Chapter 28: The stingy boss was scolded to a new level

Someone else found a brilliant point: "Listen to the recording. He's in love with someone new just a few days after the breakup! Isn't that seamless?"

The recording contained Lin Qinglan's smug voice: "I'm so sorry, sister, you're fired just because I came here... Oh, but Brother Chu didn't want me to get tired. I've been here for three days and I still haven't figured out his schedule..."

And Zhou Chu's cold voice: "Shu Yan? What are you doing here? What did you do to Lan Lan?"

"Shu Yan, we no longer have any relationship. I warn you, you are just a substitute. Don't forget your identity!"

"Oh my god, what did I hear, Stand-in?"

The onlookers were shocked. They found Lin Qinglan's name in Shu Yan's Weibo and dug out her family background. Oh wow, she has a good relationship with the Zhou family.

Looking at her photos again, I found that she was about 70% similar to Shu Yan, and I suddenly understood something.

"Isn't this the Bai Yueguang stand-in stalk from the novel? Oh my god, Shu Yan is so miserable... She's obviously being used as a stand-in..."

"Mom, we have wronged Shu Yan..."

"And that male assistant and Shu Yan, they were clearly innocent, as innocent as can be. Hey, he's been wronged too!"

"How can Zhou Chu be so vicious? Look at the chat records between him and his male assistant, he curses at people at every turn! Does he think he's so great?"

"Really, this little brother is so pitiful. The key is that he is more handsome than Zhou Chu. Could Zhou Chu be jealous of him?"

"The truth is out! How could that bastard Zhou be so vicious? Sword Man, he even falsely accused Shu Yan of burning down his villa and cheating on him. I think he cheated on Shu Yan!"

"He still has the nerve to act pitiful. I'm speechless as to why he stinks so much. I really want to twist his head off and stuff it in the toilet!"

New hot searches appear.

#We owe Shuyan an apology

#Stingy, apologize!

#ComfortFace

#Wei Min is wronged

#Shu Yan's company is selling like hotcakes

Zhou Chu was still at home dreaming about Shu Yan's disgrace when the housekeeper suddenly stumbled in: "Report! President, no, something bad has happened..."

"What are you so flustered about?" Zhou Chu gave him a cold glance.

"Boss," the housekeeper said anxiously, "It's trending all over the internet right now! They're all calling you — Boss Kou!"

Zhou Chu opened Weibo and almost vomited blood again.

The private message exploded!

"Boss Kou, go die!"

"You rotten cucumber, and you still have the nerve to frame others? Does your father know that you are so shameless?"

"Scumbag", "pink eye", "sour chicken", "dirty cucumber", "cauliflower man", "Zhou animal", "worse than pigs and dogs", "stinky", "bald mangy dog"

Zhou Chu was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but when he opened Shu Yan's response one by one, he found in despair that everything she said was true, even the corridor surveillance that proved that she did not go out on the day of the villa fire was true.

Now his feigned sad response suddenly became a joke, and became evidence that he had cheated on Shu Yan and wanted to trample her to death.

"Ah—" He pounded the bed violently, a certain part of his body starting to hurt again, his eyes bloodthirsty: "How could this happen? Suppress the trending search! Suppress, suppress all of them!"

"A bunch of lowlifes dared to insult me—block their accounts, all of them! I wonder what else they can say!"

Angry netizens suddenly found that their accounts were gone, and the trending searches dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared.

Zhou Chu began to adopt the Ninja Turtle strategy, not responding, not speaking, and pretending to be dead.

Unfortunately, he overestimated netizens' tolerance this time. It would be fine if he harmed Shu Yan, but he even dared to block their accounts, tui, this is intolerable!

Angry netizens registered new accounts, rushed out of Weibo, and left curses everywhere.

Even Lin Qinglan was scolded so much that the nurses' eyes changed when they looked at her. She was so scolded by all the mistresses, green tea lovers, scumbags and bitches on the Internet that she didn't dare to leave the ward.

On the third day, someone sent a large banner with a chrysanthemum pattern to Zhou Chu's company. There were only two words on it: "Stingy President".

Angry netizens began to dig into the Zhou family’s background, suspecting that the Zhou family had violated laws and regulations and questioning the Zhou family’s history of making a fortune.

This alarmed Zhou's father. Zhou Chu only managed to hold his head high for three days before he slid to his knees and apologized.

@Chu Xiansen: "I'm sorry for taking up public resources. I want to solemnly apologize to everyone. Regarding the matter between me and Shu Yan,"

Zhou Chu gritted his teeth and typed, "We broke up peacefully. We were truly in love at the beginning. Of course, there were some misunderstandings between us. In short, she is a very good girl, and I am not worthy of her."

"Now that we have broken up, please stop bothering her. I would like to thank everyone again."

What follows is a bunch of blah blah blah trying to pretend to be pitiful and gain sympathy.

The result can only be said that he took himself too seriously, thinking that if he played the victim, people would feel sorry for him. However, he didn't expect that he would be scolded again and became a hot topic.

"Zhou Chu, why are you being so noble? Just posting on Weibo is considered an apology?!"

"Why are you apologizing to us? It's Shu Yan you're apologizing to! It's Shu Yan! It's Shu Yan!"

"You're pretending to be your dad, pretending to be your dad. You're not even as good at pretending as your dad's urn. Have you responded to the body double issue? Have you responded to the seamless connection? Have you responded to the 50/50 split in the pursuit of someone for two years? Have you responded to the false accusation that Shu Yan cheated on her assistant?"

"Did you respond to the false accusation that Shu Yan stole money? Did you respond to the request to have someone rape Shu Yan? Did you respond to the obscene video? You know how to divert attention!"

"That's right, how could the noble CEO be wrong? Taking the blame for the CEO is a blessing for the workers!"

"Damn it! Come on, all the brands from Zhou's family! Stay away from them for the rest of your life!"

"+1, whoever wants to buy it can buy it, I won't buy it because I'm afraid of going bald."

"+1, I'm afraid Piyanzi will feel pain."

"+11111111111!! Lifelong darkness!!"

Zhou Chu looked at these comments and his hands were shaking with anger.

Damn it, he didn't want to respond? Those things were true, how could he respond? Huh?!

But what happened next was even more devastating. The company's stock price began to fall, and even other industries of the Zhou Group were affected.

Although the decline wasn't fatal, it was undoubtedly a huge mockery of the Zhou family. In all the years they had been rampant in Tuchuan, had they ever been in such a predicament?

Amidst the outcry, an unknown individual provided further information regarding Zhou Chu's company's tax evasion. Despite Juju's grief, Zhou Chu went to pay the tax, losing everything he had.

When Zhou's father saw this scene, he was so angry that he almost had a stroke. He called Zhou Chu over, slapped him in the face, and forced him to hold a press conference to apologize.

"Shu Yan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have deceived your feelings..."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hurt you, I shouldn't have framed you. I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please forgive me..."

In front of the crowd, Zhou Chu cried miserably, and for the first time, a feeling of shock, anger and confusion surged in his heart.

He had thought he could manipulate her, that she was just a cheap substitute.

But since when did she have the power to force him, the great Prince Tsuchikawa, to apologize in public?

He suddenly realized in horror that after pursuing her for two years, he had never seen her clearly, or perhaps he had never thought about seeing her clearly.

He was confused. Confused until today, he began to look her in the eye. Regretful until today, he had not seen Shu Yan.

She is Shu Yan, not "a beautiful woman similar to Lan Lan".

She was not his little darling whom he could summon and dismiss at will, pamper when he liked her and ignore when he didn't. She was not his woman, and she was not a little girl who tried every means to marry him.

She is his rival.
