The online comments shifted from criticizing the incident to criticizing Lu Zheng as a person, changing incredibly quickly.

"What's wrong with that woman? Why is she acting like a coward now?"

"A statement has already been issued, go check it out!"

Shortly after Lu Zheng issued his statement, Qiao Zhen followed suit with hers.

Her statement was simple; she merely forwarded Lu Zheng's statement demanding an apology.

“Ms. Song, besides us, the store manager and of course, there was another witness who cannot be bribed: the ‘surveillance footage’.”

When people saw the statement that Qiao Zhen forwarded, they were all confused. What exactly happened?

Whose advice should we listen to?

When Song Xiaoyun saw Qiao Zhen's repost and comment, she panicked.

She hurriedly made a phone call.

"What should we do? It looks like they're going to check the security footage!"

After not knowing what was said on the other end, Song Xiaoyun gradually calmed down.

Yes, the surveillance cameras have been destroyed, so even if they wanted to take them back, it wouldn't be of any use.

Thinking of this, Song Xiaoyun felt relieved and her face lit up with joy.

Hmph, you think you can fire me? If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm not Song Xiaoyun!

"Okay, I understand, I won't say anything more."

Song Xiaoyun rolled her eyes as she listened to what was being said.

With such a great opportunity, how could she possibly do nothing?

After hanging up the phone, she quickly typed a message on her phone and sent it.

"I know I have no influence and no powerful connections, but this kind of thing will happen again if it happens once, and I don't want others to suffer what I've gone through!"

Song Xiaoyun's righteous and indignant words, written under the guise of doing what's best for everyone, stirred up another storm online as soon as they were posted.

Netizens criticized them one after another. Originally, the battle was between the two of them, but Song Xiaoyun's statement directly shifted the focus of the battle to Lu Zheng.

The person who spoke to Song Xiaoyun was furious.

She wanted to focus the conflict on Qiao Zhen, but this idiot actually took it upon himself to make such a fuss!

Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh when she saw Song Xiaoyun's comment.

There's still no news from Lu Zheng, so it's likely that the surveillance footage has been tampered with.

That's why Song Xiaoyun is so fearless, but she probably doesn't know that even if the surveillance cameras are destroyed, they can still be repaired.

By the afternoon, when the heat began to subside, the assistant had also received the repaired surveillance footage.

As soon as Lu Zheng got the surveillance footage, he sent it to Qiao Zhen.

Looking at Lu Zheng's tolerant face in the surveillance footage, and at himself watching the show.

"You seem to enjoy seeing me being disliked?"

After sending it, Lu Zheng realized he had used the wrong words; Qiao Zhen's expression clearly showed she wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

"No, I was just thinking that the sales clerk was really bold, daring to even scold President Lu. I just found it funny."

Although she was genuinely watching the show, Lu Zheng absolutely couldn't know about it!

Lu Zheng naturally did not believe Qiao Zhen's explanation.

Looking at the message Qiao Zhen sent him, he wished he could fly to her side right now.

He called his assistant and told him to send it directly.

The moment the video was posted, netizens felt worse than if they had swallowed a fly.

But seeing Lu Zheng's frustrated face, it didn't seem so bad anymore.

"Jiu Min, what kind of good person would buy out another company just to fire an employee?!"

"Now it seems that President Lu is not a bad person at all. He is clearly a very kind person. He didn't make things difficult for the person and forced them to resign. He even dismissed them and gave them compensation!"

"It's kind of funny. What CEO goes out to buy clothes and gets criticized for being poor? I don't think the clothes they're dressed that badly."

"!!! Am I the only one who noticed that Qiao Zhen, who was with President Lu, was dressed very casually?!"

"Don't be ridiculous, what kept woman dresses so plainly!"

"Those who spread false rumors, get the hell out of here!"

Seeing the overwhelmingly negative comments online, Qiao Zhen put down her phone.

In just one day, a complete reversal occurred.

Yes, who would have thought that a mere sales clerk would dare to speak sarcastically to Lu Zheng?

However, thinking about Lu Zheng's appearance, she still found it quite funny.

This must be the first time he's ever encountered something like this in his life.

As she was thinking, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Yan Simiao calling.

Without even thinking, everyone knows they're here to gossip about Lu Zheng.

"No, Qiao Zhen, aren't we best friends anymore? This is so funny, and you didn't even share it with me!"

The thought of Lu Zheng getting his comeuppance made her feel incredibly satisfied!

"I just forgot." The reason she forgot was because Lu Zheng had kept her up all night, and she didn't wake up until the next day.

"If you don't believe me, you have to make it up to me and treat me to something delicious!"

"Then you can arrange a time." Thinking that it had been a long time since she had eaten with Yan Simiao, Qiao Zhen agreed without hesitation.

Yan Simiao complained to Qiao Zhen for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Just as Qiao Zhen put down her phone, she saw Lu Zheng push the door open and come in.

"Why did you come here?" Upon hearing her words, Lu Zheng's face darkened instantly.

"Can't I come?"

"No, it's just that I thought you'd be very busy." Lu Zheng glanced at her, clearly not believing her explanation.

He sat on the edge of the bed, picked up an apple, and started peeling it. Qiao Zhen saw this and didn't say anything.

What exactly happened yesterday?

The more Qiao Zhen thought about it, the more she felt that something had happened yesterday that she had overlooked.

The truth is definitely not as simple as Lu Zheng said.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, he just focused on peeling the skin.
