Qin Chengyao stood up. "Since we've chosen to use the law to prove Bai Yu's innocence, we need to find solid evidence to prove they're slandering her. This is a trap we're setting for them."
Ji Siyue remembered how Bai Yu had given her all during the competition when she watched the news last night. Her heart felt stuffy. Without saying a word, she went back to finish editing her video. Then she walked out onto the balcony to calm down.
She was angry.
She was angry that the woman had contradicted her in public, and also angry that... the solution she'd come up with didn't seem to be what the other woman really needed.
Bai Yu was her team member and she was the team leader. Everyone was busy now, but she was sulking just because she thought that woman was unfriendly to her. She felt a bit sorry for Bai Yu.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and patted her on the shoulder.
Ji Siyue was overjoyed, thinking it was Qin Chengyao. But when she turned around, it was Zhu Zhiyao.
In an instant, the light in Ji Siyue's eyes dimmed a bit.
Zhu Zhiyao noticed the look in her eyes. He paused for a moment, then smiled.
"What's wrong? Are you disappointed that it's me?"
"No..." Ji Siyue was just being stubborn.
Zhu Zhiyao took out two candies from his bag and gave them all to Ji Siyue.
After Ji Siyue took them and put them in her mouth, he said, "Lao Qin is discussing with Lawyer Liu what to do next. Lawyer Liu is from my elder brother's law firm. She's the most experienced lawyer in handling online disputes. She's professional, and the solution she comes up with must be the most beneficial for our current situation. You put Bai Yu's feelings first, but she puts solving the problem first... Your starting points are different, so it's natural that there will be differences."
Ji Siyue listened to these words, smacked her lips, and looked at him with a smile. "Are you comforting me?"
"I'm just stating the facts." Zhu Zhiyao seemed to remember something. Leaning against the railing, he looked at Ji Siyue and said, "Lao Qin is right. You're putting too much pressure on yourself. Whenever something happens to a team member, you blame yourself. There's really no need for that, you know?"
"Come on... Everyone says I'm putting too much pressure on myself, but I don't even know it!"
"Siyue, besides being angry that your solution is different from the professional's, is there anything else?"
Ji Siyue blurted out without thinking, "No!"
Zhu Zhiyao said, "I think you're jealous."
Ji Siyue said, "... Yes. I always feel jealous whenever a woman is around the senior. I think it's wrong, so I came out."
As soon as she finished speaking, something hit Ji Siyue on the head.
Ji Siyue covered her head and pouted at Zhu Zhiyao. "What are you doing!"
"What are you thinking about!" Zhu Zhiyao said helplessly. "Jealousy is a good thing. It shows that you care about him. Sometimes, jealousy can also be a way to boost your relationship."
"You're a single dog teaching me how to date!"
After a while, Ji Siyue asked again, "But then, didn't you date anyone during your four years in college?"
"... No."
"What about the person you like?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Ji Siyue suddenly became very excited.
"Who is it? Who is it? Ah, I won't ask like that. Are you going to confess your feelings?"
Zhu Zhiyao just looked at Ji Siyue without saying a word.
Ji Siyue felt a bit guilty under his stare and couldn't help touching her face. What's wrong? Why is he looking at me like this? Is there something on my face?
Finally, before Ji Siyue could think any more, Zhu Zhiyao answered the question. "The person I like will never like me back, so I've decided to keep my feelings buried deep in my heart."
"Ah... It's a tragic love story..."
Ji Siyue looked very tangled and started to regret asking this question.
She really didn't know how to chat. He came to comfort her, but she ended up stabbing him in the heart!
"Sorry!"
"There's no need to be sorry." Zhu Zhiyao stared at Ji Siyue very seriously and said, "Siyue, remember, no matter what happens... you've done nothing wrong. Let's go back inside. It's time to post the news. Xingxing should have finished editing it by now. Among us, your and Lao Qin's Weibo accounts have the most influence. You two should post it together."
Ji Siyue nodded seriously and followed Zhu Zhiyao back into the room.
Liu Xuejiao was discussing legal issues with Qin Chengyao. When she saw Ji Siyue come in, she even gave a provocative smile.
In an instant, Ji Siyue felt a surge of anger rising in her heart. But thinking about the current situation, she managed to hold it back and started posting the news with Nangong and Xingxing.
After editing the news and the video, Ji Siyue logged into her Weibo account on the computer and posted it.
Seeing that she had posted it, Xingxing stood up and said, "I'll go get the captain's phone!"
"No need!" As she was speaking, Ji Siyue had already logged into Qin Chengyao's Weibo account on the computer.
Seeing Ji Siyue switch between the two IDs without any problem, Xingxing couldn't help showing an ambiguous smile. "Oh~ You know the captain's password!"
"All his passwords are my birthday! I know them!" She deliberately raised her voice so that the two people on the other side could hear.
The smile on Liu Xuejiao's lips froze for a moment. Looking at Qin Chengyao, she asked, "Junior brother, is your girlfriend jealous?"
"Maybe. Let's continue discussing the lawsuit." Qin Chengyao replied casually.
Liu Xuejiao still didn't give up and continued to ask, "By the way, your girlfriend used to be an online anchor, right? I heard that people like her..."
These words were very ambiguous.
Qin Chengyao finally couldn't focus on the important matter anymore. Instead, he looked at Liu Xuejiao and gave a cold smile. "Lawyer Liu, we hired you as our legal advisor. We can talk about personal matters after the work is done."
Liu Xuejiao had expected him to react so strongly and wasn't scared. Instead, she nodded lightly. "Okay."
"Also, I don't need someone who I haven't seen for half a year to comment on what kind of person my girlfriend is. Do you understand, senior sister?"
This time, Liu Xuejiao couldn't maintain her expression anymore.
She almost immediately stood up and didn't dare to look Qin Chengyao in the eye. "I'll go... I'll go to the bathroom. I'll be back soon to deal with the important matter."
On the other side, Ji Siyue was very sensitive to the commotion over there. Seeing Liu Xuejiao leave, she couldn't help but start thinking wildly.
What happened over there?
Just then, there was a sudden loud noise from the bathroom.
"Bang!"
Almost instantly, everyone stood up and ran towards the bathroom.
