Half an hour later, Chu Yu arrived at the company fully equipped with a mask and hat.
Inside the top-floor conference room, all the senior executives from various departments of the company had gathered and were ready to begin the meeting.
General Manager Zhao stood sternly at the conference table, his face grim. "The impact of Chu Yu being falsely accused and slandered is extremely negative, and we absolutely cannot let it go. But the most pressing issue right now is how to minimize the negative impact. I hope everyone will share their opinions and thoughts."
After he finished speaking, the executives exchanged bewildered glances.
Many of them are used to sitting in the office giving orders, and they really don't have much experience in dealing with this kind of crisis.
For a long time, no one spoke up.
Finally, Yu Wei stood up.
Although she had always been in fierce competition with Zhang Yue, she temporarily put aside those personal grudges in the face of a company-wide crisis.
"The only way to minimize the negative impact of this incident is to provide strong evidence to show netizens that this is pure fabrication and slander, and has nothing to do with Chu Yu himself."
"Simply put, it means using legal means to prosecute the culprits who spread rumors about this incident and to prove Chu Yu's innocence through the law."
"But legal proceedings take too long, and by the time a lawsuit is actually filed, probably not many people will care about it anymore."
What Yu Wei said was indeed true, which is why this is what gives General Manager Zhao the biggest headache.
Chu Yu transition was going well, and she had recently been in contact with many advertising endorsements.
They were about to officially sign the contract, but then this scandal broke out, scaring all the brands away.
Just as everyone was worrying, the meeting room door was pushed open from the outside.
Chu Yu entered gracefully and calmly, carrying her bag.
With a "thud," she slammed her bag onto the table. "I have a solution."
The sunlight slanted down, clearly illuminating the profile of Chu Yu's face.
The calm expression on her face unconsciously inspires a sense of trust in others.
A short while later, Zhang Yue was the first to stand up excitedly, " Xiao Yu, what idea have you come up with?"
Chu Yu looked up at him. "I have strong evidence that proves I don't need to be kept by someone."
These words instantly drew everyone's attention.
The reason everyone has gathered here for this meeting is to figure out how to prove, as soon as possible, that Chu Yu is being framed.
If the truth behind the negative news can be quickly clarified, this incident will not only have little impact on Chu Yu, but can also be used as a free publicity and marketing opportunity.
Under the curious gazes of everyone, Chu Yu spoke again:
"To be honest, I am currently the first heir to the Chu Group."
Chu Yu's words were quite precise.
The first heir refers to the first person qualified to inherit the position after the father of Chu abdicates.
Besides Chu Chen, there are actually quite a few other candidates who are also qualified to succeed her.
Therefore, the Chu Group is still in a rather tense situation.
Of course, the executives in the conference room wouldn't have thought that far ahead.
They were simply stunned by Chu Yu's words.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
The executives' eyes darted around, seemingly doubting the veracity of Chu Yu's words.
After all, Chu Yu has been with the company for two years now.
If she were truly such a powerful heiress to the Chu Group, why would she have spent so long working her way up in their small company?
Logically speaking, this is simply impossible.
Moreover, the Chu Group was simply out of their reach.
No one believed Chu Yu when he suddenly said that.
Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, " Xiao Yu, what are you talking about?"
Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, Chu Yu: "..."
"I'm not making this up. My dad is Chu Tingnian, and my mom is Fang Lanzhi," Chu Yu emphasized again in a serious tone.
However, the meeting room remained silent.
Some people even started whispering among themselves.
"What's wrong with Chu Yu? Could he have been traumatized?"
"These haters are really a nuisance; they've made someone so angry."
Chu Yu: "???"
Are people not willing to believe the truth these days?
Finally, unable to resolve the conflict with these shareholders, Chu Yu could only send a WeChat to his mother.
[ Xiao Yuyu: Mom, could you retweet my Weibo later to prove my identity?]
Fang Lanzhi was playing on her phone at the time and replied instantly: [ Xiao Fangfang: What do you mean by "proof"?]
[ Xiao Yuyu: Prove that I am your daughter.]
[ Xiao Fangfang: Shocked face. jpg]
[ Xiao Fangfang: You're my daughter, aren't you? Do I need to prove that?]
Upon seeing this reply, Chu Yu also wore a look of utter despair.
That's exactly what I meant!
She has to prove herself personally—why would something so absurd happen in the 21st century?!
After a long period of emotional turmoil, Chu Yu finally calmed down and patiently continued to reply:
[ Xiao Yuyu: I need to prove to netizens that I am indeed the heiress of the Chu Group.]
This time, Fang Lanzhi sent a cute emoji half a minute later: [expectant face. jpg]
[ Xiao Fangfang: Baby, you're finally going home to inherit the family fortune! Mommy supports you!]
Chu Yu had indeed been planning to do this recently, so he didn't object.
Half a minute later, Chu Yu logged into his personal Weibo and forwarded the statement that his studio had just released.
[ Chu Yu V: I have always maintained an honest partnership with Mr. Jiang Taolin, the person in charge of the Stockpile Shopping Network. Such rumors are pure fabrication and slander!]
