Recently, due to a bug when splitting chapters, it was only possible to upload using whole numbers, which is why recent releases ended up with a higher chapter number than the actual chapter number. The chapters already uploaded and their respective novels can no longer be fixed unless we edit and re-upload them chapter by chapter(Chapters content are okay, just the number in the list is incorrect), but that would take a lot of time. Therefore, those uploaded in that way will remain as they are. The bug has been fixed(lasted 1 day), as seen with the recently uploaded novels, which can be split into parts and everything works as usual. From now on, all new content will be uploaded in correct order as before the bug happens. If time permits in the future, we may attempt to reorganize the previously affected chapters.

I’m Keeping the Overbearing CEO After He Went Bankrupt [Rebirth] 46


Chapter 46: Qingbao and his Chu Corporation

How did the person in question feel?

Huo Li would say that he was extremely scared at that moment.

: )

However, after all, he was a true overbearing CEO who had been through great storms. He quickly calmed down.

He hadn’t expected Chu Qing to be so… explosive when he was drunk.

He only wished he could get home sooner to take a good, close look at this side of him. It was too cute.

He smiled as he silently took out his phone, set it up in front, and started recording his every move.

At this moment, Chu Qing had his head held high, his legs crossed, and his hands on the side, looking as if he were about to acquire the barbecue stall outside.

He opened his mouth, his eyes as if they had a pie chart, three parts cold, three parts arrogant, and four parts devilishly charming. “The weather is getting cold. The Pan Corporation next door should go bankrupt.”

Huo Li was extremely helpless. He drove and replied, “Alright, alright. I’ll make them go bankrupt tonight.”

Chu Qing’s eyes narrowed. “You’re being perfunctory with me.”

“…”

The next moment, he saw him lean over and hug his neck.

He buried his head in his neck and muttered, “You’re not allowed, not allowed to be perfunctory with me.”

Huo Li: “…!”

Fck.*

Who can stand this.

Huo Li’s grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.

Taking a deep breath, he pulled the car over to the side, then turned around and hugged him with a smile. “Little Qingbao, what kind of drunken fit are you throwing? Are you going to let me drive or not?”

He didn’t understand and just nuzzled his neck, clinging to him in a daze.

“Silly Qingbao,” he said, holding him in his arms and kissing his ear.

“Mmm-hmm…” he shrank his neck and frowned. “You tormenting little vixen…”

Huo Li: “…”

He rubbed the back of his head. “Did you secretly read the novel I recommended to you before?”

“Hic…” he said, his consciousness blurry, and looked up blankly. “Secretly?”

Huo Li chuckled and said nothing more.

He hugged him, and perhaps because he felt comfortable and warm, he kept squeezing against him and rubbing against him.

Huo Li: “…”

He pressed his waist, his voice hoarse. “Don’t move.”

“Ah,” he paused and looked up. “Man, sit up here. Move yourself.”

Huo Li: “………”

Huo Li let himself go and raised an eyebrow with him. “Man, you’re playing with fire.”

Chu Qing sneered. “You’re the one who started the fire, man.”

Huo Li lowered his head and said in his ear, “Then how do you want me to put it out? Hmm?”

His voice was hoarse and low, and the magnetic sound exploded in his ear, the ending tone teasing, which made his whole body stiffen and goosebumps rise.

He thought in a daze, What a strange feeling…

“Ngh…” he frowned. “Im… impudent…”

“How am I impudent?” Huo Li’s hand gently rested on his chest, and he raised an eyebrow. “Like this?”

“Ngh…” he clutched his sleeve and looked up at him with wide eyes.

Huo Li met his eyes, his heart stirred, and he lowered his head to kiss his lips.

The strong smell of wine hit his nose. He smiled and gently bit his lip.

“Little one, you’ve learned to be bad.”

He held the little rabbit in his arms with one hand and pressed the back of his head with the other, deepening the kiss.

“Mmm-hmm…”

He gripped the fabric on his back tightly, his legs also wrapped around his waist, like a koala.

Huo Li’s hand squeezed a little, and he couldn’t help but tilt his head up, made even more dizzy by the deep kiss, his eyes looking at him in a daze.

After the long kiss finally ended, he looked up and said with a milky laugh, “I, I like you…”

Huo Li was stunned and looked at him, saying nothing.

Is this drunken nonsense or…?

He wanted to know the answer, but he didn’t dare to know the answer.

He just stared at him, his heart as if it were being scratched by a cat’s paw, itchy and unbearable, and also a little apprehensive.

At this moment, the temperature in the car was moderate, and it was snowing lightly outside. He was hugging him and looking at him with a silly smile.

“Qingbao…”

Huo Li’s eyes darkened slightly.

He smiled and just hung on him, starting to hum a song to himself.

“Qingbao, get down. I have to drive,” he said gently. “Okay?”

He gently took his hand and pulled it down.

“Mmm… you damn man…”

He struggled in dissatisfaction.

“Be good.”

