Chapter 46 Friends【VIP】
[I've taken so many valuable photos. How much hush money are you planning to pay to keep them all safe?]
[Reply, big star! If you don't, I'll expose you for being a big shot and maliciously driving away your fans!]
[I'll give you five minutes. If you keep pretending to be dead, I'll post it online. Get ready to be scolded!]
The phone in the assistant's pocket kept vibrating, but she stood aside with her head down and a calm expression, without any urge to take a look at the phone.
On the sofa, a beautiful woman was boredly flipping through the script in her hands. She seemed to be annoyed by the loud vibration. Her eyebrows furrowed and she looked straight at the assistant, "Is it done?"
The assistant nodded slightly, quickly took out her phone from her pocket and handed it over respectfully, "Miss, please take a look."
The woman lowered her eyes and glanced at the content on her phone. She waved her hand impatiently, "Now that the fish has been hooked, just delete it. It's so annoying that it keeps ringing."
The assistant nodded in agreement. Just as she blocked the person on the other end of the line, she heard the woman in front of her mutter, "You said, that bitch Yan Zhuyin has been despised by President Li. Should I go on another variety show to fan her flames?"
After waiting for nearly three hours, Zhou Yan stared at the unresponsive chat page, her heart filled with uneasy anxiety.
She exited WeChat, opened the call log, and dialed the number of the person on the other end.
The female voice was still there, but the words had changed.
"Beep~ Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
Zhou Yan hung up the phone angrily, "That person blocked me!"
Zhou Ming looked at the big words "Fight Again" on the screen and turned off his phone in frustration. He looked at Zhou Yan beside him and said impatiently, "Didn't she contact you at noon to say she would buy the photos? Why did that woman change her mind so quickly?"
Zhou Yan sneered: "Oh, most likely she thinks these photos won't affect her at all!"
The money that was about to be in his hands flew away, and Zhou Ming's heart skipped a beat: "Then we..."
"That woman even deleted my photos. I didn't expect my photo album was always connected to the cloud drive." Zhou Yan's eyes flashed maliciously. She opened Weibo, selected a few photos of Yan Jie, and edited the message. "I'll show you, I'm not that easy to offend."

Qi Siling called at eight o'clock in the morning. Yan Jie was off today and slept in for a rare time. She went to bed late yesterday and was still dazed when she answered the phone.
Before Yan Jie could say anything, Qi Siling on the other end hurriedly interrupted, "Yinyin, don't go out these few days! Don't answer any unfamiliar calls!"
She accidentally touched the hands-free button, and Yan Jie was so scared that her scalp exploded and she woke up with a start.
Qi Siling rarely loses her composure like this. With such a tone and such content, her negative news is likely to be on the hot search again.
Did the news of her being kept get out? Or was she being accused of being a big shot and bullying newcomers again?
"Sister Ling, this is not the first time I've been hacked. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that I'm going to be banned from the entire Internet?" She joked with Qi Siling while maintaining the call and opening Weibo.
There is no need to search specifically, the trending searches one, two, three, four and five are all her negative news.
Yan Jie stared at the big "explosion" words in confusion. It had only been less than a day since she broke up with Li Yingqi, and someone was already displeased with her and was out to step on her?
"Yan Zhuyin has been linked to multiple men. Is this a popular actress who's going to the adult entertainment industry with a price tag?" Yan Jie read out the headline and couldn't help but laugh. "Ha, a million dollars a night? This guy's really audacious. Li Yingqi only gives me 300,000 yuan a month in pocket money. If someone was willing to pay me that much, I would have kicked that stingy guy out long ago."
Qi Siling was on the verge of collapse: "It's already this late and you're still laughing! We haven't found the source of the leak yet, but it's definitely premeditated and organized. Someone in the comments section has already leaked your contact information and address!"
Yan Jie coughed dryly and said, "I'm not laughing. For something like this that's based on hearsay, why not just remove the trending search?"
"We've already withdrawn several entries, but new ones pop up every now and then. Now people are suspecting we're guilty and want to cover our mouths. Think about it, what god have we offended in the past two days?"
"There are too many people like this, I can't remember them all." Yan Jie knew that she would most likely encounter this disaster after leaving Li Yingqi. She didn't expect these people to act so quickly. How long have they been staring at her?
She comforted Qi Siling on the other end: "It's okay, let the bullets fly for a while, I won't go out these few days."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Jie browsed the trending searches.
She ignored the overwhelming mockery and abuse in private messages, and watched the fans, anti-fans, and passers-by who were unaware of the truth quarreling under the hot searches, and couldn't help but give the fans a thumbs up.
Not long after, the other cell phone she placed on the table began to vibrate violently again. Yan Jie remembered Qi Siling's advice and ignored it.
She turned over and looked at the comments section.
