This Damned Sweetness

As soon as the camera was turned off, Xu Qiao pushed away Cheng Lang's left hand on her shoulder with a look of resentment.

At the beginning, Cheng Lang just said that if, in case the other party's trust cannot be gained, he can use such lines to invite him to appear on stage when he has to.

Xu Qiao was also thinking at the time that Liang Que, as an old man of Jin Lu, should be very aware of the incompatibility between her and Zhao Baoxing, as well as her temper of "If anyone offends me, I will offend others". If you do this, you may not be questioned "Are you so good?"

In the end, I really complied with the phrase "Dragon swims in shallow water and is bullied by dogs, and tigers fall in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs"—if you don't have money, you will be looked down upon.

In the end, Cheng Lang had to take advantage of it.

This man didn't even have a serious confession, and she was too unwilling to be promoted to the top by leapfrogging.

But he just wanted to help her, and it was not easy to go up and give her a heavy beating.

Thinking of this, Xu Qiao added an eye knife to Cheng Lang.

Seeing how rampant he has been recently, don't you think that saying "husband" means you are married to her

Cheng Lang withdrew his arms and rested them on the back of her chair, half leaning against the side of the chair, bowed his head and said, "You turn your face faster than you turn a book."

Call your husband with the front foot, and send you guns with the back foot.

What's the difference between this and the director calling card when the actor just entered the play

"Did you turn to that book? Don't read it if you don't like it." Xu Qiao raised her chin and looked at him.

"I like it." Cheng Lang answered without thinking.

Xu Qiao looked at him and blinked slowly, as if confirming that he was talking about a book or a person.

Cheng Lang stared at her with downcast eyes and smiled, as if confirming her generously.

The incomprehensible mobile phone vibrated suddenly, and the two looked away from each other.

Xu Qiao cleared her throat.

Cheng Lang turned around and picked up his mobile phone to answer the call: "Well, how should I say it?"

"good."

"Hard."

Cheng Lang hung up the phone and walked to Xu Qiao's side again: "Assistant Gao has released fake news."

"To your brother?"

Cheng Lang nodded and glanced at his watch: "Zhao Baoxing should be notified by now."

According to Cheng Lang's thinking: Since Zhao Baoxing and Cheng Ye asked for help, and Cheng Ye turned to him for help, then the head of the person who came to the door is not for nothing, so it is better to just follow the plan.

Of course, Cheng Lang would not disclose any information about Yuli, after all, whether the information is true or not, it may affect Xu Qiao's future career. So he chose to release false information about the owner behind the studio, himself.

Next, just wait for the fish to take the bait.

At noon the next day, Xu Qiao followed Zhao Baoxing's work blog @赵宝星Beryl and updated a Weibo during his lunch break.

The time is nine o'clock this morning, and the content of the text is very simple, just a sentence "the muse is with the sun at nine o'clock in the morning", and a photo is attached, which is what I saw from the rear window, rendered by the morning light passing street view.

There is a pretentious style in this literature and art, and it is indeed Zhao Baoxing's new personality on Weibo.

The original microblogs of shopping, eating, shopping, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, and buying have long been deleted by Zhao Qianjin with the self-confidence that "the Internet has no memory, and if I have memory, I dare not tear down my platform". With the newly certified Huang V "Jewelry Designer Zhao Baoxing", Zhao Qianjin seems to be a talented lady who is in the rising stage of her career.

Moreover, Zhao Baoxing understands marketing quite well. The personal photos posted on Weibo are rarely petty selfies. Most of them are taken by him attending certain events or gathering with some celebrities. He captures the pain point of ordinary netizens who are curious about the lives of celebrities. On this basis, it combines a girlish and literary narrative.

In addition, Zhao Baoxing's foundation is not bad, and with the move of a million-dollar picture retoucher, the appearance in the photo can be regarded as very capable. Therefore, although the number of fans and likes and comments are man-made, but under the praise of people from all walks of life in the upper class and successful marketing operations, it has indeed attracted many real fans, and it is already called an Internet celebrity.

