Chapter 500: Bombardment

The conference room was filled with groans and cries of pain. Some people even swore to the heavens, "Heaven above and earth below as my witness, I will never dare to say a bad word about Director Yuan again. This indirect attack is absolutely devastating!"

"Stop talking about those useless things, I'm just concerned about whether the application will be blocked."

Xiao Chen pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and said slowly, "Probably not. Director Yuan is a very nice person. Even if he were to look at something, he would only look at whether the artist meets the standards and wouldn't care too much."

If I'm really worried... I should be worried about Ran-jie getting bogged down in details in her upcoming work, right?

Everyone fell silent, then regretted their actions.

Xu Ran had just returned to her office and was taking out a thermometer from her usual first-aid kit to take Yuan Siyin's temperature when Sheng Fengqiu called.

"Hey, Mr. Sheng, what's up now?" Xu Ran tilted his head, holding the phone between his fingers, and flicked the mercury column.

"Hey Ran, is Yinyin at the company? Why isn't she replying to my messages today?"

The thought that Sheng Fengqiu was also one of the male protagonists in the scandal that had embroiled Yuan Siyin made her tone a little unpleasant: "Isn't it normal not to reply? It's not like you would reply normally."

"Of course I replied! I did reply, didn't I!"

His voice suddenly weakened: "I heard about what happened this morning, and I'm a little worried about her."

"Young Master Sheng's information network is truly impressive. It's only been a short time since it happened, yet it has already reached your ears, especially since you weren't even at the company."

After confirming that the thermometer, which hadn't been used for a long time, was fine, Xu Ran snorted irritably, put her phone on the table, turned on speakerphone, and then used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to wipe it clean for disinfection.

On the other end of the phone, Sheng Fengqiu innocently touched her nose: "Sister Ran, you seem a little different today, like you've taken some kind of poison. Who offended you? I'll teach them a lesson for you."

"Should I teach him a lesson or help Yinyin learn a lesson?"

Sheng Fengqiu chuckled foolishly, "Yes, I have them all."

Xu Ran rolled her eyes and ignored him, continuing to toss the thermometer around. Sheng Fengqiu, after answering, belatedly realized, "She was really bullied?"

"Don't you know if you've been bullied? I'm not trying to criticize you, but she's rejected you so many times, can't you just stop now?"

It's not that I'm asking you to give up, but at least keep your distance and avoid bringing her so much criticism. If you send her milk tea today and roses tomorrow, how can you possibly silence the gossip?

After hesitating for a long time, Sheng Fengqiu finally managed to say, "Is it wrong for me to like her?"

"That's right, but now you only have two choices to help her: either you two really have a relationship, or you have absolutely no relationship with her, otherwise those people won't let their words rest."

Moreover, even if this matter passes, they will still bring it up again.

"Mr. Sheng, it's obvious you've been rejected several times. You two just don't seem like a good match."

“I’m certain that from now on, I will only love her for the rest of my life. Why is that not appropriate?” Sheng Fengqiu also lost his temper and argued directly with Xu Ran.

The idea of ​​only liking one person in this lifetime is too naive. Xu Ran felt a headache coming on and didn't want to argue with this little troublemaker who only knew how to make things worse: "Okay, okay, that's fine. I'm going to take her temperature. I'm hanging up now."

She quickly pressed the hang-up button, thus saving her ears from the barrage of immature, childish sweet talk.
