NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30
Chapter 30: The Female Lead Discovers Another Use for the Diary:
So, even if Ye Chen really knew who was behind the company’s financial problems, Xiao Mingyue wouldn’t let him use this as an excuse to get close to her.
As for the truth about the company’s financial issues, she would investigate it herself.
But suddenly, like a flash of lightning, a person’s image swiftly crossed Xiao Mingyue’s mind: Chen Lang!
If anyone besides Ye Chen knew who was behind this, it would definitely be Chen Lang!
He seemed to know everyone’s plot, so he must also know who the company’s traitor was!
Xiao Mingyue looked at her phone, hesitating. Should she try to politely ask Chen Lang?
But, she had always treated Chen Lang coldly.
Wouldn’t it be awkward to suddenly contact him?
More importantly, since his car accident, Chen Lang hadn’t tried to curry favor with her, not even saying a word!
The long silence between them made it difficult for Xiao Mingyue to put aside her pride and break the silence to contact Chen Lang.
Moreover, what should she call him?
Xiao Mingyue stared at her phone and was caught in a dilemma.
Actually, it wasn’t that Chen Lang refused to curry favor with her; he simply hadn’t thought about needing to!
Playing the villain reluctantly was already surrendering to the system. Why maintain the image when there was no plot to follow? It was like having to work after hours without being paid.
…
Xiao Mingyue spent the entire afternoon pondering how to approach Chen Lang.
At that moment, Chen Lang’s villain diary updated!
Right! The diary! If Chen Lang mentioned today’s plot and happened to reveal the company’s traitor, wouldn’t that solve the problem?!
Xiao Mingyue’s eyes lit up as she quickly opened the diary to read.
[Phew, I almost forgot to write today’s diary.]
[Got so engrossed in the game that I lost track of time]
[According to the plot, Ye Chen should be making progress with Cheng Jinjing and Tang Xiaofu these days]
[Oh right, today Ye Chen also has a plot related to Xiao Mingyue’s company]
[What was that plot again…]
Watching the live diary update on her phone, Xiao Mingyue held her breath. The truth seemed about to be revealed.
[Oh right, it’s the one where the protagonist helps Xiao Mingyue solve the company problem]
[It’s hilarious how the protagonist overhears Xiao Mingyue’s company secrets in a restaurant bathroom,]
[then helps Xiao Mingyue find the company’s traitor in a cool manner,]
[making Xiao Mingyue think Ye Chen is amazing, different from others!]
[She becomes starry-eyed, always seeking Ye Chen’s help in the future]
[Ugh, this clichéd plot makes me want to vomit,]
[but thankfully, it has nothing to do with me!]
The diary stopped updating at this point. Xiao Mingyue was seething!
“Get to the point, get to the point, get to the point!”
Couldn’t he be more specific in his diary? Who was the traitor? Get to the point!
Xiao Mingyue felt like her heart was being scratched by a cat.
The answer that had troubled her for days seemed within reach, just a few words away from Chen Lang, and then… nothing?
In frustration, she opened Chen Lang’s contact information, her finger hovering over the call button. Should she just call him directly?
Just as Xiao Mingyue was about to take a chance and dial his number, the diary was updated again.
[I just remembered, this plot is also a setup for another female lead]
[It’s meant to introduce this female lead]
[A distant cousin in Xiao Mingyue’s company was bribed, named Xiao something Cheng, a minor character whose name I can’t remember.]
[He was instructed by this female lead to destroy Xiao Mingyue’s company]
[This female lead is also from one of the four big families in Nanjing, but she appears later in the novel]
[The novel described her and Xiao Mingyue as lifelong rivals, always competing since childhood]
[Why do beautiful women make life difficult for each other? I don’t get it]
[It’s not a big deal since this female lead has little to do with my villain role]
[Let them fight their battles; I prefer my VR games.]
The diary stopped updating here. Xiao Mingyue barely restrained herself from cheering. She even wanted to kiss her phone!
Of course, Chen Lang knew everything. One of the four big families. Her lifelong rival.
Even though Chen Lang didn’t mention the name, Xiao Mingyue already guessed who was behind it.
Why do beautiful women make life difficult for each other? Who needed a reason?
There was indeed a woman who had competed with her since childhood. From a similarly big family, equally outstanding, and just as beautiful…
Xiao Mingyue adjusted her posture and, after a deep breath, her gaze turned cold.
Now that she knew who the insider was, it was time to act.
The secretary quickly arrived after receiving the notice.
“Investigate all financial transactions of Xiao Mingcheng’s accounts and see who he has been in contact with recently!”
“Yes, CEO Xiao!”
Shortly after, the secretary returned, looking astonished.
“CEO Xiao, Xiao Mingcheng recently transferred a sum of money to an overseas account. The amount matches the financial gap in our company!”
Xiao Mingyue’s face turned cold. It was indeed him!
