Chapter 2006  : Godmother? *

Ye Qingqiu had always felt that Li Tingshen was only talking about a few days. However, after staying here for another three days, Li Tingshen didn’t mention sending her home.

Because of her role, Luo Luo had not been on set recently, but she had not fallen behind in her work at the restaurant.

Sometimes, she would play two songs for Ye Qingqiu at noon.

Ye Qingqiu would also treat her to a meal.

However, when Ye Qingqiu arrived at the restaurant at noon today, the expressions of the waiters were off. Knowing that Ye Qingqiu had a good relationship with Luo Luo recently, they whispered to her,

“Little Ye, Luoluo has been called away by the manager for a long time. She should be fired.”

Ye Qingqiu was puzzled. “What happened?”

The two waiters shook their heads and said, “We don’t know. When Luoluo came today, we saw that her expression wasn’t right. She played a few wrong notes at work and was pointed out by a few customers. Most of the customers in our restaurant are very particular. It’s fine if it was just once, but after being complained about repeatedly, the manager naturally flew into a rage.”

At this moment, another waiter walked over. They had attended the gathering that day.

She looked a little worried. “I heard that Luoluo’s role has been replaced by someone else.”

Ye Qingqiu frowned immediately.

Anyone could tell that Luo Luo had placed all her hopes on this role.

Had she been replaced?

“Didn’t you say that the roles have been decided? Capital involvement?”

A few waiters looked a little resentful and regretful. “In the entertainment industry, it’s normal for such things to be abnormal. Now, anyone can act. Moreover, their acting skills are terrible. Isn’t it because some women have found a sugar daddy? Luoluo is so pitiful. She can even bump into a supporting role. Why don’t those people fight for the lead role and the first supporting role if they have money? They’re so unlucky…”

Ye Qingqiu’s expression turned cold. “What’s the name of Luoluo’s drama? What role?”

“Ah, didn’t we say many times at the gathering that day that Luo Luo’s character is Su Su, the personal servant of the female strategist? She’s said to be a servant, but she’s talented and intelligent. In the end, she was stabbed to death by the villain for the male and female leads. Such a character is the most likable and saddest character.”

‘Jenlong Bureau?’

Su Su?

“I understand.” Ye Qingqiu fell silent for a while before walking towards the changing room.

Opening the door, she saw Luo Luo sitting on the floor, leaning against the wardrobe in a daze.

Hearing the commotion, she looked up and saw Ye Qingqiu. She hurriedly stood up.

“You’re here.”

Ye Qingqiu walked towards her and only stopped when she was almost touching Luo Luo’s body. She reached out to pinch her chin and sized her up carefully.

Luo Luo was at a loss for words. “Little Ye, you…”

“Have you cried?”

As Ye Qingqiu spoke, Luo Luo suddenly pursed her lips. She almost burst into tears.

“This face is not bad. Why don’t… I support you?”

Luo Luo’s surprised expression froze.

“Huh?”

Ye Qingqiu retracted her hand and threw her bag on a chair.

“If it’s really a competition of capital, I’ll give you this role.”

Luo Luo looked even more shocked.

Ye Qingqiu smiled. “You don’t want to be with me? Then why don’t you acknowledge me as your godmother?”

Luo Luo was dumbfounded.

“Little… Ye? What are you talking about?”

“I said I’m rich. If your role is really a capital intervention, I can help you.”

Luo Luo paused for a second before her eyes widened in shock.

“You… can’t!”

“Why not? Do you think I don’t have the ability?”

Luoluo shook her head and said, “Even if you have the ability, you can’t do this. I… don’t have the ability to repay you. I don’t dare to ask for too much. With my current financial ability, I can spend as much money as I want. I don’t want to be in debt. It feels terrible to be in debt, and it’s such a huge sum…”

“If there’s no investment, there’s no return. Capital involvement in the industry has become the norm. If you don’t have the capital, you deserve to be squeezed out. You’ve finally gotten the role, but you’re giving it up for nothing?”

Luoluo, no one will pity you. The role is not irreplaceable. If it’s not you, it will be someone else. But if you miss the opportunity, it will never come again. You will never meet a second me. Every choice is a turning point in life. Everyone has to be ambitious.”

