Even though Lin Shanchu’s reaction was calm, Nan Mu did not feel disappointed.
He had to share this kind of happiness with everyone else.
Huo Xunzhou was the most boring person ever. He did not react at all.
At least Lin Shanchu would acknowledge Nan Mu.
“Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with our director. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but he actually shared the marketing account’s Weibo post. Hahaha!”
Lin Shanchu was speechless.
Nan Mu laughed his fill before realizing that Lin Shanchu showed no reaction at all.
“Don’t you find it funny?”
Lin Shanchu didn’t reply.
She was silent for a moment, but in the end, she still didn’t tell Nan Mu that she was the one who used the director’s phone to share the Weibo post.
“I’m very busy. Goodbye.”
“Hello?”
Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Nan Mu put down the phone with mixed feelings.
Huo Xunzhou hung up on him.
Lin Shanchu also hung up on him.
They made Nan Mu’s life as a worker with the “Boss” title very difficult.
The worker, Nan Mu, who had no one to share his happiness with, turned around and secretly bought a bunch of bots to join the battlefield.
They stirred up trouble everywhere on the internet.
Not only that, but they also dragged Lu Shiyuan into the mess.
The netizens even used Lu Shiyuan’s pictures to make memes.
[Don’t be a man like me.jpg], [I’m impotent.jpg], and other memes were published on that day. The memes were then spread across all major social media platforms.
The public relations department of the Lu Corporation carried out emergency public relations strategies.
They deleted the posts and removed the trending topic. Then, they closed off the comment sections on the Lu Corporation’s official Weibo account and Lu Shiyuan’s personal Weibo page.
The netizens started commenting elsewhere.
[Oho! Did they turn off the comment sections?]
[He’s getting anxious! He doesn’t want to become a laughing stock!]
[He’s still pretending to be dead after all this time. It seems that he’s not a true man at all.]
The entire internet made fun of Lu Shiyuan at that time.
Tang Qidai panicked.
“How could it be like this?” She randomly scrolled through two Weibo posts, both of which were hinting at Lu Shiyuan’s incompetence in bed.
Previously, Xia Jinmeng had contacted her and said that she had thought of a way to deal with Lin Shanchu.
Naturally, she would be more than happy to help that idiot Xia Jinmeng.
Things were going very smoothly. Soon, Lin Shanchu was on the receiving end of intense scolding and insults.
However, after one night passed, the direction of public opinion changed.
They even dragged Lu Shiyuan into this.
Tang Qidai took out her phone and wanted to call Lu Shiyuan, but then she remembered that Lu Shiyuan was a person who cared about his reputation.
She really couldn’t make this call.
At this time, Lu Shiyuan was sitting in his office and making a phone call.
He called Lin Shanchu.
Even though he knew that Lin Shanchu’s phone was taken away as soon as she entered the show, he still kept calling.
Honestly, he wanted to ask Lin Shanchu why she felt the need to be this ruthless face-to-face.
Zhou Yan stood by the side and silently counted the number of times Lu Shiyuan had called.
He had already made more than a hundred calls.
CEO Lu’s limited patience was all spent on Ms. Lin.
“The number you have dialed is not reachable…”
The mechanical female voice kept ringing from the other side of the phone.
Bam!
The phone was thrown out.
Zhou Yan was used to seeing such scenes. He picked up the phone fragments with a calm expression on his face.
Lu Shiyuan took a deep breath and gradually calmed down from his rage. “Get the people from the PR department to come in.”
The public relations department came up with a solution as soon as public opinion started going viral.
However, Lu Shiyuan had always believed that Lin Shanchu would not be so ruthless, so he did not let the people from the public relations department do their job.
Zhou Yan opened the door. “President Lu wants you guys to come in.”
The people from the public relations department went in and said,” President
Lu, we’ve come up with three plans in total…”
Lu Shiyuan interrupted with a cold expression, “Go with the plan that requires me to clarify the situation.”
