"Gu Yanwei has been scheming behind the scenes." Xu Yichen was deep in thought. "It's obvious that she's not targeting Jiang Chao. Gu Yanwei wants to use our company to create hype and use us as her springboard."
"Why would she suddenly target Huang Tu?" Rong Xiao smacked his lips. "This bunch of third-generation heirs, do they only know how to play dirty? This sexual assault news has been hyped up too much. All the comments are against Jiang Chao and Huang Tu."
It was clear that Jiang Chao had been framed for "sexually assaulting" Gu Yanwei.
Gu Ruochu glanced at Rong Xiao. "Most people sympathize with the weak. Gu Yanwei is a woman. She is being portrayed as a victim. Those who don't know the truth will, of course, choose to go online and castigate Jiang Chao. At the same time, they will support and comfort Gu Yanwei."
Gu Ruochu looked at the article once again and frowned. "The news has already spread like wildfire. I think that the role of the second male lead that Jiang Chao managed to get from Director Wang is about to be blown up. "
Everyone knew that Director Wang hated scandals.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chao had just landed his new role when the scandal broke out.
Did Gu Yanwei intend to fight with Gu Ruochu, or was she just using her?
Using such a piece of news to gain attention would put Gu Ruochu at a disadvantage while also increasing Gu Yanwei's exposure. Gu Ruochu and the Royal Road would have to pay a heavy price.
Destroying an actor who had such good potential, as well as Huang Tu's reputation, would be a fatal blow to a fledgling entertainment company.
No matter what Gu Yanwei's ultimate goal was, Gu Ruochu could not afford to let her succeed.
"Is Gu Yanwei going to be appearing soon? Does she have an important job lined up?" Gu Ruochu asked as she browsed through the news.
Rong Xiao nodded, "I've looked up her schedule. A popular cosmetics brand has invited her to be their spokesperson. They're using her popularity to attract more customers!"
"What brand?"
"I think it's called Shui Man."
"Shui Man?" Gu Ruochu laughed when she heard the name. "I don't know if Wang Xin is trying to flatter Gu Yanwei or destroy her. He asked her to accept a cosmetics endorsement that did not pass the quality test. That sister of mine must have gone crazy in her quest to be famous, right? A few years ago, news of this cosmetic brand's dangerous side effects spread like wildfire. Changing its name to Shui Man will not change its dark history."
Xu Yichen shook his head. "Even if it were to be exposed that she's endorsing a trashy product, the Jiang Chao scandal would still be a foregone conclusion. Gu Yanwei has already taken Shui Man's money. At most, she would get some mild criticism in the press. Who would care?"
Suddenly, Gu Ruochu had an idea and interrupted him. "I know what I'm doing. Since Gu Yanwei wants to destroy our company, we'll have to see if she is capable of doing so."
Rong Xiao replied, "All right, I'll spend some money to make sure the news gets out."
Gu Ruochu stood up. "Yichen, help me collect all the relevant information regarding Shui Man over the past few years. Give it to me as soon as possible."
"Okay."
After laying out their plan, they began to take action.
Gu Yanwei had received many interview requests from various media outlets after the news of her sexual assault. With the help of Wang Xin, her popularity in the entertainment industry had risen.
She accepted to be interviewed during the live broadcast of the popular entertainment program, 'Gossip Me The Most.'
"Miss Gu, what do you have to say about the sexual harassment incident between you and Huang Tu artist Jiang Chao?"
