Chapter 193 Insidious and cunning
Xia Yang was not panicked at all, but just confused: "What's wrong?"
"I just received a call from the organizing committee saying someone has anonymously reported you. Xiaoxia, have you offended anyone recently?" the principal asked with concern. He absolutely did not believe the so-called evidence. Someone must have fabricated a rumor.
He offended someone? Xia Yang smiled playfully. It was something new. It had always been others who offended him. Now that the situation had completely changed, Xia Yang was actually interested.
"Report me for what?"
The principal hesitated for a second before finally asking hesitantly, "Is Xiao Xia dating someone?"
Xia Yang hadn't said anything yet. The principal continued, "It's just your private matter. I shouldn't ask about it. But..."
Xia Yang understood: "Report me for being in a relationship?"
"If it's a report of a romantic relationship, the organizing committee won't accept it. What's the big deal? It's just... Xiao Xia, does your partner work at Chengyan?" asked the principal.
"Ah."
"It's a pretty high position, isn't it? An executive?"
Xia Yang thought for a moment, the boss must be an executive, right? "Isn't that right? What's the matter? Is his position related to this?"
"I'll send it to you, take a look. I can't help you much here. I can only use my connections with the organizing committee to get the so-called evidence provided by the anonymous person when he reported it. I bought them a few hours of time. If you can prove your innocence within an hour before the awards ceremony, there will be no more problems."
"Okay, please."
"Don't be so polite. I'll send it to you first."
The principal acted quickly, sending a bunch of photos and email screenshots. He also reminded Xia Yang, "This matter should have been investigated by the organizing committee themselves. But as you know, their investigation involves many procedures and is extremely complex. By the time they get to the bottom of it, who knows when. Your award will definitely be lost." This must have been calculated by the person behind the scenes, who deliberately reported you so close to the awards ceremony. This left you no time to respond. Ask your executive partner if he can find a way to prove it for you.
Xia Yang took a quick look and found that those photos were of him entering and leaving Chengyan Group.
I went to see Fu Xiuyan during those few days, and I was photographed without expecting it. This wasn't just a spur of the moment decision; I had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.
The email was brief, just a few sentences. It alleged that Xia Yang had an improper relationship with a senior executive at Chengyan Group. He was considered unethical and unfit to be a role model. The organizing committee expressed disgrace at bestowing the industry's highest award upon such a person. Furthermore, they questioned the authenticity of the research findings presented by someone of such character. They also questioned whether this honor was bestowed upon him at the behest of some wealthy and powerful individual. The organizing committee was requested to conduct a thorough investigation.
Xia Yang couldn't help laughing when he saw the end. It had been a long time since he met such a stupid person.
I called the principal back.
"I'll record the detailed process of the experiment for you. Please provide it to the organizing committee."
"I have already sent this to them. We provided it when applying for the award. They contacted me today and I provided it to them again. In fact, they have no doubts about your achievements. They have paid special attention to you before. They know that this is your real ability. The focus now is not this." said the principal.
"what is that?"
"It's a matter of personal conduct."
"What?" Xia Yang was puzzled. He was evaluating scientific research, so how could someone, who didn't even dare reveal their name, completely discredit his achievements based on a few photos of him entering and leaving another company and fabricating rumors out of thin air? He was the only one in the photos; not even a scrap of clothing appeared on the person he was trying to fabricate. So he had to prove his innocence?
"Normally, even if this sort of thing really happened, the organizing committee wouldn't question it. But with such a serious report, they have to consider it. If they don't handle it properly, it will definitely have a negative impact. If he only questioned your results, we wouldn't be afraid at all. But such groundless accusations are the hardest to defend. It's truly insidious and vicious!" The principal grew increasingly angry as he spoke. It was so obvious that Xia Yang was being targeted, so he had assumed from the beginning that he had offended some sinister villain.
