Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 320 Do you like the boss? (6k views, please subscribe)

When Li Qiuwen heard Chen Xiaoyu say that, she stared at Chen Xiaoyu in utter astonishment.

Her surprise was genuine, not at all pretentious, and was a true expression of her own emotions. She couldn't believe that someone could be so stupid as to actually plan to sue their own boss.

Even risking my innocence to go to court... Do they really think I'm that stupid?
Even without the boss's reminder, would I really let myself be manipulated?

At this moment, Li Qiuwen fell into deep doubt, and she began to wonder if these people's thought processes were abnormal.

Li Qiuwen fell into deep thought with a look of surprise. She was questioning the intelligence of this group of people, but Yao Xinjie and Chen Xiaoyu clearly misunderstood her, thinking that Li Qiuwen was afraid, had not expected it, or was even a little scared.

So Chen Xiaoyu continued to urge Li Qiuwen, saying, "Hey, Qiuwen, you don't need to be afraid. As long as you bravely stand up, even if our boss is powerful, he can't withstand it. There's no way to disprove this kind of thing, and besides, you've had close contact with the boss. We're sure to win."

Li Qiuwen thought to herself, "What a load of rubbish! The boss knew all your tricks from the very beginning. You think you can outsmart the boss with your limited skills?"

At this moment, what Lü Yao had once analyzed with Li Qiuwen began to surface in Li Qiuwen's mind: "When they come to you in a while and ask you to take the lead, just refuse directly."

At the time, Li Qiuwen did not understand.

If I refuse, how can these people possibly get me involved in their schemes?

Later, Li Qiuwen saw Lü Yao confidently smile and say, "They've all started trying to instigate you to take the lead, which means they've been itching to do it for a long time. So the more you refuse, the more they'll think you're having an affair with me. Once they're sure of that, they'll use you as their trump card."

"After you refuse me several times, they will find a way to frame me and win you over."

Will things really develop this way?

Li Qiuwen felt a strange sense of anticipation, wanting to see how the group would perform, so she immediately and somewhat flusteredly refused, "This isn't right... Even if we win, I'll expose it. I don't want to! I... I have things to do."

After saying that, Li Qiuwen immediately got up and rushed out of the dressing room as if she were escaping.

Watching Li Qiuwen flee in a panic, Yao Xinjie and his wife exchanged a glance, then looked at the girls behind them, and all of them simultaneously revealed a playful smile.

They genuinely believed that Li Qiuwen and Lü Yao were having an affair.

However, this is not particularly surprising. What man doesn't like women? Even if a woman is of average appearance, many men will actively flirt with a woman they haven't been with.

Not to mention beauties of Li Qiuwen's caliber.

The boss of their MCN company was a hot-blooded young man with a lot of scandals. Such a man is not easily tempted, so Yao Xinjie and his wife, along with the internet celebrities around them who wanted to leave the MCN company, had no doubt about Li Qiuwen's demeanor.

The problem now is that Li Qiuwen doesn't seem to want to make a big fuss about this, and she certainly doesn't want to be in the spotlight.

then what should we do?

The company's dressing room is not monitored because many girls change clothes there, allowing this group to discuss countermeasures without restraint.

After a long while, Yao Xinjie had a flash of inspiration, and then said confidently, "I have a plan. Let's discuss it tonight."

……

Late at night, Li Qiuwen would check her phone every now and then.

After rejecting Yao Xinjie and Chen Xiaoyu's proposal at the company during the day, Li Qiuwen informed Lü Yao before work that Yao Xinjie and his wife had come to see her. Lü Yao did not give any special instructions after receiving the information, but simply told Li Qiuwen to avoid the couple for the next two days.

They also said that the couple would definitely reveal their true colors in the next couple of days.

Li Qiuwen was actually quite skeptical of Lü Yao's claims. She thought that even the most foolish person couldn't be this stupid. Without her support, they were slandering others.

The person being slandered is someone like Lü Yao.

Nowadays, their boss has a very high status in the Shangnan business circle. He can chat and laugh with many important figures. Even in the Shangnan officialdom, there are quite a few people who are familiar with their boss.

How did Yao Xinjie and his wife come up with the idea of ​​using false accusations?

Li Qiuwen didn't understand.

Amidst a mix of doubt, anxiety, and tension, Li Qiuwen kept this matter on her mind. Unfortunately, she waited until late at night without receiving any messages from Yao Xinjie or Chen Xiaoyu. Just when Li Qiuwen thought they wouldn't contact her today, a message suddenly popped up on her phone.

