My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

Chapter 138 Continue to Keep Distance

```

"Nannan, can you ask Zhang Bin what's going on? His dad was getting along fine with me, so why did he suddenly leave?"

It was Zhou Cuiping and her daughter on the phone again.

Soon, Zhou Nannan's voice came through: "Mom, Zhang Bin just called me, he said his dad might not be looking for a partner for the time being. The manager at his company had a talk with him, saying his dad's late-life romance was affecting the company's image. If he doesn't listen to advice, Zhang Bin could even lose his job!"

"What?"

Zhou Cuiping sounded extremely surprised, then angrily said, "Is his company meddling too much? Even if someone's dad is looking for a partner, they have to interfere? What a crappy company! Why doesn't it just go out of business!"

"Mom, why are you getting so worked up? Do you really hope Zhang Bin loses his job? If he gets pushed out of Four Seas Entertainment, how will I be able to get in? There are plenty of retired old men with pensions in East Sea, I can find you another one!"

Zhou Nannan actually sounded quite calm; since the company had raised objections, the priority was obviously to keep Zhang Bin's job secure.

"Then... okay, come home early this afternoon!"

"Oh!"

After Zhou Cuiping ended the call with her daughter, she didn't make any more phone calls.

Qin Yu shrugged and logged out of WeChat.

This old lady thinks she can compete with me? With just a flick of my finger, I can leave her with egg on her face!

Lingling...

It was at this time that the private number rang.

Since he had been transferred to a branch office and wasn't around Yan Mingyu anymore, there was no need to keep his private number switched off.

"Hello, Big Head?"

Qin Yu saw it was Xu Peng calling and answered the phone.

"Boss... are you flush with cash? Can you spare some money?"

A sheepish voice came from the other end of the line.

"Uh... another girlfriend?"

Qin Yu knew this guy was usually quite frugal, reluctant to spend on food or clothes, but he was always generous when it came to women.

"Yeah... just met her these past couple of days, I don't get paid till the end of the month!"

Xu Peng openly admitted.

"Alright, is five thousand enough?"

Qin Yu's base salary was now seventy to eighty thousand, so he was pretty well-off. He truly hoped his buddy could find a girlfriend and settle down soon.

He and Qin Yu were the same age, and if he kept drifting, he'd be thirty soon.

"Enough, that's plenty!"

Xu Peng hastily said.

"Okay, I'll transfer it via WeChat."

Qin Yu put down the phone, found Xu Peng on WeChat, and transferred five thousand to him.

"Thanks, boss..."

After Xu Peng sent a message back, he accepted the money.

Don't mention it; if you get married this time, just consider this five thousand as a wedding gift.

Qin Yu replied.

He had always been generous with Xu Peng because Xu Peng had treated him as a friend when Qin Yu was at his lowest.

Now that his circumstances had improved, he definitely wouldn't shortchange him.

After chatting a few lines on WeChat, Qin Yu returned to the office.

Yan Mingyu was holding her phone, apparently chatting with someone as well.

Seeing Qin Yu come in, she asked, "Not busy tonight?"

"Heh, not at all. Are you inviting me to dinner?"

Qin Yu asked with a smile.

Ever since he found out that the lofty beauty of a boss was his wife, he spoke a lot more freely.

```

"It's not me, it's Xiaoxiao. She wants to see you but is too embarrassed to contact you, so she asked me to speak up!"

Mingyu also had a look of helplessness in her eyes.

She didn't know what was wrong with her best friend and why she was so fixated on Qin Yu.

This guy, apart from being manly and quite brave, had low EQ and was a complete straight male stereotype. How many girls like that type?

Yet, Liu Xiaoxiao just had to like him!

Qin Yu: I should be thanking you!

"Er... all right, I'll make things clear in front of her!"

Qin Yu nodded his head.

As the day he would lay his cards on the table with Mingyu approached, he certainly had to sort out his relationship with Liu Xiaoxiao first. Otherwise, if Mingyu found out later, she might think he was planning to play the field, even hitting on her best friend.

"Hmm, just be mindful of the way you say it. Don't let her carefree attitude fool you; she has a pretty strong sense of pride!"

Mingyu couldn't help but remind him.

She was afraid Qin Yu's directness might hurt Xiaoxiao.

"All right, let's go around the company and take a look!"

Mingyu didn't bring up Liu Xiaoxiao again. Her visit this time had another purpose, which was to show support for Qin Yu, letting everyone understand that he was her man at the company.

"Okay!"

Qin Yu accompanied Mingyu as they left and made their way through each department.

As they reached the planning department, Qin Yu specifically looked around but didn't see Zhang Bin. He asked the planning manager accompanying them, "Where's Zhang Bin?"

"Er... he took leave to deal with some family matters for his old man. Seems like his dad is quite stubborn too, making quite a fuss."

The planning department manager said.

"Oh, if Zhang Bin can't even handle his family affairs properly, that also shows there's a problem with his capabilities!"

After Qin Yu made a comment in a rather indifferent tone, he continued to the next department with Mingyu.

In less than an hour, everyone in the company knew how powerful Qin Yu's backing was; even the beautiful boss of Four Seas Corporation was showing him around to get acquainted with the company environment.

Around 2 p.m.

Qin Yu and Mingyu arrived at the photography studio.

Clearly, Tang Bing's performance this time was a great improvement from the morning, and even Mingyu herself was very satisfied.

She felt that Tang Bing was truly putting her heart into "portraying" her.

Whether it was her demeanor, aura, or tone of voice, it was all very close to her own.

Thanks to Tang Bing's progress, the whole shoot went smoothly, and everything was done in just three hours.

The last step was post-production effects and editing. Once that was done, the minutes-long promo could be released and promoted.

"I've gained a lot from my trip to East Sea. First, I want to thank someone, Qin Yu, President Qin. He taught me how to play the role of President Yan well. Without his guidance, I might have botched the performance, which would have tarnished my acting career. Additionally, thanks to all the staff for their hard work. I hope we can collaborate again in the future!"

After the director called "cut," Tang Bing, holding the microphone and looking sincere, said this and finally, she gave Qin Yu, who was among the crowd, a deep bow.

"Miss Tang Bing, you're too polite!"

Qin Yu stood up and returned the gesture with his hands clasped together.

"...."

Mingyu slightly raised her head and looked at the man beside her, her eyes unwavering. How much did he really know about her?

To let a stranger, an actor, portray her so convincingly?

At first, she thought it was due to the actor being insightful and talented, but it turned out it was all Qin Yu's doing?

This made Mingyu even more convinced of her earlier thought; this guy must like her. No, she had to keep her distance from now on, to prevent him from harboring inappropriate thoughts.

Qin Yu: Did I... shoot myself in the foot?

Lingling...

Just then, Mingyu's phone rang. She glanced at it but didn't answer, instead replying with a message.

Afterward, she stood up and said, "Let's go; work's over, and Xiaoxiao is here!"
