"yes."

Jiang Dong arrived quickly, "Madam, you wanted to see me."

“I saw Meng Xinyi outside the kindergarten today. She came specifically to see me. I’m worried she might try to take advantage of Shiyi. Please increase the security around Shiyi.”

"Madam, if you are really worried, why don't you let the young master go home?"

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Not to mention China, looking at the entire capital, there are probably countless eyes eyeing Jing Ting. I don't want our normal lives to be affected by demons like Meng Xinyi, so we just need to be on guard."

"That's true. Even if we get rid of Meng Xinyi, there will be another one."

That's exactly the point.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will make all the arrangements."

Zhan Jingting quickly learned about Meng Xinyi's matter and said unhappily, "She actually dared to provoke you. It seems she's tired of living."

“Jingting, don’t be angry. Meng Xinyi is a public figure now. If we act rashly, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble. Since she is not important, just ignore her. This kind of person is like a mad dog. The more you pay attention to her, the more energetic she becomes.”

"I'll listen to you," Zhan Jingting said. "But since it's a mad dog, you'll have to be more careful in the future."

"Don't worry about it. This is a matter between women. Just focus on getting better."

"good."

......

The next morning, Qiao Wanwan was still asleep when she was woken up by a phone call.

She groggily picked up her phone and answered, "Who is this...?"

"Qiaoqiao, quickly check the trending topics!" Wen Lixuan's voice came through.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Wanwan asked. "Did it trend on social media early this morning?"

“It was you. Meng Xinyi was assaulted at her doorstep. Someone found out that she saw you yesterday and said that you had an argument with her and that you hired someone to beat her up in retaliation.”

Qiao Wanwan was completely bewildered. She clicked on the trending topics and found that Wen Lixuan had indeed said so!

Qiao Wanwan laughed in exasperation, "This person is quite interesting."

"What time is it, and you're still making jokes?"

"I am upright and have nothing to fear."

"That's true, but now the whole internet knows you're a film investor, and online opinions are saying you're targeting Meng Xinyi because she affected our film."

Qiao Wanwan yawned. "This kind of public opinion manipulation is obviously intentional on their part. Buying online trolls to control comments is the most common practice in the entertainment industry."

"Of course I know it's about controlling the comments, but the reason why people are willing to spend money to hire online trolls is because netizens who don't know the inside story are easily misled. This matter has been brewing overnight, and people have started to boycott our movie. Now there are people outside the film set holding banners, telling us to stop filming."

Qiao Wanwan slowly opened her eyes. "I'm sorry, Lixuan, I've dragged you into this."

"We're all in the same boat, so let's not talk like that. The most important thing right now is how to handle this."

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. It won't affect the filming schedule. You just focus on filming," Qiao Wanwan instructed. "Also, we're in the eye of the storm right now, so please protect Zaozao for me."

"Zaozao is my actress, I will protect her without you having to tell me."

"Um."

When Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and finished washing up and went downstairs, Zhan Jingting was already having breakfast with Shiyi.

Just as Zhan Jingting was about to speak, Qiao Wanwan interrupted him, "I know what you want to say. I've already said that I'll handle this myself. Your task is to focus on getting better."

Zhan Jingting: "......"

"I just want to say, sit down and have breakfast."

"Alright then." Qiao Wanwan sat down with a smile. "It seems Mr. Zhan is keeping his word and is not going to interfere in my affairs."

"When have I ever failed to keep a promise I made to you?"

"Um!"

After breakfast, Qiao Wanwan took Shiyi to school, and on the way back, she called Jiang Dong.

"Among those who were bribed by Meng Xinyi to attack me, find twenty or thirty ringleaders and send lawyer's letters in the name of my studio. This is not just a slogan, but a real lawsuit."

“Yes, Madam,” Jiang Dong asked. “However, these people are just insignificant thugs. The one we should really sue is Meng Xinyi. Should we send her a lawyer’s letter?”

"No need, I have other plans for her."

"I understand, I'll do it right away."

News of Qiao Wanwan sending lawyer's letters to dozens of people quickly spread, causing the matter to escalate even further.

However, netizens were not convinced, because sending lawyer's letters is a common practice for some celebrities, at most it is just a warning, and in the end it all comes to nothing.

After all, few people would spend so much energy and money to sue a stranger online. Even if they win the case, the compensation wouldn't be enough to pay for a lawyer, so it's all for nothing.

After the lawyer's letter was issued, the online public opinion did not improve; on the contrary, the criticism increased.

Netizens joined in the cursing and tried to expose Qiao Wanwan, but they couldn't find anything online.

Zhan Jingting protected Qiao Wanwan very well; searching her name only yielded results for the movie she had previously starred in, nothing else.

Jiang Dong felt a lot of pressure.

Zhan Jingting promised Qiao Wanwan that he wouldn't interfere in the matter, but he assigned it to Qiao Wanwan to handle.

If this isn't handled properly, he will definitely be severely punished!

Jiang Dong was anxious and went to Qiao Wanwan to ask, "Madam, things are getting more and more serious. Don't you really want me to do something?"

Qiao Wanwan was in the lab researching the antidote when she heard this. She smiled and said, "What do you want to do? Delete all the insults directed at me online? Of course I know you have that ability, but that won't solve the fundamental problem."

"Moreover, I want this matter to escalate, to become as big as possible. The bigger the matter, the more painful it will be for some people to be proven wrong."

Jiang Dong nodded. "It seems that Madam had planned this all along."

"Okay, go and rest. I'll call you if I need anything."

Qiao Wanwan received a phone call from an unknown number in the evening.

She swiped to answer the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

"Miss Qiao, is this all you've got?" Meng Xinyi's disdainful mocking voice rang out. "Looks like I overestimated you. How about this, you beg me, and I'll let you go, okay?"

Qiao Wanwan said calmly, "I dare not say that I will never ask anyone for help in my life, but you are not worthy."

"Qiao Wanwan, what are you so smug about?" Meng Xinyi laughed instead of getting angry. "As long as I don't back down, you're dead this time. Even if Zhan Jingting wants to help you, do you really think he can suppress public opinion? The more he helps you, the more intense the attacks from netizens will be!"

"Who told you I needed Jing Ting's help?" Qiao Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Do you really think an elephant would pay attention to the clamor and provocation of an ant? Meng Xinyi, the most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness. Why don't you understand that you are not worthy of Jing Ting's help?"

"What are you so smug about!" Meng Xinyi suddenly roared in anger. "Qiao Wanwan, I was originally thinking I could consider letting you go, but now it seems I won't! Even if you beg me now, it won't do you any good!"

"Did I say I was asking you for something?" Qiao Wanwan said with a smile, "Miss Meng, I have a gift for you..."
