Chapter 167: Chapter 167: A Grand Gift

Bian Yue did not get a good night’s sleep.

In the early morning at 3 AM, under the lead of Wen Jiao, anny ran to Shen Family Mansion to find Bian Yue.

Bian Yue saw the solemn expressions of the two standing in the hall, and couldn’t help but quicken her pace. She walked so fast that she almost tripped but fortunately, Shen Jinci, quick to react, caught her.

"Be careful," Shen Jinci whispered. "Just solve the issues that arise; don’t panic."

Bian Yue nodded, smiled at Shen Jinci softly, and said, "Don’t worry, I can handle it."

Just as Bian Yue came downstairs, Wen Jiao and anny approached her.

anny frowned, his expression anxious, "President Bian, something has happened. Our sample clips have been leaked."

Bian Yue was taken aback and looked at Wen Jiao beside her, "What happened?"

"I received the news tonight too. I’ve just had all the leaked videos removed from the platforms, but surely many videos have already been saved on private users’ phones."

Wen Jiao said gravely, "I’m in charge of Mintang Public Relations, and I’ll find a way to deal with these issues."

Bian Yue’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, decisively she said, "Let’s go to the company now, call for an emergency meeting, and oh, have Huang Xin come over."

Wen Jiao looked at anny puzzled, "Who is Huang Xin?"

"You’ve been out of the office for a while, so you might not know. Huang Xin is the business manager at Xinghe Video. Our sample clips were entrusted to him." anny’s expression was also serious as he spoke gravely: "He is the most likely suspect in this matter!"

Bian Yue was already walking out without even saying goodbye to Shen Jinci.

To Wen Jiao, there was a naturally arising awe towards Shen Jinci. She looked at Shen Jinci with an apologetic expression, "Mr. Shen, this incident has occurred suddenly, and we need to let Bian Yue go back to take charge of the situation. Sorry to disturb your rest."

"You all go on," Shen Jinci paused, seemingly about to head upstairs.

anny had already followed Bian Yue outside. Wen Jiao, looking at Shen Jinci’s cool and detached demeanor, stepped forward somewhat incomprehensively, "Mr. Shen, aren’t you planning to lend a hand to Bian Yue?"

"She can handle it herself. I trust her abilities."

Hearing Shen Jinci’s calm words, Wen Jiao felt inexplicably complex emotions.

Trust, such a rare emotion.

Between people, the hardest thing to build is trust...

At Mintang Media, late at night.

Bian Yue convened an emergency meeting as quickly as possible, instructing professional technicians to trace and locate the sample clips, striving to delete them as thoroughly as possible. Also, she instructed the public relations department to suppress the trending search about the leak of "Shengshi Yan" sample clips.

The meeting did not last more than 10 minutes, and everyone immediately got busy.

Wen Jiao’s face was serious, and after taking over the phone, he looked at Bian Yue, "Huang Xin has arrived."

"Good, let’s go now".

Huang Xin didn’t expect the sample clips to be leaked, and Zhuang Jie Ning being so bold was beyond his expectation.

However, he could not betray Zhuang Jie Ning to Bian Yue, considering Zhuang Jie Ning is Chairman Lu’s cousin. Offending her would mean losing his job tomorrow, and possibly facing legal risks.

So today, what he had to do was to adamantly deny any involvement in this matter.

With this thought in mind, Huang Xin had already made his decision.

When Bian Yue entered the lounge, she saw Huang Xin leisurely drinking tea. Seeing Bian Yue come in, Huang Xin snorted coldly and threw the tea cup in his hand away.

"President Bian even has the face to meet me?" Huang Xin scoffed slowly, "President Bian, are you joking with the cooperation between Honey and Xinghe? You hand over the sample clips to us and then let the resources flood online, this has seriously damaged Xinghe’s interests!"

Bian Yue and Wen Jiao exchanged a glance, both understanding Huang Xin’s words.

Wen Jiao sat down first and spoke, "Huang Xin, taking someone’s money to do their work is one thing, but I advise you to be careful not to stake your own life while doing so."

Huang Xin’s face turned livid, furiously looking at Wen Jiao, gritting his teeth, "Director Wen, speak with some respect, it’s your Mintang’s work that’s flawed! How can you have the nerve to accuse me here?"

"Mr. Huang, are you implying that the leak of the sample clip video is due to an internal issue at Mintang?" Bian Yue spoke with a calm and light tone, looking at Huang Xin, "Where’s your evidence?"

"Hmph, what evidence do I need! It’s because of Mintang’s poor supervision!" Huang Xin said indignantly: "I demand compensation! I demand to terminate cooperation!"

"You might not have that much authority to terminate our partnership," Bian Yue remained calm, in the face of Huang Xin’s clamor, "To terminate the cooperation, it should be your chairman who discusses this with me. Oh, and concerning the leakage of this video, I will also propose a compensation claim against you personally."

Shock stood on Huang Xin’s face as he looked at Bian Yue, "What grounds do you have to ask me for compensation! This has nothing to do with me! I came here today out of goodwill, not wanting to involve Mintang in a lawsuit, and to settle it privately! How come? Now you want to drive me to a dead end?"

"I have the tracking IP of the account that released the sample clip. Following the IP, we can naturally find out who’s connected to this incident," Bian Yue looked up at Huang Xin, speaking calmly: "At the same time, I’ve also found something else. Zhuang Jie Ning is the cousin of Xinghe’s Chairman Lu Zhonian."

Huang Xin maintained his composure when Bian Yue said the first part, but was visibly unable to hide his shock upon hearing the latter half, looking at Bian Yue.

"You..."

"Mr. Huang, you don’t need to be so surprised. After all, there are no walls that don’t leak, especially such distant relations?" Bian Yue spoke faintly: "Do I need to continue investigating?"

Huang Xin’s expression was solemn. He stared at Bian Yue without saying a word and then suddenly, scoffed, "President Bian, we are just the ones working below. You mentioned a distant relation, how would I know about that? I think President Bian is just grasping at straws because you’re in a bind? It’s too late now, I’ll leave first."

After saying this, Huang Xin immediately stood up and strode away.

Wen Jiao listened to the negotiation between Bian Yue and Huang Xin and finally shook his head slowly, saying, "If it were me, I would have already sent him to the police station by now."

"Do you also think this has something to do with Zhuang Jie Ning?"

"Isn’t it obvious?" Wen Jiao sneered, "You mentioned Zhuang Jie Ning, back in high school, she was pretty normal. How come she’s become more reckless now? What good does it do her to be against you? Why does she insist on clinging to you like a mad dog?"

Bian Yue poured Wen Jiao a cup of tea, "Don’t be angry, these are just our subjective speculations, and just now, Huang Xin didn’t admit to anything."

Wen Jiao downed the tea in one gulp, "Have you decided what to do?"

"Yes."

Wen Jiao looked at Bian Yue curiously, "Go on, explain."

Bian Yue set down the teapot in her hand, her tone composed: "I want to send Zhuang Jie Ning a big gift."
