Tao Yuke was choked by Qin Jiran's words, and had it been three years ago, Tao Yuke would definitely have cursed back, but facing the current Qin Jiran, he dared not act so arrogantly anymore. Yet, he couldn't easily swallow this insult, his face turning red over the phone, looking like he was angry but dared not speak.
"You don't need to handle this matter—don't interfere," Qin Jiran said and then hung up the phone. He continued to look at the comments from fans with a cold expression, but he didn't leave any further messages.
Even though he did nothing, the fans' enthusiasm continued to grow.
[Best Actor Qin, I'm your diehard fan, no matter whether you have a true love or not, I love you the most. But if you really have a true love, I will definitely love your true love too, true love is invincible!]
Love his true love himself, he will, and he decidedly doesn't need anyone else's help. Whoever dares to help, he is ready to fight to the death with them!
When Su Yanyi faced Sun Minyi, she gave her nothing but an icy look that couldn't get any colder, without saying anything, but even so, it was enough to make Sun Minyi treading on eggshells, reflecting on whether she had done something wrong, not daring to even breathe too loudly all the way.
Upon arriving at the company, just as Su Yanyi sat down, she saw another assistant, Kang Zhong, walk in with a serious face.
"President Su, Mr. Qin has posted a message on the official website, and the reaction is huge. Mr. Qin has instructed his agent not to respond, and the fans are strongly demanding that the company issue a statement. Many fans believe that the official website has been hacked," Kang Zhong reported with a calm face, yet he was sneakily observing Su Yanyi's expression.
Sun Minyi and Kang Zhong knew about the marriage relationship between Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi, but only Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran themselves knew about the business deal within their marriage.
Su Yanyi looked over Qin Jiran's official website without expression, yet she was quite surprised inside. In her previous life, she didn't remember Qin Jiran ever doing such a thing.
Picking up the phone, she dialed Qin Jiran's number and asked directly, "Why did you do this? What does the company need to do?"
If it had been the Su Yanyi from before, she would never have asked Qin Jiran for his opinion on such a matter and would have just acted according to her own thoughts. So, hearing Su Yanyi ask this question, whether it was Qin Jiran himself or the two assistants, Kang Zhong and Sun Minyi, all were quite surprised.
"Sorry for causing you trouble," Qin Jiran's heart was a bit chaotic. The person he had confessed to was asking him how to deal with the situation, her voice so calm and cool as if it had nothing to do with her, which made his heart ache just thinking about it.
"There's no need to say sorry, you just need to tell me how to handle it," Su Yanyi didn't really like hearing Qin Jiran say sorry like this. All she wanted to do now was to help this man handle the problem.
Su Yanyi was absolutely well-intentioned, but her tone and the brief content made it sound somewhat cold to Qin Jiran, as if she was not too pleased.
Qin Jiran was also contemplating how to deal with the situation he had impulsively created. He could admit to it, or he could also deny it, depending solely on his wish.
"I don't want to deny it." These simple words were spoken with some courage, and after saying them, Qin Jiran held his breath, waiting for Su Yanyi's response.
Did she know that the person he was confessing to was her? Would she mind that he already had someone he truly loved? Or would she have some other thoughts?
Qin Jiran's mind was a bit of a mess, but also somewhat hopeful.
"Okay, then, does the company need to do anything?" Su Yanyi's response came almost instantly after Qin Jiran finished speaking, still with a matter-of-fact attitude.
"...No need, I can handle it myself," Qin Jiran couldn't tell if he was disappointed or had let out a sigh of relief, and he couldn't figure out what exactly Su Yanyi was thinking. His tone had even become somewhat listless.
As for what Su Yanyi was thinking, even she was only half clear on it. Apart from the fact that she definitely wanted to help Qin Jiran, as for what she really thought about the content of Qin Jiran's statement, she was somewhat unsure.
Why would Qin Jiran issue such a statement? Was the true love mentioned in his words her? Was this another type of hype, or was it due to some other reason?
Su Yanyi was a bit curious but didn't like to ask too many questions. Various thoughts flashed through her mind for a moment before settling back into calmness.
Even if she had been reborn, it wasn't possible to suddenly understand emotions she didn't comprehend before.
"You, leave," Su Yanyi said to Sun Minyi, her tone very cold, but no one was surprised because that was just the kind of person Su Yanyi was. Even when she just sat there quietly without speaking, she emanated a chill that made others slightly intimidated.
After Sun Minyi had left, Kang Zhong quietly stood in place, waiting for Su Yanyi's orders.
Su Yanyi looked straight at Kang Zhong, a hint of gratification flashing in her eyes. In her previous life, after she had become vegetative, Kang Zhong had always been responsible for arranging her various needs. Even after her brother had transferred him away, he still visited her in the hospital, showing genuine concern.
However, Kang Zhong felt rather uncomfortable being looked at with such piercing eyes and even began to reflect on whether he had done something wrong to be viewed so sharply by Su Yanyi.
"President Su, please speak directly if you have something to say. If I've done something wrong, I will make sure to correct it," Kang Zhong said, somewhat helplessly.
"You're doing quite well," Su Yanyi had already begun to get used to her good intentions being misunderstood, and she didn't mind too much. After offering a word of praise that actually caused Kang Zhong to widen his eyes in surprise.
Is President Su alright? What's wrong with her? Why is this a bit scary? Could this be the prelude to being fired?
Pushing up his glasses, Kang Zhong said a bit uncomfortably, "Thank you for the praise, President Su. I will continue to do my best."
"Mm," Su Yanyi nodded, seemingly very satisfied with Kang Zhong's response. Kang Zhong felt a bit awkward and pushed his glasses up again, thinking that a blushing man in his thirties was rather unseemly.
"Pay more attention to Mr. Qin's affairs in the future, and do what is necessary to help," Kang Zhong was very thorough in handling tasks, and she felt at ease having him look after Qin Jiran.
"Yes," Kang Zhong responded with a bit of surprise, but he hid it well.
"Find another suitable personal assistant. Sun Minyi won't do," Su Yanyi's tone was cold and her meaning was clear.
This time, Kang Zhong was even more surprised, and his expression grew serious. After looking at Su Yanyi, he nodded earnestly and said, "I understand, I will take care of it."
Although Su Yanyi had only said "won't do" with three words, the weight behind those words was enormous. Coupled with Su Yanyi's cold expression, it was easy for Kang Zhong to infer a lot, but since Su Yanyi didn't say more, he didn't ask further.
