Hotpot?

What was with this development?

“It’s a long story.” Qin Ran took a sip of milk tea and said slowly, “Let’s eat and talk tomorrow.”

She hung up.

Editor Shen was still in a daze.

Next to him, Assistant Cao had also heard the conversation.

“Magic Lamp… wants to eat hotpot with you? She’s also in Shanghai?” Assistant Cao looked at Editor Shen incredulously.

Editor Shen was also stunned. “I think so.”

Then, his phone rang again. Magic Lamp had just sent him an address.

Looking at the address, he saw that it was a very famous hotpot place in Shanghai, and it wasn’t too far away.

Wasn’t it too much of a coincidence?

In fact…

Assistant Cao indiscriminately looked at him. “Magic Lamp has always been reluctant to meet people, but she actually wants to meet you…”

Editor Shen glanced at her. “Don’t make wild guesses.”

However, he indeed felt a little doubtful inside. Whenever he chatted with Magic Lamp and mentioned taking promotional photos or three-dimensional publicity, Magic Lamp would change the topic. Overtime, Editor Shen had stopped mentioning it.

He had always directly rejected activities in the company for Magic Lamp.

Over the years, her habit had been embedded into his mind.

But now that Magic Lamp wanted to meet him, he was indeed a little entranced.

“Speaking of it, Magic Lamp’s voice sounds rather nice too,” Assistant Cao said again. Then, she straightened her expression and said seriously, “I’ll go with you tomorrow. Let’s clarify the matter between Editor Liu and her.”

She knew that Editor Shen was worried that Fourth Master Liu would bury Magic Lamp because of this.

…

The hotpot restaurant sent by Qin Ran had been Liu Jue’s recommendation.

She had an appointment with Yan Xi for a hotpot at 11 o’clock.

But she already informed him that Editor Shen would also be coming.

Yan Xi wasn’t bothered by these things and was already used to Qin Ran having many friends.

At half-past ten, the hotpot restaurant was still closed.

Qin Ran arrived more than half an hour early because she had something to say to Editor Shen.

This hotpot restaurant was an old brand, and the Liu family had a special room here, which Liu Jue had already reserved for Qin Ran.

When she arrived, the hotpot restaurant opened its doors in advance, and the manager came out to greet her personally.

Not long after she entered, Editor Shen and Assistant Cao also arrived.

“Is your surname Shen?” The manager saw Editor Shen coming forward and directly greeted him with a smile. Behind him, the four service staff looked grand, as though they were in a palace.

Editor Shen and Assistant Cao didn’t expect such a scene.

They exchanged glances, and Editor Shen said, “… Yes.”

“Miss Qin is already waiting for you. Please follow me.” The manager led the way.

Soon, they arrived in an antique room.

There was a bamboo row outside the room door with the traditional Chinese character “Liu” written on it. However, Editor Shen and Assistant Cao didn’t notice it.

They were still in a state of shock.

The manager reached out and was about to knock on the door when Cheng Mu opened it. He was tall — half a head taller than Editor Shen — and also had rough features. Upon seeing Editor Shen, he turned sideways and ushered him in. “Please come in quickly, Editor Shen. Miss Qin is inside.”

While talking, he looked at Editor Shen.

He thought lightly inside that this editor certainly didn’t know how green with envy Lu Zhixin and Scholar Liao were of him now.

Editor Shen nodded cautiously. “Okay.”

Cheng Mu nodded solemnly at this moment. He let Editor Shen in and said in a very oppressive, solemn voice, “Come in quickly.”

Editor Shen listened to his voice and found that it sounded different from the lazy voice he picked up from Magic Lamp’s call…

“Magic…” He was about to greet when he saw the people sitting at the square table.

Editor Shen and Assistant Cao had both read “Celestial Wolf”. Celestial Wolf’s style was majestic, had a magnificent composition, and a grand aura.

The Celestial Wolf in their minds had a heroic aura. In short, they never thought it would be like a little girl and that she might not be good-looking either.

However…

The person sitting by the window also happened to look up and meet his eyes. Her complexion was snow-white, her apricot eyes were slightly narrowed, and her facial features were perfect. While holding her earphone cable in her white and slender hands, she raised her chin slightly. “Sit as you please,” she said.

The sunlight shining diagonally through the window imprinted on her, making her look beautiful and almost unrealistic.

She was indeed not a little girl. She was a little cool, and carefreeness flowed through her eyes.

This face… She could totally be in the entertainment circle…

Opposite her, two cups of tea were already placed on the table.

There was another cup beside her.

Editor Shen and Assistant Cao sat down across from her, shocked beyond words.

Especially Assistant Cao, who couldn’t help but raise her head and steal more glances at Qin Ran. She secretly thought to herself, if Magic Lamp’s face was put in the comics world, what would happen to Mu Zining?

“Magic Lamp, are you from Shanghai?” Assistant Cao introduced herself and then asked Qin Ran.

Qin Ran shook her head. “No, I came to Shanghai to play.”

Assistant Cao let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “No wonder.”

Once the two had calmed down, Editor Shen went back to business.

He raised his head and looked seriously at Qin Ran. “Magic Lamp, I’ll help you put in a good word with Editor Liu later. You should stay under him. You’re very popular now, so Editor Liu won’t make things difficult for you.”

“No.” Qin Ran shook her head.

“Magic Lamp!” Editor Shen stared solemnly at her. “Editor Liu is the Fourth Master Liu of the Liu family. He has a wide range of connections.”

“Fourth Master Liu?” Cheng Mu asked curiously.

He had never heard Liu Jue speak of Fourth Master Liu before.

“You’re not locals and don’t know the Liu family’s status. You don’t know how ruthless they are…” Editor Shen trailed off.

Cheng Mu got up and opened the door.

Both Editor Shen and Assistant Cao still didn’t know what Cheng Mu was doing.

Just then, they saw a middle-aged man coming in with a briefcase. “Miss, I was dealing with business in Beijing. I asked my uncle to change the ticket and will have to fly back soon. I came to give you the contract in advance.”

Minister Qin came in and hurriedly handed her the signed contract from yesterday.
