[WrongThenWrong] Chapter 52.2 — Guiding Public Opinion

There were still two hours before the press conference. Cheng Liu went to a nearby hotel to get a room, took a shower, and slept for a while. 

She even thought about checking the progress of the renovation team at her villa, and she learned that the stairs had already been finished.

This was done too quickly! She deliberately calculated the payment based on the number of days worked. Why didn’t they follow common sense? Shouldn’t they have worked slower to extend the work time and increase payment??

“Thank you, customer. We appreciate your trust in us, so our renovation team has been working hard and finally finished replacing the stairs at noon today,” the leader of the renovation team said, feeling moved.

Cheng Liu: “… Actually, I’m not in a hurry.”

“This is what we should do. By the way, we have also cleaned the villa for you. We ensured that there is no dust left, so you can stay at your villa again with peace of mind.” The renovation team leader added proudly, “We are professionals!”

Even the dust was cleaned up! ! !

Young President Cheng said expressionlessly, “…Thank you.” 

She would never hire this team again for any renovation in the future!

Just as she hung up the phone, the hotel room doorbell rang.

Cheng Liu walked to the door and opened it. Outside was He Bai and the styling team he had brought.

“The venue for the press conference has been set up.” He Bai came in and looked at Cheng Liu. “Although the recording has been released, proving that Mingtai stole our technology and forcibly used it in their car’s system upgrades, but now the public opinion is nevertheless going in the wrong direction. Those people behind the scenes clearly want to take this opportunity to suppress Shenyin.”

He Bai specifically went talk to his sister this morning. Everyone thought that Shenyin Technology was destined to lose this round.

“Yeah, I understand.” Cheng Liu looked through the clothes brought by the styling team and felt dissatisfied, “I won’t wear these.”

She wanted to wear the outfit Ji Chaozhou picked for her.

“The makeup artist will stay, and the others can leave first.” Cheng Liu said to He Bai, “I’ll go back home and get my clothes.”

He Bai frowned, “There is not much time before the press conference starts, what clothes do you want to get?”

Cheng Liu said, “The same outfit I wore during the livestream last time.”

“You stay here and I’ll get it.” He Bai seemed to be used to doing this kind of thing. He asked Cheng Liu, “The door lock password is still the same?”

Cheng Liu: “…” 

It’s so annoying. She just wanted to take the opportunity to meet Ji Chaozhou!

Why couldn’t these people just go along with her plans?!

Before Cheng Liu could refuse, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was the marketing department manager who had gone to City H.

Cheng Liu answered the phone, “What is it?”

After a few words on the other end of the phone, Cheng Liu asked the other party to wait. She covered the phone’s microphone and told He Bai the address of the villa, “Go get that set of clothes for me. It’s in the closet on the second floor.”

He Bai wrote down the address and immediately turned around and left.

… …

This was the first time He Bai had learned the address of Cheng Liu’s new home, and he inevitably thought of Ji Chaozhou who lived in the villa next door.

He hasn’t met Ji Chaozhou yet, so he didn’t know what kind of person could make Cheng Liu care so much.

However, at this time, he was the only one staying beside Cheng Liu and doing things for her. Ji Chaozhou had no idea what she was doing and couldn’t provide any help at all.

Thinking of this, He Bai’s emotions became a little more stable.

He drove to Villa No. 6, got out of the car and took a look at the villa next door. As expected, the two lived very close to each other. There was only a wall between them, and there were no other residents nearby.

He Bai didn’t pause long; he entered the password to enter the villa and went to the second floor to get clothes for Cheng Liu.

In the living room of Villa No. 5, Ji Chaozhou was sitting on the sofa reading a book. He heard the sound of a car outside and thought Cheng Liu had come back.

He waited for a while, but no one came in.

Ji Chaozhou pursed his lips, finally put down the book and walked out.

As neighbors, they should also ask each other about their situation.

However, when Ji Chaozhou walked out of the gate, he found that it was not Cheng Liu’s car. He walked to the gate of the villa next door. Before he could open the gate, someone had already opened it and came out.

It was a stranger.

He Bai had quickly packed up Cheng Liu’s clothes and put them into a bag. As soon as he walked out, he saw a young man standing at the gates. He had a slender figure and his face was striking.

Almost subconsciously, He Bai knew who he was, “Ji Chaozhou?”

Ji Chaozhou’s eyes fell on the white bag on the man’s right hand. It had two layers and he couldn’t see clearly what was inside.

He moved his eyes upward, and when he saw He Bai’s face, he remembered that the other person was Cheng Liu’s chief assistant. He had seen him in the livestream that day. “Cheng Liu didn’t come back?”

“She’s busy.” He Bai pushed up his glasses and smiled politely and distantly, “Senior sister needs to change clothes, so she asked me to come and get them.”

Putting these two words together, ‘senior sister’ and ‘clothes’, coupled with He Bai’s expression and tone, it was difficult not to make people think that they were very close.

“Senior sister is still waiting for this.” He Bai smiled, “I have always heard her say that the neighbor next door is nice. I will definitely treat you to a meal if I have a chance in the future.”

He Bai’s words immediately drew Cheng Liu to his side, as if Ji Chaozhou was the outsider.

“No need.” Ji Chaozhou stepped aside and said calmly, “When Cheng Liu wants to treat me to dinner, she can say it herself.”

He Bai carried Cheng Liu’s clothes and got into the car and drove away. He drove out of the intersection as if nothing had happened before suddenly stopping by the roadside.

Having just met the real Ji Chaozhou, He Bai’s heart suddenly sank.

This man was too good-looking, and his temperament seemed to be different from other people’s. No matter who saw him, they would unconsciously focus only on him.

The most important thing was that when it came to family background, the Ji family was no worse than the He family.

No, they are not together yet, and I still have a chance.

He Bai calmed down, restarted the car and drove to the hotel.

… …

Ji Chaozhou, who left standing by the gates of the villa, turned around and glanced at the door of Villa No. 6. 

Did Cheng Liu know that Mr. He liked her?
