Song Mai and Chu Xing had already reached a consensus that they would keep a low profile and not show affection in front of others, letting everything take its natural course.
However, Xie Manman's suggestion was indeed a good idea. If everyone knew that she didn't care about Master Yun at all, the rumors would naturally fall apart.
"I need to go home and discuss it."
This is not just my own business, and I must not take advantage of it without Chu Xing's knowledge.
Xie Manman nodded understandingly and said softly, "As soon as possible, this matter cannot be delayed."
The women who tried to get involved with Master Yun all ended up in bad situations.
Xie Manman understood Song Mai's personality; she knew Song Mai wouldn't do such a despicable thing, but that didn't mean others wouldn't.
When Song Mai walked out of the office, many people seemed to be working, but their eyes were actually fixed on her.
The feeling of being scrutinized was extremely uncomfortable, and she subconsciously frowned before walking to her workstation.
At this moment, Chu Yunxing's expression was exactly the same as hers, deep in thought and looking very irritable.
Shen Que and Assistant Lu looked at each other, unsure of what to say, and could only sigh helplessly.
"There isn't really a good solution to this problem." After saying that, Assistant Lu glanced at Chu Xing cautiously, and then continued after a moment, afraid that Chu Xing would misunderstand him, "But there are still ways to alleviate it."
Chu Xing gave him only a cold look, and Assistant Lu immediately surrendered, saying, "Find someone else to pretend to be her husband, and naturally no one will continue to suspect anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Xing glare at him coldly.
Shen Que nudged him in time, and he then shut up.
"Master Yun, don't listen to his bad ideas. There are ways to solve this problem, but we just need a little push. The reason why such rumors are circulating in the company is because too many people are making wild speculations about Master Yun. As long as we stop them from gossiping, everything will be resolved."
This is easy to say, but difficult to do.
Assistant Lu gave a mocking laugh and couldn't help but ask, "Then how do you suggest we resolve this?"
"The solution is simple: issue a statement proactively, without even making an example of someone, and people will naturally stop discussing it."
After all, everyone believed that Master Yun turned a blind eye to rumors, which is why they dared to continue discussing them without restraint.
Half an hour later, a statement was released.
No one dared to discuss the matter openly anymore, but Song Mai always felt that there was something strange about the way people were looking at him.
After get off work, everyone subconsciously kept a few steps away from her, their avoidance making Song Mai even more upset. Helplessly, she lowered her eyes and walked away.
"You're so dejected over such a small thing? Have you forgotten what I told you before?"
Ji Feng strode over to her side and said with a smile.
Song Mai forced a smile: "I just don't understand why everyone is reacting so strongly, and even unwilling to listen to me."
“Because everyone is afraid of outstanding people and tries to find their weaknesses in order to attack them further.” He paused and continued, “So the reason you are in this situation is because you are too outstanding.”
Such words were too far-fetched, and Song Mai could immediately tell that he was just trying to comfort himself.
Such reassurances had absolutely no effect on Song Mai, and at this moment she could only pretend to be relieved and nod with a smile.
"Stop pretending, your smile is uglier than a cry." Ji Fenghe couldn't help but laugh.
His teasing actually eased Song Mai's mood considerably.
The sight of the two walking side by side was captured by someone with ulterior motives and subsequently posted on the company's internal forum.
Song Mai had just arrived at her doorstep when she received a call from Xie Manman.
"Maizi, you're really amazing. I never imagined your husband was Manager Ji. No wonder you've always been reluctant to go public." Xie Manman was genuinely happy, as she truly hoped Song Mai would have a bright future.
"Manager Ji?" Song Mai was completely out of it.
But the area outside the door wasn't the place to talk, so as she opened the door, she asked in a low voice, "Manager Xie, what did you mean by what you just said?"
"Didn't I teach you before that you could ask your husband to dispel the rumors? Now the company forum is flooded with pictures of the two of you from behind, so it's hard not to know even if you don't want to?"
Xie Manman's tone was filled with barely concealed excitement.
When Yao Qianyu pursued Ji Fenghe, she made a huge scene.
Although only a small number of people know the ins and outs of this, it is enough to shock someone of Xie Manman's social standing.
"I..." Song Mai didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment, and sighed helplessly.
"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore."
"But Manager Ji and I are innocent. He just came to comfort me." Song Mai raised her voice anxiously, but then lowered it again when she realized that Chu Xing had returned home.
Xie Manman sensed the urgency in her voice and immediately realized something was wrong. She subconsciously asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
"My husband is certainly not Manager Ji."
Xie Manman fell into deep thought on the other end of the phone, realizing the seriousness of the situation.
At least Song Mai's career has been saved, and he won't anger Master Yun over this matter.
"Wait until things calm down before clarifying. As long as you don't get involved with Master Yun, you don't need to worry about who your husband is," Xie Manman reassured her before hanging up the phone.
Even so, Song Mai couldn't help but feel uneasy about it.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Chu Xing.
His expression was displeased, and he looked quite annoyed.
This sight made Song Mai's heart skip a beat. Could it be that he knew everything?
She cautiously approached Chu Xing, and seeing his increasingly gloomy face, continued, "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, the company just ran into some trouble." Chu Xing rubbed his temples wearily and turned off his phone.
The mobile phone screen displays background photos of Song Mai and Ji Fenghe.
The photo deeply pierced Chu Xing's heart; his brows furrowed, and he exuded a sense of oppression.
Song Mai said in a low voice, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
She immediately regretted asking the question. Her attempt to ingratiate herself was so obvious that anyone with common sense would quickly sense something was amiss.
But Chu Xing didn't react at all, shaking his head to himself: "It's nothing."
On the surface, he appeared calm and collected, but in his heart, he wished Ji Fenghe would leave this place right now, as far away as possible. As long as he didn't appear by Song Mai's side, he was even willing to help Ji Fenghe with everything.
