Chapter 103: The Cross-Dressing Big Shot
Sheng Yukai did not believe for a second that the housekeeper didn't know where Yingzi was; she just didn't want to tell him.
"Fine, if she isn't here, then where is your Eldest Young Master? Seeing him will do too." Sheng Yukai's patience was gradually being exhausted.
He was truly wronged regarding yesterday's events, and he had to see the parties involved to explain things clearly.
The housekeeper said, "The Eldest Young Master isn't here either..."
Before Sheng Yukai could continue asking, she added another sentence: "Right, when they left, they seemed to say they would be back in the morning. Why don't you go take a shower and change your clothes first?"
She apologized, "I am truly sorry, your nice clothes were ruined by me. The clothes I have here aren't as high-end as yours, but they are absolutely brand new and clean."
Originally, he had intended to wait here until death, but the wet clothes sticking to his body were uncomfortable, and that basin of water from earlier definitely wasn't clean; it had a strange smell.
Thus, he accepted the housekeeper's "kind offer" to go take a shower and change clothes.
Turning on the showerhead, Sheng Yukai shrieked in shock: "Why is the water cold?"
No one responded; the housekeeper seemed to be gone.
Cold water was one thing, but he squeezed out the body wash... and before he could even rub it on his body, he smelled a scent of garlic!
Who would invent garlic-scented body wash?
Sheng Yukai understood; this was all the housekeeper's idea... or perhaps the idea of those few people who hadn't shown their faces.
It was just to mess with him, to get revenge.
If doing this could let them vent their anger and stop the attacks on the Sheng Group, then he would swallow this insult.
He would keep a tally of this debt and settle it later!
He prepared to come out, only to discover that his clothes were gone!
It's over, they wouldn't just not come back, would they?
Just as he was worrying, the housekeeper returned.
"Chairman Sheng, I went to get your clothes. Are you done washing? I've left the clothes at the door for you."
"Good."
Sheng Yukai didn't mention the cold shower water or the garlic-scented body wash; when one is under another's roof, one must bow one's head. He knew he couldn't act tough now and had to show weakness; even swallowing his pride was necessary.
However, he quickly overturned this thought.
"Zhang Ma, you've gone too far. What kind of things did you bring me?"
What Sheng Yukai held in his hand was the kind of big, floral-patterned clothing that middle-aged women wear, with wide-leg pants. It was fine, at least she didn't bring him a dress.
There was underwear, too, and it was all the same style as a middle-aged woman's. It was brand new, with the tags still on.
The housekeeper outside covered her mouth and went downstairs quietly without a sound.
She tiptoed to the main gate, opened it, and let the people outside in.
Sheng Yukai paced back and forth in the bathroom. His body was covered in cold water, and now it was getting colder and colder. Soon, he was shivering and hunched over, freezing uncontrollably.
The warm air switch in the bathroom seemed to be broken; it had no reaction at all.
This won't do; Sheng Yukai couldn't endure it inside anymore. He realized he had been tricked!
There wasn't even a bath towel in the bathroom. Now, besides these ugly clothes, there was absolutely nothing else to wear.
Just wear them; no matter how ugly, it's better than freezing to death.
Sheng Yukai assumed the housekeeper was messing with him, thinking that since no one else would see anyway, he would get it all back with interest later.
Sheng Yukai quickly put on the middle-aged woman's floral outfit and walked out of the bathroom.
"Zhang Ma, Zhang Ma—"
"Where are you? Now you can tell me..."
Walking to the top of the stairs, Sheng Yukai suddenly widened his eyes and immediately ran back!
Camera flashes flickered incessantly behind him. Reporters hurriedly followed, chasing behind him and shouting: "Chairman Sheng, please explain, what are you doing here?"
"Why are you wearing women's clothing? Is it because you have this hobby?"
"Can you explain? Hey, don't run..."
Every door in the hallway was locked. He wanted to hide but had nowhere to go; even the bathroom he had just come out of was now inaccessible!
The reporters caught up. Sheng Yukai had nowhere to hide, so he could only lift his lapels to cover his face.
