Rebirth of Love: Jiang Ciyou's Counterattack Legend

Chapter 704: Pressure from External Forces

At the same time, the pressure from the outside world hit Jiang Ciyou like a landslide, and the overwhelming force almost swallowed her up completely. The media were like sharks smelling blood, and they surrounded her company building in groups, with their cameras and cannons pointed at everyone who came in and out. It seemed that they wanted to thoroughly analyze every inch of the company building, just to dig up some so-called "exclusive explosive news".

In the early morning, before the first ray of sunshine had time to dispel the chill of last night, the company's building was already blocked by media vehicles. The reporters carrying cameras and microphones had greed and eagerness in their eyes. They pushed and shouted, trying to break through the security line. Some reporters stood on tiptoe, stretched their necks, and stared at the company's gate, as if as long as Jiang Ciyou appeared, they could interpret a dramatic drama from her expression and behavior; other reporters kept reporting the situation on the scene to the editors in the back, their voices trembling slightly with excitement, and their words were full of expectations for today's headlines.

Public opinion on the Internet was even more one-sided. Netizens abused without knowing the truth. Those ugly words filled the screen, like sharp blades, stabbing straight into Jiang Ciyou's heart. On social media platforms, topics about her remained popular, but when you clicked on them, you would see malicious speculation and slander. Some people said with certainty that she had achieved her previous business success by improper means, but now her true colors were exposed; others questioned her character without any basis, claiming that she was fickle in relationships, abandoned her husband and played with a gigolo, and was not worthy of sympathy at all. In the comment area, various offensive emoticons and vulgar insults were constantly refreshed, which was shocking. Jiang Ciyou didn't even have the courage to open her phone when she thought of the overwhelming bad reviews, as if there were countless hideous faces hidden behind the small screen, ready to tear her into pieces at any time.

At the center of this storm of public opinion, Jiang Ciyou felt as if she was in a stormy ocean, floating alone on a small boat, with every wave impact threatening to overturn her, and every gust of wind sounding like the call of death. She sat alone in the office, the air around her seemed to become heavy and depressing, the lights dimmed, as if they were also mourning for her situation. Outside the window, the city was still bustling with traffic, but it had nothing to do with her. She was isolated in this small, desperate space.

The piles of documents on her desk were no longer a goal to strive for, but a heavy burden. Every page of paper carried a pressure that made her breathless. Her hands rested weakly on the documents, her fingers trembled slightly, her eyes were empty and confused, as if she had lost focus, she just stared mechanically ahead, but could not see anything. Her mind was in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts were entangled like a tangled mess. Sometimes it was the cold and resolute tone of the partner when he broke the contract, sometimes it was the rumors from the streets, and sometimes it was the unbearable abuse on the Internet. These voices buzzed in her ears and could not be shaken off.

Jiang Ciyou tried to take a deep breath to calm herself down, but every time she inhaled, it was as if she was inhaling a lot of despair, making her chest feel stuffy and uncomfortable. She thought of her former dream, the young girl who entered the business world with full enthusiasm, with a vision of the future in her eyes, and firmly believed that she could make a name for herself with her own efforts. She struggled all the way, endured countless days and nights, never backed down in the face of provocations from competitors, and gritted her teeth in the face of difficulties and setbacks. It was not easy to accumulate some achievements and win the respect and recognition of her peers.

However, now, all of this is as fragile as bubbles, ruthlessly punctured by reality. The confidence and courage she once had now seemed to have become a huge joke, mocking her innocence and childishness. She couldn't help but ask herself: "What did I do wrong? Why did fate treat me like this?" But the only response she got was endless silence.

In this dark moment, she felt that her world had completely collapsed, and the road ahead was obscured by heavy fog, with no glimmer of hope. She didn't know how to tear a hole in this predicament and find the light of life again. Every thought that flashed through her mind was accompanied by a deeper sense of powerlessness, as if she was trapped in an unsolvable vicious circle, and could only continue to sink into the abyss of despair.

Jiang Ciyou thought of the inspirational stories she had read before, where the protagonists always managed to survive in difficult situations and turned the tide with their tenacious perseverance and unyielding spirit. But now it was her turn, and she found that reality was much crueler than she had imagined. She tried to draw strength from her past experiences and recall the moments when she successfully overcame difficulties, but the current miserable situation kept appearing in her mind, making her more depressed.