Xia Yang wasn't as angry as the principal. He was leisurely making tea for himself, as if he wasn't the one being slandered. "Oh, this is difficult. I'm in a serious relationship, but he insists on saying I'm making a deal. I can't explain myself even if I have a mouth."
The principal was furious: "That's right. Dating isn't like getting married. We have a certificate. Let's show it to everyone. Look, we have a relationship certificate. We are a serious couple. There's no such unhealthy or dirty stuff."
Xia Yang was reminded and smiled: "Now that you mention it, I remember that I actually have a certificate."
"What?" the principal was puzzled. "Love certificate? I was just joking. Don't joke with me at this point. Let's think of a solution. Let's find your boyfriend and see if he can come up with anything. This whistleblower is just incredibly stupid. He said he'd report you, so he reported you. He even dragged the organizing committee into this. I heard your award was approved by someone in power. Isn't that just pointing fingers at people and scolding them, accepting bribes, and being intimidated by the powerful? The organizing committee is furious, so everyone is on our side now."
Just as Xia Yang was about to speak, Fu Xiuyan called.
"Speak of the devil, and he'll appear. Don't worry, uncle. He can handle it. I'll take a call. You can enjoy the New Year at home and watch me accept the award live." Xia Yang didn't care much for reputation. The principal had sent him out for the award in the name of the school. He didn't even want to attend the ceremony. But since it was already his, if someone else wanted to grab a piece of it, then sorry, but if the tooth wasn't being used properly, there was no point in keeping it.
"Xia Xia." Fu Xiuyan was full of worry.
"knew?"
"Yeah." Fu Xiuyan was always very attentive to things related to him. As long as Fu Xiuyan was willing, with Cheng Yan's status, it would be easy for him to find out about this kind of thing.
"Have I caused you any trouble?"
"right."
Fu Xiuyan was depressed: "It's all my fault. Don't worry, I'll take care of the organizing committee. You can go as usual tonight."
"Are you on the way?" Xia Yang heard the abnormality in his breathing.
"Yeah, I just got to the airport. I'm flying over now."
"Filming finished?" Of course not. He was still filming when Xiao Wang suddenly rushed over with his phone, bowing and apologizing to the director and the cinematographer, still running towards Fu Xiuyan. Fu Xiuyan knew it was about Xia Yang and turned pale, worried that he might have been in an accident. Even Director Li was startled.
"After the Spring Festival, we gave the crew an additional sum of money, which made Lao Li a bargain again."
Xia Yang raised his eyebrows. He didn't say to Fu Xiuyan that he didn't need to come to accompany him. It was fine as long as the matter was dealt with. It would be the same if we met later. He felt that he needed someone to accompany him now. He felt sorry for him. He was the one who loved him. Xia Yang would never reject Fu Xiuyan's love.
"You're such a loser."
"Well, my husband will earn it back double. I'm not angry, wife."
Xia Yang raised an eyebrow: "Do you have your marriage certificate with you?"
"With it." It was originally in the safe. But since I was going to meet Xia Yang's family this time, I brought it with me.
"Since you said you've implicated me, then you go and solve it. I won't be in charge of this matter anymore. I'll rely entirely on my husband."
Fu Xiuyan stopped and said in a trembling voice: "Xia Xia..."
"Don't worry about Ying Beiyun. I've been telling you that I can handle it. And once this happens, you won't be able to hide it from him anymore."
Fu Xiuyan naturally understood. He had many ways to handle this matter. He had considered the one Xia Yang mentioned, but quickly rejected it. He felt that Xia Yang probably didn't want to make it public at this stage.
But his Xia Xia chose this one.
"Xia Xia, there's no need to be like this. I can handle it well. I won't hurt you at all."
"Don't you want double happiness?" Xia Yang asked.
Fu Xiuyan's pupils shrank slightly. Happiness came so suddenly that he didn't know how to start.
Xia Yang listened to Fu Xiuyan's heavy breathing and said softly, "I miss you so much."
