Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 365 The White Moonlight in the Substitute Novel (5)

"Oh dear, what's going on?! I was really enjoying it, why did it suddenly stop?" A bewildered person couldn't help but complain loudly in the bustling crowd.

Meanwhile, Zhui Feng, who had been desperately trying to find out who Gu Xiaoxiao's ex-boyfriend was, was also extremely annoyed.

He glared at the phone number marked "female scammer" on the screen of He Jing's phone, and without thinking, said indignantly, "I know without even thinking that this is another scam call. Let's hang up!"

However, before He Jing could speak up to stop them, the people standing in the front row, after a brief discussion, surprisingly worked together to hang up the phone call from Xiao Xiao, who was asking to get back together.

Immediately afterwards, the live broadcast was shown to everyone again. The atmosphere on the scene was still tense, and everyone had their own thoughts, especially Gu Xiaoxiao.

Clearly, He Jing had not expected these people to dare to hang up on him so arbitrarily.

In that instant, he almost couldn't control his impulse and almost rushed forward to snatch his phone back.

However, he ultimately suppressed the urge and, feigning composure, asked knowingly, "Who called just now?" Faced with He Jing's question, Zhui Feng casually replied, "Oh, nothing, just a scammer." After saying this, he ignored He Jing and turned back to the tense revelation of Gu Xiaoxiao's ex-boyfriend.

"Let me see if the scammer has something urgent to attend to." He Jing coughed lightly, then slowly stood up, intending to reluctantly return the call himself.

But Zhui Feng, who was completely unaware of the situation, hurriedly stopped him and advised, "Boss, it's just a trivial scam call. Don't you hate wasting time on useless things? Come on, be a good boy and sit down."

As Zhui Feng spoke, he helped He Jing back to his seat like he was coaxing a child. But who would have thought that He Jing had barely settled down when Zhui Feng himself, like a gust of wind, rushed to the front of the big screen and excitedly joined the lively discussion.

At the same time, the large screen, which had temporarily stopped playing due to an unexpected situation, started working again and switched back to the scene where Gu Xiaoxiao was ruthlessly hung up on by her ex.

In the shot, the woman's delicate and beautiful face, smooth and delicate like porcelain, is clearly visible.

As she watched the familiar string of numbers appear on her phone screen, only to have the other party hang up without hesitation, she first let out a sigh of relief, but then a look of undisguised disappointment appeared on her face.

She then quietly put her phone away, but in that brief moment, the phone number labeled "Mr. Nice Guy" flashed quickly across the screen in front of the camera.

"He didn't answer!" someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Gu Xiaoxiao's ex didn't answer her call to get back together. They were all worried that the "nice guy" ex in Gu Xiaoxiao's phone might have answered her call and agreed to get back together.

Does that mean the beautiful goddess will belong to someone else?

However, because this "Mr. Nice Guy" ex-boyfriend hung up on Gu Xiaoxiao without any mercy, many netizens began to wonder who this ex-boyfriend, whose contact name was "Mr. Nice Guy" in Gu Xiaoxiao's phone, really was.

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, a comment instantly caught everyone's attention: "[While Gu Xiaoxiao was on the phone, Li Heng also hung up an advertising call. Isn't that a coincidence?]"

At that very moment, this comment, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, suddenly created a massive wave, spreading wildly across the live stream screen at an astonishing speed.

Another comment read: "[Good news, the CP I ship is real; bad news, the CP is now broken (crying) (going crazy) (crawling in the dark)]." This short sentence was like a thunderbolt, leaving many viewers stunned and unable to calm down.

Immediately afterwards, another comment quickly appeared: "[I knew there must be something wrong with these two avoiding each other like this. Turns out they were together before!]" This comment added fuel to the fire, causing the already heated live stream to completely explode.

At this moment, a third comment appeared, not to be outdone: [All I want to know now is, was the woman whose face was covered in Li Heng's arms last night Gu Xiaoxiao? (Eating popcorn) Is there any possibility that the two of them actually didn't break up and are still entangled? (Smirking)] This speculation was like a bombshell, pushing the atmosphere of the entire live broadcast room to a climax. Everyone was discussing it, and all sorts of speculations and rumors surged in like a tidal wave.

"My girlfriend who's always chasing the wind likes Gu Xiaoxiao the most. Do you think she and Li Heng have ever had a flirtatious relationship?"

Zhui Feng gently stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Actually, my girlfriend has absolutely no opinion about who Gu Xiaoxiao has dated. On the contrary, she thinks that every couple Gu Xiaoxiao has paired up in every drama she's acted in is really adorable and makes watching them very enjoyable."

He paused for a moment, then continued enthusiastically, "In my opinion, that person is definitely Li Heng! Think about it, Li Heng and Gu Xiaoxiao have a very important thing in common—they are both passionate about charity and often actively participate in various public welfare activities. In addition, judging from the way Gu Xiaoxiao saved her ex-boyfriend's contact information, I dare say that this person is definitely Li Heng."

"Yes, yes, I also think it's Li Heng. Li Heng is a young master in the Chinese entertainment industry. He has good character, a good family background, and excellent works. He and Xiao Xiao are a perfect match!"

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly came from the crowd questioning: "But if her ex is really Li Heng as you say, then why did the two of them, who seemed so compatible, still break up?"

