However, they quickly thought of Fang Xueqing. Just because others couldn't pull strings didn't mean she couldn't.

Given her status in Jiangnan, it wouldn't be a problem for her to help Ye Tianyu make connections.

Thinking about this, everyone began to suspect that Fang Xueqing and Ye Tianyu had a subtle relationship.

A female boss would not hesitate to use her personal connections to do a favor for a subordinate, which is something she wouldn't normally do.

Unless the two have a special relationship, or even an unknown ambiguous secret.

Although the rumors have been clarified, many people still believe that the two may be having a secret affair.

Some people at the scene were initially interested in collaborating with Ye Tianyu later, but considering this connection, they immediately became cautious and dared not utter a word.

Standing on the podium, Lin Xueyan's expression changed several times, as if she was thinking about something.

Seeing that no one reacted, Fang Xueqing guessed what they were thinking.

She didn't mind and smiled slightly: "Since no one is responding, then let's leave it at that. This matter ends here!"

"Okay!"

Ye Tianyu nodded and stepped off the stage.

Advertising on-site is not important to him; what matters is the restaurant and guesthouse that will be opening soon, and getting the business going first.

Expanding and growing is something for the future, it's still a long way off!

Seeing the three leave, the onlookers immediately dispersed.

A group of business elites also left the scene.

When Fang Chenwei and Lin Hao left, each of them had their own thoughts on their minds.

The former was furious because he couldn't control the Fang Group today, and Ye Tianyu's hotel and guesthouse were about to open smoothly. He was plotting his next move to deal with Fang Xueqing and Ye Tianyu.

The latter was planning to invite Fang Xueqing out for dinner, because Fang Xueqing had promised him yesterday that she would make time to spend with him after the exchange meeting.

Fang Xueqing was not defeated. He lost the chance to play the good guy and deceive her, so he could only pin his hopes on having meals with Fang Xueqing.

At this moment, he was wondering if Fang Xueqing would be free these next two days!

Soon, everyone dispersed, leaving only Jiang Ruonan and Lin Xueyan, both looking dazed, in the square.

At this moment, Jiang Ruonan could be described as having no will to live.

The AI ​​face-swapped video of Fang Xueqing and Ye Tianyu was not released; instead, the embarrassing scenes of her and Gu Tingchen were shown to the public.

It also spread online, and from then on everyone knew that her private life was chaotic.

No matter how thick-skinned she is, she doesn't dare to face public opinion.

What nearly broke her down was that her chaotic private life was exposed, causing clients to terminate their collaborations, which was her Achilles' heel.

If Hongyuan Group were to collapse, she would inevitably face a truly desperate situation.

"President Jiang, things have come to this point, there's no use thinking about it anymore, let's go back!"

Lin Xueyan walked up and said with a half-smile.

Jiang Ruonan felt so bad she wanted to cry, and she could hear the gloating in Lin Xueyan's tone.

In the past, in Jiangnan, she was high above everyone else, and she was incredibly powerful.

But now, she was in such a sorry state that she had to humble herself before Lin Xueyan.

She stood up silently, looking utterly dejected, and walked off the stage with Lin Xueyan.

Ye Tianyu followed Fang Xueqing back to the Fang Group.

Fang Xueqing looked at Ye Tianyu with a cheerful mood: "Alright, today the scandal is over, we've perfectly countered Jiang Ruonan, and won a great victory. You can now go and prepare for the opening of your restaurant and guesthouse!"

Ye Tianyu's mind was indeed entirely focused on the opening ceremony, and upon hearing her words, he immediately nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back now and prepare for the opening tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the office.

Fang Xueqing watched his departing figure, her beautiful eyes sparkling, a smile playing on her lips.

"Beep!"

My phone rang.

Upon seeing that it was Lin Hao calling, Fang Xueqing immediately frowned.

The call was connected.

Lin Hao's voice came through immediately.

"Xueqing, the exchange meeting is over, and your scandal has been cleared up. You said you'd have dinner with me, when are you free?"

Fang Xueqing's face was as cold as ice. After hesitating for a moment, she said indifferently.

"The day after tomorrow! Tonight or noon, wait for my call!"

Lin Hao's voice was filled with excitement.

"Okay, it's the day after tomorrow, it's a deal, I'll be waiting for you!"

Fang Xueqing hung up the phone, bit her lip, and felt increasingly disgusted with Lin Hao.

That bastard! The exchange meeting just ended and he can't wait to do it. How despicable he is.

I must have been blinded by a ghost to have been attracted to him.

The day after tomorrow, I will expose all your motives.

Ye Tianyu returned to Minghua Residential Area and called Qin Hao and Ding Xue over.

The three of them discussed the opening arrangements for tomorrow, and then went out together to buy the groceries they needed to buy first.

Everything is ready, and we're just waiting to open tomorrow.

Meanwhile, at Liu Qingyao's residence...

"Smack!"

Liu Qingyao slapped Gu Tingchen across the face.

"You bastard, you actually cheated on me with a gigolo?"

"Tell me, how long have you been in a relationship with Jiang Ruonan?"

After seeing the explicit video of Jiang Ruonan and Gu Tingchen at the exchange meeting, she had been holding back, but when she got home, she finally snapped. While angrily asking why, she slapped Gu Tingchen across the face.

Gu Tingchen covered his burning face, dumbfounded. He was furious that Liu Qingyao dared to hit him, and really wanted to slap her back.

But he can't go home now; he needs her, so he has to hold back his anger.

He retorted angrily, "You actually think I'm a gigolo?"

"Yes, I was played by Jiang Ruonan, but do you think I wanted to?"

"Do you know how much I suffer every day from this perverted old woman's torment?"

"You're suffering, yet you're still with her?"

Liu Qingyao shouted angrily and raised her hand to slap him again.

This time, Gu Tingchen was on guard and dodged it in a flash.

"Enough, are you still going to hit me?"

Gu Tingchen blushed and said, "Isn't all this because of you?"

“Your company is facing bankruptcy, so I asked Jiang Ruonan for help. She then made a condition that I accompany her.”

"If I don't agree, will you be able to get electronics manufacturing orders from the Hong Group?"

"Um?"

Liu Qingyao was stunned: "You... agreed to Jiang Ruonan's conditions to help me?"

"certainly!"

Gu Tingchen said sullenly, "If it weren't for you, do you think I have such strange tastes that I would be with an old woman?"

He was deceiving Liu Qingyao again. In reality, before Liu Qingyao's company even fell into crisis, he had already started an ambiguous relationship with Jiang Ruonan. His purpose was to get close to her because of her status and position.

But Liu Qingyao believed it at that moment, and her anger instantly turned into gratitude.

"So I misunderstood you!"

"For my sake, you actually wronged yourself and secretly stayed with that old woman Jiang Ruonan."

I misunderstood you, I'm sorry!

When Gu Tingchen saw that she actually believed him, a hint of smugness secretly flashed across his face.

He then feigned magnanimity and said, "It's not your fault, after all, I didn't tell you about this!"

"Now that things are clear, the matter is over."

"I promise I will never be with Jiang Ruonan again!"

As he spoke, he pulled Liu Qingyao into his arms and began to roam freely with his hands.

He'd only touched her once in all this time, so today he was going to take this opportunity to have some exciting fun with Liu Qingyao!
