The Daily Life Of A Rich And Vicious Man’S Wife Chapter 2

Dozens of messages flashed by before Zhang Yichen finally entered the group chat, fashionably late.

Thick-Haired Secretary Zhang: @Qin Zhao, Mr. Qin, were you looking for me?

Beautiful Secretary He: [Eye roll] The flowers have wilted waiting for you. What, did you make it to Glory rank? If not, you should probably quit, or the hair you lose will never grow back.

Thick-Haired Zhang Yichen: Shut up.

Zhang Yichen quickly scrolled through the missed messages, grasped the situation, and then spoke in the group.

Thick-Haired Secretary Zhang: @Qin Zhao, replying to Mr. Qin, I will go negotiate with Dilang Club. I guarantee we can make this beautiful little God Jiang lower his standards and cooperate with Gu Yunting.

Qin Zhao slowly typed out a question mark.

Qin Zhao: ? Cooperate?

Qin Zhao: What is Gu Yunting’s status, I ask you?

Thick-Haired Secretary Zhang: He’s the illegitimate son Gu Hai of the Gu Corporation had with his mistress. Although he looks a bit rough, he has plenty of hired trolls. Right now, out of every ten pieces of online content, twelve are press releases praising him. Dilang Club is an industry under your banner, and so is that show, Idol-Like Love.

Thick-Haired Secretary Zhang: No matter how skilled Jiang Li is, he signed a contract. As long as you step in, he has to listen, no matter how unwilling he is.

Qin Zhao only felt a headache coming on. So, Jiang Li’s unusual proactive behavior tonight stemmed from this issue.

He immediately sent their marriage certificate to the group.

Qin Zhao: Do you see that? Whose name is written in the spouse column? And the guardianship certificate? Open your dog eyes and look clearly!

Intern Rookie Zhouzhou: Holy crap.

HR Wang Qianqian: My goodness, is this real?

Qin Zhao: I spent several years coaxing and tricking him into marrying me. He doesn’t even look favorably upon me; he’d have to be possessed to look favorably upon trash like Gu Yunting.

Qin Zhao: He is my own ancestor. If I make him form a CP with someone who was only made popular by hired trolls? If he throws a fit, not even the King of Heaven could stop him.

Beautiful Secretary He: Damn, Old Qin, you were secretly dating someone so young behind our backs!

Head of HR: Oh my god!

Gossip-Loving Secretary Li: No wonder little God Jiang wasn’t happy about forming a CP with Gu Yunting.

Qin Zhao: Also, didn’t you see that on the official introduction Dilang Club gave him, the marital status column also shows ‘Married’?

Qin Zhao: Who is the person in charge and the director of Idol-Like Love? Are they in the group?

Beautiful Secretary He: I think they are in Group Two.

Qin Zhao: Go notify them. Jiang Li will participate, but his partner cannot be Gu Yunting or any other artist in the entertainment circle. If Gu Yunting’s people come to cause trouble, immediately cut off all his resources in the industry and replace him with someone else.

Beautiful Secretary He: Understood, Mr. Qin.

HR Wang Qianqian: But Mr. Qin, Gu Yunting has a lot of fans. What if they go cause trouble on Dilang Club’s Weibo or in little God Jiang’s live stream again?

Intern Rookie Zhouzhou: Exactly. Gu Yunting’s fans are terrifying. We ordinary people can’t say anything negative about their idol online, or we get bombarded with insults about our mothers and eighteen generations of ancestors. They use the nastiest language possible.

Intern Rookie Zhouzhou: The last time little God Jiang closed his live stream was because Gu Yunting’s fans were too abusive.

Intern Rookie Zhouzhou: And because Jiang Li refused to interact with Gu Yunting, Gu Yunting’s fans spread rumors online that little God Jiang was being kept by an ugly man, that he slept his way to the top, and they even photoshopped a lot of explicit pictures… calling him promiscuous and cheap.

