Chapter 84 Fortune favors the bold, let's fight for three more minutes.
The phone call had barely ended when Fang Ke called again, before Yi Mohan's anger had subsided even slightly.
Yi Mohan: "..."
So, you dare to come here to die?
Ignoring Su Yao's attempts to stop him, Yi Mohan answered the phone angrily, his first words being, "Fang Ke, if you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."
Fang Ke smiled calmly on the other end, "Don't be angry, Mr. Yi. How about I apologize? You probably don't know I was playing a game. That phone call was just a little joke. You're a magnanimous person, you won't hold it against me, okay?"
"roll."
Yi Mohan showed her no mercy, saying harshly, "I think you've been at the bottom for too long and have long forgotten how miserable the consequences of offending me are. Fang Ke, you asked for this."
Fang Ke said quietly from the other end, "Oh, really, Mr. Yi, can't you handle this?"
"Heh, who's going to play with you? Have you forgotten who you are? Your production team can expect a lawyer's letter."
Fang Keqi said, "Wow, you knew I was recording a TV show?"
Yi Mohan didn't want to say another word or another sentence to Fang Ke; he really was an idiot.
"How about this, before you hang up, I want to make a deal with you—if you hang up in three minutes and let me win the game, I'll tell you a story that Yes once said bad things about you, and only I'll know about it."
"?"
"bite!"
"Oh, it's nothing. Someone surnamed Ye just sent me a WeChat message. Should we ignore him and continue our transaction?"
"..."
The fact that Fang Ke had been in contact with Ye Si in private made Yi Mohan frown and cool down a bit.
Yi Mohan had been paying attention to Ye Si ever since he was parachuted into the investment strategy department of Yi's Group five years ago.
The old man granted this man immense authority and provided him with constant protection. Ostensibly, he was the CEO of the Yi Group, but in reality, many of the Yi Group's major financial decisions were made through Ye Si. Even reports from many of the group's subsidiaries were submitted to Ye Si.
In terms of real power, he may not even be as powerful as Yesto.
Yi Mohan had always suspected Ye Si's true identity. If he were to find evidence that the man was the old man's illegitimate son, he would definitely kill him first.
Thinking of this, Yi Mohan remained calm and said, "You actually managed to contact Ye Si. Impressive, Fang Ke."
Fang Ke sighed softly again, "It's obvious you've never cared about me. Senior Ye and I have always been alumni; we probably even knew each other before you did!"
"..."
Yi Mohan gave a cold laugh, "Fine, but if you dare to mess with me again in three minutes, you're as good as dead."
Fang Ke clicked his tongue, "So men are interested in what others say behind their backs too?"
"Of course I want to hear what my good employees have to say about me behind my back."
Fang Ke felt very uncomfortable hearing him call her a "good employee," and she lost interest in playing along. She simply said, "Fine, let's all mute for two and a half minutes."
Miraculously, both sides fell silent, and only then could Su Xiaohe reach out and ask for his phone.
Su Xiaohe wanted to say he couldn't give it to her, but under Fang Ke's fierce glare, he still held up the phone with both hands and handed it back to her.
Su Xiaohe: We messed up! One success would have been enough for the ratings, but he just had a sudden inspiration—fortune favors the bold—to have Fang Ke make another call to Yi Mohan that lasted at least three minutes! If that had succeeded, it would have been an absolute bombshell… Now, the show is a hit, but will Fang Ke be hunted down by Yi Mohan? He'd be partly responsible for that…
Fang Ke pursed her lips and found the WeChat message Ye Si had just sent. Sure enough, it was a question mark.
[Fang Ke]: ... (ω) Senior, are you watching my show?
[Yes]: ...
[Yes]: Did I offend you?
[Fang Ke]: No! I was just spreading misinformation with that idiot Yi Mohan! How could I possibly say anything bad about my senior? He was just a tool for me to win the game.
[Yes]: Am I not a tool?
[Fang Ke]: Of course not! How could you say that about yourself, senior! I only borrowed your title because it sounds impressive and useful, don't be angry QAQ, I definitely won't let you get hurt!
Yes sent a message: [:]
Fang Ke thought this meant the other party wouldn't hold it against her, so she replied with a grinning emoji and then never replied again.
She had just switched out of Ye Si's chat interface when she received another WeChat message from Zhao Qi.
[Senior, are you crazy? Brother Ye will be angry, won't he?]
Fang Kejing exclaimed, "You're watching my show too?"
Zhao Qi sent a resentful message: "Otherwise, why didn't my senior take me on the show? She brought along a fan she'd only known for a few days instead."
Only then could one sense his overwhelming resentment, and all one could do was suffer from a headache. [Don't be jealous.]
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi replied, "So what if I ate it?"
Fang Ke: ...
Fang Ke then replied in a typical straight-man manner, "Then you can eat slowly."
She received three consecutive ellipses from Zhao Qi.
"It's almost time," came Yi Mohan's impatient voice from the other end of the phone. "Just say it. Stop pretending and keeping me in suspense. Do you know how much of my time you've wasted today?"
Fang Ke casually replied, "Yes, let me think... It was a dark and windy night. I was walking alone on the national highway. The fog was thick, and there were hardly any living creatures around for miles..."
Yi Mohan interrupted her, "Why don't you start telling your story from the time you were born?"
"Do you want to hear it? One night in the year 2000, I was born..."
"That's acceptable."
The man's patience was completely exhausted.
Fang Ke felt it, so he didn't beat around the bush.
"Okay, anyway, I got lost on the national highway that day and met Senior Ye who happened to be passing by. He took care of me and gave me a ride. We chatted about you on the way."
"Ha, who cares where you were talking or what you were talking about? You have a tongue but can't speak properly, do you?"
"You really have anxiety disorder? Are you some kind of anxious king? Excuse me, could you please stop interrupting me?"
To his surprise, Fang Ke's voice was louder and more imposing than his, which made Yi Mohan so angry that he felt internally injured. "Fine, then you tell me."
"Let me mimic Senior Ye's tone back then: 'President Yi, being handsome is one thing, but being born into privilege makes one sigh that the dividing line between people really is amniotic fluid. Although I rarely have direct contact with President Yi in my work, in the entire company, who isn't impressed by President Yi's charisma, who isn't awestruck by his brilliant decisions, and who doesn't greet him warmly from the bottom of their heart as "Boss!" President Yi is simply the light of the Yi Group, illuminating the path forward for every employee!'"
"..."
Yi Mohan gritted his teeth: "Fang Ke, try playing me again!"
"I'm not kidding you. It's all what Senior Ye said. I might have embellished it a little, but it's pretty much the same..."
Yi Mohan wanted to strangle her. "Is that what you call bad talk??"
"Yes! I forgot the most crucial point! I immediately refuted it, saying it's impossible, how could a person be so perfect!"
Fang Ke then exaggeratedly added, "So Senior Ye said that if he had to point out a flaw, President Yi's biggest flaw was that he had no flaws, which made him, as a fellow man, jealous. He might also be a bit love-struck, but what he felt was a man's deep affection, which was simply a model for us all."
Yi Mohan: “…………”
"I'm the one who's sick in the head. I spent the whole night playing your fool, don't let me see you again."
Yi Mohan hung up the phone immediately and blocked Fang Ke's number.
Fang Ke looked at the six-minute and twenty-second countdown displayed on the screen, spread his hands, and stood up to accept the utmost respect from the crowd.
Where is the applause?
