Chapter 70: This Soft Rice Really Is Tasty!
[Wow, we sure are running into a lot of people we know today.]
As Du An Rao complained in her heart, everyone noticed Ms. Qiu and her son walking toward them.
“President Qiu, you’re here too.”
Madam Xie also knew Ms. Qiu. Seeing the mother and son, she was a bit surprised. After all, this woman was famous for disliking social events like this.
“Yes. We ran into a little accident on the road and ended up a bit late. We almost missed Miss Du and Master Du.”
Ms. Qiu and her son really had only just arrived. As soon as they came in, they heard about Du Yu Xi’s situation.
Only then did they suddenly understand what Madam Li had meant that day when she said “my child”.
The mother and son had searched inside for a long time and didn’t find them, so they thought the Du sisters had already left. They hadn’t expected to meet them on the way out instead.
“These last two days I’ve been busy handling some company matters and didn’t get the chance to visit in person to express my thanks. That was very rude of me. Just now I heard someone say they saw Master Du and Miss Du here, so I came over to try my luck. I’m glad I didn’t miss you.”
While Ms. Qiu spoke, she gently pushed her son forward: “Master Du, this is my son. If it hadn’t been for your warning that day, he would probably already have…”
Ms. Qiu didn’t want to think about what else might have happened that day. Qiu Ji Chen quickly stepped up to cut off the topic.
“My mom already told me what happened that day. Thank you, Master Du, for saving my life. From now on, if you ever need help from either of us, we won’t say no.”
Ms. Qiu hurried to add: “Whatever Ji Chen says goes for me too.”
“You’re both too polite. You already paid for that day’s work. Those two sets of jewelry are very pretty. My sister and I both like them a lot.”
But how could dead things compare to a living person? Mother and son answered the same thing in their hearts.
They didn’t argue with Du An Rao, though. They only quietly remembered this favor and liked her even more for not taking credit.
Thinking of this, Du An Rao suddenly remembered what had happened with Ye Zhi Huan before. The Ye family parents had been very worried that Ye Zhi Huan would stay single for life because of heartbreak. She wondered if Ms. Qiu had similar worries.
With that thought, she couldn’t help giving Qiu Ji Chen a couple more looks.
The Qiu family mother and son already had all their attention on her. Seeing this, their hearts both skipped a beat: “Master Du, did something happen to Ji Chen again?”
“Don’t worry, I was just taking a look at his True Fated Match. That doesn’t need to be rushed. I’d guess she’ll show up in two or three years, and she should be someone right within your sight. Don’t go searching all over the world anymore.”
Hearing this, Qiu Ji Chen’s already dark face flushed red like fresh burning coal.
After he went home that day, he had searched for some related news reports.
He found out that the people sitting behind the computer, “dating” him online, were very likely not shy, cute little girls at all, but big, bulky men, tall and thick, weighing over two hundred pounds. That night he even had a nightmare. In it, a huge fat man covered in soft flesh crushed him like Mount Tai. He was pinned by sleep paralysis the whole night.
When he woke up the next day, he still felt shaken. His mood was so gloomy that he didn’t want to talk to anyone.
“Other than that, there’s nothing else. Mr. Qiu’s life numbers are pretty good. He doesn’t need much interference. After going through this tribulation, if he does more good deeds and treats people kindly, he can avoid harm and gain endless blessings.”
Qiu Ji Chen nodded again and again, thinking of how his mother had often donated money to Project Hope in the past, building up merit for his father who had died young.
Maybe because of that, Heaven Above had guided this Master Du to meet his mother and save his own life in the dark. It proved that doing good deeds really worked!
Hearing what Du An Rao said, Ms. Qiu was already calculating in her heart how much money she should give to Project Hope this quarter, so that they could build a few more schools in remote mountain areas.
Once he was sure his tribulation had passed, Qiu Ji Chen finally relaxed. Only then did he, as President, notice Du He Xuan standing beside the two Du sisters.
He stared at this oddly familiar man for a while, then finally confirmed it and called out: “Du… Film Emperor Du?”
Always the center of attention wherever he went before this, and never ignored like this, Du He Xuan’s eyelids twitched: “General Manager Qiu.”
“It really is you! I never thought I’d run into you here.” Qiu Ji Chen very tactfully reached out to shake Du He Xuan’s hand. “You and the two Miss Du are…?”
“They’re my sisters.”
“So you’re Master Du and Miss Du’s brother!” Qiu Ji Chen shook his hand even more warmly. “What a huge stroke of fate. It just so happens that we have several new men’s pieces this season. I wonder if I could have the honor of asking Film Emperor Du to shoot a promo ad for them?”
Anyone with eyes could tell that this suggestion was aimed at Du An Rao.
The corner of Du He Xuan’s mouth twitched. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard Du An Rao ask from the side: “Second Brother is going to shoot a jewelry commercial?”
“Uh…”
“That’s great. I always thought the jewelry from Yayu Jade House looks especially classy on Second Brother. It really suits you and looks super good. When the commercial is done, can you send it to me to watch?”
Du He Xuan had been a bit hesitant at first, but in the end he couldn’t resist his sister’s starry eyes at all and surrendered on the spot.
“Of course, I’d be happy to.” With the Divine Spirits three feet above as his witness, it wasn’t that his knees were too soft. It was just that this soft rice really was tasty!
With this deal made so easily, Qiu Ji Chen was very satisfied: “Pleasure working with you.”
“Pleasure working with you.”
Ye Meng Zhen and the others watched with their own eyes as Du He Xuan lay down and won, earning a new product commercial for free just because of a few words from Du An Rao. They were stunned for a long time.
After Du He Xuan personally drove the two Du sisters away, Madam Xie moved over to Ms. Qiu’s side to ask what exactly was going on.
Ms. Qiu had already heard inside about the rumors between Du Yu Xi and the Li family. She also knew the past friendship between Madam Xie and the Li family’s Second Madam when she was alive, so she was very willing to give the Du sisters a push.
So she told in full detail how she had run into the Du sisters at the mall with Madam Li that day, how they had used physiognomy to see that Qiu Ji Chen would be in danger, and how they had carefully guided her to rescue her son far away overseas.
After listening, Madam Xie was deeply shocked: “This is just too…”
Ms. Qiu let out a long sigh: “At first I didn’t believe it either, but it was about Ji Chen, so I had to be careful. Looking back now, I’m glad I believed. If something had really happened to Ji Chen, I don’t think I could go on living.”
“Mom!”
Ms. Qiu took her son’s hand and shook her head, saying nothing more.
“What she said is true. This sister of Du Yu Xi really does have some real skill.”
Normally, when elders were talking like this, it wouldn’t be proper for Ye Meng Zhen to cut in, especially since both women here were big figures. One wrong word could bring trouble to her family.
But when she thought of her brother, who was still lying at home so bored he could only watch dramas on Tian Tian, play games, and grow mushrooms, Ye Meng Zhen felt she had the duty to speak up for Du An Rao.
