Chapter 68 Vacation
Yang Xinyi and Zhuo Wenfeng met at a party a year ago. They fell in love at first sight. Zhuo Wenfeng started pursuing her soon after the party. She thought he was handsome and quickly agreed.
At first, Yang Xinyi just wanted to have some fun.
She was still young. If she didn't date more now, she would look back on her first half of life after marriage. Wouldn't it be boring?
She never thought about staying with Zhuo Wenfeng for a long time. In the eyes of fans, he was an unattainable star, but to the Yang family, his conditions were just average. If she wanted to continue to live such a comfortable life, she couldn't go against her family and marry him.
They had no future.
From the beginning, Yang Xinyi understood this very well.
But Zhuo Wenfeng was really good to her. No matter how busy he was at work, he would never forget to call her at night and say goodnight to her. When she was on vacation, no matter what she wanted to eat, no matter how far away she was, whether it was daytime or late at night, he would always drive to buy it for her.
Once it was too late and the store she wanted to eat was closed. He drove half an hour to see the closed door. He didn't want to disappoint her, so he went all the way to the boss's house and asked him to make another meal.
Because there were not enough ingredients, he ran back and forth several times and spent several hours to get the food. When he got home, she had already fallen asleep because she had waited too long. After being woken up, she got angry and didn't eat a single bite of the snacks he had bought with great difficulty.
When she woke up the next day, she had forgotten about being woken up. She only remembered that she had waited for him for a long time and got angry at him, but he didn't complain at all. It was not
until she saw the news report the next day that Yang Xinyi realized how much he had done behind her back, so she found him to verify it. After getting a positive answer, she asked him why he didn't explain anything.
But he smiled and said, "You are also very beautiful when you are angry. I don't want to interrupt you."
She was angry and amused at once, and asked him if he deserved to be scolded. He said he just wanted to be scolded by her. These few simple words made her eyes red, and she said sorry to him.
He just hugged her and said, "I am willing."
When Yang Xinyi first agreed to be Zhuo Wenfeng's girlfriend, she didn't think about loving him, but in the little bits and pieces of getting along, she did fall in love with him.
Sometimes she would even think about giving up everything the family had provided for him and rejecting the idea of marriage, although every time the idea was formed, she would rudely break it up.
On the day of the cruise dinner, she and Zhuo Wenfeng went together, but they did separate several times, and each time for a long time.
This is a very common thing at parties. They are of different genders and in different circles. They can be together on some occasions, and it is better to separate at other times.
She did not doubt that Zhuo Wenfeng would take advantage of the time they were apart to hook up with other women, nor did she think that he would bring them into the same lounge and do intimate things on the same sofa.
So yesterday, when she learned from her friends that Zhuo Wenfeng and Wen Yue were having an affair, and Wen Yue revealed that Zhuo Wenfeng had a night out with three women including her, she was angry, but when Zhuo Wenfeng came and swore that he really didn't expect there would be other people in the lounge, but he really didn't bring any woman other than her into the lounge.
Wen Yue said that to the reporters because she was angry and wanted to destroy him after she failed to seduce him, so she talked nonsense in front of the reporters.
Yang Xinyi didn't know Wen Yue, so she was naturally willing to believe Zhuo Wenfeng, but her trust didn't last for a long time, and she saw a newspaper breaking the news that Zhuo Wenfeng seduced women to bribe directors and producers. After learning
about these things, her first reaction was to call Zhuo Wenfeng to question him, but before she took any action, she was persuaded by her mother.
Her mother said that what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Didn't she want to give up her current comfortable life for Zhuo Wenfeng and refuse the marriage? Why not take this opportunity to take a good look at whether this man is worth it.
Yang Xinyi was shocked when she heard this, because she herself would suspect that she was crazy when she thought of the idea, so she never revealed those thoughts to anyone.
But Mrs. Yang said calmly: "You are my daughter. Others don't know what you think in your heart, so how can I not see through it? Since you like him, why not treat this matter as a test. After passing it, I will no longer oppose you to be with him, and I will also persuade your father, but if he is not a test, I hope you can forget him, okay?"
Yang Xinyi was worried in her heart, and she agreed after hearing this.
