Chapter 16 Su Li's Conspiracy

Shi Xinxin left their office.

She found her little assistant, Yang Yue.

"President Shi."

"How is Su Li's case going recently?"

She had to see how capable this sister was.

"Yang Xin is determined to fight Su Li to the end. The Su family, which originally wanted to distance themselves, seems to be giving Su Li some power."

"Su Li has lost her title as chief designer and has been reassigned to grassroots management by Su Beichen, her father."

"Externally, it's claimed that Su Li's actions have nothing to do with the Su family, but you know, Zhao Yuan would do anything for money."

"The court date is the day after tomorrow."

Yang Yue reported on the recent movements of the Su family, occasionally adding her own subjective comments.

"Yueyue, did you get the results from investigating Su Li's friends like I asked before?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yue quickly handed over the folder in her hand.

"And that custom jewelry you asked me to investigate, I've also found relevant clues."

"It was indeed given by Su Li, but it's not genuine. This is the jewelry appraisal result."

Yang Yue stood silently before Shi Xinxin's desk, waiting for Shi Xinxin's instructions.

"Su Ning, a collateral branch of the Su family, and my former cousin." Shi Xinxin murmured to herself, looking at the contents of the folder.

It seemed her guess was correct. The familiar figure she saw at the entrance of Haojue was indeed this Su Ning.

But what role did this Su Ning play in this incident?

"Zhang Qiyu, a popular idol, is kept by the boss of a famous entertainment company. She met Su Li by chance and wanted to climb the social ladder, trying every means to please Su Li."

Shi Xinxin read aloud. Judging by the figure, it was likely the woman who took close-up photos of her at the private club just now.

It seemed the edited message she sent was also intended to relay information to Su Li.

"President Shi, this person is being kept by several people, but they are unaware of each other's existence."

"I didn't expect this woman to be so capable. She's a 'sea queen.' Out of curiosity, I followed up on the people who were keeping her."

"The last few pages of the folder contain information about those people."

Shi Xinxin slowly studied the information about these people, thinking of ways to catch them all in one go.

...

Su Li had been busy with the lawsuit against Yang Xin these past few days. She hadn't expected this woman to be so relentless.

She was utterly worn down by the constant harassment, and she applied three layers of concealer and foundation when she went out.

"It's all Su Luo's fault, that bitch. Don't think you can escape just because you changed your name. You'll still be bullied in the end."

"Sooner or later, I'll trample you under my feet."

As she was viciously cursing Shi Xinxin, her phone vibrated twice.

A message arrived.

Su Li slowly opened her phone.

Seeing the name Zhang Qiyu, she sneered even harder.

She was just a sycophantic woman, and the fish in her pond were almost jumping out.

She thought she was a popular idol, but she was just a slut who used her body for favor.

Su Li's eyes were filled with disdain.

"[Lili, look what I found.]"

She sent five photos.

Su Li enlarged them and saw the face she longed to scratch off her skin.

The woman with black sunglasses, only her delicate chin exposed, looked exactly the same as she did at the press conference that day.

Her eyes glinted with malice.

"[Why are you sending me this?]"

Su Li thought she would try to get some information, but she absolutely couldn't let Zhang Qiyu, this bootlicker, realize she wanted these details.

"[Lili, how could you not know? This area is full of private clubs for wealthy patrons. I inquired, and there are no Shi family residences nearby.]"

Of course, Zhang Qiyu had no idea that it was Sheng Chenjin's private club.

"[So, Shi Xinxin is just a kept mistress.]"

"[I've given you close-ups, perfectly clear, and photos of the surroundings of this club.]"

"[Remember to bring me along when you personally go to trouble her!]"

Seeing this, Su Li couldn't hide her smile. With this, wouldn't the day she knelt and begged for mercy be far off?

"[Thank you, Qiyu. You're a star with such high popularity, so I'll be counting on you then!]" Su Li typed this with a blank expression.

"[Do you like this piece of jewelry? It's for you!]"

"[Image]"

This was a cheap piece of jewelry that Su Li detested the most, but the design was indeed good, despite the coarse material.

As expected, Zhang Qiyu accepted it with joy.

Su Li didn't reply further and found the WeChat account of a media outlet.

"[Hello, are you there? I have some juicy gossip about a wealthy family, are you interested?]"

"[Of course, we're interested.]" The other party responded quickly.

Su Li smiled sinisterly, her eyes filled with determination.

Shi Xinxin, this time, you won't escape.

...

The next day, Shi Xinxin went to the company as usual, only to find the atmosphere a bit off.

The employees who greeted her were all cautious, lacking their usual enthusiasm.

Shi Xinxin frowned, a subconscious feeling that something was wrong.

As she walked into her office, about to ask her assistant, she saw Assistant Yang Yue rushing into her office anxiously.

"President Shi, something has happened."

"What is it?"

Shi Xinxin looked at Yang Yue with a calm gaze. Yang Yue, influenced by her, also calmed down.

"Please, look at Weibo."

"President Shi, the employees don't believe you are that kind of person, but this photo, it is indeed yours."

Shi Xinxin frowned.

She methodically opened Weibo and saw the top trending topic.

#The Game of the Wealthy! The Young Lady Who Just Returned to the Country is Already Being Kept by a Tycoon!#

Shi Xinxin's face was covered in black lines as she looked at the topic.

Obviously, the photo attached below was the one Zhang Qiyu took of her in front of Sheng Chenjin's club.

"This is indeed me, but they are attacking the wrong person."

"I was indeed there on business."

Hearing Shi Xinxin admit it herself, Yang Yue's eyes showed shock, then she regained a look of relief.

"That's good, but others don't believe it. With such a situation now, the public will be discussing it with great interest, and the heat won't die down. What should we do?"

"Of course, there's a way. Contact the media and expose the relationship between Zhang Qiyu and Su Li, as well as their respective private lives."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Shi Xinxin tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.

She held her phone in one hand, scrolling through the exposé.

She read the comments one by one.

Her face showed no signs of anger or rage.

Su Li, this is not me attacking you first. Who told you to impatiently strike at me first.

The internet was filled with罵聲一片 (curses and condemnations), all because Su Li had paid for paid commenters to spread rumors.

[As expected, wealthy young ladies play hard. Isn't this the woman who made the Su family's young lady lose her composure at the Su Corporation's jewelry company launch event?]

[Brothers, I know, this is the CEO of CL Company, named Shi Xinxin. She's very mysterious. She just returned from abroad a few days ago.]

[A woman like this is nothing but a pretty face. What kind of company does she run? I think running a company is just an excuse.]

Shi Xinxin could tell at a glance that these posts digging for her information were from paid commenters. Although they weren't directly insulting her, they were subtly revealing her personal information.

Shi Xinxin had been looking at them absentmindedly, but then she thought of something.

This was also an opportunity!

Even infamy could lead to fame.

When she came out to clarify later, she could add fuel to the fire, and the public attention would definitely be even higher than it was now.

She wouldn't have to spend a single cent. After all, Su Li had already helped her pay for traffic!

Thinking of this, Su Li didn't seem so detestable anymore.

Shi Xinxin's calm face suddenly lit up with brilliance.
