Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Gu Group. Top floor office. Gu Chengyu was listening to reports from several department heads, his expression stern. A gentle knock came at the office door, and Assistant Zhao entered, carrying a tablet computer, his face even more serious than usual. He waited quietly until Gu Chengyu gestured for the reports to pause. "Young Master," Assistant Zhao stepped forward, his voice low. "The official announcement for 'The Chaos of War' has been made, and Miss Su's name and role have sparked considerable discussion." Gu Chengyu raised a slight eyebrow, signaling him to continue. Assistant Zhao placed the tablet in front of Gu Chengyu; it displayed a variety of chaotic comments: 【A newcomer playing Lin Wan? She must have powerful connections!】 【Warning: A mere pretty face! Waiting for her acting to backfire!】 【Get out of here, you resource-backed actress! I feel sorry for the veteran actors!】 【Heh heh, good looks are all it takes to play Lin Wan? She probably slept her way in, right?】 【Slept her? I think so! Otherwise, why would she?】 "So it's easy to climb into the beds of those old men at the Gu Group? Ugh! So despicable." Gu Chengyu looked at these insulting comments, his violent anger rising to his head. His little girl, as pure as a blank sheet of paper, was someone he cherished dearly, someone he held in his heart for fear of dropping, someone he held in his mouth for fear of melting. How did she become a plaything for malicious speculation in the mouths of these keyboard warriors? Assistant Zhao sensed the low pressure emanating from his boss and immediately added: "We have already monitored these accounts making personal attacks, and have locked their IPs and some of their real-name information." "Should we immediately ban all comments and accounts?" Gu Chengyu pursed his thin lips, his chest heaving, forcibly suppressing the urge to teach these people a lesson. "Ban them?" His voice was low and sarcastic. "If you really ban them all, they'll just feel like they've been silenced, and they'll be even more emboldened." "Let them argue about these 'pretty faces' and 'resource-backed celebrities' nonsense. The fiercer they argue, the higher the hype will be later." Gu Chengyu tapped the screen for the most offensive comments, his voice turning colder. "But these rumors, defamation, and personal attacks have spread widely and are already suspected of being illegal." "Send all similar comments to the legal department and send them lawyer's letters." "Yes!" Assistant Zhao immediately agreed. Gu Chengyu paused, then added, "Have the legal department file a report simultaneously with those IPs that show up in S City, suing them for defamation." "Personally arrange for someone to follow them, and when the police invite them to the station for 'tea,' film the whole thing." "Film it clearly, let them see their faces, and let them know the consequences of talking nonsense." Assistant Zhao understood immediately: "Understood, I'll get on it right away." While Gu Chengyu was cleaning up Su Qianqian's online presence... She was changing back into her casual clothes, her long hair simply tied in a low ponytail, looking neat and tidy. As she packed her thermos and script into her bag, she said softly, "Sister Fang Qing, could you please go to the costume room and find that tailor from the high-end custom-made studio?" "The two costumes I ordered separately from him should be ready." "One is the plain white cheongsam Lin Wan will wear later, and the other is the black brocade robe for the monarch. Please take them to the car for me." "Okay, Qianqian, I'll go right away." Fang Qing readily agreed and turned to walk quickly towards the costume room. Su Qianqian packed her belongings, thought for a moment, then picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and found Director Li Mo. She carefully considered her words and sent a message: 【Director Li, sorry to bother you.】 【If it's convenient, could you please send me an electronic copy of the character biography for the monarch? I'd like to rehearse the scenes beforehand.】 The message was replied to almost instantly. Li Mo was clearly still excited about the official announcement and pleased to see the actors so dedicated. No problem, I'll send it to you right away.
