Chapter 131: Is it to stay together or to possess?

An Yu sighed softly, "I have no evidence, and the company isn't backing me up. How can I clarify this?"

Wen Jin stood by the bed and turned her phone towards her, smiling gently and coaxing her like a child, "I'll support you~"

An Yu suddenly realized, "You recorded the whole thing on video!"

"I can't help it, I just love documenting you so much."

"But with our capabilities, we can't break through the information cocoon. The company will definitely do its best to protect He Jiayu, and with her own team managing things, the clarification video will definitely be suppressed. Besides, netizens are just following the gossip here and there, so they might not even be able to find the clarification video."

Wen Jin also said, "Then let's direct the fire at He Jiayu."

People enjoy reading negative entertainment news and are keen on gossiping about people whose public personas have collapsed.

An Yu blinked.

Wen Jin paused the video on her phone at a certain frame and handed it to An Yu:

"If I'm not mistaken, the person standing next to the horse should be one of He Jiayu's assistants."

"Holy crap!"

Listening to her calm analysis, An Yu was instantly revitalized: "I'm going to install a hidden camera on my body to record the whole time, to prevent troublemakers from framing me!"

*

Then Wen Jinye released that complete video, instantly turning the situation on the internet upside down.

He Jiayu's team did work very hard, and unsurprisingly, they managed to shift the blame for the horse being startled onto the assistant.

He Jiayu's studio posted a message on Weibo overnight.

[We apologize to everyone. Due to our assistant's unprofessional conduct, she petted the horse without permission because she liked it, which startled the horse and injured Ms. An. She has now been dismissed.]

Popular comments below:

[It seems like dogs resemble their owners.]

[Just touching it startled me, is it Iron Palm?]

[It's one thing to be unprofessional in acting, but to be a bad person is another.]

Looking back now, An Yu was absolutely right to scold you. Those few lines had to be replayed over ten times; you should probably learn to read first.

Because He Jiayu's team was indeed very capable, this incident was just a minor episode on the internet.

However, her public image has plummeted, while An Yu gained 70,000 to 80,000 followers overnight.

A group of netizens left comments asking to "borrow a mouth".

If I were half as good as her, I'd be able to criticize people, and I wouldn't have to put up with this awful attitude at work every day.

An Yu licked her lips and realized she had been poisoned.

I love this kind of sharp-tongued yet resilient beauty persona.

...

However, being approached by He Jiayu was something Wen Jin hadn't expected.

Wen Jin had just finished a meeting when she received He Jiayu's call.

At the end of the month, Director Wang arranged for Wen Jin to attend Hengji's new product launch event.

Looking at the unfamiliar phone number on the screen, which had no name on it, Wen Jin answered the call without much thought.

He Jiayu had nowhere to vent her anger.

Not only is the online controversy all pointing the finger at her, but Xu Xiangbai didn't even side with her this time.

He Jiayu attributed all of this to Wen Jinye.

"Wen Jinye, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you? You dare to go against me?"

Wen Jin calmly held her phone, saying, "Ms. He is capable of distorting the truth; I am merely a small fry compared to her."

On the other end of the phone, He Jiayu smashed a water glass on the table in anger. "You think you can challenge me just because you seduced A-Jing? I can crush you like an ant!! You bitch!"

Her voice was hysterical; she had completely lost her superstar composure and was no longer pretending.

The phone's reception was poor and somewhat harsh, so Wen Jin quietly moved it a little further away.

actually--

Based on her experiences from childhood, Wen Jin also asked herself honestly if she was cowardly.

They rarely dwell on things, preferring to settle disputes peacefully rather than create unnecessary trouble for themselves.

Because she has no parents and no one to rely on.

No one will lift themselves up at all costs.

She didn't want to cause trouble for the people around her.

Unless you touch her sore spot.

And An Yu happens to be the one she cares about the most.

