Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 339 Jiang Zhixin Resigns and Goes Abroad (Part 1)

After the press conference, Chen Yan's remarks quickly became a trending topic.

In the afternoon, the top trending topic was still: [#BossZhipin founder Chen Yan exposed for cheating on three women#]

The second trending topic has now become 【#ChenYanAnnouncesGirlfriend#】.

Of course, the vast majority of netizens did not believe this explanation after watching the press conference.

The comments below are like this—

[He's already putting his arm around her waist, and he still says they're just friends?]

The upper class is truly vulgar~

Surely no one actually believes that? Really?

[I envy Mr. Chen; why don't I have a friend like him? (doge)]

Of course, a small number of people still believe the official explanation.

So, this group of people started confronting the group above in the comments section.

Don't believe or spread rumors, trust Mr. Chen!

If a man and a woman have a very close relationship, there's really nothing wrong with putting your arm around each other's waist.

These three girls are all stunning beauties; it's impossible for them to date the same man at the same time.

[Exactly, how could a guy possibly date three beautiful women at the same time? Do you think he's a time management master?]

……

……

Meanwhile, in the apartment Bai Wei rented.

Bai Wei pointed to the news on her phone and said to Jiang Zhixin beside her, "Xinxin, this guy still has some conscience. He publicly admitted in front of the media that you are his only girlfriend."

Jiang Zhixin rested her chin on her hand, gazing out the window, her exquisite and beautiful face devoid of any emotion: "But he still cheated on me."

Seeing her best friend like this, Bai Wei felt bad too.

Although Jiang Zhixin's face seemed expressionless, Bai Wei knew that she had probably shed more tears last night than she had in the previous 25 years combined.

"Ah~"

Bai Wei sighed softly and said, "Actually, men, especially those who are rich and powerful, are indeed more tempted than ordinary people. In addition, Chen Yan is still young, so he is bound to make mistakes sometimes."

As Zuo Qiuming said, "No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. The greatest virtue is to correct one's mistakes."

Despite Bai Wei's harsh words to Chen Yan yesterday, including splashing him with ice water, she actually still hopes that the two can reconcile.

After all... they've already met each other's parents and even bought a villa for their wedding. You could say they're only one piece of paper away from being a real couple.

It would be a real shame if they broke up like this.

Seeing that Jiang Zhixin remained silent, Bai Wei tentatively asked, "How about... we give him another chance?"

Jiang Zhixin's eyes flickered, and she stood up from the sofa: "Weiwei, I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to get some sleep first."

After saying that, he turned and went to the bedroom.

Bai Wei watched Jiang Zhixin's retreating figure, sighed, and muttered to herself, "Sigh~ It seems I'll have to lend you a hand."

As she spoke, she opened her phone and sent Chen Yan a text message: "[Tonight at 7 PM, Xin Xin and I will be going to Raffles City Shopping Mall]"

……

……

Boss Technology, President's Office.

Chen Yan sat in the boss's chair listening to Gao Yang's report.

"Boss, we've found out who leaked the information to the media."

"Who?"

"It's a local private detective agency."

"Have you found out who commissioned this?"

"We found out. They spent 10 yuan to bribe an employee of the studio. According to him, it was commissioned by an employee of Zhilian Recruitment."

"I had already guessed that it was those two old Dengs who were behind this."

Chen Yan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "Go and call Zhou Xiaobing, the head of the marketing department, in."

"Good boss."

Not long after Gao Yang left the president's office, Zhou Xiaobing hurriedly walked in.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Chen Yan stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes sharp as knives through the swirling smoke: "Soldier, I'm giving you a mission."

"What are your orders?" Zhou Xiaobing immediately straightened his back.

"Use all the resources of the marketing department to immediately launch the 'Citywide Plan' (referring to placing advertisements in subway stations in all cities across the country where subways have been opened)." Chen Yan's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable force.

Citywide plan?

Zhou Xiaobing was slightly taken aback. This was a big move. It was originally planned to be gradually implemented at the end of the year. He wondered why the boss wanted to start the plan six months ahead of schedule.

"Boss, are you sure you want to start now?"

"Correct."

Chen Yan tapped his finger on the table, his rhythm clear and precise. "Station halls, platforms, passageways... every single available advertising space, leave none untouched, take it all! Especially the core stations in major cities, we must secure prime locations. I want every commuter taking the subway to see 'Boss Direct Recruitment' as soon as they look up!"

Zhou Xiaobing gasped.

This budget... is absolutely astronomical.

However, since it's the boss's order, there's no point in questioning it. Just execute it with full force and get it done!

"Understood! I will immediately organize a team to tackle the challenges in different cities and strive to secure the framework agreement as quickly as possible."

……

……

Time quietly slipped towards six o'clock in the evening.

Bai Wei drove her white BMW Mini Cooper, carrying Jiang Zhixin, to the brightly lit Raffles City shopping mall.

The two chose a Japanese restaurant and sat down.

However, Jiang Zhixin had a poor appetite and spent most of her time staring out the window in a daze.

Just after seven o'clock, the two came out of the restaurant. Bai Wei took Jiang Zhixin's arm and followed the flow of people toward the elevator leading to the underground parking garage.

There were quite a few vehicles in the underground parking lot, and the lighting was rather dim.

“Look, my little white car is over there.” Bai Wei pointed to her small Mini not far away.

However, as they approached, they discovered that something was wrong.