Faced with this question, Zhuifeng thought for a moment before answering: "The reason for this is probably that they were both in the rising stage of their careers at the time, and they were both busy rushing forward and had no time to pay attention to anything else. Therefore, they could only choose to separate temporarily to focus on their own development."

Hearing this explanation, the person who had asked the question seemed unsatisfied and immediately followed up, "But now that they have both achieved such great success, they should have enough time and energy to nurture their relationship. So why haven't they gotten back together yet?"

Zhui Feng fell into deep thought again, and after a while he replied, "Perhaps it is because they are both proud and arrogant people that neither of them is willing to take the initiative to apologize and express their desire to reconcile, which is why they have been deadlocked until now!"

The crowd in front of He Jing was discussing things enthusiastically, and He Jing, who originally had no interest in these trivial matters, miraculously listened to them all.

Although Zhui Feng is not good at judging people and mistook Li Heng for a treasure, what he said does make sense. Right now, he and Xiao Xiao are stuck in a stalemate, just as Zhui Feng said, with neither of them willing to back down first.

"So tell me, if things continue like this, what will ultimately happen to them?" He Jing finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked Zhui Feng.

Seeing that even the usually calm and collected He Jing had been completely captivated, Zhui Feng instantly became energetic and radiant. "Is there even a question? Of course they missed it! Isn't that obvious enough? You have to understand, these two are both in high positions, and their surroundings are bound to be filled with all sorts of temptations and distractions. In such a complex environment, who dares to confidently guarantee that they can always remain true to their original aspirations?"

After hearing Zhui Feng's words, He Jing felt as if he had been enlightened, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Because he had never looked at similar issues from this completely new perspective before, he found it somewhat difficult to accept at first.

After a moment of silence, He Jing slowly shook his head and murmured, "But I always feel it's unlikely... Her ex was quite an outstanding person. Since she once had such an excellent partner, it's hard for her to find anyone else appealing."

Zhui Feng was shocked that He Jing would take a liking to men other than himself, but he still expressed his opinion, "Even if an ex is outstanding, he's still just an ex, isn't he?"

"Yeah, yeah, an ex is just an ex, that's all in the past! Time is a magical thing, it can gradually wash away all the good memories!" At this moment, another person next to them chimed in to add insult to injury.

"Exactly! To me, the fact that the goddess saved her ex's contact as 'Mr. Nice Guy' seems like she's giving him a friend card." Another person chimed in, "The subtext is, 'You're great, but we're not a good match.'"

Upon hearing this, He Jing's previously calm face instantly turned gloomy, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and a few veins even appeared on his forehead.

He stood up abruptly, glaring angrily at the person who had just spoken, and shouted, "What 'friend card'? Which eye of yours saw him get a 'friend card'? And do you really know Gu Xiaoxiao? Do you know what kind of situation she and her ex are in now? You know nothing and yet you're spouting nonsense and making things up. Isn't this how rumors start to spread?!"

He Jing's sudden roar was like a thunderclap ripped through the sky, instantly silencing the previously noisy conference room. Everyone looked at each other, trembling with fear, even their breathing became cautious.

Watching the group of people chattering away about things completely unrelated to work, He Jing felt a surge of irritation. His brows furrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, and his face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water. Finally, he could no longer bear the scene. He abruptly stood up, forcefully flicked his sleeve, and strode towards the door.

"What I want is a detailed analysis report on the traffic, not your pointless gossip! If you don't give me a satisfactory answer by tomorrow morning, you'll face the consequences!" He Jing said this without turning back, then slammed the door shut and stormed off. The door slammed shut with a loud bang, echoing in the empty corridor for a long time.

Only after confirming that He Jing had gone far away did one of the slightly bolder people in the conference room timidly ask, "Boss, what's wrong with him?" The others shook their heads, indicating that they were also completely baffled.

At this moment, Zhui Feng, sitting in the front row, showed a nonchalant expression and shrugged lightly, saying, "What else could it be? He starts acting up again whenever it comes to anything related to his ex!"

"Actually, my first curiosity is who Gu Xiaoxiao's ex is, and my second curiosity is who the boss's ex is. These two are like a hidden dragon and a phoenix, they've got people so curious."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm curious too. You and Mofeng have been with the boss the longest, have you ever seen a picture of the boss's ex? Isn't there any valuable information you can exchange?"

Just as these guys were huddled together whispering and talking amongst themselves, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open with a bang!

He Jing's face was as gloomy as the clouds before a storm as he strode in.

Those cold and sharp eyes were like two beams of cold light shooting straight at the group of people who were chatting, making them shudder.

This sudden turn of events terrified the group of students who had been laughing and joking. They were just like those students who were caught sneaking around in class by their teacher and were completely flustered.

In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent. The few people who had been leisurely just moments before all lowered their heads with lightning speed and began to frantically pretend to work diligently.

Everyone moved so quickly and frantically, as if they were afraid that the slightest delay would result in an even harsher reprimand from He Jing.

And so, everyone kept their heads down, eyes glued to the documents or computer screens in front of them, fingers flying across the keyboards, all looking completely absorbed and working with all their might. No one dared to look up at He Jing standing there, much less slack off in the slightest.

Time ticked by, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Finally, after He Jing angrily picked up his phone from the conference room table and turned to leave, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
