Chapter 353: The Heartache Was Greater Than The Headache
Now that Xia Jiang had made his stand, no one could defame Su Yan on this matter. After all, Xia Jiang, a big shot in the business world, had to applaud his son for being able to woo Su Yan. This was enough to prove that Su Yan was a very outstanding woman. She was a woman that even wealthy families would fight over.
Of course, Xia Jiang’s words made some people happy, and also made some people depressed. Originally, Chu Beibei had already found a few big marketing accounts and was ready to defame Su Yan, but after seeing Xia Jiang’s speech, she immediately had people cancel it. Even though the Chu family was very powerful, it still depended on who they were compared to. The Xia family wasn’t people the Chu family could offend. The two families were on completely different levels.
… ..
Excellent Era Corporation’s CEO’s office.
Secretary Li Rong stood in front of her desk with her head lowered. She held her breath. Wei Zhou, who was sitting in the boss’s chair, was emitting a terrifying chill. When he woke up this morning, the entire internet was filled with the scenes of him and Xia Zijian arguing at the banquet. When Xia Zijian actually admitted that he liked Su Yan, Wei Zhou felt dejected.
He, as the CEO, felt dejected. Li Rong, who was the secretary, was no better. She was supposed to sleep last night, but just as she lay in bed, someone called her and told her to look at a trending search. Then, she started looking for people to delete trending search. However, no matter how many times she deleted it, there would be more new posts about Wei Zhou that would appear on the trending searches. The online comments became one-sided after Xia Jiang also expressed his stance. Everyone sympathized with and supported Su Yan while praising the father and son of the Xia family, then started to scold Wei Zhou, the ex-husband.
What gave Li Rong the biggest headache was that Xia Jiang’s words seemed to have confirmed Su Yan’s relationship with Xia Zijian. It even gave people the illusion that Su Yan was the Xia family’s “soon-to-be daughter-in-law.” At least half of the netizens expressed that they were optimistic about Xia Zijian and Su Yan. They were a perfect couple, and they would definitely be happy together.
During this period of time, Wei Zhou had put in a lot of effort to win back Su Yan. He had even pushed a lot of his work to the back. He even left his family to accompany Su Yan in Feng City during the New Year. Li Rong had witnessed all of this with her own eyes. Li Rong felt incredulous when she saw the scene of Su Yan reprimanding Wei Zhou in the online video. Was this still the Su Yan she knew? However, she felt even more pity for her boss!
It had been two hours since she came in to report on her work. However, Wei Zhou sat in his chair and didn’t say a word. He only watched the online video over and over again. Li Rong secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, she had gone to the bathroom before she came in. Otherwise, she would have been suffocated. The entire office was like an ice cellar. It was cold and depressing at the same time. It was very compatible with the weather outside.
“When did Xia Zijian and Su Yan meet?” Suddenly, Wei Zhou, who looked like a statue, moved. His eyes stared at Li Rong.
This question was a little personal. Li Rong glanced at Wei Zhou and her heart suddenly skipped a beat. “I will arrange for someone to investigate it now.”
In fact, when he bumped into Xia Zijian and Su Yan on the street, Wei Zhou had ordered Li Rong to investigate it once. It was just that Li Rong had too much work and was too heavy, causing her to neglect this matter. Now that she was suddenly asked about it, it made her heart skip a beat. As a secretary, this was her negligence. She thought that Wei Zhou would scold her because of this matter, but Wei Zhou didn’t say anything. He just waved his hand to signal for her to leave.
Li Rong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She was so touched that she was about to cry. It was unbelievable that she wasn’t reprimanded. She immediately left, as if she had been pardoned.
Seeing Li Rong leave, Wei Zhou retracted his gaze. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time that Li Rong had made a mistake as a secretary. He naturally wouldn’t blame her. After all, it was human nature. Listening to the interview about Xia Jiang on the tablet, Wei Zhou focused his attention on this. Seeing Xia Jiang smile slyly, Wei Zhou knew that Xia Jiang wasn’t joking.
Excellent Era Corporation and North Stream Real Estate Group were both top 100 companies in the country. The two companies had worked together several times in the past few years. North Stream Real Estate Group had built quite a number of dormitories and a large industrial park for Excellent Era Corporation. For such a large project, naturally, he and Xia Jiang had to meet and talk. The two of them had even had dinner together. Wei Zhou knew this, so he knew about Xia Jiang’s temper quite clearly.
He had insomnia last night, so his head was hurting right now. But when he thought about Su Yan’s attitude at the banquet yesterday, he felt like his heart was hurting even more than his head. Su Yan’s calm and cold gaze made him feel like he was suffocating.
