Chapter 154 I don't remember
When Jiang Lai woke up the next day, she found herself sleeping in the same bed as Qin Yifan.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, she was sleeping with a girl; if it had been a boy, things would have been much worse.
Jiang Lai's lips twitched, and she slapped her forehead, but she couldn't remember anything about what had happened yesterday.
She nudged Qin Yifan, who was sleeping soundly beside her, trying to wake her up: "Miss, wake up, wake up."
Qin Yifan struggled to respond, "Jiang Jiang, don't make a sound, let me sleep a little longer. You sleep too!"
Jiang Lai continued to push her: "How can I sleep if I don't even know where I am? At least tell me where this is!"
"My brother's house," Qin Yifan mumbled, then turned over and fell asleep again, and couldn't be woken up this time.
Jiang Lai looked at herself. She hadn't changed her clothes and was all disheveled. She could still smell a faint scent of alcohol. Had she drunk that much yesterday? Sure enough, this body really couldn't handle any alcohol.
Next time I go out with people I don't know well, I absolutely must not drink any alcohol.
Speaking of which, Qin Yifan said this was whose house again? Her brother's house...
Qin Yijian?
Jiang Lai sat up in bed as if she had been sprung up, and then found her phone.
"8:18..."
Thank goodness, it's not time to go to work yet. Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to get up. She needed to go back to her dormitory first to get ready, otherwise she definitely wouldn't be able to record the show today.
Come to think of it, I must have had some hangover soup or medicine when I got drunk yesterday? I don't feel anything at all when I wake up today.
I can't remember what happened last night...
Jiang Lai shook her head. Since Qin Yifan hadn't said anything and had gone back to sleep without worry, it proved that nothing had happened last night.
That's good.
Jiang Lai put on her shoes and walked out of the room, only to realize that she and Qin Yifan had slept in the guest room on the first floor. The living room was visible as soon as she stepped out. The house was decorated in black, white and gray, and it was clear that it belonged to a single man. The style was minimalist, but it did not detract from its comfort and elegance.
Several elegant paintings hang on the smooth white walls, complementing the light gray carpet. A potted plant sits quietly in the corner, adding a touch of life to the space. Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, making everything appear brighter and warmer.
Jiang Lai looked out through the French windows and saw that the courtyard was empty.
Where is Qin Yijian? Jiang Lai thought to herself as she walked to the center of the living room, where she saw a note on the table.
"Auntie made breakfast and left it in the kitchen." "Qin Yifan, remember to come home today." "Jiang Lai, come to work when you're ready."
The signature is Qin Yijian.
Have they already left?
Jiang Lai opened her phone to check how far her current location was from the company. After seeing the information on the map, her face immediately fell. If she had to go back to the dormitory, she would definitely be late.
She quickly went to the bathroom to wash her face, then packed her things and strode out of the house.
This area is also a residential area, so it might not be easy to get a taxi. Jiang Lai called a ride-hailing service and stood at the entrance of the community waiting for the car. She just wanted to slap herself twice for what she did yesterday. Drinking leads to trouble, remember that!
-
At seven o'clock in the morning, Qin Yijian got up, washed up, and ate breakfast as usual. He was always dedicated to his work, even though he hadn't slept well the night before, as those bizarre dreams had haunted him all night.
But he still maintained an elegant demeanor when he went to work.
"Aunt Liu, make two more breakfasts and leave them there. Then come back to clean up at noon."
"Okay." Aunt Liu asked, "Two portions, can Fanfan finish them?"
"No, she has a friend."
"Male or female?" Aunt Liu had been a nanny for the Qin family for over twenty years and was practically no different from the Qin family members, so she asked this question without any hesitation.
Qin Yijian: "A woman."
Aunt Liu's eyes lit up.
Qin Yijian immediately stopped her: "They were allowed to stay here yesterday because of an unexpected situation. There's no need to tell my mother."
"Understand!"
Looking at Aunt Liu's gossipy face, Qin Yijian felt his headache return. He thought, "Forget it, I can't explain it. Let her think what she wants!" He'd better go to work.
......
9:15.
Han Caiwei looked at the empty workstation opposite her and asked, "Is Jiang Lai alright? Why hasn't she come to work yet?"
