Disappointment accumulates gradually. Huo Jincheng's indecisiveness in matters of the heart during this period caused Huo Linyuan's trust and expectations of him to plummet. He even began to worry that if Huo Jincheng were to be handed over to him, it would be questionable whether Huo Group could survive for ten years, given Huo Jincheng's way of handling things.
Huo Linyuan said he didn't care, so Assistant Lin stopped bothering him about it and left with his phone.
If Huo Linyuan could just glance at his phone, he would have found the person he was so desperately looking for was in the online post.
...
Live broadcast of the program.
Huo Jincheng and Ji Xinxin's faces were as ugly as could be; they could even imagine how nasty the online insults were.
Originally, according to the plan, they were supposed to change netizens' opinions through their interactions and make them think that they were a perfect match. Who knew that Yu Chaoxi would start by getting close to her and go all out? Now everyone thinks he is a scumbag who abandoned his ex-girlfriend and Xin Xin is a homewrecker. Who would still think their interactions are sweet?
Ji Xinxin's eyes were red. She wiped her tears with her back to the camera and shook her head, saying, "Ms. Yu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come back to China. Although Jincheng and I have known each other since college, you have been by Jincheng's side for the past year and a half, helping him through his loneliest time. I am very grateful to you."
"There's something I don't want to mention, but what you just said could easily be misunderstood by netizens, so I have to clarify. Actually, if it weren't for you, I probably would have returned to China a year ago to develop my career and be with Jincheng. I heard he has a girlfriend who looks a lot like me, which is why I gave up going back to China..."
She knew that she could no longer deny her relationship with Huo Jincheng under these circumstances. Netizens weren't stupid, so she simply admitted it and put herself in a more advantageous position.
Ji Xinxin's words energized her fans once again, and the live stream chat was flooded with comments.
So Yu Chaoxi is the third party!
[Oh my god! Are they college sweethearts? I'm shipping them!]
[Xin Xin is so pitiful. She wanted to go back to China to find her first love, but found that a substitute had taken his place. How heartbroken she must have been!]
[I knew Yu was no good. She was clearly a homewrecker, yet she was still being sarcastic and mean. She deserved to be dumped!]
Huo Jincheng was deeply moved, not expecting such a thing to happen.
Many netizens didn't understand the truth, and after hearing her say that, the comments in the live stream immediately sided with Ji Xinxin.
At this moment, Guan Jingxue, who had been standing silently to the side with her arms crossed, suddenly spoke up, "Then why did you come back again?"
"I... I just wanted to come back and develop my career, I didn't want to cause such a big commotion," Ji Xinxin said, tears streaming down her face.
Guan Jingxue scoffed, clearly showing no sympathy.
Guan Jingxue has several times more fans than Ji Xinxin, and as soon as she spoke, her fans flooded the screen with support.
As everyone knows, Xuebao is an expert at spotting manipulative women. She can tell how old a green tea like Ji Xinxin is just by smelling her.
[Actually, I wanted to say this earlier. Ji Xinxin said Yu Chaoxi was her stand-in, but Yu Chaoxi is clearly much prettier than her, and the two don't even look that alike.]
[Laughing Mouse, where did Ji Xinxin get the audacity to say that others are her stand-ins?]
[My values follow my looks; Yu Chaoxi is truly beautiful. Whatever, I'm a fan now.]
The internet is in an uproar.
"So, Young Master Huo admits that we have nothing to do with each other now?" Yu Chaoxi glanced at Huo Jincheng's obviously unhappy face and asked meaningfully.
She wanted to force Huo Jincheng to admit in public that they had broken up, so he would stop flirting with Ji Xinxin while being unwilling to break up with her and coming to her to disgust her.
Ji Xinxin shared the same idea as Huo Jincheng, wanting to force him to make a choice.
Huo Jincheng was in a difficult position. If he didn't admit to the breakup, Xin Xin would continue to be cyberbullied, but deep down he was reluctant to admit it.
Perhaps Yu Chaoxi is not someone who is dispensable to him.
Faced with Ji Xinxin's fixed gaze and Yu Chaoxi's seemingly mocking expression, Huo Jincheng slowly nodded, "Yes, we've broken up."
Yu Chaoxi smiled and cheered inwardly, finally cutting ties with that scumbag. In an instant, her gaze towards Huo Jincheng was filled with the loving kindness of an elder.
Seeing Yu Chaoxi's cheerful demeanor, Huo Jincheng's discomfort intensified, growing from five points to nine. He even harbored some resentment towards Yu Chaoxi forcing him to make a choice. Who else could she find after leaving him? Who could protect her in the cutthroat world of entertainment?
Just wait, she'll regret it someday.
Director Yang was overjoyed to see the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketing in less than an hour. Sure enough, drama and soap operas were needed to attract viewers and increase ratings.
Fearing they might start fighting if they continued talking, which would be counterproductive, Director Yang stepped in to interrupt them, saying, "Now that everyone has finished their introductions, let me talk about today's arrangements."
"Everyone has had a long journey today, so the production team has arranged hotels and lunch for you. As for the ingredients for tonight, you will need to obtain them through games."
"Ladies will draw lots to form teams. Our game is simple: a cookie-eating challenge. The team with the shortest remaining cookie wins. The teams ranked by cookie length will receive a seafood feast, the second-place team will receive a simple side dish, and the third-place team will receive two steamed buns."
Holy crap! Director Yang's stirring things up right from the start!
[To win at eating cookies, wouldn't it take two people kissing?]
[I can't even imagine what a chaotic scene it would be if Yu Chaoxi drew Huo Jincheng's name.]
Yu Chaoxi thought that if she drew Huo Jincheng's name, she would ask Director Yang for a clove of garlic and use it to suffocate him.
Fortunately, she didn't draw Huo Jincheng in the end, but the movie star Ning Zhiheng.
Ning Zhiheng smiled, "Pleasant to cooperate?"
...
"Mr. Huo, the missing cat notice has been posted." After the meeting, Assistant Lin reported to Huo Linyuan.
Although Huo Linyuan felt that posting missing cat notices was useless, it was the only way at the moment. He had already asked the police to check the surveillance footage within a five-kilometer radius of the villa, but they had not found any trace of the kitten.
She seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Huo Linyuan was filled with disappointment, his mind filled with the image of that little creature and what he had seen last night...
He regretted it, regretting why he hadn't woken her up last night to ask her clearly.
After the meeting, as he passed by the secretarial office area, his eyes inadvertently swept over the computer screen of a female secretary next to him. His gaze fell on the smiling woman, and he froze, stunned.
When Assistant Lin saw him stop, he followed his gaze and saw a female secretary slacking off. He coughed loudly to remind her.
"Cough cough!"
