Shen Qingqing pondered for a moment, "Alright, I'll look into it."
Fu Jingshu nodded in satisfaction.
"Not angry anymore?"
She leaned in deliberately, her breath warm like orchids, causing Fu Jingshu to freeze for a moment. His gaze slowly met hers, and he said in a low voice, "So you need to be careful in the future."
Seeing his serious admonishment, Shen Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then her waist tightened as he pulled her into his embrace.
"Even if we're talking about cooperation, you can't spend so long alone."
He said this with a serious expression, when suddenly, Shen Qingqing blurted out, "So, you were watching us from there from the beginning."
Fu Jingshu's eyes flickered.
Shen Qingqing placed her hands on his shoulders, her smile blooming like a flower, "It seems I guessed correctly."
Fu Jingshu's hands tightened, and their bodies pressed closer. A hint of darkness and contentment flashed in his eyes. He raised an eyebrow, "So what if you guessed correctly? I watched, and I'll keep watching."
Shen Qingqing tutted, realizing there was indeed nothing she could do.
She pushed him, but he didn't budge.
"Let go."
"No."
Fu Jingshu said word by word, his gaze moving from her eyes to her nose, and then to her red lips. Unknowingly, the distance between them slowly closed.
"Daddy, Mommy!"
As the door opened, the children scrambled in, chattering. The two quickly separated. Shen Qingqing, with a slight blush on her cheeks, sat upright on the sofa.
Fu Jingshu looked up with his dark eyes. Shen Jinxi blinked in surprise.
It felt like Daddy didn't really want to see him.
Shen Qingqing felt a little awkward, so she stood up and walked towards the door, "I have something to attend to. You stay with Daddy and behave."
The children looked at each other and nodded obediently.
The door closed, and she was gone.
Shen Jinxi looked at Fu Jingshu, "Daddy, what were you guys doing?"
Fu Jingshu's lips curved swiftly. He said in a deep voice, "Nothing. Come here."
The children immediately rushed towards him.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingqing left the hotel and called Ye Se, asking for help to investigate the target audience of Mr. Fang's company's software.
Then, she selected a few clients for visits and investigations.
She soon learned that the children's products were not problematic.
She felt that perhaps Fu Jingshu was being overly anxious, or there was some misunderstanding.
The company had many types of children's products. To be safe, she still bought some products and brought them back for the children to try.
The children were delighted to see the variety of children's products.
"Mommy, you're the best." Shen Jinxi hugged her tightly, his words very sweet.
Just as Shen Qingqing smiled, the other two children leaned in. They weren't very talkative, so they could only express themselves through actions, clinging to her other arm.
Seeing this scene surrounded by little angels made even Fu Jingshu jealous.
He walked over, attempting to pick up Shen Jinxi, but he was easily dodged. Fu Jingshu could only sit down beside them and asked, "What are your plans for the competition?"
He already knew and wanted to get revenge for her immediately.
But Shen Qingqing disagreed, stating she would get revenge herself. He didn't press further, but two days had passed, and she still hadn't done anything.
"Are you soft-hearted? Or do you not have a good plan?"
Shen Qingqing held the children, leaning comfortably on the sofa, "I already have a plan."
Fu Jingshu raised an eyebrow, "Do you need help?"
"No."
Shen Qingqing smiled slightly, mysteriously, "Very soon, you'll see them regret their actions."
Fu Jingshu's gaze was deep and dark, fixed on her, with a hint of admiration and tenderness hidden within. "Then I'll wait and see."
Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows and smiled, her charm radiating, "Just wait and see. I think it's already starting."
Such a smile almost mesmerized the children.
Even Fu Jingshu's eyes deepened, and he unconsciously moved closer, only to be blocked by the children. He silently glanced at them, feeling that these children...
Were sometimes quite troublesome.
But they were his own children, so he couldn't express his annoyance.
...
Meanwhile, the competition organizer was in chaos.
The public relations department was rushing in and out, trying to quell the public outcry and the reporters' incessant questions, almost running themselves ragged. Yet, even so, they couldn't calm the rampant rumors online.
Just at noon, everyone was still feeling smug, eagerly awaiting the day of the competition.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
Suddenly, a post appeared online, titled - Exposing the Competition's Inside Story.
Such a title was enough to attract thousands of people's attention, with furious shares, comments, and likes. The post's popularity skyrocketed almost instantly.
And the content of the post was what truly drove people wild.
The content was simple and direct.
"The design competition is plagiarizing Chinese culture, falsely attributing credit, and all to frame a design competition contestant. Such practices are utterly shameless!"
It even detailed all their planned content.
Whether true or false, this competition carried too much expectation and too many people's gazes. Such comments were enough to push the organizers to the forefront of public scrutiny.
Many reporters, catching wind of the news, rushed to the competition organizer's company and blocked the entrance.
They waited for the organizer to come out, then swarmed him, bombarding him with a barrage of questions, as if pouring beans.
He was left reeling.
Finally, he retreated back into the company in disgrace.
After this incident, people became even more convinced that the organizers were in the wrong. Even without evidence yet, their suspicions grew stronger.
The organizer returned to his office and berated the public relations department, but the department was also helpless. The public opinion online was spreading like wildfire, completely uncontrollable.
"Useless, all of you are useless!"
A group of burly men stood below, silent and motionless.
The organizer was furious, his eyes bloodshot. He directly smashed things on his desk, which shattered all over the floor. His voice was hoarse, "Go find out who did this!"
This was easy to handle. The subordinates quickly took their orders and left.
Not long after, someone came with news, but hesitated.
The organizer, already irate, became even more angry, "Speak! What are you hesitating about?"
"I've found out that the person who released the information is Shen Qingqing."
"It really is her!" The organizer had already suspected it but lacked proof. Moreover, he couldn't quite believe it. "Has this woman gone mad?"
On his turf, she was targeting his company. This competition had many sponsors. By doing this, she was going against the sponsors.
It was equivalent to going against some financial groups in country M.
Did this woman have a problem with her brain?
His subordinate didn't quite understand either, "What should we do? Should we abduct her and then..."
"Shut up!" The organizer glared at him fiercely, "Do you have any brains? You found out, and others can too. This means Shen Qingqing doesn't intend to hide the fact that she released the information. If anything happens to her now, wouldn't it be obvious that we acted out of guilt?"
