Chapter 1525 - 1525 Deferred Cooperation
1525 Deferred Cooperation
Upon clicking on the video that Yang Xu had recorded, a shaky image would come into view. Then, a slightly drunk voice came from the video. “Dear Dad and Mom, look… I’m in the banquet hall. I’m gathering with my friends today. I promise… I’ll definitely be home before dark. I’m really not fooling around! Ah? Where is this? Where are my friends? Where’s Gu Yao? I think… I’m in the wrong place.”
After a while, a staff member came forward. “Sir, this is the event location of the International Fragrance Competition. The banquet hall you rented is beside it. The two venues are connected. Let me help you back.”
Yang Xu replied. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard a commotion not far away.
“Qingzhi did report you, but it’s because she believed Xu Ling’s words and was afraid that you would go astray. You’ve already proven your innocence. Qingzhi has already apologized to you in public, and she has also paid the price. No matter what, Qingzhi is your younger sister. Don’t announce her name online, alright?”!!
Yang Xu stopped in his tracks and muttered drunkenly, “What are they talking about?”
The rest of the conversation was recorded by Yang Xu.
“Xi Xi, what do you want? Are you going to ruin Qingzhi?”
“Kang Qingzhi schemed to frame me and even reported me. I’m the victim. Why should I suffer to protect the perpetrator?”
“Xi Xi! If Qingzhi’s reputation is damaged, the Kang family’s company will be affected. Are you going to watch our investment fail? The Kang family’s blood flows in your veins. How can you be so heartless?”
“You b*tch! I’ll tear your mouth off! Even if you don’t agree, you have to agree! If you dare to make things difficult for Qingzhi and ruin her reputation, I’ll make sure you die without a complete corpse!”
The Kang family was still endlessly criticizing and even cursing. In the end, Qiao Xi said indifferently, “Old Madam Kang is threatening my life. How can I resist? I can’t let the Kang family’s business be damaged, nor can I snatch Kang Qingzhi’s championship title. In the end, it’s all because I’m useless. I don’t have a powerful family like the Kang family behind me. If I had such a powerful family, how could I have been wronged and slandered?
“So I deserve to be wronged. I need to sacrifice myself to help others. It’s all my fault for being useless!”
The conversation in the video was very clear. Everyone who heard it understood what was going on. Yang Xu even commented on his WeChat Moments: [A noble family from Y Nation? An earl? Won two consecutive championships in the perfume competition? So this is what they’re like behind the scenes! I’ve really learned something!]
Not long after, someone posted this matter online. In order to avoid trouble, the other party did not upload the video directly. Instead, they described the contents of the video.
Most of the people who could appear on Yang Xu’s WeChat Moments were socialites and young masters from Li City. They were not all afraid of the Kang family’s power. Even Yang Xu did not know who posted this matter online. This news was quickly reported and deleted by Kang Qingzhi’s fans. Those fans even clamored for the person who posted the news to publicly apologize. Otherwise, they would not let them have an easy time.
However, the person who dared to release the news was naturally a proud and noble socialite or young master. When they heard the threat from Kang Qingzhi’s fans, they simply uploaded the video and made Kang Qingzhi’s fans shut up.
At this moment, the semi-finals had just ended. Before the officials of the International Fragrance Competition could clarify things, the matter had already spread like wildfire online.
According to the rules of the competition, the results would be released three days after the competition ended. Qiao Xi handed in the perfume she had concocted and was about to leave.
“Xi Xi!”
Kang Jichuan quickly walked in front of her with a frown. He sounded a little annoyed. “Xi Xi, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t post Qingzhi’s name online? Why are you doing this?!”
Qiao Xi instantly understood what was going on. She did not expect Yang Xu to move so quickly. The Kang family had already seen the video that was circulating online.
Kang Jichuan stared fixedly at Qiao Xi, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Xi Xi had the Kang family’s blood. She was also a part of the Kang family. Moreover, she had promised to let Qingzhi off, so why did she post such a video and cause the entire Kang family’s reputation to be damaged?
20 minutes ago, Kang Jichuan received a call from an investor. “Young Master Kang, let’s postpone the collaboration this time. We’ve encountered a problem here…”
Kang Jichuan did not think too much about it. He thought that there was something wrong with the other party’s funds. Anyway, there were so many people who wanted to collaborate with the Kang family, so there was no need for him to humbly ask an investor to stay. However, not long after, he received another similar call.
