The office returned to silence, and Lin Bai then raised his hand to applaud.
"What a show! They'd rather let outsiders break their grandson's legs than apologize. Is that backbone, or is it ruthlessness?"
Tang Qi glanced at him, then returned to his office seat. Meng Wan sat with her legs crossed, replying to something on her phone.
"If Qin Huai'an isn't ruthless, he won't be able to stabilize the precarious Qin family." Meng Wan answered Lin Bai's question after turning off her phone.
"The fact that he can specifically train a team of artists to maintain his persona, and even plans to have his grandson follow in his footsteps to solidify the Qin family, is enough to show that Qin Huai'an has become obsessed. He has lived like this for most of his life, and the artist persona has long become a constraint for him, making it impossible for him to give up the glory he has gained. The so-called third path reveals his true nature."
“He cares more about the Qin family’s reputation than his grandson,” Lin Bai concluded, picking up where Meng Wan left off.
Meng Wan nodded and looked at Tang Qi.
"It's all arranged. The video from that day will also be posted online. Is there anything else we should be aware of?"
In the internet sphere, Meng Wan, as the owner of an entertainment company, naturally has a wider network of connections than Tang Qi, and she is also better at manipulating public opinion to achieve her desired goals.
By sheer coincidence, Meng Wan recorded Qin Yang's little tricks that day. Even more coincidentally, Qin Yang's arrogance and malice were so blatant that they didn't even need to find any additional witnesses.
Everyone present was a witness.
"That's all, well done."
Despite being a hidden tycoon running two companies, Meng Wan couldn't help but curl her lips when she heard Tang Qi's praise.
"However, if you never intended to give him a choice from the beginning, why didn't you just release it directly instead of going through such a long and complicated process?"
“Because it’s more fun this way,” they both replied at the same time.
The fact that it was taken for granted gave Lin Bai goosebumps. He was once again thankful that he was on the friendly side and not the enemy, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Think about it, we went there this morning, and he wouldn't let us in. As a result, he has to swallow his pride and come over even though he knows we're going to give him a hard time."
Meng Wan crossed her arms. Although she hadn't conspired with Tang Qi beforehand, she understood Tang Qi's intentions in an instant.
"Secondly, we deliberately give him two choices, and when he is wavering, we present him with a fatal third option. He will find the one he can accept among these three options, and by the time he realizes it, his inner ugliness will have already been fully revealed."
Tang Qi's voice was clear and pleasant, yet it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
"Finally, tell him that it was all a joke, and that there is only one correct answer, which is C."
Tang Qi and Meng Wan bumped fists and exchanged a few words, which made Lin Bai shake his head and clap his hands.
"The key point is that after he realized he'd been tricked, he thought about the decision he'd made...tsk tsk tsk, ruthless, really ruthless!"
He paused, resting his hand on the desk.
"But if you tell him now, aren't you giving him a chance to prepare in advance? Even a fallen camel is bigger than a horse. The Qin family was once glorious, after all. There should be quite a few media outlets that will help cover it up, right? And then hire an online army to wash it clean..."
Meng Wan shook her head. "Everyone has their own expertise. Any newspaper with a reputation knows how to choose between a declining family and a leading enterprise closely associated with these media outlets. As for that small magazine, there's no need to pay attention to it."
Lin Bai nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Now, we just need to wait for the show to begin." Meng Wan's words exuded a confidence that she had the upper hand, making people believe that she would definitely achieve her goals.
"Alright, the show's over, you can leave now." Tang Qi began to shoo people away without any mercy.
"No way, Tang Qi, are you a reincarnation of Zhou Bapi? It's already midnight, you don't need to eat, but I still do!"
Tang Qi ignored him and turned to look at Meng Wan.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat."
Meng Wan nodded and went to get her bag from the sofa.
“I want to go too.” Lin Bai immediately chimed in.
Tang Qi merely glanced at him indifferently, without saying anything.
After finishing her meal, Meng Wan went home. The rest is up to time; let things unfold naturally.
As many expected, several trending topics quietly appeared online at 9 p.m.
The phone rang, and Meng Wan left Meng Zhiyao's room, returned to her own room, and closed the door.
"Boss, the relevant content has been released, and the hired online trolls have started to take action. The popularity is constantly increasing, and the video text seems to have resonated with other parents. The popularity is higher than expected."
"Very good, have the technical department keep an eye on it."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Wan logged onto the software.

Meng Wan clicked on the first page; both elementary schools were well-known among parents, so naturally they were interested. The luxurious and grand decor made many netizens sigh at the gap between people's lifestyles.
After swiping a couple of times, Meng Wan exited and clicked on the second entry. The first result was a video of Qin Yang maliciously pushing Tang Li during the competition. Although both children's faces were blurred, someone quickly dug up Qin Yang's information, which, coincidentally, connected to the third entry.
Qiqi: As expected, like father, like son! So young, yet so vicious! He couldn't be knocked down the first time, so he tried a second time. He's determined to harm people!
European-style rich woman: I'm here! The kid is so arrogant, he doesn't seem to feel any remorse at all. I heard he refuses to apologize, and when he heard the school was going to cancel his grades, he cried and made a scene.
Let's just fool ourselves: another reason to discourage having children!
33: I know, I know! This child's parents are being unreasonable, even claiming that the other child framed their grandson! I heard that the other child is a famous ink painter, the kind who has been on TV.
Insiders: LOL! A famous ink painter? Does anyone not know that all his paintings are done by ghostwriters?! #QinHuaiAnGhostwriters
ttt: Wow! That's amazing?
Whistleblower Xiao Wang: His grandson isn't any better. Someone dug it up—a large portion of his grandson's award-winning works were created by bribing the judges, and the other half were done by finding suitable children to draw them, deliberately choosing talented kids from impoverished families. It's disgusting! Who knows what's going on?! #QinYang'sCultivatedGenius
Money in my pocket: I remember now, he was at Dalifu's exhibition before. I heard that he also bribed the judges and was blacklisted by Dalifu. It was said that he would not be allowed to participate in any exhibitions or related competitions in the future.
Thanks to the good deeds done by the Qin family, Meng Wan and her team only needed to light the fuse, and more people would discover the hidden bomb.
When each one explodes, that's when the Qin family will have to reap the bitter fruits of their own actions.
