Chapter 2136: One Bad Idea After Another

Jiang Mobai asked, "Why is everyone so calm? Shouldn't we be a bit more hyped right now?"

Qingkong was not hyped at all.

He rested his chin on his palm and said lazily, "I can already imagine what kind of excuse that old professor will give once the matter is exposed."

"Excuse?"

Su Kexuan added, "His granddaughter was harassed, and as her grandfather, he couldn't let it go, so he exposed the incident. Maybe he'll play the victim a bit, and the matter will just blow over."

Her words received Qingkong's approval, and he nodded repeatedly.

But Jiang Mobai could not agree.

He widened his eyes: "He put us through all this, and he can just play the victim and let it blow over?! In your dreams!!"

"This isn't a dream; it's that after investigating until now, there is no concrete evidence to prove that Qingkong did not harass Xiao Qian."

This...

Jiang Mobai lowered his head and flipped through the organized evidence again. Then he realized it really was like that.

As long as the other party insisted that Qingkong had harassed Xiao Qian, then all the counterattacks they made would be considered justifiable...

In this instant, Jiang Mobai realized he had been too naive.

But he did not lose heart!

He was still actively thinking of ways to remedy the situation!

Soon, Jiang Mobai thought of an idea: "Let's arrange a very outstanding girlfriend for Qingkong. Once the two are compared, it will be clear that Qingkong wouldn't be so desperate as to harass that model named Xiao Qian!"

Su Kexuan felt this plan was not appropriate.

She reminded Jiang Mobai: "Whether someone is desperate doesn't depend on comparison, but on self-control. Your method lacks persuasiveness."

A man with weak self-control will turn into a peacock the moment he sees a pretty woman, regardless of whether he has a girlfriend or not.

While showing off his charm, he'll be flirting in all sorts of ways!

Jiang Mobai, however, did not agree with Su Kexuan's words.

He wanted to argue with Su Kexuan for a bit.

But then he thought about his own past behavior...

Forget it, better to keep quiet.

Jiang Mobai crossed his arms and fell into deep thought once again.

This time, his thinking lasted longer than the last.

His facial expressions were also varied.

Finally, he looked at Qingkong with a solemn face: "I do have another way, but it requires sacrificing your reputation."

Qingkong raised an eyebrow involuntarily: "What do you mean?"

"Um... actually, this is very simple. You just need to announce in public that you like men, and Xiao Qian's lie will fall apart on its own!"

A gay man would absolutely never lay a hand on a woman.

So as long as Qingkong was willing to go all out and the public believed his words, then Xiao Qian would turn from a victim into a liar.

The rumors and gossip that the three of them had suffered would all backfire onto Xiao Qian!

The more Jiang Mobai thought about it, the more he felt his suggestion was perfect.

He even wanted to ask his two partners for their opinions.

As a result...

Just as he met Qingkong's gaze, he saw him staring over with a hazy look in his eyes.

"Y-you, what are you doing?"

"Oh my, how did you know I like men?"

Qingkong gave Jiang Mobai a coquettish, reproachful glare.

And what he said... made Jiang Mobai almost vomit his dinner from the night before!

Jiang Mobai hurriedly patted his chest.

Then he pointed a finger at Qingkong and warned: "You, you be normal!"

"I am very normal,"

"Normal... don't tell me you actually like men!? No wonder you aren't interested in women!"

Seeing that this guy didn't hear the sarcasm and instead started imagining things...

Qingkong couldn't hold it in anymore.

He rolled his eyes, and his voice returned to normal: "If you spread rumors again, I'll let you know just how 'not normal' I can be!"

Only then did Jiang Mobai realize he had been played by Qingkong.

He couldn't help but knit his brows.

He even started accusing Qingkong: "We're here coming up with ideas for you, why are you still being so flippant?"

Jiang Mobai... accusing someone else of being flippant?

Su Kexuan found it novel.

After all, in normal circumstances, Jiang Mobai was the one who made people feel helpless.

And Qingkong, who was being accused by Jiang Mobai, remained unhurried: "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Of course, participate and start a brainstorming session!"

Brainstorming, huh...

Qingkong glanced at Su Kexuan.

Then he said with a smile: "That's possible, but I tend to lose control of the direction of the storm, and then I start thinking about all sorts of random things."

On this point, Su Kexuan could confirm.

To prevent Qingkong from taking the opportunity to spout nonsense, Su Kexuan said, "Don't count on him; if he doesn't cause trouble at a critical moment, that is already his greatest effort."

After hearing this, Qingkong smiled and shrugged at Jiang Mobai.

The meaning was as if to say: See, it is Su Kexuan who won't let me speak.

Jiang Mobai found it incredible.

He asked, "How can you still laugh?"

"Why wouldn't I be able to laugh?"

"You are being disliked by Kexuan!"

"Hey, what does that matter? As long as she doesn't dislike my work and my ability, that's fine."

Qingkong certainly had a good attitude.

However, Jiang Mobai could not do the same.

He even complained to Su Kexuan, "He isn't even worried about his own affairs, so why should we bother? Let him fend for himself!"

"That won't do. If he flops, all my previous efforts will be in vain; I cannot let my career have a stain."

"I see..."

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Mobai's attitude toward Qingkong changed: "Then you should be more proactive and stop thinking about slacking off all the time."

The completely different attitude before and after made Qingkong ask with a smile, "Are you a weather vane? Can't you have some persistence of your own?"

"Of course I have my own persistence, and that is to make Kexuan happy!"

When Jiang Mobai said this, he was open and aboveboard.

It was as if keeping Su Kexuan happy was a very important job.

It's just that... this job is a bit cheesy.

Qingkong shivered and rubbed his arms at the same time.

Su Kexuan also turned her head to the side.

She hid the smile at the corners of her mouth completely.

Then she said to Qingkong, "If this storm cannot be resolved, your next exhibition will be indefinitely postponed, and your works will not be able to be appreciated by others."

When it came to work, Qingkong became a bit more serious.

But the way he was serious was...

"Hey, Jiang Mobai, you need to hurry up and resolve this storm."

Jiang Mobai found it incredible: "Why me?"

"Because in the next exhibition, I am going to display your photos. If the exhibition is indefinitely postponed, your charm will not be able to be appreciated by others."

This person was simply reprocessing what Su Kexuan had just said.

And then he righteously shifted the responsibility onto Jiang Mobai.

In common parlance, this is called passing the buck.

After hearing this, Su Kexuan sighed helplessly.

She now also felt that Qingkong was overly cavalier.

But on the other side, Jiang Mobai had become serious.

He was seen rubbing his hands together as he said, "The matter is easy to solve: pry open the mouths of that old professor and his granddaughter, make them admit they lied, and then Qingkong's suspicion can be cleared!"

"May I ask how you intend to pry them open?"

"Hmm... I will think of a way!"

Jiang Mobai's brain began to spin rapidly.

Plans were coming one after another.

The expression on his face flickered between light and shadow.
