Chapter 9
On her way home, Shen Tang received a phone call from her assistant Yuan Yuan.
"Tang Tang sister, you made it to the hot search!"
"Ah? I haven't stirred up any controversies recently?"
Yuan Yuan: "..."
"This time it's good news, go check Weibo quickly."
As soon as Shen Tang logged into Weibo, her phone froze.
The messages only displayed 99+, she didn't want to look for abuse.
She opened the hot search rankings, and as expected saw herself there.
Some enthusiastic netizen recorded her performance in the livestream and posted it on Weibo.
Shen Tang thought the comments would all be cursing her, but when she looked there were some unexpected defenders, though they were attacked badly.
She was certain they were just passersby, because Shen Tang was convinced she had no fans.
The super topic managers were all her alt accounts, and the fan group only had a few people, not even enough for two mahjong tables.
【I'll prove Shen Tang is telling the truth, let me post a picture】
The photo showed a cockroach covered in oil squeezing through the cracks of a durian, it looked disgusting.
【Hahaha, Shen Tang is always contrary】
【Anonymous, I'm a warehouse worker, the warehouse is very dirty with lots of rats and cockroaches. Everyone should avoid buying fruits and fresh food with Curry's name】
Curry was the name of the male anchor.
【Rumors are easily spread, truth is hard to explain, poster above are you just slandering with no evidence? If you have the guts post a photo】
The internet exploded over this incident, most of the male anchor's fans believed and defended him, while some clung to the fact he didn't eat the durian in the end.
Shen Tang smiled, good good, this kind of scumbag was bound to have his wrongdoings exposed sooner or later.
Shen Tang was in a great mood, her heart completely at ease.
This showed the plot of the book could still be changed, which meant she really could change her tragic ending.
Hehe~
Shen Tang was extremely happy and ate three bowls of rice when she got home.
This also signaled the end of her weight loss endeavor.
However -
"Hasn't my husband come home yet?"
Tao Sister shook her head: "The master hasn't returned, he must be staying near the company."
Shen Tang nodded in understanding, not noticing the hint of distress in Tao Sister's eyes.
Of course, what newlywed couple would be living separately already?
Tao Sister couldn't help suggesting: "Mistress why don't you bring food to the master? I've already prepared it."
Shen Tang didn't want to go, but before she could refuse Tao Sister had already packed the lunchbox and held it out to her.
Shen Tang: Ah this...
"He should have food there right..."
A big boss how could he not have food to eat?
Tao Sister shook her head in disapproval: "That's not how to think about it, restaurant food outside is unsanitary, how could it compare to clean tasty homemade meals? What's more, the master has a sensitive stomach and often misses meals, who knows if he's eaten dinner yet tonight!"
Shen Tang hesitated for a moment, then took the lunchbox, "Fine I'll go take a look."
She absolutely could not let the money master ruin his stomach, or who would earn money?
Maybe if she performed well, the money master would be happy and give her more money, hehe~
Because the community had strict security, and Shen Tang's information wasn't in the system, she was stopped at the entrance unable to get in.
Shen Tang: "..."
Just then, a sports car screeched to a halt beside her and the window slowly rolled down.
"Oh, who's this squatting outside the community gate not going in?"
Shen Tang stood up, and upon recognizing the person rolled her eyes: "Oh, who's this that owes money and still dares to show his face?"
"It's just a few ten thousand yuan, I'll pay you back right now."
After waiting a while, Sha Ma Te looked at Shen Tang in disbelief: "You actually blocked me!"
"Sorry, I forgot."
Shen Tang quickly unblocked him from the blacklist, and after receiving the money, blocked him again.
"Alright, money received, see you!"
"Wait!" Sha Ma Te hurriedly got out of the car, "Shen Tang, don't tell me you knew I lived here and came to wait for me on purpose? I'm telling you, I will never get back together with you!"
