Collection of Gods

Chapter 476: Turning against guests

Yangcheng International Financial Center, Zhang Mei Studio.

In the spacious and bright editor-in-chief's office, Zhang Mei sat at her desk. Two deputy editors stood in front of her with their heads lowered. There was a heavy and depressing atmosphere permeating the scene.

"Sister Mei, I just contacted the staff on Sina Weibo. That hot search cannot be removed, no matter how much money I give, it cannot be removed."

Liu Teng was the first to break the silence and whispered to Zhang Mei.

"Sister Mei, it's obvious that the other party has a lot of energy in the media field, otherwise Sina Weibo wouldn't be able to deny even room for negotiation." When Ma Hanzhang, another deputy editor-in-chief, said this, he raised his eyes. Zhang Mei hesitated and said: "Sister Mei, how about we contact the girl again and see if we can resolve the matter privately."

"Resolve it privately?"

Zhang Mei's eyes were a little cold: "Last night, that girl's brother took the initiative to find me. Do you know what he asked of me?"

When Liu Teng and Ma Hanzhang heard this, they looked at each other. Neither of them expected that Zhang Mei had already met each other. Then they shook their heads and expressed their ignorance.

"The other party made two requests."

"The first request is that I publicly apologize to the entire network for this matter."

"The other party put us on the hot search list and obviously planned to kill us."

When Liu Teng heard this, he knew that Zhang Mei was planning to fight to the death. As long as the other party couldn't produce solid evidence, the matter would end in a war of words. The tougher the attitude now, the better it would be for them.

"This……"

"The second request is that I permanently withdraw from the news media industry."

Zhang Mei's psychological quality is still very strong. Even if she is caught in the whirlpool of public opinion, she can still remain calm and collected. She looked at the two people in front of her and directly said: "Liu Teng, you should start writing now." An announcement stated that our studio has always adhered to an attitude of seeking truth from facts and being responsible for the truth. There is no distortion or fabrication of facts at all, and the online rumors are all fabricated rumors."

Liu Teng nodded, and then asked with a little hesitation.

Ma Hanzhang, who originally proposed to resolve the conflict privately, suddenly didn't know what to say after hearing what Zhang Mei said, because he knew very well that Zhang Mei would not agree to either of these two requests.

"Sister Mei, the current hot topics on the Internet are mainly about the authenticity of the relationship between the grandfather and grandson. Should we respond in the announcement?"

"How can I agree to these two requests?"

"It is impossible to resolve it privately."

"We have no way out now, we can only take a gamble. As long as they can't produce concrete evidence and make empty claims, they can't do anything to us."

Zhang Mei pondered for a moment and then spoke again: "You said this in the announcement. We deleted the article overnight because we found that many self-media and netizens have a tendency to bully each other online. As a conscientious news media, we , resolutely oppose all forms of cyber violence, that’s probably what I mean, this announcement declares that you will be the main author, and after you finish writing it, show it to me before posting it.”

"After this announcement is made, you contact the law firm, send a lawyer's letter to the news blogger, and then post the lawyer's letter online. Celebrities are doing this now, and we should follow suit."

Zhang Mei turned her gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window and truthfully told the two of them what Tang Yuan had asked her yesterday.

"Just explain briefly."

"Um……"

"Sister Mei, it has to be you, you are so awesome!"

After Liu Teng heard Zhang Mei's response plan, his eyes lit up slightly and he couldn't help but clapped his hands: "In this way, our behavior of deleting the post last night not only did not appear guilty, but turned passivity into initiative, directly occupying the moral Take the commanding heights and silence all those who want to use this matter to attack us again!"

Zhang Mei smiled slightly, and then turned her attention to Ma Hanzhang: "Old Ma, Liu Teng is responsible for clarifying the truth, and you are responsible for secretly setting the pace. I ask you to activate all the trumpets in the studio and continue to pour dirty water on that girl. The only way is to let more people know." The more people believe that that girl is a vain money-worshiping girl, the more people will support our studio on the Internet." "Do you need to contact more trolls?"

As a veteran of the studio, Ma Hanzhang naturally has shares. Now that his own interests are involved, the bottom line has long been forgotten by him.

"can."

Zhang Mei nodded slightly: "In extraordinary times, please keep it confidential and don't reveal your identity."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Ma Hanzhang has done a lot of things like this in the past, so Zhang Mei is still very relieved about Ma Hanzhang.

After assigning the tasks, Liu Teng and Ma Hanzhang left Zhang Mei's office.

Soon, the whole office returned to silence.

Zhang Mei looked out at the bustling city through the floor-to-ceiling windows. From last night to now, she had never relaxed because she knew very well that the key to the whole matter was whether the other party could get the evidence.

Late last night, she came back to the place where she took the photos. It was a T-shaped intersection. There were no shops around it. Even if there were shops, they were very far away from the incident site. There was only a traffic camera above the T-shaped intersection. , it is possible to capture the truth of what happened that day.

For ordinary people, wanting to get the surveillance video from traffic cameras is nothing more than a dream. However, after two hot search incidents, Zhang Mei knew that the other party was not an ordinary person at all, and that the other party had far more energy than she imagined.

Things that ordinary people can't do, the other party may not be able to do.

If the other party can get the evidence, as long as the other party posts the video evidence on the Internet, all her efforts will be in vain, so Zhang Mei must make two preparations now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mei picked up the phone at hand, found the phone number of her sponsor's father in the address book, and dialed the phone number.

After about ten seconds, the call was successfully connected.

"Mr. Wang, I am Zhang Mei."

Zhang Mei, who was originally quite dignified in front of Liu Teng and Ma Hanzhang, now behaved extremely meekly and spoke softly.

"Zhang Mei, I have seen all the news on the Internet."

"With the current state of your studio, you don't want to continue talking to me about the third round of financing, do you?"

Soon, a relatively cold voice came from the other side of the phone.

When Zhang Mei heard this, her expression did not change much. It was impossible for the other party not to know that the matter had reached this level. She immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, this is what I want to explain to you in person. I don't know. Are you in the company now? I would like to visit you in person."

"I'm very busy in the afternoon. If you want to come see me, I'll be waiting for you at the Executive Lounge of the Four Seasons Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone directly.

Four Seasons Hotel?

When Zhang Mei heard this, her expression suddenly became dark and unclear.

After a long while, she let out a breath, then forced herself to calm down and get back to work...
