Ah Nan briefly described what happened and Si Chuanbai, who was on the other end of the video call, looked cold and austere as if he was a discipline master who was supervising the elementary school students.
In fact...
In the meeting room, the crowd stared dumbfounded at Si Chuanbai, the man who was usually known as a ruthless work machine. However, at this moment, he was leaning back in his chair, twirling the black and gold pen between his fingers. He was obviously relaxed and sluggish.
The crowd looked at each other.
'Something is going on! There must be something happening!'
'Could it be that Mr. Si is on a video call with his girlfriend!?!'
"... Mr. Si, that's probably it." Ah Nan swallowed his saliva and hung his head low in frustration. "Go ahead and scold me."
Si Chuanbai asked, "What would I scold you for?"
"Yes, it was me who posted that picture, that's why I caused Pudding's fans to scold Xiang Yi..."
Pudding was an internet-famous cat influencer whose owner was named Ah Dai. The Weibo accounts and TikTok accounts managed by Ah Dai had all garnered several million followers each.
"If you want to condemn someone, you will find a hundred reasons to do so." Si Chuanbai pressed his eyebrows and said, "Don't bother, I'll handle it."
Ah Nan asked, "Huh? Just this?"
He thought it was a big deal, but Si Chuanbai actually reacted so nonchalantly.
Si Chuanbai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you questioning my competency?"
The man's tone was quite ambiguous.
Ah Nan, who had colorful hair, began to panic. He shook his head clumsily and stammered, "No... No, Mr. Si is very, very powerful. You're incredibly competent and capable in every aspect!"
A certain sentence of his pleased Si Chuanbai, a man who was as cold as a glacier that never melts. He smiled and said, "Okay, hand your phone to Xiang Yi for a moment."
"Okay, okay."
Ah Nan handed the phone to Xiang Yi.
The joy in the depths of Si Chuanbai's eyes faded and he returned to his cool and merciless work mode. "Some time ago, I happened to study some examples of successful online influencers. Ah Dai is one of those typical cases where her success is not accidental, but inevitable."
"Firstly, she has a team behind her to create a persona and image for her. Secondly, she's very persistent in hyping herself up and chasing clout. Thirdly, she repeatedly takes advantage of her fans. After a pause, he said, "I suspect that her cat, is no longer the same cat she used to have."
Xiang Yi squinted.
"But you don't have to take any of this to heart. Xiang Yi, I do have a lot of controversial material about her and her cat. If she wants to continue to provoke us, we won't be nice or merciful to her."
"I'll have to trouble you then, Mr. Si."
"You're welcome."
After hanging up the phone, Xiang Yi proceeded to search for a picture of Pudding.
It was a white ragdoll cat with fluffy fur, slightly folded ears, and different-colored pupils, one blue and one yellow. They totally resembled beautiful jewels.
Other influencer cats were chubby but Pudding was exceptionally fat, almost beyond the human perception of cats.
There were many cute cats, but their adorable qualities were mostly similar.
A unique cat like Pudding was really one of its kind so it managed to garner lots of fans.
Xiang Yi's frown grew deeper and deeper.
...
...
The location of the commercial shoot was set at a bed-and-breakfast on the outskirts of Nancheng.
The main colors in the room were almost only brown and pure white, which was especially clean and fresh.
When Xiang Yi arrived, Ah De had already been waiting for a long time and was holding a selfie stick while doing a livestream.
".... Thank you for the rainbow rain from Aunt Pudding. Pudding finally gets to eat some canned food today!" Ah Dai was skillfully interacting with her fans, and when she saw Xiang Yi, she immediately said exaggeratedly, "Wow! Xiang Yi is here!"
