Chapter 824 Sun Flower Group (Update 1)
Ruan Qi thought about it carefully.
Wan Teng had come to visit her at the hotel the day she first arrived in Country Y. Besides the two of them, Liu Wanwan and the others were also there. And when she entered the hotel with Wan Teng's arm around her, it seemed...
"The day Uncle Wan Teng came, I did notice someone staring at me. I even glanced outside the hotel a few times, but didn't see anything unusual. Then I got busy with the competition and forgot about it."
Ruan Qi was a celebrity and a well-known esports player, so it was normal for the media or paparazzi to secretly photograph her outside the hotel. Ruan Qi did sense something was amiss when she and Wan Teng entered the hotel, but she simply assumed it was paparazzi and didn't take it seriously.
"By the way, Jiujiu, we can check the surveillance at the hotel entrance, maybe we can find some clues."
The hotel surveillance naturally had to be checked, and Xi Jiu had already arranged people to go to the monitoring room.
Soon, news came from the monitoring room that someone had indeed been seen squatting in the bushes across from the hotel on the day Wan Teng visited Ruan Qi. But the person was dressed in black, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and it was impossible to tell whether they were a man or a woman, let alone their appearance.
Xixi: "But the hotel surveillance camera captured the man's camera. After the Eagle Division technicians identified it, they found that it was an extremely expensive model. The only people who could use such a camera were either professional photographers or private investigators."
Xi Jiu's eyebrows twitched: "Private detective?"
"Yes." Xixi found this model of camera on Taobao. "This is the exact model. It's incredibly expensive. Even the paparazzi and fans in the entertainment industry might not be able to afford it. But private investigators who specialize in serving the wealthy can afford it."
Private detective services are very expensive, and those that work for the wealthy are even more expensive. To get the highest-quality photos, they buy the best photography equipment, and the best equipment is naturally the most expensive.
Ruan Qi had previously thought that the people secretly photographing her and Wan Teng might be paparazzi seeking to attract traffic, but after Xixi's analysis, she realized her assumption was too simplistic.
The person who secretly photographed her was most likely a private investigator, and posting the photos of her and Wan Teng online wasn't necessarily for the purpose of attracting traffic.
Maybe - the other party simply wanted to discredit her.
Ruan Qi: "If they simply wanted to discredit me, then it shouldn't be as simple as just exposing the photos. What's going on online right now?"
Upon hearing this, Xixi immediately turned on his phone and his expression changed.
"Someone has uncovered Mr. Wan Teng's identity!"
Ruan Qi raised her eyebrows in surprise and leaned over to look at the phone screen.
There has been an uproar online.
[Oh my god! Someone has figured out the identity of the man in the photo. He's actually the CFO of Sun Flower!]
【??? Sun flower??? Are you talking about that famous sun flower?!】
[Who else could it be besides that? There's only one Sun Flower in the world, okay?! Holy shit, how the hell did Ruan Qi know such an awesome person?]
[Wait, I'm a little confused. Can someone explain to me what a sun flower is? Is it really that cool?]
Did the friend above just get internet access in their village? They don't even know Sun Flower. Sun Flower Group is one of the world's leading agricultural giants, integrating R&D, production, and sales, with operations worldwide. The fruits and vegetables you eat every day might be produced by Sun Flower Group!
[Pfft—Isn't this too exaggerated? China is a major agricultural country and doesn't need to import fruits and vegetables from abroad.]
[That fellow Chinese, the founder of Sun Flower Group, is a true Chinese! ]
Is the owner Chinese? Are you sure? Not some foreign Chinese?
[Of course not. Sun Flower has officially certified that their CEO, second-in-command, and many of the company's senior executives are all authentic Chinese, with ID cards and household registrations verifying their status.]
The two owners of Sun Flower apparently had family problems that prevented them from returning to China, forcing them to start their own business abroad. However, Sun Flower's headquarters have been relocating to China in recent years, and they reportedly have already chosen a headquarters location this year.
[Oh my god, he's so powerful! What's the identity of the man next to Xiao Qinglong? Is he a senior executive of Sun Flower?]
His name is Wan Teng, a top executive among executives, the CFO of Sun Flower! You know what a CFO is, right? It's the Chief Financial Officer, second only to the CEO, holding the financial sway over the entire group.
【!

[Isn't that the Minister of Revenue?!]
[That's pretty much it. Anyway, Wan Teng is very powerful. Few people in this circle don't know him. The first and second bosses of Sun Flower don't like to show up in the public eye, so Wan Teng is their chief spokesperson.]
[Oh my god, how did Xiao Qinglong know such an awesome person? What's their relationship? Is he really being kept as the rumors say?]
[With Xiao Qinglong's face, it's no surprise that she's being kept by such a powerful man. If I were that rich, I'd keep her too.]
Foreign netizens, that's enough. You're saying this about Long Shen because you think no one in China is standing up for her? And she's even being kept by someone. What kind of person is Long Shen that she needs to be kept by someone? Do you really think she's just an esports player?
If you don't know about the Dragon God, please go to Wikipedia and type in 'Ran Qi' to find out everything you need to know.
I absolutely refuse to believe that the Dragon God is being kept by Wan Teng. Wan Teng is certainly wealthy, but the Xi family's owner is even richer. Sun Flower may be powerful, but the Xi family is a hidden family that has been passed down from ancient times. Their status and wealth are unmatched by those on the rich list. With such a tall, rich, and handsome man by his side, why would the Dragon God fall for a middle-aged man?
[That's right! That Mr. Xi is practically smearing 'I like Ruan Qi' all over his face. The Dragon God would have to be out of his mind to pass up such a rich bachelor and become someone else's mistress.]
There are quite a few Chinese netizens on the foreign network. As everyone learns more, they gradually learn about Xiao Qinglong's other identities, as well as some rumors about her and the head of the Xi family.
The scandal between her and Wan Teng gradually subsided thanks to the efforts of Chinese netizens.
Ruan Qi didn't expect that her compatriots would be so helpful. Before she had time to clarify, they helped her settle the matter.
Ruan Qi couldn't help but frown when she thought about herself competing abroad with so many lovely compatriots standing behind her.
She thought about it and opened the photo album on her phone.
"What is the baby going to do?" Xi Jiu asked her.
Ruan Qi replied while searching through the photo album, "Clarification. Everyone's working so hard to help me, I can't just sit there and do nothing. Ah... I found it, this is it!"
Upon hearing this, Xi Jiu turned around and looked over.
What Ruan Qi was looking for was an old photo.
The photo shows a little girl, about six or seven years old. She's wearing a white dress, her round face chubby with the usual childish chub. Her crescent-shaped eyes, smiling like crescents, already hint at the delicacy and brightness of adulthood.
