Mrs. Du nervously called her youngest son.
“My dear son, have you upset your dad again recently? He left without even eating dinner and told you to hurry to the company.”
Du Yuanjie, who was drinking at the club, received a phone call. He frowned and looked impatient: "What problem could there be? My dad is just looking for trouble."
"Why don't you go to the company? I think your father is really angry," Mrs. Du advised.
Although Du Yuanjie was favored, he was still a little afraid of his father's temper, so he reluctantly pushed the woman off him.
"Young Master Du? Where are you going, Young Master Du?"
"Get lost, don't bother me."
Once he left, the rest of the people quieted down, and the men and women who had been drinking with him all rolled their eyes.
"If he doesn't drink, we'll drink it ourselves. At least we won't have to spend our own money."
"That's right, we'll get a lot of commission from this order today."
Soon they were happily eating and drinking again.
Du Peng returned to the company in a flurry of activity, and he immediately contacted Weibo staff to remove the trending topic.
Unfortunately, they said they had already paid for one night's stay and couldn't lower the price.
He then prepared to contact technicians to try and remove the trending topic himself, but after a dozen people fiddled with it for a long time, they still couldn't make a move.
On those freezing cold days, beads of cold sweat streamed down my face.
"Mr. Du, someone wrote a program to push this trending topic down, and we can't get it off the trending list."
Du Peng's forehead veins bulged as he kicked an employee's desk.
With a loud bang, the computer on top crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.
The owner of the desk: ...
Damn it, working overtime is already annoying enough!
He's not going to have to pay for this, is he?
Before he could think any further, Du Peng roared furiously, "What use are you? A bunch of useless trash!"
When Du Yuanjie arrived, the company was eerily quiet, and even he could feel the explosive molecules in the air.
He dropped his nonchalant attitude and put on a serious expression.
His older brother was anxiously making a phone call outside the office. When he saw him arrive, he immediately put on a stern face and hung up the phone.
"Xiao Jie, Dad is inside. Go in and explain."
He looked completely bewildered. What was he trying to explain?
Before he could even ask, Du Peng shouted from inside, "Du Yuanjie, get your ass in here!"
His older brother didn't even glance at him, and went straight to the finance department. He had to figure out a way to balance the accounts in one night.
His younger brother was spoiled since childhood, and he always said he'd cause trouble someday. Now look what's happened; who knows which big shot he's offended, and it's hard to say whether the company can weather this storm.
He and his dad were both extremely busy, but he still looked completely oblivious.
Upon entering the office, Du Yuanjie was met with a sharp folder; had he not dodged it quickly, he would have been disfigured.
He angrily questioned, "Dad! What are you doing? You almost hit me!"
"You unfilial son, how dare you question your father? Look at the mess you've made! The company will be ruined by you one day!"
He picked up the folder on the ground with a puzzled look; it contained a series of hastily prepared solutions.
What needs to be addressed are the things he did and the company's shady dealings.
His initial indifference suddenly vanished, and his pupils constricted sharply.
"Dad? How did these things get here?"
"Look at the trending topics yourself! Even now, you still don't understand what happened. How could I have given birth to a son like you!" Du Peng was so angry that his temples throbbed and he could hardly breathe.
Du Yuanjie then took out his phone to check, and that immediately made him feel dizzy and disoriented.
He now realized the seriousness of the situation.
If these trending topics could be removed, they certainly wouldn't still be there.
But now everyone in the company is busy, and it's still trending on social media. What he can think of, his dad and older brother can definitely think of too.
"What, what should we do, Dad?"
"You're asking me? If you're asking me, who should I ask?" Du Peng was equally clueless and could only do his best to salvage the situation.
At midnight, Du Peng thought of the email he had received and it felt like he had grasped a lifeline.
He pounded away on the keyboard, and finally sent the message.
Just as Xu Bai finished processing the last document and was about to take a break, he received a reply.
A faint smile curved her lips as she casually lifted the milk beside her and took a sip.
He quickly glanced at the email and replied with only six words: You know what to do.
What's the point of an apology in an email?
Miss, you don't need such a flimsy apology.
Du Peng, who had been looking forward to it, felt a chill in his heart. He gritted his teeth and gave the order: "Have the official Weibo account publish an apology letter. Du Yuanjie, you write it. After you finish, have them polish it before publishing it."
Du Yuanjie's face stiffened: "Apology letter to whom?"
"Idiot! Don't you know who you've messed with lately?" Du Peng felt like killing Du Yuanjie at this moment.
He could only pray that the magnanimous official would spare his company.
Du Yuanjie had long suspected Shi Xing, but he had never dared to admit it. Now, he was disheartened and gritted his teeth to write an apology letter.
Half an hour later, the official account of Sanhe Film and Television, which had been silent until then, posted a Weibo post.
Moreover, it was an apology letter, addressed to Shi Xing and Su Xian, who had become incredibly popular just a few days prior.
Enthusiastic netizens, drawn by the smell, arrived.
Upon seeing that it was an apology letter to Shi Xing and Su Xian, I was immediately filled with questions. How could the two be related?
After watching it, I realized that the news that Su Xian was being kept by a sugar daddy was a rumor spread by Du Yuanjie.
