Chapter 172: Is it because I don’t look good enough???

Yu Ru Bing also didn’t know how things got to this step of becoming brothers in a sudden foolish move. Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

When she heard He Xian Yu’s “holding hands” just a moment ago, her mind suddenly went blank, and during this time of crisis, due to a sudden rush of blood the word “brothers” popped up, compelling her make such a move afterwards…

It feels like she was mentally disabled.

Yu Ru Bing feigned calmness as she looked at He Xian Yu who was speechless after her behavior of having hot-bloodedly declared being brothers, then assuming an air of having caught sight of her _(HXY): “Ah, Instructor He, why did you come out?”

She could feel it, He Xian Yu’s silence towards her could almost breakthrough Hua Yao.

Not to mention He Xian Yu, even Tang Han Qiu herself was left speechless.

He Xian Yu came back to her senses and replied: “I’m waiting for my agent, she went to get milk tea for take away.”

She was afraid that with You Jing’s small body, she would not be able to hold so many cups.

Then she looked again at the two people tightly holding each other’s hands, and the phrase “we’re brothers so let’s go together!” kept lingering in her mind, the feeling of hatred for iron not becoming steel¹ immediately gushed out from her chest.

What brother, is she toxic, is she poisonous?! Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

Making do by letting go of proper romance, and despite everything go for brotherhood instead?!

Her taking the initiative towards Tang Han Qiu in the variety shows were a waste!

He Xian Yu was so angry, that she really wanted to catch Yu Ru Bing right now and properly educate her, but after thinking about it, she temporarily gave up, then took a step and walked past them, planning to pick up You Jing first— You Jing was more important.

As she passed by the two of them, she left a word: “Then I will take my leave first.”

In the end, they saw You Jing coming out of the elevator holding several cups of milk tea in her hands, which could be assumed were for the other evaluators.

He Xian Yu hurried forward and helped her carry some of the load, then with a genial smile on her face asked: “Our Xiao Jing have worked hard, are you tired?”

You Jing frowned and asked, “Why did you come out, aren’t you evaluating?” Then after discovering Tang Han Qiu and Yu Ru Bing, her expression changed in a second, she immediately perked up and showed a smile of a professional social animal, “Why is President Tang and Miss Yu here?”

Tang Han Qiu said, “Intending to go out.”

Yu Ru Bing nodded— we’re brothers so let’s go together!

You Jing oh’d and said: “Then I won’t hold up your time.”

Tang Han Qiu nodded slightly, and said: “Let our Hua Yao reimburse you for these milk teas, Miss He have worked hard to participate in the audition process.”

He Xian Yu declined: “President Tang is polite, just think of it as my treating everyone a drink. And I came to participate in the audition process on my own, so there’s no need to spend any money.”

The two went back and forth, and ultimately, He Xian Yu successfully won.

Tang Han Qiu no longer said anything, and after thanking her for her hard work, she took Yu Ru Bing and her agent Li Tian Tian to enter the elevator.

He Xian Yu immediately turned her head towards You Jing and said: “I’m afraid that carrying these is hard, so let me help you with it.”

You Jing loosened her eyebrows: “If you lessen your impudent remarks that would already be helping me share the load.” Then added, “Alright, alright, fine, quickly go back, you, don’t leave those other people inside dry in the air!”

He Xian Yu was full of smiles: “Okay, okay, okay, I got it, I got it.”

……

There was a driver who was especially responsible for picking and dropping them off, so Tang Han Qiu didn’t drive. Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

Li Tian Tian sat on the passenger seat, while Tang Han Qiu and Yu Ru Bing sat in the back seats. Tang Han Qiu was right in the middle of having a conversation with Jiang Ying Yao on the phone, wanting to have a cooperation with Ru Feng².

Arte’s group King was preparing to launch a new album, and Tang Han Qiu wanted to help Chi Nuan win the right to compose the title track, then win over a collaboration for Tan Xi and Yu Ru Bing with King, such as participating in the MV or the chorus.

Borrowing the easterly wind from the popular boy group King, to help push their resources up.

The people she brought back from Guangying absolutely couldn’t be wronged.

However, the three of them were currently developing on their own, so they were not at all wronged. Tan Xi was invited to be a mentor for an upcoming boy group draft, Chi Nuan was preparing for her new drama, and Yu Ru Bing was working hard to expand her acting route, starting with Hua Yao’s first film <Infatuation>.

Artists usually never worries about having a lack of resources, but the more the better.

Jiang Ying Yao asked Tang Han Qiu to come to Tang Group to have a conversation for a while, and it so happened that she was also going to Tang Group today.

Although they were family, there were still a sequence of process to go through, and specific matters could only be more clearly discussed after meeting.

Tang Han Qiu replied with an okay, and then hung up the phone.

Beside her, Yu Ru Bing was playing with her mobile phone for quite a while, sitting in an extremely unbridled way, her body tilted, stretched across the two seats and leaning her head on Tang Han Qiu’s shoulder.

