Chapter 64
As soon as Shen Fengni entered the company, she felt the gazes from all directions.
The employees coming and going, whether they knew her or not, seemed to take a special look at her twice, and when they found that she noticed, they quickly looked away.
Such a gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
Shen Fengni frowned slightly, walked through the crowd without looking around, and took the elevator to the office on the top floor.
The live broadcast room needed to be upgraded, and a number of the decorations inside had to be eliminated. Song Manman and Xu Weiyi went out to buy new ones this morning, so she was the only one in the huge room.
Shen Fengni sat down at the table and looked at herself in the mirror.
The smooth mirror surface reflected a slightly haggard face, with a few tiny red bloodshot lines in the eyes and a faint dark circles under the eyes, which was due to not getting enough rest yesterday.
Starting from yesterday afternoon, a lot of gossip about her and Jiang Zhuoyan suddenly appeared on the Internet. They were vivid, with pictures and texts, mixed with a lot of malicious speculation, pushing her to the center of the whirlpool of public opinion.
Even the video of Jiang Zhuoyan leading her away from the wedding was dug up. This immediately set the comment section ablaze, and everyone seemed to have some irrefutable proof, concluding that the two of them were having an affair.
As always, netizens who like to watch the show are only willing to believe the plot they want to believe.
She ran away from the wedding, broke off the engagement, immediately signed a contract with the company, and behaved intimately with the president.
The most reasonable explanation is that Chen Fengni met Jiang Zhuoyan while he was in love with Yu Qian, and then fell in love with someone else, abandoned his fiancée, and chose Jiang Zhuoyan, who had better conditions.
Compared with marketing accounts, the comments from the general public are more impolite, and the discussion under the article is in full swing.
"I used to like Shen Fengni very much, but I didn't expect her to be this kind of person."
"So Chen Fengni's criterion for choosing a partner is the CEO, right? It doesn't matter who it is, as long as he's the CEO."
"The CEO is always there, but the CEO's wife is always changing."
"It's not necessarily cheating. There's no evidence to prove that Shen Fengni was in a relationship with Jiang Zhuoyan during their relationship. To be more precise, it's not even certain whether they were in a relationship or not."
"Just think about the timeline yourself. Seamless connection is cheating. I hope you know."
"We went to the supermarket together all day and went home together, but we still didn't talk? Then what does it mean to talk?"
…
Shen Fengni flipped through the comments, her expression growing colder by the second.
She put her phone aside, walked to the window and lit a cigarette.
The current situation was naturally not suitable for live streaming. She planned to take a break for a few days and use this opportunity to re-plan and re-arrange the live studio.
After the incident, the first person Shen Fengni thought of was Meng Fan.
During her time at the company, she hadn't interacted much with anyone else, let alone made any enemies. The only person she had a grudge against was Meng Fan.
Meng Fan failed to plot against her and held a grudge, so he resorted to despicable means to retaliate.
But after the video of her wedding day was dubbed, she had other ideas.
The leaked video was short, only a dozen seconds long, showing Jiang Zhuoyan leading her away from the scene. From far away, then closer, then farther away, their backs finally disappearing outside the door.
This is not the angle taken by the photographer, it should be taken by a guest on the scene.
Therefore, this matter is probably related to Yu Qian.
Originally, Shen Fengni found it strange that Meng Fan, a new anchor, had such great power to operate those well-known marketing accounts.
But if Meng Fan is Yu Qian's man and works together with Yu Qian, then things would make much more sense.
Moreover, a considerable number of the leaked photos were taken in or near the company, after Meng Fan joined the company, and the timeline also matches.
Jiang Zhuoyan had previously obtained evidence of Yu Qian's infidelity, which had deterred her from acting rashly. But this way, even if Yu Qian's affair was exposed later, people would simply think that the two of them were playing around with each other, and no one would blame anyone else.
Moreover, gossip that comes out first always leaves a deeper impression on people. After watching the excitement, many people will not pursue the follow-up, so no matter how you look at it, Shen Fengni suffers.
But these are just speculations after all. She has no evidence to prove that it was Meng Fan who did all this. Even if she could prove it, she seemed unable to do anything to him.
The cigarette in his hand burned out unknowingly. Shen Fengni returned to his seat and picked up his phone again.
Although Jiang Zhuoyan told her not to watch the news these two days and just have a good rest, Chen Fengni still couldn't help but pay attention to the trends of public opinion.
She followed a lot of marketing accounts yesterday, and every time there was an article update, she would receive a push notification immediately.
Shen Fengni flipped through the articles in the push list. The content was still similar to before, with nothing new, which made her a little numb.
Just as she was about to close the list, a new article push popped up.
The title of the article is "The identity of the top rich man "Zhezhi" in Chen Fengni's live broadcast room is revealed."
The moment Shen Fengni saw the word "broken branch", his mind went blank.
She didn't have time to think, so she clicked on the article and started reading quickly.
"Recently, the popularity of Chen Fengni's livestream has been rising, and this is closely related to one of her fans who has considerable financial resources. She is Zhezhi."
"Zhezhi's consumption level is currently 60, and his spending on the Moment app platform is over 1.5 million."
