Chapter 67 Part 1 一 The Crazy and Overbearing CEO Ruan Yōu Makes a Grand Appearance!
Lu Xuan shook her head and pointed to the notebook, saying earnestly, “No, you said the second floor staircase doesn’t have a camera, but the first floor staircase does.”
【Little princess, I can prove that you misheard.】
【The moment to witness a miracle has come. Let’s see whether Jiang Huai’s spinning and jumping are more embarrassing, or if Lu Jin pretending to work but actually slacking off is more embarrassing.】
【Haha, I suggest renaming this variety show to “The Heirs with Shattered Filters.”】
【You guys, what a loss.】
Ruan Yōu was in deep thought.
If this had happened under normal circumstances, without recordings, replays, or livestreams, the dispute would have been a headache-inducing dilemma.
But now it’s different; they’re live-streaming, and every move is being recorded.
Ruan Yōu casually turned on the television in front of the sofa and then picked up her phone to search for “Ruan Yōu live stream cut” on the video website. It didn’t take long to find the segment that netizens jokingly called a “iconic moment.”
She remained silent, “maliciously” cast the screen, and witnessed everyone collectively “Social Death.”
Just like the time they got drunk on the side of the road.
People’s joys and sorrows may not the same, and her happiness always seems to be built on their sadness and embarrassment.
When Ruan Yōu clicked to cast the screen, she suddenly understood why, during her sleepless nights in the entertainment industry due to immense pressure, she loved searching for “humans’ misfortunes funny videos” online.
Because watching others’ misfortunes is! truly! hilarious!
Ruan Yōu raised her gaze.
The gazes of Gu Fuchen and the others all fell on her, and Jiang Huai’s eyes showed a mixture of nine parts anxiety and nervousness.
He often trusted Ruan Yōu’s intelligence, but today, he was incredibly devout, silently praying to Bodhisattva, the God of Wealth, and any other divine beings that could protect him.
一God! Please let Lu Xuan’s mind be clear for once.
He had devoutly read “The Legend of the Bodhisattva,” “The Tale of the God of Wealth,” and “Journey to the West” so many times; it couldn’t be in vain!
In the depths of his heart, Jiang Huai prayed: There’s always a return for what you give, and reading the scriptures of the gods shouldn’t be in vain. Good luck and mysticism will surely come to him.
On the TV screen, the waiting circle transitioned from gray to black, slowly spinning, turning twice, making Jiang Huai increasingly anxious.
On the ninth rotation, a variety show scene suddenly appeared on the screen.
Ruan Yōu leaned against the doorframe, slightly tilting her head to the ceiling, recalling the information Cheng Xin had sent and spoke crisply, “There’s another one on the second floor staircase, at the corner where we go up and down.”
Lu Xuan obediently took out her pen to write it down, but just as she was about to write, Ruan Yōu mentioned another location.
Lu Xuan’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion as she looked at her notebook, trying to remember what Ruan Yōu had just said. Suddenly, a gleam of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she nodded confidently, writing down four words in her notebook 一 “first floor staircase.”
Jiang Huai: …
【No matter how many times you watch it, this scene is still hilarious.】
【Confidently writing the wrong message, the reputation of the silly little princess is well-deserved.】
Lu Jin was overjoyed.
It turns out he wasn’t the only victim of his silly younger sister.
Among the people present, Fu Jiazhan, Qi Nuo, and Qi Zhiyan had all waited at the corner of the second floor staircase. The three of them listened in silence as Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, and Lu Xuan’s excited explanation about the absence of cameras on the second floor.
Although Fu Jiazhan and Qi Zhiyan didn’t do anything or say anything inappropriate at the time, the thought of the millions of viewers in the livestream room watching them stand there foolishly made them feel a slight embarrassment.
The most embarrassed of all was Jiang Huai.
Lu Jin looked at him with a cheerful smile.
Gu Fuchen, Fu Jiazhan, Qi Zhiyan, and Qi Nuo had no idea that Jiang Huai had been “spinning and jumping” at the second floor staircase and celebrating joyfully in front of the camera.
Lu Jin and Ruan Yōu were the only two who knew the truth.
