93 Chapter 93 : A Wife’s Facade (1/2)
The news regarding Gong Yuming was trending for a whole month and continuous until now. The netizens even created messy make up stories and speculated that Gong Yuming might be Hongqi's mistress.
The Mao group's plan backfired since their company was completely forgotten. It was supposed to be a PR work for them yet their company wasn't even mentioned once in the trending topic.
Mao Zhilan was really angry at this flop plan. The Mao group was only mentioned in the initial articles but on the next articles, they were not mentioned anymore. It was actually her plan to create a mess between the Xing couple. Mao Fa Dai only obliged to her request and made a hefty million contract with Hongqi's company.
Mao Fa Dai actually wanted to stop this messy competition with Xiulan's company since he has greater problems to solve. Especially that the mystery hacker suddenly stopped attacking his company server. He was very anxious of the next plan and attack of the hacker. He can't even sleep at night because of the sudden disappearance of that hacker. He had to come up some plans on how to catch the hacker and build a strong firewall in his server.
Now, the Mao group had to wait for six months for Gong Yuming's contract to expire. It was such a flop that even the employees under the Mao group vehemently didn't like the idea. It was such a waste of money and time. To think that they even hired a problematic ambassador like Gong Yuming.
The old employees already have a bad judgment over Zhilan for so many years. They were treated like trash by her and she would always spend hefty amounts of money on her shopping. They really hate her and they somewhat pity their boss that he had impregnate such wretched woman that lead to his early marriage.
Their enraged judgment over her has exceeded maximum when she suddenly wanted to hire Gong Yuming as a company celebrity ambassador. They all thought she was really stupid and a bad luck.
Also, it was an open secret within the company that Mrs. Zhao was very insecure of Song Xiulan. Only the old employees knew about this since they would always hear the witch Mrs. Zhao getting angry at her husband and would always mention Song Xiulan's name.
Now they realized that she actually had to spend millions just to get her revenge and offend Song Xiulan. How could she even do this? Did she already forgot that Song Xiulan was now married to S city's wealthiest person? She was also the one who encouraged their boss to pirate Song Xiulan's programmers. They were all nervous. If ever Song Xiulan would get angry at their company, they are all doomed.
Hongqi's company continuously denied the scandalous rumor and even tried to extinguish it. But the netizens were very much eager to expose a non-existent scandal.
Hongqi was actually more worried that Xiulan might believe these rumors. He's now trying to come up with a plan on how to stop this never ending rumors about him and Gong Yuming. He could only think of kicking out Gong Yuming out of his company.
But he can't do that. His company might get a lawsuit of unfair treatment and wrongful termination [1]. It was never the best plan.
He could only think of possibly just put Gong Yuming in more out of the country projects. This way, Gong Yuming was far away from him. The more they are in the same place and event, the more people would start talking and create unnecessary rumors. He doesn't want any of that anymore and he's really worried of what his wife was thinking. He doesn't want her to believe such rumors. She was very important.
Add to his anxiety, Xiulan was very diligent and dutiful being his wife these past few days. She was mysteriously kind ever since that night she poured out her frustrations. She was so kind and very warm towards him that he can't help but to be wary. Her behavior was so exquisite. He was so curious what she was thinking. Whenever he asks her, she would always give him a charming smile and tell him that everything is fine.
For him, when a woman is silent and obedient, it means that she has a lot of things in her mind that she doesn't want to share. He's not sure if she's plotting something evil or good but either way, it makes him nervous. As long as she won't leave him, everything will be fine.
In Xiulan's side, it was actually mysteriously calm. Xiulan's public relations team has answered all the media's inquiry regarding this scandalous matter. They repeatedly answered them that the relationship between Xiulan and Hongqi are fine and it was just bad rumors.
Xiulan would always kindly posed her left hand with the extravagant wedding ring whenever she's out of her office. Paparazzis continuously tailed and followed her. Whenever the paparazzis try to question her, she would always answer them with grace and smile.
With her calm response over these scandals, the netizens have branded her as a martyr wife. They thought she was incredibly doing a good job as a kind and gracious wife because her husband was the wealthiest man and she was only afraid of him. They all speculated and judge her like they really know what was happening behind doors.
These speculations all started because most women that are married into a powerful families tend to create a façade that everything was okay in their marital life but actually everything was a mess.
The netizens might have started creating make up stories about her calm demeanor but Xiulan didn't mind them anymore. She was immune and didn't bother listening to their opinions.