"If Miss He really has a deep relationship with Mr. Fu, then she probably wouldn't care about me," Wen Jin said indifferently. "Besides, you suspect that my relationship with Mr. Fu is improper. Shouldn't he be the one to be disciplined first for this kind of thing?"

"Whether it's love or career, they only seek enemies in vain, treating everyone as their rivals."

"idiot."

"Wen Jinye, how dare you insult me?"

Wen Jin didn't back down at all, saying, "There are many more things I dare to do."

At the end of September, the autumn wind gradually turned bleak, the leaves turned yellow, and Wen Jin saw Fu Yanjing again.

It was at Henderson Land's new product launch event.

The press conference was attended by a large number of journalists, including Wen Jin, who was a reporter from Mingjing.

The venue was spacious, and almost every seat was filled with guests, partners, Henderson staff, and reporters.

The seats were neatly arranged on both sides, leaving a wide aisle in the middle, with a red carpet laid out, leading directly to the podium under the large screen.

The lights are bright.

The press conference officially began with the host's opening remarks.

The heavy doors to the inner hall opened, and Fu Yanjing's tall and elegant figure appeared. He strode in, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, looking unapproachable.

Flashes of light and a flurry of camera shutters filled the air as he walked onto the stage, took the microphone, and spoke clearly and articulately about the product concept and the technology he was developing.

His eyes, reflected in the lamplight, were deep and dark. As his gaze swept across the audience, he exuded an unapproachable and imposing aura.

For a fleeting moment, their eyes met.

They haven't been in contact since their unpleasant encounter at Wen Jinye's house.

This was an outcome that Wen Jin had long anticipated.

A prodigy like him couldn't tolerate Wen Jin being pushed away again and again.

Fu Yanjing didn't necessarily need him.

Whether Fu Yanjing's declaration of wanting to marry her was impulsive or insincere, he would only say it once.

Wen Jin's heart was stirred by that one unintentional glance she made with Fu Yanjing.

But things quickly returned to calm.

The entire venue was solemn and serious.

Several key figures from Henderson Land's new product team took turns speaking on stage, and the atmosphere only became lively during the Q&A session.

What appears to be a free interview is actually pre-arranged communication between the reporters and even between the questions and answers.

Fu Yanjing stood on the stage, facing the various cameras and microphones with composure.

Many of the reporters were foreign friends, but he answered all the questions in an orderly manner.

Fluent exchange between Chinese, English, and French.

until--

Wen Jinye handed the microphone to him.

Following the issues that Mingjing and Hengji had already agreed upon, her smile was polite and professional, and she spoke in a businesslike manner: "Mr. Fu, you mentioned earlier that the product formula will be updated and upgraded in the future. Are there any aspects of the current formula system that you are not satisfied with or that you would like to further develop?"

Fu Yanjing stood on the stage, looking down at her without saying a word.

Wen Jin was also very certain that she hadn't asked the wrong question.

She looked at Fu Yanjing with clear, calm eyes.

The awkwardness and unease she had shown when facing him were long gone from her face.

Since leaving Wen Jinye's house that night, Fu Yanjing has asked himself more than once whether his initial proposal to marry Wen Jinye was merely a momentary impulse.

Does he want to possess, or does he want to stay with?

Regardless of the answer, it represents a complete deviation from the right path in his life.

The light above the lens was flashing continuously.

However, an unexpected event occurred the next second.

Suddenly, a photographer wearing a black baseball cap rushed onto the stage and hurled a heavy camera at Fu Yanjing.

Everything happened so suddenly that Wen Jin instinctively reached out to grab the person.

As a result, the man, lacking any sense of sportsmanship, suddenly turned around and smashed the camera into the back of Wen Jinye's head.

Under the intense pain, Wen Jin seemed numb, only able to feel the gushing blood flowing out, warm and smooth.

The previous frames and scenes seemed to be in slow motion. Before Wen Jin's vision blurred, all she saw was Fu Yanjing's panicked face.

His tense voice seemed to echo from a distant, hollow place.

"Wen Jinye!!!"
