Huo Jingjing got to where she was today, not because of stupid moves like she had displayed earlier. She was extremely clear-minded, "Rather than waiting for her to provoke us in secret, we might as well make a move first!"
Tangning lowered her head to look at Huo Jingjing's hand; she felt overcome with emotions, "This was originally an issue between Zhen Manni and myself, you should not have been implicated."
"Your issue is my issue. There is no such thing as should or should not."
That night, the news of Huo Jingjing hitting someone appeared on top of the news headlines. It wasn't because of Huo Jingjing's popularity that the news went viral, but because artists at Hai Rui never made lowly mistakes like this in public. Yet, Huo Jingjing hit someone, and they were fans of Zhen Manni. This drama appeared to be an internal battle; to the reporters, this was an extremely attractive piece of gossip.
At the break of dawn, as expected, Fang Yu was disturbed by phone calls from the media. Hai Rui immediately activated their PR, but...because 1 of the 3 women that were slapped turned out to be the daughter of a government official, Huo Jingjing's mistake wasn't easy to fix.
The government official's daughter went straight to the hospital to examine her injury and decided to sue Huo Jingjing. Meanwhile, Hai Rui immediately reacted by offering to provide a satisfactory solution.
So, while the sky was still dark, Fang Yu sat on the sofa inside Huo Jingjing's apartment and sighed helplessly, "You really know how to pick your enemies."
"What are her conditions?" Huo Jingjing leaned against her bed dressed in a pair of pajamas as she questioned Fang Yu.
"She wants you to make a public apology and compensate for any losses," Fang Yu placed the information on the table and looked at Huo Jingjing confusedly, "Is this your way of letting loose? You've never created trouble for Hai Rui by hitting people like this in the past."
Huo Jingjing turned around and placed her face close to Fang Yu, "Come, throw me two slaps."
"Are you really not afraid that President Mo will punish you?"
"President Mo knows why I acted this way," Huo Jingjing replied with a deeper meaning. After speaking, she plopped down on the sofa, "Recently, Tangning has been suffering and tolerating, did Zhen Manni really think no one noticed? Tangning has been trying her best to avoid clashing with Zhen Manni face-to-face. But, you and I both know, Zhen Manni will merely take advantage of that fact."
"Let me reignite Tangning's fire and stop her from avoiding. This is the best outcome."
"You've really thought things out carefully for Tangning," Fang Yu understood Huo Jingjing's intention. Although Hai Rui was internally united and no one had any opinions towards Mo Ting becoming Tangning's manager, half of Zhen Manni's heart no longer belonged to Hai Rui. So, as soon as her status was threatened, it was impossible for her to let it pass.
"That's because I've decided to retreat from the industry..." Huo Jingjing announced comfortably, "How many more times can I help Tangning?"
As soon as he heard Huo Jingjing's intention to retreat, Fang Yu was stunned. This was something that had never even crossed his mind. He was so stunned that as he spoke, he stumbled with his words, "Re...retreat? Why?"
"I'm tired...I want to go get married." After speaking, Huo Jingjing lay on the sofa and closed her eyes.
Fang Yu remained silent for a while before lowering his head and suddenly asking, "Have you spoken to President Mo about your intention to retreat?"
"After the incident with Huo Jingjing is over, I'll speak to him about it," Huo Jingjing replied quietly.
"Where do you plan to go afterwards?"
"I'm not sure...I want to find a lover, I want a stable family, I want...a child. But, at the moment, this all seems quite difficult to achieve."
Fang Yu didn't say anything. Actually, his heart was in quite a mess.
He had always found women like Huo Jingjing were hard to understand. It wasn't like she was an old lady, but she appeared to have a lot of worries.