The phone rang for a while and then stopped. She just felt that her ears were much quieter, and the next moment, Weibo came.
Qi Siling: Stop brushing!
Qi Siling: Yinyin, you didn’t switch numbers, take it!
Work phone, Yan Jie quit Weibo guiltily and threw the phone aside with the screen off.
She said, how come even the secondary account has so many private messages.
I really haven't woken up yet and am almost unconscious. I'd better take another nap.
This was the fourteenth time Li Yingqi had looked at his phone this morning.
If someone clicks on his screen, they will find a WeChat chat box, and the last message was posted yesterday at noon.
Yan Jie is undoubtedly qualified as a pampered canary. She greets her sponsor every day, reports her itinerary on time, and gives her emotional value very well.
When Jiang Yan knocked on the door and came in, he saw the president looking at the report in his hand with a gloomy face, and his heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that some department made a mistake? Or is it that Hengan’s stock price plummeted?
Li Yingqi had been staring at the document for three minutes, his brows still furrowed. Jiang Yan tried to ask, "Boss Li, is there something wrong with the report that the sales department sent this morning?"
"No." He put down the document and looked straight at Jiang Yan. "Why do you ask?"
It's because of your Sima face that you're about to stare a hole in the paper.
Secretary Jiang smiled a typical smile and said, "Boss Li looked so serious. I thought something had gone wrong in the department."
"No." Li Yingqi said these two words coldly. He was silent for a moment, then spoke carefully, "I have a friend..."
Jiang Yan's body was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be able to hear Li Yingqi's "I Have a Friend" series in his lifetime.
After Li Yingqi finished speaking, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a while before continuing, "There's someone who used to send him messages every day, but suddenly stopped today. Why?"
This is the longest conversation Li Yingqi has ever had with me!
Secretary Jiang said sternly, "Miss Yan's negative information has become a hot topic, so I may not have time to reply to your...friend's message this morning."
A trace of shame and anger flashed across Li Yingqi's face, "I didn't ask her!"
Jiang Yan nodded seriously: "Sorry, I made a slip of the tongue. Generally speaking, when this happens, it's very likely that the other party is no longer willing to be your friend's bootlicker."
"What?" Li Yingqi frowned.
"A lickspittle means one person overly flatters the other in an unequal relationship..."
Li Yingqi interrupted him coldly, "Secretary Jiang, I'm going online."
Jiang Yan pushed his glasses up: "Sorry, Mr. Li."
The CEO's office suddenly fell into silence. Just when Jiang Yan thought Li Yingqi would not continue this topic, he heard him say, "She is not a bootlicker. My friend and she are in a relationship and they have a very good relationship."
Jiang Yan almost couldn't keep his poker face. The words turned around a few times on his lips, but he couldn't help but say: "Your friend's friend may not think so. In her opinion, they probably have a special contractual relationship."
"Impossible." Li Yingqi blurted out, pursing his lips. "My friend and she have been together for five years. It's not because of the contract. She even expressed her feelings to my friend yesterday!"
Secretary Jiang observed the CEO's expression and asked a series of follow-up questions, "Has your friend confessed his feelings to her? When did they officially confirm their relationship? Have they ever said they love each other?"
With every word he spoke, Li Yingqi's expression became uglier.
Secretary Jiang felt like he might have learned some incredible secret, but he resisted the pressure and insisted on asking the last question: "You said she expressed her feelings. What did she say?"
Li Yingqi's eyebrows knitted together, "She ended the confidentiality agreement early."
Secretary Jiang: “…”
Do you think that ending the relationship of support is a confession of love?
He couldn't understand Mr. Li's train of thought and silently shed tears for Miss Yan in his heart.
He looked at Li Yingqi with a hint of pity in his eyes, and said earnestly: "Mr. Li, these are probably all your friend's imagination. A normal relationship starts with a bouquet of flowers and a formal confession. This kind of relationship that relies on imagination is generally called—"
"Pu Xin."
Li Yingqi: “…”
Secretary Jiang stopped there and waited for a while. When he didn't hear any more questions from the president, he prepared to leave and go back to work.
"The negative trending searches about Yan Zhuyin have been removed. Let the public relations department clarify." Li Yingqi said without raising his head while processing documents.
"Okay, Mr. Li."

Ye Qianxi knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
"Mr. Lin, Xinrui Technology has issued an announcement that their holographic technology has been developed in advance, and a press conference will be held next week." Ye Qianxi pushed his glasses and placed a document in front of Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhihua frowned slightly as she quickly flipped through the analysis report. "So fast? Where is our research and development at?"
"Minister Jian said that it has passed the safety performance test and all that is left is a trial run to collect user feedback," said Ye Qianxi.
Lin Zhihua frowned slightly: "Notify the R&D department to hold an emergency meeting in half an hour."
