My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early

Chapter 429: 429: Blooming like a Flaming Flower, Luo Xiaolang Is Becoming More Beautiful in Peaceful Silence! (First update)

Yin Qin steps out and leaves in his car.

This is probably the earliest he’s left work in the past few days. There are still many things left to do, but at this moment, he doesn’t feel like going back.

He’ll deal with the pending matters tomorrow.

He sits in the back seat, leaning against the chair.

Wu Meili is seated in the passenger seat, and the driver is steadily steering the vehicle.

The car moves smoothly.

Before long, Yin Qin has drifted off to sleep.

When they arrive at the Yin Family villa, Yin Qin is still asleep.

Wu Meili calls his name.

Yin slowly opens his eyes, his voice still holding a hint of sleepiness, “Have we arrived?”

“Chairman, we’ve arrived at your home,” Wu Meili respectfully says.

Yin Qin nods slightly.

He opens the car door and steps out, “Thank you for your efforts, drive safely.”

“Yes.”

Yin Qin enters the villa.

Wu Meili watches the chairman’s retreating figure.

Who would’ve thought this carefree and irregular man, who used to show little interest in serious work, would now be working so hard for his own business.

She always thought him tireless, energetic at all times. She would have thought this was a sudden whim, had she not seen him just now, falling asleep as soon as he rested his head against the chair.

Now, she truly realizes her chairman is working hard. She has even begun to admire him.

However, Yin Qin doesn’t really care about other people’s opinions of him.

If he did, he wouldn’t have spent his life following Ji Baijian.

Under the strong charm of Ji Baijian, he had long been reduced to dust. He found no need to seek self-abasement in front of him.

In essence, he is a casual and content man, a trait he shares with his mother.

Actually, he shares quite a few invisible traits with his mother.

Like... being in love with someone.

Being persistent in loving someone.

Only, he’s better at expressing these feelings than his mother.

Bottom line, his mother has always loved his father. She still does and always has over the years. Otherwise... how could she possibly stay with a man for so long? Otherwise... how could they remain together for years with no affection between them? Otherwise... why would she forgive so quickly?

As he enters the hall, he sees his father clinging to his mother. They are excessively affectionate.

His mother looks impatient, yet he has noticed her smiling whenever his father turns away. When she smiles, she looks... very happy.

A smile full of emotion cannot be faked.

Miss Qin from his family just values her reputation too much.

When Yin Qin appears in the hall, everyone is somewhat surprised.

They’re not used to him coming home late, and now they’re not used to him coming home early.

He always felt like a redundant existence, no matter what he did.

“Why are you back so early?” Qin Keqin asks bluntly.

“Can’t I take a break? What if I just dropped dead, would you be upset?” Yin Qin retorts irritably.

“Not necessarily,” chimes in Yin Bin.

Yin Qin looks visibly upset.

“What nonsense are you talking?” Qin Keqin shot back, feigning indifference, “When have I ever waited for him?!”

Women always say one thing but mean another.

For some reason, she felt that Luo Xiaolang was even better.

Luo Xiaolang was open about everything, no secrets between them.

How had someone as pure as her crossed paths with him?

He had always thought that even if he didn’t love her, he had to take good care of Luo Xiaolang, to treat her well for the rest of his life.

But...

Life was full of unpredictability.

In the time that followed...

Yin Qin was busier than ever again.

He hardly made it home before 8 pm – usually, it was past 11 pm, sometimes even later.

That night was bound to be another late one at work.

Yin Qin had handled all the company affairs.

He and his team had painstakingly checked over all the tasks previously assigned.

Tomorrow they had to discuss the specifics of the program.

With time so tight, he barely had a moment to rest.

When he finally returned home, it was past one in the morning.

Luo Xiaolang would always wait for him.

She used to seem rough and rugged, but now looking at her coiled up on the bed on her phone, she didn’t look large or imposing at all, but rather delicate.

Luo Xiaolang still prepared his bath water, massaged his shoulders and neck before sleep, and then cuddled into his arms after he had fallen asleep. She would kiss him and accompany him.

The next morning, Yin Qin left early.

When he left, he would kiss Luo Xiaolang.

It seemed to have become a habit for both of them.

Yin Qin arrived at the office.

Wu Meili now had his arrival times down pat.

When their chairman was disciplined, it could be quite daunting.

So, by timing it right, Wu Meili could have a cup of black coffee ready for him two minutes before he arrived – mainly to help him wake up, as getting up so early left him a bit groggy.

Yin Qin finished his black coffee.

He called to Wu Meili, “Notify the director and actors of the ‘Hall of Heaven’ program. The director is to see me at 11 am, and auditioning actors are to come at 3 pm.”

“Yes.” Wu Meili wouldn’t doubt her chairman now.

From his actions lately, when the chairman did anything, he did it seriously and thoughtfully.

In the past five days, he had handled several issues within the Milky Way, including his sovereignty, compensations, and sponsorships. Now, he was focusing fully on the details of the ‘Hall of Heaven’ program.

He had a long checklist but no traditional PowerPoint to present. He disliked doing things in a rote fashion but was worried about forgetting anything – that’s why he needed this list.

It was now 11 am.

The chief director of ‘Hall of Heaven’ Wu Wen, along with two assistant directors and two writers, showed up at Yin Qin’s office.

Yin Qin cut to the chase, “As you all know, I plan to revamp the ‘Hall of Heaven’ program. First, we address the competition format. The current one was designed for internal presets. Let me be clear: There is no more internal designation. Everyone has to earn their role through real talent. Therefore, every segment has to be redeveloped. This is the competition process my planning team has come up with by referencing some successful foreign models and local audience preferences. I want you to refine and arrange it. Quite simply, my philosophy is: it has to be honest, intense, and impactful.”

Wu Wen was somewhat impatient, “The previous director explicitly told me that this program was a show, not a real casting. He asked me to prop up new stars. Now with only five episodes left, you expect me to overturn everything and start anew in a week? What if it isn’t done well? I’ll be cutting my own throat! Chairman Yin, don’t you consider other people’s feelings when you do things?”

Clearly...

He’s very resistant!
