An Siqi, with every other word being 'we', put the blame squarely on Shi Yaoguang's head without hesitation, as if Shi Yaoguang wouldn't realize she was trying to manipulate the situation.
The live stream room was opened by An Siqi herself, and it had nothing to do with Shi Yaoguang. An Siqi wanted to make money, ignored product quality, carelessly endorsed and promoted products, and if anything went wrong, she was the primary person responsible.
Thinking about it, Shi Yaoguang said directly, "The live stream room is yours, and you were the one who sold the products. What does it have to do with me? Even if the school asks someone to withdraw, it's you they'd be asking, not me."
Upon hearing this, An Siqi panicked, "But haven't you promised that you would always help me?"
Shi Yaoguang retorted, "You've been using the name of the Shi Family's young miss to stream and sell products, tarnishing my reputation considerably. Haven't I helped you enough?"
"But you clearly said..."
"No need to say anymore, I am not going to clean up your mess."
Shi Yaoguang hung up the phone immediately.
Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, a hint of malice flashed through An Siqi's eyes.
Talking about good sisters, now that she's encountered such a small issue, Shi Yaoguang wouldn't even offer a hand.
As the young miss of the Shi Family, who would dare to make things difficult for Shi Yaoguang?
But she refused to lift a finger to help!
An Siqi clenched her fists, murmuring to herself, "Since you are unkind, do not blame me for being unjust!"
The assistant looked worried, "Xiaoqi sis, what should we do now? The victims are blocking the company's entrance..."
An Siqi lifted her eyes and gave her a cold look, "I have a way."
The assistant asked excitedly, "What way?"
An Siqi beckoned with her finger, and the assistant leaned in to listen.
After listening to her, the assistant's eyes widened, "Xiaoqi sis, isn't this... a bit too much?"
"What's wrong with it?" An Siqi scoffed coldly, "If you don't want to lose your job, then do as I say."
The assistant hesitated for a moment but agreed in the end.
Following An Siqi's instructions, the assistant went straight to Tang Baiwan, the company's public relations manager.
"Manager Tang, Xiaoqi sis didn't know the products she sold had issues. You're the only one who can help us now, you can't just stand by and watch us suffer~"
Tang Baiwan glanced at her with disdain and waved his hand irritably, "Go, go, go, this is a mess you made yourselves, I can't help you with it."
"Manager Tang..."
The assistant didn't give up easily, "Manager Tang, Xiaoqi sis said you're so capable, there must be a way to fix this. Please do the right thing!"
Tang Baiwan picked his teeth, his bright hint clear, "If you want my help, you can't just expect words to suffice, right?"
The assistant caught on quickly, "Xiaoqi sis isn't feeling well, she won't go home tonight, she'll be resting in room 8403 at the Clear Spring Hotel next door."
"The Xiaoqi live stream room is in trouble, I've got to help solve it and go visit her; it truly is troublesome..."
The assistant continued, "Manager Tang, Xiaoqi sis has already thought of a solution, you just need to say a word and it'll be taken care of."
Tang Baiwan raised an eyebrow, interested, "Then out with it."
The assistant lowered her voice and said, "Wasn't Xiaoqi sis's live stream channel promoted using the Shi Family's young lady? Now that there's an issue, it's natural for her to take responsibility! All you need to do is push the blame onto her, and then our Xiaoqi sis would be off the hook, right?"
"Alright then," Tang Baiwan tugged the corner of his mouth and clicked his tongue, "If we talk about being ruthless, women are indeed more ruthless."
...
Shi Yaoguang had hung up on An Siqi's call, but she knew An Siqi was not the kind to sit tight and do nothing.
In her previous life, she had not refused to help the other party.
It cost her dearly to finally settle the matter.
For this reason, the Shi Family had used up quite a few resources, and Shi Yaoguang's already disapproving parents became even more dissatisfied with her.
After the incident, An Siqi showed not the slightest gratitude towards her.
Upon returning to school, An Siqi gradually started hanging out with Shi Yiqing and became her faithful sidekick, even becoming a member of the malicious force that suppressed Shi Yaoguang.
Shi Yaoguang sighed as she thought about this.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw it was Quan Jinbei's number. As the call connected, his deep and pleasant voice came through, "Are you busy?"
Shi Yaoguang was taken aback, "It's the first day of school, after registration it's free time, do you need something from me?"
"The butler has specially prepared a nutritious meal for you and wanted to know when you'll be available so he can deliver it to you."
Hearing that the butler had prepared lunch for her, Shi Yaoguang was quite happy and immediately responded, "Please thank the butler for me, Third Master; having it delivered at noon will be fine."
Quan Jinbei agreed and hung up the phone without saying anything more.
Meanwhile, Tang Baiwan had already arranged everything.
Seeing the items prepared by Manager Tang, An Siqi showed joy on her face and her tone was seductive and tender, "Manager Tang, I knew you could do it~"
Tang Baiwan smirked with pride, then took the items back.
An Siqi was taken aback, "Manager Tang, what is this?"
Tang Baiwan spoke seriously, "Doing this kind of thing for you, if it were to be discovered, there's absolutely no benefit for me. If you want me to take the risk, you can't expect me to do it without any compensation, right?"
Upon hearing this, An Siqi understood what he meant.
Despite being completely opposed inside, she put on a bashfully coy face, "Manager Tang~ How could you say such things? If you take care of the matter for someone, can they just refuse to pay up?"
"That's not certain." Tang Baiwan was not bewitched by her few sweet words, "I still have to go home for dinner with my wife in the evening, but I am free at noon. As for you..."
An Siqi bit her lip and leaned closer to him, "Manager Tang, let's go have lunch together later, and then rest a bit together, okay?"
Only then did Tang Baiwan smile with satisfaction.
An Siqi watched the shaking mass of flesh that moved like a small mountain and dug her nails fiercely into her flesh.
Damn!
If it were not for Shi Yaoguang's unwillingness to help, why would she have to sleep with such a fat pig?
It was all her fault! If not for her, she wouldn't have to sacrifice her own...
The assistant was startled by her malevolent gaze and hesitantly stepped forward to hand her a room card, "Xiao, Xiaoqi sister..."
An Siqi snatched the room card forcefully and gave the assistant an impatient glare, "Get out!"
The assistant didn't dare say more and obediently walked out.
An Siqi watched her leaving, her heart filling with even more anger.
…
Shi Yaoguang was unaware that An Siqi was prepared to sacrifice her own dignity to drag her down.
She received the lunch delivered by the butler successfully—three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup, all her favorites.
After eating, she went to the playground.
To digest her food and, incidentally... to create an opportunity for those seeking to trouble her.
The incident with Nie Feng, after a morning of fermentation, had already spread throughout the school.
Shi Yiqing's Flower Guardians and the lackeys wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
She was waiting for them.
