Xu Hao looked as if he was in the depths of despair.
“What should we do?” he asked Shen Wenqian.
Even Shen Wenqian, the experienced and highly skilled top agent, was at a loss.
He looked to Ruan Qi for help.
Ruan Qi calmly closed her laptop and said to Manager Tang, “Just leave it be.”
Manager Tang: “What?”
Ruan Qi: “Tell the people in the Public Relations Department to stop what they’re doing, don’t whitewash, don’t clarify, let them curse, the fiercer the better.”
“…” Manager Tang blinked, thoroughly confused.
He looked at Xu Hao, bewildered.
Xu Hao looked at Shen Wenqian, equally lost.
Shen Wenqian…
Shen Wenqian, in a dilemma, covered his face and gave a heavy nod.
Manager Tang left the office as if he were a wandering soul.
Shen Wenqian asked Ruan Qi, “What exactly is your plan?”
Ruan Qi didn’t speak.
She looked down at her phone, her thumbs tapping rapidly on the screen a few times.
Then she made a phone call. Get faster updates on g.com.
“This video, I want the most detailed analysis.
Dig out all the details.
Also, the original video from the hotel, I want that too,” she said.
The person on the other end of the phone responded and hung up.
Shen Wenqian couldn’t help himself and asked, “Who were you calling?”
“A friend,” Ruan Qi put away her phone and cheerfully said to the two, “Just wait one more night.
The real show starts tomorrow morning.”

At Xi Corporation, in the Chairman’s office.
Assistant Mu reported to Xi Jiu in a low voice on work matters when suddenly a bizarre cry rang through the room.
Assistant Mu’s hand shuddered, almost tossing the documents onto the floor.
Xi Jiu raised his head, his cold eyes carrying a warning as he looked at the source of the noise, Bai Yuchen.
“Sorry, sorry!” Bai Yuchen hastily apologized before holding up his phone with a terrified look, exclaiming, “Isn’t that Miss Ruan?!”
Xi Jiu, who was about to continue with the documents, paused.
Bai Yuchen held the phone and read out loud, word by word, “Shen Wenqian and a mysterious woman were seen leaving Dynasty Hall with an extremely intimate attitude.
The mysterious woman even indicated that there is a secretive relationship between the two that can’t be revealed yet…”
All of a sudden, a large hand reached over and took the phone from his hand.
Bai Yuchen was about to get angry, but when he turned and saw Xi Jiu, he swallowed his curse words back down.
Xi Jiu quickly glanced over Weibo, then opened the video link, his handsome brows furrowed tightly, as the air pressure seemed to drop. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
He stood there motionless, holding the phone for at least five minutes.
Unable to bear the tension, Bai Yuchen spoke up, “Brother Jiu…”
“Assistant Mu.” Ignoring him, Xi Jiu commanded Assistant Mu in a cold voice, “Inform Xi’s Public Relations Department to remove all online information related to the mysterious woman.”
Assistant Mu, composed, pushed up his glasses and turned to leave.
Bai Yuchen quickly interjected, “Wait!
Hold on!
Brother Jiu, look quickly!
Miss Ruan has responded!”
Xi Jiu looked down as Bai Yuchen tapped a few times on the phone.
Ruan Qi’s Weibo profile popped up.
Ruan Ruan Ruan Qi: Brother Shen, I believe you.
@Shen Wenqian
Xi Jiu stared at the photo of the two of them together for a full minute.
Then he looked away.
“No need to go,” he glanced at Assistant Mu, “Continue with the reports on the documents from earlier.”
Xi Jiu, with a stern face, sat back down in his office chair.
Assistant Mu, holding the documents, approached him, about to speak, when Xi Jiu suddenly cut him off.
“You go…”
Assistant Mu: ?
Xi Jiu’s lips were a tight line, his expression slightly gloomy, “Investigate Shen Wenqian, the more detail the better.”
After a pause, he added another sentence, “Especially regarding relationships with women.”
