Chapter 235: Reversal of Public Remarks
Translator: EndLessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chi Tong was in the dark about Luo Yings breakup. He was nervous to know that Lu Zhao had released a public statement.
After all, their studio was no match for the might of the Luya Group. Luo Ying would be easily silenced if the Luya Group deliberately manipulated public opinion.
Not expecting a formal tone from the Luya Group, he was surprised to read what seemed to be “Our CEO doesn’t want a divorce!” between the lines. It was a subtle hint.
The director of public relations was particularly pleased with this piece because it was written in his preferred style.
After that, the Luya Group’s legal department’s account posted three lawyer letters in a row, threatening legal action against any and all marketing accounts that contributed to spreading false information about Luo Ying.
After reading the Luya Group’s declaration, Luo Ying, too, cracked a grin. “Lu Zhao wants to imply that I was the one who initiated the divorce. This will put an end to the talk that I’m not good enough for him and that he’s abandoned me.”
She went back to the office and settled back into her favorite chair.
Since Lu Zhao’s poison was curable, he had no interest in being ruled over by anyone else. While he might be unable to handle the marriage alliance right now, he had no trouble controlling public opinion.
That was the man that Luo Ying had taken a fancy to. How could she not be able to protect her lover?
“Boss, you are… Chi Tong hesitated for a moment. He didn’t want to pry into Luo Yings feelings, but since things had reached this level of publicity, he had to see to it.
“Divorced.” Luo Ying made a dismissive gesture. “It had been finalized. Just play along. The Luya Group has superior public relations. It’s silly not to put them to good use.”
“Alright.” Chi Tong agreed. “So, we should take a less active stance, perhaps by simply reposting their announcement?
Luo Ying nodded. “Allow the message to spread on its own and then quickly quash its popularity.”
“Alright.” After agreeing, Chi Tongbrought up another issue. “I got a response from the streamer you asked me to tip last time, Boss.”
“Oh?” It was Second Brother, Luo Ying recalled. “Seek out his whereabouts and make an appointment to meet with him.”
Luo Ying, after some consideration, said, “Right, use our studio’s computer to reply to him.”
Chi Tong was taken aback. It made no difference which device he used.
Chi Tong didn’t understand what was going on, but he trusted that Luo Ying had good reasons.
Luo Ying, on the other hand, was confident in the meticulous nature of her second brother. He wouldn’t meet a fan who had only tipped him over the internet. He might not believe Chi Tong if he said she was the one who initiated the meeting.
Even so, hackers were accustomed to looking at IP addresses. Things might change if he verified that the IP address he was communicating with was actually from Luo Yings studio.
Chi Tongs call was cut short as Luo Ying hung up to discuss the matter with her third brother.
Third Brother had previously told her he had news of Second Brother, but she had been too hearbroken to listen.
On the home front, Luo Yings studio Weibo capitalized on the announcement made by Luya Group before the netizens could even process the information.
And in stark contrast to the Luya Group’s long speech of a few hundred words, Luo Yings studio only had the words ‘I Repost Weibo hanging coldly.
The general public caught on quickly to this radical change in perspective. [I’m dying of laughter. The words of the Luya Group are so meek.]
[What’s the big deal? Sister Ying left Lu Zhao behind. It’s likely too late for Lu
Zhao to save the day.]
[No one can say for sure if Lu Zhao disappointed Sister Ying to the point where they split up or not. So what if it’s too late to feel regret?] [Three times he tried to contact his ex-wife to dispel the rumors.]
[She’s so cool! She even humbled someone like Lu Zhao.]
[Why not? Her fans love her. She is now completely independent of Lu Zhao, and she has just opened her own studio. She’s such a capable woman!]
Chi Tongs backstage operations quickly caught up, concealing the negative comments and highlighting the fans who defended Luo Yings statements.
Luya Group and Chi Tong worked together to quickly reverse the direction of users’ search queries.
In the next few days, other trending matters had taken over the algorithm. The news of Luo Yings divorce gradually faded from the headlines.
Even though the divorce farce was over, Luo Ying remained restless. After all, another thing that bothered her had been added to the schedule.
“3 p. m. , City F’s X Street Cafe.”
This was the latest transmission from Chi Tong.
Street X was right in the city center. Could it be that Second Brother was also overseas? Luo Ying fumbled with her phone as she flipped through its screen..
