The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 705: Former Lovers

Breakfast was supposed to be peaceful and calm, but Song Yansheng couldn’t find peace. During one breakfast, he received two or three phone calls.

Initially, he would discreetly step out to take the calls, each lasting just a minute or two.

Later, getting truly annoyed, he frowned and said harshly, "Can’t you handle something as simple as this? Chi Rui, are you looking to get fired?"

When Shi Nuan heard this, she realized that he was directly scolding Chi Rui, which indicated that the matter was quite serious!

After Song Yansheng hung up the phone, Shi Nuan hesitated for a moment but finally asked, "Second Uncle, is something... wrong?"

Song Yansheng slightly moved his thin lips and gave Shi Nuan a faint smile, saying, "Nothing, just some company matters..."

Shi Nuan responded with an "oh" and didn’t ask further.

...

Meanwhile, Chi Rui, who was hung up on by Song Yansheng, felt a sudden urge to cry.

Early this morning, Chi Rui got the news that the journalist who secretly filmed Song Yansheng at the cheongsam show had been found by Shen Zui.

Not only that, but Shen Zui also hired him. Although the specific position was unclear, this development made Chi Rui feel troubled.

Firstly, he didn’t know through what channels Shen Zui found this journalist. Secondly, he had no idea what Shen Zui intended to do with the journalist.

He relayed all this to Song Yansheng, who curtly replied, "I want this journalist to disappear from T City!"

Chi Rui thought that if Song Yansheng had been ruthless from the start, none of these ensuing problems would have existed.

Now that the journalist had aligned with Shen Zui, meddling wouldn’t be so straightforward for Song Yansheng.

Of course, the series of calls he made weren’t solely about the journalist.

Additionally, today Ji Xiangling, along with her mother, Ji Yunjin, was to be interviewed by a media outlet.

This incident technically had nothing to do with Song Yansheng, but rumors online stated that Ji Xiangling and Song Yansheng were ex-lovers, a couple abroad in the past.

Such news spread quickly; anything related to Song Yansheng naturally circulated fast.

Since Song Yansheng rarely appeared in rumors, this sudden mention of "ex-lovers" sparked curiosity.

Song Yansheng instructed Chi Rui to swiftly eliminate these tabloid stories from the internet.

Chi Rui really felt like crying. These netizens shared the news via Weibo, friend circles, tieba, forums, and various social apps and platforms.

How could it be so easy to eliminate?

All he did was point out the difficulties, and he was severely reprimanded by Song Yansheng.

Now, Qiao Yichi and Yao Ziwan were out of town on business trips, leaving Song Yansheng to dump these difficult messes on him.

He felt like he might as well be fired already!

...

Shi Nuan hadn’t seen Song Yansheng’s overall news yet, but others had.

For instance, Chu Jingyun, the protagonist of the events, Ji Xiangling.

When Ji Xiangling saw the reports, she was shocked and asked her mother, "Why are they linking me with A Yu? I’ve never publicly mentioned my relationship with A Yu..."

Ji Yunjin replied, "I purposely had them warm up the topic this way..."

Ji Xiangling was stunned: "Mom, why did you do this? You know, I disdain using such means to link myself with him, and back abroad with him..."

"I know..." Ji Yunjin said, "But Xiangling, since you’ve decided to develop your career domestically, you must establish yourself quickly. Using A Yu isn’t what I intended. Yet he unjustly caused my daughter such grievances; as a mother, I can’t stand it!"
