Although she had doubts, Autumn Wind did not dare to ask Qiu Hai for clarification. Did he really want to pursue her, or did he have other intentions?
For the next month, Yu would design an exquisite hairstyle for her each day, covering the patch of scalp that had been worn away.
At first, Yu would take a taxi from home early in the morning, but after a few days, she simply decided to stay at Autumn Wind's place.
After helping Autumn Wind with her grooming, she would drop Oke off at Qiu Hai's house and then return to accompany Autumn Wind to HK.
During the month that Yu was around, Jolie no longer appeared in front of Autumn Wind.
Qiu Hai arranged a table for Yu across from him, where she unleashed her strong gossip network and quickly got a clear understanding of the Public Relations Department. Some things were inconvenient to discuss at work, so at night after putting Oke to sleep, Yu would quietly enter Autumn Wind's room and share those unavoidable secrets about HK.
For instance, why there were so many female celebrities' names on the Employee Roster, how much money they received each month, Qiu Hai's relationships with each of them, as well as Qiu Hai's past romantic history and the current situation between Jolie and Liu Jian—all this information flowed continuously from Yu's lips.
"Have you noticed? This place seems like a Qing Shui Yamen! But in reality, you're the only one who is pure!" Yu said while doing Autumn Wind's nails.
"What do you mean? I don't understand!" Autumn Wind opened her palm to look at the crystal nails Yu had done for her. She actually didn't like having her nails decorated; accompanying Qiu Feng to get her nails done used to be one of her favorite things.
"Don't move. Hold still; don't mess it up... You really don't get it, do you? Haven't you noticed that the company actually needs these beautiful women to deal with clients, yet they've never had any direct contact with you?" Yu checked Autumn Wind's finished nails and blew on them gently to set them aside.
Autumn Wind indeed realized this issue and nodded repeatedly. "I feel like I'm just doing that all day with nothing else to do! Why is that?"
"Why? Someone has taken your work away; it's obvious! You silly!" Yu looked at Autumn Wind's head.
"Oh, who is it? They must be great!" Autumn Wind chuckled foolishly.
"Still laughing? You're just an empty shell, you know! I've been waking up early and working hard for you, only to find out that even if you lie at home sleeping, no one cares!" Fish vented his dissatisfaction.
"Is that true? I don't believe it. I'm clearly signing in at my desk!" Autumn Wind blinked at Fish, "Who took my power away?"
"Not really power, since you didn't have much to begin with. It's Qiu Hai. Whenever there's an event, he directly contacts those girls!" Fish stopped his busy work and quietly looked at Autumn Wind. "I'm now overturning his plan to pursue you; he's just trying to prevent you from getting too close to Liu Jian!"
"Damn it, I've been used by him!" After saying those words, Fish's tone suddenly changed. Qiu Hai knew that Fish would definitely speak up for Autumn Wind; only Liu Jian's appearance could change the situation. Right now, Fish being next to Autumn Wind was just a stone blocking their relationship from progressing further.
"Of course he won't pursue me!" The weight in Autumn Wind's heart lifted, but she felt a bit disappointed.
Autumn Wind glanced at the time; it was almost midnight. "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go to sleep; we have to work tomorrow!"
"What work? No one will even notice if you go or not! Listen to me, sleep in tomorrow!" Fish patted Autumn Wind on the shoulder. "Take care and don't mess up your guidance!"
Fish stood up and walked out of the room.
Is it really like what Fish said? Autumn Wind, with fingers like an octopus, first locked the door, dimmed the lights, and then walked to the window. Across from her, Qiu Hai's window was open, and the curtains were not drawn.
After what happened with Yao Yao last time, Autumn Wind didn't dare use binoculars. She peeked through a gap in the curtains, cautiously observing the scene across.
Peeping can become addictive; one always hopes to see something that stimulates their nerves. From Qiu Hai's body to the intimate moments with Yao Yao last time—what would it be this time?
Qiu Hai seemed to have heard Autumn Wind's voice and indeed appeared at the window with a woman in his arms. Squinting, she saw that the woman had short hair and a tall figure. The facial features were not very clear, but it was discernible that she was beautiful, somewhat resembling a girl from a popular group. Recently, there had been rumors that she had started dating a wealthy businessman.
Could it be that girl?
Autumn Wind remembered seeing her on the roster as well. If that's the case, if the fish is real, it wouldn't be surprising for Qiu Hai to casually take an employee home. After all, wanting to marry into a wealthy family is a common aspiration among women nowadays, especially among female artists.
Autumn Wind suddenly felt a pang of sadness and a bit of disappointment.
She withdrew her gaze, stretched out her arms, and walked to the bed, gently placing her hands together on her chest and falling into a deep sleep.
In her drowsy state, she noticed her phone light up. She swiped with her fingertip and saw a message from Huang Zihe: "Are you asleep? Ming Fei is in Taipei! Hope to see you!"
Her nails weren't very convenient for handling the phone, so Autumn Wind set it down casually and closed her eyes to continue sleeping.
The screen stayed lit for several seconds before gradually dimming.
When Huang Zihe sent that message, he was on a plane. The announcement instructed passengers to turn off their phones. Huang Zihe swiped his screen and saw that he hadn't received a reply from Autumn Wind. He pursed his lips and turned off his phone.
