Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 824

Chapter 824: Chapter 824: Suppression? True Nature?

Lin Zhiyi finished watching Qiu Yang’s apology video while sitting in Gong Chen’s car.

In the video, her eyes were slightly red, and her words were sincere.

Anyone watching would think she was genuinely regretful.

But Lin Zhiyi still felt something was off.

Gong Chen glanced at it and said lightly, "She’s elevating you, making you have to forgive her. Of course, you can choose not to forgive, but then she’ll have a second, even more dramatic apology video, until you forgive her."

"Moral blackmail?" Lin Zhiyi understood.

"Yes. She’s never made a mistake before, and she’s worked very hard. Rarely does she make a mistake, so her fans will definitely defend her. You have no choice but to forgive her."

"So I have no choice but to forgive her?"

Lin Zhiyi felt inexplicably angry.

"I’ve told you crisis is also an opportunity. Don’t forget Qiu Yang has millions of fans."

"Fans..." Lin Zhiyi thought, then suddenly smiled, "I understand now."

"Alright, I’ll head to the company first. Contact me if you need anything," Gong Chen said.

"Okay."

Lin Zhiyi looked around, then got out of the car and left.

When she arrived at the studio, she immediately called her assistant to help with filming a video.

The assistant adjusted the phone angle and questioned, "Miss Lin, are you really responding to that paparazzi? Isn’t that too degrading?"

"Who said it was paparazzi? They’re all potential customers."

Lin Zhiyi applied lipstick in front of the mirror, determined to appear perfect on camera.

A shop attendant behind her put on the latest product with gloves.

The Spiral Flower Necklace.

One thousand three hundred diamonds, set on a spiral-designed necklace.

Clean and neat, yet lively.

The assistant stared blankly for a few seconds.

"It’s beautiful, but why wear it now? Isn’t it our new product?"

"With over four million fans, even if a thousand of them are customers, we’ve made a profit," Lin Zhiyi calculated.

The assistant laughed, "Miss Lin, according to my research, most of Qiu Yang’s fanbase are young people around twenty, probably can’t afford it yet?"

"That’s why I prepared something else."

Lin Zhiyi took out a ring, also spiral-shaped, adorned with a small diamond.

Very reasonably priced.

The assistant snapped back and gave a thumbs up.

"Impressive, a tailored approach. The wealthy will eye your necklace, while those who can’t afford it will want alternatives."

"Let’s get started."

Lin Zhiyi adjusted her dress and started recording the video.

"Hello everyone, I’m Lin Zhiyi. I’ve seen Qiu Yang’s apology video. First of all, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused."

"Secondly, regarding Qiu Yang’s apology, I believe she didn’t deliberately spread false rumors about me. However, this matter did have a significant impact on Mr. and Mrs. Pan and me."

"But Mr. and Mrs. Pan and I don’t want to dwell on it. After all, Qiu Yang is so young, we don’t want to upset her fans. So this time, I specially selected a piece of jewelry for everyone as a benefit."

"Qiu Yang’s fans can enjoy a discount."

"Thank you all for the support."

The video ended.

The assistant uploaded it while praising, "Miss Lin, truly impressive. Firmly addressing rumors while offering jewelry as a benefit, a perfect act of returning kindness for resentment. Let’s see how Qiu Yang responds."

After uploading, the assistant bought some views for the video.

Qiu Yang’s fans, alerted, came over quickly.

Initially, everyone was hopeful about reconciliation.

Gradually, people started asking if the jewelry benefits were real.

Upon confirming, Lin Zhiyi’s studio received a continuous stream of inquiry calls.

That day, everyone was so busy they couldn’t stand still.

Besides the ring, the necklace also received many pre-orders.

Even better than Lin Zhiyi had expected.

For this, Lin Zhiyi specially arranged to have lunch with Gong Chen.

At a restaurant near a plaza.

When she arrived, Gong Chen was already waiting in a private room.

"Looks like things turned out well."

"That’s why I wanted to share the good news with you. Looks like I’ve hit my sales target for the month ahead of schedule," Lin Zhiyi smiled.

"Congratulations, Designer Lin, this meal is on you."

Silently serving the dishes.

Lin Zhiyi was just calming her rapid heartbeat.

Suddenly, something felt off.

This time, the waiter didn’t announce the dish names or introduce them.

Before, whenever she came with colleagues, they always announced the dishes.

Lin Zhiyi raised her head curiously and noticed the waiter had thick, large glasses.

His skin was rather yellow, making his uniform look even yellower.

The waiter spoke softly, "Let me clear the used tissues on the table for you."

Neither Lin Zhiyi nor Gong Chen stopped them.

As the waiter reached out to wipe the table, Lin Zhiyi immediately noticed something unusual.

Lin Zhiyi quickly grabbed the waiter’s wrist.

"Who are you?"

The waiter froze, startled.

"Miss, what’s wrong with you?"

"You applied such yellow foundation on your face but missed your hand," Lin Zhiyi lifted her hand.

The waiter looked up and met Lin Zhiyi’s eyes.

Lin Zhiyi was surprised, "You’re Qiu Yang?"

The waiter sneered and stepped back to remove the glasses.

"I underestimated Miss Lin. It’s me, and what are you planning to do to me this time?"

"Before you speak, let me advise you, I’ve already filmed you and Third Young Master entering the restaurant together. I’m sure netizens would love to see that."

Qiu Yang patted her pocket.

Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips, "How did I provoke you?"

Qiu Yang’s targeting was baffling.

She snorted, "I said I’m here to uncover the truth. Miss Lin, living it up with Third Young Master, haven’t you thought about those you once suppressed? I’m just revealing your true nature."

Huh?

Suppressed? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

True nature?
