Chapter 116 - 116: I’ll Bring You A Gift When I Come Back

Lin Mo words fell.

Only the sounds of the camera shutters could be heard.

What she said was reasonable. The reporters could not find any fault with it.

Tang Qidai had indeed become famous because of Lu Shiyuan’s resources.

Thanks to him, she was able to become an A-rank celebrity.

She had always been controversial because she wasn’t as skilled as a typical A-rank celebrity.

The diehard fans she had were all attracted by the persona she had gone to great lengths to maintain.

Basically, Tang Qidai wasn’t able to reap any fans from the neutral crowd.

Recently, Lin Shanchu had been in the limelight when she participated in a talent show. Tang Qidai had been targeting her everywhere, but all her plans kept getting foiled. In the end, she had even gotten herself into trouble.

Tang Qidai’s series of actions caused her reputation to plummet in front of the neutral crowd.

These were all public secrets.

This way, it was reasonable for Lin Shanchu to fire Kong Suyi and ask Tang Qidai to suspend her work.

“Did you really make all arrangements for Tang Qidai without your personal feelings manipulating you?” the reporter asked.

Lin Shanchu smiled. “As a businesswoman, I view those who can make money for the company as my ancestors. Everyone wants to earn lots of money, right?”

The reporter was speechless. It felt like he had been implicated.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he wanted to complete his performance…

If not for his meager salary…

He wouldn’t have to squat outdoors in the 40-degree summer heat just to get the first scoop.

“Yes!” he agreed.

Lin Shanchu continued, “Thank you for paying attention to the Lu Corporation.

We will continue to improve under your supervision.”

After getting into the car, Lin Shanchu noticed Li Mo’s worried expression.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I’m fine.” Li MO started the car.

To be honest, he was a little worried for his big brother.

When Lin Shanchu held the shareholders’ meeting, she told the shareholders that she didn’t care about the company’s share market at all.

When she was interviewed just now, she claimed that earning money was her top priority.

It turned out that women were great liars.

Big Brother had never been in a relationship before. How could he be Ms. Lin’s match?

At this moment, Li Mo’s phone rang.

Li MO was driving, so it wasn’t convenient for him to answer the call.

Lin Shanchu glanced at the screen and saw the words “Big Brother”.

It was Huo Xunzhou.

Li MO noticed Lin Shanchu’s gaze. “Ms. Lin, can you help me answer the phone?”

Lin Shanchu leaned over and took Li Mo’s phone.

She swiped the answer button and put it on speaker mode.

The person on the other side didn’t say anything immediately. Two seconds later, Huo Xunzhou’s voice came through the phone.

“Lin Shanchu?”

“How did you know it was me?” Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened.

Huo Xunzhou chuckled softly.

It wasn’t hard to guess.

Li MO always took the initiative to speak when he answered his calls.

Today, Li MO was with Lin Shanchu.

“Big Brother, I’m driving. What happened?” Li MO asked loudly.

Huo Xunzhou wouldn’t call him for no reason.

“I’m going on a business trip tonight. I’ll be back tomorrow.” Huo Xunzhou’s smile disappeared and his tone became serious.

“What time?” His brother was going on a business trip, so naturally, he had to go with him.

“I’ll go by myself,” said Huo Xunzhou.

“Big Brother…”

Li MO was about to speak again when Huo Xunzhou interrupted him. “It’s decided then. I’ll have a word with Lin Shanchu.”

Lin Shanchu turned off the speaker mode and placed the phone to her ear.

“Congratulations on getting first place again, Shanshan.”

After turning off the speaker mode, the man on the other end of the line started to call her Shanshan without any restraint.

Lin Shanchu suppressed her voice and started speaking in a slow cadence. “It’s all thanks to you that I can achieve my goal.”

Li MO, who was driving in the front row, was shocked by Lin Shanchu’s voice.

Fortunately, he was extremely skilled in driving and didn’t make any errors.

On the other end of the line, Huo Xunzhou was silent for three seconds. “Shanshan, you’re a smart woman. I think you should understand that you won’t be able to obtain everything you want in life without obstacles.”

Lin Shanchu suspected that Huo Xunzhou was disgusted by her voice and was trying to cripple her confidence.

She Imew that Huo Xunzhou must have Imown that she was talking about Lu

Shiyuan.

It was the same as last time.

Xia Jinmeng and Tang Qidai had gotten the media to spread rumors that she was harassing the students. She had deliberately released the news that she was going to hold a press conference, thinking that Lu Shiyuan might break off their engagement.

Huo Xunzhou said that she couldn’t get her wish.

“Hmph!” Lin Shanchu snorted. “Brother Xunzhou, you’re so smart. I’m sure you understand that people’s predictions don’t always come true.”

Even if she could not bring Lu Shiyuan down this time, she would make him sustain some losses.

She refused to believe that Huo Xunzhou was so omnipotent that he would be able to nail each prediction on the head.

Sensing the anger in her tone, Huo Xunzhou’s lips curled into a small smile. “You’re right, Shanshan.”

Lin Shanchu was a young woman who was the most lovable when she was angry.

Of course, Lin Shanchu didn’t know what Huo Xunzhou was thinking.

She just felt that Huo Xunzhou was mocking her.

Lin Shanchu emphasized each word. “Just wait and see!”

“I’ll bring you a gift when I come back.” Huo Xunzhou’s tone was as gentle as if he was coaxing a child.

“Goodbye!”

Huo Xunzhou was probably bored to death, so he decided to say such things just to tease her.

Lin Shanchu hung up the phone.

When she Dut Li Mo’s Dhone back. she looked uD and saw Li Mo’s fatherlv

smile.

Lin? Mo was speechless.

Although she didn’t think that the conversation between her and Huo Xunzhou had any ambiguous elements, she felt that she could not explain herself at all.

Qi Cheng lived in a very private neighborhood.

There were reporters waiting at the entrance of the neighborhood.

Some reporters tried to sneak in, but the security guards always saw through their intentions.

“How do we get in?” Li MO asked.

“We’re here to look for someone, not to cause trouble for them.”

After Lin Shanchu finished speaking, she got out of the car and walked toward the security booth at the entrance of the neighborhood. “Hello, I’m here to look for Qi Cheng who lives in Block 5.”

Lin Shanchu smiled as she voiced her request politely.

When the security guard saw her face, he was stunned by her beauty.

“Qi Cheng hasn’t been home recently.” “How do you know he isn’t home?” “The police came by this afternoon.” “All right, thank you.”

Lin Shanchu returned to the car.

Li MO saw that she looked a little down, so he quickly said, “Maybe he’ll be back tomorrow.”

At this moment, Lin Shanchu finally remembered that she had a system. There was no movement from the system these days. Could it be dead?

“Are you still alive, idiot?” Lin Shanchu asked.

Soon, the mechanical voice of the system sounded in her mind. [The system is upgrading. It can only be used normally after the upgrade is completed.] Lin Shanchu was speechless.

As expected, she shouldn’t have had high hopes for this stupid system.

“Where are you staying tonight, Ms. Lin?” Li MO asked. Lin Shanchu turned to look out the window.

It was already late.

“Big Brother’s house is quite close to here…” Li MO suggested considerately.

The training camp was quite far away, and she still had to look for Qi Cheng tomorrow. It would be a waste of time to return to the training camp.

“That’s a little inappropriate, isn’t it?” Lin Shanchu was tempted by the offer.

“What’s the big deal? Big Brother’s house is your house… I mean, we’re all friends here…” Li MO tried to explain..
