Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Non-existent Scandal and Fatal Leverage!

The situation was still fermenting, and netizens' attitudes towards Xiao Wan became increasingly excited.

What a load of crap about being pure as ice and jade.

What nonsense about being the newly popular girl-next-door.

What baloney about someone who would even refuse to film a kiss scene.

It's all lies!

How could such an immoral woman even debut?

Thank goodness some kind-hearted person dug out the dirt, otherwise who knows how long we would have been deceived!

Xiao Wan was sitting in the office of Tianyu's Lu Guan; she looked at the trending searches online, feeling very painful inside. She didn't understand what was going on, why everyone was cursing her in such a short time.

Having weathered countless storms, Lu Guan had encountered such situations before. Usually, if a star under his company was involved in these kinds of events, the company would first initiate a wave of self-clearing. If it found there was really no way to resolve the situation, it would decisively put the star on ice to avoid bringing trouble upon itself.

But today's incident had a conflict point, which was that Xiao Wan was the big boss's sister, and it was these siblings that people were spreading rumors about!

Just thinking about it with your brain, it would seem impossible, yet in the mouths of people, it turned into countless versions.

"President Lu, those people we hired can't out-talk the netizens..."

The head of the public relations department said with a gloomy face, "People don't care about the truth of the matter, they just need a target to vent their frustrations on, and unfortunately... Miss Xiao Wan has been targeted."

"There must be someone fanning the flames behind this," the chief agent of Tianyu pondered. "But Xiao Wan normally leads a simple life, going back and forth between work and home, never visiting other places, nor offending people she shouldn't. This is really strange..."

Lu Guan by now had probably figured out the truth. Since it wasn't Xiao Wan's fault, there was only one other suspect left, the big boss had been targeted.

He immediately phoned Song Yun to explain the situation. After a moment of silence, Song Yun said, "I know."

After hanging up, Song Yun lit a cigarette and immediately thought of Nangong Han's infuriating face.

Nangong Han seemed very bold in his actions, not hiding the desire to attack at all. On the contrary, he seemed eager for Song Yun to quickly find out, to come begging him to let go.

Nangong Han had already prepared how to ridicule Song Yun.

Song Yun then had his affiliated companies issue a joint statement, but the effect was not very ideal; online abuse continued unabated.

Xiao Wan's social media account was also borrowed by Tianyu's PR department, and after half an hour of editing, a post was published on WB.

The gist of the post was that Song Yun was just a cousin, asking everyone not to get the wrong idea to avoid being manipulated by someone with an agenda.

After this post was released, some people began to waver, but the internet army under Nangong Han were not just messing around.

They immediately started a new wave of hype.

"Cousin? That's hilarious. Weren't you just playing minor roles over the past few years? And suddenly, a 'cousin' appears out of nowhere?"

"Oh dear, is it no longer popular to recognize godfathers? Now even cousins are being brought up, who knows whether you two are actually related by blood."

"Heh, Xiao Wan, do you take everyone for fools to toy with? So many entertainment reporters are hammering you; could this matter still be fake? Don't be deceived by this bad woman, everyone! Let's boycott her together!"

In no time, the news of Xiao Wan being kicked out of the entertainment industry was brought up again by netizens.

Even the openly known industries under Song Yun's control encountered boycotts from netizens.

By the end of trading, they had shrunk by 5%.

Don't underestimate this 5%. It evaporated at least several billion in market value, and I believe that these industries will take another big dive as soon as the market opens tomorrow.

"Heh, let's see how you turn this around."

Nangong Han sat in the Zhuang Family's living room, his laughter unable to be contained.

He hadn't expected that the point he least cared about would be exactly the most serious one in the eyes of netizens. Song Yun, oh Song Yun, you must be frantically wondering how to deal with it now, right?

Zhuang Siheng, sitting beside Nangong Han, was also very excited. If Song Yun really reconciled with the Nangong Family, being caught in the middle would still be quite uncomfortable for him.

But now, it's all good, cause for celebration!

He could continue to dream of becoming the wealthiest man, and in this plan, he might even get his hands on a significant share of the companies under Song Yun!

So awesome!

"Young Master Nangong, should we start buying as soon as the market opens tomorrow?" Zhuang Siheng asked with a smile.

Nangong Han shook his head, a trace of ruthlessness flickering in his eyes, "It's not at its lowest price yet, no need to rush. This time, I'm going to make Song Yun suffer a huge loss!"

That very night, people close to Song Yun gathered at the Hua Country's first villa.

Father Ye rushed back with his wife as well. When he pushed the door open and saw his daughter's worried face, he knew that the situation was far from being as simple as he had imagined.

"Song Yun, a few days ago Nangong Han came to the Ye family looking for me, probably wanting a ceasefire. I didn't agree... It's all my fault; if I had just placated him then, it would have been better," Father Ye said with some regret.

Song Yun shook her head and smiled, "Dad, do you think that vicious dog Nangong Han would really come begging for peace with his tail between his legs? Most likely he's harboring some evil scheme! Otherwise, why would he counterattack immediately after being rejected? Does that resemble a peace-seeking attitude?"

"So, what's your plan? You certainly won't be able to suppress it online for the time being, and tomorrow morning your companies..."

"Look, the solution is here." Song Yun pointed at Huang Baoding as he came out of the room and said with a smile, "Brother Huang, is there any news from the Ouyang family?"

"It's all here," Huang Baoding said, looking somewhat exhausted. Today, he made contact with the Ouyang family to collect some dirt on the Nangong Family, waiting to retaliate.

Song Yun flipped through the pages, but the dirt was all about minor issues and couldn't completely shift the netizens' focus.

However, one piece of information caught his attention as he reached the end.

"Nangong Family, you really have some nerve!" Song Yun said with an icy gaze, "To actually dare to collaborate with Hua Xiang in secret—do you have a death wish?"

"Hua Xiang?" Father Ye's expression turned grave as he asked seriously, "The Hua Xiang chain of kimchi supermarkets?"

At the time, Hua Xiang chain supermarkets had about forty or fifty stores in Hua Country and were very popular.

Partly for this reason, Hua Xiang's overall market value had increased several-fold over the past few years.

But Hua Xiang, having earned a substantial amount of capital in Hua Country, seemed to have forgotten who their real patrons were—the president of their company had publicly insulted Hua Country on a foreign website.

This information was seen by overseas students, who immediately took screenshots and sent them back home.

Before long, the entire network was boycotting Hua Xiang.

The supermarket that had been making millions a day soon became deserted.

A week after the incident escalated, not a single customer could be found in any of their stores.

This directly led to Hua Xiang's overall market value being halved, and they closed all their stores in disgrace.

The Nangong Family really had some audacity to secretly collaborate with Hua Xiang after all that.

And they even had Hua Xiang change their marketing tactics and continue to produce cosmetics under a different brand, selling them in Hua Country through the Nangong Family's channels.
