“I believe in Second Brother. He is able to handle it by himself. Moreover, there’s still Lin Zhi. Their prosperity and loss are in one boat. Lin Zhi won’t just watch Second Brother get scolded.”
Seeing that Qin Mucheng did not say anything, Ji Yuanyuan put down the laptop and reached out to grab Qin Mucheng’s hand. “Promise me that you won’t get involved in this matter anymore. If there’s a need, Second Brother will look for you.”
Qin Mucheng nodded. “Alright.”
Ji Yuanyuan was still worried. “Promise.”
Qin Mucheng felt a little helpless, but at the same time, he felt a little warm in
his heart.
“I promise I won’t get involved in this matter.” He nodded solemnly.
Ji Yuanyuan was relieved.
She held Qin Mucheng’s hand. “Second Brother is very important to me, but you are also very important.”
Qin Mucheng reached out and pulled Ji Yuanyuan’s head into his embrace. He said gently, “Don’t worry. There will be a way.”
In the next few days, things became more and more intense.
Even though Lin Zhi, Shenghe, and the public relations of both sides were working overtime to deal with this crisis, it seemed to be useless.
Not only was his ident.i.ty exposed, but his family was also implicated. “According to an insider, there are three siblings in Ji Zi’ang’s family. The eldest brother is an a.s.sociate professor in the mathematics department of B University, and the younger sister is suspected to have married into a wealthy family in B City and has a daughter…”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at the gossip posts on the internet, and the hand that was holding the phone was trembling.
She was angry.
These people were actually about to dig out Tangtang.
“I’ve already spoken to the director of your department. Don’t come to the hospital for the time being.” Wu Qiuyun had appeared behind Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan raised his head and looked at Wu Qiuyun.
Wu Qiuyun said, “There are already reporters waiting outside the hospital. Be careful when you go out.”
Ji Yuanyuan was shocked and subconsciously stood up to go to the window.
Sure enough, there were reporters downstairs who were arguing with the
security guards.
With a heavy heart, she changed her clothes, wrapped herself up tightly, and
left through the back door.
She did not dare to drive her own car.
These reporters were so resourceful. If they had already found out her license plate number, she would be walking into a tiger’s den if she drove out now. She had already called for a taxi on the app in advance. When the driver arrived at the door, she quickly ran out and got into the car.
She looked at the rearview mirror and observed for a while. No one seemed to be following them.
Ji Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief.
She thought about it and asked the driver to go to the kindergarten first. Regardless of whether the reporters found out about Tangtang or not, they could not let her continue to stay in kindergarten.
It was too dangerous.
Ji Yuanyuan brought Tangtang home after she was picked up from the
kindergarten.
At the entrance of the residential area, there were also reporters waiting in
twos and threes.
They must have already found out about their family.
Since the taxi could not enter the neighborhood, Ji Yuanyuan could only bite the bullet and bring Tangtang into the neighborhood.
After getting out of the car, she subconsciously pulled the mask on her face. When the reporters saw them, they swarmed over. “h.e.l.lo, are you the owner of this neighborhood? Can I interview you? Do you know the Qin family? They…’ Ji Yuanyuan carried Tangtang and walked in a hurry. I m sorry, I m not s It was a young woman who was hugging a girl. Her expression was evasive. The reporters were all smart and quickly reacted. “Are you Ji Zi’ang’s sister? What do you think about your father’s voice on the show? Also, why did you refuse to support your biological father? Does your daughter support your actions?”
The reporters pressed on step by step, and Ji Yuanyuan could hardly move forward.
Fortunately, the security guards in the neighborhood knew her.
Seeing that she was surrounded, he quickly came out.
With the help of the security guards, Ji Yuanyuan successfully entered the residential area.
When had Tangtang ever seen such a scene?
She was on the verge of tears in her arms.
“Mom, who are they? Why are they so fierce to us?
“Don’t be afraid,” Ji Yuanyuan patted her head. “They got the wrong person.” Tangtang tugged at the corner of her shirt tightly and nodded her head in grievance. “They didn’t even apologize. That’s rude.”
Ji Yuanyuan carried Tangtang and hurried home.
At home, only Cheng Shuqin and Qin Junshan were there.
“Mother,” Ji Yuanyuan instructed softly after entering the house, “Tell Aunt Wu and the rest to go out as little as possible these few days. If they meet a reporter, don’t say anything.”
“Did you run into reporters on your way back?” Cheng Shuqin frowned.
Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Yes, 1 applied for leave from work. I’ll be staying at home for the next few days. I’ve already informed the teachers at the kindergarten.’ Cheng Shuqin sighed helplessly, “These reporters are really… I’ll call your dad and tell them to be careful.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked worried as she took out her phone. After hesitating for a while, she sent a WeChat message to Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang to explain the situation and remind them to be mentally prepared.
“Don’t worry,” Ji Xizuan replied quickly.
However, there was no reply from Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Yuanyuan understood that if her condition were so serious, Second Brother’s condition would definitely be even worse.
However, she couldn’t help much now. She could only wait.
At this moment, in the meeting room of the club.
Lin Zhi looked around with a serious expression. “So far, how many companies want to terminate their contracts?”
On the other end of the conference table, a man looked at Ji Zi’ang awkwardly and whispered, “All.”
“No exceptions?” Lin Zhi frowned.
The man nodded.
Lin Zhi glanced at Ji Zi’ang. “Do we need to pay the penalty for breaching the contract?” he asked after a while.
The man opened the doc.u.ment. “Logically speaking, we need to pay the penalty for breaching the contract. However, a few companies have taken the initiative to exempt us from the penalty. I’m still actively contacting the remaining companies. After all, we didn’t cause them any actual losses, and it’s not hke there won’t be opportunities to work with them in the future.”
Ji Zi’ang’s popularity only lasted for a month.
Many contracts had only been signed, and the cooperation had not yet begun. “Continue to contact them. If the other party insists on us paying the penalty, then give it to them. However, I don’t want to see them on the cooperation list in the future.”
The man nodded. “I understand.”
“Continue with the public relations. Take down the posts that are unfavorable to us. Also, find more Internet trolls and pretend to be acquaintances to post.” Lin Zhi said.
“Got it, President Lin.” The man nodded in a low voice. “You can go back to your work.” Lin Zhi waved his hand.
The man packed up the doc.u.ments in front of him and quickly left the meeting room.
Only Ji Zi’ang and Lin Zhi were left in the huge meeting room.
“I’ll pay for the breach of contract and the money for the fake reviewers,” Ji Zi’ang said dejectedly. “I’ll pay them from my personal account. If necessary, I will make a statement to withdraw from the club’s operations.
“What?” Lin Zhi chuckled. “Do you think I’m the kind of person who prioritizes benefits?”
“Business is business. We all have to think for the club.” Ji Zi’ang’s lips
twitched..
