Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 694: No Way Out

The next day, these trending search terms suddenly popped up on social media, each followed by the word "explosive."

1. Unveiling the Merchant Family’s Secret Scandals

2. Shang Shaojing’s Chaotic Private Life

3. Shang Shaojing’s Zero Score in Elementary School Math

4. Shang Shaojing....

The previously subsided news of the Shang Family’s bankruptcy had once again sparked heated discussion.

[Man, who have the Shang offended this time, with six or seven trending searches?]

[Unbelievable, I thought Shang Shaojing was such a clean-living guy, but it turns out he’s involved with smoking and drinking too.]

[How did they even dig up photos of Shang Shaojing from kindergarten? How much does he have to offend someone to get to this level?]

[The Weibo super topic shipping him and Su Yinwan got blocked. Isn’t this too real, distancing oneself from a person in trouble at the first chance they get?]

[Don’t spread rumors. Our President Shang has only fallen into a temporary crisis; he will soon make a comeback!]

At this time, Shang Shaojing was sitting in the private room of a teahouse, opposite him was President Sun from Chen’an Entertainment.

Compared to before, Shang Shaojing looked significantly worse for wear, his eyes bloodshot and his face lacking its usual luster; he was like a pool of stagnant water.

He fixed his gaze on President Sun across from him and finally spoke again, "Is that money really impossible to come up with? You know the Shang Family urgently needs it."

President Sun was no longer trembling with fear when facing him; he sipped his tea leisurely and said, "President Shang, as you know, with the current situation our company is under pressure from Chang’an Media Film and Television above, and several emerging companies below are fighting for resources. Every penny is crucial for us. The ten million you invested before, didn’t we agree on a three-year dividend? It’s only been one year; our finances... really can’t spare it."

Shang Shaojing’s complexion changed, his fingertips turning stiff.

"How about just five million for now? Surely, President Sun, you’re not telling me you don’t even have five million?"

"This...." President Sun’s eyes rolled as he set down his tea cup; he seemed to speak earnestly, "President Shang, I’m not trying to advise you, but with that money, it might be better to find a nice place to live well. Why insist on saving a company that’s beyond redemption? If you ask me, any further investment is throwing good money after bad—"

Shang Shaojing’s eyes grew cold, and seeing President Sun’s attitude, he abruptly picked up his coat and stood up.

"President Sun, I haven’t fallen so low that I need you to tell me what to do. Two years from now, I will take back my investment, with interest."

With that, he turned and left.

Behind him, President Sun let out a disdainful snort and slapped the tea cup down hard.

"Two years? Let’s see if you can even last that long!"

Shang Shaojing hadn’t even left the teahouse when a gust of cold wind rushed in.

He shrank his neck and just as he pushed open the teahouse’s door, a dozen reporters with cameras and microphones swarmed around him.

"President Shang, what are your thoughts on the Shang Group’s bankruptcy this time? What caused your investment failure?"

"I heard that the verdict for your father has been issued, due to unclear finances and tax evasion, he will face five years in prison. What would you like to say to your father?"

"Have you seen today’s trending searches? They say you’ve frequently made things difficult for your partners and even humiliated women in public. Now that you’re at the end of your rope, do you regret your past actions?"

One question after another made Shang Shaojing’s face turn dark on the spot.

"Move aside, don’t block the way."

But how could those reporters give up such an opportunity? Far from moving aside, they surged forward even more vigorously.

Veins popped on Shang Shaojing’s forehead, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t break through the encirclement.

His bodyguards and assistants had all resigned before, and now he was alone and helpless, being pushed around on the street by these people.

Finally, he stumbled and fell heavily to the ground, a surge of great humiliation and anger welling up from the depths of his heart, but he was still powerless.

It wasn’t until the sound of high heels hurriedly approached and a pair of hands helped him up from the ground that he found relief.

"Excuse me, make way for me."

"You all crowding here, not afraid of a stampede? I’ve called the police; all of you leading reporters can wait to deal with the lawsuit!"

Su Yinwan’s voice made the reporters on the scene lose their nerve, and one after another, they left.

Only then did she turn to Shang Shaojing and quickly, along with her assistant, supported him.

"Brother Shaojing, are you alright?"

Shang Shaojing looked at the girl whose face was full of worry, and something stirred in his heart.

Fortunately.

There was still someone in this world firmly choosing to stand by him.

Su Yinwan instructed her assistant to bring the car over, directly helping Shang Shaojing inside, and even took the initiative to start treating his wounds.

"Brother Shaojing, don’t listen to those nonsense talks on the internet, they will do anything to smear you."

"You should also go out less during this time; those paparazzi are really annoying. Why don’t you stay at my place? I’ve just freed up a room."

"Brother Shaojing, you—"

Su Yinwan was about to say something more, but Shang Shaojing pulled her into his embrace.

He hugged her as if using all his strength.

"Yinwan, don’t worry, this situation won’t go on forever... I will definitely make you the hottest star in Hua Country."

Su Yinwan leaned into his embrace with blushing cheeks.

"Alright, Brother Shaojing, I believe you absolutely can."

...

On the set, having seen the video of Shang Shaojing being crowded during the interview, Jiang Yan laughed so hard he slapped his thighs.

Luo Xingmu, who was touching up his makeup nearby, glanced at him and smiled slightly, "What’s Young Master Jiang laughing at so happily? The scene you shot yesterday?"

Jiang Yan: "....."

"What the hell do you mean?"

Luo Xingmu continued smiling, "Nothing, just complimenting Young Master Jiang for having a natural talent for comedy."

Jiang Yan, in an unusually good mood, didn’t take issue with Luo Xingmu. After all, this guy was always sour in the crew, displeased with everyone.

Then, he went back to browsing Weibo, and after reading hundreds of negative comments about Shang Shaojing, he felt even better.

Ah, what a pleasure to see a former arch-enemy being cursed by the whole internet!

This is what he gets for shamelessly proposing to his sister!

Though, this method did hurt him a bit.

Looking at his credit card, already deep in the red, Jiang Yan almost shed tears.

Jiang Li, this is all for you!

"Brother Yan, the assistant the director found for you has arrived; come over and meet them!" The voice of a crew member sounded behind him.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to put down his phone.

As he turned around, he froze. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Shang Shuyue? Why is it you?!"

The other party seemed equally shocked, "Jiang Yan, why is it you?!"

Luo Xingmu came over with folded arms, looking for a bit of fun, "You two... know each other?"

"Don’t know each other."

"Know each other."

Shang Shuyue nearly said in unison with Jiang Yan.
