By choosing a day when Chi Li was away, Chen Anyan used the foolish Chen Hao to put on a flawless performance, and then coordinated with various parties to create a sensational story of a beautiful, strong, and tragic character, which was easily crushed.
Now, apart from his die-hard fans, probably very few people pay attention to him anymore.
Xie Weishui roughly understood his meaning, and thus made no attempt to hide her schadenfreude. "What? Are you going to follow in my footsteps and target Chi Li?"
"I did think about it," Chen Anyan said, arms crossed, a half-smile playing on his lips. "But seeing your current state, I changed my mind."
He does have some brains after all.
Xie Weishui: "..."
Xie Weishui rolled her eyes at him. "So you called me out just to find some psychological balance?"
He had just been thinking about how to refuse if Chen Anyan asked him to conspire to frame Chi Li.
He had finally managed to improve his image, and he didn't want to ruin it all again.
I never expected this kid to be such a coward.
... Although being a coward is probably the right thing to do.
"Yes." Chen Anyan looked up at the gray sky in the distance, "Without you, I probably wouldn't have been able to recover properly."
In the past, because of his unappealing personality, he missed opportunities despite having the ability. His teacher always comforted him, saying that gold will always shine, and that he was a pearl covered in dust.
Later, he began to observe how others spoke, and painstakingly studied it frame by frame, finally giving his dusty pearl a chance to shine.
But now he understands that when dawn breaks and the sun rises, no matter how hard the pearl tries to shine, it will be useless.
"Then pay me some compensation for the humiliation," Xie Weishui snorted heavily.
Chen Anyan ignored this and sighed softly, "If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come."
Xie Weishui: "Don't be ungrateful. At least you have a partner to rely on."
"... Ha." Thinking of Jiang Lele, Chen Anyan chuckled helplessly. "I initially chose him because he was easy to fool, but now he's getting increasingly shrewd..."
It's all thanks to Chi Li's excellent teaching.
"Wait until Chi Li leaves before you start plotting anything," Xie Weishui scoffed.
Chen Anyan was silent for two seconds. "... Then could we send him away as soon as possible?"
Xie Weishui: "It's probably impossible for him to leave completely for the time being, but he'll be going out to work more and more often. Just wait and see."
"We're like those... in the palace, hoping that the most favored concubine will be sent away for a political marriage so that the emperor will have a chance to see his lowly concubine..." Chen Anyan used an analogy.
Xie Weishui: "... Let's go back. If we stay together too long, the Emperor might try to arrange a marriage between us."
Chen Anyan: "."
After hurriedly comforting Chi Li Jiang Lele did after leaving the room was to send a message to Shen Xunye.
You deserve to die! [Angry]
It's unbelievable that when Chi Li misses someone, she can't find them!
After finishing, he trudged downstairs to throw away the trash from the takeout order, only to bump into Chen Hao.
Chen Hao wore a malicious smile. "Isn't Chi Li coming out yet? I'd like to interview him."
During a break from interviewing Wei Xuan, he went online for a while, and now he can't wait to get close to Chi Li and unleash his full power.
Jiang Lele raised her completely intimidating fist expressionlessly. "I think you want to be a panda."
Chen Hao: "..."
What does that mean?
[After watching for a few days, I've realized that Chen Hao is a complete clown... [laughing and crying emoji] He really wears his intentions on his sleeve to attract attention.]
[Well... a bit stupid, and a bit wicked, I guess.]
[He seems to have a strong sense of superiority in front of the regular guests, but we don't know where that sense of superiority comes from...]
[His interviews all had a strange, subtle humor to them...]
My suggestion is to practice some more.
[Speaking of which, all the rumors have been clarified, why hasn't my wife come out yet?]
I miss my wife QAQ!
Do you think Shen Xunye can really win over my wife?
[I think it's a bit difficult. My wife is in the prime of her career. Even if he were willing, the company probably wouldn't allow it!]
[The task is arduous and the road ahead is long~]
[What else? Do you think my wife is so easy to woo? Pshaw!]
[By the way, could what Xie Weishui stumbled upon that day have been the scene of a confession?]
Stop chatting! Your wife's out!
Chi Li came out after the online meeting ended.
After going downstairs and playing with the dog for a while, my somewhat foggy mood cleared up a little.
Chen Hao, avoiding Jiang Lele, stealthily crept up to Chi Li's side.
" Chi Li, are you free?" he asked.
"What is it?" Chi Li asked lazily.
"I'd like to interview you again," Chen Hao quickly made his request.
"I'm busy." Chi Li hugged the puppy and stroked its head casually.
Chen Hao was taken aback. "Why not? What are you going to do?"
Aren't these people supposed to get paid without doing anything? What could possibly happen in this house?
Chi Li lowered her eyes and touched the dog's nose with her fingertip. "Play with the dog."
"What kind of nonsense is this?" Chen Hao scoffed. "Isn't giving me an interview more important than playing with dogs?"
Chi Li frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "... Why do you think that accepting your interview is more important than playing with the puppy?"
Chen Hao replied matter-of-factly, "What else?"
Is he even less than a dog?
"I think you should understand one thing," Chi Li said, looking at him with a half-smile, "There are at least eight or ten people waiting to interview me. Which organization are you from? Do I have to accept your interview?"
"I..." Chen Hao hadn't expected Chi Li to refuse so bluntly. He pouted, slightly annoyed. "I'm a guest on your show..."
"So I didn't reject you the first time." Chi Li's face turned cold as she looked down at Chen Hao. "You'll realize after doing interviews for a while that for a reporter as incompetent as you, being rejected is the norm."
Chen Hao pointed to himself in disbelief and said, "Am I such an incompetent reporter??"
Yes, you heard right. [Laughs while covering mouth]
My wife's cold expression has a certain charm... [drooling]
She's absolutely queen-like. [Drooling]
[The hot girl is back for a limited time! (Just kidding!)]
[It's obvious my wife isn't in a good mood; Chen Hao just walked right into a trap, hahaha.]
Is it because one of his suitors isn't here? [Smirk]
"Not only is it lacking in skill," Chi Li gently tugged at the puppy's ear, "Its comprehension seems to be a problem as well."
Chen Hao: "..."
Damn, if there weren't cameras pointed at him, he really wanted to give that fair-skinned pretty boy a good beating...
Chi Li glanced at him dismissively, then left with the puppy in her arms.
That almost contemptuous look made Chen Hao spin around in anger a few times, and then, unable to resist, he posted about it on social media.
Was my interview really that bad?
