Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 112

Luo Xinling is the new season spokesperson for a smart home product recently launched by the Fu Corporation. Last night, Fu Yunxi happened to attend a dinner with her, and when they were leaving, Luo Xinling’s driver had an emergency so she asked Fu Yunxi to give her a ride back to her hotel.

It wasn’t a big deal, so Fu Yunxi didn’t refuse, but he didn’t expect the gossip paparazzi to blow things out of proportion.

Sheng Nuan sent him a screenshot, without saying a single word. Fu Yunxi’s face darkened, and he stood up and walked out.

The people around him didn’t know what had happened, watching in confusion as President Fu looked at his phone, then left with a cold face…

Fu Yunxi went outside to the emergency stairwell and immediately dialed Sheng Nuan’s number. The call connected quickly.

But just as it did, Fu Yunxi suddenly snapped back to his senses.

Why was he calling her?

A scandal is just a scandal. Who ever heard of a little lover needing to worry about her sponsor’s gossip?

But the call had already connected, so Fu Yunxi cleared his throat and pretended he hadn’t seen the gossip. In a calm and collected tone, he asked Sheng Nuan, “Are you coming back today?”

“No,” Sheng Nuan was even more casual than him. “Let’s talk tomorrow.”

Fu Yunxi was stunned and then grew displeased. “Why? Didn’t you say three days…”

Sheng Nuan hummed softly. “The shoot will finish in the afternoon. I’m too tired to drive.”

Fu Yunxi immediately offered, “I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

Sheng Nuan chuckled, “No need. I don’t like sitting in a dirty car.”

Fu Yunxi froze, then grew angry… What was wrong with his perfectly fine car being called dirty?

But then he realized that Sheng Nuan was clearly acting up because of that gossip…

Fu Yunxi thought that logically, he should tell Sheng Nuan, “Woman, my business is none of your concern.”

But at the same time, he immediately realized that if he said that, Sheng Nuan’s response would definitely be just one word: Scram!

And then he wouldn’t know how to handle her.

Fu Yunxi felt like he wasn’t exactly playing his role as a financial backer properly. He was still hesitating when he realized… Sheng Nuan had hung up the phone!

He nearly laughed out of anger, gritting his teeth as he dialed her number again… only to be hung up on once again.

What the hell…

A few moments later, Fu Yunxi, with a face as dark as iron, returned to his office, expressionless. “Where’s the PR department?”

Mo Jie had a bad feeling and immediately stood up. “President Fu, please wait. I’ll go get them.”

A minute later, the PR department head followed behind Mo Jie, filled with unease. “Special Assistant Mo, could you maybe give me a hint about what’s going on?”

“These past couple of days, regarding the things President Fu might need PR for, what do you think?”

The PR head quickly ran through the possibilities in his mind before zeroing in on the likely culprit. “Could it be the gossip about the movie queen Luo…? But didn’t President Fu always ignore these things?”

Mo Jie shrugged. “I don’t know either. You’re on your own.”

Cold sweat started to bead on the PR head’s forehead as he knocked on the office door and walked in.

“President Fu, you were looking for me…”

Fu Yunxi stared icily at the PR head. “I want to know when I supposedly started having an affair with Luo Xinling?”

So it really was that!

Cold sweat dripped down the PR head’s face as he hurriedly explained, “Apologies, President Fu. It was a failure of the PR team. But… you had previously instructed us to ignore those baseless rumors, as responding would only give them attention. So, what’s the approach this time? Should we address it directly?”

The PR head asked cautiously.

Fu Yunxi frowned. “Who told you to respond?”

He was puzzled. “Can’t you issue a lawyer’s letter?”

The PR head wiped his sweat and repeatedly agreed, “Understood, understood. I’ll go coordinate with the legal department right away.”

Fu Yunxi replied without emotion, “Don’t let it happen again.”

The PR head nodded repeatedly and only let out a breath of relief after leaving the office.

As the top diamond bachelor, Fu Yunxi, with his impeccable looks and financial prowess, was always a favorite target for gossip tabloids.

President Fu used to not pay attention to them. As he had said before, responding would only boost their profile… Very few people ever believed those rumors anyway.

No one could figure out how it touched President Fu’s reverse scale¹ this time…

After arranging for legal action, Fu Yunxi paused, then called Mo Jie back into the office.

When he spoke, it was through gritted teeth, “Send the car from last night for cleaning… No, forget it, just replace the car.”

Mo Jie was dumbfounded for a moment but quickly nodded. “Oh, understood, President Fu.”

After Mo Jie left, Fu Yunxi took a deep breath and pulled out his phone, ready to make a call. But then he thought about how many times he had already been hung up on. Calling again would be too shameful.

Instead, he opened the WeChat chat with Sheng Nuan… the last message was still that gossip screenshot.

With a stony expression, Fu Yunxi began typing.

Fu Yunxi: Yesterday, I just gave her a ride because it was on the way. We didn’t even say more than three sentences.

Fu Yunxi: The legal department has already issued a letter.

Fu Yunxi: The car has been replaced…

Fu Yunxi: I’ll send someone to pick you up this afternoon!

The last sentence was particularly powerful, leaving no room for question.

He was the sponsor, and when he said she would be picked up, she had to be… This was the dignity of being the financial backer!

When Sheng Nuan finished filming a scene, she checked her phone and saw the messages from Fu Yunxi… When she saw what he had sent, she was momentarily stunned and then couldn’t help but laugh.

He even replaced the car!

And that last sentence—so fierce, haha…

A little after five in the evening, after finishing the last scene, Sheng Nuan said a quick word to Hou Xin, then slung her small bag over her shoulder and headed outside.

Along the way, people kept greeting her, and she responded with a polite smile.

Sheng Nuan’s performance on set over the past few days had been obvious to all. Her outstanding looks and solid acting skills left a strong impression. Many in the crew had a feeling that when this show aired, she was sure to make a name for herself.

As for Su Nian, Sheng Nuan hadn’t shared any scenes with her over the past few days. Who knows if Sheng Nuan left some kind of shadow on Su Nian on the first day, but in any case, Su Nian hadn’t come around to make her presence known for three days.

Just as she was leaving the set, Sheng Nuan saw Han Che walking towards her from the opposite direction.

Enemies meeting always sparked tension. But with other people around, it wasn’t appropriate to say anything. Han Che merely shot Sheng Nuan a cold, expressionless look.

When the two drew closer, Sheng Nuan suddenly smiled.

She greeted Han Che enthusiastically, “Has Teacher Han finished eating?”

Han Che gave her a “Are you sick?” look, but Sheng Nuan didn’t care at all. Instead, with a face full of sincerity, she said, “Teacher Han, you should eat more bl00d-nourishing and energy-boosting foods. Your health relies on daily conditioning, promise me you’ll take good care of yourself, okay?”

Han Che was completely stunned, and then he exploded, “You fvck—”

The words “Are you sick?” were quickly muffled by Han Che’s assistant, who covered his mouth with one hand and desperately pulled him back with the other. “Calm down, calm down, Teacher Han. There are paparazzi outside, you have to stay calm!”

Han Che’s reason barely returned.

At that moment, Sheng Nuan waved with a smile, “See you next week, Teacher Han…”

Han Che began struggling again.

The assistant held onto him tightly, dragging him inside as Han Che fought to get free, trying to kick out. “From today onward, it’s either me or her in this crew. I won’t stay if she’s here!”
