Xiao Liu stood motionless in place.
He remained calm as he stared back at the young mistress.
“I didn’t lie to the young mistress, as you know. I’ve never been one to keep secrets; I just say what’s on my mind.”
Qiao Chu threatened, "If that day ever comes, I... will absolutely never make braised food for you again. There will also be no more flower cakes, tofu pudding, braised pork, kiln-roasted chicken... I won't give you any of the things you want to eat."
"..."
"I... will break off all ties with you!"
Xiao Liu blinked innocently, "Young Mistress, how did I become such a heinous person? Women can be so cruel!"
"Are you scared? Confess now!"
"What do you mean, 'explain'? I'm craving braised food again and want you to make it, but I'm afraid Master Zhi will scold me."
Qiao Chu pointed at Xiao Liu, "You better not be lying to me, or you'll face the consequences!"
"Young mistress, I need to hand in my documents. May I leave now? Wait a minute, I'll treat you to milk tea."
Qiao Chu waved her hand, and Xiao Liu left.
The moment the door closed, Xiao Liu took a deep breath.
The young mistress's eyes were so sharp; she described a whole bunch of delicious food, and he almost let slip what she meant.
However, for Master Zhi's sake, he would grit his teeth and bear the consequences, no matter how severe they might be.
He resolutely refused to say what Master Zhi forbade him to say, preferring to keep it buried in his heart.
...
Before Xia Fan called, Qiao Chu had already received a video from the private investigator.
Xia Fan openly went to meet Xu Ke in secret, using any excuse as a pretext.
Only a stupid woman like Rong Yan would treat this scumbag like a treasure.
There's plenty of time; she'll pay them all back in the future.
For now, remain inactive.
******
The CEO's office.
Qin Yun reports.
Jiang Zhi also saw the rumors circulating.
That's pure fantasy!
Some media outlets went even further, describing Justine as disfigured and looking so horrifying that she was afraid to show her face.
Some media outlets even wrote that Justine was gay and had an affair with him, which is why Justine repeatedly gave him the rights to release new products.
...
Jiang Zhi stopped reading before he had even finished reading the online reports.
Qin Yun, however, was somewhat worried.
"Master Zhi, will Justine's scandal affect the sales of the new product? We should take action to clean up those messy news stories to avoid future troubles."
Jiang Zhi calmly said, "There's no need to take action for now. Let the hype continue to rise. This is free advertising, showing that more people are very curious about Justine. The name Justine is practically ingrained in people's minds. Now, everyone who knows surfing has heard of Justine. This marketing campaign is already half successful."
“I checked, and Jiang Yan and the Rong siblings both hired online trolls and media outlets to slander Justine.”
Jiang Zhi's eyes were unfathomable, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a wicked arc.
"Darcy is the perfect fragrance for Valentine's Day! Prepare your Valentine's Day copywriting to capture hearts. Then, subtly release Justin's mature masculine message. Darcy tells a love story and is sure to be a hit for Qixi Festival and Christmas."
Qin Yun nodded. "Master Zhi, I'll go make the preparations."
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, but picked up his phone and looked at it.
It was a WeChat message from Xiao Liu.
Qiao Chu questioned Xiao Liu about the news concerning Justine.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi's lips curved slightly, and his whole demeanor changed. The cold lines on his face softened considerably, making his cool and handsome face even more sexy.
Isn't this little woman quite clever? If she wants to know who Justine is, she should find out herself!
Would the little woman be surprised if she knew he was Justine?
