Chapter 274: Don’t Waste Your Time on Something As Trivial As This in Future
“Find out who exactly the artiste under Guangying Media who sold that information to the media is. After that, I want you to release an official statement,” Gu Pingsheng said to Shen Yichen.
Since things had already escalated this far, then the only thing that they could do now was to make the relations.h.i.+p between Gu Pingsheng and Lu Jingzhi known to the public. In fact, this matter would not have much impact on either of them at all.
“I understand.”
“I guess that boy cannot stand watching his wife getting bullied. Why can’t he just stay calm?”
“I think that the second young master Lu’s patience has probably reached its limits,” Shen Yichen replied as he laughed.
“Go and handle this matter now.”
After that, Shen Yichen went straight to the public relations department and immediately instructed them to issue an official statement from Guangying Media.
[Did you see the official statement released by Guangying Media earlier today? It turns out that Gu Pingsheng, the chairman of Guangying Media, is in fact Lu Jingzhi’s uncle. In other words, the news spread by Star Entertainment that Lu Jingzhi attended the dinner at Gu Pingsheng’s house because he is Jiang Yuning’s gold sponsor is just a lie! No wonder Lu Jingzhi got angry!]
[Based on their relations.h.i.+p, it is only normal for Lu Jingzhi to go to Gu Pingsheng’s house since he is his nephew. Why did Star Entertainment make a big issue out of this? Moreover, they even hinted that the only reason why Lu Jingzhi was at the dinner banquet is because he is Jiang Yuning’s gold sponsor. Serves them right if they really receive a lawyer’s letter from Lu Jingzhi!]
[They’re really courageous to even try to mess around with the Lu family. Look at the trouble they’ve gotten into now.]
[Does this mean that Lu Jingzhi is denying the rumors that he is actually Jiang Yuning’s gold sponsor?]
[That is just a baseless rumour! Star Entertainment has already admitted that they’ve received the tip off from a certain artiste in Guangying Media, who only created that rumor because they wanted to deal with Jiang Yuning. Moreover, Jiang Yuning is still so young, beautiful, and talented. I think that she is going to make it big one day!]
[Hehehe. If Lu Jingzhi is really the person backing Jiang Yuning up, would she still need to work so hard just to build up her own career? I don’t believe it!]
However, the most magical thing about this entire situation was the fact that Lu Jingzhi deleted his verified public social media account as soon as Star Entertainment deleted their malicious post about Jiang Yuning.
It disappeared completely!
He was very low-profile and he left in an instant without leaving behind any evidence at all.
[I am really amazed! As soon as the matter was resolved, Lu Jingzhi’s verified account is gone with the wind! I can no longer find his profile!]
[This is the kind of great and mysterious guy that Lu Jingzhi is. He comes and go whenever he pleases.]
[He’s just so cool, right?]
[I even thought that I was dreaming during my naptime that Lu Jingzhi made a surprising appearance on the Internet.]
[The way that the Lu family does things…is really too mysterious, right?]
[Sigh. I was just starting to get excited because of Lu Jingzhi’s presence on the Internet. However, in a blink of an eye, it seems as though my teenage dream has just vanished completely.]
[Even if there is no man backing Jiang Yuning up in the entertainment industry and even if Jiang Yuning does not have any gold sponsors, that does not mean that there is nothing wrong with her counselling and education platform.]
After reading the last comment, the netizens started acting up again.
Whatever it was, the fact that Jiang Yuning did not have any gold sponsor was eventually clarified in a very strange way…
There were no battles, arguments, nor defences from either party at all. All that was needed was one single sentence from Lu Jingzhi and the other party was so afraid that they retracted their statement and started apologizing immediately.
Jiang Yuning did not know if she should laugh or cry at this time.
Therefore, she decided to send a text message to Lu Jingzhi: “Second brother, are you too bored right now?”
“I am so busy I’m about to die.” Lu Jingzhi replied arrogantly.
“Then why did you even bother getting involved with the rumors on the internet?”
“Secretary Ho was the one dealing with that matter.” Lu Jingzhi typed his reply quickly on the phone without changing the expression on his face. “Why? If the matter is about me, can’t I just make an appearance and defend myself? Should I just stand at the side and watch my wife getting bullied?”
“How is this matter related to you?”
“Oh, are you saying that the man that Star Entertainment was referring to is not me, or are you saying that you are not my wife?”
Jiang Yuning was speechless.
Okay. Jiang Yuning decided to give up because she did not know how to refute Lu Jingzhi’s words anymore.
“Anyway, don’t waste your time on something as trivial as this in future.”
“Wasting my time? Alright then. I will keep in mind that the one and only social media account that I have is the one with the user ID @Scenery.”
