QWAPMP Chapter 60

Chapter 60 President Male Supporting Character

After a while, Yan Ye put the exercise book back in its original place, put the pen on the desk into the pen holder, and finally picked up the photo frame that he had initially ignored.

The photo frame was empty, there was no photo inside, and it looked strange sitting on the desk. Yan Ye saw it as soon as he entered the door, but he only picked it up to look at it now.

This room probably hadn’t been cleaned for too long. Whether it was the exercise book or the photo frame, as soon as Yan Ye picked it up, his hands were covered in thick dust.

A photo frame without a photo inside, this was truly curious. Who would casually place an empty photo frame on a desk?

Yan Ye’s gaze moved downwards, falling on the drawer. He reached out to open it, and a yellowed, old photo appeared before him.

This was a family photo, a photo of a happy family of three.

It was clearly of great significance, yet someone had put it away.

Yan Ye turned around and called Huosang’s name, “Huosang, can I borrow your phone? I need to look something up.”

Huosang was still looking at models. Hearing this, he walked over and asked expectantly, “Brother Yan, did you find anything?”

Yan Ye shook his head and easily borrowed Huosang’s phone.

Huosang had a very weak sense of caution towards people. When Yan Ye asked, he didn’t ask what he wanted to look up, but directly opened the search interface and handed the phone over. He didn’t watch Yan Ye use it and ran back to look at the models.

Qin Yan didn’t stay with him to look at the models anymore. Seeing Yan Ye take Huosang’s phone, he asked somewhat uncomfortably, “What are you looking up?”

Qin Yan was not shorter than Yan Ye. Standing close, he could see what Yan Ye was looking up on Huosang’s phone when he leaned over.

Yan Ye paused the action of lowering his head after getting the phone. He subtly stepped back, searched for what he needed, and then showed it to Qin Yan for a glance, “Young Master Qin, have you ever met Old Mr. Song?”

Qin Yan looked at him in surprise and shook his head.

What could be found on the phone were some old news articles with photos of Song Mingfeng. Yan Ye looked at them a few more times, then searched for a few keywords and finally found a group photo of Song Mingfeng with his wife and son.

Photos of Song Mingfeng, his wife, and his son were rare. So far, Yan Ye had only found one.

Song Mingfeng in the photo was very young and handsome. Song Yang had inherited Song Mingfeng’s appearance, with a gentle and charming face, except for his eyes, which resembled the beautiful woman in the photo.

Yan Ye couldn’t find any trace of the current Song Yang in the little boy from the photo.

Or perhaps Song Yang had changed too much? Was it because the events of twenty years ago had caused him significant psychological trauma?

Yan Ye didn’t jump to conclusions too quickly. He returned the phone to Huosang and heard Qin Yan say, “I think I met Mr. Song when I was a child.”

Yan Ye became a little interested, “But you don’t seem very familiar with Mr. Song?”

Qin Yan smiled indifferently, “Maybe it was a fleeting encounter, it’s normal not to be familiar.”

It was common for wealthy families to hold banquets, and adults would always bring their children to attend these events. Qin Yan often attended such banquets when he was a child. The more times he went, the more people he met.

Song Yang was the Song family’s child, so perhaps they had met at a banquet.

Just as the two finished talking, Xiao Wen walked in from outside with a smile, “Little Yan, have you found anything here?”

When Qin Yan saw Xiao Wen enter, he turned around and went back to Huosang.

Yan Ye glanced at the cameraman and asked with a smile, “Not yet for now. How about you, Brother Xiao? Have you found anything?”

As soon as Yan Ye finished asking, viewers who had just come from Xiao Wen’s live stream couldn’t sit still.

【Found squat. He just walked in and out, so perfunctory to the viewers, what could he find?】

【I should have known better than to go to Xiao Wen’s live stream, there’s nothing there, he’s just watching the live stream on his phone.】

…There were many such comments. Xiao Wen read a few lines and his expression became very ugly.

