"…"

For the first time in her life, Huo Qingyuan realized that she was actually so weak!

Looking at Yan Jinyi, she hesitated for a long time before saying in a hostile tone, "Hey, I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow."

"Treat me to a meal?"

Yan Jinyi was a little surprised.

Huo Qingyuan turned away and said in an especially arrogant tone, "Don't think too much about it. I still hate you very much, but I'm an impartial person. You've helped me this time."

She was young but hot-tempered.

However, Yan Jinyi really didn't come back for Huo Qingyuan this time.

"Huo Zihang, did the PR staff of your company all grow up eating garbage?"

Huo Zihang, who was called out of nowhere, was confused.

'What...'

'I came back specifically to see if you were bullied, and you actually called my company's staff garbage eaters?'

"Answer me."

"The PR staff of TG Entertainment were directly transferred from the headquarters of Huo Group. How can they be useless?"

Yan Jinyi picked up Huo Zihang's phone and smashed it on the ground. "I've been getting slammed frequently in the past few days, but the PR staff did not do anything. If they're a bunch of wastrels who won't work, they should get lost!"

Today, she made it to the hot search list again because of Zhuang Heng, though she was at the bottom of the list.

The hot search was about her landing herself the role of the female lead through underhanded means and pulling connections with a rich investor. They even accused her of trying to seduce Zhuang Heng.

'Damn it, who was the one who was doing the seduction?'

'Why would I be attracted to that fool?'

When they were wrapping up, Tao Wei came to ask her why the PR staff of TG Entertainment hadn't come forth to help her clarify and deny the scandalous rumors the past few times.

It was only then that Yan Jinyi realized that there was something known as public relations.

Huo Zihang looked at his newly purchased cellphone that had been smashed onto the ground, feeling an immense heartache. He thought, 'If you're angry, smash your own cell phone instead!'

'Why did you smash mine?'

"Go out and tell those wastrels that I'll break their legs before kicking them out if they're still going to do nothing about this!"

She then turned around and headed upstairs without looking back.

Huo Zihang froze in place.

Huo Qingyuan frowned as she watched Yan Jinyi's back disappear from sight. She then said, "Third Brother, I remember you called the head of the PR department before."

Bewilderment was written all over Huo Zihang's face. "Huh?"

"You told them to ignore all rumors and scandals that Yan Jinyi is involved in."

Huo Zihang's handsome face grew sullen.

'Damn it!'

'Was there something wrong with my brain then!?'

Huo Qingyuan sincerely wanted to treat Yan Jinyi to a meal this time, but mainly, she wanted to test her and find out what else she was hiding.

'How could a detestable woman, who had always been obedient, timid, and mild-mannered since she was a child, suddenly change so drastically in a short while?'

'This doesn't make sense at all!'

The only explanation was that Yan Jinyi was too good at acting and had hidden it from everyone.

After going to the beauty salon to have a spa treatment and meeting some other wealthy heiresses to splurge during a shopping spree at the mall, Huo Qingyuan slowly walked back to the mall. There was less than half an hour left before the appointment time.

Walking alone in the spacious underground parking lot that was rather empty, Huo Qingyuan felt a chill down her spine.

As soon as she reached her car and was about to open the door, a hand was pressed against her mouth.

A thought popped up in her mind at the very last moment before she lost consciousness.

'Once Yan Jinyi finds out who the kidnapper is, they must die!'

When Yan Jinyi arrived at the restaurant that Huo Qingyuan had made a reservation in, Huo Zihang was already seated obediently and waiting for them.

"Are you alone?"

"Women are just troublesome. Huo Qingyuan went to the beauty salon."

Yan Jinyi nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "She's brainless. No matter how pretty she makes herself look, she's still a dimwit."

Huo Zihang fell silent, somehow feeling a little attacked.

After all, he had achieved a terrible score of 59.5 for Language when he was in school.

'Ah, how infuriating!'

"Call her. I'm very busy and I don't have much time to spare."

Yan Jinyi ordered with one leg crossed over the other in a roguish manner.
