Chapter 28 Do you have manners?!

For a while, the atmosphere was awkward.

The worst part for Song Yunran was that the awkwardness was mixed with a hint of weirdness from the security team.

He saw several security guards trying their best to keep their eyes off him, as if they might accidentally caught a glimpse of the truth about the peach incident at Xicheng Upper Courtyard.

Fortunately, before Xiao Song’s little head exploded, Qin Jing explained: “Sorry, my bad.
It was a misunderstanding.”

What kind of misunderstanding could it be that would lead to a conversation that would involve taking off your pants?

The head security chief was extremely puzzled, but his curiosity was tempered by his professional ethics.
He could only put down the anti-riot weapon in his hand and asked, “Are you …… the man who lives downstairs, Qin Ke? Did you make the call?”

Qin Ke nodded his head.

The expensive monthly maintenance fees charged by the Xicheng Upper Courtyard had long made the security chief develop an unfathomable eyesight.

He remembered that this man, who had just moved into the neighborhood this spring, would sometimes nod politely when he met him downstairs, unlike some of the owners who seemed to not see them at all.

But even so, he didn’t dare to call it a day, because the other person in question was Mr Song, who lived on the top floor and had a garage full of luxury cars.

The security chief asked again, “Are you sure you don’t need our help, Mr Song?”

Song Yunran, who wanted to go into the pit, gritted his teeth and said, “No, no, you should go back.”

“Okay.
Then Mr Qin, you will receive a text message on your phone later, please rate our service this time.”

The security chief greeted his men as they retreated back to the lift and left his closing remarks with a professional smile on his face, “Have a good night and good dreams.”

Song Yunran’s scalp tingled.
For the first time, he felt that the wording of the property center’s staff service was full of sarcasm.

He looked up at the ceiling and began to wonder if he could go downstairs and buy a can of beer and drink it to be reborn again immediately.

Qin Ke glanced at him, “Let’s go, I’ll give you a ride.”

Song Yunran froze, “Where are you taking me?”

Go downstairs and buy a drink?

“Take you to the hospital.” Qin Ke has no choice but to take care of it.

Perhaps it was because of the psychology that it was humiliating to go to the hospital, Song Yunran deliberated for a moment when he took the car keys and chose a relatively low-key white car.

As soon as he arrived at the garage, he refused Qin Ke’s help and slowly moved himself into the passenger seat, and once he sat down, he couldn’t help but grimace.

Qin Ke closed the car door and asked, “Where exactly did you hurt yourself?”

“…… butt.” Song Yunran’s voice was like a mosquito.
He sounded like a social terrorist who didn’t dare to speak out loud.

He was afraid that Qin Ke would laugh at him.
After waiting for a few seconds and not hearing any movement, he carefully raised his eyes and found that the other party’s eyes were sweeping over his body as if it wasn’t there.

Alarm bells went off in Song Yunran’s mind.

“What are you looking at?” He was ashamed and annoyed, “Do you have manners?!”

Qin Ke: “…your seat belt is not fastened.”

He sighed and simply leaned over, hooking his fingers into the seat belt on Song Yunran’s side and pulling it to the other side, helping the frightened Xiao Song fasten it.


When the two bodies were close, Song Yunran subconsciously pressed his body against the back of the chair, stiffening his body and not daring to move at all.
Only his remaining consciousness allowed him to feel his waist side being unintentionally touched by the back of Qin Qin’s hand a few times.

But it was only a very brief moment before the seat belt was fastened and Qin Qin’s figure moved away.

Song Yunran was finally able to breathe freely, but somehow, the smell of clean shower gel lingered in his nose.

It was the smell from Qin Ke’s body.

He pursed his lips and opened the car window a bit to let in the cool evening breeze of the summer night.

The car drove exceptionally smoothly on this journey.

There were not many patients in the hospital tonight, so Song Yunran quickly finished his examination.

