“Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng, what should I do? Sister Andy is being cyberbullied.”
“I called her, but the line is busy again.”
Guan Juer's tone was urgent, but her voice was very low.
Chen Cheng laughed, annoyed. Guan Juer was probably in a toilet stall again.
Every time she lowered her voice to speak, she was either in a toilet stall or a phone booth at the office.
This girl was too soft-hearted; she didn't even dare to speak loudly.
“Don't worry, I already know. I was the one calling Andy just now.”
“Oh, oh~” Guan Juer realized.
Chen Cheng thought for a moment, “Baby, you should go to Andy's company and find her. You don't need to say anything, just stay with her.”
It would take Chen Cheng a while to get there, and it was the evening rush hour; it would probably take half an hour in traffic.
Guan Juer glanced at her watch, feeling troubled, “But I haven't finished work yet.”
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, a wicked smile on his face, “It doesn't matter if you skip work occasionally.”
This girl was too honest and lacked her own opinions. Chen Cheng still wanted to guide her to change this soft nature.
“Buddhas choose good people to suffer, ghosts pick the weak to possess.”
People, you can't be too soft-hearted. If you can't endure hardship, you'll be the one suffering.
No matter what you do in a company, you cannot be a pushover. Otherwise, all the hard and tiring work will be yours, you won't get any credit, and you'll end up taking the blame.
Chen Cheng didn't want Guan Juer to be bullied, so he had to gradually nudge her to change her personality.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Chen Cheng pushed further, “Why don't you talk to Yin Yue and the others, and ask them to cover for you?”
Guan Juer thought about her relationship with Yin Yue and Gu Juan, “Alright then, I'll go talk to Sister Yue in a moment.”
Ever since witnessing Chen Cheng's capability, these two now liked to bring Guan Juer along when eating and shopping, like good ‘besties’.
Guan Juer couldn't detect any problems, but Chen Cheng knew exactly what they were thinking. However, he didn't mind; after all, they didn't have bad intentions.
The two hung up. Guan Juer took two breaths to calm her anxious heart.
She walked back to the office, tiptoed to Yin Yue's desk, and gently tugged her arm.
Yin Yue turned around and looked at Guan Juer blankly, “What's wrong, Xiao Guan?”
Guan Juer thought for a moment, leaned over, and whispered a few words in Yin Yue's ear.
Yin Yue didn't hesitate after hearing it and nodded, “Go ahead, I'll cover for you with Manager Xu.”
Guan Juer gave Yin Yue a grateful look, “Thank you, Sister Yue, then I...”
Yin Yue also had no temper towards her soft personality, smiled, and pushed her, “Go.”
Guan Juer smiled awkwardly, returned to her desk to pack her bag, and left the office.
About ten minutes later, Guan Juer arrived at the building where Company name was located.
Guan Juer walked to the front desk timidly and said: “Hello, I'm looking for Andy.”
Receptionist: “Do you have an appointment?”
Guan Juer shook her head in embarrassment, thought for a moment, and said: “No, I'm her neighbor, I have something to talk to her about.”
“Could you please call her office for me? My name is Guan Juer.”
The receptionist looked at her gossiping, picked up the phone, and called Andy's office.
Seeing the receptionist's expression as she sized her up, Guan Juer knew that this matter had spread in Andy's company.
A short while later, after receiving instructions, she was led to Andy's office.
Seeing Guan Juer come in, Andy forced a smile, “Xiao Guan, why are you here?”
“I saw the news online just now, wanted to call you, but couldn't get through, so I called Chen Cheng,” Guan Juer looked at Andy with concern, “Andy, are you okay?”
Andy realized, smiled, and shook her head, “I'm fine, the innocent don't need to explain.”
“Did Chen Cheng tell you to come keep me company?”
Guan Juer nodded, “Yes, Brother Cheng said to let me come over first, and he'll come to pick us up in a while.”
“He also told me to tell you not to drive your car for now.”
Mentioning Chen Cheng, a smile rose on Andy's lips, “Okay, then we'll wait for him to pick us up.”
“Do you want to drink something? I'll have my secretary pour it for you.”
“No need,” Guan Juer shook her head, “Sister Andy, you go do your work, don't worry about me.”
She smiled, “I'm just here to keep you company.”
“Brother Cheng said this would make you feel more secure. Hehe~”
Seeing Guan Juer's shy smile, Andy felt a pang of self-reproach, nodded awkwardly, “Alright then, make yourself at home, I still have some things to deal with.”
Guan Juer walked to the window, looked around, sat back on the sofa, and took out her phone to send a green bubble message to Chen Cheng.
Chen Cheng waited for Karen's message for a while and searched for Singularity on Baidu.
When Chen Cheng arrived downstairs at Company name, Karen's message had already arrived.
Chen Cheng took a look and replied to the message.
Karen looked at the boss's message and grinned wickedly. She picked up her phone and sent instructions to X.
X looked at the message and turned off the phone expressionlessly.
He tapped on the keyboard and sent a QQ message to someone named Hammer, “First, describe the cause and effect of the matter in the form of a leak.”
“Build up the netizens' appetite.”
[Hammer: Understood.]
[Hammer: Brother, when can I get the final payment?]
[X: Once your leak reaches enough attention, you will naturally receive the final payment]
[Hammer: Just you wait and see.]
Exiting the chat with Hammer, X switched to Little Blue Bird and sent a message to someone named Shadow.
“According to the outline I gave you, write the story of this woman as a serialized short story and post it online.”
“I reckon you can still ride this wave of heat to scam some manuscript fees.”
X found a few more people who write short stories, same outline, different people writing it; as long as the writers aren't stupid, they will automatically coordinate. It doesn't matter if it gets messy; that makes it more realistic.
...
To be honest, this matter made Chen Cheng somewhat angry.
Once rumors like this come out, no matter how you clarify them, you can't completely get rid of them.
People are only willing to see what they want to see, just looking for fun; who cares about your solemn statement?
Conventional methods cannot solve rumors, so Chen Cheng chose to fight poison with poison.
Let this matter become a joke. The spread must be wide enough; the fun lies in letting everyone know it's a rumor.
It must also make everyone understand that this woman failed to spread rumors and kicked a steel plate.
Only then will no one remember the rumor, only the joke.
Chen Cheng called Guan Juer and Andy downstairs.
The two got into the car, and Chen Cheng signaled Eleven to drive.
He asked: “If no one had told me about this, were you planning not to tell me?”
Chen Cheng's tone was somewhat reproachful; Andy's face was a bit awkward, “I thought that after a while, no one would pay attention to this.”
Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her, “It's obviously organized and premeditated; how could they just give up without achieving their goal?”
Guan Juer was indignant, “Who is so bad, actually doing such a thing to smear someone's reputation?”
Chen Cheng tapped Guan Juer's forehead dotingly, “You, you're so civilized even when scolding people.”
“I don't know how to,” Guan Juer pouted.
Andy was also amused by Guan Juer's cute appearance.
Chen Cheng asked Andy, “How did Company name's public relations department arrange it?”
“They will issue a PR release and a lawyer's letter later.”
Chen Cheng nodded. Although a solemn statement has no influence, it represents the attitude of Company name.
If there were no such attitude, the outside world would suspect that it was true, and Company name would find it hard to explain anything.
As the three were chatting, Andy's phone rang.
Andy picked up the phone, looked at it, and looked at Chen Cheng, “It's Singularity.”
