Zhou Qingyue casually placed Jiang Xuâs phone on the table.
Then she plunked herself down on the sofa.
Her beautiful legs swung back and forth as she hummed an unknown tune, appearing to be in a very good mood.
Bai Xiaoya and An Nuonuo both stood beside Jiang Xu, their faces filled with concern.
âWhat on earth is going on?â Jiang Xu looked at Bai Xiaoya and An Nuonuo,
âHas she really been overstimulated?â
âNo idea.â Bai Xiaoya shook her head, âAs soon as Nuonuo and I got here, she started acting like this.
Hopping and jumping around the room like a wild monkey.
And she kept letting out bursts of weird laughter, super scary.â
âShould weâ¦â An Nuonuo hesitated over her choice of words, then said softly, âMaybe we should take her to the hospital to have a look.
If there really is a problem, we can get it treated sooner.â
âYeah.â Jiang Xu nodded, âThen letâs work together and get her into the car.â âNo, no, no, Iâm really fine.â The corners of Zhou Qingyueâs mouth were harder to suppress than an AK, âYou guys should be happy for me.
With such a huge amount of traffic and attention, sis here is about to step into the ranks of top-tier celebrities.
In the future, when you see sis, you must be more courteous.â
Jiang Xu concluded, âShe really has gone mad.â
Bai Xiaoya nodded, âAnd itâs pretty serious.â
An Nuonuo said, âDonât delay, letâs hurry to the hospital.â
Done speaking, the three of them were about to start moving Zhou Qingyue out.
âNo, no, no, Iâm really fine,â Zhou Qingyue stepped back, watching them with great wariness, âTo tell you the truth, I have a way to solve this crisis.â
âHuh? x3â
All three of them looked at Zhou Qingyue with astonishment.
âWhat way?â Jiang Xu looked at her skeptically.
This matter was now causing a huge public scandal; solving it wouldnât be easy.
Even he couldnât come up with a solution in such a short time.
With Zhou Qingyueâs intelligence, could she really come up with a good idea?
Under the doubtful gazes of the three, Zhou Qingyue couldnât help but straighten her spine.
Get ready, Iâm about to show off.
She cleared her throat and said, âThe photos, to be sure, look very realistic.
I almost freaked out the first time I saw them, thinking I was done for.
But then I thought, Iâm not panicked at all.
Because I have birthmarks on my back and my butt.
These are not in those photos.â
âThatâs not going to help,â Bai Xiaoya frowned, âAre you suggesting showing your butt to people?
As for showing your back, many netizens could still say itâs fake.â
Jiang Xu, however, came to a realization.
So thatâs it, no wonder Zhou Qingyue was so confident.
âThatâs easy.â Zhou Qingyue said triumphantly, âFirst, regarding the issue of authenticity.
I can go to the most authoritative hospital in the country and get a certificate. Second, I can invite some highly respected female seniors from the industry. Show them the birthmarks on my body in a room, and then get them to testify for me.â
Zhou Qingyueâs line of thinking was clear, and her method was certainly feasible.
âWow, not bad, Xiao Zhou.â Bai Xiaoya gave her a thumbs-up, âDidnât expect you to have such smarts.â
An Nuonuo also nodded in agreement, âZhou is amazing.â
Even Jiang Xu gave her rare praise.
This huge crisis was now turning into an enormous fortune!
The more furiously the netizens cursed now, the bigger the benefits Zhou
Qingyue would reap after the turnaround.
Zhou Qingyue felt refreshed and invigorated.
Great, great, great, it was finally her turn to hit the jackpot.
The future of the entertainment industry was hers to command.
Jiang Xu said in a stern voice, âSince youâve already got a plan, then you should get ready as soon as possible.
âWait until the public opinion ferments and reaches its peak, then weâll bring out the evidence.â
âMhm, mhm, mhm.â Zhou Qingyue nodded vigorously, her gaze towards Jiang Xu softened with a trace of tenderness.
After this incident, Jiang Xuâs opinion of her must have deepened.
The status she held in his heart would definitely rise.
She was one step closer to becoming his girlfriend.
Just the thought made her happy.
Afterward, everyone split up.
An Nuonuo followed Zhou Qingyue, assisting with some matters.
Jiang Xu, on the other hand, returned to the company.
After brewing his thoughts for a while, he made a call to Lifuzhen.
âMr. Jiang, what can I do for you?â Lifuzhenâs tone carried a hint of relaxation and teasing.
âYouâre behind Zhou Qingyueâs situation, arenât you?â Jiang Xuâs tone was calm, with a subtle undertone of anger that was hard to detect.
But Lifuzhen caught it.
Her lips curved up slightly.
She rose from her office chair and walked over to sit on the sofa.
Crossing her left leg over her right, she exuded an air of casual laziness.
Her leg skin was smooth and delicate, like the finest silk, irresistibly compelling one to touch.
To exaggerate a bit, even an ant would slip off it.
It was hard to imagine this was the skin of a woman just over forty.
Facing Jiang Xuâs interrogation, she laughed lightly, âI donât know what youâre talking about. Whoâs Zhou Qingyue? I donât recognize the name.â
âPlaying dirty now, arenât we?â Jiang Xuâs words took on a slightly heavier tone. âThereâs a saying in Dragon Country,â Lifuzhen said sarcastically, âitâs âimpotent rage.â Thatâs what youâre exhibiting right now, isnât it?
Unable to solve your own problems, you come to vent on me.â
âUsing despicable means wonât allow you to achieve great things,â Jiang Xu said gravely. âSince you want to play, Iâll see it through to the end.â
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
âStill too young,â Lifuzhen chuckled as she looked at her phone. âHeâs capable, but lacks self-control. Iâve got this game in the bag.â
She called in her secretary, instructing, âIncrease the budget by twenty million daily for the next week regarding Zhou Qingyue.
Once I cut off Jiang Xuâs most profitable artist, heâll have no standing to compete with me.â
âYes.â
On the other side, Jiang Xu calmly set his phone down.
Of course, he wasnât angry.
This was simply to send Lifuzhen the wrong signal.
To make her think he had no choice but to throw empty words at her over the phone.
To lower her guard.
But this also tested oneâs acting skills.
Lifuzhen was no ordinary person.
If the tone was too exaggerated, she would surely sense something was amiss.
Jiang Xu had just the right tone, successfully deceiving Lifuzhen.
After that, Jiang Xu opened a document on his computer.
Yes, Jiang Xu intended to maximize the benefits from this crisis.
Therefore, he had to prepare a fitting song for Zhou Qingyue.
That way, it would boost her popularity even more.
The higher her popularity soared, the more money Jiang Xu would make.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The online buzz about #ZhouQingyueâsBeautyPhoto# broke fifty billion in terms of popularity.
Utterly terrifying.
Throughout it all, Zhou Qingyue remained out of sight, and her fans had scurried away.
Bright and early, Jiang Xu arrived at the office.
Today was the day to strike back!
