Chapter 121 Demanding an Answer

Chapter 121 I Must Get an Answer

He suddenly grabbed Wen Jinye's hand, feeling the stiffness coursing through her fingertips.

Fu Yanjing's dark eyes were cold and sharp. "Wen Jinye, do you hate me now?"

"I..." Wen Jin was speechless for a moment, because she didn't know what kind of existence Fu Yanjing was in her heart now.

“A good ex should be like death... should fade from each other’s lives. Fu Yanjing, we have had too many entanglements that should not have happened. It’s not a matter of whether I hate you or not.”

Fu Yanjing, for some unknown reason, became stubborn and pulled Wen Jin even closer to him.

Even though they were so close, I couldn't see the slightest hint of weakness in her clear, gentle eyes.

Beneath her trembling eyelashes, it seemed there was only the awkwardness and forbearance she felt when facing him.

"What if I absolutely need an answer?"

Wen Jin slowly pried his hands open.

Fu Yanjing finally saw the change in Wen Jinye's emotions; the redness at the corners of her eyes was accompanied by a kind of resolute resistance.

Her voice suddenly turned frosty, "Yes, what you insist on doing will eventually come to fruition. But Fu Yanjing, I am not your tool for amusement, so stop treating me as you please."

His brow furrowed deeper as Wen Jinye spoke, and his voice deepened, "Do as you please?"

“Isn’t that right?” Wen Jin looked at him without flinching. “In the past, you never cared about my feelings.”

Those accustomed to holding high positions and issuing orders wouldn't quite understand this statement. Fu Yanjing let out a sigh of frustration, "When have I ever not cared about you—"

But he stopped halfway through his sentence.

Because what's right in front of him is that Wen Jin also wants to leave, but he goes crazy in the middle of the night and keeps stopping her.

The resentment surging in his chest was something Fu Yanjing couldn't ignore, no matter how hard he tried.

Fu Yanjing suddenly understood what he had done.

He lowered his head and chuckled to himself, a self-deprecating smile on his face.

He was originally—

I don't want her to leave.

I don't want to think about her; she's cold and distant.

"I'll have the driver take you."

Henderson Land's new product launch marks the first new product launched after Fu Yanjing took over and implemented sweeping reforms.

The publicity and design departments both attach great importance to this. In addition to holding a grand and intensive press conference, they also need to generate some buzz in the media before the new product is launched.

Fu Yanjing needs to give interviews in advance to discuss the performance of the new product, its target audience, and even its future plans, which can be considered as a publicity preview.

He is now a hot commodity in the Jiangbei economic circle, and with the added prestige of being the son of a Hong Kong tycoon, this new product has attracted much attention since its development, even though the Hong Kong headquarters did not get involved.

It's already halfway to success even before it goes public.

The assistant knocked on Fu Yanjing's office door. "Boss, here is a list of media outlets that are available and have the influence to generate buzz. Please take a look and make your selection. We will get in touch with them as soon as possible."

He didn't even look up from the mountain of documents. "Do you need to ask me about such a trivial matter? Or should I plan my own schedule for next month in detail?"

“No need for that. When you return to Hong Kong next month, I…” The assistant’s voice gradually faded away under Fu Yanjing’s chilly gaze.

It was only after a moment that I realized my boss's previous comment was sarcastic.

He's been in a bad mood lately, really bad.

The tense work environment made him, as the assistant, once again experience the feeling of serving a powerful figure like walking on thin ice.

Damn it, who would have thought he was just a clueless kid fresh out of school?

The assistant fell silent, then rolled the document into a tube, looking rather annoyed. "Boss, I'll go and contact the media right away."

Which company is it?

The assistant said, "The editor-in-chief of Mingsheng's program has invited us many times. Their editor-in-chief has a good influence in the industry, so I think we can cooperate."

Fu Yanjing twirled the pen between his fingers, his voice low and deep, "Anything else?"

The assistant blinked.

No, should there be another one?

Seeing that Fu Yanjing's pen-twirling motion gradually stopped, the assistant finally had a sudden realization.

He asked tentatively, "The video of Mingjing's interview with you last time was very well received, and it even generated a lot of discussion online. What do you think...?"

"You can arrange it as you see fit."

There was no rejection, no rebuttal, no impatience.

This is another way of saying the boss readily accepts.

However, objectively speaking, Mingjing is indeed a good choice. The reporter who interviewed the boss last time had a very professional perspective, and it was obvious that he had done his homework in private.

Without giving it much thought, the assistant said in a businesslike manner, "Then I'll contact reporter Wen, whom we've worked with before, right away and have her come over this afternoon to discuss product details with the marketing and R&D departments."

Fu Yanjing's phone rang; it was a notification from an app.

Title: [Celebrating Qixi Festival, Embracing the Present Moment.]

He tapped the table with his fingertip. "Connect with me."

Assistant: "Huh?"

Fu Yanjing gave him a cold look. "Are you deaf?"

"I'll arrange it right away." The assistant lowered his head, his face filled with doubt.

He didn't fail to hear clearly, but rather he didn't understand.

Isn't it the boss who hates being bogged down in these kinds of trivial matters the most?

Jiangbei TV Station.

Wen Jin was also called to Director Wang's office.

"The interview for Henderson's new product launch has fallen to us. This is a lucrative job. Go and connect with the people from Henderson this afternoon."

Upon hearing the name Hengji, Wen Jin's brow twitched slightly. "Okay."

Director Wang took a sip of water and then said, "Bring Lin Zhiying along."

Prior to this, Wen Jin had also received a text message from Fu Yanjing's assistant. Although the message was brief, Wen Jin was certain that the other party did not intend to require two reporters to follow up at the same time.

She and Lin Zhiying were incompatible according to their birth charts, and Wen Jin also felt unlucky whenever she saw Lin Zhiying. "Why?"

"What do you mean 'why'? What if you mess up such a big project all by yourself? Can you bear the consequences? The two of you can help each other out." Director Wang glared, using both kindness and threats. "Besides, Tang Man definitely won't be back anytime soon, and the team leader position is still vacant. If you do this well, the position is yours for the taking. Don't you have even this much tolerance?"

He put it nicely.

By forcing Lin Zhiying onto the team under the guise of a partner, Wen Jinye was clearly testing Hengji's attitude, given Wang's track record.

Whenever there was any ambiguity on the other side, Lin Zhiying would replace Wen Jin with her.

Wen Jin also said coldly, "If you don't believe in my abilities, you can arrange a partner for me, but if it's Lin Zhiying, then I won't accept it."

Director Wang felt his authority had been challenged, and his temper flared up immediately.

"Wen Jinye, do you think the production team can't function without you? Don't think that just because you have a few breakout interviews you can expect us to cater to you! Since you're unwilling, then you don't need to go on this interview! I'll arrange for Lin Zhiying to do it herself!"

Wen Jin showed no hesitation, saying, "Please go ahead."

She pushed open the door to Director Wang's office and met the furtive glances of several colleagues lurking at the doorway.

They probably didn't expect that even though they were arguing so fiercely in the office, Wen Jin would still be able to come out so quickly.

Several colleagues instantly looked embarrassed.

Xiao Yin was somewhat unwilling, "Sister Jinye, are you just going to give up on the Hengji interview like this? Although the interviewee isn't President Fu, with Hengji backing us, we don't have to worry about not getting attention. How can you be so willing to give it to Lin Zhiying?"

"Besides, if you offend Fatty Wang, he'll make things difficult for you again."

Wen Jin also said calmly, "Who said I was going to give Lin Zhiying a bargain?"
