This morning, Yang Chen came to the Four Seasons Hotel on the Bund.
The reason why he appeared here was because he received a call from Jiang Haokun.
"What happened to Jiang Lai? You called me here in such a hurry?"
Yang Chen saw the restless Jiang Haokun at the door of the hotel room and asked him.
In fact, he already had some guesses about what happened to Jiang Lai. This arrogant author probably knew the truth about Chen Fang's death and started a hunger strike.
"Jiang Lai has locked herself in her room for two days without eating or drinking... I hope you can help persuade her. I really have no other way, otherwise I won't trouble you." Jiang Haokun looked irritated. Di walked back and forth at the door of the room. When he saw Yang Chen, he quickly said to him.
"Two days?! Why don't you get her out and give her some glucose or something?" Yang Chen said.
"You also know Jiang Lai's temper. She can't think of herself. It's useless no matter what I do..." Jiang Haokun frowned.
"That's true."
Yang Chen nodded slightly. Jiang Lai had been spoiled since she was a child. No one could stop her from doing anything she wanted to do. "Why can't she let go...because of Chen Fang's matter?"
"Um."
Jiang Haokun nodded, not surprised that Yang Chen knew about Chen Fang. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened a video.
This is a video of Jiang Haokun and Chen Fang chatting.
In the video, Chen Fang stated his purpose of approaching Jiang Lai.
"Jiang Lai knows the truth about Chen Fang's suicide and can't bear the blow... I hope you can help persuade her, just think that I owe you a favor. As long as you can persuade her to eat, I will promise you no matter what." Jiang Haokun Looking at Yang Chen very eagerly, he is now desperate and there is nothing he can do.
"Don't worry, Jiang Lai is also my friend, so you should help." Yang Chen patted Jiang Haokun on the shoulder, "You ask someone to bring a bowl of porridge first, and I'll go in and take a look at her."
"Thanks."
Jiang Haokun made a call, and within two minutes, a bowl of porridge was delivered.
Yang Chen entered the room carrying porridge.
At this time, Jiang Lai was like a living dead, lying motionless on the carpet. His whole body was disheveled, his face was pale, and his eyes were dull. It seemed that his soul was no longer there, leaving only a body.
Looking very haggard.
"Hey, Miss Jiang, why are you lying on the ground?"
Yang Chen walked to Jiang Lai and sat on the floor, "Get up quickly, I'm here to bring you food."
Jiang Lai seemed motionless and showed no reaction as if he hadn't heard his words.
Yang Chen patted her butt and said, "Come, have some porridge."
Jiang Lai twisted his body and pulled his hand away, but said nothing.
"Hey, you can still move. I thought you were dead. Do you want me to feed you? Come on, open your mouth..."
Yang Chen scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge and brought it to Jiang Lai's chapped lips.
Jiang Lai was like a puppet, silent and resisting silently.
"Okay, if you don't drink, I will!"
Yang Chen put the porridge into his mouth, then leaned down, lowered his head, blocked Jiang Lai's mouth, and passed the porridge directly.
"Ahem...you bastard!"
Jiang Lai immediately resisted and pushed Yang Chen away hard. The porridge he poured into her mouth made her cough.
"I'm a bastard, you know it now?" Yang Chen chuckled and said with a look of disgust, "You think I want to kiss you, but you don't even look at your current appearance, you look like a female ghost... This In other words, I am so brave, if it were anyone else, you would have scared me away!"
"If you think I'm ugly, don't come. I didn't let you come!" Jiang Lai stared at him fiercely like a rooster with fried feathers.
"I can't help it. Who can tell me to be so kind-hearted? One day and a hundred days of kindness between husband and wife. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to care."
Yang Chen felt relieved. It would be nice if she could speak. He was just afraid that she wouldn't say anything.
"Okay, get up and drink it yourself. Don't pretend to be a chaste and fierce lady. This kind of persona of an infatuated rich lady has long been outdated. Besides, you are not that kind of person. Aren't you tired of pretending..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Jiang Lai's eyes seemed to be bursting with fire as he glared at Yang Chen.
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you are so infatuated, why did you have sex with me? I remember the first time we had sex, you seemed to have taken the initiative..."
"...That's because I was drunk!" Jiang Lai was ashamed and annoyed.
"Okay, let's just pretend you were drunk the first time. What about the second time? You took the initiative to ask me out the second time!" Yang Chen said. "Actually, you don't like Chen Fang that much at all. You just enjoy the feeling of liking someone. To put it bluntly, you are narcissistic and moved by yourself."
Jiang Lai suddenly stopped talking.