When he was sober, Huo Li loved to be touchy-feely and improper, but now that he was in a daze, he was unwilling to do much.

After pulling him down, he pressed him down in his seat, buckled his seatbelt again, and then started the engine.

He was also a little tired. The alcohol was slowly getting to him. He leaned against the back of the seat, sometimes awake, sometimes asleep. When he was awake, he would sing to himself in a small voice.

When the car stopped at a red light, he leaned over curiously to listen.

“Big bad wolf, big bad wolf… unreasonable and very fierce…”
“Big bad wolf, big bad wolf… takes advantage of people and acts cute…”
“Big bad wolf, big bad guy…”

Huo Li: “…”

: )

After they got home, he carried him out of the car. He grabbed his neck and struggled, babbling something he couldn’t understand. It was a struggle, but he finally managed to get him home.

He couldn’t take a shower like this, and it was not advisable to shower after drinking. He could only find a set of clothes for him to change into.

“Come on, be good, Qingbao.”

He sat on the sofa in a daze, looking at him blankly.

He carefully grabbed the hem of his clothes and pulled it up to help him take it off, but he was not cooperating, and his whole body was limp.

“Ngh…”

He was extremely patient, pulling at the clothes with one hand and grabbing his arm with the other. However, the clothes were still stuck. His head and hands were buried in the clothes, and he suddenly started to cry.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong, Qingbao? Where are you uncomfortable?”

He was startled and quickly pulled the clothes down again.

After the fabric was pulled down, what met his eyes was his messy, bird’s-nest-like hair and his red-rimmed eyes. Not just his eyes, but his nose and cheeks were also flushed red.

“Be good, Qingbao. We won’t change. We won’t change,” he said, pulling his clothes back down and wiping his eyes. “Don’t cry.”

He started to sob.

“Silly Qingbao… what’s wrong?” he said, hugging him and gently patting his back. “I’ll let you drink again next time.”

“Wuu…”

He was already familiar with this embrace and hugged him. “You, you don’t have money…”

“What?”

“You don’t get rich… no, wait… you have to be rich…”

He didn’t quite understand these incoherent sentences.

“When you have money, you’ll leave…”
“…no one will come back.”

His body stiffened.

“Qingbao…”

He opened his mouth, realizing that this person was not in his right mind now, and it was useless to say anything. So he just reached out and gently rubbed the back of his head.

He sobbed, “You won’t leave… okay?”

This was the first time he had said this to him, although it was after he was drunk.

Before, he had always said, “You’ll leave.” Now he was saying, “Don’t leave.”

Because he was also trying.

He lowered his gaze and held him tightly.

He also slowly understood what this person in front of him was thinking.

“Okay, Qingbao, don’t be afraid. I will protect you,” he said. Even though he was in a daze now, he still said it very seriously. Because this was not for him to hear, but for himself.

— — — —

The midday sun shone fiercely into the room, and the room also lit up.

When Chu Qing opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed. His head was as heavy as if it were filled with lead from the hangover.

He frowned and sat up, staring blankly at the window.

The sun is so bright.

He looked at the alarm clock on the table.

“…”

“…!!”

He was jolted and quickly got up to wash up and change his clothes.

He still had to go to the recording of the show today! He had only gotten to C-class yesterday. He still had a lot of work to do today!

“Qingbao is awake?”

“Mmm!!”

He rushed into the bathroom like a whirlwind, and after washing up, he pulled Huo Li. “I, I have to go…!”

“Alright, alright. Don’t be nervous. Luo Yucheng hasn’t even gone yet today. He’s even later than you.”

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and supported him as he bent down to put on his shoes.

The two didn’t have time to sit down and eat breakfast properly. It wasn’t until they were in the car that he ate the bread he had prepared for him.

He was finally able to sit properly, and as he ate, his memories came flooding back.

It’s over.

Last night, I seem to have…

He frowned slightly.

His impression of last night was a bit fragmented and blurry, but he remembered that he had gotten drunk at the barbecue stall, and then he was carried into the car by him, and he seemed to have… even kissed him?

He wasn’t sure if it was a dream or if he had really been kissed.

And then after he got home, he seemed to have… cried?

Chu Qing: “…”

It’s over.

I must have made a fool of myself last night.

Huo Li looked at his ever-changing expression on the side and suppressed his laughter. “Qingbao, do you still remember what you did last night?”

“…Not really,” he thought. Just based on those fragmented images, I’m almost dying of shame.

“Oh, that’s a pity.”

“…”

He asked cautiously, “What did I do…?”

“You…” he raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, “You did a lot of good things. I was almost completely taken advantage of by you last night. You little pervert.”

Chu Qing: “…?!”

He deliberately teased, “You always say I’m a rogue, but I didn’t expect our Qingbao to be like this when he’s drunk… tsk tsk. You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”

He was on the verge of tears.

“I… I… I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”

He couldn’t help but laugh and took out his phone.

Chu Qing: “?”

Then.

