It was a pity that Ying Jing still did not know that Wen Yue had been exiled by his Second Uncle for his love. He might even be begging under a bridge. She went to make a sumptuous meal first.
Wen Fucheng knew that she was back, but he didn't want to go out of the room before settling the matter. Han Jiang was reprimanded by him. He hung up and quickly went to verify it.
And he began to wonder who this Ying Jing was. When he received Ying Jing's information, he was so angry that he called the person in charge of the Hucheng District to his office.
It turned out that not only was Ying Jing's name not there but the names of many people who should have been selected were also erased from the system.
A low-level executive had reported the matter but for some reason, it was not escalated to the upper levels even though the competition was almost over. It was obvious that someone had intercepted them.
If it was just one or two omissions, there might still be an explanation. There were so many of them. Someone was definitely behind this.
Someone was openly challenging Dynasty Entertainment's system.
Han Jiang immediately got someone to investigate thoroughly.
Soon, the matter was traced to Shen Bingxi's assistant. Only Han Jiang and the people in charge of the competition zones knew about the list. The persons in charge would definitely not dare to be so brazen. As expected, in the end, someone stood up and said that Shen Bingxi's assistant had treated them to a meal.
There were people from other departments who went with them.
There were often gatherings among colleagues who were on good terms, so they did not think too much about it. They drank some wine that night and vaguely remembered what they said and did.
"I didn't take it seriously at the time. I didn't know it had blown up so much."
"Manager Han, how did the higher-ups find out about this!"
How did he know? Han Jiang wanted to kill these incompetent people. Why didn't he think of a solution when something happened and even asked how he knew?
"I'm telling you clearly now that if this matter isn't handled properly, everyone will be doomed. President Wen personally gave the order."
Fortunately, the matter had not blown up. If it were to blow up online, it would have a huge impact on the company.
Shen Bingxi was on her way back to the set. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. But soon she stopped smiling. Her agent called her and told her to hurry back to the office.
"Back to the office? But I just left the office! The crew is rushing me. We're getting on the plane soon."
The agent was exasperated on the other end of the line. For the first time, he spoke to her in an angry tone. "You have to come back now even if you have something huge going on. And bring that assistant of yours with you. It's fine if you usually suppress the newbies in the production team and your peers in the same batch, but you should never have reached your hand into areas that are out of bounds. You should think about how to explain to the higher-ups in the company. I can't protect you this time."
Shen Bingxi's first reaction was that her assistant had been discovered. But didn't the assistant say it didn't work?
"What the hell is going on? You said you didn't find out anything about the list."
The assistant looked at her tearfully.
"Sister Shen, I swear that I'm really not lying to you. I was almost drunk after dinner that day. There were a lot of people at the scene, and everyone was listening. I did vaguely know a few names. Didn't you say that if I didn't do enough, it would be useless?"
The assistant had been by her side for so many years. She didn't know how to lie, and she didn't dare pull any tricks in front of her.
In the end, Shen Bingxi was still worried about the company and returned to Dynasty Entertainment.
Little did she know that an undercurrent had already begun.
When Shen Bingxi arrived at Han Jiang's office, she was immediately reprimanded. No matter how hard she tried to explain, the other party refused to listen.
"I said I didn't do it. I'm a decent person."
"Forget it. How many innocent people are there in the entertainment industry? It's fine if you used tricks in the past, but now, you even dare to interfere in such a big project. Do you think your career path is too long?!"
Shen Bingxi realized the seriousness of the matter and began to panic.
"I swear I'm telling the truth. I did intend to at first, but when the list didn't reach my assistant, I let it go."
"Now all the evidence points to your assistant. Would your assistant dare to do this without your instructions?"
While Han Jiang was teaching Shen Bingxi a lesson, he also sent someone to contact those whose names had been erased to get them to participate in the competition tomorrow and give them some compensation.
Ying Jing was really stunned when she received the call.
She had yet to reach out to Wen Yue, but the staff had already contacted her. Her attitude was no longer as impatient as before.
After confirming the time and place, she hung up. She lost her appetite facing the table full of fragrant food.
"What happened?"
Wen Fucheng put down his chopsticks and looked at her.
"A magical thing happened. It's probably a turnaround!" She was originally quite annoyed by this matter, but now all her pent-up frustration seemed to have disappeared. "Wen Fucheng, let's go for a walk later! It's very cool today."
She was inviting him.
Even though there were still many things to do here, because seeing her had also delayed a lot of work, he still couldn't refuse.
Especially when faced with the little girl's expectant gaze.
"Okay."
He had no intention of looking at her phone but he happened to be sitting next to it earlier. When Wei Yi's message caused the screen to light up, he looked at it out of the corner of his eye and saw a long paragraph. Only then did a series of follow-ups occur.
After dinner, Wen Fucheng took a walk with Ying Jin. Beside her was the river of Hucheng. The wind was slightly cold, causing the corners of her clothes to flutter.
Many people were out and about at this hour.
The sky darkened slightly, and the neon lights of the city came on.
From where he stood, they could see the iconic tall buildings.
Ying Jing pointed to one of the buildings.
"Do you know the name of the building?"
Of course, Wen Fucheng knew, but since the little princess had asked, he had to pretend not to know.
"What is it called?"
"It's called Ying Jing! That building is named after me. I heard from my brother that a mysterious tycoon bought it."
In the past, renting it out was already an astronomical price. Ying Jing could not fathom how much money it would take to buy a large building.
"I wonder who is lucky enough to own this building."
Wen Fucheng smiled without saying anything.
She walked slowly ahead. From time to time, passersby greeted her.
Even a child wanted to give her the balloon in her hand.
How happy and carefree should she have been before all the bad luck came? She was regarded as a pearl in the palm of her parents and brother.
But why did she do so many outrageous things in her previous life to get Lu Zishu?
"Ying Jing."
She heard him call her name and turned to look at him.
"Wen Fucheng, are you talking to me?"
"Why… why do you like me?"
"That's a bit difficult. Shall I spend the rest of my life telling you the answer?"
