Psst! We're moving!
The interns in her department were sometimes very busy and sometimes very relaxed. For example, they wouldn’t dare let interns handle some work that required senior staff to supervise.
Their usual time for slacking off was either in the restroom or the pantry.
These two interns had a good relationship, so they chatted in the pantry, not expecting Chi Suisui to come in.
“Chief Chi, I’ve sent you the link,” the intern blinked and quickly sent the post link over. “Please don’t tell Sister Chen, okay?”
Chi Suisui said casually, “I won’t.”
The two of them breathed a long sigh of relief. “Then we’ll go get busy.”
Having witnessed Chi Suisui’s confrontation with Zhang Yueran before, they would feel apprehensive when seeing her cold expression. But now they felt she was actually quite easy to talk to.
She was good-looking and had a pleasant voice. Who wouldn’t like her?
Chi Suisui didn’t stop them. “Okay.”
As soon as she spoke, the two of them quickly left, deciding to always keep an eye on the pantry door when slacking off in the future.
Chi Suisui returned to her seat and directly clicked on the post.
It was indeed a popular forum post, already several pages deep.
——The extravagance of the rich is truly unimaginable. What kind of white swan can casually throw out a hundred million now?
“The poster, due to work reasons, has added quite a few internet celebrities and obscure 18th-tier celebrities. Today, I saw two or three of them posting about a private auction. When the top white swan appeared, everyone else had to step aside. I heard she spent a hundred million to bid on a small, undeveloped island, probably just to play with. So envious.”
The replies were all asking for pictures.
After all, seeing is believing.
The poster replied quickly: “No pictures. It’s not easy to post screenshots from Moments. You guys can inquire yourselves, besides, I wasn’t even there.”
As the post became hotter, more and more replies came.
“Is the white swan really beautiful or just pretending?”
“The poster made me want to see what she looks like. Whose daughter is she?”
“A hundred million... If I removed the decimal point from my savings, I could also become a top white swan.”
“Wake up, have some peanuts, don’t be drunk.”
“Didn’t anyone in Moments see what the white swan looks like?”
Chi Suisui scrolled down, not seeing her own name until this question came up. The poster’s reply finally changed.
Poster: 【Of course! Super good-looking! Excellent temperament! Perfect face! I can’t really describe it, but you can search for the one who trended on Weibo before... called Chi Suisui. It’s said they look very similar.】
This reply was directly identified as self-promotion.
Some people searched for Chi Suisui’s photos. Unfortunately, Chi Suisui wasn’t a celebrity and didn’t often take selfies, so they could only see some in interview videos.
The final consensus was that she was good-looking, but definitely not as good as the white swan’s temperament, which was something cultivated from childhood.
Chi Suisui even saw some people praising her.
Among them, one reply had the most likes——
【The difference between the two isn’t just a hundred million. Even if you piled up several hundred million in front of css now, you still wouldn’t get that kind of temperament.】
Someone then posted a picture.
It was a photo of Chi Suisui during her internship, following Chen Ruyu for an interview. Even without makeup that day, she was exquisitely beautiful like a painting.
However, the bag she was carrying in the photo was a Hermès.
【Looks like she has a little money?】
【Don’t try to compare yourself to the top white swan. Css, just be a good reporter and don’t always stir up ambiguous news.】
【Who can’t afford a Hermès bag? First come up with a hundred million before calling yourself a white swan.】
【Do you think it’s easy to get into that circle? I know a small internet celebrity who was a certain young master’s girlfriend for a week, and in the end, she only got some money and didn’t even see what the threshold looked like.】
Once someone came out with a revelation, the topic quickly shifted.
Chi Suisui scrolled further down and directly closed the post.
After all, she was still a reporter, so she didn’t attract the public’s attention much. On the contrary, last night’s island incident made people pay more attention.
“Click.”
The sound of a camera taking a picture.
Chi Suisui looked up and met Su Mian’s guilty expression.
“Chief Chi, you looked too good when you lowered your head just now, I couldn’t help it,” Su Mian raised her hand to show her innocence. “Definitely not an ugly photo.”
Chi Suisui just shook her head. “It’s okay.”
“Chief Chi, what does your boyfriend look like?” Su Mian sighed, propping her chin up with her hand. “He must be very good-looking too.”
Otherwise, how could he have won Chief Chi over?