"Don't take pictures! Don't take pictures of me! Doing this without my permission is an infringement of human rights! I will go to court to sue you."
Sheng Yukai threatened; now he remembered human rights.
The reporters weren't afraid; they weren't real anyway, so he could sue all he wanted.
A microphone was thrust in front of Sheng Yukai: "Chairman Sheng, please explain, there is no one in this house, how did you get in?"
"And regarding the Weibo big-V 'The Rabbit Who Can Act Cute' from yesterday, please explain what your relationship with him is..."
Sheng Yukai's eyeballs rolled around, and he simply lowered his lapels to let them take pictures openly: "The boss of Dingsheng invited me here. If he hadn't invited me, how could I have gotten in?"
"And I don't know that 'Rabbit' you're talking about, and I have absolutely no relationship with him. He framed and slandered me. I came here this time to clear up misunderstandings with Chairman Sheng and Chairman Ying, and to discuss cooperation..."
Talking nonsense was second nature to Sheng Yukai; he didn't even need to draft it, it just came out, and the more he spoke, the smoother it got.
He spoke eloquently, and by the end, even he believed it himself.
But the reporters became increasingly distracted; before he had even finished speaking, some had already turned off their equipment and turned back.
Where there is a start, there are followers; in a short while, the people were all gone!
"Hey, what is wrong with you all?"
A sense of foreboding rose in Sheng Yukai's heart. He chased after them, warning: "I warn you, you are not allowed to take things out of context and report them randomly, otherwise I will definitely make it so you can't survive in Jiangzhou."
The top floor office of the Ginza Building.
"Not bad, it's written well." Yun Zhe Hao flipped through the various big-V Weibo accounts, commenting as he read.
Jian Yining was even busier; he didn't just comment, but also reposted, liked, and enthusiastically participated in the middle of it all.
Sheng Zerong said he had a cold and didn't come.
Sheng Hanyu had been busy with his own affairs on the computer for the entire morning; he was as if he didn't exist, unaffected by others and only doing his own work.
Yingzi didn't just repost; she was also manipulating the gossip regarding Sheng Yukai.
Sheng Yukai had now become a "celebrity" on the internet; the photo of him appearing at the stairwell wearing flowery clothes was now circulating across the entire web!
He was even dubbed "Cross-dressing Big Shot!" by netizens.
The comments under the photo were varied and said all sorts of things, but none of them were kind.
The Sheng Clan's stock was also plummeting like a floodgate being opened; it had now triggered the stock market circuit breaker mechanism and was stuck at the daily limit.
After the market opens tomorrow, it won't take long before it continues to hit the daily limit!
As long as the daily limit continues for more than three days, the century-old reputation of the Sheng Family will be called into question, and the Sheng Family will also suffer a heavy blow.
Jian Yining's devilishly handsome face blossomed into a smile, his peach-blossom eyes frequently shooting sparks at Yingzi as he exclaimed, "Yingzi, you are truly amazing. Hanyu Ge and Sheng Yukai have fought for so many years, but none of it was as satisfying as your move this time."
"Cross-dressing Big Shot, hahahahahaha..."
He laughed every time he looked at it, truly unable to help himself.
Yun Zhe Hao also admiringly gave Yingzi a thumbs up: "Amazing, truly amazing. It's a good thing you are a partner and not an opponent; if you were an opponent..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he shivered.
This woman's mind turned too fast, her reactions were too sharp, and she had one devious idea after another; it was simply dizzying.
They were teaming up to deal with Sheng Yukai, which he found satisfying, but if she were to turn around and deal with Dingsheng... although they wouldn't necessarily lose, it would certainly be tragic.
Yingzi was modest: "You two should stop praising me. Actually, I didn't do anything; these are all things Sheng Yukai has done, I just returned them to him with interest."
This series of interlocking schemes was brushed off by her with a light remark.
Didn't do anything?
Sheng Yukai didn't even dare to step out the front door now; as soon as he went out, someone would call him a pervert or a cross-dressing big shot, and if there were a crack in the ground, he would not hesitate to crawl into it and never come out again.
