One second ago, Jiang He was certain that her company would not be affected. The next second, she received a call from her assistant. âCEO Jiang, bad news. Our products have received a large number of complaints. The brands that we contacted previously also want to terminate their contracts with us!â
Jiang He was stunned. Before she could regain her senses, she heard her assistant say again, âOur product has also been complained about. They said that the materials inside are not up to standard!â
When the bad news reached Jiang Heâs ears one after another, she could not even stand steadily.
Especially since the company was already on the verge of bankruptcy.
Realizing this, Jiang He panicked completely. She quickly drove home and looked for Ji Gao. âYou told me before that it doesnât matter if some ingredients are lacking from this project, but now that it has been found out, what should we do to resolve it?â
When Ji Gao saw Jiang Heâs flustered look, he couldnât help but sneer. âYouâre panicking now? Didnât you think nothing of my companyâs situation back then? I told you long ago not to provoke Gu Xiao, but you didnât believe me!â
When Jiang He heard Ji Gaoâs words, she hurriedly said, âYes, Gu Xiao, itâs all Gu Xiaoâs fault! If she hadnât come back, everything would have been fine!â
Ji Gao did not expect Jiang He to still think so even after he said this. He said coldly, âThis is all Ji Yaoâs fault! If she hadnât egged you on, you wouldnât have gone to school, and you wouldnât have been filmed. If you hadnât insisted on keeping her here previously, the netizens wouldnât have investigated my company!â
By the time Ji Gao reached the end of his sentence, he was already gritting his teeth.
However, Jiang He still denied it. âYaoyao is so innocent. How could it be related to her?â
âInnocent?â Ji Gao repeated. At the same time, he looked at Jiang He as if he was looking at a fool and asked, âWould an innocent person cheat in the exam and find someone to make a bet on the results?â
After saying this, Ji Gao slammed the door and left. Before he left, he said, âI donât care what you think. In any case, I still want to protect my company! If you donât want your company to go bankrupt, go look for Gu Xiao as soon as possible!â
Jiang He found it especially ridiculous. After all, she did not understand what was the use of looking for Gu Xiao. If she had the time, she might as well ask her own parents for help.
At the thought of this, Jiang He made a call. âDad, Mom, quickly help my companyâ¦â
Ji Gao knew that Jiang He hadnât taken heed of his words, but he was not concerned. Immediately after, he took the gift he brought to Gu Xiao and went to look for her.
After all, Jiang He could not see the situation clearly, but he could.
Everything the netizens did was because of Gu Xiao. Ji Gao felt that he only needed to start with Gu Xiao to resolve the matter.
Gu Xiao was not surprised that Ji Gao was looking for her. After all, she had already expected it.
Ji Gao put on a fawning smile and said, âXiaoxiao, Iâm here to bring you home.â
Ji Gao had already thought it through. The person who chased Gu Xiao away was Jiang He. It did not have much to do with him. He had already arranged for someone to secretly film this scene.
At that time, as long as he posted the video of him bringing Gu Xiao home online and guided it slightly, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around!
This was also a method that Ji Gao had come up with after a long discussion.
When Ji Gao thought about how the trending topics on the Internet would change, his heart boiled.
Gu Xiao crossed her arms and leaned against the door. Although she was asking, her tone was firm. âDid you arrange for a filming secretly to capture the scene of you taking me home and post it online?â
When Ji Gao heard Gu Xiaoâs words, he was stunned and asked in confusion, âHow did you know?â
âItâs not hard to guess,â Gu Xiao said calmly. âIf you want me to cooperate, you can. Give me 900 million.â
When Ji Gao heard Gu Xiaoâs words, he frowned and said in shock, âWhat did you say?â
Gu Xiao was patient when it came to money, so she repeated, âAs long as you give me 900 million, Iâll cooperate with you to go home and film a video.â
â900 million is too much.â Ji Gao did not expect Gu Xiao to ask for so much. The moment she opened her mouth, she had demanded for so many of his assets. After thinking about it, he said, âWhy donât I give you a company? Think about the future development of the company. It will definitely be much more than 900 million!â
Gu Xiao remained silent.
Ji Gao did not mind and said directly, âIâll transfer the Ji Groupâs subsidiary company, Creative One to you. This is the most developed. Itâs more than capable of earning 900 million in the future.â
Gu Xiao snorted and looked up at Ji Gao.. âDo you think Iâm a fool?â