Especially after the release of this debut work, which has been widely praised by the jewelry industry, the number of fans has doubled. A seemingly meaningless Weibo like today has received five-digit likes in the past half morning.

Wait, isn't this statistic a bit exaggerated

Xu Qiao looked at this Weibo carefully again, and finally found "Hua Dian"—this street scene looks familiar, isn't it the street near the business park where Berg Jewelry Studio is located? In the upper right corner of the photo, there is also a uniquely shaped office building, which seems to be a landmark building specially designed for people to see.

Looking at the comment section again, the first hot comment - "The case is solved, this is near Xinglin Bay in Beicheng, next to the Berg Jewelry Studio, Yuli probably, maybe, maybe really is our little star's vest!"

Below are many comments from jewelry lovers, such as "sisters with sharp eyes", "it turns out that the two jewelry designers I like are the same person, what is the fate of the gods", "no wonder Yuli's identity is a mystery" and so on.

Further down, some people directly said in a tone that Zhao Baoxing is Yuli: "No wonder Xingxing has been closed recently. It turned out to be in retreat to prepare for the London High Jewelry Show."

"Sister Zhao, I voted for your sapphire ring last time! I didn't know it was you when I voted!"

Xu Qiao scratched her chin, couldn't bear to look at these comments, then turned her head and sent a WeChat message to Cheng Lang: "Did the fish take the bait?"

Cheng Lang: "Well, the Zhao family contacted my people, and I asked them to express their intention to sell their stage name."

Xu Qiao: "I'm just thinking about it, she's so happy, when will she overturn the car, it's so annoying, I can't even eat lunch!"

Cheng Lang replied with a voice message: "I'll read it at night, and eat well at home, good boy."

"..." Chatting with this man, you never know which of his business-like words will be followed by sweet words.

Xu Qiao barely ate a few mouthfuls of lunch. When working in the afternoon, because she was thinking about eating melon at night, her efficiency was a bit low.

At 6:30 in the evening, she waited like a year for Cheng Lang's "beginning" message. She quickly put down her work and picked up her mobile phone to log in to Weibo.

On Weibo, a topic titled "Vancui Gunner" continued to rise on the hot search list.

Clicking on the topic, the hottest topic is a long Weibo post published by Liang Que’s own work blog @梁鹏Lora. The first sentence is simple and straightforward: “This is an apology statement. After Fancui Jewelry Company, he became the shooter of Zhao Baoxing’s designer, and I solemnly apologize to all colleagues in the same industry, the consumers who were deceived, and the general public.”

Immediately afterwards, Liang Que confessed the actual originator of the high-end jewelry series released by Fancui in January this year, as well as the relationship with Jinlu Jewelry, and revealed the robbery that Fancui used to coerce her after Jinlu went bankrupt. Let her live behind the scenes of another jewelry designer.

The final closing words are: "I'm sorry to take up network resources to solve this matter, I'm sorry, I was really driven to a dead end."

Liang Que was originally a well-known figure in the jewelry circle. This sincere apology statement, together with the photo evidence below about the step-by-step formation of the first draft, the first revised draft, and the second revised draft, as well as the additional comments in the comments, can prove that Fan Cui's "crime" recording content immediately ignited netizens.

Netizens may not be surprised that there are such black-hearted companies in the society, but they are shocked that this time the matter involves the well-known Fan Cui in the jewelry industry, as well as Fan Cui's newly promoted Internet celebrity daughter.

The number of retweets and comments on this long article surged rapidly in a short period of time. Some people scolded Fan Cui for having no bottom line and lower limit. He made suggestions and said that he would do everything in his power to support her.

Of course, there are also relatively calm netizens who feel that Liang Que is still "taking money to do things" in essence, and has done things that violate the industry and moral standards.

