Today's incident is most likely related to Shang Qi knowing that he possesses evidence of Shang Qi's fraudulent activities.
He never expected to run into Shang Qi again in the country.
Since Shang Qi is relentlessly pursuing him, this evidence needs to be brought to light again, and he must take some measures.
It was very late when Ling Shuangjiang turned off her computer and wearily rubbed her temples.
He is not sleepy at all now, and even misses the days when he could only fall asleep with melatonin.
Anxiety and tension returned, and he told himself that those terrible things would not happen again.
He lay on the bed, panting heavily, clutching his pillow. He was so weak that he ignored the WeChat messages.
He finally fell asleep late at night.
He slowly woke up at eight o'clock the next morning. Facing the glaring sunlight, he put on his slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up.
But as he passed by the door, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.
Ling Shuangjiang quietly opened the door, and the person sitting next to her almost startled her. When she saw the person's face clearly, she gently squatted down and stared at Xie Wang.
Xie Wang leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Judging from their attire, they were probably going to work.
A long, fitted black trench coat was worn by Xie Wang, making him look sharp and dashing. The white shirt underneath was tied with a black tie, all neatly buttoned up to the top.
Ling Shuangjiang noticed that Xie Wang's eyelashes were beautiful, thick and long, giving off a gentle vibe. However, it was his narrow, slightly upturned eyes and aggressive aura that made him seem intimidating.
He smiled; he was truly a paradox.
At this moment, Xie Wang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes to look at Ling Shuangjiang.
"What time is it? I think I fell asleep." Xie Wang handed him the insulated bag he was carrying, his eyes still sleepy. "I brought you breakfast. Eat it while it's hot."
Last night, Xie Wang felt that Ling Shuangjiang was worried, so he decided to come and see him this morning and make him breakfast.
Ling Shuangjiang helped him up: "Don't you have a key? Why didn't you just come in and wait for me? It's so uncomfortable sitting here."
Xie Wang: "When I sent you a WeChat message last night, you were already asleep. Without your permission, and since you were at home, how could I just go in? Since I'm here early, I might as well wait here for a while."
Ling Shuangjiang smiled and asked, "Want to eat together?"
Xie Wang: "No, I have a morning meeting, and I've already eaten at home."
Ling Shuangjiang nodded, holding her breakfast: "Then I'll go out and see you off."
Seeing that Ling Shuangjiang was only wearing a thin white nightgown, Xie Wang refused, saying, "I'll walk by myself. You go eat."
Ling Shuangjiang: "Bye-bye."
Back inside, Ling Shuangjiang opened the lunchbox and found a few words written in ketchup on the ham and cheese sandwich: "Little Shuangjiang, good morning."
The handwriting is clearly Xie Wang's; it's elegant and powerful, the strokes flowing like the wind, just like the man himself.
The sandwiches didn't look very appealing, so they were probably made by hand.
Ling Shuangjiang was reluctant to eat it, only taking a small bite, and then spent the rest of the time eating the remaining cherry tomatoes and nuts in the lunchbox.
He now has a very strong desire to share.
He wanted to tell others about Xie Wang's gentleness.
He also wanted to share with others that he had such a wonderful person by his side.
So he took a picture of his breakfast and posted it on Weibo with the caption: "Thank you for breakfast, someone. My good mood for the day has arrived as scheduled."
The fans responded very positively.
[Ahhh, this character looks like Mr. Xie's.]
[I'm going to go compare the handwriting!]
[I don't think we need to compare them; it should be Xie Wang who gave it to me. His family is also in Bintan, and only he knows how to call Xiao Shuangjiang that.]
Is it possible that Shuangjiang is currently living with President Xie?
[Ahhh, don't lie to me! I haven't even gotten over their bad ending yet, and these two are actually living together?!]
[I remember that big lion from last time, could it really be President Xie?]
[So sweet! I really wish it were CEO Xie.]
Although there are also haters of Ling Shuangjiang on Weibo, the comments section is currently very clean because he just posted a Weibo and all the people who came were true fans who had set up follow reminders. He also took a look at it.
So, it turns out that so many people guessed it last time.
Li Man had told him last time that she would send someone to handle the matter, but the fans didn't buy into the explanation from her friend.
Do your friends wear funny masks to make you laugh?
Moreover, that friend was at least 188 cm tall and had a build very similar to Xie Wang, so everyone firmly guessed that it was Xie Wang.
After putting down her phone, Ling Shuangjiang ate her sandwich and began preparing for the new media gala she would be attending the next day.
He felt that he couldn't be saddened by the past anymore, because that would only embolden bad people and hurt his family, friends, and himself who truly cared for him.
He planned to make a sandwich and send it to Xie Wang when he had some free time, as a surprise for him.
After all, these kinds of things require reciprocity.
He also wants to pamper his big dog.

Before we knew it, the day of the New Media Awards arrived.
This event not only invited many celebrities and artists from the industry, but also many entrepreneurs and business upstarts who are at the forefront of the new media field.
