Chapter 30 – The Storm [VIP Chapters Begin]
Lin Ganzhi hadn’t noticed Yan Shengping’s strange behavior for the time being, because he was currently scrolling through the comments and complaining to his agent.
“Brother Zhang, honestly, don’t you think Zhong Jingyi is,”
“So full of crap!” Zhang Dianhuai blurted out before Lin Ganzhi could finish his description. A sharp-tongued person speaks differently, expressing their displeasure in the most direct language in minutes. “Before, I would let the company’s artists interact with Zhong Jingyi. But after these two incidents with you, I briefly reviewed some of the trending topics Zhong Jingyi has been on over the years. Almost none of the people who were on par with him had a good ending. Even our company’s Que Jin was put down by him!”
“Sister Que Jin? What did he put her down for?”
“Hmph, a game show three years ago. He criticized her for not being as elegant and graceful as Zhong Jingyi.”
“Cough cough cough!” Lin Ganzhi was successfully choked. Was Zhong Jingyi participating in a dance competition? Graceful my ass!
When it came to Zhong Jingyi, Zhang Dianhuai completely opened up, ranting to Lin Ganzhi about this person’s feigned innocent history, and even adding at the end: “What kind of blind eye did I have before to think Zhong Jingyi was pure and cute?”
Oh ho, Zhong Jingyi’s protagonist filter actually shattered?
Lin Ganzhi crunched on his gossip.
“This time, I knew from the start that you couldn’t possibly be wearing a fake,” Zhang Dianhuai said with certainty.
“Brother Zhang!” Lin Ganzhi was slightly moved.
“A piece of clothing that costs over a thousand isn’t even as expensive as the fakes you used to buy!”
Lin Ganzhi: It was my mistake to have expectations of you.
“Can you contact that designer now?”
Lin Ganzhi wasn’t sure either. “I’ll ask my friend. He was the one who took me to buy the clothes last time.”
“Alright, it’s not a big problem. Zhong Jingyi has put down many people, so we don’t necessarily have to speak up this time. But you achieved results beyond the company’s expectations in this variety show, so the company’s current thinking is to cultivate you. For this matter, you just need to find the original designer and explain. Don’t be lazy and procrastinate. If you drag it out until Zhong Jingyi posts another long essay and makes our department work overtime, you know what will happen.”
Lin Ganzhi shivered. Why did he, a man with a hundred million, still find his agent so terrifying!
“I know, I know. I’ll go find the designer right now.”
Zhang Dianhuai nodded with satisfaction. Although his words were harsh, he was quite satisfied with Lin Ganzhi’s recent attitude and performance. He had initially seen the potential in Lin Ganzhi. That face, born to be in this business, didn’t need any tricks. It was just that the kid had gone down the wrong path before.
As for why Lin Ganzhi had changed so much, he attributed it all to his idol, Yan Shengping.
After ending the call, Lin Ganzhi immediately contacted Tian Nini and told her about the matter.
Tian Nini paused on the phone. “Ganzhi, Feibai has run off to some remote mountain forest to find inspiration. I can’t reach him at all. But, before,”
Yan Shengping’s fingers flew across his phone as he replied: [Ignore them. I’ll handle this.]
[Ahhhhhh, is it just my imagination, or am I sensing some domineering CEO vibes here!]
[The Big Shot is so cool!]
[It’s my honor to be a fan of the same artist as the Big Shot!]
[Okay, Big Shot, I’ll inform the sisters not to act rashly!]
Yan Shengping glanced at the screen and then exited the chat interface, just in time to hear Lin Ganzhi contacting Tian Nini.
“The person has been found.”
Lin Ganzhi looked over blankly.
Tian Nini on the phone was very excited. “Okay, CEO Yan! As expected of CEO Yan! Then I won’t disturb CEO Yan and Madam from watching TV. Bye-bye~”
Ma-Madam?!
Lin Ganzhi had unexpectedly acquired a new title.
