The group chat was buzzing with activity, and finally, a consensus was reached:
**[@Nian Nian You Yu: Listen up, ladies. There's still a way to salvage this. Didn't the official account announce that we can vote for the guest lineup? We can push our own person into the show! They can keep an eye on everything for us!**
This suggestion received instant approval from everyone.
Yu Si Nian sat in his car, his gaze shifting away from the chat log.
He clicked on the screenshot and then opened another group chat called **[Shower CP, Charge for the Lord]**, which already had over 20,000 members.
**[@Swallowed the Shower Key: Image**
**[@Swallowed the Shower Key: The enemy group is plotting to sabotage our CP. Ladies, let's go! We'll pick someone too, to keep their person in check!**
The young master typed with enthusiasm.
When he looked up, he saw Cheng Dong sitting across from him with a constipated expression.
"Young master, you... you, you..."
It was one thing to join a CP fan group, which was within the bounds of his understanding.
But why were you the group admin???
Yu Si Nian narrowed his eyes. "Cheng Dong, have you forgotten what my grandmother said before she passed away?"
Cheng Dong immediately collapsed in the car, reaching into the air with trembling hands, imitating her voice, "As long as Nian Nian is happy, he can do whatever he likes... Cough, cough..."
"Now tell me, am I happy?" The young master leaned in, baring all 16 of his teeth.
Cheng Dong studied his face closely. "Very happy."
"Then shut up and get out!"
"Yes, sir!"
Cheng Dong turned and left!
Outside, he glanced back, recalling the latter half of the grandmother's words—
"Nian Nian has never been unconditionally spoiled. He's not really mischievous, just seeking attention. So no matter if he burns his father's beard or comes out of the closet, you two must fully support him."
Cheng Dong sighed to the sky.
Granny, you underestimated him. Burning a beard would have been easier.
Cheng Dong gritted his teeth and told Cheng Xi, "For the 500,000 yuan Granny left me, I'll hold on no matter what!"
"What?!" Cheng Xi turned sharply, "500,000?! Why did I only get 400,000?!"
Cheng Dong: "..."
Oops, I let it slip. The extra 100,000 was a love fund, specifically for helping the young master in his love life!
Cheng Xi shouted, "Explain this to me right now!"
Upstairs in the office.
Qiao Xi approached Yu Si Nian and suddenly pulled out a pile of snacks from her bag.
First, two rows of Wahaha drinks.
Then lollipops, Want Want crushed ice, green tongues, potato chips, preserved plums, spicy strips...
Finally, she dumped them all out, smiling as she asked, "Nian Nian, which one do you like? Take your pick."
"Smack."
The young master grabbed the spicy strips.
No special reason, just felt lucky.
Qiao Xi sat down with a Want Want drink in hand, "Now that you've accepted my snacks, you can't make a fuss when I talk to you later."
Yu Si Nian immediately returned the snacks.
"Not really in the mood to eat."
The next second, Qiao Xi stood up, tore open a package, and started feeding him.
"Open your mouth, be good, yes, chew, swallow..."
Yu Si Nian was speechless the moment she got close.
After she coaxed him into eating, she noticed the young master had pursed his lips, as if expecting something.
Xiao 6: "The villain... might want you to..."
"Shhh, shhh, shhh!" Qiao Xi grabbed a tissue and started wiping his mouth furiously, cleaning it up and tossing the tissue away.
Xiao 6: "..."
Forget it, I'll stay quiet.
"Alright, you've eaten, and I wiped your mouth, now let's talk business."
Qiao Xi plopped down. "I'm going to join a romance reality show."
She knew that even though the young master had no feelings for her, he was still very sensitive about the idea of being "cuckolded."
Going on the show would probably cause a big fuss for at least three days and nights.
After speaking, Qiao Xi braced herself for a storm.
Instead, the young master smiled slightly, "Oh, that? Great news! Go ahead, I'm really happy for you. You're sure to find true love on the show!"
Qiao Xi: ?
She dragged him to the balcony, "Are you planning to jump with Niu Qiang? How dare you be so sarcastic..."
"I'm serious! I swear! If I'm lying, Cheng Xi will never find love!"
Outside, Cheng Xi: ???!!!
He quickly clasped his hands together, praying to the sky, "Buddha, reflect it back! Reflect it back! You know who's more trustworthy, right?"
Inside, Qiao Xi paused, suspiciously pulling him back.
The young master happily straightened his clothes, maintaining his handsome demeanor, "I'll be busy in three days as well. With neither of us around, Li Cheng will probably put all his energy into going after the company. The quarterly report is out next week, this is his last chance to strike back, and I've heard he's already set up a livestreaming department. That old guy definitely wants to challenge us! Let's crush him!"
Qiao Xi smiled, "I've already prepared three steps. Don't worry."
"What are the three steps?"
Qiao Xi beckoned, and their heads came together immediately.
"The first step is a bit weak, can be ignored. The person should be at Yu Corporation by now..."
Yu Corporation.
"Manager Li! We've just started recruiting streamers, and someone has already come to apply. I think... you should take a look."
The secretary knocked on the door and then stepped aside.
Outside, a figure stumbled in, pounding the floor and crying loudly!
"Qiao Xi is inhumane! I will never forgive her!"
Li Cheng: ?
The person on the floor looked up, and he recognized him.
It was Zhou Ninghuan, with a swollen face. Easy to recognize, because Qiao Xi had beaten him up so many times on the show.
Li Cheng squinted, motioning for everyone else to leave.
Zhou Ninghuan sat on a chair, vividly describing, "You have no idea, Manager Li! Her big hands are like shovels, smacking my face like crazy! My face is expensive, you know! How could it take such a beating? Not to mention my 120,000-yuan implants, just last month's hyaluronic acid injections..."
"Why don't you get to the point?" Li Cheng interrupted impatiently after hearing a long list of cosmetic surgery costs, "Why are you here?"
"What? Why am I here? Isn't it obvious?!"
Zhou Ninghuan stood up and ripped open his clothes!
Li Cheng recoiled in shock!
"You..."
The next second, a bright red thermal shirt appeared in front of Li Cheng's eyes!
Zhou Ninghuan raised his hand to the sky, "I have no way out, but I will ensure your success! I'm here to—apply as a streamer!"
Li Cheng: "..."
"You, you, you... get out! Too red, it hurts my eyes!"
"Don't do this, Manager Li! I have many poses to show you! My professionalism is unparalleled! Look, look!"
He began demonstrating an array of positions right then and there.
Even as he was being dragged out, Zhou Ninghuan was still shouting, "Manager Li, trust me! I swear I won't rest until I've seen Qiao Xi fail!"
The man was gone, and the secretary reentered.
No one dared speak for a moment, the floor littered with the cotton stuffing from the thermal underwear.
"Boss Li, can we trust him?" the secretary asked.
Li Cheng rubbed his temples, "His acting is fake, but the marks on his face don't seem fake. Qiao Xi wouldn't beat someone up just for show. Hire him."
Elsewhere, Zhou Ninghuan received his acceptance letter and excitedly crouched by a wall to make a call—
"Sister Xi! I've successfully gone undercover! I accidentally fell and hurt my face on the way here, can that be counted as a work injury? ...What? How did I pass the interview? Of course, it was due to my superb acting skills! You have no idea, I performed so well that Li Cheng was moved to tears! Go ahead and do your show, leave ruining Li Cheng's performance to me!"
