Hu Yunâs heart was pounding fiercely, almost causing her to drop her phone.
But as she turned her head, she saw Xu Nianying sitting beside her.
Hu Yun let out a sigh of relief, gradually regained her composure, and calmly said, "Got it, Iâll hang up now."
With Xu Nianying here, what was there to panic about? She could just ask Xu Nianying to solve it, couldnât she!
The Zhou Family and the Xu Family had a good relationship, and just two days ago, she heard Xu Nianying say that his cousin was even considering a business marriage with Zhou Jinyuan. With ties growing stronger, Zhou Jinyuan, no matter how much he liked Chen Xixi, wouldnât turn his back on his family.
After all, wealthy men always have the red flag flying at home, while myriad colorful flags flutter outside; and Chen Xixi didnât even have the qualifications to carry shoes for the main wife. The Zhou Family, being savvy, would certainly distinguish right from wrong!
...
At the press conference, Chen Xixi, with the beautiful ârevivalâ at the press conference, stunned the entire audience!
Following the simple introduction, the interactive segment began.
A media reporter asked, "Why did you suddenly go to Qingping Village?"
Chen Xixi revealed a warm, generous, and incredibly infectious smile: "I went to visit the set of my good friendâs new movie. I hope everyone can pay more attention to and support the film starring my good friend Han Qianyi."
Media reporter: "The internet says you performed a heroic act, saving seventy-six people. Is this true or just hype? After all, when the search and rescue team first announced the number of people rescued, there were fewer than seventy-six. Can you talk about the process of leading seventy-six people to safety, and how you spent the time waiting for rescue?"
Chen Xixi answered generously: "I was just a bit lucky; I had everyone evacuate to a hillside in advance. More fortunately, that hill didnât experience a landslide. I think itâs probably because the local ancestors blessed us. Iâm planning to go back in a few days, and after discussing with the crew, we want to properly pay our respects to them."
Chen Xixiâs responses were generous and appropriate, humble and composed, immediately causing countless netizens and media to have a surge of favorable impressions once again!
Another media reporter continued to press: "Then why was your name not on the list of people rescued earlier?"
Chen Xixi smiled: "Because the person who rescued me is a bit special, and itâs not convenient to disclose."
Some attentive netizens noticed that Chen Xixiâs smile seemed different from before.
[Could it be a boyfriend? Chen Xixiâs smile seems to be filled with happiness, doesnât it?]
[Boyfriend? Is it President Zhou, is it President Zhou, is it President Zhou?]
[I donât know! But President Zhou was the first to speak out in support of Chen Xixi. I think this is real sweet!]
[After all this, the absent guest turns out to be Jin Cheng! Has Jin Cheng not made enough money abroad yet? When exactly will he come back?]
After the interactive segment, Chen Xixi recommended a bunch of money-saving methods and freebie experiences to everyone, as the theme of todayâs press conference was about a money-saving variety show, so it certainly couldnât go off-topic.
Some netizens attracted by Chen Xixiâs appearance were instantly conquered by her money-saving skills, and her beauty fans turned into die-hard fans!
At this press conference, Chen Xixi was the biggest winner among everyone!
Xu Nianying and Hu Yun were sitting at home, but they felt their faces hurt as if slapped by Chen Xixi.
However, that was not all, because not long after, Xu Nianying was approached by the police again.
Xu Nianying knitted his brows in annoyance and asked irritably, "What is it this time?"
The police spoke seriously, "Weâve found youâre implicated in a kidnapping case, please come with us to the police station for an investigation."
Xu Nianying immediately looked up, alarmed: "A kidnapping case?"
"Yes."
"Who reported it?"
"A Mrs. Hu claimed there was more to the kidnapping case you were involved in, and our chief has directed us to reinvestigate."
Xu Nianying immediately turned his head to meet the eyes of Hu Yun, who was sitting on the couch.
Hu Yun had almost forgotten about this ordeal; she reported it that day because she was blinded by anger due to Chen Xixi and wanted to have a âboth sides perishâ showdown with her.
