Chapter 213: Suspicion
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There was a faint and familiar fragrance in the air.
He seemed to have smelled this fragrance just now. Was it an illusion?
Han Liubai lay on the bed and vaguely sensed someone enter. He turned his head with great effort and saw Lin Qingqian standing at the door in a daze.
“Director Lin…” He pursed his lips, his voice still very weak.
Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and restrained the doubts in her eyes.
She walked to the bed and sat down as if nothing had happened. “Do you feel better?”
Han Liubai’s throat moved as he nodded.
Seeing that his lips were a little dry, Lin Qingqian poured a glass of water, inserted a straw, and brought it to his mouth. “Drink some water.”
“Thank you.”
He finished most of the glass of water and said slowly, “Have you caught the culprit?”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “They said that he has mental problems, but we’re still investigating the details.”
Han Liu’s white curly eyelashes lowered, casting a green shadow at the corner of his eyes. “I don’t think so. He came directly for you.”
“I know, but the police need evidence to do things.” Lin Qingqian explained.
He took a deep breath and looked at her. “You have to be careful. Don’t come to the hospital unless there’s something important. I have the doctors and nurses to take care of me.”
Lin Qingqian glanced at his back with an apologetic look in her eyes. In the end, she had implicated him.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
Han Liubai nodded indifferently and asked, “Did President Jiang send someone to protect you?”
“Yes, he even left Lu Yuan for me to use,” Lin Qingqian replied. “Rest well and don’t think too much. It’s tiring.”
Han Liubai’s pale lips moved. “Alright, go ahead and do your work. Don’t worry about me.”
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. “Rest well then. I’ll come and see you later.”
Han Liubai nodded slightly. Then, as if he was very tired, he slowly closed his eyes.
Lin Qingqian stood up and walked out of the ward.
Lu Yuan was guarding the door. When he saw her come out, he said respectfully, “Miss Lin.”
“I want to go back to the company,” Lin Qingqian said directly.
Lu Yuan: “I’ll get the chauffeur to bring the car over immediately.”
The two bodyguards from before were too careless and had already been replaced. Now, the bodyguard was a retired soldier that Lu Yuan had carefully selected. Not only was he a chauffeur, but he could also protect Lin Qingqian.
Just as Lin Qingqian walked into the company, Su Ying hurriedly came over and asked, “Sister Qingqian, is Designer Han alright?”
“His life is not in danger, but he has to be hospitalized for a period of time.” Lin Qingqian didn’t hide Han Liubai’s situation from her. “His work will be handed over to others for the time being. Tell me if there’s anything you can’t handle.”
Su Ying nodded. “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now.”
Lin Qingqian was about to take a step when Suisui ran over. “Qianqian,
Qianqian…”
“Slow down, don’t always be so energetic.” Just as she was about to collide with her, Lin Qingqian reached out and grabbed her shoulder to prevent herself from being bumped.
Suisui stabilized herself and stuck out her tongue. She couldn’t wait and blurted out, “Qianqian, White has just announced that its cooperation with Sheng Yan will be terminated! l”
“Hahaha… It’s really the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Who has the heavens spared! Who told him to despise us. Now, the boat has capsized.
Hahahaha…
Lin Qingqian was stunned. “What did you say?
Suisui exclaimed, “Didn’t you talk to White and ask them to do this?”
Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her. “What are you thinking? How can I interfere with White’s internal decisions?”
Suisui blinked and thought for a moment. “Could it be that White also knows that Sheng Yan is not a good person and immediately terminated the contract to avoid losses?”
With that, she couldn’t help but gloat. ‘Who cares! In any case, I’m happy to see
Sheng Yan not doing well. Hahahahaha…”
Lin Qingqian was not surprised that White would terminate the contract with Sheng Yan. She was only surprised that White would act so quickly!
The image of meeting Xu Wanlan in the hospital involuntarily flashed across her mind.
She appeared at the hospital so early in the morning. And saw her, she didn’t mention this matter at all. When she returned, she immediately announced that she would terminate her contract with Sheng Yan…
What was the connection?
“Qianqian! Qianqian!!”
“Huh?” Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked at her blankly.
Suisui was puzzled. “What are you thinking about? Your phone rang. Didn’t you hear it?”
Only then did Lin Qingqian notice that her cell phone was ringing. When she saw that it was a call from Vin, she immediately picked it up. “Vin…” As she answered the call, she gave Suisui a look and walked towards her office.
Vin’s voice was a little anxious on the other end of the phone. “Have you seen the announcement about White?”
“I didn’t look, but I heard that they want to terminate their contract with Sheng Yan.” Lin Qingqian closed the office door, hung her handbag on the hanger, and walked to her desk to sit down.
Vin: “Originally, we decided that Sheng Yan would be the theme for our Summer issue. But now that Sheng Yan’s contract has been terminated, we have to replace him. It’s very difficult to find a suitable candidate for the time being. ”
Lin Qingqian said helplessly, “I can’t help you with this problem. In terms of connections in the entertainment industry, I can’t compare to you.”
“The veteran celebrities I know either don’t have available schedules or have already left the industry. Can’t you help me think of a solution?” Vin sounded a little anxious.
