Chapter 814: Taking the Opportunity to “Fish”

Editor: Henyee Translations

When An Nuo rushed to the company in a hurry and pushed open Murong Qiao’s office, she saw the other party flipping through the information in her hand without changing her expression. Beside her was a computer screen that was lit up. Clearly, it was filled with some public opinion about her on the Internet.

“You’re back.” Murong Qiao heard a sound at the door and looked up.

Seeing An Nuo standing in front of her and looking fine, Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.

She was not too worried about the things happening online. After all, the public relations team had tasked people to keep an eye on it. What really worried Murong Qiao was that some extreme fans might do something bad to An Nuo because of this.

Fortunately, the other party was still standing here unharmed, so Murong Qiao’s tone was a little more relaxed.

An Nuo nodded and walked to Murong Qiao’s side to take a look at the situation on the Internet.

At this moment, someone was leading the way, and the direction of the discussion was not very good. Their comments were almost all negative. An Nuo took a few casual glances and retracted her gaze.

“The photo is real, but I followed my mother’s wishes to go on a blind date that day. I didn’t expect to meet Murong Chen.”

Although An Nuo knew that Murong Qiao trusted her in her heart, she still had to explain.

After all, the matter had already blown up, and she didn’t want to implicate Murong Chen. Therefore, she frowned and wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Then, An Nuo told Murong Qiao about her actions and itinerary that day, including the accidental encounter with Murong Chen and the process of the other party helping her out.

“At that time, the place that person asked to meet me at was a restaurant that had always protected the privacy of their guests. I didn’t think too much about it and went.”

As An Nuo spoke, she voiced the doubts in her heart. “But when I came, I discussed it with my manager and felt that the place where the photo was taken must have been picked on purpose.”

She just didn’t know if this was because the other reporter had been waiting for big news there, or if it was specifically to target her.

An Nuo had yet to figure this out. Although she had told her manager a little when she came, it would still take some time for the results to come out.

“It doesn’t matter if it affects me. It’s normal for there to be a huge commotion in the entertainment industry from time to time, but I don’t want it to…”

An Nuo hesitated for a moment before saying what she wanted to say. “I don’t want to implicate others because of my problem.”

It was one thing to implicate the company, but the last thing she wanted was to implicate Murong Chen.

Although no one had posted his identity on the Internet yet, because the photo was too blurry and the direction of public opinion was almost all focused on her, they couldn’t tell anything now.

However, according to the netizens’ resourceful abilities, An Nuo felt that it was only a matter of time before he was dug out.

The concern in An Nuo’s tone made Murong Qiao look up at her twice, but she couldn’t help but feel a little gossipy.

“So—you haven’t confessed to my brother yet?” Murong Qiao suddenly asked. At this moment, she asked an inappropriate question.

An Nuo’s thoughts stopped because of the other party’s question.

She flushed slightly. “No.”

She shook her head honestly, but she received Murong Qiao’s exasperated expression.

“To think that I thought I would have a sister-in-law soon.” Murong Qiao sighed.

However, she didn’t change the topic for long. After a few words, she turned to business.

“You don’t have to worry about this for now. Just go home today. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on the situation. In addition, your manager is also watching.”

Murong Qiao and An Nuo’s ideas to calm the storm were the opposite of each other.

“I saw some of the rhythm on the Internet just now. I suspect that someone is deliberately behind this.” She pointed at the computer screen. Many new comments had appeared.

However, without exception, these people were all boycotting An Nuo. They even called for the others to join in, leading many passers-by who were originally watching to jeer.

After reading and realizing that they were all such comments, one should have realized that something was wrong.

“It’s only been more than two hours since the incident, but the rhythm is so uniform. I don’t think it’s a normal thing.”

Someone must have controlled the direction of the wind behind this public opinion. At the same time, they should have paid some accounts or used other methods to make the entire matter develop in the direction they wanted. However, Murong Qiao had yet to see through their intentions.

Murong Qiao told An Nuo her guess.

“We’ll deal with the changes by remaining unchanged. Let’s see what the other party wants to do before taking action.”

And what Murong Qiao wanted was to fish for a very big fish.

Coincidentally, she had been thinking that An Nuo’s life had been too smooth-sailing ever since she debuted and no one had targeted her.

She still felt a little strange. Just as such thoughts appeared in her mind, this happened.

It was a good opportunity to clean up the people who wanted to intentionally get involved in this messy situation. This would also save An Nuo from any other problems in the future.

Murong Qiao had always advocated to avoid future trouble. Such a thought process and style saved her a lot of trouble.

“Alright, I understand.” An Nuo also calmed down after hearing Murong Qiao’s words. After thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

She had always believed in Murong Qiao, not to mention that what she was doing this time was completely for her own good.

The two of them had only been talking for less than ten minutes when An Nuo walked out of Murong Qiao’s office.

However, her mood was different from when she came in a hurry. At this moment, she was a little calm and pondering.

However, the popularity of this matter on the Internet was still rising. It even showed signs of entering the trending list and was seen by more people.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

Many people would choose to turn on their cell phones and surf the Internet during their lunch break to see if there were any new melons to eat. Coincidentally, the relevant content was pushed to the top at one o’clock.

Many people who liked to read gossip chose to click on it.

“Isn’t this the female lead from the television drama I watched previously? I quite like her.”

“From the looks of her, could she be relying on a sugar daddy? The other party is either rich or noble at a glance.”

“In my opinion, there’s no such thing as a truly pure person in the entertainment industry. One or two of them must be taking “shortcuts”…”

Whispers happened behind the jewelry counter. The two employees were holding their phones and exchanging their thoughts from time to time. A knowing expression appeared on their faces.

“She’s so good-looking and rose so quickly. She started as a female lead the moment she debuted. Needless to say… everyone knows this, right?”

“But she looks like a rich young lady. Why would she do such a thing…?”

“You don’t know this, right? Even if she’s a rich young lady, she’s still vain. What’s wrong with wanting to climb up?”

“In my opinion, she probably used some improper methods to seize the female lead role the moment she debuted.”

Sometimes, even unrelated people through the screen would judge the actions of another person with endless malice. Even if they didn’t have any evidence, they could utter a bunch of slander as soon as they opened their mouths.

It was clearly just a blurry photo. Even before the person involved came out to explain the situation and the truth, countless versions were already produced.

The conversation between the two shop assistants ended a few minutes later with a customer entering the shop..
