Chapter 63
"So, after this connection, you didn't get closer to Shen Fengni, but instead offended her and punished yourself?"
Yu Qian's voice in the receiver was filled with a teasing smile, which made Meng Fan break out in a cold sweat instantly.
It's bad enough to have to answer a call from your boss after get off work, but being scolded and mocked by your boss is even worse.
Meng Fan shrank his body and pulled the quilt beside him to cover himself, seeking a sense of security.
She whispered, "Chen Fengni might not have noticed my manipulation. She might have just thought it was an ordinary PK. Besides, I was the one who got punished, and she made a ton of money. Why should she be angry? She might even be thanking me for setting it up."
Yu Qian sneered: "Do you really think Shen Fengni is as stupid as you?"
She had read Meng Fan's information before and thought that although he was a little young, he had a good family background and education, and she thought he was a promising talent. However, she didn't know that his performance was so unstable, and his IQ fluctuated, which made her regret looking for him.
Meng Fan quickly slid down to his knees: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I didn't do well."
Yu Qian rubbed her brows irritably. "Did Jiang Zhuoyan come after you to settle the score?"
She'd set up a scheme in front of Jiang Zhuoyan, then conspired to scheme against Shen Fengni, only to reap the consequences. She'd even punished herself for no apparent consequences. If it had been someone else, they might have let it slide, but considering Jiang Zhuoyan's previous biased behavior, she felt this matter wasn't over yet.
Meng Fan: "No, no, not at the moment."
With Yu Qian's attitude, she didn't dare to say that after the live broadcast, she chatted privately with Jiang Zhuoyan to get close to him, but was ridiculed and then blocked.
What followed was an unbearable silence. Meng Fan didn't dare to speak. He hid in the quilt like a quail, waiting for the other party to decide his fate.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Qian finally spoke, "Have you had any contact with that new assistant recently?"
Meng Fan:?
Her mind was full of Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan. She didn't expect Yu Qian to suddenly mention another person. It took her a long time to realize that the "new assistant" was Xu Weiyi.
She opened her mouth, "Ah... no, do you need me to keep an eye on her?"
Although she didn't know why Yu Qian mentioned Xu Weiyi, she wanted to appear more diligent. What if this was an opportunity to make amends?
"Why are you staring at her? Do you have nothing to do?"
Yu Qian sounded unhappy. "I want to see progress, do you understand? If you continue like this, I'll replace you."
Meng Fan felt very aggrieved. If Yu Qian hadn't started the conversation first, why would she have been so bored as to mention Xu Weiyi?
But she didn't dare to complain to Yu Qian, so she could only say timidly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I will definitely work harder."
Yu Qian responded, but it didn't seem like she was responding. Anyway, the call was hung up, leaving her with a series of busy tones.
Meng Fan sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then began to think about his next strategy.
I can't go on like this. Otherwise, not only will I not get the money, but I will also offend both Jiang Zhuoyan and Yu Qian at the same time. How can I survive in this business in the future?
Now there is only one way left for her, that is to satisfy Yu Qian, get the money, disappear for a while, and then come back to live broadcast again after the hype has passed.
Anyway, the amount Yu Qian promised her was enough for her to live wealthyly for several years.
So the question is...how can we make Yu Qian satisfied quickly?
Meng Fan was thinking hard, and at a certain moment, what Yu Qian said suddenly appeared in his mind.
"The real can become fake, and the fake can become real."
"That depends on your ability."
***
As the sun sets, the prosperous commercial street is shrouded in honey-colored light, like a lively old photo.
In the bustling crowd, Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan walked hand in hand, their shadows pressed together stretched out very long behind them.
"There's a flower shop up ahead, want to go take a look?"
Jiang Zhuoyan suggested as they passed a certain location.
Chen Fengni had no objection, "Okay, it's time to change the flowers at home."
Today was her day off, and Jiang Zhuoyan also had a rare day off. The two of them slept until noon, then decided to go out and relax, spending the time aimlessly.
Three days have passed since I connected with Meng Fan. I don’t know if it was because I suffered as a punishment, but everything has been very calm since then.
Meng Fan stopped broadcasting to rest, did not come to the company, and did not contact her again.
Life returned to its usual rhythm, and everything was peaceful and tranquil.
There was a slight buzzing sound coming from the side. It was Jiang Zhuoyan's cell phone vibrating. She glanced at the caller on the screen and then hung up.
Shen Fengni glanced at the name on the screen. It was Jiang Zhuoyan's assistant Xiao Yang.
She was a little worried: "Don't you need to answer it?"
Jiang Zhuoyan hummed, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
She probably needed to finalize another plan, but she didn't want to be disturbed by work during her rare personal time. She had always been very tense, so there was nothing wrong with slowing down occasionally.
There is a small shop on the corner, and the flowers in front of the door are in full bloom.
When I opened the door, the wind chimes on the eaves jingled.
Jiang Zhuoyan was surrounded by flowers. She picked up a few white roses that were in full bloom and put them into the bamboo basket in her hand.
Shen Fengni watched her movements and her eyes shook slightly.
She said, "I've always wanted to ask, how did you know I like white roses?"
