Phoenix A has Gone Viral Across the Entire Internet! - Chapter 25

Pei Qiyi could tell exactly what was going on in the other woman’s head just by looking at her expression. She gave a fake smile and said crossly, “Yes, do not doubt it. It is you.”

Fearing the Alpha would start making excuses and dragging her feet again, Pei Qiyi furrowed her brows and used her trump card. “Zhiwan, keep a close eye on her for me. If she dares to be absent when the time comes, I will personally go and ‘invite’ her myself.”

After giving that instruction, she smiled at Shen Nian. “Shen Nian, you know the consequences if that happens, right?”

Under the pressure, Shen Nian nodded repeatedly. “I certainly will not miss such a great opportunity.”

Pei Qiyi replied with a skin-deep smile, “Better that way. Fine, you can go. I still need to talk to Zhiwan about her work schedule for the next three months. She is much more professional than you.”

Shen Nian could not wait to leave. She muttered some sour words about being unable to bear leaving Sister Earn’s teachings, but her feet were like the wind as she exited.

The consequence of her momentary lapse in focus was that she did not pay enough attention at the turn and accidentally bumped into someone.

“Hey, how do you walk” Just as the words of accusation were about to come out, the other person looked up and recognized the Alpha’s face. They made a stiff, sudden u-turn in tone. “Walking so dashingly, well walked, well walked indeed!”

Clearly, they had recognized Shen Nian’s true identity.

To avoid Pei Qiyi’s nagging, Shen Nian rarely came to the company. Combined with her low-profile nature, only a limited number of employees could recognize her.

As luck would have it, she managed to run into one right before leaving.

Shen Nian searched her memory and quickly connected the middle-aged man with the flattering face to “Dog Zhang,” whom she had spoken with not long ago.

Zhang Xian was an expert at reading people. Seeing Shen Nian’s expression, he knew she had remembered who he was.

Yuemo Entertainment belonged to the Shen Group. If one were to be technical about it, he should address her as “Little Boss Shen.”

Being remembered by the boss was undoubtedly a great thing for the vast majority of employees.

“Miss Shen came to the company in person today,” Zhang Xian said with a beaming smile, acting as a sycophant as always. “Shall I show you around?”

Aside from his love for flattering leaders, Zhang Xian was not bad at heart. He was loyal and useful. Therefore, while Shen Nian was somewhat repulsed by his personality, she was relatively satisfied with his work.

Hearing his question, she only raised an eyebrow. “No need, I was just about to leave. Remember to keep a low profile. Do not let others know about my real background.”

Zhang Xian nodded repeatedly and echoed, “I understand, I understand.”

Afraid of being caught by Pei Qiyi if she finished her work talk early, Shen Nian nodded back and then hurried away as if her feet were on fire.

Watching Shen Nian leave, Zhang Xian wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, astonished that the little troublemaker was so easy to deal with today.

Normally, whenever this one contacted him, it was guaranteed that a mountain of thorny issues would come rushing at him for a solution.

However, before Zhang Xian could celebrate for long, the smile on his lips was knocked back by a special notification sound from his phone.

Three sharp beeps, as urgent as a death knell, were enough to trigger every nervous nerve in Zhang Xian’s body.

Well, he knew it. How could the little demon suddenly change her nature and not find something for him to do?

Zhang Xian resignedly took out his phone to look. He found that the assigned task was actually quite simple: [Help me arrange for someone to enter Yuemo Entertainment. The name is Li Yuling.]

Just arranging for someone to come in. Simple—

Before Zhang Xian could catch his breath, the second set of beeps rang out.

[No special treatment.]

No special treatment? Did that mean he should or should not give her any?

Zhang Xian rubbed his chin and began the most difficult reading comprehension task for a workplace veteran. After all, this involved whether the company should specifically pour resources into her.

[Treat her like everyone else. Supervisor Zhang, you should understand what I mean, right?]

If Zhang Xian was only half-clear before, the arrival of this last message finally made him understand completely.

He quickly replied with a “Received,” and then began looking up the information for “Li Yuling” on the spot.

He had only just started reading when his shoulder was bumped into with moderate force.

Great. This was the second time he had been bumped today. He did not believe there was anyone in this company more authoritative than Little Boss Shen who could bump into someone without apologizing!

“How do you walk”

“Walking so early? Are you heading out to handle some business, President Pei?”

When Zhang Xian looked up and saw it was Pei Qiyi, his smile was as polite as could be.

Pei Qiyi glanced at him, nodded casually, and said coldly, “Yes. I am taking an artist out for a meal and to discuss the work schedule.”

“Why is Supervisor Zhang just standing here? Staring down at your phone? Is there no work in your hands?”

Zhang Xian’s throat tightened. He thought to himself, You have picked a fight with a piece of cotton.

He pretended to unlock his phone and look at it, telling a serious lie. “I just finished up. I suddenly got a notice that there is a meeting in fifteen minutes. I will head over now. See you later, President Pei.”

His hurried departure made it hard not to think he really had an emergency to handle.

Even a company supervisor like Zhang Xian had the instinctive reaction to “run for his life” upon seeing Pei Qiyi. The reason was simple: everyone in Yuemo had feared Pei Qiyi’s tongue for a long time.

President Pei was great in every way. She had strong business ability, high efficiency, and she basically succeeded in everything she led the team to do. Only her poisonous tongue was truly unbearable.

Speaking of her most famous battle, one had to mention a collaboration with a difficult client six months ago. Everyone who talked to him was picked apart, but as soon as President Pei arrived, she scolded that bald boss until his head itched in less than half an hour.

Afterward, not only did he not dare to be picky, but he also reportedly sent a generous gift to President Pei to thank her for curing his years of baldness.

