"What do you mean 'but'?"

Xu Changjian hurriedly asked.

"But, just having a symbolic sniff should be okay, right?"

Qin Feng spread his hands.

"…Alright!"

Xu Changjian clenched his teeth and reluctantly agreed.

Just a sniff anyway; worst case, he could just hold his breath.

Plus, he knew his grandma well, aware of her eagerness to join the ranks of the wealthy—it might eventually lead her to really force him to eat it.

Next.

Xu Changjian, holding his breath, lifted the cow dung to his nose and pretended to sniff it.

Just as he was about to set it down.

Qin Feng secretly smirked, and suddenly kicked a small stone with his foot!

The small stone hit Xu Changjian's leg, making him cry out, "Ouch," losing his balance, he lurched forward and ended up with cow dung smeared all over his face, even getting some in his mouth!

"Ah—!!!"

Xu Changjian screamed disgustingly, echoing through the hall.

"Brother Jian, Brother Jian? I told you there's no need to eat it, just sniffing was fine, why did you go ahead and eat it, ai…"

Qin Feng pretended to rebuke from the side.

…

The next day.

With expectations from the entire Xu family, Xu Yunxiao headed to Haohan Company.

She was also quite uncertain.

After all, she didn't know anyone in Haohan Company, nor why they specifically asked for her by name to discuss collaboration.

Upon reaching the reception area.

Shen Lu came over with a smile to greet, "Yunxiao, long time no see!"

"Is it you?!"

Upon seeing her, Xu Yunxiao immediately frowned.

She and Shen Lu used to be friends, but Shen Lu was jealous of her beauty, so once she got her drunk, trying to hand her over to a young master, but Qin Feng unexpectedly intervened and stopped it. Since then, Xu Yunxiao didn't keep in touch with Shen Lu.

Now Shen Lu didn't dare to offend Xu Yunxiao, hurriedly stepping forward to please her: "Yunxiao, I was wrong about what happened before, I've recognized my mistake, can you forgive me? Or should I kneel and kowtow to you?"

Xu Yunxiao, soft-hearted, seeing her genuinely apologize, didn't say much else, merely asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to handle the signing with you!" Shen Lu sat down smiling, saying, "Starting from now, Luo Hongyan's twelve concerts are all in your hands!"

Xu Yunxiao suddenly realized and said, "So it was you who named and requested to sign with me?"

"No, I don't have that authority." Shen Lu hurriedly waved her hands, she didn't dare take credit.

"Then who?"

Xu Yunxiao mumbled, "I don't know President Jiang either!"

"Don't worry about who it is, just know it's a good thing for you, hurry and sign!" Shen Lu smiled.

Xu Yunxiao couldn't figure it out, but seeing no unreasonable demands from the other party, she quickly signed.

"Ah, I'm really envious of you, having such a good husband…"

Shen Lu said enviously.

"Envious of me?"

Xu Yunxiao laughed bitterly, "That good-for-nothing husband of mine?"

"You can't say that! Mr. Qin… oh no, your husband Qin Feng is an exemplary person, graceful like a scholar, truly a dragon and phoenix among people!" Shen Lu hurriedly said, "Really, you're so enviable, if I were you, I would treat him so well."

"…"

Xu Yunxiao was puzzled.

She used to mock her with Qin Feng's incompetence, what's going on today?

And.

Her attitude towards her today was also too enthusiastic.

She has become the Vice General Manager of Haohan Company. Even grandma has to bow and greet her, yet she's so kind to herself...

...

Three days later.

The news of Luo Hongyan starting her national tour spread across Lake City! For character sheets and glossaries, visit *.

It even made the headlines in the Lake City Daily!

Many fans of Luo Hongyan were extremely excited.

Of course.

The most thrilled was the Xu family.

These pieces of news were released by Shuimu Company, which was responsible for the concert.

The entire Xu family felt proud due to their collaboration with Haohan.

Especially Mother-in-law Li Cuilan, these past few days she's been grinning from ear to ear, like she found gold.

In the morning.

While the family was having breakfast, Li Cuilan spoke, "Qin Feng, look at how well Yunxiao's career is doing, and here you are just a mere waiter at Wanfu Building, completely embarrassing my family. How about this, when Yunxiao makes some money, she gives you twenty to thirty thousand, and then you divorce her, how about that?"

"Ptui!"

Qin Feng almost spat out the porridge he was drinking.

Twenty to thirty thousand?

She speaks as if she's brushing off a beggar, who would divorce whom, how foolish!

"What, is that too little? You've been living off us for three years, giving you twenty to thirty thousand is a lot!" Li Cuilan added, "Here, I'll throw in another five thousand, twenty-five thousand, how about that?"

Qin Feng pretended not to hear and continued eating.

Li Cuilan glared at him, then turned to Xu Yunxiao, advising, "Yunxiao, you're doing so well now, don't you feel ashamed being with such a loser? He listens to you, tell him to get out of our house..."

"Mom!"

Xu Yunxiao said frustratingly, "I'm already troubled enough, can I just eat in peace?"

"Troubled, things are going well right now, what's there to be troubled about?"

"Things aren't as smooth as I imagined," Xu Yunxiao frowned and sighed, "I'm done eating, I need to go to the company and get busy."

Initially, everything was going smoothly.

But suddenly, rumors began circulating that Luo Hongyan's concert was a hoax!

Under the post made by Shuimu Company, many anonymous accounts claimed Luo Hongyan's voice was already damaged, that she could never sing again, and urged everyone to be vigilant and not be deceived.

They even posted some proof of Luo Hongyan's vocal cord damage, like exam and lab results from various major hospitals.

This situation would directly affect the pre-sale of concert tickets and possibly the involvement of some sponsors.

If Haohan Company felt that she couldn't do well in her first concert, then future collaborations would certainly fall through.

Thus, Xu Yunxiao was very worried and had been putting in overtime daily.

After she left.

Qin Feng also put down his bowl, saying, "I'm full too, I have to go to work."

Li Cuilan murmured displeased curses, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Recently you're not even washing the dishes..."

Qin Feng ignored her and went out directly.

At the Wanfu Building office.

He browsed through various web forums about posts claiming Luo Hongyan had vocal injuries, his eyebrows knitted tightly.

Shen Lu reported from the side, "We are trying to find out who leaked the hospital lab results and doctor's diagnosis, but it's not going smoothly. The other party did not bribe the doctors or hospitals, it seems they stole the documents, it's hard to trace but we are working hard."

"What about those paid commenters spreading the rhythm?" Qin Feng asked.

"We did find a bunch, but all small fish. The main person goes by the ID 'Black-eyed Knight,' and they use a foreign network, hard to trace," Shen Lu frowned, "They obviously came prepared."

"Yeah!" Qin Feng leaned back in his chair.

Those willing to use such rare Gu Worm to harm Luo Hongyan surely have significant backing.

"What should we do next? Should we have Miss Luo step forward, break these rumors, and dispel the negative influence?" Shen Lu asked.

"We'll need her to appear, but let's wait until tomorrow night," Qin Feng said, "Tomorrow night is Qixi Night, and I want her to dazzle Lake City!"
