Bai Kangyan sneered: "Heh, does President Jin mean that my daughter, Bai Kangyan's daughter, is willing to sacrifice her looks for a role?"
"No, no, it turns out it was all a misunderstanding!"
Bai Kangyan snorted coldly: "Go online and see how many haters are slandering my daughter because of this interview. Do you think you can just dismiss the harm you've done to my daughter with a simple misunderstanding?"
Jin Wancai knew that coming to find Bai Kangyan would inevitably lead to this humiliation.
"Mr. Bai, is this acceptable? As long as you help me get in touch with the people at the UK Foundation, I will hold a press conference this afternoon to personally clarify the relationship between Ms. Bai and me, and also explain that she was chosen for the role in 'The Legend of 1900' based on her personal abilities, not on any underhanded connections!"
Bai Kangyan fell into deep thought.
It only takes one sentence from him to help Jin Wancai contact someone in the UK.
If Jin Wancai could truly explain to Qianmo that his relationship with her was innocent, that would be the best outcome for Qianmo.
“You’ve come at the right time. Mr. Jayne, the CEO of the UK Foundation, will be in the capital at 2 p.m. I can introduce you to him. However, you need to hold a press conference first to clarify your relationship with my daughter, otherwise this matter is off the table.”
"Okay, okay, no problem. As soon as I meet Mr. Jayne, I will hold a press conference to clarify this matter."
Bai Kangyan gave Jin Wancai a cold glance.
"No, you must schedule the clarification press conference for 10 a.m.!"
Jin Wancai gritted his teeth secretly.
Alright, he's beholden to Bai Kangyan now, so he'll have to play the subservient role.
"No problem, I'll have people prepare right away and notify all media reporters that the press conference will be held at Wanxin at 10:00 AM sharp!"
Bai Kangyan took a satisfied sip of wine.
Jin Wancai was filled with anger, but he still had to appear respectful on the surface.
As he walked out of Bai Kangyan's office, his face immediately turned cold.
"Chairman, how did your talk with President Bai go?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Inside the car, Jin Wancai let out two cold laughs.
"Once Wan Xin gets through this ordeal, I will make him pay back double for the humiliation I suffered at the hands of the Bai family."
"Chairman, will Bai Kangyan help us or not?"
"He asked me to hold a press conference first to clarify that Bai Qianmo was wronged, and he would help me arrange a meeting with the people from the UK Foundation this afternoon. However, what's good this time is that the CEO of the UK Foundation, Jayne, is coming to the capital today. Meeting him in person would be the best thing."
"You've been wronged, but for the sake of the company's interests, we have no choice but to do as Bai Kangyan says."
Jin Wancai was silent for a moment: "Notify the publicity department to contact all media outlets immediately. I will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM sharp in the reception room of Wanxin Group!"
"Yes, Chairman!"

Bai Qianmo spent the night in the office, sleeping on the sofa.
A white computer sits on the coffee table, displaying stock market quotes.
Beep beep beep...
The phone vibrating woke the person who was fast asleep.
Bai Qianmo rubbed her temples, slowly opened her eyes, and her hazy gaze gradually cleared.
He picked up his phone from the coffee table, glanced at the caller ID, and then slowly pressed the answer button.
"Hello!" The voice was slightly hoarse, as if the person had just woken up in the early morning.
"Brother Ye, where are you? I've arrived in the capital. As the host, shouldn't you treat me to a meal?"
Bai Qianmo glanced at the time; it was 9:30 in the morning. She had started sleeping at 5:00 in the morning and had only slept for a little over four hours.
Come find me again at 12 o'clock.
"Oh, you're looking for me at midnight? I'm already at the airport, and you're not even coming to pick me up. You can't even afford to treat me to a meal? Are you really going to leave me all alone, pitifully sleeping on the streets?"
Bai Qianmo rolled her eyes: "The UK Foundation's headquarters in China is in the capital. How could they not know that you, the big boss, are coming to inspect it?"
Someone at the airport grinned twice.
"I'm traveling incognito and don't want to be bothered by these people. I don't care, you have to send a car to pick me up, or I'll call the police and say I've been robbed."
Bai Qianmo rubbed her throbbing temples and said coldly, "Go ahead and report it. Make a false report and you'll stay in the police station for a few days for free, saving you a lot on food expenses."
"Pfft, Brother Ye, you're so cold-blooded and heartless! I traveled thousands of miles to this unfamiliar place, and you're the only person I know. And you're telling me to stay in the police station for a few days? How could I have such a heartless and ungrateful boss!"
Faced with Jayne's accusations, Bai Qianmo took a deep breath in frustration.
Hold the phone away from your ear and hang up immediately.
Worried that Jayne might call back, I promptly shut down my phone.
I tossed my phone onto the coffee table, pulled the blanket over my head, and went back to sleep.
Not long after Bai Qianmo fell asleep again, there was a rapid knocking on the office door.
She pulled off the blanket in annoyance and looked resentfully toward the door.
"Qianmo, it's me!"
Upon hearing that it was Su Peishan, Bai Qianmo bent down to turn off the computer, then got up and walked to the door.
After opening the door, Su Peishan walked in with a beaming smile.
"Did you sleep at the company last night?"
"Okay!" Bai Qianmo walked to the water station and poured herself a glass of warm water.
"Have you heard about Wanxin Pictures?" Su Peishan asked excitedly, following Bai Qianmo like a shadow.
Bai Qianmo walked back to the sofa and sat down, and Su Peishan followed suit.
"I've heard about it!"
"I suspect my mouth is blessed. I said yesterday that Jin Wancai, that bastard, would get his comeuppance. I didn't expect the comeuppance to come so quickly. Haha, if Wanxin goes bankrupt, I will definitely visit every temple in the capital, big and small, and offer incense money to all the gods and bodhisattvas."
Bai Qianmo slowly drank her water and picked up her phone to browse the latest news.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. Jin Wancai is going to hold a press conference. I wonder what his purpose is in holding it!"
This topic piqued Bai Qianmo's interest.
I opened Weibo, and sure enough, the news was on the top headline.
"It's almost 10 o'clock now, there should be a live stream!" Su Peishan turned on the TV and quickly found the live stream of Jin Wancai's press conference.
The reception room was now packed with reporters.
On the stage, Jin Wancai walked to his seat with a blank expression and sat down.
He was accompanied by several familiar faces from the entertainment industry.
Producer Liu, Kong Shen, and a renowned pianist.
That pianist was one of the judges during the audition for "The Legend of 1900".
Seeing this scene, Bai Qianmo felt a sense of doubt.
Isn't Jin Wancai about to announce news about Wanxin's financial situation?
At this moment, Jin Wancai began to speak.
"Dear friends from the media, I am very pleased that you could attend this press conference. I sincerely thank you all. At the same time, I would like to sincerely apologize to Ms. Bai Qianmo, who is not present at the moment. Due to my inappropriate remarks yesterday, some misunderstandings were caused, resulting in Ms. Bai Qianmo being subjected to unfair cyberbullying..."
