After accidentally sending a late-night reading to her ex-boyfriend
Chapter 4: Admit your mistakes; you can resign before you lose face.
Lin Mu, who was standing at the door, was stunned for a moment. He withdrew his outstretched hand and looked at the dark-faced boss inside the room. He sighed. Jiang Yue was doomed now.
What exactly did Jiang Yue do? The atmosphere in the room was frighteningly tense.
"Boss, I'll go talk to HR and Ms. Jiang right away, but the contract the company signed with the talent was very harsh, with substantial compensation. I'm afraid Ms. Jiang can't afford it..."
Yes, Boyuan's predecessor was a ruthless black workshop that preyed on people.
The reforms have only just begun, and many influencers have had to change their contracts as a result.
Jiang Yue was unlucky. She was already at the bottom of the class and hadn't even been chosen yet. If she were to be compensated according to the contract now, it would be a considerable sum.
"The business partners will be attending the banquet tomorrow night. If she can't deliver a normal, satisfactory script, then kick her out."
After Mo Chenyuan finished speaking, his eyes darkened.
……
Xiao Jing couldn't wait for Jiang Yue, so he came to her room to find her. He helped Xiao Yu open the door and saw that Jiang Yue's eyes were swollen from crying.
Xiao Jing was instantly flustered.
"Did Shen Yuan insult you?"
Xiao Jing thought that this was probably true. Mo Chenyuan was always very serious about his work, but treating Jiang Yue like this was too much.
"Jiang Yueyue, don't cry. I'll go talk to Shen Yuan."
Jiang Yue looked up, her face full of grievance: "Xiao Jing, if I lose my job..."
Xiao Jing spoke without hesitation: "If Shen Yuan insists, I'll help you find a new job. I also know a lot of other resources. If all else fails, our Xiao family has a company. Jiang Yueyue, it's just a job."
Xiao Jing gently comforted him.
Jiang Yue cried even harder, but this time it was an act: "But, Bo Yuan and I signed a betting agreement at the beginning, and we are still far from meeting the target. According to the contract, if I am kicked out, I will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. Will I have to pay off the debt by barely scraping by?"
Xiao Jing felt even more heartache.
"I'll take care of the money problem for you."
"But Xiao Jing, we're friends, I don't want your money."
Xiao Jing patted his chest and said, "Once I've invested, you can pay me back when you make money and become a big internet celebrity."
Jiang Yue instantly realized that Xiao Jing was truly a reliable and good person. Before, when Jiang Yue feigned pitifulness with Xiao Jing, it was only to secure a job opportunity.
Now, seeing how loyal and righteous Xiao Jing is, she's even starting to have other ideas. If she were to be with Xiao Jing, he would be her eternal support, and all her debts would become insignificant. She could change careers, enter society, and have a fresh start.
Just as Jiang Yue was about to express her gratitude, Lin Mu knocked on the door. Upon seeing Lin Mu, Jiang Yue had already suppressed her past emotions and looked up at him.
"Assistant Lin, how much compensation does Mo Chenyuan want me to provide?"
"The boss didn't mean that." Lin Mu didn't expect that someone as cold-hearted as Mo Chenyuan would let Jiang Yue go and instead give her the opportunity to directly face GG Merchant.
At tomorrow's banquet, someone of Jiang Yue's status wouldn't even be able to get a seat.
"The boss wants you to write a proper script that can prove your abilities. There's a business partner dinner tomorrow night, and you'll need to personally hand it to the client." Lin Mu thought for a moment and then added, "The boss said that tomorrow, in front of outsiders, you need to tone down those low-brow ideas!"
Not up to standard?
That's genuine disdain.
After Lin Mu finished giving his instructions, he left. Xiao Jing looked at Jiang Yue excitedly and said, "I knew it. Shen Yuan is actually a pretty good person."
"Jiang Yueyue, I'll go to the party with you tomorrow. I'll help you negotiate!"
"But..." Jiang Yue had already agreed on the terms of leaving the company with Xiao Jing, so she didn't need to pay any penalty. Xiao Jing and Mo Chenyuan were friends, so maybe she wouldn't have to pay that money. Wouldn't it be better if she could terminate the contract without any pain?
