Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 336 The Truth Comes Out! A Public Opinion Storm! (Part 2)

2015 6 Month 15 Day.

It was supposed to be just an ordinary Monday.

……

……

9:30 a.m.

After the weekly meeting at Boss Technology, Chen Yan returned to his office, turned on his computer, and prepared to reply to some work emails.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Gao Yang rushed in in a great hurry.

Chen Yan frowned, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Normally, Gao Yang would never be so reckless; he usually has a blank expression, with almost no emotion on his face.

But seeing him like this today, it feels like the sky has fallen.

"What happened to the company?" Chen Yan asked.

"No, it's not a company matter."

Gao Yang said, panting.

Hearing this, Chen Yan felt instantly relieved, but still asked Gao Yang with a worried expression:
"Something happened at home? Don't panic. No matter what, the company will always be your strongest support!"

"Boss! It's not my family that's in trouble, it's yours!" Gao Yang said anxiously!
"what?!"

Chen Yan slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, "What happened to my parents?"

"It's not your parents, it's you!"

"Whoo~"

Chen Yan let out a long sigh and sat down again, "It's good that they're not my parents..."

Immediately, Chen Yan looked at Gao Yang again, "No, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"

"Your feet, your feet..."

Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, then said, "You should check the trending topics on Weibo yourself."

"Oh, I'm trending again?"

Chen Yan appeared calm, saying, "That's inevitable. After all, my current achievements are seriously inconsistent with my age, and the media likes to make a fuss about that."

"Gao Yang, you need to stay calm when you encounter things like this in the future. As I achieve more and more success, I'll be trending on social media more often..."

While saying "stay calm," Chen Yan casually moved the mouse to open the trending search list.

When the entry with the eye-catching purplish-red "Explosive" tag came into view, Chen Yan's pupils suddenly contracted!

[#BossZhipin Founder Chen Yan Exposed for Cheating on Three Women#]

Chen Yan felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, making his blood seem to freeze for a moment.

"Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"

"As long as it's not solid evidence, there's still hope!"

After silently repeating "calm down" three times in his mind, Chen Yan's breathing calmed down a little.

My slightly trembling fingers eagerly clicked on the trending topic.

What immediately catches the eye are several photos with remarkably high resolution.

First picture: At the last Chamber of Commerce banquet, Jiang Zhixin affectionately linked arms with Chen Yan, looking at him with a smile.

Second picture: On the day of the School of Media Studies graduation ceremony, Chen Yan handed a large bouquet of pink roses to Ruan Yusang. Although he was wearing sunglasses, anyone who knew him could still recognize him at a glance.

The third picture shows Chen Yan walking into a high-end Western restaurant with his arm around Jiang Muyun's waist last Saturday.

By this time, there were already tens of thousands of comments below.

Although the photos didn't show the three women's faces clearly, resourceful netizens have already started posting their personal information...

Upon seeing the photo, Chen Yan felt as if something had exploded in his mind!
An indescribable sense of chaotic sensation, a mixture of icy cold and burning heat, swept over my entire body.

"Who the hell took this picture?!"

He shouted almost reflexively, his voice slightly distorted with extreme shock.

"Gao Yang! How long has this report been published?"

“It hasn’t even been half an hour,” Gao Yang replied.

"Damn! It's already trending at number one so quickly, it's obvious someone is pushing it."

"Investigate! No matter the cost, find out who did it! Which bastard stabbed me in the back?!"

Chen Yan paced anxiously back and forth in his office, each step making a loud thud on the floor, his chest heaving violently.

What's done is done, and dwelling on it won't do any good.

The most urgent task now is to find a solution as soon as possible.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't come up with a proper solution.

Because... these photos really are solid evidence.

"Damn it, which son of a bitch is messing with me!"

Chen Yan grew angrier and angrier, feeling increasingly frustrated. With nowhere to vent his anger, he grabbed the wireless mouse from the table and slammed it hard onto the floor with all his might!
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound.

The mouse shattered into pieces instantly, sending fragments flying everywhere!
.........

the other side.

