Lingyun Group’s office.
Qi Xianzhao, He Yuanyuan, Cheng Shuang, and Tian Yan were all gathered here.
Other than the four important leaders, Ji Qingyan was also present.
Although they had successfully blocked Zhao Mo’s first two attemps, this was no reason to celebrate.
Muddy Waters LLC, which had never shown its face until now, was even more difficult to deal with.
For a public company, the most dangerous thing was not the enemy, but negative public opinion.
Any bit of negative news could cause billions in losses.
If things weren’t so serious, Ji Qingyan would not have rushed over personally.
Others might not understand Ji Qingyan, but He Yuanyuan felt much more at ease with her senior sister around.
“Where did President Lin go? Is he still unreachable?” Cheng Shuang asked.
In his opinion, although Lin Yi was elusive, he would still normally show up for such a big matter.
“I called him this morning, but no one picked up,” He Yuanyuan said.
“He has an important surgery today. At this time, he won’t answer the phone even if the sky falls.”
“This matter is extraordinary,” Cheng Shuang said anxiously.
“If we make a blunder, the losses will be unfathomable.”
“You guys don’t understand Lin Yi. He’s very particular about these things. Even if the sky falls, he won’t pick up anyone’s call as long as he hasn’t finished his surgery, let alone due to Muddy Waters.”
“But don’t be nervous everyone. Even though Muddy Waters has an outstanding track record, it won’t be easy for them to dig up any negative news about us.”
“First of all, Lingyun Group is not listed, so it doesn’t have to do any financial reporting. This is one of the sources of negative news they often exploit. That’s how Luckin fell.”
Ji Qingyan paused for a moment. “I’ve also seen the financial reports from Didi. Although there are some problems with the individual accounts, they’re all trivial matters. Even if they’re exposed, it won’t be a big deal.”
“The only thing they can make an article about is the few negative incidents that happened to Didi last year. These things have long been exposed. Even if they want to use it a second time, it won’t be that big of a deal. Let’s calm down and not panic. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way.”
“Got it, President Ji.”
Whoosh!
The office door was pushed open without anyone knocking.
A woman in work clothes entered. Her name was Li Li, and she was Qi Xianzhao’s secretary.
“Director Qi, bad news. There’s a lot of negative news about us on Weibo. You have to take a look.”
Everyone present knew what she meant.
Muddy Waters had made their move!
“Alright, I understand!”
At the same time, Ji Qingyan skillfully opened Weibo. The negative news about Lingyun Group and Didi had already climbed to the top of the trending searches.
The first message that appeared made the atmosphere in the office become gloomy and even more oppressive!
[The CEO of Lingyun Group maintains an improper relationship with many women.]
Ji Qingyan’s body trembled as if her heart had been stabbed.
That indescribable feeling was unbearable to her.
However, she knew that she had to remain calm at this moment.
Despite this, her beautiful oval face still turned pale.
Realizing that something was wrong, He Yuanyuan took the mouse and said,
“What kind of nonsense is this? Even if it’s slander, why bring up such tame news. Let’s look at the other trending topics.”
“Wait. Let’s see what’s written inside first.”
Ji Qingyan took the mouse and clicked to expand the contents. Her expression was normal, but this was because she was suppressing her emotions.

He went to Yangcheng with a woman surnamed Li and stayed in the same hotel together. According to sources, the woman surnamed Li’s name is Li Chuhan. She’s the director of cardiology at a famous hospital in the country @Lingyun Group @Chaoyang Group @Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University @Didi Chuxing.]
Other than that, there were also photos of the three of them below. They were clearly shown and there was no room for denial.
This news was something that no one present had expected.
They had thought that Muddy Waters would attack the two companies, but he did not expect them to personally target Lin Yi.
Muddy Waters did this because they did not find anything on the two companies, so they were forced to change their direction.
“This Muddy Waters is too despicable. They actually dare to release such fake news!”
Although He Yuanyuan usually said that Lin Yi was a scumbag, she started to protect him at this moment.
This was a matter between him and her senior sister. Outsiders should not interfere.
“Right? This is too fake,” Qi Xianzhao said. “I’ll get the legal department to send them a lawyer’s letter now. This is a personal attack!”
“There’s no need for that. There’s no need for you to kick up such a big fuss,” said Ji Qingyan.
“Lin Yi and I are just ordinary friends. We’re just a little closer than usual. It’s not what you think. I’ll get Chaoyang Group’s public relations department to clarify this. The rumors will collapse on their own.”
