Hearing Qiao Zhen's words, Cui Yi felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head awkwardly and finally nodded.

"I understand, Sister Qiao Zhen. I will take care of all these matters."

"Your attitude is already very good. Since we are partners, I should definitely show the same attitude as a partner. If your company has some difficult problems, I can help you solve them."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yi excitedly stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to Qiao Zhen.

"Thank you, Sister Qiao Zhen!"

Qiao Zhen was startled by his appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "What's wrong? It's no big deal."

Seeing Cui Yi crying her eyes out, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh.

In a corner unnoticed by either of them, a paparazzi took out a camera and secretly filmed their faces.

"hey-hey."

The paparazzi held a camera and looked through the photos inside.

Although the words spoken by the two in the photo are unclear, the paparazzi's use of perspective to suggest that the two are very intimate has already given the audience plenty to think about.

After the two finished their conversation, Qiao Zhen returned home, where she soon saw a group of reporters surrounding her house.

"This is..." Qiao Zhen frowned, her intuition telling her that the situation was extremely dangerous.

Just then, a group of sharp-eyed reporters spotted Qiao Zhen returning from a distance and immediately rushed over.

"Miss Qiao, we have a few questions we'd like to ask you!"

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen was startled and quickly retreated back into the car, then drove away.

After leaving the residential area, Qiao Zhen still felt a little scared. After realizing in the rearview mirror that she had shaken off those people, Qiao Zhen stopped on the side of a sparsely populated road.

Almost instinctively, Qiao Zhen tapped on her phone, and what greeted her eyes was the gossip she had just heard from Cui Yi during their chat.

Because of Cui Yi's modeling background, the incident quickly went viral online.

Many of Cui Yi's fans were outraged online, and there were even rumors that they would dox Qiao Zhen.

Seeing this, Qiao Zhen's fingers trembled slightly, but she still struggled to slide them down.

After a brief conversation, Qiao Zhen realized that her chat with Cui Yi had been filmed by someone with ulterior motives and uploaded online, turning it into a scandal.

Especially the scene where Cui Yi cries his heart out at the end, it's more like when Qiao Zhen dumped Cui Yi and Cui Yi begged to get back together.

Qiao Zhen was speechless. She couldn't go home now. Just as she was figuring out what to do next, Gu Xijue suddenly called.

Gu Xijue's voice on the other end of the phone was very anxious: "Zhenzhen, are you alright now? Have you seen the news online?"

"I saw that it was pure nonsense, and I don't know what they were thinking when they started spreading rumors about me."

Qiao Zhen sighed and rubbed her forehead, feeling that this matter was not so simple, as if someone was stirring things up behind the scenes.

"I'm glad you're alright. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

"No need, I'm in my car now, I can go wherever I want, it's relatively safe for now, I've shaken off those reporters."

At this point, Qiao Zhen suddenly remembered something and said anxiously, "By the way, please don't let my mom see this news, I'm afraid it will upset her again!"

Although it's not exactly a serious news story, it's hard to say what might happen if Qiao's mother sees people online criticizing Qiao Zhen.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to the hospital caregivers beforehand to keep Qiao's mother away from news. We can talk about it again after things have calmed down."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen finally felt completely relieved. She said gratefully, "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you."

"It's nothing, but you definitely can't go home tonight, why don't you come stay at my place?"

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "This... isn't that a bad idea? I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."

After all, Qiao Zhen is a ticking time bomb now that he's in the news. He'll attract attention wherever he goes. What if he goes to stay at Gu Xijue's house and causes him trouble?

Gu Xijue simply waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Qiao Zhen. No matter what happens, I will always stay by your side."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen was deeply moved and nodded, saying, "Thank you. Please reserve a room for me tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Zhen was about to drive to Gu Xijue's house when she received a call from Lu Zheng.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Zheng sounded very angry.

"Is that news true or false?"

Qiao Zhen was speechless and could only frown and explain, "What is fake can never become real, and what is real can never become fake."

There was a two-second silence on the other end, then Lu Zheng's leisurely voice rang out: "We can't go home right now. Just find a hotel to stay in for the night, and I'll find you another place tomorrow."

"No need, I've already found a place to stay."

Qiao Zhen immediately refused, thinking that she still had to rush to Gu Xijue's house, so she hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Zheng looked at the trending topics online and was furious.

"Remove all the trending topics today, leaving no trace. If you can't do it right, you're fired."

After Lu Zheng finished speaking, his assistant didn't dare to breathe loudly and could only nod repeatedly before hurriedly leaving the scene.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zhen arrived at Gu Xijue's house, hiding from others the whole way, saying she was afraid of being seen.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, and Qiao Zhen's car was relatively inconspicuous, so no one noticed.