"Okay, stop pretending in front of me. I know you want to eat now, but you just can't save face. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. Anyway, I already know who you are..."
Yang Chen put the bowl in front of her, "Get up and eat!"
"I don't want you to worry about it, just leave!" Jiang Lai buried his face in the carpet and said in a muffled voice.
"You don't want to eat, right? OK, I'll count to three. If you don't eat, I'll feed you! You know I can do anything." Yang Chen warned, and then started counting, "One, two ,three……"
Before he finished counting three, Jiang Lai turned back and grabbed the bowl with his hand.
This eldest lady has been spoiled since she was a child. She wants to be tough but not soft. She won't listen when you talk nicely, so you have to be tough.
"now it's right!"
After saying that, Yang Chen patted his butt and stood up, walking towards the balcony without looking at her anymore.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and looking out, you can see the rolling Huangpu River, the cruise ships coming and going on the river, and the Oriental Pearl Tower standing across the river.
Jiang Lai silently picked up the bowl and drank in small sips.
…
noon.
Zhong Xiaoqin was doing a routine check in the mall when she suddenly heard a quarrel coming from a store.
"These shoes are so rotten, look at it, look at it..."
"Don't get excited yet..."
"Why aren't you excited? I've been here all day. I'm going to pay for it! Do you know that I'm going to pay for it?"
"Compensate, you must pay!"
This is a shoe specialty store, and the customers who came to cause trouble were a couple. They seemed to want to ask the store to compensate for the problem with their shoes!
"What happened?" Zhong Xiaoqin hurried over and asked the waiter in the store.
"Sister Xiaoqin, these two customers said that the shoes in our store have quality problems and asked for a refund. But look, these shoes have been worn like this..." the waiter said.
"Hey, have you called someone? Let me tell you, it's useless for anyone to come today. If you can't get compensation, no one can leave!" When the male customer saw Zhong Xiaoqin coming, he immediately shouted rudely.
"Hello, we are a regular shopping mall here. All stores have undergone strict qualification review and will never sell fake shoes. And you are wearing these shoes like this..."
"Who are you?"
"I'm from the property department here."
Zhong Xiaoqin started to reason with them, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a male customer.
"The real estate agent? Is the real estate agent responsible for this? Let me tell you, I'm going to find you today. If you don't help me solve it, I won't be done with it. I'll call 315..." The female customer yelled unreasonably.
"Ma'am, don't worry..."
"We have something to talk about."
"It's not that we won't compensate you, but we also need a process..."
Zhong Xiaoqin and the waiter in the shoe store persuaded him nicely.
"Process? I'll show you my process!"
The female customer yelled and started making trouble, grabbing the shoes on the shelf and throwing them to the ground.
"Miss, you can't do this..."
"Who are you calling Miss!"
The waiter quickly went to stop him, but was pushed away by the female customer and almost fell to the ground.
"If you have something to say, how can you hit someone?"
"Who hit someone? Who saw the beating?"
"Security Department, Security Department, send a few people to BBG now. Someone is making trouble."
Seeing that the matter was getting serious, Zhong Xiaoqin immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called security.
"Call the security, right? Come on, let's all come and see. This store sells fake shoes. The appraisal report in my hand confirms that this store sells fake shoes. Now they won't compensate, and they say we are causing trouble... "The male customer picked up an appraisal report and shouted at the onlookers.
"Let me take a look..."
Zhong Xiaoqin wanted to see the appraisal report, but was pushed away by the female customer.
The waiter came to help.
During the pushing, the customer and Zhong Xiaoqin accidentally fell down.
The store suddenly became chaotic.
Soon, the incident was filmed by onlookers and posted online.
Events began to unfold.
Some self-media and Internet celebrities came to donate traffic. The video was maliciously edited by some people during the dissemination process, and later turned into a shopping mall selling fake goods, and the waiters even beat people.
The matter got serious and had a very negative impact on the shopping mall.
Therefore, Zhong Xiaoqin was also temporarily suspended and went home to reflect.
On the way home, Zhong Xiaoqin was recognized by others on the bus and became a street rat. Everyone yelled and beat her.
Someone also deliberately stuck gum in her hair.
…
Jingle bell bell bell bell…
Yang Chen's cell phone rang, and the caller was Gu Jia.
"Hey, Gu Jia."
"Yang Chen, did you know something happened to Xiaoqin?"
"What happened?"
"Someone was making trouble in the mall today. Xiaoqin went over to break up the fight and pushed a few customers. As a result, it was posted on the Internet. It was said that the mall was selling fake goods and the waiters beat people. Now it is trending. You can take a look online. Bar……"
"Where's Xiaoqin?"
