Chapter 709: You Promised

Speaking up to this point, Cheng Rong could not suppress it anymore as his mouth almost started to foam in anger. He did not even dare switch on his phone, because if he did, he would be spammed by multitudes of people whom he did not even know. They had gone as far as to pee and poop in front of his house, as well as pelting his property with rotted vegetables and spoiled eggs. He felt a surge of nausea upon remembering this.

“The truth? What is the truth that you want to talk about?” General Manager Bai pulled out a chair and sat down with his legs crossed.

Cheng Rong finally had someone to rant to. Of course, he poured out everything that he had been bottling up in his heart.

“Mr. Bai, why are there so many sick people in this world?”

“Are there?” Mr. Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Go on.”

Cheng Rong continued to ramble, everyone is so boneheaded, all I did was write a few sentences on the Internet, what did I do wrong? Until now, he still could not figure out what he had done wrong.

“Say, a lady, how can a single lady with no male partner get pregnant? If it’s not someone else’s child, then it must be a ghost fetus. The man has been dead for two years already, yet she still got pregnant. For all you know, she could have been sleeping around and was knocked up by another man.”

Mr. Bai smiled faintly, but his smile was cold.

Cheng Rong shuddered all of a sudden, but he did not stop talking.

“Mr. Bai, all the people in this office are crazy. You should really step in and discipline them.”

“Yes, I will,” Mr. Bai chuckled and said, “Tell me, how I should take care of this? Should I fire all of them and only keep you around?”

“That’s even better!” That was exactly what Cheng Rong had in his mind. “We should just ask them to get lost, that bunch of brainless fanatics for their idol. They can continue their idol worship for all I care, maybe they can even pay Yan Huan to spend a night with them.”

Right when he ended his sentence and before he had the chance to continue, Mr. Bai stood up and kicked him to the ground.

“Mr. Bai, what are you doing? Why are you attacking me?” Cheng Rong squealed in pain as he held his stomach.

Mr. Bai rolled up his sleeves, squatted on the floor and slapped Cheng Rong on his face.

“I know what you want to ask,” Mr. Bai crooned as he gave him another hard slap. “I’m also a fan of Yan Huan, a crazy fanatic, the kind of fan who’s beyond crazy.”

“In fact, you could say that I’m one of Yan Huan’s first fans. I’ve been a fan of her since I was in school. I would not anyone say bad things about her.”

“Obsessing over idols, huh...” Mr. Bai laughed coldly and said, “Do you know why the people in the company treat you like this?”

Cheng Rong opened his mouth. Ouch, his teeth had almost fell out from the beating.

“You want to say that I’m a brainless fanatic, right?” Mr. Bai answered on his behalf.

“Brainless my ass!” He was so angry that he swore. He punched the guy on the floor again, instantly leaving a bruise on Cheng Rong’s eye.

“Do you know how many people in our company are from Serene City? Do you know how many people were saved by Yan Huan? Do you know how much money Yan Huan had donated to help us rebuild our homes? Do you know that Yan Huan was the one who dug me out from the ground?”

“With your kind of personality, what right do you have to judge others? Have you donated any money? Have you helped others? Who are you to say such malicious words? Mr. Lu died for the people of Sea City, yet you still degraded him even though he is not here anymore. Are you even human?”

Mr. Bai would give Cheng Rong a punch to the face whenever he finished a sentence.

When he knew that there was such a person in his company, he almost wanted to slap himself. How could he have recruited such a person into his company, someone who kept firing hurtful comments at his savior?

How could he tolerate this?

He gave the snivelling coward another kick, pulled out a wallet from his pocket and threw it on the floor. He spat out the rest of his words coldly.

“Get lost, here are your treatment fees. If you want to sue, just do it. But let me warn you, beware of the people of Sea City, they may stone you to death.”

Upon saying that, he rolled down his sleeves slowly and buttoned up his cuffs. Once again, he looked like a civilized, successful gentleman. He sat in front of his working desk again, turned on his computer and navigated to Yan Huan’s Weibo.

“As a matter of fact, I really am a crazy fan.” He could not help laughing at himself.

“So what if I’m brainless? I’m happy with it, there’s nothing you can do to me.”

Cheng Rong was beaten up so badly that he was unrecognizable, and he was immediately thrown out by the company’s security personnel. Sometimes one should not look down at these so-called crazy, brainless fans, as they could do extremely scary stuff.

Of course, they would not have gone crazy if they were not provoked.

However, Yan Huan would not know about these. She still refused to face the media and appear in public.

She held the phone over to her ear, with a hint of helplessness.

“Yan Huan, are we friends?”

“Yes, we are,” Yan Huan let out a breath softly. They were not just friends, but best friends for two lifetimes.

“Yue Ran, what’s the matter? Just spill it, don’t beat around the bush. This is so not you.”

“Does that mean that you say yes?” Yue Ran still did not elaborate. It seemed like he was laying down a trap for Yan Huan to jump inside, and Yan Huan certainly knew that as well. But this time it appeared that she really did have to walk into the trap.

“Just come out with it, we’ll assume that I said yes.”

Can she not say yes? She could refuse anyone, but certainly not Yue Ran.

Apart from the friendship of two lifetimes as well as the things he had done for Linlang, she truly was grateful to him.

And Yan Huan could hear the joy in Yue Ran’s voice.

“Accept an advertisement, I’ll be your makeup artist, is there any problem?”

“An advertisement...” Yan Huan sunk herself into the soft sofa and said, “You do know that I have not accepted any advertisement or ambassadorship for two years, right?” Yeah, it really had been two years. She had no interest in acting or shooting for an advertisement now. She did not feel like filming one, nor was she willing to film.

“But you promised.”

She could hear that Yue Ran’s earlier joy had remained in his voice. “That’s it, you promised.”

“Yes, I promise.”

Yan Huan closed her eyes and continued, “So I want to sleep now.”

“Go then, remember to come over to the office tomorrow.” Yue Ran was not even worried if Yan Huan would back out, because she had already promised.

Yan Huan hung up the phone and set it aside. She closed her eyes, hugging a pillow to her chest. Perhaps she did not feel sleepy now, but the room was so warm and cozy that she slowly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, she really did go to the company to start shooting the advertisement. However, it still depended on what kind of advertisement it was. If it happened to be a lingerie or sanitary pad advertisement, then she would have to apologize to them and reject the job.

She would never agree to shoot this kind of advertisements.

“I knew that he can invite you over.”
