Chapter 146: Clickbait
Feeling this gratitude, Su Yanqing gently patted Chen Yue's back, giving her comfort and support, and her smile became even more gentle.
"Don't be so polite, we are helping each other."
she said softly.
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped up in Su Yanqing's mind, perhaps she was destined to save people from danger.
Thinking back to when she accidentally rescued Xiao Chuyi before, and now she met Chen Yue who needed help, this seemed to have become a part of her life.
Soon, after a busy period, Su Yanqing tidied up a small room for Chen Yue. Although the space was not large, it was enough to make people feel warm and comfortable.
It was already late and there was no time to prepare more, so he had to let the other party spend the night in this simple but safe place, and then go out together the next day to buy some daily necessities.
After finally settling everything, Su Yanqing, exhausted both physically and mentally, fell on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when the first ray of morning light shone into the house through the window, Su Yanqing gently sat up from the bed, ready to go out and start a new day.
At this time, she noticed that Chen Yue was still immersed in her dream. Obviously, this night was a very rare opportunity for the girl who had been running around for several days without a good rest to relax.
Su Yanqing walked out of the room carefully and gently closed the door behind her.
After the sound of the door closing, Chen Yue, who had originally closed her eyes, suddenly opened them. It was obvious that she had not really entered a deep sleep state.
Still feeling a little confused about what happened last night, Su Yanqing didn't think too much about what might have happened at home, but went straight to the workplace of Zheng'an Group in the city center.
As soon as I stepped into the company building, I immediately felt a completely different atmosphere permeating the entire office area.
Those colleagues who would normally come forward to greet her when they saw her, today deliberately avoided eye contact with her, and even pretended not to see her passing by.
Faced with such a strange and cold change in attitude, Su Yanqing felt very confused and puzzled, but she did not stop. Instead, she walked directly to her office to seek answers.
Xu Ke and Cheng Qiqi were sitting on the sofa with sad faces. They both looked very worried, as if they had encountered a huge problem.
Seeing Su Yanqing come in, the two stood up almost at the same time, their expressions showing a mixture of joy and deep worry.
The atmosphere in the room became more subtle.
"Sister Yanqing, you are finally here."
Xu Ke eagerly stepped forward to greet her. He quickly grasped Su Yanqing's wrist and carefully examined her from head to toe. "Did you meet anyone on the way to the company? Did you notice any suspicious stalkers or reporters following you?"
Su Yanqing looked at Xu Ke in bewilderment. "Meet someone? Who?"
She had no idea that she was being noticed on the road, and had no idea that something bad was happening at the moment.
Cheng Qiqi sighed, her eyes filled with helplessness and uneasiness. "We invited the media to cover the family banquet yesterday. The official media only briefly covered the basic details of the banquet, but some gossip still leaked out. People on the Internet are now discussing that you might be playing both sides. On the one hand, you publicly admitted your relationship with Xiao Anxun, and on the other hand, you were flirting with the young master. It's really a headache."
As she spoke, Cheng Qiqi handed the tablet computer in her hand to Su Yanqing. The screen showed the headlines of the latest issue of the gossip magazine.
The title was very eye-catching, even a bit shocking - "Shocking! Brother-in-law and 'sister-in-law' actually did such a thing in public at a banquet."
Not only was the content extremely exaggerated, it was also full of groundless speculation and exaggerated descriptions of the incident. An anonymous person even revealed that in order to win the favor of the two young masters of the Xiao family, Su Yanqing even resorted to some extraordinary means to attract attention, including the so-called indecent dance.
"Where does this messed up news come from?"
Su Yanqing looked at these unfounded and malicious comments, and suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort in her heart, and even the sides of her head began to ache slightly.
Seeing her friend in such pain, Xu Ke felt deeply distressed and comforted her softly, patting her back tenderly: "Don't worry about how outrageous the media reports are. We believe you. You are definitely not that kind of person. There must be someone maliciously slandering you behind the scenes!"
Before Su Yanqing could respond to this warm concern, Cheng Qiqi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly added with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "But it's useless for us to believe you. The key is how to solve this problem and prevent the rumors from spreading further."
"Why do you say that?"
Xu Ke looked at Cheng Qiqi in confusion. He didn't understand what he meant and was also a little confused about what to do in the current situation.
The latter frowned and said, "The cooperation between Zheng'an Group and Anmo is right in front of us and is about to begin, but the project leader has such a scandal. This is really a headache. Under such circumstances, do you think Yanqing will continue to be in charge of the G1 project? This is almost impossible. After all, this kind of scandal will affect our company's reputation."
Xu Ke also seemed a little embarrassed. He sighed slightly, "But Mr. Xue has always trusted Sister Yanqing. Perhaps he thinks that the gossip media reports are all nonsense and won't believe them easily. Mr. Xue still has a certain understanding of Sister Yanqing. He may not be easily shaken by rumors."
Just as he finished speaking, a colleague knocked on the door and came in: "Vice President Su, I just received a call. President Xue asked you to go to his office. I don't know what happened, but he seemed a little anxious."
There was a hint of worry in the colleague's eyes, and it was obvious that he also vaguely sensed the possible problems hidden behind this summons.
Su Yanqing walked slowly towards Xue Yi's office alone, her heart filled with anxiety and doubts.
At this moment, she was wondering whether she would really bring such a big trouble to the company.
Just outside Xue Yi's office door, a lot of people quickly gathered quietly.
There was not much verbal communication between people. Everyone tried to remain as quiet as possible, fearing that even the slightest sound would break the silence and interfere with the conversation.
They performed similar actions almost at the same time: put their hands close to their ears, closed their lips, and leaned forward, trying to catch any information from the door that seemed closed but was not completely soundproof.
Their expressions were extremely focused, and tension and concern could be clearly read on each of their faces.
