After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight
Chapter 100 The Rumors
Storm is coming: Su Li's breathing seemed to stop at that moment, and the words on the phone screen became blurred, but the photo was deeply imprinted in her mind like a branding iron. She had a vague impression of the woman in the photo, who seemed to be a well-known artist in the entertainment industry.
Various speculations and discussions were raging on the Internet, with netizens turning into Sherlock Holmes, digging for clues about Gu Jinyan and the female artist. Soon, more "evidence" was dug up, showing that the two had interacted on Weibo and seemed to exchange glances when attending events.
At this time, the actress in the scandal, in an interview for the film promotion, faced the reporter's questioning, and did not deny it. Instead, she said meaningfully: "Mr. Gu and I did have a good memory."
This statement undoubtedly poured fuel on the already boiling public opinion, instantly setting off the entire network. As a listed company, the private life of the head of Gujia Company naturally became the focus of public attention. For a time, all kinds of negative reports were overwhelming, and the stock price of Gujia Company fell, even affecting some cooperative projects.
Su Li looked at all this and felt exhausted, as if she was trapped in a boat in a storm, drifting helplessly. She didn't know whether this was a carefully planned conspiracy, or whether it was true as the female artist said that Gu Jinyan had a secret relationship.
She slowly walked to the window, looking at the gray sky outside, and the fog in her heart became thicker and thicker. She remembered that Gu Jinyan once said that he would handle everything, but now he was caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, and she could do nothing.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. Su Li took a deep breath, turned around, and tried to make herself look calmer, "Come in."
"Madam, the PR department wants to have a meeting with you to discuss..."
Su Li looked at the slightly flustered PR manager in front of her and nodded gently, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
After saying that, she picked up her phone. The glaring candid photo on the screen seemed to be mocking her powerlessness and naivety.
Su Li's finger gently slid across the screen, finally stopping on the "Dial" button...
The public relations department's meeting room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and everyone had a serious look on their face.
"The current situation is not favorable to us," the PR manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, "the public opinion on the Internet is one-sided, and we don't have enough evidence to prove Mr. Gu's innocence."
"Should we let the situation continue like this?" someone questioned. "The company's stock price has already been affected. If it continues like this, the consequences will be disastrous!"
"But what can we do now?" the PR manager weakly retorted, "The female artist's words are so certain, we can't just say she's spreading rumors without any evidence, right? Without evidence, any statement will only make things worse!"
The conference room fell silent again. Everyone was racking their brains for countermeasures, but could not find an effective breakthrough.
At the same time, more and more reporters and fans gathered under the Gu Group building. They held up cameras and banners and surrounded the company's gate.
"Gu Jinyan, come out and explain yourself!"
"Give us justice!"
Angry roars rang out one after another, the situation was out of control at one point, and some fanatical fans even tried to break through the security line and rush into the company.
Su Li stood in front of the French window in the office, looking at the chaotic scene downstairs, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that Gu Jinyan must be more worried than anyone else at this moment, but she could not help him at all.
"Madam, don't you want to go and take a look?" the servant beside her asked worriedly.
Su Li shook her head, turned back to her desk, picked up her phone, and the glaring candid photo on the screen seemed to be mocking her helplessness.
"No, I want to find the truth myself."
She clicked on the gossip heroine's social account and carefully read through the photos and updates one by one. Suddenly, her eyes stopped on one of the photos. It was a landscape photo, and the background seemed familiar...
Su Li's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She turned on the computer and started searching and comparing...
"It's true!" Su Li stood up excitedly. She finally found a breakthrough. "The location where this photo was taken..."
Su Li took a deep breath, suppressed her inner excitement, and called the public relations manager. "Come to my office immediately and bring all the information about the heroine in the scandal." Her tone left no room for doubt.
In less than ten minutes, the PR manager came rushing over with a thick stack of folders in his hands. "Madam, all the information you requested is here."
"Don't be so nervous," Su Li motioned him to put the information on the table, "Sit down first."
The PR manager sat on the sofa uneasily, secretly looking at Su Li. Ever since the eldest daughter of the Su family married into the Gu family, she has always kept a low profile. She is rarely seen in the company, let alone intervening in the company's affairs. What happened today?
Su Li ignored his doubts and walked straight to the desk, picked up the printed photo, and handed it to him. "Take a closer look at this photo. Do you find anything?"
The PR manager took the photo and looked at it carefully. In the photo, the scandal heroine was standing in front of a sea of flowers with a bright smile. The background was a blue sky with white clouds. It looked like just an ordinary travel photo.
"Is there something wrong with this photo?" he asked puzzledly.
"Look more carefully at the buildings in the background." Su Li reminded.
Upon hearing this, the PR manager quickly enlarged the photo and observed it carefully. This time, he finally found a clue. "This...isn't this the Genting Highlands Villa on the outskirts of the city?"
"That's right," Su Li nodded, "I remember that Yunding Villa is..."
"It's an industry under the Zhao Group!" The public relations manager answered first, his face suddenly turned ugly. The Zhao Group is the biggest competitor of the Gu Group in the industry. The two companies have been fighting openly and secretly, and neither of them has given in.
"It seems that this scandal is not simple..." Su Li said meaningfully, with a gleam in her eyes, "Go check whether this female artist has had any contact with anyone from the Zhao Group recently."
"Yes, I'll check it right away!" The public relations manager immediately stood up and walked out of the office quickly.
Su Li walked to the French window, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and murmured to herself: "This storm may have just begun..." She picked up her cell phone and dialed a number, "Help me find someone..."
