She's Hard to Get

This was not the house that Wu Ming normally lived in, but was the basement of his winery. Since it had not officially opened yet, other than him and a few bodyguards, there was no one else in the room.

The reporter was strapped onto a chair in the middle. Although there was no rope tied to him, the moment he moved, the bodyguards beside him would immediately hold him down and not let him move.

"You can't lock me up in this place, this is illegal detention!"

The reporter kept clamoring. He knew that public opinion was his best weapon, so he threatened to write a follow-up report to let everyone know how rich people like them bullied ordinary people. Furthermore, he was not afraid of death. If he died here for the sake of his career, then there would be more people who would stand out to uphold justice for him in the future.

"Stop screaming, I'll talk to you about proper business right away." "Ouyang, sit down. You owe me a big favor today."

When the reporter saw the bag, he unexpectedly revealed a smile. He sat there in a peaceful manner, waiting for Wu Ming and Ouyang Jue to negotiate with him.

"You don't think I'm going to give you the same money as the others, do you?"

Wu Ming took out all the items from the information kit and placed them in front of the reporter. Someone who could create such a report was definitely not a newbie, but a professional hype team. So what Wu Ming was investigating was not the current situation, but the reporter's previous report.

Every single one of those reports were a great source of information, but most of them had nothing to follow up on. The relevant posts and comments disappeared from the internet soon after, probably because those rich people had given the magazine a fee to protect their reputation in order to save themselves.

The people who released the report were all in the same group. This kind of industrial operation should have long been uprooted.

That was why the magazine and the reporter had survived until now. But Ouyang Jue was different this time, the news that he made up practically shook the entire business world. If the reporter could not think of a way to fix the problem, then he was prepared to stay in jail for the rest of his life.

I've investigated it, all of you have extorted as much as ten million yuan over the years, but most of it was squandered on your President. As for you being an accomplice, you should know how many years an accomplice has to be sentenced for such a big case.

Wu Ming pointed to one of the names in the information, one of the employees who worked at the magazine was willing to come out and be a witness to the crime, and the people who were extorted in the past, because of some unexpected changes in their lives, would not become a condition for the magazine to be extorted, so now they were very willing to stand out and recover the money.

"When I go back, I will make a statement to prove that I guessed it. There is no actual evidence. That should be fine, right?"

The reporter knew that he had offended someone he should not have, so he immediately admitted his wrongs to avoid revealing his previous case. Otherwise, he would face a prison sentence of more than ten years.

"Things have gone too far, I'm afraid it's not something you can solve with just an apology. What I want is for things to be completely quiet, just like it never happened before."

felt that this matter was simply a mess due to his concern, he did not expect to investigate further by jumping out of the door of this incident. Fortunately, Wu Ming had a clear mind, and was able to find a way to deal with this kind of despicable person, which was naturally the clearest and most effective way to do so.

"Of course there's a way, of course there's a way!"

The reporter made Ouyang Jue and the others show mercy, but in truth, this matter could still be resolved. That night, the photos he had taken were all under the light of the street lamps, and the images were not very clear. The most powerful evidence was Ouyang Jue's license plate.

He only needed to find two people with similar statures as Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier, act out the events of that night once more, and have them shoot the scene from a different angle, then use their identity as the whistleblower and post it to the internet.

Of course, in this video, he would do the actions of changing the license plate and repeatedly shooting the pictures, letting everyone know that the photos he published were just a scene that he had invited people to perform. In reality, the male and female protagonists were not Ouyang Jue and Ning Caier at all.

When the video was exposed, he would hire some soldiers to post and forward it to the public. When that time came, Ouyang Jue would need to send a lawyer letter to the magazine and they would need to apologize at the magazine. Of course, as punishment, he would be expelled from the magazine.

His Public Relations department was very tight-lipped, and had yet to admit that the male and female protagonist in the photo was him and Ning Caier. He wanted to find two actors to have the stylist make some makeup on them, and under the dim light, they should be able to hide things from the world.

However, Ouyang Jue did not express his stance towards the reporter, but rather set a deadline for him, "Within three days, I want this matter to be settled, if not, all the evidence will be handed over to the police."

In order to avoid jail time, the entire magazine, as well as the President, all started to move. They thought that if they caught a big fish, they would be able to strike it hard, but they did not expect that Ouyang Jue was actually a shark, gnawing them to the point that not even their bones were left.

Making fake news was their business in the first place. The process of this video was very realistic. In order to make people feel like it was secretly taken, they didn't use professional equipment, instead, they used ordinary cellphones. The cameraman hid behind a bush, and in the image, he could clearly see a layer of leaves.

