Boss, Can I Hug Your Thigh

"Care to explain what do you mean by that?" Hana got curious as she was told to be vigilant when dealing with Lee Yitian and Fang Bingbing. However, it seemed like there was something more to it as the former told Hana to be careful with the latter.

Lee Yitian sighed and just repeated his words. He did not elaborate anything as he was not in the position to tell it. He felt bad not saying it, but he could not do anything as of that moment.

Hana wanted to probe more but stopped. If ever she got an answer, she was not even sure if she was getting a correct one, so what's the point?

She just led him to the conference room to get started with their scheduled meeting.

After finalizing everything, the two went out in a separate way. This time, Lee Yitian did not invite Hana to dine with him even at the cafeteria as his conscience was eating him. He might accidentally blurt out something in case he could not take it anymore.

Hana did not mind it, she was still full after eating the breakfast Father Shen cooked for her. She was not busy at that time, so she browsed the internet. However, it was such a bad move as she frowned while reading the news online.

There were a lot of articles regarding what happened yesterday that should be regarded as fake news, such as:

[Breaking News: Shen Yue of Shen Corporation attacked Fang Bingbing at the headquarters of a known magazine! See details below for the complete story.]

[Assaulted due to jealousy? See below for the whole story regarding the incident between Shen Yue and Fang Bingbing.]

All the stories were inclined to Fang Bingbing. Hana pounded her table as she was furious reading those. She did not even realize that Secretary Liu entered her office.

Secretary Liu was so frightened when she witnessed that scene. Nevertheless, she needed to get the attention of Hana as there was a matter that should be dealt immediately, "Young Mistress…"

When Hana discovered there was someone around her, she adjusted her emotion and looked at Secretary Liu to ask what's the matter.

"The PR Director was asking how you want to handle the rumors surfacing online? He was afraid that our stocks might get affected as Fang Bingbing is a known personality." Hana pondered for a while as she did not expect a simple issue between two women might escalate to something bigger.

"Did he suggest anything? Call him and instruct him to come here."

Secretary Liu obeyed Hana and immediately executed the request.

Director Tang straightaway went to Hana's office after receiving the call. "Ah Yue, how do you want to control the news?" Director Tang was a friend of Father Shen, he also witnessed the original Shen Yue grew up that's why he was intimate when dealing with her.

"Uncle Tang, I'm not even sure who spread the news about what occurred yesterday and gave a fake report. Could you please advise something?" Hana reckoned that Fang Bingbing was behind it, but was there really a need to make it known to the whole public? She did not mention her conclusion to Director Tang yet as she did not have any evidences to prove it.

"The best way should be to apologize, but Ah Yue, I believe you did not even do it. The only photo that was showed online was only a pinched mark." Hana felt relieved when she heard him. There were still people willing to trust her.

"Thank you, Uncle Tang. How about getting a CCTV footage?" Hana presumed there were cameras that captured that event however, she was bound to be disappointed.

"There is, but… It only captured you pinching her, Fang Bingbing falling down, and you running away." Hana was dismayed hearing that. Releasing that footage would never be helpful to her.

Hana clenched her fists as she was thinking some other ways. She was afraid that her reputation might turn to worse if everything would not be resolved. She was not willing to apologize as all she did not was to retaliate after getting hurt.

Director Tang noticed that Hana did not look good but it was the only solution that he could think of as Fang Bingbing's status was really high.

"What about digging some dirt of Fang Bingbing?" Hana couldn't find something yesterday thus she asked Director Tang to do it instead as he might have some connections.

"That… Even though we could find one, the people might not believe it as Fang Bingbing image is too good. They might even think that we are just embellishing her." Hana could not refute what Director Tang said as he got a point. They would not be able to sway the public opinion if they would find only a few news.

"How about me going to charity events?" As she was still strong-willed against making a public apology, she asked if her solution was applicable.

"Ah Yue, it would not solve the issue between you and Fang Bingbing." Director Tang sighed upon uttering those words. He also felt distressed seeing Hana but it would not clear up anything. Apologizing was the only way to avoid getting the company inflicted.

Even he did not want Hana to do it however, for the sake of the people working under them, they should express their regret although it was against their will.

Hana also thought about the people who would get affected because of what she did, her resolution swayed as she was also someone who suffered because of someone's mistake. She asked Director Tang to go back first and she would tell her answer as soon as she could.

She was a considering the pros and cons if she humbled herself. The only thing that she could get from not apologizing was the satisfying feeling that she would not lower herself with people who did not deserve an ounce of respect. However, if she did, their company and people under her would not get affected. There might be some effects to her reputation still, it would be better than totally damaging it.

Hana lamented that she should think first of the others before herself. If there was only herself that she needed to handle, she would not suffer from this. She decided against her will to make a public apology and was about to call Director Tang of her decision when her phone rang.
