She could tell from Krystal’s words that she had already investigated Jennie.
With the Jung family’s influence, it wasn’t impossible to find out that Jennie wasn’t from the Kwon family.
Nancy recalled the birthmark that Krystal had mentioned and her expression changed.
Because she had seen the birthmark on Jennie before.
That birthmark was indeed red.
And it was located in a very secretive location.
But how did Krystal know about this?
“Answer my question first. Does Jennie have a red birthmark?”
Nancy was silent for a while before nodding. “Yes.”
Although Krystal was already mentally prepared, when she heard this, her heart still skipped a beat and her expression changed.
Her fingernails dug into her clenched hand.
She bit her lip. At that moment, indescribable anger rose in her heart.
Jennie really had a red birthmark on her!
What she was most worried about actually happened.
Why? Why did this happen?
Why did what she was afraid of became reality?
Why was God so cruel to her?
Why?!
In her extreme anger, she bit down on her lips until there was a bloody bite mark.
Her nails dug into her palms, leaving bloody marks.
When she spoke again, her voice trembled slightly. “That birthmark… where is it located?”
If even the location was the same, then it was almost certain.
Nancy looked at her in confusion, not knowing why she was so agitated.
She told Krystal about Jennie’s birthmark.
Krystal’s expression changed drastically.
She even knocked over a glass of water.
Even when the coffee splashed on her dress and dirtied the expensive white dress she was wearing, she acted as if she didn’t see it.
“Miss Jung, are you alright?” Nancy took out a few pieces of paper from the box on the table and handed them to her. She looked at her suspiciously. “Miss Jung, your dress is dirty. Do you want to wipe it?”
Krystal still did not react.
After a few seconds, she slowly raised her head.
Nancy was shocked when she met her gaze. “Miss Jung, are you alright?”
Krystal’s eyes turned red.
At a glance, it looked scary.
“Are you sure that your sister really has a red birthmark on her, and that the birthmark is at the place you mentioned?”
“Yes, I’m sure.” Nancy nodded without hesitation. “I’ve seen it a few times. Because that birthmark’s color is very eye-catching, it’s hard not to notice. Miss Jung, is the birthmark on my sister related to her real birth?”
Nancy’s expression changed when she thought about what the private investigator had found out.
Just two days ago, her private investigator found out that the Kim family was looking for their youngest daughter.
The lost daughter of the Kim family was the same age as Jennie.
The birth month was the same.
When the private investigator told her about this, Nancy didn’t think too much about it.
After all, many girls in Yun Cheng were the same age and were born in the same month as the daughter of the Kim family.
Nancy had already determined that Jennie’s biological parents were fugitives.
She was worried that Jennie’s birth parents might be important figures.
However, she felt that the possibility of this happening was slim.
How could Jennie be so lucky?
Even if her biological parents used to be big shots, they must have done something to leave her behind.
They didn’t even want their own daughter. They must have committed a serious crime.
They must have done something illegal and escaped overseas.
Or had offended someone they shouldn’t have offended and had to leave their daughter to save their lives.
No matter what the reason was, her birth parents were definitely in dire straits when they left her.
And they definitely did not develop further.
Otherwise, they would have come back to China to fetch Jennie.
How could more than ten years have passed without any news?
Hence, when she got someone to investigate Jennie’s birth parents, she wanted to make Jennie look bad.
She had never thought that Jennie’s biological parents would be so powerful.
Jennie would never have such good luck.
But what if she was just that lucky?
What if her birth parents were now very important figures?
Nancy’s expression darkened.
That little b*tch was doing so well now. If she had a powerful background, she would be far above her in the future.
“We can’t be completely sure yet, but we already have some leads. Therefore, we must replace her before her biological parents confirm her identity!”
She, Jennie, could only have such a humble background.
She couldn’t be the daughter of the Kim family.
Even if she was, she wouldn’t give her the chance to regain her identity.
“Miss Jung, then who could my sister’s biological parents be?” Nancy already had a guess.
But she felt that it was impossible.
It was definitely not what she had guessed.
But while waiting for Krystal’s reply, she still held her breath nervously.
“Your men have already investigated the Kim family. I’m sure you know what’s going on.” Krystal looked at her widened eyes and said what she didn’t want to believe and admit, “The Kim family.”
