The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 238

[Actually, it's a short composition: "Setting Myself Free, Let Me Finish First (´-ω-`)"]

Shen Kai rubbed his temples and pointed to the door.

"Please leave, it's not the time for visitors."

Liu Simin opened the door and saw a new employee from the recently acquired company. Shen Kai frowned and impatiently said,

"I know you're here on behalf of the entire company to visit President Shen, but he is unwell and needs rest. Thank you for your concern, but please leave."

Hmm? What's this all about?

Qin Wei nodded and stuffed all the gifts into Liu Simin's arms, then turned and ran.

Why is she so happy after being turned away at the door??

"This girl must be sick..."

Liu Simin muttered as she walked in, casually placing the gifts on the coffee table.

Shen Kai casually asked, "Who was it?"

"The representative sent by the newly acquired company to visit you."

Liu Simin said, "I don't know what Director Wei of the company was thinking, sending someone to see you. And it had to be the one who caused you to be hospitalized. You may not mind, but it doesn't mean she was not at fault..."

"You mean... Qin Wei came to see me?"

Shen Kai put down the contract in his hand and finally looked up.

Liu Simin looked somewhat confused.

"The one with the black-framed glasses, hoodies, and no makeup every day..."

Liu Simin nodded, confirming that the person she saw at the door fit that description.

Shen Kai didn't even have time to put on his shoes before rushing out of the ward.

Looking left and right, the person he wanted to see was nowhere to be found.

Disappointed, he returned to the ward and saw the startled expression on Liu Simin's face.

"The President is very particular about cleanliness, he must wear new shoes every day, but today he went barefoot on the floor..."

This is really strange...

Shen Kai pursed his lips and walked to the coffee table, picking up the can of canned peaches.

"Is this from her?"

Liu Simin nodded.

Shen Kai looked puzzled.

"What is this?"

[Qin Wei: Oh, does the President not know how to read?]

"Canned peaches."

Liu Simin explained, "It's the most humble gift that ordinary people bring when visiting a patient."

Shen Kai glanced at the supermarket receipt inside the plastic bag —

[Canned peaches, original price 10 yuan, promotional price 5.5 yuan, exclusive price for members 4.5 yuan]

"How do I eat this? Prepare it for me, I'll have it for lunch today."

[Qin Wei: Help! Did he grow up on dew drops?]

[Shen Qingqing: That's my brother being noble. He has never had cheap things. You're not allowed to badmouth him!]

...

"Was that her?"

Qiao Sixiao was about to leave when she saw Qin Wei hurrying over, holding something in her hands. She was heading in the direction of Shen Kai's ward, but ended up being turned away and left in a hurry.

"Hey."

Qiao Sixiao called out to Qin Wei who was about to leave.

Qin Wei: "?"

Qiao Sixiao coughed twice and cleared her throat.

"Shall we go eat some small wontons together?"

[Qin Wei: ?]

...

"I want to confess my feelings to her."

On the day of his discharge, Shen Kai said to Liu Simin,

"Tell me, would it be tacky to propose with a Tiffany ten-carat diamond ring? Should I rent the entire Seaworld Tower, order 9,999 roses, and set off fireworks in the sky all night?"

Liu Simin nodded,

"That's what you should do. Miss Qiao is worthy of your efforts, President."

Shen Kai frowned, and his eyes showed a hint of gloom.

"I'm talking about Qin Wei," said Liu Simin.

Liu Simin: "?"

【Qin Wei: ?】

When it came to the person he liked, President Shen couldn't help but curl his lips.

"Don't you think it's my luck to meet such an interesting person?" Liu Simin didn't think so.

【Qin Wei: Give Liu Simin some support! Stick to your own thoughts!】

But it had been a long time since she had seen the president smile.

Liu Simin nodded. If Qin Wei's presence could make the president happy, she would definitely protect his smile!

【Qin Wei: Protect my ass!】

【Shen Qingqing: Qin Wei, please be polite, okay?】

Shen Kai patted Liu Simin's shoulder.

"Go investigate her preferences. I want to give her the most perfect confession in the entire capital!"

...

After a day of work (slacking off), Qin Wei took the subway home and collapsed exhaustedly on the sofa. She was contemplating whether to play a game of "Glory" or "Survival" when her phone rang.

"Qin Wei, can you come to my house? I have something for you to do."

It was an unfamiliar number, but she recognized Qiao Sixiao's voice.

It wasn't surprising that she had Qin Wei's phone number. Rumor had it that she had also invested in the company yesterday and was now a shareholder.

Qin Wei promptly refused.

"I'm not going. It's already after work hours. Have you turned into an exploitative capitalist? Am I your personal worker?"

The other party didn't give up.

"The water pipe in my house is broken. I know you can fix it. Come and help me."

"Huh? Doesn't your residential complex have a management office?"

Qin Wei retorted.

"They do, but the water pipe workers have all gone back to their hometowns to prepare for the Lunar New Year. There's no one available to fix it now."

"But it's only July! And are water pipe workers hereditary!! If their whole family left, is there no one to take their place?"

There was a reply on the other end of the phone.

"Yeah."

Qin Wei continued to refuse.

"I'm not going. I studied computer engineering. I can tolerate you asking me to fix computers or something, but asking me to fix water pipes?"

"There's a power outage as well!"

Qiao Sixiao said with a tearful voice.

"If you come and fix the water pipes, I'll give you 10,000 yuan. And if you fix the electrical circuit, I'll give you another 10,000 yuan!"

"Holy shit! 10,000 yuan!"

Qiao Sixiao said casually, "Not enough? Then I'll double it."

Qin Wei swallowed hard.

"Well... It's not that I can't... It's just too late, and there's no subway..."

Qiao Sixiao didn't hesitate and replied, "That's fine. My butler is downstairs at your place right now. He'll drive you here."

【Qin Wei: Is this reasonable???】

...

Luxurious mansion, a grand villa.

Qiao Sixiao wasn't exaggerating. There were about a hundred square meters of doghouses in her yard.

Qin Wei looked at the dog, and the dog looked back at her, sensing her envy.

"Woof woof woof woof woof woof! (This is my old-fashioned car)"

"Why are you standing there? Come in!"

Qiao Sixiao walked into the yard and saw a person and a dog exchanging insults.

【Qin Wei: Is this reasonable?】

Only then did Qin Wei snap out of her daze and followed Qiao Sixiao into the grand villa.

It took ten minutes to walk from the living room to the bedroom.

【Qiao Sixiao: Do I live in the convention center?】

"What's wrong with the water pipe?"

Qin Wei asked her.

She pointed to the small bathroom in the bedroom.

Qin Wei rolled up her sleeves and walked in.

She wasn't lying; there was a broken water pipe that had been leaking continuously, causing the water to rise up to her ankles and even flow into the bedroom.

"Qiao Sixiao, you're quite the powerhouse..." Qin Wei sighed.

Qiao Sixiao glanced around and said, "I don't know why it keeps leaking."

"You unscrewed a section of it, of course it's going to leak," Qin Wei replied.

"Huh? It wasn't me! I didn't do it. What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Qiao Sixiao protested.

Qin Wei picked up the wrench and the half piece of the water pipe from the ground and said, "Before pretending to be innocent, at least hide the tools, okay?"

【Youyou: Wow, Sister Qin is like a detective! She notices even these small details!】

Qiao Sixiao winked at her and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Oh no! You actually found out!"

【Qiao Sixiao: !!!!!】

【Qiao Sixiao: "/@#~!%&***(/x】】

【Qin Wei: What is this... Who can imagine such a scene? I'd rather be the one winking and sticking out my tongue...】
