After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 405 There are no mistresses, only legitimate wives.

Scrolling through the comments, Liang Can muttered under his breath, "What Uchiha Sasuke? I clearly look like Minato Namikaze."

Have you even watched Naruto, you idiot?

Whether Liang Can looks like Minato Namikaze or Sasuke Uchiha is debatable.

After all, Chan himself thinks he's even more handsome than the two mentioned above.

The most boring thing in the world is being an online friend.

Soon, someone had already dug up all the information about Liang Can, Sheng Shuyi, and Wen Xiying.

"Did you notice? All three of them are from Ning City. Liang Can and Sheng Shuyi even graduated from the same high school; they were classmates!"

"The people from Ningde No. 2 Middle School can attest that Liang Can and Sheng Shuyi were not only classmates, but also deskmates, and were inseparable during their school years!"

"So that means Wen Xiying was a third party in the relationship?"

"The person upstairs is talking nonsense. I practiced driving with Liang Can during the summer before my senior year of high school. At that time, Liang Can and Wen Xiying were already inseparable!"

Who says life has no audience?

Liang Can has now realized that, damn it, life is full of spectators everywhere.

He himself had almost forgotten the details of practicing driving with Wen Xiying at the driving school during the summer vacation after his senior year of high school, yet someone could actually recall which drink Liang Can bought for Wen Xiying one day.

Soon, some entertainment accounts that specialize in gossip sensed the potential for increased traffic and began digging into the details of the central figures in the story.

A long post by a Weibo account called "Gossip Auntie" has sparked public discussion.

I see everyone's speculating about who the wife is and who the mistress is, so I'll share some information from an insider.

[Sheng Shuyi comes from a divorced family; her cheating father even tried to kill her and her mother. After starting his business, Liang Can consistently supported Sheng Shuyi's mother's company. Now, Liang Can is starting to support Sheng Shuyi, meaning that from the very beginning, Liang Can has favored Sheng Shuyi!]

[As the saying goes, even a childhood sweetheart can't compare to a beautiful, cold-faced E-cup girl!]

As Liang Can scrolled through these posts, he clicked his tongue and said, "An insider, or is he still an insider?"

As it turns out, netizens took this matter very seriously, and the discussion became increasingly heated, with everyone arguing fiercely about the exact relationship between Liang Can, Sheng Shuyi, and Wen Xiying.

After all, Liang Can has never officially announced a romantic relationship with anyone.

"Currently, Sheng Shuyi is more popular than Wen Xiying." Liang Can did a quick count and then shook his head. "If Yingzai knew what was going on online, she'd probably be so angry that her period would be delayed for several days."

Thinking of this, Liang Can gripped his phone, glanced up at the night sky, and remained calm.

This is clearly not a gossip discussion; it's clearly aimed at Liang Can.

Who is the legal wife and who is the mistress?
The moral category.

"Someone's trying to ruin my reputation, damn it, is this some kind of business war?" Liang Can muttered to himself, unable to hide his indignation.

Liang Can knew he had moral flaws, so he always kept a low profile.

Whenever Qingning Technology achieves something, the public relations department will contact the media to downplay Liang Can's personal behavior and focus on promoting Qingning Technology as a whole.

I've been keeping such a low profile, yet people still come after me.

Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice?

But his focus now isn't on that; it's on the issue raised in the first post that sparked the incident.

Is there anything shady going on with the promotion of the Qingning APP?

Of course there are!

Is it my fault that your product is bad?

However, for a young company like Qingning Technology, being embroiled in such a scandal involving business ethics would be a significant blow.

Especially now, if Qingning APP wants to completely occupy the ecosystem of Little Red Book and Pinduoduo is going head-to-head with Taobao, it will inevitably have to devour the lower-tier market.

At the same time, a large amount of money was poured into the research and development of the short video platform, and the preliminary preparations were in full swing.

At a time like this, if a scandal suddenly breaks out targeting Liang Can, even if it wasn't intentional, someone has to be found and eliminated.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be tantamount to acknowledging all the nonsense circulating online?
Picking up his phone, Liang Can called the head of public relations: "Have you seen what's going on online?"

This public relations manager was also brought in from outside the company. He is very capable, has been working in the industry for more than ten years, and has a very strong network of contacts.

"Mr. Liang, I'm contacting my former colleagues to find out who's behind this and see if we can talk. The relevant announcement is being drafted and will be released soon."

That high annual salary wasn't given for nothing.

Nodding slightly, Liang Can said calmly, "Just respond to the questions about promotion; don't worry about the rest."

"clear."

Liang Can then called Deng Jianyu and got straight to the point: "If I'm not mistaken, your work has driven some people to desperation. Who is the most suspicious? Give me their name."