Xu Nianyingâs expression grew visibly darker than before; he clenched his teeth and asked in a heavy voice, "Who told you to report it?"
Seeing that Xu Nianyingâs expression was off, Hu Yun didnât understand what she had done to severely offend him. After all, the report targeted Chen Xixiâs family; why would Xu Nianying be so unhappy?
Unable to figure it out and fearing she might say the wrong thing and offend Xu Nianying â after all, she still wanted to become Mrs. Xu, as well as needing Xu Nianyingâs help with the lawsuit against her from Zhongjing Group.
So she opened her lips but didnât dare say anything.
However, Xu Nianying is ultimately the victim here, she believed Xu Nianying would come back soon, and when Xu Nianying returned, she just needed to coax Xu Nianying properly!
Xu Nianying retracted her gaze, cursing in her heart that Hu Yun was an idiot!
She should never have kept Hu Yun around in the first place, let alone tell him that the mastermind behind the kidnapping was Chen Xixiâs father to get him to target Chen Xixi!
She had never imagined that this idiot wouldnât seek revenge privately, but instead go to the police!
Wasnât this just like lifting a rock only to drop it on her own feet?
Speaking of which, lifting this rock was also because of Zhou Jinyuan.
As long as she harmed Chen Xixi, Zhou Jinyuan would harm her; to protect herself from Zhou Jinyuanâs targeting, she could only use others.
Thatâs how she got Hu Yun on her side.
Turned out he was a nutjob!
Looks like this idiot had to go.
Once he came back, she would find a way to get Hu Yun locked up.
Thankfully, she had another pawnâIdiot Number Two, Zheng He.
...
And Idiot Number Two, Zheng He, was pacing anxiously at Chen Xixiâs house.
Watching Zheng He going around in circles in front of them for twenty minutes, Han Qianyi couldnât help but say, "Youâve been walking circles for twenty minutes now, if youâre trying to mill grain, youâve come to the wrong place."
Zheng He clutched his head, speaking anxiously, "What should I do? That three-legged Ao Long has been released! Back then, I really humiliated him in there, once heâs out, heâll definitely scam me for money, take revenge on me, what should I do?! How can I avoid being scammed! How can I change my easily deceived nature!"
He really didnât want the police to use him for fraud case publicity anymore, since the Saving Money Variety Show was about to start broadcast; all his âgloriousâ deeds would surely be brought up and ridiculed by netizens again, he didnât want to be laughed at any longer, he had had enough!
He wanted to change his nature! Change his fate! Change everyoneâs view of him!
Chen Xixi looked at him with newfound respect, "Wow! The kid has grown up, now youâve got a sense of shame."
"Iâve always had it, okay!"
Itâs just that he was too concerned about saving face back then, unwilling to admit it.
But this time itâs different, once Brother Ao Long is out, he was sure to take revenge on him twice as bad, heâd seen what happened to his childhood pal Zhao Xiaopang who ended up beaten black and blue.
Not to mention North City, what a terrifying place!
The people of North City, they arenât human, theyâre devils from hell, theyâll tear him to pieces alive!
Chen Xixi sat cross-legged on the sofa, propping her chin with her hands, sincerely saying, "Downloaded the anti-fraud app yet?"
Zheng He: "No."
Chen Xixi said, "First off, download an anti-fraud app, at the very least it can help you block overseas calls, then step two, donât be greedy, put away your little thoughts of taking advantage, and you wonât suffer big losses. Donât fall for any high-profit temptations, donât believe in any free pie-in-the-sky giveaways."
Zheng He looked at Chen Xixi in disbelief, "Is it really that simple?"
Chen Xixi nodded, "Yes, itâs that simple!"
Beginning from now.
Zheng He was different!
He too was a person with an anti-fraud app!
It was like having a cheat code!
Two days later.
Zheng He received a phone call.
The caller spoke respectfully, "Hello, I am President Xuâs assistant, President Xu said he wants to invite you to a meal, thereâs a big business opportunity he wants to discuss with you."
Upon hearing this, âbig businessâ, âhigh-profitâ, werenât these the scams Chen Xixi talked about!
Try to scam him, not a chance!
