Chapter Sixty-Six: Openly and honestly watching the excitement
"Don't leave until you explain yourself!"
"Get out of my way!"
"who is he?"
What is your relationship with him?
The elevator stopped, and Zhou Ran looked at the numbers; it wasn't the top floor.
I bumped into it by accident just now; the elevator is stopped on the tenth floor.
They originally intended to close the elevator and leave, but then they heard a commotion coming from the other side.
"Oh my, sure enough, it's an entertainment company. I can find entertainment programs here and go watch the fun."
Zhou Ran grabbed Xia Chengping's hand and pulled him over.
He's been in a bad mood lately and needs some excitement to cheer himself up.
They rushed over and saw a group of people gathered outside.
Zhou Ran is short; you can't see her even when she's on tiptoe.
Looking around, there was nothing to step on in the corridor.
He tugged at Xia Chengping, who silently bent down.
Zhou Ran jumped onto his back, and her vision immediately became clear.
Sure enough, being tall has its advantages; you don't need to stand on a stool to watch the excitement.
"Why aren't you saying anything? I've caught you, don't you have anything to say?"
A woman in her thirties or forties pointed at the two people opposite her, hands on her hips, looking like she had caught them in the act.
The man and woman she was criticizing stood opposite her, heads down, saying nothing.
"You're mute now, tell me, how long have you been hooking up with him? I want to hear the truth."
"Sister Liu, you've misunderstood. I really have nothing to do with her."
The man looked up, and Zhou Ran raised an eyebrow. "Wow, he's quite good-looking."
He resembles the second male lead in a period drama, possessing the grandeur of an ancient knight-errant.
His casual attire softened his sharp features, giving him a warmer, more approachable look.
In Zhou Ran's opinion, she was above average.
"That guy is quite good-looking!"
"Looks familiar, probably some minor celebrity."
Xia Chengping and his companion whispered to each other while glancing at gossip.
"You're still lying to me. I caught you two hugging, and you still say you have nothing to do with each other."
"It was just an accident. I was passing by and happened to see her slip, so I helped her up."
The man explained that it was all a misunderstanding, his face full of frustration.
I deeply regret being so foolish as to pull that hand.
"I know your personality too well. You're offering to help out of kindness, but you're only after her looks. Let me tell you, I won't allow it."
Sister Liu wouldn't let it go, as if the man had done something heinous.
The young woman stood next to the man, head down and silent, seemingly afraid of being scolded.
"Sister Liu, everyone says it's a misunderstanding, so why don't you explain?"
When the man realized he couldn't explain it to her, he urged the woman to help him clarify.
The girl then spoke timidly.
"Yes, yes, Brother Zhang is right. I just... I just lost my balance. Brother Zhang was just trying to help."
He spoke haltingly and softly, his face filled with fear.
He was simply an unlucky guy who was bullied by Sister Liu.
People around her began to sympathize with the girl, wondering how she could be so unlucky to encounter such a thing.
Sister Liu didn't care at all what the people around her thought.
Instead, they raised their voices.
"I don't know what a young girl like you is thinking, thinking that you can use dirty tricks to climb up to a star and become a phoenix."
I'm telling you, no way! Put away your foxy thoughts and your seductive face.
"Dressed up and waiting here to stage an accident? I've seen this kind of thing a lot. I have plenty of ways to deal with a little slut like you."
Sister Liu was spitting as she cursed, pointing her finger at my nose.
Her gaze swept over the crowd, and many people dared not meet Sister Liu's eyes, turning their heads away.
They were all worried about being targeted by Sister Liu, who would think they were dirty and smelly and wanted to pounce on their precious child.
Zhou Ran then realized that this was not a scene of catching someone in the act of adultery.
That Ms. Liu is probably an agent or something similar, and that man is her artist.
As for the girl, it's unclear whether she bumped into it accidentally or on purpose.
Sister Liu caught them red-handed and, without giving them any face, started tearing them apart on the spot.
"I'll let it go today, but if I hear any bad news, I'll skin you alive. Now get back to what you were doing!"
The others stopped watching the commotion and quickly dispersed.
The girl covered her face and ran away, sobbing.
The man walked over with a big smile to coax Sister Liu.
"Sister Liu, don't be angry, it was really an accident."
You don't know me yet; I listen to you the most.
At such a crucial moment, how could I be so clueless as to act recklessly?
Seeing the artist's carefully smiling face, Sister Liu's expression softened slightly.
"Everyone says you shouldn't be too kind. People who are too kind are easily taken advantage of. Look at today, if it weren't for me, it might have gotten out. People outside don't care whether you did it on purpose or not."
"I know, I know everything. It's Sister Liu who's good to me and thinking of me."
The man offered to massage Sister Liu's shoulders in a flattering manner.
"Sister Liu, I just got back and brought you some local specialties. I went to your office but couldn't find you, so I came here to look for you. I didn't expect to run into this."
She heard whether the man was thinking of buying her a gift or coming to see her.
The anger on Sister Liu's face completely subsided.
His complexion improved somewhat, and he said directly, "Let's go to my office."
Zhou Ran patted Xia Chengping, signaling him to follow.
Xia Chengping obediently carried Zhou Ran on his back and strode after them.