That night, Yang Xinyi slept very uneasily. Emotionally, she felt that Zhuo Wenfeng was not such a cruel person, but rationally, she felt that flies would not bite flawless eggs.
Zhuo Wenfeng had been in trouble one after another. Was he really innocent?
The next morning, Yang Xinyi was awakened by a knock on the door. She yawned and went to open the door.
But before she could see the person outside the door, Yang Xinyi was hugged, and then her mother's voice rang in her ears: "Xinyi, cry if you feel bad."
Yang Xinyi's heart skipped a beat, and she stepped out of Mrs. Yang's arms and asked: "Mommy, what happened?"
Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and covered her mouth, choking for a while before saying: "The newspaper is on the coffee table in the living room, go and see it yourself." When Yang Xinyi heard it,
she guessed that the matter must be related to Zhuo Wenfeng, and hurriedly bypassed her mother and went downstairs through the corridor.
When she arrived in the living room, she saw the front-page headline printed on the top of a pile of newspapers before she bent down. Her face changed instantly, and she reached out to pick up the news and quickly browsed it.
After reading the headline of this newspaper, Yang Xinyi looked up and saw the headline of the next different newspaper. The protagonist was still Zhuo Wenfeng, and the content was still sexual bribery, but the name of the bribee had changed.
Realizing something, Yang Xinyi reached out and picked up the newspaper again.
There were still different newspapers below, the protagonist of the headline was still Zhuo Wenfeng, and the content was still sexual bribery. Correspondingly, the name of the bribee had changed again.
And she picked up another newspaper like this. She
kept turning to the last one, and the protagonist of the headline did not change, but the content had changed, from using women for his own profit to cheating on eight women at the same time, and she, Yang Xinyi, was only one-eighth of it.
Yang Xinyi didn't want to admit that it was true, but the eight pictures accompanying this news showed Zhuo Wenfeng's facial features clearly.
Moreover, Yang Xinyi could be sure that the photos were taken in the past six months, because she recognized most of the clothes Zhuo Wenfeng wore in these photos, and even bought several of them.
As for the women in the photos, although her face could not be seen clearly, her figure and clothes showed that they were indeed eight different people.
Besides, she was not stupid, and she could not tell the other seven women apart, so how could she not recognize which woman in the photo was her and which one was not?
In any case, Zhuo Wenfeng's cheating was a foregone conclusion.
It's a pity that she claimed to be carefree and agreed to be with Zhuo Wenfeng just to have fun, but in the end she was still pecked by an eagle's eye. Not only did she invest real feelings, but she was also fooled like a fool for so long.
Thinking of Wen Yue's revelation yesterday that Zhuo Wenfeng brought three women including her into the same lounge, and they were all on the sofa...
Yang Xinyi felt like she was going to vomit.
Seeing Yang Xinyi kneeling beside the tea table and vomiting, Mrs. Yang, who followed, changed her face, hurried forward to help her daughter up, and quickly asked the housekeeper to arrange a driver.
Because of Mrs. Yang's guess, Yang Xinyi was confused on the way until she got the test results to confirm that she was not pregnant, she hugged her mother and burst into tears.
Mrs. Yang felt sorry for her daughter. She hugged her and comforted her, "It's okay. Life is so long, who doesn't meet a few bad men? Zhuo Wenfeng has been arrested, and he will definitely not have a good ending in the future. You just need to live your life well."
Yang Xinyi was stunned and asked, "Was he arrested?"
"Yes, he was arrested. He did so many bad things and the evidence is solid, so of course he would be arrested." Mrs. Yang was worried that her daughter was soft-hearted, so she quickly said, "Don't be confused and feel sorry for him at this time!"
"I don't." Yang Xinyi denied it flatly. After a pause, she said, "Well, he has done so many bad things, he will have to pay the price."
"It's good that you think so." Mrs. Yang said with narrowed eyes.
After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Yang went home and called her cousin who worked in the police department, hoping that he would tell her to investigate Zhuo Wenfeng.
Although Mrs. Yang's cousin's position was not low, the Yang family was rich and the two had always had a warm relationship.