Nancy was shocked. “The Kim family? Miss Jung, you’re saying that Jennie’s biological parents might be from the Kim family? You mean… she’s the daughter of the Kim family?”
How was this possible?
Jennie’s birth parents were fugitives.
How could it be the Kim family, one of the four great families of Yun Cheng?
The Kim family…
A prestigious family on par with the Manoban, Jung, and Lee families.
If Jennie was the daughter left behind by the Kim family, wouldn’t her true identity be the same as Miss Jung’s?
If Jennie became the daughter of the Kim family, then no matter how hard she worked, she would never win against her.
“Mm.” Krystal’s expression darkened. She gritted her teeth and said, “If she really isn’t a member of the Kwon family and has that red birthmark on her, it’s very likely that she’s the daughter of the Kim family. Nancy, do you know why I asked you out now?”
Krystal’s eyes were cold and filled with hatred. “If Jennie is really the Kim family’s daughter, I can’t let her be acknowledged by the Kim family.”
“The Kim family should be finding out soon. Before that, we have to confirm something.”
Nancy was still in shock. She clenched her fists. “Confirm what?”
Krystal said coldly, “Confirm if she’s really the daughter of the Kim family.”
“How can I be sure?”
“I’ll arrange this.”
“Then, what does Miss Jung need me to do for you?”
“What I want you to do is very simple. It’s absolutely beneficial to you.” Krystal’s eyes showed a hint of unwillingness. She paused for a few seconds before continuing, “Once we confirm that Jennie is the Kim family’s daughter, we have to make the Kim family acknowledge you as their daughter before that happens.”
Jennie widened her eyes in shock again. “Let the Kim family acknowledge me as their daughter? But-but that shouldn’t be possible. If the Kim family wants to acknowledge their daughter, they must do a paternity test. How could I…”
“I’ve said it before, you just have to cooperate with me obediently. When the time comes, I’ll arrange everything, including the paternity test. Nancy, once you become the daughter of the Kim family, your status will be completely different from now.
“If you become the daughter of the Kim family, you’ll have everything you want in the future. By then, Jennie won’t be able to compare to you. Don’t tell me you’re not tempted…”
Krystal looked at Nancy with disdain.
She didn’t like people like Nancy at all.
If not for the fact that she was the only one who could help her with this matter, she wouldn’t be willing to deal with such a lowly person.
These people who came from lowly backgrounds were all especially scheming.
Nancy couldn’t be any better.
Letting someone like Nancy become the daughter of the Kim family was really letting her off easy.
But no matter how much she disliked Nancy, as long as she could use her to deal with Jennie, it didn’t matter if she took advantage of her.
Even if Nancy became the daughter of the Kim family, she would still have to listen to her obediently.
Letting the daughter of the Kim family become her chess piece and listen to her every command would make it much easier for her to do many things in the future.
She had already weighed the pros and cons of this matter, which was why they met this time.
Nancy looked at her in shock. She took a while to recover.
Her face was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and her heart was beating wildly. “But, but my age…”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Krystal interrupted her. “It’s easy to change your age. The most important thing now is to confirm whether Jennie is really a daughter of the Kim family. Also, you have to go back and do some work with your parents.
“This matter can only succeed if they cooperate with you.
“I believe your parents are smart people. They won’t stop their daughter from living a better life.”
Krystal saw that Nancy was already moved and reached out to her with a smile. “Nancy, I wish us a happy cooperation. The next time we meet, I might have to call you Sister Kim.”
Nancy stared at her blankly for a few seconds before slowly extending her hand.
Her hands were trembling, and her voice was trembling as well. “Miss Jung, I… I hope we can work well together.”
The daughter of the Kim family…
Could she really become the daughter of the Kim family?
The Kim family that she looked up to and thought would never have anything to do with her…
If she could really become the daughter of the Kim family, wouldn’t she become a socialite like Krystal in the future?
From now on, she would be the envy of the upper-class socialites and heiresses.
If she became the daughter of the Kim family…
How could Jennie compare to her!
So what if she hooked up with Mino?
Mino was just playing with her.
But it was different now that she had the identity of the daughter of the Kim family.
The man she looked up to now would become a match for her in the future.