But Xiao Jing is naive; he insists that this path is feasible.
Jiang Yue forced a smile.
Forget it, I'll just take it as proof to Mo Chenyuan that I'm not a good-for-nothing.
"Okay, Xiao Jing, I believe you. I'll go borrow a computer from Xiao Yu. I absolutely can't let you down."
Xiaoyu was very generous and gave the laptop to Jiang Yue.
As Jiang Yue skillfully logged into WeChat, she said, "Xiao Jing, could you help me check what part of my script is not satisfactory to Mo Chenyuan?"
As Jiang Yue spoke, she opened the document.
【A-Yuan, x me…】
The laptop exploded onto the screen, catching Xiao Jing off guard as he leaned in. Jiang Yue slammed the laptop shut in that instant. Just one sentence from him made her blush to the roots of her ears.
How did her cyber-histories end up here?
During her university years, Jiang Yue, relying on her family's wealth, was lazy and incompetent. She was with Mo Chenyuan and naturally coveted his body.
After two years of dating, Mo Chenyuan agreed to move into his apartment, but they've been sleeping separately ever since. She hasn't gotten anything in return, not even a kiss. So what's the point of writing a little post to comfort herself?
She remembered that the article had once topped the subscription charts. After the breakup, it was deleted because returning to China was illegal, so this was probably the original draft that remained.
She probably didn't send it to Mo Chenyuan.
"Xiao Jing, I caught a chill and have a bit of a headache. Let's see you tomorrow."
Xiao Jing, being simple-minded, immediately felt sorry for him.
"Let me take you to the hospital. Even a minor illness shouldn't be delayed. It's just work; don't overwork yourself."
"I just need to rest for a bit, don't worry about me."
Xiao Jing gave many instructions before reluctantly leaving.
Xiaoyu sat to one side and said, "Xiaoyue, this young master of the Xiao family really cares about you. Maybe you can get out of danger this time."
Jiang Yue wailed, "I'm definitely leaving this time. Xiaoyu, you go back first. I want to be alone."
After Xiaoyu left, Jiang Yue fell into deep thought. So, Mo Chenyuan saw that document and mistakenly assumed it was him…
Sending her ex-boyfriend's post to him is truly a dark history she'll never be able to recover from, no wonder Mo Chenyuan was so angry.
He must be extremely disgusted with himself by now.
Regardless of how well she wrote her script, having her directly contact the person was probably a way of subtly refusing him through a third party, hoping to discourage him.
From the moment Jiang Yue first saw Mo Chenyuan, she knew this day would come.
Jiang Yue suppressed her initial excitement, found Mo Chenyuan's chat window, typed and deleted some text, and sent it:
[Mo Chenyuan, I know you don't want to see me. I'll resign myself, and the penalty for breach of contract will be as stipulated in the contract.]
After sending the message, Jiang Yue stared at the line for a long time, so long that the screen automatically went dark.
Before the screen went dark, she saw a line of small text in the chat box:
The other party is typing...
Before Mo Chenyuan replied, every second felt like an eternity to Jiang Yue.
Before realizing she had sent the wrong message, Jiang Yue still held onto a sliver of hope. What a coincidence! Perhaps it was fate's arrangement for Mo Chenyuan to come to her side as a form of guidance.
If Mo Chenyuan still has feelings for her, at least her situation will be a little better.
However, Mo Chenyuan's disgust had long since frozen her delusions into ice shards. Every word he uttered was chilling, piercing her with pain. Now that she had found the reason, she felt relieved... Leaving before she had completely lost face was enough to preserve her final dignity.
She had lost everything; her self-respect was the only thing she could barely maintain in front of Mo Chenyuan.
Time flowed silently, each passing second like a dull knife, slowly torturing her already overburdened heart.
What would he say?
I can't wait to get out of here.
Or should I add some sarcastic remarks?
In that short time, Jiang Yue suddenly figured out what was going on between her and Mo Chenyuan. At that moment, Mo Chenyuan's reply came through.
【Um】
He was so cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion. Jiang Yue recalled that when they were "together," he seemed to be the same way; she was always the one making requests, and he remained silent.
