At the press conference, Xia Fan also reflected on his own actions.
He also apologized to the public.
"I promise, and welcome everyone's supervision, that in the future, we will seriously regulate Yunshang's management team and prevent any instances of managers abusing their power for personal gain or suppressing signed artists."
"..."
"In the future, if artists encounter unfair treatment, they must have the courage to fight back and report it to me. If similar incidents occur again, I will absolutely not tolerate anyone."
"..."
"I feel deeply sorry for taking up public resources, and I sincerely apologize to everyone once again."
"..."
"Permission was an unintentional mistake. The greater responsibility lies with Yunshang's management team. We earnestly request that everyone give her another chance and guarantee that she will not commit any more dereliction of duty or misconduct."
"..."
"From today onwards, Yunshang will help Xu Ke emerge from the shadow of suppression, help her regain confidence, and contribute more to public welfare."
...
Qiao Chu was in Jiang Zhi's office.
They watched the press conference together.
After watching it, Qiao Chu found it quite funny!
"Great acting skills! It's such a shame you're not making movies!"
Jiang Zhi said disdainfully, "This play must have cost a lot of money!"
"Exactly! To protect the license, she's willing to sacrifice an agent. President Xia is really willing to spend money! Rong Yan must have helped too. Interesting!"
Jiang Zhi stared intently at Qiao Chu.
He tentatively asked, "Honey, how did you and President Xia fall out? Didn't he make you famous before? He should be considered your mentor!"
Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi looked at each other. "Honey, do you want to hear about my past? Are you curious?"
Jiang Zhi shrugged indifferently, "Say it if you want to, or we won't force you if you don't."
Suddenly, Qiao Chu sat on Jiang Zhi's lap.
She was fiddling with Jiang Zhi's tie.
"Xia Fan seems like a good guy on the surface. But in reality, he's a playboy, you know?"
Jiang Zhi chuckled when he heard Qiao Chu describe Xia Fan.
"I became famous not because of him, but because of my own strength. My former manager was also very helpful and brought me a lot of resources, which is why Yunshang's fame soared."
Jiang Zhi smiled charmingly, "So, Yunshang's increased fame in the industry is all thanks to you!"
"More or less! My main focus is on fashion shows abroad, and I endorse major international brands. I don't have much contact with him."
"How did you end up under his tutelage?" Jiang Zhi asked, affectionately putting his arm around Qiao Chu's waist.
"Back then, it was my teacher who introduced him. According to my teacher, Xia Fan used to be a promising and hardworking young man who started his own business in Haicheng. He was a very promising and persevering young man, and she had high hopes for him. However, the entertainment industry is a cesspool. After being in it for a long time, people become blinded by greed and change."
...
Jiang Zhi whispered in Qiao Chu's ear, his sharp, cheetah-like eyes fixed on her, not missing a single expression.
Rumor has it that you are his girlfriend.
Rumor has it that you are disabled.
Jiang Zhi smiled mysteriously, "You used to be so popular, why did you retire from the entertainment industry?"
“When I entered this industry, my teacher told me that nothing lasts forever, and you have to be able to accept the ups and downs. Leaving the industry, I have nothing to regret, and I can do things that I want to do. I was very happy, peaceful, and content during those two years. Most importantly, why should I make money for that bastard Xia Fan!”
"You really dislike Xia Fan?"
"Xia Fan wanted to pluck me, the flower, but he couldn't bear to lose Rong Yan, the big watermelon. He had many other women out there. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I got angry and fired him. Rong Yan and Xu Ke both hated me because they felt that Xia Fan still had his eye on me, and they were also jealous of my beauty."
Jiang Zhi kissed Qiao Chu's cheek, his charming smile deepening. "Your reputation is terrible. Aren't you going to explain yourself?"
"Where there are many women, there are also many disputes. I'm so famous, there are quite a few people who want to smear me. Over time, I've become too lazy to respond. As far as I know, Rong Yan has thrown the most mud at me, and Jiang Yan has also had the media write a lot of rumors about me."
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi's eyes darkened. "You knew Jiang Yan before?"
Qiao Chu cupped Jiang Zhi's face in her hands, and the two looked at each other earnestly. "Husband, do you believe what I'm telling you?"
"I want to know how sincere you are towards me."
“I don’t really know Jiang Yan. We met by chance, and she tried to win me over, but I ignored her. After that, even more people started criticizing me. Actually, it was after I met you at the World Supermodel Competition that even more people started criticizing me and throwing mud at me.”
"Didn't you leak information yourself to inflate your own value?"
"Would I sell my integrity for that little bit of money? I've never bothered with hype! But I can't rule out the possibility that Xia Fan himself stirred up the rumors between you and me, Jiang Yan got involved, and Rong Yan is also up to something."
Are you so sure?
"I swear to God, I have done nothing wrong!"
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi's expression turned quite serious. "Why were you there the day I had my car accident?"
"I had already made an appointment with Ye Er to have dinner there, and I even booked a table a day in advance. How was I supposed to know that you guys were going there too?"
Jiang Zhi remained silent, his eyes becoming deep and cold.
Qiao Chu looked at him and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going back to my office."
...
As Qiao Chu was about to leave, Jiang Zhi still had his arm around her waist.
"Do you... still think I hurt you?"
"..."
"Whether you believe it or not, I have never sought media attention to create any scandals."
"..."
“I explained to the media that we were just acquaintances and had no relationship; you were just trying to help me out. But nobody believed me, and the media still wrote all sorts of things. Back then, I was young and thought that if I ignored it, no one would mention it anymore in a few days. I was naive; I became the queen of scandals.”
"..."
"If I had known, I would have listened to Ye Er and announced that we were boyfriend and girlfriend. I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess."
Qiao Chu looked at Jiang Zhi.
"Why are you still glaring at me? How am I supposed to get back if you don't let go?"
"Knowing he's disabled, you still married him. What are you after?"
"First, for the sake of the Qiao Group. Second, I think you're a really good person! Third, you're handsome too! Fourth, I'm a little grateful to you! If you hadn't sent me the medicine, I would have withdrawn from the competition, and then I wouldn't have the halo title of World Supermodel Champion. Half of my success is thanks to you."
Jiang Zhi's lips curled up slightly, "You flatter me so much!"
Qiao Chu chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Four years ago, I was quite impressed with you after just one glance! I liked you a lot back then! I never expected that we would meet again after all this time, and become like enemies."
"Did you like me before?"
"Yes, it's just a young girl's crush, a very innocent crush! Anyway, you don't really care, so it's okay to say it."
"You and Ye Er..."
“He said that if no one else wanted me, he would take me in and support me for the rest of my life.”
