Stop at all costs
"Really? Who is her new love?" Bing Jie stared at him and asked the question he was most curious about.
Meng Jingxuan wailed in pain, quite puzzled: "Ancestor, now is not the time to be jealous, we have to think of a solution." He pulled Bing Jie to sit down, then took out his mobile phone and showed him the news on the massacre page.
Large, eye-catching words were embedded in two pictures: one was of him and Hua Shaoshi, secretly photographed, with words like "secretly married couple," "wealthy couple," and "perfectly matched" written on it; the other was of the two of them cuddling intimately after getting out of the car. The angle of that photo was also perfect. Qi Jixin smiled with a smile, leaning in the woman's arms and looking up at him, who was naturally looking at her with a doting expression. Even if they didn't deserve the words "secret couple," everyone knew what was going on at a glance.
Despite the tense situation, Bing Jie acted like an emperor without any nervousness. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the secretly taken photo of him getting off the car over and over again.
Zooming in on the image, after looking at the people, I looked at the surrounding greenery and buildings.
"No..., we can't keep staring at this, right?" Meng Jingxuan smacked his lips and spoke. Even he, the good brother who knew Bing Jie best, couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the moment.
"She doesn't have a house in this complex, so this is that man's home." Bing Jie spoke slowly in a voice that was almost calm and ruthless. Meng Jingxuan blinked hard, not understanding what he meant. After thinking for a long time, he continued, "So you want me to check him out?"
Bing Jie rubbed his eyebrows, which were in so much pain that he couldn't ignore them, with one hand, nodded, and then turned on his mobile phone.
Meng Jingxuan usually just acts like a playboy. He is good at eating, drinking and having fun, and he has an outrageous number of connections. He only works hard on what he wants to do. In addition, Bing Jie is his best friend, and he also wants Bing Jie to lead him in investment and make a fortune. So he pays attention to everything about Bing Jie.
So, when Bing Jie didn't say anything, Meng Jingxuan kept talking about the next plan.
First of all, I have to clarify my relationship with Hua Shaoshi. To put it bluntly, the two of them have nothing to do with each other; then I have to communicate with Qi Jixin as soon as possible. Everyone can misunderstand, but Qi Jixin must not be misunderstood.
"Speaking of her, how's your relationship going lately?"
Bing Jie looked at the message and absentmindedly dropped a thunderclap: "The photo of Hua Shaoshi and I was taken by someone sent by her agent."
Meng Jingxuan stood up suddenly, his mouth wide open in shock, then sat down and slapped his knee, indicating that he understood everything: "So, sister-in-law and this guy are serious? Are they throwing you and Hua Shaoshi out to block the attack first?"
The unread messages of Xuan Jiazhuo and Qi Jixin were placed next to each other. After reading all the other messages, Bing Jie stopped reading the unread messages of these two people, looked up at Meng Jingxuan, and denied it categorically.
"It's definitely not them. Perhaps the person they hired turned against us."
As for the person who bribed the reporter, Bing Jie also had a candidate in mind - in this chaotic situation, there were only three people who were the complete beneficiaries, his parents and Hua Shaoshi.
Meng Jingxuan covered his mouth and thought. Bing Jie opened Qi Jixin's chat box and saw the message she sent at around five in the morning. It was nothing more than defending Xuan Jiazhuo. He seemed to see Qi Jixin's anxious look at the time from the polite and respectful words.
How do you handle your scandal?
Four or five hours had passed since she sent the message, but Bing Jie hadn't noticed any movement from Qi Jixin, which puzzled him. Work started at 3 p.m. today, and Bing Jie couldn't wait until then to ask her about her situation.
Qi Jixin replied very quickly. Almost as soon as Bing Jie sent the message, the chat box changed to "typing..."
[I don't have anything to publicize. He is indeed my boyfriend, so there's nothing wrong with making it public.]
Bing Jie directly turned his phone upside down beside him and discussed with Meng Jingxuan in a serious manner, asking him to check this person immediately. Before Meng Jingxuan stood up and left, he gave one more instruction.
"Get the clarification note to Hua Shaoshi ready first. I'm going to meet her and then I'll start clarifying things."
Meng Jingxuan frowned and nodded, then turned back and sat down. "You must be on guard against others. Be careful when you see her, and do it as soon as possible. The longer you delay clarifying things, the more likely she will dig up those groundless rumors from the past. If your sister-in-law finds out, you'll be left with no way to defend yourself."
Hua Shaoshi fabricated very complete evidence back then. The various itineraries overlapped, and she was also very close to Bing Jie's parents. If the news was spread casually, it would almost prove that she was Bing Jie's real wife.
Unless Bing Jie personally exposes this lie, Hua Shaoshi will then implicate Qi Jixin, which is something Bing Jie absolutely does not want to see.
Bing Jie knew clearly that they had taken advantage of this point and that was why they dared to expose the two events of yesterday. Yes, he was certain that they were the masterminds behind these two pieces of news.
"By the way, there is something more important for you to do right now." Bing Jie didn't know what he remembered, and he actually asked him to put aside the investigation of the pretty boy.
