First of all, He Jian’s coming to Quanlin was to find Qi Yueran and in addition to this, he really wanted to create a career. He Family was rich and powerful and He Jian was also treated with connivance without limit, that after his rebirth, he always felt a little guilty conscience. If he could create a career by himself, Third-shao He Jian’s reputation could be redeemed, which he reckoned that Elder He would be more or less happy.
He Jian was familiar with Quanlin City and the development trend of Quanlin in the next 15 years. During those years, he perhaps didn’t notice the value of the wasteland in the north of the city and missed the great opportunity. But now, he was going to start all over again and naturally going to seize it properly.
Qi Yueran took He Jian to the north of the city. As a matter of fact, Qi Yueran really didn’t have He Jian’s driving in a light carriage on a familiar road[1]. Not long after graduation, with his experiences were not enrich enough, he had to spent most of his time in the office. Besides, he was busy with social activities and had few opportunities to do field works. In the northern part of the city, Qi Yueran had only visited once.
The northern suburb of Quanlin City was very remote. The area was very large that it’s very difficult to find a restaurant at noon. Qi Yueran had only come once and it was past 12 o’clock when he saw the time before he remembered that there was no place to deal with lunch.
“Let’s find a place to eat first, so I can invite Mister He to lunch,” Qi Yueran said: “This area is a bit off [from main population]. I don’t think there’s any particular restaurant. Hope Mister He can bear with me.”
He Jian nodded and said: “I’ll drive, you show me the way.”
After all, it’s the memory of 15 years ago; He Jian didn’t quite remember where there was a restaurant, so he asked Qi Yueran to give directions. This contrarily confounded Qi Yueran. He always had an assistant to take care of everything well when he went out. He only vaguely remembered the general way. He forced himself to show the way and they went back and forth for several rounds.
Qi Yueran caught sight of the simple traffic lights in front of him and his face felt so heavy it couldn’t be hung[2]. He’s too young[3] to say anything and smiled sheepishly as he looked embarrassed.
He Jian also couldn’t help laughing as they had passed this intersection for the third time that he was already familiar with, he said: “Are you hungry or not? Anyway, we’re going back soon. If you are not too hungry, how about I invite you to have meal when we’re back?”
The duo went back at two o’clock in the afternoon. It was already four o’clock when they arrived in the city, so they found a restaurant to mend their lunch. After the late lunch, He Jian wanted to send Qi Yueran home, Qi Yueran initially didn’t want to bother him anymore, but He Jian insisted on sending him off. In the end, he sent the other to the gate of Qi Villa.
Qi Yueran opened the door and went out, but hesitated for a moment before he said, “If He Third-shao is not rushing to go back, how about going upstairs and sit for a while?”
He Jian took a look at him. Since it was proposed by Qi Yueran, he would not refuse, so he nodded.
The servants of the Qi Family were all insightful. Seeing that He Third-shao had come again, they hurriedly informed Master Qi. Old Qi was in his study when the servant informed him before he came down from the second floor, he said: “He Third-shao is here. I heard that you went to the north of the city to have a look today. What did you think? Is it suitable to base construction?”
He Jian was invited to sit on the sofa in the living room and said with a smile: “After a round of looking, although the place is a little bit off [from main population], but it’s good not being crowded and peaceful. It doesn’t need much convenient traffic to be an industrial base. A little mountain and a little water source are just right.”
Master Qi nodded and said politely, “It seems that this land is waiting for He Third-shao to develop it. You see, we have lived here for decades, but we have yet think of building an industrial base. It will be futile if someone else builds this base without any connections, better it be He Third-shao’s capability.”
It was easy to build a film and television base, but how to run it after it’s built was a big deal. It would futile of having a piece of land that without connections, no one came to use the base to film.
He Jian understood what he meant, he said: “Don’t worry, Old Qi. I’m not trying to make a temporary rise. The construction of the base is just the beginning. Although I have no ability, my elder sister and second brother have some connections in the entertainment circle.”
“He Third-shao certainly understood my meaning,” said Master Qi with a laugh. “We can see Third-shao’s ability. Those rumors can only be heard. And whoever believes in them is a blindly cheated fool. This cooperation will be successful. In the future, Quanlin’s development depends on the land in the north of the city.”
Master Qi buckled up a tall hat[4] on He Jian, who just smiled symbolically. Master Qi added, “It’s time for dinner soon, I’d like Third-shao do me the favor of staying for dinner.”
He Jian had wanted to refuse as it was not a comfortable thing to have a cheeky exchange with ‘father’, but it seemed that Qi Yueran was in a good mood today, at least much better than when they first met. Today, when they went out for a site visit, Qi Yueran seemed to have a slightly different impression on him. He Jian wanted to strike while the iron was hot, so he didn’t refuse.
Qi Yueran stayed for a while before he went upstairs, saying he was going to call Qi Yuexin to come down, waiting for dinner soon.
