While Ye Jun was taking care of Jun Li Na, he was completely unaware of the happenings of outside. Every news channel and internet hot topics were only filled with the story of an adulterous couple. Xu Liqing"s photos with Lu Ge in the bed were circulating all around.
Those photos were a sight to behold.
Just as Xu Mey ordered, Lu financial group was also implicated badly. Their shares dropped drastically in a single day because of one scandal. Along with that, no matter how much Lu family or Fu Lan tried to bury this scandal, it didn"t go away at all. Its heat was only intensifying with each pa.s.sing hour. But it proved one thing to both Lu family and Fu Lan that there was definitely someone pulling the strings at the back.
What they didn"t know was that there was indeed someone pulling the string behind the scene; Li Qiao. His Lotus Entertainment had a whole media group under it and once the Lotus Entertainment wanted to defile someone"s career or life, it was no big deal at all for them.
Xu Mey was working in her office when Madam Qi from the gay brothel sent her all the details she asked for last night. The content included not just photos or videos but it also included the way Lu Ge was left lifeless right outside Lu family house in the morning.
Xu Mey didn"t check the other videos, from one video of Lu Ge being thrown outside the Lu family house, she could discern that he was akin to a sheep who had been squeezed, devoured, and then trampled on by a bunch of wild hungry wolves. She had only heard somewhere that gay s-e-x was wild but now that she had seen Lu Ge"s lifeless condition, she actually started believing in it.
Seeing the amused smile on Xu Mey"s lips, Qin Hao remarked, "You look really amused, President Xu."
Xu Mey looked at her a.s.sistant and pondered for a while before calling him, "Qin Hao, come here and help me see something."
Like a servile employee, Qin Hao came up to her side. Xu Mey pa.s.sed him the computer tablet and said, "Since you"re a straight guy, help me see how much this person"s self-esteem has been demolished." Qin Hao was confused about her words but then again he had made peace with the fact that his boss was always talking in mysteries.
As if thinking of something, she added, "You"re straight, right?"
Qin Hao stared at her wide-eyed and mouth agape. "Boss! I am straight. Do you have a doubt on me?"
"Yes, I do. Because you"ve been with me for years and yet I haven"t seen you even talking to any girl." Xu Mey spoke with a straight face. It was true that in all the years that Qin Hao had been working for her, he had never gotten himself a girlfriend. She wasn"t wrong in thinking that he some special preferences.
"Rest a.s.sured. I"m perfectly straight. Just because I don"t date doesn"t mean that I"m not interested in girls. It just means that I"m a very diligent employee." Xu Mey snorted and urged him to look at the video.
As soon as the video played, the tablet in Qin Hao"s hand almost dropped to the ground. He didn"t know whether to cry or just cry even more with the way his boss asked him to look at gay p-o-r-n. Wait! It"s not p-o-r-n. It"s more like... Qin Hao gave Xu Mey a sideways glance. It"s torture. He tsked inside his head thinking, "What have you done to let this devil"s wrath befall on yourself?" He was asking Lu Ge in his head.
With each pa.s.sing second, Qin Hao"s body... No! Even his soul shuddered at the sight. He wanted to close his eyes but Xu Mey"s voice stopped his actions. "You have to watch it with your own eyes. Don"t close your eyes. Otherwise, I"ll cut your pay." Qin Hao gulped and kept watching the video in his hands.
The way his chaste eyes were tarnished today, it was almost like someone... someone... What could be the term? He thought. Ahan! It"s like someone r-a-p-e-d my eyes" chast.i.ty. Oh, mother! How did I end up with a devil boss? His consciousness answered, "You chose her yourself, idiot!" He couldn"t possibly argue with that since it was true. He chose to work for Vintage Gems and specifically for President Xu by himself.
"What do you think, Qin Hao?" Xu Mey asked staring at his pale face. "Was it good?"
"Good?" He gulped. "It"s torturous. Oh, no, no. It"s more than just torture. You didn"t just trample on his self-esteem, I believe he might not get out bed for the rest of life." He was really feeling bad for that person.
"Oh, he"ll have to get up. He has a marriage coming up for him," Xu Mey"s lips curled up faintly and it scared the h.e.l.l out of Qin Hao.
"How can you even smile at a time like this?" Qin Hao muttered to himself but Xu Mey heard it loud and clear.
"Haven"t you heard, "Whatever you do enjoy it to the fullest. That"s the secret of life. (*) I"m simply taking pleasure in someone else" misery. One man"s pain is another man"s pleasure."
Qin Hao glared at her smiling face and facepalmed himself but in his anger, he forgot that he was holding the computer tablet in his hand. As a result, the tablet hit his forehead a lot harder than his hand would have. "Hiss!" He hissed in pain and almost slammed the tablet on her table before rubbing his forehead and leaving her office before she does something to his poor heart.
Xu Mey shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as she watched him leave the office. "Kid got some att.i.tude." She grumbled behind his back and laughed out loud thinking about the next stage of her plan.
