Even After My Death - Chapter 723: 621 Chen Heng Responds
Chapter 723: Chapter 621 Chen Heng Responds
When the crew announced the decision to end the recording early, the guests felt it was somewhat expected.
Lou Yingyan walked up to Jiang Ning and apologized to her with guilt.
Yesterday morning, he went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and collected quite a few herbs as well.
In the afternoon, he didn’t go; he was at home preparing herbs.
He stayed at a remote place this time, and by the time he found out the news, everyone was already up the mountain searching for the missing person.
Lou Yingyan felt that if he had gone up the mountain in the afternoon as well, perhaps he would have noticed Shi Xiaohua more, and she might not have gotten lost.
Because that morning, Shi Xiaohua was the one who led him to the mountain to pick mushrooms.
Lou Yingyan couldn’t sleep all night last night, worrying.
Jiang Ning looked at the dark circles under his eyes and said, “This matter has nothing to do with you; don’t take the blame.”
Lou Yingyan glanced at Qi Xingzhou standing beside her, nodded, and left.
This was also the last meeting between Lou Yingyan and Jiang Ning.
Once they arrived in the city by the crew’s car, everyone went their separate ways, and he flew back to Capital City, returning to his familiar work, fulfilling his duty to serve the people.
But that’s a story for later.
After the crew announced the early end of the recording, the guests went back to pack their things.
Qi Xingzhou followed close behind Jiang Ning like a little tail.
Jiang Ning had very little luggage, and she packed quickly.
When they were about to leave, the villagers got word of the news and hurriedly ran out to bid farewell.
Especially Aunt Tian’s family, upon learning that Jiang Ning was leaving, hurriedly gathered all the local specialties they could, filling an entire large bag full.
Aunt Tian’s son and daughter-in-law had rushed back overnight from another province, just arrived home, hadn’t even warmed their seats before hearing that their benefactor was leaving, and the young couple quickly wrapped all the cash they’d brought back in a piece of red cloth and chased after to give it to Jiang Ning.
Seeing their reddened eyes, Jiang Ning finally accepted the specialties and pushed the red cloth back.
The other guests sat in the car, watching this scene with emotion.
If it were earlier, they would certainly have been jealous, but now, this is what Jiang Ning deserves!
Soon, though, they too received gifts.
Many villagers brought out specialties from their homes, some gave to Jiang Ning, and others stuffed them to the other guests on the car…
This made the guests, who originally felt a sense of relief at finally being able to leave this small village, suddenly feel the sadness and melancholy of departure.
Just like when they arrived, they came by the crew’s car, and when they left, they took the crew’s car once more.
But unlike when they arrived, there was one person less in the car.
Jiang Ning was sitting in Yang Shu’s car.
The trunk and the passenger seat were filled with things given by the villagers, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou sat together in the back seat.
Yang Shu held the steering wheel, feeling amazingly novel.
She had brought out quite a few artists, she had chauffeured her own artists to work numerous times before, even for rural reality shows. But none had ever been like this one.
The gratitude and affection the villagers showed towards Jiang Ning were plainly visible.
Simply astonishing.
As a manager, she too felt a sense of pride.
After leaving Sanwan Village, phones gradually regained signal.
Jiang Ning turned on her phone and found numerous unread messages and missed calls, the most recent being from three minutes ago, from Chen Heng—the professional manager specially sought by Mr. Jiang before he passed away.
After Mr. Jiang’s passing, all of his assets and businesses were managed by Chen Heng and the management team.
Chen Heng generally wouldn’t contact Jiang Ning unless there was a major decision to be made.
Seeing Chen Heng’s name now, Jiang Ning knew he must have heard about the online events.
Jiang Ning tapped the screen to call back.
The call connected quickly, and Chen Heng’s slightly respectful voice came through, “President Jiang.”
Jiang Ning smiled, “Manager Chen, I know about the online matter, handle it as it should be handled.”
In other words, employing legal measures is also fine.
Chen Heng, having known Jiang Ning for many years, already knew Jiang Ning and the Jiang Family could be written as two separate “Ginger,” he agreed, then said, “I checked into it, Jiang Xiaoran’s account was pushed from behind by someone.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning immediately had a suspect in mind.
There are only a few people who have grudges with her; to say the one who hates her the most yet is most familiar with the entertainment industry means is still…
“Is it Huo Miao?” She asked with certainty.
“Yes.” Chen Heng said, “The evidence has been sent to your email.”
“Handle her as she should be handled too.” Jiang Ning suddenly remembered, “I also have some evidence that might be helpful.”
Jiang Ning never had any intent of entering the entertainment world; her previous negative exposure was entirely because Huo Miao repeatedly smeared her.
Before, Jiang Ning was not clear-headed, considering that shred of unfortunate family tie and refrained from retaliating.
Does Huo Miao think now she’s still the same as before?
Having the System as a free assist, it’s wise to use it, Jiang Ning had it send her all the dirty deeds Huo Miao had done before.
Considering how targeted Huo Miao was towards her, Jiang Ning speculates that when Huo Miao was mingling in the entertainment industry earlier, she must have used some underhanded tactics to achieve her desires.
Jiang Ning guessed right, after the System examined, it found that while Huo Miao hadn’t explicitly broken the law, her actions were nearly skirting the legal lines, and she’s quite the habitual offender!
And if the victims press charges, it could indeed become a case to pursue responsibility.
After Jiang Ning hung up the phone, Qi Xingzhou leaned over and asked softly, “Do you need help?”
“No, leave it to Manager Chen, he’ll definitely handle it well.” Jiang Ning smiled.
Upon hearing this, Qi Xingzhou didn’t insist further.
He secretly thought, if Manager Chen couldn’t handle it well, then it wouldn’t be too late for him to intervene.
But Chen Heng didn’t disappoint Jiang Ning and didn’t give Qi Xingzhou the opportunity to make a move either.
Twenty minutes after finishing the call with Jiang Ning, a Douyin account named Sheng’an Company suddenly posted a long video.
A minute later, a Douyin account named Ah Ning Fund reposted and commented on the video.
The official Sheng’an Company’s account had few followers, only a mere few hundred.
Ah Ning Fund’s Douyin account had more followers, over twenty thousand.
Once Chen Heng posted, he contacted a few senior authoritative official media to accept a phone interview.
The other party heard it was regarding the topic heatedly debated online, yet hadn’t gotten a response from Jiang Ning, and phoned immediately.
Ten minutes later, a fortunate number of official medias handpicked by Chen Heng scrambled to release their exclusive interviews.
The video material was exactly what Chen Heng posted, and per Chen Heng’s request, they noted the source of the material.
As several official accounts intervened simultaneously, netizens were astonished, and upon seeing the content of the posts from official accounts, they were even more shocked!
