"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a knock on the door.

Zhang Wenyu quickly took the documents in his hand and put them in the cabinet.

Outside the door was Director Xu from the program team, who came over to discuss publicity matters with Zhang Wenyu.

"Ms. Zhang, thank you so much for your help. We were able to continue filming smoothly today."

Zhang Wenyu invited the person in.

"I've already thanked you so many times, but you're not allowed to say thank you again."

Director Xu walked in with a smile on his face.

"Regarding what Miss Zhang mentioned earlier, I originally wanted to post a few promotional images of the castle and then write a message thanking Miss Zhang for her hospitality. This would dispel the rumors that you were pretending to be a rich second-generation kid. However, the news online has changed significantly today, and I'm afraid that posting the promotional images now will only put you in the spotlight. So, I came here to ask you what your plans are next so that we can cooperate."

After a day of fermentation, the news on the Internet has evolved from attacking Donut Classmates and others for pretending to be rich second-generations and establishing a celebrity persona, to criticizing Zhang Wenyu's family for being snobbish, unfilial to their elders, and illegally amassing wealth.

Even Zhang Wenyu's grandmother and uncle recorded a video crying about Zhang Wenyu's family not supporting the elderly, looking down on relatives like them after becoming rich, and allowing the younger generation to insult the elders.

Director Xu only had time to check the online news on his phone after finishing the show, and was very surprised to see these comments on the Internet.

It’s not that he easily believed what the people who claimed to be Miss Zhang’s grandmother and uncle said, but he didn’t expect that Miss Zhang would allow the other party to slander and abuse her, and completely fail to control the online comments.

As a person who makes a living by relying on online popularity, he needs to deal with the media and marketing accounts frequently. He can see through this kind of operation at a glance. Those rich and powerful people rarely let others scold them like this, let alone being maliciously slandered. Even if they really did these things, they would directly let people suppress the popularity.

Ms. Zhang doesn't look like someone who doesn't know how to deal with the situation. Why doesn't she just withdraw the attention like everyone else?

Director Xu didn't quite understand, and was worried that the other party had other plans. If he interfered with Miss Zhang's arrangements, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. So he quickly stopped the assistant who was about to send out the promotional pictures, and regardless of the late hour, he hurried over to inquire about the news.

Zhang Wenyu poured Director Xu a cup of tea.

"Director Xu, just follow your previous plan. I'll take care of the rest. Don't worry, it won't affect your show."

Director Xu was indeed afraid that this incident would affect the broadcast of his program.

Now the emotions of netizens who are unaware of the truth have been completely aroused. In their view, Zhang Wenyu's refusal to come out to explain has directly confirmed the rumors on the Internet.

He naturally believed that Miss Zhang wasn't the person the internet had spread about, but he was just a small-time variety show director who relied on netizens for his livelihood. Now that netizens were disgusted with Miss Zhang, he was rushing to get the production crew involved with her. Wasn't this clearly asking for trouble?!

If Ms. Zhang had not clarified immediately, her program might have been boycotted and taken off the air by angry netizens during this period.

So even though Zhang Wenyu told him to go ahead with all his plans, Director Xu was still a little worried. He looked at Zhang Wenyu hesitantly, wanting to ask when she was going to clarify.

Zhang Wenyu also understood Director Xu's concerns, so she told Director Xu about her plan, which gave Director Xu some peace of mind.

Director Xu went back happily with the news. He couldn't even wait to go back to his room. As soon as he went out, he sent a message to his assistant, asking him to send out the promotional picture.

Because of the time difference, it was still early morning in China when the promotional image was sent out, so not many people noticed it at first. But as time went by, more and more people discovered it, and finally at a certain moment, it completely exploded.

By the afternoon, the popularity of this matter reached its peak, attracting countless people to discuss it.

After breakfast, Zhang Wenyu took a walk in the garden.

Seeing the sun gradually rising, the assistant in charge of investigating the dark forces hurried over.

Zhang Wenyu calmly took the man back to the study.

"What did you find out?"

"Miss, after the heat was turned up last night, our colleagues in charge of the network made a major discovery."

The assistant's face was filled with unconcealable joy because the work that was originally difficult to advance had achieved a major breakthrough.

"Last night, someone leaked photos of your family, and they were widely circulated online. However, half an hour later, the photos suddenly disappeared, and the accounts that originally leaked the photos were also suddenly deactivated. We originally thought it was your friends who deleted the photos, but after asking around, we couldn't find out who it was. We felt something was amiss, so we followed up the investigation and found a foreign company."

"Foreign companies?"

Zhang Wenyu was a little surprised.

"Didn't you say it was a family from City B?"

The assistant obviously remembered this and continued.

"Yes, we also thought it was a bit strange, so we continued to investigate this company and found that it was related to a group in Country M, and the person behind this group was a family that used to live in City B. However, this family's domestic industry changed decades ago, and in order to seek new development, they moved their entire family to Country M."

After the assistant finished speaking, he placed another document on Zhang Wenyu's desk.

Yu family?

Which family is this?

Haven’t you heard of it before when you were in City B?

Zhang Wenyu opened the document, which was much thicker than before, and looked at it carefully. It recorded some information about the Yu family.

The Yu family was once a very famous family in City B. They had businesses all over the place, but their children were not promising. Fifty years ago, they encountered a sudden change and their business shrank greatly. After that, the old man of the family made a prompt decision and immigrated to Country M with his entire family.

What follows is some information about the Yu family’s efforts to develop in Country M.

Judging from the information collected, Mr. Yu successfully saved part of his property because of his timely action and decisive decision.

But judging from the current development of the Yu family, their life in Country M is not easy either.

The Yu family, which was once one of the best in the country, is now not even as strong as it was in the past.

Moreover, it has been on a downward trend in recent years. It is estimated that it will not be long before this once prosperous family will fall into decline.

Zhang Wenyu recalled her days in City B and always felt something was strange.

During that time, I learned about many family forces that I had not known before, especially several old families in City B. I took the opportunity to learn about them all.

There were even some relatively low-key and declining families. Grandma Sui and Old Zhang had also taken him to visit them, but he had never heard of the Yu family that he had discovered today.

Not only did Grandma Sui and Mr. Zhang not mention it, but even his good friend Sui Min didn't mention it.

If one person didn't mention it, it might be because he forgot. But if this group of people didn't mention it, it might be that there was something strange about the Yu family.

Although the Yu family, who had been hiding in the dark, was exposed through the cyberbullying incident, Zhang Wenyu felt that he had more questions.

I have never had any contact with the Yu family, so why are they always keeping an eye on me?

Moreover, the Yu family clearly harbored ill will towards him, so why did they ask his family to delete the photos? Wasn't that unnecessary?
