Lunchtime arrived, and Du Yuhan ordered food. The group found a sheltered spot to sit down and eat.

Liang Liangwei took off her mask, and soon she felt the strange looks from the stylist and assistant hired by Du Yuhan.

She didn't pay any attention and continued eating her meal.

A moment later, the other party lost their composure.

The stylist spoke first, asking, "Ms. Liang, Le Peier is currently trending on Weibo. Is the stylist mentioned there you?"

Liang Liangwei smiled and readily admitted, "Yes."

Everyone was very surprised, and some even gasped.

The other party's assistant: "Is it really you? I thought it was just someone who looked like..."

Stylist: "But why are you so calm? A lot of people are harassing you online."

Liang Liangwei smiled slightly: "Don't many people speak up for me?"

Stylist: "That's true, but... is what they said in that video true?"

Liang Liangwei: "Half and half."

Du Yuhan also finished reading the Weibo post and clicked her tongue, saying, "But Le Peier is demanding tens of millions in compensation from you. What are you planning to do?"

Liang Liangwei chuckled and said, "Is that all she said? If the amount is that high, you might as well just sue me directly. Why just post it online?"

Du Yuhan: "That's true. The fact that she doesn't dare to sue shows that she has a guilty conscience. But if you say it's half and half, does she also bear responsibility? What exactly happened at the time?"

Liang Liangwei thought for a moment, took out her phone, found the video that Director Yang had sent, and showed it to a few people on the spot.

After reading it, the group suddenly realized, "So that's what really happened."

The other party's assistant said indignantly, "In that case, Le Pei'er is really going too far. She never mentions her own mistakes and only keeps blaming others. She's really something else."

Du Yuhan: "Exactly, I'll unfollow her right away."

The other party's assistant: "Me too—"

Du Yuhan then asked, "Who sent you this video?"

Liang Liangwei: "Director of the production team."

Du Yuhan was slightly surprised: "The director gave you evidence? That's impressive, Weiwei."

Liang Liangwei smiled. She was just a stylist. Even if Director Yang was polite to her, there was still a limit. He sent her the video without saying a word, mostly because of Yan Zhixu.

The stylist, being more composed, asked, "So you're just going to watch them post this on Weibo to diss you without responding? You clearly have evidence."

Liang Liangwei watched the video, lost in thought.

She recalled Yan Zhixu's words, in which he said he would be on the plane for 15 hours and that she should also wait for 15 hours. Should she send out the video ahead of time?

When she asked Director Yang for the video, she was prepared to release the complete video to protect herself if necessary.

Now, however, he hesitates.

Should she listen to him and wait patiently, or should she send it out ahead of time?

While she was hesitating, she saw a call from Xu Chaofeng.

She picked up her phone and stood up: "I'll take this call first."

He took his phone and stepped out of the sheltered area to answer the call: "Hello, Assistant Xu."

Xu Chaofeng said politely, "Miss Liang, I'm sorry to bother you. Is now a convenient time to talk?"

Liang Liangwei: "It's convenient. I'm eating. Just tell me what you need."

Xu Chaofeng: "Ms. Liang, have you seen the online comments?"

Liang Liangwei: "I saw it, it was as wonderful as expected."

Xu Chaofeng was somewhat surprised that she could still joke, and smiled, saying, "It seems that Miss Liang has not been greatly affected."

Liang Liangwei: "Didn't your CEO Yan tell me to stay calm? I was listening to him~"

Xu Chaofeng spoke up for her boss: "President Yan has her own plans and will definitely stand up for you, but public opinion needs time to ferment. If we strike after it has fermented to a certain extent, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Liang Liangwei knew that Yan Zhixu had kept him behind for two reasons: first, to deal with public opinion, and second, to reassure her and prevent her from losing her temper. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she said, "I know his intentions, you don't need to worry."

Hearing Liang Liangwei's relaxed tone, Xu Chaofeng finally felt relieved.

One of the tasks Yan assigned him was to keep a close eye on online public opinion and Ms. Liang's mental state and emotions.

Besides calling Liang Liangwei to test the waters when public opinion was particularly extreme, he would also occasionally contact Lan Yin to secretly inquire about her situation.

That's right. Ever since President Yan first asked him to take Lan Yin home, he had carefully kept Lan Yin's WeChat. After all, the people around the boss's girlfriend are always key figures at crucial moments. As the president's special assistant, he had to be thorough and meticulous in everything he did.

Fortunately, it came in handy this time.

That's why I was able to easily know Ms. Liang's real-time situation and, knowing that when she was being questioned by her companions, I was afraid that her emotions would be affected, so I quickly made a phone call to comfort her.

After the call, he continued to monitor the situation online.

[That's strange, it's been so long, why hasn't the stylist responded yet? Does anyone have her Weibo account? Please tag her!]

There are three people named Liang Liangwei on Weibo, but it doesn't seem to be her. Does the stylist not have a Weibo account?

[They're probably discussing it privately. This is a done deal; she can't escape it. How could she possibly show her face online?]

[Wow, tens of millions! I'm starting to worry about the stylist. How can they afford to pay that? They couldn't even afford to go bankrupt.]

……

While watching the public opinion trends on her phone, Xu Chaofeng communicated with people inside the company using WeChat Enterprise Edition on her computer.

Send me the official Weibo account and password.

【Okay, Assistant Xu. What content do you want to send? I need to add a note.】

Xu Chaofeng: [I'll post the content shortly, and I'll let you know when it's done. Refresh the page to check.]

"...Yes, Assistant Xu."

An hour later, the official Weibo account of Bosch Group's Panda China branch posted a message and simultaneously pushed it to major mainstream media outlets, requesting them to repost it.

[We hereby issue the following statement to the entire internet: Mr. Yan Zhixu, CEO of the Bosch Group, purchased a diamond necklace named "Peak of the Iceberg" at a French auction house three months ago. Because it was intended for his private collection, he kept the purchase a secret from all major media outlets worldwide, referring to himself online as a "mysterious Chinese collector." This was originally a personal matter, but today a public figure has suddenly released false information claiming that Mr. Yan Zhixu gifted "Peak of the Iceberg." This is utterly baseless. "Peak of the Iceberg" remains safely stored in his home, kept by his elders, and has never been disclosed. We urge this public figure to exercise restraint; otherwise, we will pursue legal action.]

Along with the official Weibo post, photos of the intact "Peak of the Iceberg" diamond necklace and a clear, beautiful certificate photo without any glare were also released.