Intern Rookie Zhouzhou: Passersby and fans of the Dilang team who spoke up for little God Jiang were accused by those fans of being paid shills, and quite a few people believed them. Now, little God Jiang’s reputation online is extremely poor.

Upon learning this, Qin Zhao immediately used his guardian authority to log into Jiang Li’s accounts on various social media platforms. Sure enough, just as the company employees said, the comments and private messages on his personal blog were filled with all sorts of abuse from Gu Yunting’s fans. His mind was a chaotic mess, ready to explode.

He couldn’t bear to use such filthy words to insult Jiang Li, so why could Gu Yunting’s fans? By what right?

And Gu Yunting really wasn’t good-looking. His face was naturally long, and his stylist didn’t know how to hide his flaws, always giving him messy, strange hairstyles.

He blindly pursued the popular flower boy look from the neighboring entertainment circle, but his appearance didn’t match the ‘beautiful’ part of the description. That long face paired with dewy skin—you could feel a whole bowl of oil oozing out just through the screen.

A three-out-of-ten appearance was forcefully inflated to a ten. In the domestic entertainment industry, as long as you invest capital and hire trolls, any pig or dog can become a god.

Gu Yunting’s fans’ comments were dense and endless, mostly just cursing Jiang Li for being arrogant and looking down on their idol.

But Jiang Li’s arrogance was built step by step with his own skill; he had the capital to be arrogant.

The next morning, in the conference room for Idol-Like Love, Qin Zhao looked sternly at the program director.

“Who gave you the guts to release material suggesting my ancestor at home should cooperate with Gu Yunting to record this show?”

Feng Guang was drenched in cold sweat. If he had known earlier that Jiang Li was backed by his boss, Qin Zhao, he wouldn’t have dared to stir up trouble even if the heavens gave him ten thousand times the courage.

“I… but there were favors owed to the Gu family. It was Mr. Gu who spoke, asking us to take extra care of Second Young Master Gu.”

With a bang, Qin Zhao slammed a thick stack of documents onto the conference table: “What favors does the Gu Corporation have with our company? Am I your boss, or is that old man from the Gu family your boss? Gu Yunting isn’t an artist under our company. You’re using the traffic of my personal team to promote an outsider? Are you complaining that the company pays you too little?”

Feng Guang wiped his sweat, stammering, “No, Mr. Qin, I didn’t mean that. I genuinely didn’t know Jiang Li was your partner. I thought he was just an outdated player who couldn’t find work after retirement, so I didn’t want to waste resources… so…”

“So what? I’m stating it here today! Jiang Li is my partner, my only partner. I don’t care what the outside world says about me. Who the hell is Gu Yunting? My partner doesn’t want to form a CP with him. Are you going to hold his head down and force him to agree?”

“I wouldn’t even dare to do that! I’ve said everything, good and bad, to you people!”

“My company, Qin Zhao’s company, allocates so much money to you every year, only for you to use my partner to promote Gu Yunting? My partner refused, and your production team still acted passive-aggressively online, is that right?”

“If you can’t run it properly, then don’t run it! Starting today, you, you, you, and all of you!” Qin Zhao said, pointing out the entire director team, planners, and producers of Idol-Like Love. “Starting this afternoon, you don’t need to come to work anymore.”

Then he turned to He Ziyan beside him and asked, “Have you notified the legal department?”

Secretary He quickly handed over a stack of documents: “Replying to Mr. Qin, Zhouzhou went to give instructions last night. These are the materials the legal department collected overnight. According to relevant laws and regulations, they have indeed infringed upon the interests of your partner and the company. Once filed, the charges are 100% established. Comrades from the relevant regulatory departments and the police station are already waiting in the pantry next to the conference room.”

Qin Zhao threw the documents at Feng Guang: “Read them yourself. The rest you can discuss with the police comrades. I don’t care if you were truly unaware. My ancestor is still angry. I don’t have time to waste words with you.”

