I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 222

Shi Nuan?

Mai Qi froze. Did Song Jingyu see Shi Nuan just now?

Mai Qi tried to play dumb, “They have an employer-employee relationship. Ms. Shi comes to Mr. Fu’s office when he needs her to take care of some work, otherwise, she usually doesn’t step foot on the twenty-seventh floor. Maybe you’ve misunderstood something, Ms. Song?”

Yet Song Jingyu gritted her teeth and asked, “Misunderstood? Why is it that Yan only asks for her and no one else?”

“Ms. Song, Mr. Fu asks for whoever he needs and can assist him. It’s not just Ms. Shi.”

“But she’s the only female!” No matter what Mai Qi said, Song Jingyu could tell that this Shi Nuan was different. Maybe it was a women’s intuition. Each time she saw Shi Nuan going into Fu Chengyan’s office, she would feel uneasy. “I don’t care! Go and investigate this matter for me. This Shi Nuan must be some floozy. Tell me if you dig up any dirt on her. We must have this woman stay far away from Shengyuan and far away from Yan!”

Mai Qi furrowed her brows, “That doesn’t seem like a great idea. She’s from the project management department. I…”

“Mai Qi, aren’t we best friends?” Song Jingyu grabbed onto Mai Qi’s hand, “You’re free tonight, right? Let’s go shopping! I remember there’s a nice French restaurant that just opened. My treat!”

“Um…” Mai Qi smiled awkwardly, pulled her hand back, and nodded. “Fine. I’ll try to look into Shi Nuan.”

Inside Fu Chengyan’s office, Fu Chengyan was holding the annual meeting’s agenda in one hand and a pen in the other. He frowned and looked up at Mai Qi. “Did she really say that?”

“Yes. Ms. Song also asked me to have French cuisine with her tonight. She seems to be terribly biased against Shi Nuan. I don’t know why, but every time she sees her, she just gets super emotional.”

“She saw Shi Nuan?” asked Fu Chengyan.

Mai Qi froze. “I’m not too sure. Probably not. I think she’s only seen her back view a few times. But her emotions fluctuate heavily which makes me think Ms. Song might be…” Mai Qi hesitated, not knowing how to best verbalize her thoughts.

Fu Chengyan chuckled coldly and placed his pen down. “You think she’s mentally unwell?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Fu.” Mai Qi quickly apologized, “I don’t mean to gossip about Ms. Song, I just…”

Fu Chengyan raised his hand and smiled, “It’s okay. It’s true that she’s a little abnormal. Keep this to yourself, and don’t tell anyone else.”

“Yes, sir!” Of course, Mai Qi wouldn’t share that with anyone else. Even if Fu Chengyan didn’t like Song Jingyu, she was still considered an important person. No way would she dare spread that kind of news.

“Since Song Jingyu asked you to look into Shi Nuan, you should go ahead and do it.”

“Ah, is that okay? After all, Ms. Shi…”

Mai Qi felt sorry for Shi Nuan, having done nothing wrong, and yet, ending up in Song Jingyu’s crosshairs. Fu Chengyan waved his hand, “I’ll have Zhou Zheng pass you the investigation results in a few days, and you can just pass it along to Song Jingyu directly.”

“Yes, sir.” Mai Qi saw no reason to rebut Fu Chengyan’s decision. “Then, Mr. Fu. Is everything okay with the agenda? If there are no issues, I’ll go ahead with them.”

“Basically, it all looks alright. But I see that we haven’t confirmed any artists from Xinhuang yet. Do you have other ideas?”

“I went to Xinhuang, however, the person-in-charge there couldn’t provide a final list.” Mai Qi paused before continuing, “The two rookies Xinhuang has been pushing these years aren’t bad, but Mr. Zhou thinks they’re still too green, so I haven’t made a final decision yet. Does Mr. Fu have any suggestions?”

“Let Zhou Zheng himself decide. You don’t need to worry about this any longer.”

Xinhuang Entertainment.

The news of Shengyuan’s annual meeting would naturally travel to Xinhuang. Producer Qin Hong was having a meeting with some of the more senior members of Xinhuang. Each year, Xinhuang would send a few of their artists over; and for those artists, that meant that they were looked favorably upon by Xinhuang. Plenty of artists would try and find a way to attend, and yet, only a few would be chosen.

The names who ended up being shortlisted this year were Xinhuang’s top artist, Bai Qing, and a newly signed rookie, Hai Na. The rest had yet to be confirmed.
