Jiang Jianian understood what Ye Zhiwei meant, but after comforting her, he saw that Ye Zhiwei looked a little down. He stroked her hair and asked in a low voice, "Since you feel so guilty about this, I won't comfort you anymore. Do you remember what I told you before?"

Jiang Jianian's attitude changed very quickly, which made Ye Zhiwei slightly startled. She asked in a low voice, "What did you say to me before?"

“If you want to appease me—” Jiang Jianian took Ye Zhiwei’s hand and kissed it. His gaze was deep, and his eyes held a strong desire. Ye Zhiwei immediately understood what he meant without him having to say anything more.

Ms. Ye, who was still feeling sad, guilty, and heartbroken, silently withdrew her hand, took out her phone, and immediately changed the subject, "I saw that ever since Grandpa Peng said he would invest in IV Medicine, your reputation online has been super good."

Jiang Jianian didn't respond. His gaze was somewhat blatant, and his previously calm and composed expression gradually changed as soon as he mentioned appeasement.

They actually waited for her to express her attitude.

What exactly is this person thinking about all day long?

Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath, trying her best not to notice Jiang Jianian's gaze. She forced herself to pretend she didn't see it and focused her attention on the comments on her phone. Then she jokingly teased Jiang Jianian, "I saw a lot of people praising you for being handsome. Someone took a screenshot of you wearing a suit before, and they said you have the demeanor of a domineering CEO and that you are the prototype of a CEO novel."

Jiang Jianian replied dismissively, showing no interest.

After experiencing such a turmoil, the Ye Group's stock price plummeted to a standstill before rebounding sharply. In particular, the news caused quite a stir, providing a massive publicity opportunity for the Ye Group, which rarely advertises and has built its business step by step through quality. Many companies have even contacted the Ye Group to propose business cooperation, and the stock price is now significantly higher than when Ye Qingcheng was still in charge.

The market value of the Ye Group reached a new high, and Jiang Jianian, who was handpicked by Ye Qingcheng, became extremely popular online. Even IV Pharmaceuticals gained a lot of attention. There are various versions of how Jiang Jianian acquired IV Pharmaceuticals and transformed a bankrupt company from its original electronic chip business into a pharmaceutical technology company while retaining some of its necessary equipment.

Jiang Jianian's good looks were repeatedly mentioned.

When Jiang Jianian appeared at the press conference and was attacked by Yu Jingchen, there was actually a small group of fans who kept praising Jiang Jianian. They didn't know much about business matters, and they felt that Jiang Jianian hadn't done anything wrong. Even if her father committed a crime, he was punished by law. Her son hadn't done anything wrong either. Plus, with such a stunningly beautiful face, these fans were already willing to do anything.

However, the voices of this small group were quickly suppressed due to the heavy resentment on the internet, and several fans were even scolded by many netizens for being infatuated and shameless.

After this reversal, the fans who admired Jiang Jianian made a comeback, and their ranks grew even larger. They went from praising Jiang Jianian's talent to unanimously praising her looks.

"Did no one notice that this top scorer in the college entrance examination, this young genius, also has an amazing appearance?"

This is the first top comment, and all the comments below it are the same: You just realized?

Second floor: To be honest, I thought he was very handsome as soon as he appeared, but at that time so many people were cursing him that I didn't dare to speak up. For people who are obsessed with looks, good looks are justice. I don't believe that such a good-looking guy would do anything bad!

15th Floor: Um, I'm a student at Yenching University. Jiang Jianian caused a huge sensation when he entered our school. Even now, he's still frequently mentioned on the school's confession wall. This guy is incredible; female freshmen like him, female freshmen like him, and I heard that male and female freshmen also like him. [doge][doge]

79th floor: No way, no way, there are still people who think they don't care about looks? This is the first time I've seen a reversal cause such a big stir. In the past, the clarification posts would quickly disappear, and everyone would know that the previous thing was bad. The reversal wouldn't be as popular. This time the reversal is so big, wow, I don't believe it's not because of looks.

Floor 130: As I scrolled down, I realized that everyone here is a pervert, and to be honest, I am too. I'm already thinking of licking their boots.

...

Ye Zhiwei scrolled down, and all the comments were from people who were sycophants. Ye Zhiwei knew how powerful good looks were, but she didn't expect them to be this devastating. The comments became increasingly outrageous, even things that Ye Zhiwei, who was obsessed with looks, wouldn't have said.

This is probably the difference between a "face-obsessed person" and someone who is obsessed with looks. She's not even at the "face-obsessed" level, so she has to admit defeat.

Not only are there a lot of posts, but even content creators are starting to jump on the bandwagon?

It's one thing for a female internet celebrity to say that her ideal boyfriend is Jiang Jianian, but in a time when BL (Boys' Love) culture is so prevalent, there's even a male content creator who deliberately tries to capitalize on this trend by dressing up in women's clothing. He's a handsome boy wearing a wig, a maid outfit, and cute bunny ears. The maid outfit is a bit revealing, with a large expanse of bare skin on his back and his waist and collarbone exposed in the front. The fact that this male internet celebrity doesn't have any breasts makes the maid outfit look less appealing on him.

The male internet celebrity started discussing Jiang Jianian, beginning by explaining why Jiang Jianian became an internet sensation: a tragic background, exceptional intelligence, and the help of a master—he's practically a real-life version of a protagonist who defies expectations. Then he started saying that all girls these days are perverts, and then posted some exaggerated drooling emojis to imply that he is one of them.

This kind of "bromance" is very topical.

When Ye Zhiwei saw it, she kept pushing Jiang Jianian to watch it. She thought Jiang Jianian would only glance at it a few times and then look away. After all, although the male internet celebrity was very handsome and dressed as a woman, his voice was not processed and was still a male voice. Unexpectedly, Jiang Jianian actually watched it and even watched the whole video.

Ye Zhiwei: ? ? ?

Just as Miss Ye was about to doubt whether she had accidentally activated Jiang Jianian's strange attribute, Jiang Jianian narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Zhiwei: "Ye Zhiwei, what is he wearing?"

Is that slightly furrowed brow because he thinks the male content creator is dressed too provocatively?

"It's a maid outfit, a bunny ear maid outfit. It was very popular for a while. The one he's wearing is a bit see-through. He probably deliberately chose this sexy style. But since he's a boy, it doesn't look too sexy on him. It makes him look cuter." Ye Zhiwei replied to Jiang Jianian with a puzzled look.

Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Zhiwei, then scanned the video, and said indifferently, "So it's a maid outfit."

Looking at Jiang Jianian's thoughtful expression, Ye Zhiwei had a bad feeling.
