Chapter 402: Chapter 402 The Swindler!

Shao Qiqi wanted to say more, but Liu Rui cut her off directly, "Shao Qiqi, everything I said to you before was serious, and I stick by my words.

If you continue to make a fuss, you may end up with nothing. Don’t forget, the contract you signed is still a dispatch labor contract. You might as well make a bigger scene and let Director Chen know, so you can see who will suffer the most in the end."

Since nice words were to no avail, Liu Rui had to play hardball.

Upon hearing this, Shao Qiqi’s mind was buzzing with calculations. She was just a little assistant at the company, naturally no match, and being pregnant, it was also not easy for her to find another job. In the end, she would be the one to lose out.

Once she realized this, she immediately got up from the ground. With a resentful glare at Ye Zhenzhen, she turned and left.

After Shao Qiqi had left, Jiang Lu expressed her disdain, "Huahua, I only need one assistant. You better get rid of her quickly, I can’t afford to use someone like that."

Liu Rui nodded, "Alright, I’ll arrange it in a bit."

Ye Zhenzhen didn’t say anything and continued to look through the endorsement materials.

Afterward, everyone continued discussing the endorsement companies and products as if the previous incident had never happened...

...

In the afternoon, after Shao Qiqi had finished her prenatal check-up at the hospital, she happened to run into An Xi.

The hospital she visited was a private one in Jiangcheng, where many celebrities did their medical check-ups. With excellent internal security, there was no risk of paparazzi taking stealth photos, so it was not surprising to encounter An Xi there.

At the entrance of the hospital, Shao Qiqi saw An Xi get into a taxi, and the driver was someone she recognized – it was Wu Yuerou.

To Shao Qiqi, An Xi wasn’t much help, but Wu Yuerou was different. She and Ye Zhenzhen didn’t get along, and although outsiders might not be familiar with her, being someone in the circle, Shao Qiqi had naturally heard about it.

Now that Wu Yuerou’s husband, Chief An, was down, Lemon Channel had sidelined her, forcing her to take on odd jobs to earn a living.

After Ye Zhenzhen had dealt with Wu Yuerou, she had now also landed Wu Yuerou’s best friend, Han Jiangxue, in jail. This surely must have made Wu Yuerou hate Ye Zhenzhen even more.

Thinking of this, Shao Qiqi hurriedly ran to stop the taxi, shouting, "Wait, wait!"

Wu Yuerou, seeing the person stopping the car, asked the person sitting in the back seat, An Xi, "Do you know her?"

An Xi shook her head, "No, I don’t."

Shao Qiqi saw Wu Yuerou turning the steering wheel to drive away and shouted, "Wu Yuerou, I have something important to tell you, about Ye Zhenzhen."

The doctor had just told her during the prenatal check-up at the hospital that the fetal development was not good and recommended an abortion.

If it weren’t for Ye Zhenzhen, Zheng Di might not have been imprisoned, and then she wouldn’t have to be so lonely today, with no one to accompany her to the prenatal checkup. Later, she might even have to go through the abortion alone. All these causes and effects, she felt, were all thanks to Ye Zhenzhen!

Therefore, she must seize any opportunity to exact her revenge on Ye Zhenzhen wildly. Only by doing so would she feel that she was doing justice to the child she was about to lose.

Upon hearing the three words "Ye Zhenzhen," Wu Yuerou’s lips curled up with a hint of mockery, and she rolled down the car window, shouting outside, "Get in and talk."

Shao Qiqi was overjoyed in her heart; indeed, like her, Wu Yuerou hated Ye Zhenzhen.

After getting into the car, she greeted An Xi and Wu Yuerou, "Sister Yuerou, Sister An Xi, hello. I’m Shao Qiqi, YG Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant."

Wu Yuerou sneered coldly, "You’re Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant? Who are you trying to fool?"

An Xi glanced at Shao Qiqi, "Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant is Yu Lili. Who are you, an assistant that just popped up out of nowhere?"

"Ah, I was her life assistant, but we’ve had a falling out. However, I have some juicy information on her—wondering if you might be interested?"

Shao Qiqi claimed to be Ye Zhenzhen’s life assistant just to make her fabricated story more convincing and to better achieve her goal.

An Xi raised an eyebrow, "So you were Zhenzhen’s assistant, and now you’ve become enemies, and you want to take revenge on her in secret? Do you think I’ll believe that?"

As she spoke, An Xi took out her phone to call Ye Zhenzhen.

Upon seeing this, Shao Qiqi panicked and hurriedly said to Wu Yuerou, "Sister Yuerou, you hate Ye Zhenzhen the most, right? Now I have some dirt on her. I don’t want much—just a hundred thousand yuan. I’m really strapped for cash recently. Give me the money, and the information is all yours."

As soon as Shao Qiqi finished speaking, the call An Xi made went through and Ye Zhenzhen answered, "An Xi, what’s up?"

An Xi said with a smile on the phone, "Zhenzhen, do you have a life assistant called Shao Qiqi?"

"Shao Qiqi?" Ye Zhenzhen sounded surprised. She had just spoken to Shao Qiqi that morning. How could someone be asking about her already?

"No, I only have one assistant, named Yu Lili. Why do you ask?"

An Xi rolled her eyes at Shao Qiqi, then force a dry laugh, "Oh, it’s nothing. I was going to the hospital for a checkup this afternoon and happened to meet someone named Shao Qiqi who claimed to be your assistant, so I thought I should call to check with you in case it was a scammer."

"Oh, you definitely should check."

That implied she was indeed a fraud.

An Xi: "Okay, nothing else then, I’ll hang up, see you at the program team meeting tomorrow."

"Sure, see you at the program team meeting."

After hanging up the phone, Shao Qiqi’s face turned ashen, "Although I’m not Ye Zhenzhen’s assistant, I do have dirt on her. Are you sure you don’t want it? If you do, I can even give you a lower price."

"Get out!" Wu Yuerou issued a direct eviction order, "Dirt on Ye Zhenzhen? Are you joking? What kind of dirt could Ye Zhenzhen possibily have that would make me pay to get it from you? Are you out of your mind? Trying to scam your way here, get lost. If you don’t go now, I might just call the police."

Trying to scam her way here, she sure had the nerve!

Shao Qiqi slinked away from Wu Yuerou’s car dejectedly, watching the taxi drive away, she cursed under her breath, "Idiots!"

In the taxi.

An Xi asked Wu Yuerou, "Don’t you hate Ye Zhenzhen? Why didn’t you want the dirt on her when that person offered it to you just now?"

An Xi felt that, no matter how badly off Wu Yuerou was, she couldn’t possibly be unable to afford a hundred thousand yuan.

Wu Yuerou sneered, "The tricks that woman uses are all the ones I’ve discarded. She doesn’t have any dirt on Ye Zhenzhen. Even if she did, it would just be pieces cobbled together from the internet.

I do hate Ye Zhenzhen, but this whole business of leaking scandals to top the hot search lists, obviously, it wouldn’t do any harm to Ye Zhenzhen."

An Xi said emotionlessly, "What if I fail?"

"Fail?" Wu Yuerou turned her head to look at An Xi with a grave expression, "Fail? If you fail, I’ll tell everyone about the disgraceful thing you did back then..."

An Xi’s face turned pale in an instant, "Don’t threaten me."

"Whether I’m threatening you, you know best. If you succeed, you can continue being Mrs. Gu. But if you fail, I can’t guarantee what your situation will be like in the Gu Family or in the entertainment circle. You can imagine it for yourself."

An Xi: "Stop at the intersection ahead, I want to walk and think things over."
