129: Good intentions leading to bad consequences are the most terrifying
Xu Yao's head was buzzing.
Xiaoling was already being very tactful.
In order to attract traffic, marketing accounts will not be so gentle in their words. They all say that Xu Yao might be "the big brother's woman."
As for who the "big brother" is, the marketing accounts haven't been clear about it. Most of them hinted that Xu Yao might be kept by a wealthy sponsor. Some more unconventional accounts said that Xu Yao stole her best friend Tangtang's boyfriend. With the protection of Jiang Zhiyan, the boss of Huahu, she could naturally borrow new dresses from big brands, wear jewelry designed by masters, and win awards.
The marketing account made a very clear analysis, even seeming to have witnessed how Xu Yao and Jiang Zhiyan hooked up. To sum it up, when Tangtang and Jiang Zhiyan had a conflict, Xu Yao took advantage of the situation and their affair was discovered by Tangtang, so Tangtang would rather be a single mother than accept Jiang Zhiyan's proposal!
"It's quite logical. If I weren't the person involved, I might have believed it."
Xu Yao's blood surged.
Xiaoling's eyes were red with anger: "These marketing accounts are really good at writing nonsense. They even make things that don't exist seem so real!"
Xu Yao was originally very angry, but when she saw Xiaoling's eyes filled with tears, Xu Yao's anger gradually subsided.
Xu Yao had already prepared herself mentally before becoming an internet celebrity.
This industry makes more money faster than other professions, so naturally there will be some negative effects. It is very common to be criticized. If these marketing accounts do not mention Xu Yao after participating in the talent celebration, that would be the worst.
And if you think about it calmly, Gu Jun and Tangtang must have seen these messy marketing accounts a long time ago.
Gu Jun didn't mention a single word in the message he sent her. He just spoke to Tangtang, and Tangtang only showed concern for her without questioning her.
Gu Jun believed her.
Tangtang also believed her.
Then what is there for Xu Yao to be angry about!
Hua Bin analyzed, "Logically, you shouldn't be the target of marketing accounts. I suspect someone is taking advantage of the situation to target you."
Did Xu Yao, who won the "Newcomer of the Year" award, block others' paths? Or did Xu Yao's petty ex-fiancé try to hype up Tangtang by dragging Xu Yao down with him?
Hua Bin told Xu Yao his analysis, and Xu Yao nodded: "Everything you said is possible."
"So what should we do now? Should we let it go and try to cash in on the traffic, or should we quickly issue a clarification to stop the rumors from spreading? If we do issue a clarification, it would be best to ask Tangtang for her cooperation. If she's willing to forward it, it's better than anything else."
Hua Bin got used to the new job very quickly. After only a few days on the job, he was already able to help Xu Yao with crisis public relations.
Didn’t the marketing account say that Xu Yao stole Tangtang’s man?
Tangtang is willing to help Xu Yao forward and clarify the content, and the vicious rumors will naturally be refuted!
Xu Yao thought about it carefully and rejected Hua Bin's suggestion: "Asking Tangtang for help is just to clarify that there is nothing wrong between Jiang Zhiyan and me. The other marketing accounts saying that I am being kept by a sponsor cannot be clarified. Tangtang is already in trouble now, and I really don't want to cause her more trouble."
Originally, only a few marketing accounts wrote like this. If Xu Yao had seriously clarified the matter and even dragged Tangtang into the witness box, the other marketing accounts would have laughed themselves crazy and would have immediately seized on this "rich family love triangle" theme and made a big splash!
Xu Yao didn't want to choose such a method that only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
Amid the worried looks of Hua Bin and Xiao Ling, Xu Yao calmly dialed Gu Jun's number.
"Are you free at noon? I'll come to your company and have lunch with you. You've seen all those messy marketing accounts online, right? I do have a plan to deal with them, but I need to discuss it with you... Well, let's talk about it in person!"
Xu Yao hung up the phone and shook it. "Why are you looking at me? I don't have a financial sponsor, but I do have a husband."
…
Xu Yao has already thought of a way to deal with the rumors.
