Zhang Fuyang was bewildered.
"What did I do wrong?"
What's wrong with Gu Chenan?
"Gu... Gu Chenan, calm down first. What happened? I didn't do anything," Zhang Fuyang asked, puzzled.
"You didn't do anything? Then tell me, what did you post on Tianhai's official Weibo?" Gu Chenan demanded angrily.
"It was just promotional material, wasn't it? I consulted you, Gu Chenan, and you agreed, didn't you?" Zhang Fuyang recalled.
Gu Chenan's mouth twitched.
How the heck was I supposed to know you'd promote it like that?
You promoted it as if I were taking Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui swimming together, with such ambiguous captions.
Are you trying to get me killed?
"Delete it, delete it immediately. If I still see it after the call ends, you'll be sorry!" Gu Chenan gritted his teeth.
Though unsure why Gu Chenan was so enraged, Zhang Fuyang nodded immediately. "Alright, Gu Chenan, I'll have it deleted right away!"
The call hadn't ended, and Zhang Fuyang could be heard urgently instructing someone on the other end.
Soon, Zhang Fuyang spoke up again, "It's done, Gu Chenan, it's deleted."
"Good, that's good, as long as it's deleted."
Hearing this, Gu Chenan breathed a sigh of relief.
His emotions also calmed down. "Alright, it's fine now. You can use that photo, but don't mention Qianmo and Mingrui, understand?"
"Understood, Gu Chenan," Zhang Fuyang hurriedly nodded.
After hanging up, Gu Chenan wiped his face with his hands.
I can overlook the fact that those two lead actresses are stirring up trouble for me, but damn it, even you, a cannon fodder character, are inciting hatred against me.
This is insane!

...
Three days later, at the Liu family residence.
Today was the birthday celebration of Old Master Liu, and the entire Liu family was adorned with lanterns and decorations, bustling with joy.
Old Master Liu was dressed in a red Tang suit, seated in the main hall with a giant "longevity" character behind him.
Beside him stood Liu Mingrui, exuding quiet elegance.
She wore a dark red cheongsam, her hair coiled neatly at the back of her head with a pure white jade hairpin inserted.
She wore dark red silk arm sleeves, which complemented the cheongsam and hairpin, radiating a unique charm.
With her slender and graceful legs adorned in shiny flesh-colored stockings, she stood in black high heels.
At only twenty-three, she looked every bit like a noble and elegant lady.
In the main hall, guests dressed in suits or traditional Chinese clothing continuously presented valuable gifts to wish Old Master Liu a long life.
However, everyone's gaze couldn't help but be drawn to Liu Mingrui standing next to Liu Zhenshan.
The allure of her figure-hugging cheongsam combined with Liu Mingrui's exceptionally well-developed features made it impossible for people to look away.
"Old Master, how's your health been lately?" At that moment, a dignified man entered, carrying a giant Lingzhi mushroom.
And he was none other than the person who had provoked Lin Yu in this storyline, Liang Bufan!
"That's great!" Liang Bufan placed the lingzhi mushroom on the table and boasted to the people present, "Old man, I've put in a lot of effort to bring this lingzhi here today."
"I almost searched the entire Suhang to find these two-hundred-year-old lingzhi mushrooms!" Liang Bufan said proudly.
"You've done well," Liu Zhenshan replied.
Liu Zhenshan wasn't particularly surprised; at his position, what hadn't he seen?
But the others were taken aback.
Two-hundred-year-old lingzhi mushrooms?
Wow, isn't that too extravagant?!
In this day and age, being able to obtain lingzhi mushrooms that are two hundred years old is simply unbelievable!
Seeing the surprise in everyone's eyes, Liang Bufan smirked with satisfaction.
Then he turned to look at Liu Mingrui.
With just one glance, he trembled, and his eyes shrank suddenly.
She was too beautiful, too sexy, too elegant!
Was this still Liu Mingrui, who used to wield an RPG in her left hand and a submachine gun in her right on the battlefield?
"Mingrui, you're here too. It's been a while," he said with a smile.
"Mr. Liang, it's been a while," Liu Mingrui politely nodded.
