Without a moment's hesitation, Shen Wuye said, "I won't regret it."
Bai Yan looked up at Shen Wuye, her dark gaze causing Shen Wuye's heart to skip a beat. After a long while, he saw Bai Yan smile.
Her gaze towards him returned to its usual warmth and a hint of respect. "President Shen, I'm so sorry. I took my anger out on you because of Chu Hanchen's matter a while ago. You first showed me great kindness, and then you supported me during this time. I don't think I'll ever find a better boss than you."
"I will spend my whole life at the Sunset, at the Shen family, fighting alongside you."
Fighting side by side?
Shen Wuye felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
But then he remembered the insults he had been spewing on the online forum and said, "Don't worry, my lawyer's letter isn't just for show."
He doesn't often keep up with information in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't know that because of certain celebrities, lawyer's letters have become something with very little credibility.
He clearly prepared tens of millions of yuan to deal with this online public opinion, so of course he had to sue, suing those keyboard warriors so they could never type on the keyboard again.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "You handle things on the internet."
"As for the company's games, don't worry. Although 'Conquering the Central Plains' won't be able to release new heroes next month, I'm already prepared to launch new games..." Bai Yan looked at Shen Wuye with sincere eyes.
"I know that Shen Zhonghai was a veteran of the company. Now that he's gone, the online public opinion is very negative for the company and has also affected Shen's stock price. So many people are predicting the downfall of Rimu and Shen's..."
She reached out her hand, "President Shen, you took my hand from the beginning, so now I want to take your hand too. Rimu will not be defeated by them."
"I will always support you."
Of course, she would support him unconditionally, because he had staked everything on her: business matters are ever-changing, and ever since Shen Wuye publicly supported her online with a lawyer's letter, they have been inseparable.
Once this Sunset is defeated, the hidden tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves within the Shen family, along with the male protagonist Chu Hanchen, will all emerge to tear the Shen family apart.
Thinking of the scene in the story where Shen Wuye was betrayed by his closest relatives, a ruthless glint flashed in Bai Yan's eyes, but it was only for a moment. When she looked at Shen Wuye, her eyes were sparkling.
Shen Wuye also looked at Bai Yan, his heart filled with unsettling emotions. He reached out and grasped Bai Yan's palm.
Just then, Assistant Li came up and said, "This is so exciting! It feels like we're the heroic protagonists fighting the villains."
"Boss, can I shake hands with Bai Gong too?"
Shen Wuye: ...
"Go and organize the materials online." He still has thousands of netizens to sue, and there's a lot to do.
Assistant Li: ...
...
Bai Yan's reputation on the internet has soured, and various blurry photos of her have gone viral. Outsiders may not know this, but Aunt Zhou and others who live next to Bai Yan's mother can recognize her.
That day, Bai's mother went to a nearby small supermarket to buy groceries. Her new apartment was not yet renovated, and she was still living in the old neighborhood.
"Oh my, some people are shameless enough to try and seduce the boss!"
As soon as she entered the residential area, Bai's mother heard Aunt Zhou sitting at the entrance chatting with the neighbors. Seeing her approach, Aunt Zhou deliberately raised her voice: "Girls should have self-respect! Girls who don't respect themselves will be punished, don't you think?"
"She was showing off her bonus and buying a house a while ago!" Aunt Zhou was practically pointing at Bai Yan's forehead and yelling, "Has this gotten out of hand?"
"Those big bosses are just looking for something new. You're telling me, what's going to happen to this young girl who got dumped and made such a mess of her reputation?"
"In ancient times, this would be called a 'broken shoe' if you didn't like it! A broken shoe that nobody wanted!"
"Say it again!" Bai's mother threw the vegetable basket on the ground and started fighting with Aunt Zhou.
Several people nearby quickly tried to break up the fight; some pulled Bai's mother away, and others pulled Aunt Zhou away.
"You know Old Zhou, he's a chatterbox and never lets things go, don't be angry!" the person holding Bai's mother advised.
"Oh dear, your daughter did something like this and you won't even let people talk about it?" Aunt Zhou had two scratches on her face, and now she was indignant, jumping up to scold her again.
"Mom, what's wrong?" a voice came from ahead.
Bai Yan frowned, quickly ran to her mother's side, and immediately noticed her mother's disheveled hair. Her gaze instantly turned cold as she looked at Aunt Zhou, who was still thinking of starting a fight.
"What did my daughter do? My daughter has a regular job. She works in the gaming industry. The things said online are all nonsense!" Bai's mother retorted loudly.
"Pah!" Aunt Zhou said, "Stop trying to fool me. Do you think I don't know anything?"
"Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, come out here!" Aunt Zhou called out to her son. As Zhou Yuan came out of the house, she looked triumphantly at Bai Yan and her daughter: "My son already said that your daughter's game was copied. Do you understand?"
"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhou Yuan frowned as he looked at Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou, anxious and gossipy, said, "Son, quickly tell them what you know. That game Bai Yan made, the one the kids in our neighborhood play called 'Zhongyuan,' is the one she seduced that big boss into stealing your company and your boss's game, isn't that right?"
"Mom, aren't you bored?" Zhou Yuan was a little annoyed that he had to satisfy his mother's gossip desires after a tiring week.
Bai Yan raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Yuan: "You work at Fengyun, and your boss is Liu Guosheng?"
Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment when he looked at the person in front of him. He and Bai Yan grew up together and both had good grades.
But Bai Yan always managed to outshine him... In high school, he caught up with her to improve his grades, partly because she was indeed beautiful, and he even pursued her, but was rejected.
Zhou Yuan frowned again: "So what if she is? My mom does talk a lot, but what she says isn't untrue. Why get so angry?"
She looked Bai Yan up and down again: "Being a woman means you don't have to work hard, unlike me. I don't know how many programs I wrote to get a big apartment in the city center."
Aunt Zhou immediately snorted, "Yes, people still have to rely on their abilities. You can't go far by taking crooked paths!"
"My son bought a house worth over six million yuan in the city center through his own hard work! Countless women want to marry him, but some people are just blind!"
Aunt Zhou and Zhou Yuan put on a show, as if Bai Yan had stolen Liu Guoping's design and exchanged it for money right in front of them.
"Xiao Yan, you're young. Let me tell you, things that are unclean will be taken back by God in the future!"
"Her mother, you too! That house was the money your daughter got from selling herself, and you dare to take it?"
Bai's mother was furious and panting heavily. She was about to rush over when Bai Yan grabbed her hand: "Mom, let's not tell them. Let's go home."
Arguing with this kind of person is a waste of your life.
Bai's mother's eyes were red with anger. She knew that she and her daughter were no match for each other in an argument or fight. She nodded at her daughter's words, but as soon as she stepped into the house, she leaned on Bai Yan and couldn't help but cry: "How could they... how could they bully you like that and curse you like that?"
Bai Yan was naturally heartbroken. She wiped away her tears, lowered her eyes, and made a phone call to Shen Wuye: "President Shen, do you have time now? Could you do me a favor?"
