Chapter 132 - 132: Retribution Begins, Qjngqing Is Furious! (2)
“Do I really need to teach you how to handle such trivial matters?” Zuo Xianyu suppressed her rising anger. “Take down from the trending, hire trolls to suppress comments. Is our PR department dead?”
The Zuo Corporation was a publicly traded company; every move it made was closely watched.
Negative news like this would only serve to destabilize its stock, offering no benefits whatsoever.
The assistant manager hesitated, ‘Miss Zuo, the people involved are all from the affluent area. They don’t care about money, so it’s hard to suppress this.”
“Even if it’s hard, suppress it anyway,” Zuo Xianyu took a deep breath.
“Information flows too quickly online; they’ll forget about it in a few days.
Stabilize the company’s stock for now.”
The assistant manager quickly acknowledged and took action.
Zuo Xianyu’s brows furrowed tightly as she checked the Zuo Corporation’s stock performance, growing angrier with each moment that passed.
Si Fuqing truly was an ingrate.
She only remembered the wrongs done to her and felt no gratitude for the thirteen years she had been under the Zuo family’s care.
Thinking back to how Si Fuqing had slapped her to the ground yesterday, Zuo Xianyu’s eyes grew cold.
She sent a few more messages to other department managers before she sat back down.
Beside her, Zuo Qingya patted her chest, visibly anxious. “Second sister, I feel so uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen.”
She had not slept well the entire previous night, plagued by nightmares.
When she woke up she felt extremely jittery.
She had even visited the hospital early in the morning but found nothing wrong.
Zuo Qingya reluctantly moved to the dining table.
Just as she took an empty bowl, preparing to ask the servant to serve her some soup into it, she heard a sharp “crack”—the bowl in her hand suddenly split open.
Startled, Zuo Qingya let out a shrill scream and stood up abruptly.
“What are you doing?” Zuo Xianyu had lost her patience. “Can’t you even hold a bowl properly?”
Feeling wronged and scared, Zuo Qingya spoke, “It’s really not my fault. How could I possibly have the strength to break a bowl like that? Second sister, do you think I’ve been cursed by something bad?”
“That’s preposterous!” Zuo Xianyu said coldly. “Sit down. Butler, bring another bowl. ”
The butler quickly brought a new bowl, which Zuo Qingya carefully accepted.
This time, the bowl remained intact, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
During the meal, Zuo Xianyu answered several business-related calls. They finally finished eating around one o’clock.
Zuo Qingya looked at her half in admiration, half in envy. “Second sister, you’re amazing. I don’t even understand half of what you’re talking about.”
Everyone said that Zuo Tianfeng had a gifted daughter. Zuo Xianyu’s business acumen was extraordinary, on par with heirs from the most prominent families in Sijiu.
“You’ll get it with more practice,” Zuo Xianyu said, gathering her belongings. “I’m off to the office. Take care of yourself and try not to end up in the hospital.”
Feeling a bit anxious, Zuo Qingya nodded, trying to calm herself down.
Today was Saturday, and the fourth episode of “Youth With You” officially went online.
Although the viewership was slightly lower than the previous episode, the public performance, it still dominated among various reality shows.
[I knew it, the first place belongs to Brother Xie. I almost died from voting so much.]
[Folks, I suspect the vote count isn’t accurate. Could they be suppressing votes backstage? No matter how I calculate it, Brother Xie should have a lot more votes than Lu Yan. How can the difference be so minimal?]
[Oh my God, are you serious?]
[LOL, if that’s true, it just proves how useless Lu Yan is. Even with suppressed votes, Brother Xie still takes the top spot. Brother Xie is an eternal god!]
After watching the latest episode, Yu Tang felt thoroughly satisfied. “Qingqing, how about we go out for hotpot? As a late-night snack.”
Si Fuqing replied, “Sure, but I want the spicy one!”
“Me too, me too,” Yu Tang was elated. “Uncle Nine isn’t here today; we can go wild! ”
“Still, we should be careful. Girls should always be cautious when outside,” Si Fuqing paused. ‘Wait a moment; I have something for you.”
She turned and went into her room. Half a minute later, she returned, handing over a delicate sachet. “Here, keep this safe.”
“No problem,” Yu Tang wouldn’t reject anything from her idol. She placed the sachet in her wallet. “What’s inside?”
Si Fuqing tilted her head. “I drew a safety talisman. It can protect you in crucial moments.”
While she called it a safety talisman, it was actually a piece of paper imbued with the powers of Yin and Yang, a signature of a Master of Yin-yang..