She stood up, dragged her heavy steps to the window, put her hands on the cold glass, looked at the chaotic scene downstairs, and felt sad. On the street, pedestrians hurried by, and occasionally someone stopped and looked up at the company building, with curiosity or indifference in their eyes, but no one could really understand her pain at the moment. Jiang Ciyou felt like an orphan abandoned by the world, bearing all the suffering alone.

Suddenly, a rapid knock on the door broke the silence of the office. Jiang Ciyou was startled and her body trembled violently. She hurriedly tidied her hair, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Come in." The door slowly opened, and assistant Xiao Wu walked in in a panic, holding a stack of documents in his hand, his eyes full of worry: "Mr. Jiang, this is the latest public opinion report, the situation is not optimistic, and several partners have sent notices of termination of contract, you see..." Before Xiao Wu finished speaking, Jiang Ciyou felt a black screen in front of her eyes, her body shook slightly, and she almost fell. Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and shouted anxiously: "Mr. Jiang, are you okay!"

Jiang Ciyou leaned on Xiao Wu and waved her hand weakly: "I'm fine, put the file here." Xiao Wu carefully helped her sit on the chair, gently placed the file on the table, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mr. Jiang, those media outside are too much, should we find a way to clarify? The company really can't hold on at this rate." Jiang Ciyou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Clarify? Now public opinion is one-sided, they won't listen to our explanation at all, they will only think we are quibbling." Xiao Wu gritted his teeth: "We can't just sit there and wait for death, Mr. Jiang, you have always been the person I admire the most, I believe you can find a way to get through this difficult time."

Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked at the determined look in Xiao Wu's eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. At this time when everyone was avoiding her, there were still people willing to believe in her. This trust seemed precious. She patted Xiao Wu's hand: "Thank you, Xiao Wu, you go out first, let me be alone." Xiao Wu nodded, turned and walked out of the office, gently closing the door.

Jiang Ciyou picked up the public opinion report again and read it page by page. Every word was like a handful of salt, sprinkled on her wounds. Her tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall. She knew that now was not the time to cry. She had to cheer up and fight for it with all her strength even if there was only a glimmer of hope. But where should she start? Her thoughts fell into chaos again, and she grabbed her hair tightly with both hands, as if this could pull out those messy thoughts from her mind.

At this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly, and the sharp sound was particularly harsh in the silent office. Jiang Ciyou was startled and hurriedly picked up the phone. Seeing Lu Jingchen's name on the screen, a complex emotion surged in her heart, with surprise, touching, and more grievance. She took a deep breath, pressed the answer button, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Hello..." Lu Jingchen's anxious voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Ciyou, how are you? I just saw the news on the Internet. Don't panic, I'll come to you right away." When Jiang Ciyou heard Lu Jingchen's voice, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and fell down: "Jingchen, what should I do? I feel like my world has collapsed..." Lu Jingchen said distressedly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine. Wait for me at the company, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ciyou wiped her tears with a tissue, and her heart was a little relieved. She knew that Lu Jingchen was her only support now. As long as he was by her side, she would have the courage to face any difficulties. She sat up again, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and began to think about the response strategy in her mind. Although the road ahead was still confusing, at this moment, she was no longer fighting alone.

Not long after, Lu Jingchen rushed to the company in a hurry. He ignored the security guards' obstruction and went straight to Jiang Ciyou's office. Pushing open the door and seeing Jiang Ciyou's haggard face and red and swollen eyes, Lu Jingchen's heart suddenly tightened. He took a few steps to Jiang Ciyou and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to use his arms to build a solid line of defense for her to withstand all the wind and rain. "Ciyou, I'm sorry, I'm late." Lu Jingchen whispered in her ear. Jiang Ciyou leaned in his arms, her tears soaked his clothes again, and she choked and said, "No, you came at the right time, I really don't know what to do..."

Lu Jingchen gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't worry, we will face it together. I have contacted some friends, they will help deal with the public opinion issues, and I will also communicate with the partners, you have to believe me." Jiang Ciyou raised her head and looked at Lu Jingchen's firm eyes, and a strength she had never felt before surged in her heart. She nodded: "I believe you." Lu Jingchen let go of her, put his hands on her shoulders, and said seriously: "Ciyou, you have to cheer up too, you are not alone, your company, your employees, all need you. We will definitely get through this difficult time." Jiang Ciyou took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Well, I know, I won't give up easily."