Moreover, Mrs. Yang's request was not high, so she did not ask him to use his power to frame the other party. She only asked for a thorough investigation of Zhuo Wenfeng, which was just a matter of making a phone call. Naturally, he was willing to help and agreed.
...
When Yang Xinyi cried loudly because she saw Zhuo Wenfeng clearly, there were several people in the city who were crying because they saw the news.
But they were not crying because of pain and sadness, but because of joy.
When they were used as tools by Zhuo Wenfeng and sent to those people's beds, they had already cried and felt pain. Even to this day, they are still living in the shadow of the past.
They also had expectations, hoping to see Zhuo Wenfeng suffer the consequences of his evil deeds one day.
But they waited year after year, not only did they not wait for Zhuo Wenfeng to get into trouble, but they also watched him become more and more famous. They no longer dared to have any expectations of retribution for their evil deeds.
They thought they would never see the light of day in their lives.
But they didn't expect that on this day, the news about Zhuo Wenfeng would be everywhere on TV and newspapers.
No, it should be a scandal.
They, the victims, also received calls from the police one after another.
Some people backed off, fearing that after they came forward to accuse Zhuo Wenfeng, their lives, which had finally calmed down, would be disturbed again.
Some people were resolute and felt that as long as Zhuo Wenfeng and the people who assaulted them received the punishment they deserved, they would be willing to live under the criticism of others for the rest of their lives.
However, the situation was much better than they imagined. Taking into account the special case, the police agreed to apply to the court for a closed trial and protect their personal information throughout the process.
Therefore, except for those victims who already had families, most of the other victims chose to attend the trial.
While the police were lobbying the victims, the arrested people were also not quiet.
It was okay for others. The two senior officials had good connections and money. Although they were taken to the police station, they could still arrange for their families outside through lawyers to find ways to bribe the judge or find ways to shut up the victims.
It was just that before they were arrested, the TV stations and newspapers related to them did intend to help suppress the news after receiving evidence of their crimes.
But with their arrest, the friendship in the past also vanished.
Various companies took out the evidence that Wen Yue asked the system to send, and reported that they were involved in the bribery of Zhuo Wenfeng.
This wave of reports is not over yet. There are reporters squatting at the homes and companies of the two high-level relatives and the lawyers employed by them, wanting to know their subsequent plans.
In fact, this is a routine operation. These squatting reporters are not sure that they can take pictures of the big melon, but they are in their line of work. Isn’t the content of their work to keep squatting for news-shooting news-breaking news?
Those who can't stand loneliness and disappointment have already changed their careers. The rest of the people, even if they know that there is only a 1% or even a 1/1000 chance of success, have enough patience to keep waiting.
Just two days after the two senior executives were arrested, they filmed important news.
And they filmed two pieces at a time.
With the exposure of the senior executives' family members bribing and threatening the victims, the two senior executives' calculations were completely thwarted. The film and television company where the two worked was affected by this incident, and the stocks, which were originally in the red, could no longer stop the downward trend.
Seeing this, the boss of the film and television company quickly deceived and forced them to sell their company shares and then removed their positions, wanting to completely draw a line with them.
The same is true for other bribe-takers. As early as after they were arrested, their companies issued statements one after another, removing all their positions, and even the director who was filming was kicked out of the crew.
Before the trial, many of these people had family changes. Some were divorced, and some were preparing to immigrate abroad with their wives. Of course, some wives refused to leave and kept running around for them.
But the evidence was conclusive, and no matter how hard they ran around, it was useless.
When the trial started, these bribe-takers were sentenced to one to ten years according to the severity of the circumstances. Zhuo Wenfeng had the heaviest crime and was sentenced the longest, with more than ten years in prison. After
the verdict came down, Zhuo Wenfeng and others were naturally dissatisfied, so they appealed.
But they were self-defeating. After the appeal, their sentences not only did not decrease, but were even increased by six months to three years. As
soon as the news came out, the citizens of Hong Kong felt very happy and wanted to present a banner to the judge. The victims also cried for joy when no one was around, believing the saying "evil deeds will be punished with evil deeds".
When the Zhuo Wenfeng bribery incident was making headlines, the wealthy circle in Hong Kong was also not calm.
