The manager was so angry that her temples throbbed.
âThe problem is that the PR is unable to deal with this situation!â
âHow can the PR fail to get rid of the trending topic? Did Brother Shiyuan hire you all just to slack off?â
Tang Qidai was used to being rude and unreasonable.
Once her manager annoyed her, sheâd scold her right away.
The manager had a stormy expression on her face as she said, âYouâve gone ahead and done it this time. The PR department canât do anything about it. President Lu must be the one to deal with this personally.â
âWhat?â
Tang Qidai picked up her phone doubtfully and clicked on the topic.
Jiang Tangâs Weibo post was the top post.
She clicked on the main page and took a look.
âIsnât she just a content creator?â Tang Qidai replied disdainfully. âWhatâs the big deal?â
âThe source material that appeared in her video is something that you canât afford to buy even if you compile all of the salaries that you earned since your debut together!â the manager retorted with a sneer
Tang Qidai frowned, thinking that her manager was lying to her. âHow is that possible? She doesnât exist among the circle of young rich girls in Xu City!â
âXu City isnât the only place in this world. You can easily find rich people out on the streets if youâre in Capital City!â
The manager used to think that Tang Qidai was a little smart.
Now, she felt that Tang Qidai was an idiot.
She didnât know how such an idiot like her was able to gain Lu Shiyuanâs favor.
Tang Qidai finally started to get anxious. âWhat do we do now?â
âYou should call President Lu.â The managerâs attitude improved a little. After all, Lu Shiyuan was really nice to Tang Qidai.
Tang Qidai might be a complete buffoon, but that didnât stop Lu Shiyuan from liking her.
Tang Qidai called Lu Shiyuan several times in a row.
But Lu Shiyuan didnât pick up.
âHeâs probably in a meeting at the moment. Iâll go to the company to find him.â Tang Qidai felt a little uneasy.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Shiyuan would pick up her call immediately.
Was it because he saw Lin Shanchu today and got bewitched?
The more Tang Qidai thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
She also knew that everything she had now was all thanks to Lu Shiyuan.
She had to hold on to Lu Shiyuanâs heart tightly.
Lu Corporation.
In the presidentâs office.
Lu Shiyuan was sitting in front of his desk with open documents in front of him.
At first glance, he seemed to be working seriously.
However, upon a closer look, one would realize that Lu Shiyuan wasnât even looking at the documents. He was just in a daze.
Zhou Yan pushed the door open and came in to bring him coffee.
âPresident Lu, hereâs your coffee.â
He lowered his head and glanced at the document.
Then, he realized that the page was the same as when he had entered half an hour ago.
President Lu had been like this ever since he came back from the production crew of âMy Stageâ.
Zhou Yan did not dare to say anything more either.
He turned around and left.
Just as he closed the door, he heard Tang Qidaiâs voice.
âAssistant Zhou.â
âMs. Tang.â
Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief before taking the initiative to say, âPresident
Lu has been in a bad mood ever since he came back.â
âI know. Iâve brought dinner for Brother Shiyuan. You donât have to order for him anymore.â
Tang Qidaiâs nerves relaxed. It seemed like Lin Shanchu had done something stupid again to make Brother Shiyuan unhappy.
It was just what she wanted.
Tang Qidai fixed her hair at the doorway and pushed it open.
âBrother Shiyuan.â
She called out to him twice in a row before Lu Shiyuan came back to his senses and looked at her.
âQidai?â Lu Shiyuanâs expression softened after noticing Tang Qidai.
âI brought you dinner.â Tang Qidai sized up Lu Shiyuanâs expression. âBrother Shiyuan, are you unhappy?â
Lu Shiyuan looked at her without saying a word.
âIs it because of Shanshan? You know what sheâs like. Sheâs been like this since she was young, so donât take her words to heart. After all, her parentsâ¦â
At this point, Tang Qidai stole a glance at Lu Shiyuanâs expression. She deliberately sighed and stopped talking.
Lu Shiyuan sneered. âI kept her around in the Lu family because her parents were the benefactors of my family! As for her? Heh!â
Lu Shiyuan heaved a long sigh afterward. Then, he looked at Tang Qidai with a gentle gaze.
âQidai, youâre always so kind. Donât speak up for Lin Shanchu anymore. Sheâs not worth it! â
Tang Qidai wore a puzzled and awkward expression.
âEver since Shanshan participated in the show, her popularity has been rising. Although her fans are a little radical, Iâm still very happy for her.â
âWhatâs wrong with her fans?â Lu Shiyuan frowned.
âItâs fine, Brother Shiyuan.â Tang Qidai looked sad, but she didnât say anything about her woes.
Lu Shiyuan directly called the internal line to summon Zhou Yan into the office.
Zhou Yan told him about Tang Qidaiâs appearance on the trending list.
âI never expected that my fans would scold the poster,â Tang Qidai explained with reddened eyes. âI just wanted to give you and Shanshan my well-wishesâ¦â
âI know,â Lu Shiyuan comforted her gently.
After that, he personally made a call to settle the matter.
âBrother Shiyuan,â Tang Qidai said gratefully. âYouâre so nice to me. I donât know how to thank you.â
âThatâs what I should do.â
Lu Shiyuan recalled what Lin Shanchu had said to him. âYouâre so gentle and understanding. Iâm worried that youâll be bullied. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately, okay?â
âYes.â Tang Qidaiâs sadness vanished on the spot as she smiled happily.
The moment she walked out of Lu Shiyuanâs office.
The smile on Tang Qidaiâs face faded.
It was replaced by smugness and ruthlessness.
Brother Shiyuan hated Lin Shanchu more and more.
It seemed that he had given up on Lin Shanchu.
Tang Qidai opened her WeChat contact list and clicked on Jiang Ziyuâs moments page.
She scrolled to a post she had posted half a month ago:
[My vacation has ended. Iâm now officially joining the production crew of âMy Stageâ.]
The corners of Tang Qidaiâs mouth slowly curled upward, revealing a cold and sinister smile.
She returned to the chat interface and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Ziyu.
[Are you busy?]
Jiang Ziyu replied instantly, [Nope.]
[We havenât seen each other for a long time. Letâs have a cup of coffee
together.]
Jiang Ziyu replied, [Okay!]
The topic #Tang Qidai has instigated her fans to cyberbully someone was removed just as it climbed to the top ten ranking of the trending list. The netizens realized the topic had disappeared just as they were discussing it.
They were both confused and angry.
[Amazing! Instead of apologizing, she decided to remove the topic from the trending list!]
[Tang Qidai sure is awesome, huh?]
[Is Tang Qidai really the awesome one? The capital backing her up is the true MVP.]
[Letâs be more straightforward. Lu Shiyuan is seriously disgusting.]
[I used to like Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu being a couple. Now, I felt like I just ate a pile of dung.]
[Lin Shanchu has been helping the members in the talent show for the entire afternoon and has yet to rest. Meanwhile, Lu Shiyuan helped his so-called good friend remove the trending topic outside the show. How wonderful!] [This adulterous couple is too disgusting. Iâm going to watch âMy Stageâ just to cleanse my eyes.]
[Bring me along. Iâm going too.]
It was already nine oâclock at night, but Lin Shanchu was not asleep yet.
In Class Bâs training room.
Ning Yunxi collapsed on the ground. âBig Sister, I canât do it anymore. Iâm seriously a bad dancer. Sobâ¦â Lin Shanchu dragged her to her feet calmly. âNo, you can do it.â
The comments filled the screen.
[Hahaha! Iâve been watching them for the whole afternoon! The more I watch, the more addicted I become! Hahaha!]
[I just came here.. Can someone tell me what happened?]
