Chapter 188 - 188 The System Is Frozen

188 The System Is Frozen

He Miao understood that he was referring to Xia Yan’s mother, Lu Shuang. She immediately nodded and said, “I know, Grandpa. I’ll be careful.”

Only then did Old Master Jing relax a little. He turned to Jing Yan and asked, “I heard that you’ve chosen to work with Morning Fragrance?”

When He Miao heard those two words, she immediately raised her head and looked at Jing Yan.

“Grandpa.” Jing Yan helplessly sat by the bed and sighed. “The doctor told you to take good care of your body and not to worry about your health. You know everything about us. How can you rest well?”

Old Master Jing knew that he was concerned about him, but he did not want his grandson’s good intentions to sink into the ocean. He smiled at He Miao and said, “Do you know who the spokesperson that morning fragrance company chose previously was?”

He Miao’s mind was active. Since Grandpa Jing had brought this matter up to ask her, it must have something to do with her. She only had to think about it for a moment before she had the answer. “It was He Wei.”

“Yes,” Old Master Jing said with a smile, “But you guys did a good job. Chen Xiang probably has her eyes on you now. It’s good for you that Jing Yan chose to work with them. No matter what you choose in the end, Chen Xiang won’t make things difficult for you.”

He Miao subconsciously glanced at Jing Yan’s tightly pursed lips, then smiled and held his hand. “Chen Xiang is the most powerful company among the new companies, but it is not necessarily the best choice for the Jing family. If something like this happens again, you don’t have to consider me. You can just choose the best choice for the company.”

“My choice will always be you.” He looked at He Miao with a burning gaze, with an undeniable determination.

He Miao did not expect Jing Yan to say something like that in front of Grandpa Jing and Butler Li. She blushed and coughed dryly. “Don’t talk nonsense,” she said, glaring at him.

Butler Li looked at his feet with a smile, pretending not to hear what they were saying. He was happy for Old Master Jing from the bottom of his heart.

Now that the two children had finally come together as they had wished, and they were so sweet, he must be the happiest person.

Seeing that Old Master Jing was accompanied by two people, Butler Li was about to go back to get lunch when he was stopped by Jing Yan in the corridor.

“Uncle Li, Li Xi’s matter happened for a reason. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“I thought it was something important.” Butler Li looked at Jing Yan’s serious expression and shook his head in amusement. I watched you grow up. How can I not know your personality? Besides, I know my own daughter very well. She must have run to you and Miss He to make trouble again. I’ll be grateful if you overlook her from now on.”

“Yes.” Jing Yan nodded slightly. He felt sorry for Butler Li, who was so old and gray at the temples. “I’ll arrange another job for her. She’ll work in the Jing family’s branch company.”

“Thank you, President Jing.” Butler Li left gratefully, his tall and straight body slightly bent. He had been with Old Master Jing since he graduated, and his health had deteriorated year by year.

He had wanted his daughter to take over his position, but she was too wild and Jing Yan could not tolerate her. He had to give up on the idea and focus on training the next butler.

At the He family house.

He Wei had just finished lunch with Old Madam He. After sending her back to her room to rest, she sat on the sofa in exhaustion.

Zhong Fei’s heart ached as she poured her a glass of milk. “You’ve been working hard with the old lady these two days. Did you delay your work?”

“What other work do I have to do?” He Wei felt angry when she mentioned this.

Ever since He Miao’s merciless counterattack, her jobs were canceled one after another, and her business partners all came to her manager to terminate their contracts. This caused her to be idle at home with nothing to do. She could only use accompanying the old lady as an excuse to stay at the He family to avoid the limelight.

Zhong Fei could hear the impatience in her tone and secretly gritted her teeth. She wanted to help her daughter, but she was powerless.

People in the circle did not like to keep in touch with her. After being Mrs. He for so many years, she did not have any connections. She was really ashamed of her daughter.

“Why don’t you put some pressure on your manager?” She suggested in distress. “You can’t just stay at home all the time.”

How could He Wei not be anxious? Now, her fans’ favorability was dropping layer by layer, causing the koi system to be frozen due to an anomaly. It would take a full half a year to unseal it.

This also meant that she was now an ordinary person who was helpless. Other than relying on her manager and the small network she had accumulated, she had no other way.

But Chong Wei was really too useless. The two bad ideas he gave her in a row completely destroyed her image on the internet. Until now, she still could not get back at him.

She called Chong Wei angrily and said angrily, “How long will it take you to settle the matter last time? Are you lacking money or something? I have money!”

“Weiwei.” Chong Wei lowered his voice in slight displeasure and said lightly, “I’m trying my best to deal with your matter, but money isn’t the only thing that can help you quell public anger. You also need a sponsor who can shift public opinion.”
