The Little Chef of the Film Emperor's House

Chapter 9 The Cook's Choice

Qiao Zhuyu is on vacation.

After two days of work, she got a week off.

Li Lin didn't even give her time to pack her luggage, so she hurriedly let her go on vacation.

After all, she didn't open Jiang Qi's door that morning, but she had no choice but to call Li Lin when she heard the noise and no one answered no matter how hard she knocked on the door.

"Zhuyu, Xiao Chen and I are going over now, you go home first, you should leave before Xiao Chen and I go over, and I will give you a week off."

Li Lin's voice on the phone was tense and serious, and Qiao Zhuyu could even imagine Li Lin's stern face on the other side of the phone.

She didn't even have a chance to ask why, so Li Lin hung up the phone in a hurry, and there was no chance to ask any more questions.

When Qiao Zhuyu left the villa, the breakfast table was still there.

No one picked her up on a sophomore, she walked for almost an hour before leaving the lake villa area, raised her hand to hail a taxi and went home.

On the second day of the holiday, Qiao Zhuyu ate the fruit that Qiao's mother cut for her on her sofa, and watched TV with Qiao's mother.

Mother Qiao glanced at her carefree daughter who took half a kiwi fruit in one bite. She didn't look like a lady at all. She couldn't help turning her face away and asked, "Are you going to eat at home?"

Qiao Zhuyu was inexplicable: "Where am I getting old? I'm on vacation. Wouldn't it be nice to come back to accompany you and my dad? Or count on my brother, that busy man who may not come back several times a year? "

As soon as the words were finished, there was a sound of opening the door. Qiao Shi put down his bag and said while changing his shoes, "Who said I couldn't come back several times a year?"

Qiao Zhuyu sat up straight suddenly, and said in surprise, "Brother? Why are you back?"

Qiao Shi walked towards the living room, unbuttoned his suit with one hand, and rubbed two hands on Qiao Zhuyu's head with the other, saying, "I just finished a big project and the client was very satisfied, so I gave myself a few days off. , Come back and see your parents."

Qiao's mother frowned and looked at the two who ran home on vacation, and sighed: "It's very nice to say, why look at me and your dad, think I don't know that you came back to be young masters and young ladies, right?"

Qiao Zhuyu and Qiao Shi looked at each other and exchanged a look of starting to act.

Qiao Zhuyu stuck it to Qiao's mother, and the words she said were sticky: "Mom, let me make you your favorite fish ball in milk soup tonight, okay?"

Qiao Shi is a 30-year-old man after all, and he couldn't do such a shameful thing like Qiao Zhuyu. He brewed a cup of Dahongpao and put it in front of Qiao's mother: "Mom, try it. I bought it from a customer. One tael is 6000 yuan."

Qiao's mother glanced at Qiao Shize, picked up the tea bowl and tasted it carefully, her expression suddenly became serious, and then she took another sip, looking as if her hair had been smoothed out, she raised her eyebrows and said, "That customer of yours is interested, so I don't know what to do." Sell ​​you six thousand."

Upon hearing this tone, the Qiao brothers and sisters knew that life would be fine these few days, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao's mother and Qiao's father are both university professors. In the past two years, they have retired and cultivated some small hobbies at home. Qiao's father likes to fish around with a fishing rod and a pony tie. No matter the weather, Qiao's mother pays the most attention to taking care of herself, so she is reluctant to bear the wind and rain Going here, I love tea tasting and studying tea art on weekdays, but it has become such a thing, and now I still have a place in a certain tea association.

After coaxing the most troublesome Lafayette in the family, the brother and sister watched Korean dramas with Qiao's mother, and the living room was full of joy.

During dinner, Father Qiao also came back with two fresh silver carp.

Qiao Zhuyu went into the kitchen to take over, handled the fish carefully, and planned to make fish balls in milk soup at night.

Qiao Shi walked into the kitchen while his parents were in the living room, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and helped Qiao Zhuyu wash the vegetables.

"Hey, social elites are willing to wash their hands and make soup?" Qiao Zhuyu teased her brother by scraping fish scales.

Qiao Shi threw the water drops on Qiao Zhuyu's face: "Young poor."

Qiao Zhuyu didn't even raise her head, and she dodged to the side like a prophet, but Qiao Shi missed it, and stuck out her tongue: "Childish."

"I'm here to tell you something serious," Qiao Shi withdrew his smile, and the iceberg face that Lawyer Qiao usually had at work reappeared in the kitchen, "What's the matter with your job now?"

Qiao Zhuyu stopped holding the knife, and the smile on her face faded a little.

"Didn't I show you the contract, what else do you ask?" Qiao Zhuyu said.

"I remember I told you that the contract was too idealistic, and there is no such thing as pie in the world."

Qiao Zhuyu looked at her brother's indifferent and heartless look, and pouted her mouth coquettishly: "Why are you so fierce, I'm not your client."

Qiao Shi looked at his younger sister who had been in love with her like a flower and jade since she was a child, and her heart softened, and she sighed. After all, she couldn't say anything serious, and said in a soft tone: "I didn't hurt you, I just worried about you , afraid that you will be cheated."

"I know, brother," Qiao Zhuyu said, not in a willful way of being spoiled by others, "If I have something to do, I will definitely tell you, and I won't make you worry."

"Then do you know what's going on with your current boss?" Qiao Shi asked.

"I know, Jiang Qi, a well-known actor." Qiao Zhuyu said.

Qiao Shi nodded: "What else?"

Qiao Zhuyu was dumbfounded, no matter how much she wanted to say, she didn't even have a chance to speak about what she wanted to ask Jiang Qi.

