Chapter 40
After coming out of the detention room, Xia Ruirui returned to the hotel.
She first sorted out the evidence and screenshots from that time, as well as Zhang Ye's handwritten letter of guarantee, and sent a copy to his unit.
The introducer introduced his job before we even met. It was a unit in Xijing, and it was a state-owned enterprise.
His boss called Xia Ruirui shortly after receiving her email.
They said they would not show favoritism and if everything was true, they would handle it according to the rules and regulations.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruirui went to the train station to pick up Shen Qingli and Gu Zijin.
Shen Qingli's eyes reddened the moment she saw her. She hugged Xia Ruirui and said in a choked voice, "Thank goodness you're okay."
After following this farce, she had somewhat forgotten about the earthquake she experienced in Yunjin.
It was not until Shen Qingli mentioned it that Xia Ruirui remembered the thrill of that time. She patted her friend on the back and felt a little emotional.
"It's great to still be alive and see you all."
Gu Zijin looked at the two people who were getting along so well, and looked at her with amusement: "Xia Ruirui, where is Chen Yuqing?"
Thinking of someone still in the detention room, Xia Ruirui paused.
Because the circumstances were not very serious, and the police retrieved surveillance footage from around the alley, it was confirmed that Zhang Ye was following her.
But Shen Yuqing started the fight first, and since he had previously assaulted Zhang Ye, he would be detained for three days.
Xia Ruirui glanced at Gu Zijin, still wondering whether he knew about what happened six years ago.
However, Gu Zijin only glanced at her and guessed something, and asked confidently, "Something happened."
Shen Qingli had no idea that Shen Yuqing had a criminal record, and was a little confused when she heard it: "What happened?"
Xia Ruirui looked at the two of them and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back to the hotel."
After arriving at the hotel, Shen Qingli and Gu Zijin put down their luggage and went to Xia Ruirui's room.
“What happened to Shen Yuqing?”
Xia Ruirui said calmly: "Zhang Ye followed me, and Shen Yuqing suddenly appeared and beat him."
She paused, looked at Gu Zijin, and said something tentatively: "Zhang Ye said that Shen Yuqing beat him six years ago."
Shen Qingli was completely dumbfounded and looked at Gu Zijin beside her.
Gu Zijin was silent for a while, then compromised under Shen Qingli's gaze and said, "That's indeed the case."
"..." Shen Qingli was a little bit unbelievable, "You and Shen Yuqing actually kept it a secret from me, and it was in vain that I tipped him off every time."
Realizing something, she covered her mouth and looked back at Xia Ruirui awkwardly.
"..." Xia Ruirui looked at her, her face dark. "It was you, the traitor, who told Shen Yuqing again this time?"
"It's not me, it's really not your concubine this time~" Shen Qingli was possessed by the spirit of acting and hugged Xia Ruirui's arm in a flattering manner.
"Then how come he happened to meet me at that time?" Xia Ruirui didn't believe it.
Thinking of something, the two of them looked at the silent Gu Zijin in unison.
“…This time it’s me.”
“…”
Xia Ruirui pursed her lips and just wanted to roll her eyes in her heart.
Later, Gu Zijin talked about what happened at that time, and also said that Shen Yuqing started live streaming in order to repay the 50,000 yuan he owed to Zhang Ye.
Hearing that she was partly responsible for Chen Yuqing becoming an e-sports anchor, Xia Ruirui felt mixed emotions...
*
Five days later, the three went to the police station to pick up Shen Yuqing, but were told that the person had already been taken away.
It was a woman who came to pick him up.
When Xia Ruirui heard that it was a woman who came to pick him up, although she didn't show it on her face, her heart ached.
Shen Qingli was about to call to question Shen Yuqing, but was stopped by Xia Ruirui.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. Xia Ruirui looked at the two of them and said, "Then I'll leave first. We'll meet again next time."
Shen Qingli guessed that she was secretly sad again. Every time Xia Ruirui was sad, she would hide away alone and lick her wounds secretly.
But she also knew that she preferred to be alone, so she didn't try to keep him.
"Remember to send me a message when you get to Beiyi."
"good."
After Xia Ruirui walked away, Shen Qingli nudged Gu Zijin with her elbow and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone:
"Go ask your good friend which woman he is hooking up with?"
“…”
Everyone thought that the matter was over after Shen Yuqing was detained, but who knew there would be a follow-up.
*
Beiyi City.
Xia Ruirui was lying on the bed in the apartment, watching a TV series, when she received a pop-up news from a certain blog.
Big news: A blogger with millions of followers actually only has a junior high school education and a criminal record for fighting.
[Tonight at 8 o'clock, Dagua live broadcast room will reveal the news on time! ]
Xia Ruirui originally felt a little bored, so she casually scrolled through the comment section, only to see that someone in the comment section actually mentioned Shen Yuqing's name.
"I think he's talking about the esports blogger who caused a lot of controversy a while ago and withdrew from the competition."
"Oh my god, is this true? I like him so much, but my relationship with him is about to collapse."
