Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1749 Ode to Joy + First Half of Life 13

Andy still prefers to handle her personal problems alone, while Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer have tried to clarify the truth of the matter by posting online multiple times. However, at this moment, under the manipulation of the person behind the scenes, no one is willing to care about the truth anymore. Everyone just wants to make this sex scandal even bigger.

When Qu Xiaoxiao received Fan Shengmei's call, she was a little puzzled. After all, her relationship with Fan Shengmei had been visibly strained before, and she couldn't think of any reason why Fan Shengmei would call her.

After listening to Fan Shengmei's account, Qu Xiaoxiao, who had already learned a lot from the entertainment industry, immediately made a decision: "I have a public relations team that I can lend to Andy for the time being. But now I suggest that the publicity department of Shengxuan Group also cooperate. After all, if their senior executives cause a crisis of trust, then the entire Shengxuan Group will also be affected."

Fan Shengmei was surprised that Qu Xiaoxiao was quite professional, so she hung up the phone with peace of mind and relayed Qu Xiaoxiao's advice to Andy.

Since Shengxuan Group was involved, Andy quickly called Tan Zongming. Tan Zongming was much more straightforward and said he was willing to connect with Qu Xiaoxiao's public relations team to help Andy get through this unexpected disaster smoothly.

At the same time, Tan Zongming apologized to Andy: "I'm sorry, Andy, Shengxuan Group cannot speak up for you immediately because it is not the right time for the group to get involved in this matter."

Andy was very understanding. "It's okay, Lao Tan. You've already prepared to connect with Xiao Qu's professional team, right? As long as things go smoothly, I don't care about anything else."

Tan Zongming couldn't help but add insult to injury for Wei Wei: "Andy, let me first clarify that I'm not interfering in your personal life, but rather speaking objectively. Wei Wei's performance really doesn't match the level of someone who has participated in a national-level economic forum."

Andy wasn't stupid; she took Tan Zongming's advice to heart. "I understand, Lao Tan. I'll find a way to find out the truth about all of this."

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately summoned her own public relations team, and Shengxuan Group then came to take over. The professional team's advice was not to make a big fuss, but to directly find the poster and have her come forward to clarify the truth of the matter.

Qu Xiaoxiao immediately contacted Yao Bin, who was always very helpful. The next day, he took Qu Xiaoxiao to find the poster, A Guan Nan.

"A-Guan-Nan" is her nickname. She was classmates with Qu Xiaoxiao and Yao Bin. Her family runs a hardware business, but business has been slow lately. A-Guan-Nan is pursuing Wei Wei, a former business partner of her family. However, she discovers that Wei Wei has someone he likes, so she decides to take a risky approach and get rid of Andy, the girl Wei Wei likes, so that she can take his place.

Qu Xiaoxiao and Yao Bin staged a scene with their men, capturing footage of A Guan Nan boasting about Qing Cheng and her statements. With the video, they threatened A Guan Nan to take the initiative to clarify and apologize online again, and that would be the end of the matter.

But both Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao felt that there was one person they absolutely could not overlook in this matter—the missing male protagonist, Wei Wei.

As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao returned to the 22nd floor, she went straight to 2201. Upon meeting Wei Wei, she couldn't help but complain to Andy: "Andy, although President Wei is quite successful in his career, I'm not saying this to be mean, but in terms of height, appearance, and temperament, he is actually not a good match for you!"

Andy said to Qu Xiaoxiao with a smile, "I don't care about those external conditions; I value his intelligence more."

Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to give it one last try: "Intelligence is one thing, but character is also very important. Andy, you're so wonderful, you deserve someone who's good-looking, intelligent, and has a good character!"

Fan Shengmei, who had just finished get off work and came over to check on the situation, overheard these words and couldn't help but sigh, "A good-looking appearance plus a decent brain, just those two things alone can filter out so many people, do you have a concept of that, Xiao Qu?"

Qu Xiaoxiao retorted, "Putting everything else aside, Andy and my sister are people who are good-looking, intelligent, and have good character. And there's He Han, the guy who rear-ended my sister before. He's good-looking and intelligent, but his character is a little lacking. But he's still much better than President Wei."

Fan Shengmei was speechless after being rebuked by Qu Xiaoxiao, and Andy quickly smoothed things over: "Yes, yes, thank you, Qu, Fan, Qiu and Guan. Our boss said he'll treat you to dinner another day as a thank you."

Fan Shengmei was slightly excited, while Qu Xiaoxiao jumped up with joy: "Your boss? Andy, are you talking about Tan Zongming, that guy with connections in Shanghai?"

Andy looked at the overly excited Qu Xiaoxiao with amusement: "I didn't know that Lao Tan would be a 'background person' in your eyes."

Qu Xiaoxiao said with a grin, "That's how Yao Bin introduced me back then. He's a big shot in Shanghai, a financial tycoon, someone I'd never have the chance to meet in my entire life."

After her initial excitement subsided, Fan Shengmei regained her composure and quickly declined, saying, "Your boss doesn't need to treat me to dinner, Andy. We're all neighbors, we see each other all the time, it's only right that we help each other out. Besides, it was mainly Xiao Qu who did the work, the rest of us were just messengers."

Andy disagreed with Fan Shengmei's words: "Xiao Fan, don't refuse. Xiao Qu did put in the most effort, but you, Xiao Guan, and Xiao Qiu all feel the same way about me."

Qu Xiaoxiao wasn't going to stand on ceremony and readily agreed: "Alright, I'll go with whatever your boss says. Just do whatever's convenient for you."

Turning to Andy, he said, "Andy, you don't need to thank me again. In any case, my sister's small company has gained a lot of prestige in the industry by being able to connect with Shengxuan Group this time. Besides, President Tan paid for it, so please don't thank me too much."

Andy then thought of Qu Xinxin and suggested, "Xiao Qu, why don't you invite Xinxin to the banquet? You said your company belongs to Xinxin, right? I haven't seen her in a long time, and I don't know why, but I feel like Xinxin and I hit it off immediately."

Qu Xiaoxiao was naturally more than happy to take Qu Xinxin out to broaden her horizons, but unfortunately, she couldn't make decisions for Qu Xinxin, so she could only lay out the unpleasant truth upfront: "Andy, you should know my sister's temperament by now. She wasn't involved in this matter, so I'm afraid she might not be willing to attend your boss's thank-you banquet. I can only pass on your message."

Listening to Andy and Qu Xiaoxiao's conversation, Fan Shengmei couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. Even though she was quite curious about Qu Xinxin, she wasn't as obsessed as Andy, who actually took the initiative to introduce her to a financial tycoon like Tan Zongming.
