Zhou Jiyun wasn't the type to show off, so he naturally had no interest in making public declarations. Some things were better left unspoken; there was no need to exaggerate in front of so many people.
So after saying a few words, he handed the microphone to the host and hurried off the stage. But when he approached the main table, Xie Jing suddenly stood up.
At that time, the new program had not yet started, and the photographer's camera was still facing the main table. Xie Jing's every move was faithfully recorded by the photographer.
Xie Jing smiled brightly and opened her arms towards Zhou Jiyun. Zhou Jiyun paused, then his slow pace quickened in the next second. After a few quick steps, he completely buried himself in Xie Jing's arms.
He took the initiative and put his arm around Xie Jing's waist, even lifting her off the ground. The weight of Xie Jing's entire body was supported by Zhou Jiyun's arms at her back.
"Oh..." A burst of booing immediately broke out in the banquet hall. When a young couple is in love, especially when they are so affectionate, everyone likes to boo.
Xie Jing looked down at Zhou Jiyun and patted him on the back: "Zhou Dong looks very handsome today."
Zhou Jiyun leaned forward and rubbed Xie Jing's cheek: "Do you like it?"
"Of course I like it," Xie Jing gently pushed his shoulder: "Everyone is watching, put me down quickly."
Zhou Jiyun reluctantly let her go, not forgetting to kiss Xie Jing's cheek before helping her sit down at the main table. The director who first smoothed things over smiled and said, "A family can only prosper if a husband and wife are united. Seeing you reminds me of my wife and I when we were young."
The wife beside him smiled and looked at Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun with a gentle look. Xie Jing also nodded slightly at them. In such an occasion, no one would be so tactless as to bring a woman from outside to attend.
Old Master Zhou forced a smile. Seeing Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing's deep affection, he thought of his eldest son and daughter-in-law. They had once been deeply in love.
They were not born on the same day and month, and in the end, they both died...
Thinking of this, the old man sighed deeply. The more he thought about it, the more he felt he owed his eldest son. Perhaps it was the certain death of his youngest son, Zhou Zhida, and the long prison sentence for his second grandson, Zhou Jiwen, that finally sobered him up from his wishful thinking about family harmony.
He was finally able to look at the past in an objective way, and of course he could also see his bias in the past. The family harmony he thought he had was actually completely built on the blood and tears of his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and it was only because Zhou Jiyun was wronged that there was harmony.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou felt a pang of sorrow. Hatred, this thing, really can't be eliminated by compromise. Only when all that's owed is paid back can the wronged person overcome their resentment.
Now that things have come to this, he has only one hope, that Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing are fine, and can continue to move forward unwaveringly as they are now.
Before the annual meeting was over, the company's official Weibo account released a video of Zhou Jiyun playing the piano. From his piano playing to his later remarks about his deceased parents and Xie Jing's embrace, the PR director uploaded the video to the official Weibo account during a break in the meeting.
The company is currently plagued by negative image. Although Zhou Jiyun is still in charge and the situation remains stable, it needs a good reputation to restore the company's reputation. And nothing is more eye-catching than the sweet love of the company's leader.
Think about it, one is the daughter of a wealthy family, the other is a young talent, plus there are pianos, lights, banquets, and all the other factors. This fairy-tale love story will naturally attract attention from the outside world.
Of course, just as the PR director had predicted, the official Weibo account immediately made the news, pushing Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing to the top of the trending searches. The comments below were even more overwhelming, with comments about their fairy-tale love.
Neither she nor Zhou Jiyun are in the entertainment industry, but their photos often make the headlines. The first time was when they got married, and later it was when Xie Jing performed at her school's anniversary celebration.
Later, Xie Jing's life experience was exposed, and now, in just less than half a year, they have been on the hot search four times, and the comments below are even more diverse.
As someone who's always on the front lines of gossip, Wang Cancan didn't expect to be fed Xie Jing's dog food even when she returned to the capital for winter break. She didn't care that she was attending the annual meeting and forwarded several news items to her.
Xie Jing glanced at the official Weibo account, then touched Zhou Jiyun's arm. Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes and glanced at her: "I didn't tell the PR department to do this. They acted on their own initiative."
"I'm not angry," Xie Jing smiled. "I know your original intention was just to play a song for me. It's just that pure."
Zhou Jiyun looked at her: "Don't you think it's very utilitarian for the company to do this?"
Xie Jing thought for a moment and said, "I know your intention isn't to profit, but how can you interfere with other people's behavior? And after all, no matter where you go, you can't leave your family company behind forever."
"As long as the other party doesn't slander you, I don't think it's a big deal."
Zhou Jiyun sighed: "I originally wanted to give you a pure gift, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I know you don't like high-profile things."
Xie Jing: "It's not about what others think, but what you think. I've already received your gift, and I like it very much. What the outside world thinks has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Jiyun flipped through the comments: "You don't care about these comments?"
Xie Jing glanced at him, and all sorts of lewd words were hurled at him. Even though Xie Jing was a few years younger than Zhou Jiyun, she couldn't accept such... bold comments.
"Jay lifted his wife up with one hand. What arm strength..."
"And the size difference...if it were to happen at night, I wouldn't dare to think about it."
"When these two hugged, it was like the perfect domineering boss's wife."
"Dear wife? Look closely, it seems that the domineering president is more like a little darling wife, right? Look at the way he rushed into his wife's arms... It's unbearable to watch, it's unbearable to watch, what do you call this? A domineering president acting like a spoiled child?"
"Is this called a domineering boss turning into a sweet wife in seconds? It's quite exciting."
Xie Jing's ears flushed red as she watched. She had to admit that netizens had sharp eyes. Her and Zhou Jiyun's relationship was being discussed one after another.
Just...a lovely wife?
Xie Jing looked up at Zhou Jiyun: "Am I the type of wife who is very delicate?"
Xie Jing feels that she is still very strong at heart. Is she that kind of delicate and weak little woman?
"Of course not," Zhou Jiyun chuckled. "My Jingjing is the queen who bravely protects the knights. How can she be a delicate wife who relies on a man for everything? I like you just like this."
"If you want to go out into the world, I won't stop you. But if you just stay home and do nothing, I'd still love it too. As long as it's you, I can do anything."