Jiang Yuning could not help but smiled when she heard his words. “Alright. I know that you love me and care about me, okay?”
In fact, Secretary Ho was indeed the one who had been managing and dealing with the matter right from the very start. However, he was only doing it following Lu Jingzhi’s instructions.
The netizens eventually brought the focus back to the matter involving Jiang Yuning’s education platform after the rumor about Jiang Yuning’s gold sponsor was resolved by Lu Jingzhi.
After that, Vera took the opportunity to release some information by buying up some of the hot searches focusing on Jiang Yuning’s luxury mansion, her rooftop garden, and so forth, just to garner some of the media attention. Anyway, regardless of whether Jiang Yuning’s relations.h.i.+p with the second young master Lu was made public or otherwise, her place of residence should still be confidential information.
[I think that all of you do not need to worry about where our beloved fairy is staying right now. She is very rich but she is still keeping a very low profile.]
[Are you kidding me? I would not even be surprised if our fairy is living inside a palace right now.]
[My fairy is so rich and wealthy. Why should she let everyone know where she is living at right now? It is none of your business!]
The most important thing was the fact that Jiang Yuning had always kept a low profile even though she was extremely wealthy. Moreover, she had never once showed off or bragged about the relations.h.i.+p that she had with the Lu family. This was something that could not be denied by the public and the netizens.
However, even at this point in time, some of the netizens wanted to continue criticizing and targeting Jiang Yuning.
[So, what if she is very wealthy? Let’s get to the bottom of the matter about the issue involving the education platform that she has set up. Otherwise, I am afraid that nothing that anyone says will justify anything at all.]
[Sigh. I really pity the old man. I think that his grandson might have already been murdered because of Jiang Yuning.]
[I feel that Jiang Yuning will eventually buy the old man’s silence by offering him a comfortable life with a lot of money. I wonder how many more children will suffer in future just because of Jiang Yuning’s education platform…]
[Jiang Yuning is just pretending to be compa.s.sionate.]
At this time, the police officers had just escorted Xiao Zhou home and he was finally reunited with his grandfather. “Grandpa, why are you so silly? I had already informed you that I will be back in one weeks’ time before I left the house a few days ago. I told you that I will be working part-time at my friend’s father’s factory. They will be paying me a hundred and twenty yuan a day! If I work there for a week, I will be able to get you a better hearing aid!”
“That’s right…Grandpa remembers now. I remember now…I totally forgot about it.” The old man cried and wiped away the tears on his face as he sat at the edge of the bed.
“I am not blaming you. It is my fault for not being able to take care of you. I should not have left you all alone at home,” Xiao Zhou replied in a sad voice as he hugged his grandfather tightly.
The police officers could not help but feel a knot in their hearts as they watched the scene unfolding before them.
It was only normal that the less fortunate would always have to sacrifice work or their loved ones in order to make ends meet.
If they had to work, they could not look after their loved ones, but if they looked after their loved ones, they would not be able to work. That was how life worked.
At this time, the few police officers who were present at the scene decided to chip in some money to be given to Xiao Zhou and his grandfather. As soon as the police officers offered the money to Xiao Zhou, he rejected their offer immediately.
“I am sorry but I cannot accept this money, sir. I was never a good or obedient boy as I was growing up and I had always hurt my grandfather because of how naughty and mischievous I was. That is also the reason why I want to be able to provide for and look after my grandfather based on my own abilities, without relying on the help of others.”
“You are a very honest and down-to-earth boy.”
“I learned this from Sister Yuning! She is the light that is guiding my life and making me a better person every day.” As soon as Xiao Zhou thought about Jiang Yuning, he quickly turned around and looked at the police officers as he asked, “Police officer, Sister Yuning’s innocence has not been proven yet. I cannot let those netizens continue criticizing and blaming Sister Yuning for something that she did not do.”
“Yes…that girl is really very pitiful. She is getting blamed for absolutely no reason at all just because I had wrongly blamed in the first place. It is all my fault for being a stupid and forgetful old man. You have to hurry up and clarify this matter on her behalf. Otherwise, Grandpa will feel very sorry and uneasy.”
“Police officer, is there any way that you can help me to clarify this matter to the public?”
The police officers exchanged glances with one another before they finally replied. “We can help you to record a video and post it online to clarify this matter. You can say whatever you want to in that video. What do you think about this idea?”
“That would be perfect. Thank you, police officers.”
Both the grandfather and his grandson replied as they wiped the tears off their faces.
“Can you please record the video of me in my bedroom? I have a lot of things in my bedroom that I want to show to Sister Yuning and everyone else.”
