Liu Yue coughed lightly into his fist and said, “Ms. Tang, you know, the impact of public opinion on our company from the internet is significant. It’s better for me to go in and discuss the situation with President Mei personally. This matter is urgent; delaying it further may lead to irreparable consequences.”

Tang Mei stepped up, blocking his path and saying firmly, “President Mei is very busy right now. Please return, Director Liu. If President Mei has any new instructions, I’ll make sure to convey them to you promptly.”

A hint of displeasure flashed in Liu Yue’s eyes, but he quickly concealed it, “Alright then. Please inform President Mei that if we allow this situation to escalate online, it will greatly damage the company’s reputation and may reach a point of no return!”

“Is that what he said?” Mei Shu asked as she sipped the yogurt Jiang He had bought, chatting with Tang Mei via video call.

Tang Mei replied, “President Mei, could it be that Director Liu is just being overly worried, so he made a mistaken judgment? He has been with the company for so many years without any issues!”

“That was in the past,” Mei Shu set down the yogurt, “You said it yourself, he never had any problems before. So why is it that during such a big issue, he keeps coming up with bad ideas and seems so eager for me to implement them?”

Tang Mei pondered for a moment before saying, “Alright, President Mei, I will continue investigating and get back to you as soon as possible.”

“Good,” Mei Shu hung up the call and glanced at Jiang He, who stood nearby looking hesitant, unable to speak. Mei Shu couldn’t help but smile, “What’s the matter?”

“Master Si said you haven’t replied to his messages and asked what you were doing,” Jiang He muttered softly.

Mei Shu remembered the impulsive question she had asked, feeling a flush of embarrassment and irritation, “I’m lying in the hospital, what else can I do? Didn’t he ask you to keep an eye on me? Can I run away?”

Sensing her anger, Jiang He nervously swallowed, “Miss Mei, maybe you should send Master Si a message. Otherwise, he might not be able to focus on his work!”

Mei Shu picked up her phone and casually reported on the doctor’s examination results. As expected, Lu Si replied instantly.

Jiang He stole a glance at her expression, carefully opened another box of yogurt, and offered it to her. “It’s good for you to drink more. Let me know if you want anything else, and I’ll buy it for you right away!”

Mei Shu took the yogurt he offered, her expression softening, “Thank you, but you should find somewhere to rest. I need to start working.”

“Yes,” Jiang He quickly sat down on the sofa, sitting up straight, ready to be at her service at any time.

Ignoring him, Mei Shu opened her phone and began to check the current online public opinion.

Several trending topics from last night had been removed, with only the one about the Ruan family being taken down. However, the discussion about the mistakes made by the Mei family was gaining momentum. Mei Shu was sure there were people behind this, fanning the flames.

But fortunately, she had ample evidence, and this situation wasn’t difficult to handle.

She scrolled through various opinions and viewpoints online, quickly noticing an account that had consistently spoken in favor of her and the company.

The account was named “Xiao Tang.”

Mei Shu didn’t need to think twice to know who it was.

She couldn’t help but chuckle.

Tang Mei was really dedicated to the company. Even if Mei Shu instructed her to ignore online public opinion, she couldn’t resist creating a fake account to argue with those who were just there to watch the show.

Mei Shu observed the timing of several posts and calculated Tang Mei’s busy schedule last night. It seemed she hadn’t slept all night, which explained why she looked so tired this morning.

I wonder if she managed to get some rest.

With that thought, Mei Shu called Tang Mei, but Tang Mei’s phone was continuously busy.

Perhaps she was busy investigating Liu Yue’s matter?

Mei Shu didn’t think much of it.

Little did she know, Tang Mei was currently rushing home, answering the phone while on her way.

Liu Yue, who had been casually chatting with the receptionist on the ground floor, became curious seeing Tang Mei’s hurried appearance. He discreetly followed her.

Tang Mei lived in an old residential complex without surveillance cameras. Each building was only five stories tall, but fortunately, the residents here were very hygienic, and apart from being a bit old, the residential community didn’t have any other problems.

Tang Mei hurried upstairs, unlocked her front door with her keys, and immediately heard a cry from inside.

“Xiao Mei!” Tang Mei’s mother had tears streaming down her face, desperately shaking her head at Tang Mei.

“Mom!” Tang Mei rushed over, so anxious that she forgot to close the door.

But before she could reach her mother, Tang Long, who had heard movement, stood up from the sofa, holding a fruit knife in his hand, pressing it against his own mother’s neck. “Sis, you finally came back.”

“Tang Long, are you crazy? That’s Mom! Put the knife down!” Tang Mei shouted at him desperately.

But Tang Long remained unmoved, a wicked smile playing at his lips. “Sis, did you steal my medical report?”

“What medical report? I don’t know! Did you go for an injury examination behind my back?” Tang Mei pretended to be unaware, her eyes fixed on the fruit knife.
