Chapter 52: The Incident Settles
Although it sounded different, the manager of the hot pot restaurant didn't think much about it, and really thought that the woman who called was Kong Miaomiao, the assistant to the president of the Zhan Group.
Diao Ranran was originally worried that her fake identity would be exposed on the spot, but she didn't expect that this manager would really mistake her for Kong Miaomiao, so everything would be better, God really helped her.
"Where, my colleagues love your hot pot, and I want to thank you for giving us discounts every time, and Mr. Lian Zhan is full of praise for your food and service. ”
She thought about it, first put on a high hat for the other party, and then quietly led the topic to Zhan Xingchuan's body. The reason why he wanted to make this call was that Diao Ranran wanted to know if Zhan Xingchuan went to this hot pot restaurant with someone else and with whom.
In fact, deep down in her heart, there may already be an answer. However, she didn't know why, she just didn't want to believe it, but she couldn't help it, and wanted to use all kinds of ingenuity to verify whether her guess was the same as the truth.
Hearing her praise, the manager's face suddenly smiled like a flower, and he hurriedly said: "This is not bragging, looking at the whole Zhonghai, whether it is northern hot pot or Sichuan hot pot, our family is absolutely first-class." A few days ago, Mr. Zhan came here and specially tried our new spicy butter pot base, and his female companion was full of praise, "
Diao Ranran's heart tightened, it seemed that he really went, and the ticket corresponded to this meal.
She bit her lower lip and was silent for a few seconds, her heart beating so fast and heavy that she felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. Taking a few deep breaths and trying to keep his voice calm, Diao Ranran squeezed out a smile again, and continued to ask: "Hey, I remember that Mr. Zhan is not very good at eating spicy food, his wife is already a few months pregnant, and the doctor does not allow her to eat spicy food." Don't lie to me, everyone knows each other so well, could it be that you deliberately moved out of my boss's name in order to promote your family's new products, haha. ”
Diao Ranran deliberately pretended to smile to deceive the manager.
Sure enough, the manager was anxious and hurriedly defended: "How could I lie about this kind of thing, I was on duty at noon that day, and when the two of them came, I received it personally, I hadn't seen that woman before, she was quite thin, quite white, with big eyes and long hair." Hehe, it won't be your boss's little lover."
The manager's laughter came from the other end of the phone, Diao Ranran bit his lip stubbornly, and his mind went blank.
It's her.
Although there are thousands of women who are thin, white, big-eyed, and long-haired, there is probably only one woman who can force Zhan Xingchuan, who doesn't like spicy food, to accompany her to a hot pot restaurant.
Diao Ranran said a few words to the manager and hung up the phone.
She sat on the couch, her back soaking wet.
Sister Zhang put down Zhan Xingchuan's suit, walked down from upstairs, and when she saw Diao Ranran, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are you sweating, it's not hot today, wipe it quickly, pregnant women must not catch a cold." ”
After speaking, she hurriedly wrung the hot towel, returned, and wiped Diao Ranran's hands and face while it was hot.
"My back is sweaty, too, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Sister Zhang touched her back and found that her clothes were sticking to her skin, while her hands were cold and the temperature was frighteningly low.
"Go upstairs, change your clothes, and lie down for a while. ”
Sister Zhang couldn't help but pull Diao Ranran to stand up from the sofa, she followed Sister Zhang upstairs with a blank face, went into the bedroom, changed into clean clothes mechanically, and then lay down on the bed.
"Sleep for a while, I'll bring you soup to drink, and don't sit downstairs in the afternoon, so as not to catch a cold." ”
Seeing that her mood was not quite right, Sister Zhang had to whisper a few words of advice, and then left the bedroom.
Diao Ranran, who was lying on the bed, stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.
Her world was originally very simple, and it can even be said to be monotonous, compared to those rich second generations who studied abroad, she was not prominent, and she did not have much ambition. After experiencing the collapse of the family overnight and waking up to change the identity, in fact, her attitude towards love has not fundamentally changed, since two people love each other and are willing to enter the marriage hall, then for them, marriage should not be a grave, but should be a beautiful beginning of another experience in life.
However, the truth was too cruel and gave her a resounding slap in the face.
In an instant, Diao Ranran, who was at a loss, even had two words in his heart, divorce.
She remembers that a marriage and love expert on the Internet said that most of today's young people have poor tolerance for marriage, and as long as there is a disappointment in marriage, they will instinctively want to divorce, so the divorce rate remains high, especially for young couples in the city, many of them leave after two or three years of marriage, and they are all joking.
Diao Ranran also knew that it was wrong for him to be so reckless.
However, she really didn't know what to do.