She was added to a chat group.

Li Qiuwen immediately sobered up, and even became somewhat agitated.

But instead of immediately responding, she sent a message directly to Lü Yao: "Boss, I have some important progress on my end. Could you take a look? I'm afraid there might be some mistakes if I don't reply in time."

Li Qiuwen didn't reveal what was going on, just to pique Lü Yao's interest and hope he would come and offer her some advice.

But Lü Yao replied: "You can handle it yourself. I trust your abilities."

He had already told Li Qiuwen so many key points, so as long as things went smoothly, there shouldn't be any problems.

But Li Qiuwen continued to send messages saying, "But this is my first time doing this, and it concerns your reputation, boss. I'm really afraid I won't handle it well."

Lü Yao understood now.

Li Qiuwen just wants to spend some time alone with me. Who said this girl is naive?
He had already taken a shower, changed into his pajamas, and was lying in bed at home, but Li Qiuwen had already said so much, what could Lü Yao say?
So Lü Yao got up and changed his clothes.

Currently, Lü Yao, Jian Xiaojie, Wang Shu, and the group of nannies and medical team are staying in a villa arranged by Jian Xiaojie. This villa is detached and has three floors with large rooms and spaces. However, Lü Yao, Wang Shu, and Jian Xiaojie are all staying on the second floor, so any movement on Lü Yao's side immediately attracts the attention of Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie on the other side.

Wang Shu didn't actually care where Lü Yao went late at night, because she knew that Lü Yao had a lot of things to deal with, both public and private. A good woman would take care of a man's dignity, so unless Lü Yao asked for permission himself, Wang Shu wouldn't interfere.

Jian Xiaojie usually wouldn't ask, but her sixth sense as a woman was too strong. Lü Yao was wearing casual clothes like a T-shirt and jeans tonight, so Jian Xiaojie tilted her head and asked, "Going out on a date so late at night?"

Lü Yao picked up his car keys and walked outside: "Yeah."

After saying that, he waved and left without looking back.

Jian Xiaojie frowned slightly at his carefree and unrestrained demeanor, then tilted her head to look at Wang Shu: "Sister Shu, I'm not one to stir up trouble, but isn't Lü Yao a bit too arrogant? Look at him!"

The two of them were playing chess when they heard Jian Xiaojie say that. Wang Shu propped her head up with one hand and smiled faintly, saying, "Isn't this just stirring up trouble? You're practically writing your gossip on your face."

Jian Xiaojie crossed her arms, revealing a surprisingly voluptuous figure beneath her loose pajamas: "Wow, aren't you too trusting and spoiling that guy Lü Yao?"

Wang Shu laughed and said, "Don't you understand what kind of person he is? He looks young, but he's actually very shrewd. However, he's very self-aware."

Even if Lü Yao did go on a date, it was definitely not a random one.

As Wang Shu spoke, he suddenly looked at Jian Xiaojie with a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Actually, you're a little jealous, aren't you? Your relationship with Lü Yao has been a little... a little off lately."

Since becoming pregnant, Wang Shu has had more time and space to observe from the sidelines.

Then she noticed that Jian Xiaojie's behavior towards Lü Yao was a bit off. Although Jian Xiaojie and Lü Yao often bickered and argued, to outsiders they seemed like best friends who would tease each other all the time.

But Wang Shu has known Jian Xiaojie for so many years, and she knows Jian Xiaojie very well.

Wang Shu had never seen Jian Xiaojie act and behave like this before.

What does this feel like?

In junior high, the boy sitting in the back seat always liked to pull the girl in front of him's pigtails, poke her back with a pencil, or always contradict her... These seemingly annoying behaviors were actually ways for teenagers to express their love when they were young and confused.

They try to attract the attention of their admirers in the clumsiest and most annoying ways.

Jian Xiaojie's current attitude towards Lü Yao is like that of a primary school student.

childish.

But it's also very cute.

Wang Shu rested his chin on his hand and looked at Jian Xiaojie, asking directly, "Actually, you've fallen for Lü Yao, haven't you?"

A flicker of panic crossed Jian Xiaojie's eyes, but she quickly composed herself and nonchalantly joked, "There's a difference between liking someone and actually liking them, you know. Which one are you talking about?"

Wang Shu laughed and said, "Not denying it means you agree."

Jian Xiaojie rolled her eyes: "Tch, a man of that age is just a polite way of rejecting me. I can handle him in a minute. How could you even ask such a question?"

