Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

31 -31: The Elegant Gentleman, Second Master Huo

On hearing these words, a look of realization crossed Qin Ruan’s face.

She brushed her hair back behind her head, stood up barefoot, and stepped onto the carpet.

A cold voice with a hint of hoarseness echoed, “How much did they offer?”

The man replied, “A six-digit number starting with two.”

“Hmph!”

Qin Ruan snickered, “Trying to buy space in Chuangshi Entertainment publications with only two hundred thousand?

Mr.

Li, this is quite a bargain.”

Mr.

Li, the general manager of Chuangshi Entertainment publications, Li Ming.

Qin Ruan had met him two days ago, and they had made some transactions.

Or to put it more accurately, they had struck a business deal.

Qin Ruan had given him a million yuan, asking him to watch out for any scandalous photos or videos involving the Qin family in Chuangshi Entertainment publications during this period.

In her past life, Han Xian, Han Kexin had employed such methods, making Qin Ruan a social outcast, hated by everyone.

The mother and daughter provided stories of her tumultuous private life, entanglement with multiple men, and loose behaviour to the Chuangshi Entertainment publications, complete with photos and videos as evidence.

Although the person in those photos and videos was not her, the woman depicted was partially pixelated in some, while in others it was blatantly photoshopped onto her.

The signs of digital alteration in these photos and videos were extremely obvious.

Even though some picked up on this, no one stood up for her.

People would rather gather around and watch the spectacle, pointing fingers at her.

In her previous life, the timing of the mother and daughter’s scheme had been impeccable.

The scandal broke when her father fell ill after discovering Han Xian’s collusion with his uncle.

The company was leaderless and in chaos, and her elder brother faced opposition in his attempts to take over the family business.

Her father and elder brother wished to suppress the “scandal”, but their efforts were in vain.

An underground force was manipulating events, making it impossible to suppress the scandal, it even tarnished the company’s reputation and caused substantial loss to the Qin Group.

In this life, this mother-daughter duo took action early.

Qin Ruan sneered coldly.

If that’s the case, she wouldn’t hold back either.

Li Ming, sounding hoarse, asked, “Miss Qin, what should we do next?”

“Naturally, we continue our previous arrangement.

I will soon send you the photos of the people who anonymously sent things to your company.

Remember to have your technicians work diligently, Mr.

Li.

I expect to see a perfect front page on Chuangshi Entertainment’s publications tomorrow, with no signs of editing.”

Li Ming replied dutifully, “Very well, I’ll get my team to work all night immediately.”

Qin Ruan chuckled softly, her tone ambiguous, “Then I appreciate your effort.”

“It’s our pleasure, Miss Qin.

You’re too polite.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Ruan stood before full-length window, looking distantly at the blurry treetops below.

In her previous life, she had been embroiled in family feuds, lived vaguely without any ambition or contention, and had been manipulated until her death.

In this life, she would not let herself be slaughtered without a fight.

Any claws that came out, detrimental to her or the Qin family, should not be surprised when she ruthlessly cuts them off.

Qin Ruan extended her slender, scarred fingers and reached towards the glass in front of her, making a grasping motion as if to seize everything in her grasp.

A smug and confident smile creeped onto her lips.

…

Meanwhile.

A private plane landed in a quaint, yet grand courtyard in East City.

As the plane came to a halt, the door opened from within, and several well-trained figures in black approached.

A man, wearing a casual suit, with a handsome face and deep, charming eyes, like a debonair noble straight out of a painting, slowly descended from the plane.

“Second Master!”

The people in black bowed their heads respectively, invoking his title reverently.
