Chapter 69: Tianliang Wangpo ~ Red eyes hidden in the socket!
The fine lines around President Ding's eyes added a touch of majesty to him. He rubbed his temples and said, "Hello, anchor. I'm sorry for asking to connect so late."
Bai Shao shook her head: "You're welcome. How can I help you?"
President Ding unbuttoned his cufflinks and rolled up his sleeves, his tone revealing a sense of melancholy.
"I'm busy with work and often forget to eat, so my daughter bought me a mynah bird to talk to me and remind me to eat."
"Except for mealtimes and some fixed rest times, Ding Xiaoba never sticks to me. Lately, I don't know why, he's been staying by my side and I can't get him away."
"It just stared at me with its little eyes, as if it was very worried about me."
"Not only that, it became very naughty, often pecking at sockets and saying strange things. I took it to the veterinary hospital for a checkup, but they couldn't find anything wrong. I was worried that it had been stimulated by something."
"I'm afraid I can't explain this kind of question clearly in a private message, so I'm anxious to connect with you."
"To prevent Ding Xiaoba from getting electrocuted, I bought a cage and kept him inside 24 hours a day."
President Ding turned the laptop on the table and pointed the camera at the black iron cage not far away.
Without waiting for Bai Shao to prick up her ears to listen to the voice in her heart.
A penetrating voice sounded from outside the tent, and Shao Dong's tone was commanding and condescending.
"You deliberately targeted Xunmi and released wolves to intimidate us, embarrassing us in front of everyone and getting us into trouble. Bai Shao, if you had the decency to apologize to us, I'll make you pay for it!"
"Don't be such a coward! Don't you think about it? Without Xunmi helping you, how would a retired, 18th-tier celebrity like you have the qualifications to participate in an S-tier variety show?"
"You should be content to have such a good assistant, but not only are you not grateful, you're even ungrateful! After the variety show shoot is over, I'm going to expose you in front of the reporters!"
Bai Shao stood up, twisted her wrist, and said to President Ding in the live broadcast room: "Wait a moment."
Not long after.
A scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard.
The noise disappeared.
Bai Shao returned to the camera: "Let's continue."
President Ding: “…”
Friends in the live broadcast room expressed shock.
[Host: If I can’t beat Xiao, I can’t beat you either?]
[Leaving the assistant's "shelter", the anchor discovered that there was no rain outside at all.]
[Honestly, I want to know how this person will make the anchor suffer the consequences...]
President Ding coughed lightly and walked towards the cage: "My company has a professional legal team. If the anchor needs it, you can contact me at any time. It will be treated as a consultation fee."
Bai Shao waved her hand: "After we leave the Arctic, we will let them see what legal sanctions are. Let's see Xiao Ba first."
The veins on the back of Chairman Ding's hand, as he was holding the cage, were slightly bulging. The cage hook was hanging loosely on his fingertips, leaving a mark.
I saw a starling standing on the copper frame in the cage. Its feathers were shiny black, as if it was wrapped in black satin, and its golden eyes were rolling around.
The starling flapped its jet-black wings and said in a clear voice: "The sky is cold and the king is broken!"
President Ding shook his head and said, "That's the strange thing. My daughter likes to read online literature, but since she went abroad, no one has been with Xiaoba to listen to novels. I don't know where Xiaoba learned this."
The starling shook the hair on his head: "Stupid dad!"
President Ding looked helpless: "There is also this sentence."
[When will Dad finally discover the secret inside the socket? I’m so worried!]
Hear this.
Bai Shao raised her eyebrows slightly: "The secret in the socket?"
The starling tilted its head to look at the source of the sound, and rolled its eyes: "Beautiful lady?"
President Ding looked puzzled: "What secret?"
The starling stopped pecking at the grains in the trough. It tilted its head back and called out several times: "Since moving to this new home, several sockets have been flashing red eyes. Birds must watch over Daddy and protect Daddy!"
Bai Shao asked, "Did you just move to a new house?"
Chairman Ding returned to his desk to process documents. Upon hearing this, he frowned in confusion. "Yes, my daughter was admitted to university, so I bought an apartment near the school. I'm usually too busy to spend time with her, so I thought it would be nice to live closer to her so we can have meals together more often."
Bai Shao continued to ask, "Who is responsible for decorating the new house?"
President Ding replied subconsciously: "My friend Ms. Wang, a real estate developer, wanted to give me this fully furnished apartment, but I refused and bought it at the market price."
Bai Shao nodded. "Since you didn't do the renovations, I think it's fair to suspect it. I suggest you find an electrician to check the sockets in the house. The flashing red eyes that the starling saw are most likely pinhole cameras."
President Ding paused with the pen in his hand, and the next second, black ink spread out on the paper to form a strange flower.
The live broadcast room was filled with question marks from viewers.
【???】
I've imagined a hundred conspiracy theories.
【Key point: "Free gift for friends"! 】
[Let's not talk about whether it's a pinhole camera, and it doesn't necessarily mean it was installed by a friend. The uncle is not a beautiful woman. What's the point of taking a picture of him, a middle-aged man?]
Silver moonlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, fell on President Ding, and cast a mottled shadow on the wooden floor.
Chairman Ding's face darkened, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He suddenly started rummaging through his toolbox. "I worked as an electrician before the company went public. I dismantled it myself."
He scanned the room and started dismantling his daughter's bedroom.
After a while, President Ding dismantled several pinhole cameras, most of which were in his bedroom, bathroom, and study, and the rest were distributed in the living room and kitchen.
Chairman Ding felt a wave of irritation and anger rising in his heart. He subconsciously blamed it on the business war, thinking that his rivals wanted to use black material on him to criticize his company.
Bai Shao looked at the starling: "The starling follows you closely to protect you, and pecks at the plate to remind you."
President Ding felt so soft inside that his gloomy face instantly melted like ice and snow. He opened the cage and stroked the ahoge on the starling's head.
"Thank you, Hachi."
The starling cried out, "The sky is cold and the king is broken!"
The viewers in the live broadcast room started to flood the screen with comments.
【The weather is getting colder, and the Wang family is going bankrupt.】
【The weather is getting colder, and the Wang family is going bankrupt.】
[What a vicious plot! ]
After President Ding gave the reward, he was about to express his gratitude.
The doorbell rang.
The starling smelled something it didn't like: "Don't open the door!"
Bai Shao snapped, "It told you not to open the door."
But it was too late.
The laptop was two hundred meters away from the gate, and a woman in home clothes could be vaguely seen.
The middle-aged woman was obese, and her slightly slippery gaze slid from President Ding's face to his waist and abdomen, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
President Ding felt uncomfortable, his brows furrowed. "I was just about to ask you, why is there a pinhole camera in your renovated apartment? Don't tell me you don't know about this!"
Ms. Wang walked into the room and closed the door. “I knew you would have this question, so I came.”
President Ding frowned even deeper: "You came here so quickly, do you live in this building too?"
Ms. Wang slowly opened her handbag, her tone filled with regret: "You are still as smart as you were when you were young. Unlike me, if I hadn't been lucky enough to become a demolition resident and invested in a piece of land, I wouldn't have made a fortune."
She took out a thick stack of contracts and used the contracts as a cover to cover President Ding's face with a white towel.
President Ding instinctively raised his hand, but the gas still rushed straight to his brain. His body softened and he almost fell.
The drugs and the misfortune were like two bayonets, stabbing his brain and dulling his consciousness.
