Chapter 202: You’re Leeching off Popularity

Translator: Zayn_

Just as Song Qingyou had expected, there were doubts within the company.

More and more people felt that the public opinion was very unfavorable to the company and that the company should make its stance clear to avoid the conflict from intensifying.

This action was to temporarily remove Jiang Zhihan from his position as CEO and suspend all his work!

Jiang Zhihan was the one who was blamed for the accident of an employee in the Planning Department.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the word “temporary” clearly meant permanent.

However, when the public mentioned Jiang Zhihan, those who wanted to defend him couldn’t refute that Jiang Zhihan had nothing to do with this.

Seeing how the public was so agitated that they wanted to put Jiang Zhihan, the “culprit,” on a pyre and light a fire, just like in ancient times, Song Qingyou deliberated for a while. Before Fang Yan’s message came out, she posted on Weibo:

[@Song Qingyou: Before the truth is revealed, you have already made a conclusion. May 1 ask some people, where is the bottom line for media workers? Also, no matter how rich the person who was exposed online was, it was still an internet exposure.]

At this time, even the celebrities who endorsed the products under the Jiangyuan Corporation would remain silent to avoid being remembered by the public.

No one expected Song Qingyou to suddenly speak up.

From the content of her Weibo post, it seemed like she was on Jiang Zhihan’s side.

The first reaction of people inside and outside the industry when they saw this was, without exception:

‘Is Song Qingyou crazy?1

Not long after the post was sent out, Song Qingyou’s tens of millions of fans started to drop like crazy.

Even her fans couldn’t understand why Song Qingyou would want to get involved in this mess. Could it be that Song Qingyou had an ambiguous relationship with the higher-ups of the Jiangyuan Corporation?

[ I originally wanted to question Song Qingyou’s manager and ask her why she let Song Qingyou post such a Weibo post, but then 1 remembered that Song Qingyou is now her own boss, so it’s fine. I’ll just withdraw.]

[Is this the mutual appreciation between CEOs? Did Song Qingyou start a company and think that she should be thinking from the perspective of the Jiangyuan Corporation?]

[ Whether it’s to attract attention or if you really think so, I’m just a worker. I just can’t stand you guys! I’m no longer a fan! I won’t go back to the pit! ]

[Song Qingyou, just wait for your demise :)]

The online denouncement of Jiang Zhihan and the Jiangyuan Corporation had already entered a white-hot stage.

Now that Song Qingyou had suddenly jumped out, it was simply another way for them to vent their anger. It was no different from becoming a new target!

At the same time, after Jiang Zhihan avoided Chen Lan, he saw Song Qingyou’s Weibo post.

There were many celebrities and public figures who had worked with the Jiangyuan Corporation.

But among these people, only Song Qingyou stood up without a care.

Jiang Zhihan almost lost control of himself as he typed a message to Fang Yan.

But he couldn’t.

This was because Fang Yan had been reporting the progress of the incident to him. From time to time, he would send a message asking if he had woken up. If he had woken up, he would have to appear.

He was still a cat, how could he show up?

Jiang Zhihan tried the method he used two days ago. He kept thinking about turning back into a human, but it didn’t work.

Thinking about it, Song Qingyou becoming a 50th ranked artist only gave him 24 hours to recover…

Jiang Zhihan looked at the latest message from Fang Yan coldly.

[ I’ve already sent someone to investigate Cao Manli. There should be results soon.]

He thought that if the investigation on Cao Manli was fruitless, or if the marriage was different from what they had expected, he would confess to Fang Yan about the “cat transformation”.

No matter what, he couldn’t let Song Qingyou get scolded as well.

While he was thinking about this, Chen Lan, who was separated by a wall, was already mumbling.

Her words implied that Song Qingyou shouldn’t be so impulsive.

“Qingyou, were you a infected with a love virus?”

Song Qingyou, who was busy investigating Cao Manli with “improper” methods, said,” What love virus? What is Sister Lan talking about?”

“So you didn’t listen to what I said just now?”

The corner of Chen Lan’s mouth twitched. She steeled her heart and said bluntly, “I’m asking you if you like Mr. Jiang. Do you like him so much that you can’t help yourself?”

“Otherwise, why are you meddling in other people’s business? The Jiangyuan Corporation was such a big company. Could it be that it couldn’t even solve such a small problem? Even if it can’t be solved, how can it be your turn to take action if it can’t even be handled by Mr. Jiang?”

Jiang Zhihan’s cat ears twitched and straightened up. He was worried that he couldn’t hear the voice on the other end of the phone. When he realized what was going on, he was already standing at the door.

The answer came from the other end of the phone.

“What does this have to do with whether I like Jiang Zhihan or not?”

“I treat him as a friend. I don’t want to lose him as a partner.”

“Come on, what kind of partnership can you have?” Chen Lan pouted. “Isn’t it just a gambling agreement?”

She couldn’t be bothered to say anything. After confirming that Song Qingyou wouldn’t delete the post, she hung up.

When she turned around, she realized that Zhizhi, who should be playing catching fish in the office, had run out.

“Your master is really a troublemaker, don’t you think so?” Chen Lan complained to the cat.

Jiang Zhihan didn’t say anything.

When he heard Song Qingyou say she treated him as a friend, he should have been happy, but for some reason, he felt a sense of loss.

“You’re just a cat anyway. You definitely won’t be able to feel it…” Chen Lan continued when she saw that the cat had no reaction.

“But if your master is in love, she might not keep bringing you around. Zhizhi, you’re going to lose favor!”

As she spoke, she reached out to hug the cat.

Jiang Zhihan immediately dodged and ran into the office.

He thought about what Chen Lan had said. If Song Qingyou began dating someone else and he hadn’t changed back…

When he thought of that scene, every strand of cat fur on his body was filled with rejection!

That night.

Fang Yan was busy investigating, and Song Qingyou was no exception.

She had also found something incredible in Cao Manli’s chat records.

Song Qingyou saved the more important content and lay down in relief, preparing to tell Fang Yan the good news tomorrow morning.

There was no longer the sound of the keyboard in the dormitory room, and it instantly fell silent.

It was the exact opposite on the Internet.

Because Song Qingyou suddenly spoke up for the Jiangyuan Corporation, many people speculated that she had a relationship with the higher-ups of the Jiangyuan Corporation, which caused many media outlets to dig deeper into the relationship between the two.

They did not expect that they would really dig up something.

For example, Song Qingyou, Yu Muhuai, and Jiang Xuyan had all appeared near the Jiangyuan Corporation during this period of time.

Thinking back to the trailer of the All-Class Challenge, they quickly came to a conclusion:

The second episode was being filmed at Jiangyuan Corporation!

Before the news of the sudden death of an employee came out, perhaps everyone would sigh.’ What kind of luck did Wei Zhengrong have to be able to arrange a recording in such a big company?

After the incident came out, however, even the program “All-Class Challenge” was criticized and cursed by the angry crowd for no reason..