The doctor looked at the patient for a while and said, “No tailbone injury, local soft tissue contusion.
Take care and reduce movement, just rest at home for a few days.”

After that, he prescribed some blood circulation and swelling medication, and told him to go out and pay for the medicine.

Song Yunran held the wall and walked slowly.
He felt that he was really miserable.

He had suffered too many physical blows this year, and would have to find a temple to offer prayers some day.

By the time he reached outside the consultation area, Qin Ke was already waiting there.

When he saw him coming out, he asked, “Is it serious?”

“Not too bad.”

Song Yunran didn’t really want to talk about the exact extent of his injuries, but right now he really couldn’t jump around.
After some consideration, he could only ask, “Can you get the medicine for me?”

Qin Ke did not say anything, took the receipt in his hand and went to help.

Looking at the man’s tall back, Song Yunran felt a lot of emotions in his heart.

The fall he took at home wasn’t really that serious, but the main reason he ended up in the hospital was the heavy blow he got from the bar stool.

It was probably because he had fallen so shabbily that He Ziyou helped him up while laughing.
After helping him up, he didn’t know which nerve he had struck, and he actually lay there laughing so hard that he couldn’t stop.

This is a very ungrateful thing to do, he(FZ) didn’t even mention accompanying him to the hospital.

Song Yunran thought about it, and thought, ‘No, with He Ziyou’s IQ of at most three years old, I’m afraid he can’t even write the word hospital.’

In contrast, Qin Ke was at least a human being.

When he returned home again, Song Yunran had already figured out what to do.

He asked Qin Ke, who had helped him into his room, to change into his pajamas and flop onto his bed before calling him in.

“I’ve negotiated the endorsement for you.”

The moment Song Yunran said this, he felt like his life was hanging on Qin Ke, “Ugh, you don’t even know the price I paid for your endorsement.”

Qin Ke asked, “What was it?”

Song Yunran was waiting for these words.


He turned his head and told the story of Bai Waning’s request, and couldn’t help but complain at the end of the story, “It was clearly said that Xinghe was a gift for me, yet she gave me such a big challenge, do you think she doubted my ability?”

Qin Ke was silent when he left.

Song Yunran was restless on the bed, his head rubbing against the pillow, and in just a few minutes, he had rubbed his hair into a fluffy bird’s nest, and he was the kind of person who hadn’t slept properly since he was a child.

But the small, warm yellow light that was left in the room shone on him, making him look inexplicably obedient.

“I don’t think so.” Qin Ke said.

Song Yunran was very disappointed, thinking that Qin Ke could not empathize with him: “You don’t understand.
Don’t look at me like this, I actually still get stressed out because my mum is too good.
If it wasn’t for her, Ning Dong wouldn’t have developed to the scale it is now.”

He couldn’t stop talking once he opened his mouth, “Don’t laugh when I say this, when I was a kid I suspected that my mother wasn’t even human.”

Qin Ke rubbed his brow, he couldn’t take this.

Song Yunran’s face was serious: “I think she is superhuman, not only can she work continuously by herself, but also can push my father to work together.
You know, when they were at their most exaggerated, they didn’t have time to go home for two years in a row, they were either busy at the company every day or on a business trip to go outside Asia to see the so-called travel industry.
And the result was that I learned to talk long words and short speeches at a young age.”

Qin Ke didn’t know exactly where Xiao Song’s long words and short speeches were.

It just occurred to him that if anyone else had been up at night reminiscing about their childhood, he would probably have found an excuse to leave.

But now he sat down on the single sofa opposite the bed and asked, “Aren’t you lonely then?”

Song Yunran nodded: “Of course, sometimes I missed them so much that I would hide under the covers and cry.”

Thinking about this, the sourness from his childhood came back to him and he frowned, “It’s really sad, even though they have hired three nannies, two cooks and a driver to take care of me, I still felt so lonely.”

