News on Weibo changes very quickly, and many people only eat half of the melon, empathizing briefly at the moment, but almost never see the final result.
It had only been a few days, and few people were paying attention to the affairs of the Qu family. Shutong’s Weibo had also returned to some calm.
She hadn’t updated much recently, and rumors swirled that she and Ji Chu had agreed to a divorce, leading fans to believe she was feeling down and avoiding the internet. Even her fans, who used to urge her to order daily, had come to comfort her daily.
Shutong scrolled through her comments for a while and noticed that someone occasionally mentioned Quanquan in her comments section.
Shutong used a secondary account to try to trick the person, and soon, she discovered the whole story.
Someone in a loyal Quanquan fan group had spread the news that the two were close and that Shutong even worked for Quanquan. Given Quanquan’s traditionally cool persona, the appearance of a photo of her and Shutong together had inexplicably garnered a CP fan base.
Thanks to this, Quanquan’s store had a surge in sales, and the pre-sale series on the homepage was directly labeled with words like ‘Tongtong’s Returning Work’ and ‘Shen Shutong’s New Work’.
Fans of the two, especially Quanquan’s fans, were willing to pay for them, especially the retro long skirt, which was even more popular.
Shutong sent the photo of the long skirt to Qin Lang: [Qin Lang, please search for this image for me.]
She remembered that Qin Lang and Ji Chu had developed an image search software that could accurately find similar images on the Internet.
Ji Chu must have been very busy recently, so she went straight to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang was bewildered when he received the photo. When had he and Shen Shutong ever developed such a mutually supportive relationship?
However, he still uploaded the photos and sent back the two links he found.
Shutong just replied with ‘thank you’.
Shutong had guessed correctly. Quanquan’s popular pre-sale dress was actually a copy of a previous fall model from a very small original store.
But Quanquan hinted in the text that this was the design given to her by Shen Shutong.
Which was like Shutong was implicitly being accused of plagiarism.
Qin Lang carried his computer to another office. He waited until the person at the window finished his call before he stepped forward.
“Boss, Shen Shutong just asked me to search for a picture for her. It’s a skirt.”
The next second, Ji Chu gave him a death stare.
“I’d better go first. I still have to optimize some websites today.” Qin Lang said, then ran away with his computer.
Tianyu Group was in trouble, and the shareholders were preoccupied with their own affairs. No one was considering acquiring their company, so he just wanted to come over to watch the fun. However, it seemed that he’d stepped on a landmine.
After all, the boss had been living at the company, and he hadn’t seen the little drama queen in days!
As soon as Qin Lang left, Lin Lanlan came in holding a small box.
“Ji Chu, take a look at this. Do you want me to help you deliver it to Tongtong?”
Ji Chu had already taken the box and refused in a low voice, “No need.”
Lin Lanlan pulled the corners of her mouth and said hesitantly, “Ji Chu, I feel like Tongtong seems to have some misunderstandings about me. She hasn’t replied to my messages recently, and she didn’t even say a word when I asked her out for dinner…”
Ji Chu glanced at her and helped Shutong explain, “She’s busy.”
“I think…she might have misunderstood our relationship. Didn’t someone send us pictures of us before? I’m afraid she’s overthinking it.”
Ji Chu paused, “What do you want?”
Lin Lanlan met those dark eyes. Her heart raced, but she remained calm.
“I asked her to have dinner downstairs at the office, and she agreed. You should come too. Help me explain. She hasn’t spoken to me in a while…”
Ji Chu nodded, “Okay.”
Only then did Lin Lanlan leave the office with red eyes.
Ji Chu stood up and walked into the lounge. He adjusted his shirt collar and cufflinks in front of a half-length mirror, then looked down at his watch. There were still three hours left.
Just after getting off work at 5:30 in the afternoon, Lin Lanlan quickly ran to find Ji Chu and left the company with him.
The colleagues who saw this scene were all surprised.
Lin Lanlan and Ji Chu were dating??
When they asked Manager Qin, he also had no idea.
At this time, in a nearby restaurant and bar, Shutong had just sat down when she received a message from Lin Lanlan: [Ji Chu and I are coming over now. Tongtong, you can order first.]
Huh?
Shutong looked at the message with great interest, but did not reply.
Lin Lanlan had been wanting to have dinner with her every day lately. So, was this her plan?