"But when I saw him speak, I felt that he was not very educated. I guess his junior high school education is true."
…
It would have been fine if she hadn't read it, but after reading the comment section, Xia Ruirui was so angry that she almost died.
The e-sports blogger who recently withdrew from the competition still has millions of fans. The targeting is so obvious that he almost revealed Shen Yuqing’s ID card.
How come the top scorer in the 16th high school entrance examination in Xijing City has no culture?
Furthermore, Shen Yuqing's college entrance exam score was a full 35 points higher than Xijing University's, so how could he only have a junior high school diploma?
Unable to hold back, she angrily made a comment.
She spoke with reason and evidence, without any emotion, but who knew that the keyboard warrior on the opposite side would actually call her Shen Yuqing's dog.
She also said how much money Shen Yuqing gave her, and why she was so protective of her master.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xia Ruirui was so angry that she laughed. Just when she was about to start a quarrel with the keyboard warrior, she found that her comment had been deleted.
Or the author of the video deleted it herself, and only deleted her comment.
Negative comments against Shen Yuqing are still there.
Realizing something, Xia Ruirui calmed down and thought about it. She realized that the author was targeting Shen Yuqing and had posted this video specifically.
But how did they know that Shen Yuqing had a record of assaulting someone?
Thinking of something, Xia Ruirui found the phone number that Zhang Ye’s boss had called her last time and dialed it.
After learning that Zhang Ye had been fired, she also understood what the revelation was about.
It was probably because the stalker was furious and wanted to destroy Shen Yuqing as well.
She compiled a document statement, which contained evidence that Zhang Ye was following her, as well as two explanations about Shen Yuqing's criminal record.
But she was worried that if she rashly posted it online, it would disrupt Shen Yuqing's public relations.
So he sent all of this to Shen Yuqing on WeChat, wanting to ask what he thought.
However, Shen Yuqing actually called her five minutes later.
And told her not to meddle in other people's business.
She was speechless at first, but after calming down, she retorted that he was implicated because of her.
However, Shen Yuqing still repeated, telling her not to meddle in other people's business.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ruirui was also angry.
In a solitary apartment, she drew the curtains and turned off the lights because she was watching a movie at the beginning.
Xia Ruirui looked at the dim ceiling, and thought of the tone in which Shen Yuqing had just told her not to meddle in other people’s business, and she laughed angrily.

On the other side, Xijing City.
In the studio, everyone was developing an emergency response plan, and the entire office was filled with the sound of typing keyboards.
As soon as Shen Yuqing hung up the phone with Xia Ruirui, he looked at the wall in silence, not knowing what he was thinking.
The online public opinion became more and more intense, and even sponsors and investors called to ask whether this matter was true or not.
The matter of his criminal record was imminent and a good response was urgently needed.
However, this was not what annoyed him now.
What Shen Yuqing was thinking was - did Xia Ruirui and Ji Chuyao rekindle their old love after graduation?
That's why Xia Ruirui pushed him away again and again.
Or have they already secretly decided to spend their lives together and agreed to grow old together?
When Shen Yuqing thought that Xia Ruirui might have also teased Ji Chuyao, he felt extremely annoyed.
He was still thinking when he was interrupted by the sound of someone pushing the door open.
He looked back impatiently. It was Li Juan, and next to her was the green tea niece she brought with her last time to compete in Beiyi.
Her name seems to be Tingting.
He didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them coldly.
Li Juan thought he was worried about public opinion and gave a wink to her niece beside him.
Li Yunting took a few steps in the direction of Shen Yuqing, and looked at her aunt with some confusion.
Li Juan was very disappointed: "You are so tactless. Why don't you massage Yu Qing's shoulders to help him relax."
When he saw her niece, Shen Yuqing guessed that Li Juan was going to make trouble again.
But he really didn't have the heart to deal with her right now, he just wanted to get rid of her quickly.
He made a gesture, indicating Li Yunting to stay away from him, and looked at Li Juan beside him.
"What did you bring your niece to the studio for?"
Li Yunting stood behind Li Juan honestly after hearing this. Li Juan looked at Shen Yuqing with a flattering attitude and a caring tone of an elder.
"Yu Qing, since the studio has been so busy these days, I'll call Tingting over to be your secretary for a while and take good care of you."
Li Juan's plan was so well-known that even Yang Chunchun and Zhang Xiaotiao, who were eavesdropping outside the door, noticed it.
The two exchanged glances and began to wait for Shen Yuqing's reaction.
Yang Chunchun looked at Zhang Xiaotiao who was standing beside her. "Do you think the boss will let her come to the studio?"
Unlike her, Zhang Xiaotiao had actually seen how much Shen Yuqing loved Xia Ruirui, so he was very sure of what she said.
"Brother Chen is willing to risk his life for Sister Ruirui, how could he possibly agree to let Li Juan keep her green tea niece."
After saying that, as if it wasn’t enough, he added, “And Brother Shen isn’t interested in women.”
