Chapter 582 : Just Like Being Jealous
"Ling Ning, of course I've considered what you said, but if we were to invite Bai Yiyue, our funds would be quite tight," Qin Qing said helplessly, spreading her hands.
Ling Ning chuckled lightly, "How would we know without trying?"
Hearing Ling Ning's words, Qin Qing raised an eyebrow. The way Ling Ning spoke made her feel like she had some sort of plan. After all, given Ling Ning's personality, she wouldn't speak so decisively about something unless she was confident.
As if remembering something, Qin Qing asked curiously, "The way you're talking... Ling Ning, do you... know Bai Yiyue personally!?"
"You could say that~" Ling Ning said with a light laugh.
Hearing Ling Ning's response, Qin Qing looked surprised. She hadn't expected Ling Ning to actually know Bai Yiyue. Perhaps the company could ride on Bai Yiyue's coattails after all~
However, even if they could win over Bai Yiyue, how would they deal with her company? That was another issue. They'd have to see when the time came.
"Let's talk about it at lunch or dinner. She's probably not even awake yet!"
Seeing Qin Qing's expression, Ling Ning knew she was probably thinking of contacting Bai Yiyue right away.
"By the way, Sister Qin Qing, why did you ask me to come to the company so early? Is there something urgent?" Ling Ning asked, puzzled.
Qin Qing nodded, "There was, but not anymore. However, you still have work to do. There are some promotional photos we need you to take later."
"Oh~ Well, if there's nothing urgent, why don't you get some sleep, Sister Qin Qing? It's still early, after all."
"Mm, that's what I was planning~"
As she spoke, Qin Qing yawned and walked to the sofa, lying down directly.
Ling Ning looked at Qin Qing helplessly, then took a blanket from a nearby storage cabinet and covered her. She then found a place to sit down herself.
Having woken up so early today, she decided to rest her eyes for a bit too.
Ling Ning didn't know how much time had passed when she was awakened by a knock on the door.
Opening her still blurry eyes, she instinctively glanced towards Qin Qing. Seeing that she was still sound asleep, Ling Ning quietly got up and went to open the door.
"Boss, I want to tell you about this... Eh!?"
Seeing the door open, Fatty, who was standing outside, was eager to share his new ideas with Qin Qing. However, after just a few words, he realized it was Ling Ning who had opened the door!?
"Brother Fatty, are you looking for Sister Qin Qing? She's sleeping right now. Should I wake her up?" Ling Ning said, rubbing her still drowsy eyes. She had only meant to rest her eyes but ended up falling asleep.
Hearing Ling Ning's words, Fatty waved his hands frantically, "No... no need. It's nothing urgent. But Ling Ning, why are you in the office? I didn't see you when we left work last night~"
"I came in early this morning~ Oh right, I still have work to do~"
Just then, Ling Ning suddenly remembered she had some tasks to complete.
Sighing lightly, she glanced at the still-sleeping Qin Qing, carefully closed the door, and headed off to her workspace.

"Mm!?"
In her sleep, Qin Qing suddenly smelled food. Although reluctant, she slowly opened her eyes to see Ling Ning's ambiguous smile.
Slowly sitting up, Qin Qing asked confusedly, "Ling Ning, how long have I been asleep?"
"It's just lunchtime now. By the way, I've bought lunch for you. Wake up a bit and eat quickly. In this weather, it'll get cold fast if you don't hurry."
"I got it~"
After waking up a bit, Qin Qing sat at the desk and started eating lunch. However, she soon seemed to remember something and looked up at Ling Ning, saying, "Ling Ning, about that......"
Before she could finish, Ling Ning spoke first, "I've already arranged to meet Bai Yiyue in the evening. We can go directly then. The promotional photos have been taken and sent to operations for processing. Brother Fatty was looking for you about a new concept, and Ji Lao had the same reason. Goddess Magazine wants to interview you, and I've agreed on your behalf. Someone from their side will come at 3 PM this afternoon. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Sister Miao Miao. Also......"
Watching Ling Ning speak, a happy smile appeared on Qin Qing's lips. With Ling Ning around, everything was always arranged so orderly. She didn't have to worry about a thing.
Sensing Qin Qing's gaze, Ling Ning blinked and asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing. I just feel very reassured with you around, Ling Ning. Why don't you just drop out of school and come help me at the company~" Qin Qing said with a smile.
"No way~"
Without any hesitation, Ling Ning firmly rejected Qin Qing's invitation. Although she knew she was just killing time at school, attending university was 'Ling Ning's' wish. No matter what, she wouldn't give up on that.
Whatever happened, she was determined to graduate from the university!
"Sigh~" Qin Qing sighed lightly. If Ling Ning wasn't willing, there was nothing she could do.
"Don't worry, Sister Qin Qing. When I'm in my sophomore year, I'll have more time. I should be able to come to the company often then~" Ling Ning reassured her.
"If that's the case, then it's fine~"
After reporting on her work, Ling Ning hesitated slightly before slowly asking, "Sister Qin Qing, I have a question I'd like to ask you~"
"Go ahead. Is there anything you can't tell me?" Qin Qing said nonchalantly.
"It's actually about Ye Ye. You see, Ye Ye is very clingy with me. What should I do?"
"Isn't it normal for children to be clingy? Sirou often clings to me too~"
"It's not like that. How should I put it... I'd say she has a very strong sense of possessiveness. For example, sometimes when my friends help me with something, she even gets angry. It's like... it's like she's jealous." Ling Ning felt her brain wasn't quite functioning properly at the moment.
"Huh!?"
