Lingyun Group’s office.

Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, Cheng Shuang, and Tian Yan were all gathered here.

Other than the four important leaders, Ji Qingyan was also present.

Although they had successfully blocked Zhao Mo’s first two attemps, this was no reason to celebrate.

Muddy Waters LLC, which had never shown its face until now, was even more difficult to deal with.

For a public company, the most dangerous thing was not the enemy, but negative public opinion.

Any bit of negative news could cause billions in losses.

If things weren’t so serious, Ji Qingyan would not have rushed over personally.

Others might not understand Ji Qingyan, but He Yuanyuan felt much more at ease with her senior sister around.

“Where did President Lin go? Is he still unreachable?” Cheng Shuang asked.

In his opinion, although Lin Yi was elusive, he would still normally show up for such a big matter.

“I called him this morning, but no one picked up,” He Yuanyuan said.

“He has an important surgery today. At this time, he won’t answer the phone even if the sky falls.”

“This matter is extraordinary,” Cheng Shuang said anxiously.

“If we make a blunder, the losses will be unfathomable.”

“You guys don’t understand Lin Yi. He’s very particular about these things. Even if the sky falls, he won’t pick up anyone’s call as long as he hasn’t finished his surgery, let alone due to Muddy Waters.”

“But don’t be nervous everyone. Even though Muddy Waters has an outstanding track record, it won’t be easy for them to dig up any negative news about us.”

“First of all, Lingyun Group is not listed, so it doesn’t have to do any financial reporting. This is one of the sources of negative news they often exploit. That’s how Luckin fell.”

Ji Qingyan paused for a moment. “I’ve also seen the financial reports from Didi. Although there are some problems with the individual accounts, they’re all trivial matters. Even if they’re exposed, it won’t be a big deal.”

“The only thing they can make an article about is the few negative incidents that happened to Didi last year. These things have long been exposed. Even if they want to use it a second time, it won’t be that big of a deal. Let’s calm down and not panic. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”

“Got it, President Ji.”

Whoosh!

The office door was pushed open without anyone knocking.

A woman in work clothes entered. Her name was Li Li, and she was Qi Xianzhao’s secretary.

“Director Qi, bad news. There’s a lot of negative news about us on Weibo. You have to take a look.”

Everyone present knew what she meant.

Muddy Waters had made their move!

“Alright, I understand!”

At the same time, Ji Qingyan skillfully opened Weibo. The negative news about Lingyun Group and Didi had already climbed to the top of the trending searches.

The first message that appeared made the atmosphere in the office become gloomy and even more oppressive!

[The CEO of Lingyun Group maintains an improper relationship with many women.]

Ji Qingyan’s body trembled as if her heart had been stabbed.

That indescribable feeling was unbearable to her.

However, she knew that she had to remain calm at this moment.

Despite this, her beautiful oval face still turned pale.

Realizing that something was wrong, He Yuanyuan took the mouse and said,

“What kind of nonsense is this? Even if it’s slander, why bring up such tame news. Let’s look at the other trending topics.”

“Wait. Let’s see what’s written inside first.”

Ji Qingyan took the mouse and clicked to expand the contents. Her expression was normal, but this was because she was suppressing her emotions.

[The president of Lingyun Group, Lin Yi, abandoned his real girlfriend (President of Chaoyang Group, Ji Qingyan) a month ago. He went to Yangcheng with a woman surnamed Li and stayed in the same hotel together. According to sources, the woman surnamed Li’s name is Li Chuhan. She’s the director of cardiology at a famous hospital in the country @Lingyun Group @Chaoyang Group @Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University @Didi Chuxing.]

Other than that, there were also photos of the three of them below. They were clearly shown and there was no room for denial.

This news was something that no one present had expected.

They had thought that Muddy Waters would attack the two companies, but he did not expect them to personally target Lin Yi.

Muddy Waters did this because they did not find anything on the two companies, so they were forced to change their direction.

“This Muddy Waters is too despicable. They actually dare to release such fake news!”

Although He Yuanyuan usually said that Lin Yi was a scumbag, she started to protect him at this moment.

This was a matter between him and her senior sister. Outsiders should not interfere.

“Right? This is too fake,” Qi Xianzhao said. “I’ll get the legal department to send them a lawyer’s letter now. This is a personal attack!”

“There’s no need for that. There’s no need for you to kick up such a big fuss,” said Ji Qingyan.

“Lin Yi and I are just ordinary friends. We’re just a little closer than usual. It’s not what you think. I’ll get Chaoyang Group’s public relations department to clarify this. The rumors will collapse on their own.”

“Senior Sister, there’s no need to do this. This is all slander. You don’t have to be so unreasonable. You don’t have to believe them.”

“I know what I’m doing. Let’s deal with the matter at hand first.” Ji Qingyan’s expression remained unchanged as she continued flipping through the news.

Ji Qingyan kept saying that she had nothing to do with Lin Yi.

However, everyone present knew that she was the lady boss of Lingyun Group.

Otherwise, no one would have let her sit on the main seat at this critical moment.

[The President of Lingyun Group Beats Beiqiao Town Villagers.]

[Violent Incident, Lin Yi Stabbed Two Rich Young Masters, and He’s Still at Large.]

[LinYi Arranged for His Girlfriend to Be Viciously Demolished. The Impact Is Extremely Bad.]

The four consecutive trending topics were like four claps of thunder, catching everyone in the office off guard.

Any one of these could bring irreparable losses to Didi.

It was also at this moment that everyone realized how terrifying Muddy Waters really was.

They were now even more certain that Zhao Mo really wanted to kill Lin Yi!

“I’ll get the PR department to handle the first and fourth pieces of news. As long as they produce the relevant documents, they’ll collapse on their own,” Ji Qingyan said calmly.

“But the second and third ones are harder to deal with. They’re both violent incidences.”

“Think of a way to get a fake medical record for Lin Yi. Show them that Zhao Zhengyang and Fan Qinan weren’t the only ones injured. Make them believe that Lin Yi was also seriously injured.”

“As for the second trending topic, just say that the person Lin Yi hit was a tycoon in that town. That way, he can restore his image.”

“Got it, Senior Sister.”

Her quick thinking allowed Cheng Shuang and Tian Yan to see another side of her.

No wonder Boss Lin took a liking to her and gave her the title of his real girlfriend.

Her ability was really not to be underestimated.

“Senior Sister, why are you leaving?”

Seeing Ji Qingyan stand up with her bag, He Yuanyuan chased after her and asked.

“I have to go back to the office and deal with the public relations problem. You guys can handle the rest.”

“It’s just a small matter. You can just make a call to arrange it. There’s no need to go back personally to handle it.”

Ji Qingyan exhaled heavily. “I’m afraid that they won’t be able to do it that well. I’ll go back and oversee it.”

With that, she left the office without another word.

He Yuanyuan did not feel good. Her senior sister must be feeling terrible right now.
