139: Chapter 139 (Completed) It was my fault for being so inconsiderate; I came back too early!

Xia Shujie scrolled through the top-rated comments under the Dudu Tea scandal video.

[Little Du, step behind me, don't hurt him!]

[Dudu Tea is shaken right in front of my face; how could I not know if it's real or not?]

[The fault is mine, not its!]

[Others want to see you ruined, but I want to see you soar. Without you, other milk tea shops would dare to charge 20 and up.]

...

Xia Shujie couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile.

"Professional, very professional."

"Qin Xun took a different path and led the narrative perfectly. He truly turned decay into magic!"

He stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the towering skyscrapers outside, and sighed.

"The best singer in the marketing world, the one with the best business vision among singers, and the best marketer among businessmen."

"These three talents have formed a closed loop."

"A true hexagon warrior!"

He let out a sigh.

"Marrying into our family wouldn't be a disservice to Xia Ning."

Suddenly.

A thought occurred to him.

"But Qin Xun turned Xia Ning's Feng Shui Fish into a dish and ate it. Could that be a bit unlucky?"

After a while.

Xia Shujie sent a message to his secretary.

[Issue an appointment letter to make An Ke a permanent employee and the manager of the Dudu Tea Flower City subsidiary, in charge of the nationwide promotion of the new store model.]

...

Flower City.

Inside the hotel suite.

Qin Xun and An Ke were playing games.

Xia Ning watched silently from the side. Seeing their seamless cooperation, which was much better than when she had played with Qin Xun earlier.

She felt a bit uncomfortable, let out a cold snort, and thought to herself.

"Indulging in play destroys one's will!"

She took out her phone and searched for "Dudu Tea" on Douyin, only to find a piece of content titled "Mi Xier Apologizes."

She clicked on it to take a look.

It turned out that Mi Xier, who had posted "Qin Xun hit someone" yesterday, had posted an apology video.

The title was.

[Mi Xier gives away 1,000 cups of lemonade at Jinshi Plaza to apologize to Qin Xun and the general public.]

In the video.

A tall, beautiful woman dressed in a bold and sultry outfit was standing in front of the Dudu Tea shop at Jinshi Plaza, calling out to passersby.

"Free lemonade here!"

"Ice-cold lemonade for free!"

...

Xia Ning played it at a low volume and glanced up at Qin Xun.

She saw that he and An Ke were in the middle of a heated battle.

"Block the bullets for me!"

"Okay!"

"I'll avenge you!"

"No need, your health is low. Run first. Wait a bit, and we'll kill him together after I respawn."

"Mhm, okay!"

Xia Ning pursed her lips and turned up the volume of the video, but she found it didn't affect Qin Xun at all.

She suddenly spoke up.

"Um... Qin Xun, Mi Xier posted a video online apologizing to you."

But she saw that Qin Xun didn't even look up.

"Yeah, okay."

"I forgive her."

The whole thing was something he had orchestrated himself to gain traffic and followers for Song Ying, so there was nothing really to forgive.

Xia Ning saw that Qin Xun still didn't look up.

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

Qin Xun still didn't raise his head.

"There's nothing to see."

Xia Ning hesitated for a moment and said.

"Mi Xier is dressed very provocatively."

Qin Xun suddenly snapped his head up, turned his face, and broke into a grin.

"Then I'll take a look."

Xia Ning: "..."

She stood up and walked toward the room, leaving behind only a cold remark.

"Childish!"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning's back and raised an eyebrow.

"Are you scolding me?"

Xia Ning's footsteps slowed slightly, but she didn't turn around. She said.

"I'm not scolding you."

Qin Xun was completely confused. He turned his head and looked at An Ke, who had a gentle smile on her face, and asked.

"Sister An, why is she scolding you?"

An Ke: "???"

She sighed in her heart.

Xia Ning was clearly scolding herself.

This Qin Xun could accurately grasp the minds of netizens and guide public opinion, but he was completely clueless when it came to a woman's heart.

What a straight man!

...

Qin Xun and An Ke kept playing games.

Xia Ning stayed in the room for a while, then came out and glanced at them. Wanting to take a walk to clear her head, she silently headed for the door.

"I'm going to get some food."

Qin Xun found it a bit strange.

"Just order takeout!"

Xia Ning: "Takeout is unhygienic."

Qin Xun: "???"

He felt as if his side hustle had been insulted.

Xia Ning opened the door, looked back at the two sitting on the sofa, and added.

"I'll be back soon."

Qin Xun didn't even look up.

"No rush, take your time."

Xia Ning's tone was firm as she repeated.

"I will be back very soon."

The door closed!

"Sister An, don't you think Xia Ning is a bit strange today?"

Qin Xun looked up at the closed door, frowning slightly. He turned to An Ke and saw that her face was a bit flushed.

"Uh... you're pretty strange too."

"Why did your face suddenly turn red?"

An Ke: "..."

No wonder Qin Xun is so talented; he must have traded his romantic EQ for it.

...

The two played a few more rounds of games and were about to take a break.

Suddenly.

An Ke's WeChat kept pinging with messages.

[Congratulations!]

[Congratulations, Ms. An!]

[Congratulations, Ms. An!]

[Confetti! Confetti!]

...

She clicked on the messages, her mouth hanging wide open. She let out a cry of surprise, covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes slowly turned red.

Qin Xun saw her crying and got a bit nervous.

"Did something happen at home?"

But he saw An Ke turn to look at him, giving him a slightly coquettish glare before bursting into a giggle.

She handed her phone to Qin Xun.

Qin Xun took it and had a look.

It was a WeChat group called "Dudu Industrial Co., Ltd."

A bunch of people were congratulating Ms. An.

Scrolling up, there was an electronic appointment letter.

The gist of it was the formal appointment of An Ke as the manager of the Dudu Tea Lingnan subsidiary, in charge of the nationwide promotion of the new store model.

Qin Xun handed the phone back to An Ke and clapped.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

"Sister An, you're so young and already in charge of a whole province, not to mention the nationwide promotion."

"In the company, doesn't that make you second only to one person and above thousands of others?"

"I'll have to cling to your coattails from now on!"

An Ke smiled through her tears.

"This is all thanks to you. It's I who should be clinging to your coattails."

Qin Xun: "I'll cling to yours."

An Ke: "I'll cling to yours."

Qin Xun: "I'll cling to yours."

An Ke: "I'll hug you!"

Qin Xun: "I'll hug you!"

An Ke: "I'll hug you!"

Qin Xun: "I'll hug you!"

...

In a cheerful atmosphere, the two complimented each other.

Suddenly!

They heard a loud "thud," which gave them quite a fright.

Turning their heads, they saw Xia Ning tossing the bag of food she was carrying into the trash can.

Xia Ning walked over with a cold face, glanced at An Ke's red eyes, and a sordid image flashed through her mind.

Her gaze finally landed on Qin Xun's face, which looked bewildered and innocent.

Her voice was cold and heavy.

"Qin Xun, it was my fault for being so inconsiderate."

"I came back too early."

Having said that, she turned and walked slowly toward the door, taking down the "Do Not Disturb" sign from behind it.

She stepped out, hung the sign on the doorknob, and slowly closed the door.

"I won't disturb you two anymore!"

"Go ahead and hug!"
