I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 129: Chapter 129

Yuan Xi gave a faint smile and said, “Thank you, but there’s no need.”

Qian Yiren said, “Yuan Xi, you don’t need to be polite with me. After all, Shiyan and I grew up together from childhood, and we even lived under the same roof in college. If you need my help, just say it.”

Yuan Xi shook her head and replied, “There’s really no need. The dismissal of Wu Liang and Yan Lingling is in accordance with Mi Chen’s rules and regulations, and the online public relations department will respond.”

Qian Yiren said, “I saw Mi Chen’s statement, which said Wu Liang and Yan Lingling were dismissed for violating company policy and that Mi Chen had compensated them according to labor law.

But this statement is of no use to the current public opinion, and now many of ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ players are talking about quitting the game.”

Yuan Xi said, “There’s still time before the market opens on Monday. Mi Chen has sufficient evidence to smooth over the public opinion. Current negative news can be considered free publicity for ‘Fall in Love with the Stars.’ By tomorrow afternoon, Mi Chen will come out with evidence to clarify things. Before the market opens, public opinion won’t affect Mi Chen.”

Qian Yiren said, “Yuan Xi, you don’t need to put on a brave face…”

Yuan Xi gave Qian Yiren a faint smile and said, “I appreciate your concern, but I really don’t need your help.”

Yuan Xi helped Huo Shiyan back to the old Huo family mansion.

Yuan Xi, after removing her makeup and washing up, lay in bed and checked her phone for the online public opinion regarding Mi Chen.

The clarification issued by the public relations department quickly attracted angry comments from netizens.

Wu Liang even accepted an interview with a currently popular journalist, and the interview was published that same evening.

The interview took place in Wu Liang’s villa, where elements of ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ could be seen everywhere. Wu Liang’s interview and the journalist’s pointed questions further infuriated many players of the game.

Yuan Xi received a call from Gu Hanchen. She answered, “Hello, Mr. Gu, what’s the matter?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Why didn’t you let the public relations department release the evidence that Wu Liang and Yan Lingling were dismissed for stealing and appropriating an intern’s drawings?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Many companies deal with employees from the initial start-up phase who leave and keep bringing up their initial products. After all, Wu Liang and Yan Lingling are indeed the founders of ‘Fall in Love with the Stars,’ and they may keep mentioning it in the future. I don’t want ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ to be constantly brought up by them as a marketing tool.

Mi Chen’s first statement left them some dignity. If they don’t appreciate it, then Mi Chen will expose their misdeeds without mercy. The advertisement for ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ will have been aired, and Wu Liang and Yan Lingling’s reputations will be utterly destroyed. They will no longer be able to make an issue out of ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’!”

Gu Hanchen said from the other end of the phone, “You need to clarify quickly, don’t wait until it’s too late when the market opens on Monday.”

Yuan Xi said, “Yes, Fang Qin is already prepared, and the clarification will happen tomorrow!”

“Whose call was it?” Huo Shiyan, who had finished his shower, walked over to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi smelled the faint scent of his shower gel, now devoid of the unpleasant smell of alcohol, “Gu Hanchen’s.”

“President Huo, good evening!”

After hanging up Gu Hanchen’s call, Huo Shiyan wrapped his arms around Yuan Xi, “I never lived under the same roof with Qian Yiren.”

Yuan Xi hmm’d noncommittally.

Huo Shiyan’s brows furrowed slightly. “Why doesn’t it bother you?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Would it bother you that I have Gu Hanchen’s house password, or that I’ve stayed at his place before, or that we shared the same suite when traveling for business? Does it bother you?”

Huo Shiyan shook his head, “It doesn’t bother me, because I know you wouldn’t actually like Gu Hanchen.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, “So, I also trust you. Even if you did live under the same roof with her in college, it was probably just because you were both foreigners in a strange land, helping each other out. There wouldn’t have been anything more to it.”

Staring into Yuan Xi’s smiling eyes, Huo Shiyan leaned down to kiss her lips, “Tomorrow’s Sunday…”

Yuan Xi said, “But you’ve drunk alcohol. You’re not drunk, are you?”

Huo Shiyan shook his head, “Not drunk, don’t worry. It won’t hurt the baby.”

Yuan Xi wrapped her arms around Huo Shiyan’s neck, setting her phone to silent and placing it aside.

They had a good night’s sleep.

When Yuan Xi woke up, it was the piano sound of Xiao Shihuo that woke her.

Yuan Xi opened her eyes to find herself in Huo Shiyan’s arms. She moved a bit and took the phone beside her.

Liang Suisui messaged Yuan Xi in the middle of the night, asking her to check the Weibo hot search.