The Manoban, Lee, and Song families’ young masters were all outstanding men whom she couldn’t reach.
She could also get to know a man as outstanding as Mino in the future.
She could also stand on equal footing with these elites. To her, they were no longer unreachable figures.
“Miss Jung, can-can you really make me the daughter of the Kim family?” Nancy’s voice trembled. She was afraid that she would be too excited and couldn’t help but confirm again.
“Of course.” Krystal despised her in her heart, but she displayed an elegant smile on the outside. “As long as you do as I say, I can make you the daughter of the Kim family. Why, don’t you believe me?”
“No, of course not. How could I not believe Miss Jung?” Nancy hurriedly said. “I’m just afraid that the Kim family won’t be easy to fool and I will be exposed.”
“As long as you listen to me and follow my instructions, you won’t be exposed,” Krystal said impatiently. “If you don’t believe me and think that I don’t have the ability, you can reject me.
“Nancy, I can think of a way to make you the daughter of the Kim family. I can also make others the daughter of the Kim family. I’m only looking for you because I feel that we’re on the same side, and it’ll save me a lot of trouble. But you have to know that you’re not the only one I want.”
Nancy’s expression changed when she heard this. She was afraid that Krystal would really change her mind, so she immediately smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Jung. I’m definitely on your side. No matter what you want, I’ll do my best to cooperate with you.”
“That’s good.”
Krystal looked at her arrogantly. “Wait for my call. I’ll get someone to inform you after I’ve arranged everything.”
With that, Krystal turned and left the room.
After she left, Nancy’s smile faded.
After making sure that Krystal had already walked far away and couldn’t hear her voice, she scowled and said, “What’s so great about that? Isn’t it just fate that allows you to have the status of the daughter of the Jung family? When I go to the Kim family in the future, what’s there to show off in front of me?”
Nancy couldn’t accept that Jennie had a good background.
But at this moment, she hoped that the daughter left behind by the Kim family was really Jennie.
Only then would she have a chance to replace her.
Nancy was excited at the thought of that day.
She had snatched many things from Jennie.
But all the things she had snatched from her over the years added together couldn’t compare to what she was about to snatch.
Who would have thought that the little b*tch could be from the Kim family?
The little b*tch was actually so lucky.
But so what if she was lucky?
So what if she was really the daughter of the Kim family?
In the end, these things would become hers.
…
After Jennie signed the contract with MC, MC’s official Weibo posted the news of her signing as the spokesperson for the next season and tagged her.
She forwarded it to Weibo.
Jennie: “It’s an honor to work with my favorite makeup brand. Thank you, MC, for giving me such a good opportunity. I’ll perform well and not let everyone down.”
The moment the MC’s official Weibo account signing Jennie as its spokesperson was posted, thousands of comments appeared within a few minutes.
In the comments section, everyone was cursing MC for being blind. Not only did they find a newbie to be their spokesperson, they even found a newbie with scandals all over her.
Many netizens also clamored to boycott MC. If they dared to use Jennie as their spokesperson, they wouldn’t buy any of MC’s products anymore.
In short, the comments section was filled with criticism.
They were all asking MC to change their spokesperson. Otherwise, they wouldn’t buy MC’s products anymore.
Internet pal A: “Is there something wrong with MC’s brain? In the past, they always looked for the most popular A-list celebrities to endorse them. This time, they actually found a newbie who isn’t famous at all. Furthermore, Jennie’s character is so bad, and there are so many scandals. Isn’t MC afraid of ruining its brand image?”
Netizen B: “Who doesn’t know that MC doesn’t use newbies? This is the first time they’re using newbies, right? I don’t understand why they looked for Jennie. She has a lot of dirt on her now, and she doesn’t even have a good piece of work. How can such an artiste be the spokesperson for a first-tier makeup brand? What does she rely on? Her face? Isn’t she afraid that the netizens won’t buy it?”
Netizen C: “MC must be crazy. Aren’t they afraid that they won’t be able to sell their products in the future? Even if they want to use a newbie, it won’t be Jennie’s turn.”
Netizen D: “What’s so strange about that? Don’t you know that MC is a brand under the Song Corporation? The Song family’s young master is Jennie’s golden thigh, so what’s wrong with giving an endorsement to a company under him?”
