Ji Xiaoli felt like her head was about to explode.
"Mom! Can you please act like a mother?!"
Wei Yanlan was taken aback by her words. "What's wrong with mom? Isn't mom understanding enough of you?"
Ji Xiaoli's temples throbbed even more painfully.
She took a deep breath and said, "Mom, the main task now is to refute the rumors. I can't get in touch with those two marketing accounts that posted the blog posts. I'm going to start from their company, that is Canxing Entertainment. I'm going to buy it. Do you have any way, mom?"
"Canxing Entertainment..."
Wei Yanlan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh! Canxing Entertainment! I know. The market was saying a year ago that they were begging for a gold - daddy. I remember the market value of their company is around... more than 40 million?"
"Xiaoli, do you want to acquire it? If you need, mom can help you contact them. And do you have enough money? If not, mom will give it to you."
"No need. 40 million is not much. I still have it."
Ji Xiaoli calculated in her mind. "Mom, just help me contact about the acquisition."
"Okay, okay."
Wei Yanlan agreed, but couldn't help but admonish again, "Xiaoli, you should... cough, be more low - key. This time you've silenced Canxing. What about next time? Are you going to buy another company?"
Moreover, what about her son - in - law Nan Feng...
"Mom, you..."
Ji Xiaoli was speechless with anger. So Wei Yanlan thought she was going to acquire Canxing just to silence them?
Forget it, no need to explain!
Ji Xiaoli perfunctorily replied a few words and then hung up the phone.
In a short while, two text messages popped up.
One was a message from Wei Yanlan transferring 80 million to her.
The other was from Wei Yanlan:
"Baby, it's time to settle down! Your dad is coming back soon from his oil - drilling job. Show him your best self! Mom loves you! [Smiley face]"
The taxi screeched to a halt at the school gate.
The driver said gruffly, "Fifteen yuan!"
After Ji Xiaoli scanned the code to pay, she faintly heard the driver muttering behind her, "Really, saying '40 million is not much', but still taking a taxi..."
Ji Xiaoli looked back, but the driver had already sped away.
She was speechless and then seriously thought in her heart that after she finished all these things, she would buy a car!
...
On Thursday, at Canxing Entertainment.
Yuan Fang rubbed her frizzy curly hair and walked into the meeting room sleepily. The boss had suddenly called an emergency meeting and even emphasized that even little people like them should attend. She had no idea what it was about.
But to be honest, the company was getting more and more in a slump...
"Sister Chun."
Yuan Fang shouted at the woman with the same frizzy curly hair as hers. By then, quite a few people had already arrived in the meeting room. Since the big boss hadn't come yet, everyone was slouching around.
Yuan Fang got closer to Sister Chun and whispered, "What do you think this meeting is for?"
"Who knows?"
Sister Chun was holding a small dressing mirror and combing her frizzy hair. Her hairstyle was not messy today, which was good. She pursed her bright red lips and said, "Maybe the company can't operate anymore and is going to dissolve?"
Yuan Fang gasped, "Really?"
"Why not?"
Brother Xia beside them yawned and said leisurely, "The company has been in a bad situation. It has been barely surviving in the past two years. Look at the jobs we've taken recently..."
Sister Chun and Brother Xia looked at each other, and their helplessness was palpable.
"Ahem, comrades."
The boss finally stepped into the meeting room in his shiny leather shoes.
Hearing this, Yuan Fang quickly sat up straight and looked at the boss.
The boss had his hair slicked back and looked beaming. "I have good news for everyone. From today on, our Canxing Entertainment will welcome a new CEO!"
Yuan Fang was stunned.
There was really a new CEO!
Yuan Fang didn't know whether she should be glad that the company hadn't gone bankrupt or think about whether the new CEO was a handsome and rich tycoon.
She craned her neck to look outside -
Damn...
Her neck was about to break...
Who could tell her why she saw Ji Xiaoli in such a serious occasion!
And Ji Xiaoli, with a bright and generous smile on her face, was welcomed to the center by the boss. "Xiaoli, say hello to everyone!"
The boss said cheerfully and then introduced her to everyone. "Well, this Miss Ji should not be a stranger to you. Due to some misunderstandings, there were some frictions between our company and Miss Ji in some previous businesses. But it doesn't matter! After this incident, we've cleared up our misunderstandings!"
"Great!"
Some people who didn't know the situation started to clap and agree.
In this lively atmosphere, Yuan Fang's face turned pale. She lowered her head and looked at Sister Chun...
Sister Chun had already shrunk behind the desk and was looking at Brother Xia fearfully.
And Brother Xia... was already covered in cold sweat, and his mind was roaring with only one sentence - Mom, I want to go home!
"Hey, Yuan Fang, come on, say hello to CEO Ji!"
Yuan Fang, who was called out, felt her heart pounding. She stood up tremblingly.
To be honest, I was scared at that time!
Yuan Fang swallowed hard and forced a smile as she looked at Ji Xiaoli. "C - C - C - CEO Ji..."
"Yeah." Ji Xiaoli smiled gently and nodded slightly, then asked, "Who is 'Entertainment Gossip Granny'?"
In the silent meeting room, a chubby hand slowly raised.
Sister Chun lowered her head and stood up bit by bit. Her bright red lips that had been carefully painted were now twisted from being bitten. "CEO Ji... It's me."
"Oh~"
Ji Xiaoli nodded again. "Then, who is 'Gossip Girl'?"
The meeting room fell silent.
Yuan Fang and Sister Chun both looked at Brother Xia, their eyes full of sympathy but also - Dude, accept your fate! Stop pretending!
Brother Xia wanted to cry but had no tears. He had no choice but to stand in line with them.
A new official always starts with three fires, and the three of us are just the right ones!
Ji Xiaoli looked at the three people with their heads down somewhat amusingly. They really looked like kids who had done something wrong.
"How much 'credit' do the three of you have for that news in the company recently?"
Yuan Fang quickly said, "CEO Ji, please listen to my explanation!"
Sister Chun said, "It was all my fabrication out of thin air! I'm not a good person!!"
Seeing that they had said everything, Brother Xia had no choice but to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead and say awkwardly, "Well! They are not good people!"
Ji Xiaoli's smile grew wider. She nodded slightly and asked, "I need an explanation."
Yuan Fang's scalp went numb. Between her job and sisterhood, she quickly weighed the pros and cons -
"CEO Ji, I was wrong! It was my sister Yuan Yuan who gave me the tip - off, and then Tony, Zhong Canxi's agent, also asked us to do the same news, so we... we..."
"We'll go and delete the posts now!" Sister Chun quickly added.
Brother Xia nervously glanced at the two of them. "Yes! Delete them now!"
