Watching the jailer's fluctuating emotions, Bo Siming decided to press his advantage. "I'll be honest with you. Shen Shiyu is pregnant with my child. I originally planned to announce this after our engagement."
"This is the offspring of the Bo family. The detention center is so damp and gloomy. If anything happens to my woman and affects the baby's health, it won't be as simple as just firing you."
The jailer gasped in fright.
This shocking news hit him like a sledgehammer, making his head buzz.
"Y-You can rest assured! I'll try my best to figure something out!"
He turned around and was about to leave when Bo Siming called him back.
"Stop."
The jailer said timidly, "Young Master Bo, do you have any other instructions?"
Bo Siming smiled and folded two checks, then placed them in the jailer's palm.
"Do your job well and spend it well."
After watching Bo Siming's car drive away, the jailer wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Phew, acting is also a skill. Fortunately, I came up with an idea in the nick of time and acted vividly!"
Then he reported this matter to Bo Jingyu.
Anyway, it was a matter of getting money from both sides. It would be a waste not to do it.
At this moment, Bo Jingyu was sitting in the car with a gloomy face.
"Come on, I was just ten minutes late. Look at your long face. Be careful of getting wrinkles. Then you won't be able to be a handsome guy anymore."
Su Minghan joked and argued.
"I've always looked like this. If you don't like it, just get out of the car."
"...I've already explained it to you. My new car broke down and I asked Assistant Jiang to take it for repair. Otherwise, why would I call you to pick me up?"
Bo Jingyu frowned. "The new car broke down?"
"I'm also puzzled! It was fine when I drove here. I had just talked to Xiao Shujing for a few words when it suddenly had a problem."
Su Minghan rubbed his chin. "I suspect someone is up to something."
He snorted and laughed. "Your head is smarter than a monkey's. Who could play tricks on you? How did the negotiation for the endorsement go?"
"Everything is okay with Xiao Shujing. She's currently working on a public - service advertisement. I've already asked my people to inform Tian Danni."
He bit his lower lip and thought. "What do you think the president of Ahairui is up to? Suddenly deciding to have a dual - endorsement opportunity."
"Could she be trying to watch my two top stars fight against each other?"
Bo Jingyu knew exactly what was going on. "What else? Do you think she has nothing better to do and spends a fortune just to be a philanthropist?"
Apart from social news, the most popular thing that catches the public's attention is entertainment news. Which star gets married or has a baby, which star has an affair. That's exactly what Ahairui wants.
The battle between the popular female star and the returnee female star to see who is better.
Such a sensational and curiosity - arousing headline could even overshadow Bo Jingyu and Li Xiaoru's engagement ceremony. It was quite powerful but also quite offensive.
But the president of Ahairui was very meticulous. While offending people, she used the guise of business cooperation to win over the Su and Bo families.
She also conveniently made Li Xiaoru the main character in this incident.
It was a perfect move.
She clearly showed her superior position and also won people's hearts.
"Anyway, I think we can still make a fortune from this."
Su Minghan pointed at the approaching company. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.
"Wait."
Bo Jingyu observed the front carefully. A woman in a white suit got into a black car and slowly drove away.
"What's wrong?" He looked confused.
"It's her. I'm sure!"
Although he only saw a blurry side - face, Bo Jingyu could see clearly enough. That woman had always been behind Shen Ximan. Whether it was when they were competing for An Ruo at the beginning or when helping her escape from the hospital, that woman was there.
He had even forgotten about this woman.
"Don't just stay silent. What on earth is going on?"
Su Minghan was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.
"This incident might very well be Shen Ximan's doing behind the scenes."
Bo Jingyu squinted his eyes, still sounding skeptical.
"Isn't she in Lanshan? I heard she's working in a flower shop."
He looked up at the disappearing car, then turned around and patted his shoulder. "Brother, I know this incident has had a great impact on you, but let me be honest. If Shen Ximan really had the ability to come back, the first thing she would do would be to bring down the Shen family."
"My Su Corporation has nothing to do with her. It's impossible for her to send someone to plant a spy in my company, right?" Su Minghan laughed. "You must be too busy and under too much pressure these days."
Bo Jingyu sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Maybe."
What he said made sense. Moreover, even if Shen Ximan returned to Yancheng, she wouldn't have the ability to stay for more than half an hour.
He had already instructed his subordinates to monitor the whole city. As soon as they learned of her whereabouts, she would be forcibly sent back.
Since he had already told Qian Li to thoroughly investigate this matter, Bo Jingyu should be at ease. But for some reason, he always felt that something was missing.
Maybe he was just overthinking it about that woman just now.
When they arrived at the company, Su Minghan called Tian Danni to his office.
"Hello, Young Master Bo."
She simply and neatly tied her hair in a high ponytail. A few strands of her bangs were stuck together by sweat, faintly revealing a dark - red scar.
"I called you here today to..." As soon as he looked up, he noticed her scar, but since Bo Jingyu was there, he didn't say anything.
"I want to ask you about the endorsement of Ahairui's autumn new products."
"I have no objections." Tian Danni said without thinking.
Su Minghan was stunned. "So straightforward?"
He thought she would make a fuss. After all, she had had an unpleasant experience with Xiao Shujing before. This dual - person cooperation might be a bit difficult for her.
But unexpectedly, she readily accepted it.
"It's my honor to cooperate with a big brand like Ahairui. What's there to hesitate about? You didn't call me here just for this, did you?" She looked at him tiredly and helplessly.
"Actually, it's not. I just want you to withdraw."
Bo Jingyu suddenly spoke up.
This left both Tian Danni and Su Minghan stunned.
In the car just now, he hadn't mentioned this at all!
He just said he wanted to discuss Tian Danni's views on clothing, whether she had any favorite styles, so as to discuss with Li Xiaoru later.
"You didn't say that just now."
Bo Jingyu said expressionlessly, "But I've changed my mind."
"..." Su Minghan was speechless and even wanted to punch him.
"This is my opportunity. Why should I withdraw?"
Facing his order, Tian Danni was not afraid at all. She had been hesitating before, but now, being provoked like this, she got even more determined.
"You can't compare with Xiao Shujing. Apart from singing, dancing, and posing, what advantages do you think you have?" Bo Jingyu crossed his arms and said his opinion without hesitation, straightforward and ruthless.
Su Minghan watched as her eyes turned red, then slapped him on the arm. "She's my artist. Why are you judging her?"
