Chapter 196 - Bad Acting, Thick Skin

There was no stopping it!

The results were unstoppable!

Everyone in the room looked as if they'd swallowed a fly.

Particularly the representative from the PR Department as she read aloud the Weibo post from "Two Under One Roof." Suddenly ——

"What the hell happened?"

"Didn't you say top 1% of hackers? He couldn't even take one attack?!"

"Do you think he's going to throw us under the bus..."

This was a shared concern.

Seeing everyone's ugly face, the deputy director sneered. She felt as if everything she'd given to Muyao TV had gone to feed dogs at that instant.

The director: "What are you panicking for? Whoever hired him should be the one responsible. What does he have to do with the rest of us? And what does he have to do with our TV network?!"

The PR representative's face instantly changed.

She realized...she had been thrown under the bus!

When the other members of the executive team heard this, they all let out a sigh of relief. Not only did nobody try to comfort her, they even seemed to be gloating.

It was the look of people who had just found a scapegoat.

The PR representative felt ashamed, finally understanding the cruelty of her workplace.

"Dang dang, our pickled veggies are done!" Yin Jiangxue said to the camera with a beaming smile, her tone full of accomplishment.

The pickle brine was mixed with peppercorn, star anise, bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger, rock sugar and other spices that were cooled before mixing with small chilies and sorghum wine. Afterwards, the vegetables were placed in to soak it up.

After sealing the mouth of the pickle jar with water, they would patiently wait for the deliciousness to marinate with time.

Xiang Yi smiled gently next to her. "Mentor Yin, if you really like it, you can take a few jars home."

"I'll take your word for it!" Yin Jiangxue was more and more satisfied as she looked at Xiang Yi. The girl had a great temper, was patient, and spoke so sweetly! She was so likable!

Yin Jiangxue hated cooking the most, but today she had been happy throughout the entire pickling process.

"What are you stewing in the kitchen? I smell some herbs brewing."

"It's...a medicinal blend for Dr.Xiang." Xiang Yi bit her lip. The girl who had been beaming like a sunflower suddenly seemed to lose her light, unable to overcome the sullen energy that had taken over her.

Yin Jiangxue didn't know of her relationship to Xiang Li but felt very sorry for the girl. She patted the girl's head pitifully. "Don't be down, you look the prettiest when you smile."

The livestream comments began to fill up with displeased netizens:

——[She's so fake what's she pretending to be now. Her acting skills are so bad, but her skin is thick]

——[Please no, our PhD gege doesn't dare drink your medicine]

——[Who's going to bear the responsibility if something happens to him? TCM is unreliable to begin with, not to mention Dr. X and that Xiang b*tch have previous grievances]

——[Maybe she wants something to happen to Dr. Xiang, so when the ambulance comes, she could make the doctor attend to her skin wounds from a year ago first~]

As they bickered, Shi Sui and the others returned with a basket full of fish.

Xiang Yi's eyes met her brothers but shied away immediately. She didn't dare look at him at all.

Xiang Li twisted his eyebrows. Although he was well-versed in medical knowledge, he really couldn't guess what was happening inside a girl's heart.

Especially his sister's.

She was obviously back, so why was she hiding from him?

"Hubby, you've caught such a big fish! Is this a carp or a crucian..." Yin Jiangxue pointed at the fish basket and asked. Her gaze shifted to a few blurry figures and exclaimed in surprise. "Who are they? They can't be thieves, right??"
