He Qing didn't stay long at Tianjiao Film and Television. After taking a quick tour and having a brief chat with Qin Ruojing, she returned to Papas Hotel.

Of course, she was taken back by Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing.

Back in the hotel room, He Qing was still recalling Chu Ge's imposing villain-like demeanor from earlier, and an earnest smile appeared on her beautiful face.

The female bodyguard sharing the room with her noticed not only was He Qing safe and sound, but also in a great mood, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was a bit surprised because such a genuine smile was quite rare on He Qing, who was usually always smiling.

"Is the house I picked almost ready?" He Qing asked the female bodyguard elegantly while sitting on a chair.

"It has been organized properly and can be moved into at any time," the female bodyguard replied.

He Qing nodded, then took out her phone, a faint smile on her lips, and dialed a number.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge was driving Qin Ruojing back to the company, with Qin Ruojing sitting in the passenger seat, her heart still unsettled.

"Chu Ge, what do you think Miss He's impression of me is? Is there a chance she'll help Tianjiao Film and Television?"

Chu Ge smiled and said carelessly, "I'm not her, how could I possibly know?"

Qin Ruojing originally wanted Chu Ge to give her some encouragement, but she didn't expect Chu Ge to brush her off like this. She rolled her eyes at him, aggrieved, and said, "Normally, at times like this, wouldn't a normal person say something to reassure others?"

Chu Ge shrugged, "Alright, she thinks super highly of you. Tomorrow, she'll bring along big names like Brother Fat and Star Grandpa to solve Tianjiao Film and Television's problems and even invest some money."

"Oh, come on. Can't you be serious for once?"

Chu Ge was perplexed, "How am I not being serious? If I say I don't know, it's not okay. If I go along with you, it's not okay either. You're making it really hard for me. Should I go back and ask for you?"

Looking at Chu Ge's earnest expression, Qin Ruojing was really defeated by him. She rubbed her forehead, feeling both amused and frustrated.

"You go and ask? Come on, don't be ridiculous. Even I find it hard to meet her, and if you go, you'll probably be thrown out by Miss He's bodyguards before you even get near her room."

Chu Ge smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Although He Qing's bodyguards were at the level of Zhongnanhai bodyguards, compared to him, they were nothing.

Feeling uncertain, Qin Ruojing didn't say anything further, and Chu Ge didn't disturb her either, focusing on driving the car back to the company.

Because of the ongoing college entrance exams, the areas around the schools designated as exam sites were all under lockdown. Chu Ge looked in the direction of Third High School from a distance, wondering where Shu Lulu was taking the exam this year and how difficult the exam questions were, and how well she could do.

However, when he thought of Shu Lulu wanting to tell Luo Suyun about their relationship and taking him to meet her mother, he felt a bit anxious, wishing the college entrance exams wouldn't end so quickly.

Back in Qin Ruojing's office, Chu Ge turned on the computer and started playing a landlord card game, while Qin Ruojing occasionally glanced at her phone, which wasn't on silent, or left her seat to pace around the room with a slight frown.

If anyone saw this scene, it would be hard to associate their behavior with their identities.

Chu Ge, as the secretary, didn't resemble one in the slightest, more like a master, while Qin Ruojing, the chairman, had lost her usual calmness and composure.

After all, this matter was extremely important to Qin Ruojing, and though she attempted several times to call He Qing, she ended up putting the phone back down each time she picked it up.

After all, given He Qing's status, she didn't want to give the impression that she was urging her, which could lead to He Qing's displeasure.

Compared to Qin Ruojing, Long Tao's mood was much worse. After receiving a call from Gao Zichang and learning about the events at the Longyun Temple, he flew into a rage and berated Gao Zichang for over ten minutes before hanging up.

If it weren't for the fact that Gao Zichang was his trusted aide, he would really have considered breaking one of Gao Zichang's legs.

Of course, he was even more furious with Qin Ruojing's driver, who had disrupted his plans and cracked a virtually unsolvable situation, causing his teeth to itch.

During this long wait, for Qin Ruojing, it felt like years were passing in a single day. She was absent-minded no matter what she did, but unfortunately, no matter how long she waited, He Qing didn't call her back.

Seeing Qin Ruojing so restless, Chu Ge didn't try to comfort her, knowing that she might not listen to anything said now. Instead, he continued playing his own card games and watching movies, appearing completely at ease.

After work, Chu Ge dropped off the anxious Qin Ruojing at the Huafu Garden District. He planned to take the bus home, but Qin Ruojing handed him the car keys and let him keep the Audi A8.

