Gu Yuanzhou’s sharp eyes scanned the reporter, seemingly trying to figure out why he was so bold.
However, facing so many cameras, Gu Yuanzhou decided to evade them.
“This decision is internal to our company, no comment!”
The reporter stubbornly continued his queries.
“Then may I ask, will there be a chance for Mr. Gu to have Miss Ye serve as the spokesperson for the new product in the future?”
“Not for the time being!”
“So, will Mr. Gu stop using other models for his new products?”
“Not necessarily, we may work with other models. But who we will choose to be the celebrity currently remains confidential.”
The reporter wanted to ask more, but Gu Yuanzhou had lost his patience to answer, so he turned off the microphone and left.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
The journalist had just voiced what I had on my mind.
It seemed that Gu Yuanzhou had fulfilled his promise and ended Ye Mengyan’s endorsement.
Regardless, my small goal had been achieved, and I felt a slight relaxation in my heart.
Later, I returned to my office and took out the files I had previously prepared to collaborate with another celebrity.
I felt this female celebrity’s temperament matched my expectations for Zhenyi to become a high-end brand.
After organizing the files, I delivered them to Gu Yuanzhou’s office.
At that time, Gu Yuanzhou was on the phone. Seeing me walk in, he hung up.
“How about it, I’ve agreed to all your requests!”
“President Gu, these are not my demands, they are the development strategies of the entire company. There are other ways for you to be nice to her, such as giving her millions of dollars. But don’t ever tie her to the company, it really doesn’t suit.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanzhou fell silent.
His silence was essentially an acceptance of my suggestion.
Afterward, I handed him the proposal I had prepared.
After a glance, he started to read it seriously. After reading it, he looked at me with squinting eyes.
“Okay, let’s do as you suggest!”
Seeing Gu Yuanzhou agree so readily, I was secretly pleased inside.
I took his signed proposal to be executed.
As long as we follow my strategy, the company is sure to get better and better.
Just as I was about to turn around and head out, he stopped me.
“Wait a minute!”
“Does President Gu have something else?”
“Regarding the proposal, I feel you have put a lot of thought into the future of the company.”
“Yes, I have always said, I want the company to do better and better.”
He rose from the sofa and slowly walked towards me, his tone gentle.
“How is your health now?”
“Thank you for your concern, President Gu, I’m doing better.”
He was about to take my arm in his hand, but I instinctively retreated, rejecting his closeness.
He frowned slightly.
“What, you still have opinions of me?”
I smiled faintly and replied,
“President Gu, remember this; I was nearly killed by Ye Mengyan. That’s how people are, once they’ve fallen into a pit, they won’t fall into it again.”
He fell silent, his hands in his pockets, and he stepped back.
“I always thought you have a chip on your shoulder with everyone. About what you said, I will investigate it. I believe Mengyan is not that evil.”
“The reason I didn’t call the police yesterday was because I needed to consider the welfare of Zhenyi Company. Once I have signed a new model and the public has forgotten about Ye Mengyan, I will still call the police. I can’t let the person who hurt me go unpunished.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s face darkened once more.
“Did Ding Yinuo tell you to do this?”
“That’s why I want to call the police. If the police do not find out the truth, people will slander Ding Yinuo.”
“I know Ye Mengyan’s personality, she wouldn’t do something like this.”
“That’s just your illusion! Fine, since you’re so stubborn, let’s wait for the police to reveal the truth!”
I was determined to take Ye Mengyan down this time, there was no way I could let her off the hook again.
But Gu Yuanzhou stopped me.
“Give me some time, I will figure it out. If she really did something wrong, I won’t cover it up.”
“Alright, but only one week!”
I thought to myself, as long as Gu Yuanzhou investigates who took my phone that day, he will be able to identify that it was Ye Mengyan.
This wouldn’t take much effort on his part.
“One week is too short, how about half a month?”
I stared at him once more, scoffing:
“In President Gu’s eyes, is my life not valuable? Do I have to give the murderer another chance to kill me?”
When he heard this, he finally compromised.
“Okay then, ten days. I’ll give you an answer in ten days.”
Since Gu Yuanzhou said so, I didn’t insist.
In my mind, I had already calculated that ten days was just enough time to sign a new model, and by then, people in the company would have almost forgotten about Ye Mengyan.
At that time, even if Ye Mengyan went to jail, it wouldn’t affect the company in any way.
In the next few days, I put my plan into action. I contacted the famous international model Bai Ling, negotiated a price for her to be our spokesperson, signed a contract, and scheduled her to come to the company for a photo shoot.
As a matter of fact, everything was going according to plan.
The clothes I designed looked sophisticated and high-end on Bai Ling. With Bai Ling’s exceptional temperament, she looked extremely elegant the moment she put on the clothes.
When Gu Yuanzhou saw the final images, he could tell that the professional model was on a totally different level compared to Ye Mengyan.
He fell silent again.
Although he didn’t admit defeat, he did acknowledge my taste.
“It seems that in terms of clothing aesthetics, you women do have a natural advantage.”
I scoffed.
Not just me, any person with functional eyesight could see that.
It was just that he liked Ye Mengyan so much that he was blinded by her halo, right?
Three days later.
I went to dinner with Wenya, and Ding Yinuo came along.
During the meal, Ding Yinuo sat on my left, helping me pick up dishes and peel shrimp.
“Is your arm still bothering you?”
His primary concern at this moment was my health, and this was the question he asked the most every day.
“No, it’s fine, it’s healed!”
“Try lifting it a bit higher and let me see!”
I tried, and although my arm was movable, its range of motion was somewhat limited and I couldn’t lift it above my head.
Ding Yinuo did some acupressure massage for me, “Good, put it down, you still need some more rest.”
While drinking her beverage, Wenya said, “Ayun, with Ding Yinuo looking after you, it doesn’t matter even if you break your arm.”
“What do you mean it doesn’t matter if my arm is broken? That woman has to pay.”
Ding Yinuo’s face immediately turned cold at my words.
Wenya took advantage of the situation and asked, “Didn’t you say you were going to report her to the police? Why is there no news about it after so many days? I haven’t heard anything on the news.”
“Last time Ye Mengyan had an epileptic attack … I couldn’t send her in, Gu Yuanzhou said to wait a few days!”
“Ah, she has epilepsy?”
Wenya was shocked. She didn’t seem to believe it. She turned her head and asked Ding Yinuo, “Can you check if Ye Mengyan really has epilepsy?”
Originally, Wenya just casually asked, but the result Ding Yinuo found was something that shocked all of us.
