Chapter 245: My relationship with Mr. Fu is indeed not innocent.

Chapter 245: My relationship with Mr. Fu is indeed not innocent.

Suddenly, a large number of haters flooded into the live stream room.

As if it were pre-arranged, they went on a frenzy of posting.

For women, promotions and raises are easy; they just need to spread their legs.

Earn the highest salary with the least amount of fabric.

[Look at her silence; she must have nothing to say. I wonder which big shot she's hooked up with. So many veteran journalists haven't won, and she's just a woman in her early twenties—why? Doesn't she even think about it? I just want to know if her acceptance speech was sarcastic.]

No wonder they won awards; they can kiss anyone's lips.

...

In an instant, those comments that believed in and supported Wen Jinye were silenced.

And all the comments from the positive discussions went down.

And at the scene.

The masked man continued, "As you may have heard, when Reporter Wen stayed in the Finance Department, she was embroiled in a scandal involving a mistress. After the rumors were clarified, she transferred to Social News. If she truly had a clear conscience, why would she transfer departments? Besides, there's no smoke without fire. Reporter Wen's love affair in Hong Kong was also quite scandalous."

Above his mask, his eyes were filled with resentment. "You've been following the Hong Kong entertainment industry's prince for three whole years! So, what resources can't you get in exchange for three years of sleeping around? Besides, Mr. Fu is in Jiangbei now. Can Reporter Wen say that this has nothing to do with you?"

He became increasingly agitated, "In this huge venue, facing the cameras and thousands of audience members, do you dare to pat your chest and say that your relationship with Mr. Fu is completely innocent? Others have studied hard for so many years, but they can't compete with a charming face! Where is the absolute fairness, impartiality, and objectivity of the news?"

His question was forceful and resounding.

The entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Wen Jin also stood on the stage, gripping the microphone tightly.

Everyone looked at her.

As the man spoke, his eyes gradually turned to suspicion.

This is reality.

In the eyes of the world, the difference in social status between her and Fu Yanjing was an insurmountable chasm.

His presence was enough to overshadow all of Wen Jinye's efforts.

The prejudiced gaze became a shackle she could hardly shake off throughout her career.

but--

That's just a worldly perspective.

The moment Wen Jin decided to stand shoulder to shoulder with Fu Yanjing, she had already made all the preparations.

“You came prepared, even bringing up my love affair.”

Wen Jin smiled and readily admitted it.

"My relationship with Mr. Fu is indeed not innocent."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

The man became even more adamant: "I knew it! You didn't get this award through legitimate means! You got it because of some rich kid in the Hong Kong entertainment circle! You're just a woman who sleeps around!"

Wen Jin also stood on the stage, her gaze sweeping over him.

His face showed almost no emotion, but his clear and gentle voice was firm and resonant.

"I was simply acknowledging my lover, that's all. As for your accusations that I used improper means, that I relied on him..."

Wen Jin paused, her gentle eyes suddenly turning icy, carrying a calm yet serious expression:

"If I truly relied on him, would I still need to risk my life to be on the front lines? Why would I only covet this one award and stay content with an ordinary reporter position in Jiangbei? Or, to put it more bluntly, if I relied on him to gain glory and power, do you think you would have the opportunity to stand here and confidently provide evidence to expose me?"

The man's eyes widened, and he clicked his tongue in surprise for a moment.

“We are boyfriend and girlfriend, openly and honestly, just like any other couple. My news reports are evident to all. Your speculation not only insults my abilities but also Mr. Fu’s strength.”

The room became abuzz with discussion, with people whispering and talking amongst themselves.

Wen Jin couldn't hear clearly either.

But you could roughly guess from the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces.

Whether Wen Jinye's award was merely a nominal one is no longer the point.

But her affair with Fu Yanjing is what truly shocked everyone.

After all, one of them is a well-known journalist, a native of Jiangbei.

One is a top-tier heir to a powerful family in Hong Kong, whose assets are spread all over the world.

This is no longer a matter of matching social status.

In everyone's eyes, these two completely opposite lives should never have intersected.

Let alone true love.

Wen Jin also calmly accepted all the questioning gazes.

She has a clear conscience.

“In terms of status, we are indeed somewhat mismatched. But in terms of career, I don’t think I have to depend on Mr. Fu. We are in different fields and cannot be described as being evenly matched, but that doesn’t stop me from shining in the work I love.”

The man was rendered speechless for a moment by her methodical words.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement.

Is it true or false? Are Mr. Fu and reporter Wen truly in love?

Help! They really seem to be from two different worlds! I need a guide on how to get them together; I also want to marry into a wealthy family.

[Perhaps everyone has seen Mr. Fu's first and only interview in Jiangbei? It was with reporter Wen. Could it be that their relationship was decided after that interview?]

[Reply: The person upstairs has been reading too many Cinderella novels, hasn't they? What kind of person is she? How could she possibly commit to a lifelong relationship? It's probably just a fling, right? But even if it's just a fling, it's a level that most people can never reach in a lifetime. The guy just casually let slip a grain of sand...]

[What should I do if she seems to have lost her mystique? I thought she was a cool, resilient, and capable female reporter, but it turns out she's just a vulgar person who adores power and wealth.]

[Reply: Putting everything else aside, could you possibly refuse? He's rich, and his looks are comparable to a top celebrity. Don't let his wealth overshadow his face! It's worth sleeping with him.]

[Yeah, so what if our leading lady sleeps with a handsome man? Can't a beautiful woman just walk away without a care in the world?]

The discussion continued.

[This is just a desperate attempt to save face. Such a blatant attempt to piggyback on the fortunes of a wealthy heir will likely get him blacklisted by the Fu family's PR team tomorrow.]

[Fun fact: Actress He Jiayu was just as confident in front of the media back then, and we all know how she was proven wrong later.]

There were even people placing bets in the comments section.

If they truly love me, I'll eat shit while standing on my head.

"Then I'll wash my hair while standing upside down."

[If they were really together, Liu Yifei would still be my wife. It's all just talk.]

[Reply: Upstairs, we bumped into each other's wives.]

...

Seeing the online buzz, the organizers once again stopped staff from getting involved.

Other reporters also sensed the buzz.

They all stood up and asked questions.

"Could you please elaborate on the details of your time with Mr. Fu, Ms. Wen?"

"Was it Mr. Fu who pursued you first when you got together?"

"Did you two get together because of the last interview?"

"Is this award really unrelated to Mr. Fu?"

Everyone eagerly asked questions.

Problems fell like pearls from a broken string.

Wen Jin remained calm.

His composed expression showed no trace of guilt or panic.

"These questions involve non-work-related privacy, so I'm sorry I can't answer them. However, I'm very confident about my suitability for this award, and I will prove it even more in the present and future."

The man, who had been speechless, suddenly turned sharp.

"I think you're just afraid to answer, aren't you? After all, you've been with Mr. Fu in Hong Kong for three years."

"You didn't get to know each other through an interview; rather, you've been trying to climb up to Mr. Fu's level in an attempt to achieve instant success!"
