I Am Rich

62

The interview will start at eight o'clock in the evening, Guan Zhiyi departed an hour and a half earlier to meet her team first.

When her car drove to the interview platform company parking lot, Liu Yun and Maomao came to pick her up. The two people went to the location that Guan Zhiyi told, and saw her standing in front of a sports car.

The car is black, but in this parking lot, this black car was too eye-catching, with matte texture, sleek car body, top competitive attack engine. One that you can feel how powerful it was instantly.

After knowing what kind of family background Guan Zhiyi was in, Liu Yun has slowly managed to get used to it. After all, she had even been to her family mansions. But seeing her driving such a car to work just now still gave her a wave of shock.

She has seen this car on the Internet before, it was so expensive that it could make people like her, who are already accustomed to seeing rich people in the entertainment circle, have their scalp feel numb.

"Wow, Sister Zhiyi, your car is so cool!" said Maomao with beaming eyes.

Guan Zhiyi who simply just drive away Guan Yuanbai's car when she leave, said, "Not mine, it's my brother's."

Mao Mao: "Which model is this? I never seen it before."

Guan Zhiyi never studied anything about cars, so she just shook her head at her words, "I don't know."

Liu Yun patted Mao Mao's shoulder, "Don't ask, it's a good thing if you don't know."

Mao Mao: "Why?"

Liu Yun gestured towards her heart, "Knowing too clearly will only hurt your heart."

"......"

When the work officially began at eight o'clock, Guan Zhiyi with the other cast carried out interviews and games. Then an hour later, the work ended and everyone dispersed.

Afterwards, Guan Zhiyi went to the parking lot, bid farewell to Liu Yun and others before getting into the car and drove directly to Xinghe Bay.

Ever since she practiced driving under Qi Chengyan's hand, she is now very skilled at driving. The road was fairly empty at night, so her speed soared up without her realizing it.

Nearly...making the people chasing behind her unable to keep up.

"She drives so fast, come on, quickly catch up." on the passenger seat of a gray car following behind, a person with a camera urged.

The man in the driver's seat cursed,"You fucking try to keep up yourself! Are you aware of what kind of car she has and what kind of car we have."

"Then make sure to not lose her!"

"I'll try my best......"

The gray car followed Guan Zhiyi all the way until she arrived at the entrance of Xinghe Bay neighborhood.

The sports car went in quickly past the neighborhood gate. The man in the other car saw the neighborhood and instantly knew that they definitely could not get in, hence, he asked the person in the back seat to pull out the equipment.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Unpack my new weapon out."

"Got it."

As the car roof opened, a small drone slowly rose, passing through some corner and discreetly flying in…

Guan Zhiyi stared longingly at Qi Chengyan's house as she passed by before continuing to drive towards Guan Yuanbai's house.

"You're back." Guan Yuanbai also just got back and hasn't changed his suit yet.

Guan Zhiyi hummed and said, "I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep."

Guan Yuanbai took a quick glance at her, "Oh."

While Guan Zhiyi went upstairs, Guan Yuanbai was playing with his phone downstairs.

But, even after waiting for a while, he still didn't see Guan Zhiyi coming down.

He was a little surprised because he thought that with Guan Zhiyi's nature, she definitely would sneak downstairs and wander to the next door, but she unexpectedly didn't do so.

Guan Yuanbai is a little confused, but at the same time he was also somewhat proud of himself, it seemed that she still found her brother intimidating.

However, what he, a thousand-year-old bachelor, doesn't know is that couples still can be lovey-dovey even without meeting each other

Such as doing a video call.

Guan Zhiyi, who went back to the room early, took a shower and lay on the bed, joyfully picked up the phone to answer Qi Chengyan's video call.

"Finished taking a shower?" inside the phone, Qi Chengyan was in the study, sitting on a chair with earphones on his ears.

Guan Zhiyi was lying on the bed, revealing only half of her face to look at him, "Yes, I've showered and am getting ready to sleep, what about you?"

"I have to handle something first, so I'll sleep a bit later."

"Ah... should I hang up the call? Am I disturbing you?"

"You're not." Qi Chengyan said, "Those things can be handled later, after you go to bed."

"Ah, I'll stay up late too, I can wait for you!"

Qi Chengyan: "No need, you have to sleep early and get a proper rest."

Guan Zhiyi faltered, "Then, what are you doing tomorrow?"

"I have to work tomorrow."

"I see......"

"Shall I accompany you to dinner when I come back?"

Guan Zhiyi's eyes lit up, but soon filled with concern again, "How are you going to accompany me to dinner ah, my brother is here."

Qi Chengyan raised his eyebrows faintly, couldn't resist to laugh, "Xiaowu, although your brother is a little angry, he didn't say we're not allowed to talk with each other."

"......You're right."

Qi Chengyan: "So no need to take his fierce look seriously, trust me, I'll come to find you tomorrow."

"Then, I'll wait for you."

"Good."

The two of them continued to chat idly for quite a while, on and on, as though they had neverending things to talk about. So it was only until Guan Zhiyi was unable to keep her eyes open did they end the call.

When Guan Zhiyi woke up the next day, Guan Yuanbai had already gone to work. Even so, the housekeeper he hired arrived today. Seeing that Guan Zhiyi had woken up, they hurriedly made breakfast for her.

After breakfast, she sat in the living room to watch a movie. There were not many things she was interested in, so movies can be considered as a significant one.

