Who wants to take the civil service exam after being reborn?

Chapter 509 What if your girlfriend sees this?
With Chen's deliberate indulgence, many of his "indecent photos" were taken.

Interestingly, when Wan Xulin took the photos to a local newspaper in Guangdong, everyone shook their heads when they heard that it was an exposé of "zhongdachenzhuo's" scandal.

In 2008, there were virtually no personal self-media outlets, and television stations and newspapers were basically still derivatives of the "official mouthpieces."

Chen Zhe is a leading figure among the younger generation who has been highly commended by the province. To smear him at will is truly asking for trouble.

Wan Xulin reported this situation to Chen Zhe.

Chen paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth: "Damn it, then I'll go to another province! I refuse to believe that such a great country can't find someone who hates me!"

This is a bit of overconfident boasting.

Once outside of Guangdong, everyone is willing to take orders.

Your influence in Guangdong is irrelevant to Fujian, Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, and Shaanxi... What business is it of mine?

At most, it's just about saving face. After all, based on interviews since Chen's "debut," he's a middle-class grassroots entrepreneur with no family background, but he's a young entrepreneur who is devoted to the red flag, has a strong sense of nationalism, and is high-profile in his work but low-profile in his personal life.

Therefore, no one made up stories or used a sarcastic tone; they simply inquired about Mr. Chen's personal relationship status with curiosity.

Wan Xulin used to report every day, but later Chen was so busy negotiating with Qu Ming that he simply handed everything over to Wan Xulin.

To some extent, this fraudster's loyalty to Chen Zhe may even exceed that of 99% of the original employees.

In addition, Wan Xulin's identity is different from others.

Chen Zhe never allowed him to be included in the normal employee sequence of the retrospective, so even if the investigation led to Lao Wan, he could claim that it had nothing to do with the retrospective.

"Chen Zhe! Where are you?"

Just two or three days later, Chen suddenly received a call from Deng Zhi.

His tone was anxious, as if something extremely serious had happened.

"I'm here in the Science and Technology Valley, getting ready to go out for a social event."

Chen could roughly guess what was going on.

Since Sister Zhizhi works in the newspaper industry, it's not surprising that she was the first to see these out-of-province news stories when others hadn't.

However, Chen, still in the act, pretended not to understand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's hard to say over the phone. I'll come to see you. You can have your social engagements later."

Deng Zhi hung up the phone in a hurry.

Less than twenty minutes later, Sister Zhizhi's little BMW arrived at the parking lot of the Science and Technology Valley.

She carried a file folder containing several black-and-white newspapers and magazines. She walked briskly, her high heels clicking on the cobblestones, her bare ankles leaving a lingering, suggestive impression.

But she was really in a hurry; she didn't even know when she had lost one of her usual blue Cartier earrings.

Only one earring remained on her left ear, shimmering forlornly in the wind.

Chen felt a little guilty because his little scheme had made Zhizhi, who was unaware of the truth, so worried.

"Chen Zhe".

Deng Zhi's face was serious, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her smooth forehead.

"What's wrong?"

Chen frowned; his acting skills had always been quite good.

Deng Zhi waved the file bag in her hand and said in a deep voice, "Let's find a place to talk."

"Is it serious?"

Chen feigned surprise, looked up, pointed to the small pavilion in the park, and said, "Let's go over there."

Deng Zhi followed behind and they sat down in the pavilion.

A gentle breeze brushed against my neck, then rippled across the artificial lake. A few dried leaves drifted down, carrying this tranquil scene in the sunset.

Perhaps it was because the surrounding scenery was so soothing, or perhaps it was because she saw the person in question, but Deng Zhi's anxiety was gradually calmed down.

Chen was waiting silently, when he caught a whiff of minty perfume.

"So it turns out that Sister Zhizhi likes a clean and refreshing scent, and her skin should be smooth and clean."

Chen thought to himself.

"Take a look at this." Deng Zhi took out the newspapers and magazines from the folder, interrupting Chen's reverie.

