Chapter 487 Hype

"Li Tingxi, I don't want to argue with you anymore because you've tried your best to take care of the children. But the mess you made is something I have to clean up now. Do you think I don't want to be with the children?"

Li Tingxi looked at her chest, which was rising and falling slightly with anger, and his eyelashes trembled. He wanted to say that Ding Muyan had impure feelings for him, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

He doesn't have that position now, not to mention that all of this is indeed because of him, just as Su Youling said.

That's why he felt like his throat was stuffed with cotton, and his chest felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

Seeing that he was speechless, Su Youling snatched the prescription from his hand, her expression turning cold. "I'll get the medicine myself, so I won't trouble you."

Li Tingxi watched her turn and leave, a dark cloud settling over his eyes.

Just then, Qin He, who had come to report on his work, ran right into the crossfire and suffered this undeserved disaster, all because of Wen Xi.

...

The hospital wasn't far from the airport, so Su Youling booked a private room at a nearby restaurant and sent a message to Ding Muyan, asking him to come over for a face-to-face meeting as soon as he landed.

An hour later, Ding Muyan, looking travel-worn, arrived alone. He paused for a moment when he saw Su Youling. "Miss Rebecca, you look quite haggard lately because of the negative online comments. Or have you and Li Tingxi really broken up?"

He was not only haggard, but also so thin that he was quite frightened when he first saw him.

Su Youling could easily see through Ding Muyan's probing, but she had no intention of discussing her private matters with him right now.

She slightly raised her chin, adopting a businesslike attitude, "Mr. Ding, there was really no need for you to make this trip in person. Since I promised to resolve all the issues, Mr. Ding should show his trust in me."

Ding Muyan handed his coat to the waiter, and only after the door closed did he reveal his aggressive side, scoffing lightly: "Your opponent is Li Tingxi. Regardless of whether you can beat him, can you guarantee that you won't act on your emotions?"

He narrowed his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and exuded an imposing aura. "Rebecca, I can't wait, and your time is even more limited. You should know how much pressure I was under to get this opportunity."

Despite his pressure, Su Youling remained unfazed, calmly lifting her eyelids slightly. "President Ding, you underestimate me too much. The business world is like a battlefield. No matter who my opponent is, I will go all out. Have you already forgotten how I turned the tide last time?"

"If that's true, then that would be wonderful. But I'm curious, if Li Tingxi made a move against the Strange Kingdom, then how come I heard he's now in the hospital watching over your children? What exactly are you two up to?" Ding Muyan raised an eyebrow, sitting back down while his meaningful, scrutinizing gaze remained fixed on her face.

“Mr. Ding, is it really necessary for me to report all my private matters to you?” Su Youling frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed. “I’ve said before that your decision to choose me as a partner was the wisest one, and that will never change. At tomorrow’s art exhibition and new product design launch, I will ensure that all public opinion is in favor of Strange Kingdom. You just need to sit back and watch the show.”

Noticing her dislike, Ding Muyan clicked his tongue.

Looking at the composed woman before him, who seemed to have everything under control, he couldn't help but laugh out loud:

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

Now that you've said that, I'm actually starting to look forward to it.

Su Youling stood up. "I suppose President Ding has made all the arrangements for his trip to City C. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

Watching her walk away without hesitation, Ding Muyan was somewhat displeased and raised his voice: "I heard that Karina seems to have been imprisoned by Li Tingxi. Is it because of you? Rebecca, your methods are truly impressive."

Su Youling stopped in her tracks, turned around and gave him a cold glare: "President Ding, neither in public nor private matters should we be able to pry into each other's private lives, so I advise you not to overstep your bounds."

After saying that, she ignored Ding Muyan's ashen face and left the private room on her own.

Ding Muyan's jawline tightened, and the next second he was so angry that he laughed.

...

Meanwhile, at the Li Mansion.

The news that Strange Kingdom will respond to the recent negative public opinion at its new product launch has been released on its official website and quickly became a trending topic by netizens and online trolls.

Shen Xiyue also saw the trending topic immediately.

These days, Strange Country has frequently been trending on social media for negative reasons, and she has certainly contributed to this.

So she immediately avoided the bodyguards left behind by Li Tingxi, returned to her room, locked the doors and windows, and then dialed that number she knew by heart again.

The moment the call connected, her eyes turned venomous. "I want you to do whatever it takes to embarrass Su Youling at tomorrow's press conference! I not only want Strange Kingdom to go down, but I also want her to be ruined along with it!"

Upon receiving the affirmative reply, a determined glint appeared in Shen Xiyue's eyes, and she smirked triumphantly: "Su Youling, if you want to ruin me, you'd better see if you have the ability first!"

...

The new product launch was officially held at 2 PM on the second day.

Because it was pushed to second place on the trending topics list the day before, it directly topped the trending topics list today. As soon as the live broadcast started, the popularity of the live broadcast room broke through the 10 million mark in just five minutes.

This press conference not only invited various media outlets, but also the heads of the investors of this art exhibition, including Ding Muyan.

Before Su Youling even appeared, the haters in the live stream had already started spamming the chat and stirring up trouble.

"Strange Kingdom should just go bankrupt as soon as possible. Plagiarism is a lifelong stain. Do they think they can whitewash themselves by holding a press conference? Do they really think the general public is blind and brainless?"

"Rebecca should just go back to being her good-for-nothing socialite. Does she really think that running a crappy company that survives on plagiarism will allow her to maintain the persona of an independent and strong female CEO? And she calls herself an artist. These days, anyone can be called an artist just by throwing some money at it. It's hilarious."

"The plagiarism was exposed before, and then they gained a lot of attention by hyping up their relationship with the president of the Li Group. Is today's press conference just another attempt to confuse the public, divert attention, and create some hype? This kind of cliché is so outdated that even modern Mary Sue dramas don't use this kind of tactic anymore."

"..."

Su Youling, along with some of Rebecca's fans and true fans, couldn't help but defend her. However, their voices were weak and their few comments were quickly drowned out by the barrage of comments from trolls and paid commenters.

The live stream was incredibly fast-paced, and the reporters at the press conference were also getting restless.