"Xiaoqin is here with me."
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Chen came to Gu Jia's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhong Xiaoqin sitting on the sofa with an aggrieved look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Yang Chen rubbed her head and asked softly.
"I didn't hit anyone..." Zhong Xiaoqin felt sour and almost burst into tears.
"I know, our Xiaoqin is so good, how could she hit someone? Don't listen to the nonsense of those people on the Internet. They don't know anything, they just know how to be stupid..." Yang Chen took Zhong Xiaoqin into his arms and patted her gently. Patted her on the back.
"However, our manager said that I made a big deal out of something that was originally a small matter and had a bad impact on the mall. He asked me to go home and reflect." Zhong Xiaoqin said aggrievedly.
"It's not your fault, it's all their fault. Your manager just wants you to go back to avoid the limelight temporarily, and he didn't fire you. After a few days, the heat will dissipate, and it will be fine. Besides, it's just a job It's a bad job. If you're not happy, we'll resign and stop working!" Yang Chen comforted.
"But, what will I do if I resign? I don't know anything..." Zhong Xiaoqin said.
"I'll support you." Yang Chen smiled.
Zhong Xiaoqin felt sweet in her heart, rolled her eyes at him shyly, pouted and whispered in a low voice: "I don't want you to support me, I can support myself..."
"Yes, our Xiaoqin is the most capable." Yang Chen pinched her cheek and said with a smile.
"Oops!" Zhong Xiaoqin found that Gu Jiazhen was looking at her, her face suddenly turned red, and she quickly pushed Yang Chen away.
"Xiaoqin, why don't you come over and help me. My company has just been established, and I have been busy these past two days. Come over and help me." The complicated look in Gu Jia's eyes flashed away. He sat on the other side of Zhong Xiaoqin, took her hand, and said to her.
"Ah, but I don't know anything." Zhong Xiaoqin said.
"It doesn't matter, you can learn slowly if you don't know how." Gu Jia said.
"Yes, this is a good idea. If you don't want to go to work, you can also create on your own. I've seen the mood diary you wrote online, and it's quite good..." Yang Chen said.
"You peeked into my diary!" Zhong Xiaoqin exclaimed.
"That's not peeking. If you post it directly online, anyone can read it." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Xiaoqin, can you still write?" Gu Jia asked in surprise.
"Of course, our Xiaoqin is an artistic young woman. She can not only write, but also draw. She is versatile. She is simply a treasure girl!" Yang Chen praised.
"Oh, stop talking, I was just writing and drawing..." Zhong Xiaoqin felt a little embarrassed by his praise.
"Anyway, I think your writing is pretty good. Maybe one day someone will come to help you publish a book." Yang Chen said with a smile.
In fact, the things she casually wrote have indeed been noticed by others, and the copyright was bought by a film and television company soon after.
After a burst of laughter, Zhong Xiaoqin's mood became cheerful.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Xiaoqin, is there really something wrong with the pair of shoes that the customer brought over today?" Yang Chen asked.
"Well, our manager has asked someone to identify them. Those shoes are indeed high imitations." Zhong Xiaoqin said.
"High imitation shoes... I remember a while ago, didn't Chen Xu get into trouble for selling high imitation shoes? The two things may be related." Yang Chen said.
"Listening to what you said, it's really possible that these two things were done by a group of people." Gu Jia's expression changed.
"If this is really the case, then the police must be called!" Yang Chen said.
"Call the police? Is it necessary..." Zhong Xiaoqin hesitated.
"Of course it is necessary! This gang of sellers of fake shoes has caused our Xiaoqin to be criticized by the leadership. They must be caught and severely punished!" Yang Chen said with dignity and awe.
If it were normal times, he would definitely not care about this kind of thing.
However, he remembered that Chen Yu started a secret follow-up investigation after learning about this incident, which made Zhong Xiaoqin deeply moved and showed signs of changing his mind.
This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud and completely eliminated.
Never give him any chance!
"I suspect this is a large-scale case of selling and selling counterfeit goods. I happen to know the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment in Magic City. I will take you to him and tell him about the situation. We will bring the criminals to justice as soon as possible to avoid Someone will be deceived again." Yang Chen said.
"Then...okay." Zhong Xiaoqin nodded.
She is a very independent person, she just listens to what others say.
Yang Chen immediately called Zhang Cheng, and then took Zhong Xiaoqin to report the case.
Zhang Cheng immediately took the case seriously.
With his strength, he can naturally investigate the case much faster than Chen Yu. It is estimated that the case will be closed before Chen Yu starts taking action.
In the evening, Yang Chen took Zhong Xiaoqin home again and loved her very much.