Feng Guang nearly knelt down right there for Qin Zhao: “Mr. Qin, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I truly didn’t know about Jiang Li’s relationship with you. I was also thinking about the company’s interests. Please, for the sake of me being a long-time employee of the company for decades, can’t you give me a break? I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and an eight-year-old child below me.”

But Qin Zhao didn’t want to show him any mercy. If he wanted to fight for greater company interests, why didn’t he make Jiang Li cooperate with other artists under the company?

Why insist on that illegitimate son from the rival family?

It unnecessarily lowered his darling’s status and position, not to mention causing Jiang Li to endure so much abuse.

As for Gu Yunting, an illegitimate son who couldn’t even make it to the main stage, and an ugly one at that, where did he get the nerve and courage to try to cling to his little ancestor?

Wasn’t this just dancing right on his landmine?

Just as Qin Zhao ordered the program team to be rectified and issued a lawyer’s letter regarding the mess caused by the Gu Corporation spending money to hire trolls to slander Jiang Li, another wave of online uproar began.

[Holy crap? Are the lawyer’s letters issued by Dilang Club and Qingshi Entertainment serious?]

[Is Dilang’s upper management that aggressive after the change?]

[Unbelievable. This Jiang Li must really have someone backing him. Before, Gu Yunting’s crazy fans were slandering him, saying he was kept by an old man and was a cheap slut.]

[Who is the new boss behind Dilang Club? They sue just like that. The original production team of Idol-Like Love has all been sent to the supervisory bureau for investigation.]

[Damn, is the person above serious? Little God Jiang’s backing is that strong?]

[But the bosses behind Idol-Like Love and Dilang Club seem to both belong to the Qin family, right?]

[What huge gossip! Gu Yunting’s crazy fans must be exploding.]

[More than that. Less than an hour after Idol-Like Love was rectified, Qingshi Entertainment announced that they would never cooperate with any artist under the Gu Corporation again.]

[This means that most variety shows in the entertainment industry, and all the notable production teams and TV stations, won’t cooperate with Gu Yunting.]

[Did Qingshi change bosses? That’s ruthless.]

[It seems like the Qin family is very angry.]

[The Qin family owns several TV stations. Most of the entertainment industry has to watch the Qin family’s expression. It’s hard to say.]

[But doesn’t Gu Yunting have the Gu family backing him? Since the news broke, Gu Yunting hasn’t made a single move, only his fans are making noise online.]

[Bullshit! I think it’s just that bitch Jiang Li who can’t stand my brother. So what if he has a good face? Look how capable he thinks he is.]

[Gross. How many times does a person like Jiang Li have to sell his ass to get so many people to speak up for him? Does he sleep with anyone for money?]

[Hasn’t his pussy been ruined by men already? And he can still jump around? My brother was being charitable by forming a CP with him, and he actually dared to give us attitude, huh.]

[Stop with the ‘huh’s’ upstairs. Do you want your brother to die?]

[Don’t pay attention to those crazy fans. This isn’t something people like us, with a monthly salary of three thousand, should worry about. They can’t even feed themselves, yet they go pity their brother who earns 5 million a day.]

[Darlings, a few daily questions: Did you study today? Did you work? Do you have money to support yourselves?]

[Haha, not yet, I’m going now, let’s go, let’s go.]

[Don’t you dare change the subject! Does that bitch Jiang Li look down on my brother? By what right!]

[By what right? Just because your brother is ugly, duh. Gu Yunting should look in a mirror. His face is swollen like Zhu Bajie, yet he tries to latch onto little God Jiang. Do you know why Jiang Li is called little God Jiang?]

[It’s not because of how many championships or awards he won; it’s because he’s good-looking. I advise you crazy fans not to ruin the aesthetic standards of us little God Jiang appearance fans.]

[Exactly. Gu Yunting is that ugly and still has fans. I’m speechless.]

[No choice. His rich dad pays for hired trolls, duh. They just know how to bully Jiang Li because he’s an outsider with fewer fans.]
