Chapter 1717: Chapter 1717: Born to the Corner (31)

Sang Yu was the involved party, so he had more authority to speak on the matter.

However, Sang Yu wasn’t sure who exactly had set him up; every time he seemed to have a turning point, all sorts of strange accidents would occur.

Like the incident Chuzheng stumbled upon last time.

He did try to investigate the person behind it, but unfortunately, he found nothing useful.

”Were you participating in any competition or had any important career opportunities when you were framed?” Chuzheng asked.

”I was preparing to sign a contract with a company at the time...”

But that opportunity wasn’t unique, although the company was decent, it wasn’t top-tier.

He just wanted to settle down temporarily, learn a bit, and while at it, have a job to make ends meet.

So after the incident, Sang Yu never considered that company’s direction, nor did he pay attention to who the company later hired.

Besides this matter, he had nothing that would put him in competition with others.

”What you think is impossible might not be the same for others,” Chuzheng leisurely said, ”Don’t measure others with your own mindset.”

Sang Yu fell silent, searched for his computer, and turned it on.

Upon seeing the photos on the computer screen, Chuzheng’s mood lifted slightly.

Sang Yu quickly opened a website, which didn’t have information about photographers, though some introductions did have photographer tags.

Sang Yu looked at a few names he didn’t recognize.

Finally, he flipped to a name, Chuzheng glanced over: ”Recognize it?”

Mi...

A surname shared with Mina.

”He... was my junior.”

Mi Yan.

Sang Yu remembered this person clearly, Mi Yan was Mina’s younger brother, since Mina was his classmate, and they had a good relationship, she would always bring Mi Yan along.

Mi Yan was young, spoke amusingly, very likable.

Mi Yan’s first job was actually found by Sang Yu for him.

Chuzheng searched Mi Yan’s name on Weibo, finding several similar ones, but only one was verified.

The verification was precisely as the photographer from this company.

Chuzheng clicked in, immediately seeing Mi Yan’s photo, bearing a resemblance to Mina of about seventy to eighty percent, quite a handsome young man.

”Is it him?”

Sang Yu glanced at it: ”...Hmm.”

Chuzheng scrolled down Mi Yan’s Weibo, seeing posts about him winning awards, his own photography works, and some shares.

The Weibo was evidently frequently logged in, with occasional posts of his own photos, and a significant fanbase.

”Anything coming to mind?” Chuzheng asked Sang Yu while scrolling through Weibo.

Sang Yu actually had a good impression of Mi Yan, he was a very studious child, humbly asking for advice on anything he didn’t understand, anyone would be willing to offer him guidance.

But...

During that period, Mi Yan was the only one entering and leaving his place.

His computer files, if Mi Yan wanted to steal and then delete the originals, it would have been very easy...

Initially, this matter wasn’t crucial, his style was something that anyone with a little understanding could recognize at a glance.

The key was the subsequent accusations that claimed he took advantage of his photography work to harass women.

The crux of this was the existence of photos...

These photos were mostly due to angle issues, some were incidents during shoots, intentionally captured by others.

Sang Yu carefully recalled the times those photos were taken, most of the time Mi Yan was present at the site...

In the capacity of an intern assistant.

Darkness flitted across Sang Yu’s eyes.

Was it really him?

He treated Mi Yan as a talented junior, with hardly any reservations in instructing him, would he really do such a thing to him?

Why would he?

Just for that job opportunity?

Sang Yu couldn’t understand, that job opportunity wasn’t worth such elaborate maneuvers.

”Do you think it’s him?” Chuzheng asked again.

Sang Yu shook his head: ”I don’t know.”

Sang Yu’s mind was a chaotic mess.

Sang Yu wanted to be alone for a while, Chuzheng pointed at the room beside them.

Sang Yu: ”...”

Sang Yu dared not ask Chuzheng to leave, so he could only go into the room himself.

Looking at the young man in the photos, Chuzheng wondered if such coincidences could happen.

She didn’t believe it.

Chuzheng contacted someone to investigate Mi Yan.

Sang Yu lit a cigarette, in the dark room, only the flickering glow of the cigarette remained.

He believed he hadn’t wronged Mi Yan in any way, if it was him, then why?

After finishing the cigarette, Sang Yu opened his phone and reviewed Mi Yan’s Weibo, one post after another.

Until he reached the time around his own downfall, Sang Yu’s fingers suddenly paused.

The phone screen displayed a group photo, showing Mi Yan a few years ago, slightly naive, just stepping into society.

Standing beside him was a renowned international photographer...

Sang Yu frowned, checked the posting time, right after his incident.

Searching for news, Sang Yu quickly found information from years ago about this celebrated photographer being invited by the company.

Sang Yu hadn’t kept up with the industry for a long time, initially muddled for half a year, later too lazy to look, as long as he had food to eat.

After searching Mi Yan’s name, Sang Yu realized how well Mi Yan was doing now.

And within this, there was evidently the influence of this renowned photographer.

If Mi Yan truly orchestrated the incident, then Sang Yu somewhat understood his motive.

This master was inaccessible to ordinary people, but within a company, would opportunities to meet him be scarce?

With determination, you were bound to meet him.

With this master’s protection, as long as the technique wasn’t lacking, it wouldn’t take long to surpass peers on the same starting line.

Mi Yan...

Could it be him?

While Sang Yu was still contemplating whether Mi Yan was involved, Chuzheng had already initiated an investigation.

No worries about the time elapsed, recently Mina had suddenly appeared, lingering before the Good Person Card, definitely suspicious!

If Mi Yan was responsible, Chuzheng refused to believe she couldn’t trace anything.

Chuzheng quickly got hold of Mi Yan’s data from recent years.

Having entered the company, met the master, and formed a titular master-disciple relationship, after winning several awards, with the master’s recommendation, he swiftly ascended into higher circles.

Mi Yan’s abilities should be considered reliable, otherwise, unless he was the master’s illegitimate child, the master wouldn’t gamble their reputation.

But if Mi Yan hadn’t joined the company back then, would he have achieved these accomplishments now?

Opportunity is crucial for someone.

Chuzheng wasn’t certain if this person was Mi Yan...

But it’s okay, humans are born with mouths, besides eating, they can ask questions.

Self-reliance leads to abundance!

I can do it!

Go for it!

[???] What does this have to do with self-reliance leading to abundance? What does it matter!! Why are you encouraging yourself!

King’s Account felt anxious.

[Missy, calm down, we’re a proper Spendthrift System, if money can solve it, don’t get physical.]

[Main mission: Buy XX company, limited to fifteen days.]

King’s Account hurriedly issued a mission to thwart Chuzheng’s insane thoughts.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Chuzheng’s mood soured instantly.

Things that could be resolved in minutes, why insist on complicating them!

[Keep it up, Missy!]

Chuzheng: ”...”

Don’t want to keep it up, want to hit something
