Gan Qi just wanted a bowl of noodles.

She sat in the corner, confused by the loud conversation of these people.

It's really strange. Are they filming some documentary outside... or doing some public service announcement?

She knew that sometimes these rich people would occasionally do some charity, publicity and the like.

However, when she looked out around the street, she saw no camera stands.

In addition, these people along the way praised Young Master Lian wave after wave, and Gan Qi had a big question in his mind: Who were these words meant for?

If those terrible things had not happened before, Gan Qi might have believed that Lian Shengpi was a good person.

But she had seen his terrible side and his true face, and at this moment, she only felt that he was hypocritical.

The compliments from passersby made Gan Qi feel as if... as if he had accepted money from Lian Shengpi.

Because it was too deliberate.

Gan Qi didn't want to pay attention to all this, so she took out her cell phone to check the news.

I casually opened the website and saw an even more terrifying scene.

...The screen is full of reports about Lian Shengpi’s charity work!

In the news video, Lian Shengpi wore a simple white shirt and smiled gently at the camera, talking about his harmonious philosophy of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Gan Qi really didn't want to see this person, so she swiped him away with her finger.

But after the message was swiped away, a similar piece of news appeared immediately afterwards:

——The host reported on the hospitals and nursing homes invested and built by Lian Shengpi, as well as his "heartwarming deeds" of sponsoring children and donating tables, chairs and books to poor children.

"Oh my god!"

Gan Qi couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"Are rich people now also trying to establish a persona? They're not like celebrities who rely on a persona to make money, so what's the point?"

Gan Qi was certain in his heart: Lian Sheng Pi must have done too many bad things in the past, and he must have something to hide, so he deliberately created this positive image.

I was scrolling through the video frantically when Tao Xixi suddenly called.

Gan Qi was extremely depressed and told her best friend about the bizarre experience she had just had.

"Hey, Xixi, do you know what I saw? You wouldn't believe it if I told you."

Tao Xixi: "What did you see?"

Gan Qi lowered her voice. "I saw Lian Shengpi! He was helping an old lady cross the street, and my phone felt like it had a virus... No matter how hard I scrolled, it was just news about him. It was terrifying."

Tao Xixi: "Ah? You didn't see it wrong?"

Gan Qi: "It's definitely him. I'd recognize him even if he turned into ashes!"

Tao Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it... I actually think I saw his public service video this morning! But it wasn't as exaggerated as you say. I only saw one."

Gan Qi was puzzled: "My phone kept getting messages one after another. Could it be hacked?"

Tao Xixi: "...No way, the hackers broke in to push ads?"

Gan Qi: "Otherwise, this fact is really inexplicable."

Tao Xixi thought for a moment and said, "Who knows what these rich people are up to? Maybe they're preparing for an election?"

Gan Qi thought about it and suddenly felt that this reason was quite reasonable.

"possible."

"But what he did was too exaggerated. He was clearly a black-hearted capitalist, but he actually created an appearance of truth, goodness and beauty."

Tao Xixi on the other end of the phone sighed heavily:

"Actually, he's quite handsome, but his actions are horrible... If you hadn't told me about his misdeeds, I wouldn't have believed he was so cruel."

Tao Xixi whispered to her bestie, "Hurry up and go upstairs after dinner. Don't let him see you, or he might have any bad intentions."

Gan Qi: "Well, I'll just pack it up... and go back upstairs to eat later. Fortunately, he's on the side road, so he shouldn't be able to see me."

Tao Xixi:

"Okay, okay, I'm coaxing my boyfriend right now. I called you to tell you that we can't have hotpot tomorrow! I won't be going to the studio for the next two days. I'll be repairing my relationship with my little boyfriend. Compared to work, love is more important, hehe."

Gan Qi hummed with a smile:

"I knew it! Who said before that he would work hard with me to make money? But now he's completely in love."

Tao Xixi: "It's so hard to find love! Don't blame me, you even got married in a flash..."

Speaking of flash marriage, Tao Xixi was afraid of evoking bad thoughts in Gan Qi, so she quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, Gan Qi, when you go upstairs later, be careful to see if anyone is following you. Be careful not to be targeted by Lian Shengpi's men... Actually, Lian Shengpi's behavior is quite strange right now."

"It's well known that the eldest son of the Lian family has never liked to show up in public. He's ruthless, ruthless, and decisive in his actions, but he rarely appears in public... I always find it unusual that he suddenly became so high-profile this time."

Gan Qi nodded: "Yes, it is indeed abnormal."

The two best friends thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

hang up the phone.

The boss came over with a smile: "Miss Gan, would you like a bowl of noodles like before?"

Gan Qi thought for a moment and said, "Forget the noodles for now. Let's order a rice bowl to go. Please make it quicker."

"okay!"

Gan Qi looked around and glanced out the window, but Lian Shengpi was gone.

The atmosphere on this street was too weird, and she wanted to pack up and go upstairs as soon as possible.

Gan Qi used to eat at this small, fly-infested restaurant often, and the owner had become a familiar face.

Now she just wanted her boss to work faster, carry the things upstairs, and lock the studio door.

Fortunately, the boss was really fast, and he kept saying while packing:

"Oh, that Young Master Lian is such a good man. He has done so many good things! He is a great philanthropist."

Another diner said, "Yeah, my friend works at his company, and he said Young Master Lian's frequent charity work is definitely not exaggerated."

Boss: "You know that too? I heard he set up a foundation specifically for disabled children..."

Gan Qi got a headache after hearing this and almost ran away with the packed rice.

She felt as if everyone had become an NPC.

Along the way, the whole street was deserted and eerie.

Back upstairs to the studio.

She double-checked several times that the door was locked.

Looking at the familiar working environment, she felt like she was back in the normal world.

"What's going on! What's going on!"

Gan Qi pulled his ears and slapped his face, it hurt; he twisted his thigh, it still hurt.

——This is not an illusion.

Why has the world suddenly become so strange?

Sometime half an hour later.

Lian Shengpi sat back in his CEO's office, rubbing his neck tiredly.

"How's the effect?" he asked in a cold voice.

The assistant next to him reported cautiously:

"Boss, everyone on this street memorized the lines according to our instructions. Her phone was precisely pushed with content about your charity work."

Lian Shengpi: "Did she see me carrying the old lady across the street?"

"I saw it! The moment she came downstairs, the director made all-around arrangements and the timing was perfect."

"Very good, this is the first step of the plan." Lian Shengpi nodded with satisfaction.
