Someone took a picture and posted it online, which instantly sparked widespread ridicule.
Ji Yu scrolled down and saw the comments on this post.
"Why use Mr. Zhou's profile picture in the product promotional image? I admit he is quite handsome, but as a consumer, I want to see new product details and specific release dates, OK?"
"Yeah, who would be interested in a man who already has a fiancée and want to buy products just from a side profile photo?"
"Could it be that Mr. Zhou thinks he's very handsome and personally projected this onto the big screen?"
Ji Yu was dumbfounded.
Zhou Yanci clenched his fists in anger.
He became widely known after his dramatic rescue and pursuit of Shang Wu three years ago.
Over the past three years, his deep affection has gone viral, and everyone praises him as a good man.
This is the first time Zhou Yanci has been publicly ridiculed.
Realizing he was genuinely angry, Ji Yu immediately shook her head and quickly pointed to the advertising manager behind him.
"he……"
The manager interrupted: "To avoid mistakes, I called you to confirm the content to be placed on the city's large screen and recorded the whole conversation. Mr. Zhou has already listened to the recording; it was you who made the decision to place it. Don't try to pin it on me."
Faced with the manager's icy expression, Ji Yu had no way to refute him and her face turned pale.
Zhou Yanci rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
"Go, find someone to find out where Shang Wu is. I'll go and bring her back myself."
Xiao Dong agreed and left with the advertising manager.
After everyone left, Zhou Yanci stared intently at Ji Yu: "With your work ability, you still want to replace Shang Wu as the director of the jewelry department? I think even if we kick Shang Wu out in the future, the jewelry department can't be handed over to you. Just be a designer in peace!"
He turned and left without looking back.
Ji Yu's face was ashen, her teeth clenched tightly; she was about to explode with anger.
She truly never expected things to turn out this way.
How could you mess up so many things in a row!
This caused Zhou Yanci to lose all trust in her.
Ji Yu sat down with regret.
...
Meanwhile, at the guesthouse.
Shang Wu didn't care how chaotic the outside world was.
She spent the whole day picking elm seeds with the guesthouse owner, washing them clean, coating them in flour, and steaming them to eat.
After finishing her meal, Shang Wu took a book and lay down in the attic of the guesthouse to read, slowly turning on her phone.
The phone rang immediately the next second.
It's Zhou Yanci's work.
Shang Wu's eyes turned cold as she answered the phone, her tone devoid of emotion: "Speak."
Zhou Yanci paused, as if frozen by her words, and after a two-second pause, her tone softened: "Awu, where are you now? I can't find you anywhere. You haven't abandoned me, have you?"
"What do you mean by 'want' or 'don't want'? Didn't President Zhou break up with me?" Shang Wu scoffed.
Zhou Yanci let out a sigh of relief: "We're about to get married, how could I bear to break up with you? I was just saying that in anger, Awu, stop making a scene, please come back."
"I'm on vacation, and you've suspended me. What am I supposed to do back there? Don't bother me while I'm having fun."
Shang Wu impatiently took the phone away, about to hang up.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Zhou Yanci suddenly raised his voice.
Shang Wu almost pressed the hang-up button: "Is there anything else?"
"Awu, tell me, how can you come back to work? You don't even know, Ji Yu is a useless piece of trash, she's messed everything up. Come back, do you really have the heart to watch the jewelry department in chaos?"
Zhou Yanci's words were not only meant to coax her back, but also carried a hint of disdain for Ji Yu's genuine feelings.
While Shang Wu was on the phone with him, she had already seen the message sent by A Ying, who gave a full report on the jewelry department's affairs that day.
She narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "You just suspended me like that? You can't resolve this chaotic situation, so you send me back? Zhou Yanci, do you really like me? Or are you just using my value on Chengzhou?"
Zhou Yanci's breath hitched, and she was speechless. After a couple of seconds of guilt, she tried to explain, "Awu, you're really wronging me. I only called you because I knew that the jewelry department was also your hard work. You underestimate me. I can still afford this loss."
"I don't want to hear your explanation."
Fearing that he was pushing too hard, Shang Wu changed his tone, becoming wistful and forlorn.
"You deliberately seduced me and ruined our relationship. Did you ever think about my feelings? When I broke up with you, did you try to keep me? No, instead you suspended me from my job and forced me to back down."
“Zhou Yanci, I am not a puppet that you can summon and dismiss at will. I am a person with my own dignity. No matter how grateful I am to you or how much I like you, I cannot pretend that nothing happened.”
The more Zhou Yanci listened, the more inexplicably depressed he felt.
"Awu, I..."
He couldn't refute it, and even wanted to bow his head and apologize to Shang Wu, completely forgetting his original intention to subdue Shang Wu completely.
Shang Wu took a deep breath and then changed the subject.
"Promise me two things, and I'll go back to work."
