Chapter 128 Farce
"No, Brother Zhang, I won't get up unless you promise me. Otherwise, I can't get up no matter what."
He started by setting a trap for me, taking advantage of the fact that so many people were surrounding me to pressure me.
I thought that by doing this, I would stop agreeing to anything he asked of me.
But he seems to have forgotten that I am not in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, she was ill and didn't care about his framing.
Before I could even speak, I heard him continue.
"Brother Zhang, I hope you can forgive me for any mistakes I made in the past."
"But could you please talk to President Song and ask her not to send me abroad? I want to stay in China and develop my career properly so I can continue to realize my dreams. Can you please tell her?"
He's becoming more and more adept at these tricks. Without realizing it, he's pushed me out again, making me the one who sows discord in front of Song Yafei and insists on sending her abroad.
Whether I agree or not, I'm taking the blame.
I was very impatient. "Get up right now!"
Jiang Yi, who was beside him, couldn't stand his behavior either. "What's wrong with you? Who told you to leave? Why are you going to find Zhang Tian?"
"Are you saying that Zhang Tian is just an ordinary office worker, and that President Song, a man of great stature, could make such an important decision as sending you abroad? Who would believe that!"
However, Senior Jiang underestimated the cunning of this kind of person; reasoning with him was useless.
All he did was to mislead everyone in the media and then criticize me online.
Even if I did nothing, I will still have to bear the consequences.
I had completely lost my patience and was unwilling to argue with him any longer. "If you want to kneel, then kneel. I'm not going to play along."
Yu Chengliang was so stubborn and pitiful that he burst into tears and clung to my leg, refusing to let go.
His pitiful state drew the attention of the reporters, who all stared at me with hatred in their eyes, seemingly convinced that I was responsible for Yu Chengliang's tragic fate.
They put the microphone back in front of me.
"Mr. Zhang, is there any personal grudge between you and Yu Chengliang?"
"Do you know that by sending Yu Chengliang abroad, President Song has essentially blacklisted him?"
block?
This has very serious consequences.
From their previous conversation, Song Yafei had no intention of doing this.
Could it be that Yu Chengliang did something again that led Song Xiefei to make this decision?
Did Song Yanfei do this to tie him up?
Or is there some other reason?
Just then, Professor Xie arrived with a large group of security guards and gave loud instructions.
"Get them out of here quickly."
After everyone greeted us, they swarmed over. After a bit of a commotion, Jiang Yi and I were ushered away from the crowd.
Some reporters wouldn't let me go. When I tried to ask them something, Jiang Yi stopped them.
"I'm sorry, we will not be giving any interviews today. If you want to know more about him, our studio will hold some press conferences in the future. You are all welcome to attend."
Professor Xie was waiting for us at the door; the reporters were all stopped outside by the security guards.
The professor looked at me with some concern and asked, "Are you alright?"
I shook my head.
Just then, I heard someone call my name from behind. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but it was a little blurry because of the distance.
Turning around, I unexpectedly saw Song Yafei in the crowd.
She stood at the back of the crowd, watching me from a distance.
The fact that she arrived here means she knows everything that happened today.
But she didn't tell me beforehand, which led to everything I've encountered today. If it weren't for the trust of Senior Jiang Yi and Professor Xie, I might have been framed by Yu Chengliang and caught up in this mess.
All of this could have been avoided if she had just said something beforehand, but she didn't.
I turned around and followed Jiang Yi and Professor Xie into the elevator.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief once they arrived at the studio.
My colleagues probably saw what happened downstairs, and when they saw me return to the studio, they all gave me strange looks.
Jiang Yi gave me a meaningful look.
At that moment, Professor Xie called me, "Come to my office."
The professor looked rather serious, unlike his usual smiling face when he was with me.
I couldn't help but feel nervous.
Will the commotion downstairs today affect the studio?
Are Professor Xie and Senior Jiang Yi angry because they were disturbed?
I was very nervous when I arrived at the office, and I felt extremely awkward standing in front of the new professor's desk.
However, the problem I had imagined did not materialize.
The professor felt a pang of sympathy. "What do you think about what happened just now?"
I looked up in surprise. "Aren't you angry with me for what happened just now?"
"Blame you? Why should I blame you? It's not your fault, so why blame you? Or is it that you actually did that kind of thing?"
I was unwilling to explain in front of others, but I did not hide anything from Professor Xie, who trusted me completely.
“I did not do that kind of thing, and their business has nothing to do with me.”
"That's it then. I know who I value."
Professor Xie's words warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but smile.
However, what just happened will still have some negative impact on the studio. I said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher, for causing you trouble."
Professor Xie waved his hand, "It's no big deal. Exaggerating is their usual tactic. Everyone knows that. This matter will be forgotten in a couple of days. There's no need to worry about it."
"There's just one thing I want to hear from you, and I want a definite answer."
Professor Xie suddenly became very serious, and I couldn't help but straighten up.
"You said..."
"What I want to ask is, will you choose to give up this time?"
"After all, I can see that you have a lot going on in your life. So, will you choose to give up again this time, just like you did a few years ago?"
It turns out that my past embarrassing experiences left a bad impression on Professor Xie.
He was worried that I would choose to give up again, but what he didn't know was that this time I would never choose to give up for anyone in my life again.
For the rest of my life, I only wish to live according to my own desires.
I told Professor Xie with absolute certainty, "No! Don't worry."
Professor Xie nodded in satisfaction.
"What others say doesn't matter to us. I just hope you can stay true to your original aspirations and persevere."
"We don't know how long this will drag on. You should go back and rest for a couple of days. Jiang Yi will take you home."
I'd like to add something, but actually I wasn't affected by it much.
I didn't want to rest like this, but Professor Xie stopped me.
"I know you don't want to stop, but better rest is for better results, so go and rest."
Since the professor had already said so, I didn't delay any longer. I went back to my workstation and packed up my things.
