My Exclusive Dream World Adventures-Chapter 180 - made a big mistake
Chapter 180: 180 made a big mistake
Chapter 180: 180 made a big mistake
At night, Bai Jinxuan leaned back against the headboard of her bed, her fingers resting on the edge of the bed, gently tapping out some rhythm.
The room was lit by a single white light bulb, and the world outside was tranquility itself.
In such an environment, she felt as though she had returned to a dream where she and Chen Xu lived under one roof. Back then, quietness surrounded them too, but the mere thought of him sleeping in the next room gave her a profound sense of peace.
“Chen Xu, where are you now, what are you doing?”
“Are you holding your girl, laughing at my foolish courage?”
She stopped her tapping, and in the deep, silent night, she could not help but think about the question she had always been reluctant to face.
Chen Xu had a girlfriend. He deeply loved that woman, and even when he found himself in another world, he did not forget her, much less accept her confession.
For a whole six months, she couldn’t move this man with a heart of stone.
Back on Earth, at last, he could be with his beloved. Was her all-in gambit really enough to move him?
“Chen Xu, if you don’t want me, then I really have nothing left.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Creak, suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.
She reflexively pulled the blanket up over her body and turned to look, only to see her agent Fangfang, a look of shock on her face, “How did you get here?”
“Jinxuan, are you alright?” Fangfang, relieved to see her unharmed, hurried over to ask.
“I’m fine.” Bai Jinxuan suddenly remembered something, threw off the covers to get up, and said, “Right, my cellphone.”
“It’s here. I brought it with me.” Fangfang held out her bag and handed it over.
After receiving the bag, Bai Jinxuan quickly took out her phone, only to find it wouldn’t turn on—probably dead by now. She anxiously asked, “Where’s the charger?”
“I’ll go find it.” Fangfang turned and left the room.
Before long, Fangfang returned with a charger and an adapter, and after hooking up the phone, it finally turned on.
She opened QQ, which hung for several seconds, and received an onslaught of messages that immediately surpassed 99+.
This was a new account she had bought, with not a single contact added, all of these were friend requests.
It was only then that she realized she had made a big mistake and couldn’t help asking Fangfang, “How many people do you think have added this number?”
Scratching his head, Fangfang said, “At the very least, tens of thousands, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it were even a hundred thousand.”
Hearing the number, Bai Jinxuan felt her scalp tingle. How much time would it take to go through these messages one by one?
Fangfang suggested, “Why not post a new Weibo and change the verification method?”
“No.” Bai Jinxuan’s heart skipped a beat, remembering her earlier worries, and shook her head.
That’s when she finally remembered the important issue at hand and asked, “Oh right, how did you get here?”
“It was Supervisor Shao who brought us here.” Fangfang corrected himself quickly, “No, I mean President Shao.”
“President Shao?” Bai Jinxuan exclaimed in surprise.
Fangfang’s eyes shone as he spoke, “Yes, now she’s the new president of our company.”
“What exactly happened? What about President Qin?” Bai Jinxuan immediately asked.
Fangfang seemed quite excited, “President Qin has been ousted. Yesterday, news broke that he was involved with a certain actress, even photos were leaked. Soon enough, his identity was dug up, he trended online, and then he just took off. I heard he didn’t even manage to keep his shares.”
When Bai Jinxuan heard the actress’s name, she instantly understood. President Qin had been audacious indeed; daring to mess with that one was courting death.
“After President Qin left, Supervisor Shao was appointed as the company’s general manager.”
Just then, Shao Qing walked in from outside and, looking at Bai Jinxuan with a smile, said, “You’re looking well, and that relieves me.”
“President Shao,” Fangfang stood up and called out respectfully.
Shao Qing gave an order, “You go out first, get the things ready. I’ll have a chat with her.”
“Yes.” And with that, Fangfang left.
In the room, just the two of them remained.
Bai Jinxuan looked at her with gratitude, “Aunt Shao, I owe you a lot. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how long I’d be trapped.”
Shao Qing shook her head, “No need to thank me. You just had to submit, and they wouldn’t have been able to do much to you, right? You’re just too stubborn, always thinking to fight them head-on, and that’s why things got to this point. In my opinion, you just wanted to stir up a big story, to let the whole world know.”
Bai Jinxuan fell silent.
“Do you realize how much chaos there’s been outside? Your fans are up in arms, our competitors are fanning the flames. In just one day, waves of people have planned to protest in front of the company. Online, there are stories everywhere about how your own agency is holding you hostage. Now that you’ve achieved your goal, can you let it rest?”

Bai Jinxuan still held that phone in her hand, “I never thought President Qin would do such a thing.”
“He’s not really stupid, why would he do something like this?” Shao Qing laughed.
Bai Jinxuan looked puzzled at her.
“The fact is, Qin was never fully committed to this business, lacking deep roots in the industry. Though he had some connections and funds, to get things done, he needed professionals. So, they brought me on board. Then, using my past relationships, I managed to recruit quite a few people. Some may seem insignificant, but at the critical moment, they can make a huge impact.”
Shao Qing didn’t go into details, but Bai Jinxuan could guess from her hints that President Qin had been sabotaged by his own people.
The house arrest was the first step, followed by the scandal, which was the fatal blow.
The first incident exposed President Qin’s incompetency, which wasn’t so critical; it was manageable as long as the situation was quickly defused. The second incident really cost him his life, as it offended a powerful figure within the industry, inevitably affecting the entire company.
Hence, President Qin was out of the game.
The agency wasn’t just his alone; it was a joint venture registered by many stakeholders. The former President Qin and the now President Shao were merely administrators.
Shao Qing said, “All right, tidy yourself up. We’re leaving here, and then, we’ll hold a press conference to clear things up, lest the situation gets out of hand.”
“Okay,” Bai Jinxuan nodded. Her relationship with Shao Qing was not ordinary. With Shao Qing as the company’s general manager, a lot could be negotiated.
Soon, she got into a car and left the place she had stayed for less than a day.
Sitting in the car, her phone connected to a power bank, she began going through the verification messages one by one. Looking at all kinds of bizarre responses, she sighed involuntarily. How long would it take to go through all these messages?
Perhaps she wouldn’t be able to keep up with the speed at which others were sending them.
Despite the headache, her hands never stopped moving, glancing at one and rejecting it, looking at another, and rejecting it again…
PS: This is the update for Saturday. And then, vote for the monthly ticket.
Lastly, a friendly recommendation for a book, “The Strongest Battle Music.”