However, this kind of voice was quickly overshadowed by the reply "Can you still be virtuous if your life is not guaranteed, and you can stand and talk without back pain".

Under the endless debate among netizens, the hot search topic entered the top ten all the way.

Netizens who browsed Zhao Baoxing's Weibo soon discovered a new melon: This Ms. Zhao has another vest

A keen jewelry insider noticed something was wrong and commented on Liang Que's Weibo: "Since Zhao Baoxing's work was stolen from Liang Que, the news that Zhao Baoxing is Yuli is also false recently? Could it be that Liang Que is the real Yuli?" body?"

Liang Que specifically clarified and replied to this comment, saying that she is not Yuli.

Someone immediately came to a conclusion: "Then Zhao Baoxing is even more impossible!"

Many people who didn't know Hatachi at first followed the clues to search for the cause of the incident.

The attention of the public has been diverted. Someone discovered Zhao Baoxing's latest two Weibo posts, and discovered that she has always insisted on an ambiguous attitude of neither admitting nor denying whether she is Yu Li, but at the same time deliberately spreading some subtle information to guide netizens. Take the initiative to verify that she is Yu Li.

I haven't seen an Internet celebrity with such a strong green tea smell for many years!

This discovery quickly spread, and a topic called "Zhao Baoxing's impostor" came from behind, surpassing the popularity of "Vancui Gunner"—after all, within the scope of Weibo, Internet celebrity scandals may attract people who eat melons more than unscrupulous companies. .

Netizens rolled up their sleeves and flocked to Zhao Baoxing's Weibo, and soon discovered that Zhao Qianjin had deleted the latest two Weibos.

"Is the speed of this guilty conscience directly proportional to the thickness of the skin?" Someone exclaimed.

Xu Qiao was happy, eating melons with a big appetite, because Cheng Lang didn't arrive for a long time, she decided to go to the dining table to steal the dinner prepared by her aunt, just picked up a prawn, and heard a "click" from the entrance.

Xu Qiao maintained her terrified gesture, and looked at Cheng Lang with a "too bad I got caught".

Cheng Lang walked over with a smile: "You don't need to report for stealing food." He explained the reason for the late arrival, "The road is a bit congested. Tonight, the gymnasium is holding a charity party. Many celebrities have come, and there is a lot of traffic in the city center."

Xu Qiao said "Hey": "Then you didn't go to participate?"

"Isn't there someone waiting at home?"

"Charity is a big deal, why are you so careless?" Xu Qiao looked at him while eating shrimp.

"I asked Gott to go for me. Don't worry, the donation will be in place, okay?"

As he spoke, he turned on the TV in the living room with the remote control, and beckoned to her to come over to the sofa.

"What TV are you watching now?"

"Appetizer before dinner." Cheng Lang smiled, "The charity party is being broadcast live, and now it's Miss Zhao Baoxing's turn to appear."

Xu Qiao was stunned and said "wow": "Then it wasn't her who just deleted Weibo?"

"It should be the operation team, she may not know it yet."

Xu Qiao walked to the other side of the sofa eagerly, and sat down beside Cheng Lang.

On the TV screen, Zhao Baoxing walked across the red carpet in a fairy dress and was posing in front of the exhibition board. Looking at this dignified and decent posture, bathed in flashing lights, it is estimated that he has not received any news yet.

When she went through the scene, the screen turned to the interview channel, where the reporter friends with "big news" written all over their faces were looking forward to Zhao Baoxing's arrival.

In the camera, Zhao Baoxing walked into the passageway, and the reporters rushed over in an instant.

Zhao Baoxing smiled after being stunned. Looking at his expression, he seemed very satisfied with his recent rise in popularity.

It's just that she was just about to greet the reporters and the camera, when a reporter rushed to the front and asked loudly, "Miss Zhao Baoxing! What do you think of the two hot topics on Weibo at the moment about you and Fancui Jewelry?"

