The Boss Speaks
Brayden was eloquently discussing his strategy when his phone vibrated twice. Casually picking it up, he saw it was a notification from a social media app. Opening it, he froze in place, utterly stunned.
"No way!" Brayden exclaimed.
It turned out that before he could finish his plan, the problem had already been resolved.
Brayden was shocked, and so was everyone else.
Nolan, who had never posted on social media, suddenly made a post on his private account, causing a stir among the business elite.
The internal WeChat group of FX Venture Capital employees exploded with activity.
Anonymous A: [Big news! Big news! Mr. Feng posted on social media!]
They attached a screenshot of the post.
Anonymous B: [Mr. Feng has a social media account? How come I didn't know? Have I not been here long enough?]
Anonymous C: [Three-year newbie here, never knew Mr. Feng had social media.]
Anonymous D: [Six-year veteran here, this is the second time I've seen it. Am I lucky or what?]
Anonymous E: [Hey, shouldn't the focus be on the content of Mr. Feng's post?]
Anonymous A: [Haha, the others are just too shocked that Mr. Feng even has social media.]
At a filming site in Shanghai, Owen's assistant rushed over excitedly.
"Owen, on social media..."
"Is there another issue with Zuri?" Owen asked instinctively, quickly grabbing the phone from his assistant.
The assistant finally managed to complete his sentence, "Mr. Feng posted on social media."
Owen was puzzled. "So what if my brother posted on social media? It's not a big deal. You nearly gave me a heart attack."
Owen grumbled under his breath.
The assistant felt exasperated.
Isn't it shocking enough that the legendary Nolan Feng posted on social media? You should see how many business leaders are reposting and reacting to his post!
The assistant snapped out of his thoughts and quickly corrected, "Owen, wait. What I meant is that Mr. Feng posted to diss the rumor mongers and indirectly defend Zuri."
"What?!"
Owen quickly grabbed the phone back and checked the social media post.
"Holy crap!"
The assistant silently noted that Owen was swearing more frequently these days.
Seeing Owen's fingers moving rapidly on the phone, the assistant grew cautious and peeked at the screen, then quickly intervened, "Brother, you can't post on social media. Ming instructed that you shouldn't post randomly."
Owen ignored him.
My social media, my rules.
Owen attempted to log in, but then...
"When did you change my password?" Owen glared at the assistant.
The assistant shrank back. "Ming changed it. He's the only one who knows the new password."
Meaning, if you want to post, you need to get the password from him.
At the Lin family home, Zuri held her phone, staring at the post that had quickly become a top headline. It was about her.
Nolan: [Not speaking doesn't mean being ungrateful. Crying doesn't mean you're righteous. Believing in a misleading video is ridiculous. Coincidentally, I witnessed a fable of the farmer and the snake, and now a tale of an ingrate. Truly spectacular!]
Zuri stared at the social media username, lost in thought.
"Nolan?"
Could it be that Nolan?
Last month, she had somehow gotten on his bad side, yet here he was, helping to clear her name. This…
Zuri felt a bit guilty.
She remembered the two distinguished figures from the surveillance video; one of them turned out to be the famous Nolan.
Aaron burst into the room, his face lit with excitement, devoid of any anger.
"Zuri, you're such a good daughter."
She had managed to convince Nolan to speak up for her.
Aaron was thrilled. If it weren't for a senior executive congratulating him today, he wouldn't have known that Nolan publicly defended his daughter. Even more satisfying was the fact that so many prominent business leaders followed suit, causing the Lin family's stock to rise by two percent instead of falling.
This was the advantage of associating with major families and wealthy individuals.
Aaron's eyes sparkled with joy as he appraised his daughter, growing more satisfied with every glance.
His daughter was so beautiful, a perfect match for the Feng family heir.
Zuri coldly watched the man in front of her, who had completely changed his attitude. Just yesterday, he wished he could strangle her to avoid implicating the Lin Group. Today, she was his "good daughter."
To him, everything was about profit.
In her previous life, she couldn't bring him or the Lin family any benefits. Instead, she brought shame and controversy, leading to his indifference towards her and his favoring of Saira, even over his biological daughter.
Even knowing someone had an interest in her, he pushed her towards a sadistic, psychopathic man, for the sake of profit, leading her into a life of torment.
Recalling the inhuman life in that dark basement, hatred surged through her like a geyser, filling her heart and bloodshot eyes.
A murderous intent brewed within her, spreading and fermenting.
Aaron, excited, suddenly felt a chill and instinctively hugged his arms. Seeing Zuri's dark expression, he cleared his throat, "Zuri, I was too hasty yesterday and said some harsh words. I didn't mean them. Don't take it to heart. Look, I brought you something."
Aaron placed a gift box in front of her, opening it gently to reveal a dazzling diamond necklace.
"Do you like it? I had it specially brought in from abroad. It's the latest LB model, not yet available in the country."
The dazzling light reflected in her eyes brought her back to her senses. Suppressing her hatred, she said coldly, "If there's nothing else, please leave. I'm very tired."
Aaron noticed her displeasure but dared not say more.
She was now a little princess who needed to be handled with care.
After Aaron left, Zuri took several deep breaths to calm her anger and hatred.
She picked up her phone and called Brayden. The phone rang three times before he answered.
"Hello, this is Zuri."
Hearing the clear, pleasant voice of the young girl, Brayden's lips curved into a smile. He was quite curious about this girl.
A girl who could make Nolan speak up and who Owen cared about deeply—what was her magic?
