"What did you guess?" Although she was Wen Yan's assistant who spent every day with her, He Xing's curiosity about her boss was no less than that of netizens.
"Yan Yan, are you talking about the tangerines and that tissue?"
“That’s right, they guessed it perfectly. At the time, your assistant and other staff were not inside, and there were no trash cans nearby. My white pants were also stained, so Mr. Shen put the tissue in his own pocket. It was in my pocket at first.”
"That……"
"Hey, you don't think the same way as the CP fans, do you? Actually, if I were wearing black pants that day, I would have done the same."
"That's true, I can do that too."
"Should we clarify something here? There have already been a lot of rumors about your relationship online recently, and now the real-life couple status between you and Teacher Shen has become even more popular."
"Actually, I've taken a look, and Teacher Shen's fans are quite rational, with relatively few people resorting to insults. But I'm worried that some people might be up to no good. I've seen a few of Xu Letian's fans already jumping around and throwing mud at us."
"But they're no longer a threat. I've already arranged for people to report those accounts. Their language is too vulgar and they have absolutely no manners. They're easy to report."
Wen Yan considered for two seconds.
"Let's discuss it with Yulong when we get to the company. I find it quite annoying to think about dealing with these things all the time TT"
"Okay, are you tired? Why don't you rest for a while? I'll call you when it's time."
Wen Yan nodded, put on her headphones, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.
As soon as Qin Yulong entered the company, her assistant appeared.
However, she wasn't there to pick up Wen Yan, but to discuss work matters with He Xing.
Seeing that the two of them went to another conference room, Wen Yan went to find Qin Yulong by herself.
After knocking twice, Wen Yan pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as she entered, she saw Su Yang.
"Mom?" Wen Yan immediately strode over to Su Yang. "What are you doing here? I was wondering why Yu Long got rid of He Xing. Turns out she was hiding a great beauty in the office."
Su Yang was amused by Wen Yan's words.
"You're so sweet-talking. Come and sit down. I happened to be meeting a client nearby today, and I was thinking of stopping by to see Yulong afterward. I didn't expect you to be here too. Yulong also said that Jinghe will be going back to the company later. It's rare to see all three of you at once."
"No wonder you're smiling so happily, Mom."
"Yes. Come and have some dessert, I brought it especially for you."
"Okay. And Yulong, have you eaten yet?"
"No, Yulong said she'll eat together when you come over."
As Su Yang spoke, she extended her hand to Qin Yulong, inviting her two daughters to sit beside her.
Wen Yan only remembered after she had already taken a bite of the dessert.
"Should we wait for Second Brother to come along? Wouldn't that be a bit unfair?"
"It's okay, just leave him a little."
"Let's keep this one. It looks nice, and it's also the color Second Brother likes."
Before Wen Yan could finish speaking, Qin Yulong glanced at her phone and said, "He's here. He'll be up right away."
"Did you let him come straight here?" Su Yang asked Qin Yulong. "Shouldn't he go and discuss some business first?"
Qin Yulong put away her phone: "I also have something to discuss with him."
Su Yang nodded: "Alright. Since you're all here, I also have something to say."
Wen Yan looked at Su Yang and then at Qin Yulong: "…………What are you two planning to say? I'm so curious."
Qin Yulong replied calmly, "You'll find out soon enough."
Sure enough, Shen Jinghe arrived at the office shortly afterward.
"Mom, you're here too."
"Yes, I just stopped by. Come and sit down. Your sisters specially saved some dessert for you, have a taste."
As they were talking, Qin Yulong had already brought Shen Jinghe a cup of hot tea.
Shen Jinghe reached out and took it, getting straight to the point: "Thank you. By the way, what did you call me over to say?"
“It’s like this,” the two immediately switched to a businesslike tone, “I don’t know if you’ve seen the hot topic tonight. It’s the heated discussion about the real-life couple you and Wen Yan are dating.”
Shen Jinghe paused for two seconds, then nodded.
"I've heard about that."
Qin Yulong waited for him to continue, but unexpectedly, he started drinking tea after saying that.
Left with no other option, Qin Yulong had to continue pushing forward.
"The buzz is still quite high, and Wen Yan has been embroiled in various CP (couple) controversies recently. Although this has brought her a lot of attention, it's not the way we want to gain wider recognition. So I'd like to discuss with you whether we can cooperate to clarify this."
“I understand what you mean.” Shen Jinghe put down his teacup. “There are two kinds of clarification. One is when it touches on the other party’s interests, and you directly sever ties and never see each other again. The other is to say something polite, like we’re all friends. Wen Yan and I certainly won’t be the first kind.”
"That's right. This is probably the second, more amicable way of clarifying things between Wen Yan and you."
Shen Jinghe nodded: "Yes. But this is only a temporary solution. There's no way to completely stop rumors on the internet. We can't silence everyone. I've never made any clarifications about this before. In time, people will naturally make their own judgments."
Qin Yulong glanced at Shen Jinghe.
"So you mean you're going to ignore it?"
"Yes, this is the third way. I've never clarified any hypothetical couples online before. If I do this suddenly, I don't know what will come up online. Wen Yan has already been smeared enough, don't you think?"