“The weather is getting cold. The Pan Corporation next door should go bankrupt.”
“You tormenting little vixen…”

Chu Qing: “………”

“Huo, Mr. Huo…!” he said, his face flushed red as he looked at the video, and said loudly, “How, how could you record it like this!!”

Oh my god, where is your conscience?!

In the video, he saw himself “enthusiastically” clinging to him, rubbing against him, and constantly acting cute in a soft voice.

And it wasn’t over.

“Man, sit up here. Move yourself.”

Public execution.

Chu Qing: “………”

He was in despair, he was so ashamed he wanted to die, he…

He choked.

“Cough cough cough… cough cough cough!!”

“…Pfft.” Huo Li was both heartbroken and wanted to laugh. He patted him. “Be careful. You’re the CEO of the Chu Corporation. If anything happens to you, the global economy will be affected.”

“………”

At this moment, he really wanted to jump out of the car.

He turned to look out the window, not looking at him, his ears red enough to bleed.

In the future… I will definitely not drink again!!

Alcohol is a mistake!

After arriving at the recording site, he didn’t delay and quickly went to C-class.

But to be honest, although he had felt a little uncomfortable when he had just woken up, and his stomach was churning, after eating, he actually felt very energetic now.

It was as if something that had been suppressed for a long time had suddenly disappeared, and as if he had vented something. He had become much more relaxed, and therefore more energetic, and his mind and body also felt lighter.

It was just…

When he thought of that video, he was still so embarrassed he wanted to explode on the spot. He secretly swore that he would definitely control himself when he drank in the future!

He would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not say those lines again!

It’s too embarrassing. Ugh, I shouldn’t have been bewitched by him to read those messy books.

He still taught until late at night this day, finishing C and D classes. The students didn’t go drinking this day, but all stayed in class to practice obediently.

And yesterday, Lu Luan had also started a WeChat group chat called “Late Night Struggle Group.” Yu Weixi and he were the only two teachers in it.

After Yu Weixi pulled him in, many students came to add him as a friend. He carefully looked at the usernames and avatars, and accepted those he had an impression of and knew.

In an instant, his WeChat friend list had many more people.

He was naturally happy.

He now had two group chats, one was a small group started by the contestants he had gotten along well with on the previous variety show, with An Yize and Wang Shiwei also in it, and the other was this barbecue group.

The next day, he also continued to go to F-class and finally went through all the classes. Then he went back to his small break room and told the students to come to him if they had any problems.

Huh…?

When he returned to the break room, he was stunned.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Weixi was also practicing dance in the break room. When he saw him circling his keyboard as if he were looking for something, he asked curiously, “What are you looking for?”

He frowned. “My little notebook that I just put here is gone…”

Yu Weixi was stunned. “Your little notebook… is it for recording music?”

He nodded.

Yu Weixi “hissed.”

He thought, Chu Qing has been preparing for his album recently. When he has free time, he would be in the break room, creating with his keyboard. That small, easy-to-carry notebook recorded his inspiration and demos. It was full of unreleased songs. It would be bad if it was stolen.

He said annoyed, “I just went out to eat. The practice room was indeed empty for a while.”

He was still searching everywhere in the practice room. Yu Weixi stood up and grabbed a staff member. “Did anyone come here just now?”

The staff member said honestly, “Teacher Lu and Teacher Luo were live-streaming and both came in just now… and another contestant, named Lu Luan, also came to look for Teacher Chu, but he left when he wasn’t here.”

During the recording of the show, the mentors would take turns to livestream and introduce the recording environment, chat, or interact with other mentors and contestants.

Yu Weixi said angrily, “It must have been Luo Yucheng who stole it! He has sticky fingers!”

In any case, the mentors were resting now, and there were no cameras following them, so he didn’t hold back at all.

He reminded, “But there were three people who came here…”

Yu Weixi said fiercely, “Among these three, that bastard Luo Yucheng looks the most suspicious. It must be him. Let’s go!”

He took his hand. “Let’s go find him and get your notebook back!”

“Eh…!”
“Xixi, slow down!”

The staff couldn’t stop him and could only follow helplessly.

A chapter unlocks every Thursday and Sunday.

With a global chain of companies, he was always abroad fighting for his career. The "love" he gave Chu Qing was simply the money that arrived in his bank account on time each month. When Huo Li finally returned to the country, he was greeted by the news of Chu Qing's suicide, a result of his depression. After Huo Li is reborn three years in the past… He immediately declares bankruptcy and rushes back home to be with his "wifey." Huo Li: "Qingqing, I'm bankrupt. I don't have a place to live. Can I sleep with you?" As soon as he says this, he turns around and conspires with his secretary: "Secretary, sell that villa of mine, quickly!" Huo Li: "Qingqing, I'm bankrupt and I'm so heartbroken... I need some comforting." Huo Li puts on a pitiful, puppy-dog expression, but his actions are aggressive and domineering. Chu Qing: ??? —And just like that, the great CEO Huo Li became the little singer Chu Qing's canary. —What's more, this canary even got his own sponsor pregnant.
