Chapter 339: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
By the time Yun Qing came to his senses, he had already devoured almost all the dishes on the table.
Yun Qing: ...
She turned to look at Assistant Lin beside her, her eyes full of inquiry: "Is your CEO He suffering from some kind of 'can't get enough to eat' disease? He just finished a meal, how can he still eat so much?"
Lin Xu kept his eyes down, pretending not to see her gaze. He couldn't very well say that the meal they had just eaten might have been eaten by some wandering ghost, could he?
He Chengyi seemed to have finished eating and stopped talking during the meal. He suddenly asked, "Miss Song, if you suddenly become famous, will you feel troubled?"
Yun Qing's gaze naturally shifted to him, somewhat puzzled. Why was he suddenly asking this?
Does she look like she's about to suddenly become a sensation?
Finally, she felt that He Chengyi had eaten her food and felt bad about not saying a word, so she prepared to engage in awkward small talk.
She politely replied, "There's nothing to worry about. If I were afraid of becoming famous, I wouldn't have come to the entertainment industry."
She just doesn't care much about being famous.
He Cheng nodded, unsurprised. "That's good."
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
The way you're acting makes me think I'm going to become an internet sensation tomorrow.
He Chengyi ordered two more dishes, but he didn't devour them like before, nor did he say anything. He just occasionally picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and ate a little with them.
Only after Yun Qing had finished eating did he speak again: "Miss Song, do you know about the little star named Wen Yu who caused my car accident?"
Yun Qing raised an eyebrow, glanced at him, and asked, "What? Mr. He, are you going to get revenge on her?"
She wondered to herself, could it be that He Chengyi suddenly brought this up because he knew she disliked Wen Yu and wanted to use her as a pawn?
She was in the wrong before, so she took the initiative to apologize. Now that they've had a meal together and the grudge has been settled, she's not going to be that foolish.
But it's unlikely. If He Chengyi wanted to take revenge on a nobody with no connections, wouldn't it be easy? There's no need for such a roundabout approach.
He Chengyi's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before he said, "I just want to say that I really dislike her. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If Miss Song encounters any trouble in dealing with her in the future, you can come to me."
The matchmaking system kept saying that he and Wen Yu were a match made in heaven. He was rebellious by nature and should have taken advantage of the two families' intention to arrange a marriage and dragged Song Yunqing to get married.
Tell that neurotic system that its so-called good match, its destined match, is a joke!
But in the end, he didn't do it; there was no need to drag the innocent Song Yunqing into the mess.
Besides, he doesn't even like him.
He's definitely not a likable person.
Yun Qing wanted to say that it was unnecessary. If there was any trouble, wouldn't it be better to ask my sister?
But seeing the gloom in He Chengyi's eyes, she said, "Okay."
She regretted it as soon as she said it; they had agreed to never see each other again.
After thinking about it, I decided against it. I had promised, but I don't necessarily have to go through with it.
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, then handed He Chengyi's phone to him, saying in a low voice, "I haven't touched it."
When Wen Yu woke up in the hospital, Lin Xu felt something was off. To be on the safe side, he didn't give her his phone, which was such an important item.
After getting the phone, He Chengyi first disabled fingerprint and facial recognition, replacing them with password unlock. He also warned the system, "If you dare tell Wen Yu the password, I'll publicly say I hate her."
The threatened system said, sounding aggrieved, "I won't tell her."
He Chengyi then handed his phone to Yun Qing, "Miss Song, let's add each other as friends."
Lin Xu: I knew it...
He has been by President He's side for several years and knows him quite well.
Despite being the head of the He Group, a wealthy, powerful, and capable man who seems like an enviable winner in life, President He actually has a very problematic mindset.
How should I put it? It's like there's nothing in this world that he cares about or is attached to; everything is dispensable to him.
He does something simply because it should be done, not because he wants to do it.
When President He suddenly said he wanted to promote Miss Song, he hadn't thought too much about it. After all, President He had specifically mentioned Wen Yu, which seemed more like a target for Wen Yu.
However, his dinner with Miss Song is somewhat intriguing.
It's worth noting that President He would never engage in such unnecessary social interactions.
He felt that President He treated Miss Song very differently.
Lin Xu was pleased with this outcome.
If President He could truly blossom like an iron tree, then he wouldn't always have to worry about whether he would suddenly feel bored and leave this world without any regrets.
Where will he find such a good boss who makes sure the horse eats grass before it runs?
That would be a loss for all of He's employees.
From a purely personal perspective, he also hopes that President He is doing well.
Yun Qing looked at the phone handed to her, and hastily scanned it. Surprisingly, she became friends with someone she had originally planned to never see again.
Yun Qing: ...
She stared at her phone screen in silence for a while, then tapped the screen hard and added two words to He Chengyi's contact information: "Hehe".
Suddenly, He Chengyi's voice came from beside her, "It seems that Miss Song is very happy to become friends with me."
Yun Qing quickly put her phone away, only then realizing that He Chengyi hadn't distanced himself from her after leaning in.
So, right under her nose, she set up such a sarcastic nickname for her.
Yun Qing: !!!
He Chengyi looked at her, his tone unreadable, and said, "I'm happy too."
Then he had Yunqing look at him and added two words to her contact information—"Haha".
He added, "Not bad, those two words look like they're making me happy."
Yun Qing: ...You're not satisfied with just getting revenge on me, are you? Now you're telling me you're happy, huh!
Yun Qing felt he deserved a beating, but since she was the one who started it, she couldn't justify denouncing him.
Just as Yun Qing appeared aloof and elegant on the surface, but was inwardly frustrated and annoyed, He Chengyi thought of something and said to her, "You should also leave Lin Xu's phone number."
“I’ve run into some trouble lately, and sometimes I might not be myself. If you can’t find me, call Lin Xu.”
"If I suddenly act like a lunatic and treat you terribly, please forgive me. You can even yell back or hit me back on the spot. I should thank you."
The Matchmaker System is going crazy! [Aaaaaaah! Host! How could you be such a blabbermouth! You told everyone such a secret!]
[It's one thing if Lin Xu is someone you trust, but you even told an outsider like Song Yunqing?!]
He Chengyi scoffed: "What outsider? We're already friends."
Be quiet and stop bothering me, or I'll get so frustrated I'll want to die.
The Matchmaker System was so angry that it cried loudly. After crying twice, it quickly swallowed its sobs, afraid that He Chengyi would really die right then and there.
Having a host like this really makes the system feel hopeless.
Lin Xu didn't expect He Chengyi to say these things to Yun Qing. Wasn't he afraid that if the Song family knew this secret, it would be detrimental to the He family?
Oh, right, President He doesn't seem to care much about or have much attachment to the He Group.
However, it is still somewhat surprising that he would do something he shouldn't have, which shows that Miss Song is really different.
After somewhat bewilderedly saving Lin Xu's phone number, Yun Qing slowly looked at He Chengyi and said in disbelief, "You mean, you have a split personality?!"
Seeing He Chengyi nod, Yun Qing instantly felt immense pressure.
No! Is he sick?
Why tell her such a big secret? Are they that close?
