"What are you guys thinking? How come I'm trending on social media?" Han Mingyi was throwing a tantrum in the work group.
She was originally looking at Jian Ruoxi's dirt, secretly pleased that more and more people were getting involved.
In the blink of an eye, she saw that her entry had also been uploaded.
"Mingyi, this trending topic came out of nowhere, and we're already handling the public relations crisis urgently."
The incident happened so suddenly that they hadn't expected it.
Logically speaking, the matter between Mingyi and that boss is an old topic, so how could it be brought up again and spark public discussion?
This is something they just can't figure out.
"Get this done as soon as possible; everyone is holding me back."
With only so many netizens, once her entry was published, some of the discussion on Jian Ruoxi's end naturally went to her.
Could it be that Huarui is behind this?
If it really comes down to a competition of the strength of the companies behind them, she doesn't think she can beat Jian Ruoxi.
It seems I need to try a different approach.
"Hello, is this Jian Mengyu? It's me, Han Mingyi."
She was somewhat wary of Han Mingyi contacting her again.
"What do you want from me this time?"
"Don't be nervous. I'm giving you a chance this time. Do you want to become a star like Jian Ruoxi and be admired by everyone?"
There was a desire to stand out in Jian Mengyu's eyes, something she noticed the first time she saw Jian Mengyu.
She believed that Jian Mengyu would be tempted by such a generous offer.
"Can you do it?"
She was indeed envious and jealous of Jian Ruoxi's current life.
Why is Jian Ruoxi so lucky to be signed by a big company and loved by so many people?
She was clearly better off than Jian Ruoxi.
Seeing that Jian Mengyu had indeed taken the bait, Han Mingyi's lips curled up. "Of course, before that, I only need you to do one thing for me."
"If you succeed, you will be able to sign a contract with my company smoothly."
Jian Mengyu didn't ask any questions about what Han Mingyi wanted her to do, and immediately agreed.
"Okay! We'll do it your way."
Han Mingyi was very satisfied with the result. "Get ready, I will arrange for a reporter to interview you later."
"I think with your intelligence and wit, you will surely understand what I mean."
Jian Ruoxi, do you think I'm helpless just because you're using Hua Rui to attack me?
I can't afford to be distracted by dealing with you, but I can still deal with Jian Mengyu.
Inside the room, Jian Ruoxi watched as her trending topic ranking gradually declined, feeling somewhat relieved, and began to draft the text for her upcoming statement.
At the time, she simply took on the task without any real idea of how to begin writing.
Just when she was at her wit's end, she suddenly received a message from Xue'er.
"Sister Ruoxi, look at the link I shared with you. A reporter went to your house to interview your sister."
"I watched the video, and many of the things said in it were detrimental to you."
Jian Mengyu? She got involved too?
It was obvious without much thought that Jian Mengyu would never stand on her side or speak up for her.
She clicked on the video as instructed, and the first thing she saw was Jian Mengyu's deliberately feigned look of fear and panic.
With Jian Mengyu's acting skills, all her weaknesses are exposed once she's on screen.
The host was clearly well-prepared, as all the questions he asked were about the recent online discussion surrounding Jian Ruoxi's support for her parents.
"As far as I know, Jian Ruoxi hasn't been living with you for a long time."
Jian Mengyu nodded weakly, "Yes, my sister went out to make her way in the world a long time ago."
"After she became famous, she never contacted you again?"
Jian Ruoxi clicked her tongue and shook her head. This question was clearly aimed at her.
Was this host also found by Han Mingyi?
The questions asked were anything but objective; the motive to frame someone was practically written all over his face, and he didn't even know how to restrain himself.
"After that, we never heard from my sister again, and we had no idea what she was doing."
Jian Mengyu acted like a delicate flower in an urban village, making her seem endearing and lovable.
"Last time, when you went to Jian Ruoxi's house to look for her, why did you come out carrying things in the end?"
The reporter asked the same question that netizens were most concerned about; they also wanted to know what exactly happened that day.
“We, we think the house in my sister’s house is too nice, we don’t deserve to live there.”
"We came out voluntarily, not because my sister forced us out. Please don't misunderstand my sister."
Jian Mengyu uses the same trick every time. Doesn't she get tired of it?
Although it's been used to death, it's really effective in this situation.
It must be said that her deliberate emphasis on this point is precisely what makes it easy for people to make certain assumptions.
It makes people feel that she is being threatened by them, and that they must make excuses for her.
Judging that Jian Ruoxi had already finished watching the video, Xue'er quickly asked.
"Sister Ruoxi, more people will see this interview later, you must think of a way to help us."
She didn't want to see Ruoxi being hurt by such disgusting people.
"What else can we do? The video has already been leaked, and it will be difficult to intercept it."
Moreover, she has been a hot topic these past two days, and her every move has attracted a lot of attention.
Whenever something is related to her, people can't help but take a look.
"But thank you for informing me of this in time."
Before the video became widely known, Xue'er had already given her a heads-up, which bought her and Ran Jie some time.
"I only regret that I didn't discover it earlier and intercept it at the source."
She may not be very powerful on her own, but she has the Yi family behind her.
"Xue'er, you've done very well."
Han Mingyi tried everything she could to extricate her from this matter.
How could she let them easily detect her next move?
She really hadn't expected to use Jian Mengyu.
"Sister Ruoxi, what are you planning to do next?"
These past two days, she's been terrified just reading the online discussions about Sister Ruoxi.
Those people used harsh words, made threats and intimidation, and some even said they wished they could teach her a lesson on behalf of the Jian family.
"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when books come, earth will dam them. There will always be a way."
"Public opinion is only temporary; justice resides in the hearts of the people."
But Xue'er wasn't as optimistic as she thought.
When people on the internet become radical, it can easily escalate to personal attacks.
She had heard of such things before in the entertainment industry.
"Sister Ruoxi, why don't you stay home for the next few days? I'll send some bodyguards over for you."
"It's also to protect your safety."
"No need," Jian Ruoxi declined Yi Xueer's offer. "My neighborhood is very safe, and I don't usually go out when I'm not working."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
