Chapter 173: Suspected Official Announcement
The following day, the birthday banquet of Xie's grandson became a trending topic on social media.

There were no photos of the two children online, but the children's clothing and formal wear designed by Muchan attracted a lot of attention, and Muchan's live broadcast room suddenly gained more than one million fans.

The various discussion threads are filled with images of Mu Chan's trendy Chinese-style children's clothing designs, and the topics are incredibly diverse, with all sorts of opinions being expressed:

[The niche brand Muchan has surprisingly secured the contract for the birthday party attire for the heir of the Xie family tycoon. They've won big!]

[Rumor has it that over a dozen international trendy children's clothing brands were vying for the offer to dress for Xie Yunxi, the heir to the Xie family's birthday banquet, but he reportedly didn't take any of them seriously!]

[What incredible luck Mu Chan has had this year! First, there was the three-centimeter stitching incident involving actress Sena at the film festival, then the stunningly beautiful spokesperson who still drives countless women crazy, and now they've quietly secured the contract for the birthday banquet of the Xie family's grandson. This is the start of a major leap forward! Those top-tier Chinese style brands should be panicking.]

I wonder if Muchan will do a feature interview with them. I'm really curious about their rise to fame. I've seen their evening gowns, and they are indeed very beautiful.

[Holy crap! I rushed to the official Weibo account of Muchan and saw a few horrific comments. Everyone who saw them went crazy!]

……

Shanshan is in charge of maintaining the official Weibo account of Muchan.

As soon as Shanshan opened the official Weibo account this morning, several amazing comments with over a million likes were prominently displayed on the homepage. She only glanced at them before jumping up: "Ahhh! I just posted a nine-grid photo of myself in a dress yesterday, and I already got likes and comments today!"

"It's just a comment, haven't you seen it before? Is it worth making a fuss about?" Ayla buried herself in her design as soon as she arrived and didn't pay much attention. "Although Muchan is small, its official Weibo account still has a few enthusiastic and active fans."

"But these aren't ordinary fans. They're Xie Yuheng, chairman of the Hong Kong Xie family, and Xie Yunxi, CEO, and Yan Changye, the heir of the Beijing Yan family group. I checked, and they're all officially verified!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a whole bunch of people from the studio swarmed over!

Jiang Rong arrived late, just in time to hear Shan Shan's last words. He knew a few things about the situation. During his time with Jiang Manman, he had seen not only the jealous young master, but also the heartbroken Xie Yuheng twice. He remained relatively calm at this moment.
"It's no big deal. With a wife as outstanding as her, it's perfectly normal for her to have one or two domineering CEO fans."

“But the comments section is acting strange…” Shan Shan’s voice trembled.

Jiang Rong responded with an "Oh," and then asked, "How abnormal is it?"

After saying that, he also moved closer to Shanshan's computer, and the next moment, he and the others were stunned.

Shanshan's latest post was just a daily update: a nine-grid photo of her in an evening gown, captioned:
[Muchan's new August dress collection is now available! Guess which ones were personally designed by our boss. A little star will be awarded for correct guesses!]

Three comments garnered a million likes in just two hours, leaving others far behind:
Xie Yuheng, Chairman of the Xie Group: [The first design (her favorite iris embroidery), the third design (I've seen the design draft), and the sixth design (which incorporates her five favorite elements from the Classic of Mountains and Seas)]

Xie Yunxi, CEO of the Xie Group: [1, 3, 6, I don't want the little stars, can I get your boss as a reward instead? [smile.jpg]]

Yan Changye, Chairman of Yanjing Group: [A reward for the boss? I want one too!]

The three comments have already garnered tens of thousands of replies, attracting a growing number of onlookers and indirectly causing a surge in followers for Mu Chan's Douyin account and her endorsement photos.

Shan Shan swallowed hard: "I just checked. These three big shots all just started following Mu Chan. First it was Xie Yuheng, and less than two minutes later, Xie Yunxi and Yan Changye also followed. This is their only private comment on their official Weibo account; the rest are all kinds of project posts that we can't understand."

