He asked Chi Qingzhou, "Are you still going to see Chi Qingning?"

Chi Qingzhou replied, "Of course. I came to visit the family, so I want to see everyone and make sure we're all well."

Du Huan reluctantly nodded but was still worried that Chi Qingning might be unpleasant toward Chi Qingzhou, so he decided to follow him.

Chi Qingzhou entered the room and placed the fruit basket and flowers on Chi Qingning's bedside. He glanced at Chi Qingning's leg, which was suspended at the foot of the bed, and asked with concern, "Little brother, are you feeling alright?"

Chi Qingning forced a stiff smile. "I'm fine, Second Brother."

Chi Qingzhou sighed. "Your body is too weak. You need to exercise more in the future, understand?"

Chi Qingning nodded. "Got it. I'll have my manager find a coach for me once I'm better."

Hopefully, it would be a martial arts coach who could teach him how to knock certain people down with a single punch.

Chi Qingzhou smiled in satisfaction. "I'm so glad to hear that you're willing to listen."

He glanced at Chi Qingning's foot, which had gone from just a dislocation to now being in a cast for no apparent reason. "The family seems to have had some bad luck lately. Once you're better, you should visit a temple and pray. It'll help ward off the bad luck."

Chi Qingning's face twitched, and after a long pause, he finally said, "Okay, I understand."

Chi Qingzhou was delighted and praised, "You're so well-behaved!"

Chi Qingning gave a dry laugh. "Second Brother, I'm a bit tired. I want to take a nap. You must have work, right? I won't keep you from it."

Chi Qingzhou sincerely responded, "But I don't have any work! Didn't I only have 'Scenery Along the Way' as my job?"

Chi Qingning froze for a moment, unable to respond.

However, Chi Qingzhou was a kind person, so when Chi Qingning said he was tired, he didn't want to disturb him. After reminding him to visit the temple once he felt better, he decided to leave.

Chi Qingning let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly said goodbye to Chi Qingzhou.

Du Huan, seeing how Chi Qingning acted as if he were sending a plague away, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What kind of person was that?!

Chi Qingzhou was so concerned about this adopted brother, and yet, Chi Qingning was nothing but an ungrateful wolf in sheep's clothing!

He walked away in frustration with Chi Qingzhou, leaving Chi Qingning alone on the hospital bed, fuming with anger.

Don't think he didn't see that assistant's eye roll earlier!

Who was really being disrespectful here?!!

If Chi Qingzhou weren't so useless, unable to even deal with Uncle Shuhong, he definitely wouldn't have let this slide!

He angrily shoved the fruit basket on the nightstand aside and closed his eyes, utterly despairing.

Chi Qingzhou's visit to the hospital wasn't particularly fast. It wasn't long after he arrived that paparazzi snapped photos of him and posted them online.

The public, being in a sympathetic mood for Chi Qingzhou, responded warmly to his actions. The paparazzi knew how to leverage this, and their press releases were all worded similarly: "Chi Qingzhou visits family at People's Hospital, showing filial piety and brotherly love."

As expected, everyone was moved by Chi Qingzhou's actions, praising him for "cherishing the family bond that is hard to come by," while also mocking the Chi family for their lack of decency three years ago. They were even worried that Chi Qingzhou might be mistreated during his visit.

Chi Qingzhou didn't pay any attention to the online buzz. After finding his nanny van, he opened the door and saw Guan Xihua on the phone.

"...Alright, alright, we have plenty of time on our side."

Guan Xihua was holding the phone, his face brimming with excitement, his eyes sparkling.

"You want it as soon as possible, ideally this afternoon? Just a moment, let me check the schedule."

He lowered his voice and covered the microphone, asking Chi Qingzhou, "You're done with the visit?"

Chi Qingzhou nodded. "Done."

Guan Xihua smiled even more broadly, releasing the microphone. "This afternoon's schedule is canceled, so we have time. How about three o'clock? No problem, we'll be there on time. Okay, thank you. See you this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Xihua eagerly grabbed Chi Qingzhou's hand. "We've hit the jackpot! Qingzhou, just now, the Zhujing Watch under Song Group contacted me. They saw your livestream and think your image is perfect for their new Frost Blade series. They want you to be their spokesperson! I've already arranged a meeting with them at three this afternoon. Let's hurry up and grab a bite, get ready, and head over to Song Group!"

Guan Xihua had a good network in the industry, but he couldn't exactly be called a very professional agent.

In February of this year, he had just resigned from the TV station, and upon arriving at Yade Media, he was directly switched from a cameraman to an agent. He was handed three new artists, one of which was the recently signed Chi Qingzhou.

The other two artists followed the normal development route—one was from a singing and dancing competition, and the other was a trainee nurtured by the company itself.

Only Chi Qingzhou, upon debut, had to face a turbulent and stormy start, with a particularly strange development path.

Guan Xihua hadn't quite figured out how to handle Chi Qingzhou.

In fact, when he first received the call from the Zhenji Watch company, Guan Xihua was still in disbelief. At times, he wondered if the caller was a scammer, and other times he suspected that a rival agent might be trying to mess with his own artist.

Zhenji Watch was a domestic luxury brand, which had gradually gained international recognition over the past two years. Its "Zhongheng" and "Luoyan" series were particularly loved by many celebrities, with even internationally famous movie stars voluntarily recommending it.

Logically speaking, with Chi Qingzhou's current status, he would have never had the chance to land such a big endorsement.

Guan Xihua cautiously probed the situation several times, and took the opportunity to contact some friends for confirmation, before finally daring to be sure that Zhenji Watch was genuinely interested in discussing an endorsement deal with his artist.

While negotiating with the representative who had contacted him, he kept his eyes on the words "under Song Group" on the Zhenji Watch official website. When he thought about Song Yuanzhi, who was possibly saved by his own artist, he vaguely understood the reason.
