Poor Ying Jing still doesn't know that Wen Yue has been exiled by his second uncle for love, she might be begging under some overpass right now.
She first went to happily cook a sumptuous meal.
Wen Fucheng knew she was back, but since things were not handled well, he didn't go out.
Han Jiang was scolded harshly by him and hurried to verify after hanging up the phone.
And he began to deeply question the background of this Ying Jing.
When he got Ying Jing's information, he was so angry that he called the person in charge of the Hu City division to his office.
Upon investigation, it turned out that not only was Ying Jing's name absent, but many names that should have been specially chosen were also erased from the system, scattered across several major divisions.
There was feedback from below, but why it never reached the upper levels was unknown, clearly someone was blocking it.
If it were just one or two omissions, there might be an explanation, but with so many, someone was definitely up to no good.
This is someone openly challenging Dynasty Entertainment's system.
Han Jiang immediately ordered a thorough investigation, sparing no one.
It quickly pointed to Shen Bingxi's assistant, as the list held by Han Jiang was only known to him and a few division leaders. The leaders definitely wouldn't dare be so blatant. As expected, someone finally came forward saying Shen Bingxi's assistant had treated them to a meal.
There were people from other departments present at that time too.
Colleagues with good relationships often have gatherings, so they didn't think much of it.
They drank some wine that night, they vaguely remembered what was said and done.
They didn't take it seriously at the time, not knowing it would blow up now.
"Manager Han, how did this get found out!"
How it got found out, Han Jiang now wanted to strangle these incompetent people. Instead of thinking about solutions when something goes wrong, they ask how it was discovered.
"I'm telling you now, if this isn't handled well, everyone will be in trouble, it's a direct order from President Wen."
Fortunately, the matter hasn't blown up yet; if it hit the internet and ugly voices emerged at the start, it would greatly affect the company.
Shen Bingxi was currently returning to the film set, visibly in a good mood.
But she soon couldn't smile when her manager called to hurry her back to the company.
"Back to the company? I just left the company, why go back. The set is pushing, and I'm about to board the plane."
The manager was furious over the phone, yelling at her for the first time. "Whatever big thing you have, just get back right now, and bring that assistant of yours along. It's one thing to cause small scenes, bullying the crew and rookies, but you should never meddle in things you shouldn't, think about how to explain to the higher-ups at the company, I can't cover you this time."
Shen Bingxi's first reaction was that the assistant was caught trying to get Han Jiang's list.
But didn't the assistant say it wasn't successful?
"What's going on? Didn't you say you didn't get any info about the list?"
The assistant looked at her tearfully.
"Sister Shen, I swear, I'm not lying, I was quite drunk after that meal, and with so many people there, everyone babbling. I really just vaguely knew a few names, weren't you the one who said too few wouldn't be useful so we didn't proceed?"
The assistant had been with her for many years, wouldn't lie, and didn't dare play tricks.
Shen Bingxi was still wary of the company, so she returned to Dynasty Entertainment.
Little did she know a storm was brewing beneath the surface.
As soon as Shen Bingxi entered Han Jiang's office, she was verbally lashed no matter how she shouted her innocence, he wouldn't listen.
"I told you I didn't do it, if I say so then I didn't. I conduct myself uprightly."
"Oh, come on, who in the entertainment circle is pure? It's one thing for your little tricks before, but now you're daring to involve yourself in such a big project, are you tired of a long career path?"
Shen Bingxi, realizing the gravity of the situation, started to panic.
"I swear I'm telling the truth, I indeed had such plans at first but since the list didn't reach my assistant, I let it be."
"All evidence now points to your assistant, would she dare do this without your orders?"
While reprimanding her, Han Jiang also had staff reach out to those whose names were erased, inviting them to compete their final day tomorrow and offering compensatory measures.
Ying Jing was quite dumbfounded to receive the call.
She hadn't even contacted Wen Yue when the staff contacted her, and their attitude had changed from impatient to quite accommodating.
So accommodating Ying Jing thought she was dreaming.
After confirming the time and place, she hung up the phone.
Facing a table full of delicious food, she lost her appetite.
"What's wrong?"
Wen Fucheng put down his chopsticks, looking at her.
"Something amazing happened, I guess it's a turning point!" She had been quite troubled by this matter, but now it seemed all her frustration had vanished. "Wen Fucheng, shall we go for a walk later? It's really cool today."
She was inviting him.
Even though there were still many things to do here, he had delayed quite a bit of work to come see her.
But he couldn't refuse.
Especially facing the hopeful eyes of the young girl.
"Sure."
He had no intention of looking at her phone; it was just that he happened to be sitting next to it. A message from Weiyi made the screen light up, and he glanced out of the corner of his eye, seeing a long message.
Then a series of events unfolded.
After dinner, Wen Fucheng took on the responsibility of accompanying Ying Jing for a walk.
They just walked a lap around the neighborhood!
Next to them was the river of Hu City, with the cool river breeze lifting her skirt.
This spot's quite popular with people nearby.
The sky was getting dark, city neon lights were coming on.
From where they stood, they could see those iconic skyscrapers.
Ying Jing pointed at one of them.
"Do you know what that building's called?"
Wen Fucheng certainly knew, but since the little princess asked, he had to pretend not to know.
"What is it called?"
"It's called Ying Jing! That building is named after me. I've heard from my brother that a mysterious wealthy person bought it."
It used to be rented out for sky-high prices, who knows what kind of funds it takes to buy a building, Ying Jing certainly doesn't know.
"I wonder who's so lucky to own the Ying Jing building."
Wen Fucheng just smiled without saying a word.
She walked ahead slowly, often people passing by greeted her.
Even children wanted to give her their balloons.
Before any misfortune struck, how joyful and carefree she was, the apple of her family's eyes.
But why, in the previous life, did she do all those outrageous things just to have Lu Zishu?
"Ying Jing."
Hearing her name called, Ying Jing looked back at him.
"Wen Fucheng, are you talking to me?"
"Why, why do you like me?"
"That's a tough question. How about I spend a lifetime giving you the answer?"
