84: Chapter 84 I'm here to complain, not to flatter him!

Three in the afternoon.

Shanghai.

In a large office on the 20th floor of a majestic office building.

A thin, middle-aged man with slightly graying hair and an elegant demeanor looked at Niu Xiaojun across the coffee table, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Xiao Ju, did you fly from Haicheng to Shanghai just to tell me this?"

"You already called me to tell me about that person named Qin Xun beside Xia Ning, didn't you?"

Xiao Ju was Niu Xiaojun's nickname.

Niu Xiaojun was heartbroken.

"Uncle, that Qin Xun is truly not a good person."

"You must take this seriously!"

"Don't let Xia Ning fall victim to his schemes."

Niu Xiaojun had filed her complaint, waited for several days, and upon seeing that Qin Xun was still lively and well at the company, she was furious.

She flew straight to Shanghai to complain in person again!

Seeing Niu Xiaojun's intense resentment, Xia Shujie felt a bit strange.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

Niu Xiaojun pointed to the sparse hair on her head, trembling with anger.

"Uncle Xia, he pulled my hair in public!"

Xia Shujie glanced at her high hairline, suppressed his amusement, and nodded gently.

"Pulling your hair is indeed quite excessive."

Hearing this, Niu Xiaojun nodded repeatedly, opened Douyin, and handed the phone to Xia Shujie.

"Uncle Xia, search for Qin Xun. The first video that comes up is him soaking in a swimming pool calling someone 'baby'."

"How disgusting!"

"It's super greasy. You couldn't produce that effect without having tricked dozens of girls into bed."

When Xia Shujie heard Niu Xiaojun's complaint on the phone earlier, he had already searched for Qin Xun online and discovered that this guy was handsome and sang well.

He was indeed a quite charming young man.

If Xia Ning had finally opened up and was willing to date.

Dating Qin Xun wouldn't be too much of a loss; as long as she didn't cross the final red line, it could be tolerated.

Seeing Niu Xiaojun's angry state, Xia Shujie took the phone, pretended he hadn't seen it, and entered "Qin Xun" again.

A video immediately popped up.

Xia Shujie was startled.

In the video, the first thing that caught his eye was a beautiful woman wearing a stylish work skirt.

She was smiling, holding a few documents, and walking confidently through a large office.

The male and female colleagues around her turned their heads to look at her.

That person was actually Xia Ning!

Immediately after, Qin Xun's deep, magnetic voice-over began.

"You only smell my perfume."

The scene cut.

In the middle of the night, only Xia Ning was left in the office, working alone at the computer, covering her mouth as she yawned.

Qin Xun's voice-over was steady and slow.

"But you don't see my sweat."

"You have your rules, I have my choices!"

"You deny my present, I determine my future!"

"You mock me for having nothing, I pity you for always waiting!"

"You can look down on our youth, but we will prove whose era this is!"

The scenes kept switching along with the voice-over.

Xia Shujie's expression became solemn, and he watched intently, observing those scenes that corresponded to Qin Xun's voice-over.

When a client tried to touch Xia Ning's hand, she dodged and walked away directly.

A parent pushed over a child's drawing board, overturned the paint tray, and pointed at his nose while berating him.

A client threw away the completed proposal, and documents scattered everywhere.

And the person being scolded was none other than Qin Xun.

Immediately after, Qin Xun transformed, wearing a suit and tie, standing under the flashing magnesium lights of reporters.

He looked like a successful person!

...

Qin Xun's voice-over was calm and confident.

"Dreams are a journey destined to be lonely; there will always be doubts and ridicule along the way."

In the scene at this moment, Qin Xun threw a punch, shattering a mirror.

"But so what?"

"Even if covered in cuts and bruises, one must live beautifully!"

Qin Xun walked slowly toward the camera, stepping on the shattered glass, while wrapping bandages around his punching hand, his face confident and his tone firm.

"I am Qin Xun, and I speak for myself!"

Xia Shujie tapped the screen, pressed pause, and stared blankly at Qin Xun on the screen.

After a while.

He let out a soft sigh.

He had been in the business world for many years, and in recent years, it had become harder and harder to feel that sense of "passion," yet just now, he had felt a trace of the heartbeat of his youth.

Xia Shujie looked up and chuckled.

"This kid is even more arrogant than I was when I was young."

Niu Xiaojun gave a dry laugh, feeling that things were heading in a bad direction.