Qin Ke: “……”

He calmly changed the subject, “But Chairman Bai promised that you can use Ning Dong’s resources as much as you want, which means she still thinks highly of you.”

Song Yunran was puzzled: “The kind of optimism that threatens to deliver me to an alliance by marriage?”

The thought of the possible ending of the marriage alliance, and the thought of He Ziyou saying today that he might be gay, filled his heart with increasing trepidation and anxiety.

“Be sensible, I’ve paid too much for you, so hurry up and express your gratitude.”

When he finished, he winked and hinted wildly.

Qin Ke pretended not to read his hint and spoke slowly after a few seconds of contemplation, “I have an idea that might save you from having to go out and join a marriage.”

Song Yunran froze for a moment, and between lightning and fire, a brainstorm had been concluded.

What did this mean, what did Qin Ke want to help him with?

Today, Qin Ke had nothing but himself.

Wait a minute.

……Qin Ke has nothing but himself!

What if he wants to give his body to the other side and completely cut off the possibility of a marriage?

Song Yunran was shocked: “No! I won’t allow it!”


Regardless of the pain in his body, he leaned forward with difficulty and said seriously, “What do you think about all day long?”

Qin Ke took a deep breath and was tempted to ask, ‘What are you thinking about all day in that pretty head of yours?’

However, Song Yunran was injured, and his(SY) pitiful look made it hard for him(QK) to stimulate him(SY).

So he said directly, “Xiao Song, I’m thinking of how to help you achieve what Chairman Bai asked for.”

This was a matter that Song Yunran had considered on his way back.

When an entertainment company wanted to make money, the two most common ways were to invest in projects and to train artists for a commission.

Xinghe’s advantage lies in Song Yunran himself, who can predict which projects he can invest in and which artists he should promote.
In the long run, it will not be a problem to make money, but the only problem is that the time frame Bai Waning demanded for is too short.

Song Yunran didn’t hold out hope that the situation would be resolved.
“But I warn you, don’t say that you will make a dozen dramas in one go, trying to win with quantity.
Assistant Tang will resign after hearing this.”

Qin Ke asked, “Since you got the right to use Ning Dong’s resources, have you considered developing an IP to form an industrial chain?”

Song Yunran tilted his head to study the matter and then slowly reacted.

His mind was previously limited by his former status as an artist, and his thoughts only revolved around the areas he was familiar with.
However, Qin Ke’s simple words were like a pair of hands clearing away the fog in front of his eyes and broadening his vision.

Seeing that he had come to his senses, Qin Ke stopped there and then.

He only said one last thing before he left, “Don’t worry too much, Chairman Bai might just want to test your strength.”

Song Yunran was inspired by these words to work with unprecedented enthusiasm.

When he woke up the next day, he dragged his bruised body to implement the ideas he had before going to bed last night into a document and sent it to Assistant Tang, asking him to read it and then discuss it with him.

Assistant Tang was quite shocked when he received the email.

He skimmed through it several times and confirmed that the sender was indeed Song Yunran, and his heart couldn’t help but feel a lot of feelings.

When he was first sent over from the group’s headquarters by Mr Song, Assistant Tang was actually resentful, thinking that the senior management had questioned his ability to do his job and found an excuse to send him to the frontier.

After all, Mr Song’s son was an unreliable young master, no matter how you looked at it.

After shouting for so long that he wanted to be a star, he then turned around and said he wanted to start a company, and it was an entertainment company that had nothing to do with the group’s main business.

Anyone who looked at him would have thought that this young master must have been on a whim and that he would have wiped out the company in a matter of days.

But who would have guessed that, by the time half a year had passed, not only had Xinghe not closed down, but it was on the rise.

He didn’t dare to delay and finished reading the documents in one breath, and seeing that it was already past his shift, he simply stayed and volunteered to work overtime.

He had a hasty dinner, organized his thoughts and then placed a video call to Song Yunran.

