It seems like the time has finally come…
As soon as Ou Yunchen stepped off the plane, his phone buzzed with news about the girl group. The online arguments had been relentless, and even with some people defending TBP now, it was difficult to counter the other side.
Ou Yunchen made a call.
— In call with Liu Jinhua —
Ou Yunchen: "With this kind of thing happening, why didn't you notify me immediately?"
Liu Jinhua: "These things happen frequently in the entertainment industry. I thought I could handle it myself. Besides, you are an investor, and according to convention, investors do not get involved in these matters…"
Ou Yunchen: "You mean you can handle it yourself?"
Liu Jinhua: "I am working hard to resolve it…"
Ou Yunchen: "What have you done?"
Liu Jinhua: "I've hired online trolls and posted TBP's hard-earned training videos. I believe this will lead to a positive trend soon…"
Ou Yunchen: "I may not understand your industry's rules, but my rule is to seek revenge for any wrong!"
Liu Jinhua: "But we've only just debuted. If we don't change our image and confront them directly, we'll only lose more endorsements and invitations."
Ou Yunchen: "Aren't you a top agent? After all this time, you're still in this state? Negative news keeps trending, isn't that proof your methods aren't working?"
Liu Jinhua: "I apologize, I was too cautious. Because I cherish TBP so much, I don't want them to be affected. Most importantly, we cannot create enemies at this time…"
Ou Yunchen: "While you cherish TBP, also cherish our entertainment company. I can't wait for you to stall like this. I will solve it my own way."
Liu Jinhua: "Mr. Ou, please give me some more time…"
Ou Yunchen: "I have only one task for you: use all your connections to find out who was the first to slander TBP!"
"Find out if it's your enemy or these girls' enemy. No matter their background, you will report to me truthfully, word for word!"
— Call with Liu Jinhua ended —
Secretary: "Mr. Ou, these items?"
Ou Yunchen glanced at the shopping bags.
Ou Yunchen: "Send them to this address."
The secretary looked. Wasn't this the house he had bought not long ago?!
Her boss was such a strange person, buying a house and making it look ordinary, even a little shabby…
Even the furniture had to be second-hand. It was a new house, yet he wanted it to look like it had been lived in for a long time.
Even stranger, he had hired an employee to pretend to be the tenant and rent the house out to someone else.
Oh, right. She heard that the boss had taken a young woman in her twenties to see the house that day!
Wait? Twenty-something?!
At the duty-free shop, Mr. Ou had mentioned buying some cosmetics for a young woman in her twenties!
That’s it!
Perhaps the young woman living there now was Mr. Ou's love interest!
The secretary suddenly felt like she had stumbled upon a huge secret!
So, this stern boss also had such a tender and romantic side!
Ou Yunchen: "What are you thinking about?"
Secretary: "Don't worry, Mr. Ou, I'll send them over immediately!"
Without waiting for Ou Yunchen to say anything more, the secretary quickly loaded all the shopping bags and Ou Yunchen's suitcase into the car. She didn't even wait for Ou Yunchen to get in before telling the driver to hurry up!
Ou Yunchen stood by the roadside, shouting at the car that had sped off into the distance, "Hey! I didn't tell you to go now!!!"
Curious to see what the young woman looked like, the secretary was solely focused on getting to the house quickly, completely forgetting that her boss was still standing at the airport entrance…
***
While Ou Yunchen was standing there in a bewildered state, a line of cars stopped one after another in an orderly fashion, until a van cut in amongst them.
After the other cars pulled over, a group of bodyguards first stepped out. They gestured for Ou Yunchen to enter, and then the van door slowly opened.
A man inside excitedly spread his arms, warmly inviting Ou Yunchen into the van. However, another person next to him glared at Ou Yunchen with palpable anger.
Seeing the two men and one woman in the van, Ou Yunchen let out a cold laugh. This trick again!!!
Colin: "Ah ha! My old friend, we meet again!!!"
Ou Yunchen was almost forced into the van. He sat opposite Colin, but he never expected Sister Lan and Tong Zekai to also be in this pervert's car!
Sister Lan: "Mr. Ou, I heard you just came from…"
Colin pointed at Tong Zekai and then at Sister Lan. Both of them smiled politely.
Their actions told Ou Yunchen that both of them feared Colin, and this was indeed the case. Their expressions clearly showed they were much more reserved than when they interacted in private.
Colin: "Shall we go eat beautiful sashimi?"
Sister Lan chimed in agreement, and Tong Zekai could only nod reluctantly.
Colin suddenly leaned close to Ou Yunchen's face. Ou Yunchen leaned back, and Colin became even more audacious, wrapping an arm around Ou Yunchen's neck. He whispered into Ou Yunchen's ear with a hiss.
Colin: "It's the kind where we place delicious food on a maiden, and we can only use chopsticks to pick up food from her and eat it…"
"She's completely bare, so be careful with your chopsticks. Don't touch her… don't get any naughty ideas."
Ou Yunchen violently shook off Colin's arm and pushed him back into his seat.
Colin's perversions were omnipresent; the entire car was filled with his fantasies!
Ou Yunchen: "I'm busy. Speak your mind."
Colin happily stomped his feet and clapped his hands. He loved seeing Ou Yunchen's cold, authoritative, and slightly angry demeanor.
Colin: "He doesn't know. He definitely doesn't know. You tell him, tell him why I'm here!"
Colin shook Tong Zekai's arm, but Tong Zekai was already annoyed by Ou Yunchen's presence. He spoke as if squeezing every word through his teeth.
Tong Zekai: "Mr. Colin has decided to invest in the Su Group. He will become its largest shareholder."
