Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Boss's Operation
After replying this, she ignored the other party's constant questioning.
Aside from getting some necessary information, she really didn't want to chat with him. Two bitches! She was already angry just looking at their profile pictures, so how could she still have the leisure to chat and laugh with them?
However, facing the WeChat account of "crush", she needs to be feigned and maintain normality for three days so as not to let the other party discover any clues.
Ji Hanxi thought uncertainly, Vivienne is such a sensitive person, he can quickly sense almost all of her emotional changes, so this time... has he also discovered that she knows the truth?
She kept her state the same as usual, and tried to keep the tone and frequency of her replies consistent.
Despite this effort, she wasn't sure if he'd noticed. The messages he'd sent her were all normal, as gentle, patient, and thoughtful as ever.
Being too normal almost seems abnormal. Did he really not notice? Or did he already know but not expose it? Why didn't he expose it? Did he already have a solution? Or was he just trying to maintain this illusory bubble of happiness and couldn't bear to burst it?
The last reason was an absurd thought that had inexplicably popped up in her mind. It was too ridiculous to dwell on, and when she did, it was incredibly laughable. School was about to start, and Ji Hanxi applied to her counselor for permission to return to campus early, which was approved with almost no fuss. She returned to her dorm, put her things away, and began searching online for agreements...
The agreed day soon arrived, and Ji Hanxi went to the company with the printed agreement.
The company's annual holiday is only about ten days, and after the Spring Festival, many people have already started working.
Someone familiar saw her and greeted her with a smile. Ji Hanxi smiled back and stopped to ask, "Are the boss and Vivienne in the company?"
"Oh, yes, it's on the 13th floor, in Vivienne's office. The boss just went upstairs."
"Okay, thank you."
She thanked me and left. Instead of taking the elevator to the 13th floor, she took the elevator to the 12th floor and then took the stairs. She had specially worn soft-soled shoes today, so her steps made almost no sound.
When she reached the corner of the stairs, she stopped there. It was a blind spot that allowed her to observe others.
The people in the office obviously didn't see her and were talking about something among themselves.
"Did she say anything to you? Three days ago, she suddenly told me that there was good news waiting for us. I don't know what the good news is? To be honest, I'm quite curious. What kind of good news is so serious? Hahahaha." The boss, wearing his brand-name sports suit, said with a smile, without any alertness of impending storm.
"I don't know..." Vivienne's condition was obviously not as relaxed as his.
After a winter vacation, his hair had grown longer and was probably dyed again. Compared to the previous champagne gold, the current color was more platinum, noble and cool.
She looked slightly haggard, and even with makeup covering her face, her weariness was evident. While talking to her boss, she lowered her brows and stared at her phone, not knowing what she was looking at.
Ji Hanxi opened her phone, found Crush's WeChat, and clicked on the video call...
"Do you think she'll discover some new talent that could make her IP even more profitable?"
As soon as the boss finished speaking, Vivienne's phone rang. It was a request for a video call.
The clear and loud ringing sound was like a huge rock hitting the water, breaking all the calm and self-deception.
Vivienne didn't touch the phone. She just looked at the page, her face pale and dejected. Even the gorgeous makeup couldn't hide the paleness on her face.
The phone kept ringing, and it had been ringing for so long that it was noisy and disruptive. The boss didn't understand why he didn't answer the phone or hang up, and looked at him with a puzzled look on his face.
Ji Hanxi walked over step by step, holding the phone, leaning against the door frame, and said, "Answer it, why don't you answer it?"
When she appeared, Vivienne looked up at her in surprise, and the boss also turned to look at her in surprise.
Ji Hanxi glanced past the boss and looked straight at Vivienne, "Didn't you say to wait for next time? The next time is now, take the video!"
The boss looked at the situation in front of him in confusion and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's going on? What are you doing? What's next time? What's the video call?"
When Ji Hanxi put the phone page in front of him and he saw the black avatar, he instantly understood everything.
His face turned pale, and he stammered, "This, this, this... no..."
He had been wondering why Vivienne looked so unhappy, but now he understood that Ji Hanxi had discovered the secret of this WeChat message.
Seeing her aggressive look, she was obviously very angry. The boss wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start. No matter how many reasons he gave, he couldn't change the fact that she had cheated.
Vivienne stretched out her slender hand, hesitated for a moment on the phone page, and finally clicked to connect.
The death-like ringing sound disappeared, and Vivienne's beautiful face appeared on Ji Hanxi's phone screen. If the previous evidence was speculation, inference, suspicion, clues, and fragments.
Now, here is the most direct evidence.
"You deserve to die!" She said this hatefully, then hung up the video call forcefully.
"Hanxi, things are not what you think. I feel like you have some misunderstanding..." Seeing that the situation was not right, the boss wanted to come out to smooth things over.
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? This WeChat ID wasn't originally from Vivienne, did I mistake it for Vivienne? Or was it that the person I was chatting with during winter break wasn't Vivienne, did I mistake it for Vivienne? Tell me, what's the misunderstanding?"
