Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 498 - 468: Solving the Problem from the Root

"Yes," Gao Yuanzhong said bitterly, "Mr. Tang, at that time, I pushed that woman down because I needed to rush back to the police station to arrest Xu Yang. If this matter isn’t handled well, I might have to be the one going in, and then I won’t be able to take care of things for you anymore."

Tang Jinghuan snorted coldly, "You are such a waste. Not only did you fail to catch Xu Yang, but you also caused such a mess!"

Gao Yuanzhong didn’t say a word.

He knew he couldn’t handle this situation.

Pushing down the media wouldn’t be easy.

As long as Tang Jinghuan could take care of the matter, let him scold away. It’s like listening to a dog’s bark!

Finally, Tang Jinghuan snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I’ll arrange to suppress the media coverage. Be more careful in the future when you handle things!"

He highly valued the network that Gao Yuanzhong represented. Keeping it meant convenient entry and exit in the future.

Gao Yuanzhong was overjoyed, "Thank you, Mr. Tang!"

After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuanzhong wasn’t worried at all.

He believed that with Tang Jinghuan’s influence, dealing with this sort of issue was simply too easy.

He even knew how Tang Jinghuan would handle it.

It would just involve creating a bigger hot topic to overshadow his own headline news.

This was all standard procedure.

He couldn’t handle it because it required a lot of money, not something he could afford, even with his illicit earnings of a million a year from bending the rules.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the office, and a subordinate came in and said, "Leader, a lot of reporters are outside asking to interview you. What should we do?"

Gao Yuanzhong mocked him and couldn’t help but curse, "Are you an idiot? You have to ask me about something like this? Of course, we don’t accept the interview!"

They must be here to ask about the incident where he pushed the young woman down.

What was he supposed to say to the reporters?

That it wasn’t intentional, and he was in a hurry for something important?

Those reporters were all clever; he had no confidence in facing them.

They might even bring up other issues.

Now, in the internet age, he had developed some skills in dealing with the media.

He knew that in situations like this, the best strategy was to hide and not give any interviews. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

No matter what people say online, I’ll keep silent, neither admitting nor denying.

Just wait for the heat to die down.

And he had already called Tang Jinghuan, who said he would take care of it.

He believed the heat surrounding him would soon pass.

"I understand," his subordinate, frightened, quickly left.

Ten minutes later, a piece of news climbed the trending search list at a visibly rapid pace.

A certain fresh young idol rumored to have a girlfriend!

Clicking on the trending search, one could see countless articles.

All guessing who the fresh young idol’s girlfriend might be.

Netizens let their imaginations run wild, some speculating that the young idol was kept by a certain first-line older female star.

Others said the young idol’s girlfriend was a certain young actress.

There were also rumors that the young idol’s girlfriend was a fan, an assistant...

There were all kinds of theories.

All the women who had a good relationship with the young idol made it to the trending searches.

The news about Gao Yuanzhong was quickly squeezed out of the trending list and eventually disappeared.

Seeing this, Gao Yuanzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Jinghuan is awesome!

…

Xu Yang, on the high-speed train, saw what was happening.

He smiled, not needing to guess that Tang Jinghuan had worked his magic to suppress the media coverage of Gao Yuanzhong.

This would require a lot of money.

Or you might say, as long as you have money, that’s all you need.

This is a common tactic, creating one trending topic to overshadow another.

Netizens are forgetful and also enjoy chasing trends, they’ll quickly forget Gao Yuanzhong’s news.

Xu Yang called Ma Yangrong, "Gao Yuanzhong’s news has died down, you have a plan to respond, right?"

"Of course," Ma Yangrong replied with a smile, "President Xu, just watch. Gao Yuanzhong won’t be able to escape, and we’ve also uncovered some stuff about Tang Jinghuan. Let’s take care of Gao Yuanzhong first, and then deal with Tang Jinghuan. We’ll definitely make him drink a bitter cup!"

"That’s reassuring," Xu Yang said.

After ending the call, Xu Yang continued to monitor the news.

Five minutes later, the already bustling internet boiled over completely.

A piece of news rapidly climbed to the top of the trending search ranking at a visible speed.

Super internet celebrity, Lin Junyi speaks out, fiercely condemning the middle-aged man who snatched a cab, with countless internet celebrities voicing their support!

Lin Junyi, with over a hundred million fans, was a super internet celebrity, a veritable flow harvester.

With the support of numerous internet celebrities, the entire internet ignited instantly.

Suddenly, netizens’ attention shifted back to the taxi-snatching incident.

A hot piece of news about a young idol suspected of having a girlfriend was swiftly suppressed.

The topic of snatching a taxi returned to the top of the trending search list.

And due to Lin Junyi’s intervention, the momentum became even greater.

Truth be told, netizens are often irrational and easily swayed.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that most netizens are just.

They saw a weak woman pleading with someone to let her get to the hospital, only to be pushed to the ground.

This angered the netizens.

The trending topic being covered up a moment ago was something many netizens couldn’t help with.

But now that it’s back on the trending search, they naturally wanted to stand up and support!

Because the recent hot topic cover-up was in play, most netizens basically understood what was going on—someone was trying to quash this issue.

That only made the netizens even more furious.

So, they began to take action, and those who hadn’t spoken out before started to do so.

Even many who had years of lurking experience surfaced.

This kind of grassroots momentum is truly terrifying.

No matter how hard you try to fabricate hot topics, you can’t cover this up; no amount of money will do the trick.

Seeing this situation, Gao Yuanzhong’s forehead broke out in cold sweat again.

If this hot topic continues, he was afraid that the disciplinary department would soon come knocking.

Seeing this situation, Tang Jinghuan was fuming and immediately said to his assistant, "Go tell Lin Junyi’s live broadcast guild to take down the video and the article. If they don’t, he can forget about being an internet celebrity!"

The assistant replied with a wry smile, "President Tang, it’s obviously Xu Yang’s doing. Lin Junyi is an internet celebrity from his guild. We really can’t stop him from being an internet celebrity!"

"What!" Tang Jinghuan’s face changed dramatically.

If it was Xu Yang’s guild, then they couldn’t touch it.

He really couldn’t ask Xu Yang’s guild to blackball Lin Junyi.

Otherwise, he would have done it already; why else would he allow Xu Yang to come to Haicheng?

Tang Jinghuan frowned, "What should we do then? Are we supposed to give up on Gao Yuanzhong’s connections? That network is very important to us. It makes entering and leaving the country a lot easier."

In fact, by helping Gao Yuanzhong, besides wanting to use him against Xu Yang, the more important goal was to develop Gao Yuanzhong’s network.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother with Gao Yuanzhong at all after Xu Yang had left.

The assistant said, "President Tang, it seems we can’t suppress the trending news. Since that’s the case, we might as well solve the problem at its root."

Tang Jinghuan’s eyebrows raised, "How do we solve it from the root?"

The assistant suggested, "The woman who got pushed by Gao Yuanzhong has already disappeared, untraceable, likely Xu Yang’s doing. But the person who first released the video works in internet marketing at a tech company. We can have him come forward, admitting that the video he released was doctored, intended to attract traffic. That way, we can resolve this issue."

Tang Jinghuan’s eyes lit up, "That’s a good idea, go ahead with it immediately. As long as it works, don’t worry about the cost!"
