Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 72


When Han Duoer had dinner with Zhen Xi, she was just a little celebrity that not many people knew, and naturally, there was no media paying attention to her. Just like when ABA reporters photographed her, they thought it was a worthless report.

But the current situation is different. Han Duoer, who was lucky to become popular due to acting in the female supporting role in an online drama, now has more than one million fans on Weibo and has also accepted the role of the female lead in a TV drama adapted from a web novel.

Zhen Xi checked online after being attacked by the entertainment reporters, only to find that Han Duoer is very popular now.

He has a whole new level of respect for her.

After the incident, he contacted his assistant immediately and asked him to find out what was going on. The assistant was very efficient. After the morning meeting, he put the materials he gathered on Zhen Xi's desk.

"Mr. Zhen, the matter has been investigated thoroughly. It has something to do with the role that Han Duoer picked up recently." The assistant pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained, "Cai Sijie, who competed with her for the role, has a grudge because she was not selected. So, she dug out Han Duoer's previous scandals and asked the entertainment reporters to publish it."

The story is not something new. Although Zhen Xi has only invested in a few web dramas, he still has a glimpse of the entertainment industry. Stuff like this happens almost every day.

It's just that after listening to the assistant's report, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile: "You mean, eating with me is black material?"

Assistant, "……"

"I don't mean that, Mr. Zhen. It is of course Han Duoer’s great fortune that she can have dinner with you!" The assistant hurriedly praised, "It's just that in the reporter's report, your relationship was viciously vilified, affecting your image."

Zhen Xi himself saw that report on the Internet just now. It was indeed very explicit, and the malice of the person who broke the news was about to overflow from the screen.

"Mr. Zhen, do you want to send a lawyer's letter to the reporter? Mr. Song and Mr. He have done this before, and the effect is not bad."

Zhen Xi really wanted to clean up these reporters who wrote this nonsense, but he was afraid that doing so would have the opposite effect, "If I send a lawyer's letter to the reporter, will the outside world think that I really have something to do with Han Duoer? That I am protecting her?"

The assistant pushed the glasses again and said, "There is such a possibility. If Han Duoer uses this to hype up your relationship, it will be even worse."

Zhen Xi frowned. Before she became famous, Han Duoer was thinking of taking a shortcut from him. Maybe she could really do such a thing now. He thought about it for a while and said, "Then sue them together."

"...Alright President Zhen."

As soon as the assistant left, Lao Zhen's secretary came over and knocked on Zhen Xi's office door, "Junior President Zhen, President Zhen invites you to his office."

Zhen Xi, “...”

The entertainment reporter and Han Duoer must be sued! :)

"I see, I'll be there right away." Zhen Xi sent away Lao Zhen's secretary, and after some mental preparation, he went to Lao Zhen's office.

"Dad." He knocked on Lao Zhen's office door and walked in.

Lao Zhen snorted coldly, and said with a straight face, "Who is your father? Call me President Zhen."

"...President Zhen." Zhen Xi changed his words politely, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"What do you think?" Lao Zhen slammed a stack of photos onto Zhen Xi's face, "I asked Xiao Wang to check for me just now. Only now did I realize that you had dinner with so many little stars!"

Zhen Xi, "..."

Xiao Wang's ability is too strong...

He glanced at the photos on Lao Zhen's desk. He couldn't remember who some female stars were, but Xiao Wang was able to find out the photos.

Zhen Xi, "..."

"In this case, do you think I can satisfy your appetite by making appointments with four blind dates for you at the same time?" Ms. Wang Shuzhen smiled harmlessly.

“……”

Zhen Xi returned to his room and answered a call from his assistant. The assistant said that all the lawyer's letters have been sent out and the entertainment news accounts are also following up on the news on the Internet. It has basically been brought under control. Zhen Xi was very satisfied with the result. After hanging up, he went to the Internet to check the news. The news from the morning has been reduced a lot.

After exiting Weibo, he opened Moments. Several of his good friends also knew about his going on the entertainment news and even teased him on their Moments. He liked them one by one, which means he saw them. :)

After scrolling through it, he saw Zhu Ling repost this morning of a story from an official news account. The title was "Men are bad and women can't love? Girls, don't be brainwashed by men's lies anymore."

Zhen Xi, “...”

Don't know if he was thinking too much, why did he feel that she was scolding him indirectly?

He didn't like Zhu Ling's post. He returned to his contact list and clicked on Zhen Tian's chat box, "Is Zhu Ling in your bar?"

Zhen Tian: Yes, what's the matter?

Zhen Tian: By the way, after reading today's report, I realized that you are living a good life.

Zhen Xi: ...That was all nonsense written by reporters.

Zhen Tian: Do you think I believe you? :)

Zhen Xi: What do you think? :)

Exiting Zhen Tian's chat, Zhen Xi did not continue to argue with her. From the conversation just now, it can be seen that Zhu Ling must also know about today's report, so was she really criticizing him in her Moments?

He thought for a while, clicked on Zhu Ling's chat box, and sent her a message, "Are you free tomorrow?"

Zhu Ling, who was drinking in Zhen Tian's store, was stunned when she saw the news. She thought that the relationship between the two of them had ended when Zhen Xi sent her home yesterday. It seems that being released from the work group really is not simple.

Could it be that Zhen Xi wanted to pursue? Zhu Ling couldn't help thinking that although he was of a different class from her own, the rich second generation always liked to pursue something new and exciting.

What's more, he likes to invite unknown starlets to dinner so much. :)

Zhu Ling thought about it for a while and replied, "If I don't work overtime tomorrow, I have time in the evening."

President Zhen: Alright, then I will treat you to dinner tomorrow night. We have worked together for so long, and I have never invited you to dinner. I will make it up tomorrow.

Zhen Xi didn't wait for the other party to ask why he invite her to dinner and wrote down the reason himself.

Sure enough, Zhu Ling did not refuse.

Zhu Ling: Well, since President Zhen is treating me to dinner, then I must go. I will contact again tomorrow

President Zhen: [OK]

Before getting off work the next day, Zhu Ling sent Zhen Xi a message in advance, saying that she didn't have to work overtime today and could leave on time. Zhen Xi quickly replied to her message, telling her that he had reserved a private room in Tian Xia Restaurant for seven o'clock.

Most of the photos that Zhen Xi had taken were outside Tian Xia Restaurant. It seems that he really likes that place.

Zhu Ling normally clocks out at six o'clock. After the time on the computer changed from 17:59 to 18:00, Zhu Ling simply turned off the computer, packed her things, and left.

When she was going downstairs in the elevator, she happened to hear two female colleagues coming out of the elevator discussing, "The car downstairs is so handsome! Of course, the most handsome is the owner!"

"I just took a sneak shot of that handsome guy. Who do you think he is waiting for?"

"I don't know. He looks like a general manager. Maybe he's here to discuss business."

"I think he is most likely waiting for his girlfriend to get off work!"

“Does his girlfriend work in our company?”

The conversation between the two was completely cut off by the elevators. Zhu Ling lowered her eyes and thought for a while. When she got out of the company building, she saw Zhen Xi leaning on the car and waiting outside.
