After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All

Chapter 156: Chapter 156: It Won’t Be Long Before Rose Entertainment Falls

Sang Zheng originally didn’t want to concern himself with Mrs. Sang, but upon hearing the sound of a heavy object falling behind him, he still turned around, only to see Mrs. Sang lying motionless on the ground, which gave him a huge scare.

He hurriedly called for an ambulance, sending Mrs. Sang to the hospital.

He also called to inform their children.

Mr. Sang intended to tell Qiaoqiao about this incident but, to his frustration, he was blocked and couldn’t get through on the phone, which made him clench his teeth in anger.

Sang Qiao found out about the Sang Family’s current situation three days later, through what Meng Jiahe told her.

“Mrs. Sang really is odd these days, walking about with a doll saying it’s her daughter, occasionally losing her mind, tossing the doll away, only to go back for it not long after. Someone who cares so much about face, does she not feel ashamed?”

Meng Jiahe, mentioning this, couldn’t help but picture the photo that had circulated online: Mrs. Sang with her hair a mess, greasy, unlikely washed for many days.

The clothes she wore were filthy too, as if the stench could be felt through the screen.

But above all, the expression on Mrs. Sang’s face was very off, definitely not one of someone in their right mind.

“That’s right, that’s right, and there’s Sang Jiao. She managed to sell her shares for a good sum of money, even cajoled Mrs. Sang into lending her money, and now she’s disappeared without a trace, living the high life somewhere. Hard to say if she’s cunning or the Sang Family just too gullible.”

“Maybe a bit of both.” Sang Qiao’s gaze remained fixed on her computer screen, her expression indifferent.

“Sigh, that’s true. Who are you planning to bring to the charity fundraising banquet tonight?” Meng Jiahe asked, changing the subject when she saw Sang Qiao uninterested in the Sang Family.

“Lu Anchi, Xu Mianmian, perhaps.”

“Okk, I’ll notify them in a bit.”

“Mhm.”

Evening

Right on time, Sang Qiao left work, had styling and outfit changes done, and took Lu Anchi and Xu Mianmian with her to the banquet.

“Mr. Qiao, you’re here too! I’m President Wang from XX Media. Here’s my business card. I sent a partnership proposal to your company a few days ago. Do you think my company might have a chance to work with yours?”

“I will consider your company’s proposal carefully when I return,” Sang Qiao replied without taking his business card, giving just a faint smile.

“Good, good. Then I’ll await a response from your company,” President Wang said ingratiatingly.

Meanwhile, more and more people approached to chat, but they all held back, not daring to be too forward for fear of causing annoyance. They merely hoped to leave an impression on Sang Qiao.

Watching the young lady surrounded by a crowd, leaders of other companies nearby couldn’t help but exclaim.

“The young really are to be feared these days. Mr. Qiao, looking so young and having achieved such success, really has talent.”

“She is also Mr. Si’s girlfriend. Isn’t that what you call success in both love and career?”

“What Mr. Si’s girlfriend? It seems to me it’s just a passing fancy. Have you not noticed how long Mr. Si and Sang Qiao have been out of contact? Both are at a marriageable age; if they truly liked each other, why the delay in getting married?”

Once this was said, those who had been singing praises fell silent. Indeed, there had been no news of Sang Qiao and Mr. Si online for a long time.

“Even if things don’t last with Mr. Si, it doesn’t change the fact that Rose Entertainment has leapt to the forefront of the industry. As for you, Sister Mei… almost forty, right? No success in your career, and a failed marriage too.”

The woman referred to as Sister Mei immediately looked embarrassed and glared at her fiercely.

“Mind your own beeswax!”

Dropping this remark, Sister Mei clicked her high heels towards her seat.

Coincidentally, right beside her sat Sang Qiao and the two artists from Rose Entertainment.

Having just spoken ill of Sang Qiao and been retorted, and recalling how not long ago her perfect proposal to collaborate with Rose Entertainment was rejected, Sister Mei found Sang Qiao particularly irksome.

“Isn’t this Mr. Si’s girlfriend? How come you’re alone, didn’t Mr. Si come with you? Or have you been dumped already?”

Sister Mei’s voice was both exaggerated and loud, drawing the attention of those around them to their side.

“Is it a rule that one must come with a partner?” Sang Qiao turned her head to glance at her, not recognizing her.

However, the expression on the other’s face was clearly not about “having a chat,” but rather looking for trouble.

“While there’s no such rule, I’m just curious about your current relationship with Mr. Si. It’s just a chat, surely Mr. Qiao wouldn’t get so petty as to be upset over this, right?”

Sister Mei, seeing that she deliberately avoided answering her, thought she hit the nail on the head and couldn’t help feeling a bit pleased.

She knew it, how could a man like Mr. Si fancy such a tasteless woman!

“Auntie, who are you to me! Do you think you are entitled to know everything you’re curious about? Blabbering about our Sister Qiao getting dumped, those who don’t know might think you’re cursing her!”

Xu Mianmian frowned, looking displeased at the gaudily dressed auntie.

So unlucky!

“You’re so worried about whether my Sister Qiao and Mr. Si are still dating, people who don’t know might think you have a thing for Mr. Si. But look at yourself, at your age, aren’t you ashamed?”

Lu Anchi leisurely added his piece, casting an indifferent glance at the leopard skin coat the auntie was wearing.

Sister Mei’s face turned red from the young people’s taunts, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’m just chatting with your boss, what’s it to you? You have no manners.”

After addressing Xu Mianmian and Lu Anchi, Sister Mei turned her head to look at Sang Qiao and sighed heavily.

“Mr. Qiao, I didn’t mean anything by it, just wanted to chat a bit. I didn’t expect you to allow your artists to humiliate me like this, truly an eye-opener!”

Xu Mianmian was infuriated by the auntie’s feigned innocence, “You!”

The surrounding people began murmuring, “Yeah, just having a chat, is there a need to be so aggressive? What’s so shameful about being dumped?”

“What a pity, I thought this newbie Mr. Qiao was polite to everyone, but now it seems…”

“Just think, a person who doesn’t even have a good relationship with their family, how good could they really be? It may be great to have career success, but family is equally important.”

Amidst the surrounding voices, Sang Qiao remained expressionless. She lifted her eyelids and glanced at Sister Mei.

“Chatting about family requires both parties to be interested in the topic. The things you’re chatting about, to the unknowing, seem like you’re hung up on someone else’s man—quite annoying.”

“How can you say such things about me? Even if what I said was unpleasant and hit a sore spot, you don’t need to humiliate me. To have someone like Mr. Si, a dragon among men, even if I were twenty years younger, I wouldn’t dare dream of it.”

Sister Mei looked down with an appearance of one deeply insulted, but inside she allowed herself a moment of triumph.

Successful in business, so what, still got dumped by a man, what’s there to be proud of!

A person who can’t even understand cooperation, how far can they go? Perhaps it won’t be long before Rose Entertainment goes bankrupt!
