Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 338 Press Conference

Let's go back 3 hours.

After finishing her exams, Jiang Muyun drove her Panamera back to the 380-square-meter apartment that Chen Yan had bought for her.

After returning home, her thoughts gradually became clearer.

Time is a great clue; it can connect many things.

Jiang Muyun quickly recalled Chen Yan's various excuses.

Every time she wanted to have a voice or video call with Chen Yan before going to bed, he would make excuses about being at work or socializing.

Looking back now, it's highly likely that he was with Teacher Jiang.

Because if that person were Ruan Yusang, Chen Yan wouldn't have any reservations at all.

They might even be more excited...

That way, everything matches up.

But then she thought of a terrible possibility.

So, she somehow found Ruan Yusang's WeChat ID and clicked to add her.

……

……

Ruan Yusang had just completed the leave application process on her mobile phone.

The deputy director of the TV station saw Ruan Yusang's leave request backstage and approved it without hesitation.

He even personally came to escort Ruan Yusang downstairs.

"Xiao Ruan, you should rest at home during this time, or you can go out for a walk to relax."

“When you come back from your vacation, I’m afraid I’ll have to take on more responsibilities.”

“Our station is about to launch a new 7 pm news program, and I think you would be a good fit to be the host.”

"what?"

Ruan Yusang was somewhat puzzled as to why she, a newly promoted employee, was appointed as the female host for the prime-time 7 pm slot.
This promotion speed is comparable to riding a rocket, isn't it?
What's more, she's currently in the eye of the storm... What is the station thinking...?

"Deputy Director Yang, I am still relatively inexperienced and I am afraid I am not capable of taking on this position," Ruan Bao said modestly, trying to decline.

Although this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for ordinary people, Ruan Bao is now a wealthy woman who lives in a river-view apartment and drives a 911, so she doesn't really care about these things.

The deputy director, however, was adamant: "Your experience is still limited, but we can arrange for you to gain some experience. Here's what we'll do: when you come back, you'll work as an assistant to another host for two months to learn. After two months, you can officially take on the role of host for the new program."

Judging from the deputy director's demeanor, he seemed determined to promote her. After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Yusang finally asked the question that had been bothering her:
"Deputy Director Yang, may I ask why?"

The deputy director smiled somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing serious, it's just that my son will be doing an internship starting in the second half of the year, and he's studying computer science."

"Although it's not a top-tier school, it's at least a second-tier university. I'd like you to ask Mr. Chen if he could arrange an internship for my son at Boss Technology."

Ruan Bao is no longer an ignorant college student; she knows that the deputy director's subtext is definitely not as simple as the so-called internship.

What he wanted was to secure a full-time position as an employee at Boss Technology for his son!
Although Boss Technology has a serious problem with overtime, they have always been very generous with salaries.

Of course, the threshold for talent selection is generally 211 universities or above, and those from second-tier colleges don't even have the qualification for an interview.

The deputy director wanted to send his son, who had only a second-tier college degree, to Boss Technology. No wonder he had to promote me to the prime-time program first.

Ruan Yusang thought this to herself, but on the surface she neither agreed nor refused: "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll go back and pass on a message to President Chen for you."

"Alright, alright, then thank you for your trouble, Xiao Ruan." The deputy director said with a beaming smile.

Ruan Yusang nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then walked in her high heels toward the crimson Porsche 911 in the parking lot.
Once inside the 911, I turned the key and started the engine, which roared loudly.

Ruan Yusang took off her high heels and put on the slip-on shoes she would wear while driving. Just as she was about to shift gears, her phone suddenly "dinged".

Upon opening it, I found a friend request—

Jiang Muyun has requested to add you as a friend.

Why did this mistress add me as a friend?

Despite her doubts, Ruan Yusang clicked "Agree".

Soon, Jiang Muyun sent a message: 【Hello (smile)】

Ha, still smiling?
Smile my ass!
Neighbor Ruan: [What do you want?]

Jiang Muyun: [I want to ask how many days my husband stayed at your place last week?]

Neighbor Ruan: [Please watch your words. That's my husband. He's just playing around with you.]

Jiang Muyun: [Fine, fine, he's your husband, okay? Answer my question first.]

Neighbor Ruan: [Why should I tell you? Why didn't you say so first?]

Jiang Muyun: [...]

Jiang Muyun: [He's been with me for a day. What about you?]

Xiao Ruan next door: [I also only had one day here, is there a problem?]

Jiang Muyun: [I think he'll spend the remaining 5 days with Teacher Jiang.]

Xiao Ruan next door: [Teacher Jiang? You mean that counselor who was exposed in the news?]

Jiang Muyun: [Yes. So I think we can't just sit here and wait for things to get worse. His feelings for Teacher Jiang clearly surpass those for you and me.]

Jiang Muyun: [Even now, has he offered you a single explanation?]

Jiang Muyun: [I'm sure not, right? Because he has to appease Teacher Jiang first, he doesn't have time to consider our feelings at all.]

Jiang Muyun: [If we don't take action soon, I'm afraid the worst might happen...]

Upon seeing this, despite the scorching 30-degree heat outside, Ruan Yusang's heart suddenly turned cold.

She always thought she was the rightful empress, and the woman most favored by Chen Yan.

But after hearing what Jiang Muyun said, Ruan Yusang felt that she was far less important to Chen Yan than Teacher Jiang.

Jiang Muyun didn't say what the worst outcome was, but Ruan Yusang knew—it was that Chen Yan and Jiang Zhixin would get married, and the two of them would become ex-girlfriends and disappear from Chen Yan's life forever.

After taking a deep breath, Ruan Yusang continued replying to messages.

Neighbor Ruan: [Then what do you suggest we do?]