She did everything she could, and she gave everything she could.
Her husband has an unforgettable first girlfriend, gentle, beautiful, and has had a tragic experience, which is extremely pitiful.
Even if she tried her best now, there was no way to erase the past between them, let alone make it non-existent.
Turning over slightly, a tear slipped silently from the corner of Diao Ranran's eyes.
Pregnant women are inherently sensitive and suspicious, and she is no exception. Especially, now that she knows that Zhan Xingchuan is still dating Yu Youwei in private, her heart is even more painful, as if she has fallen into the endless whirlpool of darkness, and she will never be able to see the light again.
All the blows followed, and she really felt, too tired
Lu Qinghuan did not deceive anyone, since he contacted Diao Ranran, he sent someone to take charge of the acquisition of "Sulphur See", and paid close attention to the progress of the acquisition.
Not only that, but he even asked the people in the public relations department of Jiahuang Entertainment to spend money to eliminate some false reports about toxic masks on the Internet, in order to minimize the negative impact of the brand. Through a series of deletion of posts, keyword removal, reduction of vocabulary associations, etc., soon, some news on the Internet disappeared, and some links clicked in, showing that the post did not exist, or the content had been cleaned up.
After all, these people are from professional backgrounds, and they usually do a lot of publicity for artists, write press releases, and withdraw negative reports, so after Jiahuang Entertainment's people intervene, the effect is very amazing.
At the same time, the official statement of the company was also reprinted and published by a number of heavyweight media, and at the same time, the report of the National Quality Inspection Center was widely advertised, dispelling many people's doubts and speculations.
Soon, sales of products were also restored, and although sales were slightly affected, the overall decline was not significant. Even, in some areas, almost completely without impact.
The most important thing is that I don't know if it was Lu Qinghuan's instructions, even Lu Qingyu, who has always been too lazy to post his status, posted a Weibo on his personal website with content in support of "Sulphur See", and advertised "Alice in Wonderland" for his endorsement. As a result, on the same day, there was another small explosion in the sales of limited edition perfumes, which shows that the power of idols is terrifying.
Moreover, about an hour after Lu Qingyu posted Weibo, Jiang Hanling and several other artists also reposted his Weibo. For a time, the number of reprints on this Weibo was as high as 200,000, the comments exceeded 100,000, and the number of likes was close to 500,000, and the popularity has remained high.
Although a small number of netizens questioned it or simply sneered in the comments, the vast majority of fans are still willing to believe and support their idols, thinking that the so-called "mask killing incident" is just being used by others and deliberately rendered to attract people's attention.
In addition, there is even better news, the people in Zhanxingchuan found out that Wu Xiaoming's economic situation was very problematic, and some neighbors secretly said that they heard Wu Xiaoming beating topaz, and it seemed that they forced her to go to her mother's house to borrow money and pay off gambling debts for him.
Following these two clues, the image of a good husband who loves his wife and wants to ask for an explanation for his wife who died in vain is becoming more and more untenable, and even many unrelated people feel that Wu Xiaoming just wants to take advantage of his wife's accidental death to take the opportunity to ask for a large amount of compensation to satisfy his selfish desires.
All kinds of evidence were placed in front of him, and in the end, as a last resort, Wu Xiaoming had no choice but to give up the prosecution.
The detailed forensic examination was finally given a week later, and Topaz had suffered from severe asthma before his death, and had been malnourished for a long time, worked hard, and suffered from heart disease. On the day of her death, she worked overtime in the mall, her body was extremely tired, and when she came home from work, she felt very tired, so she took a shower without dinner, and then made a mask, because of an asthma attack, which led to a heart attack, which eventually led to accidental death.
However, Zhan Xingchuan would not let him go so easily, but asked the lawyer team to prepare and asked to continue the lawsuit, he wanted to sue Wu Xiaoming for defamation, and asked him to apologize in public and pay one yuan in compensation.
Of course, this one-yuan compensation just means that he is not short of money at all.
Wu Xiaoming stealing chickens and rice is not a recipe for rice, as for how the court will decide, it is not for Zhan Xingchuan and Diao Ranran to worry about, he has already entrusted the lawyer team with full authority, and several gold medal lawyers will not be unable to win such a small lawsuit, otherwise they should not be mixed.
The case, which caused a storm in the city, gradually calmed down, and the news about Jiahuang Entertainment's acquisition of Diao's cosmetics company also spread.
The efficiency of Lu Qinghuan is very high, half a month later, the procedures that should be taken are almost complete, the acquisition ceremony is about to be held, and Diao Ranran, who has been resting at home for many days, has to appear in front of the public again.
