Chapter 40: Flies Don’t Perch on Seamless Eggs
“Alright, what kind of video are we shooting?” Guo Xia relaxed a bit on the other end of the line, agreeing to cooperate with Qi Weixiong in recording the video.
“You get ready, I’ll come pick you up and take you to the company,” Qi Weixiong said, not immediately revealing the content of the video to Guo Xia. Before she could ask again, he had already hung up.
When Qi Weixiong picked up Guo Xia at home, he still hadn’t told her what video they were shooting.
As they approached the company gate, Guo Xia was shocked by the presence of reporters and media. The company entrance was swarmed with people, making it nearly impassable.
As soon as Qi Weixiong’s car appeared in the view of the media reporters, they all rushed over.
Qi Weixiong’s car was completely surrounded, with reporters flashing cameras and bombarding him with questions.
If he dared to lower the car window, countless microphones would surely be shoved in his face.
After a while, the company’s security came over and forcefully opened a path, escorting Qi Weixiong and Guo Xia into the company.
“Mr. Qi! Do you have any explanation for the online rumors?” “Mr. Qi, is it true that you have over a hundred mistresses?” The reporters’ voices flooded into Qi Weixiong’s ears from all directions, making his head buzz.
Inside the company, the head of the public relations department was already waiting on the first floor. Qi Weixiong, accompanied by Guo Xia, followed the person in charge to the press conference hall.
He had already arranged for the public relations department to contact and secure the cooperation of the reporters and media. The so-called video shoot with Guo Xia was actually to accept interviews from the reporters, which would be broadcast live to clarify the situation.
After entering the press conference hall, Qi Weixiong finally told Guo Xia why he had brought her here today.
“Xiaxia, when we’re recording later, if the reporters ask about the video, you tell them that the woman in the video is you. It’s just a bit of fun between us as husband and wife. You’re a smart person, you understand what I mean, right?” Qi Weixiong said with a hint of threat.
Guo Xia hadn’t expected Qi Weixiong to make her take the fall for this mess. She felt like she had swallowed a fly and was thoroughly disgusted. But indeed, there was no better way to whitewash Qi Weixiong. If she didn’t cooperate, Qi Weixiong wouldn’t make things easy for her.
Suppressing her disgust, Guo Xia nodded silently.
Seeing Guo Xia obediently complying, Qi Weixiong smiled and gently patted her hair, saying, “I knew you wouldn’t let me down.”
Once the equipment was set up by the reporters, the live broadcast of the clarification began.
“Mr. Qi Weixiong, do you have anything to say about the online discussions regarding your privacy?”
“Is it true that you used your position to engage in extramarital affairs?”
In the live broadcast room, Qi Weixiong and Guo Xia’s appearances were clear. Qi Weixiong had already known what questions the reporters would ask, so he appeared very composed in response to the two questions raised by the reporters.
“Hello, everyone. I am Qi Weixiong, the chairman of the Qi Group, and this is my wife. First of all, regarding the video circulating online, it involves the privacy of my wife and me. Secondly, the woman in that video is my wife. As for the malicious comments online about me having extramarital affairs, not only are they defamation of my reputation, but they also severely impact the company. Therefore, my wife and I will use legal means to ensure that the spreaders of these rumors receive the punishment they deserve. I hope everyone can see the situation clearly and stop giving the rumor-mongers a chance to rejoice.”
Since the public relations department of the Qi Group had already posted a live broadcast preview on the Internet before the official broadcast, as soon as it started, millions of viewers flooded into the live broadcast room, propelling it to the top of the live broadcast hot search list.
As Qi Weixiong spoke, Guo Xia occasionally nodded beside him.
When Qi Weixiong finished speaking and looked at her, Guo Xia continued:
“Yes, we didn’t expect such absurd comments online. My husband and I have a very harmonious relationship, and I understand and trust his character. There is simply no truth to the rumors of extramarital affairs. I hope netizens will stop attacking us without understanding the truth…”
As Guo Xia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. After finishing her last sentence, she turned away to wipe her tears.
Since the broadcast started, the barrage in the live chat never ceased.
When Qi Weixiong’s face appeared in the live chat, a bunch of comments emerged, some cursing, some sarcastic.
“Oh, who’s this? Oh, it’s that greasy philanderer.”
“Look, look, I told you so. He’s starting to whitewash himself.”
“He’s good at talking pretty, isn’t he? As someone just spectating, this guy definitely isn’t a good person. He runs a company; who knows if he’s exploiting his employees.”
“No way, is the woman next to him the one he’s sleeping with?”
“Damn, this guy looks like a sleazy playboy. Clearly not a good guy.”
As Qi Weixiong spoke his clarification, some supportive comments gradually appeared, and as the broadcast continued, the barrage became intense.
“Don’t spam the chat. Regardless of the outcome, this is a democratic society, not a primitive one. We should give each other a chance to defend themselves.”