Liu Mingrui knew Liang Bufan, but they weren't close.
Back when Liu Mingrui was just a squad leader, Mr. Liu found a group of martial artists in the civilian sector and had them train his soldiers in ancient martial arts for a few months.
And at that time, Liang Bufan was in charge of training the squad Liu Mingrui was in.
"Have you settled down, Mingrui? What does your husband do?" Liang Bufan asked casually.
"Not yet," Liu Mingrui shook her head. She was a bit displeased with this invasion of privacy, but she didn't lash out considering today's occasion.
If it were any other day, she would have definitely said: "What's it to you?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Bufan's eyes showed a subtle expression, then he chuckled, "No rush, Mingrui. With your background, there are probably suitors lining up from Donghai to our Suhang."
Liu Mingrui was about to speak, but Mr. Liu beside her spoke first.
"But our Mingrui has someone she likes."
"Huh?" Liang Bufan's eyes widened in disbelief, but realizing his reaction was inappropriate, he quickly regained his composure and smiled, "Which brat has captured Mingrui's heart?"
Brat?
Upon hearing this term, Liu Mingrui's expression visibly darkened.
How dare he call my Chenan a brat?
Thankfully, it's my father's birthday today, otherwise, I would definitely scold you to death!
"Hehehe, Bufan," Liu Zhenshan glanced at Liu Mingrui's expression, then chuckled and said, "The brat you're referring to is the young master of the Gu family in Donghai, Gu Chenan."
With these words, everyone present immediately exchanged glances, all with expressions of doubt.
Wasn't Young Master Gu engaged to Miss Su from the Su family? But Mr. Liu just said Miss Liu has feelings for Young Master Gu?
Although they grew up together, hasn't it been many years?
Could it be that Miss Liu has liked Young Master Gu since childhood, even when he was engaged, she still harbored feelings for him?
This...isn't this too devoted?
What's so good about Young Master Gu?
Isn't he a notorious playboy from Donghai?
Miss Liu, is this because of a childhood filter? Doesn't she know that Miss Su has always been indifferent to Mr. Gu despite their engagement?
Mr. Liang Bufan also seemed slightly stunned.
Suhang is very close to Donghai, and the prominent families of both places have interactions.
Although Mr. Liang Bufan is not from a wealthy family, he is aware of the prestigious reputation of the Gu family in Donghai.
"Ahem."
Mr. Liang Bufan cleared his throat awkwardly and smiled.
"So, it's Mr. Gu. My apologies for being presumptuous."
He felt a bit embarrassed about his earlier words, so he added, "Mr. Gu and Miss Mingrui are a perfect match. I think it's suitable!"
Suitable my foot!
Mr. Liang Bufan was infuriated.
The infamous reputation of Gu Chenan has spread to Suhang. Who doesn't know that he is a wealthy second-generation who idles away his time without any accomplishments?
Miss Liu Mingrui actually likes him?
Is this a joke?
In the original plot, when Mr. Liang Bufan asked who Miss Liu Mingrui's crush was, Mr. Liu's response was Lin Yu.
When Mr. Liang Bufan further inquired about Lin Yu's occupation, Mr. Liu awkwardly admitted, "Lin Yu is currently working as a driver at Su City International."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Liang Bufan immediately felt discontented.
Although he is a friend of Mr. Liu's, in reality, he is only twenty-eight years old. He was captivated by Miss Liu Mingrui at first sight today and fell in love at first sight.
So when Lin Yu arrived and Mr. Liu introduced him, mentioning Lin Yu's future prospects after winning the martial arts championship, Mr. Liang Bufan insisted on comparing himself with Lin Yu.
But when Miss Liu Mingrui's crush changed to Gu Chenan, although he was inwardly resentful, he did not show it.
Meanwhile, at the Liu family mansion.
A gray-gold Lamborghini drove in.
The door opened, and Gu Chenan and Su Qianmo got out of the car.
Su Qianmo had another purpose in coming today, which was to assert her dominance in front of Mr. Liu.
So, as soon as she got out of the car, she naturally linked her arm with Gu Chenan's.
