It was getting late. Qin Guan checked the time and poked Gu Yiming with his foot: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Gu Yiming smiled: "You didn't leave either."
These two people are also strange.
Qin Guan always acts like a domineering boss in front of others. He is extremely cold and arrogant, and he likes to provoke Gu Yiming.
Gu Yiming was the same. Although she had a very gentle temper, she was tit-for-tat with Qin Guan and refused to give in.
Qin Guan boasted: "We will stay tonight."
Gu Yiming still smiled: "I'll stay tonight too."
Qin Guan sneered, "You can only sleep on the sofa. I have reserved the bed in the study."
Lin Jiaqiao was puzzled: "What are you fighting about? Don't you always sleep in my room and I sleep in the study? ... Or do you two want to sleep in the study together?"
The bed in the study is not a bed, but it actually looks more like a chaise longue.
Lin Jiaqiao looked at Qin Guan, then at Gu Yiming, "... Actually, I don't care."
When they went to bed at night, Qin Guan took the initiative to lie down near the door and warned: "Don't hug me secretly while I'm sleeping."
Gu Yiming is a warm-hearted man, but he is too lazy to give warmth to Qin Guan. He rolled his eyes, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
In the darkness, Gu Yiming asked: "What happened to you today?"
Qin Guan said: "I won't tell you."
Gu Yiming: "... Why did Zhizhi suddenly want to change Uncle Lin's car?"
Qin Guan thought of He Youwei's words.
Does Lin Jiaqiao think that Lin Dapeng’s car is not good enough
But she is not that kind of person.
Gu Yiming said: "Ask her clearly when you send her to work tomorrow."
"I know." Qin Guan held the corner of the quilt: "Come to think of it, why didn't Lao Lin change his car? His family is not without money. He is the captain after all, Shuanghuan is not worthy of him."
Gu Yiming sighed: "You don't have a daughter, you don't understand."
Qin Guan said disdainfully, "You make it sound like you have a daughter."
Not sure if he fell asleep or not, Gu Yiming stopped talking, leaving Qin Guan alone, tormented by the question and unable to sleep.
He was not curious at first, but since Gu Yiming understood it, he had to understand it.
He was afraid of waking up Gu Yiming and making fun of him, so he lay still on the bed.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of Lin Dapeng getting up to go to the bathroom was heard in the living room, and he immediately jumped out of bed.
Gu Yiming closed his eyes and silently uttered two words: Idiot
Lin Dapeng had just walked into the living room when a man rushed out from the side. Out of his instinctive reaction as a criminal policeman, he almost knocked the man to the ground.
When he saw who it was, he asked unhappily, "Master, what are you doing?"
Qin Guan stared at Xia Sanbai's eyes and said, "Your family is obviously rich, why don't you change your car?"
Lin Dapeng was annoyed to death by this couple.
He waved his hand perfunctorily: "Children should stay out of the adult business."
Qin Guan pulled his sleeve to stop him from leaving. "No, you must tell me today. I'm dying of curiosity."
Lin Dapeng knew his temper well and knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he would have no chance of sleeping.
He said: "The money in the family is saved as a dowry for Zhizhi, and it cannot be touched."
Qin Guan was puzzled: "Zhizhi is marrying me, why do you need a dowry?"
He counted carefully: "I have houses. A villa, a school district house, and an apartment near her workplace. They are all furnished and ready for moving in. I also have a car."
"As for the wedding expenses, I have enough savings."
"She doesn't have to buy anything, why are you saving money for her?"
Lin Dapeng took out a cigarette box from under the coffee table, "You have it, it's you."
"You think I would have an affair!" Qin Guan was dissatisfied: "Look at Lin Zhizhi's skills. If I dare to have an affair, she will beat me to death."
Lin Dapeng: "…There's no need to be so frank."
He said, “That’s not what I meant.”
"I know your family won't mistreat Zhizhi. But I must prepare for her what a girl should have."
"It's not for anything else. I just think that whenever she sees these things, she will remember that I and her mother are here, and she has someone to rely on."
Qin Guan felt that he should make a promise to the father, but he also knew that promises were useless at this moment.
He could only ask: "Lin Zhizhi and I fell into the water, who would you save first?"
"Save you, save you. With Lin Zhizhi's physique, he can't swim to shore by himself, and even if he comes back to save us, we'll have enough money."
Lin Dapeng said dissatisfiedly, "It's not you two. I deposited the little money for Lin Zhizhi from a fixed deposit to a current account. Why haven't you two decided on your marriage yet?"
"Your dad was worried to me yesterday, saying that two of his classmates had died, and the money he gave as a gift was wasted."
Qin Guan was dissatisfied: "Why do you always criticize me? If you have the guts, you should push Lin Zhizhi. Every time she said she wanted to start a business, you would just say yes."
"I prepared my household registration booklet and got married with her when I was 22, but I don't know if she can give me a legal status when I'm 32."
The current situation is rather complicated, and Lin Dapeng can't tell whether the cabbages he grew were eaten by the pigs or the cabbages he grew were eaten by the pigs.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He raised his hand to chase him away, "Alright, Master Qin, go to bed quickly. You'll become bald if you stay up late."
