When they returned to the large conference room, Charlie and Gu Chen had already taken their seats on both sides. The middle seat had remained empty, and Song Yi only sat on an empty seat on the left. Meng Xia kept her head down, and her expression was unreadable.
Song Yi put on a fatherly smile. “Fanfan, you are leading this project, so take the main seat.”
Lan Yue, being perceptive, had already pulled out a chair, and Song Fan didn’t refuse. She sat down directly.
She nodded slightly, gesturing for Wen Chao to start explaining the details of this collaboration, and finally, the signing.
The collaboration had no significance for Gu Chen and Charlie. The presentation was mainly for the executives of Gu Corporation. Song Fan’s plan was meticulous, and with the assistance of Gu Chen and Charlie, such a significant project surprisingly had no flaws.
Sun Yang, the manager from the Marketing Department, nodded repeatedly. “Indeed, the new overthrew the old. Miss Song has done so well in her first major project. It’s impressive.”
Sun Yang was somewhat overweight, and his laughter made his double chin tremble. However, the affection in his eyes as he looked at Song Fan was evident. Song Fan could feel his goodwill.
It was clear that Sun Yang held a certain position, and other executives followed his lead, making the atmosphere in the meeting room less tense than before.
Keen observers could tell that Gu Chen and Charlie were here for Song Fan, whether it was for her beauty or other reasons. Everyone understood one thing – the future of Song Corporation might be changing. With a general manager under 20 years old possessing such skill and background, this was truly someone to be reckoned with.
The signing process went smoothly as the contract content had been discussed and agreed upon by the three parties in advance. The signing ceremony was quickly completed.
For the final clarification online, Song Fan asked Wang Wei to take several pictures of the signing. She stood in the center, with Charlie and Gu Chen on either side.
Even though Song Yi was present in the photos, he was situated to the side. When Meng Xia tried to join for a photo, Wang Wei simply put away his camera
without saying a word. Wen Chao gave him a thumbs up, expressing
admiration.
Many people were aware of Charlie’s identity. Even though Song Fan had blocked some comments, after a night of fermentation, people had already noticed something was amiss.
Song Corporation usually handled such matters with a heavy hand, deleting posts or providing clarifications.
However, this time, there was no clarification from Song Fan, allowing the situation to turn increasingly unfavorable for her. Some netizens even began to develop conspiracy theories.
“Song Fan was sent away from a young age. Doesn’t she have anyone who loves her? Why hasn’t her family clarified such a significant matter?”
“Maybe she and the blond handsome guy are a couple? After all, Gu Chen hasn’t publicly confirmed that Song Fan is his fiancée.”
“A couple of photos can’t prove anything. Going to such bars is usually with friends, right? Only these two were photographed.”
“I think someone is trying to smear Song Fan. I heard many clarifying comments were blocked. We don’t even know the truth!”
The situation unfolded just as Song Fan had expected. Many people in A City had seen Charlie at the Gu Group’s banquet, making it difficult to conceal the truth for long.
Taking advantage of the ongoing public attention, she used Song Group’s official account to release a bombshell: Song Corporation, Gu Corporation, and Brown Group were collaborating to create a high-end jewelry brand. With this news, the public soon understood the true situation.
Seeing the three individuals in the photos, even the confused netizens started investigating Brown Group. Unexpectedly, they discovered Charlie’s background, leaving many in shock.
“I’ve been saying he’s the son of Brown Group! The website won’t let me comment. It’s unfair!”
“It’s obvious that the two companies are collaborating. It’s disgusting how some marketing accounts are trying to create rumors of a romance. So nauseating! ”
“Song Fan accomplished something big without making any noise. Just like that, she secured such a significant collaboration.”
“The blond handsome guy is a business partner. The person she booked a room with is her real brother. The rumors collapse without explanation!”
“No, there’s still one unconfirmed rumor. Does that mean it’s true?”
“I also think she and Gu Chen are for real! Look at the intimate photos of them in the car.”
“I need to point out something. Mr. Gu, who always cares about his reputation, hasn’t clarified! ”
Finally completing the contract signing, and seeing off the two distinguished guests, Song Fan thought she could relax a bit. However, when she surfed online, she found that the online comments seemed to be heading in a different direction than she had anticipated..
