"This... I can't accept this gift. "
Ning Caier retreated back due to his actions. Everyone knew what the bride's flattering meant, but she didn't like An Ziheng. It didn't matter how pious he was.
Ning Caier looked around, hoping that someone would come to save her. In the chaos, she accidentally dropped her bag, the perfume and cosmetics inside were scattered all over the floor, Xiao Ru immediately rushed over to help her pick them up, Ning Caier had only changed her appearance and these were still the famous brand of cosmetics.
Seeing that her own words had finally been proven, Xiao Ru immediately showed those cosmetics brands to the surrounding students. It was not that Ning Caier lacked money, but she kept a low profile.
Money could change a person's way of thinking too much, so everyone looked at An Ziheng as overestimating their own abilities. With that little bit of salary, he couldn't even afford to buy a purse from Ning Caier, yet he dared to pursue him with such fanfare.
"This flower looks pretty good, Cai'er, don't give it to me."
Xiao Ru returned the bag to Ning Caier, and helped her get out of it at the same time. She brought the floral bulb in An Ziheng's hands over, and distributed the flowers one by one to the female students present. She knew that Ning Caier had a great backer behind him, it was definitely not wrong to rope her in.
"That's right, this flower is pretty beautiful. Let's continue dancing."
Everyone turned the volume of the music higher, and the noise was deafening, only by sticking close to their ears would they be able to hear the other party speak. Ning Caier was afraid that An Ziheng would do something out of line, so she kept holding Xiao Ru's hand and talking in a corner of the banquet hall.
An Ziheng did not come over, but his mood was obviously extremely downcast as he held a bottle of red wine and continuously gulped it down. Today's class reunion had cost him half a year's worth of income, so he could not just end it this way.
"Xiao Ru, I want to go. I'll treat you dinner another day." Seeing An Ziheng like this, Ning Caier did not want to stay any longer, but Xiao Ru still stopped her. The benefits that An Ziheng had promised her had not been fulfilled, so she could not let him leave just like that.
"Cai'er, even if you don't accept An Ziheng, you have to at least give everyone some face. If you just arrived, everyone will feel very awkward."
Xiao Ru tried her best to persuade her, as she fixed her eyes on the cosmetics in Ning Caier's bag. These tags were different from the ones she had seen last time.
Ning Caier did not know Xiao Ru's real goal. In addition to the fact that there were some classmates who kept coming over to chat and drink with her, she was too embarrassed to leave just like that. She had no choice but to stay behind for a while, but she had greatly underestimated the destructive power of An Ziheng.
After drinking the bottle of red wine, An Ziheng suddenly smashed the bottle onto the ground, causing the music to immediately stop, everyone looked at An Ziheng in shock. He had obviously drunk a lot, and was even swaying while walking, the few male students beside him were afraid that something might happen and immediately hugged him, pulling him towards the direction of the chair.
It was just a loss of love, it was not like he had never experienced it before. There was no need for him to waste himself like this.
"I'm not drunk. I just want to ask if you understand the relationship between you and your boss, Ning Caier!"
An Ziheng rushed towards Ning Caier in an overbearing manner. He kept pointing at her face, his eyes completely red from the alcohol.
"Such a precious item, I'm afraid a designer like you can't afford it. Why are you still holding the title of designer back? Why don't you learn how to please men and get them to buy you a car!"
The smell of alcohol in An Ziheng's mouth filled with, he was blabbering nonsense, no one could stop him now, and he continued to talk about Ning Caier's past, how he coveted married men, and how he used their special relationship to rise up in power.
Everyone had a look of realization in their eyes, but there was also a hint of mockery at the corner of their lips, as if they were saying that they knew it all along.
"Enough! There's nothing going on between my boss and me! "
Ning Caier stood up from the chair she was sitting on and shouted at An Ziheng. However, she knew that the surrounding people believed in An Ziheng more than they believed in her, since her luck had risen up really quickly recently and she also had other things that didn't match her income. In this situation, no one was willing to believe in her innocence.
Ning Caier walked out of the venue unhappily, she did not care about the people chasing her, she could not even take a taxi on the pitch black road, she shook off the high heels s on her feet and ran along the road.
Ning Caier rushed to the plan day and night, continuously charging herself for today's position. However, in everyone's eyes, she was just a vain, third party. It was like a label of humiliation, they couldn't wash away no matter how hard they tried.
"Cai'er, what happened to you?"
At this time, Ouyang Jue's Cadillac slowly came to a stop beside Ning Caier. Originally, Ouyang Jue was afraid that if she drank too much, others would take advantage of her, so he personally drove over to pick her up.
"Whether or not that An Ziheng brat bullied you, you don't have to bother with him. That guy has no ability himself, and can only say that women are not good, and are not good at all."