Xuan Jiazhuo was originally leading people in writing a public relations document, but he received an urgent notice from the director of the new drama, saying that the investors behind the scenes were very dissatisfied with the scandal between the two leading actors and wanted to hold a meeting to discuss the matter immediately.
She knew very well that the contract usually had detailed provisions for such emergencies. For such scandals that affected TV publicity, it all depended on whether the investors wanted to hold them accountable. With the contract in hand, they would basically win the lawsuit.
But what puzzled Xuan Jiazhuo was that the investor of this drama was obviously Bing Jie. Did he really want to hold anyone accountable? Or...
There were quite a few people at the emergency meeting. Both Bing Jie and Qi Jixin brought their lawyers with them. Together with the director, the deputy director, and the investor behind the scenes, they held a meeting before noon.
Speaking of which, Meng Jingxuan couldn't even remember the full name of the company under his own name. He usually entrusted everything to Bing Jie to help him. In return, he formed the entire team of this drama as an investor. Now, of course, Meng Jingxuan had to come to the meeting.
When Qi Jixin arrived, almost everyone in the conference room was present, and the director stood up to introduce her.
"This is Mr. Meng, the investor of our drama."
For important figures like these, there was no need to mention their names when introducing them. Qi Jixin just responded with a polite smile and sat down nearby.
"Gentlemen, the reason this is an emergency meeting is because we need to present a reasonable explanation to our investors before your two companies launch any public relations measures. We have only one request: do not affect the TV promotion."
The lawyer brought by Meng Jingxuan spoke righteously, and Meng Jingxuan was only responsible for keeping a stern face, occasionally glancing at Bing Jie on his left and Qi Jixin on his right.
It had indeed been a long time since Meng Jingxuan last saw Qi Jixin. His memories of Qi Jixin were fragmentary:
At first, she was a shining little star, confident and free and easy, standing next to the favored son of heaven Bing Jie, she was also quite eye-catching; later they got married, and when they saw each other again, she had become gentle and virtuous, almost a completely different person. Her sharp tongue was no longer there, and Meng Jingxuan just thought it was due to the magic of happiness; the last time he saw her, she was lying in a trance on the hospital bed, and Meng Jingxuan only exchanged a few words with her and hurried away.
Looking at Qi Jixin, who was now radiant again, Meng Jingxuan sighed in his heart again as he did back then. He understood why Bing Jie liked her so much. Her beauty, both in shades and in shades, was certainly an invincible weapon, but what was even more captivating was her intelligence and unyielding temperament.
Qi Jixin turned around and exchanged glances with Xuan Jiazhuo, seeming to have some complaints about what the lawyer said.
Xuan Jiazhuo's gaze was actually always moving between Bing Jie and President Meng. She didn't know President Meng who was sitting in the middle, but her intuition told her that these two people definitely knew each other, and they might even be close friends... She nodded to Qi Jixin and took over the man's words.
"Let me first explain our PR strategy. Our company unanimously agreed that there's no need to hide anything, so we're going to use this opportunity to make their relationship public."
Bing Jie looked at Xuan Jiazhuo's resounding words, and in the blink of an eye he turned to look at Meng Jingxuan. Meng Jingxuan naturally knew what to say.
"That's absolutely not possible. If you insist on doing this, it will be a breach of contract." Meng Jingxuan leaned back, his expression beginning to show impatience. "Let me be honest with you, I spent so much money on this TV, and there can't be any mistakes. Not only do you have to clarify things, but you also have to handle this for me."
Meng Jingxuan was acting too much and pointed at Bing Jie with some resentment, knocking on the table.
"Mr. Meng, our company has already written a clarification article. It can be sent out after it is approved at the meeting." Bing Jie's special assistant immediately responded. Obviously, his acting skills are also very good.
Bing Jie didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just looked at Qi Jixin who was trapped by the formality. He didn't mean to make things difficult for her, he just didn't want her to announce her relationship with her childhood sweetheart.
It's ridiculous to say that he had no idea about that person's existence before. Qi Jixin protected Yan Jia very well and never revealed any information to him.
Compared to Qi Jixin, the person involved, Xuan Jiazhuo beside her seemed to be more tormented. She frowned and looked at Bing Jie and President Meng almost gritting her teeth. However, Qi Jixin patted Xuan Jiazhuo's shoulder soothingly and turned to assure President Meng.
"The contract is in place, and we will abide by it." Before Meng Jingxuan could breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Jixin added slowly, "However, there are many vague clauses in the contract, such as how long our cooperation will end. Since you all happen to be here, let's work out the specific details together."
Meng Jingxuan was in a state of panic. He raised his hand and pressed his solar plexus, then turned to look at Bing Jie. The latter just looked calm as usual. Bing Jie knew that Meng Jingxuan could not handle the big thing, so he answered Qi Jixin.
"Of course, then let's leave a few lawyers here to discuss it." Bing Jie finalized the situation, and Meng Jingxuan also said the conclusion he was told: "I'll treat you two actors to dinner together."
Agreeing to the lawyer's negotiation was already something they had not expected, so they couldn't allow the damage to escalate any further. The most urgent task at the moment was to get Qi Jixin away.
Xuan Jiazhuo naturally disagreed a hundred percent, but given the situation, she couldn't suddenly jump out to stop it, so she could only watch Qi Jixin agree easily.
