Lin Yanwan glanced cautiously to the side, and when she didn't see anyone eavesdropping, she said in a very soft voice, "He had something to do today and didn't come to school."
Jiang Xia said he wanted to clarify things during breakfast, but we don't know what he'll do.
“I also think we shouldn’t have come.” Qiu Ting nodded vigorously.
Of course, she wouldn't think like those people online that Jiang Xia was a coward who only hid behind women. If he wasn't good enough for Lin Yanwan, then no one of their age was good enough for her.
A few minutes later, photos of Lin Yanwan arriving at school from multiple angles were already circulating everywhere on the Tsinghua University forum.
Just like her performance in the video, she is beautiful from every angle. Many people are asking in the comments section of the post, "Where is her cowardly boyfriend? Why haven't we seen him? What about his classmates? Has anyone revealed anything?"
At this point, a guy with the username "d" (meaning "clown") posted a picture with the caption: "This is a practical lesson on anime techniques. That cowardly guy who only hides behind women and doesn't dare to make a sound has skipped class again, as expected."
This news caused an uproar, with many people feeling sorry for Ms. Lin Yanwan.
Is this the kind of person she calls "excellent"—someone who often skips classes?
Besides, what kind of man would let his girlfriend face public criticism?
Did they think that by giving the cold shoulder and not responding, the matter would be over?
He's a complete coward.
However, just as public opinion continued to ferment, both Qitian Animation and DiliDili issued a joint statement at the same time.
"Recently, some internet users have been spreading negative information about our company's president, Mr. Jiang Xia, on various forums and online communities. These are all false statements, malicious rumors, and slander. Some individuals have even launched personal attacks against Mr. Jiang Xia based on these fabricated claims, severely damaging his personal reputation and potentially infringing on his right to reputation. Our company hereby clarifies the following: We urge all netizens to understand the facts and refrain from believing or spreading rumors:"
"First of all, Mr. Jiang Xia and Ms. Lin Yanwan did not violate the national law by getting married too early. Instead, they held an engagement ceremony on the fifth day of the first lunar month this year, witnessed by their parents and elders."
"Secondly, Mr. Jiang Xia did not skip class intentionally, but asked for leave with the teacher's consent. Mr. Jiang Xia's average GPA last semester was 3.68, with all subjects achieving excellent grades. He even voluntarily refused the school's scholarship. The rumors that he was a poor student are untrue."
"Finally, Tom and Jerry is an animation created by Mr. Jiang Xia during his high school years. He is also the founder of Qitian Animation and DiliDili. Our company calls on netizens to stop spreading false information and not to deliberately smear or slander others' legitimate rights and interests due to irrational and subjective attitudes. Do not break the law."
This is a formal announcement!
Beijing Qitian Animation Co., Ltd. Beijing DiliDili Culture Communication Co., Ltd.
April 22, 2010
To lend credibility to the statement, the official account also posted photos of the couple's engagement, Jiang Xia's student grades, leave requests from his tutor, scenes from when he first started Qitian Animation Company, and photos of the business license.
The statement stunned the entire internet. No one expected that Lin Yanwan's cowardly boyfriend wasn't just ignoring the issue, but had been holding back his anger.
Most importantly, he is actually the original creator of Tom and Jerry, and also the behind-the-scenes boss of Qitian Animation and DiliDili.
This...this is the damn good-for-nothing from the rumors?
Which idiot spread this rumor and started this upside-down nonsense? If this kind of person is useless, then what are all the people who follow along? Single-celled paramecia?
This dramatic reversal is truly astounding.
It turns out that Lin Yanwan's response below the video was true; her boyfriend is even more outstanding than her.
Afterwards, Jiang Xia's employees began a large-scale counterattack and clarification on D-site, all praising their boss's good personality, talent, hard work, and dedication. Finally, they promoted Qitian Animation and DiliDili, sincerely inviting insightful individuals to join them!
Then public opinion exploded.
"Any normal person with two companies would definitely spend their time and energy on those companies, making hundreds of thousands every second. Who wouldn't want to go to school? The key is that he got straight A's in every subject. That's really amazing."
"It's kind of funny. Didn't Jiang's classmates know his real identity? They had a powerful backer but didn't know how to curry favor with him. Instead, they kept offending him and wasted their chance to reach the pinnacle of life. They're just a bunch of idiots."
"I have to say President Jiang is low-key. If the public opinion hadn't involved his fiancée, he probably wouldn't have bothered to come forward and explain. After all, would a billionaire even give a second glance to a rat in a stinking ditch?"
"He is truly low-key. I've been following the gossip online, and surprisingly, no one knows President Jiang's real identity. If it were me, I would have been ecstatic by now."
Finally, the official account of D-site posted a video, which had no visuals and only audio.
"Hello everyone, I am Jiang Xia. I am very sorry to have taken up public resources because of a rumor. Thank you for your concern. I am usually too busy with work and have been unable to attend many classes. I had no choice but to ask my supervisor for leave. However, this does not mean that I neglect my studies. The professional courses in university have benefited me a lot. Therefore, whenever I have free time, I will try my best to make up for it and catch up with the progress of the school teachers. This is also a promise I made to my supervisor."
"Actually, before Yanwan released the video, I guessed that she might become the focus of attention. But I never expected that the problem would actually be with me. She was the one who supported me when Tom and Jerry was first created. Without her soulful music, I wouldn't be where I am today."