They weren't "local specialties," but rather publications from other well-known provincial newspapers such as the Yangtze Evening Post, Chutian Metropolis Daily, and Xiaoxiang Morning Post.

Of course, the content is all similar, directly addressing "the love problems of college student entrepreneur Chen Zhe".

However, the accompanying pictures are different for each one.

Chen was able to read the pages silently, one by one, because he had reviewed all the "female protagonists" here.

What about Qianhuang, Liu Han (a female high school classmate), Cheng Mengyi (a female high school classmate)...

However, later on, because he needed to negotiate with Qu Ming, he handed all of this over to Wan Xulin, and the character suddenly became "strange".

Mu Jiawen, Wu Yu, Zhao Yuanyuan, Zhu Xiuxiu, Yin Huixuan (Qu Ming's secretary), Chen Lu (a female staff member who just passed the exam to join the Renhe Town Party Committee)...

And he always spoke to them with a smile on his face.

Or, from the angle of the photo, you might be gazing at them with "affectionate eyes".

"This is fucking slander!!!"

Chen was furious: "These girls are all my friends, some of them are even business partners!"

Honestly, there's very little acting involved here; he's genuinely angry.

"I know it's slander, don't be alarmed."

Unaware of the situation, Deng Zhi comforted them, saying, "If it doesn't work, let's call the police first. There must be someone behind this large-scale smear campaign."

Upon hearing the words "call the police," Chen blinked and suddenly calmed down.

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and the tallest branch gets beaten with a stick."

Chen sighed, "Sister Zhizhi, it's obvious that the learning website offended some people during its expansion, so it's being retaliated against."

"Who could that be?"

Deng Zhi was guided to think in this direction: "Could it be Yu Minhong from New Oriental? I saw that he expressed different opinions on the development model of Learning.com, and since you are both in the education and training industry, you are competitors, right?"

"Very likely! I used to admire Teacher Yu quite a bit!"

Chen said indignantly, but in his heart he was thinking, "Min, you can take the blame for this. At worst, when Su Hui also creates a Douyin account, I'll give you more traffic support when your New Oriental is doing live broadcasts on it."

"But it might not be. Chen, don't overthink it."

Deng Zhi's reaction was that of a normal person: "My suggestion is to call the police first. You can talk to many leaders in the province now. If you put in a word, they will definitely be able to open a case for investigation."

"Reporting to the police is fine, and filing a case isn't difficult either, the problem is..."

Chen slowly exhaled and picked up the pile of newspapers again: "These newspapers don't name names but say it's my girlfriend. Most of them are in a questioning tone. If we forcibly use administrative power to interfere, once it's exposed, the consequences will be hard to handle."

"Is that so?"

In fact, Deng Zhi did not think this was using administrative power, but it was understandable that Chen was concerned about his position and did not want to leave any room for gossip.

"But we can't let them continue to smear us!"

Deng Zhi said in an unquestionable manner.

"Sister Zhizhi, how about this?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen said, "I'll contact these newspapers privately first. If I'm sure there's a mastermind behind this, I will definitely use legal means to protect my reputation and rights!"

Deng Zhi pondered for a moment: "That should work, I'll give you the phone numbers of those newspaper editors."

Chen thought to himself that it didn't need to be so complicated, as all these numbers were saved on his computer.

After Deng Zhi sent the number, looking at this calm and composed "younger brother," she couldn't help but say admiringly, "Chen Zhe, you are really mature now, like a general who has seen many storms, able to handle these things calmly."

"what……"

Chen blushed slightly. "I, Director Chen, am the producer and screenwriter for this matter. Why should I be in such a hurry?"
"If even popular celebrities can be the target of false rumors, what's this?"

Chen shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction with the domestic media. He was thinking about interrogating Wan Xulin later, wondering why they were filming everyone.
"By the way, those reports are from outside the province, but they will eventually get here."

Suddenly remembering something, Sister Zhizhi frowned and asked, "What if your real girlfriend sees this?"
