Chapter 109: A Mischief

However, I heard that when you were still in this city before, there had already been some hints between the two of you; it was only that you were not together yet.

Qin Miaoyu’s curiosity was somewhat satisfied, and her mood improved as well.

“Sister Anxin even said today that if she were not married, she would have me arrange her wedding!”

“Mm, your wedding arrangements are very good.”

Though he had not seen Qin Miaoyu in a long time, Lu Qianan had always kept an eye on her. He knew of every wedding she had designed and planned, and he knew what a wedding would look like.

Every time he saw those scenes, he could not help imagining what their wedding would be like if he and Qin Miaoyu held one.

When he came back to himself, he would mock himself for dreaming.

But now, Qin Miaoyu’s attitude had kindled his hope again. Perhaps one day, there would truly be a wedding belonging to him and Qin Miaoyu, so he could openly introduce Qin Miaoyu to everyone as his wife.

But before that, those people who loved to stir up trouble still had to be dealt with properly.

A profit large enough to move him was indeed considerable, but a considerable profit did not necessarily mean an excellent project; it might also have come through improper means.

The former was not something the Li family was likely to produce, but the latter was very possible.

As long as he got the project proposal, he would be able to spot the problem.

After learning from Qin Miaoyu that Lu Qianan was willing to look at his proposal, Li Deyong was thrilled for a while. He knew it; this method would definitely work.

Still, he was surprised that Qin Miaoyu had managed to persuade Lu Qianan so quickly. He felt that he had probably misjudged her before, and in his heart he quietly raised his estimation of Qin Miaoyu.

After finishing with Li Deyong, Qin Miaoyu no longer paid attention to the matter. After all, it had little to do with her in the end, and she already had a heap of troublesome things of her own to deal with.

Though Zhou Zhaolin had much to do with the first deal that fell through, he had no connection at all with the other deal or that strange wedding company.

As for the client of the latter deal, she also did not name anyone else. They could only guess that money had tempted someone, that perhaps upon suddenly discovering a new way to make money, they had succumbed to crooked thoughts.

The studio had already tried contacting that wedding company, but no one answered the phone, so they could only send someone there when the time came to see what was going on.

A few days later, the studio received a package.

The box did not look large, but it was not exactly small either.

No one knew who sent it; on the outside, it simply said it was for the studio.

Qin Miaoyu and the others had previously received gifts of thanks from clients, so they only guessed it was a token from some past customer.

Who would have thought that once the box inside was opened, a terrifying skull spring toy would leap out, and the stack of papers pressed at the top of the box would fly everywhere. Picking one up at random, they found two words written on it in a blood-red scrawl: die!

Pei Yixue, who picked up the paper first, was startled badly. Qin Miaoyu took it and looked it over carefully.

“Don’t worry, it’s just paint on there.”

Pei Yixue patted her chest. “Even if it’s paint, it still looks terrifying. All that blood-red color—who knows what kind of person would make something like this!”

Xu Xiaoqi flipped through the box and found there was also a card inside, on which two more words were written in blood-red ink: revenge.

Pei Yixue was speechless. “What family’s lunatic is this? Revenge, revenge—what revenge? We’re just a tiny studio. How long have we been open, and we already have such frightening ‘enemies’?”

No one could make sense of it.

At first they thought it was merely a prank, but who would have thought that for several days in a row, the office would keep receiving all sorts of things—razor blades, creepy dolls, and the like.

“Call the police. We have to drag this person out, no matter what. Doing this day after day is truly maddening!”

Qin Miaoyu and Xu Xiaoqi thought the same, so they reported it to the police.

When the police came to check the surveillance footage, they found that it really had been delivered by courier, but the address and phone number were both off.

The situation left Qin Miaoyu and the others somewhat helpless. Fortunately, the police said they could still use other methods to find the person.

While that person had not yet been found, the studio kept receiving frightening things, and the last item sent was already a knife.

Fortunately, the police eventually found the person.

“It was a high school student. She said she did it because of an idol she likes.”

“An idol?” Qin Miaoyu and the other two said in unison.

“Yes, a celebrity named Zhou Zhaolin. She said she heard from someone else that he had come to your studio. She couldn’t bear to believe that the celebrity she liked was actually going to get married, so…”

“So she did these threatening things to people? Ridiculous. Her idol came of his own accord, it’s not as though we kidnapped him. And now that it has already fallen through, even if he really were getting married, instead of hating their precious brother, why come after our utterly innocent studio?”

For all their indignation, there was nothing they could really do to the high school student; the other party had not caused any actual harm.

But Pei Yixue did not want to swallow this anger one bit.

“Get in touch with that Zhou Zhaolin or whatever he’s called, and tell him to manage his fans properly. If he refuses to manage them, then give his online presence a little boost!”

The card from Zhou Zhaolin’s studio last time had been thrown away by Qin Miaoyu, so for a while they could not find the studio’s exact number.

Xu Xiaoqi contacted Miss Jin to ask, and though she did not get Zhou Zhaolin’s or the studio’s phone number, she unexpectedly obtained Xiao Qian’s assistant’s number.

It turned out that after Miss Jin broke up with Zhou Zhaolin, she deleted all contact information related to him.

As for Xiao Qian’s assistant’s number, because it had already been blocked before, it had instead been left behind in the blacklist on Miss Jin’s phone by some chance.

When the call connected, a sweet and adorable voice came from the other end.

After hearing the meaning of what was said on this side, the voice instantly turned cool.

“A fan’s personal behavior, we really can’t control that, can we?”

“You may not be able to control it, but you can guide it. You can’t just say you can’t control it without trying anything at all, can you?”

“We’re very busy. Where would we find the time for that? Besides, she’s still only a high school student. I think you should be generous and not leave the poor girl with any psychological trauma!”

Pei Yixue nearly vomited blood at those words. In the end, it was nothing more than an excuse not to offer proper guidance!

When Xiao Qian’s assistant on the other end heard the silence here, she actually smiled.

At first she did not know who was calling, but after hearing the name of the studio, she knew it was Qin Miaoyu’s studio.

The humiliation Qin Miaoyu had given her last time was still fresh in her mind. She had no time to help Qin Miaoyu solve anything here.
