Chapter 975: Fu Huai’an Standing Next to the Car, Waiting for Her
When Chu Fangzheng heard this, he realized that Chu Xun really didn’t know about the matter with the video. That meant she couldn’t have deleted the video…
This was the time for them to think of a solution to the problem, not for him to continue reprimanding Chu Xun. Chu Fangzheng said to Chu Xun, “Ask Jiaoyang. I think she has a copy with her!”
Chu Fangzheng hung up the call with Chu Xun, then remained silent for a while before he instructed his a.s.sistant to find out who had deleted the video, as well as the Weibo account for Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor.
Chu Xun called Chu Jiaoyang, and the latter quickly sent the screenshot of the Weibo post to Chu Xun.
Chu Jiaoyang only had the screenshot of the Weibo post uploaded by Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor, with an image of the video. The image of the video wasn’t that clear in the screenshot.
The screenshot was sent to Chu Jiaoyang by her friend, who had come across it on Weibo. The person had sent it to her, asking her if she knew if it was true. That was why Chu Jiaoyang had the screenshot.
Chu Xun was still checking out the screenshot of the video seriously when Chu Jiaoyang sent her a WeChat message.
‘Chu Jiaoyang: Is what Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor said true? Did you really spend money to buy the news that you got an award for? I don’t believe it! Tell me if it’s true! That deputy chief editor has maligned you, right?’
Chu Xun had always been Chu Jiaoyang and the Chu family’s pride. Although there were many times Chu Jiaoyang and Chu Xun had gotten into disagreements, she still admired Chu Xun from the bottom of her heart!
If everything was fake, then how could Chu Jiaoyang accept it?
Chu Xun was in no mood to console her. She zoomed in on the screenshot and studied it carefully!
She could tell that the video had been taken secretly. But who had taken the video from this angle?
Was it Lin Nuan?
Back when terrorists a.s.saulted the Jiang family’s heavy machinery and equipment company, everyone’s mind was in a state of chaos, especially after they had seen the terrorists firing their guns and killing people. Who would still be in the mood to care about who was kneeling where? All of them only lowered their heads and prayed to G.o.d, hoping that the bullets wouldn’t hit them, praying that they wouldn’t be so unfortunate to be the unlucky fool who was killed by the terrorists to serve as a warning for others.
Based on the angle of the video, Chu Xun was unable to discern who had taken it. She didn’t see the three Weibo posts by Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor that had been deleted. After thinking about it for a long time, her guess was that he wasn’t the one who had taken this video, but he had kept it from her all these years!
Chu Xun picked up her phone and was just about to call the deputy chief editor, wanting to ask him why he was kicking up a fuss despite having taken the money! Chu Xun didn’t believe that he had felt guilty all these years. Why wasn’t he conscious-stricken when he took the money and got a great job prospect?
However, just as Chu Xun was about to call his number, she stopped her finger!
If she were to make the call and it was recorded… then she would really be unable to explain herself!
Chu Xun’s mind was in a mess. She looked at the computer screen, picked up the cigarettes on the table, and shook one out with her trembling fingers, biting down on it. She then picked up her lighter, but she was unable to light a flame even after quite some time. She was so angry that she pulled out the cigarette and smashed both it and the lighter toward the French windows, instantly causing the lighter to be smashed into pieces.
She had already left the country and went overseas. Why was it that those people were still unwilling to let her off?
Chu Xun had got up to her feet by herself before and had also attained success before!
After hearing what Fang Yan had said to her, she wanted to get back up on her feet again, wanting to rely on her own abilities… not relying on money or her family! She wanted things to be like they were when she had first succeeded, holding a pa.s.sion and enthusiasm toward the news industry. She wanted to use her own efforts to open up a new world for herself!
But why was it that those people were unwilling to give her a chance? Why did they have to trample her down into the mud…
Could it be that this was what they meant about everyone kicking someone when they were down?
She had made mistakes, but who in this world would dare say that they hadn’t made some mistakes before? Why couldn’t they give her a chance to start anew? Why did they have to give her such a hard time?
After venting her frustrations, Chu Xun forced herself to calm down!
She opened up her fridge, took out a bottle of cold water, twisted the cap off, and gulped the water down fiercely. She felt a lot cooler…
Who would delete the Weibo posts? Was that person trying to help her or do her in?
Chu Xun leaned against the sofa’s armrest, holding onto the bottle of mineral water. After thinking about it for a long time, she thought of Fu Huai’an for some reason. The hand that was holding tightly onto the bottle suddenly let go…
So, was Fu Huai’an trying to help her or trying to stand up for Lin Nuan?
Given how much Fu Huai’an cared for Lin Nuan, it wasn’t impossible…
Or, could it be that Fu Huai’an was doing this for Lu Xiangsi?
Chu Xun didn’t see the complete video, so she wasn’t sure what all the video had shown.
However, thinking about it, since it was a post to spoil her reputation, then… it’d definitely show the side of her that was pathetic, ugly, and afraid of death!
Chu Xun tugged at her hair. She then leaned against the sofa and squatted down, feeling extremely guilty.
She hesitated about whether she should call Fu Huai’an to ascertain if he was the one who had done this…
But Chu Xun didn’t dare to do so. Just as she was hesitating, Chu Fangzheng called.
After the call got through, Chu Fangzheng said to Chu Xun, “Give Fu Huai’an a call. Ask him to help the Chu Group on account of our past ties… Get him to work with the Chu Group for the project in Wei City. As long as news of the Kaide Corporation and the Chu Group collaborating is released, our Chu Group…”
“Dad! It’s very likely that Fu Huai’an is the one behind this matter, yet you’re asking me to look for him?” There was a hint of strain in Chu Xun’s voice.
She was actually certain that Fu Huai’an was the one behind this…
It was because other than Fu Huai’an, who else would have a reason to trample her down into the mud like this?
Chu Fangzheng fell silent for a moment, not saying anything. He then hung up the call. His mind churned very quickly, and he immediately got his driver to prepare the car to head to Jincheng!
Currently, the two biggest corporations in the country were the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation!
Since there was no hope with the Kaide Corporation, Chu Fangzheng planned on looking for the Jiahe Corporation… He would bring out the Chu Group’s most profitable project and invite the Jiahe Corporation to invest in them. He’d be able to stabilize the Chu Group’s plummeting share prices then.
Chu Fangzheng was an experienced businessman. He understood that, in such a case where the share prices continued to be at a low rate amidst rumors, if there wasn’t the involvement of a powerful backer, the Chu Group would be dealt a great blow even if they were to tide through this peacefully.
This time around, Chu Xun had really implicated the Chu family!
Chu Xun hugged her knees and curled up behind the sofa…
She thought that she had already fallen down into the dust. What she didn’t know was that more terrifying things were still waiting for her.
…
At 5 pm in Morocco, Director Yang Rui let the actresses leave work promptly for the day.
The moment Lin Nuan came out after having removed her makeup and changed her clothes, she saw Fu Huai’an standing next to the car, waiting for her…