It wasn’t easy for Z Magazine to use Li Wenwen to make a comeback. If they didn’t do the theme well this time, they would easily be beaten back to their original state.
“The people I interact with are all current popular celebrities. If you don’t mind, I can recommend them.” Lin Qingqian’s red lips curled up slightly. “For example… Lu Qinshang!”
Vin was silent for a moment. “Forget it.”
Lu Qinshang’s persona has become stranger and stranger recently. It didn’t match Z Magazine.
Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but smile. “If there’s a suitable candidate, I’ll recommend him to you. You can also ask White for their opinion.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up and getting busy.
In the afternoon, Sheng Yan’s manager called Lin Qingqian, wanting to meet her.
It was obvious that the current public opinion was very disadvantageous to
Sheng Yan. The team was already at their wits’ end and could only look for Lin Qingqian to see if they could reconcile this matter and save Sheng Yan’s reputation.
Initially, Lin Qingqian didn’t want to see them, but in the end, the other party refused to let them off. If Lin Qingqian was unwilling to see them, they would come to the company.
Lin Qingqian could only get Lu Yuan to prepare the car.
In the morning, the sky was still clear, but in the afternoon, dark clouds filled the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain at any time.
Under the guidance of the Manager, Lin Qingqian walked into the private room of the private clubhouse. The bodyguard behind her was stopped.
The Manager: “Mr. Sheng said that only Miss Lin can go in.”
The bodyguard was expressionless. His rough facial features were firm, and his attitude was very domineering. It was clear that he was resolute to follow her inside.
Lin Qingqian lowered her eyebrows and spun the bracelet on her wrist. She said casually, “Either let him follow, or I’ll leave now.” “This—I‘ The Manager looked troubled.
Seeing this, Lin Qingqian turned around and left.
“Wait.” Sheng Yan’s manager walked over, his gaze lingering on the bodyguard and Lin Qingqian’s slightly cold expressions. In the end, he compromised.
“Come in.”
The door of the private room closed.
Lin Qingqian was wearing high heels today, and her originally slender figure looked even taller. She placed her handbag on the sofa and sat down impolitely.
Sheng Yan, who was sitting opposite her, had a gloomy gaze as he stared at her like a wolf, ready to pounce on her and bite her neck off at any moment.
“Mr. Sheng, if you have something to say to me, just say it. Don’t waste each other’s time.” Her red lips curled up slightly as she went straight to the point.
Sheng Yan loosened his clenched teeth and said with a hint of fear, “Name a price.”
“Huh?” Lin Qingqian tilted her head slightly, her plain features filled with confusion.
“Stop pretending!” Sheng Yan’s tense voice squeezed out word by word. “The person behind the acid attack on you is not my fan at all. You know that.”
Lin Qingqian’s slightly pursed lips relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. “Then you should also know that me letting Ren Guangxi up on stage was a forced choice.”
Sheng Yan’s eyes turned sinister. After a moment of silence, he said, “I can make a statement to clarify.”
The smile on Lin Qingqian’s lips deepened. “Sheng Yan, I thought that after being in the entertainment industry for so many years, you should understand the rules of this industry very well.”
Sheng Yan frowned. “What do you mean?”
“What I mean is—” She pursed her lips, her eyes cold as she asked word by word, “Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?”
Sheng Yan’s face turned pale immediately. His hands clenched into fists, and his eyes became even more ruthless.
“Why?” He suppressed his anger and said, “Why are you doing this to me!!”
Lin Qingqian’s expression was indifferent as she said in a gentle voice, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you this?”
Sheng Yan was stunned. Right on the heels of that, he heard her indifferent tone say slowly, “I’ve felt it since the first time we met. You’re… filled with hostility towards me.”
A trace of panic flashed across Jiang Yanshen’s ruthless eyes. He didn’t expect her to discover him despite hiding it so well.
“Can I ask why?” Lin Qingqian said indifferently. Actually, the answer was not that important to her. However, since she was here, she would ask.
Sheng Yan’s cheeks moved slightly, and his tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed. His cold voice couldn’t hide his resentment. “Who asked you to be a busybody and help style Lu Qinshang?”
“Huh?” Lin Qingqian’s clear pupils dilated slightly. What did this have to do with Lu Qinshang?
“You helped style Lu Qinshang and made him trend again and again!” Sheng Yan’s suppressed anger was finally completely released at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, “And me? You only threw me to a small designer! I lose every time! It’s always me!!”
He almost shouted the last sentence.
Lin Qingqian’s clear eyes moved slightly, and she understood after some thought.
Lu Qinshang’s initial style was handled by her. As a result, he was as popular as Luo Tianxue and was trending every time.
Sheng Yan’s style was handed over to Xiao Bai. To be honest, if Lu Qinshang was not present, Sheng Yan could indeed suppress everyone. However, once he was in the same scene as Lu Qinshang, his light would dim a lot…
She didn’t expect Lu Qinshang to be able to attract hatred for her.
“Do you know?” Lin Qingqian’s red lips curled up slightly. Her voice was light and pleasant as she said word by word, “Lu Qinshang’s style was also done by
Han Liubai.”
Sheng Yan was instantly stunned. Her light and confident voice sounded in his ears. “So, there must be another reason..”
