Chapter 376 Ji Yan is caught in public opinion
"I'm already a grown-up, and I still get New Year's red envelopes. Does my sister treat me like a child?"
Shi Yin smiled lightly, "Just because you're not a child doesn't mean you can't accept red envelopes? Where in the world is there such a rule?"
Jiang Xuze smiled and took the red envelope. "Then I'll ask for good luck. Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome."
Shi Yin turned around and strolled on the island. The snow under her feet made a crunching sound, and the red plum blossoms looked particularly beautiful under the light of the street lamps.
In the freezing cold of winter, everything around is silvery white, only the red dots on the branches are dazzling and full of affection.
"My sister's spring and summer fashion show is coming up soon, right?"
"Well, there's still more than a month left. It might be very busy for a month or so, so I might have to go back and forth between home and work for a while."
Jiang Xu Ze asked, "Sister, have you seen what's going on online? If you don't have a good PR team, I can help you suppress it."
"Don't you suspect that I really plagiarized?"
Jiang Xuze didn't hesitate, "Sister is not that kind of person. Sister is capable and would not bother to plagiarize."
Shi Yin smiled lightly. "I'm really touched that you trust me so much. But don't worry, I've already prepared a response strategy. Just let it spread online. It will give me exposure without spending any money."
Jiang Xuze took a plum blossom petal off her shoulder and said, "Sister, you are great."
"It just so happens that school hasn't started yet, so I can go to the company to help you."
"No need. Just have a good rest during the holidays. School will start and things will get busy again, so you won't have such a leisurely life."
"It's okay." He stretched out his hand, showing his wrist and shaking it. "My sister gave me such a beautiful watch, I should serve her!"
Shi Yin scoffed, "Well, then I'll reluctantly let you help me."
After visiting the plum garden with Jiang Xize, Jiang Xize directly sent Shi Yin to Xizi Bay.
After returning home, Fu Zhiyao came over not long after.
Shi Yin opened the door and said, "I was just about to call you and bring you some food. You probably haven't eaten yet, right?"
Fu Zhiyao happily walked in and took it, "You said you would have dinner with me, of course you didn't."
"Take the medicine after dinner."
"Okay~"
A live interview program online suddenly became a hot topic.
[The daughter of the Ji Group is not her biological daughter, but an orphan from an orphanage! ]
Below is a video of a middle-aged man who is sloppy, old and sickly looking.
The host asked, "Mr. Zhang, could you please introduce yourself?"
Zhang Ma shrank back in fear in front of the camera, and the first impression he gave was that of an honest and pitiful man.
"Hello everyone, my name is... Zhang Ma. I'm from a remote mountain village in City N, and now I work a daily wage job in City A."
Host: "It's rumored online that you're the biological father of Ji Yan, the daughter of the Ji Group. Is this true?"
Zhang Ma nodded. "Ji Yan is indeed my biological daughter. She knows me, but she doesn't want to see me. Also, I accidentally lost her when she was little. Maybe she holds a grudge against me, right?"
Host: "You mean you accidentally lost her when she was a child instead of abandoning her?"
Zhang Ma immediately got excited and said, "How could I abandon my own daughter? Her mother had a difficult labor and gave birth to her with great difficulty. Although my family was in financial difficulty, I did my best to take care of this child."
"Then how did this child get lost?"
Zhang Ma sighed, "It's my fault, too. To support this child, I usually go to the construction site to work while my mother takes care of her at home. But my mother is old and sick, so I have no choice but to bring her to the construction site and beg the boss to let the child stay in the empty office for a while."
Zhang Ma choked up as she spoke. "I went to see my child once an hour, but she was gone. I searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. It wasn't until a few years ago that I finally found her and knew she was living a good life."
The host said, "You are a poor man too. It must have been very torturous for you all these years."
Zhang Mahan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I've been looking for my daughter for so many years and have accumulated a lot of debts. Now that I know she has a good life, I feel relieved. I will go back and work hard to pay back the debt."
"Has your daughter never thought about helping you pay off your debts? Ji Yan is now a child of the Ji family. The bag she carries when she goes out is equivalent to a year's salary for ordinary people like us."
Zhang Ma shook his head. "How can I trouble my child with my own debt? I can't cause trouble for him."
As soon as this live broadcast was released, it caused quite a stir.
The entry about Ji Yan, the adopted daughter of Ji Group, being ungrateful was directly pushed to the top.
[Huh? I used to follow Ji Yan's Weibo. Her extravagant lifestyle made me laugh. And she's an adopted daughter?]
[This is unbelievable. Now that she has a good life, she no longer recognizes the father who gave birth to her and raised her. How heartless! ]
[As expected, no matter how old you are, you are always greedy for money and despise the poor.]
[A pheasant flew onto a branch and thought it was a phoenix? ]
Ji Yan's father is so pitiful. He searched for so many years, but his own daughter refused to acknowledge him in order to live a wealthy life.
[How unfilial! Don't you know that filial piety is the most important virtue? A pheasant can never become a phoenix. Ji Yan, remember this!]
When Ji Yan saw this live broadcast, she was so angry that she smashed everything in the room to pieces.
Old Master Ji heard a knock on the door and walked in. Looking at the mess on the floor and Ji Yan crying hysterically, he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Ji Yan cried, "Grandpa, I don't want to live anymore!"
Mr. Ji understood the whole story and invested 50 million yuan in the platform, but the trending search still did not go down. He couldn't help but guess that someone must have done it on purpose.
The old man returned to his study, hesitated for a while, and finally called Shi Yin.
"Yinyin, please go back to the Ji family tomorrow. I have something to tell you."
"I'm sorry, I don't have time tomorrow. If you have anything to say, please talk over the phone."
Grandpa Ji hesitated for a moment, but in the end he didn't say what he was thinking. "Okay, then when you have time, grandpa will be waiting for you at home."
"Okay, take care." After the polite words were spoken, a beep came from the phone.
Old Master Ji sighed. How could he not know that Shi Yin was just trying to fool him?
No matter how busy you are, don’t you have time to come back and have a meal?
At this moment, the butler walked in.
"Chairman, Secretary Zhao called. The trending search still can't be suppressed."
Old Master Ji was silent for a moment. "Then forget about it. Just be careful and don't let that kid cause any trouble."
The butler nodded, "Okay, Chairman, don't worry."
Old Master Ji sighed heavily.
