Chapter 66
Like a huge rock in the water, it causes huge waves.
The comments in the live broadcast room paused for a moment, and then exploded, so fast that people could not see clearly.
[??? Who is whose girlfriend? Can you tell me again?]
[Just admit it? Just admit it?! I wish the best for everyone in the world, except you two.]
[Wow, Mr. Jiang is so domineering. Today is also a day that makes my heart flutter for him.]
[Wow, Xiao Jiang is always showing off his affection. At the end of the melon-eating, I was the clown.]
[Here comes the blessing already? Shen Fengni seamlessly transitions without any explanation?]
[Yes, if that's true, then isn't Xiao Jiang Zong a mistress?]
[Can you please stop shaking the camera? It's ruining my experience. Thank you.]
…
With Jiang Zhuoyan's arrival, the number of people in the livestream room rapidly increased, approaching ten thousand. System notifications for sharing the livestream appeared one after another. Such an exciting and thrilling scene was rare, and the audience called their friends and gathered together, fearing they would miss out on this wonderful performance.
The audience in the live broadcast room was greatly shocked by Jiang Zhuoyan's words, and Meng Fan, who was at the scene, was not only shocked but also extremely panicked.
The hand holding the phone was shaking. If Jiang Zhuoyan hadn't ordered her to continue the live broadcast, she really wanted to throw the phone down the building.
Why? Isn't Shen Fengni just a plaything?
Why did Jiang Zhuoyan admit that she was his girlfriend? What was wrong with this world?
In the live broadcast on the screen, Jiang Zhuoyan let go of Shen Fengni and walked towards her.
Then Meng Fan felt his hands were empty, as his cell phone was taken away.
Jiang Zhuoyan took her mobile phone and slowly adjusted the position of the camera to face herself.
"Let me give you a brief explanation of my relationship with Feng Ni."
Jiang Zhuoyan lowered her eyes slightly, scanning the rows of comments on the public screen. "We met by chance in early spring of this year. Before Feng Ni broke off the engagement, we had always been friends and had never done anything inappropriate."
Someone immediately asked on the barrage:
When did you officially establish your relationship? How long has it been since you broke off your engagement?
[Yeah, I think Chen Fengni's connection is seamless. They must have been flirting before they ran away from their marriage.]
[You say no, then there's no truth? How can you prove that Chen Fengni didn't cheat?]
…
"I will not testify on my own behalf, nor am I obligated to do so."
Jiang Zhuoyan seemed to have anticipated the reaction of the comments, and her tone was very calm. "Anyone who questions us must provide evidence. If anyone suspects us of inappropriate behavior, please provide evidence yourself. Also, please be responsible for your own words. If you spread rumors without any evidence, I will take legal action to pursue you."
She is well aware of the horror of public opinion. If she is blindly led by it, she will easily fall into the trap of self-proof, which will cause endless troubles.
There are thousands of questions coming from different sources, and answering them all is incredibly difficult. Furthermore, no one can guarantee that their answers will always be perfect; if something goes wrong, there's bound to be endless explanations.
So it’s better to be tough and take the initiative first.
Sure enough, after Jiang Zhuoyan finished speaking, the questioning comments immediately fell silent, and the supportive comments prevailed.
[I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Some people keep accusing others of cheating. Do you have any evidence? Did you see it under the bed or something?]
[That's right, don't throw dirty water on others without any evidence.]
[Chen Fengni's wedding was in early July, and the contract was signed in August. The timeframe was shorter, but it wasn't a seamless transition either.]
[We were very good friends before, and got together after breaking up without any problems.]
[I'm the only one who's focused on how beautiful the angles of Xiao Jiang's death are. There's really no blind spot in the 360-degree scene. Wow.]
…
"Meng Fan." Jiang Zhuoyan turned the camera again and pointed it at Meng Fan. "After verification by the company, you have committed the following inappropriate behavior."
"First, he repeatedly used improper means to gain benefits, such as sending indecent photos to fans in exchange for tips, which seriously damaged the company's image. Second, during the competition with other live streamers, he maliciously set vulgar punishment content, which had a bad influence. Third, he secretly took photos of live streamers from the same company, distorted their behavior, and wantonly smeared them. Fourth, he bribed the HR during the interview process, and there were also false information in his resume..."
Every word Jiang Zhuoyan said seemed to hit Meng Fan's heart, making him almost unable to stand.
Cold sweat ran down her back, and she suddenly wanted to escape from here immediately and escape from what she was about to hear.
"The company has decided to fire you. Because you have severely damaged the company's image, you must pay liquidated damages according to the contract."
Jiang Zhuoyan downplayed the matter, as if it were nothing serious. "If you still don't repent and continue to do things that affect others, I will pursue it in my own way, including but not limited to legal means."
"Mr. Jiang, I was wrong!" Meng Fan's legs softened and he knelt on the ground. "Please, please... please have mercy on me."
You can't blame her for falling down so quickly. According to the company's contract, the penalty for seriously tarnishing the company's image is at least six figures.
Although she normally earns 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, she's a very vain person who loves luxury goods and wants the best of everything. She's used to spending lavishly and hasn't saved much. This penalty will probably wipe out her entire savings.
What’s even more terrifying is that Jiang Zhuoyan is such a big name in the industry. How can she continue to live broadcast in the future when her actions are exposed to the public in this way?
