Use Them

Jiang Yingyue felt that she was suddenly hungry now that she was no longer worried about Han Qingshan's mood, and her eyes shone with excitement when she saw that it was sushi.

Sushi was expensive, really expensive. It was something she could not afford very often, but around once a year she would cook it for her family.

But bought sushi from famous restaurants was supposed to be heavenly, so when she saw that Song Liwei came in with sushi, her sorrows were all tossed to the back of her head, and she was excited.

Seeing her happy little face, Han Qingshan could not help but chuckle as he shook his head.

He was in a great mood right now. Not only had he understood that he was quite important in Jiang Yingyue's life, but he had also managed to convince her to live together with him in the future.

Seeing that she was so happy to have sushi, Han Qingshan nodded approvingly to Song Liwei. He bought so many dishes that all three of them could eat together.

Usually, Han Qingshan would not eat while working, he would be fully focused on the task at hand, but when he did eat, he would not usually eat with Song Liwei. However this one time, Song Liwei was invited to dine with them.

Although he was incredibly honored and proud of being allowed to eat with them, he could not help but feel like he would become a massive light bulb and thus he quickly took a package of sushi and said, "I will eat with the secretary," before fleeing the room.

Seeing Jiang Yingyue's perplexed expression, Han Qingshan snickered. Although he had invited Song Liwei to eat with them, he did, in fact, want to spend time alone with Jiang Yingyue.

Now that they were alone, Jiang Yingyue had taken the carrier bag that Song Liwei left behind and went towards the coffee table in front of the sofa.

She quickly started to unpack the food, and the more she looked, the more her eyes shone. She had completely forgotten her previous sadness, and the attitude that Han Qingshan had towards her. All that mattered was the food she could now eat.

Seeing her obsessed little face, Han Qingshan felt that she was the cutest person he had ever seen.

After opening the different boxes, preparing the soy sauce and the wasabi, she called for Han Qingshan, only to notice the infatuated expression on his face.

Seeing it, she was suddenly very aware of her actions, and she was embarrassed by her greed.

"Let's eat," Han Qingshan said when he saw her embarrassed expression, and he sat down on the sofa, gesturing for her to sit next to him.

As she sat down, she found that suddenly Han Qingshan's leg was touching hers, and she felt as if she was electrocuted.

She slowly moved her leg slightly, but Han Qingshan's leg followed, and no matter how much she tried moving it, he followed.

She was, in the beginning, not sure it was done intentionally, but after feeling it happening a few times, she understood that he was intentionally touching her legs with his own.

Jiang Yingyue's face was red like the crimson sky during sunset. She dared not look at Han Qingshan, and quickly took the chopsticks and propped a bit of food into her mouth, trying to pretend that nothing was wrong.

Looking at her flustered expression, Han Qingshan smiled sweetly, and soon, the food was slowly being eaten by the two of them.

Jiang Yingyue was unable to calm down. Her thigh was hot where it was in contact with Han Qingshan's leg. She could not focus on anything, and all her focus was on her leg.

Han Qingshan did not go over the top though. When he finished eating, he slowly stood up and stretched his body before returning to the desk and starting to work once more.

"Keep eating," he told Jiang Yingyue, as he continued working. Jiang Yingyue had been given a few tasks, but nothing special. She finished eating what she could and then started packing the rest down and cleaning the table after use.

When she finished, she took out a laptop she had been given by Han Qingshan and started sorting through information about the exodus of artists from Imperial World.

She found that although the subject had somehow died down, there were still hot searches on Weibo about the artists' escape from Imperial World, and the theories about why they had made such a controversial decision.

"Han Qingshan," Jiang Yingyue suddenly called out, and Han Qingshan lifted his head curiously to see what she wanted to say.

"I see that the theories about the exodus are still ongoing," she began. "Why not use this to our own benefit?"

Han Qingshan had at first not expected much from Jiang Yingyue as an assistant, but she was working seriously, and was constantly thinking up new ideas and plans to help him.

"I think, is it not going to be quite obvious that there will be a war between Imperial World and Starry Sky Entertainment? Why not start a topic stating that these artists broke their contracts with Imperial World and that in the future, Imperial World will not invest in a TV-series, a drama, or a movie these artists feature in?"

"I know that Starry Sky is getting a lot of money, now that they have a new supporter, but money is not everything, it will take them time to be able to fully confront you in the entertainment industry."
