Chapter 102 You're Afraid
Director Dou and the others all wore expressions that were hard to describe, and Gao Min even glared at her fiercely.
"You could do so many things with that money, why would I buy you fans? Do you even deserve it?"
Ye Wanxi: "..." Sorry to bother you!
The producer chuckled: "Wanxi, do you have no idea how popular you are right now? Ever since you exposed those two human traffickers on the show, you've been trending on social media almost every day. From your previous Weibo predictions to your amazing predictions on the show, and then there was that Mr. Zou who made a brief appearance at the end."
There are at least seven or eight different speculations about you online. Oh, by the way, the fact that you were chased by those unscrupulous media outlets yesterday also made it to the trending topics. The reason is... those media outlets that were chasing you yesterday all got their phones overloaded.
As soon as the producer said this, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi calmly replied, "It's probably because the cameras they bought were of poor quality. They were all from the same batch, a group purchase product."
"..." What kind of group-buying product is this? We're not very educated, don't try to fool us!
Meeting the complicated looks from everyone, Ye Wanxi cleared her throat and changed the subject: "Director Dou, how is your daughter doing lately? Is she alright?"
Director Dou's attention was indeed diverted: "She's doing great, she's doing great. She just eats and sleeps all day at home, her mother-in-law is practically raising her like a pig. It's just that the lousy company she used to work for was inhumane, I've been thinking about how to help her with the lawsuit these past few days."
The producer, who was related to Director Dou, was also taken aback when she heard him say this: "Why did you suddenly start a lawsuit?"
It would be fine if we didn't talk about this, but as soon as I talked about it, Dou Dao got so angry.
"You know the company your daughter works for. She's been there for three or four years, working overtime every day. Her mother and I didn't think much of it before. Young people are like that, it's good to have some drive. Although we felt sorry for her, we didn't say anything because she was happy to stay there."
"But her health wasn't good this time, and the pregnancy wasn't very stable. Wanxi had said before that she needed to take good care of herself and not overwork herself in order to keep the baby. Our two families discussed it and originally planned to have her resign for a while, but she refused. She said she could coordinate with the company to see if she could be temporarily transferred to another group that didn't require as much hard work and overtime, and then transferred back after giving birth."
"Not only did the company refuse, they also wanted to transfer her to another project team that was in a critical phase, saying it was a plan they had in place. They demanded that she work overtime while pregnant, just like before, or she would be fired. Isn't this just a way of forcing her to resign?"
Although both families had the idea of asking his daughter to resign and take care of the baby from the beginning, resigning on one's own initiative and being discriminated against while pregnant and being forced to resign by deliberate means are two completely different things. No wonder Director Dou was so angry.
Several people nearby frowned as they listened, angrily saying, "This company is so unethical! They start causing trouble as soon as a female employee gets pregnant. Director Dou, you should expose them to the media so that job seekers can avoid this company in advance."
"It seems to be called 'Shenyan,' a cosmetics company, and it's quite big."
Several girls nearby immediately erupted in protest: "It's a cosmetics company, making money off girls, and treating their female employees like this! Boycott! Boycott! We must boycott! But why does this company name sound familiar?"
It's not just familiar, it's incredibly familiar.
"Divine beauty? Isn't that..." Gao Min turned her head and looked at Ye Wanxi in surprise.
When everyone heard the sound, they subconsciously turned their heads and saw Ye Wanxi, who looked confused and bewildered.
Many people suddenly had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized.
Ye Wanxi was puzzled by everyone's stares and frowned, asking, "Is there something wrong with this company?"
“This is a big problem! Wanxi, have you forgotten? A year ago, a cosmetics company suddenly contacted us, wanting you to be their spokesperson.”
Ye Wanxi thought about it carefully and actually had a vague impression.
When the cosmetics company approached them, her body was still occupied by that wicked thief.
At that time, in addition to the company's requirements, the man also made exorbitant demands and put forward a lot of unreasonable requests to the brand.
That would be fine, but someone took a set of someone else's cosmetics home to try, and then ate something that caused skin allergies.
He then turned around and put the blame on the cosmetics company, demanding a huge sum of money in compensation, otherwise he would expose the matter.
After doing such a stupid thing, he will definitely lose the endorsement in the end.
Not only that, the cosmetics company couldn't swallow this humiliation, and immediately bought a large number of marketing accounts to mock Ye Wanxi for being a drama queen, a big shot, and a green tea.
Moreover, since then, a bunch of seemingly true negative information about Ye Wanxi would be exposed every once in a while, and this continued until Ye Wanxi came back.
Perhaps because of the filter of Director Dou’s daughter, everyone’s eyes on Ye Wanxi suddenly changed.
"Wanxi, you knew all along that this cosmetics company was like this behind the scenes, which is why you refused to endorse their products, right? I knew it! Although you haven't been with the crew for long, your behavior and way of handling things are nothing like the rumors. You don't seem like the kind of person who likes to cause trouble or act like a diva. It's true that you should just listen to the rumors in the industry and not take them too seriously."
Director Dou, who thought he had seen through the truth, even helped Ye Wanxi criticize her agency: "Your company, are you just letting them smear you like this?"
"..." There was no smear campaign or anything like that, it was all someone's own doing!
However, most of the people around believed it, and nodded in agreement. They looked at Ye Wanxi with sympathy, and obviously believed that she was a victim manipulated and smeared by public opinion.
Even Gao Min lowered her head in thought, doubting whether she had really wronged Ye Wanxi. She even pulled Director Dou aside to ask about the time of the lawsuit, wondering if she could use this opportunity to help Ye Wanxi clear her name.
Ye Wanxi: "..."
While the group was talking, Jiang Shaofeng quietly gathered around, staring at Ye Wanxi as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Several people nearby soon noticed his abnormality and their eyes began to wander between the two of them.
Ye Wanxi's mouth twitched slightly. She knew that if she didn't explain things clearly today, there would probably be seven or eight versions of the mystery of her relationship with Jiang Shaofeng before tomorrow.
"You need me for something?"
Jiang Shaofeng was startled, and said with trepidation in his eyes, "Yes, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with."
"You want me to help you find someone?"
“You…” Jiang Shaofeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said, “Yes.”
“You’re scared.” Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow. “Afraid that if they find you, they won’t want you anymore.”