When Ouyang Jue saw that Ning Caier had been squatting there without saying a word, he could only carry her to the front seat. This reunion fellow shouldn't have brought her here, and any grievances that Ning Caier had suffered, he felt that he had overthought things.
"It was my negligence. The next time you encounter such an occasion, I will definitely give you two bodyguards."
Ouyang Jue buckled up her seat, and skillfully headed towards Ning Caier's home. He had already went there a few times, and it wouldn't matter if he didn't use the navigation tool.
It was a pity that they did not follow the right path, and one of them was a reporter from the Eight Trigrams Magazine. When he heard An Ziheng's accusation just now, he knew that this matter could be reported on, and now that the photo had been taken, it was even more so like a mountain of ironclad evidence.
Looking at his camera, he felt that he was really lucky today to be able to find such explosive news. He would definitely be promoted in the future.
So he called the editor of the magazine: "Keep the front page for me. Message confirmed."
Ning Caier's classmate moved extremely quickly. He went through the photos she had taken and specially selected points that could easily cause misunderstandings to appear in the magazine. After he finished handling them, Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier started to cuddle in the picture, their relationship was not ordinary.
Adding on An Ziheng's conflict in the banquet hall, this matter immediately turned into a version of a TV show that was made out of dog blood.
From the perspective of a witness, this journalist had depicted An Ziheng as a lover. He proposed to Ning Caier at the banquet and was rejected on the spot, the reason being that An Ziheng couldn't satisfy her material needs. She would rather be his boss's mistress than be the real wife of his poor boyfriend.
The CEO Tian Ao and his subordinates actually had an affair, which shocked the entire business world. Initially, it was normal for there to be some people in Ouyang Jue's position, but since this Ning Caier was the designer that he supported, it would cause countless people to guess.
Some people even spread the news on the forums that Ning Caier's design was fake, and that she was actually done by someone else. She had merely signed a name on the back, and did not have the ability to design anything at all.
All of them were complaining that under the cover of this industry, those with strength were unable to rise above them. On the contrary, people like Ning Caier, who relied on their beauty to rise above the masses, were able to obtain recognition from them. All of the discontent in their hearts was vented onto Ning Caier, and in an instant, she had become a despicable woman that was despised by tens of thousands.
Ning Caier did not know that there were arguments going on on on the internet. On the morning of the second day, she came to work as usual, but before she could even enter the company, she was blocked by a group of reporters at the entrance.
"Miss Ning, may I ask if you rejected my boyfriend's proposal because he isn't as rich as Ouyang Jue? Is Ouyang Jue trying to make you a designer a condition for the exchange between the two of you? "
Seeing that Ning Caier had finally appeared, the reporter immediately started to bombard him indiscriminately. Ning Caier did not understand their questions though, since when did she have a boyfriend? When did she negotiate with Ouyang Jue?
Ning Caier was confused, but the buzzing around her never stopped. Only when a female reporter shouted out loudly did she realize what had happened.
"This is the first time you have been a mistress for someone else, have you not thought of finding a boyfriend that suits you? Does Ouyang Jue's fiancee know about this?"
"I didn't!" Ning Caier tried her best to defend herself. She didn't know how An Ziheng made such a big fuss, but she actually made so many media outlets gather at the bottom of the TiaoAo Group to interview him.
But Ning Caier's voice was extremely weak amidst the noise, weak to the point that no one wanted to hear what she was saying. They had already determined that she would marry someone else, and all they wanted to do now was to gather more materials to carry out the report.
"Everyone, don't disturb the company's order!"
When the few security guards saw that it was Ning Caier, they quickly rushed out from the entrance of the company to help her out. With seven to eight strong security guards protecting her in the center, Ning Caier finally had the space to move towards the entrance of the company.
Ning Caier turned around and looked at the people that were blocked outside the glass door. She felt that they were like a group of wild beasts that were searching for food, and very soon, they would break through the glass door and tear her into shreds.
"Miss Ning, please head directly to the CEO's office. Do not ask anything."
The security guards immediately escorted Ning Caier to the entrance of the CEO's office. On the way, they met a few colleagues from the company, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet Ning Caier's eyes. They were afraid of incurring any trouble with Ning Caier, as the reporters had been standing guard for a few hours already, and practically every single person who entered the building had been pestered by them before.
"What's going on outside? Why …"
As usual, Ning Caier pushed open the door to Ouyang Jue's office, but there were already many people sitting there today. There were the managers from the PR Department, HR Department, Internet Monitoring Department, a few people in police uniform and a few bosses from the newspaper industry.
"First, send a letter from a lawyer to pressure these magazines to slander the reputation of others, and also to see if the forums that forwarded it could be deleted, preferably by finding the person who posted it and asking him to apologize himself, and to keep an eye on the employees within the company, and if anyone was involved, the HR Department would ask for a warning. As for the reporters outside, they have seriously affected the office order in TianAo, so we have to trouble the security department to evacuate them. "