Deng Jianyu rattled off several names in one breath: "These people are all suspects, but President Liang, after reading the information online, I found that many details are impossible for anyone other than those close to you to know, so I've narrowed it down to your senior classmates."

"Name," Liang Can asked, his eyes lowered.

Deng Jianyu paused for a moment, then replied, "Xu Zijing."

"As expected of my Jia Xu," Liang Can said with a smirk. "Why would he do that?"

Deng Jianyu said in a deep voice, "I have found a lot of information about Mr. Xu's illegal operations. He has a lot of communication and cooperation with people outside the company, and many businesses are directly contracted out without any procedures or formalities."

“So by embroiling the company in scandal, all the attention is diverted elsewhere, allowing him to fish in troubled waters,” Liang Can added.

"Yes, Mr. Liang, but these are just speculations, there is no evidence."

"I have someone keep an eye on Xu Zijing 24 hours a day; I have other uses for him."

"Yes."

Once we've identified who it is, things will be much easier.

Then even the shady practices in promotion can be blamed on Xu Zijing, and there's no need to find a scapegoat.

That's just how ruthless business is.

Liang Can felt no guilt whatsoever when doing such things. He wouldn't hesitate to find someone with a bad reputation to take the blame, let alone someone like Xu Zijing.

"I have to deal with these messy things first. As for who's the main wife and who's the mistress, I'll think about that later." Liang Can grabbed her coat and left the dorm.

Under the same night
Gongshu District, a large single-level apartment
Sheng Shuyi is staying with her mother, Dai Yueting, today. It's been a long time since the two of them have sat down and talked quietly like this.

Dai Yueting took a sip of red wine and said to Sheng Shuyi with a smile, "Shuyi, your Aunt Xia Lan told me that you've been working very hard lately and your work is outstanding. It seems that Mom can retire early in a few years."

Sheng Shuyi said proudly, "Aunt Xia always encourages me, and sometimes she praises me so much that I feel embarrassed. But Mom, you can't retire. With my help, it won't be a problem to make your work a little easier."

"When you have free time, go and find someone to date," Sheng Shuyi said with a grin.

"You even dare to joke about your mother?" Dai Yueting pretended to be angry and poked her daughter's forehead with her finger.

She felt gratified and content, and thought that life was wonderful right now.

Dai Yueting knew perfectly well how all these good days had come about.

The factor of having substantial funds of its own, as well as the strong support of a certain young person, cannot be ignored.

"Shuyi, what's the current situation between you and Liang Can?" Before the question could be finished, the phone on the coffee table rang.

Dai Yueting glanced at it and laughed, "It's your Aunt Jin. Why would she call me so late at night? Did you have a fight with your Uncle Wen?"

The caller was Wen Xiying's mother, Jin Lirong. "Hello, Rongrong?" Dai Yueting answered the phone.

"Sister Ting, did I disturb your rest?"

"No, Shuyi and I are chatting."

Upon hearing this, Jin Lirong on the other end of the phone immediately asked, "So, does Shuyi know?"

Dai Yueting looked at Sheng Shuyi, who was playing on her phone, and asked in confusion, "What do you know? What happened?"

"Looks like they don't know yet," Jin Lirong thought to herself.

"Here's the thing, suddenly a lot of posts about Qingning Technology and Liang Can appeared online. Originally, they were just business rumors, which is normal. But for some reason, rumors suddenly started circulating about Liang Can's relationship with your Shuyi, and even our Yingying was dragged into it."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yueting slowly stood up, went into the study, closed the door, and stood by the window: "What exactly did they say?"

"Oh, we're just discussing the relationship between the three children. People online these days don't know how to speak properly and don't care about the feelings of the people involved."

Jin Lirong rambled on about random things, then sighed: "There's a lot of online debate about who Liang Can's girlfriend is. Some say it's your Shuyi, and some say it's my Yingying."

"Sister Ting, I just wanted to ask you, are Shuyi and Liang Can dating?"

Dai Yueting was silent for a moment, then said with a light laugh, "Rongrong, don't overthink it. Don't believe the news online. I guess it's because these three kids are so good-looking and have such a close relationship that many young people have started shipping them. It's not a big problem; it'll just pass like a passing breeze."

“Yes, yes, that’s what I think too,” Jin Lirong continued. “But the things said online are horrible. Many people say that our Yingying is a homewrecker, which has made her father furious. He was just copying down the IDs of those who spread these rumors, saying he’s going to sue them one by one.”

In this day and age on the internet, if you're the target of rumors, there's absolutely no way to retaliate.

Unless you find someone to open the box.

Given Wen Yunyi's doting on Wen Xiying, he's really capable of doing this, no matter the cost.

"Rongrong, let's calm down. It's not appropriate for us parents to get involved in this, don't you think?"

"Yes, Sister Ting, that's what I meant too. Please don't let this cause a rift between our two families." After a pause, Jin Lirong asked again, "Is Shuyi really not dating Liang Can?"

