111: Mad Bees and Butterflies

Zhang Mantong also received messages from Director Tan and others.

Tonight was Jijing Media's annual meeting!

Chen Qiu would attend, but he would be a bit late.

In the group chat for the signed influencers of Jijing Media that she had just joined today, the speed at which messages were scrolling was enough to make one's head spin.

Stopping to look, almost all of them were related to Chen Qiu.

This group of people seemed determined to leave a good first impression on Chen Qiu!

Seeing this, Zhang Mantong immediately thought of the thirsty looks those Female Streamers had given Chen Qiu this morning.

If it was like this with just the Female Streamers, adding these signed influencers, Zhang Mantong didn't dare imagine how many beauties would try to get handsy with Chen Qiu today!

At the thought of this, Zhang Mantong couldn't sit still.

After getting ready and dressing up, she prepared to head out to Jijing Media's annual meeting.

She didn't expect to run into Shao Shushuang coming home just as she was leaving.

"Why are you so late today?"

"I have something to do and need to go out. Remember not to lock the door tonight."

Zhang Mantong said casually while looking down to put on her shoes.

Then, Shao Shushuang's slightly cold voice reached her ears.

"What, going to see President Chen again?"

"Yes... huh?"

Zhang Mantong didn't react for a moment; with her mind full of Chen Qiu, she instinctively replied.

But as soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

How did Shao Shushuang know?

Zhang Mantong raised her head stiffly, only to see her best friend standing before her with a cold expression, eyes full of anger as she stared at her.

Zhang Mantong's heart skipped a beat!

It's over!

Does she know about my relationship with Chen Qiu?!

"Hehe..."

Zhang Mantong let out a dry laugh.

"Shu Shuang, you're not angry, are you? I only met President Chen today..."

She still harbored a bit of hope.

Thinking she must have been exposed when she went to the Cultural Industry Group today, maybe she could still hide it.

"Today?"

However, what answered her was Shao Shushuang's disappointed and angry voice.

She pointed at the Trek bicycle and said coldly.

"Did President Chen buy this bicycle for you today too?"

Feeling guilty, Zhang Mantong avoided Shao Shushuang's sharp gaze and closed her eyes.

It seemed she couldn't hide it today.

"Shu Shuang, I really didn't mean to keep it from you!"

"Before that, I really didn't know about the relationship between President Chen and you."

She spoke sincerely.

Hearing this, Shao Shushuang gritted her teeth, her heart turning cold.

Before coming home, it was all speculation.

Even if there were many coincidences and traces to support it, there was no solid evidence.

Emotionally, Shao Shushuang was still more inclined to believe her guesses were false.

But she didn't expect that with just a slight probe, Zhang Mantong would admit it so bluntly!

Shao Shushuang took a deep breath, pressed Zhang Mantong down onto the living room sofa, and looked down at her.

"Now, tell me everything about how you two met!"

Intimidated by Shao Shushuang's aura, Zhang Mantong obediently confessed.

Half an hour later.

Shao Shushuang sat on the sofa, her vision darkening.

She never expected that the culprit behind the two meeting was actually herself.

If she hadn't asked Zhang Mantong to help deliver documents that day, her best friend would never have met Chen Qiu.

"How far have you two gone?"

"We've done it."

Zhang Mantong's brief and clear words made Shao Shushuang's chest heave violently.

"Even though you knew later that he was my boss and my blind date... you still slept with him?!"

She said through gritted teeth.

Zhang Mantong, who was going for total honesty, spoke up weakly.

"We did it, but we didn't sleep together..."

Shao Shushuang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

After realizing what she meant, she felt another wave of chest tightness.

Was this woman trying to anger her on purpose? Was it necessary to mention that?

"Zhang Mantong, what kind of attitude is this?!"

Hearing Shao Shushuang's still strongly accusatory tone, Zhang Mantong also became a bit unhappy.

"Shao Shushuang, don't look down on me like that!"

"Doesn't this ultimately come down to your own problem?"

"If you hadn't had those bad habits during the blind date, would you have pushed Big Brother away?"

Shao Shushuang's eyes widened.

She's already calling him "Big Brother"; she must be trying to anger her on purpose!

"He's your former blind date and your boss, true, but in terms of pursuit, I was first!"

"I didn't stop you from pursuing Big Brother, did I?"

"You're not with him either!"

"So what if I was a bit faster?!"

"Although I felt a bit sorry for you at first, if I hadn't spoken up for you later, would Big Brother have agreed to have dinner with you?"

"Where do you think your glory over the past two days came from?!"

The more Zhang Mantong spoke, the more satisfied she felt, her beautiful eyes brightening!

That's right!

She had held hands, kissed, and given her body!

Compared to Shao Shushuang, Chen Qiu's former blind date, she was the "main wife" no matter how you looked at it!

Shao Shushuang's fists had originally been clenched tight.

Hearing the end, she was suddenly taken aback.

"That time, it was you who spoke up for me?"

Zhang Mantong gave a soft snort.

"When you called, I was... right beside him!"

Shao Shushuang's expression instantly became much more complex.

"Then, did he also know about the relationship between me and you before?"

Zhang Mantong's expression was a bit hesitant.

"Before I said anything, he probably didn't know."

Shao Shushuang took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a bit lost.

Her high spirits over the past two days had given her a new goal.

She had even formulated a detailed plan to "conquer" Chen Qiu!

As it turns out, she had only just started running, while her best friend had already reached the finish line!

And if it really was Zhang Mantong who put in the effort to persuade Chen Qiu, then it made no sense for her to take her resentment out on her.

Just as Zhang Mantong said, it all came down to the seeds she herself had sown, which had now borne fruit.

"Then what should I do?"

Shao Shushuang murmured lostly.

"You just keep on seducing him."

At that moment, Zhang Mantong's nonchalant voice came from beside her, making Shao Shushuang's eyes widen.

"???"

She looked at her best friend with a head full of question marks.

What did those words mean?!

"Shu Shuang, I'm not being sarcastic. Feel free to make your move; I definitely won't get in your way."

Seeing Zhang Mantong's sincere expression, Shao Shushuang was even more dumbfounded.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

Zhang Mantong chuckled and asked in return.

"Do you know what kind of person you're pursuing?"

"Shu Shuang, you don't actually want to tie him firmly to your side, do you?"

Shao Shushuang's heart skipped a beat.

She suddenly realized that her best friend seemed much more clear-headed than she had imagined.

"Given Big Brother's age, looks, wealth, and power, what do you think women are to him?"

"You only see me, but you probably don't know how many wild bees and butterflies are around him..."

Zhang Mantong as she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and abruptly looked up.

"Oh no!"

She slapped her plump thigh, looking a bit panicked.

"I've been arguing with you here for over half an hour; the annual meeting at Extreme Realm started ages ago!"

Zhang Mantong took out her phone and glanced at the group chat, finding that ten minutes ago, a bunch of people had spammed messages saying President Chen had arrived.

"No, I have to get there right away!"

She stood up abruptly. Seeing this, Shao Shushuang looked at her in surprise.

"What annual meeting?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Mantong pulled her up as well.

"What are you pulling me for?"

Shao Shushuang was full of confusion.

"Taking you to see those wild bees and butterflies!"