Chu Ge didn't refuse, agreeing on a time to pick her up in the morning, and drove off in Qin Ruojing's car.

It's true that having a car is really convenient. Leaning back in the comfortable seat, inhaling the fragrance lingering from Qin Ruojing, and listening to the blues music from the car stereo, it was indeed a relaxing experience.

Last night, after messing around with Tong Yaqi several times and climbing a mountain in the morning, Chu Ge was too lazy to cook at home. So he simply drove his Audi A8 to buy a pancake roll with egg and chicken fillet at a roadside stall.

When he lowered the car window and took out money to order the pancake roll with extra egg and chicken fillet next to the food trailer, the lady inside and a few customers waiting for their food were stunned. They had indeed never encountered a customer who drove such a luxury car to such a stall to buy a pancake roll.

Originally, there were a few people ahead of Chu Ge, but the lady still gave the first pancake roll to him, and none of the other waiting customers said a word.

When handing Chu Ge the pancake roll, the lady deliberately used two extra bags and added some napkins, fearing the expensive-looking suit he'd worn or the interior of the A8 might get soiled.

Chu Ge was truly a bit hungry. He apologized to the few people beside the trailer, then took the pancake roll, steering with one hand and holding the food with the other, eating while driving under the puzzled gazes of others.

After quickly finishing the pancake roll, Chu Ge didn't go home directly but parked in front of the Encounter Bar. It wasn't to seek more fun but simply because he liked the atmosphere there, just wanting to listen to some music, have a drink, and then go back for a good sleep.

As soon as he entered the bar, Chu Ge casually glanced around and couldn't help but smile, not expecting to run into an acquaintance there.

In his line of sight, Mu Lingshan was sitting in the same spot where he last saw her, not in her police uniform, but in the same casual outfit.

A white top with pink shoulders and English letters, worn denim shorts, and a pair of trendy little black shoes.

On the table in front of her were a few bottles of beer, one of which was already empty.

Thinking about the series of events since he met Mu Lingshan, Chu Ge found it quite amusing. Since he was free at the moment, he couldn't help but have the idea to tease her a bit.

"This lovely lady, isn't it boring drinking alone? How about joining me?"

Walking to Mu Lingshan's side, Chu Ge spoke with a smile, like a gentleman.

"Don't bother me... Chu Ge?"

Mu Lingshan was about to decline reflexively, but suddenly felt the voice sounded familiar. Turning her head, she was met with Chu Ge's cheerful face.

Her gaze swept over Chu Ge, noticing he was wearing a suit valued at about a hundred thousand yuan, his hair obviously freshly styled, with the appearance of a rich bachelor. Mu Lingshan's expression turned odd.

With Mu Lingshan's peculiar gaze on him, Chu Ge grinned, "Haha, it's me. What? Can't recognize me just because I dressed up a little? Or are you dazzled by my handsome looks?"

Mu Lingshan gave Chu Ge a sidelong glance and snorted through her nose, "I've seen narcissists, but none like you. Did you win the lottery, or did some woman buy you?"

Chu Ge smiled slightly and sat down on the sofa opposite Mu Lingshan, "The way you put it. Can't I earn enough for a suit by my own skills?"

Mu Lingshan looked at Chu Ge with contempt, "You? What skills do you have? Besides winning the lottery or being bought, I can't think of any other way you could afford such an expensive suit, which would take years of my salary to buy."

Just after Mu Lingshan finished speaking, a young man wearing a white shirt and black British-style vest walked over, staring at Chu Ge with an extremely excited expression.

"Oh my, oh my! It's truly you!"

This sudden, stammering voice startled Mu Lingshan. She looked at the young man, then at Chu Ge, puzzled.

What's going on here? Is this guy crazy?

Ignoring such a beautiful woman like me, yet showing this expression to Chu Ge?

Could he be Chu Ge's close buddy?

Thinking of this, Mu Lingshan felt a chill, but she stayed put, genuinely curious to see why this person came over.

In fact, not only was Mu Lingshan puzzled, but Chu Ge was even more baffled. He had never seen this young man in front of him and had no idea why he was so excited.

Calling him a master? What kind of master? Feng Shui master?

Seeing Chu Ge's confused look, the young man smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "Master, I'm sorry, I was impolite. Let me introduce myself. I'm Guo Hao, a newly hired bartender here. This is my certified bartender's license. Please have a look, Master."

Even though the bartender named Guo Hao spoke up, Mu Lingshan was even more confused.

Master? Chu Ge? What is this?