Lu Jin only knew that Jiang Huai was celebrating the successful ‘rumor clarification’ at the staircase. He didn’t know the specifics of what he had done, but it definitely wasn’t anything serious. Meanwhile, Ruan Yōu ‘enjoyed’ the entire process of Jiang Huai’s dancing and her heart was pounding with excitement.
Just a moment ago, Jiang Huai had mocked Lu Jin, but now he couldn’t laugh anymore; his face turned pale.
He stood up straight, his whole body tense, and after two seconds of nervousness, he immediately headed towards the balcony.
Without saying a word, where could he suddenly be going?
Jiang Huai’s silent and solemn reaction to this matter inevitably caught the attention of the others present.
Everyone didn’t care about making fun anymore; their gazes closely followed Jiang Huai’s steps, fearing that he might do something regrettable and withdraw into a corner for a while.
It was as if silent sobbing sometimes worried people more than crying out loud.
Ruan Yōu was equally worried.
It seemed like Jiang Huai’s social death was even more severe than Lu Jin’s; at most, Lu Jin was caught slacking off at work by netizens, but Jiang Huai was different.
His carefully planned “clarifying the abs” revenge plan not only became known to others but he also foolishly danced in front of the livestream room.
Even comedians wouldn’t dare to let themselves go like this, but he managed to do it!
“Jiang Huai?” Fu Jiazhan called out to him softly.
Jiang Huai was completely unaware, clutching his phone tightly with both hands, and dialing the number with a deep gaze.
The phone by his ear emitted a “beep-beep” waiting tone, and he patiently waited.
As this period of waiting continued, the room slowly quieted down.
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but move closer to Ruan Yōu and asked in a low voice, “Could Brother Jiang Huai be thinking of quitting the variety show recording?”
This seemed to be the most reasonable explanation at the moment.
Realizing that facing the netizens criticism was unbearable, he couldn’t bring himself to decide to quit the livestream, so he called his assistant.
Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, and Fu Jiazhan thought of this and were about to approach him for a discussion. Just as the three of them took a couple of steps, Jiang Huai’s call went through.
He spoke in a deep voice, “Special Assistant.”
Ruan Yōu, Gu Fuchen, and Fu Jiazhan halted in their tracks, hesitating whether to preemptively disconnect Jiang Huai’s phone and have a good talk with him, to boost his confidence like they did for Lu Jin and ensure he could continue recording一一
Amid the anxious and tense atmosphere, Jiang Huai hurriedly asked, “How’s the current public opinion on the internet? What’s the impact on the company’s market value and stock? Is the PR team at work yet? Act immediately, we absolutely cannot let the company lose a single penny because of this!”
Ruan Yōu & Gu Fuchen & Fu Jiazhan: …
You’re really a caring boss for the company, aren’t you?
【Embarrassment is not the concern for Jiang Huai, who earns money diligently, it’s whether the company will lose money because of it. Hahaha, the shareholders are overjoyed.】
【After all this, you’re still worried about the company? If Jiang Huai doesn’t make money, who will?】
Unable to hear what the special assistant said to Jiang Huai, all he knew was that Jiang Huai was in a good mood after ending the call.
He consoled himself in his heart: It’s okay, except for Fu Jiazhan, Gu Fuchen and Lu Jin have all experienced social death. Their social deaths were nothing special, while he immediately thought of the company’s crisis after his own social death.
Well-deserved CEO of the year.
Having face or not doesn’t matter; what matters is whether his money-making ability can gain everyone’s approval.
Of course, it would be best if the abs incident could be clarified.
Among the people present, Gu Fuchen, Lu Jin, and Jiang Huai’s images as domineering CEOs were completely shattered.
Ruan Yōu began to suspect whether there was some kind of magic in this reality show that made people socially die. Why did one or two of them appear normal in front of the camera but start acting strangely when they thought there were no cameras?
She sighed and looked at Qi Zhiyan, Fu Jiazhan, and Qi Nuo.
“You guys didn’t do anything strange or have any embarrassing hobbies, right?”
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
In variety shows, they have never lost face, but…
Fu Jiazhan and Qi Zhiyan suddenly thought of the scene where they got drunk before appearing on the variety show and went outside to play with the claw machine.
一The memories of the past began to haunt them again.
In order to prevent them from making any more jokes in the coming days, Ruan Yōu carefully checked the exact positions of the camera with them seriously.
After confirming that Lu Xuan had only made mistakes in these two places, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
