Chapter 84
Qi Mo finally finished the phone call. His eyes scanned the room, but he didn't see Sheng Mumu anywhere.
Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door from outside.
Opening the door, Zhang Housekeeper stood outside.
He held out the tray respectfully, with a subtle laugh in his tone:
"Sir, this is prepared by Madam for you. She asked me to tell you to remember to moisten your throat after being on the phone for so long."
On the tray, a bowl of honey pear slices was steaming hot.
In an instant, the man's ink black pupils were softened by the faint steam.
In a low, gentle voice he asked:
"Where's Madam?"
"Madam went out in her car," Zhang Housekeeper recalled. "Madam was on the phone when she went out. It seems like she mentioned going to discuss work."
Qi Mo thought for a few seconds and quickly figured it out.
With her impulsive personality, she most likely had a sudden idea and wanted to discuss it with someone.
Qi Mo lightly hmm'd and brought the soup back to the bedroom.
The outer layer of the bowl spread warmth to his palms.
The man lowered his eyes, his long lashes concealing the gentle light in his eyes.
He took a spoonful of the sweet syrup.
A strand of warmth also rippled through his heart.
Sweetness rose up.

The "One Bouquet for Life" brand was successfully launched.
In the Madam group chat that didn't miss any news, the ladies excitedly discussed:
-【Congratulations Madam Qi for being the first madam in our group to successfully start a business.】
-【Building 12 sends congratulations. [Flower][Clapping hands]】
-【Haha, Building 5 also sends congratulations.】
-【Madam Qi, I admit I had some misunderstandings about you before, thinking you were just playing around with the flower shop. I didn't expect that in just a few months, you've managed it into a brand, and done it so well. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up]】
-【Today when I was getting my beauty treatments, I heard people next to me talking about Yueji Flower Shop, and I proudly told them that it was opened by our district's madam [Proud][Laugh out loud]】
-【I already got my husband to buy a 'One Bouquet for Life', using up his one-time purchase chance. [Covering laugh]】
-【Seeing Madam Qi's resounding business success, I also got the idea of starting my own business.】
-【I'll be honest with you, recently I've been thinking of opening a snack shop. Want to do it together?】
Su Tingran felt Sheng Mumu made sense, but was still worried. She asked:
"Mumu, have any strange people with a 'l' in their name appeared around you recently?"
Perhaps Su Tingran had been watching too many mystery shows lately, thinking to analyze the person's identity from their online name.
Sheng Mumu murmured: "l?"
Among all the people she knew, three had an l in their names.
Liu Zhenzhen, Sheng Lei, Qiao Li.
Sheng Lei was still in jail, it couldn't be him.
Liu Zhenzhen was just a high schooler.
Although they had conflict before, they had clarified face-to-face. Liu Zhenzhen was probably avoiding her, there's no reason she would take the initiative to stir up trouble.
Plus, most crucially.
Sheng Lei and Liu Zhenzhen couldn't possibly appear in the Xiyu Yue Court madam group chat.
So the only one left with an l in their name who could appear in the madam group was Qiao Li.
Qiao Li's face appeared in Sheng Mumu's mind.
Recently, Feng Yaoqin had been coming over every few days, eating meals together with them.
She would occasionally bring Qiao Li along.
Through several interactions, Sheng Mumu had a great impression of Qiao Li, she was a very outstanding girl.
Usually quiet, you could tell she was very smart and clever.
Sheng Mumu didn't believe Qiao Li would be [l], and she didn't have any motive or reason to sabotage Yueji either.
Sheng Mumu pursed her lips and slowly said:
"Among the people I know, there are none that can be associated with the letter 'l'. Perhaps l doesn't represent a name, but has some other meaning."
After chatting with Su Tingran a bit more, Sheng Mumu hung up.
She decided to not agonize over finding out who [l] was for now.
Even if [l] was standing in front of her now, there was no evidence to accuse the other party of hiring internet water armies to smear Yueji.
She couldn't confront someone just because they forwarded news in the group chat, or said a couple things related to her.
At present, dealing with Yueji Flower Shop's PR crisis was more important than finding [l].
On the other side.
Qi Group headquarters building, top floor CEO office.
"President Qi."
The executive assistant knocked and entered, handing his phone to Qi Mo. His speech urgent:
"There is bad news spreading online about Madam's company."
