Mr. MO nodded and admitted, “I’m relieved; I was a little worried before, when

Shi Nian said he was married. I was afraid he’d end up with a bad match! Now, I can rest assured. Yun Nan would definitely make a fine wife!”

“Mr. MO, people would generally worry about women being the weaker party in a relationship rather than the men.”

Mr. MO chuckled. “Just look at Shi Nian’s expression. He’s clearly the one clinging to Yun Nan, so there’s nothing wrong with what I’ve just said!”

Shi Nian put an arm around Shi Xiu and introduced her, “This is my little sister, Shi Xiu. She’s my biological sister! We have the same parents and all that! She’s the baby of our family and has never left the sight of our family. She has at least two visible and four invisible bodyguards whenever she goes out. It’s impossible for her to skip school even if she wants to.”

“Hey, what’s-his-name! Where did you get the idea my sister eloped, took drugs, and had an abortion? Did you come up with it yourself, or did someone else make you say that? Oh, right, you mentioned it before. Someone told you to say those things! Come, you have to give me an explanation today. Otherwise, not only you, but your entire company—including your media outlet—will be going down with you.” Shi Nian uttered those alarming words in the calmest tone.

Cold sweat trickled down Wang Wei’s neck. His colleague couldn’t wait any longer and spoke up. “Chairman Shi, this truly is a misunderstanding. It’s honestly a misunderstanding.”

Shi Nian remarked, “The word ‘misunderstanding’ seems paltry. Wang Wei, I’m still waiting for that explanation. You can’t avoid this. Say something; I’ll give you guys three minutes to make up a lie, and if I’m satisfied with your explanation, I’ll let you guys go. If I’m not satisfied… then you better pray to your ancestors.”

Wang Wei’s colleague tugged at him, signaling him to hurry up and spit out whatever he planned to say. Wang Wei straightened his back, still stubbornly insisting, “I didn’t come up with the news. Someone leaked the news to us but they didn’t mention Miss Shi. They said the news was about the lead actress of ‘4:30 P.M.’! Who would’ve thought that the lead actress of this movie was Miss Shi?!”

“Oh? Sounds like it’s my sister’s fault you’re in this mess! If she didn’t act in this movie… if she wasn’t the female lead, this wouldn’t have happened, right?” Shi Nian inquired.

“Yeah,” Wang Wei answered honestly.

His colleague nearly went on their knees as they pleaded, “Chairman Shi, you heard what Wang Wei said before. You understand, don’t you? Wang Wei was deceived. He truly didn’t mean to spread rumors about Miss Shi—”

Shi Nian didn’t even bother looking at Wang Wei’s colleague. He only stared at

Wang Wei as he ordered, “Shut up! Nobody asked for your opinion. Let Wang Wei give his own answers!”

Wang Wei raised his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead. It seemed there was no escape for him today. As his colleague glared furiously at him, he finally bowed his defiant head and stated, “Someone did ask me to say this. They really did ask me to do so, but I didn’t expect the lead actress of this movie to be…”

No one was surprised by his words. Someone was deliberately slinging mud at ‘4:30 P.M.’, but that mud was now thrown at the wrong person and caused trouble.

“They must have paid you quite a sum for you to be so tight-lipped about them! How about this; so long as you tell me who made you do all this, however much they’re paying you, I’ll double it,” Shi Nian calmly offered.

“N-no need. I-I can’t take your money,” Wang Wei hurriedly refused.

“Oh? Does that mean you don’t intend to tell me who’s behind all this?” Shi Nian asked slowly.

Wang Wei lowered his head and uttered, “No, that’s not what I meant… It’s Ding Pei from Yun Corporation.”

These were overwhelming circumstances he found himself in; at this moment, Shi Nian was a hurdle he couldn’t overcome no matter what. He could take Ding Pei’s money—could ask Ding Pei for double the amount—but Shi Nian would ensure he wouldn’t be able to spend a single cent of that money. Shi Nian could even wipe out their company—in that case, he also wouldn’t be able to take a single cent.

Shi Nian’s smile faded slightly when he received his answer. “Alright, noted.”

Wang Wei’s colleague was very perceptive and quickly added, “Chairman Shi, we were deceived by them. We definitely didn’t mean to offend Miss Shi.

Please, sir, have mercy—”

However, Shi Nian acted as if he didn’t hear anything. He turned to look at the emcee standing at the corner of the stage and asked, “Sorry, I seem to have disrupted your show. What’s next on the program?”

The emcee was quick on the uptake. She swiftly walked over and smilingly stated, “No, not at all! We’re honored to have Chairman Shi interact with us and even disclose such explosive news. We would all like to know more. Isn’t that right, everybody?”

“Yeah!” the crowd replied. Of course, they wanted to hear more! This was news that Shi Nian was tacitly allowing them to publicize! The eyes of the entertainment reporters lit up in anticipation.

The emcee smiled as they asked, “Chairman Shi, when did you get together with Director Yun? You two hid your relationship so well; there wasn’t any news about it in or outside your social circles..”
