Jin Yuanyuan's Top-Tier Life

The event was a great success; the brand was very satisfied, and the company was also very satisfied.

The US headquarters also specifically requested that Jin Yuanyuan and the China regional general manager fly to the Los Angeles office together to conduct a joint work report at the end of the month.

However, just before flying to the United States, Jin Yuanyuan went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation into the fire accident at the Zhuqizhuang event site.

Her father, Jin Yuanbao, was also in the meeting room.

Chen Dali, the security chief on the day, and Zhao Zhuoran, the catering manager who participated in the firefighting, both came.

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Jin Yuanbao sat down next to his daughter and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Oh, I had a cup of coffee." Jin Yuanyuan was slightly embarrassed and moved her swivel chair a little further away from him.

"You've been drinking coffee ever since you went abroad, it's not good for your health," Jin Yuanbao added.

"Oh," Jin Yuanyuan simply replied, then looked down at her phone again.

Fortunately, at that moment, Section Chief Lin from the police station, along with Director Li and Director Gao, the heads of Xixi Wetland Park, entered together.

As soon as the three of them entered, they all took the initiative to walk up to Jin Yuanbao and shake hands with him.

"I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way despite your busy schedule, Professor Jin."

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Jin."

"Professor Jin has been so busy lately. Has the restoration of the ancient buildings at the Banyan Tree started yet?"

Jin Yuanbao stood up, suddenly seeming like a different person. He smiled with extreme elegance, his demeanor perfectly composed. His voice was also different from before, calmly replying, "It's alright, I was just in time. The Banyan Tree project will start next week, so everything is fine now."

Jin Yuanyuan, Chen Dali, and Zhao Zhuoran also stood up early and stood a little further away, watching them talk.

At that moment, Section Chief Yuan from the appraisal department pushed open the door and entered. Ignoring the others' continued greetings, he immediately hugged Jin Yuanbao and asked, "Senior brother, it's been five years since we last met, hasn't it?"

"Yes." Jin Yuanbao was hugged, yet he was still able to straighten his back, displaying remarkable composure.

Jin Yuanyuan couldn't help but purse her lips and take a step back.

Zhao Zhuoran, standing beside her, had no choice but to step back as well.

Finally, the group took their seats, and the huge conference room was filled with the five of them in a row, with Jin Yuanyuan and her two companions sitting opposite them.

"Hey, what's going on here? Are we old folks sitting together?" Section Chief Lin, who was the organizer, spoke first. "Even if we're all about to retire, you young people shouldn't look down on us like this."

"No, no, I just sat down anywhere." Chen Dali was quite familiar with Section Chief Lin, so he quickly spoke first.

Neither Jin Yuanyuan nor Chen Dali spoke; they were both uncomfortable with this way of communicating.

"Alright, that's settled then. Old Lin, hurry up and tell me, I have to go to the scene later." Section Chief Yuan turned on his computer and connected it to the projector.

"Let me start by saying that the reason I called everyone here today is to talk about what happened at Zhuqi Manor that day." After a professional smile, Section Chief Lin began, "I won't waste any time. It's been confirmed that the incident was caused by cold fireworks. Of course, after reviewing the CCTV footage from that time, we've also identified the suspect as a girl under fifteen years old. She said she and some friends bought cold fireworks to celebrate her idol's upcoming birthday and planned to set them off at the site. However, they unexpectedly exploded outside Zhuqi Manor. In their panic, the girls threw away the other cold fireworks they were holding. One of them went through the low wall on the side of the pavilion, igniting the curtain and causing the accident. The girls' hands were also burned... The matter is now confirmed."

Section Chief Yuan displayed some pictures and videos on the projector to corroborate what he had said. One of them showed several young girls squatting outside a low wall, fiddling with something, when suddenly a flash of light appeared, and the girls scattered and ran away.

"Everyone saw what happened, right? Although what happened was an accident, there were also security oversights." Section Chief Lin looked at Jin Yuanyuan and Chen Dali. "The security personnel didn't set up a post at Banbiting, which was one of the oversights."

Chen Dali didn't dare to speak and could only nod.

"Using curtains to cover the plaques and murals is really inappropriate," Section Chief Lin said, looking at Director Gao and Director Li. "Furthermore, these curtains drag on the floor, which is also a safety hazard. We found relevant videos about this."

"Yes." Director Gao nodded as well.

Director Li, who had more authority over the management of Xixi Wetland Park, coughed lightly before saying, "This is temporary; no one expected something like this to happen."

"Yes, but it's better to be safe than sorry." Section Chief Lin smiled sincerely.

"Yes, yes." Director Li smiled slightly and looked at Director Gao.

Director Gao bowed slightly and said, "That's really unfortunate. But we do have fire safety inspections every day. On the day of the event, I specifically reminded Jin Yuanyuan and the others to check the fire extinguishers. Right, Yuanyuan?"

Upon hearing her name called, Jin Yuanyuan immediately sat up straight from her bystander posture and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, Director Gao checked it."

"Alright, let's get to your point." Section Chief Lin changed the subject. "Zhixiang Company did report this event, and all the paperwork is in order, but they didn't develop a contingency plan with the security company for such unexpected events..."

"This is something no one expected," Chen Dali said. "Section Chief Lin, there's really nothing we can do about it..."

"We haven't even gotten to you yet, so don't speak." Section Chief Lin just looked at Jin Yuanyuan. "Given the situation at the time, you were allowed to do the activity, but you also have to take responsibility."