Lu Jingchen held her in his arms again, and the two of them hugged each other tightly, as if at this moment, the world had quieted down. In this stormy predicament, they found each other and became each other's most solid support. Although the road ahead is still long and full of difficulties, at this moment, their hearts are full of hope, ready to work together to break through the fog and welcome the dawn that belongs to them.

Afterwards, Lu Jingchen began to get busy. On one hand, he arranged for people to deal with the public opinion on the Internet, contacted a professional public relations team, and developed a detailed crisis public relations plan, trying to guide the public opinion and restore the truth; on the other hand, he personally ran between various partners, relying on his connections and prestige accumulated in the business world over the years, as well as his keen insight into business, to sincerely explain to them Jiang Ciyou's character and the company's potential. Every time he met with a partner, he spoke sincerely and with a firm look in his eyes, impressing the other party with his sincerity.

Jiang Ciyou also pulled herself together in the office. She called an emergency meeting with her employees. At the meeting, she looked at the employees who had worked hard with her, her heart full of guilt and gratitude. She cleared her throat, her voice was still a little hoarse, but full of strength: "Everyone, the company has encountered some difficulties during this period. I know that everyone is working hard and worried. However, I want to tell you that we can't be defeated like this. We have worked together for so long and achieved so many results. We can't let all this be destroyed. I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." After listening to Jiang Ciyou's words, the employees nodded one after another, and their eyes were rekindled with fighting spirit.

In the following days, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen fought side by side. They worked day and night, not missing any opportunity to solve the problem. Jiang Ciyou studied the market trends in depth, reorganized the company's business, and looked for new breakthroughs. She led her employees to work overtime and fine-tune each project, trying to rebuild hope from the ruins. Lu Jingchen used all his resources to escort Jiang Ciyou. Whether in business dealings or dealing with malicious provocations from the outside world, he was calm and decisive.

As time went by, their efforts gradually began to bear fruit. Some partners began to re-examine their cooperation with Jiang Ciyou, and their attitudes gradually loosened. Online public opinion also slowly took a turn for the better, and some rational voices began to appear, questioning the authenticity of the previous malicious rumors. When Jiang Ciyou learned the news, a long-lost light flashed in her eyes, which was the dawn of hope. She knew that she and Lu Jingchen were getting out of the predicament step by step. Although the road ahead was still difficult, as long as the two worked together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

In this thrilling crisis, the feelings between Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen have become stronger. They support each other, grow together, and become the most important people in each other's lives. They not only fight side by side in their careers, but also care more about each other in life. Jiang Ciyou will prepare a warm dinner for Lu Jingchen after a busy day. Although it is simple, it is full of love; Lu Jingchen will also make a cup of hot tea for Jiang Ciyou when she is exhausted, and gently massage her shoulders to help her relieve stress.

Jiang Ciyou's husband, after seeing them gradually turn the situation around, felt increasingly unwilling, but helpless. His various evil deeds not only failed to achieve his goal, but also put himself in a deeper predicament. He begged for help everywhere, trying to find new funds, but was met with setbacks everywhere. Those who used to be close to him now avoided him. He hid alone in a dark corner, full of repentance for the past, but no longer had the courage to face Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen.

In the end, with the help of Lu Jingchen, Jiang Ciyou not only stabilized the company's situation, but also opened up new business areas. With her unique vision and decisive decision-making, she launched several products that were well received by the market, and the company's performance was booming. She was also reborn, exuding confidence and mature charm. The haze of the past was swept away, replaced by a full vision of the future.

Lu Jingchen watched Jiang Ciyou move towards success step by step, and his heart was full of pride. He knew that Jiang Ciyou had a spirit of not admitting defeat in her bones, and as long as she was given a chance, she would shine. He became more determined to spend his life with her, and began to quietly prepare a surprise, wanting to give Jiang Ciyou an unforgettable promise at the right time, so that this love that had gone through hardships would come to a perfect end.

At this time, Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stood at the highest point of the city, overlooking the brightly lit night scene below, their hearts full of emotion. Holding hands, they reviewed the hardships and sweetness along the way, knowing that this happiness was hard-won. They promised that no matter how many storms there are in the future, they will stick together, never leave each other, and write their legendary life together, so that this love will always shine in the night sky of this bustling city.