Although Wen Yue asked the system to block the women related to Zhuo Wenfeng, the codes also vary. The system almost blocked the upper body of the women involved in the bribery incident, while the women related to private life were only blocked.
Therefore, it is not difficult for people who are close to each other to recognize them through photos, so these people's homes have more or less broken out into marital wars.
Some of these couples who broke out in the war fought so hard that they signed divorce papers; some continued to live in disharmony after the quarrel;
There are also people like Chen Ershao and Miss Cai, who are not satisfied with quarreling at home and start a war of words through newspapers. They are about to get divorced, but because the cooperation between the two companies has not been interrupted, they have to continue to hold their noses to maintain the marriage and play their own games.
It can be said that life is full of different forms.
...
Compared with the 7 million melon points obtained from the Guangming Charity Foundation, the 2 million melon points that Wen Yue obtained from a series of melons related to Zhuo Wenfeng do not seem to be much, but compared with other melons, it is not a small amount.
Moreover, there are too many victims of the Guangming Charity Foundation melon, and many people have not been rescued until now. In comparison, Wen Yuening would rather get less melon points than let such a thing happen again.
But Wen Yue knew that this was impossible. There are far more dark areas in this world than people know. She has seen mostly light in her past and present lives because she has always lived in a peaceful and stable country.
Wen Yue did not regard herself as a savior, believing that she could save people who were in dire straits, but as long as the system does not leave, she will definitely expose the melons when she clocks in and do what she can.
She does not seek to be a hero, as long as she has a clear conscience.
Having said that, Wen Yue was on vacation when she counted the melons. Before she
traveled through time, Wen Yue did not think that she was a homebody, but the fact is that she has been through time for half a year and has not left Hong Kong Island for personal reasons.
It happened that Zhuang Zhijun gave Wen Yue two VIP cards of the resort villa to express his apology, and Yi Huai came back early, so she discussed with him to take two days off to stay for two days.
In fact, the reason why Zhuang Zhijun sent the VIP card and Yi Huai returned early was similar, both because of her affair with Zhuo Wenfeng.
Although Zhuang Zhijun did not intentionally put the reporter on the cruise ship, he was the host of the banquet, and Wen Yue was a guest he specially invited. However, she was secretly photographed at the banquet, so he naturally had to express his gratitude.
Of course, the expression was not two VIP cards. After all, Wen Yue was the daughter of a wealthy family. It was impossible for her to be bribed by two coupons. This was at most a bonus. More importantly, he admitted that he owed Wen Yue a favor.
Although Zhuang Zhijun's style seems like a dandy rich second-generation, the favor he personally admitted is still very important. After all, he is the heir of Zhuang's Pictures.
Zhuang's Films is the largest film production company in Hong Kong, and it also has an agency business. At least one-third of the popular stars in Hong Kong's entertainment industry belong to them.
Therefore, Zhuang Zhijun's favor is very important.
Whether it is to find a spokesperson for Lirong Department Store, or Wen Yue wants to invest in a movie to make some money one day, she can use this favor.
Although favors are easy to lose, and the trouble brought to Wen Yue this time is not big, even if Zhuang Zhijun feels guilty, she can't ask for unlimited benefits from him.
But as long as Wen Yue does not use favors to make Zhuang Zhijun give up benefits, it can only be said that there is a give-and-take cooperation, and it will not consume favors.
Wen Yue was not narrow-minded enough to use personal connections to get promoted. She mainly wanted to have a good relationship with Zhuang Zhijun. After all, before the decline of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, Zhuang's Films was considered a leader in the industry.
Making friends with the future head of a leading enterprise may not be very beneficial, but it certainly has no disadvantages.
Wen Yue believed that Zhuang Zhijun had the same idea, which was why he came to apologize, promised favors, and gave cards. She also happily accepted his apology.
Yi Huai went to the mainland in September and originally planned to return in late October. However, after hearing the news, he returned two days earlier than planned.
But he returned early not only because of the scandal with Zhuo Wenfeng, but also because there were quite a few men who wanted to hook up with Wen Yue during his business trip.
