25: The media exploded: Supercar guy had a late-night rendezvous with a young flight attendant?
"That's right, I can testify. I was eating barbecue here yesterday and saw the two of them enter the hotel with my own eyes."
"No way. This, this, this, does this really not have any impact? Wearing the company uniform represents the company's image!"
The crowd discussed it, everyone talking at once.
Because they were gossiping, their faces showed very excited expressions.
Topics like this are always the most trending subjects of discussion.
Inside the room.
Di Xiaoba was in the bathroom, tidying herself up again. She applied makeup and combed her hair.
Then, she heard the noisy sounds of many people talking downstairs.
What's going on?
She didn't understand what was happening outside.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Thinking it was Sister Xiao and the others who had arrived, a smile appeared on her face.
When she saw the caller ID, her mood suddenly clouded over.
The smile on her lips froze.
This call was from Manager Li.
Manager Li was their direct Superior Officer, responsible for human resources recruitment and performance appraisals.
Due to many reasons.
It led to him being very unpopular in the Airline Company; everyone hated him.
As long as it was about him, nothing ever made people feel good.
But she didn't dare not to answer Manager Li's call.
"Hello, Manager?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, she pressed the answer button.
"Di Xiaoba, why did it take so long to answer? Where are you now?" The person on the other end was in a bad mood. "What did you do when you took leave yesterday?"
"Ah, I..."
Di Xiaoba thought for a moment and then said, "Yesterday, I had some family matters, so I didn't fly. I already told Sister Xiao about it."
"Family matters?"
Manager Li's voice rose a few decibels. "Still lying? Did you or did you not sit in the passenger seat of a rich person's car and go to a hotel together?"
"Manager Li, are you monitoring me?"
Di Xiaoba's expression turned cold.
She didn't yet know that someone had spliced the two events from yesterday into a single video.
They had omitted the argument with the father and son, as well as the process of eating at the barbecue stall.
The final result presented was very easy to misunderstand.
In what they saw, Di Xiaoba hadn't even changed her clothes and was wearing the uniform with the company logo.
She was picked up directly by someone driving a luxury sports car and went to a hotel.
As everyone knows, videos cannot be Photoshopped.
With just such a spliced-together video, countless people who didn't know the truth would believe it to be real.
Furthermore, people who scroll through short videos lack the ability to distinguish the authenticity of information.
It is very easy to be led astray.
Or rather, they don't have the free time. So, whatever they see is what they believe.
"I'm monitoring you?"
Manager Li couldn't hold back anymore. "This matter has spread all over the internet. Do you know how much of a stir it has caused online? Because of you, our company's reputation has been affected, and the stock price is about to plummet!"
Although society always views the profession of Flight Attendant through a special tinted lens.
But after all, it was only talked about in private.
This was the first time someone didn't change their clothes and charged straight to a hotel; it was too reckless.
It had even left Airlines stunned.
"Manager Li, I'm afraid you've misunderstood. That's not how things happened."
Di Xiaoba realized what he was talking about and hurriedly wanted to clarify the cause and effect of the matter.
"Don't say anything else. Come to the company immediately! Otherwise, suffer the consequences."
After speaking, Manager Li hung up the phone.
Di Xiaoba listened to the busy signal on the phone, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.
At a loss.
How could so many things have changed after just one night's sleep?
At this moment.
Zhang Yu also picked up his phone and connected to the internet.
He soon saw those comments online.
There were videos, GIFs, and all sorts of spliced and edited content.
From all sorts of angles.
The netizens below were saying all sorts of things.
"Rich second generation drives a supercar to pick up a Flight Attendant and go to a hotel for intimacy."
Every word was explosive enough.
Put together, it attracted even more attention.
Those self-media bloggers, for the sake of traffic, were making things up and fabricating all sorts of nonsense. They posted all kinds of videos online.
There were also some big influencers who were expressing their so-called exclusive opinions on this matter.
"Supercar Man meets young Flight Attendant at night, what do you think? As far as I know, such incidents at Airlines are just the tip of the iceberg..."
"Super rich man and pretty woman, it was originally a romantic and wonderful story, so why does it give people a feeling of disgust? Where did the problem arise?"
"This is simply outrageous!"
Looking at the news online, Zhang Yu was also very angry.
They clearly hadn't done anything, yet they were being rumored about like this online, feeling like he was about to suffer social death.
Netizens joining in on the fun came in wave after wave.
The scope of the spread was also getting wider and wider.
In the next step, someone might even splice those "videos" from the internet into it.
Showing a "secretly filmed" scene.
He didn't really care, since he had thick skin anyway.
A few words wouldn't cause him to lose a piece of flesh.
But Di Xiaoba wouldn't be able to handle it.
A woman, especially a beautiful woman, is most easily the target of sexual rumors.
Furthermore, it's hard to clear one's name, and even with a mouthful of words, one can't explain it clearly.
If things went wrong, she could be ruined directly.
Netizens were just here for the entertainment; they only wanted to see what they wanted to see.
As for the truth?
Who would be affected?
It wasn't important.
"Landlord, I'm really sorry, it has affected you. I'll go to the company now and explain everything clearly."
Di Xiaoba felt very apologetic in her heart.
As she spoke, she was about to leave the room.
"Wait a moment, I'll drive you there."
Zhang Yu said, "Since I am already one of the parties involved, of course, I won't stand idly by regarding this matter."
This matter not only brought trouble to himself, but Di Xiaoba was also innocent.
"Huh?"
Di Xiaoba was very surprised.
"It's settled then, let's go."
Zhang Yu said in an unrefusable tone.
"Alright then."
Seeing that Zhang Yu was so responsible and willing to face this matter together.
Di Xiaoba was deeply touched.
The two of them checked out of the room.
When they walked downstairs, the people surrounding the sports car saw the two of them come out.
They stood in the distance, discussing and pointing fingers.
Zhang Yu kept a cold face and glared at them, scaring them so much that they didn't dare to speak anymore.
That look was too terrifying; they didn't dare to provoke him.
Who knew what kind of background someone who could drive such a sports car had?
It was fine to run one's mouth, but once encountering the actual person, one had better restrain oneself.
Don't bring trouble upon oneself just for the sake of joining in the fun and getting splashed with blood; that wouldn't be worth it.
After the two of them got into the car.
He started the car and drove towards the direction of the Airlines company.
At the same time.
He remembered the hidden Blind Box he had just obtained last night.
Now that he needed to resolve the unfavorable factors in public opinion, the function of this Blind Box could come in handy.
Otherwise, he really couldn't suppress it.
"System, use the Future Event Modifier once!"
Zhang Yu awakened the system in his mind.
Immediately.
A virtual notepad popped up in front of his eyes.
"host, please write the event you want to modify and the time on the notepad."
The system prompted.
"The content must be within the word count requirement specified on the notepad."
The system prompted like this.
Zhang Yu did not hesitate.
The minimum specified time unit was 10 minutes later.
"Within 10 minutes, all negative news about me and Di Xiaoba will be completely cleared."
After thinking about it, he added a few more words, "Completely prohibited from being posted online again."
After writing it,
He found there were still a few spaces left, so in order not to waste them, he added one more sentence.
"Within two hours, become the mysterious Major Shareholder of the Airlines company."