Jiang Muyun: [I might not be able to succeed on my own, but if the two of us can put aside our past grievances and cooperate, we might have a chance of winning.]

Neighbor Ruan: [A collaboration?]

Jiang Muyun: [Yes, I believe he has feelings for both of us. If we really have to choose one, then the two of us combined might be more important than Teacher Jiang.]

Ruan Yusang sat inside 911, the air conditioning blowing cold air onto her delicate face, her rosy lips pressed tightly together.

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, there is some truth to what Jiang Muyun said.

She had already lost Chen Yan once; she absolutely couldn't lose him a second time!

Therefore, compared to the pain of losing Chen Yan, temporarily cooperating with Jiang Muyun isn't entirely unacceptable. After much deliberation, Ruan Yusang sent four words: 【Come to my house to talk.】

……

……

the other side.

As Chen Yan drove his Rolls-Royce Phantom toward Qianchao Bay, he was still completely baffled.

Is Jiang Muyun at Ruan Bao's house?

Has the sun risen in the west?
These two girls usually either argue or fight when they meet, so how come they can now live peacefully under the same roof?
wipe!
Could it be that they've already finished a fight?
Hmm, the more Chen Yan thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and he unconsciously pressed the accelerator pedal down a bit more.

Twenty minutes later, the Rolls-Royce Phantom came to a smooth stop in the underground parking garage of the Qianchaowan residential complex.

Chen Yan locked the car and hurriedly headed towards the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he rushed to the door and pressed his fingerprint to unlock it.

The door opened, but the sight before him utterly astonished him!
Two barefoot girls were curled up on the sofa, chatting and laughing.

Damn, if you didn't know better, you'd think these two were best friends for years!

Chen Yan felt completely disoriented and almost thought he was dreaming.

Believe it or not, he actually dreamed of three women living together peacefully, even sharing a bed!
But that's just a dream!
What's going on here? Can someone explain this to me?
The two women heard the door open and looked towards the entrance.

Upon discovering that it was Chen Yan, he immediately ran over barefoot.

Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang came to Chen Yan's side, one on each side.

Ruan Yusang thoughtfully squatted down and took out slippers from the shoe cabinet for Chen Yan: "Honey, change your shoes."

"hold head high."

Chen Yan responded blankly, then let Ruan Bao help him untie his shoelaces and put on his slippers.

"Honey, come in and sit down."

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Yusang and Jiang Muyun each took Chen Yan's arm and walked into the living room.

Chen Yan's arms were being squeezed by two soft objects, and he felt increasingly dazed.

He had no idea what those two girls were up to.

After Chen Yan sat down on the sofa, the two women sat on either side of him.

Seeing Chen Yan's slightly stiff expression, Ruan Yusang chuckled: "Honey, don't be so nervous."

Damn it, how could I not be nervous!
If you slap me, I'll actually feel more at ease.

Chen Yan thought to himself.

At this moment, Jiang Muyun spoke up: "Honey, I've discussed it with Sister Yusang, and we've come up with a way to help you out of your current predicament."

Sister Yu Sang?

When did you two become so close?

Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on these details.

Chen Yan looked at Jiang Muyun and asked, "What method?"

“You hold a press conference and say that we are just ordinary classmates. That way, the media will have no way to make a fuss about you.”

"But... those netizens won't believe it."

"Whether they believe it or not, there is now an official explanation for this matter."

Chen Yan gave Jiang Muyun a deep look and felt that what she said made sense.

Just like the "script reading in the dark" incident in later years: a male star was photographed by paparazzi going to an actress's room late at night, and the two spent four hours alone together.

Then they insisted on explaining that they were going over the script.

Although the majority of netizens did not accept this explanation, the general tone of the matter was still set in this way.

After all, you didn't film them having sex, but they insist they were reading a script in the dark. What can you do about it?
After pondering for a moment, Chen Yan felt that this method should be the optimal solution at present.

After all, one of these girls has to go to school and the other has to go to work.

Since he couldn't give them a legitimate title, he might as well sever all ties with them in public.

Otherwise, whether at school or on television, there will always be some petty people gossiping behind your back.

Once they sever ties, the two girls will no longer be subject to criticism and can live normal lives.

Chen Yan's gaze slowly swept over Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang's faces, and he said with some guilt, "But wouldn't this be too unfair to you?"

Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang both shook their heads to show they weren't upset, saying that as long as you have us in your heart, we don't care about anything else.

Honestly, Chen Yan was genuinely touched.

What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife?

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan arranged for Gao Yang to coordinate and hold a press conference.

Since this matter is going to be done, the sooner the better.

……

……

9 a.m. the following day.

Boss Technology held a press conference.

Because of the high level of public interest in this event, the media reporters who came to investigate almost completely surrounded the venue.

Like lightning before a summer storm, the spotlights flashed wildly from the moment Chen Yan stepped through the door, almost without stopping, illuminating the entire hall brightly.

Chen Yan walked to the front of the stage, cleared his throat, and spoke into the microphone:
"Good morning, friends from the media. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend Robam Technology's press conference."

"Today, I am here to make a formal clarification regarding some unfounded rumors and over-interpretations circulating online about me and my friends."

As soon as he finished speaking, reporters in the audience eagerly raised their hands, almost shouting their questions:

"Mr. Chen! What is your relationship with the three women exposed online? There are rumors online that you are having affairs with three women at the same time. How do you respond?"

Chen Yan remained calm and said steadily, "The so-called 'having three relationships at the same time' claims circulating online are pure nonsense and are a serious distortion and malicious speculation about our normal social relationships."

"My relationship with Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang is just that of friends. Nothing more."

"My only girlfriend is Jiang Zhixin."
