However, many people were not praising the article because of its content, but because of that picture.
"I could lick that hand on the screen for a hundred years!"
"Damn! The reason I didn't choose the Songhua model originally was because of the design—I didn't think it matched my aesthetics. But after seeing this picture, I'm tempted again!"
"Hand fetish treat! That hand looks so good, and that watch looks so good."
"I used to think rose gold looked a bit tacky, but it looks so good now. I've already placed an order!"
"The hand and the watch complement each other perfectly. I was going to buy the new model from Shan Yu, but now I'm changing my mind."
"This article is introducing the women's model, but even though I'm a guy, I can buy the couple's edition shown in the picture, heh heh heh."
This article kept getting more and more likes. Unexpectedly, just because of one picture, people were walking into Songhua Technology stores and saying while showing the photo on their phones, "I want this model."
"Sorry, that model is out of stock, but we're rushing to get more. You can pre-order it though~"
After a week, the sales numbers came out, and Songhua Technology's sales were higher than Shan Yu Company's. The whole office at Songhua was cheering.
Even Song Luosheng didn't expect this.
The marketing manager came to him and said, "Boss, I suggest we invite the model from that picture over?"
Song Luosheng waved his hand dismissively. "No need. She won't agree."
Manager: ?
Song Luosheng: "I know the person whose hand is in that picture. She won't come out."
The manager was disappointed. "Okay then."
After leaving the office, the marketing manager suddenly realized—how did the boss know the person in the picture?
Over at Shan Yu Company's office, there was an air of silence. Although their sales were decent, this was the first time they had been outperformed by Songhua Technology.
"Boss, we've concluded the reason. Their success was mainly due to a picture in an article. The article was very well-written, but the picture was even more eye-catching."
As soon as Qi Yu saw the picture, he immediately recognized whose hand it was.
He waved to dismiss everyone, then called Song Luokui. "Was that article written by you?"
Song Luokui: "What?"
Qi Yu began reciting the article word for word. Song Luokui said, "...Stop, yes it was me. What's wrong?"
Qi Yu: "Nothing, I just wanted to compliment you on your great writing." Rather than the picture, he was more impressed by the descriptive writing in the article. Of course, it would be even better if she wrote for his company.
Song Luokui: "...Thank you for calling just to praise me. You must have recognized it was me who wrote it based on that picture, right?"
Qi Yu: "Mmhmm."
Song Luokui: "..." Looks like next time she can't show her hand, or they'll recognize her with their sharp eyes.
...
Song Luokui had just gotten off the bus and was about to cross the street to enter her school when a van suddenly stopped next to her and snatched her inside.
"Mmph..." Song Luokui smelled something strange and immediately passed out.
In her class, Xu Jiarong noticed that Song Luokui still hadn't arrived, so she thought maybe Song Luokui was taking the day off. But she sent her a message anyway, which went unanswered.
It was a large lecture class, so the professor didn't take attendance. As a result, the school didn't know Song Luokui was missing. Her roommates Wang Sisi and the others just assumed she had gone home.
Meanwhile, Song Luosheng was in a meeting when he received a call from an unknown number. He didn't answer, but soon after received a photo of Song Luokui tied up and lying on the floor.
Song Luosheng immediately stood up. The manager who had been presenting stopped abruptly, thinking he had said something wrong.
Song Luosheng called the number right away and it was answered. "Mr. Song, do you remember me?"
Song Luosheng clenched his fist tightly, the veins bulging. His face was grim but he tried to remain calm. He even hit record. "What do you want? Li Daqiang, don't you dare touch her!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha, does Mr. Song remember the day I begged you for something but you didn't even look at me?"
"What do I want? Of course I want Mr. Song dead!"
Then the call was abruptly hung up. Soon after, he received a message: "Give me one billion in cash within a day. No reporting to the police, or else... I'll enjoy your sister's tender skin, ha ha ha ha. Get the money ready and I'll tell you where to leave it."
Song Luosheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his eyes already reddening. "Meeting adjourned!"
Lin Xingyan asked, "What's wrong, boss?"
Song Luosheng: "Kuikui has been kidnapped by Li Daqiang. Call the police immediately!"
