Chapter 415 If you need me, just ask.
Halfway through the game of Gomoku, Achu received a call from his assistant, Qian Jiajia.
"Hello? Jiajia, what's up?"
Qian Jiajia's tone was slightly urgent: "President Chu, you've been cyberbullied!"
Achu raised her eyebrows, switched the call to speakerphone, and listened to Qian Jiajia while opening Weibo.
The old man overheard Qian Jiajia quickly summarize:
"At 6:30 this afternoon, Nangong Xueyao revealed in a live broadcast that she was a fake heiress from a wealthy family, and soon many people on the Internet started digging up your information."
"Many people claiming to be your classmates have come forward to reveal various scandals about you during your school years, and also said... and also said..."
Ah Chu spoke for her, her tone calm: "You also said I almost killed someone and was sent to a mental hospital, right?"
The old man's smile faded, and his brows furrowed.
He also had some understanding of the power of online public opinion.
If the heir to a group is not in a good image in various aspects, it will also affect the company's stock price.
Ah Chu was already under the old man's evaluation period, and if this incident wasn't handled well, she could very well be passed over.
Qian Jiajia: "President Chu, what should we do now? Should I contact Weibo's operations team to remove the trending topics and suppress the issue?"
Achu: "No need, let's leave it to them for now and let them discuss it."
"There haven't been any new scandals online lately. They're really enjoying it, so if they suddenly shut up, the backlash might be even stronger."
Perhaps it was because A-Chu's tone was too calm that Qian Jiajia gradually calmed down as well.
She replied, "Okay, Mr. Chu, please feel free to contact me if you have any other plans."
Achu nodded and said, "Okay."
After the call ended, the old man asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
Achu turned to look at the old man, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"As I just said, we will not deal with it for the time being."
"But don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely not affect the company's image."
The old man thought that this might also be a test for Achu, to see how she would handle such a situation.
Nangong Tianyue couldn't understand any of this, and couldn't help but urge Achu, "Sister, please continue!"
Achu smiled and replied, "Okay, let's continue."
While everyone here was having a good time, Nangong Xueyao was also thoroughly enjoying what she saw online.
In her imagination, Ah Chu might not know yet, or he might know but be panicked and not know what to do.
Nangong Xueyao wasn't afraid of Achu removing the trending topic and suppressing the discussion; she had prepared a large number of online trolls and would launch an even fiercer attack later.
She also messaged Star Orbit Entertainment's public relations department, asking if they had received instructions from A Chu to contact Weibo.
Upon learning that Achu had no intention of removing the trending topic or suppressing the discussion, I became even more convinced that she didn't know what to do.
Nangong Xueyao was very pleased with herself.
She looked at the photo on her phone screen—a picture of Ah Chu covered in blood, looking like a hideous demon—and murmured with a smile:
"Nangong Chu, no matter what, you will never be my match."
At the same time, Nangong Xueyao posted a Weibo post, adding fuel to the fire of this farce.
Nangong Xueyao: [Please, everyone, stop discussing my sister. What happened back then caused her great harm. She knows she was wrong and has already changed!]
Her Weibo post was essentially an admission of the veracity of those revelations.
Her fans praised Nangong Xueyao for being too gentle and kind, and advised her to stay away from Achu to avoid being hurt.
Nangong Xueyao replied below: 【It's okay. I often feel indebted to my sister and always want to make it up to her in some way.】
Her gentleness and kindness have won her another group of fans.
And netizens' malice towards Achu has intensified.
Some marketing accounts, in order to generate buzz, have exaggerated Ah Chu's various scandals.
Before going to bed at night, Achu spoke with Wen Zhiyu as usual.
Yes, they rarely meet, but they keep in touch every day.
At first, we only sent text messages, then voice messages, and now we make direct voice calls.
They chat now more naturally and casually than friends.
Wen Zhiyu brought up the matter of A Chu that was circulating online.
"Do you need my help?" he asked.
Ah Chu was still looking through the documents, her phone next to her with the speakerphone on.
Wen Zhiyu's voice is very pleasant, gentle and magnetic, deep and melodious.
Several times she woke up from nightmares and instinctively called him, falling asleep only after hearing his voice.
Achu knew that she had a dependence on Wen Zhiyu that went beyond friendship.
Wen Zhiyu knew this and condoned it.
Neither of them dared to break the unspoken understanding.
Upon hearing Wen Zhiyu's question, A Chu smiled and said easily, "No need."
In fact, Wen Zhiyu had already anticipated that A Chu would not need his help.
He guessed that Ah Chu had other plans.
Wen Zhiyu: "If you need me, just ask."
After ending the call, Achu received a file, several videos, and an audio recording from Wen Zhiyu.
She clicked on it, then raised an eyebrow in surprise.
This is...!
After reading all this, Achu couldn't help but wonder, is Wen Zhiyu really just an ordinary psychiatrist?
Since Achu did not respond, netizens lost interest after two days of discussion, and the hype naturally died down.
However, there was a small incident during the process.
The day after Nangong Xueyao revealed that she was a fake heiress happened to be Saturday, the day of the Nangong family's gathering.
During dinner, Nangong Wang and his wife criticized Achu in front of the whole family, saying that if she hadn't been the way she used to be, she wouldn't be being exposed and cyberbullied by netizens now.
Nangong Wang even put on a show of upholding justice and sacrificing family ties, urging the old man to dismiss Achu from his post to avoid damaging the company's image.
The old man just looked at him sternly: "Isn't the Nangong Group still under your control?"
Nangong Wang dared not speak.
At the same time, he was also surprised, thinking that the old man was being too protective of A-Chu.
Even Nangong Tianyu couldn't help but glance at A Chu a few more times, falling into deep thought.
Nangong Xueyao never expected that the old man would still protect Achu and allow her to continue serving as the general manager of Xinggui Entertainment.
He couldn't help but feel jealous; his own granddaughter was just different!
But it's alright, she still has a follow-up plan for Nangong Chu—
In addition to investing in programs, Ah Chu also plans to create a live-streaming variety show.
There are currently live-streamed adventure variety shows, sports variety shows, and slow-paced lifestyle variety shows. Some have received a decent response, while others have only received a so-so response.
Just then, Wens Foodstuff Group developed a new flying camera, so Achu met with relevant personnel from Wens Foodstuff Group to discuss cooperation.
What Achu wants to create is a live-streamed dating reality show.
The guest lineup ranged from celebrity couples to internet celebrity couples.
After learning about the show, Nangong Xueyao took the initiative to ask Wen Jingran to participate.
Achu naturally agreed.
This show was tailor-made for Nangong Xueyao...
