At that moment, the planting group had just finished their morning work and returned to rest.
Passing by the doorway, they witnessed this entertaining spectacle.
Aili leaned against the doorframe, applauding, “Serious condition? Family of traditional Chinese medicine? Brilliant!”
[Aili really knows how to throw shade.]
[Boss Wei probably faked fainting out of embarrassment.]
[Am I the only one wondering why Qin Wanyin splashed him?]
[Good thing Liu Yiyi isn’t a surgeon, or she’d have anesthetized and operated on a perfectly healthy person.]
Liu Yiyi sensed the sarcasm.
She lowered her head, flustered, and tugged at Qi Heng’s sleeve.
Qi Heng’s expression was stern, his gaze fixed on Qin Wanyin.
He had once promised Uncle Qin that he would take care of her.
But why did Qin Wanyin always have to oppose Liu Yiyi and try to take what was hers?
It had been the same with the previous TV drama roles and commercial endorsements.
The agent had clearly negotiated them for Yiyi, but Qin Wanyin tried to snatch them away, even claiming they were rightfully hers.
If it weren’t for their shared agent testifying, he might have actually believed her acting skills.
“Qin Wanyin, haven’t you caused enough trouble!”
He couldn’t indulge her any longer.
Today, in his capacity as the company’s boss, he would end Qin Wanyin’s participation in the recording.
This was the perfect opportunity.
He grabbed Qin Wanyin’s hand forcefully and dragged her in front of Boss Wei. “Apologize! If Boss Wei doesn’t forgive you, pack your things and get out immediately!”
With that, he shot a meaningful glance at the director.
The director immediately understood.
He promptly contacted a marketing company to promote the clip of Qin Wanyin’s upcoming apology across the internet.
Previously, out of respect for the movie star Lu, he hadn’t made things too difficult for her.
But he still hadn’t been able to reach the star himself and could only contact his former agent.
When asked when the movie star Lu would come to record, the agent only replied with a question mark, as if thinking he was crazy.
The director fell into a slump, suspecting that Qin Wanyin had played him.
Thus, today’s trending scandal was mixed with a bit of personal resentment.
He had expected Qin Wanyin to refuse to apologize, but she surprisingly complied.
Qi Heng thought it was the effect of his “pack your things and get out” threat.
Qin Wanyin looked at Boss Wei, whose face was covered in dog blood, and bowed three times.
“I’m sorry. I thought you weren’t human earlier, so I splashed you with dog blood. I didn’t realize you were quite human-like. To express my apology, let me bark like a dog for you?”
Boss Wei: “…”
Qi Heng: “…”
They had never heard such a novel way of apologizing.
Qin Wanyin looked sincere as she spoke in a strange tone:
“Apologize! If Boss Wei doesn’t forgive you, pack your things and get out immediately!”
“…”
“……”
[Wasn’t she supposed to bark like a dog? Why is she repeating Qi Heng’s words?]
[Because barking like a dog = imitating Qi Heng’s barking]
[Hahaha! Qin Wanyin is killing me!]
[100 pounds in weight, 99 pounds of defiance.]
[Qin Wanyin should write a book called “If You Can’t Scold Your Boss, You’ll Just Work Yourself to Death.” I’d buy it in a heartbeat!]
[I can relate to the employee scolding the boss—it feels so satisfying!]
[I don’t believe Qin Wanyin wants to seduce Qi Heng; she clearly wants to destroy him!]
The room was large and empty.
You could even hear the lingering “barking” echoing.
Qi Heng’s face turned ashen. “Qin… Wan… Yin!”
Qin Wanyin shushed him, smiling as she turned to Boss Wei. “Where did you get your nose done?”
Boss Wei’s face suddenly changed. “I’ve never had plastic surgery.”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about admitting it? You and your Ximen Xiaoniang went to the same hospital, right?”
Just as everyone was wondering who Ximen Xiaoniang was, Qin Wanyin turned her gaze to the female secretary.
“Your Jinlian isn’t talking, so you tell me, Ximen Xiaoniang!”
“Which doctor performed your surgeries? Tell me quickly so I can avoid them. This aesthetic sense is terrifying.”
“…”
Female secretary = Ximen Qing?
Boss Wei = Pan Jinlian?
“What are you talking about!” The female secretary glared angrily with her beautiful eyes, pointing at Qin Wanyin’s nose. “Don’t you dare slander us! Brother Wei and I are completely innocent!”
Boss Wei was also furious. “Young Master Qi, Miss Liu, if you didn’t genuinely want to do business with me, why invite me here? I, Wei, won’t be doing this deal!”
He grabbed his bag and turned to leave.
The secretary, with red-rimmed eyes, also walked to the door as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“Don’t go yet,” Qin Wanyin said with a playful smile, blocking their way. “You still haven’t told me which hospital it was!”
“Enough!”
Qi Heng was seething with anger.
He had previously only thought Qin Wanyin was confused, but today he realized she could be so unreasonable.
Well, today he would lay all his cards on the table.
“Qin Wanyin, you’ve been scheming to ruin this deal, all because you’re jealous of Yiyi, aren’t you?”
“But let me tell you, no matter how much you act out, in my heart you’ll never compare to her.”
“And about that time you knocked on my door in the middle of the night—I didn’t want to bring it up publicly, but since you keep bothering Yiyi, I’ll make it clear today: I don’t like you.”
The onlookers: “…”
So the rumor about the midnight knock was actually true!
Did Qin Wanyin really go to Qi Heng to offer herself?
[Ahhh! Young Master Qi protecting his woman is so domineering!]
[Yiyi, if you meet someone like this, just marry him!]
[My Qiyi pairing is real! Qin Wanyin is the mistress! How dare she slander others as mistresses!]
Second scene.
Chen Xinyi finally felt vindicated.
See, the person involved has come forward to confirm that Qin Wanyin knocked on his door at midnight.
She had only reposted the paparazzi’s leak, but she hadn’t spread rumors.
“What it means for a young woman to knock on a man’s door in the middle of the night—adults know exactly what that implies.”
“As for why Qin Wanyin insists on slandering the relationship between Boss Wei and his secretary? Maybe it’s because she’s a mistress herself, so she thinks everyone else is one too.”
She was always good at steering the narrative.
Especially the new viewers brought in by short videos—they all had a favorable impression of Liu Yiyi.
After all, her quotes like “I’m a tomboy” and “I’m not delicate at all” were widely circulated. Everyone loved this kind of genuine, unaffected female celebrity.
As for Qin Wanyin, the impression was Qin the Mistress, Qin the White Lotus.
[Qin the Mistress is so disgusting!]
[Just a casual viewer, but I really feel for Yiyi and Young Master Qi. If it weren’t for Qin the Mistress stirring up trouble, they’d probably be together by now!]
[How dare she slander the female secretary as a mistress! I majored in secretarial studies in college, and I hate this kind of stereotype the most!]
Just as the entire internet was condemning Qin Wanyin, a knock sounded at the door.
“Open up, police!”
Everyone in the room: “…”
Only Qin Wanyin wasn’t surprised.
As if she had known all along, she calmly opened the door…
