After the painting was taken away, Jack happily invited Ji Xiaoli to continue strolling with him.
"Sure enough, heroes emerge young. You don't look like an ordinary person at all."
Jack loudly praised Ji Xiaoli, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know how outstanding Ji Xiaoli was this time.
Zheng Nanfeng beside them also showed a proud smile, as if Jack was praising him.
"No, I just noticed something wrong and told you. It's just what I should do."
"What you did has helped me a lot. If you need anything from me in the future, just say so."
He was very grateful to Ji Xiaoli for the advice she gave him this time.
Ji Xiaoli somehow got a promise from Jack.
After all, for a well - known person like Jack, his promise would surely be as good as gold.
However, Jack had his own motives for doing this.
If that painting had really appeared at the exhibition and was recognized by experts, it would have been a huge embarrassment.
Although Jack himself was a master, being wrong in judgment would still subject him to merciless ridicule.
Ji Xiaoli's appearance just saved Jack from such an embarrassing situation.
Seeing this, Jace immediately remembered the photos circulating on the Internet.
An idea popped into his mind. Then he came over with a smile and said to Jack,
"Mr. Jack, you'd better stay away from this young lady."
Jace's tone was laced with a hint of mockery.
Jack sensed that this was not a casual remark and became a bit curious.
It was Jace who had introduced Ji Xiaoli to him in the first place.
Jace never spoke like this before. Could something have happened that Ji Xiaoli hadn't mentioned?
"Why? Do they have some strange customs in China?"
"You don't know that on the Chinese Internet, the relationship between the two of you is quite special."
Jace stopped there, leaving a meaningful look for Jack.
Oh? It sounded quite interesting.
Jack asked Ji Xiaoli curiously, "What special relationship do we have?"
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli felt a bit helpless but was still grateful to Jace for speaking up for her.
In fact, Ji Xiaoli herself hadn't paid much attention to the online news.
She had been sleeping all day to get well - rested for the evening.
She had no idea what was going on so hotly on the Internet.
All she knew were the strange words Shen Wei said on the phone in the morning.
Under their curious gazes, Jace had someone take out their phone.
People around them all took out their phones and briefly told Jack what had happened.
"This is so absurd! What are these people thinking?"
After hearing this, Jack's face looked a bit unnatural.
He had never been so widely slandered and mocked abroad.
Although he was highly respected online, the malice towards this little girl was too much.
Besides, Ji Xiaoli was just a young girl. These people were being too harsh.
Actually, Ji Xiaoli wasn't that young. It was just that Orientals tended to look younger.
However, this didn't stop Jack from feeling guilty towards Ji Xiaoli.
"It seems I've implicated you. I'll help you clarify this now."
Saying this, he asked his assistant to bring his phone.
After the assistant came, Jack thought for a while and knew what to do.
Although he didn't use the Internet much, he knew there must be someone behind this.
He immediately took a photo with Zheng Nanfeng and Ji Xiaoli and posted it.
"Had a great time with two excellent friends. Hope to hang out with them often."
There were always many big shots following Jack's Weibo, just like they were tracking economic trends.
After all, any major move of Jack's would have a significant impact on the economic circle.
As soon as the Instagram post was made, it was quickly reposted by many people and was also screenshot and spread to China by some interested people.
Although Ji Xiaoli was quite famous in China, she was unknown in foreign countries.
Some people under this Instagram post asked who Ji Xiaoli was.
Jack liked their comment and replied,
"This beautiful lady is going to auction some cultural relics and donate the money to the country. She's truly a noble person. In ancient China, she would be a female knight - errant."
These news quickly spread to China through the media.
Those who had been slandering Ji Xiaoli all shut up after seeing this news.
Since Jack himself had said so, if they continued to slander, no one would believe them.
Those marketing accounts quickly deleted their Weibo posts.
If Jack, whom even the economic circle respected, had recognized Ji Xiaoli as an outstanding person, then slandering her would be like going against the economic circle.
They were afraid that Jack would settle the score with them later.
"Alright, the matter is resolved. I think we can enjoy today's exhibition."
After putting down his phone, Jack was very satisfied but still felt a bit guilty towards Ji Xiaoli.
After a while, Jack suddenly learned that some other guests had just come to the exhibition. He felt a bit apologetic.
"You two can wander around here. Just tell the waiter if you need anything. I'll go and greet the other guests."
Ji Xiaoli nodded. Watching Jack leave, she thought it was unnecessary to let the host accompany them all the time since they were just guests.
Ji Xiaoli soon received feedback from China.
After this Instagram post was made, Ji Xiaoli's reputation was restored.
Now all the comments about Ji Xiaoli were praises.
People were saying that Ji Xiaoli was a woman who could carry forward the Chinese spirit.
"I've always said that Ji Xiaoli is a true - hearted person. How could she be a traitor!"
"Jack said that Ji Xiaoli is a Chinese female knight - errant. I don't know who has been leading the negative rhythm!"
Fans on the Internet started to mock each other back and forth. It was rather boring, so Ji Xiaoli turned off her phone.
Ji Xiaoli didn't care about others' opinions. What mattered most was what she thought.
Ji Xiaoli was a person who always acted in line with her thoughts.
Just as Ji Xiaoli was looking around, the voice of the system in her mind rang out again.
[Hello, player. Do you want to consume 88,888 good - luck points to exchange for a piece of information?]
88,888 good - luck points?
Ji Xiaoli was quite surprised at this number. What kind of information could be worth so many good - luck points?
The system replied after a while.
[This information is confidential. Do you want to exchange for it?]
It was so tight - lipped and didn't want to reveal anything! Ji Xiaoli silently complained in her heart.
The system didn't respond to Ji Xiaoli's complaint. It just continued to act as if it was dead.
No matter how hard Ji Xiaoli tried to get the system's attention, she couldn't pry a single thing out of it.
The more the system refused to say, the more curious Ji Xiaoli became.
What on earth was this information that made the system ask for such a high number of good - luck points?
