Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 213 - 213 213 Explosive News

Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Explosive News Chapter 213: Chapter 213: Explosive News The reporter’s face turned genuinely pale with fear, and he glared resentfully at Meng Yirou. What kind of information had she dug up to trap him like this?

After Hen Lang finished speaking, he added, “Nowadays, the development of the entire world is interconnected. If there is so much estrangement, my journalist friend, as far as I know, you’ve also been a reporter in M Country. Because of this, can I say that you only care about your own interests and not the national interests?”

With that said, the reporter was left speechless, his face flush with embarrassment.

Once Hen Lang finished clarifying things for Jiang Zhe, she had already returned to her seat.

However, given the magnitude of tonight’s events, the reporters on the scene had initially thought it was merely a piece of campus news, not worth writing about.

Only now did they realize this was a news story with significant social value.

They immediately requested to conduct an exclusive interview with Jiang Zhe and start a dedicated column!

Yet, from the moment Jiang Zhe returned to her seat, for reasons unknown to them, they simply couldn’t get close to her anymore.

There were only a few rows of seats separating them, but it felt as if they were cut off by someone, completely out of reach.

They could only go to Director Han.

Director Han dared not make decisions about the situation concerning Jiang Zhe on his own.

He personally went over to Jiang Zhe’s row and found Qin Jingchen, “Mr. Qin, may I discuss Jiang Zhe’s matter with you?”

“Go ahead.” Qin Jingchen was always amiable to those who showed respect to Jiang Zhe, his voice gentle.

“This incident involving Jiang Zhe is of great social significance. If it could be reported, it would be beneficial for society. Some journalists would like to interview Jiang Zhe for some exclusives. I believe this would be a good thing for her as well.”

Qin Jingchen glanced at Jiang Zhe. She didn’t like crowded places, and even standing on stage for a short while earlier had made her impatient.

Seeing a hint of weariness on her face, Qin Jingchen made the decision for her, “She will not accept any interviews.”

Director Han: “…”

Regrettable, simply regrettable.

Qin Jingchen said, “If you really want to promote the story, have them find Hen Lang. And, I don’t like to see Jiang Zhe’s name appearing prominently.”

Otherwise, many people would crowd around Jiang Zhe for interviews, and with too many such things happening, she would become unhappy.

So, Qin Jingchen gave specific instructions.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it.” Director Han, having received Qin Jingchen’s approval, finally cheered up.

It was clear that Hen Lang had a good understanding of the matters concerning Jiang Zhe. Since Jiang Zhe was reluctant to be in the limelight, getting Hen Lang’s help with the promotion wasn’t out of the question.

He had managed to promote the school and had provided the journalists with an explanation.

Hen Lang hadn’t expected such good fortune. He had merely received some information last minute and spoke a few words on behalf of Jiang Zhe, and now the responsibility had fallen on him.

The reporters, upon hearing they couldn’t interview Jiang Zhe but could contact Hen Lang about the matter, swarmed around Hen Lang to discuss it.

The students began to leave.

Jiang Fanyue walked out with a poor mood, her mind occupied with failed expectations. Instead, Jiang Zhe had once again stolen the spotlight, leaving her silently stewing.

Zhang Xi followed her, not daring to say a word.

Meng Yirou and her journalist cousin went outside.

The journalist received a call from the chief editor in M Country.

“Where’s your explosive news? When are you sending it back?”

This time, the journalist took leave to return to his home country expressly to get his hands on Jiang Zhe’s explosive news. After Meng Yirou had informed him of the situation, he realized there were many angles he could exploit for a sensational story.

Plagiarism by Jiang Zhe, the authority of the award, the development of this technology in M Country—there were many issues involved.

These headlines would attract a lot of attention whether published in Dragon Emperor Country or M Country.

So, he hurried to board the plane, only sending a brief message to his editor on board, saying he would bring back a big scoop to make up for his absence.

Now, the editor’s urgent call had come, and his forehead was covered in sweat, “Editor, listen to me, there’s been a slight mishap, my piece might not be usable anymore…”

“Didn’t you say it was a significant incident, not only related to that last award but also to Wan Si’s company? What’s the problem with the article?”

“This, this actually doesn’t matter. I got it wrong,” the journalist had to apologize.

Now, not having secured an explosive story here and also having disrupted normal work over there.

The editor listened without a word and then hung up the phone forcefully.

“Cousin, is everything okay?” With a shadow cast over her heart, Meng Yirou felt like a heavy stone weighed down on her chest, yet she still turned to comfort her cousin.

After all, he had come back because of her.

“Of course there’s a problem! What have you done! What kind of information have you gathered! Did you properly look into it at all?”

“I’m sorry, I really didn’t know Guan Zhao knew Jiang Zhe. When I saw Wan Si and Jiang Zhe together last time, I didn’t think their private matters were like this.” Meng Yirou’s palm had been red with the severity of her own grip throughout the night, the skin nearly breaking under her nails, causing great pain.

But at that moment, she couldn’t feel it, only the dull pain in her chest.

Being publicly humiliated, the pain that spread deep in her heart was the hardest to bear.

Fortunately, her cousin was now in the firing line, shouldering the pressure that was originally meant for her.

The journalists would blame him when the time came.

However, her cousin’s credibility in the field of journalism was practically ruined.

“If you don’t know, then what do you know!” Her cousin was full of anger, but seeing Meng Yirou’s state, he could only swallow his own frustration and stormed off.

Meng Yirou felt a severe blockage in her throat, the pent-up breath making her extremely uncomfortable.

She cast another glance in Jiang Zhe’s direction, only to see him surrounded by a crowd, shining like a moon encircled by countless stars, his aura calm and detached as always.

Helplessly, Meng Yirou withdrew her gaze and turned to leave.

Jiang Zhe walked out with Qin Jingchen and others, and Guan Zhao hurried forward.

Qin Jingchen’s people didn’t stop him.

“Teacher Jiang,” Guan Zhao looked at Jiang Zhe with eager eyes.

“Speak,” Jiang Zhe’s tone was as calm as ever, his expression emotionless.

“I’d like to discuss my data with you in person. Please, I need some of your time!”

Jiang Zhe seemed disinclined to engage with him, but Guan Zhao was too earnest, so she took out her phone, “Fine, add me on WeChat, we’ll talk there later.”

“Great!” Guan Zhao took out his phone, ecstatic.

Once Guan Zhao had left, Fen Ye asked, “Sister-in-law, isn’t he your student? Doesn’t he have your contact information?”

“Who considers him a student? He adopted a teacher on his own accord.”

“Ah? But he is so adamant, and he seems quite protective of you.”
