Ji Nanshu was woken up early by a WeChat group message.
Before the fourth episode ended, Jian Yuanjia insisted on creating a WeChat group, excluding the Bai Family brothers, and adding all the remaining guests, including Director Yang, to the group.
Ji Nanshu, still half-asleep, opened the WeChat group and took a look...
[ Jian Yuanjia: Ughhhhhh, Bai Nanchen, that piece of shit! How dare he smear my trending topics! [link]]
[ Li Lan: What happened? Let me see.]
[ Jiang Yue: Emmm, I've finished reading it, it's hard to give a proper evaluation.]
[ Yu Lu:...]
Ji Nanshu clicked on the link, and it was another exposé from some Entertainment Gossip Society, basically saying that Jian Yuanjia bullied newcomers because he was a senior in the music industry, and then attached some videos and pictures.
Like Jiang Yue, this is difficult to judge.
Ji Nanshu--
Don't worry, some people will just suffer the consequences of their own actions.
Sure enough, before this trending topic could even settle into its position on the list, another one jumped up with the title. "Is this your Idol? You couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold your whole family!"
When netizens clicked on the video, they found it was a clip of Bai Nanchen bumping into a waiter at a restaurant, not only refusing to apologize but also launching into a tirade of abuse.
The video was very complete, showing everything from when he put down his water glass to when the waiter splashed lemon water on his face and then he walked away. Every single word was posted, and the waiter was even thoughtfully blurred out.
This is a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; Bai Nanchen deserves all of this.
Did Bai Nanchen really think he didn't know he'd added something to the water? The malevolent energy in that water was undetectable to ordinary people, so how could Ji Nanshu not notice?
Although he didn't know exactly what Bai Nanchen had added to it, he was certain it wasn't anything good.
Want to harm him? No way!
After leaving the group chat, Ji Nanshu saw that Si Dai had also sent him a message, inviting him to go to a small village in the south called Huaining. She said that a strange thing had happened there, with several people dying in succession. The relevant departments found it strange and issued a mission.
Tell Ji Nanshu that they will depart around 2 PM today, and if Ji Nanshu is interested, Si Dai will send someone to pick him up.
Ji Nanshu rolled out of bed and ran barefoot to the study to find Chu Mo.
Chu Mo was in a meeting when he slammed his laptop shut. "Ha! You lot, don't even think about seeing my wife!! Not even a glimpse!"
Faced with their boss's sudden offline departure, the group chat that Yun Sheng had secretly created behind Chu Mo's back suddenly erupted into chaos.
[CFO: Yun Sheng Shengshengshengsheng!!! Isn't that the boss's wife?! Right? Right?!]
[Logistics Manager: Yun Sheng Shengshengshengsheng!! Could this be the boss lady I didn't see last time?!]
[Sales Manager: You bunch of scum! I've seen the boss's wife! Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs! She's a waste of the boss's good looks!]
[Planning Department Manager: It's a shame he's paired with the boss +10086]
[Design Manager: Damn?! You think I know nothing?! Can someone send some photos?! [crying]]
Yun Sheng glanced at the group and sneered, "Ha, you bunch of trash! He's seen the proprietress up close! Is the proprietress just someone with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs?"
Then he quickly posted two screenshots of Ji Nanshu from a variety show.
[ Yun Sheng: This is our fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged boss lady! Doesn't she instantly kill the boss?!]
[Design Manager: Wait, isn't this a man?!]
[Sales Manager: That's right, our boss's wife is a man!]
[Logistics Manager:?! Good heavens! The boss is actually messing with a kid! This kid is only 19!!!]
[CFO: An old cow eating young grass...? I, on behalf of the moon, strongly condemn this!!]
[Pushing Department Manager: Bah!]
[CFO: Pshaw!]
[Sales Manager: Pshaw! Pshaw! Pshaw!]
After Chu Mo turned off the computer, he pulled Ji Nanshu onto his lap and tried to tug at his T-shirt to cover his thighs completely.
Seeing Chu Mo's actions, Ji Nanshu belatedly asked, "You... you're not jealous, are you?"
Upon being discovered, Mr. Chu gradually slowed his movements and said aggrievedly, "... I was afraid you'd catch a cold."
cold?
Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Ji Nanshu said speechlessly, "I want to go to this."
Then he handed the phone to Chu Mo, Chu Mo, after reading it, said, "Go ahead, it's a good opportunity to clear your head."
Ji Nanshu knew what Chu Mo meant by "relaxing," so he planted a kiss on Chu Mo's lips and jumped onto the floor. "Go pack my luggage?"
"Okay, let me check the weather..."
As Chu Mo spoke, he sent a message to Yun Sheng on his phone, asking him to continue chairing the rest of the meeting, before happily going to pack his wife's luggage.
Yun Sheng: Bah! This damn love-struck fool!! Destroy him all!!
The mission to Huaining Village involved a total of ten people, including Ji Nanshu.
The relevant departments included: Group 1, headed by Xu Yongnian and member Ding Huarong; Group 2, deputy head Wu Rushuang; Group 3, headed by Shu Cheng and deputy head Chen Anbang, and members Ji Xingyu Si Dai; and Pei Huai You Shiyan from the Celestial Masters Association.
Apart from the people in groups one and two, everyone else was someone I knew.
Ji Xingyu, in particular, was incredibly excited to see Ji Nanshu. He immediately took Ji Nanshu's luggage and said, " Nanshu! Let me carry this for you, you go up first!"
Ji Nanshu glanced at Shu Cheng subconsciously; the other man simply smiled gently, as always.
Hmm... it's hard to say, but he felt that his second brother might have some bad luck in the next few days.
Si Dai and Chen Anbang exchanged a glance, both thinking the same thing, "Don't mess with the captain these next few days," and silently prayed for Ji Xingyu.
Xu Yongnian had heard of the newly formed Group Three, but this was his first time meeting them. After getting into the car, he curiously looked at Shu Cheng and the others, then reached out his hand to Shu Cheng and said, "You're the leader of Group Three, Shu Cheng? First time meeting you. I'm the leader of Group One, Xu Yongnian."
Shu Cheng returned the handshake and said, "Hello, Captain Xu, I'm Shu Cheng. I hope you'll be lenient with me on this mission."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, the other people from the relevant departments also introduced themselves. When it was Ji Nanshu's turn, he said only one name and then fell silent.
Wu Rushuang glanced at Ji Nanshu and asked with a smile, "You three groups didn't choose your team members based on looks, did you? Look at them, each one is prettier than the last."
The people in Group 3 felt a little uncomfortable upon hearing this, but seeing that Wu Rushuang's expression didn't seem to mean anything by it, they just smiled and remained silent, each playing on their phones.
This was Ji Nanshu's first time riding a high-speed train in this world, so he was quite curious. He leaned against the window, watching the scenery along the way very intently, and occasionally took out his phone to take pictures and send them to Chu Mo.
Wu Rushuang glanced disdainfully at Ji Nanshu and the others. The people above were really getting worse with age; these few incompetent youngsters were of no use whatsoever.