As she spoke, Jian Xiaojie seemingly casually raised her arm and scattered all the chess pieces on the board: "Oh dear, I'm tired. You should rest early too, you're not alone now."

Wang Shu laughed speechlessly: "I'm almost winning."

Jian Xiaojie got up and went back to her room: "What do you mean you're about to win? I was the one letting you win because I was afraid it would upset you and affect your mood~~"

……

After getting into his car and driving out of the villa area, Lü Yao texted Cheng Xinyu: "Where are you? I'll come pick you up." Cheng Xinyu replied instantly: "Ah~~ What are the boss's instructions for tonight?"

Laughing, Lü Yao replied via voice input: "Li Qiuwen is looking for me. That group of people has made a move."

This voice input software was also developed by Wang Shan's team. Voice recognition input and translation are also important tasks in the field of AI.

Cheng Xinyu replied, "What do you need me to do for this?"

Lü Yao: "A gentleman does not stay in a dark room."

Cheng Xinyu understood.

So when Lü Yao arrived at the parking lot downstairs from Cheng Xinyu's house, Cheng Xinyu had already changed into a smart office lady dress, with a small action camera clipped to her collar.

This equipment is a product developed by Wang Yushu's Huanxie Technology. The product itself is very compact and can meet the needs of daily shooting. It is currently being promoted and used as a medium through the Douyin platform. Many people who aspire to work in the internet industry can use this product to enter the short video field more conveniently, easily and quickly.

Meanwhile, the editing software for these shooting devices is also under active development by MagicTech.

This compact and lightweight product, supported by editing software, has received widespread praise from netizens, which has also boosted the valuation of Huanxie Technology.

Looking at Cheng Xinyu's gear, Lü Yao smiled and said, "Let's go."

Shangnan is neither too big nor too small.

However, there are basically no cars on the road after midnight.

So Lü Yao quickly arrived near Li Qiuwen's residential area. Before getting out of the car, Lü Yao asked Cheng Xinyu to turn on the action camera on her collar before letting Li Qiuwen come downstairs.

When Li Qiuwen saw that Cheng Xinyu was with Lü Yao, the anticipation and excitement on her face, which had been carefully dressed up, melted away as quickly as snow meeting the blazing sun.

Seeing Li Qiuwen's performance, Cheng Xinyu couldn't help but chuckle to herself. After Lü Yao greeted Li Qiuwen, Cheng Xinyu greeted her with a smile, "Qiuwen, you look so beautiful tonight."

Li Qiuwen was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Lü Yao laughed and said, "Alright, let's find a place to talk."

Shangnan has many private bars that are relatively discreet and business-like. Lü Yao took two girls to a private room in such a bar. The private room was an elegantly designed, understated yet luxurious living room-style room.

After ordering some food and drinks, Lü Yao asked, "What's the progress on your end?"

Li Qiuwen immediately handed her phone to Lü Yao. It showed a WeChat group chat created by Yao Xinjie and his wife. Besides Yao Xinjie and his wife, there were five or six other people in the group, most of whom were women.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Due to the reality of a gender imbalance with more men than women in China, and the traditional feudal ethics of Dongda University, a situation of "too many wolves and too little meat" and "too many monks and too little porridge" has emerged. Naturally, those who are constantly hungry will experience extreme hunger.

Otherwise, how could a blogger who became famous online actually kneel down and throw away a woman who was subject to the "Fu Yang Law"?
If even top streamers are like this, then what about ordinary people?

So much so that deliberately causing trouble during arranged marriages and then not returning the betrothal gifts after the wedding became "commonplace".

This situation not only led to distorted and warped views on marriage, but also fueled the booming development of the live streaming and short video industries in China. It can be said that beautiful women have made up a large part of the internet landscape, both domestically and globally.

MCN companies are never short of beautiful women of all types.

The majority of employees at Lü Yao's MCN company are women. There are only about 30 bloggers with more than 2 million followers across the entire internet in Lü Yao's company, but there are five or six of them in this internet celebrity couple's group chat.

Goodness, almost a fifth of the top talents in my MCN company are here.

They're quite rebellious.

Lu Yao started screen recording, showing all the relevant information about these people, as well as Li Qiuwen's previous chat history, in the video. Then he handed the phone back to Li Qiuwen and said, "Why haven't you chatted since you joined the group? Talk to them and see what they think."

Li Qiuwen nodded: "Okay."