Polytechnic University.

Summer vacation is just around the corner, and students are entering their final exam week.

Jiang Zhixin happened to be proctoring an exam for a teacher today.

In the examination room, the only sound was the soft rustling of students working on their questions.

Jiang Zhixin sat on the podium, resting her chin on her hand, scrolling through her phone listlessly.

suddenly.

A notification popped up on Weibo—a well-known entrepreneur's affair with multiple women has been confirmed!
Jiang Zhixin clicked on it with a gossipy, spectator-like attitude...

……

About 20 minutes later.

One of the candidates finished the entire exam paper and was preparing to hand it in early and leave the room.

But when he walked to the front of the podium, he was frozen in place by the sight before him.

Jiang Zhixin, a teacher who is usually radiant and hailed as the most beautiful counselor in the university in a century, is now sitting blankly in the chair on the podium, as if her soul has been taken away.

Her face was a horrifying pale white, devoid of any color, like a sheet of rice paper frozen solid in winter.

Her usually bright and alluring peach blossom eyes were now staring blankly out the window, unfocused.

It was a kind of deathly stillness and bewilderment.

Tiny, still-damp teardrops clung to her long eyelashes, and two clear tear tracks snaked down from her dazed eyes, across her lifeless cheeks, and dampened a small patch of her collar.

"Teacher Jiang?"

The student was startled by Jiang's unprecedented behavior and cautiously called out.

The call was like a tiny needle, piercing the vacuum that enveloped Jiang Zhixin.

Her body trembled almost imperceptibly.

His empty eyes moved with tremendous difficulty.

Seeing Teacher Jiang's expression, the student's worry deepened. Not daring to ask any more questions, the student gently placed the exam paper on the edge of the podium and whispered again, "Teacher Jiang, I...I've handed in my paper?"

"Ah."

Jiang Zhixin nodded weakly.

Upon hearing the answer, the student, as if granted a pardon, placed the exam paper on the podium and quickly left the lecture hall.

Jiang Zhixin didn't know how she managed to stay awake until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.

When the last student handed in her exam paper, she weakly picked up a stack of papers and walked out of the classroom.

She did not go to the office building.

Instead, he went to the parking lot and got into his Audi A4.

Once the car door shut out the noise of the outside world, she could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, instantly blurring her vision.

Like a wounded little animal, she curled up in the driver's seat, burying her head in her arms, letting her tears soak her sleeves. After an unknown amount of time, the violent sobbing subsided slightly, leaving only intermittent choking and uncontrollable tears streaming down her face.

She tried to take her phone out of her bag, but her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't hold it several times.

After struggling to take out her phone, Jiang Zhixin dialed a number.

The call connected, and Bai Wei's familiar and cheerful voice came from the other end: "Hello? Xin Xin, my darling, why are you calling me at this hour? Aren't you proctoring an exam?"

"Weiwei...I...I...can I stay at your place tonight?"

…………

At the same time, Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang also learned about this matter, either directly or indirectly.

Although they were also angry, they were clearly much better than Jiang Zhixin.

Jiang Muyun was a mistress who rose to power, so even if she was angry, she could only swallow it silently.

Ruan Yusang had already been cheated on once before.

They developed some psychological resistance.

However, she always thought that Chen Yan was two-timing, and she always regarded Jiang Muyun as her only rival in love.

Now, another woman has appeared out of nowhere.

Jiang Muyun knew Jiang Zhixin's identity because she was at the university of science and technology, so it was impossible for her not to have heard of Jiang Zhixin's reputation.

But Ruan Yusang didn't know that. She only found out from the comments of the all-knowing netizens that this woman, whose looks and temperament were superior to hers, was actually Chen Yan's tutor!

My husband is really... awesome.

They even go after their own teachers...

Suddenly, an idea popped into Ruan Bao's head.

……

……

11 o'clock in the morning.

The official account of Boss Zhipin posted a Weibo post—

The chairman's personal matters are unrelated to the company's operations and business. The company will not provide any response or comment.