President Tang and Yu Ru Bing had a deep friendship, the entirety of Hua Yao knew about this, it wasn’t surprising to anyone, so naturally they wouldn’t say anything. Those who should drive should just drive, and ought to just look at the road ahead without saying a word.

Yu Ru Bing continued playing, then received a WeChat message from He Xian Yu.

[Not what she seems Film Empress He Xian Yu]: Yu Ru Bing, I hope you can reflect on yourself

[Yu Ru Bing]: ??? Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

Okay, what did she have to reflect on? Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

[Not what she seems Film Empress He Xian Yu]: Think back to what you just did towards President Tang a moment ago

Being brothers with the person you secretly love, was she out of her mind?!

[Not what she seems Film Empress He Xian Yu]: Your being single is not without any reason

Yu Ru Bing laughed half-heartedly, and a feeling of guilt spontaneously arose.

Yes, she must reflect.

[Yu Ru Bing]: Okay, I will definitely reflect on it

Then afterwards she really thought back over it, why she was single for so long before coming into this world.

Having heard her laughter, Tang Han Qiu casually asked: “What are you laughing at?”

Feeling uneasy Yu Ru Bing handed the phone to Tang Han Qiu, and said with a helpless smile: “I’m sorry for her.”

By the time the day came that she could be frank with He Xian Yu, she might have to offer a humble apology.

She grabbed Tang Han Qiu’s hand again: “I’m sorry, brother.”

Tang Han Qiu gently pinched her face: “You just have so many tricks.”

Yu Ru Bing contrarily took pride in that, and after prudently closing the chat box with He Xian Yu, she opened the chat box she had with Tang Han Qiu, then typed a line on the screen: If I don’t have that much tricks, then how can I stand above from the crowd and make you look at me, and after that capture your heart!

Pride and self-confidence permeated between the lines.

Tang Han Qiu propped and gently tilted her head, then asked in a calm voice, “The way you stand out is by being a troll?”

Then could it be assumed that she has a very unusual insight, having unexpectedly fallen in love with a troll?

Yu Ru Bing continued typing: Don’t slander me, I’ve never trolled you! Towards you I am obviously a conscientious and diligent career fan!

Tang Han Qiu let out a chuckle, then mouthed without any sound: Not a wife fan?

Yu Ru Bing sat up straight: “Ei, it will be as you wish, I will do it, I can do it, there’s no problem.”

Also a familiar rule in the workplace of a social animal.

Tang Han Qiu raised her hand and lightly slapped her on the forehead.

Then Yu Ru Bing received a message from He Xian Yu again. Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

[Not what she seems Film Empress He Xian Yu]: What time does your family’s President Tang usually come back?

[Yu Ru Bing]: ? What’s the matter? You have something that you want to find her for?

[Not what she seems Film Empress He Xian Yu]: I have

[Not what she seems Film Empress He Xian Yu]: Your major lifelong affair

Yu Ru Bing: “???”

A sudden concern from a respected mother???

Before Tang Han Qiu and them arrived, Tang Mo Yuan had instructed the entire Tang Group to not allow for even a single flower petal to appear, so Tang Han Qiu didn’t have be worried about getting affected.

Yu Ru Bing precisely hit the nail with her impression of the Tang Group conglomerate, the magnificent building stood silently in the center of the city like a towering mountain, with every corner leaking out a majestic momentum. People standing at the foot of the Tang Group, similar to a tiny little ant would appear extremely small.

They were received by Huo Lian Hao, the person in charge of brand endorsements, followed by several expressionless staff members.

Huo Lian Hao came forward: “President Tang.”

Tang Han Qiu replied: “It’s been a long time, Director Huo.”

Huo Lian Hao asked: “The chairman’s wife is already here, would you like to see her now?” After a pause, he added, “Madam Little Chairman.”

Jiang Ying Yao.

After Jiang Ying Yao rescued Yu Ru Bing from the banquet last time by making public her identity, she herself simply and directly disclosed her own status of being Tang Mo Yuan’s wife on the Internet, to prove this she also took their wedding rings while holding hands with Tang Mo Yuan, then took a picture with him to show their conjugal love.

Moreover, having successfully posted her and Tang Mo Yuan’s picture on Weibo, she added the title of the Madam Chairman to her title.

However, there were also some people that were doubtful about this— since Jiang Ying Yao was the Tang family’s daughter-in-law, then Ru Feng should be a company of the Tang family, so for what reason did the Tang family take the trouble, expending a great deal of effort in also opening Hua Yao?

Was Jiang Ying Yao on bad terms with the Tang family, so wasn’t willing to join in the Tang Group conglomerate?

However, the fact was the exact opposite, the Tang family had a harmonious relationship with her. From the beginning their Tang family never thought to annex Ru Feng, because this was Jiang Ying Yao’s own thing, Ru Feng did not belong to the Tang family, nor did it belong to the Jiang family, but belonged to Jiang Ying Yao alone. Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

Tang He Tian and the others respected her, so as with her wish, if she wanted to join the Tang Group then they’ll merge, if she didn’t then they won’t, Tang Group would never stretch out their grip towards Ru Feng on their own initiative.

Therefore, Hua Yao is the genuine proprietorship of Tang Group.