It was just like how there wouldn’t be a second Li Tingshen in this world. The position beside him would be hers or someone else’s. Hence, she wanted to occupy the position beside him. Every step she took was for the sake of turning the tables.

Everyone had to be ambitious. For example, she had gotten what she wanted now.

Tears welled up in Luo Luo’s eyes. “Little Ye, I like acting, but I don’t like this industry anymore.” Tears streamed down her face. “It’s not like I’ve never had my role stolen before. I’ve more or less followed the rules of this industry. The publicity this time is so intense. How can the most confident investor and the best director have such a thing?”

Her eyes were filled with tears as she finally began to vent the grievances in her heart. Her sobs were intermittent.

“This drama is obviously targeting the major awards next year. How can anyone be allowed to joke around?

Little Ye, do you know what I mean? The investor doesn’t lack money, unless… unless the investor wants to do it himself… You can’t compete with the investor of a drama with your personal capital. It’s not worth it…”

Ye Qingqiu understood.

The person who replaced Luo Luo and arranged for someone else to replace her was none other than the investor of this drama.

Frowning, she asked, “Do you know who the investor is?”

Luo Luo shook her head. “I’m not sure. The advertisement says that it’s a C&P Media. I don’t have any impression of this company. It should be a new media company.”

Ye Qingqiu narrowed her eyes slowly. “New company?”

Luo Luo nodded. “Yes.”

The two of them had agreed to have dinner together.

A few days ago, Li Tingshen came back to cook dinner. There weren’t many dishes, but it was enough for two people.

Ye Qingqiu came back early today and went to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out a few dishes.

Then, she searched for a few recipes on her phone and began to prepare the ingredients slowly. When everything was ready, Ye Qingqiu placed the pot on the gas stove and crossed her arms. She stood in front of the stove and stared at it.

After waiting for a long time, she walked to the side and put on the insulated gloves beside the microwave before reaching out to turn the switch.

When the flames rose, she took two steps back with a pale face. Then, she held her breath and went over to scatter some.

Then, the ingredients were poured in one after another, followed by the dishes.

Anyway, it would be cooked in the end. It didn’t matter when it was poured in.

That was what Ye Qingqiu thought.

She was not a chef. If she could swallow it, she would be considered quite successful.

The moment Li Tingshen opened the door, the smoky apartment was filled with an inexplicable smell of stir-fried vegetables.

Frowning, she changed her shoes and walked in. There were three dishes on the table. The soup in the middle was so clear that only a few pieces of coriander could be seen.

He raised an eyebrow and looked up at the kitchen. However, a voice sounded from behind him. “You’re back?”

Turning around, Ye Qingqiu had probably just showered. She was wearing her pajamas and drying her hair. She stood at the entrance of the restaurant and looked at him.

Li Tingshen opened the windows in the apartment.

“You’re not allowed to enter the kitchen again.”

Sooner or later, this house would be reimbursed by her.

“It’s rare for me to cook dinner for you. You don’t even want to eat?”

Li Tingshen looked at her. “You don’t think I should despise it?”

“You’re not eating?”

Ye Qingqiu wrapped her hair with a towel before fixing it. She walked to the dining table and supported herself with one hand as she looked at him lazily.

Li Tingshen took off his coat and sat down.

She saw that the rice was white and fragrant.

It was too easy to cook rice. It was all done intelligently and there were instructions online. It couldn’t be easier to follow.

Ye Qingqiu watched as he picked up his chopsticks before sitting opposite him.

Li Tingshen put some food into his mouth and his face froze.

Ye Qingqiu forced herself to swallow and smiled at him without saying anything.

Li Tingshen looked up and asked her, “Why aren’t you eating?”

Ye Qingqiu glanced at the dishes on the table with unconcealable disdain.

“It doesn’t look good, and the taste is definitely bad.”

Li Tingshen stopped and looked up at her.

“Then you want me to eat it?”

Ye Qingqiu raised an eyebrow and picked up her chopsticks. “If you feel lonely, I can eat with you.”

Li Tingshen’s chopsticks caught Ye Qingqiu’s.

“Are you throwing a tantrum at me?”