"There's news that Zhezhi's style of doing things is very similar to that of Jiang Zhuoyan, the president of 'Yimeng' Company."
"If Zhezhi is really Jiang Zhuoyan himself, then it can be seen that Mr. Jiang must have many favorite anchors, otherwise he wouldn't have such a high level of consumption. I wonder when Shen Fengni won Mr. Jiang's favor. I guess many people are very envious of her."
"However, given Mr. Xiao Jiang's status in the live broadcast industry, he should have very close relationships with many anchors. I wonder if there are any seniors like Shen Fengni among them?"
…
I know every word, but when they are put together they sound terribly strange.
Chen Fengni never thought that one day such a description would appear on Jiang Zhuoyan.
Ambiguous words, obscure speculations, malicious gazes, confusing truth and falsehood, all pieced together out of nothing to create an eye-catching and malicious accusation.
Chen Fengni closed her eyes and felt uncontrollably nauseous.
Yu Qian was even more disgusting than she had imagined. Not only did she drag her into the water, she even dragged Jiang Zhuoyan into it as well.
The live streaming industry is a mixed bag, with many shady deals. It is not uncommon for unknown anchors to sell their bodies to powerful people in exchange for opportunities to climb up.
But she is not that kind of person, and Jiang Zhuoyan is even less so.
Ever since the accident, the string that had been tense in my mind finally broke.
Shen Fengni stood up expressionlessly, walked out of the office quickly, and took the elevator downstairs.
She walked all the way to the office area used by the anchors, but saw that Meng Fan's workstation was empty.
"Feng Ni, why are you here?" Zhang Hui, who was sitting next to her, greeted her. She rarely saw Shen Feng Ni here, so she was a little surprised. Then she asked with concern, "You look so bad, are you okay?"
The gossip surrounding Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan had already spread throughout the company. After all, Jiang Zhuoyan's in-game wedding had already let a small group of people know the identity of her partner. Last night's articles were like a fuse, instantly detonating the hidden bomb and catching everyone off guard.
On the surface, everything seemed to be calm, but privately, all the group chats were in an uproar, with people saying all sorts of things.
Although Zhang Hui didn't have much interaction with Shen Fengni, she had a good impression of her. She also didn't think Jiang Zhuoyan and Shen Fengni would do the things described in the article, so she felt a little sympathetic towards their current situation.
"I'm fine." Shen Fengni raised the corner of her mouth, not knowing whether she succeeded in smiling. She looked around, "Isn't Meng Fan here today?"
"Oh, she's here." Zhang Hui said, "She just went to the live broadcast room. She said she just came back from vacation and wanted to research a new makeup look."
Shen Fengni nodded, "Thank you."
She went out and headed straight for the live broadcast area.
Given Meng Fan's current status, he could only use the public live broadcast area. The spacious hall was divided into smaller rooms by soundproof panels, resembling a honeycomb. The interior was so cramped that even two people felt crowded.
Chen Fengni quickly found the room where Meng Fan was. She pushed the door open and entered, then closed it tightly, causing the surrounding debris to shake a few times.
Meng Fan was sitting in front of the dressing mirror with his back to her and was startled by the sudden noise.
She screamed and turned around, "Who is it? What are you doing?"
After seeing clearly that it was Shen Fengni, she jumped up from her seat like a frightened rabbit and turned to face Shen Fengni, "Why are you here?"
Meng Fan's tone was barely calm, but her body language betrayed her agitation. She leaned against the dressing table, her waist pressed firmly against the edge, completely on guard.
Shen Fengni was too lazy to waste time talking to her and went straight to the point, "You did it, right?"
"What do you mean?" Meng Fan blinked, his tone becoming innocent. "What did I do?"
Shen Fengni stared at her. "Aren't you clear about what I'm talking about?"
Meng Fan shrank back and insisted, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Shen Fengni took out her cell phone, randomly found an article she had just read, and scrolled down.
A photo suddenly appeared on the screen. It showed Chen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan chatting and laughing while queuing up to buy coffee together.
"If I remember correctly, I saw you in the coffee shop that day."
Her finger continued to slide down, switching to another photo in the supermarket.
"And this one, you were nearby at the time, too, and you bought a bottle of yogurt."
Meng Fan hesitated, "So what if he's here? There are only a few shops near the company. Isn't it normal to run into him?"
"That's normal." Shen Fengni put away her phone. "There are surveillance cameras everywhere now, so it's very easy to check. Do you think I can find out who took these photos?"
Meng Fan felt guilty for a moment, but he still tried to remain calm, "Then go ahead and check it out, why are you looking for me?"
Anyway, her idea has always been to go home and hide after completing this big deal. Even if Shen Fengni and Jiang Zhuoyan really find out, they shouldn't be able to do anything to her... right?
It won’t take long, just one or two years, and who will still remember who?
The next second, the person opposite suddenly took a step forward and pressed in front of him.
"Listen carefully." His eyes, which were usually gentle and clear, were now looking at her coldly. "It doesn't matter what happens to me, but if you affect Jiang Zhuoyan, I will never let you go."