Fortunately, under the leadership of Tang Han Qiu, Hua Yao was gradually making progress and getting better day by day, which could be considered as living up to the expectations of the elders in the family.

She currently wanted to make Hua Yao better, then she should make its artists better.

She looked at Yu Ru Bing and asked, “Can you shoot the photos by yourself?”

“Me and my sister-in-law wants to discuss about all of your matters.”

Although she didn’t know how long their discussion would last, but this would save time. Rather than accompanying Yu Ru Bing to finish taking the photos, and then let her _(YRB) wait for herself _(THQ) to finish talking with Jiang Ying Yao, she wanted to deal and finish work as soon as possible and keep Yu Ru Bing company.

This was the Tang Group, so there’s no need to worry about any messy stuff appearing that would trouble Yu Ru Bing.

Yu Ru Bing nodded: “I can, you go ahead.”

She had already attended many photoshoots, she was already experienced, and wasn’t afraid at all.

Tang Han Qiu nodded, and went to look for Jiang Ying Yao guided by the staff.

Yu Ru Bing followed Huo Lian Hao to the photo studio.

With Huo Lian Hao’s supervising on the side, the shooting went very smoothly.

Yu Ru Bing wore a black tube top dress on her flawless white skin, while her makeup looked charming and gorgeous. On her smooth lustrous earlobes, delicate neck and slender fingers were the latest “Treasure” collection of the Tang Group’s jewelry line. Each pearl looked sleek and glossy, embellished with a unique design, making the person shine before their eyes.

Yu Ru Bing was calm in front of the camera, blooming without concealing any of her own and the jewelry’s beauty at the moment.

A delicate and alluring rose blooming proudly in front of everyone’s eyes.

……

The shooting went well, and the discussion regarding the resources also went smoothly, then after confirming about each and every matter, Jiang Ying Yao happily agreed.

Before she left, Jiang Ying Yao said to her: “With Xiao Qiu around, Hua Yao would definitely get better and better.”

Tang Han Qiu was a leader who was both sufficiently outstanding and strove hard enough.

Tang Han Qiu responded with a smile: “Then I will borrow Madam Chairman’s words of blessing.”

Jiang Ying Yao paused, clicked her tongue and said, “To be honest, this title sounds like I am weirdly old.”

This was her husband’s fault for working so hard, he became the chairman so quickly, she didn’t even have time to enjoy the title of “Madam President”.

Tang Han Qiu smiled and said, “Are you blaming Little Chairman Tang for working hard?”

Jiang Ying Yao nodded: “Yes, it’s his problem, I will educate him when I return tonight.”

……

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Hua Yao’s audition completely ended, and the final result would become available two days later.

After the audition was over, He Xian Yu specially came to find Tang Han Qiu.

Yu Ru Bing had returned to Ziyu Mansion first, mainly because He Xian Yu was in Hua Yao, and she couldn’t brazenly hang unto Tang Han Qiu, so she had to reluctantly go home first.

Tang Han Qiu glanced at the famous Film Empress across her, and asked, “Miss He what can I do for you?”

He Xian Yu sized her up silently for a long time, and came to a conclusion— Tang Han Qiu’s face was indeed impeccable.

Tang Han Qiu not relying on her face to eat was truly merciful.

After hearing Tang Han Qiu’s question, He Xian Yu curled her eyes into a smile, and said, “Yu Ru Bing is a talented artist with great potential, I want to mentor her, President Tang should have no objections, right?”

A Film Empress speaking about wanting to guide, for what reason could the other person refuse?

Tang Han Qiu smiled and said, “Miss He is willing to teach, my Hua Yao eagerly welcomes it.”

He Xian Yu looked at her again for a while, then said, “There is one more thing I want to ask President Tang.”

Tang Han Qiu: “En?” Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

All of a sudden, she saw He Xian Yu stand up, walked around the desk, and suddenly approached her, with one of her hands on the desk, she condescendingly looked at her _(THQ) who’s face remained calm, her _(HXY) eyes was full of seductive charm.

“President Tang, have you ever thought of…” she slowly said, “Trying the taste of a woman?”

Tang Han Qiu slightly narrowed her eyes and pointed at the door: “Miss He do you see that door?”

He Xian Yu glanced at the door: “What’s the matter?”

Tang Han Qiu: “Get out.”

He Xian Yu: “…”

What a heartless woman!

Is it because I don’t look good enough???

============================

The author has something to say:

He Xian Yu: Yu Ru Bing, your romance is a bit difficult! President Tang is truly a bit heartless!

Troll Yu: …

The best way to break inside the enemy camp is to become the enemy’s friend!

Troll Yu: Yes, I think so too! Pl ease re ad at Yu ri Trans lations

President Tang: … It better be.

He Xian Yu, the Film Empress who wants to help Troll Yu’s acting career and worries about her major lifelong affair, turns out to be a single and very idle Film Empress.

What’s the matter with all of you, why do you always want to help me arrange new weird ideas??? If you want me to write that the Film Empress is a salted fish, then I will definitely make something showy and make a real salted fish for me to let you all dock in!