Even when the demands were excessive, he remained silent.
He must have been fed up with himself from that time onward, enduring the excessive money she gave him.
"Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue, you still think that after being together for two years, Mo Chenyuan still has some lingering feelings for you? You're just being delusional."
Jiang Yue thought about it and then rejected herself.
The reason for their breakup wasn't Mo Chenyuan's coldness or the Jiang family's bankruptcy, but because Jiang Yue knew Mo Chenyuan had another woman. If he didn't like her, and if he chose someone else, why keep her hanging on?
The Jiang family's bankruptcy and her return for a marriage alliance were merely a catalyst.
She prepared to shut down her computer, planning to settle her compensation with the company tomorrow.
A message popped up.
I can't believe it's been two years and you still haven't improved. Are you really that insecure about your work abilities? Can't you live without thinking about all that nonsense?
The words still convey disdain.
She knew perfectly well what "mess" meant.
Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed, trying to explain that she had sent the wrong file and that she could show Mo Chenyuan her script and her "ability".
However, how could she explain the plot of the post featuring Mo Chenyuan as the protagonist? Fortunately, it was only a part, not the whole thing. If he knew that his name had already been circulating all over the internet, he would want to kill himself.
He then withdrew his explanation.
Tomorrow is your last chance. If you can't convince the partners, you're out.
This is Mo Chenyuan's third sentence.
It's different from his personality.
Although every word he uttered was sarcastic, he talked so much that it was as if he had a completely different soul.
Instead, Jiang Yue abandoned any thought of explaining and simply replied, "Hmm."
Yes, this is the workplace, and it has nothing to do with his and Mo Chenyuan's affairs. If she can't do a good job, she should naturally be let go, but she won't accept being told she's incompetent just by talking.
She's still okay!
……
When Xiaoyu arrived, she was almost scared to death by Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue's strength lies in her laziness and love of food, even when she is in adversity. She can easily gloss over even the biggest problems.
But who is this now?
Jiang Yue lay sprawled on the keyboard, her hair disheveled, drooling peacefully. If this were photographed, it would definitely be a major embarrassing moment for this beautiful woman. Once Jiang Yue becomes famous, she would surely spend a fortune to buy the photos.
"Little Yueyue!"
Xiaoyu was a little nervous. Besides the computer that was on, there were crumpled pieces of paper all over the floor. This scene was really not pleasant. It was like someone who had worked all night and was exhausted to death.
Jiang Yue looked up with a resentful expression.
"Little Fish, you're here! I've finished the plan, I'll print it out in a bit. What time is it now?"
She fell asleep after daybreak. People have pride, and even trees have bark; she's desperately trying to save face. There's nothing wrong with being lustful, but one cannot compromise on principles.
Even if Mo Chenyuan hates her, how can her cyber-related dark history not be considered Mo Chenyuan's? How could someone as concerned about his image as him say it in public?
With her shameless and invincible attitude, Jiang Yue planned to dominate the world.
Although the banquet is in the evening, preparations should begin in the afternoon.
"Little Yueyue, we didn't bring a dress with us, but that's no problem. I borrowed one for you, and we'll get your hair and makeup done now."
When Jiang Yue saw the dress Xiao Yue had borrowed, she was dumbfounded.
Indeed, she couldn't sleep last night, so she simply relived the fragments she had written. The first chapter was set in a hot spring, and the second in a banquet. The female lead was wearing a backless black dress, swaying gracefully. The jealous male lead dragged her to a corner, a bold act that was unheard of.
"Little Fish, can you not wear this?"
Jiang Yue was somewhat embarrassed.
"My dear, with your status, it's already kind of someone to lend you their clothes. You can't exactly wear a swimsuit to the event, can you?"
As Xiaoyu spoke, she pushed Jiang Yue to change her clothes: "Beautiful lady, you have a perfect figure. This dress is a bit tacky, but you have a pretty face, so you can pull it off."
Looking at the black dress with its exposed back, Jiang Yue could only console herself that Mo Chenyuan would probably find it disgusting and wouldn't bother to appreciate it closely.