Chi Suisui thought of last night, He Xingwang’s deep features under the night sky. Her new boyfriend’s face was of course extremely handsome.
She blinked. “As good-looking as your male god.”
“...”
Su Mian found it hard to imagine this scene.
He Xingwang’s face had been tested by the TV station’s high-definition, unedited live broadcast. It could be said that no one dared to compare themselves to him, let alone celebrities.
So when Chi Suisui said this, she became curious instead.
Moreover, according to Doctor Song, Chief Chi’s boyfriend’s surname was also He. What a coincidence, Su Mian thought to herself.
The island incident eventually leaked out.
The next afternoon, it trended online. The news revealed that someone had bought a private island at an auction for a hundred million.
They even posted a picture.
Because it was taken from inside the courtyard, and there were many people at the time, only a small part of a profile and a back view were captured.
Everyone loved to eat this kind of rich people’s gossip.
This small island was also quickly dug up. Young master Liang had spent a lot of money when he bought it before, and it had also trended back then.
【Other people’s transactions are in units of hundreds of millions, mine are in units of cents...】
【For them, a hundred million is like ten cents. For us, it’s something we can’t earn in a lifetime, so miserable.】
【Isn’t anyone going to say who bought it?】
【I heard it’s the eldest daughter of the Qi family, yes, the Qi family whose snacks you often eat!!】
This immediately caused an uproar.
Someone directly posted screenshots of the Qi family’s official website information and encyclopedia. In the public’s impression, the Qi family mainly dealt with food, but in reality, they had investments in everything from real estate to the film and television industry, and were among the top players.
The Qi family had always been low-key and rarely trended.
And although Chi Meiyuan was a musician, today’s netizens basically didn’t pay attention to these things, and even rarely paid attention to dramas.
So even the names of the boss and the boss’s wife were rarely known.
【This back view looks so good, so beautiful!】
【Those butterfly bones are amazing! They can be listed as the most beautiful back of the year, even ranking first is no problem!】
【This looks like Chi Suisui, the reporter from before, do you guys remember?】
【There’s no need for that. This was a rich people’s auction. How could a small reporter possibly go?】
As soon as the small island news came out, the He family also found out.
Jiang Huiyue called her best friend early in the morning. “Meiyuan, look, shouldn’t we set the engagement date sooner?”
Last time, He Xingwang had suggested getting married directly, but was rejected.
Setting the engagement date sooner would avoid any mishaps in the middle, and then they could directly discuss the wedding.
Chi Meiyuan said, “Okay, I’ll mention it to Suisui.”
The childhood engagement had been set before they were even born. They had been busy with this matter recently, so after getting the consent of both parties involved, they directly set it for the end of the month.
Chi Suisui sent a message to He Xingwang in the middle of the night: 【Unexpectedly, we’ve only been boyfriend and girlfriend for a few days, and we’re already getting engaged.】
She hadn’t properly enjoyed the atmosphere of being in love.
He Xingwang had just returned to his room from outside when he received the message. He took off his shirt, revealing his lean upper body.
He pondered slightly and replied: 【You can pretend we’re not engaged.】
Chi Suisui: 【?】
Chi Suisui: 【Which do you think is better, being engaged or not being engaged?】
Seeing these two questions, He Xingwang’s first reaction was that he couldn’t answer casually. He sat down and tapped his finger lightly.
Chi Suisui quickly received the answer.
He Xingwang: 【I originally wanted to get married directly.】
Speaking of this, Chi Suisui thought of the previous incident, where one big breath from her had made He’s aunt furious.
Neither family planned to hold a large engagement party.
This was also Chi Suisui’s intention.
Given her and He Xingwang’s professions, if they held a large event, with too many guests coming, they would inevitably be exposed that day.
The night before the engagement.
The engagement ring had already been delivered. She sat on the bed, looking at it. The dazzling diamond glittered under the light.
“Suisui,” Chi Meiyuan pushed open the door.
“Mom,” Chi Suisui looked up.
“It’s still not too late to regret it now,” Chi Meiyuan sat down beside her and said softly. “Your dad is actually quite sad today.”
What was originally a rather sentimental matter made Chi Suisui laugh. “Dad won’t have swollen eyes tomorrow, will he?”
“No, he won’t.”
