Chapter 51 - 51 Digging His Own Grave
51 Digging His Own Grave
KT Group President’s Office
When Chu Jinchen received Shi Ran’s message, he was a little surprised.
Then he chuckled softly.
He ran his fingers over the screen, wondering how to argue back.
At that moment, the Special Assistant knocked on the door and walked in after receiving permission.
“Third Young Master, the project team said something strange happened last night in Love Warning.”
“When the guests were out on a date last night, the drone couldn’t capture the scene. The program team checked the reason and found that someone had hacked the drone.”
Chu Jinchen played with his phone, his fingers swiping on the screen from time to time, looking like he was replying to a message.
The special assistant continued, “At that time, I felt that something was wrong, so I got the group’s technical team to investigate. As expected, this person’s methods are very similar to those in Miss Shi’s television interview.”
Hearing the words ‘Miss Shi’, Chu Jinchen put away his phone and looked at the special assistant.
“When Miss Shi participated in the interview, the television station was also hacked. Also, the email from Ray that Zhou Yufan received was written by the same person.”
“The television station and Zhou Yufan got many people to investigate this hacker, but they found nothing. However, I realized that these three things are related to Miss Shi.”
“So I was wondering if it was possible that this hacker worked for Miss Shi?”
Chu Jinchen’s black eyes were unreadable. “Three things?”
“Yes, when the drone was hacked, Miss Shi and Bai Jingtian were dating…” With that, the special assistant quickly shut his mouth.
Shit!
He was so busy analyzing that he forgot about this matter!
“Date? Hacked?” Chu Jinchen narrowed his eyes, the smile on his lips gradually becoming dangerous.
The Special Assistant shivered. “Third Young Master, it only took Miss Shi and Bai Jingtian three hours to return to the villa.”
“Only three hours?” Chu Jinchen lowered his voice, his eyes secretive. “What do you think they can do in three hours?”
The Special Assistant was speechless.
Three hours…
Anything could be done.
If they wanted to.
But he wouldn’t dare say that out loud.
“Send me the information on Love Warning,” Chu Jinchen said in a low voice.
“Yes,” the Special Assistant said immediately.
He breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
But in the next second, Chu Jinchen’s muttering voice sounded.
“What do you think will happen if I participate in the romance variety show?”
The Special Assistant: “!!!”
Two days later, the first episode of “Love Warning” aired. On the day of its premiere, the viewership ratings reached 3.342%. This was also the first time that a variety show had reached more than 3% after half a year.
The scenes that had been played directly were also edited to be more interesting and vivid.
The tension amongst Shi Ran, Shi Wenfei, and Zhou Yufan surged in the show. Moreover, during the live broadcast, Shi Ran had defeated more than ten hooligans by herself.
There was also the segment where the guests could choose their dates, which everyone was looking forward to.
On the day of the broadcast, “Love Warning” went on several trending searches, and Shi Ran alone had taken up three of them.
# The Birth of Master Ran
# Shi Ran Refuses to Date Her Fiancé
## Shi Ran And Zuo Yifei Dates
At that time, Chu Jinchen was on a business trip in City F. As soon as he returned to the hotel, Qiu Yaohang sent him a WeChat message.
[Qiu Yaohang]: Tonight was the premiere of “Love Warning”. Did you watch it?
[Chu Jinchen]: Has the company closed down?
[Qiu Yaohang]…
Immediately after, Qiu Yaohang sent another video.
Chu Jinchen’s slender fingers pulled open his shirt collar and opened the video with his other hand.
In the video, Shi Ran and Zuo Yifei were in the haunted house. The background was eerie. Zuo Yifei was so frightened that he curled up into a ball and kept leaning against Shi Ran.
Shi Ran’s tone was gentle. “Why don’t you close your eyes and I’ll lead you along?”
Chu Jinchen paused and turned off the video.
However, Qiu Yaohang, who liked to dig his own grave, was still unwilling to give up.
[Qiu Yaohang]: It’s just been broadcasted, but their CP fans have already skyrocketed. Yi Ran CP. What do you think of this name?
Chu Jinchen smiled, his black eyes filled with coldness.
[Chu Jinchen]: Very good.
When Qiu Yaohang saw that word, he rolled on the ground in laughter.
He hurriedly called Ji Wenfeng and shared this interesting matter.
Ji was silent for a moment. “Have you ever thought about the consequences for what you just did?”
Qiu Yaohang’s laughter died.
His phone vibrated. He looked at it. It was his mother.
He said to Ji Wenfeng, “I have a call coming in. I’ll call you later.”
As soon as he answered, he heard his mother’s delighted laugh.
“Little Hang, come home this Saturday. Mom has arranged everything for you.”
Qiu Yaohang suddenly had a bad feeling.
He asked tentatively, “What’s happening… on Saturday?”
“Child, why are you still pretending to be confused with me? Jinchen already told me that you want to get married. Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ve already arranged it for you.”
Qiu Yaohang was speechless.
The consequences came too quickly!
And it had hit him right where it hurt.
Qiu Yaohang tried to explain himself, but his mother was too happy to listen to his words.
She only reminded him to go home for the weekend before hanging up.
Qiu Yaohang was in a mess.
He turned on his phone and looked at Chu Jinchen’s last message.
‘So his reply saying “very good” wasn’t directed at the CP name.’
Damn!
The next morning, when Shi Ran and Fang Tongtong went downstairs, Ji Wenfeng was already waiting there.
They were going to shoot the stills for Return with the King today.
The car stopped at the KT Group.
Shi Ran was expressionless as she took the mask from Fang Tongtong and put it on before getting out of the car.
The building in front of her soared into the clouds and was magnificent and the words ‘KT Group’ were very eye-catching too.
“KT Group?”
“KT is the biggest investor in the show. KT’s international photographer, Kell, is also in charge of the makeup shots. They’re in the studio on the eighteenth floor.”
Shi Ran nodded and followed Ji Wenfeng into the elevator.
The elevator door opened from the outside just as it was about to close.
The woman was wearing an elegant dress and had a good figure.
She was wearing a mask and sunglasses. Her assistant and staff surrounded her as she was escorted in.
The next moment, she took off her sunglasses and looked at Ji Wenfeng with a smile in her gentle eyes.
“What a coincidence, Wenfeng.”
“Yes.” Ji Wenfeng nodded stiffly and then introduced her to Shi Ran. “She’s the female lead of this movie, Wen Yufei.”
“Hello, Senior,” Shi Ran greeted politely.
“You’re Shi Ran? I’ve heard of your name many times. I’ve always been curious about who the artiste that Wenfeng likes is. I didn’t expect us to meet so soon,” Wen Yufei said gently.
Once they were out of the elevator, the two groups of people headed in opposite directions. Naturally, the main actor’s dressing room was near theris.
Fang Tongtong walked beside Shi Ran and was very excited. “Oh my god! I actually met Wen Yufei! She’s too gentle in person. She’s really a fairy!”
“Keep it down.” Shi Ran smiled helplessly.
“I’m too excited! She’s the top actress in our company! But I believe that Sister Ran will definitely become the next top actress,” Fang Tongtong said with a clenched fist.
This scene amused Shi Ran.
“Tchah—”
The sneer came from behind.
They turned around and saw Wen Yufei’s assistant looking at them disdainfully.
“Can I help you?” Shi Ran asked calmly.
“A mere newbie and yet she’s already ambitious. She’s not even worthy of carrying Sister Yufei’s shoes.” The assistant mocked and raised her chin arrogantly.
