Chapter 440 - 439: Normies Love It

Yu Zejian watched Yun Zijin’s retreating figure, his expression grim. He had no choice but to yield to her threats.

After all, the evidence Yun Zijin had produced was irrefutable. The original male and female leads of *God and Demon Record* had indeed done those things, leaving them with no room for argument.

The most urgent task now was to find new actors to take their places as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Yun Zijin was walking out the doors of Yuepin Media.

To her surprise, the moment she stepped outside, she was swarmed by a group of reporters who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

Zero One and his six men quickly formed a human wall in front of Yun Zijin. The reporters kept trying to squeeze past them but couldn’t break through their barrier.

But they were still close enough for the reporters to start hurling all sorts of questions at her.

"Excuse me, are you a newly signed artist with Yuepin Media?"

"Hello, we saw you arrive in a limited-edition supercar. Would you mind telling us why you’re here at Yuepin Media?"

"An artist from Yuepin Media was recently exposed for being in a relationship. Are you the person they’re dating, Murong You?"

Yun Zijin frowned slightly. ’This is exactly why I’ve said I don’t like getting involved in the entertainment industry.’

’I’d only just shown up, and already they’ve come sniffing around. Someone must have deliberately sent these people to wait here just to ambush me.’

Fan Qingmao received news that Yun Zijin was being mobbed by reporters at the company entrance and immediately rushed over with some staff.

It wasn’t that he wanted to meddle, but Yun Zijin was, after all, Yuepin Media’s second-largest shareholder. If she was being mobbed right on their doorstep and he, the CEO, made no move to help, there was no telling how she might hold a grudge against him for it.

Offending a major shareholder meant his future as CEO would be a difficult one.

"Pardon me, everyone. This is a private company matter, so it’s not convenient for us to comment publicly.

This lady is not a public figure, so we ask that you not focus so much attention on a private citizen."

Fan Qingmao didn’t know if Yun Zijin was willing to reveal her identity, but he was certain that the news couldn’t come from his lips.

Yun Zijin pursed her lips, stopped in her tracks at the entrance of Yuepin Media, and looked up at the reporters trying to shove their microphones up to her nose.

"I am a new shareholder of Yuepin Media. I am here today simply to attend a meeting with the shareholders and senior management.

I have a boyfriend, but he is not anyone from Yuepin Media, so please refrain from wild speculation.

Now, could you please make way?"

The reporters looked abashed under Yun Zijin’s reprimanding gaze. They never imagined that this young woman, who looked like a student, was already a shareholder of Yuepin Media.

Even if she were just a minor shareholder, she was still miles ahead of countless other people.

They had gotten the answer they wanted. And while it was different from what they’d anticipated, it still had bombshell potential. Anxious to be the first to break the story, the crowd of reporters quickly disappeared from Yun Zijin’s view.

Once everyone was gone, Fan Qingmao looked at Yun Zijin apologetically. "Chairman Yun, I’m sorry. This was our oversight. Next time, I’ll be sure to strictly screen anyone loitering around the company."

Fans often waited around the company to see the artists, but this was the first time reporters had ever mobbed someone here.

Yun Zijin glanced at Fan Qingmao, saying nothing about whether she forgave him.

"I’m not a public figure, nor do I have any fame online. As for what happened today, I expect you to investigate it thoroughly and give me a satisfactory explanation."

With that said, she led Zero One and his men past Fan Qingmao and left.

Now that everyone knew Yun Zijin was a company shareholder, someone had already brought her car around for her.

Watching the tail end of the Sielbe Tuatara as it drove away, Fan Qingmao felt a massive headache coming on.

Fan Qingmao couldn’t believe that a person capable of buying a Sielbe Tuatara could be some simple figure.

It was possible that Yun Zijin wielded far more power than even Chairman Yu Zejian.

After all, even though Yu Zejian was rich, it wasn’t a guarantee that he could acquire a limited-edition supercar of that caliber.

Besides, if he wasn’t mistaken, Yun Zijin’s car was practically brand new.

For it to be in that condition, she had likely ordered it directly from the headquarters.

Otherwise, even a well-maintained secondhand car bought through connections would still have noticeable differences from a brand-new one.

It seemed Yun Zijin’s sudden arrival had truly stirred things up.

Yun Zijin, of course, was oblivious to the flurry of thoughts that had just run through Fan Qingmao’s mind at the sight of her car.

Her good mood ruined at Yuepin Media, Yun Zijin drove straight to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.

When she was in a bad mood, a cup of Wangyou Milk Tea always helped.

What Yun Zijin didn’t expect, however, was to find Fu Ze working as a server in the shop when she went for her milk tea.

’Wh-what in the... If a Fu Family member saw this, I can’t even imagine how they’d react.’

The moment Yun Zijin entered, Qin Sitong’s eyes began to dart away evasively.

Fu Ze, however, was perfectly composed, not looking the least bit afraid of being discovered by Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin’s gaze shifted between the two for a long moment. "You two..."

Even though she had anticipated this, seeing it actually happen still felt unbelievable to Yun Zijin.

The difference in family background between Fu Ze and Qin Sitong was immense; she couldn’t be sure the two of them would make it in the end.

Still, Yun Zijin would do everything within her power to give them the greatest possible help, hoping to narrow that gap and help them overcome the obstacle of their families.

According to what Lu Yunque had said before, Yun Zijin figured that as long as they could handle Fu Ze’s mother, everything else would not be an issue.

"To have the great Mr. Fu working as a server in my little shop, I’m truly honored."

Yun Zijin didn’t say much else. At the end of the day, she still hoped the two of them could go the distance.

Fu Ze and Qin Sitong exchanged a look, both sighing in relief.

"I’ll have one Wangyou Milk Tea."

Yun Zijin hadn’t forgotten her original reason for coming to the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop.

Qin Sitong acknowledged the order and turned to make Yun Zijin’s Wangyou Milk Tea.

After getting her Wangyou Milk Tea, Yun Zijin found an empty seat and sat down, then glanced over at Fu Ze.

Qin Sitong was still busy and didn’t notice what was happening over with them.

Fu Ze saw Yun Zijin looking at him and, with a sense of resignation, sat down across from her.

"Go on, ask whatever you want."

"When did you two get together, and how did it happen?"

Yun Zijin didn’t want Qin Sitong to be taken for a ride.

"One time, she was heading back to school after her shift here. It was really late, and when she passed by a little alley, some local thugs blocked her way. I just happened to be passing by at that moment..."

"Are you sure you were just ’passing by’?"

If Qin Sitong worked late, that meant she left around the time the shop closed. That would be 10 p.m., which was indeed quite late.

But as for the "just passing by" part, Yun Zijin didn’t believe a single word.

"AHEM... I noticed she was working until closing time several nights in a row, so I started coming over every night to walk her home from a distance."

That’s also how I got the chance to be the hero saving the damsel in distress.

The whole scenario was a bit cliché, but it worked.

Simpletons like us just eat this stuff up.
