Domination of the Aristocratic Dynasty After a Body Swap with the CEO

Chapter 5: Black Stuff



Chapter 5

Song JinXing interrupted Zhong Ruanxing who was eagerly trying to tell him about them, "I don't need it."

Zhong Ruanxing was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Song JinXing said, "I don't need to know about them." His eyes were very cold, "No matter if it's my current identity or when I switch back in the future, I won't need to."

Zhong Ruanxing didn't quite understand, "But they are your family..."

Song JinXing looked at her expressionlessly, her eyes that were always smiling like peach blossoms now seemed like frost that had been frozen for thousands of years. Zhong Ruanxing subconsciously closed her mouth.

Damn! She was actually frightened by her own face!

Song JinXing opened a document on his phone, "Here is the basic information, there is some company information in it, remember it and don't make mistakes. From now on, any documents that need your signature and decision meetings, you have to ask me first."

Zhong Ruanxing saw that the document was created two hours ago. It looked like he had already prepared for not being able to switch back for a while.

Song JinXing continued, "Of course, I will also complete your work for you. Please rest assured, I won't cause trouble using your body. Regarding your work, if you have any requests, please let me know and I will do my best."

Zhong Ruanxing scratched her head, "I don't really have any requests, I'm actually quite muddled, not much work."

Song JinXing: "?"

Zhong Ruanxing was a little annoyed, "What's with that expression?!"

Song JinXing said sincerely, "You are very beautiful, I didn't expect you to not be famous."

Zhong Ruanxing: "?"

Sincerity really was the killer move.

She was no longer annoyed, just a little helpless, "I guess the entertainment industry nowadays doesn't like my style. Haven't you noticed the popular ones are all sweet and innocent first love girls?" She held up one finger and pointed at Song JinXing's now proud and erect chest, "For someone like me, without even doing anything, I've already been slut shamed."

Song JinXing's face darkened, "What nonsense!"

Zhong Ruanxing sighed, "Do you know I'm a celebrity? Did you search for me online?"

Song JinXing shook his head.

Zhong Ruanxing lowered her head to type her name into the webpage. Seeing the news headlines that popped up, she laughed mockingly, "Look."

Song JinXing took her phone. The first link was [Zhong Ruanxing's Titillating Photo Collection]. The rest were not positive news either, [Provocative Goddess with Blazing Body, Click to See Zhong Ruanxing's Explosive Videos], [Sexy Goddess Zhong Ruanxing Caught in Sex Scandal, Slept with 10 Men for Resources?]...

There was even a forum post asking [What are the titles of the porn Zhong Ruanxing filmed? Why can't I find them?]

1st floor: I want to know too!

2nd floor: Good people will be safe, I'll share if I find the resources.

3rd floor: Zhong Ruanxing has never filmed porn, she is a professional graduate, speechless.

...

The more Song JinXing read, the darker his face became. Those words were unbearable for someone as well-bred as him. When he turned to look at Zhong Ruanxing, she didn't seem hurt by it at all, just a little melancholy, "It seems like in their eyes, if you look like me, you must have been coerced into sex, you must have sold your body for resources."

Not only did outsiders think this way, insiders thought the same. Every time at dinner parties, those higher ups looked at her ambiguously, thinking she would agree when they made overtures. So when she firmly rejected them, they would be furious and continue suppressing her, cutting jobs, spreading rumors, unable to shake off her reputation as a seductress after so many years.

No directors were willing to hire an actress with such a negative reputation, no fans would like an idol like this either.

Gradually, she was forgotten.

Getting a few supporting roles a year, going on some unknown small variety shows as a one-time guest, participating in some unheard of talk shows, that was how her days passed.

How many still remembered she was a professional graduate?

Song JinXing was not good at comforting people. After being silent for a while, he just said, "You are outstanding, don't care about other people's judgements."

Because she was outstanding enough for competitors to be wary of her, therefore they resorted to such despicable means as drugging to completely ruin her.

Zhong Ruanxing said loudly, "Of course I'm outstanding!" She stuck out her chest and lifted her chin, her gaze was bright, "I really like the body my parents gave me, I love myself too. I'm the most beautiful! Who cares about the rest?"

Song JinXing: "Cares. Who is the subject so it should be the singular form, the following verb should be third person singular."

Zhong Ruanxing: "?"

Help!!!

Perhaps her expression was too speechless, Song JinXing was inexplicably amused. This was the first time Zhong Ruanxing had seen him laugh since they met, it was fleeting like a meteor, leaving only a beautiful afterimage.

Zhong Ruanxing also started laughing, handing her phone over, "Alright, starting from now you're the big celebrity. First thing, let's identify the enemies. See these people? Remember their names and faces, in the future when you see them, use the look you just had to freeze them to death!"

After a night passed, the east was tinted fish belly white, and the morning wind blew open the sea's fragmented light.

Fu Ling yawned as he came over from the side building. Seeing two figures still sitting on the sofa talking, he was so shocked he almost tripped. No way? Boss really chatted with her the whole night?

Heartbroken!

The first ray of sunlight caressed the sea and shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The information exchange was finally over. Zhong Ruanxing lazily stretched, feeling like she couldn't keep her eyes open from exhaustion. Meanwhile, Song JinXing sitting opposite still had a proper posture and alert gaze.

She asked puzzledly, "Aren't you tired?"

Song JinXing said, "Used to it."

Zhong Ruanxing was horrified, "No, you have to break this habit! You can't stay up using my body, it'll become ugly!"

Song JinXing hesitated for a bit. He had promised her to fulfill any of her requests, but working overnight had become normal for him. To fully control the huge Song corporation within half a year after returning to China, the time and effort he expended was beyond compare. To him, sleep was a luxury.

Now time was even more precious. Not only did he have to monitor the company operations, he also had to get familiar with Zhong Ruanxing's work. The only thing he could sacrifice was sleep time.

But he had promised to meet her requests. He could sacrifice his own health but not mess around with someone else's body. So after hesitating for a bit, he nodded, "Alright."

Zhong Ruanxing: "You have to sleep at least 8 hours everyday!"

Song JinXing said, "I promise you, but if the company has an urgent situation even if it's midnight, you have to tell me."

Zhong Ruanxing held out her palm, "It's a deal!"

Song JinXing placed his big hand over hers. Those large hands made her now delicate, slender fingers seem especially petite. He had never seen such a lively expression on his own face.

The phone resting on the coffee table suddenly rang.

Zhong Ruanxing's ringtone was set to the latest pop song, different from the default ringtone, easy to distinguish. She picked it up and saw the caller ID. A look of reluctance appeared on her face.

Song JinXing saw the name "Duan Mangyun".

This name came up frequently during their information exchange last night.

She had been good friends with Zhong Ruanxing since they debuted together. Over so many years, the two supported each other during hard times, encouraging each other. Their friendship belonged to two underdogs. But last night, the only two drinks Zhong Ruanxing had were brought to her by Duan Mangyun.

Even if suspicious, Zhong Ruanxing still held a thread of hope that the person who spiked her drink wasn't her.

But from what Song JinXing overheard of their conversation on the balcony, the person calling now to check up was the real culprit.

Song JinXing saw her turn pale. He took the phone, tone calm, "I remember her voice. I'll know if it's her after one sentence."

After speaking, he answered the call.
