Chapter 73
"Is this the girlfriend of Shang Feng you were talking about?"
Angrily questioning him, Yan Jin turned around abruptly, only to see Hai Heng's extremely ugly face.
"You say Shang Feng has terrible taste and has become a laughing stock because of this woman, but I think you're the one who's become a laughing stock! You're utterly absurd!"
Hai Heng was furious. He was almost tricked by this man into becoming enemies with the beauty. Fortunately, he didn't have time to do anything, and there was still Shang Feng.
The thought that the goddess who had just appeared was actually Shang Feng's girlfriend made Hai Heng grit his teeth with jealousy.
He didn't think he was inferior to Shang Feng, and the reason the goddess stood by Shang Feng's side was simply because Shang Feng was lucky enough to meet the goddess earlier.
Hai Heng gave a sinister laugh, venting all his resentment on Yan Jin, "I heard that Miss Rong is your betrothed since childhood, right?"
"You have really weird taste. You don't even like a goddess of this caliber? You even pushed her away and bankrupted her?"
With each word Hai Heng spoke, Yan Jin's face grew paler. He kept shaking his head, trying to say that it wasn't like that; he just didn't know, he had never seen Rong Rong like this before.
If he had known earlier that he would never have hurt Rong Rong, let alone harm the Rong family business, he would have protected her in his arms from a young age, watched her grow up, married her, and lived a happy life together.
Yan Jin gradually drifted into a fantasy, but Hai Heng's malicious voice suddenly pulled him back to reality.
"You still want to find someone to cooperate with in revenge against the Rong and Shang families? Hmph, I'll bankrupt you right now, and I'm sure Miss Rong will love this gift!"
Yan Jin no longer knew when Hai Heng left; all he could hear was a buzzing in his ears, and his whole body felt weak, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
Regret and heartache almost suffocated him; if his secretary hadn't been supporting him, he probably wouldn't even be able to stand here.
The entire venue descended into complete chaos after Rong Rong left.
Some people are demanding that the Fire Charity give an explanation, as it is in a public place that a defamatory video is being played.
Inviting people over and then deliberately driving them away shows a complete lack of respect and tramples on their dignity. If the Fire Charity operates in such a frivolous and unprincipled manner, who will dare to come in the future?
The crowd was furious, and the loudest shouters were the group of rich kids who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. They shouted until their faces were red and their necks were thick, as if their efforts to protect Rong Rong could erase their previous mockery of others.
Those who had been sitting nearby, unaware of the whole story, looked at the angry crowd with surprise, finding it both ridiculous and laughable.
They asked each other, and all they got was the answer that Miss Rong was not like what was said online, that Miss Rong was their goddess, and that anyone who hurt Miss Rong was their enemy.
This is even stranger!
People were eager to know the whole story.
Suddenly, someone had a brilliant idea: "Go watch 'Unreachable,' which is showing at midnight tonight, and you'll understand!"
These words enlightened many people, so when someone asked them why their attitude had changed so drastically and they suddenly spoke up for Rong Rong, they told them to watch "Unreachable".
Of course, they quickly took out their phones to book movie tickets, only to be dumbfounded when they saw the results.
"Damn! There are no tickets left?"
"That's impossible! How could it sell out so quickly?"
Amidst the roars of anger, the clever person who had managed to snag a ticket smiled smugly and remained silent. He wouldn't say that he had not only bought a ticket, but also booked the entire theater—the entire theater in B City!
However, the man's smugness didn't last long before he heard someone shout, "Xiao Li, quick, book me tickets for 'Unreachable' in City C, a private screening! All booked! And get the car ready, I'm leaving right now!"
? ? ?
"Is this even possible?" The man's eyes widened, but that wasn't all.
"Xiao Liu, contact Director Li right now and tell him we want to increase the screenings of 'Unreachable.' What? How much more? Pull all other movies out of the theaters! Replace them all with 'Unreachable'! Penalty for breach of contract? That's nothing!"
"No need to sell tickets since everything's arranged, I'll cover it all myself... mmm..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone suddenly covered his mouth.
As if a switch had been flipped, several more people pounced on the man, some controlling his arms, some his legs, and someone else snatching his phone and yelling, "Arranged to sell tickets normally!"
Then he slammed down the phone.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded...
This phenomenon of frantically increasing screenings, frantically scrambling for tickets, and every show being sold out has naturally attracted the attention of netizens.
The incident quickly became a trending topic, and netizens unaware of the details launched another round of criticism.
[These damn capitalists can even inflate box office numbers like this?!]
However, no one cares about the comments online anymore; it seems everyone is looking forward to "Out of Reach" and waiting for midnight to arrive.
On the side of the Spark Charity, the organizers managed to calm the rioting crowd down. The method was simple: they just announced that Rong Rong had another painting that would be auctioned.
People quieted down and returned to their seats. Of course, the organizers still had to provide necessary explanations, such as a sincere apology or the dismissal of all participants in the big screen incident.
For example, when Xin Huo promised to replace the chairman of the Liu family, Liu Qi was slapped several times and dragged away by the Liu family members on the spot.
No one said anything more, but everyone knew this wasn't over. They had no time to care about anything else; they just wanted to photograph Miss Rong's painting.
When the painting was presented, people were mentally prepared to see a primary school student's artwork.
But things turned out to be unexpected. It was a master-level landscape painting, with a profound artistic conception and full of spiritual energy. The brushstrokes were free of any human traces, forming a style of its own. What was even more valuable was that there was an inscription on it.
It is a poem that no one has read before, and it complements the painting perfectly.
This painting and its accompanying words alone are worthy of being collected, not to mention that it was painted by Miss Rong, Rong Rong herself.
It turns out that the beauty was not just about looks; she also possessed rare and precious talent.
Looking back now, how malicious was Liu Qi's childish artwork? It must have been one of Miss Rong's early works when she first started learning to paint.
Instantly, the arena erupted in a chorus of condemnation against Liu Qi, the Liu family, and the Xin Huo Charity.
The banquet that Liu Qi and Yan Jin had meticulously planned to humiliate and ridicule Rong Rong had ultimately backfired, turning into a self-inflicted wound.
Surely after tomorrow, Yan Jin will become the biggest joke. His stupidity, eccentricity, and scumbag nature will spread throughout the world along with Rong Rong's good name, for a very long time to come.
This is another kind of 'lasting fame', who can argue with that?
"Miss Rong's original painting, starting bid 50 million, bidding begins!"
The hammer fell heavily, igniting the fiercest battle of the day's auction.
