Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Four: Explosive News (1/2)

YL’s announcement also gave NN a scare. It was already too late to retract their statement. Now that two hours had already passed since NN had made their announcement, it was no use crying over spilled milk. Even if NN deleted their announcement immediately, it wouldn’t stop the spread of the news.

Furthermore, deleting it from their official blog would in some sense confirm that there was a problem with the engagement.

There was no other choice. In the end, they decisively chose to bite the bullet and stubbornly ignore YL’s announcement.

However, they couldn’t persist with such stubbornness forever. Without any further response from Yan Jin, how long could they keep up their facade?

Since Yan Jin was a cold forbidding chairman who never accepted any interviews, very few people had his personal phone number. Even within the country, the media wasn’t able to get a hold of him. Now that he was out of the country, contacting him was an impossibility. Their energy would be better spent on fishing for information from YL’s employees.

When Yan Jin really didn’t want to be contacted, it wasn’t just the media that couldn’t find him. Even Nan Chan, his supposed fiancee, couldn’t contact him.

And this time, it was clear that Yan Jin really didn’t want to be contacted. To avoid any information leaking from anyone’s loose lips (like Shao Yue’s), he’d even blacklisted very close friends. It really was quite heartless.

But it was okay. Yan Jin’s close comrades had already grown accustomed to such treatment. It didn’t trouble them one bit. Rather than worry what Yan Jin was up to, they worried more about how his lover would react.

How would he react when he saw NN’s announcement?

……

Xiao Yu didn’t react at all.

He didn’t even go check out NN’s post.

Because he’d been involved in an extremely annoying matter at eighty thirty in the morning, he’d left his phone in the bathroom. He couldn’t hear the ringtone at all. Finally, when he checked his phone after eleven, he received a major shock from the hundreds of missed calls and found out about the news.

But what was the extremely annoying matter?

“Sorry, I still don’t understand. Could you repeat it again?”

Xiao Yu held the contract that had just been handed to him with a stone-cold face.

Right, rather than looking puzzled, he didn’t even seem to care.

It was in stark contrast with his questioning words.

“Simply put, after you sign those contracts, you’ll be FX’s top shareholder. I’ve heard from Chairman Yan that you like to design the exterior of electronics. You’d be able to make any of your imagined designs a reality with us,” the lawyer repeated his words again.

Xiao Yu felt like he was still dreaming.

He didn’t feel like pinching himself to make sure he wasn’t dreaming though. Why should he punish himself for others’ mistakes?

He only wanted to strangle Yan Jin right now.

About four or five days ago, Yan Jin had told him that he’d buy a tablet that Xiao Yu liked. Xiao Yu had been happy for so long.

But that promise had gone unfulfilled for so long. When Yan Jin left earlier without presenting the tablet to him, it had seemed like Yan Jin wanted to find an appropriate time to give him a pleasant surprise.

Xiao Yu, who had been looking forward to it so much, didn’t want to ask about it either. Otherwise, it would seem like he cared a lot about it. It wouldn’t do at all.

It was just a tablet after all…

He’d waited and waited until this point.

After sending Yan Jin to the airport this morning, Xiao Yu had felt sad about it for quite a while.

*Sigh*, he didn’t know how long Yan Jin would be gone. When would he finally be able to get his tablet?

Then, a lawyer had paid a visit with some random unknown object.

Xiao Yu was actually quite familiar with FX.

It was the company that made the tablet he wanted.

But what the heck was all this about becoming FX’s top shareholder?!

FX was the number one electronics brand in the world. They had countless electronic appliances under their brand. Their advertisements were common on domestic television channels.

It would be like someone saying, “As expected, XXX perfume is better,” even though the brand was mentioned, the emphasis was still on the perfume.

Shouldn’t purchasing a gift based on the comment above mean purchasing XXX perfume rather than the top shareholder position?

The difference between these two were too large. Would normal people interpret “the brand of tablet that he wanted” as the top shareholder position?

Oh, right, in light of everything that had happened, it was Xiao Yu’s mistake treating Yan Jin as a normal person.

Xiao Yu indifferently thought about it.

Chairmen really were no joke. It was about time that something like this happened again.

But an impartial observer might notice that if it wasn’t for Xiao Yu’s habit of rejecting Yan Jin’s gifts, Chairman Yan wouldn’t have been so heavy-handed.

It was a clear example of “things can only reverse at extremes.”

“There must be a mistake.” Xiao Yu laughed uncomfortably. “I’ll go get Yan Jin right now.”

If you don’t explain yourself, don’t think of entering the bedroom tonight!

Just when Xiao Yu was about to stand to go grab his phone in the bathroom, he belatedly realized something.

Yan Jin… was out on a business trip.

He’d personally sent Yan Jin there two hours ago. He’d probably already boarded the plane.

So… he essentially didn’t need to doubt whether it was a mistake anymore.

Powerless, Xiao Yu looked at the lawyer, who was doing his best to stifle a laugh.
