said, "What, you look down on your little sister, huh?"

"If she can sing, she can sing; if she can't, she'll just do a mediocre performance," Chen Ya said. "When we get back to China, I can find someone else to sing this song."

"You, Chen Liang, you don't believe me either?!" Qin Yunshang said angrily, supporting herself on her hips. "Besides, where in the country can you find a better singer than me?!"

Qin Yunchu looked at her ignorant younger sister with worry.

Little sister.

You are still too young.

The two singers he could find back in China would be eager to fly to Japan to replace you.

……

The initial meeting between Beichen Group and Sanjiao Group was held on the 16th floor of the Financial Building.

The grand reception room can seat hundreds of people at once, and the 30-meter-long flat table in the middle alone can seat 50 or 60 people.

Liu Ruying devoted herself wholeheartedly to this meeting, working day and night.

Forget about traveling around Tokyo with Lu Qingxuan and the others, she barely has time to shower or sleep.

This meeting had a tight deadline and heavy tasks. With a team of 100 people, the daily expenses for food and sleep alone were astronomical.

Even causing a disturbance here, delaying the process by even half a day, could result in losses of millions.

Furthermore, this is a tripartite meeting. The Triangle Group is a Japanese giant, Beichen is a domestic leader, and Gu Yuqing's Yunshan Group is not far behind.

You can't let the other party lose face, nor can you lose face on your own. Seating, catering standards, and personnel arrangements are all carefully considered.

So, as a newcomer who had only been with the company for a short time and was still in her internship period, she was under tremendous pressure.

Having finally arranged everything, Liu Ruying glanced at Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing was dressed in a smart and professional office lady outfit today, which looked rather serious, but it was also quite charming when paired with her stunning figure.

She greets and sees off guests with ease, moving gracefully among the crowds. Even without speaking Japanese, she remains poised and elegant.

Liu Ruying had a bit of a longing, wondering if she could become someone like her.

"I'm coming!"

A colleague whispered a reminder to Liu Ruying, who jolted awake and sat up straight.

At the same time, she was also full of anticipation.

However, when she saw a sinister-looking man stride in with Gu Yuqing through the main gate, she was still a little disappointed.

She thought it was Chen Ya who had arrived.

"Who is that?" Liu Ruying asked.

“Shinjiro Asai,” a colleague said. “This is the main course this time. He is the current CEO of the Triangle Group.”

Liu Ruying secretly memorized the man's face.

She noticed a detail: when Gu Yuqing walked in with this person, he seemed a little disgusted.

It seems to be due to the patriarchal mentality of the Japanese; they are more accustomed to women following behind them.

Gu Yuqing is so magnanimous and doesn't back down, so he's probably not very satisfied.

After Shinjiro took his seat, Gu Yuqing sat directly opposite him. She saw the man frown and say something, at which point the female translator beside him immediately said:

"Mr. Shinjiro asked, 'Has the representative from Hokushin not arrived yet? Why are they late?'"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Ruying knew that the negotiation would not go smoothly.

As expected of a local bully, he's got some guts; he tries to intimidate people right from the start.

Chapter 461 In My Time

Faced with Asai Shinjiro's somewhat aggressive attitude, Gu Yuqing simply smiled slightly.

"What, Mr. Asai, do you think I'm not important enough to represent you in this discussion?"

After the translator conveyed the sentence verbatim, the other party did not offer any further comment.

"Beichen Company was the one that took the initiative to contact us, but its leaders were not present. Doesn't that seem rather impolite?"

Gu Yuqing's expression turned sharp.

Ishikawa Takashi sat to the side, awkwardly pushing up his glasses.

As a tech geek, it would be quite an achievement if he could keep his hands from shaking, let alone chat and laugh with the other person.

A colleague standing next to Liu Ruying leaned over and whispered, "This person doesn't seem friendly."

Liu Ruying nodded. She could also tell that the other party wanted to gain the upper hand right from the start.

Asai Shinjiro carefully observed Gu Yuqing's reaction, his hands covering his back, a slight smile of triumph appearing on his lips.
