Shi Yao showed He Qinqin his stocks: "Qinqin, I have some good news to share with you. The stock market is doing very well. Look at the money I invested, the daily return is as high as 2,000!"
"Wow, Shi Yao, you really have a great business mind."
He Qinqin stared wide-eyed at the steadily rising stock price; her man was truly amazing!
At this moment, Shi Yao showed a regretful expression, "Unfortunately, I have limited funds. Some of my money is tied up in the retirement project, so I can only buy this much."
"If another 100,000 or 200,000 were added, tsk tsk... it would be such a pity."
He Qinqin immediately grabbed Shi Yao's sleeve: "Yes, I have one! Brother Shi Yao, is it too late to enter now?"
The nurse, who was about to change He Qinqin's dressing, overheard the conversation between the two in the ward and her eyes darted around.

At 6:30 PM, the trending topics suddenly exploded!
A shocking piece of gossip has stunned the entire internet—
Ji Yuan, a top male celebrity who was participating in the rehearsal for Blue Sky TV in Haicheng, was exposed for cheating on multiple women and having a one-and-a-half-year-old illegitimate child with a fan site admin.
It's worth noting that two years ago, Ji Yuan received widespread praise from netizens for sending blessings and red envelopes to a pregnant fan at the airport.
At that time, everyone was praising Epoch for "spoiling its fans," "staying true to its original aspirations," and "being so gentle with its fans."
Wow, it turns out he was giving red envelopes to his own child! No wonder he was so generous.
[The image of a single, straight man from the Epoch Times was soaring, but now he already has a one-and-a-half-year-old child?!]
[Hilarious! Ji Yuan said in a rehearsal interview for the Blue Sky TV New Year's Eve Gala yesterday that he only loves watches and isn't interested in women.]
[Wow, I checked the exposé. He's had this girlfriend all along, and he's been dating several at the same time. He's so shameless, and only now is the truth finally out?]
[All the previous information has been suppressed; it's rumored that he has a powerful backer.]
[The blogger who broke the news also revealed that Ji Yuan posted on Weibo the day before yesterday in support of Grandma Liu, the artisan whose work was plagiarized by the Si Group. Was this on the orders of a sugar daddy?]
[Wow, what's going on? Has the plagiarism scandal involving the Si Group really taken a turn?]
The blogger who broke the news also revealed that the advertisement for unethical health products that the artist Grandma Liu had filmed before was plagiarized by the Si Group, and claimed that the Si Group's design drawings were intercepted, and that the designer's home was robbed, among other things, which were full of conspiracies.
Everyone discovered that the more they ate about Ji Yuan's melon, the more they ate, and the deeper they went, like wild boars jumping around in a melon patch.
Riding on the huge wave of attention generated by the scandal involving top male celebrity Ji Yuan, more and more netizens have come to know that Grandma Liu was an actress posing as a craftswoman, and was instructed by others to smear the Si Group.
At this opportune moment, 723 Convenience Store's official Weibo account also released a timeline—
The designer's hacked computer was repaired, and the data on the cloud drive was recovered. The designer had already completed the design drawings for the limited-edition dragon-patterned cake for the New Year six months ago.
The truth is now crystal clear.
#The craftsman is a fake, the veteran actor is real!#
#Grandma Liu was actually a scammer in a health product advertisement; the dragon embroidery was machine-made!#
......
As the truth gradually came to light, Blue Sky TV and Shanjiang Group, who were hiding behind Grandma Liu, were also drawn into the vortex of public opinion.
[Isn't the rise of Haoshi Convenience Store under the Sugie Group simply a copy of the Sishi Group's 723?]
[Yes, they secretly copied it themselves, and then even bribed Grandma Liu to pretend to be a craftswoman and try to extort money from the Si Group. That's utterly shameless.]
[To cater to its major client, the Shanjiang Group, Blue Sky TV actually used that dragon pattern as the logo for its New Year's Eve gala this year. They'll probably have to pay compensation to the Si Group now, won't they?]
[Those mindless haters who were previously attacking Si Jiuyin and Li Han, speak up!]
The male celebrity whose career collapsed was still fast asleep in a five-star hotel in Haicheng when he was suddenly woken up by a barrage of phone calls.
When he saw the trending topic, he was completely devastated.
With the Sugie Group as its backer, who would dare to expose this matter so comprehensively?
He quickly contacted the sponsors of the Sugie Group.
But no one answered.
At this point, both Shanjiang Group and Blue Sky TV were preoccupied with their own problems.
Faced with Si Jiuyin's sudden counterattack, both Shanjiang Group and Blue Sky TV were caught off guard.
Blue Sky TV quickly distanced itself from the situation, issuing a statement claiming that an outsourced contractor, while designing the logo for this year's New Year's Eve gala, lazily bought the copyright after seeing the dragon pattern that Grandma Liu claimed to have embroidered, and was thus deceived by Grandma Liu.
They had no idea how Grandma Liu had copied the internal blueprints of the Si Group, and the contract worker responsible for designing the logo for the New Year's Eve party had now been fired.
Good grief, so contract workers always get blamed for everything?
[Blue Sky TV's explanation has only made things worse, leading to suspicions that the Sugie Group sent industrial spies to obtain the Si Group's internal blueprints.]
Good grief, they've even resorted to hacking into the designer's computer! Isn't that illegal?
......
Amidst a flood of conspiracy theories online, the Sugie Group issued a lawyer's letter, essentially telling netizens to stop speculating without evidence.
Netizens who spend a lot of time surfing the internet and following gossip all understand that this is getting desperate and they're starting to shut people up. Many people's impression of Sugie Group has plummeted, not to mention the large wave of fans who turned against and abandoned Sugie Group's spokesperson and top male star, Ji Yuan, and started to go crazy.
The following morning.
In the conference room of the Si Group, Special Assistant Tang Yu opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
"President Si, your clarification methods are truly brilliant. Now that the top celebrity's scandal has generated buzz, our 723 Convenience Store's limited-edition Lunar New Year collaboration series has seen a surge in traffic!"
Si Jiuyin smiled. To clarify something, she needed to create an even bigger news story.
Since she now strongly suspects that the Sugie Group has been plotting against the Si Group for a long time, she might as well take this opportunity to test the waters and see how the other party reacts.
I've been getting insulted online for almost a week, lying low and waiting to catch him off guard today, and maybe even reap the benefits.
Ji Yuan, the private detective known for his juicy gossip, could easily obtain evidence, but other paparazzi dared not report it for fear of offending the Sugie Group.
But Si Jiuyin dared to do so because she had already found an even bigger weakness in the Sugie Group.
The marketing manager excitedly reported the latest data: "Sales of products that were previously affected by the plagiarism scandal are now skyrocketing, and this is just the result of one morning."
The head of the production department was also beaming. "When General Manager Si asked our production department to mass-produce the Spring Festival limited edition series, we didn't quite understand. But when the plagiarism scandal broke out, we panicked even more, fearing that the goods would be stuck in the warehouse and expire."
"I never expected Mr. Si to have planted such a deep foreshadowing!"
Si Jiuyin smiled gently: "That's not all."
