Chapter 855: Truth Giving House

Amidst the commotion, there were angry netizens, fake reviewers who took advantage of the situation, and passers-by who purely hated the rich. They attacked Xia Wanyuan wave after wave.

The vegetables and fruits drinks under Xiafeng Corporation were originally popular because of their excellent quality and unique taste. Because of this matter, the entire Internet initiated an activity to boycott this drink.

[ The thought of every cent I spent buying drinks is gone to smashing knives at these pitiful people makes me feel ashamed. ]

[ Do you still remember how you stripped Xia Wanyuan of her family background? There were tens of millions of flowers in bottles at home. Every cent was sucked from the blood of the lower-class people. Doesn’t she feel ashamed? ]

[ Is it wrong for her to be rich? Just because she’s rich, you can convict her indiscriminately? ]

This matter was extremely popular. Many news media also appeared to write various articles.

“Someone uses a vase that costs ten million dollars but can’t bear to spend a few thousand dollars to give someone else a home.”

“In the capital era, how should entrepreneurs maintain their hearts?”

The matter gradually fermented. From the moment the news broke at ten o’clock in the morning until the stock market closed at half-past eleven at noon, the shares of the Xiafeng Group continued to fall, and their market value decreased by more than two billion dollars in just an hour and a half.

Xia Wanyuan had just left the classroom after lesson when she saw the message from Shen Qian.

Xia Wanyuan was not sensitive to the number of modern currencies, but looking at the number of more than two billion, Xia Wanyuan’s heart ached a little. These were all actual money.

Although Shen Qian was in Lin Xi, he quickly investigated the entire matter.

“CEO Xia, our factory over there is completely done according to the formal procedures. It was that family that did not accept the normal demolition price and demanded an increase of 7 million dollars. Of course, we did not have such a large budget, that’s why they went to the media.”

Xia Wanyuan directly got Shen Qian to send her a copy of the local project.

“I’m very sorry, CEO Xia. I couldn’t stop the news before it fermented and caused such a huge loss.” Shen Qian was deeply afraid of letting Xia Wanyuan down.

Xia Wanyuan didn’t have much of a reaction. After all, such an unexpected event wasn’t something that the manager could predict.

It was normal for businesses to have ups and downs.

“The loss is normal, as long as we can earn it back. Send someone to Dongshan to communicate with the local management. I’ll tell you after reading the blueprint.”

“Okay, CEO Xia.” Lin Xi’s project was ending. Shen Qian didn’t dare to leave for a moment, so he sent a trusted aide to Dongshan immediately.

It was already lunchtime. Xia Wanyuan wanted to go back and eat, but just as she walked to the school gate, Director Li Heng called.

It was currently a period of time to promote patriotic feelings. “Moon As Frost” was also a drama with a theme to respect the martyrs of the revolution. In the drama, the university where the male lead, Chu Pingjiang, taught at was the predecessor of Qing University.

Hence, the production team contacted the student union of Qing University and wanted to hold a publicity meeting at Qing University.

The theme meaning of “Moon As Frost” was already very good. In addition, the male lead, Yan Ci, and the female lead, Xia Wanyuan, were extremely popular with the students. The Qing University immediately agreed to cooperate with the production team.

Li Heng had called to inform Xia Wanyuan to stay for the publicity meeting after class that night. Xia Wanyuan naturally had no objections.

However, Jun Shiling had an opinion.

“You’re not eating dinner with me and are going to see that Yan Ci?”

“… What is with this main point that you caught? I’m going to attend an event, not to see Yan Ci.” Xia Wanyuan was helpless.

“Hmph.” Jun Shiling snorted softly. “Wait for me at school and I’ll pick you up for lunch.”

“I’ll just eat casually. There’s still class in the afternoon.” Xia Wanyuan looked at the time. Jun Shiling would take too long to rush over.

“Alright, you won’t accompany me for dinner or lunch.”

“… Come over, I’ll wait for you.” Xia Wanyuan quickly compromised.

Not long after, Xia Wanyuan waited for Jun Shiling. However, when she got into the car, it did not drive out of the school but drove straight into the school.

“???”

Seeing the confusion in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes, Jun Shiling smiled. “You’re too tired from eating out of school every day. I’ve created a place for you to rest in your school. In the future, if you have classes in the afternoon, sleep over there for an afternoon nap.”

“Don’t flaunt your wealth. I just went bankrupt.” Xia Wanyuan knew how difficult it was to buy a house in Qing University.

“Why did you go bankrupt?” Jun Shiling pinched Xia Wanyuan’s face. He had been in a meeting in the morning and had come to pick Xia Wanyuan up after the meeting. He did not care much about the news on the Internet.

Xia Wanyuan explained the matter briefly and didn’t dare to show Jun Shiling some of the comments on Weibo. She didn’t care about those words, but she knew that if Jun Shiling saw them, this matter wouldn’t be over.

“Show me the blueprint.” After hearing this, Jun Shiling took Xia Wanyuan’s phone.

After looking at it for a while, Jun Shiling returned the phone to Xia Wanyuan. “You already have an idea, right?”

“Yes, but the cost will increase.”

The piece of land that was demolished was not only used to build a factory, but it was also equipped with a road that ran through the entire region. The family’s address was coincidentally in the middle of the road. They had seen that the road would not take a detour, so they had to give them money. That was why they dared to make a scene.

After all, if they wanted to redo everything that had been planned, the cost was too high.

“Change it. I’ll lend you how much money you lack. It’s for half a year, at the market rate.” Jun Shiling looked rich.

However, in fact, he was indeed rich. After all, in his eyes, the high new costs were nothing.

“You’re flaunting your wealth in front of me. It’s blinding.” Xia Wanyuan pretended to close her eyes and was pressed down by Jun Shiling for a kiss.

“I’ll collect some interest first.” Jun Shiling’s eyes were smiling.

The car drove around in a circle and entered a small courtyard. Xia Wanyuan found it familiar. “This is beside Elder Zhong, right?”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling pulled Xia Wanyuan out of the car.

This lone building was quiet and not remote. Not far away was the school’s library. However, because there was a large tree at the door, few people came here. It was extremely quiet.

The small courtyard was filled with all sorts of flowers, and the house had already been renovated according to Xia Wanyuan’s preference.

At the dining table, the fragrance of the hot food and soup wafted over. Xia Wanyuan took a breath and immediately felt hungry.

The window opposite the dining table was wide open. A tall ginkgo tree hugged the small building, and golden leaves rustled down. The green bamboo was evergreen, and pots of blooming flowers danced with the wind.

Sitting in such an environment to eat, Xia Wanyuan felt that her appetite had improved.

Jun Shiling looked at her expression and knew that she liked this place.

Lin Jing, who had just left Qing University, was lamenting that he had been so busy that he had not even eaten lunch when he received a message from Jun Shiling.

“Double your bonus this month.”

Lin Jing adjusted his glasses. There was no need to eat lunch if I served my boss wholeheartedly. Why should I eat lunch? No, I won’t.