“I’m the same as you,” Xiao Wen said.

He deliberately emphasized the last two words, thinking that the viewers would complain about Yan Ye’s live stream, but unexpectedly, it was the opposite.

【No no no, Yan Ye’s live stream is not the same as yours, don’t talk nonsense.】

【Are you blind? Didn’t you hear the meaning in Yan Ye’s words? ‘Not yet for now’ doesn’t mean they haven’t found anything at all!】

There were many similar comments. Xiao Wen took a deep breath, closed the comments, and looked directly at Yan Ye, his smile fake, “Little Yan, if you find anything, remember to tell everyone. Many people together have great power, maybe everyone can help.”

Xiao Wen’s words were interesting. He was almost saying that Yan Ye was deliberately hiding some clues.

Qin Yan heard the conversation here and looked back, “Brother Xiao, if you think Brother Yan found something and is deliberately not saying it, you can watch the live stream replay.”

The three of them were in one live stream room. Didn’t Xiao Wen’s words include all three of them?

Qin Yan’s temper was not particularly good, and he felt there was no need to tolerate Xiao Wen.

Huosang also reacted and said with a chuckle, “I found something.”

Everyone immediately looked at him.

Even the viewers were typing and asking what Huosang had found.

As soon as he entered this room, Huosang was only looking at models. What could he have found?

Yan Ye lowered his head, a light laugh escaping his lips. Sure enough, he heard Huosang say in an envious tone, “I found that all these models are limited editions, I really want them!”

Qin Yan couldn’t bear to look at him, turned around, covered his forehead, and glared fiercely at him.

Forgive him for occasionally having some expectations for this guy’s intelligence.

Xiao Wen’s fake smile could no longer be maintained. He only felt that Huosang was deliberately messing with him.

He Lin, however, was suddenly very composed. She didn’t say a word and stood beside Xiao Wen, her eyes occasionally glancing at Yan Ye.

Huosang spoke again, looking at Yan Ye flatteringly, “Brother Yan, what are we eating tonight?”

He hadn’t eaten in the morning, and it was almost noon now, his stomach was already starting to grumble.

Thinking of last night’s seafood feast, Huosang only felt even hungrier.

Yan Ye said, “Plain congee with soy sauce.”

Huosang’s face fell, “Ah? That miserable? Is there nothing else to eat?”

Qin Yan patted him on the head, “It’s good enough to have something to eat.”

Saying that, he looked back at Yan Ye, “Shall we go down first?”

Yan Ye hummed in agreement, nodded, and followed them downstairs.

The three of them left one after another. Xiao Wen and He Lin behind were completely ignored. The two could only force a smile and shamelessly followed downstairs.

Downstairs, Song Yang was handling a video conference. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming down, he looked up, his gaze immediately locking onto Yan Ye. The expression on his face was hard to guess.

After a while, Xie Jifeng and Yang Fan also came down. Seeing them, Song Yang put away his laptop and said to the director, “I need to talk about something with an artist from my company.”

Since Song Yang said so, the director also understood the meaning behind his words. Didn’t he just want to talk about business without the cameraman following? No problem.

The director immediately told the cameraman not to follow anymore.

Xie Jifeng originally had a smile on his face, but upon hearing Song Yang’s words, he instinctively felt that nothing good would come of it.

He didn’t want Yang Fan to talk to Song Yang alone, but he had no standing now and could only watch the two of them walk out.

Yan Ye subtly observed all of this. When everyone started discussing what to eat for dinner, he quietly went upstairs and watched the two people talking downstairs from the balcony.

The view from the balcony was excellent. With one glance, you could see the scenery outside completely, making it a prime spot for viewing.

Song Yang didn’t know what he was saying, but a patient smile hung on his face. In contrast, Yang Fan’s face was conflicted and indecisive, his eyes cast downwards.

Yan Ye watched with great interest until someone discovered he wasn’t downstairs and came up to call him down. Only then did he leave with the gloomy-faced Xie Jifeng.