"Okay." Jin Yuanyuan didn't object or question it; she agreed immediately.

"Submit a written apology to me later." Section Chief Lin was extremely satisfied with Jin Yuanyuan's attitude. "Because a police report was filed, a case closure report is required."

"Understood." Jin Yuanyuan replied politely.

"Of course, you bear some responsibility for this, but those fans also need to take responsibility. Their parents will be here this afternoon, and this matter needs to be resolved. Because they are minors, we can only offer a written apology and compensation from their parents. This will depend on the price offered by Teacher Jin."

Section Chief Lin then looked at Zhao Zhuoran and said, "I watched the video. Your reaction was quick and you did the right thing. I'll give you a verbal commendation here."

"Thank you." Zhao Zhuoran smiled broadly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Teacher Jin, since you were the one who called the police, you'll need to get our signatures in the end." Section Chief Lin then turned to Jin Yuanbao. "Regarding the repairs, you'll be discussing it with Director Gao and Director Li. The main issue should be the cost..."

"It's okay, no charge. I'm almost done." Jin Yuanbao looked very calm, which made Jin Yuanyuan want to rage again.

However, she held back. "Section Chief Lin, I've insured this activity, and the process is already underway. So, part of Teacher Jin's expenses can be covered by our insurance compensation. We can't let Teacher Jin waste her time for nothing."

"Wow, that's good." Section Chief Lin expressed his satisfaction. "Teacher Jin, your daughter is really capable; she's very clear-headed. These days, many companies don't get event accident insurance, but if something really happens, it's still a good safeguard."

"Actually, it wasn't me; it was a requirement from our company, it's a normal procedure." Jin Yuanyuan's smile was a little stiff. "It's okay, I'll handle the accounting through the company later."

Jin Yuanbao glanced at his daughter but said nothing.

"Chen Dali, your recent activities have been plagued with problems one after another. Don't think I don't know just because no one has called the police. We'll talk about this separately another day."

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Dali, with his robust physique, was quite obedient in front of Section Chief Lin.

"There's one more thing you need to take seriously," Section Chief Lin suddenly said seriously. "I'll try to keep it simple."

Because she was facing Jin Yuanyuan again, she had no choice but to straighten up and pretend to listen carefully.

"Here's what happened: someone filmed a video and uploaded it online. It must have been someone at the scene." Section Chief Lin paused again. "Because of the celebrity's influence, the video has gone viral due to relevant keywords and is already trending. Please keep an eye on it, and let me know immediately if there are any negative consequences."

"What negative consequences might there be?" Jin Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously opened her phone to search as well.

"It's hard to say, but we should still be careful. After all, this kind of thing isn't good for your company, is it? And it's not good for your brand either, is it?"

"Yes, that's right." Jin Yuanyuan nodded. "You're right to remind me. I'll keep an eye on this."

"We still need to pay more attention to those live streams and short videos from young people. They're trending on social media all the time, as if it's some kind of fun." Section Chief Lin actually sighed. "Nothing is trivial; we must be very careful."

"Okay." Jin Yuanyuan nodded again.

Anyway, the compensation is secured, and the case can be closed within the time frame of the fire alarm, so everyone is satisfied.

Section Chief Yuan tried to talk to Jin Yuanbao more, but Jin Yuanbao only said, "We'll meet later. I need to talk to my daughter first."

"You, your daughter is all grown up now, what else do you have to worry about?" Section Chief Yuan could only shake his head helplessly behind him.

However, Jin Yuanyuan had no intention of waiting for her father and walked out very quickly.

"Yuanyuan." Jin Yuanbao called out to her from behind.

Jin Yuanyuan had no choice but to stop and stand at the gate, watching him hurry towards her. But before he could speak, she suddenly asked Jin Yuanbao, "Why did you call the police? Couldn't you have just fixed it yourself? It wouldn't have taken any effort!"

"Yuanyuan, this is a matter of principle. You should call the police when something like this happens." Jin Yuanbao was stunned for a moment, but still patiently explained, "This is a big deal. What if the fire spreads to Zhuqi Manor? What if you can't put out the fire? What if someone sets the fire..."

"Fine, I won't say anything more. You've always been right, always right." Jin Yuanyuan's temper flared up again.

Chen Dali and Zhao Zhuoran, who had originally wanted to greet Jin Yuanyuan, exchanged a glance and then silently walked away.

"Yuanyuan, if I hadn't called the police, would the suspect have been caught? Would your company have been able to get compensation?" Jin Yuanbao asked earnestly.

Jin Yuanyuan looked at her father and said, "I will not call the police or escalate the incident before the event is over."

"Just because I'm your father, and you know I'll definitely come to fix this mural, are you so sure I can fix it without charging you?" Jin Yuanbao's voice was gentle, but every word was a question.

"Yes, I know for sure, absolutely certain, that you won't take the money, because you've always owed me!" Jin Yuanyuan's voice was also gentle, but every sentence was a response, and every word was an accusation.

"Look, here you are again. Can't you be a little more tolerant? Can't you talk to me calmly? Do we have to have a fight?" Jin Yuanbao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, then lowered his voice and said, "Come to the ancient architecture team to see me in a few days. I'll cook you something nice to eat. You've lost a lot of weight."

"I'm going to America tomorrow." Jin Yuanyuan was extremely disgusted by his frequent displays of fatherly love. "You can go by yourself. I have to go back to the company for a meeting."

After saying that, she turned and walked away, not caring that this wasn't the way back to the company; she just wanted to escape her father's gaze.