Internet pal E: “I just checked, MC is really a subsidiary of the Song Corporation. No wonder they used an unknown newbie. Isn’t the young master of the Song family afraid that he will ruin MC’s reputation by promoting his little lover?”
Internet pal F: “I heard that the Song family’s young master and the Eldest Miss of the Jung family are a couple. If Jennie really has an affair with Young Master Song, what’s the big deal? Is she trying to interfere with their relationship by having sex three times?”
Very quickly, the comment about Mino and Krystal being a couple was trending online.
Because of this comment, Jennie was trending again.
The topics #Jennie being the third# and #Jennie interfering in the relationship of the Jung family’s Eldest Miss# went viral.
She alone occupied the top five trending topics.
Because the artiste that MC had previously signed with had revealed that he wanted to continue working with MC, but the artiste that MC had announced was Jennie, many netizens went to that artiste’s Weibo to ask her what was going on.
After MC officially announced Jennie as the spokesperson for the next season, the artiste Xiao Xiao also posted on Weibo.
The content on Weibo was to tell the netizens not to make wild guesses, saying that whoever MC signed with would be free for them. Although she was regretful that she couldn’t continue working with MC, she could understand MC’s actions.
These words didn’t seem like much on the surface.
However, if one were to carefully read it, they would be able to understand another meaning.
These words sounded like she understood MC’s decision, but she was actually complaining.
After a while, a Weibo post suspected to be Little Xiao’s alternate account was dug out by netizens.
The netizens dug out Little Xiao’s small account and complained that MC had already talked to her about the endorsement for the next season. They had even talked about the fee. They were just short of signing the contract.
The day before the signing, they told her that they couldn’t renew the contract with her.
She was very unhappy about this, but she didn’t dare to offend MC. She was afraid that they would never have the chance to work together again.
Little Xiao was still comforting herself in that small account that MC must have found a more suitable spokesperson than her.
Although she could understand what MC was doing, she still felt a little disappointed.
If they didn’t want to sign a contract with her, they shouldn’t have looked for her in the first place. After looking for her, they suddenly changed their mind and wanted to sign with someone else. This made her very uncomfortable.
Of course, Little Xiao did not directly say that the contractor was MC in her alternate account, but the netizens all guessed it.
Xiao Xiao was an A-list celebrity, just like Huang Yilin.
Among the female celebrities, her popularity was considered very high, and she had a lot of fans.
After her alternate account was dug out, her fans saw the contents of her alternate account and went to Jennie’s Weibo to scold her.
They called her shameless and took Little Xiao’s resources.
They scolded her for not knowing her own worth. Even if she snatched away MC’s endorsement, she would not be able to drive the MC’s sales at all.
In short, Xiao Xiao had a lot of loyal fans. They knew that their idol’s endorsement had been snatched away by a newbie and that the newbie had relied on unspoken rules to do it. They were so angry that they cursed Jennie.
Jennie’s scandals were all over the place.
Snatching endorsements, abortion in high school, being a mistress…
The hot searches followed one by one onto the top rankings.
After #Jennie snatched Little Xiao’s endorsement# started trending, Little Xiao’s Weibo account didn’t show any reaction.
And many netizens found that in the few minutes when the hot searches first went up, Little Xiao’s Weibo account had been logged in.
In other words, she had probably seen all of Jennie’s trending topics.
But she did not come out to refute the rumors.
Jennie’s silence made the netizens even more certain that that alternate account was hers.
The things mentioned in the account were Jennie stealing her MC endorsement.
How could Little Xiao’s fans tolerate it?
More and more fans started cursing on Jennie’s Weibo.
These fans were no weaker than Tu Yilei’s girlfriend fans and wife fans.
On the other side.
Many netizens who did not know the truth believed 70% to 80% of what they saw.
The passersby also started scolding Jennie.
Not only was Jennie scolded, but even the MC’s official Weibo was scolded as well.
#Boycotting Jennie, boycotting M-C# had also gone viral.
With such a huge commotion on Weibo, Huanyu quickly sent out their PR to handle it.
First, they removed the trending topics, then they blocked the related topics.
The leading netizens’ Weibo accounts were also blocked.
But it was still useless.
A trending topic was blocked, and soon, another trending topic appeared.
