Qiao Wanwan didn't tell her, "Zaozao, I know you care about me, but don't ask too many questions now. I promise you, once everything settles down, I will tell you everything."

Cheng Zaozao nodded, "Okay, I won't ask anymore. As long as my sister is alright, nothing else matters to me."

......

After having breakfast with Cheng Zaozao, Qiao Wanwan was discharged from the hospital and went to Dijin Group.

"Good morning, Madam." Jiang Dong followed her into the CEO's office. "The documents that need to be signed are all on your desk. Please take a look."

"I understand," Qiao Wanwan asked. "Was the trending topic removed?"

“It’s been taken down.” Jiang Dong nodded. “I’m sorry, Madam. It happened so suddenly, and it was so early in the morning. It was my mistake to leave this trending topic on for more than an hour.”

"It's not your fault. You're not a machine; you can't work 24/7." Qiao Wanwan sat down behind her desk and took a sip of the warm water her secretary brought her. "By the way, didn't Jingting arrange before that no platform should expose photos of our family? How come it's trending again this time?"

"Madam, speaking of this, I have to tell you something interesting. Do you know who's behind this trending topic?"

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Judging from what you're saying, it must be someone I know but who is unexpected."

"It is Zhan Xiuwen."

"Zhan Xiuwen?" Qiao Wanwan asked in surprise. "Wasn't he previously suppressed by Jing Ting to the point of being unable to breathe? How does he still have the financial resources and ability to provoke us?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I've checked, and Zhan Xiuwen is indeed the mastermind behind it."

Qiao Wanwan seemed thoughtful. "I have a feeling that Zhan Xiuwen's interference at this time is not a simple matter..."

"Madam, don't worry. Just like you said, Zhan Xiuwen has long been suppressed by Master Zhan to the point of being like a rat crossing the street, and he's no longer a threat. He's probably just resentful, so he's trying to stir things up and get on the trending topics to annoy you."

Qiao Wanwan disagreed, "This is not the kind of thing Zhan Xiuwen would do. He knows what the consequences of offending us would be, so why would he ask for trouble?"

"Go check on his current situation. Doesn't he still have a small company? Check on its business operations."

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Although the trending topic was removed in time, the incident still alarmed many people, and Old Master Huo quickly called.

"Wanwan, who dares to photoshop such a picture and spread rumors about you? Don't worry, Grandpa has already investigated. Once we find out who it is, we'll make them pay!"

Qiao Wanwan was both amused and exasperated. "Grandpa, since you trust me, why are you so angry? Don't worry, I can handle these things myself. If I really can't handle them, I'll tell you, and you can help me then, okay? My grandpa is all-powerful; no matter what kind of monsters or demons they are, they can't beat you."

Grandpa Huo then burst out laughing, "You child, you always know how to make Grandpa happy. Wanwan, just remember one thing: for you, Grandpa is willing to give everything."

“I know.” Qiao Wanwan’s eyes welled up with tears. “I know Grandpa loves me the most, so I’m not afraid of anything.”

"Good to know. Come home early for dinner tonight. I'll ask the kitchen to make more of your favorite dishes."

"good."

Before Qiao Wanwan could hang up, Wen Lijing called.

She composed herself and said, "Grandpa, I have a phone call coming in, so I'll have to talk to you later."

"Okay, remember to come home for dinner."

"Okay."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and answered Wen Lijing's call, her tone much calmer, "Lijing, what's up?"

"Wanwan, I just found out about the trending topics. What happened last night? Why did you go to a place like the slums?"

"I grew up in a relatively disadvantaged background, so it's not surprising that I ended up in a place like that. As for the trending topic, I don't want to explain anything."

Wen Lijing: "......"

"Wanwan, I didn't mean to pry, I was just worried about you."

"I'm fine. If there's nothing else, I'd like to get back to work."

"Wanwan, I have something to tell you."

"you say."

“Your brother transferred some money to my account, saying it was for my rescue of Eleven. I’m transferring it to you.”

"Okay, go ahead and forward it."

Wen Lijin asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to try to persuade me to accept it?"

Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly, "If you could accept it, would you have waited for my brother to give it to you?"

Wen Lijing: "......"

"I really didn't intend to accept it."

“I’ve always known.”

Wen Lijing quickly transferred the money to Qiao Wanwan's account; it was enough for an ordinary person to live on for several lifetimes.

Qiao Wanwan leaned back in her executive chair, pinching her brow with her fingertips, feeling a headache coming on.

The torrential rain lasted for two whole days without stopping. The capital city did a good job in flood prevention, so there were no serious consequences, but some towns in neighboring cities suffered heavy losses.

Qiao Wanwan was instructing her secretary to make donations when Jiang Dong knocked on the door and walked in.

"lady."

Seeing that he seemed hesitant to speak, Qiao Wanwan instructed her secretary, "Just donate this amount. In addition, all employees in the disaster area will receive a subsidy in addition to being able to work from home."

"Yes, madam."

After the secretary left, Jiang Dong reported, "Madam, Zhan Xiuwen is indeed very problematic. I found out that his small, struggling company was originally difficult to operate, but half a month ago, an overseas account suddenly injected a large sum of money into it, allowing it to operate normally. No wonder he had the money to arrange trending topics."

Qiao Wanwan looked at him, "This matter isn't enough to make you come all the way to me to report it, is it?"

“What you say is true, Madam,” Jiang Dong continued. “I also found out that Zhan Xiuwen registered a new company on the same day, named Emperor Zun.”

"Emperor Venerable?" Qiao Wanwan was both amused and exasperated. "We are Emperor Jing, and he named himself Emperor Venerable. What, does he think he is more noble than us and wants to suppress us?"

"Madam, Zhan Xiuwen's actions at this time suggest something fishy is going on."

"They dared to put me on the trending topics list and even dared to register some kind of 'Emperor' account,' so there must be something fishy going on." Qiao Wanwan smiled. "It's probably related to that fund. Go check who owns the overseas account."

"They're already investigating, but I'm afraid it won't be long before we get results."

The words had barely left his lips when the door to the CEO's office was pushed open, accompanied by the secretary's voice, "Sir, you cannot enter without Madam's permission... Sir, you cannot enter..."

Qiao Wanwan looked up at the sound and saw Zhan Xiuwen barging in despite his secretary's attempts to stop him.

Jiang Dong immediately stepped forward to stop him, "What do you want to do?"

He looked at his secretary and said, "Is the security guard downstairs just sitting around doing nothing? How could he let someone like that in!"

“I’m surnamed Zhan, after all, and I’m Jing Ting’s relative, so naturally they wouldn’t dare to stop me,” Zhan Xiuwen sneered. “It’s like when the cat’s away, the mice will play. With Jing Ting gone, it’s the women and you, his lackeys, who are now in charge of the Dijing Group.”

"Oh right, I almost forgot, Qiao Wanwan cheated on me. Looks like if I hadn't come soon, the Imperial View Group might have ended up with some other man's surname..."
