Chapter 55: Can Someone Tell Me What Happened

The manager was so angry that her temples throbbed.
“The problem is that the PR is unable to deal with this situation!”
“How can the PR fail to get rid of the trending topic? Did Brother Shiyuan hire you all just to slack off?”
Tang Qidai was used to being rude and unreasonable.
Once her manager annoyed her, she’d scold her right away.
The manager had a stormy expression on her face as she said, “You’ve gone ahead and done it this time. The PR department can’t do anything about it. President Lu must be the one to deal with this personally.”
“What?”
Tang Qidai picked up her phone doubtfully and clicked on the topic.
Jiang Tang’s Weibo post was the top post.
She clicked on the main page and took a look.
“Isn’t she just a content creator?” Tang Qidai replied disdainfully. “What’s the big deal?”
“The source material that appeared in her video is something that you can’t afford to buy even if you compile all of the salaries that you earned since your debut together!” the manager retorted with a sneer
Tang Qidai frowned, thinking that her manager was lying to her. “How is that possible? She doesn’t exist among the circle of young rich girls in Xu City!”
“Xu City isn’t the only place in this world. You can easily find rich people out on the streets if you’re in Capital City!”
The manager used to think that Tang Qidai was a little smart.
Now, she felt that Tang Qidai was an idiot.
She didn’t know how such an idiot like her was able to gain Lu Shiyuan’s favor.
Tang Qidai finally started to get anxious. “What do we do now?”
“You should call President Lu.” The manager’s attitude improved a little. After all, Lu Shiyuan was really nice to Tang Qidai.
Tang Qidai might be a complete buffoon, but that didn’t stop Lu Shiyuan from liking her.
Tang Qidai called Lu Shiyuan several times in a row.
But Lu Shiyuan didn’t pick up.
“He’s probably in a meeting at the moment. I’ll go to the company to find him.” Tang Qidai felt a little uneasy.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Shiyuan would pick up her call immediately.
Was it because he saw Lin Shanchu today and got bewitched?
The more Tang Qidai thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
She also knew that everything she had now was all thanks to Lu Shiyuan.
She had to hold on to Lu Shiyuan’s heart tightly.
Lu Corporation.
In the president’s office.
Lu Shiyuan was sitting in front of his desk with open documents in front of him.
At first glance, he seemed to be working seriously.
However, upon a closer look, one would realize that Lu Shiyuan wasn’t even looking at the documents. He was just in a daze.
Zhou Yan pushed the door open and came in to bring him coffee.
“President Lu, here’s your coffee.”
He lowered his head and glanced at the document.
Then, he realized that the page was the same as when he had entered half an hour ago.
President Lu had been like this ever since he came back from the production crew of “My Stage”.
Zhou Yan did not dare to say anything more either.
He turned around and left.
Just as he closed the door, he heard Tang Qidai’s voice.
“Assistant Zhou.”
“Ms. Tang.”
Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief before taking the initiative to say, “President
Lu has been in a bad mood ever since he came back.”
“I know. I’ve brought dinner for Brother Shiyuan. You don’t have to order for him anymore.”
Tang Qidai’s nerves relaxed. It seemed like Lin Shanchu had done something stupid again to make Brother Shiyuan unhappy.
It was just what she wanted.
Tang Qidai fixed her hair at the doorway and pushed it open.
“Brother Shiyuan.”
She called out to him twice in a row before Lu Shiyuan came back to his senses and looked at her.
‘Qidai?” Lu Shiyuan’s expression softened after noticing Tang Qidai.
“I brought you dinner.” Tang Qidai sized up Lu Shiyuan’s expression. “Brother Shiyuan, are you unhappy?”
Lu Shiyuan looked at her without saying a word.
“Is it because of Shanshan? You know what she’s like. She’s been like this since she was young, so don’t take her words to heart. After all, her parents…”
At this point, Tang Qidai stole a glance at Lu Shiyuan’s expression. She deliberately sighed and stopped talking.
Lu Shiyuan sneered. “I kept her around in the Lu family because her parents were the benefactors of my family! As for her? Heh!”
Lu Shiyuan heaved a long sigh afterward. Then, he looked at Tang Qidai with a gentle gaze.
“Qidai, you’re always so kind. Don’t speak up for Lin Shanchu anymore. She’s not worth it! ”
Tang Qidai wore a puzzled and awkward expression.
“Ever since Shanshan participated in the show, her popularity has been rising. Although her fans are a little radical, I’m still very happy for her.”
“What’s wrong with her fans?” Lu Shiyuan frowned.
“It’s fine, Brother Shiyuan.” Tang Qidai looked sad, but she didn’t say anything about her woes.
Lu Shiyuan directly called the internal line to summon Zhou Yan into the office.
Zhou Yan told him about Tang Qidai’s appearance on the trending list.
“I never expected that my fans would scold the poster,” Tang Qidai explained with reddened eyes. “I just wanted to give you and Shanshan my well-wishes…”
“I know,” Lu Shiyuan comforted her gently.
After that, he personally made a call to settle the matter.
“Brother Shiyuan,” Tang Qidai said gratefully. “You’re so nice to me. I don’t know how to thank you.”
“That’s what I should do.”
Lu Shiyuan recalled what Lin Shanchu had said to him. “You’re so gentle and understanding. I’m worried that you’ll be bullied. If anything happens, you must tell me immediately, okay?”
“Yes.” Tang Qidai’s sadness vanished on the spot as she smiled happily.
The moment she walked out of Lu Shiyuan’s office.
The smile on Tang Qidai’s face faded.
It was replaced by smugness and ruthlessness.
Brother Shiyuan hated Lin Shanchu more and more.
It seemed that he had given up on Lin Shanchu.
Tang Qidai opened her WeChat contact list and clicked on Jiang Ziyu’s moments page.
She scrolled to a post she had posted half a month ago:
[My vacation has ended. I’m now officially joining the production crew of “My Stage”.]
The corners of Tang Qidai’s mouth slowly curled upward, revealing a cold and sinister smile.
She returned to the chat interface and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Ziyu.
[Are you busy?]
Jiang Ziyu replied instantly, [Nope.]
[We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let’s have a cup of coffee
together.]
Jiang Ziyu replied, [Okay!]
The topic #Tang Qidai has instigated her fans to cyberbully someone was removed just as it climbed to the top ten ranking of the trending list. The netizens realized the topic had disappeared just as they were discussing it.
They were both confused and angry.
[Amazing! Instead of apologizing, she decided to remove the topic from the trending list!]
[Tang Qidai sure is awesome, huh?]
[Is Tang Qidai really the awesome one? The capital backing her up is the true MVP.]
[Let’s be more straightforward. Lu Shiyuan is seriously disgusting.]
[I used to like Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu being a couple. Now, I felt like I just ate a pile of dung.]
[Lin Shanchu has been helping the members in the talent show for the entire afternoon and has yet to rest. Meanwhile, Lu Shiyuan helped his so-called good friend remove the trending topic outside the show. How wonderful!] [This adulterous couple is too disgusting. I’m going to watch “My Stage” just to cleanse my eyes.]
[Bring me along. I’m going too.]
It was already nine o’clock at night, but Lin Shanchu was not asleep yet.
In Class B’s training room.
Ning Yunxi collapsed on the ground. “Big Sister, I can’t do it anymore. I’m seriously a bad dancer. Sob…” Lin Shanchu dragged her to her feet calmly. “No, you can do it.”
The comments filled the screen.
[Hahaha! I’ve been watching them for the whole afternoon! The more I watch, the more addicted I become! Hahaha!]
[I just came here.. Can someone tell me what happened?]