…
Huanyu Media, CEO’s office.
Linda had just returned when Zhao Yibo called her into his office.
“Tell me, what should we do?” Zhao Yibo looked at her with a worried frown. “The public relations department has already removed the trending searches as fast as possible, but they still can’t suppress the new trending searches. Little Xiao’s fans have been changing the topic, saying that they want to help Little Xiao get justice.
“Now even MC has been attacked by Little Xiao’s fans. What do you think will happen if MC gets angry and wants to change the spokesperson?
“She’s just a newbie. Why is she always so busy?”
“President Zhao, don’t forget that you asked her to stay.”
Linda had seen the hot searches on her way back and realized the seriousness of the situation. “Besides, you can’t blame her for this. Someone wants to mess with her. Can she defend herself?
“Since it’s Little Xiao’s fanbase, don’t you know her manager? Can’t you just call her and let her make a statement?”
“You think I haven’t thought about it?” Zhao Yibo frowned even harder. “I’ve already made a call, but Little Xiao is unwilling to make a statement. Her manager can’t do anything about it.
“Actually, I can understand her. MC decided to renew the contract with her, but now… it’s normal for her to be angry.”
“Little Xiao is unwilling to make a statement?” Linda frowned.
Zhao Yibo nodded. “She’s not willing. She’s probably still angry. How could she be willing to speak up for Jennie?”
Linda was silent for a while before her eyes lit up. “If you say she doesn’t want to, what about someone else?”
“Someone else?”
“That’s right. If she doesn’t want to give in to you, what about President Manoban? She doesn’t have the guts to do that.”
“You mean… to call President Manoban?”
“Yes, at a time like this, only President Manoban can suppress everything. Plus, this matter has blown up so much that President Manoban probably already knows about it.”
…
Just as Linda had said, Lisa found out about Jennie’s many scandals not long after they were trending on Weibo.
In the office, Wei Zheng was reporting to him.
“Those rumors about Young Madam’s high school… I’ve already found the IP address. When the time comes, we’ll get Huanyu to file a lawsuit against them. As for the rumors about Young Madam and Young Master Song, we’ll get someone to delete the relevant Weibo content.
“There’s also the matter of Young Madam stealing the MC endorsement. The account is indeed the Weibo account of that artiste called Little Xiao. Her fans’ appeal is very strong. Now, her fans are constantly changing the topic. Not long after the trending searches were deleted, they went up again.
“The first two things are easy to solve, but that artist called Little Xiao…”
Wei Zheng had just finished his report when his phone rang.
He took it out and glanced at it. He raised his head and said, “CEO Manoban, it’s Huanyu’s CEO. It should be related to Young Madam.”
Lisa said coldly, “Answer it.”
Wei Zheng picked it up immediately.
He hung up a minute later.
“President Manoban, President Zhao from Huanyu said that we need that artiste called Little Xiao to release a statement, telling her fans to stop bringing up the tempo. Otherwise, this matter won’t be settled for a while. He said that Little Xiao was still angry that MC gave the endorsement to Young Madam, so she refused to give him face. I’m afraid this matter can only be resolved after President Manoban settles it.”
Lisa said coldly, “Then get this done immediately.”
“Yes, President Manoban. What if… that female artist still doesn’t agree?”
“Then tell her.” Lisa’s gaze turned cold, and the pressure around him dropped a few degrees. “If she doesn’t make a statement, she won’t have to work in this industry anymore. If she’s smart, find a similar endorsement deal for her.”
“I understand, President Manoban. Little Xiao is Xinghan’s artist. I’ll call Xinghan’s CEO now.”
Wei Zheng immediately made a call.
He followed Lisa’s instructions and told them what to do.
A moment later, he hung up the phone. “CEO Manoban, I’ve already conveyed your intentions to Xinghan’s CEO. He promised that within half an hour, Little Xiao will definitely issue a clarification statement.”
Lisa’s face was still dark.
Looking at his boss’s gloomy face and feeling his increasingly suffocating aura, Wei Zheng felt very stressed.
He didn’t even dare to breathe.
President Manoban was obviously angry.
Sigh, no wonder.
Young Madam had been criticized by others every few days. One moment, they said she was a mistress, the next moment, they said she had an abortion in high school and that she was Young Master Song’s little lover…
Young Master Song was President Manoban’s brother.