A massive, elegantly designed yet imposing black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked diagonally in front of Bai Wei's Mini Cooper in an almost domineering manner, effectively blocking the Mini in the parking space.

"What's going on?! Who's parking so rudely?!"

Bai Wei had never seen Chen Yan's Rolls-Royce before and thought it was someone else's car, which made her furious.

Just as she was about to take out her phone to call security, the driver's side door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom opened.

Gao Yang, dressed in a sharp suit, walked down the street. His gaze passed over the sullen Bai Wei and landed directly on Jiang Zhixin, who stood behind her with a cold expression.

“Ms. Jiang,” Gao Yang bowed slightly, his voice clear and steady, “President Chen has something to say to you. Please get in the car.”

The air froze instantly.

Bai Wei was stunned at first, then realized: "This car belongs to Chen Yan? Damn! What is he up to?!"

Jiang Zhixin, on the other hand, remained calm. The moment she saw the Rolls-Royce's license plate, she knew it was that man coming to see her.

Gao Yang maintained a polite demeanor, but subtly positioned himself between Bai Wei and Jiang Zhixin, his purpose clear. He then repeated to Jiang Zhixin:
"Ms. Jiang, Mr. Chen is waiting for you in the car. Please give him some time."

Jiang Zhixin's gaze passed over Gao Yang and landed on the dark, almost opaque rear window of the Rolls-Royce.

The car windows were tightly closed, so she couldn't see the person inside, but she could feel a deep gaze seemingly piercing through the glass and fixed on her.

Her beautiful face revealed little emotion, except for a slight tremor in her long eyelashes.

The air conditioning in the basement, mixed with the smell of gasoline, created a slightly oppressive atmosphere.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Zhixin gently pulled her hand away from Bai Wei's, took a step forward, and spoke in a calm voice:

"it is good."

After saying that, Jiang Zhixin turned back to look at Bai Wei and said, "Weiwei, wait for me."

Without further hesitation, she leaned over and sat down next to the back door of the Rolls-Royce that Gao Yang had opened.

The car door closed silently behind her, shutting out Bai Wei's concerned gaze and Gao Yang's relieved expression.

The inside of the car is another world.

The air was filled with a familiar masculine scent, and a suffocating silence.

In the spacious back seat, the man she had loved, resented, and whose emotions were now extremely complex, was gazing intently at her.

“Xinxin…” Chen Yan’s deep voice broke the silence.

Jiang Zhixin didn't look at him, her gaze fixed on the monitor on the back of the chair in front of her, and simply replied with a single word: "Speak."

Chen Yan reached out to grasp Jiang Zhixin's soft hand, but she shook him off directly: "Mr. Chen, just say what you have to say. My best friend is waiting for me outside the car."

Chen Yan sighed helplessly and asked, "Can...you forgive me?"

Jiang Zhixin thought for a moment, then turned to look at him: "Can you guarantee that you will never associate with them again?"

Chen Yan knew she was referring to Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang, but he couldn't answer the question and could only remain silent...

When Jiang Zhixin saw Chen Yan like this, her heart felt as if it had been stabbed hard by a needle for no reason, and she felt a piercing pain.

She forced back her tears and said, trying to sound strong, "Okay, I understand what Mr. Chen means."

After saying that, she opened the car door and hurriedly got out, then quickly got into the passenger seat of the BMW Mini.

She was afraid that if she waited any longer, her tears would burst out.

She didn't want him to see her cry for him!
……

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom emitted a deep, restrained engine roar as it slowly drove away under Gao Yang's control, disappearing into the dim light of the underground parking garage.

Inside the white BMW Mini Cooper, the air seemed to freeze.

Bai Wei nervously watched Jiang Zhixin, who was sitting upright in the passenger seat. Her profile looked particularly pale in the dim light of the dashboard, and her lips were pressed into a stubborn straight line.

"Xinxin? What did he say? How did your talk go?" Bai Wei asked cautiously, her heart pounding with anxiety.

Jiang Zhixin did not answer.

She simply remained in that position, her gaze blankly fixed on the corner where the Rolls-Royce had disappeared, as if trying to see through the darkness.

The silence lasted for a few seconds, like a taut string.

Suddenly, the string snapped.

A suppressed sob escaped from Jiang Zhixin's throat.

The next second, she suddenly bent over, curled up, hugged her knees tightly with her arms, and buried her face in them.

Emotions that had been suppressed for too long burst forth like a flood breaking through a dam.

Jiang Zhixin's shoulders trembled violently, her sobs muffled in her arms, echoing in the cramped carriage, making Bai Wei's heart clench.

"What did he say?! Did he bully you again?! That bastard!"

Bai Wei was both angry and anxious. Seeing her best friend's breakdown, a surge of anger rushed to her head.

She took out her phone and quickly sent a text message to Chen Yan:

What's wrong with you? Why is Xinxin crying again?! What did you say to her?!

The notification sound of the text message being sent successfully rang. Bai Wei gripped her phone tightly, staring intently at the screen, then anxiously looked at Jiang Zhixin beside her, who was crying so hard she could barely breathe. She felt like she was suffocating herself.

A few seconds later, the phone screen lit up.

This is Chen Yan's reply.

Only one line of text—

I'm sorry, please take good care of her for me.

"asshole……"

Bai Wei gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath.

She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her turbulent emotions, and gently stroked Jiang Zhixin's trembling back again and again:

"Xinxin, cry, it'll make you feel better... It's okay, I'm here with you... Let's go home..."
