Chapter 239: The Great Detective
Chapter 239: The Great Detective
Let’s put Duan Ye’s plot point aside for now. Even if it can’t be achieved now, it should be almost there after watching the movie and meeting Du Honggen.
What Zhao Ruoming was more concerned about was the situation at 584. Ever since she made the bet with Di Wanshu, she had been feeling vaguely uneasy.
Di Wanshu has a rich family background, many hidden cards, and most importantly, a dark and mean heart. The other party has always known the movements of 584, but Zhao Ruoming knows nothing about the thoughts of this bastard. With such an opponent, it is really a fight between two people.
In the sea of consciousness, Zhao Ruoming remotely connected to 584 and asked, "How is the target of the explosion?"
Zhao Ruoming's sea of consciousness is the only hidden and safe place at present. Because she is the master controller of the brain, no one can enter without her permission, not even Di Wanshu.
584 said: "Huangfu Jin's team is professional. They have planned a route for me and Feng Baobao. Listen to it.
"Now is the era of traffic being king, and discussion is very important. Moreover, short videos often have greater traffic and can give rise to popular memes. Huangfu Jin plans to split the stolen original video into small segments and put them on various short video websites..."
This plan sounds feasible, but Zhao Ruoming's heart did not relax: "Then what?"
"Then, they hyped up things like 'genius children' and 'little adults'." 584 said, "Huangfu Jin spent a lot of money to promote it, buy trending searches, and artificially create a few hot memes, such as 'having a sense of class at a young age' and 'seeing a hint of death in a three-year-old child'."
When it comes to making people famous, rich people are more professional.
584 said: "Of course, this is not enough. It would be best to buy a few negative trending searches, provoke quarrels, abuse fans, etc. Then take it out of context, cut out a few clips to blacken the baby, and then find a marketing account to whitewash it."
Zhao Ruoming was familiar with these routines. He tilted his head and said, "It's just that those leaked clips haven't been broadcast yet. The program team has the copyright. What if there is infringement?"
"Don't worry about that," 584 said, "Huangfu Jin has plenty of money and can make some arrangements. If Di Wanshu sues, Huangfu Group can still afford the fine."
Feng Xiaobao is Huangfu Jin's only son, so it is only natural for him to spend money on his son. As a domineering CEO, the last thing Huangfu Jin lacks is money.
The logic sounded fine, but Zhao Ruoming felt uneasy, as if something terrible was going to happen.
203 felt Zhao Ruoming's mental fluctuations, and 584 also felt it.
584 thought Zhao Ruoming was afraid that he wouldn't become popular, so he consoled him, "Don't worry, the more netizens cover their mouths, the more rebellious they become. Besides, if you don't believe in me, you should believe in the male lead Huangfu Jin, right?"
When has the male protagonist of a female boss novel ever failed? Don't be ignorant of current affairs!
Zhao Ruoming could only suppress his uneasiness for the time being and said with a smile: "If that's the case, let's do it this way for now. Don't rush things. There's still some time before the original Feng Baobao and Feng Xiaobao become popular. If there's anything, let's discuss it together."
584 pursed his lips and said, "When can I see you in person? Can we only discuss this in the sea of consciousness?"
"Wait……"
Zhao Ruoming was about to speak when Duan Chengfang pushed the door open and walked in: "Father?"
Zhao Ruoming had no choice but to put his conversation with 584 on hold for now: "Go back and do your thing. We'll talk later."
584 reluctantly left Zhao Ruoming's sea of consciousness, muttering before leaving: "You'll forget again in a moment."
After teaching Duan Ye a lesson, Duan Hongji used the excuse of being tired to go back to his room to rest. At this moment, Duan Chengfang came over. Zhao Ruoming thought that he was worried about his health, so he smiled and said, "Second brother, what's wrong?"
Duan Chengfang stared at his father's face for a long time, and finally gave up trying to guess what he was thinking. He went straight to the point and said, "Dad, are you serious about what you said to Duan Ye today?"
Could it be that there was some deeper meaning that he failed to understand?
Duan Chengfang didn't want to believe that his old father was a person who liked to give bad advice. The conversation between the other party and Duan Ye today was too weird, and Duan Chengfang really couldn't hold it anymore.
Zhao Ruoming was so embarrassed that his scalp was numb. Those were all nonsense just to induce Duan Ye to make a choice. It was okay to fool a simple-minded Duan Ye, but it would be strange if it could fool the battle-hardened Duan Chengfang.
Duan Hongji coughed lightly and asked in an unfathomable way, "What do you think?"
Duan Chengfang was relieved when his father asked him this. His father really had his own plans. Haha! He was really crazy. He actually suspected that his father had no experience in love and that the things he said to Duan Ye were just nonsense!
Duan Chengfang sat in front of Duan Hongji and observed his expression: "I know, Dad, you must have your reasons for doing this. But I really..."
Duan Hongji interrupted him: "I have decided to hand over the Duan family to you."
Duan Chengfang suddenly fell silent.
He has now become the second-in-command of the company, so there is no point in pretending not to understand.
But why did Duan Hongji suddenly tell him about this? What does this have to do with Duan Ye?
Zhao Ruoming took the initiative and said, "Since you are already my heir, you should use your brain more. Guess and think carefully, why am I doing all this?"
Duan Chengfang is a child who easily loses his temper. He will start to reflect when he disagrees with something. Zhao Ruoming said these words because he saw this point. It is really a bit too much to ask her to come up with a reason to explain Duan Hongji's convulsive behavior. It is just right to give such an out-of-scope question to the smart Duan Chengfang.
Duan Chengfang was stunned for a moment, then he actually frowned and began to think hard.
