chapter 117




Chen Ang didn’t know that Lu BoYang dropped the issue of buying the music simply because he found out that Su Ran was the composer, and he didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
From Chen Ang’s perspective, he assumed that the reason their chairman of the board dropped the issue was to protect a certain individual. And that certain individual was Lin XiaoXiao.
Afterall, Lin XiaoXiao was not entirely in the clear over the last incident, all things considered.
***
Zhou LingYan had no idea what was going through Chen Ang’s mind. Hearing his very assertive tone, her eyes widened.
“Manager Chen, what do you mean by that?”
“The literal meaning of what I’ve said.” You know that Miss Song, who comes over from time to time, came looking for our chairman?”
“You mean the daughter of the Song’s?” Of course she knew her. She even knew that Miss Song was the chairman’s adopted daughter.
Nevertheless

“What does that have to do with Lin XiaoXiao?”
“It has lots to do with her. Speaking of, Lin XiaoXiao is Miss Song’s aunt.”
“What? She
” Zhou LingYan’s mouth dropped open, and she couldn’t find any words all of a sudden.
“How else did you think someone who had just graduated from some crappy university with no relative experience in the field and average in both looks and ability was able to join Shengding?”
Manager Chen’s words reminded Zhou LingYan.
That made a lot of sense.
Shengding and the Song’s

Even if the rumors on the web about their chairman being madly in love with Mrs. Song was fake, it was undeniable that Shengding and the Song’s were closely related in the last few years. In fact, the Song’s were the biggest investor in many of Shengding’s projects.
If that was true, then Lin XiaoXiao, being cousins of the wife of the Song’s CEO, would be somewhat untouchable.
“But
.” But the blame still couldn’t be placed on her!
“Okay, now is not the time to discuss that.” Chen Ang frowned and interrupted Director Zhou, troubled by this incident. “What’s most important right now is to take care of the incident and minimize its potential effect on us.”
Upon hearing that, Director Zhou stopped with her complaining.
“I understand that. I have already notified the water army to stop influencing the public opinions and also working on monitoring and controlling what was being said in comments and discussions. I’ve also contacted the most trending list end and we should be moved off the list shortly,” said Director Zhou.
“Okay.” Chen Ang noticed. All in all, he was still quite confident in the efficiency of Operations as well as Director’s Zhou’s ability.
“And,” added Chen Ang. “Don’t forget the follow-up work. Shengding can’t afford negative publicity like this.”
“Don’t worry, Manager Chen. We are already working on that,” reassured Director Zhou.
These so-called follow-up work included releasing other shocking news to redirect the general public’s attention before releasing an official announcement that: After further investigations, the one who claimed to be “Shengding’s employee” who leaked the news had nothing to do with Shengding and that Shengding had no knowledge of this.
The victim in this whole thing was that girls’ group. They were going to debut by the end of the year but now it’s looking like that will be pushed back for quite a while.
“Hmm, okay. You should return to your office now. We will discuss the responsibilities on this at a later time,” said Chen Ang with a sigh.
“Okay,” said Director Zhou, still feeling very unjust.
“Wait!” Manger Chen called out to Director Zhou once again before she walked out of his office.
“What’s the matter, Manager Chen?” Right now, Manager Chen did not look happy at all.
“See for yourself!” said Chen Ang as he tossed his phone over to Director Zhou.
Chen Ang had been following the incident since the very beginning. With their water army being put on hold and Shengding’s effort in controlling the popularity of the news, this plagiarizing issue was already beginning to pass and already dropped to the bottom of the most trending list.
Unexpectedly, Yu LeLe’s Studio, who had remained silent this entire time, suddenly decided to release a few concrete pieces of evidence. Evidence such as sample comparison, the complete handwritten sheet music, along with the contract to its copyright!
Once the evidence had been released, what was a tie in the heated arguments immediately started siding with Yu LeLe’s Studio.
