The atmosphere at breakfast was still a bit awkward, but this strangeness seemed to be gradually becoming familiar.
After breakfast, Su Yanyi went back to her room to change clothes. When she came downstairs, she saw Qin Jiran sitting in the living room reading the script. He didn't seem to have any intention of changing clothes and going out, so she asked, "Aren't you going to the company?" She had planned to go together with him.
"I won't go. I'm studying the script. If possible, I want to set up my production crew. What do you think?" The script was provided by Su Yanyi, which he liked very much. After serious consideration, he thought of trying to create his crew. In fact, this idea wasn't just formed; he had been planning his life for a long time. Acting couldn't last a lifetime, and it was inevitable to move from in front of the camera to behind the scenes. He had been learning about directing and production knowledge. Now that such an opportunity had come, how could he let it pass.
"If you like it, that's good. You can talk to Kang Zhong about any help you need." Su Yanyi also supported Qin Jiran's choice, as such a choice would lead to more development.
Su Yanyi left, and Sun Minyi came to pick her up again. Recently, Sun Minyi hadn't been having a good time either; it was as if there was some secret that was keeping her out, and she always felt that the distance between her and Su Yanyi, as well as Kang Zhong, was growing further apart.
Had something happened? Sun Minyi seriously pondered but couldn't figure out what was different.
As they were about to reach the company, Su Yanyi's phone rang.
"President Su, there is a bunch of reporters blocked downstairs at the company, all asking about you and Mr. Qin. I've come forward to explain, but these people still refuse to leave. It feels a bit strange, as if someone has specifically called them over," Kang Zhong said, his tone slightly heavy. He was annoyed by these reporters; it was none of their business that the couple was dating, and yet they insisted on meddling, which was truly irritating.
"Keep it under control and tell those reporters that if they don't want to be simultaneously blacklisted by Splendid and Dragon Media, they shouldn't do what they shouldn't do!" Dragon Media, owned by Mother Su, was the leading company in the media industry. Although there were a few companies that were competitors, they wouldn't deliberately bother Su Yanyi. Warned in this way, most media organizations would give face.
However, there were naturally problems. Su Yanyi's strong stance was also likely to offend people, but Su Yanyi wasn't afraid; she had always conducted herself this way. Whoever dared to trouble her, she certainly wouldn't be courteous!
As for who was manipulating all this behind the scenes, other than the Wang sisters, there were probably no others.
Exposing her relationship with Qin Jiran, in Su Yanyi's view, was a risky move made by Wang Zhilin. The disharmony in her relationship with Qin Jiran wasn't a secret; their marriage was so simple, without a wedding banquet, without announcements, and even friends in the circle knew little about it. Su Yanyi rarely went home with Qin Jiran, and with Wang Zhirou as the insider, their relationship couldn't be kept from Wang Zhilin. Wang Zhilin's actions at this time seemed to presuppose that she would not admit to the relationship between them.
And if she really did deny it, it would clearly be a damage to their relationship and would be seen as further increasing the distance between them, which would fit Wang Zhilin's intentions.
However, Su Yanyi thought Wang Zhilin's actions were rather superfluous! Who was she, Su Yanyi! Even if she hadn't been reborn and didn't know about Qin Jiran's kindness to her, she would never dare not admit the truth!
Of course, she might also very likely get divorced first and then tell everyone that she and Qin Jiran had no relationship. In that case, it wouldn't be a lie.
This time, however, such a thing was clearly not going to happen; so, Wang Zhilin's actions were not only futile but even served to deliver a handle to her directly!
Wang Zhilin and Qin Jiran were classmates, and their relationship could be said to be not bad, just ordinary friends. They occasionally met at some gatherings, exchanged greetings, and talked for a few moments. Although not close, they were still within reach of each other.
In her previous life, Su Yanyi didn't care because she didn't care about Qin Jiran at all. Even knowing Wang Zhilin liked Qin Jiran, she wouldn't think too much of it, but now it was different. Even if it was just a matter of contact, thinking of what that woman had done to her, she just wanted to immediately hire an assassin to deal with Wang Zhilin!
In fact, Su Yanyi had thought about directly hiring an assassin to deal with her few enemies, but she felt it was too unsatisfying to deal with them so simply. In her previous life, she had lain in bed for two years, suffered so much, and struggled with resentment every day and night. Such hatred couldn't be erased just by death. She really wanted those people to lose everything and taste the helplessness she had experienced.
Being alive is often more painful than death, and she wanted these people to taste that kind of pain!
By the time Su Yanyi arrived at the company, Kang Zhong had already sent many media reporters away, but there were still a few stubborn ones waiting outside the company. However, they could only see Su Yanyi's car driving directly into the parking lot, without giving them a chance to catch a glimpse of her.
But entertainment reporting was a strange thing because, many times, the subject matter didn't need the participation of the person involved.
As soon as Su Yanyi sat down in her office, Kang Zhong came in.
"President Su, there are new photos of you and Mr. Qin together online, taken at Su Family Mansion as you both got out of the car. It's the same car, taken covertly, and it should have been last year during Mr. Su's birthday," Kang Zhong said, well-aware as the driver of that day. However, the covert photographer obviously chose to ignore him.
"What about the content?" The purpose of the photo was to verify the truth in words, and she didn't think the other party would just publish a single photo.
"The location was blurred by the other party. They only mentioned that you took Qin Jiran to a private party, with intimate gestures, speculating again on the relationship between you and Mr. Qin, and repeatedly implying that maybe Mr. Qin is being kept by you."
Su Yanyi's face darkened upon hearing this; Wang Zhilin was truly annoying.
"Invite the media reporters. We'll hold a press conference this afternoon to make a statement about my relationship with Qin Jiran. Those who want to know the truth should all come," Su Yanyi made a decision directly. Although she had always considered Qin Jiran's opinion regarding whether their relationship should be made public, when it came to a time when she needed to be decisive, there was absolutely no need for hesitation. It was just a marriage, what did it matter? Let it be public!