In the office building of Shengshi Media, Tangtang was in Shen Yan's office with a sullen face:
"Miss Wen, you really hurt me so much!"
Chen Yan also found it outrageous.
If you can’t borrow a dress, then you can’t borrow it.
Wen Yiyi didn't say a word when she encountered trouble borrowing a dress. Her solution was to buy a dress herself and lie that she borrowed it. She bought it, but then she didn't tell anyone about it. She knew that Li Lanyi's sudden appearance on the red carpet would be compared to Tangtang by netizens, and that Chen Yan was contacting online influencers to create hype, but Wen Yiyi remained silent.
If Wen Yiyi had just said so, how could Tangtang's team have issued a press release saying that the dress was borrowed from the brand?!
This is embarrassing.
Netizens all think that Tangtang is just trying to be rich.
If we analyze it more deeply, Tangtang said that the dress she bought was loaned by the brand because she didn't want to be outdone by Jiang Zhiyan's ex-girlfriend Li Lanyi.
——You are about to become a single mother and a career woman who is independent both mentally and financially. Why do you still care about what dress Jiang Zhiyan’s ex-girlfriend wears?
Some people say that Tangtang is independent in words, but at her core she still wants to rely on men, so she wants to compete with Li Lanyi.
Tangtang had originally attracted a lot of female fans with her new persona, but with this incident, her new persona is in jeopardy.
In fact, internet celebrities are least afraid of scandals. The collapse of their image is much scarier than having a scandal. Tangtang’s account is losing followers at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Wen Yiyi never thought that just buying a dress would cause such a big trouble.
Wen Yiyi still feels aggrieved.
She bought that dress with her own money, not the company's money at all.
Besides, it wasn't her who invited Li Lanyi to walk the red carpet at the Talent Celebration, so she didn't have the ability to predict the future!
Having marketing accounts compare Tangtang and Li Lanyi was clearly Shen Yan's decision, and Shen Yan personally contacted the "troll army." Now that the hype has backfired, why is she being blamed?!
Wen Yiyi had a lot of grievances but nowhere to complain. After hearing Tangtang's accusations, Wen Yiyi couldn't help but say, "I don't want to hurt you. Is it wrong for me to spend my own money to buy you a dress? I mean well!"
Tangtang sneered, "Isn't it the most terrifying thing when good intentions lead to bad consequences? Miss Wen, if you couldn't borrow a dress, you could have just told me honestly instead of taking it upon yourself to buy me one. I'll assume you were kind enough to buy the dress, but why didn't you stop me when my team was publishing the press release?"
Wen Yiyi was speechless.
Why not confess?
At first, I was afraid of being looked down upon by Tangtang and losing face.
Later, because of guilt, cowardice and a sense of luck, he did not dare to stand up and take responsibility!
Wen Yiyi stiffened her neck and refused to admit her mistake. "Now that things have come to this, it's useless for you to scold me. I'll pay for your PR, okay?"
"you--"
Tangtang was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but Chen Yan advised Tangtang to take care of her health.
"Yiyi was wrong in this matter. Don't worry, the company will help you deal with it at all costs! Tangtang, believe me, you are the company's most valuable contracted anchor. Harming your interests is harming the interests of the company."
It took Chen Yan a lot of words to coax Tangtang into calming down temporarily.
When only Chen Yan and Wen Yiyi were left in the office, Wen Yiyi blushed and apologized: "I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't expect it to be like this..."
Chen Yan was very tired.
Beating Wen Yiyi at this time would not solve the problem.
This is Wen Yiyi's fault, and even more so Chen Yan's fault.
He actually felt that Wen Yiyi could really help with something.
At most, Wen Yiyi can be a clerk in the company. No, no, no, being a clerk is likely to make mistakes. The most suitable position for Wen Yiyi is to be a "mascot" who doesn't have to do anything!
"There is still a way to rescue Tangtang from suspicion, and that is to portray her as a victim."
Chen Yan muttered to himself. Wen Yiyi looked at his expression with some fear: "How to package it?"
Chen Yan said nothing.
His phone page stopped at a video screenshot, which said that Xu Yao took advantage of the opportunity and snatched Jiang Zhiyan from Tangtang.
