Chapter 62 Leaving Tongcheng

His words stumped me and I didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing that I was silent, he continued: "Your leaving is just to get yourself out of it, and it won't change the company's situation. The company won't fire you, nor will it let you leave."

Perhaps seeing my confusion, Jiang Yichen said as a matter of course: "If you leave, who will compensate for the losses?"

It turns out it was because of money.

I thought he just couldn't bear to do it.

It seems I was overthinking it.

Jiang Yichen wouldn't let me resign, so I had no choice but to continue working in the company.

I thought maybe he was afraid that I would run away, after all, he was also my biggest creditor.

After leaving his office, I felt like the burden on my shoulders had become heavier.

I was in a daze during the live broadcast in the afternoon. I finally made it to the end of get off work, but as soon as I walked out of the company gate, I was stopped by a group of people.

White lights flashed, and reporters' microphones were poked in front of me.

Before I could react, a group of reporters chased me with questions.

"Gu Mo, Jiang Yichen's live broadcast company has always been stable, but now it has almost collapsed completely due to your own efforts. Are you intentionally seeking revenge on Jiang Yichen?"

Who called this reporter?

Suddenly, I felt dizzy.

"What do you think of the comments about you on the Internet? Are you really seeking revenge against Jiang Yichen?"

"Gu Mo, do you feel that Jiang Yichen has become so successful since the Gu family fell, and you are unwilling to accept this, so you did this?"

All kinds of questions were thrown at me and I was at a loss.

This...isn't this all nonsense?

But I know it's useless to explain, they won't believe it.

So he pushed the microphone away and refused, "Sorry, I'm not in a position to answer."

After saying that, I tried to squeeze out of the crowd.

Unfortunately, this group of reporters didn't give me any chance and kept surrounding me.

Amid the shoving and pushing of a group of people, I fell backwards and directly to the ground.

But no one around me wanted to help me. They just held the camera and kept filming my embarrassed look.

I reached out my hands in embarrassment and subconsciously covered my face.

Just then, Song Le appeared in time.

He squeezed out from a group of reporters and hurriedly helped me up from the ground.

Seeing that they were still filming, Song Le scolded them with a cold face, "The person has fallen down, can't you see? Why are you still filming?"

While scolding the reporter, he did not forget to protect me behind him.

I felt a little touched.

It seems that Song Le has always treated me so sincerely since I fell into poverty.

Seeing Song Le standing up for me, the reporters seemed to have found something to talk about. They pointed the camera at him and asked, "Song Le, you are so protective of Gu Mo, aren't you afraid of affecting the Song family?"

A group of reporters pointed their cameras at us.

But even so, Song Le had no intention of retreating. He blocked me even more tightly and tried his best to defend me: "It was not Gu Mo's original intention for things to turn out like this. I hope you won't make trouble for her because of some unfounded things."

Song Le's voice was loud and clear, and he was extremely firm even when facing a group of people.

After getting his answer, the group of reporters became even more arrogant and kept provoking Song Le, trying to make him turn his attention to me.

"But now everyone knows that it was Gu Mo's incident that caused the live broadcast company to become like this. Shouldn't she bear the main responsibility?"

"You are so protective of Gu Mo, could it be that you are involved in this matter? Or was this your original plan?"

Song Le still defended: "From the beginning to the end, I believe that Gu Mo did not do anything intentional, and I have never participated in this matter. I hope that you media reporters will not deliberately divert the spearhead."

Seeing that Song Le stood so firmly on my side, the reporter's questions became more pointed.

"You chose to protect Gu Mo at this time. Have you considered the situation of the Song family?"

"In your heart, is Gu Mo more important than the Song family?"

Song Le said without hesitation: "The Song family will take care of it, so don't bother others to worry about it."

But the reporter was not going to give up and continued to ask pointed questions: "It is said that Song's project was snatched away by someone before? Is this true?"

After the reporter reminded me, I remembered that it was Jiang Yichen who did it.

Seeing Song Le defending me so much at this time, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

These reporters are never-ending, and there is no point in continuing to bother with them.

I tugged at his clothes from behind, wanting him to leave with me.

Noticing my movements, Song Le decisively grabbed my hand and broke through the encirclement of the group of reporters.

Song Le sent me directly back home.

When I got home, I saw my mother looking anxious. They must have seen the public opinion online.

"Momo, are you okay? Did they bully you?"

Not wanting to worry my parents, I forced a smile and comforted them: "Mom and Dad, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

But even so, my mother still tentatively suggested: "The online public opinion is too big now, why don't we leave Tongcheng and live somewhere else."

I know my mother is thinking about me, but I don't want to leave just like that.

I shook my head: "Mom, I won't leave Tongcheng, I want to stay here, I haven't done anything wrong, why should I leave?"

After all, the Gu family was once a wealthy family, how could they be suppressed so easily?

Stand up from where you fell!

Perhaps she had expected me to make such a decision. My mother showed a little regret on her face, but she couldn't help but persuade me: "Momo, I didn't say you did anything wrong, but in this situation, leaving might be a better choice."

I held her hand and said more firmly, "I'm not leaving."

If I leave, Jiang Yichen will definitely look down on me, and I don't want him to look down on me.

What's more, the truth behind the bankruptcy has not been revealed yet.

If I leave, this matter will be even more difficult to investigate.

My mother sighed: "Then you must be careful."

I nodded heavily and assured her, "Don't worry, Mom. I won't fall into someone else's trap like this again."

My mother held me in her arms and said gently, "It doesn't matter. No matter what happens, our family will always be together."

I buried my head in my mother's shoulders and neck, and my eyes couldn't help feeling a little sore.

Fortunately, I am not alone, and fortunately I have my family to support me.

The next day, I went to the company.

I was just about to start the live broadcast when Lao Mo asked me for help.

He handed me a stack of reports and asked me to submit them to the Finance Department.

I couldn't help but hesitate, as the company's finance department was on the same floor as Jiang Yichen's office.

I didn't want to meet Jiang Yichen, so I didn't agree to it.

Lao Mo asked me again and again, and thinking that he had helped me a lot in the company, I simply agreed.

I took the report to the Finance Department.

Fortunately, the journey was very smooth and there was no sign of Jiang Yichen.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When I was about to go back to the live broadcast, when I passed by the door of Jiang Yichen's office, I accidentally saw that the door was ajar.

I was just about to leave when a voice suddenly came from inside.

As if hearing my name, I subconsciously stopped and quietly moved closer, trying to hear the conversation inside...