His father gave him the question, which meant that Duan Chengfang could figure out the answer himself. He was not smart enough to understand his father's deep meaning.
Zhao Ruoming looked at Duan Chengfang with satisfaction as he saw that his clever brain had started to work again. He leisurely picked up a cup of tea from the bedside table and took a sip slowly.
At the same time, Duan Chengfang's eyes lit up.
"I understand! Father!" Duan Chengfang suddenly realized, "Zhao Ruoming and Fyodor are both your people!"
"puff--!"
All the tea in Zhao Ruoming's mouth sprayed out!
203 quickly helped Zhao Ruoming to breathe smoothly and expel the water droplets that had accidentally entered his trachea to prevent him from coughing.
Zhao Ruoming didn't care about anything else anymore and quickly took out a tissue to wipe his mouth to hide his shock.
Duan Chengfang quickly calmed Duan Hongji down, and at the same time asked anxiously, "Did I say something wrong, father?"
"No. No." Although the turmoil in his heart was enough to overwhelm the mountains and seas, Zhao Ruoming maintained his composure and said, "I'm just curious, how did you know?"
I'm glad I guessed right. Duan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Duan Ye told me that you went to Zhao Ruoming to ask about Duan Ye."
How could a shrewd man like Duan Hongji use a person only once? Therefore, the connection between Duan Hongji and Zhao Ruoming must be a long-term cooperation.
Zhao Ruoming discovered Duan Ye's feelings for him and reported it to Duan Hongji. Duan Hongji was furious when he knew Duan Ye liked men. But Duan Hongji was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to hurt the innocent Zhao Ruoming. Therefore, Duan Hongji thought about it and decided to hurt his own son.
Duan Hongji asked Zhao Ruoming and Fyodor to act in front of Duan Ye, hoping to make Duan Ye give up. Unexpectedly, Duan Ye still had the evil intention, so Duan Hongji had to personally tell Duan Ye the wrong way to pursue love, so that Duan Ye could see the sweetness of Zhao Ruoming and Fyodor with his own eyes, and completely understand that love cannot be forced, and let go of the obsession.
In this way, Zhao Ruoming will not be hurt, and Duan Ye will be able to grow. What a brilliant and silent method this is!
Zhao Ruoming listened to Duan Chengfang's analysis in amazement, muttering, "How did you figure that out?"
Duan Chengfang said confidently: "Zhao Ruoming came to our house once, and I saw that he was a ruthless person." (Hearing this, Zhao Ruoming shuddered and looked at Duan Chengfang with a little surprise.)
Duan Chengfang continued, "Duan Ye said that Zhao Ruoming and Fyodor had only met a few times. How could someone like Zhao Ruoming fall in love with someone he had only met a few times? But if it was his father's order, then it would be much more reasonable."
Ruthless Zhao Ruoming: "."
Duan Chengfang continued to analyze with reason and evidence: "Just now, when my father asked Duan Ye a question, he blurted out 'Why didn't Duan Ye do it?', as if he had seen the scene with his own eyes. But Duan Ye clearly didn't tell anyone about this, and there is no record of this in the chat history. So there is only one possibility, that Zhao Ruoming or Fyodor told my father."
Zhao Ruoming: ...In a sense, it’s not wrong.
"Father knew that Duan Ye had not given up yet, so he simply let him see the latest situation of Zhao Ruoming and Fyodor at all times, so that he could hit his head against the wall. This would not hurt anyone, and it would also help Duan Ye mature..."
Zhao Ruoming's expression was quite calm, but her eyes, which seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets, revealed her terrified heart.
She seemed to be completely impressed by Duan Chengfang's powerful analytical and reasoning abilities. Because... although his deduction process made no sense, the conclusion he reached was actually correct!
Your dad! The formula was wrong, the numbers were wrong, and even the test paper was printed wrong - but he actually got the correct answer!
After Duan Chengfang finished speaking, he realized that his emotions were a little exposed, so he shut up and looked at Duan Hongji with some uneasiness.
Although he was confident that his inference was correct, he was never confident in front of his father.
Duan Hongji stared at him silently for a while, and suddenly smiled.
Duan Hongji patted Duan Chengfang on the shoulder and nodded with satisfaction: "I was not wrong about you. You are indeed the child who understands my heart the most... the most."
Father said Duan Chengfang understood his heart best!
At that moment, Duan Chengfang's breathing became rapid, and he felt that the hand on his shoulder weighed a thousand pounds.
Duan Chengfang suppressed his inner ecstasy and said modestly: "I am just guessing, father."
"Okay." Duan Hongji gently touched the base of Duan Chengfang's neck, like he was touching a puppy, "Don't be so modest." You're almost frightening me to death.
Duan Cheng's heart was beating fast, and he felt that if he didn't change the subject, he might suffocate here, so he quickly said, "Oh, Dad, there is one more thing."
"Oh?" Duan Hongji asked with interest, "What's the matter?"
Duan Chengfang took a breath and said, "The Di family - that is, the brother and sister Di Hantian and Di Hanxin, suddenly held a banquet. They also sent an invitation to our family. Just now."
The Di family and the Duan family were enemies who would never end, so the invitation was a little confusing. Moreover, Duan Hongji was still ill, which made it even more inappropriate.
Duan Chengfang was not qualified to refuse on behalf of his father. But secretly, he did not want Duan Hongji to participate.
Zhao Ruoming had other considerations. She didn't think that this banquet would be hosted by the dying Di Hantian. How could he have the leisure time to do this?
Don't forget, Di Wanshu is also a member of the Di family.
Duan Hongji nodded and said, "I understand. Which day?"
Duan Chengfang replied: "Tomorrow night."