“That’s right. I really want to know how he’s going to whitewash this.”
“My friend works at Mr. Qi’s company, and their treatment of employees is really good. Mr. Qi is very approachable in the company.”
“Hey, you there, if you’re going to be on your knees, is the treatment good? Do you want that kind of blessing?”
“The comments section is so toxic. His wife has come out to clarify, can’t you people understand human language? All you do is argue.”
“Hey, you in front, you have good manners. I hope you get paid to be a greenie soon.”
“His wife doesn’t mind, so why are we still making a fuss? It’s pointless.”
“Am I the only one who feels like the woman next to the old man sounds threatened? She looks so wronged. The more I look at it, the more it seems like the old man is forcing her to whitewash.”
“I don’t understand how some people can tell that the woman is feeling wronged, especially when their private matters are being spread like this.”
Qi Weixiong had already hired an army of internet users for this broadcast, hoping to steer the comments section back in his favor. However, he didn’t expect this group of netizens dedicated to criticizing him to be so powerful.
After Guo Xia finished speaking, Qi Weixiong elaborated on how they would deal with the online rumors, dropping some harsh words. Once the clarification was over, the live broadcast camera was turned off.
As soon as the camera was off, Qi Weixiong turned to the head of the public relations department and asked, “How’s the feedback online?”
The head of the department, remembering the lively atmosphere in the broadcast just now and seeing Qi Weixiong’s furrowed brow, didn’t know how to tactfully tell him.
“There are still some negative comments online, but overall, the direction has been mostly controlled by the water army we hired.”
Hearing this, Qi Weixiong nodded. It seemed like today’s broadcast was somewhat effective.
“Alright, that’s good. Thank you all for your hard work today. Once this matter is resolved, I’ll give you some rewards.”
As the staff began to leave, Guo Xia said to Qi Weixiong, “Since everything’s sorted out, I’ll leave first.”
“Well, there are probably still reporters at the main gate. I’ll have someone take you out through the side gate.”
Qi Weixiong casually nodded. Right now, he had only dealt with the urgent matter; he still needed to clean up the aftermath.
“Okay, then let your assistant take me down.”
Guo Xia rarely came to the company. The last time she was here was months ago, and at that time, Qi Weixiong’s assistant was a man.
Now, his assistant was his lover. There was no way he could let these two meet.
Qi Weixiong frowned but didn’t respond to her. He just left a word, telling her to wait there, and then hurried away.
Seeing Qi Weixiong’s embarrassed appearance as he left, Guo Xia smirked behind his back.
When the hall was empty, Guo Xia opened an app and swiftly typed a message.
【Smooth cooperation】
“Yue Yue?”
“Yue Yue!”
“Huh?”
Qi Yue turned his head slightly, looking a bit dazedly at Shen Kuozhi.
Shen Kuozhi raised his fist to cover his mouth, the smile at the corner of his mouth could be disguised with a fist, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to conceal.
“Are you satisfied with our wedding house?”
“Ah, the decoration is very good.”
After Qi Yue reacted, he nodded.
He had just been stunned by the scene before him.
His wedding with Shen Kuozhi was approaching, and today Shen Kuozhi specially brought him to see the wedding house.
Qi Yue had been happily eating Qi Weixiong’s melon this morning, only to be dragged here to see the house.
Their wedding house was located in a villa area near the city center. Originally, Qi Yue’s attitude towards the wedding house was just “a place to sleep,” after all, the wedding house was just a formality for both of them.
However, to Qi Yue’s surprise, the decoration of the house was warm and bright, unexpectedly matching his aesthetic. And in one corner of the living room on the first floor, there was a piano, with sunlight streaming in, it was simply unrealistically beautiful.
“Let’s go, let’s take a look at the whole house. If there’s anything else you need to add or anywhere that needs to be modified, just let me know.”
Shen Kuozhi’s voice sounded above Qi Yue’s head, as if it was right next to his ear.
Qi Yue nodded and followed Shen Kuozhi to tour the three-story villa. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Apart from being a bit too big, there was nothing else wrong with the house.
“This is where our clothes were ordered according to our sizes. On the left is mine, and on the right are yours.”
Walking into the dressing room on the second floor, Qi Yue followed Shen Kuozhi’s direction and saw a row of high-end branded clothes for all seasons.
Once again, he was amazed by Shen Kuozhi’s thoughtfulness.
It had to be said that Shen Kuozhi was really a high-quality partner.
Qi Yue was too preoccupied with marveling at Shen Kuozhi’s thoughtfulness to notice that there were many similar styles of clothes on the left and right.
After the tour, Qi Yue had no other requirements for the decoration of the house. Shen Kuozhi had already arranged it quite well.
After Shen Kuozhi finished a phone call and came back, he said to Qi Yue, “Our wedding outfits are ready, let’s go try them on together?”
