Tang Zhi returned home this time hoping his family could help raise money so that villagers could invest in his company as shareholders, thus ensuring the company's cash flow would operate normally.
But it seemed that not only would he not get the money, he would also have to pay a sum of money. He didn't dare to stay any longer; he didn't even eat the dinner his family had specially prepared for him that day, and drove off immediately.
Tian Jun's second secretary, Xiao Liu, was in charge of keeping an eye on things in Chenjia Village. Upon discovering that Tang Zhi had returned to the city, he quickly notified Tian Jun.
Tian Jun told Chu Nian the news and asked, "Why are you watching Tang Zhi?" It's strange, why does he feel so uneasy? Is Chu Nian's watching Tang Zhi's movements related to him?
Then he asked a question that shocked even himself: "Are you still thinking about getting back together with him?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized something was off; why did they sound so sour and sarcastic?
Chu Nian coldly retorted, "What's it to you?"
Tian Jun thought to himself: I knew you would ask that!
He quickly said, "I participated in these operations." Isn't it normal to want to get to the bottom of things?
Chu Nian: "I told you, you're only responsible for taking action."
These words were like stabbing Tian Jun in the spine of his chauvinistic personality with a knife, making Tian Jun roar in anger: "I am not your slave."
Chu Nian: "I thought we had reached an agreement. Since you feel that doing these things is inappropriate, then we can terminate the contract, and I will find someone else to cooperate with."
"No need," Tian Jun quickly replied. He was joking; he had agreed to do these things for Chu Nian in exchange for three highly specialized technologies that would bring him immense benefits and glory in the future. He would absolutely not let them go.
Chu Nian: "Then don't ask so many questions in the future."
Tian Jun: "I'm just curious. I feel like you still care about Tang Zhi."
Chu Nian gave a faint "hmm". She did care, she cared about how to deal with Tang Zhi in a way that would satisfy the original owner, and how to make the original owner's hatred disappear.
“Huh?” Tian Jun asked in surprise, his eyes wide.
Chu Nian was quite puzzled by his reaction. She frowned and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" Tian Jun's breathing was uneven, and he looked annoyed for some reason, as if someone had just stolen hundreds of his business deals.
Seeing this, Chu Nian asked again, "Has someone snatched your important project again?" Last time, when she sold a technology to Tian Jun's rival, Tian Jun came looking for her in this state.
"No," Tian Jun said irritably.
Chu Nian suddenly said, "By the way, have you heard? Lin Xinwan is actually Mrs. Lu's biological daughter, and Lu Yaoyao is Mr. Lu's daughter with another woman."
Tian Jun chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to care about this kind of gossip." He paused, then added, "Is it because this gossip is related to Lin Xinwan? You're paying attention to Lin Xinwan because she tried to interfere in your relationship with Tang Zhi, right? Do you even know that you and Tang Zhi broke up a long time ago?"
Chu Nian stared at him, wondering what was wrong with him, why he looked so jealous and possessive. She wasn't anyone to him!
Tian Jun questioned, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chu Nian: "You get so agitated whenever I mention anything or anyone related to Tang Zhi. Are you jealous?"
"I..." Tian Jun's face immediately turned bright red. "Why would I be jealous? What kind of jealousy could I possibly have? I'm not jealous at all!"
Chu Nian: "Really not?"
Tian Jun stubbornly insisted, "No!"
Chu Nian said seriously, "That's good! Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend!"
As for her, once the original owner's resentment dissipates, her soul will be extracted, and she cannot have any emotional entanglement with these characters in the book.
Tian Jun snorted coldly, it was unclear whether he had taken Chu Nian's words to heart.
Chu Nian calculated the time and guessed that her relationship with important figures such as Lu Yaoyao and Lin Xinwan had changed slightly. She wondered if the Lu family would still try to pin Lu Yaoyao's crimes on her like when the original owner was around, and even hire online trolls and haters to help her, deliberately shifting the focus of the entire internet from Lu Yaoyao to her.
This time, unlike the original owner, she didn't frequently visit the Lu family to chat and go shopping with Lu Yaoyao. After Lin Xinwan entered the Lu family, she and Lin Xinwan rarely interacted. Logically speaking, Lu's father shouldn't be able to produce any evidence that she "bullied" Lin Xinwan.
But reality often unfolds in ways that exceed people's imagination.
Shortly after it was revealed that Lu Yaoyao was an illegitimate child and had been bullying the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, news of Lu Yaoyao being instigated by Chen Nian to misunderstand Lin Xinwan appeared on various media websites.
Chu Nian's photo was featured on the front page of major websites, but the angle and lighting of the photo were problematic. Despite being such a beautiful person, she was photographed looking incredibly ugly.
When Tian Jun saw these photos, he wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. The person he saw and the person in the photos seemed to be completely different people!
This means that no matter where Chu Nian goes, no one can recognize her as the "internet celebrity" who is now being criticized by trolls.
"Miss Chen, since Miss Lin started working as a maid at the Lu family, you and she don't seem to have had much contact, right? Why are these media websites saying that you've been relentlessly targeting her, trying to ruin her, spreading rumors about Miss Lin everywhere, and even encouraging Miss Lu to torment her?" Tian Jun asked, puzzled, as he showed Chu Nian a news report on his phone.
Chu Nian raised an eyebrow at the message. As a film queen accustomed to the spotlight, she didn't care about these trolls. What she cared about was simply diverting public attention and getting people to stop focusing on Lu Yaoyao; one news story would suffice.
However, negative news about the original owner, Chen Nian, came one after another for a long time; otherwise, it wouldn't have reached a poor village like Chenjia Village. If Chen Nian were a public figure, it would be understandable, but she isn't.
This made Chu Nian, who was used to being a public figure and knew how to be one, feel that it was a bit hard to understand.
Chu Nian wanted to see if this time, unlike the original owner, she didn't frequently go to the Lu family with Lu Yaoyao to pick fights with Lin Xinwan. She only went to the Lu family once, and she did say some things that were detrimental to Lin Xinwan. But even just this one time, could the Lu family still leave behind a bunch of evidence that she "bullied" Lin Xinwan and encouraged Lu Yaoyao to bully Lin Xinwan?
In fact, on the day she attended the Lu family banquet, she secretly linked her phone to all of the Lu family's surveillance cameras. However, she couldn't possibly monitor them 24/7 by herself. Besides, she had no interest in checking the surveillance footage.
