The expression on Fang Mo’er’s face relaxed. She really did not want to meet Shi Mo again at this moment. The usually rational Shi Mo had become completely different when he lost control of his temper.
Faced with Mu Bei’s apology, the corners of Fang Mo’er’s mouth lifted slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes. After all, she really could not bring herself to smile at this moment.
Her faint smile had a calming effect.
“It’s not your fault.” Fang Mo’er still had to comfort Mu Bei, who was looking anxious.
However, Mu Bei rubbed his hands together as he spoke with some anger, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t manage to take care of it properly. I had clearly bought some of the photos, but I didn’t think to see who else had taken
them. If] had…”
Fang Mo’er rubbed her temples and said, “Don’t think too much about it.”
Mu Bei looked at Fang Mo’er guiltily. In the end, he left dejectedly after Fang Mo’er had repeatedly said that she would not blame him.
He had not thought that he would bring such damage to Fang Mo’er’s reputation. He felt completely useless. The only thing he could do would be to clarify this matter as soon as possible.
Mu Bei discussed with Shen Yue who was still in China and rushed to the venue of the cocktail party. He wanted to get the surveillance footage of the power failure to prove that it had indeed been an accident.
Mu Bei anxiously made his way to the venue of the cocktail party.
Then, another group of photos appeared on the Internet, causing Shen Yue to curse out loud.
On the Internet, the video of Fang Mo’er and Mu Bei kissing passionately at the cocktail party was still being spread. In the end, another video of the two of them staying in the same hotel room had made an
appearance.
The video clearly showed the two of them entering the room together and exiting the room together.
Those who had experience in public relations knew that the best time to deal with rumors was within 24 hours.
Shen Yue knew very well that if she did not clean up the scandal quickly, the image of Fang Mo’er in Country Y would be defined as a cheater.
Even if she explained everything clearly, most of the netizens would still be disgusted with Fang Mo’er or would not have the chance to find out the truth.
This made Shen Yue very anxious. She immediately bought a plane ticket and flew over.
When she got off the plane, Shen Yue received a call from Mu Bei. He said that there was a problem with the surveillance footage and that the surveillance screen during the power blackout had also been damaged.
If a person was unlucky, they would choke even if they drank a sip of water.
Also, Shi Mo, who had just been announced as the person in charge of Star Dream Video, faced fluctuations in the company’s stock due to the news that his girlfriend had cheated on him.
It could be said that this was an unsettling night.
At Star Dream Video’s headquarters, the employees of the company were all on the defensive because of the rumors on the Internet. They tried to contact Shi Mo, but they could not reach him. In the end, they were
only able to call Shi Mo’s assistant.
At the moment, Shi Mo was sitting in the dimly lit car, looking in the direction of the hotel.
He saw that the lights in Fang Mo’er’s room had been turned off. The room appeared to be dark and quiet.
Shi Mo had stormed out of the room but he had remained in the car ever since. By now, the anger in his heart had slowly subsided.
Thinking about it carefully, he felt that his earlier reaction had been a little too extreme.
When his assistant picked up the phone call, he looked over at him with a nervous expression. “President Shi, the company’s stock is facing a downward trend. There are also some rumors about your relationship on
the Internet.”
Hearing that, Shi Mo sniffed and narrowed his eyes as he reached out to pick up the phone.
“Let the public relations department handle this matter. Just say that those are only rumors on the Internet. Our relationship is very good,” Shi Mo said through gritted teeth.
His rationality had been completely restored. Right now, he finally knew that he should stop the rumors first.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Mo immediately turned on the hot searches.
The netizens on the Internet were cursing very harshly.
“They’re actually living under the same roof together. They’re a single man and a single woman. She must have been cheating on her boyfriend for a long time!”
“The entertainment industry has always been chaotic. You can already see that the relationship between these two people is not normal!”
“Are they trying to create hype on purpose? I heard that their movie is about to be released soon.”
“I sympathize with the businessman who just released the Star Dream Video. He just made a high-profile public display of affection. I didn’t expect others to spread it even more ruthless!”
“I think it’s better to break up with such a girlfriend. I would not dare to have someone like her.”
Shi Mo frowned as he looked at this.
If he had not been the one in the middle of this, he would have cut off the source of the rumors at the first possible moment and then investigated to find out the truth instead of letting the rumors to spread so far..
