Chapter 912: Chapter 910: Ran Straight Into the Barrel (Part 1)

Indeed, shoes from these international brand stores are simply not something an ordinary wage earner like her can afford. Even the cheapest pair costs as much as her monthly salary.

"Sister Fang, are you buying a pair for Brother Zhihao? Many of these shoes are handmade and very comfortable!"

Tian Fang grinned, "Nuonuo, at this price that feels like cutting my flesh, do you think I can afford it?"

Nuonuo held the boots and was momentarily stunned.

After a while, she looked at Tian Fang with a face full of guilt and said, "Sister Fang, I’m sorry!"

Tian Fang was flustered, "Oh dear, my little ancestor, what are you apologizing to me for no reason? You haven’t done anything wrong to me!"

Nuonuo put the boots back on the shelf, turned around, and faced Tian Fang, speaking seriously.

"Sister, look, I only took one acting job this year. Your pay is basic salary plus commission, right? If I take on more jobs and earn more, your income will also increase!"

Tian Fang was also stunned. When did this girl become so astute? She thought Nuonuo didn’t care about money at all.

It turned out that her nonchalance was because she had it herself and habitually regarded money lightly.

"Sister, don’t worry. After the Spring Festival, I will work harder. By then, as long as you think a job is OK, just take it for me!"

To be honest, Tian Fang was indeed a bit moved.

"Silly girl, your work can’t be decided just because I say OK; it has to be approved by the four clever people in your family before you can take it!"

Tian Fang felt that, looking across the whole entertainment industry, she might be the agent with the least initiative. Yet even so, she still felt good following this little ancestor, especially now, the feeling was particularly strong!

Nuonuo, however, cheekily winked at her and made an adorably silly face, "Sister, don’t worry, as long as you think it’s OK, I have a way to make them nod and agree!"

Tian Fang was crying and laughing, reaching out to pat her forehead, "Then if things go wrong, am I the principal culprit or an accomplice?"

She was still young and cherished her life, not wanting to be hunted down by any of the four people from the Ji Family, who could easily cover the sky with one hand!

"It’s none of your business; it’s all my business. The career is mine after all!" Nuonuo was quite heroic and generously took all responsibility on herself.

Reluctantly as she might admit it, Tian Fang had to acknowledge that right now she was indeed deeply moved by this silly girl!

The hard work and dedication she’d put in for over a year had not been in vain!

Meanwhile, while Tian Fang and Nuonuo were splurging in the shopping mall, Da Bao at Yang Sheng’s office received a call from the chief editor of a well-known media outlet.

"Hello, President Zhang!" Da Bao answered the phone, already sensing something was off.

"Young Master Yu, we just received an anonymous tip with in-depth info about your younger sister. I’m sending it to you now for you to see?"

Da Bao slightly frowned, almost guessing who the informer was without thinking. "The informer’s surname is Qu?"

The chief editor remained silent, implicitly confirming.

"I’ve received the information, thank you, President Zhang. I’ll need your help sorting this out moving forward."

This wasn’t the first time, and naturally, it wouldn’t be the last.

"Understood, Young Master Yu. Rest assured, if even a bit of this information leaks, you can hold me accountable!"

After hanging up the phone, Da Bao opened the data he had just received. Although many of the contents were factual, they lacked concrete evidence. Most were conjectures by the informer, the most compelling being a photo of Nuonuo and Yang Sheng in a close embrace.

Da Bao’s lips curved slightly upwards, his eyes brimming with sarcasm.

"What’s wrong? Who’s foolish enough to bump their head on Mr. Ji’s gun muzzle?"

Yang Sheng, who was originally busy on the side, knew Ji Dabao very well. Seeing that chilling smile in his eyes, he couldn’t help but feel curious.

This nephew of his was indeed much more inscrutable compared to Ji Rui, the cold-faced CEO.

He hardly angered easily and seemed to be a mild-mannered person on the surface, but in reality, he was a deeply-hidden figure. Known as the Little Demon King since childhood, he was later transformed into a positive person by his sister, but some dark inherent nature was deeply rooted in his bones, forever unchangeable.

"Who else, but the guy who came to pick up Nuonuo earlier."

Da Bao said while slightly moving the laptop to let Yang Sheng clearly see the detailed, illustrated report that stood no chance of seeing the light of day.

Yang Sheng glanced over it briefly and shook his head, "Tsk, this kid is quite bold, driven mad by money, huh! If this report hits the streets, not to mention you guys won’t let him off, I wouldn’t let him go either."

Because that Mr. Qu, besides speculating that Si Han was the biological niece of the Yang Family, also made another guess that Si Han was actually Ji Rui’s goddaughter, giving her a tenuous familial connection to the Yang Family...

These days, any relationship involving a ’god’ prefix could easily stir many unsavory associations, especially in the entertainment industry. Terms like god-sister, godfather, goddaughter, and godson mostly served to mask some undisclosed ties.

In truth, ever since Nuonuo decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry fully, both Nuonuo and the Ji Family were mentally prepared for the eventual public discovery of Nuonuo’s surname Ji.

To them, knowing it was no big deal, but such knowledge should come through proper means, not through sensational gossip reports.

And this Mr. Qu, besides exploiting her background for hype, added subjective speculation to invigorate the hype and attract attention. He probably didn’t realize that those last speculative words alone were enough to multiply his guilt!

Because, although Nuonuo is indeed an adopted child, both the Ji Family and Yang Family have always treated her as their biological child.

To them, even though Nuonuo doesn’t carry the Ji Family’s blood, she grew up eating the Ji Family’s food, enjoying their love and education, making her a true member of the Ji Family. For outsiders to interfere using societal perspectives and values is not only superficial and ignorant but also infuriating!

"Is everything settled?"

Yang Sheng wasn’t really worried about Da Bao sparing Mr. Qu, but he still asked.

"Yes, all taken care of!"

Before answering Yang Sheng, Da Bao had already forwarded the report that the chief editor sent him to Mr. Mai’s email. He believed the resolution would come quickly!

"Don’t be too harsh..." At this moment, Yang Sheng even had the thought to joke.

Da Bao shrugged, "This isn’t my matter; it’s Mr. Mai’s!"

Delegating such tasks was Da Bao’s forte!
