"No." Song Mai looked at them obediently.

The statement I just made was nothing more than my own wild speculation, and it has absolutely no basis.

Lin Ran looked speechless: "I thought you knew who did it."

"Why hasn't Shen Xiujing Studio stepped forward at this point?" Xie Wenwen, as an agent, is very sensitive to public relations.

She quickly noticed something was wrong and raised her own questions.

Song Mai frowned deeply, which was why she couldn't guess who was behind it all.

The current reaction from Shen Xiujing and his studio makes it difficult to rule out that it was intentional.

After all, the bigger the scandal, the deeper its impact on him.

"Could it be that they did this on purpose?" Su He subconsciously looked at Song Mai. "Maybe they want to push you out and make you take the brunt of all the blame. After this period, they only need to issue a statement to clear themselves of all suspicion."

This conjecture is baseless; without evidence, all such ideas are mere speculation.

If Shen Xiujing really pushes herself away, Song Mai will naturally not let it go.

But the most important thing right now is how to solve this problem; we can't let things get out of control.

Her studio is about to open, and this big incident at this crucial moment will affect her business.

No one would turn down money, and Song Mai was no exception.

"In my opinion, we might as well just ignore it. Since they've started to slack off, why should we take the lead?" Su He angrily put down her phone. "I used to think Shen Xiujing was a gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward."

Song Mai was both amused and exasperated, trying to calm everyone down: "Right now, it's a battle of wills to see who can hold their breath. As long as we can get through this period, the other side will naturally make their move."

"It will be very hard on you." The three of them couldn't bear to see Song Mai treated like a rat in the street.

Su He got up, gently pulled back the curtains and glanced out the window: "There are paparazzi and reporters everywhere outside, and countless flashes are pointed at your house."

"Of course, after all, Shenxiu Scenic Area attracts a lot of visitors."

Chu Yunxing came out of the conference room, looking at the overwhelming news reports, his brows furrowed.

He immediately called Shen Que.

"Resolve it immediately."

Unexpectedly, Shen Que did not take immediate action. Instead, he advised, "There's no need to rush this matter. Eliminating all the rumors now might temporarily resolve the issue, but Miss Bai will still be at the center of public opinion and her reputation will be damaged."

Chu Yunxing calmed down and admitted that she was right.

Forcibly suppressing the development of public opinion can indeed reduce the spread of rumors, but behind the scenes, all sorts of discussions will inevitably arise.

"Have the PR team come up with a solution immediately and give me two proposals before the end of the workday."

Chu Yunxing strode back to his studio, his mind completely elsewhere from work.

He was so anxious that he wanted to go find Song Mai immediately, but his reason kept reminding him not to act impulsively.

As time went on, he became increasingly conflicted.

He took the initiative to call Shen Xiujing's studio. The studio was initially unreachable, but no one dared to directly refuse Chu Yunxing's call.

Hearing the tired voice on the other end of the phone, Chu Yunxing said in a low voice, "The matter between Shen Xiujing and Bai Wan'er has become such a big fuss, doesn't your studio have any intention of dealing with it?"

"Let's let the bullets fly for a while," the studio manager sighed helplessly. "It's not like we haven't tried."

The studio contacted several media outlets, hoping they could help clarify the situation.

However, the opposing sides all adopted the same stance and rejected the studio's request.

Shen Xiujing is now quite puzzled, wondering who they have offended.

Just like Song Mai, they subconsciously thought that Song Mai had pushed them in front of everyone.

A rift gradually developed between the two sides, to the point that neither wanted to resolve the matter together.

Chu Yunxing realized the seriousness of the situation and said in a low voice, "I understand."

He immediately dialed Song Mai's number, and after a long while, he heard her soft voice reply from the other end of the line: "What's wrong?"

"I've seen the messages online. How are you doing now?"

She thought that Ji Fenghe would be the first to care about her, but unexpectedly it was Chu Yunxing's voice.

Song Mai replied softly, "It's nothing."

“I just called Shen Xiujing’s studio, and they thought you were unwilling to handle it. I suppose you now suspect that he is the one who pushed you into the public eye.”

Having to admit that Chu Yunxing was right, Song Mai chuckled and replied, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you could read minds."

"There's no better way right now; we can only wait for public opinion to develop. I can only help you deal with that photo. As for you and Shen Xiujing, you'll need to come up with a solution together."

Chu Yunxing spoke gently, guiding her to the next step.

Song Mai listened without saying a word, and after he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.

Chu Yunxing asked curiously again, "What's wrong?"

Song Mai gently shook her head: "I just didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."

Actually, this wasn't what she originally wanted to say. She wanted to ask Chu Yunxing if this scene had ever happened before.

The scene was so familiar that I quickly realized that the same thing had happened before in my life.

Chu Yunxing's breathing became heavy, and after a moment he replied, "It's alright. After all, you are now a designer at Yunxing Group, and we can't afford any problems."

Chu Yunxing's answer was also very serious, and Song Mai did not continue to speak, but simply agreed.

The moment he hung up the phone and turned around, three people behind him were staring at him.

Song Mai jumped in surprise and immediately asked, "When did you arrive?"

"So that's why I haven't seen you for so long. You've been secretly making phone calls here. Is your young master Ji worried about you?" Xie Wenwen asked with a smile.

Song Mai shook her head: "No."

Lin Ran immediately straightened her back: "I know, it must be our Master Yun who's worried."

Xie Wenwen pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "I think you're right."

Su He's eyes widened: "Aren't you on Ji Feng's side?"

Xie Wenwen shrugged indifferently: "Of course not, I never really liked this kid from the beginning."

After a few moments of playful banter, the company of her friends and the comfort from Chu Yunxing gradually calmed Song Mai down.

She took the initiative to call Shen Xiujing, and heard a somewhat restrained voice on the other end of the phone: "Designer Bai."

Song Mai showed no anger and said with a smile, "Master Yun has already told me that we both have the same idea."

After a moment of silence, the other person asked, "You think I did this?"
