55 Wait for me
Chu Xiao tossed her phone back onto the table and gulped down a mouthful of cold tea, but the bitter taste couldn't quell the irritation in her heart.
She knew Yu Chun liked to cause trouble; she would create problems even when there were none. It could be said that all of Yu Chun's dramatic ups and downs were self-inflicted.
She could tolerate minor squabbles normally, but this time, she really didn't expect Yu Chun to be so reckless.
Before I knew it, Yu Chun had gotten involved in the power struggle within the pancake company. Did this guy even know his own limitations?
Not only did they get involved, but they also failed to clean up their mess!
The group's technology department has now clearly tracked down the involvement of multiple forces. Although it is not yet clear who exactly they are or what their motives are, Chu Xiao can roughly guess.
The only thing she discovered was Yu Chun's involvement, which seemed utterly inexplicable to her.
Currently, it seems that Yu Chun's only rumor is about picking her butt while making pancakes, which is the least serious of the rumors.
Normally, his spreading such elementary rumors would be nothing more than a trivial joke. But with Jian's father in trouble and power transition underway, it became the fuse for a storm.
Based on this alone, Yu Chun is definitely going to take the blame.
The most crucial point is that, currently, the only one with overwhelming evidence in plain sight is Yu Chun.
The technical department's investigation needs to be filed and reported. If Yu Chun had cleaned up the mess, she could have settled it privately. Now that the evidence is conclusive, she can't protect it even if she wanted to, and can only handle it officially.
The teacup was slammed heavily on the table, making a dull thud.
Chu Xiao took a deep breath.
Does this idiot even realize the consequences of messing with the pancake company?
...
Yu Chun was unaware that he was about to face a terrible disaster.
Around 2 a.m. is the peak time for night owls.
Yu Chun, a night owl, is just like any other night owl, surfing the internet in bed with great energy.
Yu Chun turned the air conditioner in the room to 16 degrees Celsius, turned off the main light, turned on two small bedside lamps, wrapped herself in a soft quilt, and left her fluffy head peeking out.
Thinking about what he had hired online trolls to do these past two days, he clicked on the trending topics to see what their results were.
"!!!"
Yu Chun's eyes widened as she saw the negative news about Jianbing Group flying around.
Didn't he just have online trolls spread rumors about pancakes and slap their butts?
Who took it upon themselves to spread all those other nonsensical rumors!
Yu Chun frantically opened the dialog box with the sun explosion icon.
Even someone as oblivious as him sensed that something was amiss...
Then he saw that familiar sun explosion icon pop up with a voice invitation.
"..."
What a coincidence! Could it be that they've come to confront us?
Yu Chun nervously pressed the answer button.
"Where?"
Chu Xiao's slightly tired voice came through the phone.
"...Tiansheng Haoting." Yu Chun wondered, were they coming to see him?
"..."
Upon first hearing the familiar name of the neighborhood, Chu Xiao felt a bit speechless.
She vaguely remembered that her father's seventh concubine seemed to live in this neighborhood.
Unexpectedly, Yu Chun also owns a house in this community and has recently moved here.
What a coincidence! It would be a shame not to go over, given how close they are.
"wait for me."
Chu Xiao hung up the phone without giving him a chance to refuse.
Yu Chun stared blankly at the gradually darkening phone screen, her heart pounding faster and faster.
Chu Xiao called at this hour and said he was "waiting for her," which means he's coming over, right?
They came over at 2 a.m., a man and a woman alone in a room, surely it wasn't just to settle accounts?
He threw back the covers, looked around his bedroom, and lowered his head in thought.
Should we prepare something in advance?