How could anyone expect that a bald man, when scolded into silence, could actually grow two rows of hair out of sheer frustration?

Such glorious deeds were best left unmentioned.

Therefore, anyone who could stay by Pei Qiyi’s side comfortably without wanting to flee was quite a character.

This led to Jiang Zhiwan receiving the respectful gazes of the surrounding employees for the Nth time as she followed Pei Qiyi out of the company.

“…” Jiang Zhiwan’s expression remained unchanged, acting as if she had not noticed.

Originally, the plan was to take Jiang Zhiwan to lunch and discuss work. However, Pei Qiyi was too busy and had to change the itinerary midway to handle two messes for the company. By the time everything was handled, the scheduled lunch had turned into dinner.

In the end, the work arrangements were discussed in bits and pieces on the road, but Jiang Zhiwan had been dragged around everywhere, even acting as an assistant for the day.

This made Pei Qiyi feel a rare sense of guilt.

So, she booked a high-end restaurant she frequented and handed the menu to Jiang Zhiwan, telling her not to be polite and to order whatever she wanted.

Pei Qiyi had a heroic look and a strong aura. Those who did not know her could easily mistake her second gender for an Alpha.

Ji Xicheng happened to be at the same restaurant with a friend. Seeing a familiar face and sensing gossip, she observed secretly from the side for a while.

In a corner at the back, someone was lowering their voice on a phone call. “So I am telling you, old man, when looking at people, you have to look at their character. Do not give anyone a professional halo. According to our previous agreement, you cannot interfere in my love life from now on!”

After hanging up, Yu Mengning felt refreshed. She could finally continue to be a stable member of the single nobility.

She was waiting here to catch Jiang Jiang and her manager after they finished eating, so she could tell her the good news and give her a ride home.

A perfect, caring bestie should be exactly like her.

Just as Yu Mengning turned around, she found someone looking suspiciously at the table where Jiang Jiang and the others were sitting.

What kind of dedicated paparazzi was this? They would not even let people eat in peace?

Yu Mengning could not help but frown and walked straight over, tapping the person’s shoulder with moderate force.

But after seeing the person’s face clearly, she crossed her arms. “Yo, isn’t this my ex-girlfriend, the eternal supporting actress?”

Ji Xicheng was startled by the tap, but after hearing the mockery, she could not help but roll her eyes.

This person, why were they rubbing salt in the wound?

However, she was not the type to take an insult lying down. She immediately shot back, “Ah, I wondered who it was that could walk without looking. It turns out to be our eldest miss of the medical world.”

Yu Mengning hated being associated with the medical field.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two became tense.

However, the two did not face off for long before a waiter carrying a hot soup dish split a path between them.

Afterward, the two of them each held their heads high and walked in opposite directions without looking back.

The gossip was gone, and she had run into her ex.

Regardless, these things did not affect Ji Xicheng’s good mood for dinner tonight.

And it certainly did not stop her from showing off on her social feed like a peacock.

At that time, Shen Nian was slumped on her sofa at home like a salted fish, boredly scrolling through her social feed. She happened to see the photo Ji Xicheng posted, a picture of gourmet food while subtly showing off her hand.

Heh.

[Fake at a glance. You must have edited it at least five centimeters longer, right? And whitened it too.]

Seeing this comment, Ji Xicheng immediately sent a private message in a huff.

[Shen Nian, what do you mean? You are sabotaging me, right? If you are jealous, just say so. I will not laugh at you.]

Shen Nian lazily opened her eyes a crack and replied: [You know very well whether it is edited or not.]

Ji Xicheng, who had indeed edited it a tiny bit, was temporarily speechless.

[Fine. I was going to share some gossip about the female lead of the drama I just finished, but it seems you do not want to hear it.]

Shen Nian had just typed “Who wants to hear it” on the screen and was about to send it when she suddenly realized the other person seemed to be talking about Jiang Zhiwan. She quickly withdrew the message.

[Who? Jiang Zhiwan? I suddenly want to hear it. Tell me.]

[Eight hundred. The price is fair; it is to soothe my ego after being roasted.]

Shen Nian narrowed her eyes and made a mental note against the other person, but she did not hesitate to transfer eight hundred and eighty-eight over.

Having opened the red envelope, Ji Xicheng’s troubles vanished. She sent over a “Boss is Awesome” meme.

She intentionally added flair to her narration of what she saw.

[Hey, tell me, could that female Alpha be Jiang Zhiwan’s suitor? The two of them looked quite a match.]

Ji Xicheng wanted to add another “eating melon” emoji, but she was suddenly notified that the message failed to send. She had been blacklisted.

Wow, Shen Nian. It was only eight hundred. Was it really worth blacklisting me?

The wine you swiped from my house last time was worth ten times more than that!

After blacklisting Ji Xicheng, Shen Nian tossed her phone aside, intending to continue being a salted fish.

A female Alpha? A suitor?

Come to think of it, Jiang Zhiwan was quite beautiful, so having suitors was not strange.

But…

For some reason she could not explain, Shen Nian felt strangely restless. She simply transformed back into a little ink-wash bird and waited for Jiang Zhiwan to return.

Returning home after “dating” someone else, surely, she would reveal some clues to such a cute and harmless little bird?

Shen Nian was full of confidence. Between the time she heard Jiang Zhiwan come home and the time she walked through the door, she posed in no less than five different cute positions.

When the Omega appeared in the living room, the little bird fluttered its wings and flew over, landing on her shoulder and tilting its head to look at her.

Seeing that Jiang Zhiwan’s attention was indeed completely captured, the little bird could not help but feel smug. Heh, woman. How can you not be overwhelmed by this cuteness?