In other words, the main focus of this event is actually the various companies, because the new media industry includes not only the internet and mobile phone systems that the public is familiar with, but also wireless communication and satellite services, and the companies that can attend all have scientific research patents to their name.
As a newcomer, Ling Shuangjiang was scheduled to appear later in the lineup. On the eve of the grand ceremony's red carpet event, he sat in the dressing room to rest.
Today, his look is somewhat different from before. His usually obedient bangs are gently gathered up, and the side-parted hairstyle, combined with his unique and gentle temperament, makes him look like a refined and elegant young nobleman from the Republic of China era.
In addition, his suit today was also pure white, and the clever design at the waistline showed off his superior waist and long legs. Just standing there, he looked like an oil painting in the style of the Republic of China.
Li Man handed him the gold-rimmed glasses: "Why don't you give it a try? Red carpet looks are very important. A good performance can quickly improve your public image and attract more fashion resources and brands."
Ling Shuangjiang hesitated for a moment before putting on the gold-rimmed glasses.
Her gentle temperament adds a touch of nobility, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes, framed by glasses, exude an air of aloofness and refinement.
Li Man joked that if Ling Shuangjiang were in the Republic of China era, he would definitely be a rich young master who had returned from studying abroad, detached from worldly affairs, and someone you would want to hide in a brocade box full of treasures.
About an hour later, Ling Shuangjiang appeared on the red carpet. Loud applause and shouts followed. Seeing Ling Shuangjiang's slight surprise, Li Man teased him, "You don't think you're that popular, do you?"
Ling Shuangjiang answered honestly, "Yes."
Li Man: "You should just focus on acting and wait to become a huge star."
Ling Shuangjiang waved to her fans, a genuine smile spreading across her face.
"Ahhh, Xiao Shuangjiang is so beautiful!"
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! He looks so good in person!"
"Is Frost's Descent really this high? So thin and pale, I'd better kill me while I'm wearing my glasses!"
"Gold-rimmed glasses!! I'm done with them!"
Following the host's instructions, Ling Shuangjiang turned around and wrote his name on the autograph backdrop. When he looked up, he noticed Xie Wang's name written not far away.
Recalling Li Man's description of the event, it was not surprising that Xie Wangneng would attend, and he might even present awards.
The red carpet portion of this grand event was broadcast live, but viewers could not see the process of entering the main venue.
When netizens learned from the red carpet video that Xie Wang was also attending, especially the fans of the "brotherly CP" (couple pairing), they were incredibly excited, and the topic of the CP immediately jumped to third place on the trending searches.
As the organizers explained the significance of the event on stage, Ling Shuangjiang sat in the back, her eyes constantly searching for Xie Wang's figure.
However, due to the lighting conditions, he was unable to find it.
Finally, near the end, when the organizers were presenting the Outstanding Contribution Award for New Media, they called out Xie Wang's name.
Xie Wang stood on the left and stepped onto the stage to receive the award.
The silver-gray suit was the first time Ling Shuangjiang had seen Xie Wang wear it. The color was a bit brighter than black, and he exuded a more outward confidence.
When Xie Wang was giving his acceptance speech, the artist next to Ling Shuangjiang whispered, "This is the eldest son of Xie's Hengtai. The second son seems to have never appeared in the public eye."
"I heard that Xie Wang beat up He Chun's Greater China CEO not long ago. He's still in the hospital on an IV drip, but he doesn't dare to say a word. He's also been suspended from his job."
"Huh? What happened between them?"
"I don't know, but I heard that He Chun's advertisements were all replaced in 68 shopping centers that day, and many counters were almost removed."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought Xie Wang wasn't like that kind of person when I watched the variety show before. Sure enough, he's different in private than on camera."
Only now did Ling Shuangjiang realize that Xie Wang had not only argued with Shang Qi that day, but had also beaten him up, and even used some means to force He Chun to expel Shang Qi.
He knew nothing about any of this.
He looked up at the stage and saw that Xie Wang had already gone down and was chatting with other company executives.
He planned to find some time to visit Xie Wang and have a talk with him.
After the ceremony, the organizers prepared a grand banquet for everyone and invited them to dine together.
This private dinner is not open to the media in order to protect everyone's privacy.
Ling Shuangjiang followed the crowd into the banquet hall. The lights inside were very bright, and there was a huge circular dance floor in the center. The crystal glass chandeliers above it were magnificent and looked very luxurious.
The company bosses have already started chatting. They are usually mild-mannered, holding wine glasses, and it is difficult for ordinary people to enter their social circle.
Xie Wang felt out of place among that group of people.
Looks and physique are one aspect, but personality is another. He's not good at pretending; you can tell his mood at a glance.
For example, right now, he's in a bad mood, his face is all gloomy, and I don't know what problem he's encountered.
Xie Wang was accompanied by a man who looked familiar to Ling Shuangjiang; he must be someone from their gathering that day.
"You look beautiful today on Frost's Descent."
Lu Shaoheng appeared beside him, holding a wine glass, and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Ling Shuangjiang: "Thank you, I just finished drinking juice."
