Chapter 550 Turning What Was Make-believe into Truth!
“Fang Qiu actually released his phone number on Weibo?”
Jiang Miaoyu widened her eyes as she stared at the new post sent by Fang Qiu. She gawked at Fang Qiu with surprise and remarked, “Have you lost your mind? You have so many followers on Weibo, and now there are so many people who are certainly unwilling to let you off the hook. Won’t your phone ring all day after you released your number to the public?”
“Hehe.”
Fang Qiu chuckled and said, “Am I that silly? This phone number was indeed publicized, but before the release, I had changed its settings. Anyone who calls this number only gets to hear ‘the subscriber you dialed is busy’. So, don’t worry.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Miaoyu nodded with understanding. Then, her expression altered as her previous worry was replaced by a new round of irritation. She demanded angrily, “How come I don’t know this number of yours? You actually have another phone number?”
“This is the number I just bought, isn’t it?”
Fang Qiu hurriedly explained, “How could I tell everybody my real phone number?”
“When did you buy it?”
Jiang Miaoyu pressed him.
“When I go to the toilet after the meeting,” Fang Qiu answered at once.
In fact, he did not buy a new number. It was all because his mobile phone had this function. He could register some unique phone numbers that belonged exclusively to himself. Of course, the numbers he registered would not overlap with any other phone numbers in the market. When others made calls with those numbers, they could still get through Fang Qiu’s phone.
Now Fang Qiu couldn’t help but feel grateful that Li Ji had really given him an excellent cell phone!
“But, if a girl who claims to be your girlfriend in high school does call this number…”
Jiang Miaoyu gazed at Fang Qiu, stunned by her own words before she could finish the sentence.
“How could there be any real girlfriend?”
Fang Qiu said with a grin, “All the callers who claim to be my girlfriend are frauds. Or else, no one will call me at all. Even if someone dials the number, it will be some fans who are particularly curious about this event. So, as long as I released this new number to the public, I can just take a seat and wait for the fish to take the bait!”
“Oh, I see.”
Jiang Miaoyu quickly picked up the situation. She nodded at once, saying, “No wonder you are my boyfriend. You’re so smart!”
“Certainly.”
Fang Qiu smiled triumphantly, and then said with a gloomy face, “However, the guy hiding behind the scenes has stirred up rounds and rounds of unnecessary trouble for me with those fabricated dark stories about me. Obviously, he wants me cornered. But I can’t be trampled upon like this.”
“Surely that’s true. But what can you do?” asked Jiang Miaoyu, raising her eyebrows.
“I’ll make a call.”
Fang Qiu smiled, took out his mobile phone, and directly dialed the phone number of He Gaoming.
“Hello?”
When the call got through, He Gaoming’s voice came through.
“It’s me,” said Fang Qiu.
“Of course, I know it’s you.”
He Gaoming snorted and said, “I’ve watched the news about you. You dude is not ordinarily wicked. Since I saw you donate money, I’ve always thought you’re a good person. But I never knew that you turned out to be a love rat, the very despicable kind!”
“Enough.”
Fang Qiu twitched his mouth.
“Haha.”
He Gaoming laughed out loud and said, “Don’t take it personally. But I have to say that you really attract so much slander and malice. They can easily blame anything bad on you. You are still wet behind the ears. But they already said that you were a love rat. Why don’t these people come and look for me? I’m also a genius in smearing people’s reputation, aren’t I?”
Fang Qiu didn’t want to bicker with him and so he asked directly, “How much do you want?”
“One hundred thousand.”
He Gaoming immediately stopped laughing and said, “In normal cases, given our relationship, I shouldn’t have collected the money from you. But I’m a bit tight recently. Plus, considering that you don’t have time to donate money for the time being, I intend to ask you for an extra amount of money and help you donate tens of thousands.”
“Deal.”
Fang Qiu nodded at once and said, “I need to know who’s trying to defame me behind my back. I want details!”
“No problem,” He Gaoming answered and hung up the phone.
“Who is it?” asked Jiang Miaoyu.
“A very brilliant private detective,” said Fang Qiu.
On the internet.
Because a great number of people were paying attention to this matter, the moment Fang Qiu posted the new post, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Seeing Fang Qiu’s post, everyone was dazed at once.
Then, they all laughed.
“Damn it. What a brilliant reply!”
“Holy shit, this reply is absolutely amazing!”
“What a domineering reply. I think Fang Qiu has nothing to hide. He even published his phone number. Where is the woman who said Fang Qiu has defiled and abandoned her? Hurry up to call Fang Qiu.”
“Show your face now and let me see what you look like!”
For the moment, netizens began to tease the author of that article.
They all urged the person who claimed to have been made use of and kicked away by Fang Qiu to call Fang Qiu as soon as possible. Fang Qiu had even released his phone number, which clearly showed that he would take the responsibility if there was really such a person!
There was no doubt that this was the strongest counterattack against those who defamed him!
The key point was that Fang Qiu replied almost instantly, and he didn’t give these bombs too much time to brew. This was enough to prove that he was honest and did not seek help from any public relations team.
Nevertheless, the only drawback of this move was that Fang Qiu actually got his phone number exposed.
This was truly a windfall!
After hesitating for a long while, some fans drew out their cell phones one after another and dialed Fang Qiu’s number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy. Please dial again later.”
Every person who made the phone call heard the same prompt.
The prompt made everyone sigh with emotion.
“If this call can get through, the sun will rise from the west.”
“The ten million fans are real indeed. If each of them makes a call at a time, it will cost 10,000,000 minutes, which equals 6944 days. That will be 19 years!”
“There are just too many people making the call, aren’t they?”