Jiang Zhuoyan has the habit of buying flowers, and he will change a batch every few days, but no matter how he changes, white roses are always the permanent guests.
Not only that, at the funeral in her previous life, Jiang Zhuoyan also walked a long way up the mountain alone just to give her a bouquet of white roses.
But she clearly never asked herself about her preference for flowers.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhuoyan's fingers holding the flower paused slightly.
She turned away from the vibrant colors and said in a clear and gentle voice, "A long time ago, you said that during your live broadcast."
Shen Fengni was surprised: "You remember this too?"
She remembered that she had mentioned in a live broadcast that her favorite flower was the white rose, but it was only that one time. She didn't expect that Jiang Zhuoyan would remember it until now, and then almost stubbornly satisfy her preferences again and again.
"Of course." Jiang Zhuoyan's tone seemed to have a hint of cute pride, "I..."
Before he finished speaking, his phone started vibrating again.
Jiang Zhuoyan frowned, put the flower basket in her hand aside, and this time chose to pick it up.
Xiao Yang has been working with her for quite some time, and unless it was an urgent matter, he would not have called her twice in a short period of time.
Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, Xiao Yang's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Mr. Jiang, please take a look at the posts I just sent you."
Jiang Zhuoyan's mind moved, and he quickly switched to WeChat.
In the chat list, there are more than a dozen unread messages from Xiao Yang, most of which are links.
She clicked on the first link and immediately understood why Xiao Yang was so anxious.
It was a piece of gossip from a well-known marketing account in Qinglan City, titled "Popular female anchor Chen Fengni is suspected of being in a new relationship."
Jiang Zhuoyan's face suddenly changed. Shen Fengni realized something was wrong and immediately leaned over to take a look.
Scroll down further and you'll see a photo.
Because the distance is far, the photo is a bit blurry, but the facial features of the two people in the photo can still be easily distinguished.
Anyone who knows them can recognize at a glance that the people above are Jiang Zhuoyan and Shen Fengni.
The location was a supermarket near the company. The two people were standing in front of the shelves, concentrating on choosing daily necessities. Although there were no intimate actions, it could be seen that their relationship was very good, just like a couple who had lived together for a long time.
The moment she saw the photo, Shen Fengni's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She continued to scroll down, and there were long paragraphs of text at the back, interspersed with other photos of the two of them in the same frame.
Almost half of the shots were taken in or around the company, and the rest were taken at random locations.
"Well-known internet celebrity Chen Fengni's new relationship is suspected to have been exposed, is she enjoying a double harvest in love and career?"
"Recently, reporters have repeatedly photographed Shen Fengni behaving intimately with a beautiful woman, who is suspected to be the president of the 'One Dream' gaming media company, Jiang Zhuoyan."
"They went shopping together at the supermarket and then took the same car back to the villa owned by Jiang Zhuoyan."
"After Chen Fengni broke off her engagement with Yu Qian in July, she quickly signed with 'Yi Meng'. Her career is flourishing, perhaps due to the appreciation of Mr. Xiao Jiang."
…
Professional marketing accounts excel at word games, using clever diction. Aside from established facts, everything else is framed in a speculative tone. Even if investigated, it cannot be considered a rumor.
But everyone who reads this article will be left with the same impression
The relationship between Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan is somewhat ambiguous and has gone beyond the scope of friends.
Not long after Chen Fengni broke up with Yu Qian, she signed a contract with Jiang Zhuoyan's company. It was very likely that she cheated or it was a seamless transition.
Shen Fengni relied on unspoken rules to get to the top.
Shen Fengni is morally corrupt.
The screen was covered with dense black words, which seemed to crawl into people's brains like reptiles, making Shen Fengni dizzy for a moment.
She had seen similar news before, but she had always been a bystander. Now that the dirty water was thrown on her, she found that this feeling was more uncomfortable than she had imagined.
Shen Fengni took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty, "What... is going on?"
Jiang Zhuoyan's eyes were gloomy. "I will find out."
She slid her finger down and continued to check the other links Xiao Yang had sent. As expected, the contents were similar, pointing the finger directly at Shen Fengni, indirectly saying that she was obsessed with becoming the CEO's wife, so she was fickle and kicked out her old love for the new one.
Shen Fengni's eyes turned red with anger. She took out her phone and started looking through her address book. "I'll consult a lawyer."
"It's useless." Jiang Zhuoyan stopped her, "Feng Ni, don't be so anxious."
Although she and Shen Fengni have not made their relationship public, they have never deliberately kept a distance in their words and actions. If someone wanted to take a picture, it would be easy.
Moreover, according to the laws of this country, both people are public figures, and taking such photos is not illegal. Unless there is a threat to public safety, the police cannot be involved.
Therefore, there is no point in consulting a lawyer.
Shen Fengni soon figured this out and became even more anxious. "So what should I do now? Is there anything I can do?"
She is currently in the rising phase of her career and is already facing a lot of doubts and rumors. The sudden outburst of these suggestive articles has directly pushed her to the forefront, leaving her helpless and bewildered.
Jiang Zhuoyan hugged her, his fingers resting on her back, gently soothing her.
Her eyes were cold, but her tone was gentle, "I'll take care of it, don't worry about anything."
