"Look at this. The biggest beneficiary of Jinsheng's bankruptcy is Ruiqian! I noticed that Jinsheng is always compared with your company. Are you mortal enemies?"
"It's just that their businesses overlap, they are just ordinary competitors." Xie Duo answered calmly.
"Hmm..." Shen Antu continued to read the news, "Ah! I saw a piece of news with comments cursing you."
Shen Antu forwarded the news to Xie Duo. Xie Duo clicked on it and found out that it was an interview Shen Chao had recently given, in which he talked about some of his thoughts after the failure of the land bid at the City Hall.
"We at Jinsheng have always been committed to listening to people's voices and trying our best to meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the masses. Building an amusement park in City Z has always been the most popular demand among citizens. Unfortunately, although our direction is good, we still have great shortcomings in terms of means..."
Xie Duo quickly finished reading the entire article, which basically said that the reason why Jinsheng failed to obtain the land to build an amusement park was not because of problems with their proposal, but because of their "methods". It implied that Ruiqian and the City Hall were operating behind the scenes and were determined to replace the amusement park that the citizens had been dreaming of with an eco-resort.
Xie Duo had read this interview when it came out a few days ago. All the comments from the troll army below said that Rui Qian only knew how to flatter his superiors and was greedy for money.
Shen Antu typed quickly: "Mr. Xie, don't be sad. I will scold him back for you."
Xie Duo looked at Shen Antu's background data and found that he not only cursed Shen Chao as an idiot under this news, but also went to Jinsheng's official blog to ask why they hadn't gone bankrupt yet.
Xie Duo laughed and said to Shen Antu, "Go search for economic news on Channel XX."
Xie Duo seldom uses public opinion to build momentum for Rui Qian. It's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but there's no need to. However, if some people think they can step on Rui Qian's head because of this, Xie Duo doesn't mind opening their eyes.
Shen Antu followed his instructions and searched the XX channel. He saw a video news. The cover was a picture of Xie Duo sitting upright and being interviewed. It had been forwarded over 10,000 times.
Shen Antu knew Xie Duo had won before he even clicked on the video. Xie Duo's face in front of the camera was no less than that of a star. When Shen Antu watched it for the first time, he didn't pay any attention to what Xie Duo was saying, so he had to watch it again from the beginning.
Xie Duo succinctly explained the impracticability of building an amusement park, and finally warned netizens to "leave professional matters to professionals and take care of yourself."
Under this video, netizens' comments were much more objective, and they all posted comments like "mind your own business", and gradually turned to coveting Xie Duo's beauty. Shen Antu was delighted to see this.
Xie Duo stared at Shen Antu on the screen, watching him rolling over and over on the bed, his pair of charming peach blossom eyes curved into a half-moon shape, and he smiled and praised, "Mr. Xie is so handsome."
It was already very late, but Xie Duo never took the initiative to hang up the video. As long as Shen Antu was willing, he could chat with him all night.
Shen Antu has been paying attention to the time. Although he was a little reluctant, he still said, "You are going to sleep, Mr. Xie."
"Yeah." Xie Duo responded, but did not say goodbye. He just looked at Shen Antu wholeheartedly.
Shen Antu felt a little overwhelmed by being stared at, so he asked him, "When will you be back?"
"It will take another three or four days. I will definitely be back before New Year's Day." Xie Duo promised.
"Oh..." Shen Antu felt a little unhappy.
Xie Duo knew that he had been staying at home and not going anywhere these days, and was very bored, so he asked him: "I can have three days off for New Year's Day, do you want to go somewhere to play?"
Shen Antu didn't react when he heard this. He just turned over and lay on the bed, tucking his bangs that covered his eyes behind his ears. His hair had grown long enough to be tied into a small bun. He fiddled with the new phone Xie Duo bought for him: "I don't want to go anywhere. I just want to stay home with you."
After Shen Antu's suspected "disappearance" that afternoon, the two of them developed some kind of strange tacit understanding and never mentioned the matter again. Xie Duo even lifted the ban on the front door of his house, allowing Shen Antu to enter and exit freely as long as he had the password, but he still did not leave the villa.
Shen Antu was talking about his holiday plans, saying that he wanted to watch the New Year's Eve party, buy some snacks, and ask Xie Duo to be his model and listen to his erhu music. Finally, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Why don't we invite Xie Wenxuan and Ji Yuan to celebrate the New Year together? It will be more lively with more people, and the four of us can play cards together!"
Xie Duo laughed at him: "What are you fighting for, a kitten fishing?"
Shen Antu was furious: "Fight the Landlord! I'm really good now, nine out of ten times I win!"
"What does it mean that nine out of ten hosts win?"
"Nine times out of ten you'll win if you call the landlord!"
"… "
Ji Yuan received the message from Shen Antu before going to bed at night.
S: [Come to my house on the night of the 31st to celebrate the New Year, don’t forget.]
Ji Yuan held his cell phone and stayed awake all night.
Chapter 39 New Year's Eve
This week's plot will be quite high-energy, please fasten your seat belts
Xie Duo's plane landed on the afternoon of the 31st. After Shen Antu heard that Chen Xu was with him, he invited him to have dinner at home. Zhou Minghui also came to the villa shamelessly after knowing the news. Shen Antu didn't intend to let him in, but unexpectedly Zhou Minghui called him "Mrs. Xie" as soon as they met, which made Shen Antu beg him to leave a crack in the door for him.
