After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 385: Just Because I’m Richer Than You

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Just Because I’m Richer Than You

The reporter finished speaking and then looked at Shi Yaoguang with burning eyes, waiting for her response.

Regardless of her answer, the reporter already had a response prepared in his mind.

Being quick to react is a must in this line of work.

At the same time as being quick, one must possess two options.

The first.

To react quickly and keep a certain level of quality and conscience.

The second.

To react quickly and seize every opportunity to set linguistic traps for the other party, digging out the explosive highlights, even if the facts have been manipulated.

The reporter asking Shi Yaoguang was clearly the latter type.

The way he looked at Shi Yaoguang was as fervent as looking at walking RMB.

Watching him, Shi Yaoguang just tugged at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems like Mister Reporter is very curious about how I get along with the Shi Family’s fake heiress," she said.

The reporter was frightened by her gaze, but he could only nod his head stiffly.

"I’m just curious..."

Shi Yaoguang laughed softly, "Curious, huh? I can understand that."

"Since you are so curious, there’s no harm in telling you."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up in the direction outside the crowd.

The surrounding crowd, seeing her expression, all turned to look in that direction.

Through the dense throng of people, one could see a low-key Maybach parked there.

Shi Yaoguang waved in that direction and gestured.

Soon, the butler got out of the car.

He approached Shi Yaoguang with spry steps, bowed slightly, asked her how she was, and then handed her the item he had brought.

Some in the crowd watched his actions with envy and whispered snide remarks.

"Who is this person? Such grandeur..."

"What era is this, still bowing? Why not kneel down and kowtow right on the spot?"

"..."

Shi Yaoguang ignored the surrounding banter and turned on the mini projector the butler had brought her.

She also showed it to the reporter from before, "Do you see what I have in my hands?"

The reporter nodded subconsciously.

Before he could ask what it was for, he heard Shi Yaoguang continue to ask, "Which news agency are you from?"

The reporter pointed to the badge on his chest, "Moxin Magazine."

"I’ll remember that," Shi Yaoguang nodded, then said to the butler beside her, "Butler, please instruct that no articles related to me be published by Moxin Magazine. If you find them making any sneaky moves, don’t hesitate, directly ban them."

These words, spoken in front of numerous reporters, seemed to hold an intention to make an example out of someone.

The reporter from Moxin Publishing Company became anxious too. Although he didn’t know the background of the butler in front of him, it wasn’t hard to tell that he must be from a prominent family, judging by his demeanor and conduct.

Nonsense, what minor family would hire a butler?

They had no such luxury to show off.

Hearing what Shi Yaoguang had just said, he immediately objected.

After all the hard work and soul-crushing reporting, wasn’t it all to chase a big story?

Now his avenue for news was cut off.

Without news, what could he use to make a living?

As the saying goes, cutting off a man’s livelihood is akin to killing his parents.

The male reporter’s eyes, looking at Shi Yaoguang, were filled with a desperate madness, as if he wanted to go down with her.

Cough.

He was just a bit more ferocious-looking.

If he really had to take further action, he wouldn’t be able to do it.

After all, he was only so brave. Actually confront her?

Nonsense.

He wasn’t even worth Shi Yaoguang crushing him with a strand of her hair.

But he couldn’t give up just like that, not content.

Therefore, he looked at Shi Yaoguang with what he thought was a defiant gaze, hoping she would give him an explanation, "Shi classmate, this isn’t very nice of you, is it?"

"What’s so bad about it?" Shi Yaoguang asked as if it were a matter of course, "Have I done anything atrocious? I shouldn’t have, right?"

"Why on earth won’t you let Moxin Magazine publish..." the male reporter began, his eyes practically shooting fire.

Before he came, he had already figured out the content he would release later, and even how to attract the spotlight.

But now, just because of a word from Shi Yaoguang, all that could go down the drain, and of course, he was unwilling to let that happen!

"Just because..." Shi Yaoguang dragged out her tone, her face beaming with a message.

——Contempt!

The male reporter, on receiving the "royal disdain" from Shi Yaoguang’s gaze, felt anything but comfortable.

But what could he do about it, as stifled as he was?

At heart, he was timid.

The aura Shi Yaoguang emitted directly suppressed him.

Not to mention under the butler’s watchful eye, he didn’t dare to make any excessive moves, only able to seethe with quiet rage, accusing Shi Yaoguang with a tone of sorrowful anger.

"Just because I am richer than you. It’s not just Moxin Magazine I can buy at any time, but the whole Moxin Publishing Company. If you ask me why, well... I suppose that’s confidence for you."

After speaking, she glanced at him coolly and slowly exhaled two words, "Convinced yet?"

Convinced yet?

Of course, he was not convinced.

But what could he say?

Apart from maintaining a smile, he couldn’t think of anything else.

If she could even buy the parent company, what was he but a mere employee, a nobody?

And yet... the male reporter still felt incredibly wronged.

But he wasn’t completely powerless.

He had his own little schemes, his mind ticking rapidly.

Not being able to make money was not a big deal; he believed Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t have it easy either.

As long as he released her disgraceful demeanor from this moment, a large number of netizens would undoubtedly boycott her.

Perhaps by then, without him having to lift a finger, Shi Yaoguang would come to him voluntarily.

Asking for his public forgiveness.

At that point, he could set any terms he wanted.

Thinking of this, the reporter’s heart blazed with excitement.

Even uncontrollable tears began to fall slowly from the corner of his mouth; this was the proof of his excitement.

Imagining the scene where he would marry a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life, he swallowed hard.

His eyes brimmed with madness.

He...

Was about to make it big!

However, fantasies are after all just fantasies.

One must return to reality.

And reality is always so cold and merciless.

When he came back to his senses, what he faced were Shi Yaoguang’s cold, emotionless eyes.

"What sweet dreams are you having?"

The words she uttered were equally sharp.

Which annoyed him to no end.

He couldn’t help but wish, if only the online outrage would come faster.

Then he could ascend to the heavens...

The reporter’s fantasies were pretty, but reality is often cruel.

Was Shi Yaoguang’s attitude arrogant?

Arrogant indeed!

But she had the right to be arrogant because she had the capital to back it up.

Not only did she have the capital, she was arrogant in a way that was justified and full of confidence.

In such a scenario, who could criticize her?

Leaving other things aside, just look at how the male reporter came in and tried to pin the blame on her head; any netizen with a brain wouldn’t take his side.

As for those who mindlessly support the male reporter...

If they’re brainless, why bother about them at all?
