Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 204: Punch her in the Face
Chapter 204
Qin Zhao looked at the nebula outside the window and said, "Live an ordinary life for a while."
Sheng Xi felt a bit disappointed that Qin Zhao didn't include her plans in his own life like she did.
But she still went along and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Qin Zhao responded with a faint "Hmm" and closed his eyes for a short rest.
Sheng Xi's assistant, Li Silin, approached and reported on the status of Yabelen Company to her.
"Boss, during the time you were away, we achieved a 27% market share in the virtual reality field, according to the plan you designed in advance. The artificial intelligence and neural robotics departments have also been developing steadily."
Sheng Xi said, "Show me the financial reports for the past few years."
Li Silin handed Sheng Xi a pair of supercomputing glasses.
After putting them on, Sheng Xi used eye movements to navigate the web page and reviewed the financial reports. She then said, "Although the company's cash flow is abundant, recent growth has been sluggish and needs a boost."
Li Silin asked, "Do you want to develop a new project?"
Sheng Xi replied, "Our company's space teleportation technology has been maturing, but we haven't had a chance to promote it to the public."
"What do you have in mind?"
"We can recreate the scenario of the guests being stranded on the Barren Ancient Star from the popular event years ago, 'Surviving in the Ancient Wilderness.' Our return journey can have a similar effect. Instruct the public relations department to announce that Qin Zhao and I will be taking the Maya ship back to Blue Star. Take this opportunity to promote the space teleportation technology used by the spaceship."
Li Silin didn't understand and asked, "What's the reason for doing this, Boss?"
Sheng Xi replied, "To develop several cosmic travel routes."
After hearing this, Li Silin applauded and exclaimed, "As expected of the Boss! With this move, our company's business will expand again, and the market value will experience explosive growth!"
"Hmm, go ahead and do it."
Li Silin nodded eagerly and immediately took a few close-up photos of Sheng Xi and Qin Zhao, then sent them to the public relations department.
Ten minutes later, the news of their return to Blue Star spread throughout the star network.
The passersby who had already forgotten about them, upon seeing their current appearance, couldn't help but feel emotional.
Some viewers rushed to the official account of Xing Qiong Entertainment and angrily criticized them for torturing the good-looking female celebrities like Sheng Xi and Qin Zhao.
Sheng Xi and Qin Zhao's fans hurriedly bought tickets and went to the port where the spaceship docked, causing it to be packed to the point of being impassable.
On the spaceship, Sheng Xi and Qin Zhao tidied themselves up.
They fixed their messy hairstyles.
Applied light makeup to conceal the traces of hardship they brought back from the Barren Ancient Star.
Changed into suitable clothes.
Qin Zhao stood in front of the mirror, looking at his civilized self, and felt a sense of discomfort from the confinement he felt in his body.
Although life on the Barren Ancient Star was difficult, there was a tangible sense of freedom. At least in terms of clothing, the comfort brought by those grass skirts, which felt like wearing nothing, was incomparable to restrictive fashion.
Sheng Xi hugged Qin Zhao from behind and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Qin Zhao replied, "I'm thinking... why is your hand on my chest?"
Sheng Xi rubbed and pinched his chest with her hand and sighed, "It feels really good."
Qin Zhao broke free from her embrace and looked at the Blue Star right in front of them, saying, "It's time to prepare to disembark."
Fifteen minutes later, the spaceship entered the atmosphere and safely landed at Orion Port.
Enthusiastic fans broke through the security lines of hundreds of guards and ran towards them!
Sheng Xi held Qin Zhao's hand and said, "Stay close to me later, so we won't get separated in the crowd."
In less than half a minute, the fans surrounded the two of them!
"Qin Jie, I love you!"
"Zhao Jie, look at me! I'm your fan. I've watched the works you've acted in hundreds of times. When will you take on a new project?"
...
Unexpectedly, there were even more people shouting Qin Zhao's name than Sheng Xi's!
Qin Zhao's fans noticed that their hands were intertwined and once again brought up the incident where Sheng Xi admitted to bullying Qin Zhao during their time on Barren Ancient Star.
"Bully Sheng Xi, let go of my Qin Jie!"
Everyone shouted together, "Bully Sheng Xi! Bully Sheng Xi!"
Qin Zhao stepped forward to stop them, saying, "Please quiet down and listen to me!"
Gradually, the fans stopped yelling.
Qin Zhao continued, "The things that happened between Sheng Xi and me in our childhood were not as simple as everyone has heard. It involves Sheng Xi's privacy, so I won't go into detail. But our misunderstanding has been resolved. So, please refrain from attacking Sheng Xi personally."
Sheng Xi's fans quickly responded, thanking Qin Zhao for clarifying things for Sheng Xi.
Others immediately echoed their sentiments.
The atmosphere changed so quickly that Qin Zhao's fans, in a daze, accepted the reality and stopped cursing at Sheng Xi.
Soon after, the two of them were surrounded by their respective fan groups and had to separate.
"Sheng Jie, can I take a photo with you?"
"Sheng Jie, may I have your autograph?"
"Sheng Jie..."
Sheng Xi agreed to each request.
As Li Silin, accompanied by bodyguards, rescued her from the fans, she suddenly realized that Qin Zhao's figure was no longer among the crowd!
Sheng Xi looked at a slightly open door, her eyes dimming.
Li Silin asked, "Boss, what are you looking at?"
Sheng Xi shook her head and said, "It's nothing. Let's go back to the villa."
Qin Zhao returned home, paid respects to his grandmother's memorial tablet, and then took a shower in the bathroom.
After tidying up the bedroom, changing the bedsheets, and covers, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Qin Zhao went to Xing Qiong Entertainment Company.
When the receptionist saw Qin Zhao, she quickly contacted the CEO's office.
An Xin was reading news about Yabelen Company and, upon hearing the conversation between Guo Qi and the receptionist, closed the StarNet and said, "You go and bring Qin Zhao up."
Guo Qi agreed and left the office.
Qin Zhao waited on the sofa for a while and saw an urban beauty walking towards him.
Guo Qi approached Qin Zhao and said, "Miss Qin, President An is waiting for you in the CEO's office."
Qin Zhao followed Guo Qi into the CEO's dedicated elevator.
Five minutes later, the two arrived at their destination.
Guo Qi opened the door, and Qin Zhao walked in alone.
Qin Zhao looked at An Xin's face, which bore a resemblance to An Hongyu by about thirty percent, and thought, "Finally, I meet this mastermind behind the scenes!"
Other than looking slightly mature and exuding a more formidable aura, she wasn't much different from an ordinary person.
Before An Xin could finish her sentence, she felt a heavy blow to her face!
Qin Zhao rubbed his throbbing fist and said, "Finally, I've caught you. I'll start by giving you a punch to satisfy myself!"
