Si Ruoxi stepped aside, "Come in."
Si Ruoxi's face was cold, resentment filled her heart toward Yang Fei.
His prank had ruined her entire life, her future.
Although the new station head was very polite to Si Ruoxi,
this kind of respectful but distant politeness
made Si Ruoxi realize that her days at the TV station were likely numbered.
Yang Fei, however, showed no signs of realizing the trouble he had caused.
He strolled into the room nonchalantly, smiling as he surveyed the suite's amenities.
"How is it, Miss Ruoxi? Are you getting used to living here?"
Si Ruoxi laughed coldly.
"More than three thousand yuan a day, a hundred thousand a month, do you think I can get used to it?"
In fact, the room Si Ruoxi stayed in was the very affordable Tian character room.
This kind of room allowed Changfeng Bodyguards to provide basic protection.
If Si Ruoxi demanded higher security, it would cost ten thousand yuan a day.
If she went further and required the personal protection of a Chief Bodyguard like Long Xia, the price would be extremely high.
Although Si Ruoxi was a well-known host, her income was not very high.
Her financial earnings could barely cover the cost of such high-level security rooms.
Remembering this, Si Ruoxi could hardly suppress her grievances.
She stared at Yang Fei's face.
"Who exactly are you, and why are you hurting me?"
Yang Fei sighed deeply.
"My original intention was just to sabotage the program you were recording."
"It's just that the joke went too far, and I am sorry that Miss Ruoxi has suffered undeservingly."
He thought for a moment and tapped the table.
"How about this, as a director of Lanting Hotel, I promise Miss Ruoxi,"
"We will provide Miss Ruoxi with free security services."
"Additionally, we will send someone to negotiate with Qian Wantong and stop him from troubling Miss Ruoxi. How does that sound?"
Si Ruoxi's eyes widened.
"You are a director at Lanting Group? Damn, why did you deceive me?"
No matter what, she hadn't imagined
that this man in his twenties, infuriatingly handsome, was a director of the Lanting Group.
Having developed for over half a year, Lanting Chain Hotels had become a tycoon in Shan Province's hotel industry, known for luxurious decor and excellent service.
And the hotel's innovative security service had sent Lanting Hotel's reputation skyrocketing.
Yang Fei knew that, without clarifying the video incident,
the number one beauty of Shan Province TV Station would always hate him deeply.
He smiled slightly and then spoke seriously.
"Because I am also a director at Yalan International."
"What, you're also a director at Yalan International?"
This time, Si Ruoxi was utterly shocked.
Yalan International had risen in Yannan and was already expanding nationwide.
Yalan Fashion's brand, even when compared to many of the country's large fashion brands, was second to none.
Economists had estimated Yalan International's stock value to be worth over five billion yuan.
This man in his twenties was actually a director at both Yalan International and Lanting Group?
Slightly dazed, Si Ruoxi's breath quickened.
Although she was just a provincial TV station host, she was also part of the entertainment circle.
She had met countless showing-off tycoons, but she had never met one as low-key as him.
And on top of that, he was so young.
Unconsciously, Si Ruoxi's demeanor softened a bit.
Compared to women like Chen Ke and Lin Xueyi, Si Ruoxi had a better understanding of the terrifying power of money.
A tycoon like Yang Fei was not someone she could afford to provoke.
Yang Fei paid no attention to the change in Si Ruoxi's attitude.
He rhythmically tapped his fingers on the table, talking at ease.
"Miss Ruoxi, do you realize how much impact your news broadcast could cause to Yalan International?"
"You media people waving the flag of press freedom, all you do is cause trouble every day."
Although Si Ruoxi held Yang Fei in great respect because of his stature,
she didn't yield an inch when it came to her professional ethics.
"Mr. Yang Fei, I disagree with you," she said.
"Reporting the truth is my job."
"Your deliberate sabotage and disruption of normal news broadcasts is illegal."
Yang Fei sneered.
"Does Qian Wantong's sexual harassment of his female subordinates not count as major news?"
"Why don't you report that in a timely manner?"
This question left Si Ruoxi speechless, her pretty face turning bright red.
She thought of her own grievances and tears began to fall drop by drop.
Yang Fei really couldn't stand to see women cry; he raised his hands as if to surrender.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. I was just discussing the facts," he said.
"I'm not attacking your professional ethics. It's something beyond your control anyway."
Si Ruoxi covered her face with her hands, her body shaking violently.
Her off-white, wide-legged pants outlined her beautifully shaped legs exquisitely.
Yang Fei wanted to say something comforting, but Si Ruoxi began screaming hysterically.
"What can I do? I'm just a weak woman."
"I can't provoke someone with Qian Wantong's background and power."
"Even if he bullied my colleague, even if he has impure intentions towards me, I still have to suffer in silence and carry on."
"None of you understand how difficult it is to find work you love in order to support yourself!"
As she spoke, she suddenly took her hands away from her face, her eyes tearful as she looked at Yang Fei.
"You and Qian Wantong are cut from the same cloth."
"You're both high and mighty, acting on your own whims."
"Have you ever thought about how the people toyed with by you should carry on with their lives?"
Si Ruoxi's intense emotions left Yang Fei somewhat at a loss.
Moreover, every single thing she said left him with no room for rebuttal.
When he was messing with Si Ruoxi, Yang Fei indeed hadn't considered her position and circumstances.
He scratched his scalp and said sheepishly, "I'm not quite the same as Qian Wantong."
"At least I'm better-looking than him, and besides, I couldn't produce such a fantastic blockbuster."
With a snort of laughter!
The enraged and aggrieved Si Ruoxi was amused by his shamelessness.
The wealthy tycoons she had encountered were all arrogant and imperious.
Even when dealing with a top beauty like Si Ruoxi, at most they would slightly curb their arrogance, resulting in a strong sense of superiority and reservation.
In Si Ruoxi's eyes, those people lived fake lives.
But Yang Fei before her was very real, so real he seemed adorable.
Si Ruoxi's smile was beautiful, her sunny and dignified demeanor refined through years of professional training.
Even with tears in her eyes, they couldn't overshadow the brilliance of her smile.
Si Ruoxi let out a sigh.
"Actually, in a way, I'm grateful to you," she said.
"You did what I never dared to do. I'm a woman who doesn't dare to fight Qian Wantong."
"He is a leader with powerful connections, and I heard he even knows many people from the underworld."
"To me, Qian Wantong was like a mountain that couldn't be toppled."
"But with this unexpected turn, I suddenly realized that Qian Wantong isn't so scary after all."
As she spoke, her face lit up with a radiant smile.
"That day, when personnel from the prosecutor's office took Qian Wantong away,"
"he collapsed on the ground, crying, tears, and snot all over his face. It was such a delightful sight."
Yang Fei chuckled.
"Great Ancestor once said that all reactionaries are paper tigers; I hold true to that," he said.
And with that, they both burst into laughter.