She completed watching two movies and it was already time for lunch, as she sat at the dining table to eat, her phone vibrated.

She answered the phone, "Sister Yun."

"Zhiyi ah, that, you......yesterday"

"What?"

Liu Yun said, "Did you sense anything unusual when you came home yesterday? You were followed by paparazzi last night."

Guan Zhiyi froze, "No, I didn't feel anything."

"Right...The photos don't look like they were shot from close. It's normal if you can't notice them. I just want to let you know, the news about you driving that car to Xinghe Bay is all over the Internet."

"Ah?"

"You go have a look first. Anyway, give me an instruction when you're done. I'll think about what's the best way to do the publicity."

"I got it."

Guan Zhiyi hung up the call, put down her chopsticks, and hurriedly logged in to Weibo.

As expected, there was already a hot search related to her name on weibo, and it's not just one.

#GuanZhiyiLuxuryCar#

#GuanZhiyiQiChengyan#

Huh?

How did her being photographed driving a luxury car go to her hooking up with Qi Chengyan? She didn't stay with him yesterday.

Guan Zhiyi immediately clicked into the hot search, and once she saw the photos and revelations posted by several account, she finally understood.

This paparazzi actually has started taking pictures of her from the parking lot where she was doing an interview, and as to why Qi Chengyan was linked to this, it turned out that after these photos were released, an insider revealed to the media that the house she was driving into was the private residence of Qi Chengyan from Qi Group.

Netizens have always possessed an omnipotent power, so it would not be a strange thing for them to be able to dig up that Qi Chengyan has a property here, since he had lived here for a long time. But the thing is…..the house she drove into yesterday was Guan Yuanbai's, while Qi Chengyan house is next door ah! Why can't they do a better job!

Guan Zhiyi then clicked into the comment section. At the moment, this area of freedom of speech was already in turmoil.

[What the hell! A limited edition supercar, I heard that there are only two of these cars in the whole country..….]

[Isn't she the one that has a 'poor person who's working hard to climb her way to the top' persona? So she climbed into this car?]

[Ridiculous, she's been popular for some time now, can't she buy this car with her earned money now?]

[That car can't simply be bought with money alone, were you fans really thinking that Guan Zhiyi can bought it by herself, ah.]

[So she eventually climbed into Qi Chengyan even after strongly denying it before, shame on you.]

[She's really working hard to get into a rich family.]

[Isn't it nice, if you hook up with Qi Chengyan, you can get a car if you want a car, you can get a house if you want a house.]

[A house in Xinghe Bay, damn, that must be worth a fortune.]

[Snap out of it! He's just messing around with her at best, yet this clown still wishes to enter the Qi family?]

[She has already earned a lot just from him messing around with her. (doge head)]

[Wah, my husband won't like her anymore!!!]

[Yuck, so nauseating]

With so many comments coming up, naturally there were also some fans and netizens who spoke up for her. However, Guan Zhiyi just became popular recently, thus, her anti-fans were not the only people who wanted to blacken her. There were also various marketing accounts and rival companies who would inherently grab this chance and make every effort to ridicule her the moment they saw her getting photographed like this. 

Guan Zhiyi felt somewhat frustrated as she scrolled down. 

Back then, she simply thought that it was enough to just act well, hence she never shared her personal matters online. She had no idea that merely a few photos could bring her this much publicity.

Just right after she finished browsing around, Qi Chengyan called her.

"So you finally saw it."Guan Zhiyi started the conversation.

Qi Chengyan hummed, then said,"What do you want to do?"

Guan Zhiyi: "Both my brother and my father are now very supportive of me working in this industry, I'm no longer worried about going public with this matter. "

"Good, then what about us?"

Guan Zhiyi: "Ah?"

"Would you mind if our relationship is disclosed to the public?"

Guan Zhiyi was taken aback for a while. The reason why she didn't want to make this relationship public before was mainly in consideration of how many anti fans she had. She didn't want others to judge her private affairs, especially those involving Qi Chengyan.

"Why do you ask this, I never mind." Guan Zhiyi said, "I'm just afraid that going public would affect your life."

"You don't have to worry about me."Qi Chengyan said, "In fact, I didn't want to make it public to these strangers either, but now it seems that the longer we keep these matters hidden, the more trouble it will create in the future."

Guan Zhiyi also thought as much, they couldn't keep hiding the fact that they were together and in a relationship, inevitably there will be one day where they are seen together and sooner or later paparazzi will surely follow after them. So rather than getting splashed by another wave of water, why don't they just lay everything out on the table and get over it.

"What you said is right. Then, maybe we should just let it go public?"

Qi Chengyan smiled, "Okay."

Things were coming one after another, after having a discussion with Liu Yun, Guan Zhiyi decided to clarify the real situation of those photos first.

At one o'clock that afternoon, Guan Zhiyi's clarification weibo was issued, and shortly after, it climbed on the hot search.

Numerous netizens' eyes lit up when they saw the topic #GuanZhiyiClarification# in the hot search list, and while clicking on it, they thought:

"The main character responds so quickly, she's got the guts."

"Let's see what her excuse is this time."

"I'm sure she'll deny it again, she'll say that he's just a friend or something like that."

The crowd went in excitedly, only to see—

Guan Zhiyi: "Don't be ridiculous, that car is my own brother's car, and the house I entered is also my own brother's house. President Qi's house is next door, haaa…...."

A great number of netizens were stunned: [???]

What the hell?