Zhao Baoxing was taken aback, but before he could answer, another reporter immediately asked, "Is the content of designer Liang Que's long Weibo post true? Did Fancui Jewelry really coerce designer Liang Que to act as a gunman for you? You And is it subjectively deliberately guiding the public opinion of netizens, pretending to be Miss Yuli, a rookie designer?"

Xu Qiao saw Zhao Baoxing shaking. Even the heavy makeup couldn't hide her rapid paleness.

Zhao Baoxing shook his head hurriedly: "No, this is a misunderstanding. Fan Cui has never done such a thing, and neither have I..." Just halfway through speaking, an assistant rushed over as if crossing the line of fire, and took her away from the reporter's encirclement ripped out.

Zhao Baoxing was dragged by the assistant and ran staggeringly. The high heel on his right foot flew out inadvertently, and a parabola fell far away.

She was about to pick it up, but the assistant looked back at the reporter who was following, and dragged her to the emergency exit.

"This IQ is basically farewell to whitewashing." Xu Qiao laughed and commented, "I don't know what's going on on the Internet, and if there is any conclusive evidence, I dare to deny it directly. Isn't that self-inflicted and worsening the situation!"

Recalling the scene of Zhao Baoxing just throwing off his high heels, Xu Qiao laughed till she burst into tears, and fell to the side with her stomach in her arms.

Cheng Lang subconsciously took it and put his arms around her shoulders.

She avoided it as if she had been electrocuted: "What are you doing?"

"You came here." Cheng Lang questioned, "I thought you needed it."

"..." He has the need! He is full of needs!

She gave him a small Xu Feidao with her eyes, and sat upright to continue watching TV.

On the screen, the camera cut back to the scene of the red carpet that had been quiet for years, and the next one was Wen Yue who didn't know that her good sister was in distress.

"Hey, Miss Wen!" Xu Qiao winked.

"Why?" Cheng Lang asked lightly.

"You've known each other for a long time." Xu Qiao shrugged, imitating Wen Yue's tone in the National Exhibition Center and said, "Cheng Lang, it's really you. Long time no see."

Cheng Lang was amused by her: "From that side to now, it's really a long time no see."

He seemed to be explaining something to her intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Qiao raised the old issue again: "Then I met her at Townsend's jewelry auction later, and it was because someone lost a bracelet to her."

Cheng Lang smiled helplessly, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, turned his head to look at her, and asked seriously: "If you still worry about this matter, can I compensate you?"

"No," Xu Qiao shook her head, "It's not rare now!"

"Then what do you care about now?" Cheng Lang turned to face her.

"I don't care to be a career-oriented strong woman!" Xu Qiao got up and walked to the easel in front of the French window, admiring the necklace design draft just completed today, nodded with satisfaction, remembered something, and looked at Cheng who seemed to be thinking about something Lang, "The design of the necklace is finished. I have to go and explain to Mr. Fei and Sister Luo Sha about the making. It just so happens that Zhao Baoxing's matter has also been resolved. I will move back to the studio tomorrow morning."

"Should I move back to the studio or the apartment?" Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows.

"Is there a difference? There is no threat on the studio side, and of course the apartment side is also safe."

Cheng Lang fell silent, his jaw tensed, and his expression was rare and solemn.

Xu Qiao looked at him from afar, feeling vaguely that something was about to happen.

After a while, Cheng Lang got up and walked towards her, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in low pressure: "Isn't it good here?"

Xu Qiao's momentum was cut in half: "I just want to return to normal work..."

"The studio is ready, of course you can go there, but wouldn't it be good to come back here after get off work?"

Xu Qiao looked at the man who was close at hand, her heart beat as fast as a drum.

She gathered herself together, and was about to say why she had a reason to continue living here, Cheng Lang seemed to have seen through her mind, lowered her head and said solemnly: "Being a strong woman in the jewelry industry outside, and being mine at home." Girlfriend, how are you?"
