Chapter 944: Chapter 944: My Boyfriend Can

Media doesn’t just survive on clicks and exposure.

Most media outlets make money by selling negative celebrity stories captured by their paparazzi. She had asked Gu Linxi to help her investigate, and this media outlet was a typical example of this operation mode.

They should have approached her first to ask for money, to see if she was willing to spend a large sum to buy the story, and only publish it if it couldn’t be sold.

But these people skipped the middle step and went straight to the last one.

It would be strange if there wasn’t something fishy going on!

Jiang Meiqi was out of money, so it couldn’t have been her who paid.

So who was collaborating with Jiang Meiqi from behind the scenes?

The middle-aged woman, with a beer bottle pressed against her neck, raised her hands and swallowed hard, her face pale as she tried to make a final struggle, “I… I really just received an anonymous tip…”

Rong Yan lifted her eyelid nonchalantly, “Oh, since you insist it was an anonymous tip, tell me, who anonymously tipped you off?”

“Don’t tell me you weren’t sure whether the information was true or false, and yet you dared to risk publishing it.”

Such a lie, not even a three-year-old would believe.

The middle-aged woman looked unnaturally flustered, and out of fear of Li Shengxiao standing behind Rong Yan, she had no choice but to admit defeat and speak, “…Miss Rong, you should know the rules of our line of work, we can’t disclose the other party’s information, otherwise, we can’t continue in this circle.”

“You smear me in the media and you expect me to understand you? Sorry, I can’t sympathize with your dilemma. I’m just asking you one thing now, will you speak or not?” Rong Yan pressed the glass bottle a bit closer to her front, scaring the woman into wailing.

Her neck both hurt and scared, she gritted her teeth, not wanting to expose her sugar daddy in front of so many of her subordinates, “Miss Rong, it’s not that I don’t want to tell, I really don’t know…”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Rong Yan suddenly let go a bit, pulling back the glass bottle that was pressing against her neck.

The middle-aged woman showed a look of surprise but quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

That just scared her to death… She thought she was really going to get hurt today… It seems it was just a scare after all…

Just as her heart was beginning to settle down, she heard Rong Yan’s faint threatening voice, “You won’t tell, will you? It’s fine if you don’t tell, I can still find out given time, but then, Capital City might not have your company anymore.”

The middle-aged woman abruptly looked up.

“You expose my story, it’s only natural for me to retaliate. I’m just a minor celebrity and can’t do much to you, but unfortunately, my boyfriend can~”

—But unfortunately, my boyfriend can.

Li Shengxiao watched her kick in the door, smash the beer bottle, and threaten someone with a bottle pressed against their neck, all executed in one go. He thought she wouldn’t need him anymore, but when he heard her say the words ‘my boyfriend can’, his chest filled up instantly.

That pleasure, it felt like he had received the best reward.

He even doubted his sanity, seeing her unrestrained, fierce demeanor, yet he still found her adorable.

But Rong Yan was right, media outlets like this that were just starting to grow, even if they had a bit of influence in the circle, were nothing more than ants in his presence, he could indeed say he’d clean them up immediately.

As long as Rong Yan asked, he could even call Gu Ming right now and have the company shut down.