No man would be able to accept his wife being called his brother’s lover.
Plus, President Manoban, the real husband, couldn’t openly refute the rumors.
Because of Young Madam’s occupation, he couldn’t reveal his relationship with her.
Thinking about it, President Manoban was quite sullen.
If it were any other woman, they would definitely be eager to publicize their relationship with him.
Those who came up with ideas had to make it public with him.
Who would want to hide their relationship with the CEO of the Manoban Corporation?
They all wished they could announce it to the whole world.
After all, it was rare for President Manoban to find a good woman.
Once a woman met him, she would want to hold on to him tightly.
But Young Madam…
She did not seem to be worried that President Manoban would be snatched away by another woman and was especially assured of him.
He could tell that President Manoban wanted to announce it to the world, but she did not have such intentions.
President Manoban was arrogant and doted on Young Madam.
Naturally, it was up to Young Madam’s wishes.
However, everything that had happened was because Young Madam and President Manoban had yet to reveal their relationship. That was why so many people were spreading rumors about Young Madam and other men.
If they knew that Young Madam was the Madam of the Manoban Corporation.
Who else would dare to defame Young Madam all day long?
Unless they were tired of living!
“President Manoban, don’t worry. Xinghan knows that it’s your idea. They won’t dare to not give you face.” Wei Zheng thought that Lisa was still angry about Jennie’s scandal, so he quickly said, “The company’s public relations are already handling the relevant matters. Young Madam’s scandals will be removed very soon.
“Regarding those people who started rumors and created trouble, we have also gotten information about them from Weibo. We will definitely punish them severely.”
After Wei Zheng said that, Lisa looked up at him with a pair of dark eyes. “MC is a makeup brand under the Song Corporation?”
“Huh?” Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment before he immediately nodded. “Yes, the makeup endorsement Young Madam signed is under the Song Corporation.”
“A-list makeup?”
“Yes, A-list makeup.”
“Then, do you think that under normal circumstances, a first-tier makeup brand would look for a newbie to be their spokesperson?” Lisa’s expression was normal when he said this. He was just asking casually.
But Wei Zheng did not ignore the coldness in his eyes.
He reacted quickly.
Was CEO Manoban… jealous of Young Master Song?
Under normal circumstances, with Young Madam’s current fame, she definitely wouldn’t be able to get the MC endorsement.
Every MC spokesperson in the previous years was the most popular A-list celebrity, and they had never used a newcomer before.
Young Madam was probably the first newcomer the MC brand had used.
Even the netizens on Weibo felt that Young Madam had gotten the endorsement through a backdoor.
This caused the rumors between Young Madam and Young Master Song to become more and more ambiguous.
Actually, even Wei Zheng felt that something was wrong.
If President Manoban hadn’t informed Young Master Song and asked him to endorse Young Madam, things wouldn’t have been so clear.
Wei Zheng recalled the rumors, and his expression changed.
Could it be that Young Master Song was really interested in Young Madam?
But that was impossible.
Young Madam was President Manoban’s wife, and Young Master Song knew this.
Besides, hadn’t Young Master Song always liked Miss Jung?
Wei Zheng thought about it for a while and carefully glanced at Lisa’s expression. He then carefully replied, “CEO Manoban, MC always used A-list celebrities. Under normal circumstances, Young Madam wouldn’t have been able to get this endorsement. However, I’m guessing that her manager had interacted with MC before and they found out that Young Madam is working for you, so Young Master Song gave this endorsement on your account?
“Or perhaps Young Madam’s appearance fits their requirements, so they made an exception and used a newbie?”
Wei Zheng did not dare to voice out his thoughts.
He wanted to live for another two years.
But, even if he didn’t say it, President Manoban was already unhappy about it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly asked him these questions.
President Manoban must have felt that something was wrong.
“You think so?” Lisa narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, yes.” Wei Zheng nodded and became more cautious.
“Alright, I got it.” Lisa waved his hand after a moment of silence. “You can leave now. I’ll call you if anything happens.”
“Yes, President Manoban.” Wei Zheng couldn’t wait to leave.
At a time like this, if he didn’t have to appear in front of President Manoban, he definitely wouldn’t.
