Big socks! Do you even understand how you kiss a villain?

After watching quietly for a while, seeing her excited and breathing rapidly, Wei Ci guessed that her money-grubbing had flared up again, and reminded her, "I didn't bring any tools today, let's come back tomorrow, so as not to break them."

"I came prepared, okay!" Zuo You snorted and took out a small shovel, a flathead screwdriver about 20 centimeters long, and a dagger from her pocket.

Wei Ci stared at her pockets in shock and said, "Can you really hold that much?"

"You're the one pretending, your whole family is pretending!" Zuo You rolled her eyes at him and carefully dug the soil with a shovel.

In the original story, the female lead encountered a thousand-year-old wild ginseng on her first trip up the mountain. She brought it back and auctioned it for a high price of 30 million. Zuo You was very tempted and had prepared her tools long ago, thinking that even if she couldn't find a thousand-year-old one, a hundred-year-old one would be fine too.

Thinking of this, Zuo You looked down at the men's down jacket she was wearing, and envy flashed in her eyes.

She discovered by chance while selecting equipment at the mall that the pockets of the men's clothing were so deep that they could perfectly conceal her tools of the crime.

Most importantly, the price was cheap, and the quality was much better than the women's clothing she had bought at the same price before.

"Let me help you, you'll break it if you use too much force." Wei Ci said, then met her wary gaze. He sighed softly, "Don't worry, I'm not short of money, it's all yours."

After they finished digging, the two went down the mountain together, each returning to their own rooms to wash up and go to sleep.

However, the two were completely unaware that a trending topic about them had quietly taken over the headlines.

[Shocking! CEO of Wei Group secretly meets with his lover, engaging in passionate lovemaking for half an hour on a mountain!]

[Breaking News! The Unspeakable Secrets Between Billionaire CEO Wei and an Ordinary Person...]

[Breaking news! Paparazzi reveal that the president of a certain group has an affair with a non-celebrity on a variety show...]

A half-hour-long video was widely shared within minutes, and many edited short videos saw their popularity soar.

[Wei Ci, hurry up!]

【Be gentle, it's about to break.】

Don't move, I'll do it.

Are you even capable?!

......

Such entries were widely shared.

"President, something terrible has happened!" Secretary Liu pushed the door open without knocking for the first time, her expression extremely flustered.

"What is it?" Shen Yan, who had just finished a meeting, was somewhat displeased with her rudeness, and his dark eyes revealed a sense of pressure.

"President, look." Secretary Liu handed over her phone, speaking very quickly: "The video has spread. Although you can't see the face clearly, netizens only know that the man is President Wei of the Wei Group based on his voice. But now, many videos criticizing Miss Zuo You have also appeared."

Her first reaction upon seeing the video was undoubtedly shock, but it only took her a second to realize that Miss Zuo would never do anything to betray the president.

"Suppress this hype at all costs!" Shen Yan's clenched hands turned white as she dialed a number: "I don't care what methods you use, make sure she's not affected. If necessary, divert netizens' attention..."

After Secretary Liu left, Shen Yan looked at the overwhelming news with a cold expression and dialed Zuo You's number.

Beep beep~ Beep beep~

The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Shen Yan's lips trembled slightly as he stared at the phone screen without blinking.

Finally, the call was answered.

"Shen Yan~ I'm still sleeping..." The woman's voice was sleepy, and Shen Yan's heart, which had been in suspense, miraculously calmed down.

He softened his voice, "Then you sleep a little longer, I'll call you later."

There was no response on the other end of the phone; only the soft, even breathing reached Shen Yan's ears, indicating that she had fallen asleep again.

"Teacher Zuo, we need to collect our cell phones!"

The production team sent a girl to knock on Zuo You's door, and the director followed behind the girl, giving her meaningful glances.

The girl nodded, then suddenly pushed open the door and walked straight towards Zuo You.

"Why so early?" Zuo You sat up groggily, her hair a mess, and said, "Aren't we supposed to put away our phones at eight o'clock?"

She squinted as she spoke, preparing to check the time.

The girl darted forward and held out her hand: "Teacher Zuo, please hand over your phone! Otherwise, I'll have my salary docked."

"Huh?" Zuo You handed her the phone in a daze, her brain still a little slow to process what she was saying.

The director, standing at the door, chimed in, "It's like this, Teacher Zuo. To prevent guests from soliciting votes before the live broadcast, the production team has decided to confiscate your phones in advance."

This explanation was fairly convincing. Although Zuo You still felt something was off, her severely sleep-deprived brain didn't allow her to think too much about it.

"Can I sleep a little longer?" she asked the director, her eyes still heavy with sleep.

Last night, she went to dig for ginseng. When she fell asleep, she dreamed that ancient ginseng with legs was running around her. Zuo You was exhausted from catching them all night and was woken up twice this morning.

"Teacher Zuo, please continue. Our broadcast doesn't start until nine o'clock, so you can still get an hour of sleep."

The director quickly agreed and waved for the girl to come out.

Seeing that Zuo You had fallen asleep again, the two closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. The director put his phone away and instructed, "Go and collect all the guests' phones right away. Don't give them any more today."

God knows how nervous he was when he received the call from the largest investor; he thought they were dissatisfied and wanted to withdraw their investment.

The girl nodded and jogged to another room.

After taking a nap, Zuo You got up, washed her face, put on her down jacket, and arrived at the live broadcast site right on time.

Their task in the morning was to perform their talents in the live broadcast room to help villagers sell their crops.

The six guests sat in a circle, and the director would occasionally call on a guest to perform a talent based on suggestions from the audience in the live chat.

Zuo You, who had been preparing to perform the Yangko dance, was eagerly waiting for the director to call her name, but the morning live broadcast was almost over and the director still hadn't called her.

Even Wei Ci, who was next to her, was never chosen.

After the live stream ended, Zuo You looked at the director with some disappointment and said, "Director, why didn't you call on me today? I was all ready."

The director rolled his eyes guiltily and forced a laugh, "It's like this, Mr. Wei shouldn't interact too much with the audience today because of the company's image, but we're worried the audience will feel he's being isolated, so..."

"So you're isolating me too?" Zuo You wiped away non-existent tears, made a heartbroken gesture with both hands towards the director, and said miserably:

"In the end, I'm not good enough for him. Don't worry, director, I'm not sad, I'm really not sad..."

"Ahem~ I have something to do, you two chat!" The director glanced at the two trending topics and quickly made his escape.

"Are you alright?" Wei Ci asked, looking at the dark circles under her eyes, his tone revealing a worry he himself was unaware of.

"What's wrong?" Zuo You looked at him in confusion. Suddenly, she remembered something and leaned closer to Wei Ci to try and build rapport: "Brother, the production team must have confiscated your phone, right? Can I borrow it to make a call? Mine was confiscated early this morning."

She wanted to call Shen Yan. To be honest, it had only been less than two days, and she was already craving Shen Yan's voice.
