"Previously, if over ninety percent of netizens were accusing the boss, now there is a small portion that has started to doubt the authenticity of the matter..."

Huayun·Outer Bund Nine Miles.

Outside the window, the bright moon hangs high. In the spacious living room with white warm tones, the lights are blazing. On the long sofa, hung with an original Hermes painting, Xu Wenqian’s delicate little Jio is clad in cotton white socks, curled up on one side, while on the other side sits Jiang Qingkui.

Having just gotten off work not long ago, Jiang Qingkui is still wearing a well-tailored black OL suit. Due to her sitting posture, the fitted women’s suit pants are tightly stretched, clearly showing the shape of her rounded thighs and the captivating half-curved full moon.

On Jiang Qingkui’s legs is a white ThinkPad X1 Nano, costing over ten thousand yuan, which isn’t considered top-tier, but its mere 970g weight makes Jiang Qingkui quite fond of it, as it doesn’t feel heavy at all when placed on her legs.

The laptop was one of the gifts given by the property management when moving in.

Considering the house already costs several tens of millions, gifting something worth over ten thousand yuan doesn’t seem like much.

At this moment, Jiang Qingkui was browsing the hot search interface on Weibo, while next to her, Xu Wenqian was keeping an eye on other social media platforms like Douyin and Xiao Sweet Potato, constantly monitoring the change in public opinion.

"Apart from the changing direction of public opinion, many people have also actively sought evidence to support the boss."

Xu Wenqian continues to report: "For example, some audience members at the Ao Island event that night have posted proofs, confirming that BlackPink’s performance that night was indeed subpar... Well, this is the gentle wording of some fans, but there are more aggressive ones directly saying BlackPink was just fooling people, thinking Huaxia people are easy to dismiss, and some strongly demanding a refund."

"In addition, some VIP guests at the meet-and-greet event that night posted, claiming that what the boss said was true, that BlackPink was suspected of acting like a diva, making the fans wait for over half an hour, and even directly canceling the meet-and-greet. Later, it was only due to Zhou Wang’s interference that Lisa and Jisoo returned to the venue..."

"Oh, Sister Qingkui, the boss didn’t usually speak in public before, and I never knew he could be so charismatic when serious. Just watching this clarification video, I’m almost charmed to death by him."

Jiang Qingkui listened for a while and gestured for Xu Wenqian to stop. She picked up a cup of hand-brewed coffee nearby and took a sip. Listening to Xu Wenqian’s excited tone, her face showed little joy.

"So, there are still nearly half of the people standing by BlackPink?"

Seeing Xu Wenqian nod, Jiang Qingkui couldn’t help but furrow her beautiful brows.

"Qianqian, you need to understand a fact. Over time, the effect of Mr. Zhou’s clarification video will continue to weaken... Although his words are indeed persuasive and impactful, even if there seem to be many netizens assisting with evidence, it ultimately lacks substantive evidence to support it."

The meticulous thinking brought by her legal education led Jiang Qingkui to quickly spot the loopholes behind the situation.

"Conversely, no matter how Mr. Zhou clarifies, the video of him taking advantage of the girl is real, and there will always be fanatic BlackPink fans clinging to this point."

"If Mr. Zhou doesn’t have subsequent methods to coordinate, then this video can only be said to reduce the negative impact of the whole affair but definitely can’t eradicate it..."

At this point, Jiang Qingkui rubbed her temples, "In the afternoon, President Wu from the official side called me, subtly expressing concern about this matter, hoping we can handle it properly, and mentioned that the process for assisting Mr. Zhou in applying for the ’Magic City Youth Award’ is already underway..."

"Meaning, if this matter isn’t handled well, the boss’s ’Youth Award’ won’t be granted?"

Xu Wenqian widened her eyes.

The predecessor of the "Youth Award" was "Top Ten Outstanding Youth," only the name changed in Magic City, but its value and status are equivalent.

The "Top Ten Outstanding Youth" in Magic City is naturally entirely different from that in Yunan Province, no matter how high Zhou Wang’s current position and status; he can’t remain utterly indifferent to it.

"The officials are still willing to wait and see, which is already a significant leniency; I never thought they’d be so tolerant of Mr. Zhou."

Jiang Qingkui was a bit surprised when she mentioned this matter, "I originally thought that once this issue arose, Mr. Zhou’s selection matters would undoubtedly fail."

"What should we do then?"

Xu Wenqian was starting to get anxious, "Does the boss have any follow-ups?"

"He didn’t tell me, just asked me to wait."

Jiang Qingkui shook her head, was about to continue speaking when her phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller, a flash of confusion crossed Jiang Qingkui’s face, as this person rarely contacts her privately, probably due to their similar aura and knowledge, they seem to have a "king not meeting king" dynamic.

However, Jiang Qingkui maintained an indifferent demeanor and picked up the phone, "Hello, President Qi?"

Jiang Qingkui’s address was formal, as Qi Jiayi’s formal position is the group’s legal director, and on the other end of the phone, Qi Jiayi also appeared quite polite, but after a few words, Jiang Qingkui’s expression suddenly turned to shock, with a hint of doubt.

"Really?"

"Could it be, Mr. Jiang, you think I would joke with you about this?"

"Okay, I understand, I’ll arrange it immediately."

Jiang Qingkui realized her slight gaffe, quickly adjusted, responding before hanging up the phone.

Then, Jiang Qingkui thought for a moment before turning to the curious-faced Xu Wenqian beside her, "Qianqian, you may need to go on a business trip."