It was the wisest thing to do to minimize his presence.
Wei Zheng turned around and ran out of the office.
“Wait.”
He had just taken a few steps when he heard Lisa’s cold voice behind him. “Call Zhao Yibo and tell him that this matter has to be handled strictly. Anyone who creates rumors and causes trouble, no matter who they are, tell them to die.
“I’ll bear all the consequences.”
Wei Zheng paused. He could tell that Lisa was really angry this time.
It was different from any other time.
This time, he specially instructed them to be strict.
Those who started rumors and defamed Young Madam would be in deep trouble.
However, he also felt that it was time to punish those haters.
It would be easier to deal with these people spreading rumors and defaming Young Madam. If others didn’t know the severity of defaming Young Madam, these things would only continue to happen.
…
After Wei Zheng left, Lisa called Jennie.
After the call went through, a soft and sweet voice entered his ears. “Lisa, are you done with your work? Do you have a business meeting this afternoon? If not, do you want to have lunch together?”
Lisa’s anger dissipated when he heard her sweet voice.
But when he thought of the messy scandals he had seen on Weibo, his eyes darkened again.
He tried his best to suppress the unknown fire in his heart and rubbed his glabella. He took a deep breath and asked, “Where are you now?”
When Jennie answered his call, she was still in the car. “Sister Linda helped me take an advertisement. I just signed the contract and was about to look for you. I think I’ll reach the Manoban Corporation in five minutes.”
“Okay.”
Lisa picked up his watch and stood up. “I’ll go down and wait for you now.”
“There’s no need for that. I’ll go up and look for you later. Go about your business, there’s no need…”
“I’m free now.” Lisa walked out of the office and said in a domineering tone, “That’s it. I’ll wait for you downstairs. See you later.”
Lisa hung up and left the office.
When he walked past the secretaries’ work area, his cold face and the low pressure around him scared the few female secretaries so much that they did not even dare to breathe.
It was only when he walked into the elevator and the doors closed that the female secretaries gathered together to discuss in low voices.
“President Manoban seems to be in a bad mood today. Is it because of his girlfriend’s scandals?”
“Do you think the rumors are true? Did President Manoban’s girlfriend really… have a child in high school?”
“Is her scandal with Young Master Song true?”
“How is that possible? Young Master Song and President Manoban are good friends. A friend’s wife is not to be bullied. Even if Young Master Song is really interested in President Manoban’s girlfriend, he wouldn’t do anything to her. That’s not taking President Manoban seriously.”
“But, there’s no smoke without fire. Why are there no scandals about Young Master Song and her just based on rumors? Some women are really b*tches who like to walk on a few boats. Of course, I don’t think Miss Kwon is such a person. After all, with such an outstanding and perfect boyfriend like President Manoban, it’s hard for her to have feelings for other men.”
“Do you think President Manoban will fight with his girlfriend over those scandals?”
“I don’t think so. I heard that President Manoban has already asked the public relations department to settle his girlfriend’s matter. If President Manoban believes those scandals, it would be too late to break up. Would he still help her?”
…
Five minutes later.
Jennie’s taxi stopped outside the Manoban Corporation building on time.
The moment she got out of the car, she saw the man standing outside.
His charisma and looks were top-notch. Even if Jennie wasn’t his wife, she would have seen such an outstanding man at first glance.
Moreover, Lisa was her husband.
When employees walked past him, they would stop and greet him respectfully.
In the past, Lisa wasn’t a kind and amiable boss.
But when the employees greeted him, he would always nod in return.
But today, he had a cold expression on his face the entire time. When his employees greeted him, he did not react at all.
It was the hottest afternoon of summer.
The blazing sun outside was so hot that the ground was steaming.
But even though they were more than ten meters apart, Jennie could feel the coldness emanating from him.
Lisa was unhappy.
Jennie could tell that he was in a bad mood.
Even if he looked the same as usual, apart from her, he had always been indifferent in front of others.
He looked very indifferent now.
His expression was calm and expressionless.
He looked no different from usual.
But Jennie could feel that he was angry, perhaps furious.
She did not dare to approach him.
She hesitated for a few seconds before walking toward him.
She had just taken a step when the man seemed to have sensed something and looked in her direction.
