Xia Xingchen understood it all at once. His last name was Bai. In her life, this was the only man she knew with the last name Bai, and there would never be anyone else except Bai Yeqing.
But why are they demolishing the house so early in the morning?
Xia Xingchen dialed the phone with a lot of questions in her mind. At this moment, Bai Yeqing had just arrived downstairs in the office. The guard passed by and saluted him. He raised his hand, scanned his palm prints, and after successfully entering, he answered her phone.
"Did you really invite the designer?" Xia Xingchen asked.
"Yeah. A royal designer, his skills should be pretty good. Why, you don't like it?"
"No..." Xia Xingchen glanced at the designer and walked aside. "It's just that why do you want to tear down the house? I actually live quite well in this small house."
"It's barely ok for you to live alone. But how do you want the three of us to live? Like last time, all squeeze into one bed?"
Thinking of what happened last time, Xia Xingchen blushed. But... this seems a little wrong!
"What do you mean three people living together? You don't want to..."
"Occasionally, I also go to see Dabai. If it's too late, it's not bad to stay here."
"..." Xia Xingchen looked at the house being demolished, and the corners of his lips twitched. It has been expanded to such a large size, is it really just for occasional stay?
"It will take two or three days to tidy up the house. During these two or three days, you can temporarily move back to the manor."
Xia Xingchen looked at the house next door that was already under construction and felt that she had no choice. Bai Yeqing started to get busy, and after a few simple instructions, the two hung up the phone.
After getting out of the elevator, Chi Weiyang was waiting at the elevator entrance. He handed her the breakfast he had just bought, sipped his soy milk and complained, "Why are you so slow? I almost went up to catch someone."
… … … …
This way.
Bai Yeqing hung up the phone and prepared to go to the reception room on the top floor of the office. He was going to meet several dignitaries today.
Leng Fei received a call outside, and his face changed drastically. The next moment, he hurriedly opened the door of the reception room, not caring about the inquiring eyes of the guests inside, and walked straight towards him in the chairman's seat.
"Your Excellency!" Leng Fei called out.
As soon as he saw his expression, Bai Yeqing knew something serious had happened. Leng Fei and he had been through life and death together for so many years, and they had seen all kinds of big scenes, but he rarely looked so impatient.
Bai Yeqing nodded slightly to the guests, told the others to entertain them first, and walked out of the reception room and went straight to the office. After closing the door, Leng Fei took out a newspaper and handed it to him, then said solemnly: "Please read this news!"
Bai Yeqing looked at it and his expression, which was usually expressionless, changed. It became cold and stern.
There were several photos on the news headlines. They were the photos of him and Xia Xingchen taken on the bus last time! In the photos, his face was clearly visible and could be recognized at a glance. Fortunately, her face was mosaiced and not clear. The other party was obviously reserved, and even her hairstyle and figure were specially processed. Intentionally blurred.
The entire news article had no content, only a huge headline, and the headline had only seven characters: "President's Car Sex Scandal!"
The entire article is filled with photos of this news. Very conspicuous.
"… What about the Internet?" Bai Yeqing asked in a deep voice.
Leng Fei didn't dare to say anything, and just handed over the IPAD. Bai Yeqing took a quick look and saw that the Internet had exploded just a minute ago.
—So sad! I always thought Mr. President was an abstinent handsome man, how come... Oh, it's ruined!
—How can a person with such a messy private life be the president of a country? He is about to get engaged, but now such a scandal breaks out! A promiscuous person cannot have a good character! I suggest that he step down immediately! We should write a joint letter and send it to the Senate and the House of Representatives!
—Now no one has any evidence that the girl blurred out is not Miss Song Weiyi? Even Miss Song has not made any public statement, so why are you jumping out to make irresponsible remarks?
—No matter what, I am extremely disappointed with the president. Next time, I will never vote for President Bai again. I originally preferred Vice President Yu, and now I am more determined in my choice.
—But don’t forget that during the period when President Bai was in office, his political achievements, military strength and economic development were unprecedented in history! His merits outweigh his faults, don’t they?
—Do you know what it means that heroes are made by the times? If Vice President Yu or Vice President Song were to take over now, they would certainly have the same achievements.
…
The Internet is a mess, with all kinds of comments.
Bai Yeqing didn't read on and threw the IPAD back to Leng Fei. A layer of frost hung on his face.
"Who exposed it?" he asked in a low voice.
"We've checked. It's... Vice President Yu."
Bai Yeqing nodded slightly, not surprised. After a moment's hesitation, he said in a deep voice: "Make sure no news about Xingchen is leaked online! Don't let her get hurt in this matter!"
"Yes, sir, don't worry."
Here, just as the two of them finished talking, Leng Fei's phone rang. Before he could pick it up, the landline in the office rang one after another.
There was a knock on the office door, and secretary assistant Tony pushed the door open and came in hurriedly: "Sir, EAST Media and West Media both want to interview you. Some portal websites also called in."
"And the public mailbox... just within the past minute, thousands of emails were received at the same time."
Obviously, this matter has been expanding rapidly in the form of germs and is out of control.
"Your Excellency." The door was pushed open again, and Rui Gang came in with a heavy face. He looked at the president solemnly, and then said, "Vice President Song is here."
… … … …
the other side.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Xia Xingchen had just put down her things and went into the bathroom when she heard a colleague say, "Cleaning lady, it's a little dirty in here, could you please come and clean it up?"
Then, Xia Xingchen turned around subconsciously and saw the familiar figure. Li Lingyi came in with a mop and a broom, and was also stunned when she saw Xia Xingchen. Then, her hateful eyes pierced over, and those eyes were like sharp knives. If eyes could kill, Xia Xingchen felt that she had been killed countless times.
She didn't stay long, and just passed by Li Ling. Her colleague followed her out and laughed, "Xingchen, why do I feel like you have offended the cleaning lady? Did you see the look in her eyes? It's as if she wants to eat you up!"
Xia Xingchen curled her lips and said nothing.
At this moment, Chi Weiyang ran towards her with a serious expression. "Xingchen! Something terrible has happened!"
Xia Xingchen was startled by her expression, paused, and asked, "What's wrong?"
