Chapter 798: That's because the Zhou family has good genes!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin picked up her phone and began browsing the news comments, and the others also put down their chopsticks and picked up their phones.
The internet was in an uproar early this morning, probably because of the evacuation from abroad, and everyone was following the facts.
The online uproar stemmed from a short video showing Chu Yan and Gu Le arriving at the warship on a yacht and boarding directly without having to queue.
The video caused an uproar online as soon as it was released.
During this critical time, some people are still abusing their privileges?! Everyone is equal before life! Yet, at this crucial moment, some people are still using connections? Who wouldn't be angry?
In just a short time, there have been more than 10,000 comments.
Gu Yin scrolled through the posts that had the most likes.
"Who are these two? What contributions have they made to deserve this privilege?"
"Everyone else is queuing up? Why aren't those two using it?"
"Even at this point, there are still privileges. It's true that the lives of ordinary people aren't worth anything!"
"I just watched other videos. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our officers and soldiers are frantically searching for their compatriots amidst the flames of war, while some people in suits are leisurely boarding warships on yachts. Hahaha, how ridiculous!"
"Does anyone recognize these two? Who are they? Are they the Crown Prince?!"
"I don't know him. So what if he's the crown prince? Don't ordinary people's lives matter? Besides, we're all taxpayers! Why should they get special treatment?"
"We hope the higher-ups will give us an explanation!"
"My friend is an insider, and he said those two people are not ordinary! He told us to stop talking about it or we'd lose our accounts!"
"I've wanted to say this for a long time! Didn't you see that the person waiting on the ship is Mr. Chu, who often appears in financial newspapers and on television?!"
"The older one on the yacht is the young master of the Chu family! I don't know the younger one, I've never seen him before, but since he's with the young master, he must not be an ordinary person!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's so good to be rich!"
"...Indeed, it's good to be rich."
"My parents went through a lot of anxiety to get checked, then waited in line for ages before they could board the boat! Meanwhile, they were picked up and dropped off directly by yacht! It's so sad!"
Gu Yin already knew what was going on when she saw this. She didn't scroll down any further, but put down her phone and looked at Gu Le: "Le, what do you think about this?"
Gu Le frowned, flipping through the videos as he replied, "During this special period, the world's attention is focused on this area, so it's normal for some special videos to appear. These comments, made to incite conflict, are probably not from our own people. Someone is trying to muddy the waters and cause trouble. Their wolfish ambitions are obvious to everyone! The enemy's desire to destroy us has never disappeared! The masses don't know the truth and will only join in the anger. In this situation, it's not good for us to step forward. If we come forward to explain, they will think even more that we got in through connections or something. They will either ignore it or give an official explanation."
Chu Yan's identity had already been exposed, but he didn't seem to care: "In this situation, there will definitely be someone following us, so we don't need to worry."
Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to care, Gu Yin stopped worrying. She was used to this kind of thing in her past life, and besides, this wasn't their problem. They had the country as their backing, so there was even less reason to worry.
"Go and rest after you finish eating. Chu Yan, you can cook when you get home later. Your aunt, grandpa, and grandma Chu have been worried about you." Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan nodded: "I know. I'll go back after I finish eating. I'll also need to contact my teacher later to let him know I'm safe."
After returning home, Chu's father did not come to the Gu family. Instead, he went to the Chu family next door with his wife and parents. As for his son's whereabouts, he didn't care. A grown son is not meant to be kept at home!
After breakfast, everyone else went to work or rested, but Gu Yin had nothing to do, so she took out her phone to reply to her grandfather, senior brother, and teacher.
The public relations department in the port city has been paying close attention to online public opinion, and they couldn't help but speak out when the video was first released and misinterpreted.
We reported it to the president's office, and they suggested handling it quietly. However, the subsequent statements became increasingly outrageous, and the public relations department couldn't sit still any longer!
"This is outrageous! These people are spouting nonsense without knowing anything! They even claim our young master is President Chu's illegitimate son! How could President Chu possibly have such genes in someone like our young master? Only our boss's genes could make our young master so outstanding!"
Looking at the PR director, who resembled a radical youth, the people below shook their heads helplessly.
"Boss, although our boss has great genes, it seems that President Chu's side is just as impressive. In China, Young Master Chu may just be the heir of the Chu family, but his achievements abroad are extraordinary! He's among the elite!"
"So what! How old is he? How old is our young master? How can he compare to our young master?" The mansion manager retorted, in his mind, the boss's family was number one! No one could compare!
"Hey, boss, that's the future son-in-law. Are you sure you want to talk bad about him behind his back?"
The supervisor paused for a moment upon hearing this, then coughed lightly: "So what?! Is our young lady inferior to him?! No! Our young lady is many times more capable than him! Let's talk about it after he marries into the Zhou family! We might not even know for sure! Alright! Get back to work! People are already insulting us! Forget about whether it's suitable or not! Criticize them back!"
The subordinate said, "...Boss, you can't swear! If you swear, the old man will come all the way back from the mainland and give you a piece of his mind! We're a national enterprise, we need to have a bigger picture, we can't act like those entertainment reporters here! It's embarrassing!"
The director rolled his eyes: "I know! What a hassle! If you ask me, just do it!"
That's what he said, but in the end he still directly posted what Gu Le did on the official website.
"Our young master is only a teenager, a minor! He went against the tide of war to cooperate with the country's work! What were you doing when you were teenagers?! Were you still pulling girls' hair and acting like gangsters?! Besides, that yacht belongs to our Zhou family. We can ride in it if we want! It's none of your business! Otherwise, if we had given the boat away, why would we have had to cross half of Libya and risk being bombed? We could have just come back on our own! You don't appreciate our kindness!"
After Gu Yin finished the call, she saw the information online and, to her dismay, contacted the Hong Kong side.
"Boss! Miss called to ask about something online!"
The director, with a serious expression, asked, "...What did the young lady say?"
His subordinates laughed when they saw he was nervous.
"Miss, you can have as much fun as you want! But watch your words and don't escalate the issue to the national level."
The director immediately nodded, "Absolutely! Tell her to rest assured!" He then went to his office computer. Back to work!
