The episode of her scandalous news finally came to an end, and she soon received the amount of compensation in various transactions. Five million dollars was borne by Changjiang Press Media, while the remaining amount was borne by the rest of the media press companies. Several smaller companies closed down because of their incapability of paying their portion.

Lanxin Investment Corporation had been successfully set up, and its businesses activities were getting into the right track. As Ouyang Feng had good investment strategies, Wen Xinya entrusted most of her capital a.s.sets to him for investment purposes. Though he had lost three years of his life in prison, this experience had also helped to change him into a less reckless person. He was more mature and a.n.a.lytical in his thinking. These were essential traits that an investor should possess.

Wen Xinya guessed that one of the reasons Ouyang Feng was able to succeed in her previous life was also because of this.

Right at the same time, Ouyang Feng’s case had been successfully submitted to the Supreme Court for appeal and was approved! Wen Xinya was introduced to a few managers of some press companies through Ling Qingxuan — she had accidentally revealed to them that the defendant attorney of Ouyang Feng’s case would be Cheng Ziyi. Overnight, this became a focus of attention and hot news that every press media company hurried to publish.

The media had always been responsible. These media companies had published numerous articles about how Ouyang Feng’s partners made use of his company for money laundering activities in 2008. They also published every information about Ouyang Feng, including his academic success and qualifications. Everyone soon knew about his background.

Everybody was saying how impressed they were — an ordinary student from the lower-cla.s.s society who worked hard and was enroled into the Imperial College London by invitation, completing his doctorate in finance faculty in three years. He truly deserved the t.i.tle of “Financial Genius.”

The public also became aware of Ouyang Feng’s new company — Lanxin Investment Corporation. A few large corporations and low profiled wealthy men also took notice of this new big-scale investment company.

In recent years, the economy in Country M had greatly benefited from the finance and investment industry. Many large corporations and some of the low profiled wealthiest men in the country started to become involved in multiple investment projects in the country. A graduate from the Imperial College London like Ouyang Feng definitely caught their attention!

All of these events were part of Wen Xinya’s plan. She had wanted to make use of the court case of Ouyang Feng’s appeal to create a buzz in the media. However, she did not expect the involvement of Cheng Ziyi — a golden bachelor in the lawyer industry — to build even more hype to the news.

Though these corporations and a few of the riches were just in a “wait and see” mindset, she believed that once Ouyang Feng successfully appealed for his case, there would soon be many incoming investments to test the capabilities of their investment company. It was only a matter of time for them to grow and expand.

Qiu Yifan and Ouyang Feng soon realized Wen Xinya’s intention and both exclaimed at her wild ambition. Was she really just a 15-year-old teenage girl?

“Quite a few press companies are wanting to do an interview with me.” Ouyang Feng looked at the young lady in front of him with complex emotions. From the first time he met her, he knew she was not an ordinary person and could not be judged by just her age. Indeed… she was extremely capable of guiding others into her manipulations. She was able to lead the flow of matters toward the direction of her plan. This was true in her recent scandalous incident and also how she managed to make use of the media to publicize Ouyang Feng’s case.

“Reject any requests for an interview. Your case will soon be trialed in court, this is not a good time for you to accept interviews. Though our company has just produced some results, we’re not at the stage where we can show ma.s.sive achievements yet. The purpose of creating hype is just to attract the public’s attention. Your academic qualifications are to be praised indeed, but you have not created any accomplishments worthy for the media to create a buzz. You don’t have to worry about whatever the media says about you. Just focus and do your part for now.”
