When Jennie arrived at the bottom of the building, there was still a large group of reporters trying to force their way inside Yueying. The Yueying security guards used up all their forces and could barely hold them back.
She did not halt in her steps as she walked through and stopped at the car beside the crowd.
"Director Kim, are we going straight back to the company?" Xiao Mei asked carefully as Jennie's expression seemed cold. She seemed to be even cooler than her usual self.
Jennie opened the door and sat inside. Buckling up, she said, "Help me send this to the Han Corporation first, and then send the document back to the PR Department."
She then handed a thick leather-bound envelope to Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei closed the door and took the item from her. Studying it in doubt, she was then surprised to see the address printed on it. As she was about to ask Jennie something, she changed her mind after she saw Jennie's cold face.
Director Kim never liked people discussing her private life, and earlier, she seemed to have had a glimpse of it. Actually, after being by her side for so many years, Xiao Mei had never seen this side of her. Apart from being more headstrong when facing other competitors, she was usually easygoing and gentle.
"Got it, Director!" Xiao Mei replied and then kept the envelope.
...
It was near evening. The sky was turning dark and rain was expected to come soon although the wet roads from the morning were now dried up.
After dropping Xiao Mei off, Jennie left.
...
Traveling on the road, Jennie did not really feel right inside.
Mr. Manoban had helped her a lot in this matter, so she felt that she needed to thank him properly and with something instant too.
After a while, she had no idea how to thank him. A gift? Flowers? She did not really know what he liked.
It was the first time Haruto saw Lisa use his phone when he was at work. He did not even notice when CEO Lu called out to him. After a while, he put his phone aside and his usual calmness returned to his face.
"Master, CEO Lu said..."
"Chairman Manoban, can you consider our company's proposal?" The middle-aged man spoke up as soon as he saw Lisa's attention return.
He sipped some tea as he flipped through the document in his hand. "CEO Lu, I'm just a businessman that focuses on the end results. I don't really mind the process. You just have to focus on your current project. We'll definitely give you a chance if you provide us with satisfactory results. It all just depends on you."
The middle-aged man seemed grateful. "Thank you, Chairman Manoban. We'll do our best to achieve perfection!"
Lisa nodded and closed the folder in his hand., "Mmm, I'm confident in both you and your company. We'll stop here today. Look for Vice President Wen if you need anything else."
"Okay, thank you, Chairman Manoban!"
...
Jennie was thinking hard on her own since she did not get an answer from Lisa. Without realizing it, she had driven to the New Era Plaza.
It was pretty crowded at night. There were people dancing in the public square and the streetlamps were already lit up at 5.30 p.m. since the sky had turned pretty dark. The dim lights shrouded the whole square with a hazy vibe.
Jennie got down, locked her car, and then went towards the busy streets.
...
At the same time, inside the CEO office of the Han Corporation.
Kai, who had just returned from City C, was now sitting in front of his table. He was looking at the entertainment news on his screen with a hardened expression as if he was shrouded in ice. He seemed really scary and Secretary Wang beside him shivered a little.
In the few days that CEO Han had left City Z, chaos had ensued. As the orphanage matter was still a popular topic, there was no turning back for Ms. Krystal now with what had just happened.
Pa!
Kai slammed the mouse down, seeming all gloomy. Secretary Wang was shocked.
"CEO Han, someone's probably defaming Ms. Krystal on purpose. I've heard that Ms. Krystal was attacked the moment she walked out of the hotel, and these incidents..." Secretary Wang tried to explain.
"Just what happened? I remember I wanted you to tell her to appear less in public. What exactly did you tell her?" Kai glared at Secretary Wang coldly.
"CEO Han, Ms. Krystal said it was the wedding of Ms. Naeyon and Mr. Jeongyeon, so she wanted to wish them in person. She was just trying to be nice. Unexpectedly, they ran into Ms. Jennie and things escalated quickly," Secretary Wang explained.
Kai's eyes darkened and a cold light flashed through his pupils. "Jennie? How is she related to this?"
"No, CEO Han... It's not related to Ms. Jennie. Yu Lingling exposed that Ms. Jennie was expelled from the military academy, and Ms. Jennie... She left before the banquet ended. Ms. Naeyon thought that Ms. Krystal..."
Secretary Wang did not continue because he noticed Kai's face getting colder and colder. He could feel the chill even though he was standing quite a distance away from him.
"About Jennie getting expelled from military school? Wasn't this matter erased? How did they find out?" Kai demanded.
Secretary Wang shook his head. "Maybe they found out after talking to their friends. What should we do now, CEO Han? Ms. Krystal has called you many times, and Yueying is now flooded with reporters. I also heard that all of Ms. Krystal's films are being halted. Her lead roles in several big films have been removed as well. She gave me a call just now..."