Jiang Rong made a decisive decision: "Madam will be back soon. Let's wait until she gets back before we make any more moves. Let's not mess around. Let's not post on the official Weibo account for the next couple of days. As for live streams, I'll also take a break. Getting involved with these big shots is bound to lead to more mistakes."

After saying that, he quickly took a screenshot of the official Weibo post and forwarded it to Jiang Manman.

At Yushui Bay, Jiang Manman and Xie Yunxi were still in bed. She lay on Xie Yunxi's lap, scrolling through the messages Jiang Rong had sent. She glanced at them and said, somewhat speechless, "You two planned this? Both of you are paying attention to Mu Chan at the same time, as if you're afraid Mu Chan doesn't have enough scandals already?"

Since her birthday party, Mu Chan has been thrust into the spotlight of the fashion world. Before she knew it, the men in her family had started causing trouble, and they even took the time to do some role-playing on Weibo.

Before this, both Xie Yuheng and Xie Yunxi had followed Mu Chan using alternate accounts. They weren't particularly active, but every comment Mu Chan made related to her was liked by their alternate accounts.

This is the first time I've used a large account to both like and comment at the same time.

“Some things don’t need to be discussed.” Xie Yunxi opened his pajamas and held her tightly in his arms. His hands were restless, but his tone was serious. “Mu Chan’s current situation seems to have a bright future, but in reality, it is surrounded by wolves. If there are no strong deterrent measures, it will be suppressed by its competitors and disappear from the market within three months.”

Jiang Manman didn't know much about this.

Seeing that she was listening attentively, Xie Yunxi said a few more words: "So, Xie Yuheng used his official account to comment, so that those rivals who have designs on Mu Chan would know that there is someone behind Mu Chan."

"One Xie Yuheng wasn't enough to intimidate you, so you went in too?"

"No, that's not it." Xie Yunxi gave a soft "oh". "I had the same idea, but I was too engrossed in my wife's company this morning, and she beat me to it. I admit, I'm a little jealous. As the legal wife, it wouldn't be appropriate to remain silent at this time."

"..."

"One Xie Yunxi can't suppress Xie Yuheng's chairman aura. How can I stand this humiliation? I might as well speak up in both capacities at the same time."

Jiang Manman glanced at him: "If you're going to speak, then speak. Why are you being so ambiguous?"

“Madam,” Xie Yunxi sighed, “we’ve been together for six years. We can’t keep our marriage a secret forever. I think it’s necessary to give some indication first.”

Jiang Manman: "It's not exactly a completely secret marriage. All six super families know about it, and all your cronies have met it."

"Wife, you probably can't understand the sense of loss I feel when I can only subtly share our affection in my private WeChat Moments..."

Jiang Manman remained silent. His WeChat Moments were updated almost four or five times a week, and every single one of them was related to her. Nine out of ten posts were ambiguous, and she watched as this scoundrel seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, while she felt utterly disappointed.

Oh well, he's always been like this, let him be.

Jiang Manman stopped paying attention to the matter and started browsing other trending topics related to the birthday party.

Besides Mu Chan, the official Weibo account of the Xie Group also posted a birthday greeting. Various wealthy families left comments offering their blessings, including one from the official Weibo account of the scoundrel Yan Changye:
Yan Changye, Chairman of Yanjing Group: [The baby is another year older, so cute!]

What's even more despicable is that he then used Xie Yunxi's account to reply to his own comment:
Xie Yunxi, CEO of the Xie Group: [Chairman Yan, your son is also very cute. [A knowing smile.jpg]]

On the third floor, there were several inscrutable expressions on the face of Murong Xin, the eldest daughter of the Murong conglomerate.

This young lady still remembered Xie Yunxi's words at the birthday banquet, "I not only played with Yan Changye's wife, but also the biological father of Manman and Yan Changye's child." She directly sent a screenshot of Yan Changye and Xie Yunxi's Weibo comments to Jiang Manman, followed by a series of vivid and enigmatic emojis.

Jiang Manman felt guilty and dared not reply.