The man was coaxing Sister Liu, assuming everyone had left, and didn't notice that two bold men had followed them.
He was used to having bodyguards and assistants with him, and when he heard footsteps, he assumed it was his assistant following him and didn't pay any attention.
Talk to Sister Liu earnestly and try to make her happy.
After saying a string of nice things, I finally managed to make the person smile and realize that the matter was over.
The man breathed a sigh of relief and, taking advantage of Sister Liu's good mood, asked...
"Sister Liu, I heard there's a variety show coming up recently, and our company has invested quite a bit in it. Have you chosen the cast yet?"
"Yes, there is one. It's tentatively directed by Director Wang. It's a rural-themed program where people go to the countryside to farm, cook, and chat."
Sister Liu raised her eyes and looked at the man.
"You're interested? Weren't you recently competing for an endorsement deal with Eden?"
“I’m interested, sis, you have to help me. I heard that my competitor for the Eden brand endorsement is Fu Tianxing. I can’t compete with him, so I need to find a way out.”
The man pitifully begged for help.
Sister Liu really fell for this, and her eyebrows and eyes became more flamboyant.
"I'll ask around for you when I have time. This is a big investment. I heard that the higher-ups have given strict orders that there can be no mistakes. They have to do background checks on everyone before selecting people and have them sign liability waivers. You'd better be careful these days."
Sister Liu glanced at the man and warned him.
"Don't put everything dirty and smelly into your mouth. If there's negative news about you, no one will be of any use."
"Sister, you are my own sister, I will definitely listen to you. I will rely on you to help and protect me from now on."
Zhou Ran, clinging to Xia Chengping's back, was bold and close enough to hear everything they said.
Zhou Ran lowered her voice and asked Xia Chengping.
"You didn't invest in that variety show, did you?"
"I don't know. I only invested money and didn't ask for specifics. They just said it was a variety show, but didn't say it was about aesthetics."
Xia Chengping is a typical young master who does not inherit the family business.
He knew nothing about it; anyway, that money was just pocket money to him.
He doesn't need to know what kind of show it is, as long as he can make money.
"Wait a minute, go ask what show it is. If it's fun, we can go check it out."
Zhou Ran's words were definitely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
He knows a thing or two about the entertainment industry; it's all about exchanging favors.
Having witnessed countless power-for-sex transactions in my past life, this little bit of trouble is nothing to be interested in.
I'm not very interested in a deal between these two.
But he had a feeling that the show the two of them got on through connections was very likely the one that Xia Chengping had invested in.
Stealing, to put it bluntly, means destroying other people's things or taking other people's things for my own use.
For example, if something happens on campus, it will affect the campus's reputation. Since the Xia family is the major shareholder of the campus, it will affect the Xia family's stock price.
This is a small combo, but of course, this kind of indirect combo is not as fast as directly using it.
For example, in the previous case, he simply found a woman and married her to Gu Tingxiao.
This woman is always causing trouble, getting involved in various situations, affecting cooperation, and damaging interpersonal relationships.
This type of smuggling is more direct, simpler, and more effective.
The people behind it were impatient, feeling that taking it one step at a time was too slow.
If you want to be more ruthless, just seize the fortune directly and arrest the heir.
Whether they become disabled or go missing, it will only cause trouble for their family.
Once a problem arises, someone will take the opportunity to make a move.
Wealth and power will naturally fall into the hands of those who want to profit.
Unexpectedly, a series of unexpected events occurred, and both Gu Tingxiao and Xia Chenggan escaped unharmed.
Both of them were injured and lost some of their luck, but they will recover quickly if they are alive.
Their plan to take advantage of everyone at once failed.
Xia Chenggan and his companion were both intelligent men, and they took strict precautions after the incident.
Neither direct nor brutal methods are feasible.
Having already alerted the enemy, these people have turned to covert tactics and started causing trouble indirectly.
That incident at the school was a harbinger of something.
Zhou Ran always felt that Xia Chengping's investment was also a harbinger of something.
Since it was related to her, Zhou Ran became interested in getting involved.
Zhou Ran raised her voice slightly when she said the last sentence.
The two women in front of them, Sister Liu and Sister Liu, then realized that there were more than just the two of them here.
The two turned around simultaneously, meeting the gazes of Xia Chengping and Zhou Ran, who were also looking up.
"Who are you two? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Sister Liu spoke first, saying that this floor was her domain and everyone knew her.
Where did these two strangers come from?
What did they see and hear?
Recalling what she had just said, Sister Liu felt that she couldn't let the two of them leave so easily.
We need to at least figure out what these two are up to.
"Who was eavesdropping? We followed them here openly and honestly to listen."
Xia Chengping and Zhou Ran were open and honest.
They acted uprightly, sat honestly, and were completely aboveboard; how could that be considered eavesdropping?
“If you follow me and listen to our conversation without making a sound, does that count as eavesdropping?”
Where are you from? Are you new rising stars? Which manager are you with?
Judging from their clothes and appearance, Sister Liu didn't think they were staff members; they were too young.
Interns wouldn't be hired for such a small position.
The two were quite good-looking and were wearing school uniforms; just by their demeanor, they looked like minor celebrities.
She remembered there was an audition in the tenth-floor studio today; the two of them must have gone to the wrong place—a minor celebrity! Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