Lin Xingyan and Zhou Yuan were both shocked. "What?!"
Song Luosheng: "First, find out where Kuikui is being held captive right away. Zhou Yuan, get one billion in cash ready!"
Zhou Yuan: "On it."
Lin Xingyan: "Don't worry boss, I'll call my dad right now."
Song Luosheng also made a call, which Song Moqian quickly answered. "What's going on?"
Song Luosheng's voice was trembling. "Dad, Kuikui has been kidnapped."
There was some commotion on the other end before Song Moqian's angry yet fearful voice came through. "What?"
Song Luosheng quickly explained the situation. Song Moqian soon regained his composure. "Don't worry, dad will bring Kuikui back safe."
Song Luosheng: "Okay."
With one call, the entire city of Jing went on high alert.
When Chen Nan arrived at the company, he complained to Qi Yu, "I don't know what was going on today, but I saw a bunch of police mobilizing on my way here."
Qi Yu was checking up on a restaurant—he wanted to have dinner with Song Luokui.
A little while later, Ji Xiao called Qi Yu. "Boss, there's some news. Apparently the young Miss from the Song family was kidnapped this morning, and now the whole city is on lockdown."
The pen in Qi Yu's hand snapped in half as he gripped it tightly.
Chen Nan was startled. "B-Boss?"
Qi Yu stood up, his expression darkening. He made a call. "I want information on Song Luokui's situation in half an hour."
Chen Nan: "What happened to the Song family's sister?"
Qi Yu didn't respond. He grabbed his coat and stormed out.
When Song Luokui woke up, she realized a disgusting hand was touching her. She wanted to scream, but her mouth was taped shut—she couldn't make a sound.
However, the fear in her eyes delighted her captor. He patted Song Luokui's cheek. "Such tender skin." Then he tried to reach lower.
Song Luokui immediately struggled, and a voice rang out, "One-eyed, what are you doing! Don't mess with her!"
One-eyed turned back. "I know, I know, this Song family princess is really pretty though. I just wanted to..."
"We don't have the money yet. You can do whatever you want after that."
"Heh heh heh, you said it."
One-eyed leered at her before leaving with the other man.
Tears streamed down Song Luokui's face, but she took deep breaths to calm herself. From their conversation, it seemed their main goal was money. She was being held in an abandoned construction site.
Her hands and feet were bound, but Song Luokui twisted her body to sit up, recalling what her father had taught her long ago about escaping restraints.
After struggling for several minutes, she untied the ropes on her hands, then ripped the tape off her mouth and untied the bindings on her legs.
She ran to the window and looked out—it was two floors up. Jumping would likely break her legs. But then she noticed a drain pipe nearby.
Hearing voices outside, Song Luokui gritted her teeth, climbed onto the windowsill, grabbed the pipe and slid down. She fell to the ground hard, injuring her hands and feet, but she couldn't worry about that now. She immediately took off running into the woods.
Back on the second floor, One-eyed walked in. "Damn it! That little brat escaped!"
"Damn it, hurry up and chase her!"
Song Luokui kept running nonstop, stumbling and quickly getting back up to continue running. She only knew that if she were caught, her fate would certainly be miserable!
"Boom!" Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder in the sky, and in an instant, it started to pour.
Song Luokui suddenly cried out, "Ah!" tripping over something. She then tumbled down a slope, rolling for who knows how long, hitting her head on something, and suddenly passing out.
The place where she fainted was overgrown with dense bushes. The rain was heavy there, washing away her trail of escape. Li Daqiang and One-eyed passed by this spot without noticing her.
On the other side, Song Luosheng and Song Moqian obtained the location of Li Daqiang and the others, and both hurried over.
A helicopter appeared in the sky, while Li Daqiang and One-eyed couldn't find Song Luokui, and they also discovered the special forces' helicopter!
"Damn! What do we do now?"
Li Daqiang punched One-eyed, "You tell me what to do? How did she get away?"
One-eyed said, "How would I know that a little woman like her could break free of the ropes and escape! Now what do we do?"
Li Daqiang replied, "What can we do? Run!"
