Chapter 142 Trying New Things
Ye Qingning swallowed the mutton in her mouth: "I asked Brother Fang, and he said the official announcement will be made at 10 o'clock sharp, and then my matter will be resolved. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"Okay," Jianyan replied, "Then I'll go online and check it out later."
Chen Ci asked, "What trending topic?"
In short, Qingning was boycotted by the entire internet because of Xie Linjing's MV female lead incident.
"A boycott across the entire internet?" Chen Ci hadn't had time to go online to read these boring news lately, so this was the first time he had heard of this news.
Seeing that the two were about to chat again, Ye Qingning quickly used serving chopsticks to scoop up the cooked food and put it into their bowls: "Don't talk while eating or sleeping, let's eat."
Jian Yan and Chen Ci exchanged a glance and obediently ate their food. Chen Ci thought about it for a moment but didn't dwell on it.
With the boss involved, this matter will definitely be resolved quickly.
He doesn't need to worry about it.
Thinking this, he picked up a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth. In an instant, the spicy taste filled his mouth... It felt amazing!
Jian Yan keenly noticed the problem and quickly handed over some iced plum juice. Chen Ci swallowed the mutton in his mouth with the plum juice, but he was still sweating from the spiciness.
Ye Qingning looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry, I forgot you can't eat spicy food... Jian Yan and I seem to really enjoy spicy food."
"It's okay," Chen Ci said. "My brother also loves spicy food, and I can eat a little bit of it too, so I'm not that resistant."
Ye Qingning beckoned to the waiter: "Let me change your tableware..."
After all, there were still many ingredients in his bowl that she had hastily put in earlier.
Chen Ci declined: "No need. People always have to learn to try new things."
He paused and looked at Jian Yan: "For example, you've already started trying, haven't you? And you're doing very well."
Jian Yan felt a warmth in her heart: "Mm."
Chen Ci smiled: "That's good."
So he continued to eat the spicy hot pot ingredients in his bowl with plum juice.
...
After the meal, the three of them returned home.
Upon arriving home, Chen Ci immediately took out his phone to check Weibo's trending topics and, sure enough, saw the entry that was at the top of the list.
The earliest record of this keyword dates back to last night, meaning it has been trending for at least a day and a night.
Given the speed at which his elder brother and boss handle things, it shouldn't be this slow. After a moment's thought, he sent a message to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu quickly replied, "Don't worry about this. Fei Ye and I both know. We're busy, so I'll talk to you later."
Chen Ci: "..."
After pondering for a moment, he sent another message to Chen Tang, asking him to help investigate the original IP address and other information that caused this incident to escalate.
Chen Tang sent a helpless emoji: "Please, so many people have been asking me to investigate this matter these past two days. What's going on? Isn't Ye Qingning the boss's woman? What are you all up to?"
Chen Ci was somewhat puzzled: "Besides me and my older brother, who else asked you to investigate this matter?"
"Keep it a secret." Chen Tang replied, "In short, I will only tell the boss the outcome of this matter. Also, when I get back this time, I will definitely give this good-for-nothing, disgraced woman a good talking-to!"
Chen Ci: "...Don't say that in front of the boss, or you'll get a beating!"
Chen Tang: "The boss thinks so too, anyway, that's all the information I give the boss."
Chen Ci didn't reply to his message. She silently mourned for him for a moment, then took a bath towel and went to the bathroom.
...
At 10 PM, Ye Qingning was lying on a beanbag chair with a face mask on after taking a shower. When she saw that it was time, she checked Weibo and found that the top trending topic was "Xie Linjing's MV female lead officially announced".
Clicking on it leads to the official announcement from the studio and a brief set of promotional photos.
One picture shows a figure from behind in the rain, wearing a white shirt and black pants, surrounded by heavy rain, looking desolate and lonely.
The other picture shows a woman looking up at the sky, the sunlight shining obliquely, making Jian Yan's small face appear crystal clear.
Another photo shows Jian Yan and Xie Linjing sitting on a swing, their backs to the camera. In the photo, the two are looking forward in unison, as if they are gazing at hope.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
Ye Qingning saved the three photos and then sent them to Lin Feiyan.
