"I? My opinion?" Upon hearing Qiu Ruolan directly ask for her thoughts, Liu Jiajia's face immediately lit up with excitement. She hurriedly pulled out a notebook from her bag behind her. "Sister Sally, then I... I will speak boldly..."
Liu Jiajia's demeanor reminded Qiu Ruolan of Liu Qingyuan. Like father, like daughter; always so direct. Thinking this, she crossed her arms and said, "But that's fine!"
"I officially became your manager last week, and so far I've secured five jobs for you: one Charity Event, two advertisements..."
Qiu Ruolan slightly raised her chin, signaling Liu Jiajia to continue.
"In addition, there are two hosting gigs and one movie. The movie is directed by a very experienced director from the mainland, with a considerable salary, and there's plenty of time since filming won't start until the second half of the year!"
With that, Liu Jiajia flipped to the next page of her notebook and continued, "The hosting gigs include a Singing Competition show and a fashion information program! The Singing Competition is next month, and the fashion program is also next month..."
Qiu Ruolan pondered for a moment, placing her left hand on her forehead with a troubled expression. "Don't you think these jobs you've secured contradict what you just said about... me needing to maintain an air of mystery?"
Qiu Ruolan paused slightly and added, "The Singing Competition show is naturally focused on ratings. If the ratings are high, how can we talk about mystery? If they are low, wouldn't that be a failure in my life? And as for this fashion information program... if you had carefully studied the materials Arei provided you, you would know that I have never been interested in such informational programs!"
Liu Jiajia's face flushed red all at once. She lowered her head, losing the confidence she had just moments ago. "Then Sister Sally... I'll decline the hosting opportunities right away!"
"Decline? What do you mean by decline?"
"But you... you aren't..."
"I'm just arguing against your statement... um... I'll take both hosting gigs!" Qiu Ruolan said seriously. The reason she made this decision was that at that moment, a voice suddenly surged within her: let me forget everything in the busyness!
Upon hearing Qiu Ruolan's answer, Liu Jiajia felt it was hard to believe. Her eyes widened again. "But..."
Qiu Ruolan laughed and said, "But then we can't maintain an air of mystery, right? Don't worry; the singing program is just temporary, and the timing won't conflict. As for that fashion program... isn't the Producer your dad? I can't possibly go against his wishes!"
After saying this, Qiu Ruolan paused slightly and turned her face toward Liu Jiajia. "Your dad supports you so much; I can't let him feel like I'm making things difficult for his precious daughter!"
Liu Jiajia's wide eyes slowly returned to normal. Suddenly, she bowed to Qiu Ruolan. "Thank you, Sister Sally, I will definitely work hard!"
Qiu Ruolan squinted her eyes into a line and said, "But I have one condition!!"
"Condition? What condition?" Liu Jiajia became tense again.
Liu Jiajia's nervousness was clearly written on her face; her chubby cheeks turned red. Seeing her like this, Qiu Ruolan couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't be so nervous, the condition is simple... I want to choose my co-host!"
"You choose?" Liu Jiajia was a bit confused.
"Yes, I choose. Go ask the Producer. If this condition is agreed upon, I'll take the job... The money part is negotiable!"
"Okay!" Liu Jiajia couldn't understand Qiu Ruolan's request but had no choice but to agree. She slightly leaned forward and quickly flipped through her notebook, then discovered another matter related to Qiu Ruolan. "Um... Sister Sally, there's one more thing. A Magazine reporter called this morning asking about... I didn't know how to respond!"
"Magazine reporter?" Those four words struck Qiu Ruolan's nervous system like a whip, instantly pulling her out of her lazy and somewhat irritable mood. She instinctively thought of Autumn Wind; could it be that the reporter had discovered something...
However, her well-honed acting skills remained impeccable. She stayed silent and gestured for Liu Jiajia to continue.
Liu Jiajia cleared her throat and said, "It's about you and Linda. The Magazine reporter saw your brother and Linda together at your Dazhi's house, purchasing furniture... So they wanted to ask about you and Linda..."
"Me and Linda?" Qiu Ruolan retorted. She placed her hand on her forehead, pondering for a moment. Just as she was about to speak, the phone on the table began to buzz loudly. Her heart suddenly tightened as she nervously picked up the phone.
The call was from Qiu Mowen. Qiu Ruolan looked carefully at the flashing name; the ringtone grew louder until, amidst Liu Jiajia's puzzled expression, Qiu Ruolan answered the call. She quickly adjusted the phone's volume and said in a very unfriendly tone, "Hello... What do you want?"
On the other end of the line, Qiu Mowen naturally knew that Qiu Ruolan was still angry with him. He didn't speak immediately; after a brief silence of a few seconds, he gently said, "My dearest sister, don't be mad. If you're still angry, you won't get to see me..."
