After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight
Chapter 191 Public opinion wins gold
"Breaking news! Gu's Group may marry Lin's enterprise. Who will this powerful alliance target?" The eye-catching headline occupied the front page of the financial website. As soon as the news came out, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up thousands of waves. Gu's Group's stock price fluctuated after the news was announced. Although it rose after the opening, the market reaction was generally cautious. It was obvious that investors were taking a wait-and-see attitude towards this marriage.
The media reporters with keen sense of smell heard the news and rushed to the Gu family's old house to try to get more details about the marriage. For a while, the Gu family's old house was surrounded by long guns and short guns, flash lights flashed non-stop, and reporters shouted Su Li and Gu Jinyan's names loudly, trying to get their response.
"Mr. Gu, have you set a date for your wedding with the daughter of the Lin family?"
"Miss Su, what do you think of this marriage?"
"Mr. Gu, will you give up your current marriage for the benefit of your family?"
The reporters' questions were more pointed than the last, and they wanted to rush into the Gu family's old house to find out what was going on. Inside the Gu family's old house, Su Li watched the news scrolling on the TV screen with a frown on her face. She originally thought that this was just a discussion within the family, but she didn't expect it to cause a stir in the city and even affect the stock price of the Gu Group.
Gu Jinyan's face was also very gloomy. He didn't expect the news to leak out so quickly and be exaggerated by the media. He held the phone tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his grandfather's last words on the phone kept echoing in his mind: "Jinyan, remember that you are a descendant of the Gu family. You shoulder the future of the entire family."
At this moment, a family consultant hurried into the living room and said in a serious tone, "Sir, Madam, the situation is very unfavorable to us now. The media hype has already had a certain negative impact on the company. We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinyan's phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. He hesitated for a moment and answered the call.
"Hello, is this Mr. Gu Jinyan?" A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, "About your marriage with the daughter of the Lin family..."
Gu Jinyan's pupils shrank suddenly, and before he could ask, the other party hung up the phone. He looked at the phone screen, and an ominous premonition came to his mind...
The family consultant frowned, pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, and said in a steady tone, "Sir, Madam, the media is hyping this up so much right now, and we can't lose our composure. I think the most urgent thing is to remain silent, not respond to any questions, and not accept any interviews. We can make plans after the hype has died down."
Su Li and Gu Jinyan looked at each other and both understood that now was not the time to act on impulse. They needed to calm down before they could find a solution to the problem.
"I understand. I will try my best to control myself." Su Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
However, the media offensive was far more violent than they had imagined.
A few days later, when Su Li was out shopping, she was blocked by a group of reporters at the entrance of the mall. Flashes of light poured down like a rainstorm, and the reporters asked questions one after another:
"Ms. Su, how is your relationship with Mr. Gu?"
"Will you choose to withdraw from this marriage for the benefit of the Gu family?"
"What do you think of the marriage between Mr. Gu and the daughter of the Lin family?"
Su Li was startled by the sudden situation. She subconsciously wanted to hide, but was surrounded by reporters and could not move.
"Miss Su, please say something!"
"You remain silent. Do you acquiesce to the fact of the marriage?"
The reporters pressed on step by step, and Su Li's anger gradually rose. She took a deep breath, raised her chin, and looked at everyone in front of her with a firm gaze, saying word by word: "Jin Yan and I have a good relationship. I will not give up our marriage. Please stop making rumors and causing trouble!"
After saying this, she no longer paid attention to the reporters' questions and resolutely left the mall under the escort of her bodyguards.
Su Li's words undoubtedly dropped a bombshell on the calm lake. The media immediately went wild, and began to report on Su Li's "tough attitude", and the direction of public opinion also changed subtly...
At this time, Gu Jinyan was also facing tremendous pressure from within the company... He pushed open the door of the conference room, glanced around at the company executives present, and said in a deep voice: "I know everyone is very concerned about the recent rumors. What I want to say is..."
Gu Jinyan pushed open the door of the conference room, glanced around at the company executives present, and said in a deep voice: "I know everyone is concerned about the recent rumors. What I want to say is that my marriage to Su Li is very stable, and no rumors can affect our relationship. At the same time, I also assure you that anything in my personal life will not affect the normal operation of the company. The future development of the Gu Group has always been my top priority." Gu Jinyan's firm tone and powerful words calmed the executives present who had been hanging in the air.
As night fell and the lights came on, the Gu family villa was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. In the restaurant, Su Li and Gu Jinyan sat opposite each other, and the exquisite dishes on the table seemed to have lost their former appeal.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death." Su Li put down the knife and fork in his hand, frowning, "Allowing public opinion to ferment will only make things worse."
Gu Jinyan's deep gaze fell on Su Li's face. He knew that Su Li was right. Avoidance would never solve the problem. "What do you think?"
Su Li took a deep breath and said, "We must take the initiative. Instead of passively accepting the media's judgment, we should control the right to speak ourselves."
Gu Jinyan nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. "I understand what you mean, you want to..."
"Public statement!" Su Li said firmly, "We must make our position clear to everyone, clarify the facts, and crush those groundless speculations and malicious slanders!"
Gu Jinyan was silent for a moment. He knew what this meant. They would be completely exposed to the public and face greater challenges. But he nodded without hesitation, "Okay, let's do as you say. I believe we can get through this together."
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words. Outside the window, the night was dark, but a flame of hope was burning in their hearts.
The first rays of morning sun shone into the room through the French windows, dispelling the gloom of the night. Su Li and Gu Jinyan had already stood up, their expressions were calm, and there was a firm light in their eyes.
Almost at the same time, all major news websites and social media platforms were detonated by a piece of news: Gu Jinyan, the president of Gu Group, and his wife Su Li jointly issued a statement denying the marriage rumors. In the statement, Gu Jinyan's words were sincere, and his words revealed his love for Su Li and his firm protection of the marriage. Su Li also expressed her trust in Gu Jinyan and her vision for the future.
This statement was like a bombshell, creating a storm in the wave of public opinion. Reporters swarmed in, surrounding the Gu Group Building, and the flash lights were like stars twinkling in the night sky, dazzling. Facing the reporters' sharp questions, Gu Jinyan always maintained a calm and composed attitude. He repeated the contents of the statement word by word, with a firm tone that left no room for doubt.
At the same time, the public relations team of the Gu Group was also actively responding. They contacted major media platforms, released positive reports, and guided the direction of public opinion. The family consultant also proposed a response strategy in a timely manner, suggesting that Gu Jinyan and Su Li keep a low profile, reduce public appearances, and make plans after the storm subsided.
Everything seemed to be going in the expected direction, however, there was an undercurrent hidden under the calm surface. After hearing this, the head of the Gu family, Mr. Gu, had a gloomy face and put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, making a crisp sound.
"Nonsense! This is just nonsense!" Old Master Gu was furious. "Do they still have the family in their eyes? Do they still have a grandfather like me?"
Seeing this, the housekeeper stepped forward and comforted him, "Master, calm down. The young master and the young mistress are also considering the overall situation. After all, the pressure from public opinion is too great..."
"Consider the overall situation?" Old Master Gu snorted coldly, "I think they are too concerned and confused, and their love has clouded their minds! I must personally come forward to solve this matter!"
In the evening, Gu Jinyan and Su Li received a call from Mr. Gu, asking them to return to the old house immediately. The two looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.
"Grandpa suddenly asked us to go back. I'm afraid things are not that simple." Su Li said softly.
Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand and gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
The two drove to the old house. As soon as they walked into the living room, they felt the atmosphere was unusually solemn...
