The group split into two groups: Yan Nian and Meng Wan headed to the old age area, while Cui Qingling and the other two went to the exhibition hall.
Despite the noise and commotion of the outside world, the group remained unaffected and continued to do what they were supposed to do.
Yan Nian took Meng Wan to the park. A large number of reporters surrounded the parking area, but they couldn't get in because they didn't have a pass. When they saw the car arrive, the reporters rushed over like they didn't care about their lives. Fortunately, the car had privacy film installed, so they couldn't see what was going on inside.
Seeing this, the security guards quickly stepped forward to disperse the crowd and make room for the two of them.
Yan Nian didn't rush to get off the bus, but instead took out a mask and put it on her.
Meng Wan remained silent, her bright, clear eyes fixed on Yan Nian with a smile.
"Let's go." Through her mask, Yan Nian kissed her lips before putting the hat he had left in the car on her lips.
Meng Wan nodded, and the two of them, wearing masks, got out of the car together.
Upon seeing this, the reporter immediately pushed past the security guards and squeezed forward, flashing his camera at the two of them. The intense sense of pressure made them frown.
"Did you two come to the company to deal with this scandal?"
"Is it true that you lived and ate with He Tong when you were a minor?"
"There are rumors circulating that you are keeping He Tong as your mistress and are two-timing her. What is your opinion on this?"
What are your thoughts on the rumors between your fiancée Meng Wan and top celebrity He Tong?
Questions came one after another, and the microphone was practically shoved in their faces. The two held hands tightly and entered the elevator with security clearing the way.
I swiped my card, and the elevator doors opened quickly.
The two quickly went inside and only escaped the noise after the elevator doors closed completely.
It's not that the two didn't respond, but that they knew these reporters didn't care about the so-called truth. You say one thing, and they can edit out ten different versions. When the truth and falsehood are mixed together, that's the hardest thing to tell!
Once upstairs, Bai Liling was already waiting at the elevator.
"The public relations and publicity departments are already waiting in the conference room."
Meng Wan nodded and took off her hat and mask. Her long hair fell down, her head still fluffy. Without makeup, you couldn't tell she had been up for several nights.
She was dressed in comfortable casual clothes, but her presence was in no way inferior to that of the well-dressed office workers.
"President Meng, President Yan." Everyone stood up when they saw her come in.
Meng Wan gestured for everyone to sit down, and she and Yan Nian took the seats at the head of the table.
"Tell me about the current political climate." Without much pleasantry, Meng Wan got straight to the point.
"Because of the timely response, the current situation is still under control. Many fans are spontaneously defending him. We have also contacted several major fan sites of He Tong, and they are currently actively cooperating in the fight against the negative publicity. However, the other side has hired a lot of online trolls to obscure the situation and bring up your underage status, so the public's perception is not very good."
What about endorsements and stocks?
"We've already contacted them, and they currently have no intention of terminating the contract, but they hope we can resolve this as soon as possible. The stock price dropped a bit, but it stabilized quickly and didn't collapse."
"What about the plan?" Meng Wan glanced at the documents in her hand.
"The most important thing right now is that those photos aren't fake. Do you have any other relevant images that can serve as evidence?"
Meng Wan frowned. "No."
She wasn't a big fan of taking photos, and since this wasn't anything special for her, she naturally didn't document it.
They were indeed living together at that time, but only for two days. They did it to keep track of the time, and Tian Wei, Bai Liling, and Yan Nian would come over at different times.
However, without evidence, it's just empty talk.
"What about other options?"
If plan A doesn't work, there are also plans B and C.
"We have issued a lawyer's letter to netizens who spread or forward false rumors..."
The person in charge was speaking when there was a knock on the conference room door.
"Come in."
All eyes turned to the doorway of the conference room.
"President Meng." It was clear that Tian Wei was in a hurry when she came over. Although she was dressed appropriately, her hair was slightly messy, and she no longer had her usual meticulous, robot-like appearance.
"Why did you come here?" Meng Wan was a little surprised to see that it was Tian Wei.
With the business in her later years thriving, Tian Wei focused on managing W·P's business, leaving the latter to Bai Liling. Therefore, Tian Wei did not need to participate in this incident.
"I have the video from back then, but it took a while to find it because it's been a long time." Tian Wei took out her phone, which looked like it was from when smartphones were just becoming popular, giving it a vintage feel.
"I charged it a little this morning, and thankfully it turned on," Tian Wei said with a hint of relief.
She clicked on a video in her photo album. The video quality wasn't high-definition, but the faces of the people in the video were still clearly visible.
"Mom, you don't need to worry. I'm in the apartment my boss rents right now. There are five of us. This kid is going to be on TV soon, so we're making final preparations. It's very safe, so you don't need to worry."
In the video, Tian Wei's voice was very soft, as if she didn't want to disturb the people sitting at the dining table discussing important matters. Then, the camera switched to focus on her own face.
"Mom, do you see that the recording quality is clearer with this phone I bought you? Don't worry about the money. I'm earning money now. How can your old pager possibly see the videos I recorded for you? Don't be angry that I'll throw your old phone away. If you just use the new one I bought for you, I won't throw it away."
Tian Wei muttered to herself, and the camera kept shaking, showing that she wasn't very skilled at using it.
"Don't worry, I'll ask Sister Li to keep an eye on you these next few days. I'll contact you as soon as I'm done."
Tian Wei's dialect and youthful face made her look like a young girl who had just graduated, not yet as mature and composed as she is now.
Although it was just casual conversation, the conversation implied that it wasn't just the two of them alone, and also revealed the nature of their work.
"Is it okay to publish this?"
Although it is the best solution, Meng Wan will prioritize the privacy of company employees.
“It’s okay, it’s not some shameful video. I bought two smartphones as soon as I got my first paycheck, but my mom refused to use them, so I filmed this video for her. Luckily, I didn’t delete it, and it still comes in handy.”
"Thank you." Meng Wan patted her on the shoulder.
This matter was outside her scope of handling, and it would be understandable if Tian Wei didn't help, since she was essentially a working person and there was no need for her to take on extra work. However, she still tried her best to find evidence to turn the tables within her capabilities, and for that reason alone, Meng Wan felt that her initial decision was correct.
"I'm glad I could help you."
Tian Wei breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.
She had been by Meng Wan's side since graduation, and actually learned many ways of handling things from this girl who was several years younger than her. Moreover... without her...