Xie Jifeng’s face was so dark it was almost dripping water, clearly anxious.

Yan Ye’s lips curled up slightly. Anxious, that’s good.

Having eaten plain congee with soy sauce, everyone was worried that dinner would also be these two things, so they were eager to go to the beach to get some seafood back.

Yan Ye had no opinion. When Yang Fan returned, he saw everyone had the necessary tools for catching seafood. He asked, “Are you planning to go to the beach?”

Xie Jifeng answered faster than anyone else, “Yes, to find tonight’s dinner!”

Yang Fan had never experienced catching seafood before and was a little curious. He temporarily forgot his little internal conflict and happily went to the beach with everyone.

Song Yang was unhappy about being rejected by Yang Fan for resources for the first time. Although he went with everyone, the expression on his face was as if he was being forced to go.

The director had a bitter expression. He didn’t understand why this person was going. He clearly didn’t have to, and it wasn’t like it was the first day they were here and unfamiliar with the place.

Thinking of the cold look in Mr. Song’s eyes when he said Mr. Song didn’t need to go with them, the director could only curse inwardly while still maintaining a smile on his face.

Upon reaching the beach, the director told everyone to hurry and catch seafood. Huosang was a little regretful that he didn’t need to dive into the sea to catch seafood and licked his lips, only to be pushed forward by Qin Yan.

Xie Jifeng followed beside Yang Fan, his voice gentle, “You were resting yesterday and didn’t come, this should be your first time, so stick with me.”

Yang Fan’s original smile suddenly became a little conflicted. He said okay, but his head was slightly lowered, looking somewhat absent-minded.

Xie Jifeng took in his emotions, and wanting to make him happier, he brought up Huosang’s unlucky incident from yesterday.

“Be careful if you see crabs, don’t grab them with your hands. Like Huosang yesterday, he reached out to grab one and got pinched painfully.”

Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and his smile became gloating, “Brother Xie, I’m not stupid.”

Xie Jifeng also laughed, “Be careful, Huosang will definitely be angry if he hears you say that.”

Yesterday, a few of them were playing Dou Dizhu (Fight the Landlord), and Huosang lost so badly he started doubting his life and got angry, unleashing a barrage of complaints at Qin Yan (pouncing on him and making a fuss).

He only stopped after realizing Yan Ye was live streaming.

Yang Fan chuckled twice, forgetting the troubles Song Yang had brought him.

The process of catching seafood is always full of surprises. With Huosang’s personality, he was startled by everything he found, frightening everyone several times.

“Ah… Mmm mmm…”

Qin Yan was quick, covering Huosang’s mouth with one hand to prevent him from yelling again.

Huosang glared at him in dissatisfaction. Qin Yan lifted an eyelid, looking upwards, ignoring his accusing gaze.

Huosang ground his teeth and bit down on his palm.

“Are you a dog?” Qin Yan let go of his hand in pain.

Huosang proudly bared his teeth, showing his large white teeth, then ran to Yan Ye with the small octopus he had just found, presenting it like a treasure, “Brother Yan, look what I found.”

Yan Ye glanced at it and said distractedly, “I’ll give you an extra dish tonight.”

“Then I want to eat takoyaki (octopus balls),” Huosang started ordering dishes.

Yan Ye smiled apologetically, “I can’t make that.”

Qin Yan chased after him and smacked Huosang on the head, “You really dare to dream.”

Huosang rubbed his head and retorted to Qin Yan, “Why wouldn’t I dare to dream? Yan Ye is so amazing, a mere dish of takoyaki is no problem.”

After saying that, he felt he had a point and didn’t forget to ask Yan Ye, “Brother Yan, am I right?”

By the time Huosang turned back, the person behind him was already gone.

“Where’s Brother Yan?”

“Your Brother Yan left a while ago. If you stayed a little longer, you might even dare to order Buddha’s Delight.”