On the day that the video was uploaded to the internet, the number of clicks and retransmissions broke through 100,000. Everyone was shocked by the development of the CEO Tian Ao and the rookie designers.

When the poster, the OP, said that he was filming the video, he thought it was just for a show. He had originally wanted to post it online as a joke, but he didn't expect it to be such a crappy fake news story.

The Public Relations Department of the TiaoAo Group took this opportunity to hold a press conference. It harshly condemned the relevant magazine, and said that they would pursue their legal responsibilities. At the same time, it urged the media not to spread the news that had not been verified.

The affair that shocked the whole business ended with a farce. It lasted no more than five days, and it seemed like everything was under control.

The vast majority of them chose to believe Ning Caier. They felt that if Ouyang Jue really wanted a woman, there was no need to nurture her into a designer.

This matter was resolved smoothly, it seemed like everyone's anger had subsided, other than the extremely sensitive Miss Bai Family.

"Cai'er, I heard that you finally cleared up your grievances. Today, I will treat treating you to lunch as a form of suppression."

The moment Ning Caier moved back to the Design Department, she received a phone call from Bai Youya, and the time was seamless. Ouyang Jue had always said that a lot of people in the company were Bai Youya's informants, and it seemed like she did not even let Design Department off.

Ning Caier knew that among the colleagues outside, there were already people who reported the news to the Lady Boss, so she did not reject them. With Bai Youya's astuteness, it would not be easy for him to believe those videos.

"Miss White, what business do you have with me today?"

The restaurant that Bai Youya chose was not far from the company, and it only took her ten minutes to walk. However, Bai Youya still got someone to drive Ning Caier over, and the car drove around the company for a long time.

There were only two or three tables in the entire restaurant. Other than Bai Youya, the other two tables were filled with bodyguards, it seemed that Miss White had reserved the entire restaurant today to ensure the privacy of their conversation.

"I've already said that I'm trying to calm you down. However, even though the matter is over, it's still an extraordinary period. Therefore, I don't want others to know that the two of us are meeting in private to avoid making too many guesses."

Bai Youya had wanted to ask Ouyang Jue about this the moment the matter was exposed, but at that time, he had kept on finding a reason to decline, and said that the entire TiaoAo Group had gotten very busy with this matter. If Bai Youya appeared at that time, it would definitely worsen the situation.

"Cai'er, why did this matter come to you and Ouyang just now? You are just one of his subordinates, and the reports you made are far from reporting on the value of those little celebrities."

Bai Youya slowly swirled the wine cup in her hand. There were too many suspicious points in this matter, so she had no choice but to continue pursuing this matter.

Bai Youya understood Ouyang Jue, if he and Ning Caier really had a relationship, he would definitely freely admit it, because he didn't care that she knew that she had other women outside, but if that report was rubbish, Ouyang Jue would not have endured for three or four days before making a sound.

But now, with such an obvious piece of fake news, Ouyang Jue actually only wanted the other party to apologize to him, and then expel a reporter? It was something that was completely different from his usual style.

This matter looked to be extremely contradictory, and the only reason that could be explained was precisely the thing that Bai Youya was most worried about, which was that the relationship between Ouyang Jue and him was not ambiguous, but was one of true love. Only if he was moved by true feelings would he think of protecting Ning Caier's interests and reputation and not his own company.

No wonder Ning Caier had never reported Ouyang Jue stealing food to her. If the person Ouyang Jue had stolen food from was her, then everything made sense.

"I don't know either. Maybe the CEO previously had a lot of news about him with a minor star, so they wanted to change identities to have a better topic."

Ning Caier asked with a clear conscience, but when she mentioned the rumors about Ouyang Jue and the other young stars, Bai Youya's face clearly showed displeasure, so she didn't have the patience to slowly probe him out.

"Cai'er, have you been staying in Ouyang's office these past few days?"

Bai Youya knew that Ouyang Jue had never liked people touching his things, and only his woman could sleep in his office. Now that Ning Caier was able to sleep in his room, it was clear that there was a problem.

"I slept there, but the CEO always sleeps at home."

Ning Caier knew that everyone knew about this, so she couldn't lie. The reason she left her there was because the security of the CEO's office was the strongest, and the reporters definitely wouldn't be able to get in. Those few days were chaotic, Ouyang Jue did not allow her to accept interviews with reporters, saying that the more he described, the worse the situation would become.
