Lin Shanchu returned to the training camp and returned the phone to the staff member.

The director was also present.

When Lin Shanchu returned the phone and was about to leave, the director sneakily called out to her.

“Lin Shanchu.”

“What up?

The director took out his business card from his pocket very seriously.

He handed it to Lin Shanchu with both hands. “President Lin, let’s get to know each other well. My name is Song Yiming.”

Lin Shanchu held back her laughter and took it with both hands. “All right then, Director Song.”

Not long after, Nan Mu also rushed over.

On the way to Nan Mu’s office, every staff member and student she met looked at her with envy.

Everyone who entered the entertainment industry wanted to be favored by the capitalistic sponsors so that they could obtain resources just to earn money and popularity.

Meanwhile, Lin Shanchu was already part of the capitalistic world…

“Boss?”

Lin Shanchu pushed open the door to Nan Mu’s office and looked inside.

With a bottle of red wine in his hand, Nan Mu exclaimed, “President Lin, stay there! I’ll open the door for you!”

“Thank you, Boss,” Lin Shanchu said.

“You’re welcome, President Lin,” Nan Mu replied. Li MO was confused.

Lin Shanchu looked at the wine in Nan Mu’s hands.

“It’s for a celebration,” Nan Mu explained.

Lin Shanchu was speechless.

Nan Mu explained, “After your interview, Lu Shiyuan was scolded even more fiercely. The Lu Corporation’s shares will definitely plummet tomorrow.”

As Nan Mu spoke, he took out a bottle opener and opened the bottle of red wine.

He was even humming a song as he poured the wine.

He looked so happy that one would think he was celebrating New Year.

Huo Xunzhou swirled the red wine in his glass and looked at Lin Shanchu thoughtfully. “The Lu Corporation will be holding a shareholders’ meeting tomorrow.”

Nan Mu took a sip of wine and said in agreement, “Of course. Lu Shiyuan is hated by everyone. Those shareholders must have disliked him for a long time. They might want to take advantage of this opportunity to dismiss him from his position as the president…”

At this point, Nan Mu suddenly realized something and stopped.

He nodded mechanically and looked at Lin Shanchu. “Are you going to attend the meeting as a shareholder of the Lu Corporation?

“What do you think?” Lin Shanchu raised an eyebrow.

“What about the show?”

The rankings would be announced tomorrow, and the members would have to choose their songs for the second public showdown.

Lin Shanchu smiled. “I can only let my management company come forward and negotiate with the production crew.”

“Isn’t our company your management company?” Nan Mu asked.

“Yeah,” Lin Shanchu replied.

Nan Mu was speechless. He felt like he just became the joke of the year.

Lin Shanchu was not participating in the recording tomorrow.

If the key element of popularity was absent, the show’s ratings would definitely drop.

The smile on Nan Mil’s face gradually disappeared.

Happiness was always short-lived. It left as quickly as it came.

Lu Corporation.

The technical department.

Lu Shiyuan was so angry that he swept all the things on the table to the ground.

“You all are useless! How many hours has it been?” He seethed in rage. ‘You can’t even find the person who posted the video!”

The staff member explained in a trembling voice, “President Lu, the IP address that uploaded the video is overseas. It’s a little difficult to track it, so we might not be able to produce any results for a while…”

“How long do you need?” Lu Shiyuan interrupted with a gloomy face.

The staff member trembled in fear and did not dare to speak.

Lu Shiyuan reached out and grabbed his collar. He roared furiously with a dark expression, “I’m asking you, how long will it take to find the person who posted the video?”

“I… I’m not sure…” The staff member was so scared that he swallowed nervously before quickly making a promise. “But we’ll definitely track them down as soon as possible…”

Lu Shiyuan couldn’t be bothered to listen to the staff member, so he threw him aside.

The people present kept quiet out of fear. No one dared to make a sound.

“Continue investigating!” Lu Shiyuan shouted angrily.

What a bunch of trash.