Lin Ganzhi, whose comprehension was a bit slow, humbly asked, “Are we talking about the same thing?”
Yan Shengping gave a noble “mm.” “Didn’t Secretary Tian tell you? I already knew about this on the day of your interview. If it weren’t for you last night,” Yan Shengping’s gaze fell on Lin Ganzhi’s stomach.
Lin Ganzhi shyly covered his stomach.
It was all the fault of that two-and-a-half-kilogram crayfish concubine for seducing this lonely king. Don’t bring up old scores, have some shame, thank you!
“Then,” Lin Ganzhi originally wanted to ask why he didn’t resolve it immediately, but he was afraid that a certain mule would get upset and start arguing with him again, so he could only reply tactfully, “Thank you.”
The air was silent for a few seconds.
“Shouldn’t you be asking me why I knew about it but waited until you came back to resolve it?” Yan Shengping took an unexpected turn, his tone becoming quite dissatisfied, his handsome brows furrowing together.
Boss, don’t you have a bit of a princess complex?
“Um, then why did you wait until I came back to resolve this matter?” the very obedient student Lin Ganzhi asked.
“Heh, because Zhong Jingyi, just like you, can only see his phone on the day he gets back.” A chill emanated from Yan Shengping’s aura.
Gulp.
Lin Ganzhi swallowed. Your boss is still your boss. He’s still so ruthless in his actions.
But,
Lin Ganzhi gave a very supportive round of applause. “As expected of you!”
Although Yan Shengping couldn’t tell how much of Lin Ganzhi’s praise was sincere, seeing the person he cared about slightly on his side,
“Since you’ve married into the family, there’s no reason for you to be bullied by Zhong Jingyi every day,” Yan Shengping said sincerely. He paused for three seconds. Was he being too polite to Lin Ganzhi? “Bullying you is bullying me, and I’m just fighting back appropriately!”
Oh, well, good for you. Being kicked out of the Zhong family and having all your assets taken away definitely wasn’t Zhong Jingyi’s doing, right~
Lin Ganzhi’s words didn’t match his thoughts. On the surface, he was still praising him wildly, curing all of the boss’s recent unhappiness with rainbow farts.
But man proposes, God disposes. Before Lin Ganzhi could issue a statement, Zhong Jingyi’s divine assistance had already stepped forward.
@FuYiran: [(Image) This outfit was personally designed by my friend and then given to Jingyi by me as a gift. It’s one of a kind. @ZhongJingyi @ChiFeibai]
Fu Yiran, a member of Zhong Jingyi’s fanboy club and a well-known designer who had studied abroad, had over ten million followers on Weibo alone. With such a professional Big V coming out to explain for Zhong Jingyi, his fans became even more arrogant.
Before Lin Ganzhi could contact Chi Feibai, Wenren Yi’s call came in. “Damn it, can’t that white lotus Zhong Jingyi be less excessive? You already said in the show that it wasn’t the same piece, but he’s still hyping it up and leeching off you. Why isn’t he standing up to say something for you now?”
Lin Ganzhi sighed helplessly. “Do you believe me when I say I’ll be even more miserable if he posts a long essay?”
The two of them, who knew Zhong Jingyi’s character well: …
“Forget it, I was the one who started this. Your bro will solve the problem for you. I’ll just throw some money at them to shut them up!”
Lin Ganzhi was amazed. Is this the confidence that money gives you? Can you share a little with me? Not much, just a tenth will do!
Yan Shengping put down his empty teacup. The sound of Lin Ganzhi’s phone on speaker was exceptionally loud. Even if he didn’t want to hear it, he heard every word.
“Whose call is that?” Yan Shengping’s tone was low, even carrying a hint of probing coolness.
Lin Ganzhi looked up without any suspicion and said a name: “Wenren Yi.”
Yan Shengping’s gaze turned cold in an instant.
Heh.
Are the vegetables in the courtyard growing a bit too lush?
The vegetable seedlings: First of all, I definitely didn’t provoke you!
