The General Manager was thoughtful, but the smile on his face became even brighter.
He quickly stepped forward, welcoming them warmly.
Escorted by the Male Manager and a group of Bodyguards, the party quickly entered the private room.
After entering the private room, Wang Yuyan obediently and sensibly sat beside Jiang Cheng, quietly looking at her phone.
After a few people ordered some dishes, Wang Congcong was the first to speak: "Damn it, today was truly a buzzkill."
Immediately after, Wang Congcong said to Qi Yuan: "You must have made arrangements for those two, right?"
Qi Yuan nodded, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.
"It wasn't a big deal to begin with. At most, they'd be asked a few questions and released quickly. It was just a formality; naturally, we wouldn't let them stay overnight. They should be on their way back now."
Sure enough, before all the dishes were served, footsteps sounded outside the private room.
The sound went from far away to near, carrying a hint of urgency.
Soon, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, and Qin Fen and Wang Zheng walked in from outside.
As soon as Qin Fen saw everyone, an apologetic expression immediately appeared on his face: "I'm truly sorry about what happened today, everyone. This meal is on me, consider it my apology."
"It's just a meal, no need to make it complicated. We agreed yesterday that I would treat, so stop arguing with me."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Chen Hao also smiled, easing the atmosphere: "Exactly, Brother Qin. Does Brother Cheng really need your meal?"
Qin Fen stopped declining. He looked at Jiang Cheng gratefully, then spoke again: "Sigh, I didn't manage to show off today, and I even needed you to step in and clean up the mess for me. Thank you so much."
Wang Zheng followed up: "That's right, Brother Cheng. When he saw the two of us walking out of the station just now, he was stamping his feet in anger. That sight was truly satisfying! I felt so relieved."
"Alright, don't you get tired standing all the time? Sit down first."
After the two sat down, Wang Congcong first glanced at Jiang Cheng, then immediately turned to Qin Fen and asked, "How is that guy doing now?"
Qin Fen picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and slowly replied: "I'm not entirely sure. I only heard the negotiating lawyer say that the police seem to be planning a temporary interrogation for him."
They had all heard what Jiang Cheng said to Huang Qing earlier.
Based on past experience, they all knew very well that Huang Qing was probably in for some trouble this time.
Just then, Wang Yuyan, who had been quietly scrolling through her phone, suddenly frowned deeply.
She looked up, a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and said softly to Jiang Cheng, "Honey, look at this."
Jiang Cheng took the phone Wang Yuyan handed him and raised an eyebrow slightly: "This hot search news spreads quite fast."
Wang Congcong, sitting nearby, heard this and stretched his neck to look at the phone in Jiang Cheng's hand.
[The ferrari laferrari directly collides with a mclaren F1, two legendary cars suffer mutual damage.]
[Who exactly is the New National Husband?? Why is he so lawless??]
[emperor of shanghai Qin Fen detained for assaulting Huang Qing, the Entertainment Industry Discipline Inspector.]
...Wang Congcong's face was gloomy, and the veins on his forehead slightly bulged with anger.
He cursed bitterly: "Damn it, I knew these paparazzi wouldn't listen. Sure enough."
In fact, he had known all along that those people likely wouldn't take his words seriously.
Otherwise, why would cameras follow him everywhere he went?
No matter how many times those people were beaten, the next day they would still follow him from afar, as troublesome as sticky candy.
How could such explosive news not be published just because of a single word from him?
Seeing Wang Congcong cursing while looking at his phone, the other four instantly reacted, picking up their phones and scrolling through them.
Seeing his own hot search, Qin Fen's lips curled into a slight smile, but he shrugged dismissively.
After all, Huang Qing was the one who got hit, not him.
Moreover, he felt that the incident of him hitting someone could be used to promote his image as someone reckless and lawless in Shanghai.
Maybe he could even attract more attention because of it.
However, before he could bask in his pride for long, he scrolled across another hot search about himself.
The smile gradually faded from his face as he read this hot search.
["emperor of shanghai acted on impulse; Huang Qing states he won't let him off."]
Seeing this, Qin Fen's expression instantly turned grim.
This was because the accompanying image on this hot search specifically listed the height and weight comparison between him and Huang Qing.
It was well known that height was the thing he cared about most deep down.
Yet, this matter was being widely publicized.
While furious, he stared wide-eyed at the comments below.
Those comments stung his heart like needle pricks.
"A duel between a primary schooler and a middle schooler?"
"Is Qin Fen really that small? Is he even 160 [cm]?"
"No way, could he even reach Huang Qing's face?"
...These hot searches were not only continuously spread and reposted on the Social Media Platform.
Even on TikTok, a large amount of on-site video footage appeared.
For a time, the level of discussion was terrifying.
Qin Fen's face was gloomy, and Wang Congcong immediately misunderstood.
He said, "Why the long face? So what if you're on the hot search? Let me think of some recent celebrity gossip. I'll go post a few exposé items on the Social Media Platform, and that will definitely push your hot searches down. If that doesn't work, I'll just go on a cursing spree and curse whoever I catch."
As soon as Wang Congcong finished speaking, Wang Yuyan, who was beside him, couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face filled with surprise.
Sure enough, celebrities were just tools in front of these capitalists, completely lacking dignity or autonomy.
Seeing that Wang Congcong actually picked up his phone, Jiang Cheng quickly reached out and stopped him.
He said in a relaxed tone, "Don't bother with all that. I'll just give Li Songbo of Sina Social Media Platform a call, ask him to take down the hot search, and find someone to delete the posts."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately put down their phones.
Originally, everyone was planning to use their own methods.
They didn't expect Jiang Cheng to so easily get to the source with just one sentence.
Everyone gave Jiang Cheng a thumbs up, their faces full of admiration.
Qin Fen was the first to say: "Brother Cheng, from now on, you're my real brother. Please have him take down my hot search too; I really can't stand looking at it anymore."
Wang Congcong immediately followed up: "You actually know him??"
Jiang Cheng nodded while opening wechat, saying: "Didn't I invest in TikTok? He's also one of the shareholders. We had dinner together at a gala once. He should be able to help with this little matter."
Jiang Cheng immediately dialed Li Songbo's wechat voice call without hesitation.
A few seconds later, Li Songbo's voice quickly came through the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Chairman Jiang, good evening."