Song Yunran had been lying on his back for most of the day, and had just gotten up and sat down on the soft sofa.

He clicked on the video and said, “Isn’t my idea great?”

Assistant Tang was about to reply when he suddenly realized that there was something awkward about Mr.
Song’s sitting posture.

“You didn’t come to the office today, are you not feeling well?” He said cautiously, “Did you go to the hospital for a check-up?”


Song Yunran said, “I went there last night with Qin Ke, so stop nagging and get down to business.”

This sentence had too much information.

‘Last night with Qin Ke’ was enough to make people imagine, not to mention the eerie energy coming out of Song Yunran’s sitting position.
It was so frightening that Assistant Tang’s brain nearly crashed on the spot.

Despite the immense stress, he tried to get back to work and cleared his throat, “I’ve compared the company’s three current film and television projects, and I think the one with the most potential for IP development is Zhong Xiaofeng’s second script, “The Legend of Nan Hua.”

Song Yunran: “It’s the same as I thought.”

Unlike the urban workplace drama ‘After Meeting You.’ Zhong Xiaofeng’s second script is a thorough old-fashioned drama with a strong potential for IP development.

It tells the story of the female protagonist Nan Hua, who comes from a business family, and how she holds up her family business to become a wealthy businesswoman of her generation after her father and brother are killed.
Although Nan Hua’s situation seems quite miserable at the beginning, Zhong Xiaofeng uses a brisk pace and witty writing style to shape her career line into an extraordinary comeback drama.

In his last life, ‘the Legend of Nan Hua’ hit the video platform in the form of a cultured drama.

After the web drama was broadcast, many old scholars lashed out at it, listing out the unreasonable details one by one and criticising Zhong Xiaofeng as a poisonous tumor that misled the audience.

But the more they complain, the more excited the audience are to watch.

After all, everyone has already accumulated enough stress in real life.
Who wouldn’t want to lie on the sofa after work and watch some light-hearted, fast-paced drama for fun?

One day there’s a domineering prince, the next a loyal guard, and the next day there might be a charming and affectionate gentleman.

Later on, some people even jokingly said that this is simply “Nan Hua 101”, which has everything you want.

With the added benefit of these two factors, ‘The Legend of Nan Hua’ has justifiably garnered hundreds of millions of hits, making it not only the biggest winner in the web drama world that year, but it also successfully sold the broadcast rights to three TV stations after the webcast ended.

If we have to talk about why people are dissatisfied, it’s that viewers have their own favored characters, and when they see the grand finale, they find out that Nan Hua failed to make it with all the male supporting characters.
They are so sad that they become like a pick’s love bean who didn’t succeed in making a debut.
They wish to arrest Zhong Xiaofeng and force him to change the ending.

But in this life, Song Yunran thought of a way to make up for everyone’s regret.

He wasn’t going to interfere with Zhong Xiaofeng’s line of thinking and film the drama how it should be done, but Xinghe could use another way to make the audience’s love for those male supporting characters be fulfilled.

“It’s good to launch a game simultaneously and let people freely choose their favorite character cheats.” Assistant Tang said hesitantly, “But Xiao Song, Xinghe doesn’t have the strength to develop games.”

Song Yunran curved his lips, “It doesn’t matter, if Xinghe doesn’t have it, Ning Dong will.”

The smile on his face was very pleasant, “Moreover, the launch of the game is only one of the aspects, there are other peripheral developments that can be developed with the help of Ning Dong.”

Assistant Tang thought to himself that Xiao Song was getting better and better at pulling the wool out of his family.

He couldn’t help but be curious, “Did Qin Ke suggest Xiao Song to develop the IP industry chain? ”

“Not at all.” Song Yunran said, “It was only last night when Qin Ke reminded me that I had thought of it.”

Assistant Tang silently shut his mouth.

There is nothing else to say, just that I thought you two were ……

The two of you were busy.
