Wen Ran slept half asleep and half awake that night. When he opened his eyes in the morning, there was darkness under his eyes.

She lay sideways on the bed, reached for the phone on the table, opened Weibo and looked through it.

Unexpectedly, after one night, Qi Xingchen’s negative news not only did not decrease, but increased instead.

Wen Ran widened his eyes, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly. He sat up from the quilt, holding his mobile phone in both hands, carefully checking the content on Weibo.

Some people are saying that Qi Xingchen had an affair with a female star while filming.

Others said that Qi Xingchen had been married five years ago and his child was already four years old.

Some also said that Qi Xingchen was gambling...

There are all kinds of negative information, each one more outrageous and exaggerated than the other.

The most disheartening thing is that no one in the comment section bothered to investigate the truth of the negative information and just blindly made accusations.

Even half of the netizens were shouting for Qi Xingchen to get out of the entertainment industry.

In addition, Wen Ran saw more and more that many famous brands announced the termination of their contracts with Qi Xingchen and no longer allowed him to endorse their own brands.

If the endorsement contract is terminated due to the artist's own reasons, Qi Xingchen will have to pay huge compensation to the brand.

Wen Ran threw back the quilt and got out of bed, clutching his phone tightly with his five fingers, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

When they got to the living room outside, Wen Ran thought about it and decided to call Qi Xingchen first to ask him about the situation.

The phone rang for a long time, and Qi Xingchen answered it when it was about to hang up.

His voice was very hoarse, "Xiaoran, are you okay over there?"

Wen Ran heard a very loud noise coming from Qi Xingchen's side, as if someone was making trouble.

"What's going on over there?" Wen Ran asked worriedly.

Qi Xingchen said casually: "They are just reporters, it doesn't matter."

Wen Ran turned on the speaker and asked, "Has your company said how it's going to handle this? We can't keep going like this."

The longer this incident lasts, the greater the impact on Qi Xingchen.

Qi Xingchen didn't rush to answer the question. Instead, he explained, "Xiaoran, I've never had a girlfriend, let alone a child. Don't believe what they say online. They're all making it up."

Wen Ran frowned, feeling helpless and distressed. "Why are you saying this now? I'm asking you what to do now? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No need." Qi Xingchen sighed, as if accepting his fate, and said, "This time, someone is behind this, and the company can't do anything about it.

But you don't have to worry about me, I can afford the penalty, and I've been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so I can handle these things."

Wen Ran only took in one of Qi Xingchen's words. "You said there's someone behind this. Do you know who it is?"

Qi Xingchen smiled bitterly, "Except for the one from the Shang Group, no one else can achieve this level."

Seeing Wen Ran silent, Qi Xingchen hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, I'm not that fragile. He is rich and powerful, but I, Qi Xingchen, am not a pushover either."

As he was talking, he suddenly thought of something and quickened his voice, "Don't go looking for him, and don't do anything for me. I can handle this myself. Promise me, okay?"

Wen Ran hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay."

Qi Xingchen deliberately made his tone sound relaxed, "Okay, you take a good rest at home, I still have things to do here."

"Then you go ahead and get busy."

Wen Ran hung up the phone.

She went to the bathroom to quickly wash up, then changed her clothes and left Jiangbin Community.

He broke his promise to Qi Xingchen and went to Shang Group alone.

Wen Ran wore a mask and took the elevator to the 48th floor with ease.

Twenty meters away from the president's office, I saw Lin Xinya walking out.

She was wearing a light purple spring suit and exaggerated silver earrings on her ears, making her look very eye-catching.

Lin Xinya walked towards Wen Ran in high heels and stopped one meter away from Wen Ran.

He looked at Wen Ran and said, "They say red energy nourishes people, but why do you still look so unfashionable to me?"

Wen Ran didn't stop walking. He walked right past Lin Xinya and continued walking towards the president's office.

Lin Xinya suddenly became angry and turned around to glare at Wen Ran's back.

"Why would someone who's about to leave the entertainment industry be so proud?"

Lin Xinya didn't get a response from Wen Ran for what she said just now, let alone this sentence.

Wen Ran pushed open the door of the president's office and strode in.

Shang Jingchi was sitting at his desk, typing rapidly on the keyboard.

He took off his suit jacket and casually draped it over the back of a chair. He was only wearing a thin blue shirt.

When he saw Wen Ran coming in, there was no surprise in his eyes. He just stopped typing and raised his head.

Waiting for Wen Ran to speak.

Wen Ran rested his palms on the desk, his face filled with anger, "Did you do what happened to Qi Xingchen?"

Shang Jingchi's expression suddenly turned cold. "You came here just for Qi Xingchen?"

"What else?" Wen Ran asked, adding, "We are no longer related..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Jingchi slammed the table and stood up.

There was a loud "bang" and Wen Ran trembled with fear.

Before she could recover, Shang Jingchi had already walked around the table to her and grabbed her wrist.

"It doesn't matter?" Shang Jingchi laughed in anger. "Did I agree to let you leave? Huh?"

"I don't need your consent!" Wen Ran retorted, trying to break free from Shang Jingchi's hand that was holding her wrist.

Unable to break free, Wen Ran could no longer suppress her anger and shouted, "Shang Jingchi, your ideas are different from mine, we are simply not suitable for each other.
