After getting in the car, Ye Qingning looked at the egret greeting her outside the car window and said goodbye to her with a smile.
As soon as the car started moving, the smile on Ye Qingning's lips dropped. She sighed softly, as if she was worried about something.
"Are you worried about Egret?" Han Qingqiu asked.
"She is too pessimistic. It is easy to blame herself and cause internal friction. I am afraid that this incident will cause her to lose the self-confidence she has finally built up."
"She is already an adult. If she can't look away, she is not suitable for this job." Han Qingqiu's tone was light, as if he was just discussing what to eat for dinner today with Ye Qingning.
Ye Qingning knew that Han Qingqiu's words were reasonable and did not refute them.
"It's a good thing that you can quickly receive other people's emotions, but if you get too caught up in other people's emotions, you'll lose more than you gain." Han Qingqiu rubbed her head.
Ye Qingning understood what Han Qingqiu meant. She stopped talking and looked out the window in deep thought.
"Don't think too much." Han Qingqiu told Ye Qingning when he got out of the car.
"I know." Ye Qingning smiled at him.
In fact, there was no time for her to think too much.
As soon as Ye Qingning returned to Ye's house, he locked himself in the practice room. Because her family already knew her identity as Q, Ye Qi built a new recording studio for her and added a lot of equipment to facilitate her creation.
As per the old rules, Ye Lin provided the money and Ye Ke was responsible for upgrading the system.
Ye Qingning, whose thoughts were a little messy, sat in front of the piano and played some random melodies. When the messy melody slowly becomes calm and harmonious, it means that Ye Qingning has entered a creative state.
After writing the last note, Ye Qingning stretched. He relaxed his body and his stomach started to grow. Ye Qingning looked at the time and realized it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.
Ye An and Ye Ke both went to training on the weekend, so naturally no one came to supervise Ye Qingning's three meals.
Ye Qingning took a picture of the music score to the group, and Han Qingqiu and Qi Le burst into laughter almost instantly. Ye Qingning drank some water to cushion his stomach, sat back and started a new round of revisions.
The next day, Ye Qingning put the printed score on his desk.
Her skin is white and the dark circles under her eyes are particularly noticeable.
"You haven't slept all night?" Han Qingqiu seemed to have expected it and placed a cup of coffee in front of her.
"This song is amazing. Did you really write it in one night? Wasn't it a draft before?" Qi Le saw it yesterday and was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
"Yeah." Ye Qingning was very calm. She was reluctant to hit Qi Le because the last song only took less than two hours.
"Okay, then the rest is for me to write the lyrics. This will take two days, is it enough time?"
"As soon as possible. By the way, I'll leave the lawsuit to you." Qi Le looked at Ye Qingning, who nodded.
"Then I have nothing to do here, so I'll leave first." Ye Qingning drank the last sip of coffee. She rarely drank this kind of thing, it was too bitter for her. Now that it's bottomed out, it's enough to show how sleepy she is now.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Egret, give me a gift."
“……”
"Egret!" Qi Le frowned, and the egret stood up after realizing it.
"Okay...ok."
Ye Qingning glanced at her worriedly, but didn't say anything after all. Some things can only be solved by yourself.
After saying goodbye to the egret, Ye Qingning went to Thorns. She hasn't been here since the Ye Qi incident ended. Come back now, everything is still the same, as if those things never happened.
They were still the same people. When Ye Qingning passed by them, they all greeted her without exception, and Ye Qingning responded one by one.
Upstairs, Ji Huaiyu and Ye Qi were both there.
"How's it going over there with Jia Wei?"
"It went very well. He has already started meeting with the people behind the scenes and gave him air tickets and money. Now they probably think that Jia Wei has successfully gone abroad."
"Can we close the net?" Ye Qi tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers.
"Not yet."
"Why?" Compared to Ji Huaiyu's calmness, Ye Qi was much more anxious.
"Both Ye Lin and I have fallen into the trap. You can't defend yourself at all. Aren't you afraid that Ning Ning will be his next target?"
"The evidence is not enough, even if we find him out, it will be useless."
Ji Huaiyu was right, and Ye Qi knew that he was too anxious. As the eldest brother, he couldn't protect his family, which made him a little anxious.
"Then what to do next?"
Just as Ji Huaiyu was about to speak, there was a knock on the office door. The two looked at each other and said, "Come in."
"Brother!" Ye Qingning raised his head. "Brother Huaiyu, why are you here too?"
"Why are you here?" Ji Huaiyu patted the empty seat next to him and motioned for Ye Qingning to sit over.
"Stay up late?"
"Obviously?" Ye Qingning's eyes widened, "Isn't it ugly?"
She pouted, looking aggrieved.
"No." Ji Huaiyu rubbed her head.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?" Ye Qi poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Ye Qingning.
"I have something to do here this time." Ye Qingning was the first to get into the topic.
"What about Han Qingqiu?" Because of the relationship with the Chen family, Ye Qi was naturally more concerned about Han Qingqiu.
Ye Qingning nodded and explained the matter to the two of them from beginning to end.
"Do you think there are people behind this thing too?"
"Why do you say that?" Ji Huaiyu hooked her hair with his fingers.
"As Ms. Liang said, with Big Brother's legal team, they will definitely lose the lawsuit. But despite this, they still stole it and published it. Why would they spend so much time doing something that would fail? "
"What if the person who sold the audio source to the other company might not have told them that it was stolen?" Ji Huaiyu asked rhetorically.
"That's where the suspicion lies!" Ye Qingning bit his lower lip.
"If the other party didn't tell him, then they should have sent this song to a popular or promoted singer in their company to sing, but they just gave this opportunity to a little idol who has become famous. It's like Treat him as a flag and plan to squeeze out the last drop of his value."
"But why did the man behind the scenes do this? What good does it do to him?" Ye Qi asked.
"He is targeting our Ye family. Although you are also involved in this matter, Han Qingqiu is still in charge. Everyone may be hurt by this incident, but you can stay out of it. In this matter... the people behind the scenes intervened. It’s unlikely. Unless…”
"Unless he also wants to bring down the Chen family?" Ye Qingning picked up the second half of Ye Qi's sentence.
"Yes!" Ye Qi gave Ye Qingning an appreciative look. Ji Huaiyu also laughed and rubbed her head.
"But, the Chen family is a literary family, who would regard them as a thorn in their side?" Ye Qingning's little face wrinkled, looking very distressed and confused.
"So, there may be someone else involved in this matter."
Ye Qi's words made Ye Qingning frown even more tightly.
"Okay, I will arrange the lawyer's matters. Don't think too much. There may be a spy inside Huanyin Entertainment. No one can say for sure what happens in the mall."
Ye Qingning pursed her lips and nodded.
"Let's go, I'll take you back. The dark circles under your eyes are as big as those of a panda."
"No, I'll just go back by myself. Aren't you two still talking about things? I won't disturb you."
"Let me know when we get home." Ji Huaiyu didn't force it. If he insisted on sending her back, the little guy would have to think about it later.
Ye Qingning picked up his things, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked out of the office. As soon as they left, the smiles on the two men's faces disappeared instantly.
"What do you think?" Ye Qi looked at Ji Huaiyu and raised his head slightly.
"Something strange."
Ye Qi said nothing, obviously having the same idea as Ji Huaiyu.
"You should settle Han Qingqiu's matter first, and I will do the rest."
Ye Qi raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.
