After being the pampered young lady of the Lu family for seventeen years, she discovered she was actually a fake heiress. Meng Anran decisively cut ties with the Lu family and returned to the finan...
Chapter 310: A Heartless Person
Su Qinglie's interview video went viral on the Internet, with major media outlets vying to report on it, and Ruiming Group's stock price began to fluctuate.
Although the public relations team suppressed the trending searches and sent lawyers' letters, and Mingjing also used Jiayan Entertainment to control public opinion, the effect was not significant.
Only Ruiming Group was affected, but Meng Anran was not the only one who was being asked for answers because of this matter.
Meng Yushu just came out of the set. Besides his fans, there were also many media outlets waiting here for a long time, hoping to bring up some new hot topics indirectly.
"Teacher Meng, what do you think about the rumors and comments about your sister Meng Anran on the Internet?"
"Mr. Meng, do you usually spend much time with your sister? How much do you know about her private life?"
"Teacher Meng, there are rumors that she forced her cousin to engage in illicit business. Are you aware of this?"
"Teacher Meng..."
The bodyguards stopped the boiling crowd, and Meng Yushu stood in the safe circle, still calmly maintaining a polite yet distant smile.
Her clear voice was like flowing water from a mountain stream, bringing a spring breeze to one's heart, yet with a hint of chill: "Thank you all for your concern for my sister. My sister has been dedicated to chip research and development over the years. In five years, she has grown Ruiming from a small company into a large enterprise, and she has done it all bit by bit. If possible, I hope she can take a vacation once in a while and relax and rest."
What this means is that she is so busy every day that she doesn't even have time to sleep, so how can she have the time to go out and spend money in a nightclub?
If Ruiming really knew how to enjoy life, how could it have become one of the three largest companies in Beijing in just a few years?
Fans were also very angry about the reporter's questions. They all knew how much Meng Yushu loved her sister, and she must be upset about this news.
Being able to say these words calmly is already very respectful. If you dare to spread rumors again, they will not give up until they win or lose!
Several reporters rushed forward, trying to get more explosive information. Meng Yushu simply ignored them. When she turned to look at her fans, her eyes suddenly became gentle. "It's cold. I asked my assistant to buy you some hot milk tea. Go home early and don't wait here next time. If you want to see me, I'll have a meet-and-greet soon. I'll let you know the address and time on Weibo."
The fans were instantly excited. The host treated them to milk tea! What an honor!
"Okay! Brother, you should also take care of yourself and wear more clothes!"
"Get some rest!"
Meng Yushu responded and waved goodbye. When the reporter wanted to ask more questions, fans swarmed over and stopped him.
Meng Yushu got into the nanny car smoothly. The moment the door closed, he took out his phone and contacted his most influential fan: "Please tell the 'bookmarkers' that there's no need to argue with others online about my sister's matter, and there's no need to get angry. Just treat it as a joke."
The fangirl quickly replied: [But now the situation is getting more and more serious, and it's really affecting your sister's reputation.]
[Meng Yushu]: It's okay, she can handle it. If she attacks others online, it will only make her a target of criticism.
The fan replied: [I understand. I will post an announcement in several large groups.]
At the same time, Meng Anran sat in the office, tapping the desk lightly with her fingertips, her eyes calmly scanning the negative news that kept refreshing on the computer screen.
"Director An, the current situation is very unfavorable to us." Mu Yuqin sat across from her, her back straight and her expression stern, as if handling the matter in a businesslike manner. "The PR team is losing control of the situation. We don't know when the Economic Investigation Detachment's investigation will be concluded. The group's stock price can't withstand the impact."
"No rush." Meng Anran smiled calmly, "There's a term called 'bottoming out'. All we have to do now is wait."
Mu Yuqin couldn't help but look at her with admiration at her calmness in the face of danger. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you waiting for the results of the economic investigation? Are you sure there will be good news before the press conference?"
Meng Anran shook her head and said, "I'm not waiting for the Economic Investigation Bureau. I'm waiting for someone."
A new trending search popped up in the lower right corner of the computer, titled "Mrs. Meng angrily scolded her nephew: A heartless and treacherous thing!"
Meng Anran narrowed her eyes and clicked on it. It was a video, and the protagonist was her mother Su Wanman.
Su Wanman, who was usually gentle and elegant, was so angry that her face turned blue. She shouted at the camera, "The internet is so developed now. Anyone can come and tell you what to do! Who in the industry doesn't know how much effort An Ran has put into Rui Ming over the years? She's so busy that she rarely even goes home. How could you make up such a ridiculous rumor!"
"Su Qinglie! Tell me honestly, I've been very good to you since you were little, haven't I? Before the Meng family went bankrupt, I bought you new clothes and shoes every year. I even paid for your tuition when your parents were struggling financially."
She sneered and continued, "Your family is so good! When you got married, An Ran just came back to our house. Not only did you not congratulate me when you saw me, but you also complained that the gift money was too little. Not only did you set your eyes on An Ran's private property, but you even dared to discuss her marriage?
"Why should I let my daughter see you, a money-hungry snob?"
As soon as this video was released, it immediately caused an uproar.
[Fuck! Madam Meng paid for Su Qinglie's education, but he turned against her and bit her. Isn't he an ungrateful person?]
[So Su Qinglie was bribed? Who is behind Meng Anran?]
[Don't jump to conclusions yet. Madam Meng hasn't denied that Meng Anran forced Su Qinglie into prostitution. She's avoiding talking about it, so maybe there's something behind it!]
Not only did Su Wanman's video become a hot topic, but Meng Yushu also followed suit with a Weibo post: [Standing by and waiting for good news.]
It was only four short words, but with his huge fan base and social influence, he successfully reversed the dark speculations of many nosy netizens.
Public opinion began to change subtly. Although there were still voices of doubt, those who had followed the trend to scold Meng Anran had regained some rationality and began to doubt Su Qinglie's motives.
Meng Anran looked at the changes in public opinion on the computer screen, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
During the time when I couldn't see my family, their care was everywhere.
She stretched herself lazily, turned off the computer, and pushed the keyboard forward.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I have to meet someone."
Mu Yuqin was puzzled. How important could the person be who she had to meet at this critical moment? "Who?"
Meng Anran picked up her bag and stood up, smiling brightly: "Of course it's my cousin who I've never met but likes to throw dirty water on me."
