"Yes... Everyone sees Wanru’s contributions to ES, and now, doesn’t this mean that Wanru’s reputation is completely ruined?"
"Perhaps with this downfall, Chen Wanru will never have a chance to rise again!"
"Regardless, we must think of some way to solve this..."
"How can we solve it? Hold a press conference?"
"Now that the jury has already issued such a punishment, even if we hold a press conference, it will be utterly useless; everyone will just think we are putting on a show."
"But we can’t just watch Chen Wanru leave the entertainment circle ..."
At this heated moment of discussion, the phone of ES’s vice president rang again.
The vice president glanced at the caller ID and immediately said, "It’s Wanru calling, let’s see what she has to say."
Everyone fell silent, focusing intently as the vice president answered the phone.
"Wanru? Where are you now? Are you alright?" ES’s vice president spoke, not hiding his concern. Follow current novels on NoveIꜰire.net
"I’m fine." Chen Wanru’s voice sounded slightly weary and continued indifferently, "I suppose you all know about everything, so I won’t waste words. I’m calling to express my stance. Vice president, you know I’ve been in this circle for ten years, and now I’m married, it’s about time I properly played the role of a wife. With this scandal breaking out, it also presents an opportunity. I’ll soon make a public statement officially withdrawing from the entertainment circle."
"Wanru, you don’t need to do this, we can think of a solution..."
"No need, vice president, you know in your heart that there is no better choice than me leaving the entertainment circle. Now, being silent and withdrawing is the best outcome. Anything else is just like a clown performing for others—merely adding to their disgust." Chen Wanru’s tone carried a hint of self-mockery: "Nowadays, being married and having an affair, sleeping my way up— it’s all so disgraceful. There’s no need to ruin even the last bit of good, right?"
ES’s vice president, hearing Chen Wanru say this, didn’t know what to say for a while. After a long pause, he lightly said, "Then fine, Wanru, let’s do as you say."
"But, vice president, before I leave the entertainment circle, there is one thing I ask."
"Blacklist Jian Chenxi." Chen Wanru uttered these five words without hesitation, paused for a moment, then continued, "Ling Momo is good, the teacher is legendary; she can definitely support ES in the future. So even if we blacklist Jian Chenxi, it won’t create difficulties for ES’s future. I, Chen Wanru, after all, have long been a part of ES, and now to be framed by a newcomer who joined two years ago to this extent—I don’t think my request is too much, is it? We should always remember past affections, right?"
The vice president of ES pondered for a moment, then nodded, agreeing, "Alright."
"Thank you," Chen Wanru said lightly, her goal achieved, she abruptly hung up.
Actually, she had a million ways to deal with Jian Chenxi, but it was because of Li Qingshen that she chose this self-damaging method.
Only, whether that man understands or not, she had always, without complaint or regret, been desperately doing everything for him.