"What do you mean by that? Are you going to commit suicide??" Qiu Ruolan said viciously, completely ignoring Liu Jiajia's shocked expression.
"Pretty much... I'm planning... I'm planning to go back to work in Beijing?" Qiu Mowen stammered.
"Go to Beijing? Is that all...? Great! I finally won't have to see you in Taipei!" Qiu Ruolan continued to sulk. "Is there anything else? If not, I have things to deal with here, so let's leave it at that!"
Qiu Mowen suddenly became anxious and spoke faster, "Don't be like this! Can't you show a little care for your dear brother?"
"What care?" On the other end of the phone, Qiu Ruolan raised an eyebrow. She glanced sideways at Liu Jiajia, who had a questioning look on her face, and secretly sneered. Then she said, "Alright, I wish my dear brother Qiu Mowen could find true love in Beijing!"
After saying this, Qiu Ruolan caught a glimpse of Liu Jiajia and noticed that Liu Jiajia relaxed immediately upon realizing that the call was from Qiu Mowen, clearly relieved that it wasn't Linda.
Qiu Ruolan continued into the phone, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I have urgent matters to attend to!"
"Then... since you don't want anything, I'll take a moment!" Qiu Mowen replied. After saying this, he obviously took a deep breath. "It's just..." His tone became serious, "It's about giving Autumn Wind some appropriate space, which is actually giving you some appropriate space as well..."
"Alright, I understand..." Without waiting for Qiu Mowen to finish, Qiu Ruolan interrupted him and immediately hung up the phone. She simply didn't have the courage to discuss topics related to Autumn Wind while being intensely watched by Liu Jiajia.
...
Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Qiu Mowen held the phone and fell into deep thought. In fact, he hadn't called Qiu Ruolan to talk about Autumn Wind. He originally wanted to tell her that he had just run into Linda, who had just finished watching a movie, with a young and beautiful girl dressed provocatively in his arms.
However, when the words were on his lips, he lacked the courage to reveal the truth. He silently prayed that Qiu Ruolan was not yet at a point of being unable to extricate herself from Linda.
On Qiu Ruolan's side, after hanging up on Qiu Mowen, she slightly collected her thoughts and then responded to the question about Linda that Liu Jiajia had mentioned. She asked back, "When you handed over things to Arei, didn't she mention this matter to you?"
Liu Jiajia lowered her head and remained silent, so she continued, "Well, this matter has always been handled by Arei, so I'm not very clear on the specifics... How about this: you help me keep things under wraps for now. Once you finalize things with the Singing Competition production team, see if there's any need to stir up some news!"
When Qiu Ruolan learned that the reporters were not inquiring about Autumn Wind, she immediately felt relieved. It was an inexplicable feeling; shouldn't she be more cautious about her romantic feelings? Why was she acting this way?
Regarding her own response, Qiu Ruolan felt somewhat bewildered. In her past relationships, she had never mentioned her partner so carelessly as she did now. Was it possible that Linda was merely a substitute, a means for her to channel emotions she had nowhere else to express?
She couldn't believe it; the status of Autumn Wind in her heart was still slowly rising and had long become irreplaceable.
Thinking of this, a wave of panic surged within her. She widened her eyes and stared at her exquisitely sculpted face in the mirror.
Liu Jiajia's words interrupted Qiu Ruolan's contemplation. She bowed slightly to Qiu Ruolan again and humbly said, "I understand... I will study the materials left by Sister Alei carefully and won't trouble you anymore!"
Qiu Ruolan smiled again. She raised her head to look at Liu Jiajia seriously and said, "Silly girl! Don't say that, let's work hard together!"
Hearing this from Qiu Ruolan, Liu Jiajia felt even more touched, tears immediately welling up in her eyes. "Thank you, Sister Sally, I will do my best... If there's nothing else, I'll go out and call the production team to discuss the schedule!"
Qiu Ruolan nodded slightly, "Okay!"
Liu Jiajia bowed again, "Thank you, Sister Sally!" After that, she turned to walk towards the door. Just as she was about to pull the door open, Qiu Ruolan called out to her again.
"Wait a moment!" Qiu Ruolan said.
Liu Jiajia turned around with a puzzled expression, looking at Qiu Ruolan with questioning eyes. "What is it...?"
"Oh, it's nothing... I just wanted to know... back then, when your family was photographed by reporters, did you... did it have any impact on you?" After taking a deep breath, Qiu Ruolan hesitantly voiced the question that had been circling in her mind.
"Well..." Liu Jiajia pouted adorably like a typical girl. "It seems like it didn't have much of an impact... We're still a family... Besides, everything was supported by Dad! My dad wouldn't let us get hurt!" After thinking for a moment, Liu Jiajia raised her head proudly.
A family? Qiu Ruolan murmured in her heart. That's right, no matter what happens, she wouldn't let Autumn Wind get hurt!