Lu Shiyuan coming out personally to clarify the situation was indeed the best choice.
The public relations department made a few alternate plans because they couldn’t figure out Lu Shiyuan’s thoughts.
“Yes, sir.”
After the people from the public relations department left the office, Zhou Yan skillfully took out a new phone that he had prepared long ago and passed it to Lu Shiyuan.
[After the rumor of “Lin Shanchu’s special sexual orientation” was spread for 20 hours, her fiancé, Lu Shiyuan, the president of the Lu Corporation, came out to clarify the matter and said that he would take legal action against the ones who started the rumor…]
Nan Mu read the latest news before exiting the interface in disappointment.
“Lu Shiyuan actually admitted defeat so quickly. Lin Shanchu really knows him well.” Back then, Lin Shanchu wanted to leave Lu Shiyuan hanging for a while. Nan Mu thought that Lu Shiyuan would only clarify things earliest by night time.
Huo Xunzhou, who was sitting across from Nan Mu, glanced at him after he finished watching the news.
Nan Mu was already used to Huo Xunzhou’s reticent personality, so when the latter glanced at him, he thought it was a signal for him to communicate with him.
Nan Mu started to ramble again.
“I think Lu Shiyuan is really crazy.
“Let’s take this incident as an example. He could have called off the engagement and cut all ties, but he insisted on competing with Lin Shanchu! He went down to lead public opinion, but in the end, he got himself into trouble. It affected his image, forcing him to come out and clarify the matter.
“What kind of feelings does Lu Shiyuan have for Lin Shanchu? Whenever he faces off with her, he ends up burning himself alive just to hurt her.” Nan Mu shook his head before asking, “Xunzhou, you’re smart. Tell me why Lu
Shiyuan…”
His voice quickly trailed away the moment he made eye contact with Huo Xunzhou’s cold expression.
Nan Mu almost forgot.
Huo Xunzhou and Lu Shiyuan were now love rivals.
Nan Mu tried to say something to ease the atmosphere.
“How’s the arrangement for her advertising resources coming along?” Huo Xunzhou suddenly asked.
Nan Mu was stunned for a moment before he realized that the “she” Huo Xunzhou was referring to Lin Shanchu.
“Two days ago, another company specifically asked to cooperate with Lin Shanchu! Guess which company it is?” Nan Mu smiled mysteriously.
Before Huo Xunzhou could say anything, Nan Mu said proudly, “You definitely won’t be able to guess it.”
Huo Xunzhou reached out and tapped the table twice. “It’s Capital City’s…”
Nan Mu’s eyebrows twitched. It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
“Yun Ding Group,” Huo Xunzhou continued.
Nan Mu was speechless as his mouth started twitching. “Did you install spyware on my phone?”
“The Yun Ding Group only asked to cooperate with her. Is there anyone else?” Huo Xunzhou asked.
“Nope.” Nan Mu felt that Huo Xunzhou was implying something. ‘What do you mean? Is there anyone among the members who have a relationship with the Yun Ding Group?”
Huo Xunzhou looked at his watch before stating, “I have a dinner appointment tonight.”
Li MO walked over and pushed Huo Xunzhou out.
“You haven’t answered my question yet!” Nan Mu shouted from behind.
The members didn’t have phones.
They had no idea what was happening outside.
Xia Jinmeng noticed that the director had given out chocolates to everyone but Lin Shanchu. She thought that Lin Shanchu was about to be abandoned by the production crew because of the rumors.
Therefore, she spent the whole afternoon spreading the rumors that plagued the internet across the training camp, be it intentional or not.
Lin Shanchu was on her way to the cafeteria after she was done with the afternoon training when she realized that all the other girls were avoiding her like plague.
[Xia Jinmeng has been spreading the news that you like women all afternoon.] The system suddenly came back to life.
“Why are you suddenly helping me?” Lin Shanchu was a little surprised.
The system replied, [You’re making it sound like I’m always trying to harm you….]