Shen Tang took a deep breath, "Who gave you the confidence! Do you know why good horses don't eat back their food?"
"Why?"
"Because it's covered in shit."
Sha Ma Te: "..."
"Hahahahaha!"
Laughter sounded from the side, Sha Ma Te's expression became very ugly, he glanced at the license plate knowing he couldn't afford to provoke the owner, so left Shen Tang with a threat: "I'm waiting for the day you beg me to take you back."
"Oh, keep waiting slowly, see you next life."
After Sha Ma Te left, Shen Tang finally looked at the newcomer, seeming a little familiar but not very.
The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a jaded face.
"What, don't recognize me after a few days?"
Shen Tang searched her memories, the woman was her rival Qi Yue, also an unknown.
Qi Yue looked down on the vulgar sexy approach the original followed, while the original looked down on the other's complacent attitude towards not succeeding.
Shen Tang, who had the script from God, lamented that it was because the other came from a wealthy family, she was just playing around in the industry and could go back to inheriting the family business if she didn't make it big.
"What are you doing here?"
Qi Yue hooked her lips in a smile, "I live here."
Her gaze fell upon the lunchbox in Shen Tang's hands, "You came to deliver food?"
Shen Tang awkwardly laughed, "That's right, I'm bringing food for my boss."
Seeing Qi Yue's raised brow, Shen Tang quickly explained: "Another boss, I took on a side job."
Qi Yue nodded in understanding, she knew of Shen Tang's family circumstances, it wasn't a secret at the company.
"Get in, I'll bring you inside."
Shen Tang followed closely behind holding the lunchbox, looking just like a little wife.
It was at this time that Shen Tang realized, she had no idea where the money master lived at all, didn't have his number, and the driver was still outside the community.
It was all because that idiot ex had interrupted her earlier, making her forget to ask.
Shen Tang shook her head, as if hearing water sloshing around inside.
"Um..."
"What?"
Shen Tang said in a small voice: "I forgot which unit the boss lives in."
"Call and ask."
"Don't have his number."
Qi Yue rubbed her forehead.
"Um, have you eaten?"
Qi Yue looked over as Shen Tang said: "Why don't I give you the food? Don't worry, the dishes are all very clean and hygienic!"
"Sounds good, let's go to my place then."
The two didn't get along but also didn't have any major feuds.
It wasn't until they reached her door that Qi Yue realized she must have lost her mind, to actually bring this toxin of the entertainment industry back home.
Now she couldn't kick the person out either.
Moreover, she discovered Shen Tang seemed a little different than before.
"Wow! Your place is so nice!"
Shen Tang didn't expect the seemingly cold Qi Yue to have so many plush toys at home, the contrast was truly too great.
"It's just alright..." The corners of Qi Yue's mouth curved up slightly, this was the first time someone had praised her home for being nice, her family always said she was childish.
The relationship between girls could become closer through a shared interest.
Shen Tang opened the lunchbox, the food was still hot so she didn't reheat it.
"Try it quickly, let me tell you, Tao Sister's cooking is amazing!"
Qi Yue had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but still nodded in agreement, "It's pretty good."
As a celebrity she had to watch her figure, so didn't eat much.
Normally at night she just ate salads, tonight already broke her rules.
Yet she didn't expect Shen Tang to have such an appetite.
Qi Yue watched Shen Tang's slightly bulging stomach, eyes wide.
Shen Tang finished the last spoonful of soup and sprawled on the sofa: "Comfortable!"
Qi Yue cautiously asked: "Shen Tang, did something happen to you?"
"Huh? Nothing happened." Shen Tang didn't understand why Qi Yue asked this.
Qi Yue's gaze fell on the empty lunchbox, the implication was obvious. If nothing happened, why eat so much, it seemed like self-destructive behavior.
Shen Tang grinned, "Never waste good food or money."
On the other side, Gu Huaian who received the butler's message but still hadn't seen anyone: "..."
Where was his dinner?
