Chapter 218: She's anything but ordinary
Chapter 218: She's anything but ordinary
In the end, Wen Jin also became a minor internet sensation, thanks to An Yu, who was on the other side of the world, who told her about it.
She got a new phone, and hasn't had time to log into many of her accounts on various platforms yet.
Adding to the troubles caused by Tang Man, Wen Jin was also in a bad mood.
The best way for her to cope with a bad mood is to throw herself into her work.
They kept taking on outdoor interviews.
Wen Jin went to all those interviews that were far away, had many twists and turns, and that others were unwilling to attend.
When Wen Jin returned to the TV station exhausted, she received a call from An Yu who had traveled across the ocean.
"Baby, are you on your way to becoming famous?"
Wen Jin looked bewildered, her mind filled with the out-of-towner she had interviewed that day, who spoke in a dialect she couldn't understand at all.
"What?"
"Sis, you really don't go online?"
An Yu was convinced; she had indeed overestimated Wen Jinye.
"Why don't you check your phone? Did you switch from an antique smartphone to an old-fashioned flip phone? News about you in Liuyuwan is trending online. You're getting tons of praise online because of your absolutely stunning and authoritative face and the super professional reporting!"
"And I saw that your Weibo side account has also been exposed, and you've gained hundreds of thousands of followers."
An Yu was very proud, and her voice was particularly excited, "I even accidentally liked a post online praising you, and some directors I've worked with even came to me to ask if I knew you, and asked me to ask if you had any plans to enter the industry!"
"They were still talking about you in our high school alumni group today."
"Baby, you are absolutely amazing!"
Wen Jin was also confused. After hanging up the phone with An Yu, she searched her name online.
really--
I found an overwhelming number of posts.
Wen Jin also clicked into Weibo and logged in.
I was instantly shocked by the little red dot that appeared.
She posts very few Weibo posts.
A quick flip through the pages reveals photos that An Yu took of her back in high school.
She stood in the school corridor, leaning against the window, smiling gently.
The photo captures this moment.
Fleeting light and shadow, blurry image quality.
It was impossible to see the sensitivity and inferiority complex in the girl's eyes, or the sadness that seemed to weigh heavily on her like dark clouds.
This Weibo post received the most likes and comments.
Wen Jin also flipped through it roughly.
Holy crap, who would understand?! I was first blown away by her on the news, and after following her all this way, I found out she's actually my senior!
[Is this the school uniform for the class of 2019? I'm from the class of 2022.]
[Report from the Class of 2024: I miss my high school so much!]
[This is hilarious! How did this turn into a school reunion? I'm also from Jiangbei No.1 Middle School, and I was in the same class as Reporter Wen!]
Someone replied below: "So, are you very close to her?"
No, not at all. She was very introverted in high school, with only one close friend. Now she's in the entertainment industry, and her career is doing quite well lately, but I won't go into details. Before, she rarely looked people in the eye when she spoke to them, always keeping her head down, and she always seemed unhappy. It's so good to see her like this now.
[Help! This beautiful woman must have suffered a lot!!]
[That seems to be the case. Her family background was very difficult; she struggled to even pay the 100 yuan class fee several times.]
Finally, the person posted a high school graduation photo.
Wen Jin also stood in the third row with An Yu.
As a liberal arts class, their class was full of beautiful girls.
Wen Jin wasn't in good shape at that time, and at first glance, she wasn't really that stunning.
But the more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes.
Her features were so exquisite that it was impossible to find a single flaw.
This same photo was also saved on another phone.
Meanwhile, Xu Xiangbai was still sending some group messages to Fu Yanjing.
"Our high school alumni group has been buzzing these past few days, saying that Jiangbei No.1 High School has produced a lot of talented people. There are rich second-generation heirs who have inherited their family fortunes, remarkable actors in the entertainment industry, and elites in all walks of life."
He glanced at the man who was engrossed in looking at some document on his phone screen. "Oh, your legend is still on the list."
"Of course, we now have a new name, which is our junior schoolmate, Wen Jinye."
Seeing Fu Yanjing's indifferent reaction, Xu Xiangbai clicked his tongue and helplessly scratched his hair back.
"Brother Jing, aren't you going to forgive me yet?"
Their friendship of so many years would certainly not be affected by He Jiayu's incident.
However, Xu Xiangbai had never discussed this matter face-to-face with Fu Yanjing in detail, and Xu Xiangbai did not want to let it pass by in ambiguity.
He explained, "I didn't intentionally hide that from you. It was mainly because of your determination to return to Hong Kong at the time. Telling you about it would only cause you trouble. Officially, He Jiayu is indeed the company's cash cow, and the company's public relations department will always protect her and favor her. Personally, I was obliged to help her after all, and besides, I also resolved the Wen reporter's matter properly."
"Whether you went after He Jiayu or the He family, I didn't get involved anymore. You don't know, He Jiayu even had to ask my grandmother for help."
"She's an old professor with a head full of academic theories, how could she know anything about the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry? She probably thought I'd cheated on her by having an affair with He Jiayu, damn it!"
Xu Xiangbai exaggeratedly gestured.
"That stick was so long, it almost hit my back."
Fu Yanjing's gaze, which was slowly tracing Wen Jinye's face through the blurry class photo, finally stopped.
He calmly turned off his phone screen, his tone low and composed, "I don't blame you. Ultimately, it's my fault."
Xu Xiangbai's words just now did indeed seem to be an attempt to justify himself.
But Fu Yanjing's candid acceptance of the blame truly shocked him once again.
Who is Fu Yanjing?
Eight hundred years after a person dies, their mouth is still so hard it could break a coffin.
Given his status, there is no right or wrong to speak of.
He doesn't need to admit his mistakes to anyone.
He has the confidence to take responsibility for all his mistakes.
Xu Xiangbai suddenly smiled.
Fu Yanjing glanced at him and said, "Speak your mind."
Xu Xiangbai shook his head, his gaze particularly meaningful, "The iceberg has melted, which is truly a wonderful thing. You've also stepped down from your pedestal."
"I don't know whether to admire reporter Wen or you."
Fu Yanjing tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, and said self-deprecatingly, "What do I have to admire?"
If he had been less aloof, with a beautiful woman in his arms, he and Wen Jin wouldn't have ended up like this.
"Did you know that it is very brave for an ordinary person to love rock climbing, but it also takes a lot of courage for someone in a position of power to bow down?"
We must abandon the complex power balances behind it.
Family prejudice and accusations.
And the change in one's own attitude.
Love that puts you in someone else's shoes.
All of this requires shedding a part of yourself.
Those caught in the vortex of power find it difficult to have pure emotions, and also difficult to see things clearly.
Xu Xiangbai added, "Of course, anyone who has met reporter Wen knows that she is not an ordinary person."
