“Who is that girl who just walked with President Xia? Why have I not seen her before?”

“Could she be a new female artist in our company?”

“You are overanalyzing things. Do you think that President Xia would bring new female artists around in person?”

“It’s hard to say. Perhaps a daughter of an elite family is bored and has nothing to do and wants to make her debut in the entertainment industry? It isn’t like there is no such precedent.”

As soon as Ning Qirui walked into the company’s main entrance, he heard the remarks from a few young girls at the front desk. He frowned slightly but did not say anything and went upstairs with his agent.

It was inevitable that some things in this world would be so coincidental. As they walked out of the elevator door, they ran into the subject of discussion of the little girls at the front desk.

“President Xia.” Ning Qirui’s agent recognized his immediate boss instantly and greeted him first.

Xia Junsheng nodded and asked in a businesslike tone, “Have you finished filming the endorsement deal for the Xi family?”

“Yes, we just finished filming.” Ning Qirui seemed to be acquainted with Xia Junsheng and spoke casually. “This is?”

“It’s my friend’s younger sister who is interested in doing an internship in our company, so I am bringing her over to have a look first. Yayan, this is Ning Qirui, a young rising star that our company is boosting.”

When Xia Junsheng said this, he gave Su Yayan a pointed look. He was curious if she thought that the person they had already started to boost had star quality.

Su Yayan twitched her mouth slightly. She could not deny that he indeed possessed star quality and potential for stardom, but he also had a higher chance of being a time bomb.

If left to its own devices, this time bomb would not only squander away the company’s resources in due course but also invite other problems down the road.

“Yayan?” Before Su Yayan could say anything, Ning Qirui cut in surprisingly. “Are you the Young Mistress of the Su family, Su Yayan?”

“Qirui, do you know Yayan?”

Ning Qirui chuckled lightly and said in an undistinguishable tone, ” I have to stay at this company for a few years as soon as I join. If I do not understand the family situation of my employer before signing the contract, then I would be a silly fair sweet thing.” (TN: Silly fair sweet thing is an online slang that refers to someone, usually a girl who has no ill intentions and sees the good in everyone.)

Su Yayan retorted in her heart, ‘Are you not a silly fair sweet thing?’ In the past life, Wen Jingping had him wrapped around her finger. He was her top lapdog who attended to her every whim and fancy and ultimately paid a heavy price by sacrificing himself and his two families. Was he even qualified to use that term to mock himself?

To say that he was a silly fair sweet thing would be an insult to the words “silly fair sweet thing”, okay?

Su Yayan and Ning Qirui had not been acquainted in this life, and the two had never even crossed paths before today. Why did Ning Qirui have such hostility towards her?

The only possibility was that Ning Qirui and Wen Jingping had met before. Not only that, Wen Jingping had likely brainwashed him to become her loyal devotee.

That was right. No matter the original work or past life, Ning Qirui was a loyal lapdog of Wen Jingping. He was one of the six spare tires who was fascinated by Wen Jingping. (TN: Spare tire in Chinese slang refers to a person who is the backup candidate of his or her romantic partner.)

On the surface, he was just a well-known male mainstream artist. In fact, he was the most favored young master of the two major families of Ning and Qi.

This young master positively viewed the heroine Wen Jingping’s pure, kind and unpretentious image.

Their relationship was inexplicable. Before a serious illness claimed Ning Qirui’s life half a year later, what he could not let go of was not his family and friends. Instead, it was Wen Jingping, whom he had only known for a few months. He cared for Wen Jingping so much that he even asked his family to take good care of her after his death.

Thanks to Ning Qirui’s dying wish, Wen Jingping, and Huo Shaofeng had escaped many a sticky situation in the past life. With the support of the entire clan, the two families Ning Qi had mindlessly bailed them out of their troubles.
