“How did it go?” Vera asked anxiously.
“Vera, I could only manage to get through to one out of the three phone numbers that you had given me. I have already asked her about what had happened during that incident in the past. She told me that as soon as you were taken away, they quickly made a phone call to the police. They even ran to the nearest police station at that time because they were afraid that the police officers would take too long.”
“Is that true?” Vera asked immediately.
“I am certain that what she has told me is accurate.”
“Thank you.” Vera was wide awake after her friend revealed the truth about what truly happened that night.
Although she had discovered the truth late, it was better to be late than to never have discovered the truth at all.
This showed how bad a human being could be.
At this time, Vera had a lot of thoughts running through her mind. She wanted to show up in front of Yin Qingyu and give her a tight slap across her face, but she suddenly remembered what Jiang Yuning had advised her earlier today. She finally decided that it would not be worth wasting her time on garbage such as Yin Qingyu. Therefore, she decided to call Jiang Yuning instead.
This time, she cried very badly over the phone as she pleaded, “Yuning, is there any way that you can get justice for me? I will do anything that you would want me to in future.”
This was because she felt as though she had been wronged.
“I do not need you to do anything for me. If you are really angry, you can go ahead and look for Yin Qingyu or take any action that you want against her…as long as you do not leave any evidence behind. My second brother has once said that many things cannot be done or resolved overnight and sometimes, if you wait patiently, it would bring you twice the happiness.”
This was the best advice that Jiang Yuning could offer Vera at this time.
Vera was convinced by what Jiang Yuning had said.
However, in the middle of the night, just as they were about to go to bed, someone had suddenly uploaded some article titled <Jiang Yuning’s Exclusive Agent was a Public Escort> on the internet.
Below the title, there were a number of pictures and also a video recording of the event that had taken place in the past.
It turned out that Yin Qingyu had not only arrived at the scene to watch what was going on, but she had also taken the opportunity to record a video of the incident.
In the video, Vera was exposed as she was struggling to set herself free from the tall and strong foreign man. Although she was struggling at that time, it was not obvious in the video and it seemed as though she was a willing participant.
Yin Qingyu did not see the need to use the help of any media or paparazzi to share the news to the public.
This was because she knew that as long as she added the words ‘Jiang Yuning’ to the title, it would become a hot search almost immediately.
She had already given Vera a chance and warned her about the consequences of going against her, but Vera had refused to listen. Therefore, she decided that Vera must be taught a lesson.
The people at Guangdong Media quickly discovered the video and the pictures and they summoned their public relations team and Vera to the company in the middle of the night to attend an emergency meeting regarding this matter.
As the artiste director, Shen Yichen had a duty to deal with this matter as this involved one of his agents.
“Is this article true?” Shen Yichen asked Vera as they were seated in his office.
“No, Director Shen.”
“This is the second time that you have brought negative impact upon Jiang Yuning’s public image. I am already starting to doubt and question your character and ability. If you continue acting this way, I can assure you that you do not even need to wait three months to prove your own ability,” Shen Yichen said in an extremely furious tone. “You are suspended from now on until you receive further notice. I have to think about how to deal with you and what I should tell your public relations colleagues who are working overtime now because of you!”
“I accept your punishment,” Vera replied as she closed her eyes.
“You can leave now.”
Fortunately, this incident broke out in the middle of the night and therefore, Guangdong Media could quickly intercept the news and cut it out completely. If this news had broken out during the day, it would have caused so much commotion and controversy amongst the netizens.
After leaving Shen Yichen’s office, Vera received a phone call from Yin Qingyu as soon as she arrived at the hotel.
Yin Qingyu was laughing over the phone as she mocked Vera. “Guangying Media is really fast and efficient when it comes to dealing with scandals. The rumors that I had started spreading online have all disappeared in a blink of an eye. However, Vera, you should know that this is not over yet. I still have a few more videos of you that I can distribute slowly. Today, I had uploaded the news in the middle of the night. Imagine what would happen if I were to upload the news and video during the day? Can you guess what the consequences would be then?”