Zhang Xiaotiao knew this very well.
Over the years, at drinking parties or dinner parties, there were so many beautiful women among the anchors, but Brother Chen never even glanced at them.
What's more, Li Yunting is just an average-looking girl, so it definitely won't happen.
However, Yang Chunchun was somewhat hesitant to agree. No matter how beautiful Sister Ruirui was, she could not resist the initiative of the green tea girl.
In addition, Sister Ruirui was always bare-faced, and next to Shen Yuqing was a charming green tea, so she was afraid that he would lose control.
Not only the two people eavesdropping outside, but also the two people in the office were holding their breath, waiting for Shen Yuqing’s answer.
Shen Yuqing was already upset and didn't bother to deal with the two of them, so she asked Li Juan to pay her according to the intern's salary.
Upon hearing this, Li Juan was overjoyed, with a look of pride in her eyes.
It was as if he had already seen his niece's leisurely second half of her life after she took down Shen Yuqing.
"Then I'll put Tingting at the workstation closest to you. Feel free to call her if you need anything."
After she finished speaking, she dragged her niece away and considerately closed the door for Shen Yuqing.
The aunt and nephew in the office were so happy that they didn't know what to do, but the two people who were eavesdropping outside the office were shocked.
Li Juan alone is difficult to deal with. If her niece comes to the studio, what will happen to my future work life?
But when they saw Li Juan was about to come out, they hurried back to their workstations.
Yang Chunchun looked at Li Yunting's top that revealed most of her cleavage and her skirt that couldn't be any shorter, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
How can this be a job?
He was afraid that no one knew that she was here to be the boss's shameful secretary.
Moreover, Li Juan, the bully who only cares about the weak and the strong, actually knew that Shen Yuqing had a lover, and even pushed her niece over as a concubine.
The aunt and nephew are greedy for money.
She felt sorry for Xia Ruirui in her heart and angrily scolded Shen Yuqing for being a scumbag.
She winked at the assistant beside her, and the two of them walked into the tea room one after the other.
"I'm so disappointed with the boss. I didn't expect him to be like this, a man who has his cake and eats it too!" Yang Chunchun was a little indignant.
Thinking of Sister Ruirui's fairy-like smile when they first met, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Xia Ruirui.
She cursed again: "Scumbag."
Zhang Xiaotiao was silent just now, but when he heard Yang Chunchun calling Brother Chen a scumbag, he retorted.
"Although, Brother Chen risked his life to go find Sister Ruirui, so he can't be considered a scumbag."
When Yang Chunchun heard him mention this, it was like a punch on cotton.
In fact, she didn't think Shen Yuqing was a scumbag in her heart, she was just fighting for Sister Ruirui and was speechless for a moment.
The two were still gossiping in the tea room when they heard a sound coming from the trash can.
Realizing that someone had overheard their conversation, the two looked at each other and cautiously glanced outside.
I saw Shen Yuqing leaving
As if to let them know that he had heard their conversation, he deliberately threw a paper cup into the trash can.
There was still coffee in the paper cup, which he had thrown away halfway through drinking it.
“…”
Both of them were startled. Zhang Xiaotiao looked at her with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "It's all your fault."
Yang Chunchun looked at him with regret in his eyes: "Do you think I will be unemployed tomorrow?"
Zhang Xiaotiao couldn't even protect himself, and looked helpless.
In the office, Shen Yuqing looked at the documents expressionlessly, thinking of the gossip he had just heard from his subordinates in the tea room.
Who is the scumbag after all?
He had clearly proposed to Xia Ruirui and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.
It was that scumbag Xia Ruirui who pushed him away again and again, and even teased him after pushing him away.
Who is the scumbag?
This bunch of good-for-nothing PR guys couldn't write clearly, so they went to the tea room to slack off and gossip, but they couldn't understand the gossip either.
The memories that had been buried by him were reopened. Thinking of the sweet interaction between Xia Ruirui and Ji Chuyao at the Yunjin support point, his heart was filled with sourness.
This woman who attracts many people.
When she was in school, the woman had a face that attracted many men, and seniors and juniors would always try to pay attention to her.
Although Xia Ruirui refused at that time, there were still people who continued to come forward.
The office door was pushed open again and Li Yunting walked in.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she kept twisting her butt when she walked.
Shen Yuqing looked at her coldly, looking at the career line outlined by her tight shirt, but his eyes were calm.
He watched her place the coffee next to his hand, her fingers touching his intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Yuqing calmly moved his hand away from the table and waited until she put down the coffee before picking it up.
He didn't drink a sip, but said the coffee was too hot.
Li Yunting was a little confused: "But you didn't drink it."
Shen Yuqing’s expression remained the same: “I said it’s too hot.”
Li Yunting went in and out several times, and even deliberately lifted her skirt a few inches.
However, every time she entered the office to show her courtesy, she was criticized by Shen Yuqing with cold words.
After a few times, she realized that he was deliberately making things difficult for her, and she stopped coming over in shame.
