After facing a barrage of ridicule, Ye Shaochen found a silver lining, unexpectedly garnering a wave of public sympathy. The PR department immediately contacted him, suggesting that he should seize the opportunity for publicity; this might even increase the companyâs stock value and brand influence.
Initially frustrated, Ye Shaochen suddenly felt much more at ease. Being mocked was a small matter if it could potentially boost the companyâs stock value. It would indeed be a fortunate turn of events.
But what they could think of, Ye Nanshen and Gu Ziye could foresee it too. Even the mischievously scheming Rong Qi anticipated it.
By the time Ye Shaochen wanted to use the incident for publicity, he discovered that his Weibo had been hacked! He was so furious that he was heaving for air. His chance for free publicity was squandered.
Ye Shaochen also thought of getting media coverage, only to find that the most influential media had been invited to the auction held by Sheng Jian. It was rumored that they would have the chance to appreciate some gemstones and be granted exclusive interviews! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
All the journalists driven by the news wouldnât miss out on such an opportunity. This was the first time Sheng Jian had agreed to an interview. Somehow, Sheng Jianâs auction happened to be at this particular moment.
If it werenât for Sheng Jian always keeping his distance from the capitalâs social circles, Ye Shaochen would suspect that Sheng Jian was colluding with Ye Nanshen.
Having dealt with Ye Shaochen, Rong Qi finally shut down her computer, feeling a bit more content. In her opinion, avenging a gentlemanâs grievance years later is nonsense. Revenge is sweetest when served immediately, and the face-slapping most satisfying when done in person!
âMadam, itâs time for your chicken soup.â Mrs. Hong said as she knocked on the door, carrying a tray into the room.
Rong Qi accepted the tray with a smile touching her lips. She said, âThank you very much, Mrs. Hong.â
Mrs. Hong chuckled heartily, âMadam, your words are too kind. Ever since thereâs been a little one in your belly, Iâve felt so much lighter. Look, Iâve even gained weight recently. But you, Madam, youâve lost weight.â
Rong Qi had heard about her being âthinâ for the nth time. She naturally had a slender build, was frail as a child due to insufficient nutrition, and no matter how much she ate later on, she never gained weight. Even now, being pregnant and constantly nourished, her weight barely changed.
Mrs. Hong continued, âCarrying a child is tough, Madam. You must take good care of yourself and eat more. When the baby grows bigger, it will draw nutrition from you. If your body canât keep up, it will be very tiring.â
Rong Qi nodded, âDonât worry, Mrs. Hong, I understand. Please, have a seat.â
Mrs. Hong casually took a chair nearby, her gaze soft as she spoke to Rong Qi, âBy the way, I went to the Ye residence a few days ago to deliver some things to Old Master Ye and saw Mrs. Fan. She was asking about you.â
âOh? What did Mrs. Fan say?â Rong Qi scooped up some chicken soup, smiling at Mrs. Hong.
Mrs. Hong smiled back and said, âShe asked why you and Master Shen havenât visited the Ye residence lately. She wondered if Old Master Ye had offended you again. She said Little Faye also misses you, it even refused to eat for two days. Mrs. Fan said sheâs grateful to you because you saved her life.â
The danger of that time was known to Mrs. Hong; even the doctors had given up, but Rong Qi alone had managed to pull Mrs. Fan back from deathâs door.
Once again, Mrs. Hong internally marveled at Rong Qiâs medical prowess.
Rong Qi just smiled, not continuing the topic.
After sitting for a while, Mrs. Hong was called away by the butler.
Rong Qi had finished half a bowl of chicken soup when she noticed her phone vibrating on the table. She picked it up to see a message from the class group of Class 7, where she was mentioned both by her main and secondary accounts.
Han Ning: [Ms. Seven, we are having a get-together.. Are you coming? @Rong Qi]