Before chatting in the group, Li Qiuwen checked the messages and found that everyone was complaining about how shady the boss's MCN company was, saying things like they were the ones putting in the most screen time and effort, but the company still pocketed 40% of the profits.

They even said that they would become famous sooner or later even without a company, and in short, the desire to go solo was very strong in the group.

After quickly scanning the group chat, Li Qiuwen sent a message saying, "Why were you added to this group?"

Yao Xinjie and Chen Xiaoyu immediately jumped in and sent a message in the group: "Hey Qiuwen, didn't you say you didn't want to show up during the day? But we've come up with a solution for you. How about this? We don't need you to personally appear when we sue the boss. We've found someone else to do it. You just need to help respond and show some evidence."

Li Qiuwen was disgusted.

Did they find someone else to handle it?

Who was asked to intervene?
Is it someone from the group?

Li Qiuwen did not reply to the message, but instead looked up at Lü Yao and Cheng Xinyu.

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Let's see what they have to say. You don't need to say anything."

Li Qiuwen remained silent, while the others in the group began to work together to persuade her.

One of the Nai Lezi said, "Qiu Wen, aren't you angry? You're so outstanding and hardworking, yet you get nothing in return. After all you've given so much, it's only right that we spend millions or tens of millions to make you famous."

Shangnan Little Dessert: "That's right, there's no way I could swallow this."

Miss Biluo: "We're clearly the ones making the most money in our company. Everyone else is just helping out. Why should they take so much of the profits? We'll definitely be able to do better if we start our own media company! Qiuwen, you'll come with us then, and we'll definitely help you build your account and become a sensation."

Looking at the lively discussion in the group, Li Qiuwen really felt that these people were either stupid, evil, or both.

Li Qiuwen held her forehead and sighed, "With their brains, how can they think that their current achievements on the internet are due to their own hard work?"

"Do they really have no self-awareness at all? They actually came up with the idea of ​​having someone else take the lead and falsely accuse someone. Are these people crazy?"

are you crazy?
Lü Yao, however, did not think so.

If their target wasn't Lü Yao, but some other boss with relatively weak connections, or even just an ordinary person... then the person being falsely accused would truly have no recourse.

The key point is that this group's actions will have a very bad "role model effect".

Therefore, what may seem like a simple false accusation could lead to the very thing that these people are allowed to succeed, or even if they are exposed, they would only have to pay a small price. This would damage the long-term social atmosphere.

Therefore, Lü Yao sighed, "So it is said that human nature can only be used for its subtle aspects, not its grand aspects; but no matter how hard those bad people, villains and wicked people rack their brains, they are no match for the quick thinking of these fools."

Cheng Xinyu took a deep breath and sighed, "Yes, sometimes the mess a fool can make is much bigger than the mess a scheming bad person can make."

After saying that, Cheng Xinyu looked at Li Qiuwen and said, "It's fortunate that our boss was vigilant this time. If you had really been used as a pawn by those idiots, you would never have been able to turn your life around. From now on, whether in the workplace or in life, you should remember that you should be more wary of the idiots around you than those who compete with you and try to harm you."

The key point is that when these idiots make mistakes and get caught and beaten, they will innocently say that they didn't have any bad intentions, they just did some wrong things.

Or, "It's just this and that, why are you making such a fuss?"

Such idiots are the most infuriating.

Lu Yao said to Li Qiuwen, "You said in the group that you really don't want me to come forward? Then tell me when you need evidence, and I'll give it to you then."

This vigilance, on the contrary, greatly increases Li Qiuwen's credibility within their camp.

Yao Xinjie sent a message in the group: "Alright then, once this is done, we'll all be in the same boat. We must unite, or we'll all suffer a terrible fate."

Everyone in the group agreed.

Then there was no further activity in the group.

After the group chat ended, Lü Yao took out his phone and said, "Send me the screen recording of the group chat."

After the video transmission was complete, Lü Yao stood up and said, "I've already paid the bill here. You can all play around here as you like, just put it on my tab. I have something to do, so I'll head back now."

Li Qiuwen pursed her lips, forced a smile, and replied, "Yeah, boss, drive carefully."

Lü Yao waved and left.

When Li Qiuwen reluctantly turned back, she found Cheng Xinyu sitting next to her staring at her with a strange smile.

Li Qiuwen felt a sudden panic: "W-what's wrong?"

Cheng Xinyu leaned closer, tilted her head, and asked, "Qiuwen, tell me honestly, do you like the boss?"