She thought that after taking Yu Qian's reward, she could stay out of the spotlight and continue to live a carefree life, but she didn't expect that Jiang Zhuoyan would actually want to kill her.
Moreover, Meng Fan couldn't understand why Jiang Zhuoyan had acted so quickly and found out everything about her since the public opinion appeared for only a dozen hours.
Or did Jiang Zhuoyan already start investigating her a long time ago, but she was completely unaware?
Jiang Zhuoyan stood opposite her, looking down at her with an expressionless face.
"Do you have anything else to say?"
"I..." Meng Fan really wanted to defend himself or try to beg for mercy, but after seeing Jiang Zhuoyan's cold eyes, he forced himself to hold it back.
Her intuition told her that if she didn't honestly admit her mistake, her fate would probably be even worse.
"I, I don't have anything to say." Meng Fan's face was pale, and he spoke in a low voice, "I'm sorry to have caused trouble for Mr. Jiang."
Having achieved his goal, Jiang Zhuoyan raised his chin towards the door and ordered everyone to leave.
Meng Fan's body trembled, and then he slowly stood up and walked out of the door in a daze.
In the live broadcast room, the direction of the barrage has completely changed.
[Wait, wait, wait, so things are reversed? ]
[The third point Mr. Jiang mentioned just now was about Shen Fengni, right? He was speaking up for his girlfriend.]
[Not only the third one, I've also read the melon about the PK punishment, which also talks about the connection between Meng Fan and Chen Fengni.]
[So it was Meng Fan who was always plotting against Shen Fengni, right? Is that true?]
"It must be true. Xiao Jiang is a public figure after all. If he dares to say that, he must have evidence, otherwise he would be sued."
[No need for anything else, you know the answer just by looking at Meng Fan's reaction. He almost kowtowed to Mr. Jiang. I'm really going to die of laughter.]
…
Jiang Zhuoyan glanced at the comments, and after seeing one that read [You wouldn't say it, you wouldn't say it, Mr. Jiang and Shen Fengni are quite a good match], her tightly pursed lips finally lifted up, revealing a hint of a smile.
Then she simply said goodbye to the audience and turned off the live broadcast.
The air returned to silence, and Chen Fengni came back to her senses as if waking from a dream.
In the field of vision, the person who had just been aloof and cold in front of the camera was walking towards him with a smile.
Jiang Zhuoyan reached out and held her hand, his eyes sparkling, and his tone seemed to carry a hint of almost naive expectation, "Did you perform well?"
Feeling warmth in her palm, Shen Fengni clenched her hand tightly, "Thank you for your hard work, Nian Nian."
Ever since the incident, Jiang Zhuoyan had been telling her that she would handle it and that she didn't have to worry about anything.
And then she actually did it.
It is like an invisible barrier, isolating the disturbances from the outside world and guarding the peace of the world.
It was also like a sharp sword, standing in front of her to protect her when she was most helpless and at a loss.
Jiang Zhuoyan chuckled and added in a low voice, "I had originally planned to announce it at the press conference tomorrow, but it was brought forward, so I wasn't fully prepared."
"It's already very good." Shen Fengni blurted out, "It's just that I..."
Jiang Zhuoyan's arrangement was perfect. If there was any inadequacy, it was her own fault.
It was she who disobeyed Jiang Zhuoyan and went to find Meng Fan without permission, losing control of her emotions and triggering a series of subsequent troubles.
Fortunately, Jiang Zhuoyan handled the situation properly, otherwise who knows how serious the consequences would be.
Jiang Zhuoyan asked, "Just what?"
Shen Fengni felt even more guilty: "Don't you blame me?"
Jiang Zhuoyan asked back, "Why do I blame you?"
When Shen Fengni thinks about it now, she still feels scared.
Jiang Zhuoyan arrived just in time, rescued her and calmed down the public opinion storm.
If it weren't for Jiang Zhuoyan, Meng Fan would have completely derailed the livestream. Her emotions were out of control, and she was aggressive towards Meng Fan, each word becoming more and more offensive. Most people watching would have assumed she was angry because Meng Fan had exposed her.
The first impression after an incident is terrifying, and it will preoccupy the minds of the onlookers. Whenever the incident is mentioned later, the only thing that comes to mind is this incident.
Even if we try to clarify it later, it will not reach every audience.
For every public figure, losing popularity is extremely fatal.
"If I had controlled my emotions, if I had discovered Meng Fan's live broadcast earlier, I wouldn't have been caught by Meng Fan."
Shen Fengni sighed, "No matter what, I should have restrained myself from losing my temper."
"You've already been wronged, there's no need to endure it."
Jiang Zhuoyan refuted seriously, "If someone asks you to endure it, then it would be unfair to you."
Shen Fengni was stunned, "But... I should have handled this matter more properly."
Jiang Zhuoyan's words brought back an unprecedented feeling in her heart. It was hard for her to describe it. But the only thing she was certain of was that she seemed to have gained a rare love.
"Feng Ni, why do you demand so much of yourself?"
Jiang Zhuoyan blinked, and her long eyelashes fluttered gently, casting a gentle shadow on her cheek.
"You're great, and I love you very much." She sounded a little confused, but also very serious. "Besides, you never have to be perfect."