This time in Taipei, there would be nearly a month of activities for y(), several announcements, fan meetings, two commercials, and numerous fashion parties.
This undoubtedly provided Huang Zihe with ample time to get closer to Autumn Wind. He could almost see the pained expression on Autumn Wind's face. Would Li Gu feel heartbroken upon seeing it?
When Autumn Wind woke up again, it was already close to noon. Her first reaction was to check if her nails had been damaged.
After a night of being fixed in place, the designs on her nails had completely set. Autumn Wind reached out and tapped the low cabinet in front of her bed; nothing had come off.
She took out her phone, and without any notifications, it really didn't make a difference whether I went to work or not.
She got up and opened the door, and downstairs came the sound of everyone teasing Oke.
Hearing the sound of the door to Autumn Wind opening, everyone's displeased gaze turned towards Autumn Wind.
"Hey, big sister, you finally woke up! Oke, quickly call Aunt Qiu Feng a lazy pig!" Yu waved at Autumn Wind while holding Oke's hand.
Oke's speech was still unclear, mumbling: "Wandering around!" which made everyone burst into laughter.
Autumn Wind slowly walked down the stairs. Seeing her come down, Ahe, Ah Wei, and Uncle Liu, who were originally sitting on the sofa, were about to get up, but Autumn Wind waved her hand to signal them not to move.
In the kitchen, Sister Liu was busy preparing lunch. Autumn Wind walked in; all the pots in the kitchen had been replaced with new ones because Qiu Ruolan also endorsed pots, and there were plenty of reserves at home.
"Sister Liu, how long until it's ready? I'm hungry!" Autumn Wind asked softly while patting her flat stomach.
"It'll be ready soon!"
"Then I'll go wait at the dining table!" Autumn Wind sat down at the table while Yu lifted Oke onto a stool.
Oke waited with her big round eyes looking at Autumn Wind, her mouth opening and closing as if she were eating something. Autumn Wind reached out to touch Oke's face and couldn't help but think of Leo.
Leo had actually always been in contact with Autumn Wind, but ever since Qiu Mowen's incident, she no longer dared to look at the emails he sent. Every word in Leo's emails reminded her of Qiu Mowen.
Autumn Wind has a close boyfriend, Leo, and Autumn Wind also has a close girlfriend, Fish. Leo and Fish have a child together, but they are neither husband and wife nor lovers, not even friends.
What is happening in this world...
Autumn Wind shifted his gaze to Fish's face and gave a faint smile.
Seeing Autumn Wind smile at her, Fish looked up and noticed that Autumn Wind was holding a phone. "How come no one is calling you? I’m just here; it doesn’t matter whether you go to work or not..."
Autumn Wind smiled helplessly, thinking that perhaps his biggest role now is to be a tool to restrict Qiu Hai from Liu Jian.
In the office on the top floor of hk, Qiu Hai was staring blankly at the monitor. Autumn Wind had not appeared on camera all day. He called Autumn Wind's assistant and learned that Autumn Wind had not come to work.
He called home and found out that Fish had not taken Oke to the villa. Old Cheng went to Autumn Wind Villa to check and saw Fish and others playing with Oke in the living room, but there was no sign of Autumn Wind.
"Young Master, is Sister Qiu unwell?" Old Cheng still referred to Qiu Hai as he did when Qiu Xianglin was around. "Should we bring a gift to visit her?"
"Not for now!" After some thought, Qiu Hai replied.
After hanging up with Old Cheng, Qiu Hai stared at the monitor for a moment before dialing the phone in Liu Jian's office. After being transferred by the secretary, he heard Liu Jian's voice, "Chairman Qiu, what can I do for you?" Liu Jian's tone was very flat, making it hard to discern his emotions.
"Don't be so formal! I see on the schedule that the Public Relations Department has a stylish party tonight!" Qiu Hai pointed at the plan sent by his assistant.
"Yes... I have already arranged for people to go!" Liu Jian responded.
"Did you arrange for someone to go?" Qiu Hai retorted, "But Autumn Wind, you didn't come to the company today; you arranged it yourself..." The implication from Qiu Hai was that Autumn Wind, as the Public Relations Manager, should not have been bypassed in today's matters.
Liu Jian frowned slightly. In the past, Qiu Hai had never consulted Autumn Wind when making decisions for the Public Relations Department. Why was it different this time?
"Chairman, what do you mean? You don't have to disturb him for such matters, do you?"
Qiu Hai clearly sensed Liu Jian's displeasure and sneered lightly. "Jaes, you're misunderstanding me. I'm not blaming you. This fashion event is to promote Ming Company’s spokesperson; don’t you know that Sister Sally and Y will be attending?"
Liu Jian was taken aback. He hadn't really paid attention to the Special Guest for the evening. He knew that HK's spokesperson had always been Qiu Ruolan and that Y was the spokesperson for the new product, but tonight's Special Guest...
"Qiu Dong, are you implying that..."
"I’m not implying anything. If you think having Autumn Wind present would be awkward, you can choose not to invite her. But you'd better notify her in advance to prevent any further misunderstandings..." Qiu Hai emphasized the word "misunderstanding."
"Thank you..." Liu Jian didn't expect Qiu Hai to be so considerate.
Putting down his work, he picked up his phone and hesitated for a moment before dialing Autumn Wind's number.