—Oh right, where's Jiang Lai? Where's my wife?
—Upstairs, you really dare to say that!
—Are you late?
—Isn't that incredibly irresponsible?
Xie Zhihui said with some concern, "There are quite a few tasks today, and we need to report directly to President Qin. I hope Jiang Lai isn't late."
"Um, I have a bag here. I'll put it on her seat and we'll just say she went to the restroom?" Shao Yang handed over a laptop bag.
Du Heng said, "This can't be hidden for long. Why don't you two give her another call?"
Han Caiwei: "Then I'll call again—"
"What are you all standing there for?" Qin Yijian walked up to the interns' desks without anyone noticing.
—Help! I got caught by my boss!
—Everyone tried so hard to help her cover it up, but it still all fell apart?
—Hilarious! That's terrible. Unless Jiang Lai shows up right away with a pack of tissues and says she went to the bathroom, she's definitely going to be caught being late.
—Upstairs, you really know the ways of the workplace.
Shao Yang immediately replied, "We were discussing today's mission... Ah, Jiang Lai went to the restroom, she seems to be feeling unwell..."
—Shaoyang, you little rascal, don't be too naive. You're lying to my face.
—Who wouldn't ship them? They're such a perfect match! They seem so happy when they're together.
—You guys are kind of crazy to be shipping a workplace reality show with a romance theme.
Qin Yijian raised her hand to interrupt Shao Yang and said, "I know she hasn't arrived yet."
—Oh my!
—Jiang Laiwei
—Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!
“She has already asked me for leave, saying she will be a little late.” Qin Yijian glanced at the four of them and assigned today’s task: “Submit a financing plan based on the materials sent to your emails later.”
“Okay, Mr. Qin.” “No problem.” All four responded.
Qin Yijian left the office, and everyone finally relaxed.
"I don't know why, but I always feel that President Qin is so imposing, and I'm afraid to be around him," Xie Zhihui said softly, while keeping an eye on the door, afraid that Qin Yijian might suddenly turn around and come back.
Shao Yang squawked like a rooster: "Aaaaaah! Caught lying on the spot!! Jiang Lai, how are you going to pay me back for what you owe me!!!"
Du Heng patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "Just accept it, brother."
Han Caiwei chuckled and said, "Then how about Jiang Lai treats you to dinner? Otherwise, you'll just be exposed for no reason."
"Yes! And I want to eat a Manchu Han Imperial Feast!"
—I'm dying of laughter, Shaoyang is such a funny person.

......
When Jiang Lai arrived at the company, before she even sat down, Shao Yang came up to her with a tearful expression, "Jiang Lai, you have to treat me to dinner!"
"Huh?" Jiang Lai asked sincerely, "Why?"
Shao Yang said with great remorse, "For you, I didn't hesitate to deceive our superior!"
After everyone chimed in with their own explanations, Jiang Lai finally understood what had happened. She chuckled and said, "Alright, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."
"Yay!" Shao Yang was happy again.
Han Caiwei asked, "Where did you go with your girlfriends yesterday? Why are you late today?"
"Girl?" "Yeah, she called me late last night to say you weren't coming back to the dorm."
Jiang Lai guessed it was Qin Yifan who called, and laughed, "Yes, I went out for dinner and drinks with a girlfriend, and I drank too much and was late."
"Are you alright? Does your head hurt?" Xie Zhihui asked.
"Okay."
"That's good. By the way, check your email. Today's task materials have been sent to your inbox."
"Thanks!" Jiang Lai opened her email and got back to work.
-
In the afternoon, Qin Yijian called the interns to her office one by one.
When Jiang Lai went in, Qin Yijian was still typing away on the keyboard.
“I have read the part of this financing plan that you submitted.” He said, “Overall, you have grasped the psychology of investors very well, and your market analysis is also quite good. However, you wrote very little about the risk control part, and it is not detailed enough. Go back and expand this part so that investors can feel at ease.”
"Understood." Jiang Lai took notes and then waited for Qin Yijian to ask the other questions.
"What's wrong?" Qin Yijian asked when she saw her looking at her.
"President Qin, do you have anything else to say?"
