With the capabilities of the Xu Family, it wouldn’t be difficult to find out who is behind manipulating the trending searches.
Xu Nianying watched the trending topics that couldn’t be suppressed no matter what, so anxious that he couldn’t sleep for two days. His dad nearly shouted the phone to pieces.
What’s the use of shouting at him? If you have the guts, go shout at the Zhou Family!
Xu Nianying didn’t dare say this out loud; voicing it would not only earn him a scolding when he got ho but also a punishnt to kneel.
He had no choice but to call Zhou Jinyuan.
Inside the hotel, Zhou Jinyuan was sitting on the sofa, opened the laptop on the table, and spoke with a relaxed tone: "Why isn’t it appropriate? You’ve done such a great thing, as a good brother it’s only right that I help you promote it with great fanfare, if you’re calling specifically to thank , I wouldn’t mind if you deposit so more money into my account, or simply reimburse for the cost of buying the trending searches."
Xu Nianying: "???" Are you even listening to yourself?
He was made to trend for two days and nights, raising his fa. The higher his fa, the more furious the Bai Family would get. Other than rapidly aggravating tensions between the two families, there was no benefit to him at all.
And Zhou Jinyuan even had the audacity to openly suggest him to reimburse by transferring money?
Xu Nianying gritted his teeth, trying to speak in a calm and collected manner: "Don’t you know this could offend people? And yet you’re spreading it around."
Zhou Jinyuan slightly raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? Offend? Could it be that there’s so shady deal between you two that can’t stand the light? Then I must issue a statent to clarify right away.
How should I clarify? ... I’ll just say that the trending searches these past two days were all my doing, sorry to offend any of Xu Family’s partners?"
His tone was casual, yet not a single word was pleasant to hear.
Xu Nianying was so angry he almost crushed his teeth.
Such a clarification would be worse than no clarification at all. If clarified, the illegitimate relationship between Haisong Group and the Bai Family would be made public, and wouldn’t the Xu Family be investigated?
After that, no one would dare to cooperate with them ever again.
Plus, the trending topic that almost shot him up to the sky over two days, he himself felt a headache just thinking about the backlash effect.
And now the online buzz was so heated, not even his own personal clarification would work.
People from Zhou Jinyuan’s side were too good at guiding public opinion, no matter what he said, they could always find a loophole to hype him up, even ntioning there was related evidence.
The most important thing was that clarification wasn’t much use at this point.
Because over these two days he had soone investigate the matter of the Bai Family being targeted, and indeed Xu Mu was involved, and Xu Mu even righteously claid he was acting under his orders, leaving him with no room to argue.
Xu Mu was also from the Xu Family, and the relationship was definitely inextricable, so now it wasn’t about a clarification anymore.
The matter had already been solidified at the Bai Family’s end.
Currently, the most critical thing was to solve the problem, otherwise, the Xu Family might have a hard ti getting through this.
As for Xu Mu screwing up and putting the bla on him, once the storm settles, he definitely won’t let Xu Mu off the hook!
Xu Nianying: "Whether there’s cooperation or not, one can’t simply ruin another’s business."
Even though Zhou Jinyuan could find out the relationship between his family and the Bai Family, he couldn’t admit it openly, he couldn’t give others the opportunity to gloat over their misfortune.
Zhou Jinyuan leaned back on the sofa, legs crossed, and snickered: "What business does a fraud ring run? I thought you really wanted to represent Haisong Group and do so good, and that’s why I promoted it. Since I misunderstood, then I’ll clarify to avoid trouble for your family."
Xu Nianying quickly interjected: "Don’t! Don’t clarify, just don’t get involved!"
Xu Nianying had a premonition that Zhou Jinyuan would only make things ssier.
Zhou Jinyuan was silent for a few seconds and did not respond imdiately.
Xu Nianying didn’t hear a response and felt extrely tornted.
Zhou Jinyuan wasn’t really intending to make things worse for him, was he?
Xu Nianying hastily added, "Last ti you reported on our family’s territory, I didn’t pursue the matter with you."
Zhou Jinyuan spoke unhurriedly, "That incident last ti, didn’t your company clarify that it had nothing to do with your family? How co it’s your family’s territory again?"
Xu Nianying, realizing he had misspoken in his haste, quickly corrected himself, "It’s not my family’s territory, but it still brought negative impact to our family. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have run off to Tian Nan City to do charity work. I didn’t go after you for that, out of consideration for our brotherhood."
Zhou Jinyuan said, "I haven’t even approached you to reap any benefits. If I hadn’t helped your family find such a big flaw earlier, who knows how much more difficult it would have been to control later on. You should thank ."
"???"
How co Xu Nianying feels if this conversation goes on any longer, he’ll need to kowtow and treat Zhou Jinyuan as his lifesaver?
How could Zhou Jinyuan brazenly say such things?
Xu Nianying sighed heavily, lit a cigarette, and planted it at the corner of his mouth, asking irritably, "Just tell how you can let off the hook?"
From reporting to intensifying conflicts, one thing after another, he felt that if he didn’t clarify things with Zhou Jinyuan now, he would never have peace in the future.
Zhou Jinyuan said, "Simple, that factory I ntioned before, just tell all the inside information you know, honestly."
Xu Nianying took a drag of his cigarette, slowly calming down, and said with composure, "What I know is the sa as what you’ve found... and I was also a victim at the ti. How could I have known the specifics given how young I was? If you want to know, ask Chen Xixi. Their family is the culprit and definitely knows it all."
"You’re a victim?" Zhou Jinyuan’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Xu Nianying said, "Yes, so don’t let love and a beautiful woman blind your eyes. I, your good brother, am the real victim here. I didn’t make a move on Chen Xixi, all out of respect for you, otherwise do you think her work would be going so smoothly now?"
Zhou Jinyuan said, "The process."
Xu Nianying stayed silent for a while, as if recalling sothing unpleasant. After a mont, he sighed and spoke with complexity in his voice, "Chen Xixi’s dad had soone kidnap , but my dad never told anyone, so not many people know."
Zhou Jinyuan didn’t say anything, and Xu Nianying continued, "Look how pitiful I am, being hard yet not holding it against Chen Xixi out of respect for you. Can’t you also not let a woman co between our brotherhood?"
A few seconds later, Zhou Jinyuan’s emotionless voice ca through the phone, "I’ve spent so much money on publicizing you, all real silver and gold."
"Since when did you care about that little amount of money?"
"A two-day and two-night marathon is not a small sum."
Seeing a glimr of hope, Xu Nianying hurriedly said, "I’ll reimburse you; I’ll pay okay?"
"You know the account."
"..." Damn it, he’s the one being swindled, yet he has to reimburse Zhou Jinyuan? What kind of nonsense is this?
But if it would completely get Zhou Jinyuan off his back, spending that bit of money was nothing.
...
On Chen Xixi’s side.
After thinking for a bit, she sent another ssage to Zhou Jinyuan: "Hanging up for so long must have cost quite a bit, right?"
Taking advantage without showing appreciation was not her style.
Although she might not be able to afford it, she could repay him in other ways.
A few minutes later, Zhou Jinyuan replied: "Xu Nianying will reimburse it."
Chen Xixi couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
While laughing, she typed: "President Zhou is impressive as always."
Right after sending the ssage, Zheng He’s deadly phone call ca.
Chen Xixi picked up, and through the earpiece, Zheng He’s aggrieved shouts rang out, "Chen Xixi! I thought you didn’t dare to answer my call! You big liar! Didn’t you say you were going to save ? Where are you!? Give back my money!"