Xia Shujie glanced and discovered that the blogger named "Xiao Ying Doll" had actually reached 100,000 likes on this video.

There were over 20,000 comments.

Even though he didn't browse Douyin often, he knew that this comment-to-like ratio was extremely high, reaching a terrifying level.

Clicking into the comment section, he discovered that the netizens were absolutely fired up!

[My mom just asked me why I was kneeling while listening to an advertisement!]

[It's so inspiring! I can't wait to kick my husband out and do it myself!]

[Brother Qin Xun, have mercy! Take a break for two days! You're on the trending list more often than the Middle East war!]

[I feed myself a bag of salt.]

[Damn it! I'm going to go fight my boss right now. 3,000 yuan a month, and he just pointed at my nose and scolded me!]

[I've always wanted to quit my job and start a business, but I didn't have the courage. Thank you for making me decide to take this step. When I succeed, I'll hire you to be my spokesperson!]

[Yo! Another great quote to pad out an essay!]

[It's so freaking domineering!]

[Someone said a 'Purple Star' would descend from the heavens this year. Could it be that the 'Purple Star' isn't from the entertainment industry, but the marketing industry? A star who broke out from the marketing world?]

[My boss just scolded me for not understanding the rules of the banquet table! Screw his social etiquette, I'm just here to eat, not to toast his damn wine. I jumped straight onto the table, did a 360-degree Thomas flair, and swept all the dishes. Then I pounced on the boss and bit him down. The colleagues shouldn't think they can run either, I'll chew them all up, I'm going to eat, eat, eat, eat!]

Xia Shujie found it interesting, smiled, and saw a comment.

[I think this advertisement breaks the stereotypes people have about women in the workplace. Women can also be dedicated, capable, and career-minded. Not every beautiful woman will accept unspoken rules. Just like the line, "You can look down on our youth, but we will prove whose era this is." Inspiring, super inspiring! I feel like I'm going to become a female CEO!]

Xia Shujie pondered for a moment and thought.

"This is probably Xia Ning's inner monologue!"

"She always wants to prove something to me, but how can starting a business be that easy?"

"She has already ruined three companies and lost nearly 20 million!"

He shook his head, sighed, and looked at the stunned Niu Xiaojun.

"Xiao Ju, if only Xia Ning could be as obedient as you."

"You are so well-behaved and never think about starting a business."

Niu Xiaojun was complimented and felt a bit awkward, touching her head.

Suddenly, she heard Uncle Xia's voice again, carrying a hint of surprise.

"Why does this kid Qin Xun look more and more pleasing to me!"

"I like arrogant kids."

Niu Xiaojun's face looked as bad as if she had eaten a fly. She was here to file a complaint, not to polish Qin Xun's reputation!

She knew the company was working on some promotional video, but hadn't they just received the finished video this morning?

How did it cause such a big stir by the afternoon?

Did they hold a gun to the netizens' heads to make them like it?

At this moment, Niu Xiaojun's phone in Xia Shujie's hand was frantically popping up notification alerts. He took a glance and saw it was the Oak Company group chat.

He looked at Niu Xiaojun and asked.

"Xiao Ju, do you mind if I look at the messages in the Oak Company group chat?"

Niu Xiaojun shook her head.

"No... I don't mind."

Xia Shujie stood up, walked to the other side, sat down next to Niu Xiaojun, and placed the phone on the coffee table to operate it.

It was convenient for both of them to see.

He didn't have a habit of prying into other people's privacy; he just wanted to see Xia Ning's small company.

At this moment, in the Oak Company group chat, colleagues were reporting their battle achievements one after another.

[Report! Like count 6666!]

[Report! Like count 10,000!]

[Report! Like count 12,000!]

[Report! Like count 20,000!]

...

They were chasing each other, and the atmosphere was exceptionally heated!

Watching this, a smile appeared on Xia Shujie's face unconsciously, and he felt some comfort in his heart.

After Xia Ning opened up and started dating, her financial luck had become much better.

This business venture would probably work out.

Perhaps he should let her try the brand upgrade plan for Dudu Tea, this 10-million-yuan proposal?

Suddenly! A message popped up, and the whole group went silent immediately.

No one dared to report data anymore.

Looking at that message, the frost appeared on Xia Shujie's usually gentle face, and his expression was full of killing intent.

[Qin Xun: I've been wronged! The child in Xia Ning's belly is not mine!]