The staff members quickly got into position and continued to track the IP address.

“President Lu.” Zhou Yan walked in from the outside with a solemn expression.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Shiyuan frowned.

Zhou Yan showed Lu Shiyuan the trending list, resulting in the latter’s expression changing.

#Lin Shanchu’s response was high in the top row of the hot search list.

Back in the office, Lu Shiyuan opened Lin Shanchu’s interview video.

After watching Lin Shanchu’s interview video, Lu Shiyuan couldn’t help but throw his tablet away.

“Lin Shanchu that b*tch!”

The tablet’s quality was good. After it fell to the ground, the screen only cracked a few times. It was still replaying Lin Shanchu’s interview video at the same time.

Lin Shanchu’s voice also came from the tablet.

“Lu Shiyuan’s fiancée doesn’t have to be responsible for this matter, but the shareholders of Lu Corporation have to be responsible for this…”

Lu Shiyuan stared at the tablet intently.

It was as if he wanted to drag the interviewee from the tablet and demand to know the reason behind the interview.

When Zhou Yan saw the situation, he picked up the tablet from the ground.

He was about to turn off the video when Lu Shiyuan snatched the tablet away.

Lu Shiyuan watched the interview video a few more times.

Then, he opened the comments section.

[I hope that Lin Shanchu will keep her word and bring justice to Jing Ming.]

[Lu Shiyuan is such a coward. I can’t believe he allowed a woman to defend him.]

[Why do you guys think that Lin Shanchu is speaking up for Lu Shiyuan? I think Lin Shanchu is just adding insult to Lu Shiyuan’s injury.]

[To put it more accurately, she insults both Lu Shiyuan and the pretentious woman.

[Now that you mention it, you’re right. Lin Shanchu seems to be mocking those two every time she gets the chance. She always embarrasses them in public.]

[If that’s the case, it’ll be quite exciting! I’m taking Lin Shanchu’s side and supporting her in destroying this adulterous couple and finding out the truth behind Jing Ming’s suicide!]

Lu Shiyuan gritted his teeth in anger and clenched his fists.

Lin Shanchu actually dared to treat him like this!

She’d better not blame him for being ruthless.

Seeing that he was so angry, Zhou Yan probed, “President Lu, do you want to suppress the trending topic?”

Lu Shiyuan took a few deep breaths in a row before he could calm down.

He closed his eyes, leaned back, and raised his hand to signal Zhou Yan to leave.

Zhou Yan understood Lu Shiyuan’s character.

He knew that Lu Shiyuan didn’t say no, which meant he agreed to suppress the trending topic.

Nan Mu immediately noticed that Lu Shiyuan was suppressing the trending topic.

This time, the matter had fermented very quickly.

After Lin Shanchu’s interview, the popularity of the incident was pushed to a new peak.

The related topic was at its peak and quickly declined. Anyone with eyes could see that it was definitely someone whose profits were tied to this incident was suppressing the trending list.

To put it bluntly, those people could only be Lu Shiyuan and Lin Shanchu.

However, Lin Shanchu said that she would return to the training camp after the interview.

In that case, Lu Shiyuan was the only one who was capable of doing that.

The netizens grew even more agitated when they were aware of Lu Shiyuan suppressing the trending topic.

They wanted to send him private messages just to teach him a lesson, but then they realized Lu Shiyuan had already turned off his inbox from the public.

This angered the netizens even more.

After that, they flocked to the Lu Corporation’s official Weibo account.

It turned out that the official account’s comment section and inbox were also turned off.

The netizens finally exploded, completely losing their minds.

They formed groups and started spamming one-star reviews about all of the Lu Corporation’s dramas and movies on various platforms.

[1* – I’m sorry to the cast, but Lu Shiyuan deserves this!]

[1* – Are the netizens who aren’t here still sleeping or don’t have their phones with them?]

[1* – Justice for Jing Ming!]

That night, the netizens, together with Jing Ming’s fans, posted a total of one million one-star negative comments in the internet..
