Mingyao ate a few bites of food casually and rushed to the company without stopping.

Apart from the receptionist, the rest of the company's colleagues were in complete chaos.

The most terrifying thing is that a lot of media and reporters have gathered outside the company. If it weren't for the bodyguards holding them back, they probably would have already rushed in.

Mingyao checked her phone again and discovered a message that was chilling upon closer inspection.

A hashtag related to a company from Country W surged to the top of the trending searches, and clicking on it led to an article.

The article presents seemingly reasonable arguments to prove that Haichang Branch is controlled by foreign capital, and that Pei Siyu is also closely involved with W country, and that the acquisition of Wang Group was to open back doors for foreign companies.

The news was met with a flood of comments.

Unlike the unified rhetoric of online trolls, more casual observers joined the fray, and public opinion reached its peak, implicating many technology companies.

Interestingly, the tech companies that have been exposed for having problems are all companies with disputes with Haichang.

Mingyao scoffed, "Wei Ning really has a big budget."

but……

Mingyao felt that this plagiarism controversy was different from the one in her previous life. Could it be due to the butterfly effect?

Soon, news of the sharp drop in the share price of Haichang branch also became a trending topic.

Mingyao was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Pei Siyu did spend money to suppress public opinion, but to no avail.

Many media outlets now have capital from W and M countries, making it extremely difficult to control them.

Fueled by the media, online public opinion reached its peak, with various claims about the demise of the oceans and the stagnation of technological development emerging one after another.

Mr. Wang quickly responded, proving that Pei Siyu was innocent.

However, his response received no attention and no one paid any attention to it.

Interestingly, the live stream featuring Xu's Group and Xu Sitian went viral the following morning.

The Xu Group stood up for Pei Siyu and the Haichang branch, and within just half an hour of the broadcast, it overwhelmingly suppressed other trending topics.

Xu Sitian tearfully explained in front of the camera how innocent Pei Siyu was, and also stated that the project was her own idea and there was no plagiarism.

Some people immediately jumped out and questioned whether Xu Sitian had been fired by the company.

Xu Sitian tearfully responded that she was dismissed because she made a mistake, and that Pei Siyu had no connection with the company.

Thanks to the efforts of the Xu Group and Xu Sitian, the public outcry against Pei Siyu and the Haichang branch company has eased somewhat.

People began praising the Xu Group and Xu Sitian, and in just one day, the Xu Group's shares rose by nearly 10 billion.

Meanwhile, Pei Siyu and his colleagues at the Haichang branch had been working all night at the company in an effort to suppress online public opinion and control the situation.

Knowing she couldn't help in any way, Mingyao helped her colleagues by serving them tea, water, and buying them meals.

When she saw the news in the morning, she laughed jokingly.

Wei Ning and the Xu Group have really put on a good show!

Mr. Wang's clarification, which originally didn't garner much attention, suddenly became a trending topic within half an hour, with passersby who had been cyberbullying and attacking the Haichang branch beginning to apologize.

Everything is both magical and real.