He probably can't see this.
That way she'll be safe.
……
The hot spring resort was especially lively at night.
The investment promotion banquet tonight is the highlight of this year's annual meeting. In principle, only top internet celebrities, senior executives, and senior agents are allowed to attend.
As Jiang Yue entered the venue, she received a text message from Xiao Jing.
It turned out that Xiao Jing had caught a cold yesterday and was now in the hospital with a fever. Jiang Yue offered a few words of comfort and lamented that her support was gone, making today even more difficult.
But she gritted her teeth and still took some photos of the banquet's surroundings.
It wasn't until Mo Chenyuan appeared that Jiang Yue put away her phone, looking guilty.
Jiang Yue looked sexy tonight in a black backless dress, her skin dazzlingly white.
Mo Chenyuan frowned almost imperceptibly, his originally relaxed brows and eyes looking as if he had seen something dirty.
—Jiang Yue still hasn't shown any restraint.
—She still dares to come over and seduce him like this.
He didn't say that he had carefully observed Jiang Yue's "moves" and now believed he had seen through them. Did this woman have no shame? She wouldn't seduce him in front of everyone.
Before Mo Chenyuan could utter a cold snort, Jiang Yue quickly avoided his gaze and dodged his attack. She didn't care; she would pretend Mo Chenyuan knew nothing.
She pretended that Mo Chenyuan hadn't seen it.
The two stared at each other awkwardly for a while before Lin Mu arrived with the man from yesterday.
"Boss, Mr. Li is here." Lin Mu stood politely in front of everyone and said, "This is Ms. Jiang Yue, a company expert, and this is Mr. Li Jin, the brand representative."
Jiang Yue took a document directly from her bag.
The appearance of the document at a banquet was quite incongruous.
Jiang Yue, however, spoke frankly and earnestly: "Mr. Li, our boss values this collaboration very much. I brought it along so that the script would meet the client's expectations."
Not only Li Jin, but even Mo Chenyuan was surprised. Jiang Yue, with such an eye-catching outfit and a determined look in her eyes, wanted to join the Party and only cared about her work.
Li Jin was momentarily embarrassed, then laughed heartily, "I see Miss Jiang has three plans here!"
"Option one is a storyline-based soft-sell script I came up with based on the requirements. It features a female general in ancient style wearing red makeup, which matches the ancient style theme of the lipstick design. However, if you are concerned about the high cost, you can also choose the second version, which is a warm and emotional urban drama. Of course, there is another direction for cosmetics recently: comparative reviews. Based on the product parameters provided by the brand, I will analyze how to compare them vertically with top brands to easily ignite the market."
Jiang Yue spoke calmly and clearly.
With three tricks up your sleeve, you're sure to impress people.
"Mr. Mo, I have high hopes for the influencer you personally selected. Not only is she dedicated to her work and full of innovative ideas, but her wealthy heiress image also perfectly suits makeup promotion, so..."
Li Jin is about to finalize the cooperation.
Jiang Yue raised her eyes, giving Mo Chenyuan a confident look. She had finally turned the tables; aside from the matter of sexually harassing her boss, Mo Chenyuan couldn't find any fault with her.
Just then, my phone suddenly beeped.
Not only Jiang Yue, but others noticed it too. This is a notification sound that only appears when a certain Weibo account has a headline news item.
For people in their line of work, popularity is opportunity, and nobody is indifferent to it.
Jiang Yue turned on her phone, and everything went black.
[Jiang Yue, the fake socialite] is climbing the popularity charts at an alarming rate.
The entire room erupted in commotion, and all eyes naturally fell on Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue clicked on the notification, and her face instantly turned pale.
The video that provided solid evidence was released by her cousin, Lin Weiwei. The video showed her buying fake bags after going bankrupt to maintain her public image and act as a "fake socialite."
She initially had a good fan base, but a large number of fans unfollowed her and turned against her, even shouting insults.
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to Jiang Yue, who shouldn't have been at the banquet.
She became famous, in the most shameful way.
Jiang Yue never expected that after staying at the company all night to prove herself, she would be kicked out in this way.
She truly lost all face in front of Mo Chenyuan.
