He stuffed the cup into her hand and took her phone away.
Lin Qingqian held the cup with both hands and looked up at him before quickly lowering her eyes. “You’re very brave. You did very well.” Han Liubai said seriously.
Lin Qingqian shook her head. “I’m not as good as you think.”
“Don’t say that.” Han Liubai’s gentle eyes stared at her, as if he had the best scenery in the world in his heart. “You’re brave and kind. You saved me and helped Su Ying. We’re all gathered together because of you.”
“Is that so?” She lowered her eyes and touched the cup with her fingertips.
“What if I say that I once turned a blind eye to the lives of others?”
Han Liubai was stunned.
Lin Qingqian glanced at him and her lips curved. She said self-deprecatingly,
“The human heart is selfish. As long as the knife isn’t pointed at us, no one will resist. ”
“Don’t think too highly of me, and don’t pity me. I’m not worth it.” She put down her cup, got up, and walked to the swivel chair in front of her desk to sit down. “Please call Su Ying in for a moment.”
Han Liubai turned around and looked at her. After a moment, he stood up and nodded.
Su Ying came in very quickly. “Sister Qingqian, what do you need me to do?”
“Help me make an appointment with KK. Tell them that I’ve agreed to their interview.” Lin Qingqian’s calm and composed tone was as if the person with the dispirited aura just now was not her at all. “Also, refuse all the other interview requests. Don’t reveal a word.”
Su Ying nodded. “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements now.”
As soon as she went out, Lu Yuan’s call came in. He had already found out that the video was given to the press by Li Ruzhu.
Lin Qingqian was not surprised to hear this news at all. Instead of saying that it’s Li Ruzhu, it was more accurate to say that it’s Ming Xiao.
“Please help me clear up those videos.”
Lu Yuan said respectfully, “I’m already dealing with it. I’ll be able to clear all the videos in about 15 minutes.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“You’re too polite. What else do you need?” Lu Yuan asked.
Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said softly, “I want you to help me find someone.”
Although the videos had been deleted, this matter was not over. There was a lot of discussion on the Internet. On one hand, the haters were mocking Lin Qingqian for having her image destroyed, and on the other hand, her fans’ hearts ached for Lin Qingqian for being bullied.
Lin Qingqian used her account to send a message.
Shenqian: “In the face of bullying, if one doesn’t die, one remains unyielding.”
As soon as this Weibo post was posted, it immediately became a trending topic. Many celebrities also reposted it to support her and called for a boycott of bullies.
In the evening, there were even official media who displayed their views on this issue. The People’s Daily reported that they wanted to stamp out school bullying. There were even many people from Lin Qingqian’s school who posted on Weibo about how disgusting their school was back then. The school did not care about the bullying incidents at all.
There were even people who hinted that the person who bullied Lin Qingqian in school back then was the daughter of a certain corporation and had donated two buildings to the school, so the school did not dare to interfere at all.
There were posts saying that Lin Qingqian was bullied very badly back then. Fortunately, she resisted later on and did not suffer much more bullying. The others were not so lucky.
They even brought up the matter of people’s suicide from depression back then.
When Ming Xiao saw that the situation had developed beyond her expectations, she was so angry that she smashed her cell phone.
Initially, she only wanted to cause trouble for Lin Qingqian and disgust her. She did not expect…
Her beautiful red nails dug into her palms, and her eyes were dark.
The assistant knocked on the door and entered. “Editor-in-chief Ming, it’s a call from your father.”
Ming Xiao saw the cell phone in her hand and reached out to take it. The assistant was very observant and left. Only then did Ming Xiao say,
“Father…”
This matter had yet to implicate the Ming Corporation for the time being, but now that the Internet was in a buzz, the netizens could easily be led astray. Once the Ming Corporation was involved, it was very difficult not to be affected.
Ming Yuan naturally had to call her to reprimand her.
Ming Xiao was indignant, but she could not refute Ming Yuan’s words. She could only admit her mistake obediently and think of a way to calm the matter down before it blew up.
The posts and topics were all blocked. Some of the posts that were making insinuations about Ming Xiao were directly banned.
She originally wanted to disgust Lin Qingqian, but now, she had to deal with the consequences herself. The more Ming Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became.
This debt must be repaid by Lin Qingqian in the future!!
Lin Qingqian accepted the interview with KK. Because she was wearing a black outfit, it made her face look pale, creating a thin and weak aura that aroused people’s desire to protect her.
The interview script was listed in advance and Lin Qingqian read it once. Other than the work-love part, there were a few questions about school bullying.
Initially, KK was worried that she would refuse to answer and skip it. They did not expect Lin Qingqian to have no objections after reading it.
The entire interview went very smoothly. Lin Qingqian’s answer was even more straightforward than KK had expected, without any evasion.
When she left Fashion Trends, she didn’t know how the reporters received the news and rushed over to interview her.
Lin Qingqian lowered her head and walked towards the car parked by the roadside under the escort of Chen Mu and the security officers.