There's nothing we can do, because the comment section of the official Weibo account of 【老板直聘】 has been completely flooded with messages.

Left with no other choice, the company's public relations manager, with Chen Yan's consent, posted the following message on Weibo.

The comments section exploded the moment the Weibo post was published.

"Heh, I even idolized Chen Yan, but I never expected him to be this kind of person!"

"May that scumbag die a horrible death!!"

"Playing with emotions and having multiple partners at the same time, does having money make you so great?!"

"Even if that kind of scum is rich, I won't give him a second glance!"

"Don't be angry, upstairs. Look in the mirror first. Someone like you wouldn't even be interested in Mr. Chen..."

Of course, besides these indignant young women, there were also countless male netizens in the comments section.

The comments from these male netizens were quite friendly.

"He just made a mistake that any man could make, is it really worth making such a fuss about?"

“That’s normal. I have money, so I spend even more than him.”

"I saw the photos of those three girls. Although they were all side profiles or even back views, I can only say that it's only human nature. This is not Mr. Chen's fault."

"President Chen is truly a role model for us all!!"

"President Chen, please teach a class! I'll kneel down and listen!"

“My mom just called me for dinner, but when she opened the door she found me kneeling on the floor. She asked me what I was doing. I said I was paying my respects to the ancestral master.”

……

After two hours of this news spreading, all employees of Boss Technology had heard about it.

After all... gossiping is something ingrained in human genes.

Even if the gossip comes from their own boss, it doesn't matter.

Chen Yan's phone started ringing an hour ago and hasn't stopped since.

There are tons of missed calls and unread messages.

This included Mrs. He, Mr. Chen, Jiang Zhixin's parents, school leaders, roommates from dormitory 303, classmates and friends, etc.

However, the three female parties involved in this incident were conspicuously absent.

Chen Yan didn't know how to face them, especially Jiang Zhixin.

I simply put my phone on silent and then just stared blankly at the ceiling.

At 12 a.m.

Gao Yang came in to deliver the food.

"Boss, have something to eat first. We've already sent people to investigate the whistleblower's identity."

Chen Yan remained staring at the ceiling, saying nothing.

Gao Yang didn't dare to say anything to disturb him. He simply placed the lunchbox on the table quietly and then left quietly.

Another half hour passed.

As if he had made a decision, Chen Yan suddenly broke free from his meditative state.

He didn't even glance at the food on the table, grabbed his car keys, and hurriedly ran out.

Today, Boss Technology is a unicorn technology company valued at 80 billion yuan, with more than 1000 employees.

Many newly recruited employees don't have much contact with Chen Yan on a regular basis.

As for them, the fact that the company founder was involved in this sex scandal did not worry them at all; in fact, they were extremely excited.

They couldn't wait to share it with their family and friends.

"Hey, Xiaohua, you know what? The company I just joined recently, holy crap, let me tell you, our big boss..."

And this time just happens to be lunch break time.

Outside in the work area, the new employees were chattering away, discussing the big news that broke this morning.

However, Chen Yan came out.

They immediately returned to their workstations, either eating their takeout with their heads down or pretending to work...

Chen Yan wouldn't hold it against them.

Put yourself in his shoes; if he were an employee, he might be even more gossipy...

Chen Yan strode out of the company gate and hurriedly entered the elevator.

Then... I realized I'd left in such a hurry that I'd forgotten my sunglasses.

Because it was lunchtime, the elevator was crowded.

The moment the elevator doors opened.

Chen Yan clearly felt that the people in the elevator lit up the moment they saw him.

It was as if they had seen some rare treasure.

"Depend on!"

Chen Yan cursed inwardly and braced himself as he entered the elevator.

Even he found it hard to stand being stared at like that, let alone the three female protagonists in this incident.

Jiang Zhixin, in particular, has the most sensitive identity.

I am really nothing!

I've been running away from it for so long before I dare to face it.

Thinking this, Chen Yan ran out almost the instant the elevator doors opened.

I quickly got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom and then floored the accelerator.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom sped towards Jiang Zhixin's home like an arrow released from a bow.
