Chapter 561: 547、Everyone Gets Their Share of Rain and Dew (1)_1 Chapter 561: 547、Everyone Gets Their Share of Rain and Dew (1)_1 Among them, Bai Jue is the one who despises being bound by love the most. He prefers his own unrestricted freedom. For Mingyan, who has feelings for him, it might be a path fraught with more thorns.
Zhan Mingyan let her gaze fall, complex emotions filling her eyes.
During their time on Solak Island, she realized that Jian Qing and Bai Jue belonged to a different world. They were too mysterious, making her feel that she didn’t belong in their realm. They were too distant and elusive, making her feel that it was all unreal.
Still, she couldn’t help but fall for him.
Ever since the day she received the apple he’d thrown her way, she knew she had fallen for him.
Therefore, regardless of how challenging it was to pursue him, she was determined to try. She didn’t want to retreat without taking the first step.
She took a deep breath, her gaze meeting Jian Qing’s openly, “Jian Qing, can you introduce me to him?”
Jian Qing raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure?”
“Yes.” said Zhan Mingyan, her eyes gleamed decisively, “No matter how hard it is, I’m resolved to pursue him.”
If all else fails, she would go all out until he finds someone he is interested in; she will never back down.
“Right, does he have a girlfriend?” She asked for confirmation.
Jian Qing nodded with a smirk, “Just to remind you, Bai Jue said he plans on remaining a bachelor for the rest of his life.”
Zhan Mingyan casually said, “If he wants to remain a bachelor, I will accompany him no matter what.”
At her comments, Jian Qing couldn’t help but laugh.
She looked in another direction, picked up her mobile phone, and dialed a number.
Zhan Mingyan looked at her in confusion. Just as she was about to speak, Jian Qing signaled her to keep quiet.
After two rings, a man’s raspy voice came through the phone.
“Jian Qing!”
Jian Qing quickly pressed the speakerphone button. Zhan Mingyan, listening to the familiar voice, felt her heartbeat speed up.
“Jian Qing, can you please stop interrupting my sleep?”
Each one of them seems to enjoy disrupting his peaceful dreams.
“Bai Jue, where have you been lately?” Jian Qing asked calmly.
“Why are you asking about my whereabouts? Don’t tell me you’re planning something against me again?” A warning bell sounded in Bai Jue’s mind, instantly clearing his sleepiness.
“Do you think you’re being overly suspicious lately?” Jian Qing remarked.
“That’s all because you keep messing around with me. Last night, I took Jian Luo to the nightclub but we got beaten up by Black Jack. I need to rest and recuperate for a while. Go mess with Black Jack if you have nothing better to do, don’t mess with me,” said Bai Jue.
“You took Jian Luo to the nightclub?” Jian Qing glanced at Zhan Mingyan before calmly asking, “Are you itching for a fight lately?”
“Black Jack is overpowering and stingy. I took Jian Luo to the nightclub and before I could even get close to any woman, he acted as if he was going to kill me,” complained Bai Jue desperately.
From the corner of her eye, Zhan Mingyan caught the word “woman”, a hint of jealousy stirred within her.
Damn Peacock Man, philandering carrot.
As Jian Qing saw the slight dimming of Zhan Mingyan’s eyes, she said helplessly, “Can’t you just stay away from those places?”
Moreover, he got Jian Luo involved. That really was asking for a beating.
“Don’t you know? I have three thousand beauties in my harem, all of whom require equal attention,” Bai Jue responded with a carefree laugh.
Before he could finish, Jian Qing felt the cold air intensify around Zhan Mingyan.
Zhan Mingyan gritted her teeth furiously.
Equal attention?
Damn you, Bai Jue. You’d better not let me see you, otherwise I will make sure you experience what is called ‘equal nosebleeds.’
“By the way, Jian Qing, I forgot to tell you something,” Bai Jue’s voice rang out again, “In a little while, there will be a car race here, it’s the usual place, do you want to come over and play?”
“We’ll decide about the car race later. I’ll go if I have time,” said Jian Qing.
“Please don’t bother me if nothing’s going on. If you have requests, say them after lighting an incense.” With that, Bai Jue hung up the phone in a hurry.
Jian Qing turned off her phone and looked up at Zhan Mingyan, “Are you angry?”
“Why should I be angry? I’m not anyone to him.” Zhan Mingyan replied gloomily, she had no right to be angry.
“That Bai Jue, the Peacock Man, is such a philandering carrot. I hate him.”
Listening to her grumble, Jian Qing chuckled lightly, “Are you thinking of giving up?”
“Who said so.” Zhan Mingyan suddenly became energetic, her eyes glittering with determination, “Even if he is a philandering peacock, I will make sure to pull out all his extravagant feathers.”
“…”
A smirk emerged on Jian Qing’s face as she couldn’t help but think about the upcoming vibrant life of Bai Jue.
“Jian Qing, will you support me?” Zhan Mingyan asked, her eyes filled with hope.
Jian Qing replied, “If I don’t, will you give up?”
She shook her head, “No, I’ve made up my mind on this.”
Just like when she decided to become a military doctor despite her family’s opposition, she was determined to pursue Bai Jue.
“Well, that’s all you need,” Jian Qing laughed.
Zhan Mingyan stretched lazily, “After chatting with you, I feel a lot better, but when I get back, I suppose I have a big fight awaiting me.”
She felt quite melancholic!
“You mean about giving up your job as a military doctor?” Jian Qing asked.
“Yes, actually my mom really hopes that I give up the job of a military doctor. She thinks it’s too hard. It’s just that my grandpa would not be easy to convince. When I first joined the military as a doctor, I made a military order with my grandpa, saying that I would never regret the path I chose. But now I’m giving up,” she said.
Jian Qing replied, “Just ask if you need help.”
Zhan Mingyan beamed, “Yes, if I can’t convince my grandpa, I’ll have to ask you for help. My grandpa has always heard praises about you from my paternal grandfather.”
Jian Qing’s lips curled into a light smile.

Song Corporation
In the meeting room, the atmosphere is heavy and tense.
Song Yi sat at the head of the table, feeling a headache from the chattering of the shareholders on either side.
After a while, he couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped the table in front of him.
“Bang -”
“Enough! Stop arguing.”
His cold shout silenced the many shareholders who looked at him with complex expressions.
“Chairman, our corporation’s stock has fallen to a limit. If you can’t come up with a solution, we may have to sell our stocks,” said one of the shareholders.
As soon as his words came out, other shareholders who were watching started to feel restless.
Since Song Corporation has offended JK International, it was akin to cutting off their own future. Now, with Song Corporation’s stocks hitting rock bottom, internal capital chain problems could arise. When that happens, they, the shareholders, would also suffer great losses.
So, instead of waiting until the stocks in their hands turned into a pile of waste paper, why not sell them off as soon as possible to avoid losing their capital altogether.
