Chapter 127: Control Myself A Little
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“President Nan, it’s me.”
“Who is it?”
As soon as Nan Zhe said this, the woman on the other end of the phone fell silent.
After a few seconds, she smiled and introduced herself. “It’s me, Qi Jia.”
“What is it?”
“I wanted to explain. I just heard from my agent about that set of jewelry. We contacted the brand directly previously. The brand did not say that they had already lent it out, so we borrowed it. I really did not know.”
“This matter is purely the brand’s mistake. If I had known from the beginning, I would definitely have stopped it.”
“President Nan, I’m sorry. My manager said that you just came to take away the set of jewelry. I certainly hope this didn’t cause any delays with your shoot.”
“No.” Nan Zhe looked straight ahead and parked the car in front of him. His voice was cold and there was no fluctuation in it.
Qi Jia took a deep breath and continued to apologize. “It’s indeed because our team didn’t communicate properly. I’m sorry, such a thing will never happen again. Why don’t you give me her number and I’ll explain it to her?”
“Although we met at the award ceremony, we never exchanged contact details.”
“Is it convenient for you now? Can you give me Xiao Xiao’s number?”
Nan Zhe did not listen carefully to what she said in the beginning, but in the end, he heard a very unfamiliar name.
“Who is Xiao Xiao?”
“Huh? It’s the person who borrowed that set of jewelry this time. Don’t you know her?” Qi Jia was also a little stunned. After realizing that he did not know her, her nervousness turned into ecstasy.
Xiao Xiao had just debuted not long ago. Last year, she became famous because she acted in a low-budget online drama. Coincidentally, the budget online drama release coincided with the drama she was starring in. During last year’s award ceremony, Xiao Xiao almost snatched the Best Actress award from her.
From then on, the two of them became enemies. She indeed did not know about the jewelry incident at first, but after she found out, she did not want to hand the jewelry over. She asked her manager to turn a blind eye and ignore Xiao Xiao’s team.
She originally thought that this matter was over. How could a C or D-list celebrity like Xiao Xiao compete with her? Unexpectedly, Nan Zhe suddenly came over.
Ever since she debuted, she had signed with an entertainment company under Nan Zhe’s name. If her superior came to ask for something, how could her manager dare not give it to him?
When she heard her manager say this, she was still very surprised. This was because they had never heard of Nan Zhe being related to that C-list celebrity.
However, now was not the time to think about this. She quickly stopped work and called Nan Zhe to apologize.
“No, I don’t.”
Nan Zhe did not say anything else. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
Qi Jia had known him for a few years and knew his temper. If he was really angry, he would definitely reprimand her directly. If he asked her to hang up now, it meant that this matter was over.
She tactfully hung up the phone and did not dare to exchange any more pleasantries, afraid that she would get into trouble.
“How is it? How did it go t” The manager immediately went forward. “Did President Nan get angry?
“I don’t think so.” However, Qi Jia was still very puzzled. “If he’s not doing this for Xiao Xiao, could it be just a coincidence?”
The manager took out his phone. “I’ll ask later.”
After a few minutes, the manager said, “They’ve already gotten the jewelry. President Nan personally sent it over. It’s not a coincidence!”
“But President Nan says he doesn’t know Xiao Xiao…”
Qi Jia was a little indignant. She pressed her manager’s hand. “Hurry up and find out more.”
As soon as Nan Zhe entered, the receptionist hurriedly walked out. “Sister Yan has instructed you to wait for her in her lounge. It might be a little messy upstairs and downstairs because there are some outsiders around. It’s not very convenient.”
Hearing this, Nan Zhe raised his eyebrows slightly. In his memory, Qi Yan had an unrestrained personality, but she was now attentive.
The receptionist helped him prepare coffee and went out. Qi Yan’s lounge was not big, so he could see everything.
Nan Zhe did not even need to get up and walk around. He could see everything just by looking around where he was.
Compared to the lounge, this place was more like a storeroom.
There was a very small sofa bed inside. Qi Yan would probably stay here if she worked overtime and ended work late.
Nan Zhe really wanted to smoke, but in the end, he gave up.
Looking around, he finally took Qi Yan’s chewing gum from the table. His smoking addiction was acting up, so he had to eat something.
As dinner approached, Shen Yanqing brought Nan Ge to eat first. He planned to go walk around with her later.
Nan Ge was indeed a little hungry. “What are we going to eat?”
“Anything is fine.” Shen Yanqing asked her what she wanted to eat now.
Nan Ge thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she owed him a meal.
“Why don’t we… go eat hotpot?”
The last time on Valentine’s Day, he said that he would pay for dinner on Valentine’s Day and asked her to bring him to try hotpot next time.
Of course, Shen Yanqing would not refuse. “Which restaurant do you want to go to? Or should we find one nearby?”
Nan Ge swiped through her phone and gave him an address. “Let’s go to this one. My roommates and I usually go to this place, and the soup base here is definitely authentic!”
“Okay.” Shen Yanqing smiled and gestured for Gao to change the address.
After arriving at the hotpot restaurant, Shen Yanqing handed the task of ordering to Nan Ge.
After Nan Ge received the menu, she immediately ordered the authentic soup base. However, not long after she ordered, something suddenly flashed across her mind.
Seeing that she was sitting opposite him and did not move for a long time,
Shen Yanqing probed, “Have you ordered?”
“Ah, no, no.” Nan Ge shook her head. She quickly crossed out the red oil soup base she had selected at the bottom of the menu with a pen and chose a tomato soup base.
She chose a few more dishes. “All done now.”
When the waiter saw the smear marks on it, he carefully checked with her.
“Ma’am, do you want to change this red oil soup base to the tomato-flavored
“Correct.”
“Alright, would you like to order the signature spicy beef?”
“No need. We can’t eat spicy food.”
The soup base and spicy beef were the restaurant’s signature specials.
Everyone ordered those. Many people had specially come just to try those.
Therefore, when the waiter saw that Nan Ge did not order either of them, he deliberately asked.
After the waiter left, Nan Ge looked up and met Shen Yanqing’s gaze.
“Actually, you don’t have to specially accommodate me.” Shen Yanqing saw her intentions. “It’s fine for you to order those.”
Nan Ge rested her elbows on the table and held her face as she looked at him. She replied seriously, “I’m fine. I really can’t eat spicy food recently, or I’ll get acne. I have to control myself a little.”
While waiting for the meal, Nan Ge kept her head lowered. After a while, she called out to him, “Shen Yanqing, give me your hand.”
“Huh?” Seeing how mysterious she was, Shen Yanqing could not help but be curious.
He raised his hand and flipped it up. In the next second, Nan Ge placed a little rabbit in his hand..o
