Early in the morning.

Gan Qi arrived at the company on her electric scooter.

As soon as she parked downstairs at the company, Gan Qi suddenly realized that something was off.

It was only a little past 8 a.m., but the area downstairs was already packed with people.

The place where people usually swipe their cards to enter the building was surrounded by several security guards and a large group of people taking pictures with their phones and cameras.

Gan Qi had just parked the car, and hadn't even had time to take off her pink helmet.

She looked at the chaotic scene with astonishment.

Why are there so many people?

Judging by this scene, someone who didn't know better would think there had been a murder upstairs!

She was just about to take off her helmet and go upstairs, intending to ignore what these people were doing.

"Jingle Bell……"

My phone rang in my pocket.

I looked down and saw it was my best friend Tao Xixi calling.

Tao Xixi asked anxiously, "Gan Qi, did you go to the company today? Where are you now?"

Gan Qi: "Just got downstairs, Xi Xi, things are acting strange today..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tao Xixi hurriedly reminded her, "Don't go upstairs! Something's happened! Have you seen today's news? You're on the front page!"

"Ok?"

Gan Qi's mind went blank for a moment, and she didn't react.

"Wha, what do you mean?"

Tao Xixi was so anxious that she choked on her words several times, "What I mean is... your identity... is about to be exposed! Haven't you seen the news online? Even the magazines updated it this morning! It's already gone viral!"

"What happened?"

Gan Qi had a bad feeling and adjusted the helmet on her face.

"The fact that Young Master Meng is married! I don't know which reporter dug it up! And they even pinpointed his wife's workplace to this building! Oh my... it's a complete mess! But thankfully! The exposé only has one photo of your profile and back, not your face."

Gan Qi held her breath and remained completely still.

After a long while, she took a deep breath.

Gan Qi muttered to herself, "...How could this happen?"

Tao Xixi: "There are a bunch of reporters over there! They're all blocking the way downstairs! You absolutely mustn't get close. They're on high alert with all sorts of cameras and video recorders. If they recognize you, you'll be in big trouble."

That was close, thankfully I was slow to react.

Wearing a pink helmet, Gan Qi rode back on her electric scooter, pretending to be a passerby, and drove to the other side of the street.

She glanced back down at the office building, which was teeming with paparazzi and reporters.

Those people were all carrying gimbals, cameras, and even microphones clipped to their ears...

In addition, a group of well-dressed girls gathered there, holding up their phones to record videos at any time.

They chattered noisily, their faces showing surprise, curiosity, anger, and resentment.

The entrances and exits of this building are completely blocked.

...That's terrifying!

Gan Qi's hair stood on end, and she involuntarily gasped for breath.

"Xixi, what exactly did the news report say? Did it reveal my name and current address?" She asked in a very low voice.

Tao Xixi also lowered her voice: "Fortunately, not yet. They mainly emphasized your ordinary background, profession, and work location... Now a bunch of girls online are attacking you, saying you are not good enough for Young Master Meng, saying you have stolen their dreams."

Tao Xixi said with concern, "Gan Qi, although no photos of your face have been released yet, based on my experience of frequently reading gossip and following the news... your information has probably been thoroughly investigated! This is a common practice for veteran media outlets; they deliberately release only a small portion of information at first to test the public's reaction, and they will continue to release more."

Gan Qi was well aware of her current situation.

She just couldn't understand it.

"How did we get discovered out of nowhere?"

Just then, the electric scooter stopped in front of a magazine stand at the intersection.

Gan Qi immediately noticed the title on the top magazine cover:

[Shocking! The secret marriage of a wealthy young master has been exposed; a modern-day Cinderella story is unfolding!]

She bent down and pulled out a book as quickly as possible, then flipped through it in her hands.

Beside her, the chubby shopkeeper chuckled and said, "Young lady, this is the hottest news this morning! Hurry up and buy a copy to take a look!"

"The eldest son of the Meng Group is already married! How many socialites and heiresses are going to be heartbroken now."

Gan Qi's eyes, hidden beneath her helmet, were intently flipping through a magazine, growing colder with each page.

Because it's clearly stated in the magazine:

Her workplace, her physical characteristics, her orphan background, and... speculation that she's a gold digger who came from a socialite training program and specializes in hooking up with rich second-generation heirs!

"Hey, Gan Qi, are you listening?"

"Hmm... I was flipping through a magazine, and I saw the gossip."

Gan Qi stared at a blurry photo of herself taken in a building on the inside of the magazine, her shoulders trembling slightly.

At that moment, she suddenly felt as if she was being monitored from head to toe.

She got goosebumps all over her body.

His identity has been exposed... he's just short of being named.

Based on the clues provided so far, the reporters can easily pinpoint her identity with a little digging.

How to do?How to do?

Gan Qi was in a state of distress when she suddenly heard Tao Xixi on the other end of the phone say, "It's over, Gan Qi."

"what happened?"

Tao Xixi: "Someone in the online comments section has figured out the model of the electric scooter you're riding!"

"!"

Tao Xixi: "Right now, park your electric scooter in an inconspicuous spot, I'll drive to pick you up!!!"
