Chapter 1993 - 96: Feint to the East, Strike to the West
Jin Bo’s brows knit together. "Even if the sky falls, there’ll be someone taller holding it up. Do you really need to panic like this?"
Fang Zheng, "..."
So this is what they mean by "the Emperor’s not anxious, it’s the eunuch who’s dying of worry"! He was truly experiencing it firsthand!
So that meant Mayor Jin still hadn’t seen the news.
Should he just say it outright?
After thinking about it, he decided to forget it!
Jin Bo, "Where’s the rest?"
Fang Zheng, "Mayor Jin, please look at the entertainment front-page headline."
Jin Bo hung up, picked up his phone, opened the browser, casually clicked on a news website, and opened it. The entertainment section had already been taken over by Lu Yi’s Weibo post.
Yan Xiaoxi watched him stare at his phone in silence for a long time. She leaned over to take a look, and her face instantly turned unspeakably ugly.
Lu Yi had actually gone straight on Weibo to clarify that he and Zhao Yiran had never been romantically involved, and that the one he had always liked and been with was her!
Not only that, he even posted photos of them from when they were together before, and @’d Yan Xiaoxi’s Weibo.
She never imagined he would do something like this.
Neither had Jin Bo.
Even less so the Zhao Family.
One piece of news, and the entire entertainment circle exploded.
The most hyped-up were Zhao Yiran’s fans. They cursed him as a scumbag under Lu Yi’s Weibo, then rushed over to Yan Xiaoxi’s Weibo and started practically rabidly attacking her with all kinds of curses and abuse.
Jin Bo watched for a long time, then called Fang Zheng. "Go handle this."
Fang Zheng, "M-Mayor Jin, how should I handle it?"
Jin Bo glanced at Yan Xiaoxi, then said in a low voice, "Delete her Weibo account."
Fang Zheng, "Yes, Mayor Jin."
Jin Bo paused, then said quietly, "I’ll send you a photo later. Post it from my Weibo account. You can figure out the caption yourself."
Fang Zheng, "Alright."
His lord mayor was suddenly appreciating him so much; it had to be because he valued his usual Weibo-posting skills.
Just think how much effort he normally put into posting Weibo—so much that the Mayor of Hong Kong had now broken the ten-million-follower mark!
This wasn’t even the entertainment industry, and they hadn’t bought any followers. They were all solid, hardcore fans.

Jin Bo looked at Yan Xiaoxi. "You done getting dressed?"
Yan Xiaoxi had already finished dressing. She looked at Jin Bo, at a loss for words.
Jin Bo, "Come here."
Yan Xiaoxi walked over and sat in Jin Bo’s arms like a little lady. "This isn’t my fault. It has to be you who provoked him."
Jin Bo looked at her. "Sit properly."
Yan Xiaoxi straightened up.
Jin Bo, "Look at me."
Yan Xiaoxi looked at him.
Jin Bo, "Eyes full of adoration."
Yan Xiaoxi, "..."
Could he be any more narcissistic?
But if she wanted to be with him in the future, then today’s mess had to be cleaned up.
She’d been a reporter for so many years and had seen this kind of crisis PR countless times, but now that she was in it herself, her mind had gone completely blank.
Jin Bo took a photo, then took her hand and set it on his suit pants, snapped another picture, and sent them to Fang Zheng.
Anyway, after seeing them he felt all kinds of unwell. It wasn’t even Valentine’s Day—what kind of dog-food pics was he posting!
But—
Thinking that the mayor’s wife had actually been coveted, he felt indignant on top of it.
After sending the two photos, he mulled it over for a long time and then posted a Weibo: "Shh (emoji), secretly swiped two pics off your Mayor Hubby’s phone for you, to shatter your fantasies. Extra, extra, this public heartthrob is taken. Honestly, I’ve always wanted to tell you guys, but I was scared of getting fired, so I’ve been holding it in, bottling it up—so hard! Finally I can breathe. If this Weibo gets deleted in a few hours, I might not be able to post any more pics of His Excellency the Mayor for you in the future, so remember to beg for mercy on my behalf.
