In his interactions, Mi Yan also felt that Sang Yu was impressive, but the competitiveness of boys was naturally strong, and he naturally couldn’t stand being outdone.

However, the outcome every time was always Sang Yu outshining him.

This made Mi Yan very unhappy.

Mi Yan usually followed Sang Yu around, but deep down he was never convinced.

Then that incident happened...

He knew early on that the master was coming.

If Sang Yu succeeded in the interview, there would be no place for him. Unable to compete with normal means, he had to think of other ways.

Sang Yu felt a chill in his heart: "It’s because of this."

Mi Yan remained silent.

"Since senior already knows, I have nothing to say. This world is like this; if you don’t scheme against me, I’ll scheme against you. I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, I just did it for my future."

He had never regretted it.

After all, he never truly considered Sang Yu as a senior from the start.

From the beginning, he regarded this person as a rival.

"But senior, I was really surprised you used a woman to deal with me."

This was the purpose of Mi Yan today.

That woman hid in the shadows, impossible to guard against.

Now the only person he could confront was Sang Yu.

"I didn’t know about this matter."

"Now senior knows," Mi Yan said, "You can retaliate against me, but I hope you’ll come personally and not use a woman. That would only make me look down on you."

Mi Yan threw down these words, got off the car, and left.

Sang Yu watched Mi Yan disappear into the crowd, frowned, and drove back to his place.

"Xiao Chu."

Sang Yu pushed open the study door and saw Chuzheng, as expected, occupying his desk, flipping through a professional book.

"You’re back?" The girl flipping through the book greeted without looking up.

Sang Yu took the book from Chuzheng’s hands and softly asked her, "Did you find someone to deal with Mi Yan?"

"What?"

"Did you find someone to deal with Mi Yan?"

"Why would I deal with him? Do I have that much free time?"

"..."

Sang Yu stared at Chuzheng, the latter looking at him with a serious and earnest face, as if it really had nothing to do with her.

"Wasn’t it you?" Sang Yu asked suspiciously.

Chuzheng calmly countered, "Why say it’s me, do you have evidence?" This scoundrel even dared to complain to the Good Person Card; I’ll teach him a lesson.

Mi Yan indeed didn’t give him evidence, but the first person Sang Yu thought of was Chuzheng.

However, Chuzheng denied it so confidently, showing no sign of lying.

Sang Yu was half convinced: "Xiao Chu, I don’t need you to do so much for me. Sometimes I can handle it myself."

Chuzheng with a stern face: "I didn’t do anything."

Sang Yu: "..."

-

Chuzheng dismissed Sang Yu, then turned her head and sent Mi Yan a big gift as a reward for his complaint.

Whatever happened to Sang Yu before, Chuzheng would replicate and return it to him now.

Sang Yu had just asked Chuzheng, and in the next moment, Mi Yan encountered trouble, the exact same trouble Sang Yu faced back then. How could it be such a coincidence?

But when asking Chuzheng, the answer was always: I didn’t, it wasn’t me, don’t speak nonsense.

What could Sang Yu do?

He was utterly helpless.

-

Mi Yan’s incident this time was far more severe than Sang Yu’s, especially now that the media is so developed, and Mi Yan is much more well-known than Sang Yu was back then.

No matter how Mi Yan explained, no one believed him.

Just like back then, Sang Yu’s feeble explanations.

People believe what they see, and your explanation is just an excuse.

Many in the circle called to inquire, but those who seemed to be good friends before were now ridiculing within their words.

Mi Yan truly experienced that feeling of helplessness.

He previously thought that even if Chuzheng targeted him, it would just mean he wouldn’t get any orders, pressuring him.

But he didn’t expect Chuzheng to use this method against him...

One can imagine what kind of days Mi Yan has been going through during this time.

Now Mi Yan dared not even step out of the door.

Ding dong——

Mi Yan was startled by the doorbell, looking nervously at the door.

Ding dong——

The doorbell rang unhurriedly, urging the person inside to open the door.

Mi Yan wasn’t a star; no one would come to his house to stalk him. Mi Yan was just feeling a bit paranoid during this time.

About a minute later, Mi Yan got up to open the door.

The person outside made Mi Yan very surprised, his pupils slightly shrinking, asking through gritted teeth, "What are you doing here?"

Chuzheng confidently said, "I have something to discuss, of course."

The anger Mi Yan had been suppressing these days exploded: "You were behind this, weren’t you?"

Chuzheng nodded matter-of-factly, "Yes. Wasn’t this how you treated Sang Yu... back then? I’m just returning it to you. You don’t like it?"

Mi Yan: "..."

He liked using these methods on others, but when used on him, how could he possibly like it? He’s not a masochist!

Mi Yan clenched his fists: "What are you here for now?"

Chuzheng said leisurely, "Solving this issue is very simple."

Mi Yan looked puzzled; she had messed things up like this and was now saying: Solving this issue is very simple?

Chuzheng looked at him: "Clear Sang Yu’s name from the past incident."

"Are you kidding?" Clear Sang Yu’s name; wouldn’t that mean admitting to everyone that he was the one behind it? What good would come from that!

"You only have two choices: either carry this burden of infamy, be despised, and ostracized, just like Sang Yu back then, or clear the past incident."

Chuzheng felt she was really too good.

Giving this scoundrel a choice.

Every day, working hard to be a good person!

[... Miss, please spare the good person.]

Chuzheng: Weren’t you the one who told me not to spare him? How can you System be so contradictory!

[...] Sorry, it was wrong.

Mi Yan’s face turned pale, his body cold.

Neither of these choices was acceptable.

No matter what he chose, he wouldn’t end up well.

"Think about it carefully, you only have one day," Chuzheng said with her arms crossed, then left.

-

A day later, Mi Yan posted on social media, clarifying that he was the one who orchestrated the incident involving Sang Yu before.

After seeing this, Chuzheng asked Mi Yan to post it on Weibo too.

Mi Yan: "..."

Mi Yan, after much weighing, chose to clarify because he thought that since so much time had passed, probably not many people remembered Sang Yu.

Mi Yan wished he could strangle Chuzheng, but in the end, he had no choice but to do as she said.

Indeed, there weren’t many who remembered Sang Yu, but some people still did.

Some in the circle suddenly saw such a heavy piece of news and immediately shared it with their colleagues.

This news quickly spread.

Chuzheng didn’t deceive Mi Yan; after confirming his post, she also had someone clarify for Mi Yan, saying some girl liked him, couldn’t confess successfully, and slandered him on purpose.

However, with two things happening one after another, it was hard for everyone not to speculate.

As for these people’s thoughts, they were no longer within Chuzheng’s consideration.
