Chapter 36 Let's Make It Clear Today

Yan Wen was very direct as she expressed herself clearly, moving fast so that no one could stop her.

Within the crowd, a voice stood out. "What do you mean 'in the future'? Miss Yan Wen, have you finally decided to make a comeback?"

The studio was not big and everyone in the industry recognized this reporter's firm voice.

"Why is Star Elite's reporter here? They're Dahua's exclusive subsidiary, they only interview international stars!"

"What sort of backing does Yan Wen have? Quick, this is going to be today's headline!"

It had been a while since Yan Wen faced so many reporters. But she steadied herself and said every word that she meant to say.

"I will take responsibility for everything I did and said today. I will not disappoint any of my fans."

"That's right. From today onwards, I am officially back in the entertainment industry and I hope to bring more of my work tó everyone."

Yan Wen finished her piece, spun around elegantly, and left.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward and Bai Zhexuan's face was blacker than black.

The directors were furious. Yan Wen had not only turned their photography studio into her own press conference but had also made public that their products were counterfeit.

"President Bai, is this how you lead?"

"This isn't over!"

They had initially counted on using Yan Wen's popularity to sell a large number of products, but now Yan Wen's words would definitely bring them trouble.

Bai Zhexuan was trapped between a rock and a hard place. He was so angry that he could rip Yan Wen apart.

From when Yan Wen had made her appearance to the last words spoken, Xia had recorded them all on her phone. Now, she upløaded it anonymously.

Within a short few minutes, this real-time press conference clip became a hot topic.

"Wow, Yan Wen is so cool. How many stars dare to tell the truth nowadays!"

"The president of Grand Entertainment is really Scum. How can he treat his ex-fianceé like that? Is he even human? We should boycott Grand Entertainment's artistes and only support Yan Wen!"

"If all stars had such positive energy, the young people nowadays wouldn't be so blind about the stars they follow!"

"Yan Wen's so beautiful and so charming. I'm going to be her fan. I'll watch every show she's in!"

Everything was to Yan Wen's advantage. Jiang Lingyun entered the MPV huffily and called Bai Zhexuan. "Are you going to let her get away with that? Get her out of there, if she says anything more, we're ruined."

Bai Zhexuan was already planning to, without her reminder.

Yan Wen's careless words were causing his and Grand Entertainment's reputátion to nosedive and they might even be sued by the company.

He attributed everything to Yan Wen's ability to bear a grudge and cause trouble.

"You've gone too far. You think you can make a comeback with just some words? Don't forget that your contract is still in my hands. Without my permission, you can't take on anything!" Bai Zhexuan's eyes were full of hate as he caught up to Yan Wen.

"Then we'll wait and see."Yan Wen raised an eyebrow at him, her expression was mild.

"You'll pay for what you did today. Even if you don't clear out names, I'll still find a way to let Lingyun be the best actress. When the time comes, you won't stand a chance. Go and apologize to them immediately!"

Bai Zhexuan was speaking to Yan Wen when the Star Elite reporter shoved his microphone on front of him.

"President Bai, is what Miss Yan Wen said true? Has her next show been discussed?"

Looking at the reporter who suddenly showed up in front of him, Bai Zhexuan had to release his hand that was grabbing onto Yan Wen.

Before he could say anything, Yan Wen spoke up.

"It's still in the planning stage. President Bai did not want to announce the news of my comeback yet. As you know, recently there have been some challenges in President Bai's private life. I'm not at liberty to say too much. But I would like everyone to understand that even though I am contracted with Grand Entertainment, I have my own assistant and manager, and I must approve my own schedule and activities. Any exceptions are not in line with my contract with the company."

These words, methodical and clear, were like a knife to Bai Zhexuan's throat. He was unable to say anything. If he denied it, would it not prove that he was freezing out Yan Wen for Jiang Lingyun's sake?

Yan Wen was so aggressive today! She just could not let go of the past relationship, that must be why she was so extreme... Bai Zhexuan thought the pieces were clicking into place for him. He sighed deeply, unsure of what she wanted him to do.

He and Jiang Lingyun were not going to stop. No matter what Yan Wen did, he was never getting back together with her. Bai Zhexuan might have been held up by the Star Elite reporter, but the directors had called security over. They were not going to let Yan Wen go so easily.

"Your company has already accepted our money. If you don't want to shoot this ad today, return us double the amount for the deposit and damages! You must also make a public apology! What counterfeit goods? Where's your proof?"

"You're just a washed-up female actress, what can you do?"

With the security slowly surrounding Yan Wen, Xia and Chen Yu did not think as they rushed to stand in front of her. All the other Grand Entertainment employees were trapped outside.

The directors looked at each other and with naked lust on their faces, said, "There's still time if you change your mind now. Get changed now and take a few large-scale sexy photos. We'll pretend none of it happened and you won't need to refund us."

This was the 'special care' for Yan Wen?

Just as he finished speaking, a phone call came in.

"What? We didn't— Okay, okay! I will immediately... I'm so sorry!" He shivered as he hung up, and when he looked at Yan Wen, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

He quickly said, "Alright, alright, let's just say how unlucky we are and be done with it."

Xia did not understand his words. Bai Zhexuan had dismissed the Star Elite reporter and come forward. "Director Zhang, we are in the wrong here. Let's discuss this, look...."

"Discuss? Do you know who just called me? This woman's backer is a big deal. We will drop this, but you, and only you, will need to pay us every single cent of damages!"

Their luck must be really bad, to anger the Dahua Group...

Who had such great clout to make the opposing party back down with just one phone call?

Xia nudged Yan Wen with an elbow. "Is it your Mr. Jiang?"

Yan Wen did not reply, but her eyes held the answer.

Did that man have to care for her so much?

Besides Jiang Sui-an, no one else would help her like this. She had not realized that he was so effective, helping her out of a bad situation in a snap.

The directors left her alone and turned their attention to Bai Zhexuan.