"No." Qin Yijian paused, then asked, "When you got up, was Yifan up too?"
"Not yet, she's still sleeping." Jiang Lai thought he was concerned about his sister, so she added, "But she should be fine, she's just not fully awake... Speaking of which, what did she do last night?"
Qin Yijian thought of last night, paused for a moment, and asked, "You don't even know what you did last night?"
Jiang Lai thought she and Qin Yifan had really done something earth-shattering and heinous, so she quickly shook her head, shaking it more vigorously than a rattle-drum, and said sincerely, "I really don't remember! But! All the mistakes are ours."
Jiang Lai quickly admitted her mistake and showed a good attitude.
Qin Yijian carefully observed her expression and asked, "You don't remember anything at all?"
"I swear to God!" Jiang Lai held up four fingers. "I really don't remember, not at all. Is it important? If it is, I'll try to remember."
Then she saw Qin Yijian looking at her with an indescribable expression, seemingly conflicted. Jiang Lai didn't know what was wrong with him, so she stood there quietly without saying a word.
Qin Yijian didn't know what she was thinking, but now it seemed that not being able to remember was the best thing.
He subconsciously ignored the strange feeling in his heart, and as if relieved, said, "No need for that, it's no big deal, you can go out!"
"Oh—" Jiang Lai walked out of the office with a belly full of doubts.
—I've noticed that Jiang Lai always takes a little longer to get into the office than everyone else. Is she doing a good job or not?
—Won't you find out when the meeting starts? Didn't she do a good job last time?
—It's a pity that President Qin had so few scenes, otherwise I really wanted to edit the two of them together.
—Does the lady upstairs produce any content? I really ship office romances.
—The editing of BV's Shaoyang and Du Heng is pretty good.
—Thank you, I only ship heterosexual couples.
—Don't be picky about food upstairs!
......
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Zhou Zhu called everyone to the conference room.
Besides Qin Yijian, there were several other people in the conference room, who also looked like senior company executives.
Once all five people were seated, Qin Yijian said, "After today, I will no longer participate in the recording here. From now on, your direct supervisor will be Mr. Xiang, who is sitting next to me, and his assistant will be Assistant Fang."
The interns looked at each other, unsure of what was going on.
—What? President Qin isn't coming? Doesn't that mean I'll miss out on some fun?
—It's not bad that they've recorded so many episodes. Do you really think a CEO can stay with these interns until the end of the show?
—But it's still a bit sudden, isn't it? Why did they suddenly say that no one else would be coming?
—I think it's perfectly normal. President Qin already has a mountain of reports on his desk. He can't possibly stay at the subsidiary for that long, can he? (From a low-level employee of the Qin Group)
—That's true. If I were the head of the subsidiary, I'd be sweating buckets right now. After all, the longer the boss stays, the more trouble might arise!
That being said, President Qin's face is also a guarantee of high viewership ratings!
—You guys who are obsessed with looks have really gone too far.
—It's okay, it's the same with the interns. Is it that Shao Yang isn't funny anymore, or Du Heng isn't steady anymore, or Han Caiwei is clueless anymore, or Xie Zhihui isn't refined anymore? Or is Jiang Lai not beautiful anymore?
—Now that you mention it, the contestants are quite good-looking too.
—But the pressure of work has made them all visibly look a bit haggard!
—Isn't this how all jobs are? Do you expect people to be supported?
—The feng shui of the Forbidden City is beneficial to people...
—Upstairs, hahaha
Not only the viewers in the live stream, but the contestants were also shocked by the news. After all, Qin Yijian was the big boss from the beginning, and now that he's leaving, it's quite unexpected.
However, no one had any particular thoughts; they just assumed that he was too busy to take care of things here.
Qin Yijian looked at the five people and said, "I hope you will continue to perform well in the future."
Jiang Lai looked up at him, but to her surprise, he avoided her gaze.
Jiang Lai: ? Being so mysterious, something's wrong with you.
From that day on, Qin Yijian never participated in the recording of the program again.
Like everyone else, Jiang Lai went to work and came home in an orderly fashion, completed the tasks assigned by her supervisor, and then after half a month, she and the five interns in Group B switched internship companies and began her internship at an entertainment company.
