Chapter 435: Chapter 256: Pei – Happy New Year

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingyan fell into deep thought,

he wasn’t too panicked, just sorted through his thoughts.

It was normal that Lin Wanzhou had planned to go to Qinghe for the Chinese New Year, so it was reasonable for them to travel together. She was staying at the hotel because there were many people at the event and she flew in overnight.

He had no plans to go to the hotel, so… it made sense.

No, why feel guilty at all?

Xu Qingyan touched his face and began pacing back and forth again.

There was no time to ask why, coincidences were common, he just hadn’t considered that aspect. Besides, who knew Pei Muchan would end up walking from her hometown all the way to Chang’an?

First, make sure Lin Wanzhou wouldn’t attend the event and then meet with Pei Muchan. Since General Manager Pei had traveled thousands of miles on New Year’s Eve, one couldn’t simply meet and be done with it…

But he couldn’t leave Lin Wanzhou alone in the hotel for a day and a night either. He had to take the girl out for a while, then go home.

The more he thought about it, the more screwed he felt. If there were no work, he could still manage to run between the two.

But today was New Year’s Eve, and he couldn’t leave his work post, which wouldn’t end until late into the night.

The problem was, with both women waiting, once he managed some time, how would he choose? Whether to go see Lin Wanzhou or Pei Muchan, either way, one party would sense something was off.

If he really had to choose… Xu Qingyan decided not to choose, intending to ask for reinforcements.

He remembered that Shen Jinyue had shared travel photos on her social circle with Zhou Lili, on a winter break trip. It seemed like they hadn’t left Shaanxi, since they had posted about Xi’an’s biangbiang noodles just yesterday.

He made a phone call.

“Eh? Xu Qingyan, why are you calling me out of the blue?”

On the other end, Shen Jingqi, the scatterbrain, asked.

“Shen, the Great Beauty, what are you saying? We are dear friends who have shared life and death experiences.” Xu Qingyan forced a couple of dry laughs, then went straight to the point, “Where are you now? Do you want to come to Chang’an for the Spring Festival Gala? I have internal access.”

“I’m already in Chang’an, but I’m off to Sichuan soon. The tickets are bought! I plan to celebrate New Year’s Eve and stay up late with Li Li.”

Xu Qingyan was desperate, not stopping to wonder why Shen Jinyue would go to Sichuan for the New Year instead of staying at home.

Assuming that the mental state of college students these days was concerning, not helping walk a dog, then dressing up as a woman, one could smell the scent of wood from the study desk as if it conveyed a sense of a coffin. It wasn’t surprising that these days, instead of staying home for the New Year, they preferred going out every day.

“Sichuan is too far, and what’s fun about the New Year over there?” Xu Qingyan coaxed gently, “Why don’t you both come over? You can see the Spring Festival Gala stars here, and you might even get on camera, how about that?”

“Oh, I’ll consider it.” Shen Jinyue said.

Xu Qingyan felt slightly annoyed. He had few friends of the opposite sex, and now only Shen Jinyue could save him.

“Chang’an is more lively than Sichuan; stop considering it. It’s a quick taxi ride to Bell Tower Plaza.”

“But why are you acting so strange today, suddenly being so nice to me?” Over the phone, Shen Jinyue suddenly said, “You wouldn’t be hiding something, would you? Or planning to ambush me in Chang’an?”

Just like that, Xu Qingyan thought he was screwed, the blockhead was getting wise.

“Err… I…”

“You’re not trying to chase after me, are you?”

Xu Qingyan was stunned, nearly blurting out an expletive. Who would understand, encountering a girl so clueless, seriously chilling to the bone.

He laughed in exasperation, as he had never said a kind word to Shen Jinyue, and this clueless girl imagined he was chasing her.

“That’s not it, I’m not worthy of the Great Beauty Shen.” He responded with effort, “However, your Sister Zhou Zhou is also in Chang’an. She even mentioned you to me yesterday, complaining that you didn’t reach out to her for New Year’s, don’t you feel guilty?”

“That…” Shen Jinyue hesitated.

“You scoundrel!” Xu Qingyan turned the tables on her, appealing to her emotions and reasoning, “It’s fine, I covered for you, didn’t say you went off to play with Pei.”

“Then… thanks.” Shen Jinyue sounded guilty, whispering, “Don’t tell Sister Zhou Zhou, otherwise she and Ting Ting won’t hang out with me anymore.”

“Shen Jinyue, aren’t you being a bit too scummy? Unable to pick a side and stick with it?” Xu Qingyan tilted his head while holding the phone, organizing the documents in his hand, as he was about to leave soon.

He would be busy until late at night and could leave right after giving a heads-up.

“How am I scummy? I just want to be friends with both Pei and Sister Zhou Zhou!” Shen Jinyue declared earnestly, “Can’t everyone get along in harmony? If not, I have no choice but to do this!”

“I can’t clone myself, after all… It’s not my fault.”

Indeed, Xu Qingyan silently applauded Shen Jinyue in his mind. We really are a pair of natural partners in crime.

“That’s just an excuse, just come on, stop considering.” Xu Qingyan said, “You don’t want Sister Zhou Zhou to ignore you in the future, do you?”

“Wuwu, no, I don’t.”

“Then what are you waiting for, come on over, waiting for love?” Xu Qingyan said, “I’ve got to go, be quick.”

Right after he hung up the phone, a red packet popped up in the directors’ group chat.

It was from one of the three big heads, Lu Liangsheng, with the cover saying, “The final battle, let’s go!” Fortunately, Xu Qingyan was quick and snagged a red packet worth several tens. Once someone else started giving out packets, he followed by sending one slightly less than what Lu Liangsheng sent.

Ding ding ding, the red packet was gone in half a minute.

“Teacher Xu is so generous!”

“Thanks to Teacher Xu for the poverty aid, may Teacher Xu have a strong back and healthy kidneys!”

“Thank you, Teacher Xu.”

These days, there’s an art to red packet giving, which should be frequent but small, not large and infrequent. Otherwise, people might not know what to say after receiving one, suggesting that even one penny counts, or saying the boss is epic, which can be pretty awkward.

Xu Qingyan didn’t care much about that and never followed the three big heads when it came to giving out red packets.