“Moreover, don’t you even think about leaving your job in order to protect Jiang Yuning. Even if you leave your job, I can always just change the title of my articles to…Jiang Yuning’s former agent.”
After listening to Yin Qingyu’s words, Vera could not help but feel extremely furious. “Is that so?”
“Do you not believe me?”
“Open the door if you dare to.”
Yin Qingyu sneered as she opened the hotel room door because she did not believe that Vera would have the courage to appear before her. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Vera standing in front of her, her eyes were filled with hatred and disgust.
Vera grabbed Yin Qingyu’s clothes and pushed her into the hotel room, pinning her down on the ground before she gave her two tight slaps across her face.
The sound of the two loud slaps could be heard loud and clear.
“You…how dare you hit me?” Yin Qingyu yelled as Vera held her up against the wall. She tried to struggle and set herself free, but Vera was simply too strong and she was no match for her opponent.
Vera snorted before letting her go as she said, “In future, I will hit you whenever I want to hit you. You are just some worthless garbage that nobody cares about anyway!”
After that, Vera stood up and started leaving. Even though Yin Qingyu was screaming and yelling threats at her, she did not even care at all.
I am enduring, not because I am afraid of you!
…
Early the next morning, Jiang Yuning received a phone call from Shen Yichen. He had called her to inform her that Vera had been suspended from work. “You are in a very critical period right now. You are about to join the cast of <Mysteries of Heaven> and it would not be good for you to be dragged down and criticised because of others.”
“Director Shen, Vera was framed. Give me a chance to help her. I am sure that I would be able to turn this situation around. You can suspend her if I am unable to do so, okay?” Jiang Yuning asked as she discussed this matter with Shen Yichen over the phone.
“Why do you want to help her? You can be safe and free from criticism if you get rid of her now.”
“Vera and I are a team now. Furthermore, I am certain that the perpetrator will continue to expose more matters regarding Vera. Therefore, there is no use hiding from this situation right now.”
Shen Yichen could only sigh as he listened to Jiang Yuning. “Alright then. I will give you the chance to resolve this matter, but make sure that you settle this matter before you join the cast.”
“Director Shen, there is something else that I have to tell you. Second brother and I are going to register our marriage later in the afternoon. After this, your task of keeping this matter confidential will be even heavier than before.”
“Well, why do I feel as though you are showing off right now? Anyways, congratulations to you and Lu Jingzhi!”
As for confidentiality, there were no worries about it because he had always been very good at his job.
Furthermore, he was certain that Chairman Gu would definitely be more at ease if Jiang Yuning and Lu Jingzhi got married.
Jiang Yuning then made a phone call to Vera, asking her to come over to the villa.
For a bride who was about to register her marriage in the afternoon, Jiang Yuning was very relaxed as she sat in front of the laptop and shared the third issue of her short videos, <Ye Ji>.
@JiangJiangLovestheScenery: As promised, today is Monday so here is the video!
As soon as <Ye Ji> was released, it received a more resounding and enthusiastic response in comparison to the first two short videos.
This was because the focus of Jiang Yuning’s short videos had long been more than just the introduction of the tradition Chinese outfit. The fans and netizens were now totally engrossed in the plot and the storyline of her short videos.
[I am really very curious to know who the big brother who played the role of Chong Hua is. He really has the most amazing physique.]
[Why don’t you just reveal his face to us? Ah! I hate this!]
[Exploding! Wow this man is really suited to be the god of war. He has such a muscular and perfect body. He would really be suitable in so many different dramas!]
Of course, he was perfect. They did not know who the man was.
If the fans were to find out who the actor was, they would be mind blown.
Jiang Yuning was very satisfied after looking at the reaction of the fans and she turned off her laptop before she stared at Vera. “Director Shen had wanted to suspend you and you just accepted the suspension without fighting back at all? This is not the Vera that I know. Where is the Vera that was so domineering and courageous when I had first met her?”
