“Cheng She, what are you doing? Why didn’t you report to me when Yin Xun made a move?” Si Fan questioned angrily.
Cheng She pretended not to know what had happened and said righteously, “President Si, I’m trying my best to use up Yin Xun’s money! I’ve been very busy recently, so 1 didn’t notice Yin Xun’s movements. President Si, what exactly happened? 1 didn’t hear any news.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Cheng She’s excuse was flawless. Si Fan actually did not know what to say for a moment.
It was not until he heard Cheng Shi’s question that he said, “Yin Xun’s side has a short video app called Rhythm. Although it didn’t advertise much, it’s getting quite popular. You’ve been in Xintao for so long, did you not notice?”
Cheng She had barely spoken one word when Si Fan, who was on the other end of the line, abruptly said, “Could it be that Yin Xun discovered your identity and deliberately hid it from you? If your identity is exposed, our only option is to bring you back…”
Cheng She was shocked by these words. He had been faring very well at Xintao. Although it was very annoying to be frequently questioned by Si Fan, this was the only trouble he faced lately.
He did not have to work overtime here and did not have to worry about being scolded. If he returned to Blue Fox, he might suffer again.
“President Si, don’t worry. My identity hasn’t been exposed!” Cheng She did not wait for Si Fan to finish speaking and quickly interrupted him. “It wasn’t easy for me to gain Yin Xun’s trust. Now, I’m in charge of a project and even became her assistant. If you move me back, wouldn’t all my previous efforts be in vain? If you do that, it won’t be easy to plant a spy beside Yin Xun again.
“Don’t worry, I’ve always followed your instructions and spent Yin Xun’s money with all my might. You must have seen the information about Xintao’s game, right? Look at the fancy graphics and 3D models. 1 spent a lot of money…”
“Alright, I’m not interested in that. It’s fine as long as I’m not discovered.” Si Fan interrupted him impatiently. “I’m calling you to ask you about the short video app. Try to find out what Yin Xun is planning with this software. Also, think of a way to let Xintao and Blue Fox fight. The fiercer they go at each other’s throats, the sooner 1 can make a comeback.”
“Alright, President Si!” Cheng She thought about how Blue Fox was burning money for activities. He deliberated for a moment and asked, “President Si, what’s the situation with Blue Fox now?”
Si Fan immediately became vigilant. “Why are you asking this?”
“Ahem.” Cheng Shi coughed lightly and said, “Didn’t you ask me to make Xintao and Blue Fox fight each other? I can only decide on the best course of action if I know the situation on Blue Fox’s side.”
There was no problem with what he said. Si Fan finally let down his guard and started gloating. “Those people are utter fools. They spent so much money on the event. They’re trying to imitate Xintao’s previous methods. It’s a pity that they didn’t do their homework. The outcome wasn’t ideal. It was a fruitless task. After doing so much, Blue Fox still didn’t recover. They only improved the reputation a little.”
Cheng She was speechless. He cursed in his heart. ‘Weren’t you the one who ruined Blue Fox’s reputation? And now you’re mocking people for only salvaging some of that reputation. How shameless.’ However, Cheng She obviously did not dare to say this out loud.
Suddenly, he heard a call from a woman from Si Fan’s side, followed by the sound of a whimper.
Cheng She heard Si Fan shouting some distance from the microphone, “Can’t you see that I’m busy?!” After yelling, he said to Cheng She, “Don’t forget what I told you just now. Watch Yin Xun for me. If anything happens in the future, you learn the consequences!”
With that, Si Fan hung up.
Cheng She could not tell if the voice just now was Si Xia’s or Yin Mo’s, but it sounded quite pitiful. Cheng She sighed. No matter who it was, they were unlucky to be with Si Fan.
After a while, Cheng She bought some things and hurried back. He had been out for too long, and he might easily arouse suspicion. His identity was a touchy matter, to begin with.
After returning to the office, he logged into the Rhythm page while working on the game, occasionally monitoring the situation.
Rhythm had been released for a day, and the number of users steadily increased. This time, no one was causing trouble, so nothing unusual happened.
Yin Xun only watched the situation for a while before leaving. Mi Jin took over the monitoring after that. Nothing significant happened until he got off work. The short video app was operating normally and there were no bugs. He finally felt relieved..
