Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 49. She would blame herself.
The night is getting darker.

However, for Hou Taojiu, who possesses the traits of an owl, the nightlife has only just begun.

The boy was hugging his phone, laughing heartily under the covers, when suddenly his expression changed. He sat up abruptly, threw off the covers, and yelled, "Wake up! Wake up!"

Apart from Lu Lishen, who was still sitting in front of the computer debugging the newly developed system, everyone else in the dormitory had already fallen asleep.

Hou Taojiu's loud shout almost made the three of them think they had met their great-grandmother.

Especially Jiang Wang.

"What's the fuss about?"

His voice was hoarse, and the corners of his eyes were red from lack of sleep. He raised his hand and threw the pillow he was sitting on, hitting the boy squarely in the face.

Jiang Wang, however, didn't care about that: "No, you, you quickly check Weibo! Gossip about your ex-brother-in-law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lishen's fingers paused on the keyboard.

Jiang Wang instantly perked up and jumped off the bed: "Who are you talking about?"

Hou Taojiu: "Look, Ji Yanci, the heir of the Ji family, has had his new romance exposed... I remember your sister's previous arranged marriage partner had this name, right?"

Jiang Wang took it and saw that it really was!
He sneered inwardly.

I had heard before that Ji Yanci was secretly keeping a woman outside, but I didn't expect her to be an artist.

"Bah, scumbag!"

Jiang Wang cursed in disgust.

Fortunately, his sister's husband wasn't him.

A man who doesn't respect himself is like a rotten cabbage.

Ji Yanci is just a rotten cabbage; his sister doesn't care for him at all!
Lu Lishen, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly stood up and walked out.

Seeing this, Shao Ming asked, "Old Lu, where are you going?"

Lu Lishen said calmly, "Restroom."

The dormitory door was closed.

Hou Tao scratched his head. "Why would you take your laptop to the restroom?"

Shao Ming gave him a meaningful look, then shook his head and sighed: "So you're a single dog."

Then I lay back down and covered my head to sleep.

Jiang Wang returned to bed and picked up her phone to send a message to Jiang Jixu, but she was afraid that Ji Yanci's scandal would affect her mood. After tossing and turning, she could only find Jiang Jinian and accidentally clicked on her profile picture twice.

A line of small text appeared on the phone screen instantly.

You patted "Nian" and called out affectionately, "Dad."

Jiang Wang's face darkened instantly.

Forgot my own name: [Can you please change that thing of yours?! Why do you always have to take advantage of everything?]

read:【???】

Forgot my own name: [Did you see the trending topic about Ji Yanci's new relationship?]

read:【???】

Jiang Wang remained silent, his fingertips flying rapidly across the screen.

[Are you speechless except for question marks? Ji Yanci is trending! Why are you sending me a string of question marks?!]

read:【……】

Read: [Where is the trending topic you mentioned?]

Jiang Wang stared in disbelief at the line of text the other party had sent.

Immediately afterwards, I quickly opened the screenshot of the trending topics list on Weibo sent by Jiang Jinian, and my eyes widened involuntarily.

Gone.

Ji Yanci's Weibo post is gone!

He then used his phone to switch to the Weibo interface.

I searched through the top 100 trending topics on Weibo several times, and also directly searched for keywords in the search box.

Not only were there no results for the keywords, but there wasn't even a single discussion thread online.

It was as if that trending topic had never existed.

Jiang Wang was in a daze when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Lishen returning from the doorway. He seemed to realize something and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Chat with Lu Lishen privately.

Forgot his own name: [You did it.]

Lu: [What?]

Jiang Wang gritted his teeth. [Who else could be trending on Weibo besides you? Don't play dumb!]

land:【……】

Lu: [She will blame herself.]

Jiang Wang stared at the four words in the green bubble, knowing that "she" here refers to Jiang Jixu, but why would his sister blame herself?

Just as I was about to ask, I found that Lu Lishen had already sat down at the table.

The computer screen still showed the system debugging interface, but in the corner there was a row of scaled-down WeChat chat boxes.

It's a chat window with Jiang Jixu.

Apart from the location address of Binjiang Pavilion, the page is completely empty.

The man's gaze kept drifting over it.

Jiang Wang was slightly taken aback, and his expression turned strange.

Is Lu Lishen, that dog, waiting for news from his sister?

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Jiang Wang noticed a small red dot next to Jiang Jixu's profile picture frame.

Lu Lishen received news from the girl.

Even though it only contains two words: "Good night".

He was content.

Her eyes were filled with a delicate, captivating light, and a slight smile played on her lips as she slowly and carefully typed out two words and sent them.

"Good night."

The next day, Jiang Jixu got up early and rushed to the Ji family.

She hopes to resolve the trending topic issue as soon as possible in order to protect Jiang's stock price.

Looking at the towering office building in front of him, Jiang Jixu pursed his lips slightly.

This was not her first time visiting the Ji family.

In the past, in order to complete Ji's outsourced orders, she rushed here with design drawings more than once, making revisions again and again, only to have them rejected time and time again.

She knew the other person was deliberately making things difficult for her.

But because of Ji Yanci, he persevered and continued working on it.

Now that things have ended with Ji Yanci, she can finally end this painful job.

Jiang Jixu gripped the bag strap tightly and stepped into the Ji family's gate.

The receptionist smiled and asked her, "Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?"

Jiang Jixu: "I'm looking for your General Manager Ji; I have an appointment."

"Okay, please wait a moment while I check with the president's office."

While waiting, Jiang Jixu suddenly heard a familiar mocking voice behind him.

"Oh, isn't this our great designer? What brings you to the Ji family?"

Jiang Jixu paused slightly, turned around, looked at the person who came in, and said in a very calm tone: "Manager Wang."

Wang Ling pouted her red lips and looked down at her condescendingly: "Designer Jiang, if I remember correctly, our company's cooperation with your little studio has ended. Even if you come back to beg me now, I can't do anything to cheat you, right?"

"This company isn't owned by my family. If your design doesn't pass muster, I'll have to find another company to work with, right, Designer Jiang?"

The woman spoke with a smile, but her eyes held a hidden sarcasm.

Jiang Jixu didn't want to waste time arguing with her today, so he turned to look at the front desk.

"Has it been verified?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, we have checked with the secretariat to see Mr. Ji's schedule for today, and there is no record of your appointment."

"I can reschedule for you, but it's unlikely we'll be able to see President Ji today."

Before Jiang Jixu could speak, Wang Ling next to him burst out laughing in an exaggerated and disdainful manner.

"Someone like you think you can see President Ji?"

"No wonder some people can't draw well; they've been focusing all their energy on seducing men!"

She deliberately raised her voice, attracting the attention of many people around her.

Wang Ling continued smugly, "You think you can hook up with someone like our CEO Ji? Stop daydreaming. With your lousy designs, you'll never amount to anything!"

Faced with the mockery, Jiang Jixu raised his eyebrows and suddenly burst out laughing.

“I know whether my design is good or not, but Wang Ling, do you know what the consequences will be if your abuse of power in the company and your embezzlement of projects are exposed?”

Xu Bao is so cool! Please vote for me, my darlings!
Tomorrow we'll get to the part where Xu Bao confronts Ji Yanci!