The reporters followed her relentlessly and kept asking sharp questions, as if they wouldn’t stop until she broke down.
Just as she was about to reach the car door, she heard a reporter ask, “President Lin, the outside world thinks that you’re a role model for women in the new century, but you’ve experienced such an unbearable past. Don’t you want to apologize to your fans?
Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the female reporter who asked the question. Her clear eyes were as cold as a blade.
Her pursed lips relaxed, and her tone was low and cold. “I don’t need to apologize to anyone. The ones who should apologize are those who hurt me.”
With that, her gaze landed on the work pass hanging in front of her. Her red lips curved into a mocking smile. “Zhengfeng Entertainment? The fact that you can ask such a question makes me feel deep sympathy for your company’s cultural concepts. You don’t even have the most basic values. How twisted is this company?”
The female reporter’s face turned green and white at her sarcasm.
When the others saw this, they immediately asked, “President Lin, can you tell me why you were bullied?”
Lin Qingqian’s eyes were cold as she glanced at him indifferently and said unhurriedly, “Your question is like you’re interviewing the victim and asking why she was killed. Why was the victim sexually assaulted? Why wasn’t someone else killed and sexually assaulted?”
The reporter “…”
Damn it! He had been deceived by her face again. He had forgotten that she was not a weak flower at all, but a mini steel cannon. She scolded everyone she saw.
Without waiting for the other reporters to ask any more questions, Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and her cold voice sounded calmly. “I hope all the media here will remember one thing. The pen in your hands should be used for the sake of truth and justice, not for the sake of complacency and popularity. Why was I bullied? You should ask the people who bullied me. Please don’t pin the blame on me.
It’s not my fault that I was bullied, nor is it my shame. It can’t be a reason for you to attack me.”
“Then… May I ask who those people who bullied you back then were? Are they the eldest daughter of a certain corporation as the rumors online say?”
Lin Qingqian said coldly, “Isn’t this something that you reporters should investigate? I have no obligation to tear open my own scars to satisfy your prying desires.”
“But—”
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted. “One day, if you dare to say the name of that corporation, I’ll dare to tell you the name of the bully.” Her bright eyes looked straight at the other party, as if to say, “Do you dare?” The reporter: “…” Dare my ass! Am I not afraid of receiving a lawyer’s letter!!
A trace of mockery flashed across Lin Qingqian’s lips. Just as she was about to get into the car, she heard a scream from the crowd. “Heavens! Look…”
Everyone looked around at the same time. In the end, their gazes landed on the LED display of the mall not far away.
There was only one sentence on the display screen: Qianqian, you fell into the galaxy of the human world and illuminated my entire life. When Lin Qingqian saw this sentence, she was stunned.
Qianqian?
Was it a coincidence?
Before she could react, she heard someone say, “Look, there’s one over there too…”
Everyone looked at the other building. The entire building flickered with a sentence.
“The human world should not make me so happy, but Qianqian, you’re here.”
If one LED display was a coincidence with the same name, the second and third ones would definitely not be a coincidence.
On this evening, on the LED screens of the entire Lan City, all the buildings lit up with a sentence. Every sentence was different. The only similarity was that they were written for a girl called Qianqian.
‘Qianqian, you are my redemption.’
‘Qianqian, you’re the surprise I’ve been looking forward to.’ ‘Qianqian, my wish is very small. There are only four words: You belong to me.’
‘Qianqian, the scars from the past are all your medals now.’
‘Qianqian..
This evening was destined to not be peaceful. No matter which corner of the city it was, people stopped in their tracks and took out their phones to record the romantic moment.
From the first netizen to the second netizen to countless netizens who took photos and posted them online, #Qianqian# became the top trending topic again.
It was also on this night that Lin Qingqian finally understood what it meant by: Even if the entire world speaks ill of you, I will still say sweet nothings to you forever.
In a black Maybach, Jiang Yanshen alighted and walked in front of her in front of everyone. His handsome facial features were gentle, and his warm palm reached out to her— “We’re going home.”
The frost in Lin Qingqian’s eyes had long been melted by those words of love. At this moment, it was filled with smiles and warmth. Her clean little hand was placed in his palm. “Alright.”
When the reporters present saw this scene, they took photos of them crazily. Some of them wanted to go forward to interview them, but before they could get close, they were stopped by the bodyguards Jiang Yanshen had brought.
The two of them got into the car. The chauffeur started the engine and slowly drove off.
Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. The smile on her lips deepened every time she saw a sentence.
Jiang Yanshen leaned over and whispered in her ear, “Did I make you happy this time?”
Lin Qingqian turned to look at him. “Did Song Qin teach you again?”
“No.” Jiang Yanshen held her small hand tightly and touched it to his lips.
“Every word is what I want to say to you.”
The smile in Lin Qingqian’s eyes deepened. She suddenly asked a question that was as different as night and day, to be as different as chalk and cheese. “There are so many big screens. How much did you spend on the ads?”
She frowned.. Her heart ached for the money! o
