Zhang Xiaoshan scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I’ve got something I really need your help with."
Bai Shutong said angrily to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"You big jerk, ever since we parted ways at the hotel last time, you haven’t reached out to me once unless you need something from me. You, you..."
"But aren’t we good friends? Isn’t it only natural for me to ask you for help?"
"Doesn’t that just show we’re close and not strangers?"
Zhang Xiaoshan turned the tables.
"Well, at least try to sweet-talk me first. Don’t you know that women need to be coaxed?"
"Forget it, forget it. I won’t fuss with you, straight man. Anyway, you can’t understand me even if I try, and even if you do understand, you won’t do anything about it. Just tell me, what do you need to do?"
Bai Shutong asked, slightly displeased.
Seeing Bai Shutong’s upset look, Zhang Xiaoshan quickly sat beside her and said with a chuckle.
"Look at you, why do you get angry so easily? Of course, I miss you too. Dealing with business doesn’t conflict with thinking of you, does it?"
"That’s more like it."
Bai Shutong immediately cheered up.
"So tell me, what exactly is it?"
Zhang Xiaoshan rubbed his hands together.
"Actually, for a great journalist like you, it’s no big deal at all."
"I have a video that I want to spread, but it can’t be in public channels. Do you have any underground ways?"
"You’re not planning to do something illegal, are you?"
Bai Shutong looked at Zhang Xiaoshan in shock.
Zhang Xiaoshan rolled his eyes at her.
"What’s going on in that head of yours."
"I want to expose some dirt about a scumbag. It’s pretty explosive, and his family has a wide network, so I can’t release it openly. We need to think of other ways."
Bai Shutong’s sense of justice was immediately piqued.
"Hey, you definitely came to the right person."
"I’m experienced in this area. We’re not strangers, so I’ll be honest with you. I’m actually a contributing writer for underground forums. I often expose big companies’ unlawful practices through these channels."
"Also, it’s the era of self-media now. My WeChat public account has over a hundred thousand followers, and my Douyin has tens of thousands. Plus, I have many friends in the know, even huge bloggers with millions of followers."
"You can post whatever you want."
"However, they definitely charge money, and the price varies depending on the content’s sensitivity."
"Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a crooked agent, I don’t take a cent."
Bai Shutong quickly clarified.
Zhang Xiaoshan pinched Bai Shutong’s cheek.
"Why are you so cute? I wouldn’t mind spending a fortune on a car for you, would I nitpick over this?"
"Don’t worry, money isn’t a problem as long as it gets out there, the wider the reach, the better."
"What exactly is it?"
Bai Shutong asked curiously.
"I’ll send it to you, then you’ll know."
Zhang Xiaoshan had already backed it up on his phone and immediately sent the file to Bai Shutong.
It was a long video file, taking a while to transfer, progressing slowly.
"Heh, Zhang Xiaoshan, I’m helping you, so you gotta help me too, right?"
Bai Shutong chuckled.
"Help you, with what?"
"Playing dumb." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Bai Shutong rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaoshan. Zhang Xiaoshan got the hint, chuckled mischievously, and carried Bai Shutong into the bathroom.
"Splash splash splash."
Almost an hour later.
Zhang Xiaoshan carried the limp Bai Shutong out of the bathroom and laid her on the bed.
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Bai Shutong with a naughty smile.
Bai Shutong glared at him with mock anger but felt quite delighted inside.
"Alright, remember to handle my business. It’s getting late, I’m heading back to the village."
Zhang Xiaoshan bid farewell to Bai Shutong.
Bai Shutong lay there for a while, then got up.
By this time, the file had finished transferring.
"What’s so important that he went through so much trouble?"
Bai Shutong lay on the bed, picked up her phone, and opened the video.
Upon seeing the scenes in the video, Bai Shutong was utterly flabbergasted, her hair standing on end.
"This, this is way too much!"
