“Huo Qingyuan, what did you just say?”
Huo Qingyuan began to feign ignorance and asked, “Huh? What did I say? Second sister-in-law, did you hear wrongly?”
Yan Jinyi smiled, “Are you sure?”
“…”
‘Why would I go home so quickly? Isn’t it good to go hang out with my friends?’
Yan Jinyi turned to look at Huo Xishen and said with a smile on her face, “Mr. Huo, am I on the hot search list?”
“Yes.”
“Is this why you took me out on a trip?”
Huo Xishen’s thin lips were pursed and he didn’t answer.
Yan Jinyi looked into his deep eyes and suddenly felt a warm and fuzzy feeling in her heart.
“Huo Xishen.”
She rarely called him by his name so he asked with his eyes raised, “Huh?”
“Would it kill you to admit that you like me?”
Huo Xishen frowned but he quickly eased up again. “Darling, you’re overly concerned.”
‘Psht! Doggy Huo, you’re really cowardly. I hate you.’
Yan Jinyi humphed coldly and quickly proceeded upstairs.
She knew very clearly why she was on the hot search list but Huo Xishen had really angered her this time.
She decided to run away from home!
Shen Yan had just returned from abroad and immediately had to prepare the content for the new product launch next year. Hence, she was rather busy during this period of time.
“Ms. Shen, I’d like to speak to you about our spokesperson, Yan Jinyi.”
As soon as Shen Yan returned to the office, the deputy director of SY hurriedly caught up to her.
“Okay, go ahead.”
“Ms. Shen, Yan Jinyi has launched a public service campaign about ‘rescuing children who are victims of child trafficking’ because of her new movie and is acting as the spokesperson herself. However, it is now revealed that she has embezzled some funds and absconded with the money donated by the rest of the artists and fans.”
The deputy director paused, knowing that Shen Yan had a good relationship with Yan Jinyi. However, the situation at the moment was really serious. “Mr. Shen, if we continue to work with Yan Jinyi, it may affect the company’s image.”
“So?”
“I suggest that we hurry up and cancel the cooperation with her while we still can, so as not be implicated by her.”
Shen Yan didn’t reply and simply waved her hand. “You go ahead and get busy.”
“Okay, take care, Miss Shen.”
‘How could Jinyi have embezzled the funds? There must be some misunderstanding in between.’
Either that, or she was being harmed.
Although she hadn’t spent much time with Yan Jinyi, Shen Yan knew her very well.
She took out her cell phone and logged onto Weibo, only to see that Yan Jinyi had become the subject of controversy.
However, the matter was very serious this time and many authoritative official Weibo accounts had issued articles to criticize her and even the film “Moon” was affected. It may no longer be nominated and showcased in the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.
In less than a day, many things had happened and she didn’t believe that there was no one secretly behind this.
‘Will Jinyi be affected?’
She quickly pulled out her cell phone to call Yan Jinyi but no one picked up for a long time.
After thinking about it, Shen Yan called Huo Qingyuan again but still, no one answered.
This time, she was completely anxious. ‘Could it be that something has really gone wrong?’
Huo Zihang had gone on a business trip to the US lately. Shen Yan didn’t even have Huo Xishen’s phone number and frankly speaking, she was rather scared of Huo Xishen.
‘I can’t possibly call Old Master Huo. In case he doesn’t know what happened…’
After staring at the phone screen for a long time, Shen Yan finally called the phone number that she had already memorized for a long time.
This time, the call was quickly answered, and the alluring male voice slowly filled her ears. “What is it?”
Her heart trembled and Shen Yan somehow felt that she was getting a little teary-eyed. “Sorry to disturb you but Jinyi has been uncontactable. Is she affected by the news?”
