351: A Filial Woman

On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Jiang, who was woken up late at night, was obviously angry with Zheng Wei'er:

"Is this Mr. Zheng's decision?"

"No, it was my decision."

Zheng Weier hung up the phone after saying that.

She knew that Mrs. Jiang would definitely be unhappy, and she also knew that her decision would make the Zheng family unhappy...but so what? Zheng Weier looked out the office window. The South City was still brightly lit late at night. She picked up her phone and called Jiang Zhiyan again.

No one answered the first time.

The second time, the call was connected.

"Miss Zheng—"

There was dissatisfaction in Jiang Zhiyan's tone, but Zheng Weier pretended not to hear it. She asked Jiang Zhiyan seriously, "When will the company give me a raise?"

Jiang Zhiyan was stuck.

“…Are you short of money?!”

Jiang Zhiyan knew very well why Zheng Weiler worked at Huahu.

Why would Zheng Weiler care about whether her salary increases or not?

Zheng Weiler didn’t care before, but she cares a lot now. Her decision to act without authorization can easily anger her family. If the Zheng family cuts off her money, her salary from Huahu will become important.

"Boss Jiang, this is the promise you made to me. Don't you want to keep it?"

Zheng Weiler was obsessed with the news of a salary increase, while Jiang Zhiyan just wanted to sleep. In the end, he agreed to give Zheng Weiler a salary increase next month.

Zheng Weiler was finally satisfied.

…

Wen Yiyi was very dissatisfied.

Although Wen Yiyi became popular as expected, Xu Yao was not affected at all.

Wen Yiyi's most popular account was blocked, and the traffic she attracted could not be monetized, but it helped Xu Yao's live broadcast room to monetize.

Xu Yao’s live streaming sales were already very profitable, and with the profit share from the short dramas on “Dream Making”, it was said that Xu Yao called the creditors together again the next day to repay the debt for the second time.

The first time, Xu Yao paid back 60 million.

The second time, Xu Yao paid back 90 million.

At this point, Xu Qinghua still had 150 million yuan of foreign debt that had not been repaid during his lifetime, and Xu Yao's personal debt was 17 million yuan.

Lin Meixian learned from Yu Qin about Xu Yao's debt repayment, and found that the bank card she gave to Xu Yao had never been used. Lin Meixian simply transferred the money in the card and personally returned it to Wang Kui and others.

With the help of Lin Meixian, Xu Yao paid off her personal debt of 17 million.

Somehow, the news that Xu Yao paid off her deceased father's debts leaked out, making her a hot topic again.

Some people think that it is too easy for internet celebrities like Xu Yao to make money, as they can come up with more than 100 million yuan to pay off debts in such a short time.

More people think that Xu Yao's words and actions are consistent.

That was a debt her father owed during his lifetime. His family went bankrupt and left her no inheritance. If she didn't inherit the inheritance, legally she didn't have to pay off the debt.

But she still paid it back.

It is inappropriate to criticize Xu Yao for making too much money at this time. If she couldn't make so much money, how miserable would the creditors who borrowed money from her father when he was alive be!

The public opinion online was overwhelmingly positive about Xu Yao, and netizens were no longer focused on Wen Yiyi's revelations in her essay.

Xu Yao herself was confused.

“How did the marketing account know that I paid back the money?”

The marketing account not only knew that she had asked her creditors to pay back the money, but also knew the specific amount. Xu Yao felt something was wrong.

First, they asked Hua Bin, who protested, "How do I know how much you've paid back? I only know your earnings from the studio, and the share of 'Dream Maker' doesn't come from me! Even if I wanted to hire some online influencers to praise you, I couldn't reveal such detailed data!"

Hua Bin really couldn't figure out Xu Yao's true family background.

But if it wasn’t Hua Bin, who else could it be?

Xu Yao called the creditors one by one, and everyone said that they had never contacted the marketing account.

"We don't understand your self-media, and we're not sure if telling others will benefit you. How could we possibly leak information to that marketing account?"

"Niece, does this have a big impact on you?"

Several uncles spoke sincerely, but they would not make the decision for Xu Yao.

If there is anyone in this world who will not harm Xu Yao's career, the creditors must be on the list of people Xu Yao can trust.

Xu Yao’s career has been damaged, who will pay back the remaining 100 million?

"Don't you still trust us?"

Wang Kui frowned: "Next time we meet, let's not meet in a teahouse outside. I will invite them all to my house."

After Wang Kui said this, Xu Yao immediately turned her suspicion to: Could it be that a waiter happened to hear her conversation with her creditors and sold the news to a marketing account?

This is the only explanation that makes sense at the moment.

Xu Yao apologized to Wang Kui and others, saying that the news actually had a positive impact on her, but she was first targeted by other internet celebrities and then had the news distorted by Wen Yiyi, so she was inevitably sensitive and was afraid that one of her rivals was trying to trick her again.

"If there is any follow-up, I am willing to accept an interview to prove it to you."

Wang Kui patted his chest and assured her, and Xu Yao's mood also became lighter: "It's okay, I confirmed this matter just to be prepared in advance. If someone really wants to trick me, I'm not afraid!"

Wang Kui chatted with Xu Yao for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

What Xu Yao didn't know was that Gu Jun was in Wang Kui's office at that moment.

Wang Kui frowned and looked at Gu Jun: "Why don't you discuss it with Xu Yao before you find a marketing account to release the news? If she knew it was you who was leaking the news, she wouldn't be so suspicious!"

Wang Kui did not lie. He did not sell the information to the marketing account. He just told Gu Jun about it.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jun immediately sent the message to the marketing account.

Wang Kui was not very satisfied with Gu Jun's approach.

Although this incident had a positive impact on Xu Yao, Gu Jun's approach was too arbitrary! From the small details, it's no wonder Xu Yao divorced Gu Jun. Even Wang Kui wouldn't want to marry his daughter to someone like Gu Jun.

"Yaoyao won't agree with me leaking information to a marketing account."

Gu Jun explained softly, "Right now, netizens are praising her for paying off her father's debts. Once they calm down, they'll be able to think of more... It's just 300 million in foreign debt, and Xu Yao and I have only repaid half of it after such a long time since our divorce. This speed of making money is enviable to ordinary people, but it's not as fast as other top internet celebrities. Other top internet celebrities can easily evade taxes and make hundreds of millions, but she is still worrying about her late father's 300 million in foreign debt. She hasn't bought a mansion or spent lavishly. This is all the money she has earned."

What makes Xu Yao’s money-making speed slower than other top internet celebrities?

This is the bottom line that Xu Yao has always adhered to.

The products she selects in her live broadcast room are affordable and of high quality, so her commission is definitely not as high as that of other internet celebrities.

If you think about it more deeply, the fact that "Gu Jun's ex-wife" had to sell goods to pay off her debts shows that she really did not make any money from her marriage with Gu Jun.

Xu Yao doesn't want to be anyone's accessory, so how can Gu Jun not fulfill her wish?

The personalities of other internet celebrities may be acting, but Yaoyao’s character is truly consistent, and Gu Jun wants everyone to see it!