"No, no... no... that's not what I meant." The boss was at a loss for words. He had used the word "misunderstanding" as an excuse, but when he was suddenly pressed so seriously, he was at a loss for words.
"That's not what you meant? What does that mean? You two teamed up to deceive me, is that fun? Isn't it just that I discovered it in advance and prevented your plan of humiliation from succeeding? Is there any need to be so disappointed and depressed? Boss, I really didn't think you would lie to me. I have no grudge against you. Why would you treat the bloggers signed by the company like this? What's in it for you? Because Vivienne is a big blogger, you put her first in everything. After he came up with this plan, you acted as his accomplice and assisted him. How disgusting and despicable! But you didn't expect me to discover it in advance. Now you are surprised, right? This is the 'good news' I want to tell you, a surprise! Surprise?"
"No, no, no, that's not the case... When you first asked me for my mixed-race cousin's WeChat, I wanted to give you his. But while looking for his WeChat, I realized his profile picture looked very similar to Vivienne's second account. On a whim, I gave you Vivienne's. Vivienne didn't know about this and I never mentioned it to her again. From the moment I met Vivienne, I've never seen her take anything seriously. But when we first met at the company, he suddenly recommended you to me, and it seemed like he cared about you. I was curious and wanted to try it out with this WeChat account. When I gave it to you, I didn't think you'd be able to add it successfully... I was just joking. I didn't mean to lie to you, and I didn't collude with Vivienne to help you."
It would have been fine if he didn't explain. Once he did, Ji Hanxi became even angrier. She sneered, "You're just kidding..."
"I was really just joking. I thought you couldn't add him on WeChat, so I gave it to you. I was really just curious and didn't intend to lie to you. What I thought at the time was that since you couldn't add him on WeChat, I would say you pushed the wrong WeChat and then give you my mixed-race cousin's. I didn't expect you to add him, and I didn't expect it to develop into the current situation."
"Why didn't you give me the correct WeChat ID after I added you? Why didn't you give me the correct WeChat ID after I added you?"
"this……"
"Because you're curious, right? Curious about how things will develop between me and Vivienne, right?"
"yes……"
"This is just a joke, just out of curiosity... but have you ever thought about the impact this will have on me? Have you ever considered how I feel? You think Vivienne cares about me, but what about me? Do I care about Vivienne? Why should I give him my WeChat account just because he cares about me? Why? You guys are so noble, you guys are so amazing. A company boss, a top anchor, the feelings of a small person like me are definitely not worth your concern, am I right?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"Stop pretending, you did it on purpose." Ji Hanxi frowned, exposed his hypocritical apology, and continued to hold him accountable sharply.
"I get it. Are you trying to establish some kind of bohemian persona? You think you're playing around with the world, that you're in control, that you're some mysterious figure behind the scenes. You think Vivienne has feelings for me, so you want to give it a try. If we end up together, you'll jump out and take the credit, acting like some prophetic matchmaker, saying things that are exactly what I expected. If we don't end up together, you'll say it was all a joke and that no one should take it seriously. Do you think this is all a game, and you're the carefree mortal toying with everyone?"
The boss's face turned even paler after what she said, as if she had discovered some deep secret.
"You're almost 30, don't you think this is childish? Oh, I almost forgot, you're so unrestrained and playing around in the world, how can you be childish? Right? A carefree human being? At your age, don't you think you can be more mature? Are you only a few years old? Do you think that as long as you say the word 'joking', you don't have to take responsibility for the consequences of your mistakes? Hahahaha, how funny!"
Ji Hanxi's laughter was sharp and mean, like a sharp needle piercing the heart, and the boss's face slowly turned red.
"No... I haven't thought about it that way. I was at fault in this matter, and I will take responsibility for the consequences. How do you want me to apologize?"
"Apologize? Apologies are the most useless thing." Ji Hanxi pulled out one of the many agreements and handed it to him. "Our contract was originally for one year, and there are still six months left as of today. If you sincerely want to express your apology to me, just sign this new agreement."
As the boss lowered his head to look at the agreement, Vivienne said, "Do you still want to talk to him? If not, let him go first and we can talk."
"Okay, let's talk."
After the boss left, the heavy glass door closed, leaving only the two of them in the room.
If the boss is the instigator of the crime and the beginning of everything, then the person in front of her is the sharp knife that hurts her the most deeply and painfully.
He looked at her and whispered, "He really hasn't told me about the WeChat thing from the beginning until now. But... when you added that number, combined with the subsequent chats, I vaguely guessed everything."
"Since you've already guessed it, why don't you explain it clearly? Aren't you just trying to play a trick on me?"
"No, I won't play tricks on you. I know that once you realize you added the wrong person, you'll definitely try every possible means to add him on WeChat, but I won't allow that to happen."
Ji Hanxi found it a bit amusing. How could he say such things so confidently and without hesitation? Compared to the boss's quick kneeling, his arrogant attitude was even worse and more infuriating!
And from the tone of his voice, it seems that he would still do the same thing even if it happened a hundred times. He is really stubborn and refuses to change. Damn it, this bitch!