Seeing Qiao Zhuyu's dazed look, Qiao Shi changed the question: "You only worked for two days this time and then took a holiday. Why?"

"I don't know why." Qiao Zhuyu's voice was low, almost inaudible.

"I have helped Xingguang Entertainment handle several cases before, and I am quite familiar with their high-level executives. As far as I know," Qiao Shi deliberately paused, and did not continue until Qiao Zhuyu looked at him, "Jiang Qi There is a serious mental illness."

"Mental illness?" Qiao Zhuyu was stunned.

"I don't know the details. Only a few people in Starlight Entertainment know about this matter. Only his agent knows the clearer details." Qiao Shi said.

Jiang Qi has a mental illness?Why can't she see it these two days?

Jiang Qi in life is a little confused, and he is still so serious at work, who can tell that he has a mental illness?

Could it be that what happened yesterday morning was due to his illness?

A series of questions lingered in Qiao Zhuyu's mind, and she didn't recover until the fish under her hands slapped her face with water.

"Did you collude with this fish to harm me?" Qiao Zhuyu made a gesture to rub against Qiao Shize's clean white shirt.

Qiao Shi didn't hide, and only said after Qiao Zhuyu wiped the water clean: "It smells like fish, wash my clothes."

Qiao Zhuyu didn't pay attention to this threat that wasn't threatening at all.

"Let you two cook a meal, are you still playing in the kitchen?" Mother Qiao's voice suddenly appeared.

The two of them suddenly quickened the movements under their hands, lowered their heads and dared not speak, honestly, there was no sign of a barrister or a big internet celebrity anymore.

Mother Qiao glanced at the guilty two, and went upstairs slowly to change clothes.

When the sound of closing the door was heard upstairs, the two of them gasped for breath.

"Let me tell you," Qiao Shi looked at Qiao Zhuyu, "There must be some ulterior secret behind such a good treatment. The entertainment industry is inherently deep, and I also watched your hot search two days ago. Here it is, here's the lesson."

Qiao Zhuyu listened silently without speaking.

Qiao Shi finally said: "The sooner you leave now, the better. With me at home, you don't need such a high salary to be a big lady with peace of mind."

In the villa area in the center of the lake, Jiang Qi’s room is like a pig’s nest in a mess. The things that shouldn’t be scattered on the ground are all scattered on the ground. It was originally complete but now it’s all in pieces. The morning sun is blocked by thick curtains. Looking at the floor lamp by the bed, Jiang Qi sat with one leg propped up under the halo of yellow light.

Outside the door, Li Lin looked worried, and discussed Jiang Qi's condition with Cheng Shuda, a psychiatrist in a white coat.

"It was fine when I called the night before yesterday. I didn't hear anything wrong. Who knew that Qiao Zhuyu called me at almost noon yesterday, saying that Jiang Qi didn't open the door, and there was something wrong with the movement in the room. I At that time, I realized something was wrong, and let Qiao Zhuyu leave quickly, and when Xiao Chen and I came, Jiang Qi had already passed out, and the things that should be smashed were almost smashed."

Cheng Shuda listened to Li Lin's description, pondered for a few seconds, and asked, "Did anything happen to stimulate him?"

"Only the day before yesterday, he was on the hot search because of his affair with Qiao Zhuyu." Li Lin thought about it, but there was nothing else.

"It should be more than that," Cheng Shuda said, "It is very common for Jiang Qi to be on the hot search. I have done a psychological analysis on him before, and I came to the conclusion that the harm from the outside world to him is minimal. Yes, so the cause of his relapse cannot be those black hot searches."

Li Lin was taken aback: "You mean..."

Cheng Shuda is the same age as Jiang Qi, with good looks, wearing silver-rimmed glasses, full of gentle and scholarly air, but every word he utters cannot be refuted: "It's because of that private chef."

"But, how could this happen? Jiang Qi Mingming will see her video, and he will be much better?"

Cheng Shuda adjusted his glasses and said, "Watching a person through the screen is completely different from the person appearing next to him. When Jiang Qi is watching alone, his consciousness is only devoted to the video. However, when the two of them communicate, Jiang Qi will pay more attention to his own image and the feelings of others, which means that there are more factors affecting Jiang Qi's collapse."

Li Lin listened to such a lot, and accurately extracted the central idea: "When Qiao Zhuyu is by Jiang Qi's side, not only will she not play a soothing role, but will make Jiang Qi more vulnerable?"

Cheng Shuda put his hands in his pockets, nodded and said, "According to the current situation, it is indeed the case."

"What do you mean by the current situation?" Li Lin frowned.

"Another situation is to tell the private chef about Jiang Qi's condition directly, and let her join the treatment process, so as to avoid irritating Jiang Qi, and at the same time consciously comfort him."

"Impossible." Li Lin refused.

Cheng Shuda is not surprised by Li Lin's attitude: "Then the only way to go is to let that private chef leave forever."

Li Lin didn't speak, as if she was thinking about whether there was a better way.

Cheng Shuda waited patiently for a long time before saying: "Actually, it might be a good idea to let that private chef try. Either stay as it is, and Jiang Qi will never recover, or seek a breakthrough. Maybe there is still a chance."

"But..." Li Lin sighed, "Jiang Qi is not an ordinary person. If this matter gets out, the risk is too great. I can't use his life's career to take risks."

"This is Jiang Qi's career, why don't you ask him what he thinks? If he is willing to try?" Cheng Shuda asked.

Li Lin was still hesitating, but it was not an option to persist in such a stalemate. Just when she was about to open the door to ask Jiang Qi for a question, her cell phone rang.

It was Qiao Zhuyu who sent her the message.
