Xu An'an had just submitted her interview article when she was immediately summoned to the conference room for a dressing-down. Xue Shengnan and the editor-in-chief were locked in a heated argument, while Fang Nini sat there beaming with smug satisfaction, looking every bit the victor. The other shareholders were simply enjoying the show.

The room fell silent the moment Xu An'an appeared.

The editor-in-chief was the first to attack. "Xu An'an, didn't General Manager Xue make the terms of our bet clear to you? How could you go and change the interview subject?"

"Could it be that you can't stand losing, so you deliberately swapped in a different interviewee?" Fang Nini chimed in with a mocking, snide tone.

Xue Shengnan looked at Xu An'an. She believed that Xu An'an must have had her reasons for doing this, and said calmly, "Let's all not rush to conclusions."

"An'an, if you have any thoughts, speak your mind freely."

Everyone then waited for Xu An'an to offer a reasonable explanation. Though they all felt that whatever excuse she came up with wouldn't matter anyway.

Xu An'an remained perfectly composed. When she had made her choice, she already knew this confrontation would come, so she had prepared herself accordingly.

"I did change the interview subject, but the person I interviewed is Mrs. Cheng."

"Husband and wife are one."

Clearly, this reasoning didn't hold water. The editor-in-chief scoffed. "In any case, you violated the rules we set. That means you've lost."

Someone else chimed in agreement. "That's right. We told you to interview President Cheng, not a woman who's already settled into being a housewife. What, are you going to interview her about how she does chores at home? How she teaches the kids to read and write? I'm sure nobody's interested in that."

The woman speaking was aligned with the editor-in-chief, and her words carried a strong contempt for Molly.

Xu An'an's gaze turned cold.

So you're the mistress who's been whispering in Cheng Gang's ear all along!

"But what if I told you that President Cheng himself asked me to interview Mrs. Cheng? After all, the two of them are deeply in love—as I just said, husband and wife are one."

"Impossible!"

The woman blurted out, glaring daggers at Xu An'an as though she had said something that incited public outrage.

Xue Shengnan was about to step in and help, but Xu An'an beat her to it. "Then let me call President Cheng right now. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to explain everything."

With that, she dialed Cheng Gang's number.

On the other end of the line, Cheng Gang explained that he wasn't feeling well and therefore couldn't accommodate Xu An'an's interview. He then went on to praise Molly.

"If it weren't for Molly, there would be no Cheng Gang Building Materials as it is today. So I'm very grateful to Molly."

"I hope that through this interview, more people will come to know everything Molly has contributed to the company over the years."

Hearing this, the mistress had already turned green with jealousy, and she excused herself early, claiming she wasn't feeling well. Probably off to pick a fight with Cheng Gang.

Xu An'an wasn't worried. Since Molly had the ability to make Cheng Gang say such things, a mere mistress would be no match for her. In the past, Molly hadn't taken the initiative to fight or compete because she still held a sliver of hope for Cheng Gang. It wasn't until she had spoken with Xu An'an that she finally made up her mind.

"I trust everyone heard that clearly? It was President Cheng who asked me to interview Mrs. Cheng. Now surely no one has any objections?" Xu An'an asked with a beaming smile.

The editor-in-chief's camp had never expected one of their own to be the weak link.

Xue Shengnan spoke up. "Although we initially stipulated that the interview subject couldn't be changed, we also have to respect the interviewee's wishes. Are we supposed to force people against their will? If word of this got out, what would people say about our magazine? That we strong-arm people into giving interviews?"

No one dared to refute that. And so the matter was settled.

Fang Nini, who had been certain of her victory, nearly ground her teeth to dust. She shot Xu An'an a vicious glare. "So what if you narrowly escaped this time? The final outcome is still unknown!"

Xu An'an's eyes sharpened, her beautiful spring-water gaze gradually turning icy and piercing.

"You're right, the outcome is still unknown. So I'd advise you not to pop the champagne early—you wouldn't want to end up being the laughingstock of everyone."

"You—just you wait!"

The magazine deliberately placed Xu An'an's and Fang Nini's interviews in Edition A and Edition B respectively. After a week, whichever edition sold more copies would determine who took the position of department head.

On the surface, it sounded fair enough. But whether anyone would resort to underhanded tricks behind the scenes was another matter entirely.

Xue Shengnan was deeply worried about this.

"I'm afraid they'll put all the interesting content into Fang Nini's Edition B."

"It's fine. I'll deal with whatever comes my way." Xu An'an shared the same concern, knowing that some people were simply born despicable, with an endless arsenal of dirty tricks.

Xue Shengnan stood up, forcing herself to stay energized. "I'll go keep an eye on things."

Xu An'an wanted to say it wasn't necessary, but Xue Shengnan was insistent. "If I hadn't forgotten about that matter, maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad."

Before Xu An'an could say anything, Xue Shengnan hurried off.

Xu An'an let out a soft sigh.

Still, this time had been a close call. If Jiang Li hadn't had someone investigate Molly's daily routines in advance, Xu An'an might not have been able to turn the situation around. Although she had thought of approaching things from Molly's side, there was no way she could have dug up such detailed information about Molly in such a short time.

Xu An'an sat in her swivel chair, wondering how Jiang Li had known about her situation and extended a helping hand just in time.

He'd been watching over her all along!

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat.

"Yeah, I accidentally captured another bombshell scoop. Too bad I wouldn't dare publish it."

"Who would dare to break news about Second Master's love life? Besides, it's Murong Yan—they're a match made in heaven, perfectly suited in status and all."

These snippets of conversation drifted over from the break room.

Xu An'an froze, an inexplicable pang of pain stabbing at her heart.

She forced a strained smile. "Your nose is pretty sharp, always catching wind of the big shots. Which hotel was it this time?"

"Not a hotel—a restaurant. The two of them were having a candlelight dinner!"

The speaker was a thoroughly gossip-obsessed paparazzo who couldn't survive a day without some juicy tidbit, and she eagerly shared the photos she'd secretly taken.

In the photo, Jiang Li had his back to the camera, but Murong Yan was smiling sweetly, as if Jiang Li had just said something to charm her.

The person beside her looked on with envy. "I was once lucky enough to catch a distant glimpse of Second Master. He truly descended like a god from the heavens—one look at him and you're ruined for life!"

"And this perfect, handsome man is out here trying to win a smile from Murong Yan."

"Murong Yan must have saved the entire galaxy in her past life. Not only does she come from a great family, but she's also won the triple crown of major film awards. And now she has such an outstanding man doting on her."

"If this were a novel, Second Master Jiang and Murong Yan would be the male and female leads!"

Xu An'an truly couldn't bring herself to feign indifference and chat about the gossip with them. She made an excuse and hurriedly left, her retreating figure looking very much like she was fleeing.

Thinking of the chubby cat still at the private villa, Xu An'an hesitated for a long time before sending Jiang Li a message.

Xu An'an: [Are you coming back tonight? I don't have the key. I need to come over and pick up Fatty Cat. His leg just healed, so I need to take good care of him.]