#The Tale of the True and Fake Heiress Becomes Reality#

#Adopted by Billionaire, Biological Father is a Trillionaire#

Yuan Xi guessed it was about Chu Yan when she saw the title, and her suspicions were confirmed when she clicked through.

Chu Yan’s last hot search was due to the identification of a pink diamond ring. Unlike then, which was full of mockery, netizens were now leaving envious comments.

“Sister, didn’t you have a missing sister before?”

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have mocked Bo Fan’s ‘Are you real?’ back then.”

“Kicked out by her adopted billionaire father and found her biological trillionaire father – how exhilarating is that!”

“The Fu An Group, is that the daughter of the Fu An Group that owns luxury malls all across the country and the world? The old servant enters with a flourish!”

Yuan Xi opened up a short video app, which was full of various marketing accounts playing with the meme.

The statement published by Chuneng Group across all online platforms, severing ties with Chu Yan, was met with continuous ridicule from netizens.

“HAHAHA, you said you’d be unrelated to Chu Yan, but look, your former heiress has gone from being Daughter of the Richest Man in Jiang City to Daughter of the Richest Man in A City!”

“The head of Chuneng Group must be regretting desperately!”

“I wonder if the person in power at Chuneng Group will cut ties with the true daughter now, huh? They raised the daughter of A City’s richest for twenty-six years, which could have brought them closer to the Fu An Group, but now, hahaha, they’ve completely offended the Fu Family.”

“Next stop on the little train, the account of the true heiress who was driven out by Chuneng Group @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi.”

Yuan Xi went back to her own account to see what was happening.

Many netizens who didn’t care about the gaming industry had come over because of Chu Yan’s controversy, only to start a new wave of mockery.

“The real heiress, you’re so foolish! You drove out the Fu Family’s missy and even fired a company veteran; I don’t play games but I know about ‘Fall in Love with the Stars.’ How can you be so foolish?”

Yuan Xi saw countless such comments.

Just when the public opinion reached its peak, Mi Chen Game’s layoffs were pushed back to the top of the hot search.

At this moment, Yuan Xi had Fang Qin publish evidence of Wu Liang and Yan Lingling seizing the intern’s artwork using the Mi Chen account, and the interns started spreading the evidence too.

Yuan Xi didn’t expect that Li Ni turned out to be a well-known blogger in the 2D world with a million followers.

Li Ni had made a video long ago, ready to release it to protect her own rights if Yuan Xi didn’t stand up for her.

Li Ni posted the video evidence of her work being taken over on her account and tagged Yuan Xi.

“Thanks to Chairman Yuan’s wisdom, Mi Chen is still a great company.”

Many Mi Chen employees also started speaking out…

Yuan Xi released footage of Wu Liang’s dismissal from the conference room’s surveillance @Wu Liang: I really didn’t want to blow this up out of respect for our shared struggles, but you seriously breached company policy and I can’t keep you just because you were one of Mi Chen’s first employees. I’ve done all I can do morally and ethically.

Wu Liang’s cursing revealed his malicious nature, letting many netizens and players see his true colors.

They started to sympathize with Yuan Xi and lashed out at Wu Liang and Yan Lingling.

Many netizens who originally came to Yuan Xi’s side for the commotion over Chu Yan, after learning about Wu Liang and Yan Lingling’s actions, forgot to mock Yuan Xi for expelling Chu Yan and moved on to the next stop to scold Wu Liang and Yan Lingling.

“A 21-year-old guy here, downloaded ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ to date five paper characters! All to support Mi Chen and Chairman Yuan.”

“Mi Chen Game has finally done something humane!”

“Chairman Yuan is wise! Shout out to Chairman Yuan! Chairman Yuan, your child will surely be born safe and sound!”

After having lunch, Yuan Xi saw a data screenshot sent by the new president of ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’; the game had surged to the top five in the game download charts on various phone brands.

…

When Chu Yan woke up at noon, she was eager to see the results of the hot search she had bought the night before.

But she found everything completely reversed from what she had expected; the reputation of Yuan Xi and Mi Chen Game shifted dramatically for the better.

Due to Wu Liang and Yan Lingling’s seizure of the intern’s work, they had alienated the most idle groups of the summer – college students and the anime community.

The hot search phrase bought by Chu Yan about the trillionaire was ignored, falling behind in the list, and all the criticism was aimed at Wu Liang and Yan Lingling…

Chu Yan frowned tightly, clenching her teeth in frustration. The money she spent to buy hot searches was equivalent to giving ‘Fall in Love with the Stars’ free advertising?