“There’s nothing to regret,” Chi Suisui answered her question, put on the ring, and smiled brightly. “Is it pretty?”
“Pretty.”
Chi Meiyuan smiled along with her.
After she left, Chi Suisui took a picture and posted it on Moments, also considered a public announcement that she was getting engaged.
As soon as it was posted, likes and comments quickly filled the screen.
Song Chengrui: 【Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!】
Song Miaoli: 【Alright, alright, we know you’re the biggest.】
Song Chengrui: 【My sister is driving again.】
Su Mian left envious tears in the comments.
This diamond was so big it almost blinded her, and the ring design was also very unique, clearly showing effort. Sure enough, even rich people’s love could be real.
Not long after, the sisters’ group chat was also flooded.
Song Miaoli: 【Xiao He is impressive. In our Nancheng, I’m afraid no one can surpass this engagement ring.】
Song Miaoli: 【Heard Miss Jiang scolded her fiancé, hahaha.】
Speaking of Jiang Ruixue, Chi Suisui thought of the time they met in the restaurant before. She wondered if she had eaten the fish yet.
She replied: 【You’ll have one when you get engaged too.】
Song Miaoli: 【Forget it, I’m going on a date tonight.】
Today, she and Gu Nanyan had just confirmed their relationship. For this, she had prepared a very scheming gift.
Because her own family was in the jewelry business, she directly asked for a gemstone, without using any other logos.
Chi Suisui simply called her. “Doctor Song, I think anyone can see the value of that gemstone.”
“No,” Song Miaoli said. “He won’t. His taste isn’t good. I told him I bought it on Taobao for a few hundred yuan. The counterfeiting technology is so good now.”
“I don’t understand your love,” Chi Suisui wanted to complain but didn’t know where to start. “Isn’t buying islands and diamonds fun?”
“...”
Song Miaoli hung up angrily.
Chi Suisui raised an eyebrow, just about to comfort her good friend, when she noticed a new avatar in the likes on her Moments.
Then the phone rang.
“Suisui.”
He Xingwang rarely called her that; it was mostly Chi Suisui who called him.
Chi Suisui hummed in acknowledgment, then remembered their last meeting and deliberately said, “He Xingwang, change your address.”
She hadn’t heard it yet.
Chi Suisui originally thought he probably wouldn’t say it, but unexpectedly, she really heard a “girlfriend.”
His voice was low, making the address sound numbingly pleasant.
Chi Suisui pinched her ear and moved the phone a little further away. “You didn’t call tonight just to let me hear that once, did you?”
“No, nothing much.”
“Last time, Su Mian—your little fan—asked me if my boyfriend was good-looking,” Chi Suisui said casually. “Then I replied.”
He Xingwang’s eyes flickered slightly. “What?”
The calmer he was, the more amused Chi Suisui became. She curled her lips. “I said... my boyfriend is as good-looking as her male god.”
Her voice carried a hint of allure.
“If someone asks you what your girlfriend looks like now, how would you reply?” Chi Suisui lay on the bed, asking lazily.
“Very beautiful,” He Xingwang replied.
“Just two words?” Chi Suisui frowned.
“Can’t find a suitable adjective,” He Xingwang said seriously, politely and meticulously. “It’s my fault.”
“...”
Chi Suisui felt that all the love words that had circulated countless times online didn’t make her heart tremble as much as this one sentence from him.
Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink, the Milky Way brilliant.
He Xingwang stood in front of the French windows, his voice deep but light. “See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Chi Suisui’s voice softened, and she added, “Boyfriend.”
She hung up the phone first.
On the other end, after an unknown amount of time, He Xingwang moved the phone away, his gaze fixed on the screen as it went black.
Although they had said “see you tomorrow,” Chi Suisui was wide awake.
After washing up, she found that Song Miaoli had sent her a message: 【Suier, your boyfriend posted on Weibo #link】
Probably because Chi Suisui wasn’t around and didn’t receive a reply, a few minutes later she sent another new message——
Song Miaoli: 【Oh my.】
Song Miaoli: 【It’s late at night, Weibo crashed.】
With this sudden change, Chi Suisui reached out and clicked on the link. It directly led to He Xingwang’s Weibo, posted just ten minutes ago.
The new Weibo post was concise and clear, four words plus a picture.
【He Xingwang: You are the most beautiful #picture】
