Chapter 136 Timing?
Although they had only spent a few days together, the name Ni Xiao was already etched in Jiang Luo's mind, becoming like a switch.
She groaned and struggled to pull herself out of her daze, her eyes closed, and walked stiffly toward the door as if in a daze.
The door opened, and Ni Xiao stood there, his expression solemn, with He Ziyan beside him.
He Ziyan only came out after hearing the knocking.
Only a few lights were left on in the small house; the corridor was brightly lit, while the hall was pitch black.
"Luo Luo, put on a coat, let's talk outside." Ni Xiao said with a serious expression.
That sharp, chilling aura cut through Jiang Luo's confusion like a knife. She subconsciously glanced at He Ziyan, unaware of what had happened.
This must be a very serious matter.
He Ziyan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to comfort her.
Jiang Luo quickly grabbed a coat and put it on before coming out and walking outside with Ni Xiao.
After taking a step, Ni Xiao turned around and looked at He Ziyan, who was following closely behind. "President He, this involves the privacy of our company's artists. Please give Luo Luo some private space."
Ni Xiao speaks bluntly, without much intonation.
She was well aware that the relationship between He Ziyan and Jiang Luo was extraordinary. After all, He Ziyan had played a part in her becoming Jiang Luo's manager.
Privately, she was willing to befriend He Ziyan and even facilitate a relationship between him and Jiang Luo. However, when it came to Jiang Luo's career and interpersonal relationships, she didn't want anyone else to get involved, not even He Ziyan.
However, she knew that He Ziyan wouldn't act impulsively, and it was precisely because of her understanding of He Ziyan that she was so direct.
He Ziyan was stunned for a moment, and Jiang Luo was also stunned.
He Ziyan: This agent is so fierce.
Jiang Luo: Ni Xiao is amazing.
The two looked like kids caught dating by their homeroom teacher, with a hint of embarrassment and guilt on their faces.
Jiang Luo waved her hand: "Ni Xiao and I are going. You go to sleep first, it's getting late."
Having reviewed Ni Xiao's preliminary plans and her extensive resume, He Ziyan trusted her implicitly and, without hesitation, chose to comply.
In addition, Zheng Man had praised Ni Xiao to He Ziyan more than once, saying that Ni Xiao's professional ability was absolutely top-notch.
He Ziyan believed in Ni Xiao's abilities.
After thinking for a moment, He Ziyan said, "I haven't finished my work yet, and I won't be sleeping for a while. Message me when you get back."
Jiang Luo nodded, and she and Ni Xiao walked out of the cabin.
The wind was chilly at two in the morning in March. As soon as Jiang Luo stepped out of the small house, she couldn't help but shiver.
Ni Xiao walked ahead, her slender figure giving people a sense of security.
Jiang Luo followed closely behind her, never missing a step, and had the illusion that a powerful figure was taking her out.
The car was parked on the side of the road. Ni Xiao opened the passenger door and let Jiang Luo get in first. She then went around to the driver's side and got in as well.
"Shall we go?" Jiang Luo asked, gripping the seatbelt.
Ni Xiao shook her head. "Let's talk here. Take a look at this first." She took her phone out of her pocket and handed it to Jiang Luo.
The screen displays a Weibo page, showing the post that has been trending wildly.
100,000+ reposts, 100,000+ comments, 100,000+ likes.
The text was densely packed, but Jiang Luo immediately spotted the words "bully" and her head went "buzz".
After reading each word, my blood seemed to freeze, colder than the chilling wind outside.
She hadn't expected Xu Jingyan to pull this stunt.
Open the comments section.
The top comment reads: [@AiyanNiuNiu: This bully hasn't changed at all. She's friends with the mistress, bullies our Yanbao, and knows how to charm men. Support Yanbao in protecting her rights! Get this bully off the bus!]
The second most popular comment: [@LostDeer: What's going on? There's a reason why some people can't become famous.]
The third top comment: [@HaveYouEatedToday: No, I'm just a passerby. Isn't the blogger just making things up based on the pictures? They just posted a few photos and made up all the text! (Don't delete my comments anymore! If you delete them again, I'll repost them! I'm just being rebellious!)]
The fourth top comment: [@SunsetInTheWest: These days even bullies get defended.]
...
“This account is run by Xu Jingyan’s fans. These big fans usually have offline connections with the artists, so the content they post doesn’t just represent their personal stance,” Ni Xiao said, looking at Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo was already relieved to see voices in the comments section speaking up for her. The netizens' insults couldn't hurt her. Her only surprise came from the fact that Xu Jingyan could actually go to such lengths.
Looking back on my confession, it was a complete joke.
What Xu Jingyan thought was an attempt to connect with the other person was probably just baffling to her.
She handed the phone back, saying, "I can explain."
"Explain what?" Ni Xiao asked, puzzled.
This confusion puzzled Jiang Luo, who said, "Explain why I smiled at He Ziyan but remained expressionless towards her."
Upon hearing this, Ni Xiao smiled.
That smile made Jiang Luo blush. She felt like she had said something stupid, so she asked weakly, "Don't you need to explain?"
“The explanation is for the netizens.” Ni Xiao’s smile faded. “You smile at He Ziyan simply because you and he have a good relationship. You don’t smile at Xu Jingyan simply because you two aren’t that close. It’s not that hard to understand.”
Her voice was flat and even, without any exaggerated reactions or extraneous emotions.
"Oh," Jiang Luo replied.
"However, it's really unfortunate that Xu Jingyan has run into trouble this time." Ni Xiao picked up a folder from the back seat of the car.
Jiang Luo took it and untied the tangled cotton thread, pulling out a stack of papers from the folder.
"This is..." Jiang Luo's eyes widened the moment her gaze fell on the paper.
This is information about an online troll company, along with some of their case studies.
“When you were being attacked online before, I found it very strange. It was obvious that there was a mastermind behind that incident, but you only sued the person who released the information and did not find out the real mastermind,” Ni Xiao said.
Jiang Luo looked up. So Ni Xiao had been paying attention to her since then.
"It could be because you operate as a single person with weak public relations capabilities, or it could be that Lin Heng is wary of you, after all, the network of connections in these online troll companies is intricate."
“I think he probably considered that if he touched someone else’s cake, it would create a rift with capital later. But now there’s no need to be afraid.” Ni Xiao smiled, his confident light shining throughout the carriage.
Jiang Luo couldn't help but picture her wielding a sword and riding a warhorse. So cool, so dashing, like a female general from ancient times.
"This company has taken on other projects before, including one with an idol I worked with, so I've been following them for a long time and investigating. Recently, I've finally made some progress and was preparing to drop this bombshell at the right time. I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly."
Jiang Luo was bewildered, "Timing?"
