Chapter 120: Touched by a Small Matter
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Tang Fangmo mentioned last night that he wouldn’t let it go, Zhang Qianqian became fearful. But when it was all said and done, she thought it would not be too extreme, right? At least leave her with something. Who would have thought she almost got blacklisted! She had spent the morning pacifying business partners and only had time around noon. So, she immediately went to find Tang Fangmo.
Tang Fangmo frowned. “The ‘Rainy Night’ matter? I was asleep shortly after coming home from drinking last night. I haven’t taken any action yet.”
Seeing this, Zhang Qianqian was also bewildered. “Wasn’t it arranged by someone you hired?”
“It really wasn’t me. I haven’t even started yet!” Tang Fangmo honestly admitted, “But whoever did it, I can only say they did a good job. Keep up the effort.”
Zhang Qianqian was speechless.
Before Zhang Qianqian could lose her temper, Tang Fangmo had the security personnel escort her out. After he returned to his room, he immediately messaged Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue was also surprised because it was not her doing either. She was busy dealing with matters related to the development zone.
Tang Fangmo thought for a moment and then called Qin Zhen. “Did you do something to Qingyue?”
“What’s happened to her again?”
Hearing Qin Zhen’s response, Tang Fangmo understood it wasn’t him either. Naturally, he did not waste words. Before hanging up, he cursed, “You dog of a man.”
Qin Zhen did not know what to say. In the middle of the day, does Tang Fangmo have a problem? He stared at his phone and almost threw it! He called back, about to speak, but Tang Fangmo cursed him again and then hung up. He called again in anger, only to find he had been blocked! With a dark expression, he called Gu Xiao in. “Find out what’s wrong with Zhang Qianqian.”
Gu Xiao did not understand why Qin Zhen was investigating a female celebrity again, but he started the investigation. Then he relayed the information back.
Qin Zhen frowned. “Can you find out who did it?”
Gu Xiao replied, “The heads of those few companies are being tight-lipped. We haven’t found any useful information.”
Couldn’t they find anything at all? Qin Zhen did not believe there were impenetrable walls in this world. The only person who could get close to this level was Chi Ming. With this thought, he sneered, “Chi Ming is quite considerate of Shen Qingyue, huh? Always keeping things hidden and not in the light.”
Gu Xiao noticed that the boss was in a bad mood and cautiously asked, “Do we need to continue the investigation?”
“What’s there to investigate?” Qin Zhen replied impatiently. Shen Qingyue had already cuckolded him, and she even had a child with Chi Ming. Why should he bother with her anymore? Not causing trouble for her was already giving her face.
Zhang Jianci helped arrange lunch for Chi Ming, eagerly carrying it in. “Boss, I’ve taken care of Zhang Qianqian’s matter. I guarantee she won’t appear on the big screen anymore!”
“Hmm,” Chi Ming responded lightly, walking over to the couch and sitting down. He noticed there was not just takeout, but also a pink lunchbox with a little cat design on it. Clearly, it did not quite fit in here.
Seeing Chi Ming’s gaze, Zhang Jianci explained, “My girlfriend made me this heart-shaped bento. This woman, she’s a troublemaker. Even though I said I’ve been eating well, she still insisted on making it for me. I can’t stop her; she likes to fuss, and I can’t do anything about it.” As he spoke, his smile grew wider, and he opened the lunchbox, turning to Chi Ming. “This homemade meal may not have the same standards as those from upscale restaurants.” The display of it could not be more obvious.
Chi Ming looked at him calmly, picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks, and said casually, “Does Yunting know about your previous relationships?”
Yunting was a quiet and obedient girl, and this was her first time in a romantic relationship. Zhang Jianci, in order to be with her, had never mentioned his history of romantic escapades abroad. If Yunting found out, he would be in big trouble.
Zhang Jianci looked at him. This was a blatant threat. He might be single, but that didn’t mean he could not show affection. However, even so, Zhang Jianci dared not retort; after all, he had a handle on him. Silently, he picked up the lunchbox, silently ate his meal, and did not say another word.
After lunch, Chi Ming picked up his phone and saw a message from Shen Qingyue: [I’ve finished washing the clothes. When do you have time for me to return them?]
Chi Ming: [No need. You don’t have to be so meticulous about me, do you?]
Right now, Shen Qingyue did not want to owe anyone any favors at all, otherwise, just like Qin Zhen did yesterday, they would keep bringing it up. She was truly exasperated. [Then, how about I treat you to a meal?]
Chi Ming: [Do you really want to repay me with this?]
Shen Qingyue: [Yes.]
Chi Ming thought about suggesting that she should make me a bento then. But in the end, he did not send that message and simply replied: [Let’s have a meal when you’re free.]
After sending the message, he put down his phone and slowly closed his eyes. Unknowingly, he wanted to get more from her, and even these small matters moved him..