There is no shortage of people in Hong Kong who want to fight for twenty years less, and they are all very active and don't care whether the target has a family or not.
When Wen Yue first came here, no one flirted with her because she lived a secluded life and only went between the newspaper company and home every day. Those people had no chance to flirt with her.
And at that time, she was only labeled as the daughter of the richest man and the wife of the newly rich man.
But in the past six months, Wen Yue has been very popular. Not only is she a regular customer of newspapers, but her position in Li Rong Department Store and even Li Rong Group is becoming more and more stable. In the future, she may inherit the Wen family and become the new richest man.
If you can hook up with her, there will definitely be many benefits. Those who seek fame can become regular customers of newspapers, and those who seek profit think that when Wen Yue inherits the Wen family, any leak in her hands will make them prosperous.
In addition, Wen Yue had publicly stated in an interview that she liked handsome men, so those who were confident in their looks took action.
It was okay when Yi Huai was in Hong Kong, but he was afraid of offending him and being retaliated against, and that he would die before he could get his fame, wealth and honor, so he was restrained. But as soon as he went on a business trip to the mainland, all the evil spirits came out.
These evil spirits are not only limited to fame and wealth. Wen Yue is outstanding in appearance, and this alone is enough to attract men.
It just so happens that Wen Yue has had a lot of social banquets recently, so the probability of meeting men who are attentive to her has naturally increased greatly.
Wen Yue has always just refused and not accepted this.
First of all, although those people feel good about themselves, they don’t really meet Wen Yue’s aesthetics. Apart from anything else, their height is indeed a bit off.
Hong Kong has a low latitude, and most of the people who migrated here in the past 100 years are from the south. They don't have much advantage in terms of height. Even for male stars in the entertainment industry, a height of 1.75 meters is considered good, and there are only a handful of people over 1.8 meters.
Wen Yue is a beauty lover. Not only does she have requirements for appearance, but she is also very strict about height, which must not be less than 1.8 meters.
Secondly, Wen Yue's view on love is relatively conservative. She thinks it is normal for people to fall in love with different people at different times, but if they fall in love with different people at the same time, it will be a big problem.
If her relationship with Yi Huai breaks down and they get divorced one day, she will definitely not stay with him forever, and will go to contact other men. But now they are living a good life, and she is not sensitive to these.
Yi Huai understands Wen Yue and is very confident in her.
It's just that the distance is too far, and when he was far away in the mainland, he would receive calls from friends or partners every now and then, telling him who has been courting his wife again, and he still felt a little restless.
So even though Wen Yue quickly refuted the rumor on the day the scandal broke out, Yi Huai still decided to come back early.
He must let those monsters in Hong Kong who are ready to make a move know that he was just on a business trip, not dead.
After Yi Huai came back, he accompanied Wen Yue to two banquets in a high-profile manner. The media followed up and reported on it several times. After confirming that the two were still in love, those monsters finally stopped showing up.
Because Yi Huai had finally returned after a business trip of nearly a month, and happened to receive a VIP card of a resort villa sent by Zhuang Zhijun, thinking that she had not relaxed much since work, Wen Yue suggested to stay in the resort villa for two days on the weekend.
It's just that her schedule is easy to adjust, but Yi Huai just came back from the mainland. Some of the work can be handled remotely, but some of the work can only be piled up. So he has been very busy since he came back, and he didn't find time until early November.
The resort is built on the high southwest side of Lantau Island, overlooking the mountain and the sea. It can not only meet the needs of lazy people who just want to lie on the beach and sunbathe, but also attract hiking enthusiasts. Therefore, the resort quickly became a popular tourist destination in Hong Kong after its completion.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether the villa business is good or not. What's important is that on the second day of moving in, Wen Yue, a lazy person who just wants to lie down even when she goes out to play, was deceived by Yi Huai, a fitness enthusiast, to go hiking.
Wen Yue was very excited when she set out, but she began to regret it as soon as she reached the foot of the mountain. It's not easy to climb at this height.
Yi Huai was still urging her: "Since we are here, we should do something, right?"
God damn it, we are here!
Wen Yue thought so in her heart, but she still couldn't resist the temptation, stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, and rushed over!
