Chapter 223 Zheng Ran's White Moonlight
Zheng Ran's lips moved slightly: "The sea is so vast, and there are undercurrents, how could it possibly be found?"
……
Su Qi did not rewind time, but instead sat in the transfer space thinking.
So this was the real reason for the Gu family's downfall, and it was also because of this that Gu Yan was living under the Shen family's roof.
She held her head in her hands, troubled for a while, before suddenly realizing what had happened.
Zheng Ran's white moonlight is Gu Yan.
Gu Yan had been guiding her to resemble her. Someone had reminded her that she and Gu Yan looked very similar, but if you removed the short hair that reached her ears, they wouldn't look so alike.
"Therefore, Gu Yan has always been training me as her substitute and sent me to Zheng Ran's side."
When Gu Yan entered the Shen family, it was right when the original owner of this body had a fight with Shen Chaohuai and went to Zheng Ran.
Zheng Ran discarded Gu Yan once she was no longer of any use to him, but he still couldn't forget her. After all, the value of someone he had spent five years pursuing was different from that of those rich women who got married in a flash.
Su Qi felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it. What exactly was this woman, whom she had almost completely ignored, planning to do with her?
[Your data has been rolled back.]
She returned to the point where she had spoken with Zheng Ran, who looked at her and said, "I think I saw you..."
Su Qi stood up: "There was a drug in the coffee just now, and you drank a sip."
He frowned slightly and chuckled, "I misjudged you."
"But why did you drug me?"
Su Qi raised her coffee cup and brows: "Of course, it's to do some unspeakable things to you."
After she rambled on in a serious manner, Zheng Ran actually believed her: "So, you accept me, right?"
"No, something's missing."
"What's missing?" Zheng Ran asked anxiously, as if he desperately wanted to have her.
Su Qi slowly approached: "Didn't you say you wanted to promote me? I want to be a top star."
“Okay, I’ll help you.” Zheng Ran’s eyes were firm: “Keep your promise. Once you become a top star, you’ll be mine.”
"It's a word."
Su Qi picked up her bag and walked out, a triumphant smile on her face.
[Was Master really serious just now?]
"A delaying tactic? Your master has never kept his word. Do you expect me to be serious?"
【…】
When she got home, she threw her bag onto the sofa, and the phone suddenly rang.
"Su Qi!" Lynn's shout made her eardrums vibrate: "What have you been doing? Why are so many business partners coming to our door lately?"
Su Qi opened the message sent by Lynn, which contained a list of more than one hundred projects, including fifteen film offers and thirty television drama offers, almost monopolizing all the film crews, large and small, across the country.
Not counting business contracts, variety shows, etc., there are so many appearances that even a year's schedule wouldn't be enough to fill them all.
"You decide for yourself. Which project do you want to take on?"
Su Qi suddenly realized that the reason for so many announcements might be that Zheng Ran was secretly helping. However, this was nothing unusual; it was just Zheng Ran's usual tactic—to give people some good things first, and then to make the final move.
After looking at the long list, she saw a variety show project: the fourth season of the dating reality show "We May Be".
She paused, then asked, "Why is there still a fourth season?"
Logically speaking, given the numerous changes in previous seasons, neither the investors nor the guests dared to participate.
I guess it's because this project is profitable. It's the same principle as being famous even if you're not famous – as long as you have traffic and can monetize it, you can continue doing it smoothly.
Being criticized isn't scary; what's scary is being ignored.
Su Qi narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she understood something, because Zheng Ran was the mastermind behind this dating reality show, and the events of the previous season had already become common knowledge.
If she could expose Zheng Ran's rise to power through a variety show, she could just take him down in one fell swoop.
However, this is not easy. Zheng Ran currently wields immense power, with industries affecting the entire city of Hong Kong. If something happens to him, the city's economy will suffer a severe blow.
"I need someone to help me with this."
……
Su Qi told Shen Chaohuai what she had discovered, but Shen Chaohuai simply gave a faint "oh".
"Don't you find it terrifying? How can someone's ambition reach such a depraved level?"
Shen Chaohuai smiled, looking at her with ill intent: "Actually, you used to be like this too."
Since her past was removed, she has become very different from before, and is now more like a normal person.
"Tell me, how can I help you?"
“Expose him,” Su Qi said.
"You know, it's not easy to bring him down. He's ranked first on Hong Kong's rich list this year, with an estimated value of only 13 billion. But since you've found out, you know his funds are definitely more than 13 billion."
"This shows that he has the means to cover things up and deal with danger. If you step in, it will only make him hate you, and he won't let you off the hook."
"That's why I need to use someone else to expose his true colors and ruin his reputation first." Su Qi crossed his arms and poured himself a cup of coffee.
Whose help do you want to use?
Su Qi shook her head: "I don't have anyone in mind yet."
"Oh, right," she suddenly remembered something, "do you have any work commitments lately?"
"No, what's wrong?" Shen Chaohuai smiled. "You want to invite me to be your leading man?"
"I don't care," she rolled her eyes guiltily. "The fourth season of the dating reality show has a confirmed release date and they're recruiting guests. I'm planning to go."
“Then I’ll go too,” Shen Chaohuai said without hesitation.
Hearing him say that made Su Qi happy.
"Let's get this straight, our goal this time is to ruin his reputation."
Shen Chaohuai raised his cup to clink with hers: "Yes, Your Majesty, I guarantee to complete the mission."
Shen Chaohuai had just returned home when there was a rapid knocking on the door.
Thinking it was Su Qi, Shen Chaohuai was overjoyed and went to open the door. But when he saw the woman in front of him, his expression suddenly turned cold.
"What are you doing here?!"
Shen Qingyue knelt down and begged him, "Brother, good brother, you are my only family, please help me."
"I want to make a comeback, I want to continue being an artist."
Shen Chaohuai pushed her away, looking down at her: "You ruined your own chance; no one forced you to cause trouble."
With red eyes, Shen Qingyue kept shaking her head and apologizing, "I was wrong... I was really wrong. I shouldn't have done so many bad things. It's all my fault... It's all my fault..."
He sneered, "A comeback? How do you expect me to help you?"
"You can't get film and television resources. There are very few female artists available right now, and they've been monopolized by top artists."
"I don't want to act in TV dramas, I... I want to participate in a dating reality show!"
Shen Chaohuai frowned: "Shen Qingyue, the dating reality show was organized by Zheng Ran. You can go find your fiancé."
"Didn't you say you'd follow him no matter what? Why isn't he moved and helping you?"
Thinking of this, Shen Qingyue burst into tears: "Brother, I can't be his fiancée..."
“The shares my parents gave him in advance, along with the dowry and house I gave him after marriage, were all embezzled by him and turned into his personal property.”
Shen Chaohuai suddenly remembered that the marriage law in Hong Kong stipulated that girls had no inheritance rights, so the property acquired after marriage belonged to the man.
“He embezzled my property and, knowing I was of no use to him, began planning to annul the engagement.”
"Yes, he broke off the engagement so he could rekindle his old flame with Su Qi!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Chaohuai's eyes reddened, and blood welled up in them.