He also reminded: "You two should leave early tomorrow and don't fight over the toilet at home."
While Lin Dapeng was in the bathroom, Qin Guan slipped into the study.
Looking at Lin Jiaqiao's sleeping face, he couldn't help but smile.
He lowered his head and wanted to give his girlfriend a goodnight kiss, but was caught on the spot by his future father-in-law and taken back to the room.
Lin Jiaqiao knew he was dreaming.
In her dream, she was standing on a small path on the back hill of the cemetery, surrounded by white snow.
She heard footsteps behind her and turned around to see that it was the young Qin Guan.
He looked about three or five years old, like a dumpling, and ran towards her with short legs.
Lin Jiaqiao stretched out her hand to him, and suddenly she felt a pain in her neck, and blood gushed out from her artery. Qin Guan in front of her had grown up, with a cigarette in his mouth, and his face and fingers were covered in bright red blood.
When he noticed that Lin Jiaqiao was looking at him, he smiled at her coldly, his teeth shining whitely against the backdrop of the blood.
Lin Jiaqiao was startled awake, his eyes were furry and his cheeks were a little warm.
It turned out that Qin Guan secretly kissed her while she was sleeping.
Lin Jiaqiao looked at Qin Guan in surprise, and Qin Guan just said, "Hurry up, we should leave, otherwise there will be a traffic jam."
"I bought fried dough sticks, steamed buns and soy milk. What do you want to eat?"
Although he was calm, his ears were red as if they were on fire.
Lin Jiaqiao thought, it wasn't him, it wasn't Qin Guan who killed him. He was coming from the wrong direction.
The newspaper where Lin Jiaqiao worked, "Youxian Dubao", was originally under the jurisdiction of the provincial government, but later became independent and responsible for its own profits and losses.
It was doing well in the beginning, with annual subscription revenue of more than 10 billion. But after the Internet era, like all traditional media, its living space was repeatedly squeezed and it was on the verge of bankruptcy several times.
Later, the newspaper was bought by a boss who changed to a studio model due to staff shortage, and the newspaper was also changed from a daily to a weekly.
This year is Lin Jiaqiao's second year as editor-in-chief.
Tik Tok and Kuaishou entered the market strongly this year, squeezing people’s already limited reading time even more. People are only willing to spend a few tens of seconds on text.
"Youxian Reading Newspaper" has always focused on "depth" and "connotation". In order to adapt to new changes, Lin Jiaqiao made the decision to "change style to adapt to fragmented reading."
She wanted to make the news more superficial and emotional to cater to the readers' tastes.
She started interning at Youxian Dubao before she graduated from college, and rose from intern to editor-in-chief. She was clear about the style of Youxian Dubao and knew that her approach was wrong, but she wanted to keep the magazine alive.
The vibration of the cell phone brought Lin Jiaqiao back to reality.
This is the morning push from 'Wei Guan News': A loser stands up for the mistress and makes a scene at a rich family's wedding.
The accompanying picture shows the wedding scene of Liu Yang and Xu Yalan, where everyone is pushing someone angrily.
He Youwei was originally a reporter for "Youxian Reading Newspaper". Later, she was fired by the newspaper's head due to misconduct.
"Wei Guan News" is her column in the new company. At the beginning, she was reporting news seriously, but the click-through rate was not good and it was almost cut in half. Later, she switched to a marketing account and relied on gossip to not only revitalize the column but also make a lot of money.
The two were waiting for the red light at this time, and Lin Jiaqiao handed the cell phone to Qin Guan.
Qin Guan enlarged the picture, "Is it Jiang Xing?"
Lin Jiaqiao shook his head: "I don't know, he doesn't look recognizable. And I haven't seen him since I graduated from college."
Qin Guan said: "It turns out that Jiang Xing was really there that day. I thought Liu Yang made it up to deceive people."
Lin Jiaqiao was puzzled, "You are too conspiracy-minded."
Qin Guan returned the phone to her: "Because we didn't see him at the scene."
"Remember, all the news about Jiang Xing was told to us by Liu Yang."
He was not very interested in the feud between Liu Yang and the others, so he changed the subject: "Why don't you blur the person involved? It's not good to publish other people's photos like this."
The photo taken by Weiguan News was very clever, it was when Jiang Xing had a ferocious look on his face and the couple was at a loss for words. The whole picture had an atmosphere of "they are a talented couple, what does it have to do with you, a monster?"
Lin Jiaqiao works in the media and is well aware of these little tricks.
She said disdainfully: "With this level of professionalism, it would be a shame if he didn't apply for a job at CNN."
At this time, the green light came on, and Qin Guan started the car again. He pretended to ask casually: "Speaking of which, why did you want to change the car for Lao Lin? Did He Youwei's words hurt you?"
Lin Jiaqiao had long forgotten what He Youwei had said. She asked blankly, "What does it have to do with her? I just—"
She wanted to say that she wanted to save Lin Dapeng, but was afraid that she would be considered a joke, so she said, "Remember the dream I had about Lao Lin getting into a car accident? I was scared by that dream."
Qin looked at her for a while, then reached out and touched her head: "Huluhuulumao, you won't be scared."
Lin Jiaqiao slapped his hand away, "I'm not a child."
