Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Boss Shen: She Really Slandered Me Online

Shen Dang seemed to see a burst of light jump out from her eyes, twinkling in front of him like a firefly’s light.

Those always cold phoenix eyes carried a different charm now.

He leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed and lazily aristocratic, "Why would I lie to you?"

"No, it can’t be that simple," Qiao Xi glanced at him coldly; she was almost beguiled.

She couldn’t say she fully understood Shen Dang as a person, but for such a good project, he truly had no reason to refuse.

For the sake of his wife?

Who would believe that?

Do you believe it?

Even Qiao Xi herself didn’t believe it.

She wasn’t that vain.

Besides, he had said he was a businessman.

Qiao Xi’s skeptical gaze swept over him, "What did you do?"

Qiao Zhenbin seemed pretty angry just now.

Shen Dang clicked his tongue, somewhat surprised, "Didn’t expect you to notice, Miss Qiao is so clever; why not keep guessing?"

This damn man, Qiao Xi was really infuriated, and gritted her teeth, "The light’s green."

The car slid forward, and Shen Dang chuckled indifferently, "I just suggested to President Qiao to give me the project. The capable should take it, shouldn’t they?"

"?" What’s so joyous about that?

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but scoff sarcastically, "Boss Shen is indeed a businessman, his calculations are crystal clear."

Quite ruthless, wanting to monopolize Qiao Zhenbin’s project.

But this was indeed Boss Shen’s style.

Qiao Xi looked at the demonic man beside her, "He didn’t agree, did he?"

Shen Dang raised his eyebrows, his tone lazy and indifferent, "Guess, I told you to guess, didn’t I?"

Qiao Xi somewhat disliked his lazy demeanor but his mastery over any situation to achieve his ends, with no personal considerations.

But perhaps that’s for the best.

Qiao Zhenbin hoped to turn his fortunes with this project; if he ultimately handed it over to Shen Dang, he would just lose another step up.

Qiao’s was still Qiao’s.

Qiao Xi couldn’t tell how she felt at the moment.

She lowered her gaze, concealing the emotions in her eyes.

The ride passed without another word.

Until the car stopped at Sheng Birch Mansion.

Shen Dang leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, and slowly blew out a ring of smoke, his exquisite jaw slightly lifted, "Qiao Group belongs to your family. Do you want your family’s enterprise to disappear from Hai City?"

The two faced each other across the night’s hot yet gentle breeze, Qiao Xi’s beautiful eyes subtly colored as she smiled coldly with curled lips, "If I were as rich as Boss Shen, I too would want to take the project from my dad’s hands. Sadly, I’m not Boss Shen."

Aside from buying properties, her money went elsewhere.

Shen Dang’s lips curled into a thin smile, "Just tell me if you want it or not, yes or no."

"Whether I want it or not, what difference will it make."

Anyway, she absolutely wouldn’t let those executioners get away!

In the end, Qiao Xi didn’t give a clear answer, simply gave Shen Dang a flat look, and turned to leave.

Qiao Xi went upstairs, turned on the lights, took off her shoes, and walked barefoot to the sofa to sit down.

She took a sip of water to calm down, thinking about Shen Dang’s dark, inky gaze as she turned away.

Hmph!

Just thinking about him soured her mood!

Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa and lazily dialed a number.

The call was quickly answered, "What’s up?"

"The project Qiao Zhenbin was hoping for probably won’t get the investment."

"How so?"

Thinking of that man gave her a bit of a headache, Qiao Xi massaged her temple, "IDC Capital’s Shen Dang wants to control the project independently. It’s likely Qiao Zhenbin will hand it over to him. We’ll take our time with our plan."

"Alright, got it," the voice paused, "Xixi..."

"Hmm?"

The person on the other end seemed to want to ask something but ultimately held back.

"Rest early."

"You too."

Qiao Xi took a shower. When she woke up the next day, her WeChat was flooded with messages from Bei Bei.

She had asked Bei Bei to keep an eye on the online news regarding Jian Yi, and now it was finally out.

She glanced at it and then called Bei Bei, "How are things now?"

Getting fired up about gossip, Bei Bei said excitedly, "Online, everyone is speculating whether Jian Yi has something going on with President Shen. President Shen’s company has yet to make a statement, could there really be something between those two?"

Qiao Xi pursed her lips. Goodness, Shen Dang was waiting for her to react.

"There’s nothing," she said affirmatively.

Bei Bei’s voice was hesitant, "Sister Xi, do you know something?"

"Yes."

Bei Bei continued, "Miss Jian is quite famous, and with President Shen, so the online news is getting more intense."

"I get it, leave it at that."

Qiao Xi made herself a simple breakfast. She usually disliked entering the kitchen but didn’t want to wait for delivery either.

Once the noodles were ready, Qiao Xi served them in a bowl and brought it to the dining table before opening Weibo to scroll through.

Her brow slightly furrowed. Jian Yi went to the company to find Shen Dang?

Someone captured Jian Yi appearing at the IDC Capital building, but Shen Dang didn’t show up in person.

After Jian Yi left, she publicly professed her love for Shen Dang on Weibo, and Shen Dang didn’t respond.

Self-exposing a scandal and declaring love, what a fool Jian Yi was to do such things!

But who can blame them? Shen Dang is appealing; butterflies all revolve around him.

Qiao Xi smirked, thinking she had all the evidence on her phone, when she saw a message from Shen Dang.

[Damn man: Did you see that? She really blasted me online.]

Qiao Xi was speechless at him.

Look at his tone; he seems quite happy about it.

Qiao Xi left him on read.

But she couldn’t escape; Shen Dang’s call came immediately after.

Qiao Xi took a breath and answered just before the ringing ended.

Shen Dang’s deep voice came through, sounding extremely patient, "I thought you wouldn’t answer my call."

Qiao Xi hummed vaguely, sounding as if she had just woken up, "I just woke up. What’s up?"

Shen Dang chuckled, "Didn’t see the message I sent you?"

A few seconds later.

"Ah, saw it now."

Shen Dang seemingly unaware of her little trick, "What do you plan to do now? She’s tarnishing my reputation and even deliberately came to the company to find me. I’m not clean now."

Qiao Xi was really speechless now, "If she really wanted to frame you, you wouldn’t really be helpless, would you?"

What was the point of her getting involved?

"She’s not worth my time, I’ll leave this matter to you, wife?"

"..."

That upward lilt in his tone was especially annoying.

Before she could say anything, Shen Dang hung up the call.

Assistant Gao couldn’t understand why the boss, even with rumors circulating, was still so cheerful.

He always was a paragon of virtue!

Truly beyond the understanding of us mortals.

Qiao Xi felt she had taken on a trouble. Half an hour later, she posted a clarifying statement on her own Weibo to help clear Shen Dang’s name.

Great, now that she had become a spokesperson, Jian Yi hated her even more.

The internet is a public place; after seeing her statement, Ran Jing even called to check on her.

"Xixi, you went to South City with Ah Dang a few days ago?"
