Su Peishan held a tablet and browsed the trending news on Weibo.
The more he looked, the worse his complexion became.
"What does Cai Minmin mean by this? Posting such sarcastic Weibo posts at this time is clearly just looking for trouble. Ma Weimin, that pig-head, must be behind this. This group of people are truly shameless. The original spokesperson for Aifu was Qianmo, but they conspired to take her away. Now that she's back to her rightful owner, Cai Minmin still has the nerve to come out and act aggrieved?"
Seeing Su Peishan's face turn pale with anger, Chen Xiang advised, "Right now, Cai Minmin's preemptive strike is not good for the boss in terms of public opinion. After all, everyone knows that the CEO of Prosperous Media is the boss, while Cai Minmin is nominally just the boss's employee. This creates a power imbalance in terms of status."
"What we need to do right now is to change public opinion online," Li Song also expressed his opinion.
Bai Qianmo listened to their respective opinions, remaining silent throughout.
Su Peishan looked at her: "Qianmo, what are your thoughts?"
"I have no idea." Actually, she was thinking about something else.
Lately, she's been feeling like something's following her.
Why did she say "things" instead of people?
Because the person following her did not have any human presence.
If someone follows her for a long time, she will definitely be able to detect the other person's familiar scent.
But this thing didn't smell like a person, yet she could sense its presence.
What could it be?
"No ideas? I saw you sitting there deep in thought, not saying a word, and I thought you were trying to come up with a solution."
In the end, it was all for naught.
Even the smartest person says there's nothing they can do, so what is she even thinking?
"Should we hire a crisis PR firm?" Chen Xiang suggested.
Su Peishan shook her head: "I also thought about hiring a crisis management team, but doing so would be too deliberate and could backfire. Look at what people are saying about Qianmo online now."
She connected her tablet to the office projector screen, and a trending topic on Weibo instantly appeared on the screen.
*Did Bai suppress newcomers to seize resources?
*The most shameless celebrity, Bai Moumou*
*She's truly a trump card; this woman is a bit ruthless.*
None of the three trending topics about Bai Qianmo are good.
"Did Weibo receive some kind of benefit from Cai Minmin?" Li Song frowned.
"It's probably just to generate buzz. None of the three trending topics mentioned names, but everyone knows who it is at a glance," Su Peishan explained.
She then clicked on the related comments under the trending topic. Although many of Bai Qianmo's fans came out to control the comments, Cai Minmin's fans were mostly male otaku and some junior and senior high school girls. Most male otaku fantasize about their idols as if they were their wives.
So when his "wife" is bullied, the otaku's destructive power will instantly explode.
Junior and senior high school students, being at a stage of immaturity, are easily manipulated and become perpetrators of cyberbullying.
“I suddenly remembered someone,” Bai Qianmo interjected.
The others all looked at her.
"who?"
Ningxi.
Upon hearing this name, Su Peishan couldn't immediately think of a person who matched the description.
Chen Xiang's eyes lit up.
"Cai Minmin's high school classmate? Yes, she's now a trainee under Prosperity. This person seems to know about Cai Minmin's past scandals and has something on her."
A blurry image flashed through Su Peishan's mind.
"Now that you mention it, I do have a vague recollection of her. She was recommended by Ma Weimin and Cai Minmin to participate in this year's girl group competition. She has a good image, but she doesn't look like a kind person. Even if she were an actress, she would only be suitable for playing a supporting role who bullies the female lead."
"Who of you will go and approach Ningxi?" Bai Qianmo glanced at Su Peishan and Chen Xiang.
“Sister Su, as the person in charge of the girl group, you can get close to Ning Xi. Chen Xiang, on the other hand, already knows her privately, and she doesn’t know your identity yet, so it will be easier for him to approach her.”
"I'll do it," Chen Xiang volunteered.
Although I don't want to be a jerk, it seems that the only way to get close to Ningxi is the most cliché but effective one.
"That's settled then. Report any new developments to me promptly."
The meeting ended.
Su Peishan arrived at Bai Qianmo's office.
"You seem to have something on your mind." He walked over to Bai Qianmo and handed her the coffee he had just brewed.
Bai Qianmo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the scenery outside.
May is just around the corner, and the trees and flowers outside are full of vitality.
But she always felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
This prevented her from focusing all her energy on her work.
"Fifth Brother has been gone for seven days and hasn't contacted me yet."
Su Peishan teased, "So it's just a young girl longing for her lover. But with someone as capable as Lord Jue, surrounded by experts, there's bound to be no problem."
Bai Qianmo nodded, holding the warm coffee cup in both hands.
Hopefully, she's just overthinking it.

Women's Training Camp
Several young and pretty girls were sweating it out in the rehearsal room.
Accompanied by the thumping sound, the girls danced a synchronized girl group dance to energetic music.
"Ningxi, someone's looking for you outside." A staff member pushed open the door and came in.
One of the girls wiped the sweat from her face, looking somewhat puzzled.
Who is it?
The girl group training camp is under closed management; even cell phones are confiscated, and friends and family members are not allowed to enter.
