The rumors came and went quickly. After the joint statement was issued, online public opinion completely sided with Jiang Xia and Lin Yanwan.

It's probably because these two are so outstanding that the whole internet now approves of their marriage. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them a perfect couple, and some people even urge them to get married in Lin Yanwan's videos.

However, many people still want to see what Jiang Xia looks like, but apart from the few candid photos that were previously leaked, there isn't a single one showing his face.

Later, it was his high school classmates from Wan'er Middle School who released some graduation photos from last year. Many netizens discovered that even in a crowd, President Jiang's looks stood out from the crowd, and he was incredibly handsome.

In addition, he is young and promising, a true self-made man, so it's no wonder that Lin Yanwan fell in love with him.

Since her identity was exposed, Jiang Xia has been receiving many messages from "old classmates" every day. The topics are nothing more than flattery and empty praise. Then they think about whether President Jiang could help her out of consideration for their old friendship if she can't find a job after graduating from university.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Xia wouldn't make any definitive statements, only saying things like, "You can come to the company for an interview."

Putting aside everything else, with the rapid development of D-site, there will be a serious shortage of video review positions. If it is a 24-hour three-shift work mechanism, three people will be needed for just one position. As long as my old classmate is willing, he/she can come at any time.

Of course, if someone is capable enough, he wouldn't mind assigning them to a key position.

Lin Yanwan gently massaged Jiang Xia's shoulders. She really hadn't expected that Jiang Xia's promise to clarify would result in such a commotion. He was usually low-key, but for her sake, he resolutely chose to expose himself, which deeply moved her.

“Now you’re just like me, completely exposed to the public eye,” she whispered.

"Baby, nothing stays hidden forever. This day was bound to come sooner or later; it's just coming earlier now." Jiang Xia closed his eyes slightly, enjoying his wife's massage.

He has a good mindset. Although the exposure will bring some trouble to his life, his D-site has ushered in a huge wave of traffic. Many individual content creators have joined, and all kinds of content have gradually become richer. A basic ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) cultural ecosystem is gradually taking shape.

"That's true, but being followed all the time and having your personal life exposed is still very troublesome," Lin Yanwan said with slight concern.

"Hmm, that is indeed..."

The thought of not being able to open the curtains freely in the future, and what if someone across the street is taking pictures of me and my wife while we're making love in the living room? That would be hilarious.

He glanced subconsciously at the residential building across the street. It seemed like it was time to move. Whether it was a high-rise or a villa, at least his view would be unobstructed.

As for the fact that the two are living together, it will definitely be used by some people to create hype, but after all, the two are already engaged and are practically husband and wife, so it is reasonable.

Later that evening, both sets of parents called to inquire about the situation and told the young couple to take good care of themselves while they were away, especially in their personal lives, and not to give others any reason to do anything wrong.

The two agreed.

◇

In May, cicadas chirped, the climate in the capital had become quite warm, and the roses in the school were in full bloom.

Jiang Xia took advantage of some free time to go to a driving school with Su Qing. Interestingly, the owner of the driving school was Su Qing's uncle.

So, Jiang Xia didn't even pay the registration fee. After he skillfully drove the training car around the course and the road, he told him not to worry about the training hours and that he could just go directly to the test.

Jiang Xia readily agreed. According to the driving test rules, she could get her driver's license in about a month. Then she could buy a car worth over 100,000 yuan, which would make commuting between school and work much more convenient.

In mid-month, while Jiang Xia was still in class, Li Weiya suddenly sent him a text message with good news: Zhou Lu, the former deputy editor-in-chief of Chongqing TV, had arrived at the company.

Jiang Xia smiled faintly; it was much later than he had expected.

After class, he went to the company immediately and saw Zhou Lu and Li Weiya chatting happily in the office.

"Hey, Editor Zhou, what brings you here?" Jiang Xia pushed open the door, a smile on her face.

“President Jiang.” Zhou Lu stood up and asked with a calm smile, “Didn’t you ask me to come? I was deeply moved by what President Jiang said last time.”

Jiang Xia blinked, pretending not to understand.

"Ah Xia, Editor Zhou has now resigned from Chongqing TV Station."

Li Weiya poured him a cup of tea. She had been in frequent contact with Zhou Lu lately, and it could be said that she had made a lot of effort to bring her from Chongqing to Beijing.

"Aha, welcome, welcome! On behalf of everyone at D Station, I welcome Editor Zhou to the team." Jiang Xia dropped the pretense and laughed happily, "To be honest, I thought Editor Zhou would have arrived earlier."

Zhou Lu was helpless. She had hesitated for a long time before making the decision to leave the TV station.

After all, not everyone has the courage to give up a secure government job in a leadership position to work for a private company.

Since D-site launched in March, she has been following its development in May. The website's traffic has increased more than tenfold compared to its initial state, with an average of several million daily active users and an average daily usage time of 56 minutes. These staggering figures have far surpassed the traffic of Chongqing TV.

Think about it, this is only two months after D-site was launched. In a few years, when computers and smartphones become widely available as Mr. Jiang mentioned, this traffic will probably increase by dozens of times.

Because Zhou Lu had worked in television, she understood what a bright future D Station would have, and that once it went public, its market value could reach hundreds of billions.

Compared to this, what is Chongqing TV Station? Even if she spends another ten or twenty years to become the station director, it's still far inferior.

Capital development can potentially complete a magnificent transformation in just a few years.

A concrete example is the young man in front of us. Last summer, Jiang Xia was a high school graduate who had to be extremely respectful to himself. In just a short time, he has become the boss of two companies with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Moreover, he is too young and has decades of career growth ahead of him. Under the leadership of someone like him, the company will only grow bigger and bigger, eventually becoming a behemoth spanning multiple fields.

Zhou Lu understood this point, which is why she made the difficult decision to leave the TV station.

Zhou Lu took a deep breath, looked into Jiang Xia's eyes, and said very sincerely, "President Jiang, I'm now entrusting the rest of my life to you."

Jiang Xia nodded and chuckled, "I am honored that Editor Zhou thinks so highly of me, so I have no choice but to let Editor Zhou take on the position of Chief Operating Officer of D Station."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lu's eyes widened.