When He Jian heard that Qi Yuexin was mentioned, he suddenly thought of something and said: “By the way, I saw Xiao Ran’s brother’s leg was inconvenient last time. I happened to know a doctor in this field. Would you like me to arrange the doctor to see him? Leg is a big deal, we can’t be careless.”
Master Qi immediately expressed surprise and joy, and then said: “Truly troubling Third-shao, even making you help think about this matter. I’d found doctors to treat Xiao Xin before, but even rehabilitation didn’t work. Of course, all the people He Third-shao knows must be great people, definitely more efficacious.”
Master Qi’s surprise was not a fake. He Jian had only been to Qi Villa once and met Qi Yueran more but only once did he met Qi Yuexin. If it was other people, it would mostly be a hypocritical concern, who would really go to great trouble to find a doctor?
""
He Jian had asked Han Gaoping to contact several famous doctors. The He Family had a well-developed network of contacts; it was but a matter of setting the time. He took out his cell phone and copied the phone number for Master Qi. He said, “I don’t know when it’s better to arrange the time. I give you the number directly. Anyway, we’ve already come to an agreement; just make a phone call to make an appointment.”
As soon as Master Qi saw it, he immediately gave a thousand thanks. He began to murmur in his heart: could it be mean that He Jian didn’t actually fall for Qi Yueran, but rather fancy Qi Yuexin.
At the dinner table, Master Qi specifically mentioned this matter and asked Qi Yuexin to thank He Jian. Not only was Qi Yuexin pleasantly surprised, but even Qi Yueran looked at He Jian a few more times. His big brother’s leg was his lifetime of guilt. If it could be cured, he should be the happiest.
After dinner, He Jian was sent off by Qi Yueran. Originally, Master Qi intended Qi Yuexin to send him off, but his leg was inconvenient, so He Jian refused.
Qi Yueran sent He Jian to the parking area and said, “I haven’t thanked Mister He for helping my ge find a doctor.”
He Jian’s hand paused when he opened the door. Hearing Qi Yueran thanked him, he had a very mystical feeling. It was even more complicated to hear that Qi Yueran thanked him in place of Qi Yuexin.
He shook his head and could only say: “It’s just a very slight effort.”
If could, He Jian really wanted to find a way to let Qi Yueran stop liking his big brother. In his last life, this feeling was a mistake. He received as much sorrow as he paid for it. Even without the appearance of Wu Kai, he was not sure that this feeling would bear fruit. Even if the same sex could get married, they were brothers after all.
Qi Yueran saw He Jian’s expression was a little strange, he didn’t know if he had said anything wrong and could only turn the topic aside and said: “About our cooperation, I will solve the dispute with Wu Family first. I’ll call you in two days.”
“I’ll be waiting for your call.” He Jian nodded.
He Third-shao had been around for a week. Not only the people in the business circle fixated on him, but also the paparazzi in some gossip tabloids. After He Jian and Qi Yueran’s ‘date in the suburbs’, the tabloid exposed the incident within two days. However, the paparazzi were afraid of He Family and did not dare to provoke too much. They mentioned it in a very obscure way, merely said He Third-shao had found a good cooperative partner as soon he arrived in Quanlin the first time.
In fact, He Jian got the photos before the tabloid published the news, but it didn’t matter much. Anyway, the article wasn’t written with anything radical. He came to Quanlin was only to protect Qi Yueran and help Qi Yueran. In this way, everyone knew that He Jian and Qi Yueran had cooperated and that with the He Family as backer, there would be less annoying people asking for trouble.
But this way on another hand, there were still a lot of troubles. As soon as the report came out, He Family called He Jian on his cell phone.
When He Jian first came to Quanlin, the reason he told Master He was to learn through experience outside, but just a week later, he had a ‘scandal’. Master He was angry when he saw it.
He Jian listened to He Ying said such and he laughed by anger. He said: “Elder sister, you also don’t believe me. It’s not a scandal; this is surely an injustice towards me.”
He Ying also laughed and said: “Can’t blame Dad for thinking too much. Before, you were not this ambitious to prove yourself and suddenly ran thousands of miles away for the sake of career, I also didn’t believe. There were this article and also intimate photos of you and that Qi Yueran, strong evidences.”
He Jian truly had nothing to say. He Ying over there said: “Dad asked people to inquire after the article. He also heard that you sent a doctor to treat the eldest son of the Qi Family. Dad was even angrier that he said that you were fooling around and that one was enough, you even wanted to ruin other family’s two sons. But mom was happy when she heard this that she said that you can bring the person back and don’t go far away to suffer hardships. You tell me the truth, why did you run so far?”
He Jian was stumped by her question. He really wanted to start a career, but he chose to go back to Quanlin to get to Qi Yueran’s side. If he had told the truth like this, the misunderstanding would have been even greater.
He Ying said: “I really think Dad’s right. Dad being angry over here might be because not only the Qi Family is too inferior to show in public, but isn’t that Qi Yueran is already engaged to a surname Wu? Dad is most concern about the established standard. You can’t act willfully and make a scene like that.”
