It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 111: A new path to recovery: a new chapter

"Dong, dong, dong——"

The doorbell rang again. Luo Yichen took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and slowly opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Wu Xinyan's agent, Sister Zhang, her face filled with anxiety and worry. When she saw Luo Yichen, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and hurriedly said, "Boss Luo, you're finally back! Xinyan..."

"What happened to Xinyan?" Luo Yichen's heart instantly rose to his throat, and his tone was full of anxiety.

"Hey, many brands are still waiting and watching Xinyan's endorsements and announcements. Some have even proposed to terminate the contract..." Sister Zhang hesitated, looking at Luo Yichen's increasingly unpleasant expression, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Luo, the current situation is very unfavorable to Xinyan. Can you think of a solution?"

Luo Yichen frowned, he knew that what Sister Zhang said was true.

Although the scandal has been clarified, online rumors cannot be completely eliminated overnight. It is understandable that some brands choose to wait and see or terminate the contract in order to avoid risks.

"I understand. I'll take care of it." Luo Yichen said in a firm tone and gave Sister Zhang a reassuring look.

After Sister Zhang left, Luo Yichen returned to the room, looked at Wu Xinyan who was sitting silently beside the bed, and hugged her in his arms with heartache.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Luo Yichen comforted softly, his tone gentle but firm.

Wu Xinyan nodded gently and buried her head in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and the uneasiness in her heart subsided a little.

However, things turned out to be far more complicated than they had imagined.

At the shareholders' meeting of the Luo Group, several shareholders questioned Wu Xinyan's scandal, believing that the incident had seriously damaged the reputation of the Luo Group and asked Luo Yichen to restrain his wife's behavior.

"Mr. Luo, we understand your feelings for your wife, but you also have to consider the interests of the company!" a gray-haired shareholder said in a deep voice, "This scandal has a significant impact on the company's stock price. We can't just sit back and watch!"

"Yes, Mr. Luo, you know, this is a critical period for the company's development, and we can't have any mistakes!" Another shareholder also echoed.

Luo Yichen's face turned pale. He knew that what these shareholders said made sense, but he would never sacrifice Wu Xinyan for the benefit of the company.

"Everyone," Luo Yichen said firmly, "I will handle this incident well. Please trust my ability."

The shareholders looked at each other. Luo Yichen's attitude was firm, so they had nothing to say and could only give up for the time being.

After the meeting, Luo Yichen returned to his office and rubbed his brows wearily. He knew that this storm was far from over...

At the same time, in a dark rental house, paparazzi Wang was excitedly browsing his phone, looking at all the negative news about Wu Xinyan on the Internet, with a sinister smile on his lips.

"Wu Xinyan, Luo Yichen, do you think you can defeat me like this?" Wang Gouzai said with gritted teeth, "This is just the beginning, the real show is yet to come!"

He turned on the computer, his ten fingers rapidly tapping on the keyboard, a more sinister plan brewing in his mind...

"Ding-dong-"

A message alert sounded from his phone. Wang Goupai clicked on it and saw that it was from an unfamiliar number:

"Do you want to bring down Wu Xinyan? I know a secret..."

As Zhao Heifen saw that Wu Xinyan's scandal storm gradually subsided, the twisted anger in his heart not only did not go out, but instead burned more and more fiercely.

He stared at the phone screen with a ferocious look on his face, his knuckles cracking as if he was going to crush the phone.

"Why! Why can she get away with it?!"

He slammed his phone on the table and pounded away at the keyboard, vicious words pouring out from his fingertips: "Wu Xinyan, don't be so complacent! Do you think you can clear yourself by forcing that little star to confess? You're just relying on the Luo family's power! A vicious woman like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later!"

As soon as this Weibo post was released, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing a thousand waves.

Some netizens who did not know the truth were once again led astray and began to question whether Wu Xinyan was really innocent.

However, this time, Wu Xinyan was not as eager to refute as before. There was no trace of panic on her face, but instead an unprecedented determination.

She knew very well that endless explanations would only lead to endless excuses, and only by taking practical actions could she truly silence the gossips.

She picked up her coat and walked straight to the door. "Sister Zhang, prepare the car. We are going to XX Company."

XX Company is a partner of a brand endorsed by Wu Xinyan. After the scandal, they have been taking a wait-and-see attitude towards contract renewal.

Wu Xinyan decided to visit them in person and dispel their doubts with sincerity and strength.

When we arrived downstairs of XX Company, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, as if it was also feeling unfair about Wu Xinyan's experience.

She took a deep breath, picked up her handbag, and walked into the company gate resolutely.

However, things did not go as smoothly as she had imagined.

The person in charge of XX Company was very cold towards her arrival, and his words were full of doubt and distrust.

Wu Xinyan was not discouraged. She patiently explained to the other party and recounted her efforts and achievements for the brand one by one.

Time passed minute by minute, the rain became heavier, and Wu Xinyan's figure looked particularly thin in the company lobby.

Just as she was about to get up and leave, Sister Zhang's phone suddenly rang...

Sister Zhang's cell phone rang like the sound of nature. She picked up the call and a look of joy gradually appeared on her face.

"Yes, yes! We will definitely attend on time!"

After hanging up the phone, Sister Zhang excitedly said to Wu Xinyan, "Xinyan, good news! Several mainstream media outlets have contacted us and want to interview you! It seems those groundless rumors haven't scared off true friends."

Wu Xinyan's eyes lit up and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She knew very well that this was not only an opportunity, but also a challenge.

What she had to do was to seize this opportunity and prove to everyone that she, Wu Xinyan, could not be easily defeated by those malicious slanders!

A few days later, several exclusive interview reports about Wu Xinyan appeared on major media platforms.

In the report, Wu Xinyan sincerely recounted her experiences and feelings. She did not evade or make excuses, and her frank attitude won the favor of some media people.

At the same time, Liu Gongguan, head of the public relations department of Roche Group, was racking his brains for a new project opportunity for the company.

This project is of great significance to the Roche Group, but the competition is extremely fierce. One of the competitors is eyeing the opportunity and wants to take advantage of it to grab a piece of fat meat.

"Sister Liu, I heard that XX company is also competing for this project. They have a close relationship with Wang Goupai. I'm worried..." the assistant said worriedly.

Public Relations Officer Liu's face darkened. She naturally understood what the assistant meant.

If XX Company gets this project, they will definitely take the opportunity to publicize it, and may even hype up Wu Xinyan's scandal again. By then, the Luo Group will be in an even more passive position.

"We absolutely cannot let them succeed!" A gleam of light flashed in PR Liu's eyes. "Inform everyone to make every effort to prepare for the project bidding. We must ensure that everything goes smoothly!"

However, just as Wu Xinyan was actively preparing the project bidding materials, she found that things were not as simple as she had imagined.

Some key industry data and information seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not obtain them.

"Someone is secretly obstructing us!" Wu Xinyan keenly sensed something was amiss. She put down the documents in her hand, a cold look in her eyes. "It seems that some people are unwilling to give up so easily..."

She picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Please help me find out who has been asking about me recently, especially..."

"Who in particular?" asked the person on the other end of the phone.

"Especially those related to XX company." Wu Xinyan's tone was cold and her eyes were firm, as if she had foreseen something.
