She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

The afternoon sun streamed into the coffee shop through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Shen Qingge looked at the trending search terms constantly appearing on her phone screen, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.

The truth about Chenxing Jewelry

The Deals Behind Marriages of the Rich

The Other Side of the Chief Designer

The series of questions about dazzling colors

These topics and hashtags spread rapidly on social media platforms like a snowball, with each one pointing directly at Sumaiqi and Chenxing Jewelry.

"It seems my anonymous leaks have had an effect."

"The online army is quite efficient."

She took a sip of her Americano, a sharp glint in her eyes.

The icy liquid slid down her throat, but it couldn't extinguish the fire in her heart.

She opened Weibo and was greeted by a barrage of discussions about Su Maiqi.

Those comments were like sharp blades, stabbing viciously at the woman who always wore a gentle smile.

"This Su Maiqi is so hypocritical! On one hand, she touts female independence, and on the other hand, she uses contract marriage to climb the social ladder."

"Rich people really know how to have fun. What good is a woman no matter how capable she is? In the end, isn't she just a tool for the rich?"

"Using contractual marriage as a gimmick to design jewelry, and even calling it 'radiant and dazzling,' haha."

The comments section was filled with doubts, and some people dug up Su Maiqi's resume at Chenxing.

They questioned her status and competence as chief designer.

But to Shen Qingge's surprise, many people also spoke up for Su Maiqi:

"So what? What's wrong with a marriage of convenience? What's wrong with people using their resources for their careers?"

"Su Maqi is the true embodiment of female awakening; marriage is not an end but a means, and that's what's called intelligence."

"A capable woman should learn from Su Maqi and make the most of all resources. Now that she's successful in her career, she's far happier than many traditional marriages."

"Who has the right to interfere in other people's marriages? She dares to break free from traditional constraints, and I support her!"

Looking at these comments, Shen Qingge's fingers tightened slightly as she held the coffee cup.

What's wrong with this society?

It seems that nothing can ruin a woman's reputation—not fabricating stories, fooling the public, or becoming a tool of the wealthy for their contracts.

Can a woman who rises to the top by relying on men or uses marriage to gain workplace benefits be defined as a "strong female lead"?

As she had predicted for the online trolls, some people did indeed target Su Maiqi, attacking her character, her abilities, and Chenxing Company for deceiving the public.

However, there is still a group of "brainless fans" who have been brainwashed by feminism and firmly support Su Maiqi.

The current situation is that it's difficult to determine the winner. The buzz has definitely picked up.

Ultimately, Shen Qingge was still unsure whether the negative news surrounding Chen Xing and Su Maiqi could create an overwhelming advantage and achieve her goal.

While she was analyzing and thinking about various possibilities and solutions, another phone in her bag suddenly vibrated. The name Su Wanyu appeared on the screen.

Shen Qingge took a deep breath and answered the phone.

Before she could speak, Su Wanyu's voice, laced with suppressed anger, rang out: "Shen Qingge, are you crazy? Why are you revealing this now?"

"Wanyu, don't worry, this matter won't involve you. I won't leak the photos and information you showed me last time."

However, nothing stays hidden forever. It's not surprising that information leaked out through other channels.

"That bitch Su Maiqi is using us like this. If we don't fight back, she'll only push her luck and cause us even more trouble."

"You don't understand Gu Tingyu at all!" Su Wanyu's voice trembled slightly. "And Mo Yan, they're not to be trifled with. What if they find out it's us..."

"Are you scared?" Shen Qingge chuckled. "Are you just going to watch Su Maiqi continue to shine on stage? Not only is she the rightful wife of the president, but she's also the most famous up-and-coming designer in the country?"

Her designs always seem to outshine ours?

There was silence on the other end of the phone; these words had touched a nerve with Su Wanyu.

"I just don't want to take any risks."

Su Wanyu lowered her voice, "You have no idea how terrifying Mo Yan is. His investigative methods are even better than the police's."

Shen Qingge put down her coffee cup and looked out the window.

She needs to appease this ally; now is not the time to part ways.

"You're right, we do need to be more cautious."

She changed her tone, with a hint of apology, "I just couldn't stand her using marriage to climb the social ladder, and I acted impulsively. Besides, she climbed up by stepping on our shoulders."

Everything she has now should have belonged to you or me.

"but......"

“It’s alright,” Shen Qingge interrupted her gently, “Now that things have happened, we need to find a way to control the situation.”

By the way, there's a lavish party being held in Haicheng this weekend, and I hope you can come with me.

"A gathering of the elite?" Su Wanyu's tone changed. "What kind of gathering?"

"All of Haicheng's top celebrities will be there."

Shen Qingge continued, her voice growing even gentler, "With your fame and beauty, you'll definitely be the center of attention. And you might even encounter a better opportunity than Gu Tingyu."

She paused for a moment, letting those words settle in Su Wanyu's heart.

"Your career is already taking off, so networking more in high society will only benefit you."

She continued, "The reason Su Maiqi is so arrogant now is because she has powerful backers, isn't it? Wanyu, I hope you can also find a good partner with strength."

From now on, since we'll all be in this industry, we'll have more opportunities to do what we want to do.

There was no response on the other end of the phone, but Shen Qingge knew that Su Wanyu must have been persuaded.

Sure enough, a moment later Su Wanyu's voice came: "You're right, I should attend more events like this."

"That's great!" Shen Qingge smiled. "Dress up nicely then, and I'll introduce you to lots of people."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingge's expression became even more gloomy.

Su Maiqi always seems to have someone helping her; what incredible luck she has!

Her gaze returned to her phone screen. The comments supporting Su Maiqi continued to pour in:

"Modern women should be like Su Maqi, not bound by traditional marriage."

"She proved everything with her abilities; that's true independence. In any case, the dazzling lights are truly beautiful."

Shen Qingge gave a cold laugh.

She wanted to see if Su Maqi would stay lucky forever.

Or perhaps it's best to let her not have the good fortune to enjoy it.

At this moment, Su Wanyu fell into deep thought after hanging up the phone.

She walked to the full-length mirror and carefully examined herself.

The woman in the mirror is radiant, with a youthful appearance and endless possibilities.

But Shen Qingge is right. If she wants to develop further and have more leverage to fight against Su Maiqi, she needs greater support and assistance.

A celebrity marrying into a wealthy family is a classic combination in itself.

The value of online influencers is constantly increasing. Many second-generation entrepreneurs also want to expand their company's sales channels by partnering with online influencers.

She wasn't without a chance.