Dai Yueting: "."

Stepping out of the study, Dai Yueting tightened her knitted sweater, returned to the sofa, and looked at Sheng Shuyi, who was curled up in a recliner opposite her, playing on her phone.

"Shuyi, Mom"

"Damn it, they called me a mistress, I'll kill these bastards!!" Sheng Shuyi suddenly erupted, jumping onto the coffee table, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, roaring angrily.

Dai Yueting: "."

She saw it too.

Dai Yueting frowned: "Shuyi, what exactly happened?"

"Someone created me, Huang Yao, Mom!" Sheng Shuyi's sweet little voice was filled with endless anger.

Dai Yueting asked, "So, are you actually with Liang Can or not?"

"almost."

"Quickly, indeed!" Dai Yueting continued, "Is Liang Can with Wen Xiying?"

"Mom, what are you saying? Liang Can is mine!"

"."

Dai Yueting was silent for a while, then picked up her phone and browsed for more than half an hour before saying to Sheng Shuyi, "I guess it's because Qingning Technology is being too lenient with our two platforms, which has caused dissatisfaction among many brands. At the same time, Liang Can's competitors are hyping things up, which is why so many false rumors have appeared."

"What should I do?"

"Just wait and see what happens."

For a fleeting moment, Sheng Shuyi even felt a surge of malice.

Thinking it best to just issue an announcement saying: Yes, Liang Can and I are together.

But reason told Sheng Shuyi that she couldn't do that.

Now everyone is in a bind.

Sheng Shu sat down sullenly, propping her chin up with one hand, and muttered to herself with a frown, "What will Wen Xiying do?"

To put it bluntly, although many online comments have an artistic flair, Sheng Shuyi knows in her heart that what she and Liang Can did was more like what lovers do, even if they aren't officially a couple.

Netizens' imaginations aren't that rich, are they?

"Wen Xiying, do you think you'll be the main wife?" Sheng Shuyi gritted her teeth and took a deep breath.

A residential area near Zhejiang University of Media and Communications
Wen Xiying was scrolling through Weibo, constantly reporting things.

I'm specifically reporting those who say that a gift from heaven is not as good as a childhood sweetheart. It's hilarious; they all speak with such conviction, as if they were the ones who experienced it firsthand.

For example, this comment
"Logically speaking, childhood sweethearts are not as good as those who fall from the sky, but to be honest, if Liang Can and Sheng Shuyi ever quarrel, Sheng Shuyi only needs to bury Liang Can in her chest, and all her anger will dissipate. On the other hand, Wen Xiying does not have this advantage."

LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!

Report! Report! Report!!
Wen Xiying made a cute sound, similar to the low growl of a young animal, while frantically tapping her phone screen.

Vulgar, despicable, and shameless!
What does it matter if you have big or small breasts when it comes to matters of the heart?

"Sheng Shuyi must be so smug right now, ahhhhh, I'm so angry!!" Wen Xiying grabbed her head, tilting her head back in helpless rage.

But Yingza miscalculated this time, and Sheng Shuyi is also very angry now.

People only read comments that are unfavorable to them, and then get caught up in emotional turmoil.

Meanwhile, Liang Can, the mastermind behind all of this, was already sitting in the chairman's office.

This should be the first time Qingning Technology has encountered such a large-scale public opinion storm since its establishment, but it has a different meaning.

For a company, a business scandal is usually a devastating blow.

However, due to Liang Can's exceptionally high looks, as well as the exceptionally high looks of Sheng Shuyi and Wen Xiying involved in the incident, and the added advantage of their various identities, online public opinion has been overwhelmingly focused on the following:
Who is the official wife?

If you ask Liang Can, there's no such thing as a mistress. I'm a good man, and they're all my legitimate girlfriends!
Inside the office, a hastily assembled emergency task force was bustling about, making a lot of noise and creating a somewhat chaotic scene.

Liang Can, however, seemed quite unperturbed.

Because he suddenly realized that this matter seemed to have actually done him a favor.

"Everyone's arguing about who's the official girlfriend, it seems like they've already accepted that Sheng Shuyi and Wen Xiying are both my girlfriends." Liang Can slapped the armrest of his executive chair, a smirk playing on his lips. "Damn, what a stroke of luck!"

Liang Can glanced at Zheng Ting.

Zheng Ting hurriedly bowed and jogged over: "President Liang, are you hungry? Should I go and call two female internet celebrities for you?"

Are you fucking an idiot?

"A food influencer, I'll cook for you," Zheng Ting explained.

"No need, just call all the people from the Hangzhou Dianzi University faction to the conference room."

"President Liang, our company doesn't have any Hangzhou Dianzi University connections!"

"Old Zheng, you are the leader of the Hangzhou Dianzi University faction."
