Chapter 218: Episode 218 Reap the Fisherman’s Benefit, That’s Fine 3

Ye Wenxin and Yuan Weicheng successfully obtained their divorce certificate, and the account group Yuan Weicheng belonged to was directly transferred to Zhou Xueyin’s name, including all of its business. These were Ye Wenxin’s gifts of thanks to Zhang Jingwan for helping her out of a big trouble.

Zhou Xueyin felt she did not deserve to take over the group, so she directly made Zhang Jingwan the vice general manager of the account company.

As a result, both Airan Advertising Media and Xueshan Jiying Advertising Media were under Zhou Xueyin, with Zhang Jingwan in charge of Airan, and Zhou Xueyin, Li Jinang, Kang Siyin, and Yao Shanshan responsible for Xueshan Jiying.

However, things were not as simple as they seemed...

When Ye Wenxin went to the restaurant to catch the adulterers in the act, some busybody recorded a video and posted it online. After a few days of fermentation, public opinion was pointing fingers, labeling Zhang Jingwan as the mistress...

Despite countless clarifying posts on Weibo, people only saw what they wanted to see: a rich girl catching cheaters in a high-end restaurant, the mistress and the despicable man go die.

"Wanwan, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know things would turn out like this," Ye Wenxin said, feeling incredibly guilty as she looked at the flying unfounded accusations.

After all, this was a situation she had orchestrated...

Ye Wenxin had wanted to divorce Yuan Weicheng for a long time because she had taken a liking to one of his young subordinates, who was also the person in business contact with Zhang Jingwan.

But Ye Wenxin was also a wealthy woman, and if she was caught cheating, she feared more than half of her assets would diminish. So, it was necessary to make him cheat first to become the victim.

Thus, she and the young man approached Zhang Jingwan to see if she could help, offering the account company as remuneration.

Zhang Jingwan never considered herself a good person, and with such an attractive offer, she figured it was worth a little damage to her reputation or a few years bearing the title of mistress, so she readily agreed.

But Ye Wenxin also warned Zhang Jingwan to proceed with caution and not to get herself into real trouble, as that would be a loss too great to justify.

However, it turned out Yuan Weicheng wasn’t that easy to trap.

This was the type of person who talked big online but chickened out in person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have failed to book a room the first time and then done nothing for the next half a year.

Even the chats on social networking software could be considered evidence of infidelity. Zhang Jingwan saved all the records of their daily flirtatious chats and sent them to Ye Wenxin.

Rather than getting angry, Ye Wenxin found it more amusing to see a man of his age trying to talk dirty, making one cringe at the awkwardness.

Yuan Weicheng had never said such things to her, and she even doubted that his decision to marry her was driven more by her wealth than anything else.

When playing video games as a leveling agent, she had also questioned his sexual orientation because he preferred muscly male characters over voluptuous female ones.

Looking back, it was probably to compensate for not being muscular in real life and, of course, to flirt with girls in the game.

Every time Zhang Jingwan went out to dinner with Yuan Weicheng, she reported back to Ye Wenxin, who also followed them secretly each time. Yet neither of them did anything too excessive, and the attempts always fell flat.

What they didn’t know was that each time Yuan Weicheng asked Zhang Jingwan out, he had prepared a room well in advance. But because Zhang Jingwan was not proactive enough, his plans never came to fruition.

This time it was Zhang Jingwan who decided to take the initiative and lead Yuan Weicheng into making a mistake.

I never expected they would really fall for it...

"Wanwan, about this matter... you should have told us from now on! Don’t just shoulder everything by yourself!" Zhou Xueyin looked at the criticisms of Zhang Jingwan all over the internet and listened to her story, feeling both grateful and heartbroken.

"Hey, it’s fine, let them scold if they want to, once this period is over, they will quiet down." Zhang Jingwan said indifferently, "Plus, aren’t there people speaking up for me? It’s okay, it’s okay! Besides, Sister Ye even compensated me with a company! Do I still care about this?"

"You, you! Is money more important than reputation?" Zhou Xueyin smiled helplessly.

"Of course, for someone like me, reputation can’t be eaten as food. Money is definitely the most important! As long as it doesn’t affect my orders, everything is negotiable! I believe those netizens are not smart enough to dig out which accounts our group has!" Zhang Jingwan said confidently.

"Ordinary netizens might not, but we have to be wary of other companies with ulterior motives... After all, they have business dealings with us, some may want to take advantage of the chaos to buy your accounts at a low price, only to find out the company was gifted to you. They will certainly investigate!" Zhou Xueyin said, a bit worried.

Because after this incident, people from other account groups would often strike up casual conversations with her, asking how much she spent to acquire these accounts. However, she always managed to evade their questions with laughter and vague answers.

"Should I keep a lower profile then? Are you still officially the account manager? Should I step back for a while? Until this blows over?" Zhang Jingwan realized the situation was indeed more complicated than imagined.

But she really couldn’t harm Ye Wenxin. If she came out now to clarify that Zhang Jingwan wasn’t the other woman, then their previous efforts would have been in vain.

Fortunately, the memories of the netizens browsing Weibo only lasted for 14 days...

As time passed, the incident was gradually forgotten, and since she was not a celebrity, people quickly lost interest in the life of someone unrelated to them.

Zhang Jingwan’s life and work returned to normal...

The development of Weibo was getting better and better, and with Zhou Xueyin managing two companies, the monthly income was quickly approaching the annual income from the forum days.

Although everyone worked hard, the substantial performance bonuses each month made everyone happy to work.

"Yinyin, Schroeder Crystal Wedding Dress’s new season exhibition is now calling for bids. Should we get involved?" Li Jiniant asked excitedly one day, eager to share the news with Zhou Xueyin.

"Yeah, of course! It’s a global brand! If we win it, we could meet next year’s target!" Zhou Xueyin said, thrilled.

"So... shall we?" Li Jiniant’s eyes sparkled.

"Let me think about it, after all, our accounts specialize in fashion, we have more of an advantage than others. It’s just that our event planning needs to be creative..." Actually, Zhou Xueyin already had an idea, but felt a bit self-serving about it, so she hesitated to speak up.

"Come on, Yinyin, no need to hide it; what’s the point?" Li Jiniant saw right through her, "We just organize a group wedding, and display Schroeder’s products at the wedding, right?"

"That... uh... that wouldn’t work..." Zhou Xueyin tried to make excuses.

"How would that not work! You, and Shanshan, you two have been looking at wedding dresses for so long! You think I haven’t noticed? With their sponsorship, having an awesome wedding, isn’t that great? It’s such a good idea!" Li Jiniant suggested with raised eyebrows.

"Never mind me, you had Shanbao design your wedding dress too! You think I don’t know? Alright, alright, planning a group wedding it is, but it depends on their agreement!" Zhou Xueyin said, holding back her smile of joy.
